Chapter 337: Creatures Afraid of the Sun
Professor Cui slowly walked to the front of the mural, and based on decades of experience, he had a little look, and he knew what to expect.
Obviously, these murals, painted around the cave walls, are narrative.
In order to understand the contents, you must first find the source of the mural, that is, where the mural was first painted.
However, there is a big problem here.
That is, the equipment brought by Jin Hui can only illuminate a small area of murals, which is very limited, and it is not easy to observe the whole picture of the murals.
If you can't take pictures after a little bit of time, then, after looking at the front mural, and then looking at the back mural, I'm afraid you will forget the content of the front mural.
Everyone thought for a while, what should they do?
Fortunately, this archaeological activity brought Gu Lili, who is good at painting, and this kind of thing is not difficult for her.
So Gu Lili took out her sketchbook and began to trace some of the murals that could be seen, and then, putting all the tepicted pictures together, Professor Cui was able to see the problem comprehensively.
The lines of this mural are relatively simple, and it is not difficult for Gu Lili, a top student of the art department.
Jin Hui took the lighting equipment and moved it little by little, and wherever it went, Gu Lili quickly drew the lines of that area on the sketchbook.
Zhou Xiaolong was a helper for Professor Cui, and Ouyang Lei was helping Gu Lili with a flashlight, it seemed that only Aza was more idle, and I don't know if Aza was lucky today, could he find the baby he wanted?
After Jin Hui took a picture of the entire cave wall with that equipment, Gu Lili drew a total of thirteen pictures, but in fact, it only took an hour and a half, and the speed was really fast.
Next, Professor Cui put all the pictures painted by Gu Lili on the ground, which is clear at a glance.
Then, everyone looks down at the pictures, and first of all, you need to arrange the pictures in order.
Professor Cui is worthy of being an old scholar, looking at those messy and disorderly patterns, based on some ancient written records above, he sorted out the clues little by little.
Soon, Professor Cui arranged the pictures in a row and assembled them into a long scroll with very narrative content.
When it happened, Jin Hui looked at the pictures, raised his head and asked Professor Cui, "Professor, now that the order of the murals has been arranged, can you see the contents of the murals?!" ”
Gu Lili also asked: "Yes, Professor Cui, what are those strange contents on the mural trying to tell us!?" ”
Professor Cui closed his eyes and organized some words and ideas, and then he started with the first picture, as if he were teaching students in class.
Zhou Xiaolong, Gu Lili and Ouyang Lei were all listening carefully, and Aza was also standing next to him, as if he was also listening curiously.
What Professor Cui said was relatively simple, perhaps because Professor Cui deliberately made his words concise and easy to understand.
Professor Cui told everyone that the first mural on the wall of this cave is not complicated, and the content of the painting is not complicated, as if to say that a long time ago, some ancients discovered that there was a deep hole in this cave.
There are some magical things about this cave, and then many craftsmen have come here to expand the area of the cave and smooth the road surface of the cave to make it easier for people to enter and exit.
The above is the content of the first picture, and the content of the next two pictures seems to be a little weird.
A hole is depicted in the picture, and inside the hole, there are some small, small black dots like ants crawling out from the bottom of the hole.
After all the little black dots crawled out of the hole, someone temporarily closed the hole, and then there was no way for the little black dots to return to the hole.
Then, on the next picture, a huge sun was depicted, and under the light of the sun, the little black dots seemed to be unable to move, as if they had been sunburned to death.
Then, when the little black dots were completely sunburned, the humans reappeared, and they collected the little black dots and took them away......
Basically, this is what the mural is trying to convey to the reader, but there are still some words in the corners, because most of them are ancient words of mountain people, and there are many typos, and Professor Cui is still trying to crack it.
After Professor Cui told everyone what was on the picture based on his analysis, everyone began to discuss.
When Gu Lili was tracing the mural, she also had her own thoughts, Gu Lili said: "I think that the hole above the mural is probably this bottomless pit......
Ouyang Lei thought for a while and said, "Could it be that this hole is a huge ant hole, and ants will crawl outside?!! ”
Gu Lili glared at Ouyang Lei, "You are so stupid, that little black dot is definitely not an ant, I think, it is the kind of wild monkey that Brother Aza said......"
As soon as Gu Lili said this, everyone became nervous and stared at the entrance of the cave for a long time.
If something really can crawl out of the bottomless pit, everyone will suffer together!!
However, Professor Cui immediately comforted everyone and said, "Don't be nervous, there is a content on the mural that is worth noting......"
Jin Hui looked at Zhou Xiaolong, but asked Professor Cui, "What's the content?!" ”
Professor Cui pointed to a picture and said, "Look, isn't there a big sun painted there?" ”
Ouyang Lei asked, "Yes, Professor Cui, but what does this mean?" ”
Professor Cui paused, looked at the bright sky outside, and then said: "This shows that those creatures who climb up from the bottomless pit should be very afraid of the sun, and their lives will be in danger when they encounter the sun, which is also a common problem of some creatures in the underground abyss, it is daytime, I think, we don't need to be so nervous......
Zhou Xiaolong grabbed his hair with his hand and said slowly: "I have some ideas, which may not be accurate, do you want to listen to them?" ”
Professor Cui has always been optimistic about Zhou Xiaolong, and immediately encouraged Zhou Xiaolong, "Well, you say come and hear ......."
Zhou Xiaolong thought for a while, "I think, let's assume that the mural is painted with wild monkeys, wild monkeys climb up from this deep hole, they can only move at night, after dawn, they will crawl into the hole to hide or rest, if those wild monkeys do not return to the shelter after sunrise, it is likely to be exposed to the sun, it will become something else......"
As soon as Zhou Xiaolong's words came out, including Professor Cui and Jin Hui, everyone looked at Zhou Xiaolong.
Gu Lili asked, "Xiaolong, what do you say will become?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong said simply: "Wooden pimple." ”
Professor Cui stared at Zhou Xiaolong and asked, "Xiaolong, do you mean the kind of pimple that the Aza brothers once picked up?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong nodded, "Yes, that's what I thought." ”
Jin Hui lowered his head and said, "Well, thinking so, it seems that it is really possible." ”
Zhou Xiaolong smiled, "I also know that this thing sounds a little unbelievable......
Professor Cui hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Xiaolong, what you said makes a lot of sense......
