Chapter 43: A War of Tens of Thousands of People Can Be Called Epic?
"According to what I interpreted, as well as my years of archaeological experience, it is inferred that this nine-story demon tower is not a tomb, but a sacrificial tower built by the Absolute Queen, or it can also be called an execution ground......"
Professor Chen's face was solemn, and he explained in a low voice while interpreting the patterns and symbols.
"Most of the enemies who oppose her will be sent here to die.
The king lying in front of us now must be the king of an ancient Western Regions country that she wiped out.
On the lower floors, there are generals, nobles, warriors, and commoners...... Wait a minute.
This tower has a lot of ghost cave inscriptions, as well as some ancient sacrificial symbols. According to this arrangement, it is obvious that the Absolute Queen's intention is that she wants the souls of these death row prisoners to guard this place.
Why do you want to keep this place?
You see, here's a line, and according to my interpretation, this should be the underground river we saw earlier: the Zdudark River.
The Zidu Dark River originates from the Kunlun Glacier and is a dark river formed by the melting of the snow here.
And this dark river leads all the way to ......"
Professor Chen's hand traced along a line, and finally stopped on a few ghost cave characters, and said excitedly: "The ...... leads to the Exquisite Ancient City."
Fluttershy exclaimed, "Oh my God! If the Dark River really leads to the Exquisite Ancient City, then we can find the Exquisite Ancient City if we keep following the Dark River? ”
Hu Bayi shook his head, "Fluttershy, you're thinking too simply. Since it's a dark river, how do you follow it? It's likely that after a while, it will disappear and go underground. ”
"Yes!" Professor Chen nodded: "There is another problem, after so many years, it is very likely that the dark river will be diverted.
But that's not the point.
The key is that this place is most likely the source of the water source of the Exquisite Ancient City, so the Queen of Refinement attaches more importance to this place, so she will spend so much effort to build this nine-story demon tower to guard it.
Unfortunately, I can't decipher these ghost cave texts, otherwise I would have been able to get more information.
But no matter what, at least we can now be sure that the Absolute Ancient City did exist, and the Queen of the Absolute was not a legend, she really existed. ”
"As an expert, after your explanation, it can be regarded as solving a lot of doubts."
Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh.
Including Gao Xing, it can be regarded as a lot of clarification.
Before, he had only speculated that this nine-story demon tower was an existence similar to an altar, but now it was almost completely deciphered.
Although there is still some hidden information in these ghost cave inscriptions, it is thought that they are also some records, or content related to sacrifices.
"It's not in vain, it's not in vain!"
It can be seen that Professor Chen is quite excited, and his voice has been trembling when he speaks.
After all, he saw the legendary nine-story demon tower with his own eyes, and he also went up to the tower to confirm the existence of the Absolute Queen.
Because in some unearthed records, there are some records about the Absolute Queen.
In these accounts, the Queen of the Absolute is quite mysterious.
In addition to being known as the first beauty in the Western Regions, she also has supernatural abilities that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
For example, there is a magic in her eyes that can make a person disappear just by looking at them.
Of course, it is difficult to verify the truth or falsity of these accounts.
After all, the ancient Western Regions were different from the Central Plains, where the religious culture was quite strong, and some predictions, legends, and anecdotes were often recorded together as history, making it difficult for later generations to distinguish them.
That's pretty much it.
Professor Chen reluctantly got up and said, "Okay, let's go down, after a long time, I'm afraid that they will be worried about patriotism." If they accidentally break in, it's a big problem. ”
"Don't say it, I'm really worried that the fat man will sneak over without knowing whether he is alive or dead."
Hu Bayi added.
"Then let's go down quickly."
The five of them cautiously returned to the first floor and walked towards the passageway.
It wasn't until he turned the corner that Professor Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking a few steps, Fluttershy suddenly tilted her head and asked, "Professor Chen, I was wondering, is it possible that this nine-story demon tower was built by other countries in the Ancient Western Regions?"
After all, the Legend has it that the Ancient Essence Kingdom was very powerful, ruling over many vassal powers, and most of those vassal states were also using the Ghost Cave script. ”
Speaking of which, the Ancient Western Regions claimed to have thirty-six kingdoms.
In fact, most of these so-called countries are small and pitiful. A small city of only a few hundred people can call itself a country.
There is a city of two or three thousand people, and it can already be called a big city.
This was created by the circumstances of the time.
For another example, Westerners are proud of many so-called epic wars in the Middle Age.
In fact, it is just a war of tens of thousands of people.
But at that time, the sparsely populated war of tens of thousands of people was indeed large enough for the era of the West.
And in ancient China, the war of tens of thousands of people dared to be called an epic?
"Little dream, there is some truth in your thoughts. However, except for the Elite Country, it was impossible for the small countries in the Western Regions at that time to build a nine-story demon tower of this scale.
In addition, according to the content of my interpretation, as well as the speculation of various clues, it is almost certain that this nine-story demon tower was built by the order of the Absolute Queen. ”
"Oh, got it!" Fluttershy nods.
"Hehe, this girl is studious, worthy of praise." Gao Xing takes the opportunity to pat Fluttershy on the head.
"Nasty!"
Fluttershy rolls her eyes.
Soon after, the five returned to the Dark River.
"Teacher, how's it going?"
As soon as he saw the figure, Hao Aiguo couldn't wait to come over and ask.
"Don't worry, you all sit down and get ready to take notes."
As an expert and scholar, I can't forget to give a lesson to my students at any time.
When Hao Aiguo and the others were ready, Professor Chen began to slowly talk about what he had just seen......
"Oh my God, that's amazing...... Professor Chen, could this have been built by aliens? ”
Sadipeng's thoughts are always wild, and he is involved in aliens.
Hao Aiguo glared at him dissatisfied: "Xiao Sa, don't talk nonsense, we archaeologists must be down-to-earth, we must talk about scientific evidence, don't become aliens and aliens......"
Professor Chen happily said: "Be patriotic, don't discourage young people's active thinking. In fact, with our current level of technology, there is no way to prove that aliens exist or do not exist. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sa Dipeng came to his senses: "Since science can't prove it, it is possible to have a ......"
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Professor Chen waved his hand and continued to explain what he had seen and heard in the nine-story demon building.
"Now we know for sure that this is not a family burial, but a cemetery. The lower layers are the corpses of ordinary people, and from the sixth floor, there are changes......"
"Now, I can almost be sure that the dark river in front of us is the Zidu Dark River, and its flow direction is the direction of the Exquisite Ancient City......"
Hao Aiguo was so fascinated by it that he forgot to record it.
After all, Professor Chen's call can be called a breakthrough in deciphering the culture of the ancient Western Regions.
