Chapter 253: Star Map

"Boss, this is the mural painting of the underground cave that we have collected during this time, take a look, do you find any patterns?"

Wang Shuo put out all the stored pictures in his terminal at one time.

Dense pictures immediately filled Luo Hao's entire tent.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Luo Hao's gaze kept wandering on it, and he began to carefully observe the picture information on it.

"Every drawing on this has animals on it."

Luo Hao's insight and information processing ability are amazing, and he soon discovered this wonderful commonality.

"That's right, no matter which cave you find in the mural, there will be one or more strange animals."

Wang Shuo nodded and affirmed Luo Hao's answer.

"Among the more than 300 murals, there are more than 800 animals. Although these animals have different sizes, different demeanors, and different ways of appearing, there are only four kinds of animals, namely cows, snakes, elephants, and apes. ”

Wang Shuo broke his fingers and began to tell Luo Hao one by one.

"The cave culture appeared in the Nishizawa Kingdom, which appeared in Nishiyama more than 2,000 years ago."

"In the culture of that kingdom, the cow was revered as a 'sacred beast', the embodiment of a god who feeds all things and provides for the world, and has a very high status among the people of Nishizawa, and is generally regarded as their guardian god."

"The ape is the state religion of the Kingdom of Xize, the deity of a god in Manichaeism, and it also has a very important protective significance for the kingdom."

"Similarly, the other two animals that appear on the mural, the python and the elephant, are also mythical beasts in the traditional culture of the Nishizawa Kingdom."

"Generally speaking, the people of Nishizawa do arrange pictures or ornaments to take these things in when they are engaged in civil construction, but it is quite rare for four guardian beasts to appear at the same time."

For these points, Luo Hao also agrees.

After all, this place is the legendary meteorite land, even in ancient times when science and technology were not developed, everyone can understand the special meaning of the period, and it is reasonable to pay attention to some of them.

However, Luo Hao didn't think that these would mean anything, at most, it would prove that this cave was indeed built by the Xize Kingdom, and the others should not be able to find out any information.

"The boss told me before that he was attacked by a mechanical ape when I was in an underground cave, right?"

Seeing that Luo Hao still had a confused expression, Wang Shuo then reminded.

"That's what you mean!"

Luo Hao suddenly realized.

According to their usual exploration rules for man-made underground ruins such as underground palaces, underground ruins of this scale, combined with the guardian animals on the murals, there must be three remaining animal-modeled trap beasts in them.

Thinking that there were other three mechanical beasts of the same level as the mechanical giant ape, Luo Hao couldn't help but be excited in his heart, but then he was lost again.

Although I don't know what level of scientific and technological development the ancient Xize Kingdom has reached, the technical level of a few trap beasts has undoubtedly exceeded the level that can be completed by the current technology.

It is precisely because of this that even though there are a lot of trap beasts now, Luo Hao still can't get them.

He felt that this time he was not only keeping an eye on these machines, but even the studio and even the local government were keeping a close eye on the movements of these mechanical beasts.

As an ordinary explorer, Luo Hao didn't feel that he had a chance to get a piece of the pie.

"In addition to that, I think these murals also have some very important messages on them."

As if seeing Luo Hao's loss, Wang Hao hurriedly led the topic to the countless murals: "Boss, look at the starry sky images that appear on these pictures, they are all the same. ”

Following the direction of Wang Shuo's finger, Luo Hao also discovered this obvious feature.

On these more than 800 murals, as long as there is a night scene, the sky is undoubtedly the same starry background, which should be the simplest and most direct way for ancient people to depict the stars in the sky.

"These are the scenes of the people of Nishizawa depicting the falling stars, and the positions of the falling stars on them are also the same."

Wang Shuo pulled up four or five chapters of pictures from these murals alone, and magnified them several times in front of Luo Hao, so that he could see them more clearly.

"Indeed, the way the stars fell in the same direction, which should be consistent with the fixed position of the stars they observed at that time."

Luo Hao also nodded, and began to seriously observe the entire mural.

He always felt that this star-covered image gave him an extremely familiar feeling, which made him care very much.

Suddenly, Luo Hao seemed to think of something, directly took out the terminal, pulled up a picture, and compared them with each other, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"And so it was!"

The drawings that Luo Hao is projecting now are the underground cave structure drawings they drew some time ago to detect the part.

Using each cave as a structural point, it coincides with a corner of this star map!

What does this mean?

This shows that this underground cave was simply drawn according to this star drawing!

This is quite an astonishing find.

According to this law, it only took Luo Hao and the two of them about ten minutes to restore the structure of the entire underground cave.

Moreover, compared to the special star structure points on the cave, Luo Hao and the others even found out the storage points of all four guardian trap beasts, and the original location of the falling stars.

The fingers gently caressed the projection in front of him, and finally stopped at a point.

According to the logic of the thinking of the ancients, all things in heaven and earth should return to the basics, and this is the most likely place to collect the star.

"Gotta find a way to distract people from this place!"

Luo Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, his brain was racing rapidly, and his gaze finally stopped at the mark of the other three trap beasts.

There's a way!

······

Turning on the searchlight, Luo Hao took in the scenery inside the entire cave.

"No wonder there aren't even decent artifacts anywhere else, they were all sent here!"

Luo Hao looked at the metal and ceramic objects piled up in various corners of the cave in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is a rather wide cave chamber, the distance between the front and back left and right walls is more than 100 meters, the inner wall is carved with quite ornate ornamentation, and the lacquer pieces are mostly gold and red to represent the noble colors, which look particularly graceful under the illumination of the searchlight.

His eyes skimmed over this palatial decoration, and Luo Hao's eyes finally converged on the similar altar in the center of the cave.

On a huge stone tablet in the middle of the altar, a sky blue irregularly shaped ore is firmly inlaid on it, exuding a faint white luster.
