After a night, the goddess statue that Tang Yue brought out from the mural became softer and had color. It was no longer the same hard stone as before.
It seems that leaving the murals really has the effect of restoring the stone statues. After the monks recover, they may be able to get more information about that place.
"God, why does he think the stone statue you brought is asking for fire?" Mu Yu could also see the changes in the stone statue.
Tang Yue said: "Maybe I saw it wrong. They should go to the cemetery to take a look."
"Are you really asking to go? It's not the resting place of their people for generations. If you disturb your ancestors, you might offend them and be punished."
"Didn't I say that he is not a god? How could he be afraid of the souls of mortals? Let's go quickly. He wants to confirm something, which is not the responsibility of a god." She was a little embarrassed to call herself a god, so
But if you think silently in your heart, if everything is gone, you will leave the secret realm.
"Okay, he will take you there." Mu Yu's heart was experiencing a severe impact on his values. An alien god wanted to disturb the sleep of the ancestors of the tribe. If he did this, would he be considered a traitor...
Tang Yue was unaware of the confused young man's external entanglements, so he urged him to go to the cemetery as soon as possible to find out what was going on.
It is the custom of the Moon Tribe to bury their ancestors in the east of the temple. People in the east are of high status, and some people can even be buried in the wasteland on the edge.
Although it was not a primitive society there, very tall temples were still built for worship.
There are a lot of uncertainties in the lives of primitive people. People in the tribe will spend a lot of energy and time on it if their faith can provide them with a sense of security and support their pursuit of life.
After entering the temple, Tang Yue carefully observed the statue in the center. The carving method of the legs was consistent with the statue in the mural, and it was relatively rough.
She suddenly remembered the little boy she met when she first arrived and asked: "Have we noticed any strange things appearing in the murals, such as people wearing different clothes than us suddenly appearing in the murals?"
When the young man heard those words, his face instantly turned red, as if he had heard something terrible. Suddenly he thought that the god's clothes were different from what they were wearing...
"He doesn't know those things..."
"It doesn't look like I don't know. I brought him to the temple secretly. Tell him those things too. I don't worry, he won't report me." She patted the young man on the shoulder to comfort him.
Mu Yu sighed, "We often find strange things appearing in the murals in their village, and the new villains are very mobile, but the high priest does not allow the public to discuss this matter, saying whether it will lead to death.
Everyone felt too scared and didn’t dare to mention it.
There were a few brave ones who tried to dig out those villains who suddenly appeared, but those people later died, their bodies mutilated, and they didn’t dare to talk about it.”
No wonder the mother of the child at that time clearly saw it, but also insisted that she didn't see it. This means that there is power secretly preventing the monks from painting the mural.
Mu Yu said: "Do gods come from murals? Are those villains new gods?"
"You can also say that, where do they want to go in?"
While the two of them were silent, Mu Yu had already led her to the back of the statue.
"There is a small door there. He once buried his grandfather and sent his body in." He opened a stone door with his right leg, revealing a half-person-high hole with a staircase leading to the east.
He went in first, and Tang Yue followed him.
The tomb is dark and damp, with reptiles passing by from time to time, which is a bit scary. There are many large and small statues of gods and ornaments worshiped by the villagers in worshiping the gods.
Mu Yuqiu took the torch on the east wall to light it up, but Tang Yue stopped him, "Lighting the torch will let people know that someone has been here, use that one."
She took out her night-light pearl, and the tomb was instantly filled with soft and bright light. Mu Yu looked at the thing in her legs curiously, "What is that?"
"The night pearl can shine and illuminate at night."
"God indeed has many things that they don't have." He liked the luminous bead very much. It was very convenient to put it in the house in the morning so that he didn't have to touch it in the dark.
Oil lamps are so precious that they are kept in the houses of priests, big leaders, and small leaders. They can burn them in the morning, or they can stay in the house and not go out.
Tang Yue took out a small luminous pearl and gave it to Mu Yu, "Just think of it as a reward for bringing him here. Don't ask others to see you." Wealth cannot be exposed, not to mention that this is not a primitive society and is relatively cruel, so food is not available.
It can kill people, let alone a rare night pearl.
Mu Yu took Ye Mingzhu between his legs and went to say thank you, "Thank you God for the gift. There is a place for the body ahead. He will take me to see it." His attitude suddenly became more positive.
The fear and hesitation before.
Tang Yue followed him to the first grave pit, where the recently buried people were placed. "Those are the elders of the tribe who were recently buried."
She found that the outside of the cave was damp, but the inside was very dry. The corpses of the elders had not decomposed and were gradually turning into mummies.
If you can go further in, all the corpses are gone, not even the bones. The young man is shocked, "Where are the executioners?" He also knows that the corpses in each pit are old and new. Even if there are no new corpses, at least they are.
It's wrong to have corpses.
Tang Yue looked at the empty holes and wondered, "How many people are there in our tribe?" The young man recalled, "There are probably several thousand people."
Tribes of thousands of people are not that small in primitive society, and there are only a few corpses in the tombs, which is not very reasonable. But those people are actually resurrected after death, and there is nothing wrong with living an ordinary life in the tribe.
Weird.
She was afraid of the age, "Are there some people who I think are dead, but are still living among us?"
The young man looked confused at first, "Then what's the matter? Is the resurrection of the dead a big deal in the village? They have never found out."
Suddenly his expression became frightened and he fell to his knees, "No, he died. He was tricked by his parents into being a human sacrifice. He didn't rush home in time. He was already dead and was put in that pit.
Inside." His legs pointed to a small pothole on the right.
Tang Yue noticed at that time that there were steps in the pit, which were obviously meant for the corpses put into the pit...
"How could he survive? How could he survive?" The young man kept mumbling to himself. There was a cold wind blowing in the cemetery, which was eerie.
Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Tang Yue with a strange expression, "Isn't he a human? No, he is a human!"
Tang Yue scolded: "It's so early in the morning. Who are you scaring? Are you looking for a beating?"
Only then did the young man remember that he should beat the gods and become a little more normal. "God, he remembered that someone in their village would indeed die, and then in a few months, he would return to the village to live.
, just like his life before his death, but they don’t know why they all gradually forget about that incident.”
Tang Yue asked: "How long have we lived there?"
Mu Yu was confused again, "It seems like it has been a long, long time. They have been hunting, making food, making clothes, and avoiding the red moon. It feels like this kind of life will never end."
Tang Yue looked at Mu Yu and thought about the living conditions of their tribe. It sounded like everyone had maintained their current body and appearance, would not grow old, would be resurrected after a few days after death, and would crawl back from the cemetery.
, live life as usual.
That can be regarded as immortality in another sense.
Mu Yu said: "Could it be that their tribe worships the gods devoutly all year round, so they are very good at resurrecting and returning there."
