Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 692 Prophecy
After seeing the slate on which Shennong tasted white grass, we were all aroused with strong interest, and couldn't help but continue to look down.The fourth painting is a battle between two people, one person has one head, three faces, eight hands, and each hand holds a weapon. This image is very close to the image of Chi You in myths and legends, and it should be Chi You.

Between the two, there was a stone cart with a small figure pointing in front of it.The fourth piece should be the allusion that the emperor made the compass chariot and fought with Chi You.Looking further down, most of them are mythical figures. Gradually, they entered the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. There were Xia Jie and Meixi, there was King You of Zhou Fenghuo and the princes, and King Wu defeated Zhou, and then burned books and pitted Confucianism, etc. Records, these are relatively important and familiar histories, I am a little puzzled, what is the point of recording such things?
In the process, there are still a few stone slabs that we can't understand, but we can roughly infer that it should be the development history of the ancient Shu Kingdom. I will compare these contents with the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom that I know. It can also be explained.

There are records of Cancong and Yufu, the founding of the country and the relocation of the clan, and the hardships of moving the capital. During the period, it also recorded the rebellion of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Until the late Warring States period, Qin destroyed Shu. It stands to reason that the history of ancient Shu Kingdom ended here. , then the history recorded on these slates should also end here, but in fact, we have only seen one-third of the slates at this time.

The Kingdom of Shu has already perished, so what is recorded on the remaining two-thirds of the stone slabs?
The history on this slate has been recorded until the demise of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which is a bit strange. How did a country that has already perished built this ancient city of swallowing silkworms?Wen Min frowned and said: "This time is wrong, there are refutations. She told me before that the ancient city of Tuncan was the westernmost city of the ancient Shu Kingdom. If the ancient Shu Kingdom perished, this city would definitely be occupied or vacant. Tablets should never have appeared."

I nodded and said to myself, if the history recorded on the slate was developed to the middle of the ancient Shu Kingdom, there would be no problem, but it has been recorded until the ancient Shu Kingdom's demise.Could it be that after Qin destroyed Shu, the people who swallowed silkworms survived?

The so-called extermination means that not a single blade of grass is left. If the ancient Shu Kingdom really had a city of swallowing silkworms left, it cannot be said to be annihilated.

what on earth is it?

Perhaps, the remaining slates can answer this question.With doubts, the three of us continued to look down. However, the more we looked down, the more shocked we were. When we saw two-thirds of the place, the three of us hardly had the courage to look down.

Although we can't see the text on this slate, the patterns on it are very representative. There is also a slate engraved with a woman in a dragon robe, and the dress that the woman is wearing , with a typical style of the Tang Dynasty.Almost everyone has guessed the identity of this woman: Empress of the Ages, Wu Zetian.

Immediately after this stone slab, there was the Huangqiao mutiny and the Jin soldiers went south. In the later period, there was an ugly beggar holding a broken bowl and waving a big knife in his hand. Doesn’t this obviously refer to the beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?

Looking at the back, there has been a scene of the Qing Dynasty. The most notable thing is that the people above shaved their heads and kept braids. In the later period, the braids disappeared and became short hair. On the last stone slab, there is a very Crude...airplane.

Yes, even if the lines of this thing are extremely simple.But we can still see that this is the shape of an airplane.

There were about six or seven slabs left, but we didn't have the courage to look any further.

Wen Min's breathing was very heavy, and after a while, she said, "We must still be in a dream, otherwise how could we see these things?" In an ancient city that has been empty for 2000 years, Zhu Yuanzhang, Qing soldiers, and airplanes appeared , anyone will feel that they are dreaming.

In fact, I'm starting to wonder if we're in a dream.

However, all of this is so real, what's more, the dream mandrill only appeared after I got the eye of the sky. Now that the eye of the sky is there, it is impossible to be pulled into the dream so easily.

But, what's going on with the current situation?

Who made these slates?Could it be that this ancient city of swallowing silkworms has actually been visited long ago?Even if modern people have been here, it seems meaningless for them to carve these stone tablets.My imagination has never been as rich as tofu, so at this moment, my brain is almost shut down.

And the lazy guy next to me, half closed his eyes, seemed to be thinking about something.At this moment, Harichagai walked over shaking his head, and muttered, "I don't understand what that millstone is for. Hey... what the hell are you three looking like?"

When he said this, I realized that my facial muscles were already stiff, so I rubbed my face and asked Wen Min what they thought.

Wen Min thought for a while, and said: "There are only two possibilities, first, we are in a dream; second, if these are true, then I suspect that it is probably something like "Tui Bei Tu", but, it It is more detailed than "Tui Bei Tu", unfortunately, we can't understand the text on it."

China's Tui Bei Tu has always been hailed as an unsolved mystery. It is a very strange book of prophets, that is, a book of prophecy.Almost all ancient civilizations have prophecies, the more famous one is the prophecy of the end of the Maya, in addition to India, Egypt and other countries also have their own prophecies.But what makes all historians very puzzling and interesting is that almost all prophecies finally predict that human beings will be destroyed and wars, natural disasters and infectious diseases.

Among all the ancient prophecies, only China's "Tui Bei Tu" is completely different. At the end of the prophecy, it believes that human beings will usher in an ultimate global war. After this war, human beings will be united. In today's words Generally speaking, it is roughly the formation of an earth country like a federation, and people will live together regardless of race.

"Tui Bei Tu" has always been famous in history, but it was not accepted by the mainstream. According to the existing records, "Tui Bei Tu" was written in the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty ordered two famous astrologers at that time, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, to compile it in order to calculate the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chunfeng used the gossip of the Book of Changes to make calculations. He did not expect to become addicted to the calculations. He got out of hand and calculated the fate of China for more than 2000 years after the Tang Dynasty. Go back and rest", so this prophecy book is named "Tui Bei Tu".

However, the subsequent historical development completely coincides with the content of Tui Bei Tu. Among them, when it develops to modern times, there is a hexagram, which is amazing.This book is quite famous, so I read it before and remembered some of it.

In "Tui Bei Tu", it is recorded in Liuxiang:
The prophecy said:

A flyer is not a bird, and a diver is not a fish.

The battle is not in the soldiers, but in the game of good fortune.

Song said:

Thousands of miles in the sea are full of clouds and smoke, from up to the sky and down to the spring.

The golden mother and the wooden public work together to play tricks, and the fight fails to save the world.

Jin Sheng sighed and said: This is like fire used by the army, that is, chaos does not lie in the meaning of soldiers.Song Yun, the sea is thousands of miles, and the war is fierce, not only in China.

What is flying in the sky is not a bird?What is swimming in the water if it is not a fish?There is no need to use soldiers in war, and waving soldiers is like a game.This description made it difficult for the ancients in the past to imagine, but it is easy to explain it now.

The ones that fly in the sky are of course airplanes, and the ones that swim in the water are submarines. Soldiers don’t need to fight in person, because future wars will be remote-controlled wars.Later, it is described that the sea is covered with clouds and smoke, from the top to the sky and the bottom to the spring. This kind of huge war scene cannot be formed by cold weapon wars. Obviously, it is something like nuclear weapons.

After the Six Elephants, there are four Elephants, which finally describe that after the Great War, the world is one family. There is also a sentence in it: red, yellow, black, and white are not separated.The ancients could not understand this sentence, what does red, yellow, black and white mean?
But now, there are some clues. Aren't the four major races in the world just red, yellow, black and white?Red, yellow, black and white are irrelevant, which is a symbol of great unity.You know, during the Tang Dynasty, the ancients did not know that there were black and red people.

However, this halo of great unification is far from the end-time prophecies of other ancient countries, at least it is relatively positive.

If there are really prophecies in this world, then the slates in front of us are definitely more detailed than the prophecies of Tuibeitu.Now, standing in front of that plane, we hardly have the courage to look at the next slab.

Airplanes have already appeared, so this slate should be described as modern, what will be behind it?the future of mankind?

If this is the prophecy of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then it is earlier than "Tui Bei Tu". In this way, the previous refutations will be explained.The refutation of time does not exist at all, because when these stone slabs were made, the ancient Shu Kingdom had not yet perished!

Wen Min suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and said, "You said that the people in many ancient cities in the ancient Shu kingdom would suddenly disappear. Could it be that they saw the prophecy of future demise, so they quit automatically?" Gu Shu The national power of the country was strong, and when it was destroyed by Qin, the national power had actually become very weak.The reason for the weakening has always been a difficult mystery.

The red hair and Cyclops have also figured out the reason of the matter, so Cyclops was no longer surprised, and said: "No way, there is such a thing as prophecy?"

I said: "A lot of things, I'd rather believe it than believe it. It's not the first time I've encountered such a thing, but it's just so accurate..." At that time, Jie An told me, Tofu and Xiao Jing When criticizing the horoscope, almost every item was right.

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and many things are mysterious and mysterious, which are really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After I finished speaking, everyone turned their heads, and their eyes moved from the plane to the next stone slab.If this is a prophecy, then the previous prophecies have almost all come true, and the latter prophecies must be highly accurate.

A thought popped into my head: what does the future look like?
