Chapter 356: Disappearing Shoe Prints
"What do you see is that?"
I was immersed in the mythical story of Dayu's water control told by Wu Jinghan, and suddenly Wu Jinghan raised his head and pointed to the top of the temple in surprise.
Looking up, I saw that a few meters in front of the Dayu stone statue in mid-air, there was a huge bronze coffin hanging, and several wrist-thick bronze chains were fixed on the four corners of the coffin.
The bronze coffin was covered with green patina, faintly visible with patterns and illegible characters.
Seeing this scene, I was also very surprised: "Damn! How did you hang such a large coffin in midair? It's definitely not my own family that is asleep inside......"
Wu Jinghan took a deep breath: "I heard the teacher say that in ancient times, in order to punish those heinous demons, their coffins were hung in the air, so that they could not reach the sky or the ground, so that their souls were imprisoned forever and could not be reborn forever." ”
Hearing her words, I felt a little panicked, and hurriedly rubbed my hands: "It's just a legend, and it's not true......"
Wu Jinghan frowned and stared at the coffin in mid-air, as if she had suddenly become very preoccupied, and she didn't pay attention to me anymore.
I know that his professional illness is committed again, for people who study archaeology, this can be regarded as the discovery of "earth-shattering ghosts and gods", so I am not bored, quietly walked behind the stone statue of Dayu, and my attention was immediately attracted by several huge stone tablets.
These steles are jet-black, erected behind the statue of Dayu, but it seems to be the description of this stone statue.
I leaned over and glanced at it a few times, the stele was mainly depicted, occasionally mixed with a few characters, but it was crooked, even if it knew me, I didn't know it.
There are a total of five stone tablets, and I learned from the last time in the underground space of the Yellow River, a few old professors interpreted the order of the narrative murals, starting from the far left.
The stele is a simple line outline, but the carving is very clear and expressive, and it feels the same style as the narrative strokes seen under the Yellow River that day.
I tried to read the narrative painting on the stele.
The first painting seems to be a picture of war, and the two sides of the war are not ordinary people, because it is obvious that some people are flying in the sky, some have two heads, and some have four legs, and they look like both men and beasts.
Both sides were armed with weapons in their hands and were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Looking down in order, it seems that it is still a very fierce battle, but there are some pictures that I can't understand.
In several of the images, a man of apparent height, with a sword in his hand, as if he was still a leader, commanding one of the sides to meet him.
The strange thing is that in addition to commanding people, this giant seems to be able to command mountains and rivers.
In one of the paintings, the man points his sword at a small mountain, and in the next painting, the small mountain smashes into the crowd.
There is another painting that is also difficult to understand.
The giant also pointed his sword at a river, and then in the next painting, the water in the river rolled up a water dragon and rushed towards each other.
This is......
The word "moving mountains and reclaiming the sea" came to my mind, and at the same time, I had a sudden sense of enlightenment, and suddenly I thought of what was described on these stone tablets.
In the myths and legends of our country, as far as I know, there are only three legends of "moving mountains and reclaiming the sea".
The first section is Jingwei reclamation, this myth occurred in the Yanhuang era, to be precise, after the battle of the deer, legend, the guard is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, because of an accident, drowned, so her body turned into a bird, determined to carry a small pebble day and night, want to fill the sea.
It was a fantasy that a bird would try to fill up the sea, but it did.
The second paragraph is that Yugong moves mountains.
This story is recorded in Liezi. In Tang Wen", it was written in the Spring and Autumn Period 3,000 years ago, and it is actually an ancient legend compiled by the author.
At the end of the story, "The god of the snake heard it, feared it, and told the emperor." The emperor felt his sincerity and ordered the two sons of the Kua'e family to bear two mountains, one in the east of Shuo, and one in the south of Yongnan. Since then, the south of Hebei, the yin of Han, has no long to break. "For the end.
These two stories are now used as aspiration stories, encouraging people to achieve success in their careers as long as they are not afraid of difficulties and persist in struggle.
And it's all in a "mythical" way, so that the story has a good ending.
But those who have a heart should find a clue. 12345
In the story, the sea has indeed been filled, and the two mountains have indeed been removed - this is actually the real result of the story, as for the "fairy help" should be the "self-righteousness" of others, they don't believe that a small bird will fill up the boundless sea, and they don't believe that an ordinary man can remove two mountains?
There must be a god to help, just like the ancients saw the whole picture of the universe, they thought that the sky was round, and they could not see the whole picture of the earth, so they thought that the earth was square.
The reason why Jingwei and Yugong were able to move mountains and reclaim the sea may be explained by another - they have mastered the divine power that can move mountains and reclaim the sea.
After reading these steles in general, it reminds me of another story of "Yugong moving mountains", to be precise, a myth, that is, the battle between the Yanhuang tribe and the Dongyi tribe led by Chiyou.
Legend has it that the two sides invited Hebo and the rain god, the gossip of the five elements, and the Qimen Dunjia, of course, the control of mountains and rivers is not a problem.
If I'm not mistaken, these steles are the scenes of this war, but unfortunately I can't understand the characters on the steles, otherwise it is possible to uncover an unknown history.
Hey? I can't read it, maybe Wu Jinghan can......
"Jinghan, come and see?"
I hurriedly turned around and asked Wu Jinghan, but found that there was nothing behind me.
What about people?
Just now, this girl was obviously standing in the middle of the temple.
"Xiao Wu?"
"Jinghan?"
I shouted around to make sure that the person was not in the temple, so I quickly picked up my unconscious uncle and ran to the door, strangely there was no one outside.
At first, I didn't panic too much, because I knew Wu Jinghan's personality, and when she suddenly saw such a monument, she would definitely be a professional disease, and maybe she was attracted by some antiquities.
But when I shouted and searched around, but I didn't find anyone, I couldn't help but panic.
What about people?
I squatted in front of the stone monument, and it only took three or five minutes for a big living person to evaporate for no reason!
was thinking about it, and when he inadvertently lowered his head, he saw the footprints left by the two of them.
Just now I saw my uncle lying on the coffin, and when I moved my uncle's body carefully, the soles of the two of them stepped on a layer of black things, and then there was a chaos, and I didn't have time to clean it, so when I entered the Yu Temple, I left shoe prints.
I looked closely at the footprints on the ground, and I couldn't help but gasp, and my scalp exploded in an instant.
Because no one has been in for many years, let alone cleaned, there is a thick layer of dust on the entire ground, and you can clearly see the shoe prints left by the two people on the ground.
The problem is that my shoe prints have two trips, one in and one out, but Wu Jinghan only has the shoe prints that enter Yuwang Temple, but he does not go out.
I was both surprised and frightened.
There are no shoe prints that go out, which means that she did not leave the house, but this temple Yu Shen Temple is not big, except for a few stone tablets and tall Yu Shen stone statues, there is nothing else, and what is even more incredible is that the shoe prints arrived at the place where Wu Jinghan was standing just now.
When the shoe prints are here, why did the people disappear?
Thinking about it like this, the cold sweat on my back came down.
I stood on Wu Jinghan's shoe print, looked around, and finally fixed my eyes on the tall Yuwang Temple, and Yuwang's posture aroused my curiosity.
King Yu holds a weapon in both hands, if according to the mythical story told by Wu Jinghan before, these two weapons should be the mountain axe and the water sword, the mountain axe hangs to the ground, and the water sword is raised into the air, I swept along the arm of Yu Shen holding the sword, and extended along the direction of the tip of the sword, which happened to be hanging on the coffin in mid-air.
Yu Shen pointed at the huge bronze coffin with a water-avoiding sword?
A very strange and terrible thought suddenly popped into my head, there is a place to hide in this temple......
As soon as this idea came to me, I immediately "blocked" it, because if it did, it would be terrible!
