Chapter 660 Draw the ground as a prison (3)

"Pattern?" The bald head followed the high priest's train of thought, wanting to see clearly what the pattern on the table is, and beckoned us to move everyone to the side to make room for him to see.

Everyone also wanted to see the whole picture of the platform clearly, so they moved as far as possible to the edge under control, but even so, the moved position was really limited, and only the center with a diameter of about two meters was exposed.

I looked along, and saw that the desk was painted into five equal parts by red, yellow, black, white, and indigo, and concentric circles were drawn around the center, and the concentric circles and The equally divided colored areas form a block of color grids, and each grid depicts a series of extremely exquisite line drawings like fine brushwork.

At first glance, the shape of this desk is more like an enlarged version of a compass, but if you look closely at the line drawing inside, you can see that it has nothing to do with the compass.

"Tsk tsk... haven't we seen the paintings here? Just the petroglyphs on the cliffs of the snow-capped mountains. Isn't the content of the paintings similar to this?" The bald head turned to Daxun and me while watching.

The contents of these line drawings are not some incomprehensible spell formations, but miniature versions of "The Picture of the Queen Mother Feasting the Immortals".Before we went down to the canyon and stayed on the snow-capped mountains, we found a similar mural on the edge of the cliff, but the mural was very large, but it was mottled because of the wind and snow, so we didn’t understand the content of the painting. Half guessed.

But on this table, the line drawing is very well preserved, because the tiankeng is originally inclined, and only a small half of the hole is exposed, and the rest is covered by the cliff. Therefore, the area we are in belongs to the area where the wind cannot I realized that it is not raining, and the terrain is relatively high, probably because of this reason, so the paint on the table now looks quite bright.

I couldn't help but hissed, and while carefully looking at the complete picture of "The Queen Mother's Banquet of Immortals", I asked the high priest, "It's strange, this insect slave is from your Zerg race, and your cultural background is not good enough. , belief, and life, shouldn’t be too different, right?” I’ve been to Zerg settlements before, but I’ve never seen them have any mythological beliefs, and what’s more, they worship the high priest himself as a god.

But these insect slaves have nothing in common with the Zerg people. They don't play with insects, and they don't believe in the high priest. Have they changed their belief in the Queen Mother of the West?
In order to see the whole picture of these line drawings clearly, everyone began to move regularly, circling along the edge, gradually revealing the covered parts, watching and watching, I suddenly saw that something was wrong.

"The Queen Mother Feasting the Immortals" was a relatively popular and popular mythological theme in ancient times. Many people painted it. Although the styles are different, the general content is similar.

The Chinese mythology system is huge and messy, subdivided and summarized as gods, immortals, and cultivators.

God refers to the gods born together with the heaven and the earth, such as Nuwa, Pangu, and Queen Mother of the West.

Later, in the mythology system, the legends about gods such as Nusnail suddenly disappeared and changed to immortals, such as the Jade Emperor, the Four Heavenly Kings, Chang'e, the 28 constellations, etc. These are the accumulation of great merit. And cultivate to become a fairy.

Then there is cultivation, that is, people cultivate to become immortals, not necessarily true immortals, such as Zhang Sanfeng and Peng Zu.

The history of mythology of a civilization is often the history of the development of a civilization, and the Chinese mythology system has an obvious gap between ancient gods and immortals. It seems that in a certain period, those gods like Nuwa suddenly disappeared. , was replaced by the immortals like the Jade Emperor.

Scholars who specialize in the study of mythology believe that the generation gap in the middle is likely to be the lost history of the Chinese nation.

In our country, there are many lost historical faults, and the most common one is traditional Chinese medicine.

Western medicine has a complete causal system, that is, exploration, existence, demonstration, use, and curative effect. Because of its complete system, it is the best medicine that can be accepted and recognized.

On the other hand, Chinese medicine has obvious cultural faults. The core part of argumentation has completely disappeared, which makes Chinese medicine appear to be very distracted at certain times.

You can say that it is full of loopholes, and it does have curative effects, but if you want to help it demonstrate, its principle is unclear. This is a typical cultural fault.

Of course, Chinese medicine is just an example that is relatively close to life. There are still many cultural faults like this. Therefore, in recent years, the study of cultural faults has become the top priority. Therefore, there are really many experts on the history of mythology.

The Queen Mother of the West belongs to the level of gods in the mythology system of our country, and she is the same group of gods as Nuwa and Pangu. However, as it developed later, the myth system not only had faults, but eventually became crooked, bringing the Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor together.

Of course, in orthodox myths and legends, the Jade Emperor is far worse than the Queen Mother of the West, who is an ancient god.

The most popular image of the Queen Mother of the West in later generations is that she is the wife of the Jade Emperor. Every once in a while, a peach party will be held, and then the immortals will be invited to a feast, and each person will give a peach.

"The Queen Mother's Banquet of Immortals" is inseparable from the pictures of Feitian, Hexi, Fulushou, Pantao, and Yaochi. At this moment, the line drawings under our feet are not lacking in any of these themes, but the strange thing is that there are still There are more things that shouldn't be there.
