Chapter 38: Rusty Life Is Grey
"It's quite realistic...... Is it a record of history? Brother Shui, what do these words mean?"
Ye Zheng was looking at a nearby relief at this time, the palace wall was nearly twenty meters high, and the relief on it was also very huge, leaving a lot of room for the relief craftsman to play, so the whole relief was painted vividly, and the expressions of the characters were clearly visible.
The first one depicts the prostrate of all the people, a man with a hideous ghost face and a high-crowned costume descending from the sky, as if he was pouring something on the people, and behind him was the epitome of the imperial palace behind the palace wall.
And above the whole relief, there are several lines of crooked text engraved that seem to explain the meaning of this relief.
"I can't read it, I've never seen this kind of text......" Rust Red took out his phone and clicked! ”
Rust Red looked at the painting carefully, and said: "Carved on the palace wall in the form of relief, it is generally to promote great achievements to passers-by, the length of the palace wall is limited, and some key events will definitely be picked, this is probably an event that records blessings or something, let's take a look at the existence of this dare to call himself the emperor of heaven, what earth-shattering things have he done......"
There were many reliefs on both sides of the position of the three of them, but in order to walk towards the palace gate where Chi Huan and Sheng Fengnian were rushing, the three of them directly chose to move along the left hand side.
"This is the horse you saw outside, right?" asked Bai Xiao in front of the second relief.
Ye Zheng and Shui Ruhong nodded at the same time.
On this relief, the hideous ghost-faced man rides the tiger-striped steed with its tail burning like a flame, riding on the far left side of the relief, and the monstrous flames extending from the tail of the tiger-striped steed cover a large area on the right, and in the flames is a tragic battlefield of ruins and broken walls, broken halberds and sinking sand, in which countless people wail.
"If this is the Emperor's Palace, what is recorded must be the great achievements of the Emperor of Heaven, then this person must be the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Rust Red raised the silver spear and nodded at the horserider with a hideous ghost face, and at the same time, the tip of the spear slashed to the right, cutting across the battlefield burned by the horse's tail flames, "This horse is one of the four strange beasts outside, obviously fire, it is estimated that it is the private car of the Emperor of Heaven, and it is suppressing rebellions or conquering enemy countries." ”
Rust Red photographed the entire relief as usual, and the three of them looked at it for a while, and then continued to walk forward.
These reliefs are so vivid that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are skillfully depicted, and if they are placed in the world, they will surely cause a sensation all over the world.
Looking at the past along the way, some are worshipping the heavens, some are fighting, some are issuing decrees, and so on.
The protagonists are all the emperors wearing hideous ghost faces, with angry eyes, cold fangs, two ghost horns towering high, with the vermilion palace wall and the black and white of the relief, which looks quite weird.
"Did you find a problem?" Rust Red suddenly asked after taking a picture of a relief.
"What's the problem?" Ye Zheng didn't know what he meant.
Rust Red pointed at the hideous ghost-faced figure of the Emperor of Heaven with the tip of his spear, and this relief depicts the Emperor receiving the pilgrimage of his courtiers in turn.
"Isn't it a problem that the protagonist of all the reliefs is the Emperor of Heaven?"
Bai Qiqi said: "Is there any problem? This is the Imperial Palace, isn't it natural for the Emperor of Heaven to be the protagonist?"
"Of course, it's a matter of course, but for example, fighting, sacrificing to the heavens, or something, doesn't the Emperor of Heaven alone feel a little weak?"
Shui Rust Hong frowned, "Isn't that one named Yu Zhou one of the six kings under the Heavenly Emperor's throne?" It sounds like such a bull's name, it stands to reason that if the Heavenly Emperor is portrayed as the commander of the six kings to go out to worship the heavens, it will obviously be more powerful, and the composition of the whole relief will be fuller, right?"
Bai Xiao recalled the reliefs he saw earlier, compared them with the imaginary six kings, and subconsciously responded: "What you said seems to be true." ”
"I don't think that's a problem. Ye Zheng suddenly spoke up and vetoed Rust Red's question.
"What do you think Brother Ye has?"
Ye Zheng replied: "It's not a high opinion, it's just my guess, the Emperor of Heaven is the existence of the emperor in the cultivation realm, not the emperor recorded in secular history, if the Emperor of Heaven just wants to create the image of an omnipotent god and promote the supreme power, it is definitely more reasonable to appear alone, and it is not good to have more six kings and distract the people." ”
"Are you saying that the Emperor of Heaven may be so happy with his achievements that he likes to take all his achievements on himself, so that his subjects can have god-like beliefs?"
Ye Zheng nodded.
Rusty Red pondered for a moment and said: "There is a little truth, but I always feel that the reason is not very sufficient, and there will be a foil with the six kings, which seems more awesome, isn't it?"
Ye Zheng snorted: "It's just speculation, in fact, I have another reason, it's quite reasonable to think about it......"
"Tell me about it. "Rust Red Road.
Ye Zheng looked mysterious and secretive, and whispered: "You say, will the Emperor of Heaven not be good-looking...... To be exact, ugly and shriveled?"
"Ha ???" Rust Red and White looked at each other, confused at the same time.
"Don't believe it, haven't you seen the Emperor of Heaven appear wearing a mask? Look at his figure again, is his skeleton relatively small and quite thin?" Ye Zheng pointed his silver spear at the Emperor of Heaven and asked continuously.
The two of them looked at it carefully, and if the figures in the relief painting were completely realistic, the figure of the Emperor of Heaven was indeed relatively thin.
Seeing that the two didn't question, Ye Zheng said proudly: "Maybe it's because the Emperor of Heaven is ugly and shriveled, so he only dares to wear a mask to show people, if the six kings are added behind, if any of the six kings is particularly handsome, it's easy to steal the show, right?"
Rust Red: "......"
Bai Xiao: "......"
Compared with the previous reason for creating the image of the gods, the reason why the Emperor of Heaven is ugly and shriveled is obviously more reasonable, and he also explains why he wears a mask in passing......
Rusty Red gave a thumbs up: "Brother Ye Niu Pi, I agree with your point of view!"
Bai Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "There is another possibility of wearing a mask, right? Could the Emperor of Heaven be afraid that he is too handsome to deter the enemy army when fighting?"
Ye Zheng patted Bai Xiao's head with a silver spear, hating iron and steel: "You Lanling King see too much, hey! Not every relief is fighting, since he is handsome, what kind of mask do you wear for other activities?"
"Let me ask you, if the Emperor of Heaven is really handsome, and you have to like an omnipotent Emperor, then do you like the handsome Emperor of Heaven, or do you always use a ghost face to cover up your Emperor of Heaven?"
"I like handsome...... I'm straight!" Bai Xiao reined in from the precipice and was almost tricked into by Ye Zheng's routine.
Ye Zheng smiled: "So the Emperor of Heaven can't be very handsome, of course, he doesn't have to be ugly, he may just look ordinary, plus his body is relatively shriveled, he doesn't have much majesty, and he doesn't want the six kings to press down, so he will appear alone and show people with a ghost face." ”
"Uh-huh. In order to avoid being tricked again, Bai Xiao hurriedly agreed with his guess.
"This ...... Is it to subdue that turtle-like beast?" When the two were discussing whether the Heavenly Emperor was handsome or not, Rusty Red's gaze had already shifted to the next relief.
On this relief, the Emperor of Heaven in the upper left corner holds a thunder and lightning spear, and the wind and clouds change color, attracting the mighty heaven, while the lower right corner is a strange beast with a bird's head and claws but a turtle shell on its back, which is one of the four stone sculptures of strange beasts.
The strange beast floated on the surface of the sea, and was roaring loudly, the waves were raging, and the two faced each other to the death, and the battle was about to break out.
Since the turtle beast is now attached to the Emperor of Heaven, and even turned into a stone sculpture to protect this place, this relief must depict the event of the Emperor of Heaven surrendering the beast.
Looking further, the next three depictions depict the other three alien beasts outside confronting the Emperor of Heaven, confronting the nine-tailed antelope in the rolling mountains, confronting the fire-tailed steed during the lava eruption, and confronting the one-horned leopard with long beards in the snowstorm of the ice field.
"I feel like I'm going to be a fan of the Heavenly Emperor......" Rusty Red swallowed his saliva, "Those strange beasts are obviously spirit beasts born with the will of heaven and earth, and it is already a supreme chance to meet one, and the Heavenly Emperor actually surrendered a full four...... I really want to buy one with him. ”
Bai Xiao: "......"
Ye Zheng: "......"
Without saying the last invisible sentence, we can still be friends.
"Those four strange beasts are still alive, you go and mention them to Yu Zhou yourself, and see if he is willing to make a decision for the Emperor of Heaven and sell them to you. "Ye Zheng didn't have a good airway.
Rust Red's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "I don't want to look for a dead ......"
"Wait......" Rust Red suddenly became excited, "Brother Ye, you said that those four strange beasts are still alive?!"
"Yes, what Yu Zhou told me before should have turned into the four stone sculptures we saw. Ye Zheng replied.
Yu Zhou's proud status as a martial king, it is unlikely that he will lie to a little Mengxin, coupled with the faint sense of the demon bone before, there is at least a seventy percent chance that the four strange beasts are still alive.
Rust Hong's face turned slightly pale: "It's miserable, if that's the case, Uncle Mu and they will be ......"
Ye Zheng was taken aback, and immediately understood the meaning of rust red.
The four strange beasts are the same existence as the mocking wind, when the demon bones were subdued, the big demon dog mocking the wind pierced the sky with one claw, killing countless enemies The scene is vivid, and the combat effectiveness can be called terrifying, if the Mudao people and their rescue come to the rescue, there is an unfathomable Yu Zhou is already difficult to entangle, and then face these four strange beasts guarding this place......
Ye Zheng unconsciously shuddered, and the basket stabbed by the golden hoop stick was inevitably too big.
"Don't worry, that's the big guy's business, our little Mengxin plays our own. Ye Zheng comforted.
There were tall men on top of the sky when the sky fell, and it was not their turn to worry about these short men.
Rust Hong sighed, having said that, after all, Mu Dao Man is a pillar of Tai Micro, if something happens to him, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Tai Micro.
What if it is too microscopic and thus declines? In the future, won't the expenses for activities every time you go out be reduced, and the charms can only be pinched and sprinkled one by one?
Thinking about it, the rusty red life suddenly turned gray......
