The most horrifying thing is not Uncle Zhong’s purple complexion, but the dense steel needles on his body!
These steel needles, as thick as a baby's little finger, pierced Uncle Zhong's skin and were densely spread all over his body. They were living targets. Uncle Zhong's skin instantly turned blue and purple. It was obvious that the steel needles were smeared with poison. Poor guy.
Uncle Zhong had tried all his best, but he ended up like this. He had been flattering him in every possible way since just now, just to get to the secret room and get in first. He thought that his wish had been fulfilled, but he had already met his end - a sudden death!
Qu Yan withdrew: "There is a mechanism inside."
The young man's legs softened and he sat down on the ground. He began to speak loudly: "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong is dead too..."
"It seems you are the only one left." Bai Moxuan said thoughtfully, "Isn't that right?"
It's okay not to mention it. But when he mentioned it, the young man cried bitterly, with tears and snot falling from his nose. He was so frightened that Bai Moxuan hated to see a man act like a coward, so he stepped forward and kicked him: "From now on, you dare to drop a drop.
Tears, I will throw you in immediately."
Looking at the mysterious secret room in front of him, the young man took a big breath and stopped his tears. He took a big breath and knocked his head on the ground repeatedly: "I beg you, don't let me go in, I don't want to die."
, I don’t want to die, I’ve never left the desert.”
Qu Yan and Ying Ning looked at each other. When they came here, a close connection like fate emerged spontaneously. Ying Ning felt that her heart was slowly accelerating. Her hands tightened on the clothes on her chest. Why, her heart
Can it jump so fast?
"What else do you know? You must tell me as soon as possible." Bai Moxuan approached the young man: "Remember, focus on the key points and don't talk nonsense. Whether you can save your own life depends on you."
The young man was at a loss for words and had so many things to talk about that he didn't know where to start. Qu Yan reminded: "Let's start with why you are staying here."
"I, I have been staying in the desert since I was born. My father was also a member of the guard, but he has passed away. I once heard him say that we stayed here to protect the secret room." The young man's mind was in a mess, and he
Try to calm yourself down. The handsome man in front of you doesn't look threatening. He is still holding his head up and may roll to the ground at any time!
"Continue." Bai Moxuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It was the Yuezhi King's idea that the Yuezhi Palace was buried in the sand, that is, he was the last Yuezhi King." The young man tried his best to organize his words: "Yan Gaozhen, the great Yuezhi King."
"Is it him?" The information about this person immediately came to Subei's mind. Yan Gaozhen, known in history as Kadfiz II. The third monarch of the Kushan Dynasty, an ancient powerful country in Central Asia, reigned for a total of 22 years.
"Gao Zhen" has the characteristic that Mongolian names end with a true sound, and Yan Gao is A Gu, which means elder brother or prince in Tungus-Manchu.
During Yan Gaozhen's time, the Kushan Empire invaded the south and its power surged, forming a huge empire in Central Asia. The culture of the Yuezhi people also began to be Indianized. After Yan Gaozhen's death, the empire fell into chaos and strife, and the Kushan Dynasty officially ushered in
When the end came, although a small Yuezhi king rose up, he was not recognized by the Yuezhi people. In their hearts, the real Yuezhi dynasty had ended, and Yan Gaozhen was their last Yuezhi king.
When the matter returned to King Yuezhi, it turned out to be much simpler. Qu Yan clenched his fists and said, "Continue talking."
"Back then, the sand was directly attracted and flooded the entire palace. The strange thing is that the palace actually maintained an independent existence and was not affected by the sand. It is said that this was all the result of this secret room." The young man wiped his forehead.
Khan, his eyes glanced at Uncle Zhong's body in the secret room from time to time: "The guards who were responsible for this matter have remained, and together with their descendants, they have continued to this day."
"Why bury the palace? Wouldn't it be better to burn it on fire?" Subai was puzzled: "If it is to preserve the secret room, and there is no way to open the secret room without two pieces of blood tassel, is this unnecessary?
?”
"I don't know what my ancestors think." The young man said with a cry: "This is what my father told me. It happened many years ago. I was wronged..."
Bai Moxuan coughed: "Have you forgotten what I said?"
If he cried again, he would be thrown in. The young man stopped quickly, took a deep breath and continued to report: "After the palace was buried, all the members of the guard went underground and lived here. However, their parents, wives and daughters were buried.
Sent away, leaving only his son. In order to carry on the family line, every
When a man comes of age, a woman will be brought from outside. After giving birth...if a son is born, the son will be kept, and the mother will be buried alive. If it is a daughter, then...the mother and daughter will be buried alive together.
, we will never leave anyone alive, this is how we survive from generation to generation..."
"It's so cruel. Those girls used to live a good life outside. If you didn't find them, they could get married and have children like normal people. Tea, rice, oil and salt may be ordinary, but they won't ruin their lives. How could you?
Do this?" Cui Ying's chest heaved up and down, and she couldn't help herself with her anger: "You bastards, I should let you taste the feeling of being buried alive!"
"No, no, I still have a lot of things to tell you." This guy was afraid that Cui Ying would kill him, so he actually shouted at Cui Ying: "Let me go, let me go."
Before Cui Ying could react, he drank again towards Qu Yan: "Young Master, Young Master, we don't have many descendants of the Yuezhi Kingdom anymore. I am also a descendant of the Guards. Just let me go. I
I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I’m different from Uncle Zhong, I just want to live..."
"If you keep biting your head, you will really be dead." Qu Yan said: "Stop talking nonsense and continue the previous topic."
"I, where did I say before?" He was so frightened that he had long forgotten what he had said before.
Cui Ying said angrily: "Speaking of the fact that the descendants of the Guard killed innocent people indiscriminately in order to carry on the family line."
"My mother was also buried alive." The young man's tears suddenly rolled out: "Do you think we are all cold-blooded animals? Our birth was a joke from the beginning. No one has ever asked us how we feel. But, we
We have been indoctrinated with ideas that are different from yours since we were born. We stay here out of responsibility and to protect the source of King Yuezhi's power. We are useful people!"
People with different stances are enemies, even if the other party is good-natured. This is the helpless place where all conflicts break out. From each other's point of view, the other party is the enemy. At this moment, the eight people were silent. Is the young man in front of me a good person or a bad person?
?There was no way to draw a conclusion at all, and Yingning even felt a little pitiful for him.
"The reason why the descendants of the Guard have been staying here is to wait for the revival of the Yuezhi Kingdom. One day, this magnificent Yuezhi King's Palace will reappear on the ground, and the luminous pearl symbolizing the national destiny of the Yuezhi Kingdom will shock the world.
." Perhaps because he had spoken out what was in his heart, the young man felt a lot more relaxed, and his tone became much more relaxed: "During the Tang Dynasty, I heard that it was our most promising time. Unfortunately, we did not succeed in the end until the young master was born.
, Mr. Weng formulated the entire plan, which allowed us to see the hope of returning to life on the ground."
Needless to say about the Tang Dynasty, Huo Xunsi gave up his country for Xue Xiang, but it ended tragically. Fortunately, he left his own bloodline Yingning. Thinking of this matter, Yingning asked curiously: "Those two pieces of blood
What happened to the Tassel?"
"The blood tassel stone has always been two pieces, one yin and one yang. Before the death of King Yuezhi, he passed them to his two sons, each of them had one piece. It is said that these two people passed the blood tassel stone from generation to generation. Only today did we know
, It turns out they are the key to the secret room." The young man said frustratedly.
"Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Tan Wujie and the Yuezhi, and what happened to those Bon believers?" Qu Yan grabbed the young man's collar: "Those who died in the desert are the Bon believers, right?
, why do they have copper coins with Sanskrit engraved on them?”
"You, you actually saw those corpses..." the young man said with a mournful face: "As you saw and guessed, those two people were Bon believers, and they came to Yuezhi Kingdom with Tan Wujie.
However, they and Tan Wujie were not together. They met on the road, and then came to Yuezhi together. Tan Wujie taught a lot of Indian Buddhist scriptures and then left, but the two people decided to stay.
Before leaving, take out the copper coins rewarded by King Yuezhi and give them as a souvenir. This is why they have copper coins on them. Those two people, by the way, I remembered. My father said that it was those two people.
They built a secret room by themselves. The secret room has existed since then! The blood tassel stone was also left behind by them. Originally, each of them had one!"
Bai Moxuan frowned. In this case, the relationship between the two Bon believers and the Yuezhi King was very close. But why did they appear in the desert after death, without coffins or burial clothes?
"How did those two people die?" When he mentioned the two male corpses, Liu Shangsheng became more energetic: "There are gourd-shaped marks on their bodies, just on the neck bones. What is that?"
"Gourd?" The young man's eyes suddenly widened, showing fear: "Then, is that the legendary instrument of torture! I, I have only heard about it, and have never seen it with my own eyes. I really don't know, I don't know.
"
Now things are finally clearer. At least the origin of this secret room and the blood tassel stone is roughly clear. The two Bon believers came to Yuezhi, built the secret room, and handed over the key to the secret room to the Yuezhi king, but something happened.
For some reason, these two people were killed by the Yuezhi King. No one knows the twists and turns. Perhaps, the reason can only be found by entering the secret room.
