Chapter 339 Sherborne

On the first mural, there is a frontal image drawn with simple lines. The protagonist of the portrait has bulging and slightly squinting eyes like large peach pits, and a long and pointed mouth. Although it is not as obvious as a human fly, it is clearly shaped like a trumpet.

It is longer than normal people. The sparse beard is spread all over the upper lip and lower jaw. It looks more like the fluff of a fly, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

The clothes on his body and the crown on his head were very familiar to Xiao Ran and Xu Shishi. Although the peat-tanned corpse under the Xianniang Temple looked dirtier and thinner, it was absolutely certain that it was the same person in the mural.

of this person.

Xiao Ran briefly described the sage under Xianniang Temple again. Hu Bayi thought about the man he had seen, Lord Fly, and combined with Xiao Ran's description, he said: "The murals in this tomb will definitely follow the mainstream

To beautify the aesthetics of the painting, the most basic thing is to make the non-human painting look as human-like as possible. According to the appearance of the sage you mentioned, it should basically be the one in the painting."

Several people's attention returned to the mural. Although the sage occupied the center of the mural, there were many gods flying in the clouds around him. Especially above his head, there was an image of a dancing goddess like Shiva. This goddess

Needless to say, it was naturally Empress Xia, and even Xu Er could recognize her at a glance.

There were a lot of dense words engraved on both sides of the lower part of the portrait. Xiao Ran really couldn't read the fonts. After a few people recognized it for a long time, they only recognized the words "Xia Boer", "Xia Mu", "Zhou" and so on.

Hu Bayi speculated: "This person should be Xia Burne. According to the title rules of the Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty, it is the combination of the name of the land, the title and the life, so this person is the earl of Xia Di. What's his name?"

It should be that Emperor Zhou inherited the title from his ancestors when he was still alive. As for this Xia mother, she should be Empress Xia."

The fat man interjected: "You should say this one by one. It seems that you don't know what it says? Let's stop guessing and move forward quickly."

Hu Bayi sighed helplessly. These words were indeed not his area of ​​expertise, and they could only be half-guessed. The group of people then moved forward to read the content behind them.

The following murals, unsurprisingly, tell the story of Chabourne's life. The descriptions of these murals are very detailed. The second painting even shows him lying in a round sphere with his eyes closed, which refers to him being in his mother's womb. The circle

Above the ball, Lady Xia is suspended in mid-air, sprinkling something representing light.

According to Hu Bayi's explanation, this is called "Holy Spirit Conception", which is an old method used by various ethnic groups in ancient times to brag about the birth of great figures. It means that this person has been cared for by God before he was born, and is even a saint himself.

kind.

"To put it nicely, they are not all bastards. Let those gods, fairies, cuckold their own fathers. The brains of these old feudal people have been soaked in dung soup..." the fat man said disdainfully

.

After hearing what the fat man said, Xu Er burst out laughing.

Several people continued to walk forward. Most of them were Xia Boen with protruding eyes and sharp mouth. He accepted the emperor's canonization, hunted, led troops to go to war, etc. The strange thing was that above his head, there was always the six-armed and four-legged Xia Boon.

Your Majesty, your eyes are kind and happy, just like a mother looking at her child.

Looking back, the picture suddenly became a little weird. Xia Boerne was sitting in the middle, like the King of Hell. Around him, there were some little people with six arms and four legs, inflicting torture on various different creatures.

Among them were creatures with limbs like humans, as well as some furry and horned beasts.

These tortures are like scenes from the 18th level of hell, including the removal of the intestines and gouging out the heart.

The place he was in seemed to be a huge room with ten doors around it. This made Xiao Ran involuntarily think of the hall with ten doors under Xianniang Temple.

Could it be that this painting depicts that hall?

Xiao Ran immediately rejected his idea. After all, in the last underground tomb, Tianling Sanren personally recorded the origin of the hall. Someone had already built it, and he just took over the magpie's nest and renovated it.

So think about it on the other hand, Tianling Sanren's renovation was carried out according to this mural, aiming to restore the room in Xia Boer's painting?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so he had to continue to look behind him. In the lower picture, there was no Xiaburn, and three spheres appeared in the sky. The left and right sides seemed to be the sun, which looked exactly the same and was shining brightly. The middle sphere was slightly larger.

It is drawn in a vortex shape, a bit like an overly distorted diagram of the two worlds.

On the ground below these three balls, Lady Xia stretched out her six arms, like an old hen guarding her young, protecting the little people below who also had six arms and four legs. Some of the little people panicked and ran away, and some even lost their bodies.

They were set on fire, and some were holding obscure weapons and firing them into the sky.

"Is this... a descendant shooting the sun? Or is it Nuwa patching up the sky? Why did such a painting suddenly appear? That's not right. These six arms should be that of Empress Xia, and there are also three suns in the sky, one of which is even longer.

Different, what does this mean?"

The fat man was completely confused. Hu Bayi frowned and explained: "The mythical stories we heard evolved over time and were improved by absorbing new content. Maybe at the beginning Nuwa mended the sky.

It’s the same story as Hou Yi’s shooting of the sun. Later, with the rise of patriarchal clan society, the credit for dealing with the excess sun was attributed to men, and the number of suns changed from three to nine. Who knows..."

After hearing this, the fat man was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "Well...you can tell me the most clearly, so I'll go with what you said. Maybe each person has his own interpretation of the previous myths, and the one who told it most brilliantly in the end has been passed down.

…”

Xiao Ran had already walked to the next painting, stared at it for a long time, took a deep breath and said: "There is also a possibility that that mural has nothing to do with our story at all, and is about other places..."

Others walked up to Xiao Ran and looked at the painting in front of him. In this painting, at the top was a door that opened horizontally, with light coming out of it.

Xia Boerne was still sitting cross-legged in the middle, but instead of having six hands and four legs, he had changed from six hands and four legs to two hands and two legs. Directly above his head, there was still Empress Xia hanging in the air, and the two star charts of the South Dipper and the Big Dipper were listed on the left and right.

On the ground below Sherborne, there are various Chinese fish, insects, birds and beasts outlined with simple lines. The shapes of these creatures are consistent with the common murals, but the strange ones in the first few murals cannot be named.

Even deformed creatures have completely disappeared.

And around Xia Boern, there were still those six-armed and four-legged little people flying in the clouds and mist.

Xiao Ran turned his head and looked at Hu Bayi and the others intently, and said, "Do you think this Xia Burne is an alien..."
