Chapter 96 The Temple
After watching it obsessed for a long time, Ye Yian finally reached out to his hand.
As soon as his fingers stroked the cold and thick huge blade of the Rising Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword, it was like a hidden dragon in the abyss suddenly soaring and turning into a flying dragon in the sky. In a trance, Ye Yian felt a silent roar like a rushing tide suddenly sounded in his heart.
This silent roar that suddenly seemed to exist was too strong. In an instant, Ye Yian's tenacious mind was also taken away by it.
After a brief blank space between his heart and mind, Ye Yian felt a sudden sting of pain in his fingers. When he looked down, he seemed to be crazy. At some point, his fingertips actually stroked the blade of the Rising Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword. At this time, there was a deep hole in his fingertips.
The bright red blood flowed out, but no drop fell to the ground. Instead, it turned into a red line and swam along the edge of the blade of the Sky-Slaying Ghost Slaying Sword. Finally, after wrapping all the entire paper-thin blade, it slowly penetrated into the blade.
Then the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword returned to long-lasting silence, with its simple style and dark blade body. Apart from the shocking width and length, the knife had no slight attention, and it merged with the darkness around it seamlessly.
A big dark sword!
A man wandering in the darkness!
A perfect match!
When Ye Yian took back his fingers that had stopped bleeding, he became more obsessed with the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword, and his heart became more surprised.
The abnormality of the blade absorbing human blood just now proved that this knife was originally created by human blood sacrifice, just like the legendary famous sword Gan Jiang Mo Ye who needed to use the blood of the sword-casting master as a sacrifice before he could become a weapon. If it weren't for the peerless famous soldiers, it would not have been like this.
Therefore, even if we put aside the densely packed mantle of Fu Yunwen, this ghost-breaking sword is still a famous tool.
Because there is a restriction in the cave here that cannot use the elixir power, Ye Yian had to return to the secret passage outside the restriction range with the Sky-Splitting Ghost Sword, and then put the domineering sword into the universe in his sleeve.
This process is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do. It would be fine if it could not make a sound. What's even more terrible is that the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword is too heavy, far heavier than its huge shape. If Ye Yian had not had the power of the alchemy flowing in his body, he would have been helpless in the face of such a giant sword weighing hundreds of pounds and sighing.
Back to the secret passage, Ye Yian drove the Dan power to put the Tianjian ghost sword into the sleeve, but the Dan power suddenly left the guide and transported route and flowed into the blade. Then the complex cloud writing carved on the blade was lit up one after another.
With the experience of the blood sacrifice just now, Ye Yian was not panicked when facing this abnormality. Not only did he not restrict the pill power flowing to the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword, but he deliberately guided it to slowly send it in.
When the complex cloud writings of the entire blade were lit up, the original dark sword of the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword suddenly turned into deep blue, and the green light was soft and crystal clear. Suddenly, this simple giant sword suddenly showed a dazzling color, just like a carved of the most precious jade in the world, with a luxurious and magnificent eyebrow.
The whole body was deep and green for not long. Soon, the blade turned into black again under the power of the elixir being guided into. The black color was completely different from its original dry darkness. It was bright and bright, just like the light of the spirit stone light that was stained with the original spiritual power of the heaven and earth in the center of Fengge Mountain's spiritual eyes.
First it is deep green and then it is mysterious and black, which is exactly the original color of Ye Yian's "The Secret Method of Pupal Butterfly" Condensation Pill.
When the Xuanhei flowing light faded, the complex and complex Yunwen on the blade also became dim. As the pill power was guided back to the body of the body, the Rising Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword returned to the inconspicuous dryness and simplicity. The only difference was that the huge blade body shrank several times with Ye Yian's intention.
At this time, this domineering sword is no different from the ordinary sword weapon in the world, and it is even more inconspicuous.
He just lost the Full Moon Scimitar and got such a big and small sword in a blink of an eye. While Ye Yian was in a good mood, he also regretted that it was really inconvenient here, which made it impossible for him to test the power of the Sky-Slaying Ghost Sword.
After putting the sword in his sleeves with his stern and his body was slackened back to the cave where the statue was located, Ye Yian, who was quick to fall down, followed the secret passage.
Invisible in the shadow behind the statue, Ye Yian carefully looked at the entire cave. What he saw was shockingly huge and unexpectedly simple.
The uneven ground and the dome with mixed stone marks all show that the mysterious place buried deep at the bottom of the Black Water Lake was originally a huge natural cave. Although it was cleaned up by people later, this kind of cleaning was basically simple and not much difference from not cleaning up.
The cave is empty because of its hugeness, making this emptiness even more empty. The only thing that is all in between are two statues that are also extremely huge, but the carvings are terrible.
In addition, the only things in this cave are the burning traces that can be seen everywhere and the rock paintings covering the entire bottom of the stone wall.
The burning traces were obviously the result of many people making fires here. As for the rock paintings, they were rough and simple, not only with single colors, but also with no painting techniques. When Ye Yian looked at them roughly, he felt like a group of three-year-old children picked up a stone and painted them on the wall.
After looking at the cave that was so empty that it was unobstructed, Ye Yian shook his head. Unexpectedly, after going through twists and turns, what was finally revealed was such an inconspicuous and simple place. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a treasure hidden in heaven and earth.
At this time, the simple stone gate added by the cave people had already opened, and the light penetrated from this. The fourteen Taoists attracted by the virtual appearance and the talisman array all entered the cave. They formed a seven-star formation in front of another huge statue, sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures.
Their chanting lasted for a long time, and there was no other action. Because the cave was too big and could not use the power of the alchemy, Ye Yian could not even find out what they were reciting.
After spending a lot of effort, people would not just recite scriptures here to recite these magical channels that can drive the great power talisman arrays. It is precisely because of this thought that Ye Yian did not withdraw, and he hid himself in a deep position waiting for the Taoists to reveal the answer.
After waiting for a long time, Ye Yian simply took advantage of the dim light to look at the rock paintings on the cave stone walls.
These rock paintings with no technique at all, just outlined by simple and crude lines are very single, and are basically repetitive. In the effective picture, Ye Yian looked at it for a long time before recognizing that the first picture was a person curled up in a ball of his stomach, which was extremely painful.
The following pictures are similar to this, although the parts they cover are different, they are all the same pain.
Then, the content of the mural changed. The painting was about someone collecting different grass stems and fruit trees to eat, but after eating, it was as painful as the previous pictures, and even lay directly on the ground, looking at the meaning in the painting, it was clearly dead.
Ye Yian spent a lot of effort to understand the meaning of these really crude pictures. After that, more than a dozen pictures were similar to this, all of which said that different people collected different things, but they became poisoned after taking them, either incredibly painful, or died directly.
After the series of pictures ended, the content changed again. This time, a person appeared. Judging from the twisted lines on the picture, it seemed that he was a young woman. When the woman was on a trip, she accidentally saw a huge rock naturally formed in the mountain that looked like the head of a dragon. She stood under the huge rock for a long time. The next rock painting said that as soon as she returned, her belly became bigger inexplicably.
The next painting is that she gave birth to a son. At this point, the first person in the simple rock painting is finally portrayed more and has a relatively clear image. The son born to a young woman inexplicably is actually a freak with a dragon head.
Seeing this, Ye Yian's heart suddenly moved. The content of a classic that he had seen when he was studying in Xiaogu, Wuyin Mountain, suddenly came to his heart.
Shennong!
These rock paintings are actually the story of Shennong, one of the three ancient emperors!
The book Ye Yian read before was "The Century of the Emperor" written by Huangfu Mi, Mr. Xuanyan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is a book that specifically describes the lineage, age and deeds of the emperor. It is a book about the Three Emperors and the lower reaches of the Han and Wei dynasties. The content is mostly collected from classics, pictures and miscellaneous books of various philosophers, and it records many historical events that are missing but not prepared by the "Records of the Grand Historian" and the "Book of Han", which are well-known.
According to the "Imperial Century", Shennong's original surname was Jiang. His mother An Deng was born in the Youqi tribe and later married the king of the neighboring Shaodian tribe as a concubine. One day, An Deng happened to see a stone dragon when he was traveling to the sun in Huashan. Because of his feelings, he became pregnant after returning and gave birth to a dragon head.
When this naturally weird son grew up, he was virtuous. He taught the people to plant grains, develop agriculture, tasted hundreds of herbs, and pioneered medical science. He was deeply respected and loved by ancient ancestors. He respectfully called him the god of agriculture and was called Shennong. In the record, the place where he tasted hundreds of herbs was the vast Shennongling near Xiangzhou. He eventually died in Shennongling because of the excessive poison accumulation in his body.
It can be said that the name of Shennongling originated from Shennong.
At this point, the origin of this mysterious cave was self-evident - this is the temple where ancient ancestors worshiped Shennong. These dense rock paintings painted the origin of Shennong and his great contributions.
Ye Yian let out a long breath quietly, and when he looked at the simple and crude cave in front of him, a different feeling suddenly surged into his heart.
How many years have it been since the Shennong era, one of the three emperors of the ancient times?
Thousands of years later, he came to this place where the ancient ancestors worshiped and worshipped, thinking about the great prehistoric era when many gods emerged. How could he not make people feel surging and full of thoughts!
As for the fact that I had secretly mocked the simplicity of this place just now, it was so shallow.
After a long time, Ye Yian's mind was completely calmed down. While the Taoists were just concentrating on chanting scriptures, he ventured out to visit the shadow where he hid and saw that one of the two huge statues erected in the cave was the human body and dragon head.
When he returned to the shadow, Ye Yian's brows frowned slightly. The two statues were Shennong with a human body and a dragon head, and the other was a woman with a human head and a snake head.
Although the statue of Shennong is upright, its upper body shows a woman bowing toward the human head and snake body. The woman is holding a thick bamboo slip in her hand, as if she is about to give it to Shennong.
Ye Yian's impression is that the only one who fits the image of a human-headed snake is Nuwa, the ancestor goddess known as the Emperor Wa. There are many stories about Nuwa creating humans and repairing the sky, which is well known to everyone.
However, it was never recorded that Nuwa gave books to Shennong, one of the Three Emperors, in the ancient times, and there were no legends related to it.
In this case, why did such a sculpture appear in this form in the Shennong Temple, which was left in ancient times? If this was true, why did many other things about Shennong be recorded and passed down, and this major event that was destined to be a sensation at that time was so completely destroyed in the long river of history?
If this was not the case, how could the simple and ingenious ancestors of the ancients in the "Tao Te Ching" spend endless manpower to erect two sculptures like this?
In addition, just as the sculpture shows, what exactly is recorded in the book that the ancestor goddess God Wa Emperor wanted to grant Shennong?
