Chapter 70 second quarter

What shocked me the most was the source of the blue light—yes, here I finally found the source of the blue halo, which is a towering pyramid. Different from the pyramids in Egypt, this pyramid is not on three sides, but on four sides, and the downward-sloping plane is not a smooth piece. It is more like the pyramids of the Mayans. top spot. The most peculiar thing is that the upward side of each step has a blue light shooting upwards. The steps of the same height can form a square, one circle after another. I counted it carefully, and there are eight circles in total.It's as spectacular as the neon lights that we see shooting into the sky in the city, but the landscapes created by human technology can't escape the traces of deliberation, but these eight blue halos are natural to the extreme.At first glance, it feels ordinary, and it has nothing to do with the grandeur. Only when you turn your head and don't look at it, the scene that reverberates in your mind will make your heart tremble.

At the top of this pyramid is a snake head carved out of unknown material, exuding colorful and brilliance, especially the pair of shining snake eyes, which make people daunting and chill all over.This snake head is obviously not the same material as the whole pyramid, because it does not emit light itself, but only reflects colorful brilliance when it is illuminated by blue light. The pyramid is more than 100 meters high, just a few hundred meters away from where we are standing. Because its brilliance is so dazzling, I was attracted by it the first moment I arrived here. Surrounding the pyramid is a series of low wooden huts, green grass protruding from the open space between the huts, and tall unknown trees stand in between, many people are busy in front of the house, men are knotting The net grinds the fork, the women are darning clothes, but the children are chasing and playing on the grass.

This is really a peaceful and comfortable pastoral scenery.If it wasn't for the diffuse blue light, I even doubted that I must be dreaming. Who would believe that there are human beings living underground in the desert?Moreover, they also live a quiet life isolated from the world, and there are even lush green grasses and towering plants growing here! Looking up, you can see the abrupt stone rocks reflected by eight blue halos. The high and low heights make these halos form irregular and peculiar patterns, and the lowest stone top is four to five hundred meters above the ground. I don't understand why such a strange geographical environment is formed here. It is clearly a desert with no grass, but here there are mountains, water, grass and trees, and even living humans, but there is no trace of sand grains!What's even more strange is that these human beings live together with the most ferocious and vicious anaconda in the world, and they can still coexist peacefully and live in peace?This is not a dream, because the scene in the dream is not so weird.

Just when I was in a huge spiritual shock and couldn't extricate myself, the bearded man had already guided us through the busy crowd, bypassed the small wooden houses, and arrived at the foot of the pyramid, where there was a stone house that was much taller than the other wooden houses. The bearded man stopped outside the door. I think this should be the residence of the chief. The bearded man ordered the others to take back the poisonous snake wrapped around us, stood respectfully at the door and shouted something into the house twice.I glanced at Ningxue, she raised her chin and pointed to the stone house, indicating that the bearded man was asking for instructions from the people in the house.

There was no response from the room, but the stone door was slowly opened.The bearded man pointed inward, beckoning us to go in, and then stepped aside. I strode in first, and Ningxue followed behind me.There was no light in the room, and there was a skylight on the corner of the roof close to the pyramid, and the huge snake head on the top of the pyramid just happened to be fully exposed in the skylight.The whole stone house also keeps changing its light according to the change of its color. After a few seconds, the eyes adapted to the darkness in the room, and various furnishings here also came into view.

This is actually a hall. The whole stone house is a spacious hall without any separation. The biggest visual impact to me is the coiled snake shape of the room: the stone table is in the shape of a coiled big snake, and the pillars They are all carved in the shape of snakes. The stone chair is the head of an anaconda with its mouth open and spitting out the letter. Even the stone steps leading to the round platform directly from the skylight are in the shape of colorful snakes. The chief was sitting on the round platform, sitting on a snake chair with a red letter spit out, and his whole body was more like a cancerous tumor growing on the snake letter.A crooked wooden crutch is held in his bone-like palm, which reminds me of Ouyang Feng in the movie, but there is no poisonous snake coiled on this crutch, but the cold "eyes" on the head of the crutch make my heart ache. Fear.

The old man is short and skinny, and his protruding forehead shows his wisdom. He looked at me and Ningxue, smiled slightly and said something that surprised me: "Two guests from afar, please sit down." I understand this sentence, because he speaks Chinese, although it is not very standard, but it is completely understandable Chinese. There was a stone chair behind me, I hesitated and sat on it.But Ningxue frowned for a while and stood behind me with her hands behind her back. "Hello, I really didn't expect you to understand our language?" I asked bluntly. The old man laughed: "There are many languages ​​in the world. Although they are different, a language is a language. As long as you find the tricks, it will not take much effort to learn."

I don't have any talent in language, let alone other languages, even Mandarin in the north and south of China, I have to work hard to figure it out.Maybe, Ningxue will agree with his point of view, but I don't agree with it. "I've been waiting for you, and now it's finally here!" the old man continued. "Waiting for us?" I couldn't understand what he meant, so I raised my voice and asked, "What are we waiting for?" The old chief smiled kindly, stood up and walked to a table that looked like an altar, picked up a stone pillar that was about a foot long, and handed it to me. He said slowly: "I will give this to you, this is the mission entrusted to me by the envoy of God, and now I have completed my mission!"

This stone pillar is heavy, about as thick as a child's arm. Rather than saying it is a stone pillar, it is better to say that it is a horn carved out of stone, because it is curved to one side, like a broken horn. horns.But the horn that looks like a stone is as smooth as jade, and the tentacles are cold, I don't know what kind of stone it is. I raised my head and looked at the old chief suspiciously: "I'm a little confused now, I don't know what's going on here?" The old man gave me a clear look, and said: "Then I will tell you from the beginning, and you will understand after listening."

I stroked the cold horn in my hand and nodded. "A long time ago, we Teda people accepted God's will and began to guard this place..." Ningxue suddenly interrupted him at this moment, asking: "God's will?" The old man stared at Ningxue with strange eyes, because Ningxue was standing behind me, I couldn't see her expression, but I think she would feel uncomfortable from this kind of eyes, because whenever the old man's eyes were on me When I brushed across my face, my heart would suddenly move.The old man looked at her for a few seconds and said with a smile, "Yes, God's will."

I hurriedly asked: "I don't quite understand what you mean by this sentence. What does it mean a long time ago? What do guards mean?" The old man pointed to the wall behind him, and behind this wall was a pyramid emitting a strange blue light: "A long time ago, when human beings first existed, we, as servants of God, were placed here because It's guarding what's behind this wall, and that's why you're here." I nodded my head half-understood, motioning for him to continue. "Our gods taught us how to raise livestock, and also taught us how to deal with big snakes. With cattle, sheep and livestock, we can live here forever and reproduce. With the help of big snakes, we can subdue anyone who wants to peep The secret enemy of the gods!" In the West, it is believed that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit to produce human beings.But in China, most common people believe that Nu Wa made man out of earth.Every nation has its own mythology system, and the mythology system of each nation begins with the creation of human beings. Compared with other more absurd myths and legends, it seems insufficient to respect the oracle and guard the gods. Surprised. "As God's servants, our mission of survival is to guard this place. Our God told us that one day in the future, God's messengers will hold the key to open the temple to inspect our loyalty and take back God's holy things. At that point, we will have finished our mission! "A thousand years ago, the chieftain at that time was bewitched by the devil and did something blasphemy. This angered the gods, and he brought a catastrophe to us, making us buried forever in the ground, without seeing the sun And the descendants of that chief were also punished as they should be, and were thrown into the hell of the Tuotuoye River, where they will not be reborn forever!" When the old chief said this, his face was solemn, and the piety in his eyes even surpassed that of me, who never believed in God. Atheists also felt a shudder in their hearts. The old chief said the same thing as the other chief in Medabangaon, but it was completely different, and the first thought that popped into my mind was: Theta of Medabangaon Is man the descendant of the chief who blasphemed the gods?If this is the case, the result will be quite dramatic: those who blaspheme the gods can escape, while those who abide by the will of the gods are buried deep in the ground, then the gods are not only incapable of discerning, they are a bit indiscriminate between good and bad up? Of course, I don’t believe in the theory of gods at all. If the superstition is stripped off, what happened is likely to be like this. A thousand years ago, when an old chief was doing something blasphemous, natural disasters happened to happen, and the raging Yellow River The sand buried it in an instant.It is even more coincidental that the chief and his descendants were brought into the Tuotuoye River by a sudden natural disaster, and drifted out of the range covered by sand and dust along with the river.There are always many coincidences in the world, and it is these coincidences that make life more colorful. Of course, I just thought these words in my heart, and it is impossible and I dare not say them out. If the chief knew the result, he would definitely think that I am also a blasphemy fanatic.Here, after all, I am just an intruder who cannot control my own destiny.But there is one question I must ask clearly: "What blasphemy did that old chief do? To suffer such a disaster?"
