Chapter 436 Reproduction of the West Night Ruins
What can alarm Hua Yan is the "pair of eyes" she felt in Wei Yang some time ago.
"I always feel like I'm staring at me, and it feels weird." She once said to me.
Moreover, this dune with a huge statue was the second place she felt "weird". The first "weird" had not been found yet, and the second "weird" had been discovered.
At this time, the wind had stopped. I walked around the dunes. Because the sand was too thick, I found no other remains except these five fingers.
Now that things have come, there will be no progress here. The best choice is to go back to the Oasis and discuss the next plan with Chen Yu.
But I said just now that when I set off, I only "marked" a "virtual point" on the sky where I went. I was very motivated and did not remember the location of the oasis in a hurry.
But after all this trouble, I suddenly thought of a solution.
I just started from the oasis and moved along that "virtual point". Now I just need to find the "virtual point" and then go in the opposite direction. Wouldn't I go back to my original place?!
I scolded myself for being stupid and having no turning point! Thinking of this, I quickly looked up at the sky. Thanks to my amazing memory, I looked up and saw that the "virtual point" in my mind was still far away from the sky.
After a baptism of wind and sand just now, I couldn't tell whether the point marked out of thin air was right or wrong, but now I don't have time to think about it anymore, so I can only try to find it first.
I took out my cell phone and wanted to record the latitude and longitude positioning here, but what is frustrating is that the positioning here is still displayed in the village in Lanzhou.
Well, Hualian can feel this place anyway, and even if the sand dunes disappear, that oasis will not die, and the elm tree that Hualian knocked down on the oasis will not disappear. As long as these signs are there, we will always find this place again.
The plan was decided, so I walked down the dune, then turned around and set the "virtual point" direction, and then walked in the opposite direction.
After a huge storm, the way I came was already very different from that in the morning. This strong wind brought more sand, which accumulated on the road, forming many hills dozens of meters high.
It was already very difficult to walk when I came, but I didn’t expect that the road back would be even more difficult. Although climbing a small sand dune is not difficult, climbing dozens of small sand dunes can kill people. Moreover, I have to stop while walking and turn around to confirm the direction I am moving forward.
However, although I was physically exhausted, I was full of energy.
Although this desert trip started with a wrong decision, I didn’t expect to get unexpected gains.
Xiye Kingdom, a small Western Region country that has disappeared for more than 1,300 years in history, is a place that brings together all kinds of strange things and strange talks recently. I didn't expect that it appeared in front of me unexpectedly.
The booklets of visitors from Hell, the archaeological team of Wen Mushan, and the mysterious DNA of the scapegoat seem to have a great relationship with this ancient country and this area.
Not only that, in fact, the origin of the Sarekole people seems to be not far from here. After all, according to their memories, these people were taken away by their "master" when they were young. They did not take long to cross the Sarekole Ridge and go outside the border.
If you don’t consider mountains, rivers and rivers, and draw a straight line from Yecheng, then it will not be so far away from Sarekole Ridge.
However, if you study it carefully, you will find that there is a tall Kunlun Mountain between Yecheng and Sarekolle Ridge, and the Takton Bus Pamir, one of the "Eight Pas", which makes it difficult to climb straight to the sky.
But even so, the ancestral home of the Sarekole people should be not far from here.
These events seem to be isolated, but when countless isolated events gather together, it is by no means accidental.
As I thought and walked forward, what was still lingering in my mind was the dense white bones on my fingers.
No wonder the Tang Dynasty people regarded Xiye's eyes as a country of evil demons. If this small country that kills people is not possessed by the devil's way, how could it be destroyed so far!
In fact, the history of a country that kills people is not without its existence.
The first well-documented dynasty in Chinese history was a country that committed murder as a major event. Large-scale human sacrifice also began with the Shang Dynasty.
If you visit Yinxu, you will walk through a layer of Shang Dynasty cemetery covered with glass plates. Through the glass plates, you will find that the bottom is covered with human bones.
The Shang Dynasty regarded prisoners of war and slaves as livestock, but their actual status was not even as good as livestock. The merchants admired ghosts, and they believed that the souls of their ancestors were the souls of their ancestors. In order to sacrifice, they needed to slaughter creatures to contribute blood and food to the ghosts of their ancestors.
They killed and sacrificed animals, and they actually used very few livestock, but they used many people to sacrifice. Just one Shang King Wu Ding, who had evidenced more than 9,000 murders.
You should know that the total population in the early Shang Dynasty was only 80 to 2 million.
These people were preserved in full, some were with carriages and horses, some were holding spears in their hands, some were curled up in pain, and some were jars and jars.
Some Yinxu archaeologists said that they are most afraid of digging out red pots.
Because it is a container for children's sacrifices. As long as you open the red jar, you will find that the child's corpses are all inside.
In 1984, a bronze ingredient was unearthed in Yinxu. This was a container used by merchants to cook things, and the shape was similar to our current small steamer.
They were surprised to find that there was something stuffed in the pot, and it was a human head.
Initially, archaeological experts also believed that this was accidentally dropped a person's head in the pot during a sacrifice.
Please, what do you do when you hold a human head and shake it around during sacrifice? That is a human head, not a pig head. What does it mean to fall from the pot?
Later in 1999, another bronze ingot was unearthed in Yinxu. They found that there was still a human head lying inside this time! Now the experts were convinced. It turned out that cooking human heads was also a kind of sacrificial product.
Experts didn't say it, but we can actually infer that it was just to cook human heads to worship ancestors?
Since they treat people as animals, won’t they eat people like animals?
Experts also specifically conducted isotope tests on the heads in the second bronze ingredient. Based on history, they inferred that the heads should be from Anhui.
So, we can also say that more than three thousand years ago, some Henan people chopped off the head of an Anhui person and cooked a full pot of human head soup to dedicate it to their ancestors.
Some people infer that the reason why the Shang Dynasty perished was because it was too cruel and did not take care of others' lives.
Therefore, when King Wu attacked Zhou, the princes Jing Cong, and the slaves in the Battle of Muye also fought back. King Zhou finally burned himself to death, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed.
