Chapter 428: Fountain Pattern

There are spherical loess lumps under the whole broken wall, and it seems that these things are the foundation of this palace. After digging these lumps, Chen Ziyang knew that this broken wall had been dug to the bottom by himself. Then he sat down on the ground, staring at the picture on the broken wall.

The patterns on the broken wall are very mixed, there are a lot of things painted, very messy, and the depth of the depiction is not too deep. The broken wall has been buried under the yellow sand for 2,000 years, and these patterns are no longer clear, and the edges and corners of the edges of the patterns have been smoothed, and Chen Ziyang can only carefully identify the lines of these patterns with great difficulty.

The patterns are large and small, all the patterns are not too good, all the lines are a little naïve, it seems that this portrayal of the person does not have any painting skills.

The largest pattern on the entire wall looks like an eye, and when he saw this pattern, Chen Ziyang immediately became nervous, it seems that the pattern of this eye should be the totem of this ancient country.

These patterns are very closely depicted, and there are even several places where several patterns are stacked together. In this way, these patterns on the wall are not used to record anything, but should be randomly carved and painted here.

Of all the patterns, the most frequent is the shape of a small figure, except that the depicted figure is horizontal, as if sleeping. And there is a horizontal line underneath these little people, all like these people are lying on something, this horizontal line is slightly longer than the head and feet of the little people, and I don't know what it means.

Chen Ziyang roughly counted, there are almost more than 100 villain patterns carved on this wall, some of these patterns are more detailed, but most of these villain patterns are depicted more casually, it seems that the people who carved the patterns here before have lost their patience, and the more they deal with things in the later stage.

When identifying these patterns, Chen Ziyang found that the position of these patterns was very strange, the patterns were almost carved against the bottom of the broken wall, and the highest one of these patterns was only more than a meter away from the bottom of the lump, which made him very incomprehensible.

Walking in front of the broken wall, Chen Ziyang bent down and carefully compared, with his height, it would be very difficult to draw patterns in these places. Even if you want to depict it at the highest point, you need to bow down, and if you want to depict it at the bottom of the broken wall, you can only lie on the ground.

After comparing these patterns for a long time, Chen Ziyang came up with a more reasonable explanation, these patterns should not be carved by an adult, but a child of a few years old. It's no wonder that the depth of these patterns is so shallow, because a child's strength is not much greater.

Thinking about this, Chen Ziyang also knew why the pictures on this wall were so weird. It seems that this should be a child's bedroom or a playroom, and the pattern can be carved on the walls of the palace at will, and the identity of this child should be a princess or a prince. Only such a person was able to carve patterns on the walls of the palace at will.

It's no wonder that many of these patterns are stacked together, because the whole wall is so big, and the child's height is not high, so when the whole wall is all carved, he continues to carve new patterns in some relatively large gaps, so there are many patterns stacked together.

Guessing the origin of the pattern, Chen Ziyang felt a little disappointed in his heart, these children's graffiti should not be able to provide him with any useful clues.

After staring at the pattern on the wall for a few more moments, he frowned. Of all the patterns, it seems that only the little man lying on the horizontal line has been repeated, and it has been repeated more than 100 times, and all other patterns are different, and they only appear once.

It's a little strange, why would this kid care so much about this little man lying on the horizontal line? What does this pattern mean? Why do you want to draw more than 100 times?

The other patterns are some animals or small houses and the like, and there are some patterns that Chen Ziyang can't understand at all, but all these patterns are more in line with the children's painting style. Only this pattern made Chen Ziyang feel that it had nothing to do with a child's childhood.

A pattern that a child has drawn more than 100 times must be the most impressive thing in the child's heart. If the figure was upright, Chen Ziyang would not have much interest in this pattern, because the world of children is relatively simple, and the people they draw are basically standing. And the more than 100 villains painted on the wall are all lying down, which makes Chen Ziyang interested.

Walking to the broken wall again, Chen Ziyang looked carefully at the patterns of these villains, and he found that on the wall occupied by these villain patterns, the patterns were roughly divided into two parts, the left part, each of the villains lying on the horizontal line had a symbol next to it, and the sides of the villains on the right were blank.

Some of these symbols are very simple, like a stroke of a Chinese character, some are a few strokes, and a few are more complex. After sketching these symbols for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very likely that these were the characters of the ancient kingdom of Sumi.

He didn't know the words at all, and he didn't know what they meant, so Chen Ziyang turned his attention to the other mixed patterns, hoping to find some other clues. Looking at it this way, he really found a more important pattern.

Just between the figure and the other motifs, there is a fountain-like motif that resembles a fountain. The pattern wasn't too big, but Chen found that the fountain-like pattern looked like the stone pillar and round stone platform where he had placed the diamonds.

This pattern is not too clear, he just glanced at it, and after seeing this pattern, he remembered the round stone platform before, which was his first feeling.

After having this feeling, Chen Ziyang gently stroked the pattern with his fingers, and brought out the mud and sand in the gaps of the pattern little by little with the friction of his fingers. When carrying out this work, Chen Ziyang did not dare to exert too much force, for fear that he would damage the pattern.

After carefully cleaning the entire crevices of the pattern, the pattern became clear. At the bottom of the pattern is a square pedestal, with a vertical line drawn in the center above this square pedestal, which is supposed to represent the stone pillar. At the top of this vertical line there is a dot, with the dot as the center, there are six or seven lines that radiate out, and it looks as if the top of the stone pillar is glowing.

On the left and right sides of this vertical line, there are four arc-shaped lines, and these four arc-shaped lines are like rainbows, but Chen Ziyang thinks that if this pattern is really painted with stone pillars and stone platforms in front of the palace, it is very likely that these arc-shaped lines represent water gushing out of diamonds. It is precisely these curved lines that make him feel that this pattern is a fountain.

"It makes sense at once, and sure enough, the reason why this ancient country can become an oasis ancient country is because of the water gushing out of this diamond. The thing that glows at the top of the vertical line should represent the diamond. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked at the edge of this fountain pattern, trying to find other clues, but the pattern of this fountain was independent, and there were no other patterns around to mention this diamond.

"Why didn't I react when I put this diamond on the altar? There is no water flowing out of the diamond? The fountain as depicted in the pattern also does not appear. Chen Ziyang carefully recalled the previous picture, when he placed the diamond, only a strong wind blew from the bottom of the stone platform, and no water flowed out.

"Am I mistaken? Isn't this fountain referring to something else, not the same stone pillar where the diamonds were placed before? Then he looked at the pattern more closely, and found that the more he looked at it, the more it looked like the disc-shaped altar from before. This fountain-shaped pattern is supposed to be the stone plate and stone pillar.

Because of this important discovery, Chen Ziyang looked at the patterns on the entire wall one by one, and did not miss a single one. Because these patterns are relatively short, he has been bowing down and looking at them carefully, and when Chen Ziyang looked at all the patterns, he was already tired and had back pain, but he didn't find anything else.

Coupled with the tiredness of the previous night, Chen Ziyang now feels that he is already weak and needs to lie down to sleep and rest. As he turned around and walked to his sleeping place, he was still thinking.

Chen Ziyang felt that the different symbols next to the villains lying above the horizontal line should be the numbers of the ancient kingdom and the like, otherwise it would be impossible for all the villains to have only one symbol next to them, which is why there are no these different symbols next to these patterns in the back, because the words at that time were not sound, and there were only so many number symbols, or this child would not write at all.

Now Chen Ziyang was exhausted, and after reaching the end of the alley, he fell down on the sheepskin and fell asleep.

This night, Chen Ziyang slept in the dark, and when he woke up in the evening, he felt that his muscles were sore, especially his right arm and his back, which were even more sore.

While beating his back with his sore right hand, Chen Ziyang carefully pondered the patterns carved by the child. It seems that the breakthrough point should still be on the altar, but why did the altar not react when the wind stopped? Is it because of the age that this altar has been damaged?

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang shook his head, this should be impossible, otherwise there would not be such a violent wind blowing out from under the altar, and when the diamonds were placed on the altar, the lines on the altar were all shining, so it seemed that the altar should not be damaged.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang found that he still hadn't found a way to open the treasure of the ancient kingdom, so he packed up his things and prepared to continue digging at the ruins of the palace.

Just as Chen Ziyang was about to put away the sheepskin that he used as a mattress, he suddenly saw that there was also a fountain pattern on this sheepskin that was exactly the same as the one depicted on the wall.

Although this pattern is slightly different from the child's depiction, it can be seen that these two patterns are depicted in the same thing, and it should be the altar.

Chen Ziyang had seen the patterns on this sheepskin several times before, but because he had never understood the meaning of these patterns painted on the sheepskin, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that these things were only used for decoration. But when he saw this pattern, Chen Ziyang knew that the information recorded on the sheepskin was much more than those mantra words.

The fountain pattern painted on the sheepskin is colorful, although it is a little blurry, but Chen Ziyang noticed that the left and right parts of the fountain pattern also have several arc-shaped lines, but the color of the lines on the left and right parts of the whole pattern is different. The four arcs on the left side of the pattern are blue, while the four arcs on the right side of the pattern are red.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang felt a trace of the vein, these red lines should represent blood, and those blue lines should represent the water flowing out of the diamond. The idea is that in order for the diamond to flow water, blood must be injected into the diamond, which is very much in line with what happened before.

And at the top of the whole pattern, that is, at the top of the vertical line that represents the stone pillar, there is also a large dot that is radiating light, but this origin point is larger than the child's depiction, and there seems to be something in the center of this dot.

Because the color of this part of the pattern had fallen off quite a bit, Chen Ziyang held up the whole sheepskin and aimed the fountain-shaped pattern at the sun that was about to disappear on the horizon.

The pattern looked clearer in the sunlight, and he noticed that the thing drawn in the center of the circular pattern appeared to be a black human figure.

"There's a man in this diamond!" Chen Ziyang shouted in surprise, and then he put down the sheepskin, took out the diamond, and still looked at the sunset carefully.

The whole diamond is very transparent, there are no human patterns or imprints in the diamond, and even impurities are not visible. Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked at some of the other patterns on the sheepskin carefully, but he still didn't understand what the other patterns meant except for the fountain pattern.

"Forget it, I don't want to, practice makes true knowledge, I'd better go to the altar and study there."

When he came to the altar, Chen Ziyang placed the diamond again, and after waiting for a while, he found that the diamond did not respond, so he bit the middle finger of his right hand and dripped his own blood on the diamond again.
