After that, they left this place and continued walking forward.
This hall is very large. It seems that keeping this dragon turtle in captivity consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in the palace at that time, and this hall should also be the largest space in the palace.
Behind this large stone room, there were many partitions. After passing through one partition after another, they arrived at a relatively clean space, where the rotten smell just now could not be transmitted.
From the feeling, this should be a relatively sacred place in the palace at that time...
According to legend, this Shang turtle was kept in the ancestral temple of the Shang royal family, thus symbolizing the unchanging royal power of the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty.
And now looking at it, this is indeed true...
After passing through several partitions, they entered an area full of brown-red. The color in this area was very strong, and the brown-red was infiltrated with purple, giving it a silent sense of nobility.
Moreover, this place is very clean and spotless everywhere. When you look closely, it turns out that both the walls and the floor are made of red gemstones.
Chen Zhi still remembers this kind of stone. It is described in the treasure collection of the library that this kind of stone can remove dust and produce natural fragrance.
It is said that putting one piece of it can keep dust from falling in a place. It is a natural vacuum cleaner.
And as we walked further forward, we found bursts of golden light coming over us. Although those lights were tiny, they were very dazzling.
They pointed the searchlights in their hands, and as the light was reflected, it was a golden light.
Those rays of light are so dazzling that they can almost blind people's eyes.
When I took a closer look, I discovered that this was another treasure exhibition room, and the treasures here were all life-size figures made of two precious metals, copper and gold. It was a golden world.
Chen Zhi once heard that in ancient times, gold and copper were actually precious metals. These two metals were very rare at that time. At that time, some people even believed that copper was more precious than gold.
I saw golden dolls displayed one after another in front, filling the room like a bionic statue hall.
Chen Zhi realized that this should be the ancestral temple of the Shang Dynasty royal family.
In the most ancient times, the land of China was actually very similar to the ancient Greek Empire. It was customary to carve the ancestors and gods worshiped in people's hearts in the form of statues.
The huge ones are usually gods, while the life-size ones are usually one's lost ancestors.
Later, incense, altars, spiritual tablets, etc. were all produced after religion became mainstream in the later period.
Although these statues are all golden, they are very realistic. If they were not entirely golden, their carving simulation would be the same as today's wax figures...
Judging from the height and posture of these people, these ancient people were slightly taller than today's humans, and their foreheads and cheeks had the protruding characteristics of primitive humans.
Judging from the clothing, these people's clothing is not recorded in current history books.
They should all be people from before the Shang Dynasty, and they are probably the most ancient ancestors of the merchants, the old merchants.
These people all have very tall nose bridges, some of the characteristics of modern Western Europeans, and their arms are very strong, some of which even exceed the knees, like gorillas.
Each of them held various types of ancient weapons in a fighting state, but they had no target to fight with.
While Chen Zhi was observing these sculptures, Fat Wei discovered something strange...
It turns out that the light from these golden and bronze figures was too dazzling and I didn’t notice the walls here.
If you look closely, you will see that these walls are covered with very primitive murals. Although the paintings are very rough, they can express the characteristics of the characters very well.
What's amazing is that every character in the painting can find the exact target among these gold and bronze portraits.
It means that these gold and bronze figures are real images, and those murals record what these people did during their lives...
Judging from this mural, the ancestors of these merchants were very good at fighting.
But their enemies are obviously not humans. Some of those enemies have legs like rhinos, some have wings like eagles, and some are like lizards with huge tails.
And this image is exactly the same as the blue ghost I saw just now...
Every time an enemy was defeated, the ancestors of those merchants would cut off the heads of these creatures, carve a golden talisman on their foreheads, and send them to a palace.
In the mural, the palace is very simple, with only a roof and a few pillars, and several curved partitions inside.
And just these few simple lines have fully expressed the characteristics of the entire building. Chen Zhi is very sure that this is the room where the blue ghosts were just now.
At the top of the palace, there was a small plaque with a few vague words engraved in sacred characters. Chen Zhi took out a magnifying glass and read it carefully.
It says, "Yao Po Pavilion"
After seeing these murals, Chen Zhi understood immediately.
The disembodied blue ghosts I encountered before are the so-called "demon".
Among some ancient excerpts from Jiang's Library, there are several descriptions of demons...
[The demon is not a thing of this life, but a legacy from the previous life. Those who are equivalent to beast demons have been put to death.]
This means that in the last civilized world before human civilization appeared, there were some special creatures left, which are collectively called monsters.
This creature has high intelligence like a human, and its ears are as powerful as a monster, but it has been completely killed.
The ancestors of the merchants were the heroes who killed these creatures. According to the logic of human civilization, what is described in this mural is the historical song of the ancestors of the merchants fighting these monsters...
This information is so old that people don't want to study it carefully.
But these ancient murals conveyed an important message to them.
Those were the blue ghosts they saw before, and their bodies had been destroyed a long time ago.
Then the form in which they currently exist in this world is...
