Chapter 574: The Resurrection of the Dead
After one night, the goddess statue that Tang Yue brought out from the mural became softer and had color, and was no longer the same hard stone as before.
It seems that leaving the murals really has the effect of restoring the stone statues. After the monks recover, they may be able to get more information about this place.
“God, why do I think the stone statue you brought is going to become popular?” Mu Yu could also see the changes in the stone statue.
Tang Yue said: "Perhaps you have seen it wrong. Let's go to the cemetery to have a look."
"Do you really want to go? That is the resting place of our tribe for generations. Please disturb me." Ancestors, they might be angry and punished. "
"Didn't you say that I am a god? Why should I be afraid of mortal souls? Let's go quickly. I want to confirm something. This is also true. God's duty." She was still a little embarrassed to call herself a god, and could only think silently in her heart that all this was to leave the secret realm.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Mu Yu's heart suffered a serious impact on his values. An alien god wanted to disturb the sleep of the tribe's ancestors. Would he be a traitor if he did so... …
Tang Yue didn’t know the inner entanglements of the confused young man, so he only urged him to go to the cemetery as soon as possible to find out what was going on.
The custom of the Moon Tribe is to bury their ancestors underground in the temple. Those directly below have noble status, and some people can even be buried in the wasteland on the edge.
Although this was a primitive society, very tall temples were still built for worship.
There are many uncertainties in the lives of primitive people. Faith is an important way for them to gain a sense of security and support their lives. People in the tribe will spend a lot of energy and time on this.
After entering the temple, Tang Yue carefully observed the statue in the center. The carving technique was consistent with the statue in the mural, which was relatively rough.
She suddenly remembered the little boy she met when she first came here, and asked: "Have you ever noticed strange things appearing on the murals, such as people wearing different clothes from you, suddenly appearing on the murals? "In the mural."
When the young man heard this, his face turned pale instantly, as if he had heard something terrible, and suddenly thought that the clothes of this god were different from what they were wearing...
"I don't know these things..."
"You don't look like you don't know. You brought me to the temple secretly. Tell me these things too. Don't worry, I I won't report you." She patted the young man on the shoulder and comforted him.
Mu Yu sighed, "We often find strange things appearing in the murals in our village, and the new villains will move, but the high priest does not allow us to discuss this matter openly, saying It would cause disaster, and everyone was too scared to mention it.
A few brave people tried to dig out those villains who suddenly appeared. These people later died with their bodies mutilated. If it’s not complete, we don’t even dare to say it.”
No wonder the mother of the child at that time insisted on saying she didn’t see it even though she clearly saw it. This shows that there are forces secretly preventing the monks from painting the mural.
Mu Yu said: "Do gods also come from murals? Are those little people the new gods?"
"You can also say that, where do we go in?"
While the two were talking, Mu Yu had already led her to the back of the statue.
"There is a small door here. I once buried my grandfather and sent his body in." He opened a stone door with his right hand, revealing a half-person-high hole, and there was also a building leading below. stairs.
He went in first, and Tang Yue followed him.
The tomb is dark and damp, with reptiles passing by from time to time, which is a bit scary. There are also large and small statues of gods and ornaments worshiped by the villagers to worship the gods.
Mu Yu wanted to take down the torch on the wall to light it up, but Tang Yue stopped him, "Lighting the torch will let people know that someone has been here, use this." She took out her night-light pearl, which was in the tomb. The moment was filled with soft and bright light. Mu Yu looked at the thing in her hand curiously, "What is this?"
"The night pearl can shine and illuminate at night."
“God indeed has many things that we don’t have.” He liked this luminous bead very much. It was very convenient to put it in the house at night so that he didn’t have to touch it in the dark.
Oil lamps are so precious that they can only be found in the houses of priests, big leaders, and small leaders. They can only blacken them at night, or stay in the house without going out.
Tang Yue took out a small luminous pearl and gave it to Mu Yu, "Just think of it as the reward you brought me here. Don't let others see it." Wealth cannot be exposed, not to mention that this is a primitive society. Brutal, even killing people for food, not to mention the rare night pearl.
Mu Yu took the Night Pearl with both hands and quickly thanked him, "Thank you God for the gift. The body is in front of you. I will take you to see it." His attitude suddenly became positive. No more fear and hesitation before.
Tang Yue followed him to the first grave pit, which contained the recently buried people, "These are the newly buried elders of the tribe."
She found that the outside of the cave was damp. , but it was very dry inside. The corpses of the elders had not decomposed and were gradually turning into mummies.
But as we walked further in, all the corpses disappeared, not even the bones. The young man was shocked, "Where are the ancestors?" He also knew that the corpses in each pit were old and new, even if there were no corpses, they were all gone. The new corpse should at least have bones.
Tang Yue looked at the empty holes and asked the young man, "How many people are there in your tribe?" The young man recalled, "About a few thousand people."
Thousands of people There were not many tribes in primitive society, and there were only a few corpses in the tombs, which was unreasonable. But it would not be surprising if these people were actually resurrected after death and returned to the tribe to live a normal life.
She asked the young man, "Are there some people who you think are dead but still living among you?"
The young man looked confused at first, "How is this possible? Well, the resurrection of the dead is a big deal in the village, but we have never discovered it.”
Suddenly his expression became frightened and he knelt down, "No, I have died. The last time I was tricked into being a human sacrifice by my parents, I didn't rush home in time. I was already dead and was put in this pit." Inside." He pointed to a small hole on the right.
At this time, Tang Yue noticed that there were steps in the pit, which were obviously built for the corpses put into the pit...
"How could I survive? How could I Come back to life%" The young man kept mumbling to himself. There was a cold wind blowing in the cemetery, which was eerie.
Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Tang Yue with a strange expression, "I'm not a human? No, I am a human!"
Tang Yue scolded: "It's so late at night, who are you scaring? ? Looking for a fight?”
The young man then remembered that he should not be able to defeat God, and became a little more normal, “God, I remembered that someone in our village will indeed die, and then after a few Months later, he will return to the village to live just like he did before his death, but we all gradually forget about it for some reason."
Tang Yue asked: "How long have you lived here. ?”
Mu Yu was confused again, “It seems like a long, long time. We have been hunting, making food, making clothes, and avoiding the red moon. It feels like this life will never end.”
Tang Yue looked at Mu Yu and thought about the living conditions of their tribe. It sounds like everyone has maintained their current body and appearance, will not grow old, and will be resurrected in a few days after death, and then emerge from the cemetery. Climb back and live your life as usual.
This is also considered immortality in another sense.
Mu Yu said: "Could it be that our tribe worships the gods devoutly all year round, so we will be resurrected and come back here."
