If you take a few steps back and look at these stone pillars, you will find that although they look like pillars, they are not thick and short on the left side of the deserted sand. They are raised "outside" and the four pillars next to them are long and have similar distances. Although they have different shapes and different thicknesses, they are bent "in" without exception.

If you get closer and look at the material of the columns, you will find that they are not hard rocks, but rather like sandstone that has not been completely solidified after deposition.

I walked to the thick and short pillar and clenched it hard with my hands. I found that the surface was a layer of loose yellow sand. These sand particles should have been buried in the dunes and then stuck on it, so I fell to the ground with a little force.

I scratched a layer of sand and suddenly felt my nails "clicking" and it seemed like I had picked up something hard.

Is it really a stone under the sand?

I hurriedly snatched all the sand on the surface, and sure enough, I saw a piece of white thing exposed inside. The thing hit and made a clang sound, and it should be a stone.

However, this stone is thin and long, completely different from the hard earthy slabs around it, and it seems to be embedded in it.

This is actually a bit interesting.

As a person, when I encounter something new, I always want to understand. Today, when I see these strange stone pillars, I immediately became interested. The feeling of fatigue after the hardship just now and the feeling of desolation after being blown by the wind and sand became invisible.

I suddenly remembered that there was a bunch of keys in my backpack. I quickly took off my backpack, found the largest key, and then digged down along the edge of the slender white thing little by little.

The deeper the digging, the more the white thing becomes, but its shape makes people feel strange no matter how you look at it...

When the edge around the thing was completely cleared out from the "stone pillar" by me, I realized where the strange point was.

It is a bone, which looks like an adult's leg bone in shape and size.

What does this mean?

I carefully touched the pillar. Although it felt like it was a long time ago, it was by no means an object from the fossil era.

Could it be that when the water and grass were lush in ancient times, an unlucky guy accidentally fell into the river and turned into white bones after his death. Later, the geological movements, the soil was accumulated and solidified, and slowly evolved towards sandstone.

Later, the lake water turned into a desert, and the soil was eroded into columns by wind and sand. In the end, his remains were also left in the stone pillars?

But this seemingly reasonable inference was soon falsified, because when I scraped off more sand from the column, I found that there was not only a bone on it, but densely packed with bones arranged regularly.

And they are all neat and uniform leg bones!

Where do these leg bones come from? Are the owners of the leg bones that have been broken off and shaped on them? Are they dead or killed?

This is definitely not a bad luck guy who missed his feet, it was a massacre!

An inexplicable fear arose from the bottom of my heart. I rushed to several other stone pillars and cleaned the yellow sand on them one by one, only to find that they were exactly the same as the first one.

It is full of white bones, dense leg bones, which is enough to make people suffer from a intensive phobia.

What kind of monster is this? In what era did these things come up with! Why did they use human leg bones to shape these stone pillars?

My head was in chaos, I took a few steps back and sat on the sand.

The vast yellow sand can cover up everything on the ground, but it cannot bury the evil thoughts in people's hearts.

These pillars are probably what Hua Yan calls "strange things". Even after a hundred years and a thousand years, she can still notice that evil things have happened here.

However, looking at these pillars from a further perspective, you will find that they appear more and more evil.

I looked at it for a long time and suddenly realized that these were not a few pillars!

This is a palm!

The short and thick pillar is the thumb, and the other four pillars are the four slightly bent fingers.

The shape they are arranged is like a slightly raised Five Finger Mountain!

This is a clay sculpture's palm, and the clay tire is its body shape! Those white bones are more like "muscles" embedded in it!

And I am now sitting in the palm of this demonic clutch full of white bones!

If a palm is so huge, what kind of behemoth is buried under the sand dunes?

I finally understood why after the wind and sand, the highest point of the dune is always here. Because there must be a huge statue under this dune, and the yellow sand is just piled up on it.

What kind of giant monster is this? Who would spend a lot of manpower and material resources to make such a large statue for it?

I suddenly recalled a passage of text

"Xiye...the evil country is also..."

This is the record in the booklet given to me by the visitor from Hell. It is a document from the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty that archaeologists in the Republic of China crossed the story of the ancient temple of Kucha!

In the early years of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Chai Zhewei, the Anxi guardian of the Tang Dynasty, received news that the West Ye Kingdom believed in the demonic religion and plundered and killed merchants on the Silk Road.

Chai Zhewei then summoned troops from the Western Regions to attack Xiye, but after siege for a night, he found that tens of thousands of people in Hujiangu, the capital of Xiye Kingdom, disappeared!

You know, at that time, the surrounding Xiye Kingdom had been eroded by the long desert.

Moreover, in the early Tang Dynasty, the military system was strict, and even if they gathered the power of the Protectorate to besiege a small country, they must have absolutely certainty to trap the small city and not allow one person to escape from the city, let alone more than 10,000 people in the entire city.

Could it be that this statue is the last remains of the people of Xiye? Could it be that under this dune is the ruins of Xiye Kingdom that Wen Mushan and the others once discovered and then disappeared inexplicably?

Shen Yu and I came to Yecheng this time to explore the bizarre disappearance of the Xiye Kingdom archaeological team many years ago. But who knew that Hua Yan and I decided to spend the night in the desert, and because of our actions too hasty, we lost our direction.

However, it is really a blessing to lose his horse!

By chance, Hua Yan and I found the suspected ruins of Xiye Kingdom!

But when you think about it seriously, this is not a coincidence.

At that time, I asked Hua Yan to choose an oasis and prepare to live with Shen Yu for a temporary residence today. She jumped into the air to find a suitable place. That is, when she looked down at the high altitude, she noticed that "there is something strange" here.

So she took us and chose an oasis quite close to here, and then put down the trees as instructions.

Hua Yan didn't know about Xiye Kingdom, she just should be interested in this place. For her, she has been lingering in the world these days and has already known human food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Wei Yang has had frequent strange events recently, but for her new arrival, it doesn’t look like any strange things, because everything in the world is novel in her eyes, and there is no distinction between them.
