Chapter 241: Life-saving Item

In fact, without my urging, Lao Bai has been carefully studying the contents of the subsequent records.

Obviously, these murals also attracted his attention.

A small foreign country in the Mediterranean six thousand years ago actually crossed the sea to the land of China and survived until the Spring and Autumn Period. However, there is no trace of them in the entire official history. Such a thing, not to mention those who do academic research, will be interested, even rural people like us will be curious.

"The following rock paintings should be about their difficult journey to the east."

Lao Bai frowned and said, "Thousands of years ago, this has exceeded the limit of most historical records. At that time, productivity was low, and such a super migration was very difficult. According to the records on these rock paintings, this migration was very cruel. They almost abandoned more than half of the population. The elderly, the weak, and even some children were all abandoned. Only young and strong men and women who could give birth embarked on the journey. When they arrived in China, they had lost 90% of the population, leaving less than 2,000 people...

Hey, the following ones are a bit interesting. According to what is said above, after they came to China, in order to compete for living space, they actually broke out a war with China. This war seemed almost vigorous and epic to them. According to what is said above, they were surrounded by nearly 10,000 people on the other side, but the other side did not rush forward, but sent hundreds of elite soldiers to fight with them with a gentlemanly style. In the end, they were defeated and almost killed!

This is a bit of a realistic spirit, at least he dared to write it out, unlike a certain stick, who boasted that he was the best in the world, and was beaten to a dog's head, but he refused to admit defeat. "

War with China?

This is a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the middle...

According to our estimation, this unknown civilization came here at least 6,000 years ago.

So, what kind of state was China in at that time?

As we all know, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, at least that's what the official history says, but many people do not recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty, because it is too far away from now, and there are too few traces left. But even if the Xia Dynasty is included, it is only 5,000 years of history.

6,000 years ago, was China really a wilderness?

I think this may involve a more mysterious dynasty-the Yu Dynasty!!

However, this dynasty is even older, and many academic works have mentioned the Yu Dynasty more than once, but the official history dare not say it, because there is no place to verify it, and there is no real evidence!!

More people believe that before the Xia Dynasty, China was just a group of small tribes...

Now, I'm afraid that the Yu Dynasty really existed...

It is clearly stated here that nearly 10,000 people were dispatched at one time, and that was 6,000 years ago. What kind of concept is this? ! Can a small tribe do this? It must be a unified dynasty!

Various traces show that the one who fought with this unknown civilization and defeated them should be the Yu Dynasty, which has left no trace in history! !

Lao Bai continued, "After they were defeated, the enemy was going to kill them all. As a result, one of the enemy generals couldn't bear it and secretly released the hundreds of men and women he was guarding. These hundreds of men and women didn't dare to continue to show up under the enemy's nose, so they hid in Taiyue Mountain, dug caves here, and quietly settled down..."

"In other words, this relic was not buried underground later, but... they lived underground from the beginning?"

Zhang Xinya asked back, and when Lao Bai nodded, he said, "Go on."

Lao Bai said what he saw while observing the rock paintings.

That tragic defeat almost left an indelible shadow on this unknown civilization. From then on, they never appeared in the outside world on a large scale, and they just multiplied and thrived underground. Generation after generation of people continued to open up the underground, and finally built such a huge underground city!

After nearly a thousand years of recuperation, this unknown civilization has gradually recovered from the initial hundreds of people.

This person is Queen Xin.

In the entire cave, only a few people left portraits. In addition to my ancestor, Queen Xin is another one. Moreover, most of the content here is expressed by pictures, with very few words. Only Queen Xin left her name, which was the earliest oracle bone script. This shows that after they came to China, they were eventually influenced by Chinese civilization.

"Xin..."

I kept repeating the name softly.

"What's wrong?"

Brother Yaozi was keenly aware of something and turned his head to ask me: "Did you think of something?"

"Nothing."

I shook my head: "I just think this name is very interesting. In the mythological system of ancient Babylon, Xin is their moon god, the moon god Xin. So, I can't help but wonder, is Xin the original name of this queen? Or... after her death, because of her various deeds, people called her the name of God."

I am not saying this out of thin air, such examples can be found everywhere.

Unfortunately, these murals record the history and fate of this tribe, but no detailed explanation is given.

What did Queen Xin do?

The murals clearly say that when Queen Xin was young, she had left the underground city. It is said that she went very far and did not come back for nearly ten years. Just when her relatives thought she was dead, she appeared and mastered all kinds of magical powers.

For example, talking to animals.

This reminds me of Lao Bai's ability.

Also, when she came back, she brought back some pills with her, saying that they were given by a hermit and were hard to find in the world. Only one of them cured the old patriarch who could not take care of himself at the time.

For a while, he was regarded as a god.

Because the old patriarch's illness made everyone helpless. He accidentally fell from a height when he went out once and hit his head. He has been in a coma ever since, neither dead nor alive.

From the perspective of modern people, this is a vegetative state!

When Lao Bai said this, I was shaking all over and couldn't even breathe.

Why did we come here with so much hardship?

It was for this thing! !

Qingzhu had already told me clearly about my master's symptoms. He had hidden injuries, but the recent events made him uneasy, as if the yin and yang were suddenly messed up. In order to protect me, he forced his way through the barrier, and thus made himself unconscious.

Although I have not walked very shallowly on the path of cultivation, I have carefully studied the book "Qingwei Neidan Shu" that my master gave me.

A master like my master, when he reaches this step, must breathe frantically when he breaks through the barrier. If his physical condition is not good and his Taoism is not enough, he will be backfired and his mind will be impacted. In severe cases, he will die on the spot, and in mild cases, he will be in a coma from then on.

From the perspective of modern medicine, this should be the result of a huge impact on the cerebral cortex, but the impact on the old patriarch came from the outside, while the damage to my master came from the inside. However, no matter what the cause of the injury is, the injured place is the same.

That medicine can cure the old clan leader, and it can cure my master! !

"Qingzhu didn't lie to me, she didn't lie to me, the thing that can save my master is here..."

My voice trembled, and as I spoke, I didn't know why, tears just fell.

Zhang Xinya quietly handed me a piece of paper from the side, and I brushed it away fiercely, but I don't know why, it was as if my eyes were out of control, and I couldn't stop it.

Brother Yaozi sighed and said that I was suffering.

Is it suffering?

Not suffering!

What I am afraid of is that even if I come to this step, I still can't save my master in the end! !

After being rejected by Qingzhu, I was almost desperate. Desperate people are always prone to madness. Otherwise, if they are normal people, who would use a knife to cut the three corpses?

I almost gave up my life, and I can only survive by borrowing their lives! ! !

I paid such a heavy price, and if I return empty-handed in the end, I dare not think about that kind of thing.

Along the way, I have been avoiding thinking about this.

Now, I am not afraid. Even if I die here, it is worth it to find the medicine!

As if to comfort me, Lao Bai emphasized: "Queen Xin brought back a lot of medicine at that time, and only used a part of it to save the old patriarch. There must be some left!!"

I sniffed, calmed myself down, and said: "Continue talking!"

Lao Bai nodded and said again that because Queen Xin saved the old patriarch, the voices in the entire tribe were higher and higher. Moreover, the old patriarch was old and felt that he could no longer lead the entire tribe, so he simply gave the position of patriarch to Xin.

After Xin became the patriarch, he immediately called on all the tribe members and gave a very grand speech.

I don't know if it is because of race or genes, this tribe has always been very long-lived, far exceeding other races. Their average age is even more than twice that of other races! !

Xin directly pointed out that this is a talent given to them by God because of their noble blood!

If they continue along this path, they will eventually reach eternal life!

She also said that her power comes from her bloodline!!

Based on the extraordinary performance of Xin at that time, the effect of her speech was sensational. The entire tribe was excited and started to take another path, constantly researching various drugs...

Xin even made some achievements in her research.

This tribe has lived underground for a long time, so rheumatic bone pain is inevitable. Moreover, many people died in pain, coughing up blood constantly, but they don't know what disease they have…

"This is lung cancer…"

Zhang Xinya was surprised and said, "The soil contains radon gas. Living underground for a long time and being in contact with this radioactive gas all day long will of course cause lung cancer…"

But since Xin appeared, fewer and fewer people have died of lung cancer…

This made this tribe crazy, as if they had found a powerful way…

The contents of the murals behind are almost the same, all of which are pictures of this tribe doing experiments. It gives me a very weird feeling, just like those crazy alchemists in ancient Western times, who tossed around and tossed around, and finally either killed themselves with drugs or blew themselves up. Anyway, turning stones into gold was definitely not achieved…

"Don't you think they look like a tribe in ancient legends?"

Zhang Xinya said, "They come from overseas, have black skin, and have a long lifespan… They look like immortals!"

The murals at the back are very delicate, with rich pigments. You can see that the people on them have black skin. This is somewhat related to my previous guess. The region determines the race. Their homeland is next to the ancient Babylonian Kingdom, so their race is naturally more similar to the Sumerians. The Sumerians are considered yellow people, but they do have black hair and black skin.

Zhang Xinya is very knowledgeable about some strange things. She is an expert in this area, and I can only listen.

Regarding the Undead People, according to Zhang Xinya, this race is similar to the Feather People. Both are considered foreign races, but the Undead People are more similar to humans. Both belong to the 36 overseas countries in ancient times! !

She couldn't say much, because the Undead People are different from the Feather People. There are very few legends left by this race. At least some people have seen the Feather People, such as Xing Wei, who is a descendant of the Feather People, and almost no one has seen the Undead People, or in other words, if you have seen them, you don't know that they are the Undead People. The only characteristics of this race are - black skin and longevity!

This is just a feeling of Zhang Xinya, and it is hard to explain why. She just mentioned it casually, and then there is no follow-up.

Lao Bai said that the so-called immortality was not achieved during Xin's lifetime, and finally, Xin died.

In order to commemorate the contribution of Queen Xin, the tribe built a Queen's Tower for her in the center of the underground city, and Xin was buried in it. Everything related to her is in the Queen's Tower! !

This statement not only excited me, but even Brother Yaozi and the others couldn't help themselves.

Because what we are looking for must be in this Queen's Tower! !

The murals in the back are not very valuable to me. Basically, this race is following Xin's guidance and pursuing the so-called immortality.

Until... thousands of years later, an accident happened.

At this time, we have unknowingly walked to the end of this cave, and the exit is not far ahead...

Lao Bai looked at the murals one by one with a strange expression, and he didn't say anything for a long time. When we couldn't help asking, he let out a long breath and looked at me with an even weirder look: "It's really your ancestor who killed this race alive, it's really a trap..."

Lao Bai thought about it, and couldn't think of any words to describe my ancestor. After a while, he said in an extremely respectful, almost brain-dead tone: "This is the real old cunning, too dedicated, too cunning, spent a lifetime to arrange, just to cunning you to death, it's simply... a role model for our generation!!"
