Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Prehistoric Longze Myths and Legends

Kaxingbu sent a few pachycephalosaurs, because Longze did not seem to be a very safe place. The pachycephalosaurs were flexible in movement, strong in collisions, and quite capable of protecting riders, so a group of people went to Longze. On the road to Ze, I rely on these pachycephalosaurus. Yangfeng still didn't want to ride any dinosaurs, he turned into a water curtain again under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone, and followed the team forward. Longze is in the east of the valley, passing through several dense forests and large swamps in the deep mountains along the way, and you can occasionally see mammals like bears and tigers along the way.

Di Menghun and Yao Sheng are both experts in biology. Looking at the ecology along the road, they couldn't help smiling wryly. The ecosystem in this area seems to be a big joke with biology in the history of civilization. Dinosaurs and mammals coexist under the same ecosystem. Compared with Yao Sheng, Di Menghun also has a special knowledge. Besides ancient zoology, Di Menghun also dabbles in prehistoric plants. The closer he gets to Longze, a strange phenomenon becomes more obvious. That is, many extinct plants of the Cretaceous era have appeared along the road. Walking through a hot and humid swamp, even the air seemed to have changed.

At this very rare moment, Yangfeng changed from a water curtain to a human form, and walked beside the dragon team. "Di Menghun," Yang Feng followed Di Menghun's mount and whispered, "There is something wrong, the sense of time and space here is completely different from outside." Yao Sheng's horse was running in front of Di Menghun, she turned her head and looked at the two of them in surprise amidst the bumps. "The humidity, temperature, and air pressure are also weird," Yangfeng continued, "From a certain angle, I have that weird feeling of being in another time and space."

Walking through the swamp, the eyes suddenly opened up. Looking around, there are dozens of huge pillars standing on the plain. The pillars have obviously been around for a long time, and they are covered with grass and moss, standing majestically. Above the space, it seems to have reached the clouds. "It doesn't look like a natural thing," Yao Sheng looked up in admiration when passing those pillars, "but I don't think such a tall object can be built with the dragon civilization." "There's a lot of grass and moss," she said at last. Kassingbull stopped his mount and turned around to look at the dozens of huge pillars.

"Those are the dragon pillars. According to the old legend, the dragon pillars fell from the sky overnight, and they are alive, because the number is always changing, sometimes more, sometimes less." Di Menghun didn't understand what Kaxingbu meant by "sometimes more, sometimes less", so he could only regard it as another type of dragon myth. After passing the Dragon Pillar, we are almost at Longze.At this time, they have entered a world completely different from the yellow sandy land outside. There are huge prehistoric giant ferns everywhere, and the air is full of sticky dampness.Di Menghun is no stranger to such a world, because not long ago, Siluoyang's special forces often set out missions in this Cretaceous time and space.

However, this is clearly a semi-reliable historical era more than 3,000 years ago, and I don’t know how long it is from 65 million years. Why did a Cretaceous forest appear on the Huanghuai Plain in ancient China? The group of people forded a clear river at this time, and here, they have already arrived at Longze. "Starting from this place, there will be raptors," Kasimbu cautiously reminded: "Be careful." A gloomy roar came from the depths of the dense forest in the distance, which seemed to confirm his words. Di Menghun took a deep breath, feeling both excited and nervous.

"The mysterious land of the gods is right here." Kaxingbu said, while driving the pachycephalosaurus under him, he walked into a mountain wall. After walking on the long and narrow mountain wall for a while, a ray of light gradually appeared in front of him. Di Menghun saw the light in front of him, and found that they had already walked in front of a huge cliff. "It's right here." With a religious and reverent expression, Kaxingbu made room for everyone to see the cliff. Not a single blade of grass grows on that huge cliff, and murals are painted one after another with ancient clumsy brushwork, and I don't know what kind of material they are painted on. The lines of each mural are simple, and the colors are mostly red, black, and green. The appearance is vivid, but I don't know what kind of method can be used to paint such a huge mural.

The first painting depicts an eggshell-shaped chaotic world. An indistinguishable giant smashes the eggshell with an unknown weapon, trying to break free from the chaos. "Our ancestors say that this is how the Dragon Clan appeared," said Kassingbu, with a puzzled look on his face. "However, among our ancestral gods, there has never been such a god." Di Menghun and Yao Sheng looked at each other thoughtfully. Although many ancient legends have been lost after the ravages of the Superman War in the 22nd century AD, the picture in front of us is still a widely circulated ancient Chinese fairy tale in the 24th century.

Pangu opened the sky. According to ancient Chinese legends, the universe was in chaos at the beginning, without stars, sun, and moon. Later, Pangu, the founding god, swung an ax and divided the sky and earth into two, separating rivers, rivers, sun, and stars, and the whole world came into being. The second picture is a battle between two groups of people. One side uses red pen as the line, and the other side draws with gray and black lines. The lines of the two groups of people are simple, but it is obvious that they are fighting to the death.Among the red figures, one is the tallest, with several red lines around it, which seem to represent endless heat and luminosity.

The posture of the largest human figure is strange, stretching its limbs in a very strange posture, and there are strange symbols on its body. "This is the battlefield where the water gods and fire gods fought in the ancestors' era," Kaxingbu continued to explain: "It is said that the two gods of water and fire fought in the sky and the earth because of their anger, and many people and dragons died." Di Menghun was fascinated by the silent and tragic battle of the crowd, and suddenly heard someone gasp behind him, but saw Yang Feng staring at the mural with wide eyes, showing a horrified expression.

Di Menghun knew that "Shui" Yangfeng of the Pandora Nucleic Acid Police Force was a tough man, not someone who was easily surprised.In fact, Di Menghun had never seen Yangfeng being emotional before, but at this moment, Yangfeng was just staring at the mural of the water god and fire god fighting, unaware of Di Menghun's surprised eyes. The third picture depicts four heavenly pillars, a black and gray figure crashes into one of the pillars, the stars in the sky are tilted to the east, and cracks appear on the ground. Ka Xingbu couldn't make sense of this picture. The legend of the old man of the Dragon Clan ended with this mural, and he had no idea about the rest of it. Unlike Di Menghun, Yao Sheng had worked hard in ancient Chinese history, so he didn't understand the meaning of this mural.However, Di Menghun knew it. Judging from this picture, the content is about the mythical story of the water god Gonggong knocking down the Buzhou Mountain. "In the legend, Gonggong, the god of water, fought with the god of fire," Di Menghun explained, pointing at Yangfeng with ease: "The Dragon Clan said that you are the god of water, Gonggong. Anyway, Gonggong, the god of water, and Zhurong, the god of fire, fought. , was defeated, and angrily smashed into the Buzhou Mountain, one of the pillars of heaven, and distorted the celestial body, tilting the sun, moon, and stars, and changing the color of the sky and the earth..." "Wait," Yang Fengru hurriedly asked after waking up from a dream, "Tell me, what do you call Vulcan?" "Zhu Rong." Di Menghun said, "Actually, many Chinese in later generations also use this term to represent fire." "Zhu Rong..." Yang Feng muttered, "Scarlet..." "What?" Di Menghun wondered. Yang Feng didn't say anything, just continued to stare at the painting. "After the water god Gonggong knocked down the sky pillar, the sky collapsed, and a catastrophe occurred in the world and in the sky, so the next picture shows what happened after the catastrophe." Di Menghun patiently said to everyone, and pointed the next mural. In the painting, a woman with a human head and a snake body is cooking something, pointing towards the collapsing sky. "Nuwa, a goddess with a human head and a snake body, killed a giant tortoise and cooked five-colored stones to mend the sky with the turtle shell, and saved the whole world. This painting tells the story of Nuwa mending the sky." Di Menghun said: "Generally speaking, , and some legends regard Nuwa as the god of creation." The next picture is more intriguing. It uses a relatively rare white series of paints to draw a man in unclothed clothes and big sleeves, holding a khaki-yellow object, and handing it to a group of people who are obviously much smaller. However, the group of people There are many small creatures behind them. When you look closely, you can vaguely recognize them from the characteristics of the creatures. They are all dinosaur-like animals, but they are much smaller than the group of people. Among these murals, this one has the most complicated lines and the most colors. "I don't understand this painting." Di Menghun shrugged and looked back at Ka Xingbu: "Is there such a story in the legends of your ancestors?" Kayubu thought for a long time, his eyes flickering. "No." He said uncomfortably, avoiding Di Menghun's gaze. Di Menghun saw his expression and secretly thought it was funny. "Bold!" He falsely reprimanded: "Before the gods, do you still dare to deceive?" Kaxingbu was startled, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "It's not that the villain deceived the gods...it's really...it's..." He hesitated for a long time before he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "What this painting says is the secret of the Dragon Clan. Except for the trusted children, outsiders will have no way of knowing it." "Go ahead." Di Menghun pretended to be cold and said. "A long time ago, the lord of the dragon clan obtained the secret of raising dragons from the white-clothed god, and he also obtained dragons in the plains, and he has made a career of raising dragons up to now," Kaxingbu said, "Because the matter is so important, it is absolutely not allowed to The secret is out." Yao Sheng listened carefully, and couldn't help asking a question when he heard this. "The secret of the dragon? Is it something that the white-clothed god gave to your ancestors?" She pointed to the khaki object that the white-clothed man gave to the dragon clan in the mural: "What is that?" "My family members call it the 'Dragon Crown'. All dragon control, fertility, and healing are guided by the 'Dragon Crown'. The Dragon Crown was lost for several days due to wars when my ancestors were young. At that time, the dragons were noisy. It is difficult to establish peace, and it will almost lead to a catastrophe." Finally, Kassingbu said this. Di Menghun and Yao Sheng glanced at each other, wishing they could see this incomparably mysterious dragon crown immediately. "The god in white clothes..." Di Menghun suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Do you have a name?" "After the ancestors, the name of the white-clothed god has not been handed down..." Kaxingbu tried hard to recall: "But when I was young, I heard my ancestors say that the white-clothed god came from Nandoujian, and it is unpredictable, and it is difficult for gods and ghosts." After listening to Kaxingbu's narration with great interest, Di Menghun turned around and saw that Yang Feng was still concentrating on the mural of the battle between the God of Water and the God of Fire, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem. The last painting is a thrilling and cruel battle. There are several dead bodies lying on the ground. Two people are fighting with weapons. One of them swings the weapon, and the head of the other person falls in response. There is still a gap between the chest and abdomen. prepared face. Although this painting is unimaginable, the scene is not unfamiliar. A poet in ancient China once wrote a poem about this myth. "Xing Tianwu is a relative, and his fierce will is always there." In ancient times, the traitorous god Xingtian challenged Xuanyuan, who was the leader of the time, and was beheaded by Xuanyuan on Changyang Mountain. The headless body was still alive, and he was swinging a huge ax on Changyang Mountain all day long. The murals on the stone wall stop here, and they all tell stories from ancient Chinese myths, but for Di Menghun and others, it was the first time in their lives to see such vivid images. Suddenly, Kaxingbu's old voice began to sing loudly, followed by several dragon warriors who came with the team and began to sing along with his singing. It was a sad song very similar to "Song of Burying the Dragon". The songs, like the songs of the dragon clan, all have such tragic feelings. The singing voices of several people echoed between the mountain walls, and those majestic and huge murals came into view, which made people feel a sense of melancholy. The singing gradually stopped, and Ka Xingbu looked at Di Menghun and suddenly knelt down on the ground, followed by several dragon warriors behind him. "Please God-man guide us to wait for the dragon clan," Kaxingbu said sincerely, "Let my dragon clan prosper for generations and never stop." Before Di Menghun could speak, suddenly, Yangfeng let out a roar, and a water force field appeared on his body, staring intently at the other side of the mountain wall. In that direction, there was a gloomy but ubiquitous roar. "There is a change," Yang Feng said in a deep voice, "It's a huge beast." At this moment, the place where the crowd was located was some distance away from the entrance, and the ferocious roar appeared between the crowd and the entrance, forming a siege. The roar gradually approached, and flashing out from the gap on the mountain wall were two Tyrannosaurus rex taller and bigger than the house. The two tyrannosaurus rex looked at this group of small humans from a distance, and roared ferociously again, the roar shook the mountain wall and buzzed. "Look!" Di Menghun glared at Ka Xingbu and the others complainingly, "What kind of song is sung in this kind of place!" However, Kaxingbu showed no fear, just staring at the direction of the Tyrannosaurus rex. Several pachycephalosaurus used for mounts moved uneasily. Kaxingbu took out a leather bag from his luggage, ignoring the two approaching dragons. And the Tyrannosaurus rex with teeth and claws. What Kaxingbu took out from the leather bag was a strangely shaped helmet, dark yellow in color, and the material didn't look like metal, but it didn't look like wood either. To put it bluntly, it looked like the plastic steel material of the early industrial age. I saw Kaxingbu put the strange helmet on, concentrating for a moment, and shouted loudly into the air. "Ying Long!" He yelled suddenly, and looked at the two ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex with full confidence. At this time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was already getting closer to the crowd. Di Menghun and Yao Sheng were about to run away. Yang Feng clasped his hands and sent out a water force field to hit the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him, causing colorful splashes to stop the Tyrannosaurus Rex. It didn't do them any harm, just looked around curiously, and let out another roar, like two huge birds, jumping towards the direction of everyone. "Run fast!" Di Menghun yelled at Ka Xingbu, frantically trying to find cover, but the front of the mountain wall was bare, not even a small hole could be found. Suddenly, the sky became dark. Di Menghun raised his head and saw that half of the sky was covered by a huge flying beast. Nearly fifty meters long, it descended from the sky like a long snake, and its tiny wings flapped in the air, making a soft swishing sound.It stretched out its sharp claws, and it stayed in the sky above the Tyrannosaurus rex, skillfully preventing them from going towards everyone. Tyrannosaurus rex let out a mournful cry to the sky, and fled quickly. Di Menghun had only seen Yinglong fighting twice, but he had never seen Yinglong make a move. He scared his opponent away just by his aura. After the tyrannosaurus rex escaped, the huge Yinglong lingered for a while, floated up along the air current, and disappeared in the sky. Wearing a dragon crown on his head, Kaxingbu stared blankly at the sky where Yinglong was leaving, and muttered to himself, "Do we, the Dragon Clan, have the destiny to prosper for generations?"
