Chapter 285

"Why, Miss Yang, do you know shaman mythology?" He Xie's eyes fell on Shirley Yang's face.

Shirley Yang smiled, reached out to put a wisp of green silk behind her ear, looked at the mural and whispered, "before coming, I specially checked some information and found that this Khitan Princess tomb has some connection with Shamanism, so I learned some shaman myths and legends."

She didn't wait for He Xie to ask, so she began to tell: "the creation God in Shamanism is called duokuoho. She was born when heaven and earth were not divided. Later, she broke her God body for creation, her eyes became the sun and moon, her hair became the forest, and her sweat became the river. Skin, flesh and blood, turned into grassland and mountains... "

Shirley Yang looked at He Xie and said with a smile, "most religions have similar legends, which is not new, but the shaman myth is more interesting. The next fairy tale is completely different from the trend of other religions."

"Goddess duokuo Huo did not die after the creation of the world. Her soul was hidden in a divine stone and fell from the sky. She told her believers that she would resurrect in a thousand years, walk out of the divine stone, and establish a colorful kingdom without birth, old age, illness and death, so that all those who believe in her will never die."

After taking a breath, Shirley Yang continued, "so this sacred stone has become a sacred object of Shamanism and is worshipped by believers day and night. They look forward to the early resurrection of the gods they believe in and take them to the other shore. The first shaman priest, Abu kaheh, was originally the most loyal believer of the goddess, but when her life was coming to an end, her fear of death overwhelmed her piety to the goddess. So she did something. She swallowed the stone. "

He Xie could not help frowning slightly when he heard this. The version that Shirley Yang said was different from the version he heard before he died.

In the version mentioned by Shirley Yang, Abu kaheher actively swallowed the divine stone, while in the version heard by He Xie before, Abu kaheher was forced by the devil to swallow the divine stone.

Thinking of the distorted and ugly image of Abu kaheh in the murals, he Xie felt that what Shirley Yang said should be the orthodox shaman myth handed down in the world.

"God can't be blasphemed," Shirley Yang continued. "Abu kaheh, who swallowed the divine stone, immediately burned. Everything close to her would be burned to ashes. She continued her life as she wished, but she became a flame demon, lost all her emotions and degenerated into an evil existence."

"It devoured the soul of the goddess and got the memory of the goddess, so she wanted to completely replace the goddess and become the new God of the shaman." Shirley Yang looked at He Xie, "unfortunately, her plot didn't succeed in the end. She was killed by angry believers, her body became a stone again, and her soul was exiled to the other end of the door of life and death by believers."

Hearing this, he Xie immediately remembered the fourth mural he had seen at the entrance. His previous guess was right. The goddess was really expelled into the door.

Shirley Yang pointed to the first mural in front of her and said with a smile: "because Abu kaheh swallowed the goddess and cut off the only hope of the goddess's resurrection, the shaman believers lost their only faith and began to split. This first mural depicts the history of the division of Shamanism. "

After a slight pause, Shirley Yang pointed to the second mural: "but there are still some people who did not give up the hope of resurrecting the goddess. They stayed and wanted to find a way to resurrect the goddess by studying the stone transformed by Abu kaheh's body, and they also made good progress. You see, the picture shows that they open the door of life and death through this stone and let a dead man come back to life. "

He Xie nodded and looked at these murals through the Shamanism myths told by Shirley Yang. Many places he could not understand or understand immediately became clearer.

He looked at the third mural, which had begun to be somewhat blurred. The huge door of life and death still existed. Many ferocious and terrible monsters poured out of the door and were fighting with the human army on the other side.

Shirley Yang frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about the content of this painting. I guess maybe they released the monster behind the door in the process of resurrecting the goddess, causing disaster... "

The fourth mural has been completely destroyed and can't see anything clearly.

Shirley Yang shrugged at He Xie and said, "since the death of the goddess, shamanism has no longer set up temples to worship their gods. Moreover, the division caused by the death of the goddess makes it difficult for believers to unify their interpretations of the doctrine. So in fact, the oldest orthodox shamanism has existed in name only since the goddess dokhokho was swallowed by Abu kahkh. "

He Xie stared at the monsters in the third mural, suddenly pointed to one of them and said, "look at this snake headed monster. Are you familiar with it?"

Shirley Yang looked closer with a flashlight and said, "one of the eight resurrected sculptures before? This is not surprising. Maybe the sculpture was originally based on the myths and legends described in the mural. "

After a pause, Shirley Yang turned her head and said, "Mr. He, do you really believe that ghosts exist in this world?"

"Don't you believe it?" He Xie asked without looking back.

Shirley Yang looks at He Xie's side face and accidentally finds that if there is no prejudice, the man is still very good-looking.

"It's irresponsible to blame ghosts for everything you don't understand." Shirley Yang smiled and said, "many unexplained things may just be because we humans are too stupid. After all, we know too little about the whole world. I still believe that science can eventually explain everything. "

He Xie turned and looked at her: "there is another saying that the end of science is theology."

Shirley Yang scoffed at this: "we now know how the universe was born, which shows that the creation myths of all religions were wrong from the beginning, even at all. How can I believe that theology can return to the right track in the future? This is just a self deception because there is nothing we can do about the world! "

"How do you explain the resurrection of the sculpture just now?" He Xie smiled and asked. He found the woman's way of thinking really interesting.

"The resurrection of sculpture is just an organ puppet technology that we don't understand." Shirley Yang said her opinion, "maybe people can really exist in the world in another way after they die, but it is still just another way of life. Everyone is life. I don't think it's terrible."

After a pause, Shirley Yang smiled at He Xie: "Mr. He, don't trust the contents of the murals too much. They will never be true. It won't help us much if we don't understand it. I think what we should care about most now is how to get out of here. "

He Xie could not deny: "maybe."
