Chapter Twenty-Six, Third Night: Déjà vu

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment. The heart said that you know him, he is your second uncle?

The stuffy oil bottle then said something, and I immediately realized that I had misunderstood, and he said, "These eight horses...... This person is King Mu of Zhou. ”

"King Zhou Mu? is the one who wrote "The Biography of Mu Tianzi"? ”

I am also very familiar with the legend of Mu Tianzi, before the group of people often mentioned, the legend of Mu Tianzi mainly records that King Mu of Zhou led the seven elite people, driving on the red Ji, thief Li, Baiyi, over the wheel, Shanzi, Qu Huang, Hua Liu, green ears and other horses, by the father to drive the car, Bo Yao as a guide, starting from Zong Zhou, crossing Zhangshui, through Hezong, Yangxu Mountain, Qunyu Mountain and other places, as for the state of the West Queen Mother, and the West Queen Mother feasting and drinking.

In other words, he traveled to the West Queen Mother Palace on eight horses, and was warmly entertained by the Queen Mother of the West at that time.

However, judging from the relief, this Mu Tianzi does not seem to be here for tourism, is the legend wrong, King Zhou Mu did come to the West Queen Mother Country back then, but he came to fight?

I immediately continued to look at the reliefs, and the next painting made me gasp, only to see that King Zhou Mu's army entered a palace, and there were many snake-headed women on the picture, and they poured something into the hole of the tower, and then countless cockscomb snakes crawled out of the tower and tore together with King Zhou Mu's army.

Seeing this, I immediately understood the meaning of these stone towers in the rainforest: "It seems that King Zhou Mu did attack here back then, but was defeated by the poisonous snakes here, probably in order to cover up his defeat, he made up that story, these poisonous snakes protected the Western Queen Mother Country, no wonder they would raise this snake as a god." It's like the Manchus don't kill crows. ”

After thinking about it, I felt that it was more than that, looking at these stone towers must be connected, the snake lives in the passage under the city, and is fed by people with human heads, and when it encounters danger, it uses something to lure the snake out to meet the enemy, this is a designed defense method, this snake is so venomous, and fast, no one can stop it.

That is to say, man lives in the city, and the serpent lives under the city, and now that all the people are dead, the serpent goes to the earth. The civilization of the Queen Mother of the West is more similar to that of the Amazons, where piranhas are used to defend against enemies and beasts, and they also sacrifice piranhas, using living people and live animals, and here using human heads.

Further back, the more we look, the more complex our inferences become. The concept of this place gradually became clear in my mind.

In the middle of the night, the sight of the stuffy oil bottle stopped, and saw the most central part of the stone wall, where a huge archetypal pattern was carved in relief, which was obviously the central part of the composition of the whole rock carving. It is carved with a scene of a huge snake surrounded by many small cockscomb snakes fighting each other. Among them, the giant snake was wrapped around a huge tree, and the cockscomb snake was wrapped around it like a decorative pattern.

"This is the kind of double-scaled python and the cockscomb snake here fighting, it seems that during the period of the Queen Mother of the West, there were already two kinds of snakes here, and this double-scaled python may be the natural enemy of this cockscomb snake." I said.

The stuffy oil bottle touched the stone carving, and shook his head: "No, this is copulation." ”

"Mating?" I was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible, and after thinking about it, I realized what he meant: "You mean, the cockscomb snake and this two-scaled python are mating in a mixed breed?" However, these are two completely different snakes, and the size difference is so big, how can they mate. ”

"Do you know what a bustard is?" The stuffy oil bottle asked me suddenly.

"Bustard?" I was puzzled, and my heart said why he suddenly asked this: "The old bustard is the one who opened the jì courtyard." ”

"That's a kind of joking, the bustard is actually a kind of bird, in ancient times, some people found that the bustard, this kind of bird, only females, no males, they want to reproduce, can mate with any other species of birds, for the wife of ten thousand birds, so people use this to call the jì woman who is as good as possible." The stuffy oil bottle said lightly. "However, in fact, the ancients' statement about the bustard is completely wrong, the bustard actually has a male bird, but this kind of bird, their male and female individual differences are too great, the male bird is several times larger than the female bird, so it is mistaken for two different birds."

I understood what he said, and immediately understood what it meant, "So, do you think that these two snakes are actually one kind of snake, but the two xìng have two different body types, so which one do you say is a male snake and which one is a female snake?" ”

"According to the quantitative analysis, the small snake should be a male snake, and the large snake should be a female snake, but it is also possible to do the opposite." He touched the surface of the rock, and suddenly stretched out his long fingers to touch the giant tree pattern at the moment when the double-scaled python was entwined. "Strange."

"What's wrong?" I touched it too, but I couldn't figure it out. Just looking at him, he frowned, suddenly took a few steps back, picked up the charcoal, and painted the unpainted parts above and below the relief.

The relief on the whole stone wall was presented, and I took a step back to look, and the moment I saw the panorama, I opened my mouth wide and froze.

I saw on the relief, the giant tree entwined by the double-scaled giant snake, from a distance, it was not a tree at all, but a larger snake coiled into a circle, this snake was too big, the double-scaled giant snake was like chopsticks and a rolling pin compared to him, and those cockscomb snakes were simply toothpicks, so when looking at the part, it was impossible to see that it was a snake.

"It's... What is this? Dragons? I was dumbfounded. The two-scaled serpent was already huge, this snake was so much bigger than it, wasn't it the same diameter as a liberation truck, could this kind of thing still be considered a snake?

The stuffy oil bottle looked at it in a daze, didn't speak, and touched the patterns of those cockscomb snakes one by one with his hands, and touched them for a while before he said: "You see, these little snakes are not coiled on this brocade python, they just huddle on the brocade python to help it not slide down, and what is really mating is this brocade python and this giant snake......"

I immediately went to see that he touched the coiled lines of those small snakes, and sure enough, I found that the little snakes were only entangled with each other, and not coiled on the python's body, and the python was tightly coiled on the giant snake, I was surprised, and suddenly realized something, took a breath of cold air and said: "My God, the fat man is right!" ”
