Chapter 889: The Lackeys of the Divine Tree
Like a repeater, and like a spiral staircase, the picture scroll has fought and made peace four times, and the war has not solved the problem of cause, but has instead bred the problem of triggering a new round of war.
Without being able to read the text, the people did not know why the war started, nor did they know what the outcome and purpose of the war would be.
However, after the fourth peace, the style of the scroll changed abruptly.
Instead of describing war and peace, the scroll is divided in two with obvious pattern intervals, as if the paper was still left after the story was drawn, and the remaining blank waste was simply used.
The first scene of the scroll on the right is a towering tree standing above the sky, and above the sacred tree is the familiar giant moon. The silver-white moon is painted like a gemstone, but the ancients didn't have astronomical telescopes, so they couldn't ask for too much.
The moon occupies a large area of the painting with great magnificence, and the giant tree is not too much, and the dwarf mountains reflect the height of the giant tree.
"Tree and moon, is this someone climbing the tree?"
"Are the two different things described in the front and back scrolls? No, if it's unrelated, it won't be placed in the same scroll. ”
"Is this what happened after the war?"
"Read on."
The second picture shows a woman with long hair climbing a tree and eating the fruit of the tree.
Judging from the costumes painted by the poor painters, most of the women who ate the fruit were also from East Asia.
However, no matter how a few well-informed experts look at it, it is impossible to determine which region and which historical stage of this clothing style has appeared, like China and more like the island country.
But it's more like which cartoonist created the Four Differences.
The four wars were resolved with only a few paintings, and every picture that can appear on this scroll is of great significance, even if it is eating fruit, it must represent something important to happen.
Sure enough, after the woman ate the fruit, the entire tall giant tree that thrust into the sky underwent a terrifying change in the next scene.
The giant trees turned into brown monsters, roaming the land unscrupulously, and the mountains they walked on were terrifying, and perhaps it was this rough painting that deepened this despair.
Judging from the texture and color, the monster was transformed by a giant tree, and the faces of ordinary people running on the ground in the scroll showed frightened expressions.
"Eating the fruit of the tree has gained supernatural power, but it has also caused a sea change? Even the whole tree turned into a monster ......"
"So it should be regarded as stealing the fruit."
"It shouldn't be something that happened in our country that the picture scroll painted, otherwise it would have been recorded in the ancient books."
Smashing his mouth, a group of experts were digesting the shock brought by this picture scroll.
Placed on ordinary excavated artifacts, this would only be considered a fantastic fantasy of the ancients, but since it was unearthed at the same time as a transcendent object, the credibility of the scroll reached its highest level in an instant.
In the next scene where the monster is wreaking havoc, the woman who stole the fruit and the monster formed by the sacred tree suddenly descend into the full moon in the sky.
A man and a monster stand on the moon, and the composition style is very similar to that of elementary school students, but with the aesthetic knowledge of the ancients, they can only think of this simple way of expression.
This is the end of the picture scroll, and one person and one monster just come to an abrupt end when they reach the moon and moon.
What exactly does this mean, but unfortunately people can't make any strong guesses without understanding the text next to it.
"The myth of stealing fruits, whether it is Chang'e in China or Adam and Eve in the West, is undoubtedly biased towards more Chinese myths from the moon."
"It must have been a history that took place in another world, between the extraordinary."
"Phew, this discovery is too significant, and this sacred tree is not ...... with the outside."
Speaking of the sacred tree, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled, and the most important thing in this shrine was the sacred tree that stood between heaven and earth.
The tall giant tree in the picture scroll turned into a monster after being plucked from the fruit, is there any connection between the sacred tree in the Taisha shrine and the sacred tree in the picture scroll?
And from the point of view of appearance, no, most of the trees look the same, which does not become the basis for judgment, but in case, even if only a small probability event occurs, the sacred tree in the Sacred Tree Shrine and the giant tree in the picture scroll belong to the same source......
The sacred tree may not run amok in Tokyo in some cases, but equally important is whether the sacred tree can actually bear fruit, and whether the fruit will gain the power of immortality after eating it, as in the myth of the moon.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you guy!"
"I ...... Good...... It's me talking nonsense. ”
Did they see something they shouldn't see?
And I also saw this scroll on the territory of the sacred tree's own territory, and with the ability of the transcendent existence to be elusive, it is said that the god tree of Daigi also saw the things on this scroll unconsciously.
It's like the murderer in the movie standing behind the person who solves the crime with his hands behind his back, and it is appropriate to end the bloody scene.
A sense of foreboding that was about to be killed hung over everyone's heart.
The new discoveries that had been eagerly made were replaced by a dead silence, and all the people present were intelligent, and they all sensed great danger.
What does the Divine Tree have to do with different origins and ordinary people like them, so they pretend not to know about it, and pretend not to think about it.
"I'll hurry up and get our work done, and I'll trouble Professor Fujiwara to seal the scroll."
"Yes, yes, the photos have already been preserved, don't worry about rubbing, these three scrolls have brought us too much valuable things."
"Ahh
"The rice in my pot is almost mushy."
"Let's go, let's go."
A professor casually made eye contact with Ito Mashi, who was standing next to him, and his whole body trembled with fright.
The red-and-white shrine maiden suit, that's what it is...... O lackey of the sacred tree!
He had already preconceived the number of the gods and the monsters in the picture scroll!
Mayo Ito didn't pay attention to these people's thoughts, in her opinion, Mishu-sama would definitely not be the monster that destroyed the world in the picture scroll, and she didn't forget who was guarding the safety of all of Tokyo.
And even if it is, so what.
If the Sacred Tree also bears fruit, then I, as the number one shrine maiden, will definitely swear to protect the safety of this fruit.
If the Divine Tree really wants to destroy the world, he will saddle up his horse and fight bravely to kill the enemy - destroying the world sounds pretty cool.
It wasn't until they left the confines of the Yoyogi Sacred Tree Taisha that several experts who hastily called it a halt were relieved.
"Hurry up and sort out the information in that picture scroll and submit it to the cabinet, you can't stay for a moment."
The leader, Professor Fujiwara, clenched his fists and looked up at the towering sacred tree uneasily.
