Paintings of Terror

Everyone was shocked.

"You mean - this rock wall comes from another world, and the records on it are also historical events that happened in another world. The great witches of the other world are using the witch prayer method of their world to perform sacrifices?!" Hua Jiqiu Very shocked by this inference.

"So this explains why the carvings on the rock walls are all ghost writing!" Wei Dong also added in shock.

"This is just a guess for the time being," Mu Yiran said, "I think we can deduce a problem. We might as well consider it from both positive and negative aspects. One aspect is that these rock carvings come from the human world, and they are rituals of worship after the great flood; One aspect is that these rock carvings come from another world, and they are rituals performed by people in another world, and they seem to be successful, triggering the medium connecting the two worlds, and this medium is displayed in the form of paintings The 'third space' between the human world and another world, that is, the world in the paintings that we have entered before."

"The unreasonable speculation is very reasonable," Ke Xun continued, "and it is very likely that there are capable people or great witches in the world who have discovered this. They don't want people from another world to break into the world, so they use that huge 'light' The characters seal this medium, and if people from another world want to come to the human world, they can only find ways to destroy this optical seal."

"The coordinates of all the paintings we have entered are located on the optical seal," Mu Yiran continued, "I think the coordinates of these paintings in the art museum are probably influenced by the power of another world. Under the constraints of the seal, there is no way to directly break the seal and rush into the human world, but they can still invade part of the power into the human world, affecting the coordinates of the art museum, and constantly attracting and screening people who enter the painting."

"Every time we get a signature, we destroy a little seal," Ke Xun continued, "until the seal is almost destroyed, and follow the clues provided by each painting to find the altar of this different world, It’s not far from breaking the seal completely.”

"And our bone phases come from the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" on the Jiuding," Mu Yiran said again, "Now that I think about it, the ghost writings that our bone phases can extract should not be the same as the ghost writings on this altar. An overall relationship, I am more inclined, the two are independent sets of ghost writings with the power of witchcraft, the ghost writings on the rock wall are witchcraft used by different worlds to connect the human world, and the ghost writings on our bones Ghost text, it comes from Jiuding, it is used to suppress the ghost text that seals the opening of another world."

"That is to say, these two sets of ghost writings are tit-for-tat," Ke Xun said, "that is, the relationship between the spear and the shield, the enemy army and our army. Because the power of ghost writings is used in different worlds to attack the human world, so the human world Just use the ghost text to block this power."

"So the lord Dayu used the most precious metal in Kyushu in the world to cast the Jiuding," Mu Yiran said, "on which was engraved a pattern of witch dance composed of ghost script. Ghost script is the power of witchcraft from another world, and witch dance is the The power of witchcraft in the human world, the two are creatively combined into one, with the power of witchcraft in the other world and the power of witchcraft in the human world, to block and attack the invading forces from the other world."

"This was very effective at first, but I didn't expect that Jiuding disappeared later," Ke Xun said, "But for some reason, the charms on Jiuding could be mapped to human bones, so from then on these people who entered the painting It has become a substitute of Jiuding, which can play the same role as Jiuding, but since human bones are not authentic Jiuding, this matter will be restarted every nearly a hundred years."

"The reverse speculation on this matter is roughly like this," Mu Yiran said, "If you have any questions, let us discuss them together."

Everyone: "..."

Wei Dong: "Have you two rehearsed beforehand?"

Ke Xun: "I don't know what it means to be a single dog with a heart-to-heart relationship. PASS, next one."

Shao Ling: "So you think that the world depicted in "Shan Hai Jing Tu" does not exist at all, as I said before, the descriptions of gods, ghosts and beasts in later generations of "Shan Hai Jing" are all due to people Errors caused by describing pictures with words, some strange dance movements or strange costumes, blurred and confused due to visual effects or too long time, cause people in later generations to regard originally normal humans or animals as gods and ghosts A strange beast, but in fact, the real content of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a book of witchcraft?"

Hua Jiqiu: "But the country, landscape, and geographical environment described in the "Shan Hai Jing" are clearly a huge world structure."

Zhu Haowen: "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we encountered the painting, I would not believe in mythology. As for the country, geography, and scenery described in "Shan Hai Jing", I think it was filled in by later generations. content, rather than the content in the original "Mountain and Sea Map".

"If you take out a description in the "Shan Hai Jing" at random, for example, "It is born from red wood, and it hurts to eat it", "It is eighty miles to the west, and it is called Fuyu Mountain. Its yang is mostly copper, and its yin Duodie', 'yellow body and red tail, its sound is like a baby'.

"The original version of "Mountain and Sea Picture" was engraved on the Jiuding, and the Jiuding was cast in the ancient Dayu period. Then, Weidong, if you were asked to paint on the tripod, how would you reflect the concept of 'Eighty Miles'? How would you reflect it? 'Its yang is rich in copper, its yin is rich in iron'? How does it reflect 'the heartache of eating', 'yellow body and red tail, its voice is like a baby'?

"And, what is the standard of weight and measure for the eighty miles of Dayu's time?"

Weidong: "...uh... If I am not allowed to use words to annotate, I can't draw the difference between the concept of 'eighty miles' and copper and iron, unless I am allowed to use chemical symbols.

"Heartache or something, I may be able to draw it in the form of a four-panel comic strip, but Jiuding probably does not allow this operation.

"As for the voice of the yellow body and red tail and the baby, it is even less likely to be engraved on the Jiuding, unless the pictures on the Jiuding are also colored and can make sounds...

"And Mr. Shao also said that the petroglyphs of this era are very simple in style, just like stick figures. I doubt that people of that era could draw the complex gods, ghosts and monsters in "Shan Hai Jing."

Mu Yiran: "But we cannot deny that the "Shan Hai Jing" handed down by later generations is not the real "Shan Hai Jing". Historical research has also proved that the "Shan Hai Jing" handed down today is misrepresented, processed, added and subtracted by later generations. , Artistic and even brain-filled new versions, but what we have come into contact with is the original version without any modification, distortion and misrepresentation.

"As for whether the age of mythology in ancient times really existed, even Sima Qian once said in the "Historical Records" that 'I dare not say anything about all the monsters in the "Shan Hai Jing", let alone those of us who can make a judgment on our own.

"However, after removing all the gorgeous and complicated words filled in by later generations, and the camouflage of pictures, the most concise and simple pictures left may be the essence and original appearance of this masterpiece."

Hua Jiqiu finally nodded: "Xiao Mu makes sense."

Qin Ci: "If these four petroglyphs describe what happened in another world, then 'all beings' are all beings in another world."

Wei Dong: "No wonder these creatures are so weird and unimaginable. Maybe this kind of image is the general attitude of creatures from other worlds."

Qin Ci: "And my question is about the depiction of the Great Flood. There are traces of the Great Flood in the human world. How come there was a Great Flood in another world?"

Mu Yiran: "As for the great flood, looking for evidence from a theological point of view, it is probably the saying in some viewpoints that the great flood was caused by the collapse of the sky and the earth after the Gonggong crashed into the mountain in anger.

"From a scientific point of view, some people believe that the earth's climate changed drastically during that period, and there was a large-scale glacier activity, which led to the flood.

"But there is one thing worth noting. In the historical memory of that period, there are legends about the catastrophe of the flood almost all over the world. The ancient Babylonian saying is that 'the flood was accompanied by a storm, and it submerged the continent almost overnight. All the high mountains'; the ancient Mexican saying is "the sky is close to the earth, within one day, all people are extinct, and the mountains are also hidden in the flood"; the Indian saying is "a great flood occurred, and the surrounding became It was dark, and human beings were completely extinct like this'; the Mayan holy book said, 'This is a devastating catastrophe, a great flood, and people are drowning in the sticky rain that fell from the sky'; and mysterious, full of controversy and speculation The legendary Atlantis is said to have sunk in the great flood; the most famous of these is the record in the Bible that Noah's Ark was prepared for the great flood.

"This prehistoric flood is probably the most legendary and mysterious catastrophe in human history. There are memories and records of this flood in the cultures of so many countries and nations around the world. This seems to be sufficient. It proved that such a devastating disaster did occur in ancient times, which almost caused the extinction of the entire human race.

"Then the question is--where did this flood that covers almost the whole world come from? How did it happen? What kind of geological and climatic changes can cause this flood to occur in different geographical environments around the world at the same time? ?

"So far, no conclusive conclusions have been drawn from a scientific point of view, but from a theological point of view, it is not impossible for this disaster caused by the battle of the ancient gods to affect the other world buried deep in the ground. .

"Or what everyone speculated just now, maybe this flood is the witch prayer from another world, in order to destroy all living beings in the world, so as to provide them with the opportunity to invade."

"Is there such a possibility," Ke Xun said, "there are only two directions for the flood, one is to enter the sea, and the other is to enter the ground. A flood of the size of the prehistoric flood is likely to affect the underground Another world caused the same catastrophe, even more serious than the human world. After all, we are above, and the flood either entered the sea or entered the ground, and they were already underground. When the flood fell, there was nowhere to go.

"It's hard for them to survive underground, so they want to make a living elsewhere and find a new territory that can continue the race.

"At that time, Dayu, the leader of the human world, had almost cured the water, and the earth returned to life. Through their great witches with the power of observation, they observed that there was another world above them, so they decided to use ghost writing and witches' prayers. Force, open the barrier between the two worlds, and bring their "living beings" to the human world.

"A foreign race that wants to occupy our territory, how could we be willing to let them come up, so there is something happening later that Zhu Jiuding town seals the passage of the two worlds."

"This speculation is also very reliable." Qin Ci nodded.

"I also have a conjecture." Yue Cen stretched the lamb fleece blanket he was wearing to keep warm, and said calmly, "I think the patterns in the "Mountain and Sea Map" on our bones are composed of ghost characters. , not only the image of witch dance, but also the image of creatures from other worlds.

"I don't think the saying of casting tripods as images is empty. Dayu engraved the images of gods, ghosts and beasts on tripods in order to let the people know them, so that they can effectively deal with or avoid them, so as to protect their own lives." Safety - I think this statement is true.

"But the patterns on the Jiuding used to resemble objects, I guess, should not be ghosts and beasts from the human world, but creatures from other worlds.

"Perhaps Dayu, who was the leader of human beings at that time, and his great witch, after discovering the attempt of the other world, would also use the power of witch prayer to observe the other world, and cast the image of the other world observed on Jiuding superior.

"Because I was worried that creatures from other worlds would come to the human world through other methods, I engraved these images on the cauldron to make my people more vigilant.

"Besides, I think casting Jiuding with the image of another world is not just to post the image of the other world like a wanted notice, and to seal the passage between the two worlds.

"They may have a more important role and purpose—I don't know if you have heard of the idol curse technique?"
