NOVEL NEXT Chapter 410 The contents of the mural!
Going down the narrow tunnel, Su Mo and others soon came to a very humid cave.
This is obviously a man-made cave, but it should not be a product of the same era as the tunnel just now, because one is entirely made of cement, while the other is made of large stones, which is very rough.
Holding torches and exploring forward little by little, the group finally stopped when they found a large statue.
The statue was almost 2 meters tall, had hands and feet, and was wearing ancient clothes. But the strange thing was that the face on her head was empty, and it looked a bit eerie under the firelight.
KOKIA was startled and asked with some fear: "Why does this statue have no face?"
Su Mo didn't understand either, so he said, "Don't worry about it. Try not to touch the things around you."
Then the group continued to move forward, but as soon as Su Mo approached the statue, a burst of laughter came from his ears: "Ah, such a familiar smell, I really miss it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo felt as if something was being pulled out of his body.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around and asked, "Did you hear that?"
KOKIA was originally frightened by the weird statue, and now she almost screamed: "There is no sound, don't be scary!"
Su Mo frowned at her and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he could only continue walking forward.
Soon, a mural appeared in front of him.
Before the advent of writing, murals were the best means of recording events. Su Mo immediately raised a torch and illuminated the murals.
The content on the mural is: Some terrifying creatures have invaded the island. They are all bloodthirsty, huge, and invincible to humans.
Just when the residents of the island were about to suffer a disaster, a passing witch suddenly summoned thunder and lightning and killed a huge terrifying creature.
All the residents on the island were grateful to the witch, kowtowed to her and prayed for her help.
The witch commanded the wind and rain and led the islanders to drive all the terrifying creatures on the island back into the sea.
"Is this the story of Queen Himihu?" KOKIA asked with some uncertainty.
Su Mo nodded, he thought so in his heart, and he was also very familiar with those terrifying creatures, almost all of which were ancient creatures from the Evil Sea.
However, the fact that the witch or Himihu can attract thunder and lightning may be exaggerated. After all, many emperors in ancient times regarded themselves as emperors, and they mostly wanted to use this to enslave the people. The murals here may just want to express that it was this witch who led the islanders to drive away those ancient creatures.
These murals almost occupied an entire stone wall. Su Mo held up a torch and looked at them as he walked, as if he were looking at a scroll, and he quickly understood the content behind them.
In order to thank the witch, the islanders built a palace for her and regarded her as their king.
Next, the content on the mural changed to war scenes. Under the leadership of the witch, the islanders quickly doubled their territory as if with divine help.
However, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people around the witch. She also lived in an empty palace, and her body gradually became stooped. It seemed that she wanted to say that the queen was getting older, and the people who originally followed her were also getting older. Gradually die.
The content behind it even surprised several people.
The witch had reached the age of dying, but she left Yamatai by boat and went to the distant east.
When she returned, she had a staff in her hand, and the islanders held a ceremony.
In the mural, a girl is tied to a fire, and people are worshiping in front of the fire.
Then, the witch and the girl came to a house. Later, only the girl left the room. She put the witch's crown on her head, and the facial features on her face disappeared and became blank.
"Does this mean that this girl has inherited the throne?"
As soon as KOKIA finished speaking, Aphrodite, who had been silent, shook her head: "No, look at her face."
"blank?"
KOKIA still hasn't turned a corner.
Aphrodite explained: "Well, my understanding is that the old queen took over the body of the young girl and gained a new life."
Hearing this, KOKIA opened her mouth wide and was speechless.
Su Mo said: "This has the same meaning as what the commander said about reincarnation and what Steve said about reincarnation, but I still think this is an exaggeration!"
"Yes." KOKIA nodded: "If you can do this, can you actually have infinite matryoshkas and survive forever?"
"Let's keep looking down."
As Su Mo said this, he walked forward and continued to look at the murals on the wall.
Under the long-term leadership of the Queen, Yamatai became more and more prosperous, but the sacrificial rituals were performed more and more frequently, and each time they were performed, the interval between the next ones became shorter, as if this ritual had great side effects. generally.
The queen was very dissatisfied with this situation. He used a black gem on the scepter to strengthen his warriors. Some of them were infinitely powerful, some were as fast as lightning, some were tireless, and even some were as demanding as Su Mo. Ask for the limitless.
These warriors became the queen's most loyal fans. They all went out to find suitable girls, hoping to obtain a body for the queen once and for all that could be used for many years. However, they found nothing and instead killed many innocent people.
This behavior also completely angered the residents of the country, but because of the Queen's magical power, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
It was not until the next sacrifice ceremony began that the girl who was sacrificed finally decided to resist. After she and the queen entered the secret room, she stabbed the queen with a dagger, and then stole the black gem on the queen's scepter, still resisting. With the help of the islanders, the Queen fled away and never came back.
The queen's original body has been damaged, but there is no new body to use. The people who originally opposed her usurped the throne and established a new king.
In anger, the queen turned into a terrible wraith. Her anger set off terrifying storms and thunder and lightning around Yamatai's main island, and the terrifying creatures that were driven into the sea returned. The once prosperous Yamatai fell and was completely destroyed soon after.
The mural ends here.
Seeing this, several people present were silent.
The black stone that appeared in the pyramid at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, Steve said at the time that it came from Yamatai, and in the story told on the mural now, a sacrifice stabbed the queen and stole the black stone.
Is this a coincidence or fact?
If this is true, then perhaps Queen Himihu's soul is still alive, just waiting for a suitable body.
If it was a coincidence, how could we explain the person in the mural who had the same negative impact as Su Mo?
