Chapter 94: The Mural
Since he couldn't guess it, Sieg simply didn't bother to guess, so let's take one step at a time.
Sieg also walked to the edge of the wall at this moment, staring at the mural above. These frescoes have been handed down from ancient times to the present day, and because they are well preserved, you can barely see the contents on them, which is a good way to understand the owner of this tomb.
Generally speaking, most ethnic civilizations have the habit of recording their own history, especially this kind of underground tomb, which takes the memory of their life very seriously.
At the beginning of the mural, a black snake with huge wings towers between heaven and earth, a pair of dark green eyes staring coldly at the world.
Then the rolling darkness swept in, and the whole world seemed to fall into an endless abyss, the sun sank forever, never rose again, and the cold night never ended.
Under the erosion of various dark negative energy, the people of this world began to mutate in large numbers, people's teeth became sharp, their bodies grew taller and taller, and layers of scale armor appeared on their bodies.
Not only the appearance, but also the heart of the person began to be eroded by darkness.
Killings continue everywhere, and people can do anything unthinkable in order to survive.
The chaos and turmoil continued for many years, and finally one day, a young man appeared.
On a large mural in the center, the young man holds a staff aloof, using the folds of space to strangle the giant feathered serpent to death.
The flesh of the Feathered Serpent was torn apart by the folds of space, and blood splattered down and splattered all over the young man's body.
In the frescoes that follow, the young man sits high on a throne and establishes a new kingdom and a new order.
The chaos seems to be over.
Since then, however, he has maintained an insurmountable distance from his subjects.
In one of the murals, the young man is looking coldly at the people prostrate at his feet, and seems to have changed his appearance.
In order to maintain his rule, he instituted the harshest laws and the most cruel punishments. These murals vividly depict many cruel punishments, and those who look at them frown.
There are waist cuts, there are decapitations, and there are hearts and lungs.
There was a strange punishment that made Seeger pay special attention, and it was a punishment of extreme cruelty.
The prisoner is first soaked in a potion that appears to have the effect of sealing the soul. After soaking for a while, the prisoner was wrapped in a large number of white bandages to resemble a mummy.
In this way, the sealed medicinal properties will bind the prisoner's soul to this body forever. The prisoner will watch his corpse decompose, stinking and never be able to go to the underworld.
They could not kill themselves, nor could they be killed by ordinary weapons, and remained in this state as if they were the living dead.
At this time, the physical body is no longer a breeding ground for the soul, but has become a prison that binds the soul.
In this way, this young man was feared by everyone, feared, and worshipped as a god and demon.
......
"The story of the brave and the dragon. Seeger stared at the murals on the walls on either side, and suddenly remembered a dark fairy tale he had heard as a child.
It is said that there was an evil dragon in a kingdom who did all kinds of evil, and he took the beautiful princess and plundered the wealth of the whole country, which made the heavens angry and resentful.
But the dragon is so powerful that no one can deal with it.
At this time, a brave brave man stepped forward, he climbed over the mountains, through the swamps, and after many hardships to the top of the snow-capped mountains where the evil spirits lived.
After a battle, the dragon finally died under the sword of the brave, but the blood gushing out of the dragon also poured the brave man's body.
Later, the long-lost peace was finally restored to the country, and the brave man was respected and loved by everyone, and married a beautiful princess and inherited the throne of the king.
If the story ends here, it will be a typical fantasy fairy tale, but there is a follow-up to the version that Seeger has heard......
One day, the brave man woke up to find that strange layers of scale armor began to appear on his body, and his fingernails seemed to become sharp.
At first, the brave didn't care much, but as time went by, the brave gradually became bigger and bigger, his whole body was covered with scales, his minions became extremely sharp, and his temper became more and more irritable.
The brave man also seemed to sense that this was not good, and he tried to control his emotions, closing himself off and no longer seeing people easily. Every day, he talked to the ministers through a door to deal with political affairs, and it lasted for more than half a year......
Until one day, a servant accidentally broke into the room of the brave, and then found out in horror that there was still a handsome brave man in the room, replaced by an ugly dragon.
"After all, the brave man has become the person he hates the most. Sieg shook his head, there have been too many such heroes turned demons in history, and he has long been surprised.
The young man on the mural is probably such a typical example, when he saved the world and stood at the top, he also began to gradually corrupt and evolve towards a tyrant......
The crowd walked down the dark aisle, and the narrative on the mural continued.
Everything is starting to recover, the darkness is receding, and everything is evolving for the better.
Finally, time passed, and the young man grew old, and he lay on his throne, as if he might die at any moment. And his people were no longer afraid of him, and his men were ready to move.
One day, however, a black-faced man suddenly appeared in front of the old monarch, whose face was not clear, but he told the old king that he had the ability to foresee the future and could see what would happen after his death.
The subsequent mural seems to have deliberately omitted something, and there is a noticeable interruption in the plot.
No one knew what the black-faced man had said to the old monarch, but after that, the old monarch began to build his burial palace on a large scale.
When Sieg saw this, he was stunned for a long time, and he instinctively felt a little weird.
Sure enough, when the aisle turns a corner, the style of the mural begins to gradually become obscure.
The frescoes do not record what the old monarch and the black-faced man said, but soon a large burial palace began to be built, countless slaves were whipped to labor, and a large number of boulders and earth were continuously transported to the center of the royal capital.
Soon after, the burial dungeon was built, the remains of the monarch were placed in it, and the frescoes gradually dissipated, as if they had come to an abrupt end.
Just when a few people thought that this was all there was to the mural, the tomb in front of them suddenly opened up, and a wide space appeared. It was a large room, and several people saw it and hurriedly walked over.
"Be careful, everybody, I always think there's something strange here. A hint of doubt flashed across Alan's handsome face.
After hearing Alan's words, Joanna nodded in agreement.
Several people entered the room on guard, and found that there was also a small mural painted on the wall of the empty room, which seemed to supplement the large mural from before.
It's just that after a few people saw the content of the mural, they were completely discolored.
Some of the blurry murals depict such a strange picture. It is said that after countless years, the dusty underground palace was opened again, and six young people came to the gate of the underground palace and stood in front of the bronze gate.
These six people, five men and one woman!
