Chapter 71 I don't read much, but I can't talk about you scholars
The crowd listened quietly to Professor Chen's explanation.
Including Gao Xing, he also listened very attentively. After all, it helps him in his main quest.
Whether it's legends or speculations.
In short, the more clues you have about the Elite Queen, the better it will be for future exploration.
You can also learn more casually.
"As for why the face of the Exquisite Queen is not depicted on this mural, there is an explanation for this, because Prince Gumo did not see it clearly at all.
Or rather, it looks like a blur.
He witnessed the Queen's supernatural powers that made him disappear into thin air, and in fear, he had to abandon his assassination plan.
Because, Prince Guhei decided that the Queen of Essence was either a powerful witch or a demon.
Later, for some reason, the news of the sudden death of the Absolute Queen suddenly came out.
As a result, many small countries joined forces to attack the Elite Country......
But unexpectedly, just as the battle was raging, the black storm suddenly struck, burying the Essence City and all the people in the city under the yellow sand......"
After listening to the content of the mural interpreted by Professor Chen, Hao Aiguo couldn't help but be excited: "So, the Exquisite Ancient City is real, and the direction we are traveling in is also right?" ”
"That's right, we shouldn't be far from the Exquisite Ancient City now......"
Fluttershy looked thoughtful, "Professor Chen, do you think the Queen of Essence is really a demon?" Or a female ghost or something? ”
"Hehe, you girl never believed in any ghosts and gods before, what's the matter, now that your faith is starting to waver?"
Fluttershy sticks out her tongue.
Then pointed to Gao Xing: "It's all to blame on this guy, I was instigated by him......"
Gao Xing: ZZzz... (。 -ω-).. ooO
"Poof!"
Looking at Gao Xing's speechless expression, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and the fat man couldn't help laughing.
"I think the Absolute Queen is mostly an ......"
Sa Dipeng just wanted to talk about aliens, but halfway through his words, he subconsciously glanced at Hao Aiguo, and swallowed the word "starman" back into his stomach.
Professor Chen smiled and said, "Hehe, actually, with so many mysteries, it's hard for me to say what kind of person the Queen of Pure Essence is."
Demons, ghosts, aliens...... It's not that it's impossible.
It could also be an ancient form of witchcraft.
All in all, now that we've come here, we're getting closer and closer to the Exquisite Ancient City. So, let's find a way to unravel its mystery......"
"Good!"
"It's really exciting!"
"Why don't we leave tomorrow?" Shirley Yang was motivated and a little impatient.
Hu Bayi hurriedly said: "Miss Yang, Professor Chen, they can't compare with you, the next journey may be more difficult, let's plan more, it's not too late to take care of your body and set off." ”
"Okay!"
Shirley Yang replied helplessly.
"Okay, let's go out, although we can't excavate this tomb for the time being, these murals provide us with quite important information, and it can be regarded as a huge gain."
"Hey, Professor Chen, we're all down, why don't you open the coffin and take a look...... Just take a look at it and it should be fine, right? ”
The fat man is still a little unwilling.
Hu Bayi stepped forward and grabbed the fat man's shoulder: "Your uncle, let you go, where did you get so much nonsense?" ”
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
The fat man turned back three times in one step, looking reluctant to give up.
After going out, the group reclosed the tomb door, then returned to the ground in turn, and continued the discussion around the campfire.
With the new discoveries, Professor Chen's spirit is also exceptionally good, and he talks eloquently.
"Whether it is ancient or modern, the ancient Western Regions have always been mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.
At that time, Master Xuanzang traveled all the way to the west, passing through more than 200 countries and cities of all sizes, witnessing various wonders and different customs and customs......
This is why there is the strange book of the Tang Dynasty Western Regions.
In the book, there are also some mysterious legends about the Elite Country.
In general, the ancient Western Regions were relatively prosperous back then, especially the ancient kingdom of Loulan......"
This conversation is in the middle of the night.
The next day, Professor Chan and his entourage continued to excavate the underground chamber.
In the afternoon, the ...... was finally dug up
As a result, there was no gold or silver treasure or anything like that, only a few stone statues.
These stone statues only have the upper body, and they have a very strange appearance.
In particular, a pair of eyes, which are more than three times larger than the normal proportion, and protrude outward, looking extremely weird and terrifying.
"This ...... How do you feel that this stone statue is a bit similar to the one unearthed in Sanxingdui? ”
Ye Yixin wondered.
"Yes, the two places are so far apart, how can there be a similar style?"
"It's not difficult to understand this...... Professor Chen explained: "I have seen similar stone statues in Inner Mongolia, and they are all products before the appearance of writing.
At that time, human beings were relatively closed and had no written communication, so it was difficult to understand some natural phenomena.
Therefore, in their hearts, they naturally yearn to have a pair of eyes that can see through the secrets of heaven and earth.
And these stone statues are a way for them to learn about the world......"
Hearing this, the fat man couldn't help laughing: "Those primitive people are really too ignorant, they can see high and far with big eyes?" ”
"Just you?"
Hu Bayi glared at the fat man angrily.
"Hehe, Comrade Kaixuan, what you said is not right. You must know that in ancient times, human thinking was also very limited by various conditions.
Let's take the example of us eating roast lamb.
Do you know how many years primitive people lived and drank blood?
Are they all stupid?
It was a necessary part of human evolution.
Just like a person, from infancy, to infancy, to teenager, youth...... Grow and mature slowly.
Is what we have today really possible in our generation?
No, it was through the development and accumulation of thousands of years of civilization in prehistory and later that we have mastered so much technology and experience.
To put it bluntly, the development of society is not only about looking forward to the future, but also relying on the accumulation of predecessors......"
"Yes, I don't read much, I can't talk about you scholars...... All I care is, is this thing worth it? ”
I have to admit that the fat man's thinking jumps too much.
In the blink of an eye, it was on the money again.
Hao Aiguo was a little angry and said: "I said Comrade Wang Kaixuan, why do you spend money at every turn?" These are relics, precious legacies left by our ancestors......"
Hu Ba was afraid that the fat man would say the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly scolded him seriously: "Comrade Wang Kaixuan, I despise you on behalf of the moon......
You have also seen with your own eyes that the slaves in the ancient tombs were buried alive.
And you? Growing up in New China, born under the red flag, the days are about to be well-off......
So, you just have fun! ”
After a "righteous and strict" words, he suddenly asked the fat man to make a confession.
"Yes, yes, my consciousness is not high enough, I admit my mistakes, I repent......"
