238. Initiation
Feng Mengyao stood up with great difficulty, it seemed that even if she stopped the bleeding with the fox pill, her injuries had not healed.
I quickly hugged her.
"Did you show your true identity and fight with that Lu Wu just now? Why don't you just run away at that time? I really don't know the current affairs, how can a fox be an opponent of a tiger? I sighed.
"I don't want to fight with it, but I chased Meng Xun into that room, and the moment I entered the door, I saw that Meng Xun had already fallen into Lu Wu's mouth." Feng Mengyao sighed.
After hearing this, Meng Yao's body shook violently.
"Then did you save Meng Xun......" I asked Feng Mengyao tentatively.
Feng Mengyao shook her head, saying that she herself was injured like this, and she had done her best, but Lu Wu was too fierce.
I turned my head to look at Meng Yao, she lowered her eyes, but she didn't shed tears, probably from beginning to end, she didn't think that Meng Xun was her father!
It's pointless to think about it now, Meng Xun is dead, and we can't ask him about the secrets of Nest City, so we can only continue to explore with our own eyes.
"What about Huang Shang? Leave him alone? I asked.
"Regardless of him, his skills are better than mine, and he is so smart, he should be able to avoid the danger here, anyway, his purpose is to find that box, and we will definitely meet there in the end." Feng Mengyao said.
I nodded, what Feng Mengyao said made sense, and then I continued on the edge of the cliff, looking for a way to the opposite side.
After searching for a long time, we finally found a narrow stone bridge, barely enough for two people to cross side by side.
After crossing the stone bridge and entering the thick fog, our pace slowed down, for fear of being attacked by some monster in the thick fog.
But until we stepped off the stone bridge, we were all safe and sound.
The fog was still thick all around, and we could only see three paces in front of us.
After groping for a while, Meng Yao said that she had found a stone sculpture over there.
Feng Mengyao and I hurriedly approached and saw that the stone carving was the appearance of a cow.
It's just an ordinary cow, without any abnormality, compared with the various terrible beasts we saw before, it really makes people a little trance.
And ten meters away from the stone carved cow, there is a stone carving of a horse.
"What do these two statues mean?" Feng Mengyao asked me.
"The ancients believed that the ox and the horse represent the earth and the sky respectively, but these two stone carvings, the meaning is not so, I am afraid that we have come to the face of the truth, continue to move forward, see if there are other chickens, dogs, sheep and pigs four stone carvings." I say.
The three of us continued to walk forward, and sure enough, we found the four stone sculptures one after another, about ten meters apart from each other, arranged in a zigzag.
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought." I muttered.
"What do you mean by these stone carvings of animals?" Feng Mengyao looked at me.
"It is widely said in the land of China that Nuwa made things in seven days, making chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, pigs on the third day, sheep on the fourth day, cattle on the fifth day, and horses on the sixth day." I say.
"What about the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? What was created? Feng Mengyao asked puzzled.
I didn't rush to answer, but let Feng Mengyao guess.
"There's a row of steps, and above the steps, it's like a temple building." Meng Yao, who was standing at the front, shouted at us.
"I don't want to guess, just say it." Feng Mengyao looked at me.
"Man was created." I say.
Feng Mengyao's body shook.
"Let's go into the temple and see what is going on with the origin of our human race." I patted Feng Mengyao on the shoulder.
Once inside the temple, the first thing that caught our attention was the murals on the walls.
We looked at the murals one by one, and the first picture, almost everyone had seen it.
A woman of great stature sat there, and the mountains around her were much shorter than those of her.
The woman's appearance looked kind, but the lower half of her body was dragging a long snake tail.
Around her, there are countless little people, cheering around her.
"It is the story of Nuwa creating people, but all Chinese know this legend." I say.
"But how did Nuwa make it? Is it really pinched with mud? There is no explanation on this mural. Meng Yao said.
"Go see the mural in the back." I say.
We came to the front of the second mural, which was much more informative, and I looked at it for a long time before I could sort it all out.
It depicts all kinds of natural disasters, the sky is falling apart, and there are all kinds of terrifying birds of prey and fierce beasts running rampant, those human people created by Nuwa are struggling to survive, and Nuwa has two other guys who are also with snake tails, who are protecting those humans.
The two people with snake tails were both men, and one of them held hands with Nuwa, proving that they were probably husband and wife.
Nuwa and the three of them, while protecting those humans, looked up in the same direction, with resentment in their eyes.
And the place they are looking at is the most impactful and shocking part of this mural.
In the upper left corner of the mural, there is also a half-human, half-snake guy, flying above the sky, looking down on the scene of human beings, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
The difference between this guy and Nuwa is that he has three cyan eyes on his face.
I looked at it again and found that he was the guy at the top of the "food chain" mural.
Judging from the content depicted in the mural, he and Nuwa belong to the same race, but they are the more evil ones, which makes the human beings miserable, and he is the initiator.
"I don't know what this guy's true identity is, but he should be the evil god sealed behind the huge black stone gate under the land of eternal night, and he is also the guy worshipped by the snow plums." I thought to myself.
Immediately, we moved on to the third mural.
Compared to the first two, the details of this mural are a little rougher, but because of the information of the previous two pictures, I can understand it at a glance.
Nuwa and the three gods of justice, who protect mankind, came to the door of a building, and there was a strange beast guarding in front of the door, a monster with a human face and a tiger body and nine tails.
And Feng Mengyao, who had just fought with this monster, must have recognized it immediately.
"It's Lu Wu! This building is the Heavenly Emperor's Garden! Feng Mengyao said.
I nodded, and walked over to the front of the fourth mural.
In this mural, the three of them have each taken out something from the Heavenly Emperor's Garden, which is not in the world.
In Nuwa's hand is a colorful stone.
Without any hesitation, this is the legendary multicolored stone, and on this mural, Nuwa is also like in the well-known story of "Nuwa mends the sky", using multicolored stones to make up for the sky collapse.
The snake-tailed man who had been holding hands with Nuwa before, holding a strange picture full of black and white dots in each hand, was teaching those who were tormented by the calamity.
I touched my chin and deduced that this snake-tailed man was Fu Xi, who was both Nuwa's brother and Nuwa's husband, and the things he took out from the Heavenly Emperor's Garden were Hetu and Luoshu.
Now, he is supposed to be teaching the people gossip and divination, so that they can avoid the threat of disasters and beasts and save their lives.
And the last snake tail man has already flown into the sky and fought against the three-eyed evil god!
All around him, there was a burning fire!
"This person took the flame from the Heavenly Emperor's Garden, which should not have been in the world!" I said in a trembling voice.
"And who is he? The legendary god of fire, Zhu Rong? Meng Yao asked.
"No, he's the father of the Suiren clan, Nuwa and Fuxi." I say.
I carefully combed through these four pictures, and it was probably a cliché story of a clan fight, and I don't know the reason for the fight, but Nuwa is on the side of the human race, so from my point of view, I must regard them as the righteous side.
I desperately want to know how this battle will turn out, if nothing else, it should be that the Suiren clan defeated the evil gods, and Nuwa and them won, otherwise we humans would not have lived until now.
Immediately, I turned around and went to the other side of the temple to look at the fifth fresco.
In an instant, my eyeballs were going to fall.
Nuwa They...... Actually lost?
The Suiren clan was killed by the three-eyed evil god, and many humans were imprisoned and raised by the evil god.
And the people of Nuwa's race seem to feed on the souls of living beings, so the three-eyed evil god created many monsters with the body of beasts and the stinging bee with human faces to help take care of the lives of those people.
I stared at the mural, where humans like me, trapped in cages, mated and given birth to offspring, then processed by the stinging bees and human-faced monsters, and finally brewed into a multicolored soul liquid that was sent to the mouth of the evil god and his men.
These pictures are so shocking that I seem to see those pigs passing through the assembly line of the slaughterhouse, being slaughtered one by one and made into various ingredients.
It's just that the protagonist has become us humans.
This huge impact made my spirit almost collapse.
I went to look at the sixth picture, and after the death of the Suiren clan, Nuwa and Fuxi hid with the rest of the humans.
On the mural, Fu Xi is divining on the river Tuluoshu, as if trying to find a way to defeat the three-eyed evil god.
And the result of divination is a human form.
If I just look at this figure, I can't understand the meaning of this divination, but on the mural, Fu Xi's finger is pointing at those humans who survived, and Fu Xi's expression is solemn, as if to say: "Only you can save your own life."
My curiosity intensified, and I hurried to see the seventh mural.
On this mural, in addition to Fuxi and Nuwa, there are two more monsters with snake bodies and human faces, but they look different from Nuwa's people, their bodies are larger, and their appearance is more ugly and hideous, closer to the appearance of snakes than people.
These two snake-faced guys, the roots of the snake's tail, both have a meat hole, and from that meat hole, a steady stream of naked humans gush out.
The white giant basilisk gives birth to a woman, and the black giant basilisk gives birth to a man.
"These are the two protectors of Nuwa, the black male is Teng Snake, and the white female is Bai Qi, which are recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Chu Ci". I say.
And Nuwa created these two Dharma protectors to create infinite human beings with maximum efficiency, probably to use the tactics of a sea of people, ants to bite the elephant to death, to defeat the evil god.
In this way, the final eighth mural is the scene of mankind defeating the three-eyed evil god.
I moved to the front of the eighth mural, and my eyes froze! The head is empty too!
"This ...... How could the ending of the story be such a huge reversal? ”
I felt that all the fears I had experienced before, the shock of the structure of the preconceived notions of the world, were not as strong as they are now.
