After studying the pattern on the tortoise shell for half an hour, Lin Shu finally couldn't figure out what this omen meant.

He really admires those archaeologists now - so when they first discovered the murals in the cave, how did they understand the meaning of those murals?

​Theoretically speaking, those murals should be more abstract than what I see now, right?

You can’t do it on your own...

Looking for someone to ask?

How about finding Lingfeng? When I chatted with her before, I felt that she seemed to have a rather complicated education.

Even if she doesn’t understand, maybe you can ask her to ask the people around her.

However, just a picture on a tortoise shell is not enough.

Lin Shu plans to depict all the scenes he saw in the "hallucination" in the same style to form a coherent scene.

Taking out a pen and paper, Lin Shu carefully recalled what he saw at that time.

Crowded crowds, narrow, uphill roads, flying snowflakes, rain-like lines, white light running through the entire scene...

Having always done video work, it was not difficult for Lin Shu to draw a few storyboards.

After finishing all the paintings, he took a photo of the hand-painted patterns and then sent a message to the blogger.

"Teacher, I still need to trouble you~"

"I found several pictures in the interviewee's hometown. It is said that they copied them from the murals in a cave."

"I would like to ask you what these pictures might mean?"

“[Picture][Picture][Picture]”

After sending the message, Lin Shu sent another red envelope as usual, but this time, the other party did not receive it.

“If you look at it simply this way, the symbolic meaning of this picture is quite clear.”

"The picture depicts a scene similar to a sacrifice. You see, there are a large number of people gathered in the picture. Everyone is walking up. Generally speaking, walking up is a sacrifice, offering sacrifices to gods."

"Those dots should be snowflakes and rain, which are depictions of the environment during sacrifices. They may refer to disasters and are also the purpose of sacrifices."

"The thick line in the last picture is the one that hits the villain. It most likely represents a natural punishment such as 'lightning'."

"It should be like this when lightning strikes the sacrifice and takes away the sacrifice's life."

"This is a relatively typical chronicle mural. Where did you see it?"

Lightning?

Sacrifice?

Life and death...

Lin Shu was not in a hurry to reply to the blogger’s question.

His mind was filled with questions.

First of all, what can be determined is that the "turtle divination" ritual provided by Xu Changshun should be effective, because he did see the vision.

Based on this premise, whether it is the illusion you see or the texture presented on the tortoise shell, it should have a specific reference in reality and be related to you.

So here comes the question - how could I participate in a sacrifice?

In this sacrifice, who among the crowd are you?

Or should I say...

Are you one of the three sacrifices??

This seems to be the most likely possibility!

No, what I saw was my... death date?

Lin Shu shivered, as if a cold wind was pouring directly into his brain from his Tianling Gai.

But soon, he regained his composure.

​​ ----Even if these two rituals are real and effective, the visions you see may not be true.

Interpretations may be wrong, and your memory may not be accurate.

As for "dying because of sacrifice", that is even more ridiculous.

Anyway, I won’t participate in such weird activities.

In short, if signs appear, you can be more cautious, but you must not give up eating because of choking.

How did you say that?
