Dream Guide

Qingmu looked at Situ, who happened to be looking at him at this time. Due to the thick fog, their faces were a bit blurry in each other's eyes, but their consciousnesses appeared clearly in each other's spiritual world like lightning that could penetrate the thick fog.

Situ was still so calm and said in a calm tone: "Madam, you might as well finish telling the mythical stories of the Itesans. Myths are the source of civilization. The ancient myths we hear are like gamma ray bursts captured in the universe. Likewise, although it is only a sporadic flash of light, it proves the former glory of the long-dead stars in the dark depths of the universe. You are an expert in this field, and you may be able to glimpse some traces of ancient civilizations."

"Okay." Mrs. Larry smiled and continued to tell the myths and legends of the Itesa people. "In addition to Cheva and Ischeva, the other five children of Unab are named Sanchi, Mantiston, and Toto. Shaw, Chajak, and Hurakan.

Sanchi represents the tree of life, the driving force for life growth and the spiritual source of all things. He lives where Cheva and Ischeva rise. Cheva liked to compete with him, while Ischeva liked to nestle among the branches of Sanchi and spy on what people were doing at night. It is said that Sanchi later grew too tall and blocked the light of Cheva. Chewa went to complain to Unab, and Unab sent a big bird to carry Chewa to the highest place in the sky every day. After completing the task, it stopped on top of Sanchi's head and waited for the arrival of the next day. "

When saying this, everyone turned to look at Aoki and the crow above him. Although only an outline could be seen in the thick fog, this added to their mystery.

Lying in Su Huilan's arms, Sheng Ran meowed.

Crow felt something strange and felt a little uncomfortable all over. He shouted: "Oh, why do I feel a little hot on my back! Guagua... have you seen there is... a sun on my back?!"

People laughed and said, "Oh yes, there is a sun on your back, that's how your hair is baked into black!"

Mrs. Larry also smiled and said: "Actually, there are similar stories to this in human myths and legends. For example, the hibiscus tree and the golden crow in Eastern mythology are very close to this; the Negrito people in Oceania According to legend, it is crows that bring fire and light to the world; in the legend of the Haida people in the Pacific, ravens are thieves of sunlight; the Koryak people in Russia believe that volcanic movements are caused by crows. These are all related to It is related to the sun or fire. The most interesting thing is that in Greek mythology, the sun god Apollo kept a white raven. There is a saying that Apollo never drove a golden carriage, but traveled around the world riding a white raven."

"Can a white one be called a crow?"

"Maybe it used to be called a white raven! In mythology, Apollo's raven had snow-white feathers. At that time, Apollo was in love with the mortal princess Coronis, but the princess had an affair with a mortal during her pregnancy, and she happened to be Raven saw it.

After learning the news, Apollo and his sister Artemis, the goddess of hunting, went for revenge. Artemis shot everyone with a bow and arrow, including the princess Coronis. Apollo took the unborn child out of the princess's belly and gave it to the centaur and half-horse Chiron, the god of medicine Asclepius, to raise and teach him.

Later, Apollo regretted that he should not have been so impulsive, so he became angry with the raven that carried the message. His anger scorched the raven's feathers, and the raven turned black from then on. "

"Oh, what a sad story!" cried the crow, "Well... no need to talk about crows anymore. Speaking of other things, aren't there so many gods? It's impossible to all raise crows..."

Mrs. Larry said: "Because I am familiar with the tribe here, Sanchi represents the god who protects this tribe, so I know more about them. For the other few, I only know that Mantis represents mountains and strength. He lived where Cheva and Ischeva fell.

Whenever the great Unab ascends to the sky and looks at the world with his millions of eyes, the naughty Cheva will hide behind his brother Mantiston to avoid being punished by his father, while Ischeva Will throw herself into her father's arms coquettishly. Unab sometimes loves his daughter and deliberately hides his own light, making Ischeva the brightest color in the night sky. "

"Quack! What a loving God!" cried the crow, "What about others?"

"Tosho is the god of fire, symbolizing flame; Chayak is the god of ice, representing ice and water; Hurakan is the god of wind, symbolizing wind and all things that change. But we have not yet seen the tribes protected by these gods. , so I don’t know their stories, nor have I seen their totems or appearance. I think that the place we are now must be the territory of one of the gods. Those savages who suddenly retreated yesterday are not sure where they are. A people of God..." Mrs. Larry began to think deeply after she finished speaking.

Qingmu and Situ looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak. Aoki was almost certain that this was the territory of Wind God Wulakan, and he knew that Situ must also think so.

Now it seems that these myths are indeed groundless.

The different attributes represented by the five patron saints are the properties of the five spiritual force fields, or they can also be considered as the frequencies of five different spiritual fluctuations. As for Aoki and Situ, whether it was a coincidence or some other special reason, their mental power happened to match the wave frequency of one of the mental force fields, so they could have a mental connection with the corresponding scepter.

"Where is Gaia?" Situ suddenly asked, "Madam, you just mentioned Gaia."

"Oh, yes, there is Gaia." Mrs. Larry seemed to be sorting out the information she got. "Their legends don't have much about the origin of Gaia. They only know that Gaia and Unab jointly control the starry sky. God. He is jealous of the light world created by Unab and has been trying to let the darkness swallow the light.

Evil Gaia is everywhere, and once her tentacles touch you, there is no escape. She can kill people silently, and people need to be careful of her arrival at any time and avoid her evil tentacles. "

"tentacle?"

"Well, this is a translation of mine, which may not be accurate. According to Cooperta's description, it should be a kind of magic similar to mind control, which can control people's souls and thoughts. Because it seems to be somewhere between tangible and intangible , the Itesan people cannot see it, but the priests holding the god-given scepter can. So I translated it as 'tentacle'."

"and after?"

"In order to protect the starry sky, Unab couldn't care about the human world. His five sons also stepped into the nebula and followed Unab to fight Gaia.

Mortals cannot resist Gaia's tentacles and can only look forward to the day when the gods return victoriously. More and more mortals died, and finally one day, a hero named Itsa stood up, cut off Gaia's tentacles with a giant sword, and led the tribe to build an altar to echo the gods and fight Gaia's evil army. fighting.

We were standing where they had fought - Ramla - meaning 'journey' in their language.

After Itesa died, the Itesa people continued to fight and guard the altar until the day the god returned. This is what the hymn to the stars you heard last night was about. "
