Chapter 183: Five Phoenixes and Phoenixes
Wang Lihong and his entourage brought all their equipment and came to the cave of the dragon snake, which was the place of the stone lock array, and after fixing the rope, they went down to the cave. For the sake of safety and insurance, this time he still let the Night Raven take the lead, and then he went to the front to explore the way first.
Ten minutes later, the night crow sent a safety signal, and at this time, Huang Qirui and Wang Zhichu went down the cave with peace of mind.
When the group descended to the cave, the first thing they came to was a long tunnel corridor.
The corridor was a bit like a train tunnel, but it was so much wider, fifteen or sixteen meters wide, it was quite surprising.
This corridor is like a staircase, but it is not going up, but it has been going down, turning back to a very deep place, Wang Lihong They walked for nearly half a day before they came to an exit, at this time they had come to a depth of nearly 1,500 meters underground, but they themselves did not feel too much.
Walking out of the exit of this tunnel, Wang Lihong and the others entered a dark but felt very wide space, because they could feel the sound spreading when they spoke here, and it felt as if they were in a huge cave.
"I'm going to go, it's so big down here." Wang Lihong shone the searchlight forward, and the light shone nearly two hundred meters away, and it seemed that the hole was at least four or five hundred square meters, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Wang Zhichu twisted a few fluorescent lighting sticks and threw them in all directions of the wide cave, and with the help of these not too bright lights, they finally barely saw the whole picture.
This is a very wide circular cave, the ground under your feet is very flat, and there are many ancient pictures and texts on the walls of the cave around it. These patterns have many colors, intertwined with each other, forming a very strange pattern, which Wang Lihong is completely incomprehensible.
Wang Zhichu looked at these patterns and was a little excited, and said excitedly: "This is it, this is it." ”
Wang Lihong asked, "Professor Wang." What do you say that's it? ”
As soon as Wang Lihong finished asking, Huang Qirui opened his mouth to explain: "These patterns are begging texts before Xia, and they are written with some stories about a legend, as well as some warnings and curses. ”
"What legend?" Wang Lihong suddenly asked energetically.
"The legend of an immortal man also says that trespassers will die." Huang Qirui explained while looking at the pictures and texts on the rock wall.
Wang Lihong was happy, and said with a smile: "This person can still live forever, is it possible?" Does it say who this immortal person is? ”
Just when Wang Lihong asked this question, Hong Ye suddenly shouted to them: "Look at this picture. ”
Wang Lihong thought that there were only words in this cave, but he didn't expect there to be pictures. With this bright searchlight, Wang Lihong saw the picture that Hong Ye said.
There is a very long animal on it, and on top of the head of this animal stands a man, who is all white, and looks like an old man, with a white beard and white clothes, and many animals under his feet are bowing to him.
The more Wang Lihong looked at it, the more strange he felt, and asked, "Do you think this long animal looks like a dragon and a snake?" ”
Wang Zhichu was fascinated by it, and the archaeologists still committed occupational diseases back then. While studying, he said to Wang Lihong: "It's not a matter of being like or not, this is the dragon snake." ”
Wang Lihong was not very surprised, he was now curious about the person standing on top of the head of this dragon snake. He was curious to find out who this person was. What secrets are there about him? Why do so many animals bow down to him?
Just when Wang Lihong was very surprised, another mural about two meters next to it attracted it again.
This mural Wang Lihong is even more incomprehensible. The painting depicts a five-colored bird under a large tree, chirping at another colorful sacred bird on the tree, as if it were worshipping.
"What are these birds?" Wang Lihong asked curiously.
Wang Zhichu had also approached and looked at the painting carefully. said to Wang Lihong: "This is called the Five Phoenixes." ”
"Five phoenixes? What does that mean? Wang Lihong didn't know that there was such a thing at all, in his impression, he only knew that the phoenix was only red. Then there is the saying of Wufeng.
Wang Zhichu immediately opened a literacy class for myths and stories, giving Wang Lihong and others who don't have much common sense to make up for the lesson, he said: "The phoenix is the legendary mythical bird, the female bird is the phoenix, and the male bird is the phoenix. The phoenix is divided into five types because of its own color, namely red vermilion, cyan green luan, and yellow. Colored birds (yuanchu 1 and 3 tones), white birds and purple cormorants (yuezhuo 4 and 2 tones). However, no phoenix is a combination of five colors and one, except for this king of ten thousand phoenixes - rainbow phoenix. ”
When Wang Lihong heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "Hey, Professor Wang, what you said is a little wrong." You say that the female bird is a phoenix, and the male bird is a phoenix, then this rainbow phoenix should be a female bird, so how can it be called five phoenixes, or it should be said that it is called five phoenixes and phoenixes. ”
"Young man, these are the myths and legends of the ancients, and there is no authoritative document at all about some specific statements, and who knows what they say." Wang Zhichu waved his hand, saying that he had no way to answer Wang Lihong's question.
Wang Lihong didn't continue to ask, after all, no one can have a definite answer to this thing, unless you are a person in a mythological story, the ghost knows if this is nonsense.
Then they saw a third mural. This mural depicts the white man in the first picture, and this time he is standing in the clouds, facing the rainbow phoenix, as if the two are communicating something.
The more Wang Lihong looked, the more curious he became, who was this white old man? Wang Lihong suddenly remembered a person at this time, that is, the strange White Emperor with divine power. The more Wang Lihong looked, the more he felt that the two were too similar, but this was all Wang Lihong's subjective consciousness, and he simply guessed that the old man's white body was still very weak. But no matter what, this person is definitely not an ordinary person, more or less a bull-nosed person.
There are only three murals, and it's over here, and all the other places are some runes, if you want to decipher them all, I don't know how much time it will take, not to mention that there are still a lot of characters that need to be interpreted to guess, they are not here to archaeology this time, where are they in the mood to stay here all the time, so everyone is trying to find an exit.
Wang Lihong's Beastmaster's eyesight played a role in this, and he saw a slightly reddened hole on the left, which seemed to be the entrance they were looking for. (To be continued.) )
