Dahu gradually got used to what he said. Others couldn't understand him and just shook his head to express that he didn't know anything.
Fan Bochang and several others dug out the low-lying bones buried in the sand, and found a human skeleton of normal size. Except for the relatively large head, the hands and feet were particularly huge. Judging from the skeleton's frame, the legs and arms were short and thick.
When the bones were dug out, they found that the sand was lowered to reveal metal objects, and what they dug out was a strange hammer.
The handle of the hammer is short and thick, but the head of the hammer is extremely huge. The entire hammer is made of pure metal and weighs hundreds of kilograms. This is not something that ordinary people can carry, let alone use this hammer to fight and kill people.
Combined with the shape of the skeleton, everyone looked at each other, feeling that they had arrived in a time that had never been explored before.
Sun Yuexing squatted down and looked at the hammer head, "I wish we could have such advanced forging skills in ancient times."
According to the historical records they read, before the smelting technology was fully mature, any metal was extremely expensive. Therefore, except for the murder weapon, which was made of metal, the handle was made of bamboo. It was even crude enough to be sharpened with a harder stone.
Into stick shape.
Even now that smelting technology is mature enough, spending hundreds of kilograms of metal, regardless of materials, skills, or manpower, is a particularly luxurious thing.
Xu Hui said with profound meaning: "It seems that there are many things in this world that have been submerged in the torrent of history and unknown to future generations. Ever since Emperor Qin burned the book."
After Zhang Lingluo studied the hammer head, she said: "This style should be a barbarian hammer, from the period of Zhuanxu to Chengtang."
Sun Yuexing said: "The Yi hammers of this period did not have such an integrated handle, and the metal was also scarce."
Zhang Lingluo said profoundly: "It is still unknown who the origin is."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This period was more than 2,000 years ago and nearly 3,000 years ago. If it was even more ancient than this, wouldn't it be another period of history that has not been recorded?
But the facts are before our eyes. This man's skeleton is unique, and this hammer weighing hundreds of kilograms is really amazing.
Someone asked: "Is this man an ordinary soldier or a general?"
"Of course he's a general. If an ordinary soldier could lift a hammer weighing several hundred kilograms, what kind of army would it be?"
Zhang Lingluo, who was squatting down to study the skeleton, suddenly said: "He committed suicide!"
Suicide? This statement makes it a bit weirder.
Fortunately, since entering the Immortal and Demonic Array, they have become accustomed to strange things and are just wary.
Fan Bo often said loudly: "Let's go."
As we got closer, the outline of this huge building gradually became clearer. It was a tall and majestic ancient castle, like the ruins of an ancient dynasty.
More and more skeletons appeared on the sand. When they arrived in front of the ancient castle, the ground was filled with bones and skeletons, spread all over the periphery of the ancient castle. The sheer number and scope were breathtaking.
Obviously this was once an ancient and primitive battlefield, where thousands or even tens of thousands of people fought in battles.
Skeletons vary in size, like the first human skeleton discovered, which can be seen here at any time, and hammer heads weighing several hundred kilograms can also be seen everywhere.
They also revealed their doubts just now, that man was just an ordinary soldier.
This answer also makes people secretly feel heartbroken. What kind of army is this? Now, having such an army is enough to sweep the world and be invincible.
What kind of army is this army fighting? The scene is so tragic and the casualties are so heavy.
Zhang Lingluo looked at the sand still scattered on the walls of the ancient castle.
Bei Gengyun asked: "Xuannu, did you find anything?"
"This castle has always been buried in the ground, and it was only exposed during the storm just now."
As Zhang Lingluo spoke, she pointed at the wall where sand was still falling, like a newly unearthed antiquity, with traces of dust on the surface.
Bei Gengyun responded with a sigh, stared at the ancient castle and said, "I wonder who lived in this castle?"
Zhang Lingluo said: "You should ask, what civilization once lived in this castle?"
Then he murmured to himself: "What a coincidence."
"Xuan Nu, what's the coincidence?"
"It's such a coincidence that this sandstorm came, and it's also a coincidence that the castle ruins were exposed at this time."
"Xuannu, what do you mean?"
"I feel like there is some force controlling all of this. If it weren't for this sandstorm, we wouldn't have stayed here."
"Xuannu, do you mean we leave here right away?"
Zhang Lingluo said: "If our Taoist ancestors have set foot in this place, the Heavenly Master's Order will be left here. Wouldn't it be a mistake for us to leave. No matter what, let's enter the castle first to find out what's going on."
Just then Fan Bochang's voice came: "Xuannu, come and take a look."
Fan Bochang once vowed not to kill Zhang Lingluo, but now he took the initiative to ask Zhang Lingluo for advice. This shows that his mind has completely changed towards Zhang Lingluo, and Zhang Lingluo is invisibly taking the lead.
When Zhang Lingluo came, Fan Bochang pointed to the two corpses entangled on the ground and said: "They killed each other. I just did a patrol. Situations like this are not uncommon."
Bei Gengyun said: "What's so strange about this? Apparently there was a battle here."
Zhang Lingluo said: "Elder Zuo, you didn't understand what Elder Fan said. Elder Fan said they killed each other."
Fan Bo often nodded: "Xuannu is really wise. I made this judgment just now after careful investigation."
Bei Gengyun was surprised and said: "Why do you say this?"
Zhang Lingluo pointed at the two of them: "With the same body and the same weapons, it is obvious that they are not enemies, but companions."
Bei Gengyun was slightly startled, feeling more and more weird about this place. Fan Bo often asked: "Xuan Nu, could it be a rebellion?"
Zhang Lingluo remained silent, but walked along the bones and looked at them. From time to time she would squat down to check, but she didn't say a word.
There were really no other places for bones to settle on the ground, and the broken bones made crisp crunching sounds from time to time.
Zhang Lingluo finally stopped and expressed her opinion: "In addition to killing each other, there are also many suicides."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bei Gengyun asked: "Why do they do this?"
Zhang Lingluo asked back: "Elder Zuo, what do you think?"
Bei Gengyun muttered: "Unless they are crazy."
Zhang Lingluo hummed: "This is a possibility, and other reasons cannot be ruled out."
Xu Hui asked: "What other reasons could there be?"
As the great elder of Tianzong, Xu Huijing also had to ask a young lady everywhere, because Zhang Lingluo's performance since entering the Immortal and Demonic Formation has impressed people.
Zhang Lingluo smiled bitterly: "Elder Xu, I am not a god."
Then he added: "Moreover, there has been more than one battlefield here, and more than one group of people have come here."
These words seemed to remind Fan Bochang and Xu Hui, and they started walking around again to observe the skeletons.
After a while, Fan Bochang returned first, looking as if he had made some important discovery.
"This is not a battle between different races, but the same group of people are killing each other every time."
Xu Hui also came over and said: "It's so weird! It's so weird! Why do people who come here kill each other?"
Bei Gengyun said bluntly: "Does it mean that we will also kill each other?"
Everyone looked stern when these words came out. If this was the case, it would be more terrifying than facing a powerful enemy.
After a moment of silence, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Lingluo, hoping that she would come up with an idea.
Zhang Lingluo pondered: "There are many reasons that can cause people to become confused and crazy, including water, plants, and air. So after we enter the castle, don't drink water or touch any weird things."
Everyone felt lucky to have made this discovery through careful observation, but at the same time they felt sad. If they could build a castle here, it must be a place rich in water. They had been thirsty for a day.
Xu Hui responded readily: "No problem!" Then he loudly ordered: "Tianzong disciples, listen, after entering this castle, do not approach the water source, and do not come into contact with any weird things."
Fan Bochang also passed on this decision. It was a matter of life and death and could not be ignored.
Bei Gengyun asked a cruel question: "What if it is air?"
Zhang Lingluo smiled lightly and said, "Then we'll stop here." Since Xie Fu's death, she has no fear of death.
It seems that no matter what, I have to spend the night here tonight.
Before it got completely dark, everyone jumped onto the wall.
Standing on the high point of the wall and looking around, everyone was shocked. This was not just a castle, but a huge ancient capital with houses and buildings all over the place, spanning three thousand feet from east to west, north to south.
It was larger and more magnificent than imagined. The castle they had just seen was only a small part of it. Most of the buildings were hidden among the yellow earthy ridges.
From these densely packed buildings, you can imagine how prosperous this place was in ancient times, with at least hundreds of thousands of people living here.
A place where hundreds of thousands of people can live is naturally rich in water and grass. What caused this capital city to be destroyed, buried deep under the sand, and submerged in the torrent of history.
In fact, in the Western Regions, dynasty ruins like this are not uncommon. Most of them have become ruins in wars and historical storms. There are almost no dynasty ruins that are well preserved like this.
Fan Bo often pointed to a taller and majestic building group in the distance: "Xuannu, look."
There are towering spires, various square and circular pillars standing there, and huge buildings similar to palaces. It is obvious that this is the core of this dynasty, and such places are often where the royal palace is located.
Zhang Lingluo said: "That should be where the palace is. Let's search separately and meet at the palace before dark."
Because the entire capital city is built according to the mountains, most of the houses are built on the solid rocks on the ridges, winding up and down. These houses are also similar to cave dwellings in Shaanxi. Obviously these rooms should be where ordinary people live.
.
There are not many spacious and flat places. This type of area has spacious streets and taller houses distributed on both sides of the streets. This should be an ancient market and an area where rich people lived together.
