Section 496
Apparently he has already guessed what this second skull is.
"Haha, it turns out...it's that thing!"
"If you put it that way, you kid really got their national treasure back!"
The two old men looked at each other,
There was a playful smile on all faces.
Chen Ming curled his lips and looked sideways at the two old men.
"Old gentlemen, if you two continue to flirt with each other like this and act secretly, I will leave!"
It doesn’t matter whether the idiom is used correctly or not, he uses it first and then speaks it!
The boss of the Cultural Relics Department finally smiled and said a name leisurely.
"Yama no Orochi..."
"The mythical beast in the legend of the island country."
"Have you heard of it?"
Yamata no Orochi?
When you hear this name, look at the huge skull on the table in front of you.
Chen Ming was stunned and said subconsciously,
"Isn't that stuff... made up by the island country for its own entertainment?"
Could it be that the skull in front of me belongs to... Yamata no Orochi?
This is too ridiculous!
The boss of the Ministry of Cultural Relics seemed to know what he was thinking.
Suddenly he looked at him with an inexplicable wise look and spoke mysteriously.
"Young man, although you are very good at fighting."
“But we still need to maintain a sense of awe for history and mythology!”
"There are so many mysterious and ancient beings in this world!"
That’s all,
The head of the Ministry of Cultural Relics did not explain further.
As the big brother of the Ministry of Cultural Relics, he
One of the most important tasks is dealing with the secrets buried deep in history.
So compared to ordinary people, I naturally know more mysterious and weird things.
Some of them are even far beyond ordinary people’s cognition!
For those things,
He has always adhered to two principles:
One is that he strongly believes in the saying "there is no smoke without smoke".
All folklore, historical myths, and underground ruins,
It can't be just made up like this.
There must be an original "point" that creates and extends all of this!
And the other one is,
No matter how weird and unreal what you find may be,
You don’t have to believe it, but you must maintain a heart of awe!
Because it's very possible,
The reason why you don't want to believe it is just because your knowledge hasn't reached that stage yet!
It's because humans are not yet capable of exploring the truth behind those things.
Maybe one day,
When human cognition is enough to reveal all the truth behind it,
Only then will you discover,
Things that seemed so incredible in the past actually have real logic behind them.
The end of science is not metaphysics,
It's just that science beyond metaphysics has not yet been achieved by humans.
Things that are beyond our current understanding,
Weird,
But it's true!
...
The boss of the Cultural Relics Department looked at the ferocious skull on the table and spoke softly,
"Eight heads and eight tails, the head is like a dragon, and the body is covered with eight-colored clouds."
"She likes to eat sacrificed virgins, and she is pregnant with the sword of the divine weapon."
"It is both a legendary beast and an evil beast."
"In the mythology of the island country, Yamata-no-Orochi was later killed by their hero because he was drunk because of excessive drinking."
Listening to what the head of the Ministry of Cultural Relics said,
Chen Ming muttered,
"Yummy people, eight heads and eight tails..."
"You were drunk and killed?"
"Is this thing worthy of being a legendary beast?"
"The monsters in our Journey to the West are much stronger than this thing..."
He said "this thing" one after another,
It is true that some people look down on this so-called "mythical beast" Yamata no Orochi!
The boss of the Cultural Relics Department also smiled and said with some pride,
"That is!"
"We can crush the mythical beasts native to Dragon Kingdom at any cost!"
"But we are looking at the poor with the mentality of the rich."
"The Human Island Kingdom only has such a legendary beast that it can handle, so naturally it must be properly worshiped!"
Realizing that the topic was a little off track, the head of the cultural relics department pulled back.
"Anyway, Yamata no Orochi was later enshrined by the island nation as the most powerful divine beast that protects the country."
"They even took out a skull, saying it was one of the only eight preserved heads of the Yamata no Orochi!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"At that time, it directly aroused the worship of the entire island nation, making them proud..."
"I didn't expect that this time... I was brought back by your boy!"
The boss of the Ministry of Cultural Relics still vaguely remembers the proud look on the faces of the cultural relics personnel of the island country when they found this skull.
I’m even more excited than when I discovered the national treasure!
There is also the scene of thousands of people kneeling down to pay homage...
He directly regarded this skull as a sacred spiritual sustenance!
but now......
Their sacred "spiritual sustenance" was conveniently taken to the Dragon Kingdom by someone...
Looking at the ferocious skull on the table, I thought of several other things.
The boss of the Cultural Relics Department couldn't help but look at Chen Ming with a strange look on his face.
"Tsk tsk..."
"The demon sword Murasame was cut off, the head of Yamata no Orochi disappeared, and the divine toilet was blown to pieces;"
"Any one of these three things alone can drive the island nation and its people crazy!"
"What's more, this time all three things happened at the same time..."
"You kid... you're too cruel!"
"It's no less than dropping two more nuclear bombs on the island nation..."
"Mental bombardment can sometimes hurt people more than physical attacks!"
