Chapter 262 The Golden Crow Appears
Zhou Xiru did not dare to mention the word "Ruomu". Although she still doubted that Xu Zhizhi was Ruomu.
However, I should just swallow this idea silently back into my stomach. Otherwise, if it is not done well, God knows that the person who is talking about "The Lun family is still a child" will impose economic sanctions on her?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiru suddenly remembered that last time Old Man Wang and Tu Xingsun fought against Gu, Xu Zhizhi charged her 800,000 yuan. He didn't give her this money?
If you really say you don’t give it, don’t give it?
"No wonder this guy is so unpopular in the Xu family!" Zhou Xiru thought in his heart.
"This--" Xu Zhiyi looked at the mural, stroking his hands and smiling, "Aru, I'll say, this is a war criminal, not a slave!"
"Look, this person... is so miserable, he was burned to death."
Zhou Xiru nodded. The man on the mural was tied to the punishment frame. The punishment frame pattern behind him was also the sun, with the gloss of flames flashing on it. It was obvious that the mural recorded a stolen fire.
However, this mural is different from the ordinary stolen pattern. Zhou Xiru looked at it carefully and always felt that something was missing.
"Xu Zhizhe?" Zhou Xiru pointed to the mural and said, "Look, this large circle should symbolize the sun, right? It has a flash of light and a pattern of flames?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhizhi nodded, this was already very obvious.
"But why there is no wood when the execution of stolen punishment is done?" Zhou Xiru said, pointing to the bottom of the punishment rack.
"In ancient times, today, both in China and abroad, wood is used for execution of stolen punishment..."
Xu Zhizhi's brain circuit is always unique in this kind of thing. He thought about it and actually said, "Wood is more expensive? The wood is now noble..."
Finally, he added: "Gas oil is easy to use, environmentally friendly?"
Zhou Xiru shook her head, and she should not discuss serious matters with him.
"Look at this bird, does it look like a crow?" Zhou Xiru said, pointing to the bird on the torture rack.
"It's a bit like, but... I looked at the bird and the magpies. Otherwise, I'll wait for me to go back and study the difference between a crow and a magpies... Are magpies protected animals?" Xu Zhizhi asked.
"I don't know!" Zhou Xiru said loudly, "What kind of brain circuit do you have?"
"These are all birds. How could I know if they are magpies or crows? I can't figure it out. Why do you look at them and you are sure that this is a crow. You are raised by your family?" Xu Zhizhi said, "Why aren't it a starling? Thrush?"
Zhou Xiru rolled up her sleeves and wanted to beat him up.
But, at this moment, she suddenly became stunned.
He was right, why did she take a look and determine that the bird with flame patterns on the torture rack was a crow?
This is purely a preconceived concept. In ancient times, the golden crow symbolized the sun, so when she saw the bird with flame patterns, she instinctively thought that this was the golden crow.
But when did this legend begin?
There are so many birds in the sky, and the thrush magpies and cuckoos are all cute. Why is the golden crow a symbol of the sun?
Zhou Xiru patted her head and said, "Can they say that these crows were actually the ones who executed the stolen?"
"Or, in the time of Western Zhou Dynasty, this is not a crow, but a black bird?"
Xu Zhizhi shook his head and said he didn't know.
Zhou Xiru held up a flashlight and walked forward. There were some murals on the corridors on both sides recording wars, life, etc....
Suddenly, Zhou Xiru saw a familiar scene.
It was a ship that slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, like the sacrificial ship they are now on. However, judging from the appearance of the ship on the mural, it was not the sacrificial ship they are now on, but a larger ship.
"Aru, what's wrong?" Xu Zhizhi asked.
"No!" Zhou Xiru shook her head, took the flashlight, turned around and found the mural of the execution of the stolen again. She looked carefully and was suspicious. Could it be that... this is not a sacrifice to the sun god at all?
"Use the golden crow to put a war criminal under fire?" Zhou Xiru gestured and said, "Xu Zhizhi, do you know how important fire was to mankind during the Shang and Zhou dynasties?"
"Huh?" Xu Zhizhi nodded, "If there is no fire, humans will not be able to eat cooked food?"
"And - the fire symbolizes light, the only source of light that illuminates the night."
"In that era, humans were working and entering and resting..." Zhou Xiru continued, "Edison invented the electric light, and then night life and night culture slowly appeared."
"In ancient times, it was impossible to achieve the night as bright as daylight, so it is reasonable for humans to worship the sun god."
Xu Zhizhi nodded and said, "Yes, so there was a sacrificial ship. A king of Western Zhou Dynasty ran from all over the East China Sea to worship the sun god, and even the princess was sent to him. In ancient myths and legends, the sun rose from the East China Sea, which is normal."
"This is not normal!" Zhou Xiru shook his head and said, "First of all, the bird figurines we saw under the altar were all cruelly beheaded."
"Secondly, look at this ship. This is not the sacrificial ship we are currently in. If so, it would not be painted here..."
"This place records an existence that is older than the Western Zhou Dynasty's sacrificial ship. It may have been during the Shang Dynasty or the Daxia Dynasty, and someone once sacrificed it." Zhou Xiru said, "Ji Zhao just followed the example."
"Those feathered children were trained and finally beheaded under the altar..." Zhou Xiru shook her head and said, "I always feel that this is not a sacrifice to the Sun God, it is a punishment, or even a declaration of war!"
Xu Zhiqi followed this idea and said, "Aru, what do you mean, the sacrifice of the goddess symbolizes the goddess of the sun, and is exiled here?"
The princess in the attic were locked firmly in the coffin with chains after her death. She didn't understand what hatred it was to do such a thing?
Oh, as Lu Yiwen said, even if her mother dies, he will crush her bones and throw them into ashes?
"The corpse cocoon we are talking about should be a kind of medicine. When she was alive, she covered her whole body and slowly formed a corpse cocoon, then wrapped it with a shroud and golden silk gem armor, put it in a coffin, transported it to this place and sank into the sea." Zhou Xiru said.
"As for the princess who were buried with her, it was even more miserable. She should have been locked in the coffin while she was alive. She was afraid that she would struggle randomly, so she locked her firmly in the coffin with a chain."
Xu Zhizhi thought for a while and said, "Aru, this is a sacrifice. I don't know what the goddess is. It may be an ancient great alchemist who holds a priest or has some supernatural powers."
"The two princes sacrifice together means that a certain king in the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to cling to the Sun God, so he sacrificed his princess to the Sun God as a concubine?"
"The same was true for sacrificial sacrifices in ancient times, just like some small countries in later generations who were defeated and gave their princesses to the generals of the empire or kings as concubines." Xu Zhizhi said.
"They sacrificed the goddess to the Sun God. Look, there is an alchemy furnace in the goddess' palace. It can be seen that the goddess himself is proficient in alchemy and is not an ordinary person."
Zhou Xiru was about to speak, but at this moment, she suddenly felt alert and immediately hugged Xu Zhizhi and turned off the flashlight. In the distance, someone carried a dim light and walked along the corridor.
