In an instant, the holes on the three cave walls in front of me were filled, and the cave wall turned into a whole wall. The things sticking out of the holes protruded from the cave wall and looked like part of some relief.

The whole process was very fast. We stared blankly at the changes around us, and no one said anything, because at that moment, "things" grew out of all the holes at the same time, and they immediately grew into such things. The process was actually extreme. of shock.

I even had the illusion that something was about to burst out of the wall.

I used a flashlight to shine on the things protruding from the cave, and I found that they were all carved from the same stone as the cave walls. Each carving protruding from the cave was different. I could tell at a glance, Those are indeed various parts of a certain relief.

I took a step back to the entrance of the cave and looked at the entire cave wall as a whole. I immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that the cave wall should be full of reliefs, but now they have all been knocked off and nothing is left. Down.

These pits are holes dug out in the reliefs, just like a puzzle. A piece is dug out here, a piece is dug out there. All the dug out parts are actually embedded in the depths of those holes. Using a mechanism to drive, a piece is dug out. Once triggered, it will be pushed out by the mechanism inside. Only when the hole is filled will the full relief puzzle appear.

It is really exquisite. With such a setting, the most critical part of the relief is hidden, and can only be seen after the relief is restored.

However, when I looked at the cave wall, I was speechless. All the reliefs except for the key parts had been knocked off. I said why the cave wall looked so rough.

These are very easy to deduce. Xiaohua and his guys made their judgments almost at the same time. Suddenly no one paid attention to the pig. Everyone walked towards the wall to look at the parts that were pushed out.

After barely identifying it, we found that the relief pieces were carved with different things. The most obvious pieces were carved with human hands, but they were all very vague small hands. They were obviously the hands of the figures in the distance. Some of them were There are some lines that are difficult to identify, but there are details. I saw an eye engraved on one piece, so it must be part of a certain face, but that eye is not a human eye. I don’t know what it is. What kind of face.

There are vistas, there are carvings of faces, this must be a narrative or scene relief. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the photos sent from Guangxi. The reliefs above seem to be somewhat similar in detail to the reliefs here.

I immediately wanted to ask Xiaohua, but saw that Xiaohua had already taken out the photo and compared it. After comparing several details, we found that they are indeed good. In the photos taken in Guangxi that we saw before, in the three reliefs around the disk pattern, we found the same details as the relief fragments here.

Those hands,

It was the hands of the ethnic minority figures in the photos I had seen before, and that eye was exactly the same as the "犼" eye in the photo.

It seems that the reliefs on the stone wall in Guangxi in the photo should be the reliefs on the original cave wall here. They are exactly the same.

"So that's what happened." I thought to myself. Although the reliefs here are only piece by piece, the carving skills inside are very high and skillful, and the blade is very round. It is obviously a fine product carefully carved. And just now I discovered The reliefs in the photos of Guangxi seem to be the perfunctory work of masters. It is obviously possible that the reliefs in Guangxi are copies or imitations of the prototypes here.

However, what is the significance of such a setting? I thought to myself, if as Xiaohua said, the reliefs in Guangxi are actually a reminder of this place, then what is the reminder?

I tried hard to figure it out, comparing the photos with the surroundings, trying to find something fishy. But after looking at it for a long time, I found nothing enlightening.

All around, if my back is to the entrance of the cave, then on the cave wall in my left hand is the "犼". If the reliefs are not pried off, the shape of the "犼" must be very spectacular. On the cave wall in front of me , it should be those people without right hands, and on the wall of the cave to my right is the ambush of those ethnic minorities.

The three holes in the photo seem to represent the openings on my back, in exactly the same order.

No one spoke in the entire cave, everyone was looking at the photos carefully. I sat down and took a sip of wine, and felt something was wrong.

Because of the patterns in the photos, I can find that the patterns are very simple and not complicated at all. This is not the kind of very fine relief carving, and it is difficult to see any special information in simple carvings.

So I turned my attention to the iron plate. As soon as I saw it, I immediately understood the problem.

There are countless complicated patterns on the iron plate, but there are two large patterns that form a cross on the iron plate. The top of this cross has a uniform bulge. The protrusion at the twelve o'clock position is very large.

In the iron plate in the photo, the protrusion is at the mouth, and in the iron plate in front of me, the protrusion is at the entrance of the hole. If this bump represents the directionality of the iron plate, then the pointer of the iron plate is pointing to the wrong position.

When I called Xiaohua over, he also frowned, and I said, "It seems that the pattern in this photo is a schematic diagram. It tells us how everything should be placed here. This iron plate It can be rotated, and if you push the iron plate to the same position as in the photo, it is likely to trigger the next mechanism."

Xiaohua touched the iron plate, looked at the photo, and thought it made sense: "Should we push it clockwise or counterclockwise?"

"Generally speaking, it should be counterclockwise, but we just used pig blood to activate the mechanism. The direction of the mechanism may also change. You have to push to know." As I said that, I wanted to go up.

This time, the little flower held me back: "It's best not to turn it again." ④Read on Tianshu Chinese website
