Chapter 329

Chen and Guo find more pre-war murals.
There were four huge murals carved into the walls. They were preserved much more perfectly than the ones outside, and they immediately drew Long Chen's attention.
Each one of them depicted a different scene, but they all contained images of humans living in an extremely auspicious and peaceful manner.
"Could it be that people from this era all lived peacefully? They all helped each other, without struggle or slaughter?"
Long Chen couldn't help but feel some yearning towards what was depicted. Of the murals, there was one with people doing manual labor together, there was one with people facing off against a ferocious beast, there was one with a child running around playfully, and there was one with a delightful celebration.
There was no slaughter or wars. These images caused the entire tomb to be filled with an auspicious air.
That was incomprehensible. Was this supposed to mean that the tomb owner's death was something worth rejoicing? These drawings were in celebration of the owner's passing?
Why were the murals so peaceful down here, without any depictions of struggle, but then the outside was filled with terrifying mechanisms?
Long Chen couldn't figure it out. But in any case, the main characters in these images had no meaning to him. Instead, he was deeply attracted to what he saw in the backgrounds of all four murals.
The contents of the four murals were different, but their backgrounds were the same. Up in the sky, there were nine small stars revolving around one large star, lighting up the entire world.
That large star wasn't like the sun, nor was it like the moon. It was extremely strange. But the background was also extremely harmonious, a scene that caused people to feel comfortable.
As for Long Chen, when he saw those nine stars revolving around the large star, he always felt some kind of familiarity, as well as a trace of grief.
