Chapter 1196 (1/2)
Night fell quickly.
In the mountains and forests of the United Kingdom after nightfall, the temperature is very low.
In the closet in the living room of the wooden house, a raging fire has been lit.
Vanessa stretched out and said to Zhang Yi and Adela:
”Let's have a rest early. We'll start entering the mountain tomorrow. It's estimated that we won't have a chance to sleep in two or three days.”
After that, Vanessa went back to her room to sleep.
In the living room, only Zhang Yi and Adela were left.
Zhang Yi sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the book in his hand.
What is recorded in the book is all ancient myths about the western world.
Both the eastern world and the western world are a whole of the earth.
Zhang Yi is not a complacent person. He doesn't mind understanding the western world while understanding the eastern world.
Through reading the ancient myths of the East and the west, Zhang Yi also found that they have many amazing similarities.
In the ancient myths of the eastern world, after Pangu opened the world, there were two gods, Fuxi and Nuwa. In the western world, God also created Adam and Eve, the ancestors of mankind, after the creation of the world.
In the myth of the western world, a snake lured Eve and Adam to eat forbidden fruit to reproduce human beings. In ancient oriental myths, Fuxi and Nuwa were also human faces and snake bodies. Nuwa was Fuxi's sister, and they finally combined to become the ancestors of mankind.
It took seven days for God to create the century. It also took seven days for Nu Wa to create chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, horses, humans and other creatures. God began to make Adam and Eve on the seventh day. Nu Wa also made people with loess and water according to her appearance on the seventh day.
At the same time, great floods have been recorded in both the East and the West.
In our oriental legend, people couldn't live because of the flood in ancient times, so Dayu began his flood control journey, took everyone to dig nine canals and open nine mountains, and spent 13 years dividing the world into nine states and establishing a country.
In Western legends, God saw that human beings fell and regretted creating human beings, so he thought of a way to start the extinction of creatures again. He chose Noah's family as survivors, took a pair of each creature and got on the built ship. So God sent down a flood, and all the creatures except those in the ark were drowned.
He stole the ”Xi soil” that could block the flood from the Tianting, helped people subdue the flood and was executed by the emperor of heaven; Prometheus was severely punished by God for stealing fire for human beings, so that the eagle tore and pecked his body with sharp claws.
Herakris killed Hydra, a nine headed serpent. Hou Yi also killed the nine babies of the big poisonous snake with nine heads. And they kill many monsters for the people, which are very similar.
The western sun God Po drives a solar car to inspect the world, and the eastern sun god Xihe also drives across the sky.
Centaur is a kind of Centaur monster in Western mythology. Their upper body is a man and their lower body is a horse. Centaur is also the image symbol of Western Centaurus《 The book of mountains and seas - the North Mountain Sutra records that the head of the North secondary mountain Sutra, from the Taihang mountain to the Wufeng mountain, is 462350 miles, and its gods are all horses and people. It means that there are 46 mountains from Taihang mountain to Wufeng mountain, of which 20 mountain gods are the images of horse body and human face.
Halpier is a monster with human face and bird body in Western mythology. It is responsible for bringing the dead to Hades. There are many images of human face and bird body in the book of mountains and seas, such as Yu Qiang in the great wilderness north Sutra, Eastern Jumang and Yu Guo in the East China Sea, as well as the messenger green bird under the throne of the West Queen Mother.
In addition, there are too many similarities.
There are many similarities in ancient myths between the East and the west, which makes Zhang Yi inevitably have some guesses.
Perhaps in that very ancient era, there was no distinction between the East and the West. All humans lived in a common birthplace, and they had the same knowledge and encountered the same things. Therefore, so many similar myths have been handed down.
Zhang Yi has no time to delve into the mystery of the origin of ancient humans, but he is full of interest in ancient civilization.
He has been able to determine that there is a brilliant ancient civilization in the eastern world, and there may be a similar ancient civilization in the western world.
Through the excavation of the secrets of the western world, Zhang Yi believes that he can find some answers to the ancient secrets of the eastern world.
”Master, don't you rest?”
A gentle female voice came.
Zhang Yi recovered from his meditation. He turned his head and saw that it was Adela.
In front of outsiders, Adela always looks noble, cold and inaccessible, but in front of Zhang Yi, she is gentle, humble and especially gentle.
Zhang Yi said:
”I'll read for a while, but you should have an early rest.”
Adela shook her head slightly, and she replied:
”The sect leader forgot that I am a vampire now. For us vampires, night is the most active time.”
Zhang Yi Sun ran.
He reached out and rubbed his temples, laughing:
”I can't help but think of you as still in the door of rejuvenation.”
Adela is also full of memories:
”Yes, I didn't become a formal disciple at that time, and I was still serving as the close maid of the sect leader. Whenever the sect leader stays up late to review the sect documents, I always make a pot of tea for the sect leader and help the sect leader massage and relax. ”
At this point, Adela got up and came to Zhang Yi's skill.
She put her hands on Zhang Yi's shoulders and said softly:
”Sect leader, please let me massage and relax for the sect leader like those in those days.”
Zhang Yi put down his book and closed his eyes:
”Yes.”
