"More sacred than blood?" Xuan Yu'er asked after listening to Gao Zhanbo's words. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

Gao Zhanbo nodded: "When the situation is serious, the Mayans will start to sacrifice different parts of the body, such as human fingers, teeth and other things. However, when the situation is more serious, the use of human sacrifice will occur. Sacrifices were made with the bodies of living people to invoke their wishes. ”

"Is the sacrifice of the living buried all the living here?" Wan Haoqi also asked curiously.

Gao Zhanbo shook his head: "No, they will use a knife to cut the living person directly. abdomen, remove inside. Dirty, and then dedicate the body and blood to God. And the worse the calamity, the worst means of sacrifice will be used, and they need pure people to sacrifice, so the further inside are the maidens and children. ”

"It's cruel." Xuan Yu'er said.

"You said it was for the 'Blood Sacrifice', so what do you think has to do with that crown marking?" Su Man asked.

The ignorance of the people at that time, the rulers also used this to reduce the burden of overpopulation and the spiritual domination of the people. But for the mystery of Maya, people really have to think that maybe there is really a god. Pi Jun interjected.

Is it through God's rule? God, rule, kill. Kill, Crown...... Su Man thought about it seriously, and saw a picture on the wall, which depicted the scene of the 'Blood Sacrifice'.

But suddenly, the grinding stone in front of the painting is not a sacrificial entrail, but a ring-shaped object.

Su Man looked over and found that the place of sacrifice was not this cave, but a tall pyramid-like building like the one he and Lu Wei climbed yesterday.

And the people who were used for sacrifice wore crowns on their heads.

Is there a connection between that? Could it be that there is no crown here, just a hint? Su Man looked at the picture and thought.

Seeing Su Man staring at the picture, he was distracted. The crowd also studied the diagram.

Wang Ran pointed to a circle of discs on the map and said, "I seem to have seen this pattern on another map." ”

"Really? I'll look for it, maybe it's a clue. Su Man pulled out the maps that looked like treasure maps. Looking through them one by one, I immediately found a similar pattern.

"Oops! Annoying, I don't see what it means, and we're not archaeologists. Xuan Yu'er said impatiently.

"Huh?" Su Man suddenly sighed suspiciously.

"Wait......" Su Man said suddenly as if he had discovered something.

Then he spread out all the pictures in his hand, and then took out the big picture.

handed the big picture to Lu Wei and Pi Jun and said, "Lu Wei, Brother Pi, you two just pull this picture apart and only expose this location." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"

The two men nodded, and then unfolded the large map.

And Su Man pressed those maps like treasure maps one by one. From time to time, I looked up at the big map and put it all together.

Then Su Man said to everyone: "Look at it. What does it put together like this? ”

"This, according to the corresponding positions above, is it all put together, is it a circle? However, it is not very round and somewhat uneven. Xuan Yu'er looked down and said.

"Let's just think it's a circle, maybe that's what we're looking for, and there must be some kind of implicit clue in the cave of these hints, and we might be able to find this secret by connecting these clues." Su Man analyzed.

"Then why are you still stunned? Search the hole! Xuan Yu'er straightened up and said.

However, the holes inside and outside have been carefully searched. Nothing was found, and the crowd focused on the mural on the wall in the deepest cave.

"Maybe it's this mural. What tips are given above? Staring at the mural in front of him, Su Man said.

"The mural seems to be telling a story." Lu Wei said.

"Yes, but we don't know the history here, so how can we understand this kind of story?" Zuo Ning said with some regret.

"History...... Oh yes! The last time I went to the library, I read a book that seemed to have a Mayan chapter called "Unsolved Mysteries of World History". It's a pity that I just swept it away at the time and didn't read it carefully, so let me think about it carefully. Tian Xinyu said suddenly.

Xuan Yu'er pursed her lips and muttered quietly: "A doctor is a doctor, and the books I read are different, I will only look for them." ”

"Manman, can you give me a piece of paper and a pen?" Tian Xinyu asked.

"Well, wait for Sister Xinyu." Su Man took out a paper and pen and handed them to Tian Xinyu.

Tian Xinyu wrote the word "Maya" on the paper, and then wrote "sacrifice" below, circled the word "sacrifice" with a pen, and tried to recall something.

And the crowd stopped talking, lest they would interrupt her train of thought.

After a while, Tian Xinyu wrote "crown" after the "sacrifice", and then looked up thoughtfully at the picture on the stone wall.

"Oh, I guessed that." Tian Xinyu shouted.

"Sister Xinyu, what's the story?" Xuan Yu'er hurriedly asked.

"It's not a story, it's a cruel thing." Tian Xinyu looked up at Xuan Yu'er and replied.

"Sister Xinyu tell us about it and see if we can find any clues." Zuo Ning said.

Tian Xinyu cleared his throat and pointed to the mural and said: "I remember that according to historical records, the Maya at that time was not a single ethnic group, but was divided into more than ten city-states, and they were at war with each other. The tallest and largest of the pyramid-like buildings with steep stairs was called the 'Karna' Temple, where the elite and kings lived. ”

"Sister Xinyu, are you talking too far, we are talking about the clue of this crown now, right?" Xuan Yu'er couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Yu'er, don't worry, you listen to me first." Tian Xinyu smiled at Xuan Yu'er and said.

"Yu'er." Zuo Ning shouted with disgust.

"Got it, Sister Xinyu, you go on." Xuan Yu'er stuck out her tongue and said.

Tian Xinyu continued: "Although this 'Kanna' temple is said to be the location of the king's residence, it is also the place where the king and queen of the enemy country were killed and sacrificed after being captured. ”

At this time, everyone looked up and connected to the mural being killed alive. The dead, and the rings like the crown placed on the sacrificial millstone.

"Oh, I see, now the mural depicts a living man with an enemy king. The scene of the sacrifice. Xuan Yu'er suddenly realized.

"Yes, so the entrance to their royal tomb was built on top of the hill." Tian Xinyu said.

"I wonder if this is a prompt to look for something in that royal tomb?" Su Man made a bold guess based on what Tian Xinyu had just said.

"Possibly, but that 'Cana' temple seems to be on the side of the Mayan ruins, should we go back?" Lu Wei asked, looking at the large map.

Su Man didn't answer, continued to look at the picture, and then set his eyes on the crown placed on the sacrificial grinding plate.

"Let's go to the millstone at the entrance and have another look." Su Man said suddenly.

Everyone walked out, but because Su Man was in a hurry, he accidentally stepped on the white bones on the ground that had been lying quietly for thousands of years, making a "click, click" sound, which sounded a little goosebumps.

After three holes and a few more passages, the group returned to the millstone where the sacrifice was placed.

Su Man took out an old cloth and rubbed the thick clod of soil on the grinding plate.

The grinding disc gradually revealed some pattern-like lines, but unlike the general lines, these lines resembled miniature frame paintings.

"It's Mayan writing." Pi Jun looked at it carefully and said with great certainty.

"Brother Pi, do you know Mayan writing?" Xuan Yu'er asked.

"Hehe, Sister Yu'er, I don't know this, but I remember that people have described that most of the symbols in Mayan characters are written in the shape of squares, or enclosed by square lines. It's like Chinese characters are written in a square.

It cannot be broken down into strokes, nor does it have a writing style, and it looks very primitive at first glance, but in fact it is a very developed text, because it can organize more than 200 basic symbols, which can be combined into various words.

If you look at these figures, aren't they just box characters? So I concluded that it was a Mayan script. Pi Jun explained what he knew to everyone in detail.

"It's nice to have words, but it's a pity that none of us know each other." Xuan Yu'er looked at the words on the grinding plate regretfully and said.

Su Man was still rubbing the grinding disc intently, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between Pi Jun and Xuan Yu'er just now, Lu Wei and Su Yuantong walked over and looked at Su Man on the edge and didn't know what he was grinding.

After a while, Su Man let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Yuantong approached, and used a flashlight to shine on the edge of the grinding disc that had been polished by Su Man for a long time, and then saw a small groove, Su Man turned out a knife to clean up the clod of soil in the groove, and with the allocation of a large clod of soil, Su Man lowered his head and picked up the clod of soil.

The water balloon in his hand was accumulated, wrapping the clod, and after a while, the clod turned into muddy water, and what remained in Su Man's palm was a very small key.

Su Man nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is a mystery here." ”

handed over the key to Lu Wei, and everyone gathered around to see, Su Man continued to search around, but it seemed that there were no other clues other than this.

"Let's go! I'm afraid this key is what we're here for. Su Man said.

"Then let's go back and go to the royal tombs?" The crowd asked.

Su Man shook his head: "I guess it's probably the last stop there, and we have to collect the things that these circular cave markers represent." ”

"So what are you waiting for, we go, go, go!" Xuan Yu'er said loudly.

"Well, let's go! If we hadn't made it sooner, we probably wouldn't have made it to another cave today. Su Man smiled and said to everyone.

Walking out along the narrow road, and coming to the water's edge again, Su Man took out the kayak, and still took the kayak out of the cave for blood sacrifice in the order in which he came.

However, as the last group of people to come out, when Su Man rowed the kayak out again, he heard the sound of everyone fighting.
