Chapter 459: Look at each other!

He Zilong had been standing in front of several wooden carvings with hideous expressions for a long time.

The indigenous people believe in the gods of heaven, totems. It is not difficult to understand that this is the case in human history, and this large wood sculpture in front of them is one of the gods they believe in. It's just that it looks a little weird, like a variety of animals put together and put together to form a kind of appearance.

But if you look closely, you can see that the other forms are only secondary, and the main form is a form similar to a dinosaur. Especially that giant dinosaur tail!

Totem worship is one of the earliest religious belief phenomena in human primitive society. The ancestors of mankind believed that each nation had a kinship or other special relationship with certain animals, plants or inanimate things, which were the totems, worship objects and symbols of the people.

In the history of the development of the Chinese nation, dragons, phoenixes, snakes, deer, birds, tigers, unicorns and other animals have been used as totem worship objects. This long-standing folk custom is accumulated in Zhengning sachets, giving Zhengning sachets a long history and profound cultural color.

Primitive man has a very important content in nature worship, that is, the worship of animals. Animals are both dependent on people, but also fearful, and more fearful, so they worship animals as gods.

The most powerful animal here is the dinosaur, so the people here regard the dinosaur as one of the totems and gods of faith, and also say the past.

Among the several large wood carvings here, there are two that attract He Zilong's attention the most, and one is like a flying dragon in the West. One is like a standing oriental dragon, could it be that there is something in this underground world that is connected to the faith on the ground?

Dragons are creatures, dinosaurs are just that, it is possible to become a flying dragon in the Western world, a real dragon in the Eastern world, and the primitive people in this underground world have also seen and believed. If there is no physical object, it can't be that the two sides haven't met at all, and people from both worlds have the same beliefs, which is too much of a coincidence, right?

"According to the record on the skin of the eldest prince, there is this kind of flying dragon temple in it, and it is called a holy beast...... It's incredible that there are physical objects to be found. And where can Sakura be related to the temple, can she call them a saint, and welcome them back?" He Zilong stood in front of the wood carving for a long time.

Turning his eyes to look at the three rabbit beast girls who were following behind, He Zilong suddenly felt that he might be confused.

"Xiaohong, is there such a flying dragon in your world......" He Zilong asked Xiaohong, the rabbit girl, pointing to the wood carving.

"Yes......" Xiaohong nodded seriously.

"Oh, let's talk about it carefully, what kind of thing it looks like, what kind of ability do you have, can you breathe fire, how big is it......" He Zilong's eyes lit up, and he asked Xiaohong a little impatiently. Both sides grabbed her hard and shook it!

"Master, you don't have to be so excited, I'll tell you ......" Xiaohong struggled with a crying and laughing expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you said ......" He Zilong felt as if he was acting a little out of shape.

"Well, in our area of the underworld, there is a huge red dragon, we all call it the ancient dragon, it can fly and fly very fast, it can breathe fire, and the fire that spews out can even burn rocks, and it lives at the root of the largest volcano, which is said to be directly connected to the outside world......" Little Red began to describe in earnest.

According to her, in the other underground world over there, there is only one real wyvern, and the others are all descendants of this dragon, but there are not many of them, at most they can only be called wurm.

Because it is the offspring of this wyvern and other dinosaurs, the bloodline is not pure, and there are not many who can fly.

The dragon usually slept in the depths of the volcanic cavern, waking up randomly once every few decades. Every time it wakes up, it means a great catastrophe, because it will go hungry and eat animals everywhere, including people. After eating enough and being active for a few years, I will find a time to continue to sleep.

"You don't have any warriors over there to slay dragons......" After reading too many fairy tales, there are warriors who challenge the dragon, and He Zilong asked very instinctively.

"Yes, but every warrior who enters the Fire Dragon Cave, whether it is a single or a group, has never come out alive. Over time, everyone seemed to decide that the dragon was invincible. Even challenging it to wake it up will increase the number of disasters. Everyone seems to have resigned themselves to their fate, so they all let it be, anyway, it wakes up, as long as it hides everywhere and lives carefully for a few years, it will sleep for decades......" Xiaohong's sister Xiaotu replied first.

"I see......" He Zilong nodded.

"Actually, it's not bad, it is said that a long time ago, there was not only one real dragon on our side, but many heads, and then some of them disappeared after hearing that they passed through the living mountain pass, and I don't know why. Some people speculate that they may have gone to the terrestrial world, and it is safer than a group of dragons......" Xiaohong's sister Hitomi walked over and added.

"Oh, when did those dragons disappear......" He Zilong asked again.

"It seems like thousands of years ago, there are ancestral records......" Xiaohong replied.

He Zilong nodded, thinking to himself, it was really those underground dragons who had been to the surface world intentionally and unintentionally thousands of years ago, and had retained various legends.

About the dragon, in the hearts of the Orientals, the first to appear, is always the image of the five-clawed golden dragon shuttling through the clouds and mist in the mountains, turning over the hands for the clouds, covering the hands for the rain, is a symbol of auspiciousness, but in the hearts of Westerners, most of the Western dragons are born with disasters, not auspicious, but on behalf of the image of the devil.

In history, there are different opinions about the origin of the Eastern Dragon and the Western Dragon, each with its own opinion, but because the ancient civilization in history is too long away from now, no one can say whether there was a civilization related to the origin of the dragon before these ancient civilizations, so it has been impossible to determine a final conclusion.

Smith believes that the Eastern dragon and the Western dragon have a common origin, that is, the ancient dragon in the ancient Babylonian civilization, the evidence is that the ancient Babylonian civilization built a city gate in the historical interval from 606 BC to 562 BC, that is, the "Ishtar Gate!"

It's just that such a statement is obviously not valid, China was still before the Han Dynasty, and even before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and those ancient tribes already had a precedent of using "dragon" as a totem!

"When I was in the underworld, I also heard some dragon stories, the Chinese dragon should be considered a god race, while the western dragon does not have any priesthood in the underworld, which can only show one point, it is an animal, even the IQ is barely civilized, it is impossible to cultivate into a god. It is still a kind of ...... among the mortal animals," touched his chin, He Zilong thought to himself.
