"Why does Miss Yang also know about shamanic mythology?" He Xie's gaze fell on Shirley Yang's face.

Shirley Yang smiled, stretched out her hand to put a wisp of green silk behind her ear, looked at the mural and said softly: "Before I came, I specially checked some information and found that this Khitan princess tomb has some connection with shamanism, so I learned about some shamanic myths and legends by the way." ”

She didn't wait for He Xie to ask, so she directly began to tell: "The creation god in shamanism is called Duokohuo, she was born when the heavens and the earth were not divided, and then she collapsed her divine body for the sake of creation, her eyes became the sun and the moon, her hair became a forest, and her sweat became a stream. Flesh and skin, turned into grasslands and mountains......"

Shirley Yang glanced at He Xie and said with a smile: "Most religions have similar legends, which is not new, but the more interesting thing about shamanic mythology is that the next mythological stories are completely different from the direction of other religions. ”

"The goddess of Dokoho did not die after creation, her soul was hidden in a sacred stone, descended from the sky, and told her followers that she would be resurrected in a thousand years, come out of the divine stone, and establish a colorful divine kingdom without birth, old age, sickness and death, so that all those who believe in her will never die."

With a sigh of relief, Shirley Yang continued: "So this sacred stone has become a sacred object of shamanism, and the believers worship it day and night, hoping that the gods they believe in will be resurrected as soon as possible and take them to the other side. The first shaman, Abu Kaheh, was originally the most loyal devotee of the goddess, but when her life came to an end, the fear of death overwhelmed her devotion to the goddess. So she did one thing, she swallowed the stone. ”

When He Xie heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, the version that Shirley Yang said was different from the version he heard when he was alive.

In the version that Shirley Yang said, Abukaheh took the initiative to devour the Divine Stone, while in the version that He Xie heard before, Abukaheh was forced by the demon and was forced to swallow the Divine Stone.

Thinking that the image of Abu Kaheh in the mural was very distorted and ugly, He Xie felt that what Shirley Yang was talking about should be the orthodox shamanic mythology handed down from this world.

"Gods cannot be blasphemed," Shirley Young continued, "Abukaheh, who swallowed the Divine Stone, immediately burst into flames, and everything that came near her was incinerated to ashes by her, and she continued her life as she wished, but she became a fire demon, lost all emotion, and became an evil being. ”

"It devoured the soul of the goddess and also gained the memory of the goddess, so she wanted to completely replace the goddess and become the new god of the shaman." Shirley Yang looked at He Xie, "It's a pity that her plot didn't succeed in the end, she was killed by the angry believers, her body turned into a stone again, and her soul was banished by the believers to the other end of the door of life and death. ”

Hearing this, He Xie immediately remembered the fourth mural he had seen at the entrance before, his previous guess was correct, the goddess had really been expelled into that door.

Shirley Yang pointed to the first mural in front of him and said with a smile: "Because Abu Kaheh devoured the goddess and cut off the only hope for the goddess's resurrection, the shamans lost their only faith and began to split. This first mural depicts the history of the shamanic schism. ”

After a slight pause, Shirley Yang pointed to the second mural: "But there are still some people who have not given up hope of the resurrection goddess, they have stayed, trying to find a way to resurrect the goddess by studying the stone that Abukaheh's body has transformed, and they have made good progress." You see, the painting depicts a scene where they open the door of life and death through this stone and bring a dead person back to life. ”

He Xie nodded, through the shamanic myths told by Shirley Yang, and then looking at these murals, many things that he couldn't understand or couldn't understand immediately suddenly became much clearer.

He looked at the third mural, which was already a little blurry, the huge gate of life and death still existed, and from the door poured out many hideous and terrifying monsters, fighting and fighting with the human army on the other side.

Shirley Yang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm a little unsure about the content of this painting." I guess maybe they released the monster behind the door in the process of resurrecting the goddess, causing a disaster......"

And the fourth mural, which has been completely destroyed, can not see anything clearly.

Shirley Yang shrugged at He Xie and said, "Since the death of the goddess, shamanism has no longer set up temples to worship their gods, and because of the division caused by the death of the goddess, the interpretations of the teachings by the believers are varied, and it is difficult to unify them. So in fact, since the goddess Dokoho was swallowed by Abu Kaheh, the oldest orthodox shamanism has existed in name only. ”

He Xie stared at the monsters in the third mural, and suddenly pointed to one of them, and said, "Look at this monster with a snake head and a human body, is it familiar?" ”

Shirley Yang took a closer look with a flashlight and said, "One of the eight resurrected sculptures before?" This is not surprising, as the sculpture may have been based on the myths and legends depicted in the mural. ”

After a pause, Shirley Yang turned her head and said, "Mr. He, do you really believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world?" ”

"You don't believe me?" He Xie asked without looking back.

Shirley Yang looked at He Xie's side face, and unexpectedly found that if there was no prejudice, this man was still quite attractive.

"It's irresponsible to blame ghosts for everything you don't understand." Shirley Yang grinned, "A lot of unexplainable things may just be because we humans are too ignorant. After all, we know too little about the whole world. I still believe that science can explain everything in the end. ”

He Xie turned his head and glanced at her: "There is also a saying that the end of science is theology. ”

Shirley Young scoffed: "We now know how this universe was born, which shows that those creation myths of all religions are wrong from the beginning, even fundamentally wrong, how can I believe that the future path of theology can be back on track?" This is just a self-deception because of the inability to do anything about the world! ”

"Then the sculpture was resurrected just now, how do you explain it?" He Xie smiled and asked. He found the woman's way of thinking really interesting.

"The resurrection of sculpture is just a puppet technology that we don't understand." Shirley Young expressed her opinion, "Maybe people can really exist in another way after they die, but it is still just another way of life, everyone is life, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of." ”

After a pause, Shirley Yang smiled at He Xie and said, "Mr. He, don't believe too much in the content of the murals, they will never be real, and if you don't understand it, it won't help us much." I think the most important thing we should be concerned about now is how to get out of here. ”

He couldn't deny: "Maybe." ”
