Chapter 116 (I)
Carrying Yuehua on his back, he repeated the trick, then a kitchen knife and a flying sword, jumped down to the crack below, and then stuck the kitchen knife and flying sword on the ice rock, jumped in relay, and landed on the small platform below without danger, next to it, it was the cave that led to the magical treasure inside......
"Sure enough, what a big guy!"
Xiao Lei looked at the dragon that was sealed behind the ice!
The shape of this dragon is very much in line with the standards of Western mythology and legend. Huge wings, tall body, despite ...... By Oriental standards, it looks like a big flying lizard.
However, Xiao Lei was a little interested in the armor on the dragon's body, and the chain around its neck. Obviously, the dragon was "domesticated", but at least in any of the existing human history that Xiao Lei knew, humans had never domesticated the "dragon" creature.
Never.
Even, whether in the East or in the West, dragons exist only in myths and legends.
Just like Yuehua described, this walked into this hole, and the space inside was like a bowl that was turned upside down, and the surrounding ice was full of frozen creatures, and the shapes of those creatures ...... It can be said that all of them have never been seen by humans now!
"What if...... If the findings here are revealed...... I'm afraid half of the world's biologists will go crazy. Xiao Lei let out a long sigh.
Yuehua stood nervously beside Xiao Lei, since she walked in, she had a distressing look in her eyes, and she didn't dare to leave Xiao Lei for a moment.
Xiao Lei smiled and gently grabbed Yuehua's hand.
Unconsciously, both of them seemed to feel that such a move was not abrupt at all.
"Below this staircase is the way to the temple......" Xiao Lei looked at the big pit on the ground, and under the pit was neat steps.
Yuehua's hand trembled a little, Xiao Lei shook it vigorously, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid." ”
Yuehua smiled and said softly: "I'm not afraid, it's just a little cold." ”
The steps stick to the ice rock below the glacier, with icy ice on one side and ...... on the other. It's an abyss that I don't know how deep it is!
Although this is under the glacier, Xiao Lei can still feel the wind faintly under the abyss beside him. Yuehua next to her couldn't help but turn a little pale. Xiao Lei frowned, simply pulled her over and hugged her with one hand, and walked forward slowly.
After turning that corner, Xiao Lei finally saw the legendary Temple of Zeus!
The temple of Zeus is exactly the same as in the Yuehua narrative, majestic and magnificent, with those huge white stone pillars supporting the entire temple, and the golden statue of Zeus sitting in it, no matter which angle it seems, he is shining with golden light.
But Xiao Lei doesn't care too much about this.
He suddenly cheered, and pulled Yuehua to run over quickly.
"Hahahaha......" Xiao Lei smiled happily, he squatted on the ground and picked up a small thing and threw it to Yuehua, it was a packet of dehydrated beef!
There was also a lot of food scattered on the ground. I think it's all left over from the last time the mountaineering team came here.
The greedy guys threw away a lot of food and equipment here in order to free up their backpacks and take some more gold and diamonds with them.
Ray even found a spare sleeping bag!
After collecting all the food scattered on the ground, Xiao Lei smiled: "It seems that we don't have to worry about food now." That's enough to feed you for a week. ”
Yuehua just smiled, she had found a mountaineering stove, shook it gently, there was still a little residual fuel in it, and she lit the stove. The two finally felt the warmth of the flames.
After eating a little beef and chocolate, these high-calorie foods went down to her stomach, and Yuehua's face became more and more beautiful. Xiao Lei sighed, and then took a closer look at the surrounding gods.
"You see, there are a total of twelve gods here, except for the largest statue of Zeus, the other eleven, plus Zeus himself, are the twelve main gods of Greek mythology. Although there are many big and small gods in Greek mythology, only these twelve gods are the highest and most powerful. Little Ray smiled.
Yuehua said in a low voice: "You...... Aren't you worried?"
"Worried about what?"
Yuehua's face was a little uneasy: "That box...... That Pandora's box ......"
"Cut. Xiao Lei pouted: "It's just a mirror in that box." Anyone who looks in the mirror will see people inside. It's just that you opened the box and looked in the mirror at a special time and place. Nothing remarkable. ”
"But the box...... It was suddenly gone again. Yuehua looked around as she said this, as if she was afraid that the statues of the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology would suddenly come to life.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing strange about it." ”
Xiao Lei is a cultivator himself.
To put it bluntly, his understanding of myths and legends is different from that of ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, myths and legends are either dismissed as nonsense of nothingness, or they are regarded as mysterious beings.
But for Xiao Lei, on the one hand, he is a cultivator, he believes in the existence of the mythical world, and on the other hand, because he practice, he sees those mysteries more thoroughly...... So, there's no mystery to speak of.
He pulled Yuehua to sit down slowly, and said in a low voice: "Okay, now let's analyze what is going on here." ”
"First of all, Yuehua, do you believe in the existence of gods...... Or, do you believe that these gods of Greek mythology ever existed?"
Yuehua was dazed......
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I'm not an atheist, I think you know, I know some...... Well, it can be said that it is some spells, these abilities of mine come from Chinese Taoism, that is, the legendary Oriental immortal law, the so-called flying of the wind, the sword of a thousand miles, these so-called immortal skills, in fact, I know a little.
To put it simply, I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a practitioner, and there are many ancient sects in China, and I'm a member of one of them. We believe in the existence of immortals, and we believe in the so-called legendary immortals, bodhisattvas, and the like. But...... Let me say something of my own...... It's not so much that they're immortals, it's that they're just human beings...... It's just that they have skills that ordinary people don't have...... For example, a practitioner like me is an ordinary human being, but we have a method of cultivation, and as long as we practice according to this method, we will have the opportunity to become an 'immortal' in the future. In other words, there are no gods in the world, because everyone can become an immortal. ”
Xiao Lei suddenly laughed, and he suddenly remembered the words in the movie "God of Food": There is no god of food in the world, because everyone is a god of food.
The meaning of Xiao Lei's words is that the so-called immortals are also human beings, but they have cultivated those methods to the extreme and have supreme mana, and people have become immortals.
To put it more clearly, the so-called immortals are also human beings, but they are just upgraded and strengthened human beings.
Speaking of this, Xiao Lei paused before continuing: "Since there are people in the East who have cultivated to become immortals, there are those cultivation methods...... Then the West must also have it, so ...... I think that the so-called gods of Greek mythology may indeed exist...... It's just that they are also human beings, but they have some skills that humans don't have. ”
Yuehua stuck out her tongue and couldn't help but point to the statues around her, pointing at the famous goddess of wisdom, Athena, the king of the sea Poseidon...... And Zeus, who smiled wryly: "You say, they are also humans?"
"Why not?" Xiao Lei smiled: "I have read a lot of myths and legends, and I also know some about Greek mythology...... To be honest, I think that the gods in Greek mythology, compared with other religious myths, these Greek gods are more like people, and their behavior and habits do not have the majesty and nobility of the gods at all, and their surnames are closer to human beings, because they will be angry, jealous, suspicious, greedy, lustful, and even conspiratorial......"
Xiao Lei pointed to the statue of Zeus and said with a smile: "The most obvious example is him, Zeus, the legendary supreme being...... But according to Greek mythology...... His wife is his own sister, he is also very lustful, has a dewy relationship with many goddesses and beautiful women of human beings, and has many illegitimate children, and even he is very suspicious, because he is afraid that someone will threaten his authority and threaten his rule, and he even brags a lot of things that people look down on, such as killing ......" Xiao Lei shrugged his shoulders: "You say, such a performance, where is it like a high god...... I think he's a bit like one of those ancient monarchs. ”
Yuehua couldn't help but smile, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a little in Xiao Lei's strange remarks.
"But what about Pandora? Pandora's box ......" Yuehua is still most worried about this after all, this is something related to herself.
Xiao Lei smiled, patted Yuehua's shoulder gently, and said, "There's nothing strange about this. Haven't you already opened that box? According to mythology, opening Pandora's box will bring endless disasters to mankind...... But so far, it seems that nothing has happened, the sky has not fallen, and the earth has not fallen...... To be honest, I'd like this damn Pyrenees to collapse so we can get out. Hehe......"
