Chapter 265: Civilization Relics, Historical Mysteries
"Slaughter a cow and offer it to the heaven?"
Seeing Yun Xiaomei so shocked, Chen Jue also recalled some customs and habits of the Dulong people.
The Dulong people are known as the ancient people, and have retained relatively primitive customs to this day.
In addition to the seven-color striped clothing that symbolizes a woven rainbow, the Dulong ethnic group also has a unique sacrificial ritual of slaughtering a cow to offer sacrifice to the sky. It is a way of expressing respect for the gods in heaven and praying for good weather, peace and a good harvest.
Just like what those “people” in this mural do!
However, the cow that the people in the mural were robbing was not a kind of cattle on Earth, but a Kuiniu that was covered in lightning and stood on one foot.
In addition, the seven-color halo wrapped around the people in the painting is not the physical rainbow costumes of the Dulong people, but a layer of light cover like the rainbow light of the soul.
Under the protection of that layer of light shield, the lightning triggered by Kuiniu could not harm them.
Looking at the contents depicted on the mural, Yun Xiaomei couldn't help herself for a long time. It felt like she was tracing back to her ancient bloodline.
"Brother Chen Jue, do you think they are the ancestors of our Dulong people?" Yun Xiaomei asked in a low voice, carefully touching the mural.
"Even if they are not ancestors, there should be a close relationship between us... But there are too many Kuiniu in this painting... I counted them and there are about seventy of them..."
"And they don't seem to be performing a simple sacrifice. Look here... it seems like they are making drums with the skin of a Kui cow!" Chen Jue pointed to a corner of the mural.
"The Emperor attacked Chiyou, and Xuannv made eighty Kui Niu drums for him... Chiyou had a bronze head and ate stones, flying through the air and taking risks. He was beaten nine times with drums made of Kui Niu skin, but he could not fly away, so he was killed..."
"Brother Chen Jue, this is the scene !" Little Sister Yun looked at the pattern that Chen Jue pointed to, and she first murmured softly, and then exclaimed.
Chen Jue was also shocked when he heard this. He looked from this mural to the next mural on the other side and saw that it was indeed a scene of two armies confronting each other.
In particular, a group of tall, horned humanoid creatures occupy a quarter of the mural.
However, after encountering the thunder and lightning caused by the Kuiniu drum, these armies suspected to be the eighty-one brothers of Chiyou could no longer fly or hide in the ground, and were eventually wiped out by another army.
"The skin of Kuiniu is an extraordinary organ. If its skin is made into a leather drum, it can indeed release lightning if stimulated properly, and it can indeed paralyze people." Chen Jue sighed in his heart as he looked at the mural of the battle between two armies, and carefully looked at the details in the mural.
He discovered that the army on Huangdi's side was covered in colorful light, and had the ability to call the wind and rain, while the army of Chiyou on the other side was rough and strong, and was dotted with red light.
"One side focuses on the spiritual energy to control the natural forces... and the other side is pure physical training, using mainly energy similar to the martial arts qi?" Chen Jue analyzed upon seeing this.
At this time, Yun Xiaomei walked along the hall of the stone chamber towards the mural on the other side, and finally stood in front of a strange figure with two human bodies and snake tails.
"A human body with a snake tail... Brother Chen Jue, these two seem to be the gods Nuwa and Fuxi !" Little Sister Yun said, pointing at the mural in front of her.
Chen Jue looked around curiously. The secrets hidden in this stone chamber were more shocking than the other. Even the ancient scene of the Yellow Emperor's battle with Chi You was reproduced. Seeing Nuwa and Fuxi again, Chen Jue's mood quickly calmed down.
However, after looking at the murals of these two ancient gods, Chen Jue was surprised to find that there was a seven-colored gem similar to the third eye between their eyebrows.
In addition, the snake tails below their waists were entwined with each other, with seven-colored lights lingering on their tails, which clearly showed that they had cultivated their spiritual energy to an extremely high level.
"Fuxi and Nuwa opened their eyes, and their feet became deformed into snake tails?"
"Is it the instability during the evolution process? Is it the deformation of the body?"
"Or is it that their original race is a human with a snake tail?"
"Are they all aliens?" Chen Jue guessed while continuing to read along the mural.
The content of the subsequent murals took a sudden turn from the peaceful life scenes of Fuxi creating the world and Nuwa nurturing descendants. Suddenly, a man with a human head and a snake body appeared in the murals.
The man had red hair and was having a dispute with a little man wrapped in seven-colored light. One of them crashed into a giant pillar supporting the sky and earth, causing a huge natural disaster, while the other seven-colored man cut down a giant tree.
Then the three adjacent stars in the mural shifted relative to each other due to the collapse and breakage of the giant pillars and trees in the middle. Two small stars collided with each other, causing a natural disaster with huge explosive force.
The sky cracked open, a huge flood fell from the sky, and ten fireballs fell from the sky like a natural disaster, causing chaos in everything in the world described in the mural.
In the end, it was a giant dragon radiating light and heat that dissipated the flood. Then it was Nuwa, the woman with a human body and a snake tail, who repaired the sky with five-colored stones and melted the two colliding planets into the moon.
They also found a giant turtle from the sea, cut off its feet and used them to establish the four poles, thus making the mural world stable.
The amount of information in these serial murals is so huge that both Chen Jue and Yun Xiaomei stood still in front of the murals for a long time.
"Gonggong and Zhuanxu were fighting for the throne. In anger, Gonggong struck Mount Buzhou, breaking the pillars of heaven and destroying the earth."
"Zhuanxu ordered Chongli to cut down Jianmu, and that's how the Jedi-to-Heaven connection was created!"
"The three realms of heaven, earth and man in mythology and legends, do they refer to these three planets?" Chen Jue murmured.
"Brother Chen Jue, the goddess Nuwa in the mural refined five-colored stones to repair the sky. The five-colored stones should be the spiritual crystallization in the Bai Ze Cave?" asked Yun Xiaomei.
"The crystals of the mind are seven colors. This five-colored stone is most likely the crystallization of spiritual energy, which contains both spiritual energy and innate qi. It is very likely a combination of the two energies, but we haven't found it yet." Chen Jue said after pondering for a moment.
"What about these three planets?"
"This one should be the earth...the other two small ones are the two moons?" Yun Xiaomei asked curiously again.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jue recalled the academic speculations about the formation of the moon that he had discussed with several astronauts in the space station when he first launched into space. He then pointed to the two smaller stars in the mural and said, "There is currently an impact hypothesis in the scientific community. The one that is closer to the earth should be the early moon. Another small planet collided with the moon at that time, causing them to merge and form the two-sided nature of the moon."
"So that's how it is! The goddess Nuwa repaired the sky by patching up the moon and another asteroid together..." Yun Xiaomei muttered, her eyes full of shock.
"Nuwa repaired the sky... used five-colored stones to repair the natural disaster caused by the collision of two stars... it was equivalent to merging the heaven and the earth, forming the moon on the front and the alien planet on the back... what an amazing power... what level did the ancient civilization of this alien planet reach?" Chen Jue also widened his eyes when he listened to Yun Xiaomei's words, and his heart was also filled with emotion.
Looking at the scene in the mural of Gonggong crashing into Mount Buzhou again, he discovered that Gonggong did not use his body to crash into the pillar of Mount Buzhou, but used a flood to summon ten fireballs similar to the sun to fall into Mount Buzhou.
"Gong Gong boasted that he walked ten suns , and the four seasons were out of order... The place where the ten suns fell... is actually the area of this desert..."
"I can't be wrong! These ten fireballs are clearly similar to the explosion of a nuclear weapon, otherwise how could there be such an excessive radiation dose in this desert!"
"Only a nuclear explosion like this can sever the passage connecting the two planets."
"So, Buzhou Mountain and Jianmu are both products of civilization similar to an orbital elevator between two stars?"
"Then this giant dragon emitting light and heat should be the Zhurong in the legend who is at odds with Gonggong?"
"Zhurong's real name is Chongli, also known as the Red Emperor. He controls fire and is a descendant of Zhuanxu... He has a dragon body and a human face... Zhurong and Zhulong are actually one with many facets... Could it be that after one's physical body has been cultivated to a certain level, one can perform similar transformation techniques and transform into a giant dragon?" Chen Jue's mind was filled with sparks of thoughts.
The previous training on the brain in Bai Ze’s nest played a significant role at this moment.
Unfortunately, there are only a few murals in this stone chamber. They were obviously cast by a civilization long ago to record major events that took place on this alien planet.
There are still a few blank murals left, all of which were hastily started and the following scenes were not fully depicted.
“What a pity!”
"I only have a general idea of the civilization process of this alien planet, but I don't know where they ended up going."
"How could such an advanced civilization be lost so easily? " Chen Jue touched the exquisite murals in front of him and felt that this journey of exploration was beyond his expectations.
Just as Chen Jue and Yun Xiaomei were observing the details in the murals one by one, the stone chamber hidden in the rock fortress suddenly trembled. A large amount of dust fell from the top, suddenly waking up the two people who were immersed in the contents of the murals.
Along with it, there was a roar from Bai Ze at the entrance of the passage and the anxious cry of a little parrot.
"There's something going on outside!" When Chen Jue heard what was happening outside, he subconsciously grabbed Yun Xiaomei's hand and ran quickly with her to the outside of the staircase.
After exiting the passage and arriving outside the rock castle in bright sky, Chen Jue sensed a familiar burning breath.
It was a huge bird with a wingspan of nearly a hundred meters. It was completely red, and there seemed to be red flames rising all over its body. At this moment, it was landing above the rock fortress and confronting Bai Ze.
In the claws of this giant red bird was holding the unfortunate little parrot, which was whispering to Bai Ze, as if telling him something.
"It's the Suzaku from before!"
"Why is it holding the parrot?"
