Origin

After Xiao Qin finished speaking, everyone nodded. Xiao Qin's statement coincided with the opinions of experts from the headquarters. Regardless of the role the Aryans played in the Sanxingdui civilization, one thing is certain, that is, the Sanxingdui civilization has Aryan involvement.

There are three arches in this circular area. Each arch is engraved with the head of a character. These three heads are of the same type as the unearthed bronze masks. They are all very abstract. However, due to the distance, they cannot be seen. What are the specific differences between these three avatars?

No one came closer to observe immediately, because Xiao Qin was observing the messy footprints distributed in the circular area. There were a large number of footprints in front of each arch, which showed that Zhao Ying and others had observed these three arches at close range.

After observing, Xiao Qin came to the conclusion, "They first went to the north gate together, then went to the east gate together, and finally went to the west gate together. After observing the heads on the three arches, they entered the north arch together. .”

After Xiao Qin finished speaking, Wang Xinran stepped into the circular area and walked towards the west gate. Everyone followed her to the west gate.

The arch has no door leaves. Behind these three arches there are descending steps leading to the interior. The head on the west door has a Chinese character face, a wide forehead, long eyebrows, a pointed nose but not very full nose. In addition, there are Has very long big ears.

After carefully looking at the portrait on the west gate, everyone went to the north gate. The portrait on the north gate also had a Chinese character face, with splayed eyebrows, an aquiline nose, a wide mouth, big ears, and vertical eyes. The so-called vertical eyes are The eyes are cylindrical and convex.

The last thing I looked at was the portrait on the east gate. The portrait on this top is very similar to the one on the west gate. They also have cross-eyed faces. The difference is that the cheekbones are higher and the facial features are softer.

"This one might be a woman, and the one to the west should be a man." Huang Hailin said.

Everyone agrees with Huang Hailin's statement, because after comparison, the head here is obviously more feminine, and the one to the west corresponds to it, which is undoubtedly a man.

Everyone returned to the north gate again. The head above was very different from the east and west heads. The biggest difference was the eyes. Both the east and west heads had normal horizontal eyes, but this one had convex vertical eyes.

After careful observation and comparison, Wu Zhongyuan said, "This person's expression seems to be more sinister than the other two."

No one answered him. It wasn't that they didn't agree with what he said, but that everyone couldn't figure out what the three avatars represented. The different meanings represented by these three heads determine the different nature of these three roads.

The first person to speak was Xiao Qin, "Judging from the wear and tear of the stone slabs under the arch,

The road to the west was the most traveled in those days, the road to the east was slightly less traveled, and the road to the north was the least traveled. It may have been that few people set foot on it back then. "

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. This was the altar where Sanxingdui people used to worship. The three arches may represent different objects of sacrifice, or different natures of sacrifice.

Wang Xinran turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan. Although he did not speak, his intention was obvious. He was asking for his opinion on which way he wanted to take.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "They should also be trying their luck. If they knew in advance that the north road was correct, they would not go to the east or west."

Wang Xinran nodded, "But they have more clues than us. At least they know the identity of the warrior carrying the spirit stone and why he is here."

"Go in the middle." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran nodded in agreement and took the lead.

Everyone followed. The steps here were smaller than the steps above, but they were also three meters long and more than one meter wide.

While walking, Huang Hailin said, "As far as I know, all sacrifices have specific objects and purposes. Who was the object of sacrifice back then? What was the purpose of the sacrifice?"

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, no one answered. These two questions also troubled everyone. The nature of the sacrifice was actually similar to giving a gift. Who should it be given to? Why send? What do you want to get from the gift recipient?

Since Zhao Ying and others had walked this road not long ago, potential dangers had been eliminated, so everyone walked faster. Soon, the steps disappeared and everyone reached the end.

The so-called end means there is no way, and a thick bronze pillar blocks the way. No one knows how thick the bronze pillar is, but it is certainly more than three meters, because the entire descending steps are blocked by it.

While Wu Zhongyuan was looking at the bronze pillar, Xiao Qin knelt down and picked up a small object. Huang Hailin was closer to her and the first thing she saw between her fingers was a pistol bullet shell.

Xiao Qin brought the cartridge case to her nose, sniffed it and said, "The firing time is between three and six hours."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know what Xiao Qin based his judgment on, but he discovered a problem, "They came down before six o'clock, nearly eleven hours earlier than us."

"That's right, six hours at most." Xiao Qin said.

"Then what have they been doing down there for the past five or six hours?" Wu Zhongyuan wondered.

Huang Hailin took over the conversation, "Maybe he's looking for a mechanism to open the door."

Everyone turned to look at him after hearing this. Huang Hailin pulled out a strange hammer from his waist and knocked on the bronze pillar blocking the road. "The tremolo is obvious. The inside of the copper pillar is hollow. The thickness of the outer layer of the bronze will not exceed Twenty centimeters.”

"Where is the mechanism that opens the door?" Wang Xinran looked around.

"It should be around here, but it's very hidden." Huang Hailin said.

Xiao Qin added, "They did not go back and their activities were concentrated within ten meters."

Everyone looked for it together, taking pictures, touching, and knocking.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't get his hands on it, so he carefully observed the copper pillar. There were no patterns on the copper pillar, and the surface was very smooth. The copper pillar blocking the road was tightly connected to the steps. In order to fit with the copper pillar, the last step was also It is not complete, the middle is concave, and it is close to the copper pillar.

Wu Zhongyuan squatted down and picked up a small amount of debris from the right side of the steps. After twisting it, he found that it was the residue of copper rust. "This copper pillar should be able to rotate to the right."

Wang Xinran said, "Look for any craters left by bullets."

"No." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He had just looked at the copper pillar carefully.

"Then he was the one who fired after the copper pillar turned around." Wang Xinran said.

Although they knew that the mechanism for turning the copper pillar was nearby, everyone kept looking for it but found nothing. Huang Hailin was a master in this area. He was a little embarrassed that he could not find the mechanism to turn the copper pillar. He carefully checked the stone walls within ten meters. After several times to make sure that the opening mechanism was not on the stone walls on both sides, I started to check the copper pillar itself. However, the surface of the copper pillar was very smooth, and there was nothing hidden at a glance.

Seeing that Huang Hailin was a little impatient, Wu Zhongyuan comforted him, "Don't worry, if it was so easy to find, they wouldn't have delayed five or six hours."

Wang Xinran also reminded, "They don't understand the mechanism. They should have found it with some kind of instrument."

Huang Hailin nodded and looked up at the top of the stone wall. The height of the space where everyone is currently located is about three meters. If the person opening the door holds something like a staff, he can also touch the top.

But after inspection, the top part was also ruled out.

Huang Hailin stopped searching and closed his eyes to think.

"Have you never encountered a similar agency before?" Wang Xinran asked.

Huang Hailin shook his head, "This kind of mechanism is much more complicated than what I have encountered before."

"Is it possible it's voice controlled?" Wang Xinran asked again.

"Impossible," Huang Hailin shook his head and said, "The principle of the mechanism is the transfer of energy. There are complex mechanical transmission devices behind each mechanism. Their metallurgical level has not reached the level of being able to sense vibrations. It should still be pressure. trigger."

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, he leaned over and tilted his head, carefully looking at the connection between each step and the next step. When he saw the second step below, he took a long breath and said, "Found it, here."

After hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look and saw a shallow indentation of about two centimeters below the second step.

"Gravity trigger." Huang Hailin raised his hand to signal everyone to get out of the way, and then stepped on the middle area of ​​the second step.

After waiting for a while, the mechanism was not activated. Huang Hailin waved to Wang Xinran. Wang Xinran understood and stood up.

Still didn't see the mechanism start up. The two adjusted the pedaling position, but still no response.

Huang Hailin made a gesture to Xiao Qin again, and Xiao Qin also stood up, but it still didn't work. It wasn't until the three of them were separated on the left, middle and right that the mechanism was triggered and the steps began to sink slightly.

The mechanism started and the copper pillar began to rotate slowly.

"It takes three people to step on different positions to open the door." Huang Hailin was relieved. "Be careful. The mechanisms here are much more complicated than those I have seen before."

The copper pillar turned very slowly. Wang Xinran and Xiao Qin pulled out their pistols and waited for the copper pillar to turn around.

After a few seconds, the back of the copper pillar turned around. The inside of the copper pillar was empty, with at least seven or eight square meters inside, much like a large elevator.

But after the copper pillar turned around, everyone did not go in immediately, because not only a large number of bullet casings remained in the copper pillar, but also mottled blood stains.

What happened to Zhao Ying and others? What struck them...
