Chapter 168: The Origin of the Strange Sheep

The expression on my face is enough to explain my inner thoughts at the moment, that is, I absolutely do not believe the ugly woman's words that this pig-bodied monster Romeo is a divine beast.

It's not just me, the fat head who has been speechless for a long time directly gave a simple and crisp "!" The word responds to the unreliable words of the ugly woman.

As for our attitude, the ugly girl ** didn't see it, but listened to her continue, "Romeo, an animal, has been recorded in the literature for a long time. ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard the ugly woman say this, don't forget that I am a student of history, and when I heard the ugly woman say this, I really vaguely remember that I had seen an animal like Romeo in some book.

It's just that...... What a book?

I kept my head down and tried to remember in some book I had seen about a monster like Romeo.

When the ugly woman saw me bowing her head and thinking, she opened her mouth and said, "Like a sheep but not a sheep, like a pig not a pig"

When the ugly woman said these words, I subconsciously followed them silently a few times.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred to me, and I remembered where I had seen a record of a similar pig-like sheep-like animal.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" (the Four Classics of the West) is contained.

It looks like a sheep but not a sheep, like a pig but not a pig

The earliest Chinese myth and legend, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, does record a strange-looking animal like Romeo, which is an animal named Yuan.

It's just that the book "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has mixed reviews in history, some say that it is a masterpiece that integrates various common knowledge of human geography and medicine, and some say that it is a witch book that is made up and spread rumors to confuse the public.

However, one thing is for sure, the strange animals described in it do not exist in the real world, and can only be regarded as myths and legends.

Just listening to the ugly woman's words just now, does she mean that this Romeo is the concubine recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"?

Instead, I remembered other records about the goddess in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Who, like a sheep is not a sheep, like a pig is not a pig, eats human brains in the ground, can speak, and can only kill it with a cypress branch inserted into its head

As I thought about this, I looked at Romeo at the ugly woman's feet.

This guy doesn't argue with Chen Hudan at the moment, he lowered his sheep's head and made a gloomy face, staring at me with a malicious look and baring his teeth.

I looked at its white fangs, and muttered "Eat human brains, can speak"

I gradually recalled the gray, fishy, stinky and sticky things in the corridor, Chen Hudan said to be the brains of dead pigs, and remembered that we were attracted by inexplicable human voices again and again.

I shouted with wide eyes.

"Impossible! How could this guy really exist! ”

"How could it be?" The ugly woman listened to my shouting, snorted, and asked coldly.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is just a mythological novel, how can the records on it be taken seriously? It's not scientific at all! I continued to glare and whispered.

Indeed, because the things recorded in the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" are too bizarre, many people do not believe the things recorded above, and even now they don't turn the information from the above when writing novels.

"Science?" The ugly woman said coldly.

"Is there still less in this world that cannot be explained by so-called science? Have you ever seen a three-headed, six-armed monster before? Have you ever seen a snake demon that can transform into a human form? ”

The ugly woman's weird rhetorical question suddenly left me speechless.

Yes, the existence of the three-headed corpse and the purple fox is indeed impossible to explain with science, and it is completely beyond the scope of science.

Not only that, but even the passage into the Hall of Dreams, the mirror-like entrance, cannot be explained by science, I have only seen that kind of scene in science fiction movies, but I didn't expect it to really exist in life.

For a moment, I couldn't refute what the ugly woman said, and I stared stupidly at Romeo at the ugly woman's feet for a long time.

"After talking for a long time, what the hell is this guy?"

Qu Fattou and Chen Hudan obviously didn't understand what I meant by what I said to the ugly woman, so they opened their mouths and asked.

Qu Fattou's inquiry brought me back to my senses, and I shook my head with a smack of my mouth and replied with a wry smile.

"According to what this sister said, Romeo, the pig-bodied monster, is really a divine beast."

"What's that?" Hearing my answer, Qu Fattou's eyes widened.

"Is this really a mythical beast?"

"What a divine beast?" Chen Hudan also glared at Wang Ba on the side, and asked me with a puzzled expression.

I also don't know how to define the term mythical beast, generally speaking, in ancient myths and legends, the word mythical beast is interpreted as a supernatural beast.

The appearance of the mythical beast can bring happiness to the world and dispel anger, so it is regarded as a symbol of good luck. The most typical representative is the unicorn pixiu and the like.

But the strange-looking pig body and sheep-headed Romeo in front of him, in addition to his strange appearance, there is no other magical place, even if it can speak people, it can't be regarded as magical, starling, parrots can also be trained to do so, you can't say that starlings parrots are also mythical beasts based on this, right?

Besides, if this Romeo is really the concubine recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", then this guy eats dead people's brains, and such a disgusting guy is indeed a bit too much to describe as a divine beast.

Come to think of it, the only thing that can stick to the word Romeo and the mythical beast is its rarity, at least so far, from ancient times to the present, I have never seen a real record of the goddess in the more formal literature and classics.

Romeo really fills that gap.

Moreover, from the current point of view, this Romeo is probably not young, it cannot be conceived in modern society, according to my inference, this pig monster Romeo probably originally lived in this underground world, and was only discovered by this ugly woman later.

I asked the ugly woman the question in my heart again, and the answer I got was exactly what I thought.

This is Romeo.

It is true that he has been living in this underground world until he was discovered later, Romeo has lived in this underground for thousands of years.

However, it was not an ugly woman who discovered it, but someone else

After the ugly woman said that there was someone else, she stopped talking again, and did not go any further.

I was intrigued at this time, and this "other person" was very important.

It is likely that the Taiji Palace and the Qingmeng Hall were also the first to be discovered by this "other person". In other words, this "other person" may know more about Xi Jing.

"Who first discovered this?" I didn't hide it, and asked the ugly woman directly.

When it comes to Xi Jing, I still don't have the patience to be so good. Once again, I asked the ugly woman about the details of the key person
