Chapter 156: Deconstructing the Relief
Chen Yun felt that my heart was dark, but I felt that this was the real human nature, but the discussion would not continue here. First, to avoid differences, and secondly, the most important thing at the moment is to find the core entrance of the site as soon as possible, without wasting such a lot of talk.
Chen Yun pointed to the last relief and analyzed, "The final record of the relief is about a melee among the ethnic groups. A geological disaster occurred here. An underground volcano erupted, forming a fountain mouth. The thick magma covered the entire canyon and caused a huge wildfire. The relief recorded the scene of Homo sapiens when they escaped... No, look at what this is?"
Having said this, Chen Yun simply exclaimed in surprise. Seeing this, we all moved closer to each other, but saw a huge underground creature crawling out from a relief in it. It looked like a lizard, but four eyes grew on its head, all of which were blood-red. This ugly creature was killing the ancient Homo sapiens, and there were crowds of people fleeing everywhere.
"It's this strange underground creature again, why does it look so familiar?" I looked at the huge ugly creature carved on the surface of the stone sculpture, and was filled with surprise.
We have seen records of similar monsters more than once. It seems that there are records of such monsters in Linjun’s tomb. It seems that it is precisely because of the proliferation of this creature that the decline of Cuba was eventually led to the decline. Could it be that this monster had existed before ancient times?
I was so shocked that Chen Yun continued to interpret, "After that geological disaster, it caused large-scale casualties and injuries to Homo sapiens. The remaining sapiens rebuilt their homes in the ruins, which are the piles of low houses we saw on it before. At that time, the ancient sapiens seemed not to know how to use fire. It was a first-born three-purpose man who led the ancient sapiens to master the trick of ignition from the magma left by the volcano."
This is how humans discovered fire in history. The reason why the ancients discovered fire must be due to natural disasters, either wildfires, meteorites from the sky, or volcanic eruptions, which left behind fire to spread on earth.
The original Homo sapiens were the same as wild beasts. They were very afraid of this "devil" who could shine and release heat. However, over the long years, the Homo sapiens gradually discovered that in addition to bringing destruction and disaster to mankind, they could also create many conveniences for life.
For example, food roasted with flames will be more delicious, and eating cooked food will reduce the chance of getting sick. It can also use flames to drive away enemies and avoid harm, so that wild beasts dare not get close to each other. The so-called "Su Ren" should not refer to a certain body, but the ancient Homo sapiens who were the first to learn to use fire.
Chen Yun raised an objection, pointing to the figure on the relief and said, "Look, the people on the relief have three eyes, which is obviously different from the Homo sapiens around them. Maybe, the ancient Homo sapiens were able to invent bricks and wood to make fire, not because Homo sapiens was smart enough, but because they were gifted by gods. It was the people of the Three-Eyed Tribe who taught them the skills of making fire."
I said, "I guess the so-called Sange clan should be a god made up by the ancient Homo sapiens themselves. It is just to show their uniqueness, so they add more eyes to the reliefs or murals." Chen Yun smiled and shook her head, saying, Sima Nan, do you have a bad memory? The Sange clan members must exist. Don't forget the thousand-year-old female corpse we met when we first went to the tomb...
I was stunned for a moment, and there was something in my memory. I immediately wondered, "If there were such three-eyed giants before the birth of the early Homo sapiens, how did they disappear in the end? In the relief, Suiren was also a member of the Three-eyed tribe. It was he who taught ancient Homo sapiens how to live. This proves that as early as when Homo sapiens was in the bud of intelligence, the Three-eyed tribe had already achieved higher wisdom and civilization than Homo sapiens. Why were the descendants of Homo sapiens, not the Three-eyed tribes?"
My series of questions made Ge Zhuang and Lao Zhong dizzy. The two of them asked at the same time, "What are the three-mesh clans, what ancient Homo sapiens, where are you talking about? "
I stopped talking and waited for Chen Yun's analysis. Chen Yun shook her head and said, "I don't know the specifics. Maybe something happened later. Don't discuss this issue first. Let me first construct all the reliefs!"
The following reliefs record the general process of the production, hunting, and reproduction of ancient Homo sapiens. Almost every relief will see the traces of the Three-Earth Clan. On the last two reliefs, the scenes of the two Emperors of Yan and Huang and Chi You competing for the Wei River. After the defeat, Chi You died and was dismembered by Huangdi. The corpses were suppressed in different places, which coincided with the ancient myths and legends of the Han people.
Chen Yun said, "It seems that many 'myths' that have been passed down from ancient times are true. At least Xuanyuan Huangdi, Yandi and Chiyou should be real. They did fight a large battle. After Chiyou's failure, the scattered Jiuli tribes have rebuilt two huge ancient civilizations after thousands of years of cultivation and restoration."
"Slow down!" Lao Zhong suddenly raised a question, saying that according to your analysis, Ba and Shu are the same ancestors, why did they become mortal enemies, resulting in years of war and disasters, and finally the Qin State took advantage of the situation?
I don’t know what Chen Yun said. Perhaps it was because of the internal divisions in the Jiuli tribe. This situation was numerous in the history of the Central Plains. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wasn’t there any saying that “three families divide Jin”? Han, Zhao, and Wei will also be mortal enemies?
I said okay, then what? Chen Yun slowly restored the historical context through the connotation of the relief. She said that the civilizations of Cuba and Shu were built on the basis of Jiuli. In addition to attacking each other, the two countries also faced another hidden danger, which is that the underground monsters left by disasters from heaven in ancient times began to move frequently again.
The two countries of Ba and Shu fought each other and fought a desperate battle with these underground creatures. In the end, the power of the two super empires declined and were destroyed by Qin. Then the rise of the ancient Yelang Dynasty, but it disappeared completely after only less than three hundred years.
Since this mysterious country was conquered by the Khan Dynasty, it has completely collapsed and fell apart. No one knows when the people of the Jiuli tribe became extinct. Historical materials lack records, so people can only speculate out of thin air. One said that it was gradually assimilated by the Han people, and the other said that it was living in seclusion in the mountains, forming various ethnic minorities that have reproduced to this day. A dynasty has disappeared completely, leaving only doubts for future generations.
