Chapter 305 Fountain Pattern
There are spherical loess bumps on the bottom of the entire broken wall. It seems that these things are the foundation of this palace.After digging these lumps of soil, Chen Ziyang knew that the broken wall had been dug to the bottom by himself.Then he sat on the ground, staring at the picture on the broken wall carefully.

These patterns on the broken wall are very heterogeneous, there are many 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 2000 years, and these patterns can no longer be seen clearly, and the edges and corners of the patterns have been smoothed. Chen Ziyang can only carefully identify the lines of these patterns with great difficulty.

The patterns vary from big to small, and none of the patterns are drawn very well, and all the lines are a little childish. It seems that the person who drew them doesn't have any painting skills.

The largest pattern on the entire wall looked like an eye. When Chen Ziyang saw this pattern, he immediately became nervous. It seemed that the pattern of the eye should be the totem of this ancient country.

These patterns are depicted very tightly, and there are even several places where several patterns are stacked together.From this point of view, these patterns on the wall are not used to record anything, but should be painted and painted here at will.

Among all the patterns, the most frequent appearance is the shape of a villain, but these portrayed villains are horizontal, as if they are sleeping.Moreover, there is a horizontal line under these villains, as if these people are lying on something. This horizontal line is slightly longer than the head and feet of the villains, and I don't know what it means.

Chen Ziyang counted roughly, there are more than 100 such villain patterns carved on this wall, some of these patterns are more detailed, but most of these villain patterns are more casual Well, it seems that the person who drew the pattern here before lost his patience, and the more he dealt with it in the later stage.

When identifying these patterns, Chen Ziyang found that the positions where these patterns were carved were very strange. The patterns were drawn almost close to the bottom of the broken wall, and the tallest of these patterns was only one meter away from the bottom lump of soil. How far, this made him very puzzled.

Walking in front of the broken wall, Chen Ziyang bent down and made gestures carefully. Given his height, it would be very laborious to draw patterns on these places.Even if you want to draw on the highest pattern, you need to bow your body down. If you want to draw on the bottom of the broken wall, you can only lie on the ground.

After making gestures with these patterns for a long time, Chen Ziyang came up with a more reasonable explanation. These patterns should not be drawn by an adult, but by a child of a few years old.It's no wonder that the depth of these patterns is so shallow, because children's strength is not much stronger at all.

After figuring this out, Chen Ziyang also understood why the pictures on the wall were so weird.It seems that this place should be a bedroom or game room for a child who can draw patterns on the walls of the palace at will. The identity of this child should be a princess or a prince.Only such a person can draw patterns on the walls of the palace at will.

It’s no wonder that many of these patterns are stacked together, because the entire wall is so big, and the child’s height is not high, so when the entire wall is fully engraved, he continued in some relatively large gaps. Characterize new patterns, so there are many patterns stacked together.

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

After staring at the pattern on the wall for a while, he frowned.Among all the patterns, it seems that only the villain lying on the horizontal line has appeared repeatedly, and it has repeated more than 100 times. The other patterns are all different, and only appeared once.

This is really strange, why does this child care so much about this little man lying on the horizontal line?What does this pattern represent?Why draw more than 100 times?
The other patterns are animals or small houses, 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 makes Chen Ziyang feel that it has nothing to do with a child's childhood.

A pattern that a child has drawn more than 100 times must be the thing that impresses the child the most.If the villain was standing 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.But the more than 100 villains painted on the wall are all lying down, which made Chen Ziyang interested.

Walking to the broken wall again, Chen Ziyang carefully looked at the patterns of these villains. He found that the patterns on the wall occupied by the patterns of these villains were roughly divided into two parts, the left part, each The little people lying on the horizontal line have a symbol next to them, but the little people on the right side are blank.

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

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

Just in the middle of the villain pattern and other miscellaneous patterns, there is a pattern similar to a fountain.This pattern is not too big, but Chen Ziyang found that this fountain-like pattern looks like the stone pillar and circular stone platform where he placed the diamond before.

This pattern is not very clear, he just glanced over it, and after seeing this pattern, he remembered the round stone platform before, this was his first impression.

After feeling this way, Chen Ziyang stroked the pattern lightly with his fingers, and gradually brought out the sand in the gaps of the pattern with the friction of his fingers.When doing this work, Chen Ziyang didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of damaging the pattern.

After carefully cleaning the mud and sand in the gaps of the entire pattern, the pattern became clear.At the bottom of the pattern is a square base, and a vertical line is drawn in the center of the square base, which should represent the stone pillar.There is a dot at the top of this vertical line, with the dot as the center, there are six or seven divergent lines, which look like the top of the stone pillar is shining.

On the left and right sides of this vertical line, there are four arc-shaped lines. These four arc-shaped lines are like a rainbow, but Chen Ziyang thinks that if this pattern is really about the stone pillars and stone platforms in front of the palace , it is likely that these curved lines represent water gushing from the diamond.It was also these curved lines that made him feel that the pattern was a fountain.

"This makes sense now. Sure enough, the reason why this ancient country of Mi Mi can become an ancient oasis country is because of the water gushing out of this diamond. The glowing thing at the top of the vertical line should represent this diamond."

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked to the side of the fountain pattern, trying to find other clues, but the fountain pattern is independent, and there are no other patterns around to mention this diamond.

"Why didn't there be any response after I put this diamond on the altar? No water continued to flow out of the diamond? The fountain like the one painted on the pattern didn't appear either." Chen Ziyang recalled carefully In the previous picture, after he placed the diamonds, there was only a strong wind blowing from the bottom of the stone platform, and no water flowed out.

"Did I get it wrong? This fountain refers to another place, not the stone pillar where the diamond was placed before?" Then he looked at the pattern carefully again, and found that the pattern looked more and more like the previous circle. Plate-shaped altar.This fountain-shaped pattern should 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, not missing a single one.Because these patterns were relatively short, he kept bowing his body and watching them carefully. After Chen Ziyang read all the patterns, he was so tired that his back hurt, but he didn't find anything else.

Coupled with the exhaustion of the night before, Chen Ziyang felt that he was too weak now, and he urgently needed to lie down and sleep.When he turned around and walked towards his sleeping place, he was still thinking about it.

Chen Ziyang felt that the different symbols next to the villains lying above the horizontal line should be the numbers of the ancient country of Yumi, otherwise it would be impossible for all the villains to have only one symbol next to them, which means Why are there no different symbols next to these patterns in the back, because the characters at that time were not perfect, and there were only so many numbers and symbols, or the child could not write at all.

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

This time 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, the pain in these two places was even worse.

While beating his back with his sore right hand, Chen Ziyang was thinking carefully about the patterns drawn by the child.It seems that the breakthrough point should still be on the altar, but why did the altar not respond when the wind stopped?Is it because of the age that the altar has been damaged?
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang shook his head. This should be impossible, otherwise there would not be such a violent gust of wind blowing out from under the altar, and when the diamond was placed on the altar, the lines on the altar They all lit up, so 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 country, so he packed up his things and prepared to continue digging at the ruins of the imperial palace.

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

Although this pattern is slightly different from that drawn by the child, it can be seen that the two patterns draw the same thing, which should be the altar.

Chen Ziyang had seen the pattern on this sheepskin several times before, but because he still couldn't figure out what the patterns painted on the sheepskin meant, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that these things were just for decoration.But when he saw this pattern, Chen Ziyang knew that the information recorded on the sheepskin was far more than those formulas.

The fountain pattern painted on the sheepskin is colorful, although it is somewhat blurred, but Chen Ziyang noticed that there are several arc-shaped lines on the left and right parts of the fountain pattern, but the whole pattern is left and right. The line colors of the two parts are not the same.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 figured out a clue, these red lines should represent blood, and those blue lines should represent water flowing from the diamond.The meaning of the pattern is that if you want the diamond to flow out of water, you must inject blood into the diamond, which is very consistent with what happened before.

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

Because the color of this part of the pattern has faded a lot, Chen Ziyang lifted up the whole sheepskin and aimed the fountain-shaped pattern at the sun that was about to disappear on the horizon.

Under the sunlight, the pattern looked clearer, and he found that the thing drawn in the center of the circular pattern seemed to be a black human figure.

"There is a person inside this diamond!" Chen Ziyang shouted in surprise, then he put down the sheepskin and took out the diamond, still looking carefully at the setting sun.

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

"Forget it, don't think about it, true knowledge comes from practice, I'd better go to the altar to study there."

When he came to the altar, Chen Ziyang placed the diamond again. 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 blood on the diamond again.
