Chapter 46: Phoenix Totem

When I saw these crystals forming a phoenix pattern, I was so surprised that my pupils couldn't focus, but I knew that the phoenix was not real. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old lady Chen said that someone saw the phoenix nirvana in the death valley of Kunlun Mountain, maybe it was just an illusion to see, and sometimes, some strange scenes can always be formed in a specific place because of the refraction and reflection of light.

The second uncle looked at the scene formed by those purple crystals, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that these crystals are not only the mechanism of the coffin, but also such a magic, it's really wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

We were all stunned, I really didn't expect a seemingly simple design to have such a magical effect, so we all sighed.

Abu still didn't seem to understand, and even said, "Isn't it just a chicken?" What are you excited about? ”

"Oh my God, that's a phoenix, what a chicken is not a chicken!" I said to Abu helplessly, but then I thought to myself: "It's not in vain to explain to Abu, and next time he will definitely forget about it, he has nothing else in his eyes except the Ming Weapon." So I didn't go on and say more.

"Phoenix? It sounds like that, but it looks like a rooster! Abu said again.

After listening to Abu say this, if the ancients in these coffins used the phoenix as a totem, it is estimated that the coffin board could not be covered, and Abu had to be torn apart.

What a sacred thing he said turned out to be a rooster, he didn't say it's okay, this said, when I turned my eyes back to the crystal phoenix pattern, I suddenly felt for a moment that the phoenix shape was a bit like a rooster, Abu This is really dragging people into the water without being responsible.

I couldn't do anything about him, and when I heard him say this, I had to emphasize loudly: That's a phoenix! Not chickens! "At the same time, try to get yourself out of Abu's misdirection just now, otherwise I will always think it is a rooster.

"Okay, Phoenix, I remember your brother Bu, don't be so loud, really, young people don't have such a big temper!" Abu smirked at me and said, I really don't want to reply to him now, talking to him is completely desperate, as if he has experienced many vicissitudes himself.

As for the phoenix, it is the king of birds in ancient Chinese mythology and legend, and it is the totem of the Chinese nation together with the dragon. However, the so-called phoenix nirvana comes from the artistic creation of modern literati.

So the phoenix is not real, but maybe someone has seen this kind of illusion, so this kind of story was evolved, and later many types of phoenixes were also produced under the influence of foreign civilizations.

The phoenix in front of us, under the embellishment of those purple crystals, does not seem to be just a simple phoenix, it is more like a purple fire around it, and the flames are modified by those purple crystals, which are dazzling under the illumination of the light.

And this shape is like the legendary fire phoenix, is a kind of phoenix, ancient China did not have a fire phoenix, are from some ancient legends.

As for the origin of the fire phoenix, one theory is that this legend existed under the influence of foreign civilizations, and some people believe that ancient Egypt was the homeland of the fire phoenix, and in ancient Egypt, the phoenix was called the immortal firebird.

The immortal firebird, according to legend, this beautiful and lonely bird that grows in the Arabian desert burns itself into embers every 500 years, and then regenerates from the ashes, and the cycle is endless, becoming immortal, so the effect of the dust beads may come from this, in fact, this situation is also called phoenix nirvana in China.

There is also another theory that when the phoenix is baptized by the flames, it may or may not be reborn from the ashes, and once the rebirth fails, it will disappear forever, and at the same time, it will also disappear with the phoenix gall, and the phoenix gall is a bead of dust.

The legend of the fiery phoenix was transmitted from Egypt to China a long time ago, but in China, the legend is even more beautiful.

Another theory is that the fire phoenix comes from Jingzhou in ancient China, from a part of Chu culture, legend has it that the Chu country has a big flood one year, rainfall for three consecutive months, covering the sky and the sun, and the floods up and down the country are serious, the people are miserable, and there is a huge crisis of survival.

The monarch of Chu asked someone to set up an altar to worship the sun, praying for the sun to rise as soon as possible, but what he didn't expect was that the hateful oolong was still raining, and the monarch ordered the warriors of the world to crusade against the evil oolong, but they were all defeated and eaten by the oolong.

Later, a strategist said that there was a Phoenix Mountain in the east of the Chu State, and there was a sacred bird on the mountain called the Fire Phoenix.

The monarch and the strategist of the state of Chu asked the fire phoenix to eliminate the demon in the world, the fire phoenix was obliged to remove the demon in advance, the fire phoenix and the oolong battle did not distinguish the winner for 7749 days, the fire phoenix could only sacrifice himself in the end, burn his heart and fight with the oolong, and finally the fire phoenix and the oolong turned into ashes at the same time, and the state of Chu was able to see the light of day again.

In order to commemorate the fire phoenix, the people of Chu built a fire phoenix altar on Phoenix Mountain, and later the Phoenix altar was gone, but Phoenix Mountain was still there.

These are probably the two legends about the origin of the fire phoenix, and the phoenix gall is the legendary dust bead.

My father also understood this, and saw that the three people of the mountain viper and Qianyu were still behind, and did not follow, and suddenly whispered to us: "If the owner of this tomb really regards the phoenix as a totem, then maybe we can really get some clues!" ”

When my father finished speaking, even the young master and the second uncle nodded, it seems that this crystal phoenix graphic represents a lot of things.

The second uncle also said: "There should be something at the end of this bridge, be careful when the time comes, hold the shovel and knife in your hands, this flashlight can't shine on the head, and I don't know how long it is." ”

I also responded: "Yes, just look at so many coffins, it seems that the owner of this tomb is also a cruel stubble!" ”

"Leave it alone, let's talk about it." Suddenly, the master said.

"Abu, tell the next three to hurry up, and tell them that if they don't follow, they will go their own way!" The second uncle looked back at Qianyu and said to Abu.

Abu let out a light "um", turned his head to face the Thousand Rain Mountain Viper and the entourage, and said, "Hey, you three go quickly!" We're going to go first! ”

When the viper heard Abu calling them, he replied impatiently: "Go, go, would it be difficult to die without you?" After speaking, the viper slowed down, as if he was answering Abu's words with actions.

Abu turned around indifferently and said to the second uncle: "He said that he doesn't need to follow us!" ”

"Hear me! Leave them alone, let's go! The second uncle replied.

It's just that this mountain viper is really shameless, obviously it followed us into the tomb, and now it pretends to be high and not follow us, I thought to myself: "There is only one fucking bridge here, if you don't follow us, will you stand here and wait for death?" ”

Before I could think about it, the mountain viper had already been said a few words by Qianyu and continued to follow.

"I said, there's no way they won't follow!" I whispered.

We don't care about Qianyu and them, we just want to walk to the other side of the bridge, so I don't know how long I walked, the phoenix pattern formed by the crystal is already difficult to see, and when we look back, it is no longer the phoenix pattern, there are no standard rules at all.

And as we walked around the coffin around the left and right in the middle of the bridge, the crystals suddenly became brighter, and then they all shot purple light upwards, converging into a dazzling purple point of light high above our heads.
