Jiang Man's question is also something that I find very puzzling.

Logically speaking, since those who painted the murals overthrew the rule of the ugly royal family, they had no reason to boast about them.

If the royal family that has returned from their campaign truly wins, they will certainly continue to build their mausoleum and will absolutely not allow such murals, which would bring them eternal infamy, to exist.

The following scenes depict the rulers returning and wreaking havoc on living beings everywhere.

As Jiang Man and I discussed the possible scenarios, we began to walk forward along the wall.

After a few images, the content on the wall transformed into a huge hall, with a group of people surrounding a corpse.

The corpse was naked and covered in fleshy growths.

The next image shows a person in a robe holding a long sword.

Immediately afterwards, scenes of war appeared.

Jiang Man looked at the contents on the wall repeatedly: "This scene appeared too abruptly, did you understand it?"

"The Xia Dynasty was China's first hereditary dynasty and also a slave state in the form of a tribal alliance. The tribe that built the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace and was led by those ugly fellows was one of the alliance members of the Xia Dynasty! As a subordinate of the Xia Dynasty, the court naturally had to protect its safety! If nothing unexpected happens, the person wielding the sword should be the monarch of the Xia Dynasty! However, judging from this scene, it is not clear which monarch it is."

I shared my guess: "The meaning behind these scenes is that the tribe was unable to withstand the attack of the old rulers, so they asked Xia Tianzi for help and brought back a soldier's corpse! Judging from these scenes, the soldiers brought back by the old rulers were indeed different from normal people!"

"You mean, this person covered in tumors is a soldier brought back by the tribal ruler?"

Jiang Man shook her head: "I think this person is more like he has some kind of disease, and he definitely can't be a soldier! Imagine someone who has become like this, how could he continue to fight?"

"According to you, this scene appearing in this mural is rather abrupt. I think it's more likely that it's a soldier's corpse. Perhaps the strange appearance is just because the corpse decomposed during its transport here."

I continued to look in the direction that King Xia's longsword was pointing, and saw that the army was already engaged in fierce fighting with the army of the former tribal leader.

This time, the Xia Dynasty sent an even stronger army, but the outcome was still the same.

Although the tribe's former leader's army was small in number, its destructive power was immense.

The scene shifts, and these tribal soldiers are now standing on a mountain of corpses, slaughtering the Xia Dynasty army.

As expected, the Xia Dynasty's army suffered another crushing defeat this time.

Not only that, the tribe's army also took the opportunity to launch an attack, invading other tribes, leaving a trail of heads wherever they went.

In response, the Xia king dispatched a large number of troops, and the two sides engaged in a series of bloody battles. However, the Xia army dwindled with each battle, while the tribe's soldiers grew in number.

Just as the Xia Dynasty army was losing, a general wearing a long robe suddenly appeared in the army formation. This man was tall, two heads taller than the ordinary soldiers.

Under his leadership, the tribal army's offensive was finally halted, a large number of tribal soldiers were killed, and they began to approach the tribal camp.

The next scene is still a battle, but the general is not on the main battlefield; instead, he goes around to a mountain.

Below the mountain was a huge valley, in which a massive house had been built. A group of ugly-faced tribal royalty, wielding swords, were forcing a group of slaves into the valley.

The large house in this picture is like a watershed. On one side are trembling slaves with fear on their faces, while on the other side are a group of fierce warriors charging towards the battlefield outside the valley.

"That's strange."

Jiang Man stood on tiptoe, as if trying to see through the house in the picture: "If my analysis is correct, this picture is supposed to depict a Xia Dynasty general scouting the camp during a battle, right? Look at the expressions of the two types of people in the picture. The slaves in the back are clearly ordinary people, but after passing the house in this valley, they become invincible soldiers! In other words, they are recruiting soldiers on the eve of battle! So what is the function of this house that can transform cowardly soldiers into fierce warriors in an instant?"

I pointed to the general on the cliff: "He is more curious than we are about what's inside, and only he can reveal the answer to us!"

Yes! It's right here!

Jiang Man skipped over the scene of the battle in the middle and shone her flashlight on a scene of a general descending the mountain.

In the scene, the general killed the royal family members guarding the mountain pass and led his men into the house.

Inside the room was a statue with the face of a royal, despicable and ugly figure.

Suddenly, the general went berserk, slaughtered all his followers, and then transformed into a ferocious god, charging towards his own army formation.

This time, the Xia army suffered another crushing defeat.

In the imperial court, the general's attendant, who had managed to escape, told King Xia everything, but suddenly went mad and was killed by the chaotic army.

Just as the two slaves were about to dispose of the attendant's body, he suddenly attacked, killing several people before being torn to pieces.

The scene changes, and an old man stands on a mountaintop, bowing to the moon, surrounded by many skull pillars supported by wooden sticks.

Under the moonlight, several people rushed out from behind the old man, set fire to the tribal army's camp, and charged in while the fire raged.

The next scene shows the battle over, but the corpses scattered on the ground rise up again and launch a counterattack.

To deal with these fierce soldiers, the old man set up a large cauldron and used some kind of liquid to cook the arrows, unleashing a volley of arrows at them.

Next, led by the old man, the group tied the corpses with vines and carried them into the half-finished mausoleum.

In addition, there is another scene where a group of people are about to smash the statue, but as they are smashing it, a crack suddenly appears in the sky, and a ray of light descends from the sky, turning all of them into skeletons.

Further on, the old man led the group, carrying a large coffin into the cave.

In the final scene, the mountain has returned to its original state, and a large number of houses have been built around it.

Seeing that the fourth wall had closed in with the first, Jiang Man looked helpless: "What is this? I thought this mural was a historical record, but it turned out to be a myth!"

“During the feudal period, people were not fully civilized. When they encountered things they couldn’t understand or comprehend, they liked to categorize them as myths and legends. But if they thought about it carefully, they might not be unable to find flaws! The things in this tomb were pretty much what I expected.”

I stared at the mural on the wall, and the more I looked, the more chilled I felt: "It was all wrong, everything was wrong!"
