Luo Binhan politely helped the blue magpie up from the ground, and helped it straighten the crooked crown of thorns on its skull. He encouraged it enthusiastically: "Don't lower your head, otherwise the crown will fall off."
Lan Que didn't say anything and didn't seem to be helping him think. Luo Binhan continued to say pleasantly: "I have an idea now. I don't know if it's right or wrong, so I have to ask you to give it to me: I'm thinking about the Queen Mother. She is nothing." The devil, if he suddenly causes the end of the world, he has to have something to say, right? Like what you just said, if you can't beat a curse, then you join it on the spot..."
"Let it happen first to weaken the effect." Lan Que corrected it angrily.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean! Do you think it's possible to rely on this to deal with the prophecy? The previous prophecy said that darkness would come and then be destroyed by some kind of light bringer, right? Doesn't this mean that if on Summer Holy Day? If something really comes to kill it, will it be destined to fail?"
With his hopeful words, the red light in the blue magpie's eye cave finally became bright again.
"Well... we can't completely rule out this possibility." It mused, "Yes, if this is a deterministic prophecy and it has not been misread, it means that it must be fulfilled at the designated moment! But you There is no guarantee that there is no misunderstanding here, because it is too much like a misinterpreted prophecy of eternal light. How to explain the similarities in the components? Coincidence? I have seen their murals recording the thousand-year prophecy, and it is really very vague. Imagery. And their interpretation method is entirely based on accumulated experience, which is very likely to be wrong on special events - but you did bring up a very interesting thing..."
It forgot about the crisis of the star layer's destruction and floated back into the air absently, circling around Luo Binhan like a normal person pacing. This made Luo Binhan breathe a sigh of relief, and the last bit of guilt in his heart disappeared.
"Where is the mural recording the prophecy?" He asked with some interest, "Can I go and take a look?"
Lan Que readily agreed and led him towards the exit of the basin. On the way, it told Luo Binhan that the murals were hidden in a very hidden ancient cave and were guarded by people from the Wuda tribe. Usually, the prophets are only allowed to enter there three times a year, and bring with them a number of boys and girls to draw the important prophecies made during the year with their untouched and pure hands.
"Of course, we are exceptions and can go in at any time." Lan Que added, "Because we are 'gods'. These residents believe that we will be bound by some higher power and cannot destroy their sacred historical murals. . But of course we shouldn’t do that.”
"We?" Luo Binhan questioned.
"Hasn't anyone told you yet? You are also deified by them. They just finished your mural last night!"
Now Luo Binhan felt that he had to go and take a look. They traveled through the mountains and ridges at night, passing countless paths and hidden caves, and finally arrived at the historical cave that Blue Magpie mentioned. There was a basket hanging in front of the cave late at night, guarding two alert savages. When they see a blue magpie they respectfully move out of the way.
This reminded Luo Binhan of the scene when he was laughed at by the savages not long ago, and he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of Lan Que's words. But he did find his own mural in the cave: a figure painted with ground mineral red powder. The details were blurry, but he could still recognize it as himself from the clothes and the lizards on his shoulders. The characters in this painting stand in front of a pile of colorful debris. On the slope not far away is a woman with horns.
"What does this mean?" Luo Binhan asked, "What kind of god do they think I am?"
"This has to be seen in conjunction with the piles of stones under the murals. They use different piles of stones to express the gods' stance, character and help to people. Let me see... They think that you follow the night and are the followers of the goddess of evil. You are timid and like to use people, and you will bring tributes for the goddess... Well, I think what they want to express is somewhere between the 'god of robbers' and the 'messenger', so they painted you in Yalai Next to Liga."
"Fart!" Luo Binhan yelled angrily, "These people are like rain when they hear the wind! They don't understand mythology at all!"
He continued walking in angrily, and saw a silver giant standing on the ground with a bunch of dots around its feet; a skeleton holding a basket and mud leaves, with mushrooms growing on its soles; a silver wolf sitting in the forest with a pheasant in its mouth; and even a silver wolf sitting in the forest with a pheasant in its mouth. Even Marin, holding a wine bottle-like container, appeared at the head of the wild people's team that was singing and dancing wildly.
Luo Binhan began to feel the interest of these murals, but also noticed that someone was missing here. His heart sank slightly and he said nothing.
The cave is gentle and deep. Not only are there paintings of extraterrestrial visitors who have been regarded as gods by the savages throughout the ages, but they also record various other types of prophecies. The bottom of the murals is filled with stones of different colors, quantities and shapes to record the year and interpretation of these murals.
Luo Binhan soon saw Wanbozi with fluttering clothes, and after that there were few records outside the world. Eight hundred years ago, a human fell down. According to Blue Magpie's interpretation, it was a traveler from the opposite star layer. He was lost in this wild world and was lucky enough to be rescued by the savages. However, he violated the taboo and took the mud leaves provided to the prophets. In the end, he was unable to resist the erosion and died of mental madness and extreme hunger for dreams.
"Erosion of mud leaves?" Luo Binhan asked doubtfully.
"Oh, it refers to the color of dreams." Blue Que said, "I told you. There are two ingredients in mud leaves that are useful to people. One is alkaloids, and its principle is similar to that of most tobacco plants. But dreams The color is different, it will leave a small amount of ether elements in your head, which is very dangerous for trap creatures with too low transcendence. They will continue to dream of scenery beyond their own world, and some will be frightened crazy. Some are so severely addicted that they eventually lose all sense of reality."
"What about the savages here?"
"According to my observation, they have adapted well. But this is still a trap zone - look at the appearance of those prophets. That is obviously some kind of mild sequelae."
"Okay." Luo Binhan said a little awkwardly, "Let's not talk about this."
Lan Que didn't notice his complicated emotions and still led him to another mural. This time Luo Binhan saw many little people sitting on the ground, looking at the bottomless chasm in the sky, with dark liquid pouring out of it.
Above the chasm burned another blazing fire. It is made of layers of gold and hematite powder, and has not been damaged after thousands of years. There is a dot on each end of the sea of fire inlaid with mica, representing two stars, and in the middle of the stars is painted "The Messenger of Light".
In order to protect the narrative stone pile under the mural, Luo Binhan could not walk too close to the cave wall and could only look up at the outline of the stars from a meter away. It hardly looked like a person, at most it looked like the outline of a creature with arms and legs. I don’t know whether it is a cultural factor or a faithful restoration of the prophecy, but the savior is also wearing a large sack. For some reason, Luo Binhan always felt that it looked more like a woman.
Lan Que explained to him the detailed meaning of this mural: the gap in the sky is considered by the savages to be the Milky Way leading to the devil world, the flame is the entity of light, and the two stars are the followers of the messenger.
"Have you seen the ten trees next to the little man? Their fruits are all golden. The savages believe that there is a sacred forest deep in the mountains, and every hundred years, there is a tree there that will bear the sun. Fruit. The ten trees represented a thousand years, which was how they determined when the prophecies would be fulfilled.”
"What do you think?" Luo Binhan asked.
"Me? I'm not sure. 'Ten' represents perfection in most Pansapien civilizations, so these ten trees may refer to 'Eternal Light'. To be honest, I still think this is more Like a misread prophecy of eternal light, although that’s not good news for our situation. After all, prophecies only come true once…”
Its words were like a light, flashing brightly through Luo Binhan's head full of thoughts.
"Wait," he said, "the prophecy doesn't come true twice?"
"That's obvious, isn't it? How can it be a prophecy if it doesn't point precisely to one thing?"
The blue magpie floated in front of him a little dissatisfied. It sinks and floats in the air, and the bright fire on the mural looks like it is bursting out from its head.
That is almost true for Luo Binhan. He felt as if he had received divine help and actually picked up a very small thread in the maze of wool balls.
"As long as the prophecy here is fulfilled in advance, then it will no longer be an eternal light prophecy?" he asked a little eagerly.
Lan Que nodded, but seemed not to understand the reason why Luo Binhan asked.
"So what if all the 'Eternal Light Prophecies' are fulfilled in advance?" Luo Binhan said, "Does that mean that the Eternal Light Prophecies completely cease to exist?"
