"Incomprehensible behavior." Sikong expressed his opinion. "It is true that information carved on stone can be preserved for a long time, but the efficiency of expressing it with pictures is too low. They can clearly use words to record it, but they chose to be even more backward. This method cannot really be called rational.”
"No, this has nothing to do with reason, but a tradition." Xia Fan murmured in his mind.
The mural in front of you is not simply a narrative, but also a symbol of identity. He noticed that the characters in the painting were all lifelike, and even the folds of their clothes were carefully depicted; the scenes shown in the painting were all grand and magnificent, including scenes of fleets sailing on the sea and grand ceremonies held in oriental palaces. Judging from the technique and brushwork, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a work of art. For future generations, this will definitely be an excellent material for studying history.
"This person is the Mistress." Hua Lin looked at a woman in the painting and said, "She looks exactly like the image on the coin."
This person is not wearing oriental clothes, but a Western ceremonial robe and a wide-brimmed round hat. No matter which painting she is in, she is in the center area. Even if Princess Muye doesn't say anything, Xia Fan can guess that she is Stitch. Mistress.
But what concerned him more was the man standing next to the woman.
Like the mistress, he appears in almost every picture. In the mural with the palace in the background, the crown on his head has already revealed his identity.
At that time, there was only one person in the entire East who could show such a posture to others.
The King of the Eternal Empire.
That's why they use murals to record their lives, rather than summarizing them in a few lines.
"Did the Mistress get to know the Emperor of the East after coming to this continent?" Feleyton asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Xia Fan pointed to another palace scroll and said, "In the East, such a display is only done during weddings."
"Wedding?" The two of them exclaimed in unison.
"At least that's what's on the painting." He asked Si Kong in his mind, "You said that a team of people visited the escape tower more than a hundred years ago. Is there an exact time?"
"One hundred eighty-six years and thirty-seven days." The answer came quickly.
In the 180th year, Xia Fan thought about it. The Yong Dynasty was destroyed a hundred years ago, and the last King Yong was only in his thirties when he ascended the throne. In other words, the Yong Wang whom Stitch met should be the emperor of previous generations, and is not the same person as the Yong Wang who opened the Black Gate with his own hands and has survived to this day.
The contents of the following scrolls are becoming more and more amazing.
The two of them traveled to almost all the strange mountains and dangerous peaks in the Eastern Continent, including the volcanic area in the north of Qi State. They also used a magic weapon similar to a glider. Although it cannot fly independently, with the help of Xun Shu, they can completely cross it. Some dangerous situations that ordinary people cannot enter.
Their last stop was Bai Yao Mountain.
The mountains stretching for thousands of miles and the clouds and mists that never dissipate have become the most striking features of this place.
A team of up to ten thousand people began to challenge the mountains. Craftsmen set up supply stations on the mountain tops and observed every place where hang gliders could settle. Once determined, nearly a thousand people would mount their wings and rush to the top of another mountain under the strong wind inspired by Master Xun. Looking at the crowds of people taking off on the mural, Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the moths flying into the fire at night. In a sense, there was a certain similarity between them, because this unstable gliding flight was extremely dangerous. Once you encounter a gust of wind that changes direction in the mountains, it is easy to never return.
But compared to blind moths, such exploration is purposeful and meaningful. Xia Fan remembered Luo Qingqing once said that it was after the establishment of the Yong Dynasty that the order of the continent gradually stabilized. The first painting depicting the mountains and rivers of the entire continent The described map was also born during the Yong Dynasty. He didn't know whether this earliest "Map of the East" was written by this Eternal King, but there was no doubt that he should have made a huge contribution to the map.
When the team finally discovered the patio hidden in Bai Yao Mountain, only more than two hundred people were left. At the same time, due to the terrain, those gliding magic weapons could no longer help them fly away from the mountains in the opposite direction, so King Yong and Mother Stitch simply settled here. At that time, the cycle of evil spirits' attacks was still quite long, with an interval of almost decades. Therefore, even though they realized that this place was anything but ordinary, such as the aura surging at the bottom of the well that frightened the living, they were never affected by a large number of attacks. Evil spirits have attacked.
"In Silisti, which man the mistress will choose to be her partner has always been a topic that is talked about by the world." Hua Lin said with emotion, "I didn't expect that I would find the answer here."
"She has never been married in Natating?" Xia Fan asked.
"The rate of getting married in the blood race itself is very low. After all, spreading the bloodline does not require the cooperation of the other half." Felayton replied, "What's more, Mistress Stitch's status is high, and there is no shortage of lovers who can make her favor her. Even fewer want to be with you all the time.”
From this point of view, King Yong is indeed an ideal target.
At that time, the Yong Dynasty's national power was strong, and the research on magic was in full bloom. At the same time, it also deeply affected the surrounding neighboring countries, and had the potential to unify the East. Coupled with the different culture and novel travel experience, it seems not surprising that the mistress is attracted to King Yong.
It's just that there is a small regret here.
Although King Yong's lifespan is long, it is much shorter than that of the Vampires.
Those who sense Qi will enter old age in their eighties, and battles and injuries will accelerate this process. At the end of the mural, the man has obviously aged and can no longer drive the gliding weapon and lead the team to the front as he did when he was young. .
In the past few decades, more than two hundred people have lost more than half of their lives trying to find a way out. However, it can be seen from the content of the painting that such an attempt was not ineffective. They seemed to have made contact with the sentinel point previously established on the top of the mountain, and it was just around the corner to leave the mountains.
But King Yong did not do this.
He chose to use the patio as his mausoleum and enter eternal sleep here.
Although there is no explanation in the painting, Xia Fan can still guess some clues. If a king has been away from the center of power for decades, the Yongchao court must have undergone earth-shaking changes. Even if he can return to the royal capital safely, it will not be a good thing to face the newly ascended King Yong.
In short, King Yong stayed, and so did Mistress Stitch.
Not only that, the mistress also used the secret method of the blood clan to give birth to a child with the blood of both parties. In order for the child to awaken as a Qi-sensing person, the mistress introduced her original blood into the offspring, and this scene was also recorded by the muralist.
"Oh my god" Hua Lin suddenly whispered.
"What's wrong?" Xia Fan turned to look at her.
"This ceremony is not a first embrace ceremony." She covered her lips in disbelief. "The mistress uses a inheritance ceremony to pass on her blood to the next generation."
"What does that mean?" Xia Fan asked confused.
"It means that this child is not a descendant of Madam Stitch, but the next generation of Madam Stitch," Hua Lin murmured.
