Chapter 22: The Center of the Earth
I didn't know how long I had been standing in front of the skeleton, and I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was in, but after a long sigh, I put away the jade plaque, and walked back to look at the murals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The huge curiosity and questions in my heart almost drove me crazy, and this time, even if I died, I had to figure out what was going on.
Next, those guys went all the way through the earth's crust and mantle, and the bottom was full of high-temperature melted rocks, that is, magma, and a lot of free metal vapor, and they put on a special jade armor, and only then did they pass through here and came to the core of the earth, this jade armor, both in the material and the texture of the jade, is very similar to the sphere embedded in the rift.
The core of the earth in the mural is not filled with magma as I did not suspect, but a huge cavity, and in the center of this cavity, a huge stone gate is embedded, and they stand on top of the stone door, and the leader of the skeleton soldiers also took off his mask at this time.
Beneath the mask was a face, but a huge, venignant eye, the one I had seen three or four times in a row, and I couldn't be wrong, this eye was exactly the same as the one on the sarcophagus, and the one that appeared on the mural before!
Sure enough, it's the Witch King!
I almost cried out, and the urge to scrape the mural off rose in my heart, but in the end I resisted, calmed down, and photographed it.
They used a special method to open the stone door, and the things in the stone door could not be seen clearly on this painting, I could only judge that it was a behemoth, I hurriedly turned my eyes to the next mural, only to find that the painting was very badly defaced, the dried blood scab almost covered the entire painting, plus the cover of the corpse on the ground, I could only see a few large characters next to the mural, which was marked with the kind of ancient characters similar to bird seals.
As I mentioned before, I majored in archaeology in college, and I read a lot of books, plus I usually have access to a lot of cultural relics in Lao Zhao's shop, and I have seen many ancient characters, and I can be regarded as half an expert.
It seems to be the world's ...... Origin.
"The origin of the world...... What's that? I really wanted to see what the so-called "origin of the world" behind the stone gate was, so I said "offended", bent down and bowed, picked up the skeleton, and wanted to move it aside.
But I didn't expect that it would take too long, and the skeleton was already rotten, and I just touched it and fell apart, and I was very helpless, so I could only find a piece of cloth on the ground that was still intact, and put the skeleton in a pile and wrapped it aside.
Then, little by little, I scraped the blood stain on it with my fingernails, and as the stain was removed little by little, an amazing secret appeared in front of me more and more clearly.
What I saw next would completely change my perception of the world.
Behind the stone gate, which is the core of the earth, is a huge heart!
Next, there is another sectional diagram, countless blood vessels extend from the heart, the most important artery, turned into the Kunlun Mountains, and then derived a variety of mountains and rivers.
Am I still reading too little, the meaning of the word "center of the earth" is not the core of the earth, but the heart of the earth?
The so-called feng shui dragon vein is actually the blood of the earth?
No wonder the Kunlun Mountains are called the ancestors of the dragon veins in the world, it turns out to be well-founded.
I felt my worldview collapse in an instant, and I even began to believe that all this was true, that this is the truth, after all, the truth is often only in the hands of a few.
So, the earth is not a dead thing, the earth is also alive?
If you think about it, it is not impossible that we always use ourselves as a benchmark to locate life, but some life will be an existence that we cannot understand, just like they cannot understand us.
Of course, this may also be the worship of the ancients to give birth to our mother earth, the embodiment of the earth as a person, which is an artistic expression, which is very common in the works of the ancients, a thunder and rain in the sky, can pull out things like the thunder and lightning mother, and even the sun is imagined as a three-legged golden crow.
However, even if all this is just a reverie, the brains of the ancients must be a little too big.
There is a kind of abnormality in this mural, but when I think about it, my presence in this kind of place at this moment is the biggest abnormality in itself.
I took a picture with my phone and continued to look at it.
The next mural tells the story of a group of people making alchemy, but they don't use fire to make alchemy, and the way is very special.
They locked a huge Dan furnace with iron chains, and the other directions of the chain were connected to the trapped dragon nails that were driven deep into the ground, and then, they buried the Dan furnace in the feng shui eye under the ground, which was supposed to use the dragon vein feng shui qi to refine the pill.
It's just that with such a big stroke, what are they refining, is it an elixir?
In that case, the Penglai of the East China Sea recorded on the red copper scroll was not actually related to it because Ying Zheng suppressed King Zhou, who held the secret of immortality, in Python River, but had a relationship with it as early as the time of the Witch King.
Then, the picture jumps again, and there is something strange about the painting, there is only one person in the whole picture, a young man in his twenties.
Once again, I was so impressed by the person who painted this mural, because the color palette, the depiction, and the light and shadow were so perfect that I was so shocked when I saw him at first glance that I almost thought he was a real person.
This should be a relatively weak person, I thought to myself, for some reason, seeing this person, my heart suddenly felt unprecedented peace.
I remember that in Lao Zhao's first story not long ago, there was also an indifferent young man, he also had eyes as clear as a pool of spring water, and his second story was told to him by a young man.
My gut told me there must be some connection between them, but it was a bit ridiculous, after all, the three young men were in different periods, thousands of years apart.
It wasn't until much later that I realized that the young man in all of Lao Zhao's stories was the same person as the one on the mural.
Many things happen before they happen, but we don't know it at the time.
