All the murals on the surrounding walls, linked together, have a total of thirty-three patterns.
They are arranged one at a time from left to right.
The materials used are also extremely particular, with red paint being the main one and black paint the supplement.
These colors occupy two-thirds of all the murals.
Gives people a strong visual impact.
I won’t talk about other text aspects.
They are all ancient cipher texts, so dense that I can’t understand them at all.
Looking at the entire mural, it tells something about the elixir of immortality.
Xiaohua has said something before, but not in detail.
The beginning of the mural here was a huge disk with four sacred beasts on it. When the disk appeared in the sky, the entire earth began to become dim.
Among them, the four holy beasts on the disk are the phoenix and the dragon.
These holy beasts are all auspicious signs, which is particularly different from what I saw in Raojiang.
Don't know where the problem came from.
Finally, the phoenix flew into the mountains, while one of the two dragons dived into the sea, and the other disappeared into the clouds.
In fact, there is a towering, flawless snow-white mountain peak among the clouds. That place should be Kunlun Mountain.
Of course, these are all my guesses based on the depictions of the murals.
The first mural should be after the creation of the world in ancient times.
Because what follows is the story of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, and in order to educate the world, he established a tribe here in Shennongjia.
Later, Shennong left Shennongjia and left behind many related inheritances. As for where he went, it is unknown.
Later, during the turmoil of Xia and Shang Dynasties, a phoenix that lived in Qishan in Shennongjia flew away from Shennongjia. In the end, only one phoenix and two little phoenixes were left in Shennongjia.
This is described in detail in the murals.
From Xia and Shang to Qin and Han, during this period, only three waves of people came to Shennongjia.
The first wave was a person who accidentally entered Shennongjia. This person was tall, with two wings on his back, and a face like a thunderous mouth. He fell seriously injured.
The people from the primitive tribe in Shennongjia saved this man.
No matter how I look at this person, he looks like the image of Lei Zhenzi from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The second wave of people came from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. One of King Zhao's disciples got the news about the elixir in Shennongjia from somewhere.
Then he went here. This person should be Ji Wuchang.
Ji Wuchang probably did not enter the Shennong Temple, but he got some clues at the foot of the Shennong Temple.
Then he developed the method of killing three ghost corpses.
Of course, there are already twelve caves among them, but this is not described in detail on the mural.
As for when the third wave of people entered Shennongjia, there was another stroke that did not belong to this mural series.
Xu Fu met a phoenix on an island near Penglai, Dongzhou.
Many alchemists and soldiers gathered together to kill the phoenix.
Not only were the bones and skin removed, but all the blood from Phoenix's body was collected.
In the land of Bashu, he made alchemy to seek immortality.
Later, he changed several winter residences one after another, and finally refined two elixirs.
Of these two elixirs, one is true and the other is false.
After Xu Fu took the real pill, he gained great benefits.
Chen Fengnian, a Taoist in Qingyi, ate the semi-finished product, and strange signs began to appear on his body.
In order to avoid Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng's pursuit, Xu Fu said that there was the palace of the Queen Mother of the West above Penglai in Dongzhou.
He only needs to give him three thousand boys and girls, prepare various generous gifts, and troops and entourage, and go to ask for medicine in the name of the First Emperor.
At that time, the First Emperor will surely live as long as heaven and earth and live forever.
The First Emperor believed it to be true and allowed it.
Later, Xu Fu's incident came to light, and the soldiers sent by the First Emperor to encircle and suppress him encountered various severe storms at sea.
Chen Fengnian was afraid that what had happened in the past would be exposed, so he went south and hid in Twelve Cave.
At this time, Twelve Cave had some connections with the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom.
At this time, the Ancient Nanzhao Kingdom was already somewhat in decline, and the Ancient Nanzhao Kingdom only appeared in one mural among all the murals.
The formulas, proportions, and refining methods of the elixir are actually all different.
This kind of thing pays more attention to factors such as the right time, place, people, and so on.
But it’s not a real elixir, no one knows.
It wasn't until a secret edict from the First Emperor was delivered to the King of Dian that the King of Dian spread the news to Twelve Dong's ears.
Finally, Chen Fengnian was pardoned and went to Xianyang, Shaanxi Province to meet the First Emperor.
The two of them spied in the Emperor's room for a long time.
Within a few days, Chen Fengnian led a team to Shennongjia in the name of quelling the chaos.
And it wasn't just the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who got up with him.
There were also outstanding figures from many schools at that time, among whom the majority were alchemists and Taoists.
Twelve Cave even sent a cave master to support Twelve Cave with many secret medicines and techniques.
Even the Jiedu envoys from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions also entered the primeval forest of Shennongjia with relevant followers.
This is a very huge project, cutting through mountains and rivers, and entering the depths of the dense forests of Shennongjia with a devastating momentum.
Of course, during this period, more than tens of thousands of people died due to various reasons.
By then, there were not many people left in the Shennongjia primitive tribe.
Due to the pressure of Chen Fengnian and the First Emperor, these immigrants from the Shennong tribe became the backbone of the medicine refining force in the Palace of Immortality.
Because there were so many people, the construction of the entire Immortal Palace did not actually take a long time.
During this period, Twelve Cave sent another cave master. It can be said that he came to help with all his strength.
It's just that there hasn't been much progress in refining medicine.
It was also at this time that the Ancient Nanzhao Kingdom was completely destroyed overnight, and only a handful of immigrants from the Ancient Nanzhao Kingdom survived.
Because of the relationship between the two, some immigrants from ancient Nanzhao stayed in Shennongjia with the second cave owner.
Because they also waited for the secret recipe for the elixir from the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom.
Just not complete.
During this period, it can be said that there was a lot of construction work, refining medicine and seeking elixirs, and during this period, they did not hesitate to use living people to refine elixirs and perform sacrifices.
Maybe God has the virtue of good life, and all these actions have been punished by God.
The First Emperor suddenly fell ill and died suddenly in Xianyang.
After Chen Fengnian learned the news, he secretly took away some of his confidants and let the rest continue to follow the original method.
At this time, Chen Fengnian may have already made plans to establish himself as king.
But this king is not really rising up.
Instead, he hid it from everyone, refined the elixir, and then drank it himself in order to gain immortality.
As for the remaining murals after Chen Fengnian left, this is what happened inside.
With Chen Fengnian's departure, three factions emerged in the Immortal Taoist Palace.
One group followed Chen Fengnian's orders and insisted on carrying them out.
But there hasn't been much progress, and people have died one after another.
The other faction is headed by Twelve Cave.
Under the leadership of the cave master, he brought a group of people into the Shennong Temple to find the real prescription.
At this time, the third group of people were the palace guards whose ancestors were Xiaohua.
The earliest of these palace guards are actually the product of the combination of immigrants and descendants from the ancient Nanzhao Kingdom and the people here.
In the last twelve caves, only a few people who entered the Shennong Temple came back alive.
But they all went crazy and died in the Taoist Palace within a few days.
The remaining people, including the cave master, stayed in the Shennong Hall forever.
In order to ensure that Shennong Temple is not disturbed, and to prevent more innocent people from going to Shennong Temple to die.
The palace guards established Shennong Village at the foot of the Immortal Palace, which lasted for thousands of years.
In the end, most of those who followed Chen Fengnian's orders died in the Palace of Immortality.
Some died of illness, some died of refining medicine, and some died of being bitten by wild beasts in the mountains.
In the end, the palace guard led everyone to the Taoist Palace of Immortality and stole the elixir and formula inside. Finally, everyone gathered their strength to completely bury the entire Taoist Palace into a big tomb.
And the process in between can be said to have spanned many dynasties.
The palace guard has Nuwa's bloodline in his body, and only people with this bloodline can resist the erosion of the elixir.
However, due to the passage of time and intermarriage with foreign races, their bloodline has long been negligible.
But even if there is a trace, it is due to the blood of the Nuwa family.
So these seemingly poisonous elixirs have a very miraculous effect on these palace guards...!
