Someone had arrived at the top of the pyramid earlier than the two of them. There were not just one or two people, but more than ten people. Gu Fengchun's face twitched, and a familiar picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
Lili.
After counting, a total of eleven people wearing white clothes appeared in front of them. These eleven people gathered around the altar made of a piece of white jade that was used to worship the pyramid. The altar was empty, with nothing on it, but it could be vaguely revealed.
Passing through the human wall, you can see the faint traces of blood on the altar. It is obvious that the altar has been stained with the blood of many people.
Luo Xiaodan's face became ugly when she saw the white jade platform that was soaked in blood and turned red. She is an expert in appreciating jade, and of course she knows that this clear color appears due to long-term immersion in blood.
Yes, it seems that this altar has been offering living sacrifices for many years! Thinking of this, Luo Xiaodan felt a tingle in her heart. But she didn't see that Gu Fengchun's body was trembling slightly.
Gu Fengchun took a deep breath, and his mind suddenly fell into chaos. If he guessed correctly, he already knew what was about to happen next. Because in the passage of the hidden city, he was already in
We saw this scene in those reliefs. The eleven unusually tall priests committed suicide on the altar one after another.
"Could it be that the relief carving depicts the scene in front of me?" Gu Fengchun thought in horror. The eleven people in front of him are also unusually tall, with an average height of over 1.9 meters. Although the height is still the same as that in the relief carving.
Those images that are about two or three meters high are majestic, but Gu Fengchun has reason to believe that the characters in the reliefs have been artistically processed. What Gu Fengchun is most certain about is that the faces of the eleven people in front of him are
Wearing a bronze mask.
The distinguished status of these eleven people can be seen from the bronze masks on their faces. The surface of the bronze masks of four or five of them is covered with a layer of gold foil, making them look glittering, rich and luxurious.
There is also a three-legged crow engraved on the gold foil, which seems to be their clan emblem or something. The bronze masks on the faces of the remaining people are all covered with silver foil, which also looks shiny, but there are people surrounding it.
A man with a rather unique mask. The left face of his mask is made of gold foil, the right face is made of silver foil, and his forehead is inlaid with a deep, clear emerald. This emerald is like an upright eye, shining brightly.
Luminous, Luo Xiaodan is a real person who knows the goods. When he saw the jade on the man's mask, he whispered: "Emperor Green!" Imperial green is the king of jade, and it is a rare gemstone that can only be found in the jade industry. Like
Luo Xiaodan, a monster who can identify the materials inside gambling stones at will, has never had such an opportunity in the past ten or twenty years.
Gu Fengchun didn't seem to hear Luo Xiaodan's call. He took a deep breath, turned around and looked around at the people kneeling on the ground. In his mind, these people gradually overlapped with the reliefs seen in the corridor of the hidden city.
Getting up, I became more sure of my feelings.
"Xiao Dan, we have to go up quickly." Gu Fengchun calmed down his excitement and exhaled. Now there are only a few stone steps away from the top of the altar. Three steps, two steps, two people
So they stepped up. After they went up, they discovered that the top of the pyramid was not very big, only about twenty square meters at most. Because of this, people below could clearly see what was happening on the altar.
matter.
"Feng Chun, look, the crystal skull!" Luo Xiaodan suddenly exclaimed.
Following the direction of Luo Xiaodan's fingers, Gu Fengchun also discovered that the priest with a distinctive mask was holding a scepter. The scepter seemed to be made of bronze, and was covered with a thin layer of gold foil and engraved.
There were thin patterns on it. When Gu Fengchun took a closer look, he actually recognized the pattern. It looked like the branches and leaves of jianmu. It seemed that people in this tribe did not treat jianmu as a sacred object. And the scepter
At the top, there is a crystal head. This crystal head reflects the brilliance in the sun. When it is seen, it makes people feel confused. From the dark eyes, Gu Fengchun clearly knows that this crystal head
It's the one in his backpack. I really didn't expect that many years ago, this mysterious crystal head was actually something on a scepter. The two of them were standing in the wrong position just now, and because the priests were so tall and tall, they were so big.
It was a scepter, but the two of them didn't see it clearly.
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "Yes, and this crystal head is still the one in my backpack. I didn't expect it to be so charming when it was in the scepter. It seems that I have to look hard to see if I can find it.
Scepter." After saying this, Gu Fengchun suddenly became silent and had an extremely strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong, Feng Chun?" Luo Xiaodan couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Feng Chun's expression was so strange.
"I think I know where the scepter is." Gu Fengchun said with a wry smile.
"Oh?" Luo Xiaodan was very surprised.
"In the Sanxingdui Museum, a scepter was unearthed there, but it was just a layer of gold foil on the outside, and the bronze rod inside has not yet been discovered." Gu Fengchun explained. In his impression, he remembered that the Sanxingdui Museum had such a scepter in its collection.
A piece of gold foil called a scepter. Unfortunately, when he went to the Sanxingdui Museum for inspection, he did not see the scepter, because as one of the treasures of the Sanxingdui Museum, it has been taken to various places for exhibitions around the world.
Already.
"It's not bad to find this bronze pole!" Luo Xiaodan said immediately when he saw that he was very interested in the scepter and didn't want to make Gu Fengchun feel depressed.
Gu Fengchun didn't know why. Ever since Luo Xiaodan told him about the scepter, he had been fascinated by it. He had never felt this way before. As an archaeological expert who is infinitely enthusiastic about antiques, Gu Fengchun actually had a passion for possessing it.
He doesn't have much desire to possess these rare cultural relics. What he is passionate about is the stories behind the cultural relics. He doesn't care much about the value or price of the cultural relics themselves. But this scepter is an exception. He himself can't figure out why.
Suddenly I had such a strong desire for this scepter.
Gu Fengchun patted his head with his hand to calm down and think about what happened.
Luo Xiaodan felt a little relieved when she saw that there was no live sacrifice incident as mentioned by Gu Fengchun. However, she felt a little uneasy when she saw these ten people surrounding the blood-stained white jade altar.
