Chapter 1: Origins
The spring rain in March continued, and it rained for five or six days in a row, and the two days were finally clear; the sun was shining, the breeze was caressing, and as the weather warmed, people took off their thick cotton clothes, happily changed into light jackets and T-shirts, and lived happily in the sunshine and breeze, and the warm sunshine and light breeze were really very pleasant! Of course, this kind of pleasant weather is also a good season for tourism, although it is said to be in a transnational state, but the good weather is also continuing in various places and even countries......
At this time, the loud and lively sound kept ringing......
"This is the ruins of the famous Delpe Sun Temple in Greece, please take a look......" The beautiful tour guide lady enthusiastically explained to the onlookers. Although the crowd in the crowd is diverse, some are listening carefully to her explanation, some are looking around, and of course, there are also whispers......
However, these gestures did not hinder the enthusiasm of the tour guide, although her explanation attracted the attention of many people and diverted the attention of many people, she still explained this ancient building with various mythological meanings in standard Mandarin with a smile on her face.
"The ruins of the Temple of the Sun can be said to be all over the world, including: the Temple of the Sun in Egypt, the Temple of the Sun in Konak, the Temple of the Sun in Turkey, the Temple of the Sun in Cusco, the Temple of the Sun in Balbec, the Temple of the Maya, the Temple of the Sun in Delphi, the Temple of Stonehenge in England. And where we are now is the famous temple of the sun in Delphi, Greece......"
Along with the commentary, the tourist crowd also nodded frequently, and then brought a clear expression. Then quite a few people took out their cameras, and then all kinds of flashes kept coming on. Only a young man at the end of the line sighed speechlessly as he looked at the crowd of tourists taking pictures in front of him...... Because, he saw a big sign next to it, which said, 'No photography'!
The tour guide looked at this situation, raised her beautiful eyebrows, but did not make a persuasion, as if she was used to it, with a slightly helpless expression, she only continued to explain, "The ruins of the Sun Temple can be said to be all over the world, including: Egyptian Sun Temple, Konark Sun Temple, Turkish Sun Temple, Cusco Sun Temple, Balbec Sun Temple, Mayan Sun Temple, Delphi Sun Temple, British Stonehenge. And where we are now, is the famous temple of the sun in Delphi, Greece...... "Her voice is very enthusiastic, but how many people's attention is on her...?
Of course, the tour guide is very beautiful, and the natural one who is accompanied by relatives is to look around at the scenery, and the individual youth without relatives looks at the tour guide's firm chest and straight buttocks with the corner of his eye. The young man who sighed was also among them, generally observing while touching his chin, speculating on the bust and hips of this beautiful tour guide, and at the same time the corners of his mouth made a lewd 'tsk' exclamation, I don't know if he was lamenting the environment or something else......
Yang Ruizhe looked at the surrounding environment, in this huge building with a mythological atmosphere, in this exotic civilization world that is different from that born of Chinese mythology, it gives people a surprising sense of curiosity. This unique architecture also made Yang Ruizhe take back the presumptuous gaze that was originally placed on the tour guide, and began to seriously look at the surrounding environment, after all, he was here for sightseeing.
Greece, one of the origins of Western mythology. Come to think of it, these buildings with special significance are the same as some of China's disappearing and mythical famous mountains and monuments, such as the legendary Kunlun Mountain and Shennongjia......
Yang Ruizhe raised his eyes and looked at the dilapidated buildings around him, the few pillars that stood on the ground like burning sticks, and a feeling of distant vicissitudes came to his face. This is just Yang Ruizhe's first feeling, as for whether other people are like this, Yang Ruizhe doesn't know. But seeing the performance of other tourists who were a little stunned, I think they also empathize.
"Many people may not understand why Stonehenge in England belongs to the Sun Temple column since it is called Stonehenge. At first, Yang Ruizhe was also very puzzled, since it was called Stonehenge, why was it associated with these sun temples.
In fact, the so-called Stonehenge is also known as the Salisbury Stone Ring, the Ring Column, the Sun Temple, the Prehistoric Stone Table, the Stone Fence, the Stokken Standing Stone Circle, etc., that is, the two belong to the same origin. Hearing the other party's follow-up explanation, Yang Ruizhe nodded with a clear expression, "It turns out that there is such a thing in the middle, which can be regarded as a long insight." ’
In fact, Yang Ruizhe's knowledge level is not very bad, after graduating from school, relying on his own hard work and hard work, Yang Ruizhe mixed a good position in a large enterprise. Because this job is sometimes free, Yang Ruizhe reads all kinds of books when he has nothing to do, world history, world mythology, as well as online novels and anime, which are all good pastimes. And this time, he took advantage of the country's fixed holiday to travel abroad for himself to see all kinds of customs and customs abroad.
When people talk about Greece, the first thing that comes to mind is Greek mythology, the goddess of wisdom, Athena, the god of beauty, Ares, the god of war, Zeus and Hera, the god queen, which is also the relationship between Yang Ruizhe's choice to travel to Greece. The moment he set foot on Greek soil, Yang Ruizhe wanted to see the existence of these legends.
Of course, Yang Ruizhe still admires Zeus, the god king of unrestrained law. Although he is not ashamed of the other party's behavior, compared to himself who is still a single, Yang Ruizhe is also very envious, relying on his own strength, he is a golden calf, a swan or a golden rain and a tryst with beautiful women, sowing seeds all over the world as a bulldozer. Even if there is a strong woman in the family, she can still mess with flowers and grass outside. specializes in wives and ignorant girls, and makes the whole world his species. For a winner in life like Zeus, in addition to envy, the only way to do it is to curse him for making a woman sick and impotence for eternity.
During the time when Yang Ruizhe was distracted, the tour guide who led the team in front was not idle, and continued her explanation, "...... The Temple of the Sun is a type of architecture in ancient Egypt that was built to worship the sun god. With the development of slavery and the further disintegration of the clan communes, the emperor [***] system was strengthened, and correspondingly, during the Middle Kingdom, the sun god achieved dominance in the heavens, and by the time of the nascent kingdom, the religion adapted to the [***] system was finally formed. A whole set of divine genealogy was designed, and the emperor was combined with the supreme sun god and was called the incarnation of the sun god, and the emperor worship completely got rid of the worship of the natural god and changed from the 'great sacred' to the 'ruler's sun'. The power of the priests quickly grew. Since then, the Temple of the Sun has replaced the mausoleum as a memorial building worshiped by the emperor, occupying the most important position. It is widely built throughout the country. ”
Of course, the same is true of the Temple of the Sun in Greek mythology. Historical documents record that the Temple of the Sun has a long origin, but the exact time is completely unknown. There are also mythological documents that record that the temple of the sun was cast by the gods using divine power, so that the building cannot be verified in terms of time. ”
The tour guide pointed to a pair of tall trapezoidal stone walls sandwiched by a small doorway, and said, "This is the gate of the Sun Temple, in order to strengthen the contrast effect of the doorway on the volume of the stone wall, the height of the eaves on the doorway is much larger than that on the stone wall." At the same time, the gate was also very important to the temple, and the religious ceremonies of the masses were held in front of it, striving to be magnificent, and to match the theatrical surnames of the religious ceremonies. The other is the interior of the main hall, where the emperor is worshiped by a small number of people, striving to be dark and coercive, and to adapt to the mysterious surname of the ceremony. ”
With the guidance of the tour guide, everyone also slowly moved with the group, listening to her explanation, and walking into the interior of the temple. The interior stone walls of the temple are covered with colorful reliefs, as are the round carvings. Yang Ruizhe walked at the back of the procession, looking around at the reliefs on the stone walls inside the temple. At this moment, the tour guide also let the tourist crowd be temporarily dismissed, allowing the tourists to watch the reliefs on the wall by themselves.
Yang Ruizhe touched his chin and looked at the reliefs of these exotic civilizations. Following his gaze, Yang Ruizhe looked slowly, and at the same time put his hand on the relief, stroking these buildings, and his thoughts began to fly in the sky. The reliefs on the temple seem to show the original state of all things. It tells the story of the power of love mixed with jealousy, the conflict between two generations, the fearlessness shown on the battlefield or in personal struggle, the consequences of the troublemakers who are tired of the routine, the pain caused by illness or accidental casualties, the mystery of death, the pleasure of the soul, the challenge of the unknown, the struggle with behemoths, and even the personal crisis lurking in the process of life-and-death struggle, the pain caused by the betrayal of relatives or friends, the pain of humans, animals, The endless life between plants, the severe pain of the broken bonds of kinship between human beings, the doom and luck, and the great events that come to fate, the relationship between gods and men, the origin of the world and society. Finally, and most importantly, these reliefs also reveal the caste of the universe.
Yang Ruizhe looked at these reliefs attentively, I don't know why, there is always a sense of déjà vu. Immediately, Yang Ruizhe laughed at himself again, wondering if he was nervous, he had only lived for twenty-three years, how could he have any acquaintance with this kind of thing that didn't know the years.
Yang Ruizhe put his hand lightly on the relief, feeling the power of the relief full of years as he walked. And he himself had his eyes on the inside of the temple. Looking at the brightly colored reliefs on the top of his head, Yang Ruizhe also admired the wisdom of the ancients.
Hiss~~~!!
Yang Ruizhe suddenly gasped, because at that moment just now, his right index finger suddenly stabbed violently, as if it had been cut by some sharp weapon. Yang Ruizhe quickly took his fingers away and put them in his mouth at the same time, as if he thought that doing so would stop the bleeding immediately.
Yang Ruizhe put his finger in front of his eyes and looked at it, and found that the index finger of his right hand had been cut with a shallow scar, Yang Ruizhe couldn't help frowning, and while holding his finger in his mouth again, Yang Ruizhe also withdrew his gaze. He stared at the reliefs on the wall, trying to see what was cutting his fingers.
Yang Ruizhe stared at the relief and searched carefully, originally thinking that it was just a scratch from the fine stone on the relief, but seeing the neat cut on the index finger that seemed to be cut by a knife, Yang Ruizhe, who was about to give up further research, became curious. Although it may seem boring, after all, curiosity in the heart accounts for a large part.
It took a little time for Yang Ruizhe to discover the culprit who cut his finger. On top of the relief of the stone wall, there is a deep crack, which looks like a natural crack caused by time, but it seems to be man-made. Deep in the cracks of the relief, a metallic tip peeks out of it.
With puzzlement and curiosity, Yang Ruizhe first reached out and touched it gently, "Well, it's a little hard, it seems to be very thin, is it someone who pranked the metal piece into it?" Then Yang Ruizhe pinched the metal tip and tried to break this thing, but found that this metal piece was unexpectedly much harder than ordinary metal pieces.
"Huh!?What is this, such a thin thing has such a hardness!?And it will get stuck in it?" The attempt just now made Yang Ruizhe even more curious, and he wanted to see what it was. However, Yang Ruizhe obviously didn't realize or ignore that at the moment when his finger was cut by the metal piece just now, not a drop of blood from it occupied the wall. The reliefs on the walls are the same as before, with no changes.
"Could it be something terrible?" Yang Ruizhe's eyes lit up a little, just like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman and a connoisseur seeing a favorite jewelry, he first looked around and found that there was no one around. Coupled with the fact that the place he was in was relatively remote and no one paid attention to it, Yang Ruizhe was even more bold.
Yang Ruizhe stretched out his hand and pinched the metal object, and used his strength to pull it out, staggering, "Eh~~ It's so easy to get it out, I thought it would take a lot of strength." "I thought it would take a lot of strength to pull out the things, but Yang Ruizhe was pulled out of the stone wall very easily, causing Yang Ruizhe to take a few steps back and almost fall to the ground.
Like a thief, Yang Ruizhe quickly left the place. Feeling the cold feeling in his pocket, Yang Ruizhe's heart also jumped 'bang'. After about ten minutes, Yang Ruizhe made sure that no one had found him, and after nothing unsafe, he took out the card in his collar pocket and observed it carefully.
The card in Yang Ruizhe's hand is gold and copper, like copper but not copper, like gold and not gold, and the back is covered with mysterious patterns, which has a faint roughness to the touch, but it looks very delicate. On the front, it is the same pattern, but the pattern on the front is golden yellow, and the elegant lines constitute a complicated but never cumbersome picture, as if expressing something. If there were archaeologists here, they would surely shout, "Ancient runes!"
"What is this?card?But this color won't all be made of gold, right?" Yang Ruizhe curiously broke the card, although it looked thin, but it was extremely hard, Yang Ruizhe no matter how hard he broke it, the card in his hand has always maintained its original appearance, and there is no sense of deformation at all.
"Eh, it's so hard, gold seems to be soft, right?" Yang Ruizhe took the card and put it in the light to take a photo, and after making sure that he couldn't find anything, he reluctantly put the card back in his pocket, and muttered in his heart, "If it's all made of gold, it should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" I hope it's not gold-plated. ”
Yang Ruizhe didn't notice that when he put the card in the light to shine it, a faint golden reflection hit the dome inside the temple. It was just noon, and the sun's rays were shining on the dome outside the temple. On the powerful relief on the dome of the temple, after the two rays of light just now, the lines on the relief are like the veins of leaves, and the golden points of light quickly dissociate and converge, and flow on the relief at the same time.
At this moment, it is not only the Greek Sun Temple that has made such a change, but also the Egyptian Sun Temple, the Konak Sun Temple, the Turkish Sun Temple, the Cusco Sun Temple, the Balbec Sun Temple, the Mayan Sun Temple, and the Delphi Sun Temple, all emit the same light.
At the same time, Stonehenge in England carved a huge pentagram circle, a golden light rising into the sky, and then quickly disappearing. But what is strange is that no one has noticed the changes that have occurred around the world. And Yang Ruizhe, who went deep into the center of the temple and walked under the dome of the temple, didn't notice it at all! At some point, the people around him disappeared one by one, and the crowd began to decrease.
The light on the dome of the temple suddenly bloomed like the sun, instantly awakening the pensive Yang Ruizhe, and when he raised his head to look at the top dome, a golden light shot straight like a laser......
Yang Ruizhe's first feeling was hot, and the second feeling was pain! All that appeared in his eyes was the endless glow of the sun, as if the scorching sun was close in front of him, scorching his whole body. Then, Yang Ruizhe felt as if he had lost something, and fell asleep. At the same time, he also had a dream that he never wanted to wake up. In the dream, he seemed to appear in the endless universe, and began to float endlessly...... It's a never-ending floating ......!
Of course, such a vision, in the eyes of the heavenly families everywhere, boiled as enthusiastically as the discovery of a new continent. Because, at this moment, in the endless universe, there is an extremely rare celestial phenomenon -- the Nine Stars Alignment. It's a pity that it's daytime at the moment, and ordinary people don't have the opportunity to see such a spectacular scenery comparable to a can't be seen.
And Yang Ruizhe? At the last moment of losing consciousness, the last reaction in his mind was, "Damn, what the hell is going on with this! Why does it seem that all the unfortunate things happened to me!" and he fell unconscious......
And he himself seems to have completely disappeared from this world......
