Chronicles of Celestial Origins

This...what's going on? Tangning's mind was in a state of confusion. She lowered her head and stared at the broken bones lying on the ground in disbelief. What he wanted most at this moment was to explain everything clearly to the dead high priest face to face. Unfortunately, this was simply impossible.

The bones of the high priest were scattered on the ground. The direction of his skull was facing him, and his two empty eyes seemed to be looking at him.

Tangning was shocked and swallowed her saliva unconsciously. If the prophetic patterns left by the high priest in the conical building where Haixi prayed can be explained by coincidence, then the first three patterns on this black scroll , has clearly pointed to him as the divine messenger of the prophecy, and there is no room for reversal.

In the second floor of the Haixi Prayer Hall, the prophecy left by the high priest is in the last two paintings. One is of a man coming to the West Sea and appearing next to a lake with flying birds and grass.

The other picture shows a man following the orc to the cone-shaped building and opening the black book.

Although the two paintings were the same as the scenes he experienced at that time, because the man in the paintings was not visible and there was only a human silhouette, Tangning did not feel that the person in the paintings was him, because he clearly knew that he was not some bullshit messenger. It's just a coincidence.

The two paintings can't explain anything. There are many possibilities. Maybe the high priest fooled the Haiyue clan and painted them casually, and he happened to catch up. Or maybe in the future, a messenger will really come and appear in the scene in the painting, but he just arrived first. .

However, the paintings in front of him cannot be explained by coincidence, especially the scenes of the Two Boundary Mountains and the white-bone whale swallowing him. It has been clearly pointed out that he is the messenger of God prophesied by the high priest.

Any talk of coincidence at this time is undoubtedly deceiving oneself and others.

Although these pictures still do not depict his face from the front, and are all blurred outlines or backgrounds, the scenes in the paintings clearly point to him. There is no doubt that this is specially reserved for him.

If others see these pictures, they may not know who the messenger of the gods is, but they will definitely know that it is him.

Why didn't the high priest directly draw his appearance?

Maybe he didn't know who the divine messenger was, but he just vaguely foresaw the future scene in order to record the scene.

Tangning tried her best to calm down her excitement and continued reading. There were six pictures on the black paper roll. Except for the first three pictures, which were exactly the same as the scenes he experienced, the last few pictures could not be definitely from him.

The fourth picture shows a place full of spring, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

The fifth picture shows a man sitting high, receiving worship from the Haiyue clan.

The sixth picture is a scene where a large number of Haiyue people gather.

At this time, he discovered that there was a line of small words on the black stone box, which was the language of the Qi Ling tribe. There was only one sentence.

The ancestors knew everything.

Tangning frowned and stroked her chin. What did this sentence mean?

The ancestors knew everything. Could it be that these pictures were told to him by the ancestors of the Haiyue Clan through some method, but the ancestors of the Haiyue Clan should have been dead long ago!

Literally speaking, this ancestor of the Haiyue Clan knew everything he predicted.

Wait, the high priest left this sentence on the stone box, obviously to remind people who came to see the prophecy, that is, it was reserved for the messengers of gods.

Is this a hint that the ancestors of the Haiyue Clan have the answers they want to know?

No matter how you understand it, one thing is certain. If you want to understand all this, you need to go to the ancestors of the Haiyue Clan.

Tangning put away the black paper roll, put it back on the stone box, and closed it intact.

Although the prophecy left by the High Priest of the Haiyue Clan made it clear that he was the messenger of the gods, he really had no sense of identity, so he did not take the stone box away. The prophecy was still left for others to come.

Perhaps, there is a one-in-a-million, one-in-a-billion chance that the high priest’s prophecy was made by someone else. Maybe thousands or thousands of years later, someone who has also experienced these scenes will arrive.

If he is really the messenger of the gods he refers to, it can only prove one thing: the so-called gods are nothing but myths.

Tang Ning originally wanted to lift up the high priest's body and restore it to its original sitting posture, but the bones had been scattered into several pieces and could not be restored, so she left it alone.

When he walked out of the round tomb, the two stone elephants were still kneeling on one knee with their heads lowered, but they were different from before. One of their hands had been put down and rested on their right legs. It was no longer the same as before. That inviting gesture.

Tangning couldn't help but feel a little curious. She looked at the two stone elephants carefully and found that they looked like puppets, but they didn't look alike.

Puppet usually has a simple sense of giving instructions, such as attacking the invading enemy. I have never seen one that can distinguish the situation and salute like this.

It felt to him as if the consciousness of life was controlling the two stone statues. After a few glances, he couldn't see the doorway, so he walked straight forward until he reached the end of the stone wall, pushed open the black stone door, and walked out of the inner room. , the sound of the stone statue moving suddenly came from behind.

He looked back and saw two stone statues standing up at the same time. The red light blooming in their eyes quickly extinguished, as if their souls disappeared. The two stone statues instantly disintegrated and shattered on the ground.

…

"Mr. Messenger, have you seen the prophecy left by the high priest?" Aguda was waiting outside the mountain. When he saw him coming out from inside, he quickly stepped forward to salute and asked.

Tangning nodded: "Aguda, where are your ancestors buried?"

Aguda looked a little solemn when he heard this: "Master Messenger, do you want to go to the ancestor's mausoleum?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"The tomb of our ancestors is in the center of Yuanhuan Mountain, but..."

"But what?"

"The ancestors' mausoleum is a taboo place for our clan. The ancestors left their last words and no one is allowed to enter. It is passed down by the clan orally that the ancestors' mausoleum is related to the survival of the clan. There is also a prohibition circle taught by the supreme death god in it. Once triggered, the entire The Yuanhua Mountains will all turn into ruins." Aguda was obviously very worried about this.

Yuanhuan Mountain is already the last piece of pure land in Hainan. If the magic circle in the ancestor's tomb is triggered and Yuanhuan Mountain is reduced to ashes and becomes a ruin, then the Haiyue Clan will have no place in Hainan.

If anyone else made this request, he would definitely rebuke him severely and refuse him.

However, faced with Tang Ning's personal request from the divine messenger, he could not refuse, so he was in a dilemma.

"Is the forbidden magic circle taught by the God of Death real? Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Tangning did not expect that this ancestor of the Haiyue Clan would actually set up a magic circle in his place of death. It seems that the matter is not that simple. But he was determined to find out the ins and outs of all this.

"No, the underground palace of the ancestors' tombs is the most important place for our clan. Before the migration, our clan had dedicated people to guard the tombs for generations." Aguda asked cautiously: "May I ask, Lord Messenger, why do you want to go to the ancestors' tombs?"

"It's a prophecy left by your high priest, saying that your ancestors knew everything. I don't understand what this sentence means, but this prophecy was obviously left to me, so I want to go inside to investigate." Tangning did not hide it. Tell the truth.

"The prophecy of the high priest?" Upon hearing that it was the prophecy of the high priest, Aguda's expression became more solemn. The rule of not trespassing in the tombs of ancestors has been passed down orally from generation to generation of the Haiyue tribe, and it is clearly a taboo written in the clan rules, but the high priest's The ability was something he had seen with his own eyes.

Both are the most important sages in the history of the Haiyue Clan. One founded the Haiyue Clan, and the other saved the Haiyue Clan from life and death.

Unexpectedly, one day there will be a conflict between the two. If you follow the high priest's last words, it will be against the clan rules. If you abide by the clan rules, you will offend the messenger of the gods.

Tangning saw his dilemma and threatened it: "Even if the taboo that your clan has always passed down orally is true, triggering the great god's injury restriction circle and turning the entire Yuanhuan Mountain into ruins, it's not a big deal. Anyway, it's not a big deal. You have all migrated to Haixi, and now Hainan is a barren land. One more Yuanhuan Mountain is not much, and one less Yuanhuan Mountain is not much."

"The last words left by the high priest are related to whether the great gods forgive you for the mistakes you have committed. Only by finding out the whole story can I intercede with the great gods on your behalf and ask the great gods to forgive your mistakes."

"Think about it carefully! Aguda, is it more important to guard this last piece of pure land in Hainan, or is the survival of the race more important?"

After A Gu inquired about his words that were half threatening and half enlightening, he no longer hesitated and immediately expressed his position: "I understand, Sir Messenger, I will take you to the ancestor's mausoleum now."
