Chapter 3 The Ancient God of War (3) Chiyou's hometown
When I woke up, the car was parked at the foot of a mountain and there was no one on the car, it was dark outside the window, it was already night, I stretched my waist and walked out of the car, and saw that a group of people had lit a bonfire and were setting up a tent in the station, Assistant Yao handed me the baked food, "I can't bear to wake you up when you sleep so well, oh, hungry!" After thanking me, I took the food in my hand and sat down next to the fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info waited for the others to clean up everything, sat around the campfire and had a quick bite to eat, and started chatting. Jiang Jiayi leaned over to Professor Hu's side, "Professor, I used a tablet to look up some legends about Chiyou on the way here, saying that he has eight legs, three heads and six arms, a copper head and an iron forehead, and is invulnerable. Is this true? Professor Hu used a branch to stir the burned branches in the fire, and replied with a smile, "That's just a man-made invention by later generations, don't take it seriously!" And the three-headed and six-armed theory is nothing more than a metaphor to reflect his bravery. "If you want to say that you girls have long hair and short knowledge, they all say that they are legends, how much content can be believed," Ouyang Ze interjected on the side. Just talk a lot, I hate it! Jiang Jiayi glared at Ouyang Ze dissatisfied, only to see Ouyang smiling wryly but not arguing with her anymore. Without further conversation, we assigned a tent, and nine people set up three tents, one for the three of us girls, and the others took turns to keep vigil except for Professor Hu, taking turns to rest.
At dawn the next day, we packed up our things, stored the car here, and followed Brother You to the mountain with all the things we needed. At the beginning, there were some people who artificially stepped on the sheep intestine path, and the more they walked to the back, the more difficult it became, and everyone no longer had the strength to chat, so they focused on their feet, for fear that one would accidentally fall off the cliff. After walking for more than two hours, Brother You motioned for us to stop in front of an axe-shaped cliff. Professor Hu stroked the sweat on his forehead and sighed, "The cliffs here are steep, why is this a tomb!" "50 miles west is Chi You's hometown, could it be that he is still a family lover, haha" Ouyang Ze quipped untimely, Jiang Jiayi glanced at him in disgust. Ji Xiang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, squatted down and rummaged in the weeds looking for something, and the guide You Clumsy said coldly, "The ancients superstitious believed that people's souls would not be extinguished after death, and they could transform into gods by flying up to the ninth layer of heaven to avoid the pain of reincarnation, so they were buried in a high place." Professor Hu nodded, "I see," Ji Xiang got up and whispered something in the professor's ear, and in an instant a hint of excitement flashed in the professor's eyes, and he instead ordered the two disciples to start opening the entrance. A few of us girls could not help with physical work, so we had to hide far away to rest temporarily, they tinkered for most of the day, and in the evening suddenly heard a "boom" sound, and blew open a one-person high hole, which beckoned us to follow.
I deliberately pretended to pick up the fallen things, walked at the back of the line, brushed aside the weeds, an inconspicuous corner of the cliff wall was carved with a pattern that looked like a cow's head and a sheep's head, just when I was puzzled, someone behind me suddenly spoke, which really startled me, "That's the cow's head totem of the Chiyou tribe," turned around and looked, I don't know when You Chuan retreated behind me, this guy walked without a sound? "Oh," I pretended to be casual and followed the group. Ox head totem? Professor Hu was just excited about this? A strange feeling arose in my heart, and I vaguely felt that the professor seemed to be hiding something from us.
The tomb is not as narrow as I imagined, but the walls are too simple and not as luxurious as those presented in some novels, film and television dramas. Walking cautiously all the way, Luo Hao made marks on the walls of the places we passed from time to time so as not to get lost inside. After walking for a long time, there was no light at the entrance, and suddenly there was a fork in the road ahead, and everyone did not dare to enter on their own, stopping and waiting for the professor to give orders, "Legend has it that after the Pangu clan became immortalized, its body organs turned into the sun, moon and stars, the four poles and five mountains, rivers and lakes and even all living beings, and among them, the two gods of the sun and the moon were transformed by his eyes, the sun is left, the moon is right, and it symbolizes yin and yang, so the folk have the custom of male left and female right" After that, the professor took the lead and walked to the tomb on the right. "In this case, the yang is on the left, why should the professor go to the right?" Zheng Jiayi followed like a student listening carefully. "Chi You lived in the period of the Five Emperors, and at that time, the society was a matriarchal clan, and women were respected, so the teacher felt that the tomb road on the right was the right choice for the direction leading to the main tomb." Luo Hao added on the side. "Since it is a matriarchal society, how can there be Chiyou, Yellow Emperor and others who are all chiefs and leaders of the tribe, isn't this contradictory?" While walking forward, Jiang Jiayi still asked shamelessly. "You don't understand this, right," Ouyang Ze said as he put his hand on Jiang Jiayi's shoulder triumphantly, "There is nothing wrong with the fact that the Yellow Emperor was indeed a matrilineal clan before, as the old saying goes, 'the son knows his mother, but he does not know his father', however, they are in the transition stage of turning to the patrilineal clan without completely overthrowing the matrilineal clan." It has only deprived it of political power, but it is still in the same state of thought and customs. "Get out" Jiang Jiayi angrily kicked Ouyang Ze's lower body, if he hadn't dodged quickly, I am afraid that his happiness in the future would have been explained like this. In the future, dare to stretch out your salty pig hand, believe it or not, the old lady will let you walk around without eating. Jiang Jiayi clenched her fists at Ouyang Ze, and the latter grinned like a scoundrel and made a gesture of surrender.
I touched the murals on the wall of the tomb, and the crude carvings all reflected the backwardness of human society at that time, and the humanoid patterns seemed to be kneeling together, presumably some kind of sacrificial activity at that time.
"Lu Ji...... Lu Ji ...... "Someone's call suddenly came from my ears, I stopped and looked, but the voice stopped abruptly, maybe it was the hallucination caused by the fatigue of the journey these days, turned around and faced You Clumsy's eyes, the four eyes were facing each other, but he closed his lips tightly and did not speak, the voice just now should not be him. Having settled down, I hurried to follow the group.
