Chapter III: Exploration
I took a closer look, and sure enough, I found that this pattern is slightly different from what we saw on the relief of the ancient Yelang altar, what is recorded above is still the story of the Yellow Emperor taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannu, but the Nine Heavens Xuannu on the picture has become a four-legged monster, and the image is much more hideous, in the huge background behind the pattern, the sky and stars are dim, and there is a very hazy huge strange face emerging, the expression is very hideous, indifferently looking at the figure of the person who bows down under the palace.
And beside the figure, there are a few more ancient people wearing animal skins and holding blades in their hands, and they are shaking and confronting the strange shadows that appear in the sky, the sword is tense, the environment in the picture is the same as before, but the atmosphere is very weird, as if the two armies are tense before the confrontation.
I muttered, "Could it be that the Nine Heavens Xuannu became a monster after teaching the book, and a great war broke out with ancient humans, this doesn't make sense." Chen Yun said, "If you take a closer look at the back of the huge palace in the pattern, are there many women with snakeheads and bodies?" ”
I took a closer look, and sure enough, I asked Chen Yun, what does this mean? Chen Yun said, "If I'm not mistaken, the palace presented in this picture should take place in the Yanyang female tribe, that is, the first matriarchal clan that was suppressed and exterminated by the first generation of Emperor Dijun. ”
Chen Yun continued, "There is limited information depicted on several rhinoceros horns, and we can't know why the ancient human ancestors began to break with the legendary 'gods' and go to the battlefield, but the background recorded in this pattern is clearly that there is a war brewing. The Nine Heavens Xuannu, who gave the book to the emperor, has become a monster, which is enough to show that the relationship between ancient humans and the 'gods' is gradually deteriorating. ”
I said, "Where should the Yanyang female tribe in the picture be?" Chen Yun said that the approximate location should be in Enshi, Hubei, but the specific location has not yet been verified, and I think someone should have arrived there before us.
I asked, who will get there before us? Chen Yun asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”
I said, could it be Uncle Liu? Chen Yun nodded, her tone became much more serious, and after a long time, she told me that there must be many unknown historical secrets hidden in the Yanyang female tribe, combined with the content on this pattern, it is also possible that that place is one of the origins of the ancient civilization of ancient human beings, I have a hunch that after Uncle Liu snatched the mending dzi from us, he would enter there at one point.
I objected, saying that since these patterns were constructed from the horns of rhinoceros in the house, it means that my grandfather and the others should have found the ruins of the Yanyang Nu tribe decades ago, so why did they delay going until now?
Chen Yun said that this place is not easy to enter, or to enter the ruins of the ancients, you must master certain conditions, and the reason why Uncle Liu snatched the Dzi may lie in this. I smacked my tongue and said, "Could it be that mending the Heavenly Dzi is the key to entering this Heavenly Palace?" ”
Chen Yun said, "It is also possible that this is the case, if the ancient myths and legends are true, then there should be a total of five mending stones, corresponding to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, we found a total of two mending beads, and the other three are missing, maybe they have been made up by Uncle Liu, he entered the tribal ruins of Yanyang Nu, he must have his own plans, and if we don't hurry up and be sacrificed to our ancestors, I'm afraid there will be no way to reveal the secrets of this ancient period." ”
I thought about it, no wonder Chen Yun seemed so anxious this time, it turned out that he couldn't wait to set off hastily, but it was not easy to go to the tomb, especially this Yanyang female tribe, perhaps one of the birthplaces of ancient human civilization, must be very dangerous, this trip was hasty, I am afraid there are countless difficulties and dangers waiting for us.
Seeing that I was hesitating, Chen Yun said again, "Sima Nan, I know what you're worried about, but this is the only chance we have to explore the truth of that disappearing civilization, and maybe it's also a great opportunity for you to find out if Uncle Liu is your grandfather, if you miss this time, you may never have the next chance." ”
I turned my eyes to Ge Zhuang and asked him what he thought.
Ge Zhuang said, "Look at what I do, in short, if you plan to go to the little pumpkin, then you will be counted as a fat man, we are an iron-clad friendship, and the fat master will never let you be alone in danger." ”
I said that's good, fat man, hurry up and go home and prepare, this is the last time we go to the grave, we must find out the truth, there will be no chance in the future.
Now that everyone has decided to leave, they will no longer hesitate, but there is still a difficulty in front of us, that is, it is impossible to determine the specific location of the site, Chen Yun said that the Yanyang female tribe originated in Enshi, Hubei, but Enshi is so big, where should we look for it?
Lao Zhong said that I still have a few comrades-in-arms in Hubei, and I can visit them after I go over, and maybe I can inquire about some news, since the time is pressing, in order to avoid being the first to get there, we should not delay it for too long, it is better to buy a good ticket tomorrow and go to Hubei first.
That night, Ge Zhuang and I took Lao Zhong to our rental house, and then Ge Zhuang went back to his hometown, and early the next morning, we set off to wait for the bus and headed for Hubei.
The journey was not too long, Hubei was only a few hundred kilometers away from Chongqing, and we got off the train when it was dark.
After Lao Zhong entered the room, he took out a notebook from his arms, which was full of phone numbers, he dialed them one by one, talked to people through the landline, hung up the phone soon after, stood up and said to me and Ge Zhuang, "An old comrade-in-arms invited me to his house for a drink, I want to inquire about the situation of the Yanyang female tribe by the way, do you want to go." ”
When I saw that it was getting late, and I was tired from a long day's travel, I said you should go by yourself. Ge Zhuang likes to join in the fun, and he also followed, saying that he was to inquire about information, but in fact, he was just to drink with people, I was not very hopeful about this trip, I felt that Lao Zhong should not be able to find out anything, and he didn't stop it.
After staying in the hotel for one night, and waking up the next morning, Lao Zhong brought back a very dark-skinned, very thin middle-aged man, with rough palms and calluses on one hand.
Lao Zhong introduced to me, "This is the brother of life and death I met on the battlefield, his name is Qianyong, his family is local, I heard that we are inquiring about the Yanyang female tribe, saying that there is some information to provide." ”
I hurriedly invited people into the house to sit down, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, Qianyong was very straightforward, told me that there was no need to be polite, a few simple and polite words, Qianyong went straight to the point, and told me a story.
The story happened in his hometown, and he didn't know if it was related to the Yanyang female tribe, but what involved this incident was due to a geological disaster, and many people died in his hometown.
