Chapter 65: Loulan God of War

This sentence "the god of Loulan" was an understatement, but He Manzhou's eyes turned slightly, and he quickly felt that something was wrong.

But anyone who has studied history knows that the ancient Western Regions was the fortress of exchanges between the East and the West, and Loulan was the name of a small ancient country in western China. According to the records of the "Historical Records: The Biography of Dawan Lie" and the "Biography of the Western Regions of the Han Book", as early as the 2nd century, Loulan was the famous "country of the city" in the Western Regions. It leads to Dunhuang in the east, to Yanqi and Yuli in the northwest, to Ruoqiang in the southwest, and at the end, the ancient "Silk Road" south and north two roads are separated from Loulan, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first passes through the Western Regions, the envoys must pass through Loulan.

The Silk Road is like a bridge connecting the culture and economy of the East and the West, and Loulan was once prosperous, such as shamanism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism, Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, and Orthodox Christianity, all of which have left records in the ancient kingdom of Loulan. He Manzhou also has a father who is a professor of history, and he is also running a private museum, and the objects of various dynasties can be said to be honest when they are taken out, whether it is screening or tasting, and these things are known.

But she tossed and turned and remembered carefully, and she didn't expect such a god.

"Hey, Bai Yicong, you and I haven't studied history, you dare to say anything in front of me, and you're not afraid that I will expose your shortcomings? Let me tell you, my dad is a professor of history at Z University, and our He family has been intellectuals for several generations. But I know no less than you about the ancient kingdom of Loulan, don't fool me?"

"Why should I fool you?" Facing He Manzhou's indignant gaze, Bai Yicong said lightly, "You ask, I answer, this is the god of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, is there a problem with this sentence?"

"Although there are not many records about the ancient kingdom of Loulan, but don't the history books say that the ancient kingdom of Loulan believed in Theravada Buddhism? I have learned Tang history very well, and we still have several jade Buddha heads and green Tara and white Tara portraits in the Tianwentang Museum, even if I can't see what kind of Dharma this is, I know that this is not the Dharma of Buddhism, right?"

"Your eyesight is good, and this is really not a Buddhist dharma. Bai Yi never answered directly, but said unhurriedly, "If it's just those religions you've heard of, most of them all believe in men and women, cultivate this life for the next life, and pay attention to a cycle of cause and effect, which one is seeking eternal life?"

Although He Manzhou likes to gag, especially in the face of Bai Yicong, he is in the mood to deliberately raise the bar, and tease him with a few words when he has nothing to do, and he is known as exchanging feelings, promoting their mutual acceptance and mutual understanding, developing more pink bubbles as soon as possible, and turning direct partners into lovers.

After all, at the beginning of people's interactions, many feelings are chatted, and the highest etiquette in the process of getting along is that one is willing to talk and one is willing to listen, and there is something to talk about all the time. But He Manzhou is not stupid, nor is she unable to distinguish priorities, on the contrary, she is quite sober, no matter how much she is blinded by beauty, she has not forgotten what the real purpose of this trip is.

At such a critical moment, she thought about Bai Yicong's words and soon knew what he meant.

"You mean, it's enshrined in this ancient temple...... Actually, it's an evil god?"

"Or what do you think that Babel Tower does?"

Bai Yicong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was precipitated with unclear emotions, so that his expression was almost sharp.

Two long white candles flickered in the night wind, the ruins everywhere revealed a strange sense of dilapidation, and the shadowy light outlined Bai Yicong's outline, his originally handsome and cold face showed a deeper mystery than usual under the strange light and shadow, as if shrouded in mist.

As he said at this moment, it was unpredictable.

At any other time, or for anyone else, He Manzhou would only feel that this person was talking nonsense, and he would definitely wait for a hundred sentences, and his mother would not know him if he refuted it. But when these words came out of Bai Yicong, there was inexplicably a little more mysterious.

The Tower of Babel is also called the Tower of Babel, Babel means "chaos", it has been recorded in the Bible, people built the Tower of Babel in order to rebel against God, but God deprived them of a common language, and the small city they lived in was called Babel, and the so-called Tower of Babel was actually just a ridiculous farce for people. ”

"Wait, Bai Yicong, aren't we investigating the ancient kingdom of Loulan, what kind of Bible are you talking to me, a treasure or a combination of Chinese and Western borderlessness?" He Manzhou heard it in a fog, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Seriously, just now you said that because of this Tower of Babel, we can successfully find this ancient temple, I can't understand it...... What the hell is going on with this Tower of Babel, and why do I think what you are saying is like a ridiculous farce?"

Bai Yicong turned his head slightly from the side, and just met He Manzhou's big clear eyes,

The doubts in the girl's eyes were just right, and there was a little coquettishness, she didn't even hide her suspicions, and asked Bai Yicong silently, "What kind of pig are you talking about, are you really not lying to the little fool, teasing me", it is clearly an obvious question, but it looks a little cute.

Boss Bai has read countless people, and he has seen all kinds of ruthless characters, but he really has never seen the type of He Manzhou, even if they have been together for so long, they still feel very fresh.

I don't know where He Manzhou learned his skills, he always says an ordinary sentence as stand-up comedy, and it is obviously a pole lift, but it is not annoying at all when she says it, and Bai Yicong has a little patience to continue to explain.

"If you don't understand, then I can make it clearer. There is a mysterious bloodline in Guloulan, they do not believe in gods and Buddhas, but have their own offerings, this lineage is called witches. Bai Yicong's fingers lightly brushed over the gravel, and he opened his mouth unhurriedly, "The Loulan witch believes that the goddess has a spirit and blesses the entire ancient country of Loulan, as long as she gets the gift of the goddess, she can get the inheritance left by the gods." And the bond left by the goddess in the world is the line of the shrine maiden, and only the purest bloodline can communicate with the gods, decipher the lost language, and find the key to unlock the gift of the goddess. ”

"Communicate with God......" He Manzhou repeated in a low voice.

She is well versed in Bai Yicong's character, and knows that he is not the kind of person who can talk nonsense, no matter how well-informed he is, he will not use these as bragging capital. Just like when he talked about the Tower of Babel just now, it was definitely not to prove that he had read the Bible, knew this period of history, and could casually take it out and talk about it, but it must have a deep meaning.

He Manzhou reasoned and analyzed his words a little, and said uncertainly: "So the bond you are talking about has anything to do with this Tower of Babel that I don't know when it will appear?"

"Yes, the Tower of Babel can connect the world and the gods, and it is precisely because the language of the gods is not shared that it is necessary to resort to some kind of medium to fulfill this communication. In order to be able to connect with the gods, the shrine maiden will select the girl with the purest blood and cultivate it from an early age. Since childhood, they have received special training, enjoy extremely noble status, and have the highest level of food and clothing, these girls are no different from royal princesses, and are respected by people as saints. ”

"Doesn't that sound cool," He Manzhou didn't question Bai Yicong's news channels and whether this extremely unbelievable-sounding legend was true or false, but thought about it quite empathetically, "What is it, blood advantage, civilian princess?"

Bai Yi never directly answered He Manzhou's words, but only asked a rhetorical question meaninglessly.

"Pigs and sheep that are carefully raised are not pigs and sheep?"

"No, what do you mean by that?" He Manzhou asked, "Didn't you just say that their status is quite noble, no different from princesses, why do you actually use pigs and sheep to describe them?"

"Communication with the gods is a sacrifice in itself, and the so-called saints are just another kind of sacrifice. ”

He Manzhou couldn't understand or answer this question, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The feeling was ethereal, churning in her heart for no apparent reason, as if she was paying tribute to something, so much so that she felt that the conversation was getting stranger and stranger now.

The ancient kingdom of Loulan itself hides countless secrets, and the once prosperous ancient kingdom is completely buried in the yellow sand, leaving only the mystery that the world has not solved so far. No one can say clearly what is going on with those lost civilizations that cannot be fathomed to the edge, just like how the past, which has been buried in the long river of history, has dissipated, and it can only be ignored. Even experts and scholars have not been able to investigate the reason for many years, and these have gradually become unsolved mysteries, which have been curious and speculated by countless people, but there has never been any conclusion.

Since there is no record in the historical materials, everyone is blind and knows only half of it, so why does Bai Yicong know these unbelievable things? He Manzhou thought like this, and his eyes couldn't help but peek towards Boss Bai's body, as if he wanted to distinguish something from the changes in his trivial expressions, and then distinguish the truth from the falsehood in his words.

But Miss He's micro-expression analysis is too poor, and Bai Yicong is too perceptive, and her casual emotional changes are quickly noticed. So much so that He Manzhou hadn't seen through Bai Yicong's thoughts, but instead showed no points left in his small emotions, and was completely beaten by others.

As if seeing He Manzhou's doubts, Bai Yi never added quietly.

"What, suspect I'm lying to you?"

"I ..... How can it, what kind of friendship is the two of us, I doubt that no one will doubt you. He Manzhou didn't think about it, so he responded in a muffled voice. However, she soon felt that since Bai Yicong gave the steps, it was better to take the opportunity to ask clearly, rather than guessing and thinking by herself.

So before the voice of the previous sentence completely fell, she considered her tone and squeezed out another slap in the face to speak.

"But...... What you said is so mysterious, it's really too bluffing, I don't have much reading in my village, and I don't understand these gods and gods babbling, you can't lie to me. ”

When asking this sentence, He Manzhou originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't really get an accurate answer.

After all, referring to Bai Yicong's consistent behavior, it would be good to ask him ten questions to answer seriously, and the rest of the Bao Zhun Er would talk about him left and right. Even if you answer the question, you will be ridiculed a few times, which has become the norm.

Who knows that Bai Yicong has rarely sold off this time.

He sighed inexplicably, and directly gave He Manzhou the answer he wanted, "These things have passed for too long, and no one can tell what kind of records have existed." The reason why I know this is because the treasure of the relict king kept by the Bai family has given a glimpse of the secret of the god of war of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”
