Chapter 622: The Black Bird Gives Birth to the Shang Dynasty

Lin Shen thought that Fatty might be a mutant Xuanniao. The Xuanniao Temple here might be dedicated to its ancestor.

However, whether Fatty is a mutant Xuanniao is still debatable.

After all, the Xuanniao obtained by the Xuanniao base are all black, and Xuan itself also means black. Whether Fatty, a white bird, can be a mutant Xuanniao is still a question.

Lin Shen and his friends were quite puzzled to see the Xuanniao Temple here. After all, Xuanniao is indeed far inferior to the gods worshipped in the three temples above.

This reminded Lin Shen of one thing. If you want to find Hulu Mountain, you must have Xuanniao to lead the way, which means that Xuanniao has some special relationship with Hulu Mountain. There is actually a Xuanniao Temple where the Hulu Mountain cave leads. This makes Lin Shen feel that things are not that simple.

Fatty got out of the backpack, stood on Lin Shen's shoulder, and stretched his head to look inside.

"The Xuanniao in mythology and legends has a bad reputation." Ouyang Yudu said.

"Why... not... good..." Wei Wufu obviously didn't know the myth of Xuanniao, so he asked.

"Have you heard the myth of Xuanniao giving birth to Shang?" Ouyang Yudu asked.

"No." Wei Wufu shook his head.

"It is said that in ancient times, the black bird was a messenger from heaven. Three women were bathing in the river. A black bird flew over with an egg in its mouth. The egg fell into the river. One of the three women took the egg and swallowed it. She became pregnant and gave birth to the famous ancestor of the Shang tribe. This is the story of the black bird giving birth to the Shang."

Ouyang Yudu paused and said, "If we look at it from the perspective of mythology, this is a legend of a son of God descending from heaven. But if we interpret it from the perspective of human nature, this may be a crime. We all know that in reality, no matter what kind of egg it is, it is impossible to make a person pregnant, so there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that the woman got pregnant before marriage, which may be due to being violated, or the man may not be responsible, so he can only find such an excuse to give birth to the child. The second possibility is that the egg brought by the black bird is a parasite. The woman swallowed the egg and was parasitized, which is even more terrifying. No matter which possibility it is, the woman is unfortunate and endures the pain she should not endure."

"So that's it." Lin Shen listened to Ouyang Yudu's interpretation and found it quite interesting.

Fatty seemed to want to go in. Lin Shen patted his head and walked towards the Xuanniao Temple to see what was enshrined in the Xuanniao Temple.

Like the previous temple, the buildings in the Xuanniao Temple were basically destroyed, and only the main hall was still well preserved.

The three pushed open the main hall door, and just like before, they saw a human-shaped statue hanging from the beam of the temple.

Lin Shen originally thought that it should be a Xuanniao statue, but he didn't expect that it was a human-like statue.

What's more puzzling is that the statue is actually an old man, not the heroine of Xuanniao Shengshang.

"No... That's not a statue... It's a corpse... A human corpse..." Ouyang Yuyang looked at it for a while, and suddenly his face was gloomy.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu looked at it carefully, and they really saw the problem. Although the corpse looked like a statue, it was obvious that the skin was dried.

The body of an ordinary person would be dried up by the wind, and would be skin and bones, but this corpse is still plump like a living person. If the skin is not weathered, it is hard to imagine that this is a real corpse.

Lin Shen and his friends did not see that this was a corpse at first, and this is also the reason.

"Other temples hang statues of gods, how come the one hanging here is a human corpse?" Lin Shen stared at the corpse and tried to judge his identity from his clothes.

Fortunately, his clothes are relatively intact, but the style looks special. It is not a modern popular style, but should be a more ancient robe.

Lin Shen has no research on ancient clothing, so he can't tell which dynasty it belongs to.

After Ouyang Yudu looked carefully for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Although it is hard to tell which dynasty the clothes belong to, it is certain that they are not modern styles and craftsmanship, but should be relatively ancient things."

"That's strange." Lin Shen couldn't help but frown.

If Hulu Mountain fell here more than two hundred years ago, it would be impossible for an extremely ancient person to come here through Hulu Mountain.

But there is a human corpse here, so there are only two possibilities.

Either Hulu Mountain has been here for a long time, so the ancients were able to get here through Hulu Mountain. Or this corpse is not a human at all, but just looks like one.

"It's different to look at it, check if there is anything on him." Lin Shen put on the shell and carefully turned the pockets of the corpse's clothes.

Fatty has been curiously looking at everything in the Xuanniao Hall, his eyes fell on the corpse from time to time, but he did not take any further action.

Lin Shen turned it over for a while, and he really found something, which was a jade tablet that was thick at the top and narrow at the bottom, about one foot long.

Lin Shen took the jade tablet and looked at it, and found that there were words engraved on both sides of the stone tablet, but he looked familiar with the words on it, but he couldn't recognize what they were.

"Ouyang, take a look at what these words are." Lin Shen handed the jade tablet to Ouyang Yudu.

Ouyang Yudu took it and looked at it, and said seriously: "This should be a kind of writing in the development stage of hieroglyphics. Although it is very different from the writing we use now, it is indeed the writing of our human beings. It seems that this is indeed a human being, and an ancient human being."

Lin Shen flipped over the corpse again, trying to see if he could find other useful things.

As a result, there was nothing else in this man's pocket except this jade tablet.

"As a human being, let's bury him in peace." Lin Shen lifted the corpse and took him down from the rope hanging around his neck.

The corpse just left the rope and suddenly caught fire, like white phosphorus meeting air, and the whole body burned.

Lin Shen hurriedly threw the corpse away, and the corpse burned wildly on the ground, and soon burned into a ball of ash.

"What's going on?" Lin Shen stared at the ball of ash on the ground in a daze, not knowing what was going on and why the corpse suddenly caught fire.

"There's something inside." Ouyang Yudu was sharp-eyed and saw something. He picked up a wooden stick and dug a few times in the ashes, and something was pulled out.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of silk-like product. Strangely, this piece of silk, which was slightly larger than a palm, was not damaged at all in the burning just now.
