On the ancient high mountains, sacrificial songs were sung again, and many people had gathered in front of the rock paintings of the Sun God. The ancient rock paintings have existed for at least six thousand years, and going back up to 30,000 years.
When the Shuigou Cave people disappeared in the flood six thousand years ago, no one knew where they went or whether they survived. All they left behind was this rock painting, and then they came here again.
People who grew up on this land regard these rock paintings as the works of sages and even as the supreme principle of sacrifice.
They respect and worship it, even to the point of foolishly believing in it.
Who is this sun god?
Maybe it was a certain sage who first lit the fire, or maybe he was the first ancient ancestor to calculate the trajectory of the sun. It is even more likely that it does not exist at all. Like the sun gods in other regional ancient cultures, they are all just illusions.
It's just a sacrificial object.
For example, in the vast Hongshan Culture, several sun gods were unearthed in various regions. One of them had the horns of a cow, and was also called the "ox god" by the archaeological community.
There is another statue of a bald sun god squatting with his chin in a daze. Perhaps he has become stronger even though he is bald.
There is also a female sun god squatting on the ground with a crown on her head, like the oldest Xihe myth, which reflects the worship of the sun goddess during the matrilineal clan society.
There are too many ancient sun gods. The further you dig in each area, the more you can find different sun god sacrifices. Therefore, in general, the worship of the sun has been around since ancient times.
When a primitive man looked up for the first time, what he was in awe of, apart from the stars in the sky at night, was definitely the shining sun in the daytime.
As for the moon, unfortunately, there are some myths that have been circulated for thousands of years, indicating that in ancient times, the myth of the moon was attached to the myth of the sun. In other words, the moon was probably also considered to be the sun by the primitive ancients a long time ago.
It’s just that it’s dark and the sun’s light has dimmed, so in their minds, the sun and the moon are probably the same thing, and it’s not until a long time later that they can tell the difference between the sun and the moon.
But this “era long ago” was at least before the Three Emperors.
“Sun God!”
With Ran's wizard shouting loudly in front, offering sacrifices and bowing, people climbed up the mountain one after another, tiredly. Two days had passed since the chaos in the Hanhuang Kingdom. This mountain was really far away.
The people were exhausted and had eaten a lot of the dry food and cattle and sheep they had brought with them. There were dead people everywhere on the road. Some died in the wilderness with fear, and some died in the mountains with fanaticism.
The female priest came with the soldiers from the Hanhuang Kingdom. A wizard from the Ran family immediately jumped up and cracked the whip. The cattle and sheep started to move. He jumped on the big stone, pointed at the female priest in the distance, and used a
An almost crazy voice scolded her:
"Goddess! What are you doing here again! People like you, do you think that this great mountain is also part of your Hanhuang Kingdom? This is a sacred and ancient place for worshiping heaven! How dare you?
You’re messing around here!”
“Those who live in the country of Xuanyuan’s husbands and women do not dare to shoot arrows to the west because they are afraid of the powerful spirit of Xuanyuan Terrace; the ancestors in the wilderness land do not dare to shoot arrows to the north because that is the platform of Gonggong and are afraid of the majesty of Jiuzhou Bo.”
"People from the Central Plains will not enter Dayulu Mountain, because there are ancient temples of the emperors of the past dynasties; people from Juyeze will not climb Mount Tai; people from Shangqiu will not dare not to sacrifice to Emperor Kuang; people from the Kingdom of Chengjiu will not worship the Emperor
Their totems were smashed! This is all caused by their respect for gods, ancestors, and sacrifices!"
"I beg you, don't touch the wrath of the Sun God, otherwise the God of Fire will punish you! The gods in the world have not died out yet. There are still Gods of Thunder in Lei Ze, there are still strong men in the North Pole, and there is no sun in the netherworld.
In this country, there are candles and dragons illuminating the world.”
The female priest pointed at the sun god rock painting and angrily rebuked:
"But the gods you mentioned later are all gods from ancient times, and this sun god is a god from six thousand years ago. He is the ancient among the ancients, the myth among myths! In six thousand years, all dead bones turned into soil.
, the stones must have rotted away!”
"No qigong master can survive for such a long time. Ten thousand years ago, thirty thousand years ago, what a long time it was, how many times did the totems disappear? No, in that era, there were no totems at all!"
You Ran's wizard became excited: "Aren't the things our ancestors sacrificed our totems? Since ancient times, isn't this how everything we know has been passed down!"
"Following the nature passed down from the past is the right path! Tigers will roar when they are born, leopards will climb to the top of mountains, cattle and sheep know how to eat grass instead of meat, field rats know how to dig up the soil, and insects know how to weed themselves.
When the cocoon comes, the fish born in the sea will swim back to the river. Has anyone taught them this?"
“Human beings are one of all things, and they also have this kind of nature. No one needs to teach them. This is a kind of memory inheritance among wizards!”
The female priest retorted: "Wrong! We have nothing to do with the ancestors here!"
The wizard Youran laughed and said:
"So this is the reason why you turned your back on the sun! In the past, our ancestors saw this rock painting and offered sacrifices sincerely, which really attracted the protection of the gods. Later, the gods gradually disappeared, and the years also moved, and now
You actually brazenly said that you have nothing to do with your 'ancestors'!"
"For people like you who have betrayed your ancestors and totems, the gods will not protect you or respond to you. No wonder you two goddesses have never felt the call of the Sun God, nor can you contact the God of Fire! Han Desolate, Han Desolate,
This country’s name was obtained in order to abandon the sun and flames!”
“You want to replace us! Destroy our ancestors!”
The wizards of the Ran family were still unwilling to give up. The people around them got up and pushed the soldiers of Hanhuang Kingdom angrily. Some people were very confused, but they had already arrived here. Maybe praying is really useful?
And they have all seen it before. There was indeed a brilliant light on this mountain, although it was only for a moment.
But if that’s not the light of the sun god, what could it be?
Then the sacrifice must have received a response!
But the rainbow light from the sky flew over, and the sharp sword energy was like the glow of the sun and the moon. The vast light curtain did not come down. Outside the mountain, the restless crowd fell into a daze, and an arrow came in response.
The arrow fell in front of the wizard, causing him to take a few steps back in fright. Ruzai and Hongchao ran from a distance. They climbed up the mountain, and Ruzai could see the rock painting of the sun god at a glance.
