"How come Miss Yang also knows about shaman mythology?" He Xie's eyes fell on Shirley Yang's face.
Shirley Yang smiled, reached out and put a strand of black hair behind her ear, looked at the mural and said softly: "Before coming, I checked some information and found that the tomb of the Khitan princess has some connection with shamanism, so I took the opportunity to find out more about it.
Some shamanic myths and legends.”
She didn't wait for He Xie to ask, and then started to tell directly: "The creation god in shamanism is called Dokuohuo. She was born when the heaven and earth were not divided. Later, in order to create the world, she destroyed her body and her eyes.
Turned into the sun and moon, hair turned into forests, sweat turned into streams. Skin and flesh turned into grasslands and mountains..."
Shirley Yang glanced at He Xie and smiled: "Most religions have similar legends. This is not new. However, what is more interesting about shamanic myths is that the following mythological stories are completely different from other religions.
Already."
"The goddess Dokuohuo did not die after the creation of the world. Her soul was hidden in a sacred stone and fell from the sky. She told her believers that she would be resurrected in a thousand years, walk out of the sacred stone, and build a colorful world without birth, old age, illness, or death.
The Kingdom of God grants immortality to all who believe in her.”
After taking a breath, Shirley Yang continued: "So this sacred stone has become a sacred object of shamanism. The believers worship it day and night. They hope that the gods they believe in can be resurrected as soon as possible and take them to the other side. And the first shamanism
The full priest Abu Kahehe was originally the most loyal believer of the goddess, but when her life was about to come to an end, the fear of death overwhelmed her devotion to the goddess. So she did one thing, she took the sacred stone
Swallowed."
When He Xie heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. There was a difference between the version Shirley Yang said and the version he heard during his lifetime.
In the version told by Shirley Yang, Abu Kahehe took the initiative to swallow the sacred stone, but in the version heard by He Xie before, Abu Kahehe was forced by the devil and was forced to swallow the sacred stone.
Thinking that the image of Abu Kahehe in the mural was very distorted and ugly, He Xie felt that what Shirley Yang said should be the orthodox shaman myth handed down in this world.
"God cannot be blasphemed," Shirley Yang continued. "Abu Kahehe who swallowed the sacred stone immediately burned. Everything close to her would be burned to ashes. She continued her life as she wished, but she
But he turned into a flame demon, lost all emotions, and became an evil existence."
"It swallowed the soul of the goddess and also got the memory of the goddess, so she wanted to completely replace the goddess and become the new god of the shaman." Shirley Yang looked at He Xie, "Unfortunately, her conspiracy did not succeed in the end, and she was
The angry believers killed her, her body turned into a stone again, and her soul was banished to the other end of the door of life and death by the believers."
Hearing this, He Xie immediately remembered the fourth mural he had seen at the entrance. His previous guess was correct, the goddess was indeed expelled through that door.
Shirley Yang pointed to the first mural in front of her and said with a smile: "Because Abu Kahe swallowed the goddess and cut off the only hope of the goddess's resurrection, the shaman believers lost their only faith and began to split. This first
The secondary mural describes the history of the split of shamanism."
After a slight pause, Shirley Yang pointed to the second mural: "But there are still some people who have not given up hope of resurrecting the goddess. They stay and want to find out the resurrection by studying the stone that Abu Kahehe's body was transformed into.
The goddess' method, and they have made good progress. You see, what is painted in the painting is the scene where they use this stone to open the door of life and death and make a dead person come back to life."
He Xie nodded and looked at these murals through the shamanistic myths told by Shirley Yang. Many things that he could not understand or understand at first suddenly became much clearer.
He looked at the third mural. This mural had begun to become a little blurry. The huge door of life and death still existed, and many ferocious monsters poured out from the door, fighting with the human army on the other side.
.
Shirley Yang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm a little unsure about the content of this painting. I guess maybe they released the monster behind the door during the process of resurrecting the goddess, which caused the disaster..."
The fourth mural has been completely destroyed and nothing can be seen clearly.
Shirley Yang shrugged at He Xie and said: "Since the death of the goddess, shamanism has no longer set up temples to worship their gods, and because of the divisions caused by the death of the goddess, believers have various interpretations of the doctrine, making it difficult to unify.
.So in fact, since the goddess Dokuoho was swallowed by Abu Qahhe, the oldest orthodox shamanism has ceased to exist in name only."
He Xie stared at the monsters in the third mural, suddenly pointed at one of them, and said, "Doesn't this snake-headed monster look familiar to you?"
Shirley Yang took a closer look with a flashlight and said: "One of the eight resurrected sculptures before? This is not surprising. Maybe that sculpture was originally based on the myths and legends described in this mural."
After a pause, Shirley Yang turned around and said, "Mr. He, do you really believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
"You don't believe it?" He Xie asked without looking back.
Shirley Yang looked at He Xie's side face and unexpectedly found that if there were no prejudices, this man would still be quite attractive.
"It's irresponsible to blame all the things you don't understand on ghosts and monsters." Shirley Yang said with a smile, "Many unexplainable things may just be because we humans are too ignorant. After all, we know nothing about the entire world.
There are too few. I still believe that science can ultimately explain everything."
He Xie turned to look at her: "There is another saying that the end of science is theology."
Shirley Yang scoffed at this: "We now know how the universe was born. This shows that the creation myths of all religions were wrong from the beginning, even fundamentally wrong. How can I believe in the future path of theology?"
Can you get back on track? This is just a self-deception because you are powerless in this world!"
"How do you explain the sculpture's resurrection just now?" He Xie smiled and asked. He found this woman's way of thinking really interesting.
"Sculpture resurrection is just a puppet technology that we don't understand." Shirley Yang expressed her opinion, "Maybe people can really exist in the world in another way after death, but it is still just another part of life.
It’s just a way of existence, everyone is a life, I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of.”
After a pause, Shirley Yang smiled at He Xie and said: "Mr. He, it's better not to believe too much in the contents of the murals. They will never be real. If we don't understand them, it won't be of much help to us. I think we
What you should be most concerned about now is how to get out of here."
