Tips from Guangxi
During this time, the men under the cliff had to go to the nearby village once a day to confirm the news with the phone there, and there was no news for the first few days, but on the third day, a huge envelope was hoisted from under the cliff.
They opened it and found it all paper and photographs.
The first one is a photo of the little brother and them, the fat man is wearing a pair of shorts, and he made a golden POSE by the familiar stream, the little brother and Mengli are sitting on the stone on the side, A-Ning is standing not far away, the clouds cooperate with the fat man to pose a POSE, she may be wearing the ELAND girly dress brought to her by the fat man, and the innocence also brings out a trace of sexiness, which is very in line with the bad taste of the fat man.
At the back of the photo, the fat man wrote three words: envy.
Wu Xie scolded secretly, and looked at Xie Yuchen, who was wearing a bloody vest on the side, did he stand on the wrong team?
Many of the remaining photos were taken when they entered the mountain, and Agui was also there, it seems that they still led the team into the mountain, and Mrs. Huo sat on the Luan car, living out of a Lafayette.
The photos are mostly their daily actions, Xie Yuchen looked impatient, so he quickly flipped through it, until he found a photo marked with a red pen and took it out.
It was a passage of rocks, and the color of the wall of the passage was very bleak under the flash, but it could be seen that the little brother was in the front, and he got out of the way and let the people behind him shoot what he was blocking, which turned out to be a stone slab, on which was embossed a circular pattern similar to a astrolabe.
The photo was taken very clearly, and Wu Xie immediately found that the pattern must have been what they had seen on the iron plate at the end of the hole full of hair. Around the iron plate, there are also a lot of small patterns carved, and the next few photos are all about the details of those patterns.
Xie Yuchen looked at it and took a breath of cold air, obviously not understanding what it meant, Wu Xie asked him to turn it over, and looked at the back of the photo, and sure enough, someone wrote a line of words:
[Seven hundred meters from the entrance, encounter the first obstacle, the key to unlocking this obstacle should be in your place, I don't know where you are, please try your best to analyze. 】
It is very clearly written.
Wu Xie immediately understood that the little brother's actions were related to their actions, and their destination was also related to their destination.
Wu Xie and Yuchen sandwiched the key photos one by one on the steel bars of our "nest", and carefully observed them one by one.
Wu Xie was almost certain that the relief on the stone wall was carved with an iron plate, and the round relief should be the iron plate itself.
The pattern engraved around the iron plate is worth savoring. Judging from the carving method of the relief, the relief of the entire stone wall can not be regarded as a fine product, that is to say, it has little artistic value, many lines are not even completed, this relief must be just a blank, not finely polished.
In terms of style, there are very clear characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, which should be inseparable from the style. If it is a design presided over by Style Lei, but it is a bit perfunctory, it can be seen that the purpose of this design must be more functional than decorative, it seems that this stone wall blocking the road will not be so single.
They arranged the photographs in order, starting at twelve o'clock.
The relief in the first photo is a strange animal, which is a "calf".
There are two different sayings about the "Qilin" kind of things, one is the grandfather of the Qilin, the Qilin is an ancient mythical beast, but it is generally believed that the low dragon is first-class, and the "Qilin" is the ancestor of the Qilin, which takes the dragon as food and belongs to the top of the food chain. The other is considered to be a kind of "魃", that is, a very special kind of zongzi.
The "犼" in the relief is bound by a strange thing, which is connected to the iron plate relief below.
The relief in the second photo, and the first one seem to be connected together, the whole pattern is a whole, Wu Xie can see that it is a need for decoration, there are several people, but it can be seen that those people do not have a right hand.
There are nine people without a right hand, there are long and close views, all of them are naked, and the lower body is a pair of tile pants, making a run away, but they are not flustered.
Wu Xie knew this well, saw the good things, couldn't help but show off, he pointed to those people: "There is no carving, there is no trace of repeated corner repair, these people are almost carved out in one go, although so, but the dynamic body shape of the characters, the front and back are staggered and jumped on the wall, and the top craftsmen are in charge." Although he doesn't pay attention to it, his years of technique allow him to carve his own charm with a few knives. ”
Xie Yuchen's attention was not here, but he asked, "Why don't you pay attention?" ”
Wu Xie said: "Ancient craftsmen are divided into two kinds, one is skillful and proficient in various engineering techniques, called the case, but this kind of people generally only do delicate small things, this kind of ugly work of polishing stones should not be done by them, and the other is what we call skilled craftsmen of pure manual craftsmen, these people have unique skills, but work all day long, rely on physical strength and craftsmanship to eat, this kind of people are craftsmen rather than artists, so, they will not be strict with themselves, can be lazy will be lazy. ”
Wu Xie just judged that the relief on this stone wall is functional, and based on this, there is only one way to make the craftsman go all out, and that is to have a difficult owner to serve.
Xie Yuchen nodded and motioned for him to continue looking.
The next photo, at six o'clock, is a little hard to understand, it's still a group of people, but it's obviously not the group of people who just fled, because these people have sound hands, and they have obvious clothing features. That's certainly not the Han Chinese.
This group of people, all with long knives in their hands, wore strange crowns. There are a lot of people, and the craftsmen use overlapping compositions here, and it is impossible to count how many people there are, but looking at their posture, it seems that they are in ambush.
Wu Xie found it difficult to understand, according to the general convention, in terms of overall composition, all the pictures are expressing a meaning independently, but the reliefs here, three of them are connected together, but they are also very natural. It's hard to say if there are two meanings.
So that the last relief is critical, and he immediately goes to see the last picture.
The relief in the last photograph was not unbelievable, not because the relief was unbelievable, but because there was no relief at all, but three deep holes arranged in the shape of plum blossoms.
The four main motifs, all seamlessly linked together by a large number of decorative lines, are embossed to resemble a strange clock.
When Xie Yuchen saw this, he raised his eyebrows at Wu Xie, not knowing if he thought of something or wanted to express any objections. Then I asked him, "What do you think?" ”
Wu Xie "tsk", he still couldn't let go of his heart, are these patterns connected, or independent? If it's connected, then, he seems to have a little eyebrows.
If the relief carved around the iron plate is represented in a straight line, then the leftmost of this large relief is a "sling", the middle is carved with a few people on the run, and on the far right, there is a group of ethnic minorities wearing strange clothes. And at the end of the carving, there are three holes.
What he cares about the most is the direction of the composition inside, from the content, although the sling is locked on the iron plate, it is still a pursuit dynamic.
The person in the middle has no right hand, his back is facing the calf, and he is in a fleeing form. And the key point is that the image of that group of ethnic minorities is facing the fleeing people, that is to say, the minority swordsmen and the few people in the middle form of a front and back wrap.
This can be understood in many ways, Wu Xie's first feeling is, could it be that this is a killing fight, two parties, one beast and one person, besieging and killing these few people who have no right hand?
On the surface, this is the most reasonable understanding, but what is the point of such an understanding? He just couldn't think of it.
He was almost certain that this kind of specific relief carving must be conveying something, and it could not be a simple decoration, and the decoration was generally a pattern that could be infinitely reproduced and could easily give people a sense of wholeness.
If you don't understand it this way, then there are actually some things that need to be figured out, for example, is this an ambush?
The minority swordsmen were ambushed in front, and the men without their right hands were in charge of making the bait, but if the other party was a swordsman - Wu Xie didn't believe that there would be such a creature - these swordsmen estimated that they would not be able to catch it for a second, and they were all burned to slag.
Reliefs are generally exaggerated, and it is very likely that they could not explain what they encountered at the time, so they applied an image from a myth.
Speculating like this, there was no direction at all, he went close to see all the details of the relief, thanks to the professional SLR camera, the details were so clear that they were a mess.
However, a closer look is even more disappointing, the relief has no details at all.
It is even more difficult to analyze if we assume that they are not continuous, and that each relief has a separate meaning.
How to look at how to shake his head, because he didn't even have a direction to think, Xie Yuchen leaned back and said, "This is a bit like a thousand miles lock." It seems that he may have to go back to that iron plate to have some eyebrows. ”
Wu Xie nodded silently, the Qianli lock is a strategy, not a real lock, but a very effective preventive measure, how to multiply the operation cost of a thing, the best way is to make the elements of success far enough apart, for example, the door is in the South Pole, and the key is in the North Pole. In Norse mythology, slain demons are often cut into countless pieces and scattered around the world, so that conspiracy theorists have to travel for centuries to resurrect them.
However, since there is a mechanism for opening, indicating that this Zhangjia ancient building is not a tomb, Wu Xie guessed that it is likely to have something to do with this group burial system, and it may be that every few generations, according to the ancestral teachings, the dead people of the Zhang family will be moved to this ancient building.
It's just that I don't know how this matter is related to Style Lei, Style Lei's surname is Lei, and the royal surname is Aixin Jueluo, and there is no reason to pay for this mysterious "Zhangjialou".
The little brother is facing a clever mechanism sealing stone, and the trick to opening the sealing stone should be in these four graphics, and the iron disk we have here may be the decoding disk that uncovers the information contained in these four graphics. Exactly how it is, you can only know when you get to the edge of the iron plate.
