Volume I, Dongyi Tribe 14.The Causes of the Tragedy
Demand is the eternal pursuit of people, but we must not forget our roots, otherwise as we see such changes, powerful creativity will also disappear...
The first floor is a wide hall, in the center of the hall is placed a huge stone statue, close to see clearly, the face of a horse, the whole body carved with dense tiger stripes, arms turned into bird wings, front hooves raised, as if to spread wings to fly.
"This is the Great Beast of the Western Regions, it is said that the beast of justice, I didn't expect to be brought over by them from the distant Western Regions."
Justice is worthy of respect, and Kisan bowed respectfully.
Looking back, there is a staircase leading to the second floor, which is blocked by a stone statue.
The second floor should be separated by something, so you can't see the situation of the second floor for the time being.
Some of the iron armor and weapons scattered everywhere on the ground are as bright as new, which makes Mu San ecstatic, which man is not good at weapons?
He had been coveting the weapon of the cave people just now, and he was eager to get one, and now that it was in front of him, how could he bear it?
He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up one, and waved a few knives in the air, but the long knife that was still cold just now immediately corroded and blackened quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and with another force, the scum shattered to the ground, leaving only one handle still in his hand.
Disappointed by this, he dropped the hilt of his sword to the ground, and it didn't take long for the weapons on the ground to lose their luster and slowly lose their effectiveness.
"There has been no heaven and earth aura here for thousands of years, and at first encounter, ordinary swords are unstoppable, and I think this must be the reason."
He didn't feel a pity, he was lucky to have won it, but he lost my life.
At this time, Wang Yu had already walked to a human-shaped oil lamp, and even touched the lamp oil with his hand, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, with a fragrant and somewhat ancient moldy smell.
This aroused her great interest, which was equivalent to the feeling of Mu San when she saw the weapon, she had been very interested in novel things since she was a child, and with the assistance of a knowledgeable grandfather by her side, she could be said to know a lot about the ancient secrets of Pangea, even more than many large tribes that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Shark man, grandpa mentioned it before, and she also asked a lot of questions, but it seems that she still doesn't know enough, so go back and ask him well.
The walls are also carved with various patterns, which are more detailed and exquisite than those outside the tower, and are more scenes that record the life of their ancestors in the bitter cold land of the Western Regions.
Among them, Mu San found that there was a different place, as if it was carved later: a group of people lived together, and for some reason, they confronted each other and fought, the same tall figure, the same armor and equipment, after a protracted war, one side was scattered, corpses were all over the field, and the other side also suffered heavy casualties, and both sides were injured.
Why is there such a tragic war?
"Is that what hastened their demise?"
Mu San felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, what was the mystery?
"It seems that they also inevitably had civil unrest."
Wang Yu had temporarily put aside the matter of the merman at this time and walked to Mu San's side.
Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
"Do you think the people who started the war are wrong?"
Mu San didn't know why he asked this question.
"It's not just wrong, it's evil."
Wang Yu blurted out,
"If you don't believe me, I'll ask you, Brother Ape?"
Looking at the jade hand pointing at it, the spirit ape nodded aggrievedly.
"But how do I always feel that they are not necessarily all evil, although it is wrong to use the means of war, but it is possible that they are just to survive?"
"If you have different ideas, just part ways, there's no need for you to live or die."
"Perhaps..."
"Well, how can there be so many possibilities, how can justice and evil be so easily distinguished from the surface?"
"Let's go to the second floor and have a look."
Sure enough, you can't be reasonable with a woman. The spirit ape seemed to hear Mu San's heart and gave him a pitiful look.
Immediately, it caught up with Wang Yu and walked upright, Wang Yu happily patted its back.
It's so embarrassing, Mu San touched his nose, obviously discussing a very serious issue.
Walking up the stairs, there was another stone gate with the same black blocking the way, and the two gatekeeper beast spirits went up and down, but it was much smaller than the main gate.
When the two of them went up the steps, they deliberately felt that this place was definitely not the same mechanism, and they searched carefully for a long time, but they didn't find anything abnormal.
"Isn't the agency hiding here?"
The whole hall was clear at a glance, and there was no place to hide anything.
"Could it be where the stone statue is?"
That's right, Kizo nodded, and only the stone statue in the entire hall was the most likely to hide the mechanism.
"I'll take a look, you can sit here and drink some water."
Saying that, handing her the kettle, Mu San was rare and careful and gentle, Wang Yu was still a little moved, she was really tired of the effort just now.
The spirit ape also wanted to catch up, but was pulled by Wang Yu.
"What are you doing with this big man, let him go by himself."
The spirit ape stopped stepping and squatted down obediently.
Coming to the center of the hall, Mu San looked up at the Yingzhao stone statue again, I have to say that the carving methods of the cave people are indeed very clever, the expression of the stone statue is lifelike, the hair and tiger stripes are also very fine, and the carving marks are very rounded, making the big beast Yingzhao vivid, mighty and domineering.
Of course, in addition to the sharpness of the carving knife, it is more important to require exquisite engraving skills.
Ying Zhaoding is the guardian spirit beast of the cave people for generations, as a totem-like mystery, just like the existence of the three-legged golden crow of the Mu tribe, which is inviolable.
In this case, they would not be able to place the mechanism on Ying Zhao's body, because the base of the stone statue was very high, several heads taller than Mu San, even if they were tall, it was not possible to stand on the ground.
Of course, it is theoretically okay to step on the stone platform, but it is absolutely impossible, because this is a blasphemy of faith and cannot be forgiven, just as Mu San will never allow anyone to desecrate the three-legged golden crow.
After comparing it, the scope was narrowed down a lot, and Mu San roughly drew an area, mainly to see if there was any difference in this area.
Confessing to the stone statue, he groped little by little along the demarcated area from bottom to top, the stone seat was rough, and Mu San didn't dare to use too much force.
Finally, he found a button the size of a small fingernail, the color of which was the same as the surrounding one, and it was not easy to find.
He pressed it hard, and with a "bang", the button turned into pieces.
"It's broken, it's too hard."
He was worried that the mechanism would be damaged and he would not be able to open the door, so he was about to stop here, when Wang Yu's voice came, and the spirit ape also roared, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear it.
"The door is open, come back quickly."
He hurriedly said yes and ran quickly to the stairs.
"I didn't expect that you kid is quite smart, and you found it so quickly."
Mu San touched his nose a little speechlessly,
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you, you can also sit down and rest, let's eat something and go in."
The two of them sat on the stone steps, took out the dried meat they carried, took the knife and divided it into three parts, handed the slightly softer one to Wang Yu, and handed the largest piece to the spirit ape.
"Brother Ape, bear with me for a while, and when we go out from here, we will definitely serve you a sumptuous delicacy."
The spirit ape pursed his lips, didn't look at Mu San who was full of apologies, grabbed the dried meat, and stuffed it into his mouth, it seemed that he was really hungry.
He was the only one who took the smallest and hardest piece and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.
It's dry and hard to chew, Mu San has to swallow it raw with water, and now is not the time to pay attention to these.
"You come and eat my piece, I'm full."
Without waiting for Mu San to agree, Wang Yu handed a small bite of dried meat into his arms, got up and walked towards the second floor.
Mu San didn't have time to be moved, so he hurriedly stood up, stuffed the dried meat into his mouth indiscriminately, pulled up the spirit ape, and quickly caught up.
At this time, the stone door leading to the second floor has been open for a long time, and the lights on the second floor have been turned on.
"It's so miserable, how can it be?"
The spirit ape looked up to the sky and screamed, and Wang Yu also shed tears in an instant.
I saw a group of people sitting in the center of the hall on the second floor, who had long since dried up, staggering, they were basically old and weak, women and children, most of the children were placed in the middle position, occupying a whole open space, a young child was hugged by his mother tightly in his arms and died, it seemed that he could not walk. This is the hope of a nation!
Surrounded by a group of tall figures, spears stationed, dead without falling, each dead without looking at it.
The scene of hundreds of people is throbbing, what happened here thousands of years ago?
Mu San took the initiative to hug Wang Yu, who was crying, and wiped the tears on her face.
"The people who wage war are the most evil, they don't spare even the old and the young, and they are inhumane"
"Let's go over and see if there's anything we can do to help them."
Wang Yu nodded and stopped crying.
The two of them stepped forward gently, for fear that the sound would be too loud and alarm the undead here.
As the breeze carried by walking, a soldier with a thousand years of standing seemed to have completed his mission, and fell to the ground with a bang and turned to ashes.
The two of them had been guessing for so long, and they were all wrong, and now they finally understood why the once glorious Cave People suddenly perished?
It was mercilessly killed by people and exterminated the entire race.
The scenes of a thousand years ago seem to be slowly emerging in front of me...
The bitter cold land of the Western Regions made the life of the ancestors of the cave people more and more difficult, they not only had to fight against the harsh environment, but also had to fight with those native ancient beasts for food, and they had survived in that land for a long time, and if they wanted to fight with fate, they had to make themselves stronger, so their stature was much taller than that of the Central Plains.
But as the competition became more and more fierce, the stronger beasts also felt threatened and began to take the initiative to attack them, and the clansmen suffered countless casualties and heavy losses for a while.
In a precarious situation, they have to embark on the path of change, wanting to go far away and find a new place to live.
How easy is it to say?
First of all, they didn't know where to go, so they could only send waves of people to investigate from all directions.
The clansmen had traveled almost all over the Pangea Continent, and they learned that the northern region was similar to their current environment, and it was also a bitter cold land, and the southern region was too hot for them to live. Only the Central Plains and the Eastern Regions are the best places to survive, where the wind and the sun are beautiful, the products are abundant, and everyone yearns for the beautiful scenes brought back by the clansmen.
