Chapter 49: The Intersection of Myth and Modernity
"Ahh
In the confined space, the screams of pain echoed, and the behemoth screaming in the darkness was already causing an earthquake with just a slight vibration of the locked limbs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The huge figure is like a mountain, and the spreading limbs occupy the entire underground cave, and countless iron cables firmly lock it....... this "dragon" from the mythological era.
The antlers, crocodile mouth, fish scales, and snake body are the same as in mythology, but if modern people see it, they will first suspect that it is an alien creature rather than a dragon.
The six pairs of dragons are arranged in three rows, among which there are no pupils, and they shine like crystals, and the closed faces have only an arc gap at the mouth of the mouth, as if they are wearing a ball mask.
The massive body is smooth as a mirror, and the popular body is more like a sculpture made of crystals than a living being.
Although it has dragon whiskers, the tentacles on the chin are more like the tentacles of jellyfish.
There are also ribbons of light linked around it, which seem to be part of its limbs.
It has no wings, but it has holes in several nodes of its body, but it faintly reveals fire, which seems to be the organ it uses to move its body.
The "Dragon King" does not have the mythical dragon claws, but the black and white crystal ball that floats faintly in mid-air seems to be part of its limbs.
This is a behemoth creature that exudes a strange beauty, and the bizarre body structure with a little sci-fi color reminds people of the universe and rockets, perhaps, this dragon king was originally a cosmic creature.
But at this time, its appearance could not be more miserable.
Hundreds of locks were locked on its body, and golden blood continued to seep out of it, and nine bronze diamonds with strange patterns were nailed to the floor of the cavern, and they were about to be dissected into specimens by earthworms.
“…… How long will she last? Haven't you found the lost treasure yet? ”
"The longest week, the shortest ..... may completely collapse at any time, and if the 'painkiller' is delivered, the time it can last can be doubled."
The Jiangcheng Watchmen Association was founded thirty-seven years ago, but it is already the fourth president.
But the president of this generation, the veteran watchman Long Sihai, has been widely praised since taking office, but he has always felt that he is the most unlucky generation.
Now, he finally knows what the sympathetic eyes of the former president mean when he took office seven years ago when he was excited to take office, when he handed over the work.
"Damn, I'm such a bad guy, why did my tenure explode."
At this time, the location is the underground rock formation of the Jinjiang River, which is more than 120 meters below the river.
Looking back, the rows of stone steps twist and turn, the eternal fire on the wall never goes out, digging out the passage under the river with both hands, it is Long Sihai, and he will also sigh at the incredible power of his predecessors.
“…… What you said was also said by the former president. ”
"So what did he do when he encountered my situation? Let a little girl be sacrificed to death? And then again in twenty years?! ”
“…… Jiangcheng was not destroyed by the great flood of 98, which already explains her choice. Also, it wasn't just an ordinary little girl, in a sense, from the beginning, she was the offspring of the creature in front of her, though only in the soul......"
"Tsk. Do you believe this self-soothing nonsense? ”
"....... you believe me."
After a long silence, the helpless watchmen decided to return to the surface, and walked along the passage lit by the eternal fire, all the way to the frescoes, which recorded ancient myths.
In the era of coexistence of gods and men, farmers and mountain people with hoes, under the leadership of gods and demons, were expelling the flood and the demons in it.
On the other side of the water, there are gods and demons as tall as mountains, with three eyes and gods, and he is infinitely powerful, holding the mountain and throwing it into the flood.
On the other side of the troubled water, there are demon apes with giant sticks, demon soldiers and demon generals incarnated by various sea monsters, but the leader is a group of demons with human faces and snake bodies.
As I went up, the picture changed again.
In the midst of the flood and the water control was weaker than below, four dragons fell from the sky, spitting flames or taking on human form, and with the help of the dragons, the three-eyed gods defeated the water demons with human faces and snake bodies.
But the head of the escaped snake demon panicked, and smashed the pillar of heaven headlong, and boundless floods fell from the sky, turning the entire continent into an ocean.
At this time, four dragons were thrown into the flood, and the flood was suppressed by it.
The whole mural is very blurry, but the depiction of the four dragons is vivid, not the same.
Ying Long, Qinglong, White Dragon, Canglong, next to the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, are annotations of later generations, and as long as people come here, they can be recognized at a glance......
"Follow the white dragon of Dayu to control the water? It's awful....."
--------
--------
Dayu controls the water? Isn't that a mythical story?
But from another point of view, according to the current mainstream worldview of the Warden World, those arrogant gods and demons are nothing more powerful....... powerful than ordinary people can understand "foreign existences".
So, can those myths and legends of demons dancing and immortals fighting each other be regarded as the history that took place between the aliens and the awakened "Ancient Watchers" five or six thousand years ago?
The oldest human history probably does not exceed 7,000 years, which may be a long time ago among ancient humans with an average lifespan of less than 50 years.
However, if the entire universe and galaxies are taken as the background, and the rise and fall of stars are the unit of measurement, 10,000 years is nothing, and the history of this planet as a whole, the history of this generation of mankind has just begun, and I am afraid that less than one percent of the history of the entire planet is less than one percent.
Perhaps, the stories that we regard as myths and legends are in other people's homes, but they are not long ago, and in the observer's diary, the records have been accurate to the person, time and place.
When Lu Wu passed on the information he had just gotten from Li Nianjun to his companions, Qianying and the others first said "You are teasing me", and then slowly fell silent.
"In myths and legends, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, Dayu's father, Kun, was not an earthling. And Dayu himself is also a three-eyed god and demon in some records, and his wife Tu Shan's Nujiao is still the most famous vixen. Ahem, we are not archaeological, but at the moment, if there is no error in the information, one of the four dragons who helped control the water should be the so-called Jinjiang Dragon King, which has a big background. In fact, there are even more ...... that ruin the three views"
Lu Wu was silent for a moment, and began to add part of what he knew, although he destroyed the three views as always, but if it was connected with the era of Dayu's water control, the ancient family did have some records.
"At that time, it wasn't just a matter of floods, the origin of the four major civilizations was all caught in war, and our side was also a defense war that affected the entire Chinese continent........"
The many water gods and demons led by the water gods? Just look at it as a group of aquatic alien races, they try to occupy this planet, and naturally start from changing the environment here.
The water gods worked together to knock down the Heavenly Pillar and cause the Great Flood of the Destruction of the World? If it looks powerful in ancient times, but according to modern views, it is just a global meteorological weapon, according to rumors, Lao Mei began to study it decades ago.
And since the climate weapon has taken effect, the climate has changed, and to stabilize, I am afraid that the four dragons have made sacrifices, and if they have been stabilizing the climate of this continent, the association's help and support for them is also understandable.
"Equivalent exchange, pay and gain must be equal, it is common in any world, although I don't know how the predecessors did it, but let these dragons have been stabilizing the climate here for thousands of years, just regular human pillars, it is definitely not enough......."
