Chapter 089: A Story

The old man fell to his knees and begged me for mercy. Everyone is blinded.

Regarding the fact that I am a descendant of Nuwa Niangniang, Chen Zijing once talked about it, but I dare not agree.

Nuwa Niangniang is the ancestor of mankind and lived a long, long time ago. In this land of China, the change of dynasties and the integration of ethnic groups have been repeated, and there have even been many incidents of almost extinction of human beings. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, and although he made great achievements, the population loss reached 50%. From the Eastern Han Dynasty in 156 years through the Three Kingdoms period to 221 AD, the Chinese population dropped sharply from more than 50 million to 900,000 in one Jiazi period! From 1122 of the Jin Dynasty to 1274 of the early Yuan Dynasty, in 150 years, due to successive wars, the population dropped sharply from more than 90 million to more than 8 million, and the loss rate was 90 percent! In modern times, during the Taiping Rebellion, the population fell from 400 million to 200 million in just over a decade. Although the loss rate is only 50 percent, the number of deaths is as high as 200 million!

The ups and downs of the Chinese population in history, coupled with the transformation of the Chinese ethnic group into the Han nationality, as well as the integration of many ethnic minorities and multiple population migrations, pure Han Chinese have become extremely rare. So, how can there still be direct descendants of Nuwa Niangniang, who lived more than 9,000 years ago? They have long been lost in the long river of history and merged with other races.

What's more, it is a question of whether Nuwa and her contemporaries Pangu, Gonggong, Zhurong and others really exist in history.

Now, not only Chen Zijing recognizes me as a descendant of Nuwa Niangniang, but even this old man who has never met me even directly calls me Nuwa Niangniang, and when he sees me, he begs for mercy like a ghost. I just can't understand it.

I helped the old man up and said, "You get up first, what's going on? I'm not Nuwa Niangniang......

"No, you are!" said the old man stubbornly.

Sister Du stepped forward and said, "Old man, don't be afraid. We are all ordinary people with no malice. Let's go inside and you explain things slowly, okay?"

The old man looked at us and nodded in disbelief.

So, in this cave, I heard the following story.

This old man's name is Qiao Moshan, he is 68 years old, and his hometown is Handan, Hebei. In the early eighties of the last century, at the age of thirty-two, he was inexplicably recruited into the army and joined an expedition to the Qinling Mountains. There were ten people in the expedition, a team leader, a biologist, an archaeologist, a feng shui master, and a teenager. All that was left were four servicemen and Jomer Hill.

Along the way, Qiao Moshan followed everyone to stop and go, and didn't say much to each other, most of the time it was the feng shui master, holding some strange things, pointing at the surrounding mountains. These things, Qiao Moshan does not understand.

Qiao's family, where Qiaomoshan is located, is a local scholarly family, and the family education is very strict, so although Qiaomoshan has not been talented since he was a child,

But he is also a person who is rich in learning and has a deep literary background. During the Cultural Revolution, in order to avoid persecution, he went to the countryside early to the border between Northeast China and Mongolia. There, Qiao Moshan taught himself linguistics and had a profound study of the history of the development of the Chinese language. Therefore, he guessed that the fact that the expedition team was able to select him was because he took a fancy to his ability. ... ¥ Aiqi Literature Better, newer and faster

At that time, they walked in the Qinling Mountains for three months, sometimes around a mountain, and would turn around several times. Although Jomershan felt strange, he never asked. He knows what to ask and what not to ask. If they have a place to find themselves, they will certainly tell themselves.

Three months later, they came here. That's when the nightmare came.

First of all, a soldier, who stood guard at night and did not see a man until the next morning. Uneasy, they searched everywhere and finally found his body in a bush. He died a terrible death, the skin of his upper body was completely peeled off, a thin layer, all the way to his waist, and his whole body was bloody. His eyes were round, and because there was no skin on his face, he couldn't see the horror he had before he died.

The next night, as soon as they fell asleep, they were attacked by an unknown animal. Due to the suddenness of the incident, everyone hung up the lottery. When the attack was over, the kid ran to the captain in a panic and said, "We've disturbed the mountain god, and the mountain god is angry!"

But at that time, because the entrance to the ancient tomb had been found, the captain did not back down. That morning, they went straight to the tomb, and entered the tomb through a crack.

The route they walked was not much different from ours. They also encountered giant snakes and toads. However, these monsters did not wake up at that time, so Qiao Moshan and the others were very lucky not to be attacked.

However, in those dark room arrays, they happened to come across the sarcophagus. They carefully opened the sarcophagus, only to see a cloud of black gas rising into the sky, and the stench came to their nostrils, and everyone covered their noses to avoid it. At this time, Qiao Moshan and they were horrified to find that in the sarcophagus, a head slowly poked out, and then in everyone's surprised eyes, a dragon roared and rushed out of the sarcophagus. It hovered over everyone's heads, and finally landed next to the sarcophagus, watching them warily.

When Qiao Moshan saw the dragon at that time, his eyes almost popped out. Just like when we saw mushrooms, we couldn't understand that there really was a dragon in this world.

But what surprised Jommer even more was that the child, when he saw the dragon, exclaimed, and then jumped forward and whistled at the dragon a few times. Then, in the astonishment of everyone, the dragon jumped up to the child and snuggled its head into his arms like a wronged child.

This kid is also a dragon trainer, and he should be of the same family as Chen Zijing. I just don't know which one it is.

Just as the dragon and the child were rubbing, there was movement in the sarcophagus. A good-looking woman

, stood up from the coffin.

Because of her age, the clothes on her body, as she walked out of the coffin, all turned into a puff of smoke and dust, floating in the air. The dragon, immediately jumped forward and stood in front of her.

Qiao Moshan was completely stunned, he couldn't imagine that there could be a living person in the coffin in this ancient tomb that had existed for an unknown number of years! He looked at the woman, who was only in her thirties, but her face was like a thousand years of wind and frost, not angry but mighty, and her eyes looked at everyone majestically.

Under her gaze, Qiao Moshan suddenly felt a clear and peaceful heart, and he involuntarily knelt down. His kneeling was a kind of heartfelt bowing, an extremely pious bowing, just like a matter of course, and he knelt down naturally.

Jomershan knelt on the ground, he looked at the others, and everyone looked at the woman, and slowly knelt down.

At this time, the feng shui master prostrate on the ground and silently chanted, "Nuwa Niangniang, please save the world!"

Jomershan watched dumbfounded. Is this woman who came out of the coffin the legendary Nuwa Niangniang? Nuwa, but the legendary character who lived nearly 10,000 years ago, at that time, human beings had not yet been civilized, human civilization had not yet begun, and they lived a life of drinking blood. However, looking at the tombs around here, how can it be a giant tomb built by a group of uncivilized humans?

Qiao Moshan was still thinking about it, but when he saw Nuwa Niangniang in the mouth of the feng shui master, he stretched out his left hand and said a few words in his mouth.

But Qiao Moshan didn't understand a word. And Nuwa Niangniang also discovered this problem, looked around suspiciously, and then reached out to draw a cloud of smoke and wrapped herself.

She sat sideways on the dragon's back, and let out a crisp whistle from her mouth, and the dragon carried her to Jomershan and the others.

Nuwa Niangniang said a few more words, but everyone still didn't understand. However, she could guess that she wanted Qiao Moshan and the others to stand up. But Qiao Moshan looked at the people around him, he didn't mean to get up, and he didn't dare to move, so he obediently continued to kneel.

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Nuwa Niangniang stretched out her hand to everyone.

Qiao Moshan only felt a warm current rise from under his knees, as if a pair of hands lifted himself up, and then he couldn't help but stand up straight.

Maybe Nuwa Niangniang didn't expect that she and the people in front of her didn't understand the language. After hesitating for a while, he began to learn to speak with Qiao Moshan and the others.

In the next few days, Qiao Moshan and the others learned each other's languages with Nuwa Niangniang here. To everyone's surprise, this Nuwa Niangniang's learning ability is extremely strong, and at the beginning, because she had to adapt to the other party's way of speaking and guess the meaning of the voice, the two sides were evenly matched, and the progress was very slow. But three days later, Nuwa Niangniang had the opportunity to learn a sentence, and even began to communicate with Qiao Moshan and others in simple language.

Through Nuwa Niangniang's expression, Qiao Moshan and others learned about a battle between heaven and earth in ancient times

。 The two sides of the battle are the gods and the ghosts of the earth, and the battlefield is on earth. That battle destroyed the world and destroyed the glorious civilization that mankind had developed over thousands of years, all of which were destroyed in that war. In the heavens, on earth, and underground, a full-scale war broke out, and various races, in order to seize living space, fought fiercely, and any means and all tricks were used without scruples. In the event of a conflict, everything around it becomes a sea of fire, in which humans simply have nowhere to hide. At the same time, countless species in the world have suddenly launched attacks on highly developed human civilization, also with the aim of expelling human beings and grabbing the territory of survival.

Before this battle between heaven and earth, there had been friction between the gods and the ghosts. It's just that because the two sides are evenly matched, they have been in a stalemate. This stalemate is a thousand years. Despite the constant conflict between the two sides, neither of them could defeat the other, and both sides maintained great restraint.

In this way, it is the human beings of the world who suffer. Humans not only have to avoid the war between heaven and earth, but also have to beware of the sneak attacks of all the species around them. As a result, the number of human beings declined rapidly, and the human race was almost on the verge of extinction. In the end, the humans who escaped death gathered together to survive, struggling to maintain the last trace of human blood.
