Chapter 67: Nuwa
After the entire mural has been cleaned up, what appears to us along with these strange scales is an extremely strange body, on which there are no corresponding limbs, and there are not even any human features.
After combining these scales into their eyes, it is not difficult for everyone to find that this is not so much a human body as a dragon-like snake-like body.
After seeing this scene, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became extremely complicated.
Although the shape of the eyes of the face we saw earlier was unusual, the left eye was like the sun and the right eye was like the moon, but other than that, we could easily tell that it was still a human face.
And because it is a human face, we have a preconceived idea that after the mercenaries clean up the mural, we will see the body and limbs under the face, and we can tell who this person is sacred from the characteristics of his clothing.
But today, what we see is not the clothing and armor of any era, and even what we see is not a human body, but scales that can never appear on a human body.
In this case, what kind of unknown existence is carved on this mural?
Unlike the abnormality of Chunting today and the confusion after everyone found the scales, Qi Zhi didn't seem to feel any fear of the mysterious existence she saw in front of her, only to see her boldly approach the mural, and after some careful observation, she raised her head and said to us.
"Brother Chuan, if I'm not mistaken, the scales carved on this mural seem to be snake scales."
Hearing Qi Zhi's conclusion, everyone couldn't help but feel stunned.
The world is far from what we can imagine, and there are countless natural species in it, and those with scales do not know how to have geometry.
And in this case, how can Qi Zhi be sure that the scales carved on this mural are snake scales and not other existences?
"Brother Chuan, because there will be people who inherit the beast language in my family every few generations, so the family has always been provided with the beast illustrated book left by the ancestors, among which birds and beasts are readily available, I have often read it since I was a child, and I have long been familiar with it, as long as it is recorded in the book, then I will never admit my mistake."
Seeing that we seemed to believe it or not, Qi Zhi did not show any dissatisfaction, only to see her smile, and then returned to our side and explained to us seriously.
"And the scales carved on this fresco are thick and small, hexagonal, and it is not difficult to find that there is also a row of rectangular ventral scales covered with tiles, and this abdominal scale is the characteristic that snakes have evolved to swim on the ground, and according to the characteristics I have seen so far, this scale may only belong to snakes, and there is no other possibility."
Hearing this, although everyone was still not 100% sure, they had already secretly acquiesced to the conclusion in Qi Zhi's mouth.
After all, snakes are one of the animals, and for someone like Qi Zhi, who is proficient in animal language and can even communicate with wild beasts, we are naturally not qualified to doubt her judgment of animals.
But if this is really the case, then the existence on this mural is a human face and a snake body, and the alien beast that can meet these two conditions at the same time, where will it be sacred?
After the mural was cleaned up, what appeared in front of us now was an unknown existence with a human face and a snake body. 29GG
And there is no doubt that in the past thousand years in Shenzhou, as long as it comes to the human face and snake body, then the most famous must be the legendary Nuwa Niangniang.
According to legend, Nuwa Niangniang once used yellow clay to imitate herself to make people, create creatures in the world and establish a marriage system, and when the Gonggong angrily touched the mountains and caused the world to collapse, she melted colorful stones to make up for the sky, and cut the turtle enough to set up the four poles, leaving the mythical story of making people from the soil and Nuwa making up the sky for future generations, even after thousands of years, it is still handed down to this day.
However, in addition to these myths and stories, it has been mentioned in countless records that Nuwa Niangniang is actually not an ordinary human being, and under that human face, there is actually a body like a snake.
According to legend, in ancient times, Hua Xu went out, and inadvertently saw a large footprint in Lei Ze, and the curious Hua Xu measured the footprints of adults with her footprints, and unconsciously sensed the heavens and men and conceived, and the son born after returning to the tribe was Fuxi, one of the three emperors of China.
Perhaps because of the Mandate of Heaven to conceive, Fu Xi was born very different from ordinary people, he only had a human-like face, but did not have a human-like body, and his person was a human-headed snake body, which was regarded as unknown by the people of the time.
However, such a special existence is not only Fu Xi.
In the legend, Hua Xu later gave birth to a daughter, that is, Fuxi's sister, this person is called Nu Xi, who also has a snake head and a snake body, which is the same as Fuxi.
According to legend, Fu Xi later created Bagua, and after gaining insight into the heavens, he married the female Xi clan, and the two worked together to establish a marriage system and rules and regulations, and eventually became one of the supreme three emperors of China.
In fact, the Nu Xi clan mentioned in this story is actually the Nuwa Niangniang who was worshiped and admired by countless people in later generations.
Although this is just a legend, it is not difficult to see that as early as a long time ago, there was a description of the image of Nuwa Niangniang with a human head and a snake body.
In addition to legends, in various ancient books, there are also invariably described Nuwa's appearance.
As early as in the "Three Emperors' Chronicles", it was mentioned: "Nuwa's surname is also Feng." Serpent body and human head. There is divine virtue. ”
The Yellow Emperor of "Liezi" also has "Ku Xi's family, the female concubine's family, Shennong's family, Xiahou's family, snake body and human face, bull's head and tiger nose, this has the appearance of inhuman, and has the virtue of the great sage." The words of the class.
In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian, who were known to the world because of their seven-step poems, also had "Xuanyuan compilation" in his "Nuwa Praise". Or Yun Erjun, with a serpentine head. Apotheosis of the Seventy, the Spirit of Ho De. Description.
Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty even commented on the ancient book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Nuwa, the ancient goddess and the emperor, with a human face and a snake body, changes seventy times in one day. ”
……
All of this convinces us that it seems that the legendary Mother Goddess of Creation, the common ancestor of all human beings, Nuwa Niangniang, is the special existence of the human-headed snake body, and the inhuman state of the human-headed snake body is actually one of the characteristics of their great virtuous people.
Thinking of this, a very bold idea suddenly popped into my head.
Could it be that the enemy we are facing now is the legendary Mother Goddess of Creation, Nuwa Niangniang!?
