"If you just look at the petroglyphs, I don't see any mystery. However, through some of the legends and stories that have been passed down from generation to generation of our Durenque tribe, I can guess some general meaning. ”

The cuckoo said, pointing to the patterns drawn at the beginning, and said, "The first few sets of pictures should tell the scenes of the ancestors of the Gusi tribe.

You see these mountains, snowflakes, penguins, bears, reindeer and other animals that live in the cold snowfield.

Next, the animal, which looked like a large loach, but had four claws and antlers on its head, was probably the demon in the document. It fell from the sky and pounced into the crowd, which was running in all directions in panic.

Looking at the next few sets of pictures, these people should have fled to the current place, and behind them, the demonic monster was still chasing after them.

A few of them turned around, still holding sticks, bows and arrows, and other weapons, as if they were going to fight the demon to the death. ”

The cuckoo pointed to a pattern with his finger as he spoke, and said: "Look at this person, the body drawn is obviously several times larger than the others, and the animal riding under him is not a bit like a Siberian tiger! With this sun on his head, a big snake in his left hand, and a fork in his right hand, he has a mighty and fierce demeanor, could he be a great ancestral god?"

When Ling Zikai copied these patterns, he didn't have the heart to ponder the meaning of the patterns themselves. At this time, after seeing the pattern that the cuckoo said, looking at the snake catcher riding on the back of the tiger, a kind feeling arose inexplicably in my heart, and I subconsciously really felt that I had a trace of involvement with the person in the painting.

Is this the ancestral god of the mountain who gave his inheritance?

What kind of being is he?

Is it the kind of immortal with boundless power in mythological stories, or does it belong to a mysterious giant clan like the Titans?

Judging from the proportions of these patterns, his body is indeed much taller, is it the exaggerated technique used by those who painted him to highlight his heroic image, or is it originally like this?

While Ling Zikai was pondering, the cuckoo continued: "Look at the next set of patterns, the demonic monster was trampled under the feet of this giant, and the others were bowing to him. It seems that this giant is the ancestral god who saved all beings!"

By this point, the cuckoo had already finished half of the patterns.

Ling Zikai asked, "What do the remaining patterns mean?"

The cuckoo paused, looked at the remaining patterns with a somewhat complicated gaze, and said slowly: "The rest of these should be the lives of the ancestors of the Gusi tribe after they moved here.

If you look at this set of patterns, it should be the location of the Gusi tribe at that time.

Some of these people are carrying fish in their hands, some are carrying wild beasts on their shoulders, some are dancing, and some are building rako out of trees.

It is not difficult to imagine that there was a vast expanse of primeval jungle here.

Countless wild animals are running inside.

The ancestors of the Gusi tribe hunted in the forest, went down to the river to fish, and everyone lived in harmony and lived a life of peace and contentment.

It's a pity that this beautiful life is indeed so short-lived, and it didn't take long for a young man to come when a sudden disaster struck. ”

Ling Zikai asked, "What disaster happened later?"

"According to the legend of our Durenque people, one night, a huge fireball suddenly fell from the sky and smashed to the ground. Smashed the earth into a huge crack.

For a time, the landslide cracked.

A surging flood poured out of the cracks, flooding the entire land, and countless living beings were swallowed up by the flood.

Just when all living beings had nowhere to escape, facing annihilation, and full of despair, the great ancestral god reappeared.

In order to protect the creatures in the mountains, the ancestral god turned his body into a huge mountain range and pressed against the crack to block the flood.

All living beings are saved.

The body of the ancestral god has also become the Xing'an Ridge that stretches for thousands of miles.

In order to prevent the living beings from suffering again, his soul has always been hidden in this mountain, guarding all living beings at all times. If there is a calamity somewhere, he will place his soul in the body of some kind of living being, give him infinite power, become his own messenger, and go to the rescue. ”

Ling Zikai quietly listened to the cuckoo's narration and said, "This is the origin of the shaman, right?"

The cuckoo nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Could it be that all these things you just said are depicted in these petroglyphs?"

The cuckoo shook his head and said, "What I just said is a legend handed down from our clan, which is not depicted in these petroglyphs!

Didn't I just say that the ancestral god placed his soul on some kind of living being?

Why do I say that it is some kind of being, and not directly on someone, in other words, not on the messenger of the ancestral gods, the shaman?

Do you know why?"

Ling Zikai subconsciously asked, "What is the reason?"

The cuckoo sighed and said, "Originally, when the ancestral god incarnated into the mountain, he did place his soul on someone of the Gusi tribe.

After all, when the Ancestral God killed the demon monster and saved the Gusi people, the ancestors of the Gusi tribe swore that their children and grandchildren would follow the Ancestral God's side.

All the ancestral gods also hope that the Gusi people can become the guardians of the mountain, guarding all the creatures in the mountain.

Look at this group of petroglyphs, these people have this plate on their heads, and they are bent down and kneeling on the ground. The plate contains the head of a wild beast, which is supposed to be a scene of the Gusi people worshipping the ancestral gods.

And this person who kneels at the front of the crowd must be the shaman with the highest status in the clan.

In the beginning, the Gusi people did keep their oath and always guarded all the creatures in the mountains.

However, there is an old saying that the human heart is not ancient!

Because the soul of this ancestral god is stored in the body of the first shaman, he has a mysterious ability, which is said to be able to call the wind and rain and drive all the beasts in the forest to work for him.

By the way, this ability is probably the kind of consciousness you told me about earlier!

Now that you only have the two abilities of Ancestral God Consciousness and Ancestral God Energy, you should also clearly understand the mystery of it. At that time, the first generation of shamans had entrusted the entire inheritance of the ancestral gods, and they were many times more powerful than you know now.

Just because his ability is too great, he has attracted the prying eyes of others, and they want to take this ability from him!"
