Chapter 377: The dragon leads the way
In the legends of southern Yunnan, things related to snakes make people think of snake concubines.
This figure who in legend ended the rule of the King of Dian and buried the ancient Dian Kingdom can be said to be an indispensable figure in the legends of southern Yunnan.
Judging from the scenes in Tiger Mountain, it seems that their family is the original master of southern Yunnan, or is a ruler or a prince. It may even be related to a branch of the Fuxi tribe that migrated here.
"If Concubine Snake had really mastered these dragons...and been able to control them, it would have been impossible for Zhuang Qi to establish the ancient Dian Kingdom in southern Yunnan."
"Such a giant python monster, usually the protection of its scales is enough to make them invulnerable." Jiang Xian recalled the snake bones he saw in the Laohushan underground palace: "In ancient times, they were invincible weapons, unless the dragon did not obey the control at all."
"Otherwise, even with limited control, you can become king in a region."
etc……
His mind was racing, and he suddenly thought of the legend of the Snake Concubine that Professor Zhao told on the first day he came here:
"According to the legend that Professor Zhao mentioned before, when the Snake Concubine defeated the King of Dian, she seized the secret treasure of the Dian Kingdom and was able to use some of the secret treasure's effects, which led to all the subsequent events that caused the ancient Dian Kingdom to disappear from history."
"If... the so-called secret treasure of the Dian Kingdom was originally from the lineage of Snake Concubine, then it seems to make sense that she can use the secret treasure a little bit."
"Because that is the treasure of their lineage."
"As for the fact that it can only be used slightly, it may be due to the lack of inheritance or other reasons."
When the thought came to this, Jiang Xian's brows relaxed, and a voice suddenly came to his ears: "Professor Zhao, according to what you said before, this dragon evolved from a snake. But there are no legends about it near Fuxian Lake. There is one thing.
It’s the big black fish in the water.”
"Could it be that... it has been in the water for so many years?"
Fang Yunye said with some confusion: "I remember that snakes cannot always live in the water. Even after turning into a dragon, they can breathe underwater like fish, but what about before?"
"You can't be a dragon since you were young, right?"
Fang Yunye's words stunned several people present, and their expressions changed slightly, especially Ling Xiaozi.
He recalled the Taoist records about snakes turning into dragons in his mind. His thoughts were spinning rapidly, and then he shook his head attentively and said, "I don't know this clearly, but according to the classics, it should have evolved from snakes, and..."
"If there are really born dragons, there shouldn't be only this lonely one in Fuxian Lake."
"But if a snake turns into a dragon, there must be corresponding legends around it."
Ling Xiaozi turned to look at Professor Zhao: "Professor, have you been here for so many years, do you have any legends about black snakes, black dragons, and black dragons?"
"The legend of the black dragon is very popular here in southern Yunnan." Professor Zhao thought briefly: "But the most famous one is the famous scenic spot in Kunming, the Black Dragon Pool. There are many corresponding legends. You should have heard of some, right?"
Jiang Xian nodded thoughtfully: The Black Dragon Pool in Kunming? Maybe that place is also related to this.
He changed his mind and continued to focus on Qianfan's screen.
Although there are black dragon figures passing by from time to time, and the transparent dragon horns will be bright for a moment after the dragon swallows some "mermaids", but under the light of the tortoise shell, those sharks still gather around the detector, constructing
Get out of the Shark Palace.
The black dragon crossed the edge from time to time, but never penetrated deep.
It was as if there was an unspeakable horror deep within the Shark Palace.
The detector followed Samemiya and gradually reached the depths of the water, approaching the bottom of the water.
Under the light blue light, the detector immediately revealed the underwater situation to everyone's eyes.
Under the dim light, large swaths of stones were piled up and piled up under the water. Stones, slabs, strips of stone... stones with obvious traces of artificial carving emerged from the shooting equipment.
Their edges have been eroded by water flow over the years and have lost their original edges and corners, and some water plants are even growing and swaying slightly on them.
"Eh..." Ling Xiaozi showed a hint of surprise: "There are still so many stones. Could it be that this place was not completely built at the beginning?"
Jiang Xian nodded: "That should be the case. If the building is completed, the stones should not be left here."
"Is this a building stone?" The team leader next to him was stunned for a moment, looked at the picture on the screen, and gestured: "The shortest of these stones is more than five meters... and those have signs of fracture..."
"How big of a building is that going to be?"
The team leader swallowed as he spoke: "If I remember correctly, the production time of Fuxian Lake has been a long time ago, so primitive ancient times..."
"Is it really possible to build such a huge building?"
Fang Yunye patted his shoulder lightly: "Relax, just watch. The abilities and wisdom of our ancestors are far beyond our imagination."
Ling Xiaozi glanced at Fang Yunye without any trace: Ancestors? They are indeed ancestors, but I don’t know how many years ago they were!
As the thought flashed, the detector and the turtle shell continued to land downwards. The groups of "mermaids" dispersed and gathered together again, turning into a huge blue-white ring, surrounding the turtle shell from a distance.
The black dragon that had been following them swung its tail and swayed its body, but did not eat the groups of "mermaids". The originally transparent dragon horns now had a light blue halo.
Its huge golden snake eyes revealed a hint of coldness in the water. After taking a look at the tortoise shell, it swung its body and swam in one direction.
Jiang Xian's eyes narrowed and he said quickly: "Quick, follow me!"
The team leader quickly gave the order through the intercom, and the motorboat above immediately started to move, and the detector below was remotely controlled to follow the dragon.
The dragon's speed was not fast, and the detector easily followed it. The camera rotated slightly, taking pictures of all the stone buildings underwater. At first, there were just some scattered stones, and then some small buildings gradually emerged.
And the number gradually increased.
It's like walking deep into a palace complex.
"Now I feel that this may not be an unfinished building." Professor Zhao slowly spoke while looking at the screen.
"Look carefully below. The underwater bricks and stones here are all laid out, and the ground also has traces of repairs in the past... And as you walk inside, except for those broken houses, there are no half-built buildings at all."
Jiang Xian nodded: "Professor Zhao is right. If this is the case, something may have happened to the stones there suddenly. They wanted to build again outside, but due to some accidents, the construction was stopped."
"Look here!"
Lin Ruoxue's voice came from the side, and she pointed at the corner of the screen.
When everyone looked around, they saw only one wall of a broken house. On that wall, a twisted human face appeared.
The long eyes looked sideways, the short nose was wrinkled, and the long, jagged mouth had its corners raised to the earlobes. When illuminated by the light blue light, a strange look appeared on the protruding eyeballs.
The brilliance suddenly gave people a chill in their hearts.
Jiang Xian took a deep breath, and the invisible chill in his body immediately dissipated. He turned his head and looked at Lin Ruoxue:
Indeed it is!
Ling Xiaozi was speechless for the time being. He looked at the strange human face. If he followed previous speculations, this strange human face probably existed in the era of giants that transcended human history.
Not only that...
He turned to look at Jiang Xian, Professor Zhao, and even the team leader. They looked at the face. The team leader frowned and said strangely: "This face is a bit familiar... It seems, it seems like that
Sanxingdui Bronze Mask!”
"Not only Sanxingdui, some of the Mayan stone pillars and statues also look similar to this." Professor Zhao spoke slowly, his eyes moving to Jiang Xian.
Everyone present, except for the team leader, knew about the giants in Yunmengze and knew that other civilizations existed in prehistory before humans.
Sanxingdui, the Mayans and the ancient Dian Kingdom here are all likely to have been influenced by them.
"Not only that, if I remember correctly, there are similar statues in some tribes in Africa." Jiang Xian said unhurriedly: "You should also learn, this is the convergence of human culture."
"In some places, there are always some similar things, such as..."
"pyramid."
As he finished speaking, the light from the tortoise shell suddenly lit up, and the light from the surrounding transparent mermaid also became stronger, and the illuminated area became wider.
And in this vast edge area, completed pyramids are clearly revealed.
These pyramids seem to be rooted in the earth, with steps extending downward from the top. The huge stones seem to be stone steps to the sky.
On both sides of the stone steps, statues are arranged neatly one after another. They hold stone spears and stone axes in their hands and stand upright on both sides, like an honor guard of thousands of people, guarding this step.
The road to heaven.
Even across the screen, a grand, majestic and solemn feeling spread across the screen, making people feel awe-inspiring.
Around the pyramid, passages spread out, dividing the entire land into many parts. And among these divisions, tall statues of different shapes were erected in each area.
They are six or seven meters high, some are jumping, some are kneeling down devoutly, some are holding sharp blades and raising their heads upwards...these different postures show almost all human movements.
Several of them formed a team, and each team looked at the same position.
The top of that pyramid!
The swimming dragon slowly stopped, its huge head moved slowly, its cold pupils moved from the top of the pyramids one by one, and then its body turned around the pyramids in turn, and then left far away.
The detector continued to move forward, and after a short walk, it arrived at the center of the pyramid.
The originally restrained light on the turtle shell suddenly shined brightly!
Chapter completed!
