Chapter 338: Nuwa Mends the Heavens
When Liu Long came to the location of one by one, he couldn't help but be stunned by the mural in front of him, because it was not anything else, but the myth and legend of Nuwa mending the sky.
After Pangu opened the world and had all living beings, I don't know which year, the western sky suddenly collapsed, and the water in the heavenly river flowed down from the gap to the world, drowning countless people and animals, and the world suddenly became a Zeguo.
At that time, there was a girl named Nuwa, who lived in a cave in a mountain cliff that could not be flooded by any great water, and she saw the people being displaced, so she was moved by compassion and vowed to fill the gap in the sky.
She left the cave where she lived, climbed countless mountains, flowed through many great rivers, and tried everywhere to make up for the heavens, but to no avail.
She was so tired that she sat down to rest, and fell asleep unconsciously, and she had a very strange dream, in which a fairy told her that there were many five-colored gems on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and that if the gems were refined by fire, they could be used to mend the sky.
After Nuwa woke up, she went straight to Kunlun Mountain, which was towering and steep, and there were countless lions, tigers, and beasts.
But she wholeheartedly wanted to find the gem to make up for the sky as soon as possible to eliminate disasters for the people of the world, although the road was rugged and treacherous, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, day and night, and finally came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
However, when she looked up, there were saw-like thorns and dog-toothed rocks everywhere, not only there was no way up the mountain, but the top of the mountain was higher and unclimbable, but she was not afraid of danger, she set aside the thorns, climbed over the rocks, her hands and feet were scarred, her face was also scratched, and she still climbed up day and night, and just when she was tired of climbing, a tiger suddenly pounced out of the thorn bushes, and danced its teeth and claws at her.
Nuwa was about to dodge, but the tiger grabbed her first, opened its bloody mouth, and wanted to bite her head.
She said calmly, "Tiger, don't be anxious first, I can give you this head to eat, but I have to wait until I go to the top of the mountain to find the gem and make up the gap in the sky, can you come and eat it again?"
The tiger seemed to know what people wanted, so he let her go, and Nuwa went up again, the mountain became steeper and steeper, and the fog became thicker and thicker, and she was too tired to walk.
She stumbled, crawled and rolled, never stopped, suddenly a gust of wind blew, a golden lion jumped out of the forest, bit Nuwa's hair, then the tiger caught up from behind, roared at the lion and said, "I caught this girl first, and said that she would let me eat it after she made up for it, how dare you take the lead?"
When the lion heard this, he put down Nuwa and fought with the tiger, but the lion was defeated and was driven away by the tiger, but the tiger was afraid that Nuwa would let the lion snatch it again, so he followed Nuwa and followed her to the top of the mountain.
Nuwa finally found the five-colored gems on the top of the mountain, she picked up many of them, piled them on the top of the mountain, and according to the instructions in the dream, lit a fire, and refined them for nine hundred and eighty-one days, refining the gems into molten pulp.
Seeing that the molten slurry was melted, Nuwa was very happy, and she picked up the molten slurry with both hands again and again and took it to mend the sky, until the gap in the sky did not leak, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the people on earth saw that the water of the Tianhe River was no longer leaking, and they reorganized their homes one after another and lived happily.
Knowing that she had done everything she had done, Nuwa was ready to fulfill her promise and said to the tiger with joy, "You can eat me now." β
After speaking, she stretched her neck and waited for the tiger to eat, and said strangely, the tiger did not eat him, but said kindly, "How can I eat a girl like you who has benefited the people and sacrificed herself for the sake of others, besides, you have made up the heavens intact, and I am happy to see it, but you still have leftover molten slurry, don't you make up more for it?"
When Nuwa heard this, she felt that the tiger's words made sense, so she picked up all the remaining molten slurry, raised her hands high, and prepared to fill the gap, and saw that it was about to reach the zenith, but suddenly a strong wind blew from the South China Sea, blowing the trees and shaking the mountains, and the molten slurry that Nuwa was holding in her hands also blew away.
When Nuwa was in a hurry, she began to cry, and when the tiger saw her like this, he said to her, "Girl, don't cry yet, get on my back, and we'll go and chase the molten back." β
Nuwa stopped her tears and immediately rode onto the tiger's back, and the tiger jumped off the cliff, stepped on the colorful clouds, and chased after the dazzling molten lava.
The tiger carried Nuwa on his back and flew over the three mountains and five mountains, and flew over the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, because the wind was too urgent, and never caught up, and then the wind gradually subsided, and they quickened their pace, but they knew that the colorful molten slurry slowly fell to the vast earth, so they chased with all their might, chased to the sky above Dongting Lake, and saw that they were about to catch up, the tiger was happy for a while, roared several times, and slowed down.
At this moment of lightning, Nuwa didn't have time to pick up the molten slurry, and watched the molten slurry go straight into the lagoon.
As soon as the molten slurry falls into the lake, it is colorful and colorful, and the glow shines brightly, and soon the molten slurry becomes seventy-two peaks of different shapes, half sinking and half floating in the water, adding a charming scenery to the Dongting Lake like a white jade plate.
Although Nuwa regretted it, but felt that it was a good thing that the molten slurry fell into the world, she fell, stood on the mountain peak that had not yet solidified, stepped on the emerald-like molten slurry, and left a pair of deep footprints.
The mural ends here, and it can be said that it completely narrates the entire process of NΓΌwa's mending the sky.
"Young master, do you think it's strange how there is a mural of Nuwa mending the sky here for no reason. Although Yiyi is artificial intelligence, he knows no less about Chinese myths and legends than Liu Long, so he told the doubts in his heart.
"Didn't you hear that the artificial intelligence just now spoke ancient Chinese, since it is a Chinese language, so what's strange about the Chinese mythology here. β
Obviously, Liu Long didn't care, after all, there was ancient Chinese in front of him, and he had already decided that this place was inextricably linked with the ancient Huaguo.
"However, the original mural was hidden, and it was only when I accidentally touched the mechanism that it became apparent. One by one, he pointed to the mechanism on the wall.
"Hidden?"
After all, in addition to the role of recording facts, the mural is for people to enjoy, but now that he is hidden, it is no wonder that Liu Long is puzzled.
"Yes, you see. β
One by one, I touched the mechanism again, and then the original Nuwa Mending Heaven Diagram miraculously disappeared under my nose.
"Is there a secret we don't know? β
Liu Long muttered to himself, then touched the mechanism again, and looked at the mural carefully.
"Nothing special. β
Liu Long didn't understand, not to say how the mural disappeared, but to say that he hid the mural for no reason, and there must be a secret in it that he didn't know.
And the biggest charm of this underwater city is his secret, so Liu Long is full of expectations for the next exploration.
