The Sacred Spring Chapter 22: Touching the Golden Tomb (5)


The fat man raised his head, looked at the mural behind us, scratched his belly and said, "Look, old Hu, what is a large group of people doing in this painting?

A bonfire party."

I followed his line of sight and looked over.

The mural on the wall behind us was different from what Mr.

Wang had done.

It was in bright colors.

I reached out and touched it, and was shocked: "It's gold powder."

Everyone was attracted by my discovery.

When he came over, all four glasses were so frightened that they fell off.

Coming down, we aimed all the lighting objects at the mural I found.

Under the strong light, the entire mural reflected dazzling golden light.

The fat man almost bit off his tongue and shouted: "Gold, wall made of gold:" My mother, how much is this worth?”

This mural was six meters long and more than four meters wide.

It was engraved with a long historical scroll that resembled a war scene.

I was really nervous about the spectacular gold painting in front of me.

I stepped forward again and touched it with my hand.

I was very sure.

He said: "This is not a wall made of pure gold.

Only the content of the stone mural is painted with gold powder.

The content of this mural must be very important, otherwise the craftsman who painted it would not pay enough attention to it and dare to cover the entire mural with gold powder."

The golden wall mural suddenly attracted all our attention.

I don’t know if it was my imagination.

Under the golden light, even the candles in the corner shone with a golden light.

Mr.

Wang felt like he had found a treasure and exclaimed loudly: "This mural is so important.

It is the core part of the story.

Oh my god, look, everything we are looking for is in the painting."

I stared at the scroll and observed it carefully.

In the middle of the scroll, there was a giant with three eyes and long beard, shining with golden light.

He held an ax in one hand and a staff in the other.

He was bathing in the lake with his arms raised to the sky, followed by countless Indians.

Kneeling in front of them were rows of long-legged monsters with horns on their heads.

The other end of the scroll shows the scene of the three-eyed bearded man leading the Indian warriors to bury the ghost-horned monster into a huge pit.

The three-eyed mask on the bearded man's face is very familiar to me.

It is the Inca princess mask that was stolen from the National Museum by the people with bamboo poles.

Tu Lao has been with Wang Puyuan for a long time, and he already knows what he is studying.

He remembers the history of the Inca Empire better than anyone else.

"When the Incas ascended the throne, the new king would be wrapped in gold powder to form a golden man, and then immersed in the holy lake along with a large number of gold utensils.

The new king would bathe in the lake to wash away the gold powder on his body, symbolizing the transfer of precious gold.

The wealth was dedicated to the sun god.

As for why there is this The custom is roughly due to the fact that in the creation myth of the Incas, the two founders of the country, Manco Capac and his wife Mama Oclhohuaco, came ashore from the holy lake Titicaca.

The Incas believed that water was the medium between the human world and the palace of the Sun God.”

I said: "You mean, at that time, the only country that had such huge financial resources to paint the golden wall and worshiped the sun god so much was the Inca Empire.

What is recorded on the golden wall is the history of the Incas' victory over the one-horned monster."

Wang Qingzheng was fascinated by what he saw.

He continued to explain: "What they defeated was not the one-horned monster, but the gods.

The top set of murals were engraved with cloud patterns and the disk symbol of the sun god.

These one-horned men They came from the sky and taught the Incas planting techniques. and astronomical knowledge.

Here, you see a building inlaid with a sun disk.

In front of the building, a bearded man with a crown was inspired by the sun god to destroy the one-horned god.

Please pay attention to his expression. , eyes wide open, mouth open to understand It was obvious that he was frightened, but in the next set of stories, a three-eyed mask made of gold fell from the sky.

After the long-bearded man put on the mask, he had a golden ax and a golden staff in his hand, and then he gained divine power.

The Inca kings who were given divine power had In order to eliminate the ability of the One-Horned God, under his leadership, the Inca bravely killed the enemy, sawed off the long horns of the One-Horned God, and then broke their bones and buried them alive in this tomb of the One-Horned God.

The history of decline is also the first step towards the prosperity of the Inca Empire.”

The shocking content on the mural records the entire process of the slaughter of the one-horned god.

Although they are all simple stone wall carvings, the scene of the one-horned god being cut off by Ling Chi is vividly depicted, especially when they collectively face the sky and utter A set of murals depicting the roaring and struggling period makes people feel as if they are actually there and hear their desolate wails with their own ears.

After reading these murals, it is not difficult to understand the origin of the name "Hundred Ghost Pit".

Those piled up and buried in this underground cave were all the one-horned gods who were massacred in the past.

The rulers at that time were afraid of the gods with advanced technological knowledge.

Seize their rights, so on the surface they pretend to be flattering, but in fact they are hiding murderous intentions, taking advantage of the gods' sleep to exterminate their clans.

In the mural, there is a giant with a golden crown on his head, a three-eyed golden mask, a golden ax in one hand, and a golden staff in the other.

Under his feet is a mountain of unicorn heads, declaring that in the war thousands of years ago , a complete victory of royal power over divine power.

The chief wanted to stick to the wall, but he was full of fear.

He just pointed at the mask and covered his face with his hands.

Then he pointed at the golden staff and kept making gestures of inserting it into the ground.

Tu Lao translated: "He said that the yellow-skinned man used the three-eyed mask to exchange the golden rod from the tribe with the witch doctor.

Later, the witch doctor died under our gun, and he became evil and took the mask.

Ola Beng, who took the Golden Ax as his own and declared himself the God-King, is deeply regretful now and begs us to keep him and let him spend the rest of his years in the cave to repent and atone for his sins."

I said to the chief: "It is not a long-term solution for you to be passive and avoid the world.

We must have the courage to catch up in the face of difficulties.

In China, we have a leader as great as your Inca King, the "Eulabeng".

He taught us , don't be afraid of mistakes, the most correct choice is to dare to correct mistakes.

You should cheer up and talk to me.

Let's go together to take back the treasures left by our ancestors.

You see how clear the carvings are on the murals.

Once you have the mask, the golden axe, and the golden staff, you will be the trinity of gods.

Why can't you bring the villagers with you?

Get rich and get out of the rainforest."

Bald Lao translated my words, and the masked chief was obviously very moved and kept nodding at me.

Wang Qing was reading the content on the mural eagerly, and the fat man laughed at him for being so polite.

Four Eyes defended him: "Young Master Wang is not pretending.

People with a professional background are beyond our imagination.

Their interest in archaeological relics is far beyond ordinary people."

The fat man said: "According to what you said, judging from my love for bright weapons, I am not a professor-level person."

I said: "What you love is money, and it's nothing to do with things."

"No, I, Wang, really love money, and I love flashing red flags even more.

No matter how much money you give me, you can't exchange for my fiery red heart."

The fat man looked at the pile of skeletons and made a sign.

The posture of charging into battle.

I analyzed and said: "Now we can be sure that this is an early Inca tomb.

The temple we are looking for should be the one on the mural."

This discovery is very important to us.

Firstly, it proves that the Inca The temple does exist; secondly, it corrects our long-standing misconceptions.

We all, including Wang Puren, have always believed that there are many people in the Amazon jungle.

The Temple of the Sun was built in the late Inca Empire when they were retreating to the second line.

Judging from the content of the murals, the Temple of the Sun has long existed in the world, but the Incas gradually forgot about it during their subsequent migration and development until the Spanish colonization.

The intrusion caused the empire to collapse.

Only then did the king remember the last piece of land left by his ancestors in the jungle, so the whole country moved there.

No wonder Princess Lilia did not forget to rescue the three-eyed mask from the ruins when she was in trouble.

It was a symbol of their Inca kingship and a godsend from the sun god.

There are two things that I still can’t understand.

First, why Princess Lilia traveled thousands of miles to China after she married Professor Green, and was eventually found frozen to death in an ice storage area in the Andes; second, It is the role of the golden rod in the mural, and the bamboo Is it possible that Ganzi worked hard to steal the mask from the museum just to exchange the golden staff with the chief?

If this is the case, then this golden staff must have played a decisive role in the process of finding the temple, and this role is what our team knows.

Don't know.

Thinking of this, I can't help but get a headache.

I always feel that some key parts have been forgotten and I can't remember them.

Bald Lao then said: "Now that the mystery of the golden mask has been solved, it's time for us to hit the road.

This place is a cemetery after all, and staying here for a long time may not be a good thing."

Wang Qingzheng still wanted to read the entire content of the mural.

He went against his temper and carefully took notes in a small notebook.

I told him that since we have excavated the Baigui Pit, how your Wang family wants to investigate and study it in the future is not a matter of words, so why rush now.

There is an Inca temple waiting for us ahead.

You cannot afford to lose the Overlord Seal of your ancestors.

Mr.

Wang was in high spirits and refused to be pulled away by anyone.

He waved his hand and said, "If you have the guts, try pulling me, but I won't leave."

Before he finished speaking, the torches and candles in the corner suddenly went out with a "pop" sound.

Got clean.

In the darkness, someone's teeth were chattering
