Chapter 436: The Western Night Ruins Reappear

What can alarm Hua Hu is the "pair of eyes" she felt in Wei Yang some time ago.

"I always feel like there's a pair of eyes staring at me, and it feels weird." She used to say that to me.

And this sand dune with the huge statue is the second place she feels "weird". The first "weird" hasn't been found yet, and the second "weird" has already been found.

By this time the wind had stopped, and I walked around the dunes, because the sand was so thick that I could not find any remains other than those five fingers.

At this point, there will be no progress in staying here, and the best option is to go back to the oasis and discuss the next step with Shen Yu.

But as I said earlier, when I set off, I only "marked" a "virtual point" on the sky on the way out, and I was so impatient that I didn't remember where the oasis was located in a hurry.

But after such a toss, I suddenly thought of a solution.

I just started from the oasis and went along that "virtual point", and now I just need to find the "virtual point" and go in the opposite direction, can't I go back to the same place?!

I scolded myself for being stupid - this brain doesn't even have a turn! Thinking of this, I quickly looked up at the sky, and thanks to my amazing memory, I looked up, and the "virtual point" that I had "drawn" in my mind was still far away in the sky.

After a baptism of wind and sand just now, I can't tell if the point marked out of thin air is right or wrong, but I don't have time to think about it now, so I can only try to find it first.

I took out my phone and wanted to write down the latitude and longitude location, but to my frustration, the location was still displayed in the village in Lanzhou.

Anyway, Hua Hu can feel this place, and even if the sand dunes will disappear, the oasis will not die, and the elm tree that Hua Hu put down on the oasis will not disappear, as long as these signs are there, we will always find this place again.

With the plan set, I walked down the dune, then turned back and set the direction of the "virtual point", and then walked in the opposite direction.

After a huge storm, the road was very different from the morning. The wind brought more sand, which piled up on the road, forming hills tens of meters high.

When I came, it was already very difficult to walk, but I didn't think that the way back was even more difficult. Although it is not difficult to climb one small sand dune, climbing dozens of small sand dunes in a row can kill people, not to mention that I have to stop while walking and turn back to confirm the direction I am heading.

However, although I was physically tired, I was full of energy.

Although this trip to the desert started with a wrong decision, I didn't expect to get an unexpected reward.

The Western Night Country, this small state in the Western Regions that has disappeared in history for more than 1,300 years, this place where all kinds of strange things and strange stories have been gathered recently, I didn't expect to appear in front of me so suddenly.

The pamphlet of the visitors from hell, the archaeological team of Wenmu Mountain, and the mysterious DNA of the backstabbers all seem to have a great relationship with this ancient country and this region.

Not only that, but in fact, it seems that the origin of the Sarekole people should also be not far from here, after all, according to their recollections, these people were taken away by the "master" when they were teenagers, and it did not take them long to cross the Sarekole Mountains and go beyond the borders.

If you don't take into account the mountains and rivers, if you draw a straight line from Yecheng, then it is not so far from the Sarekole Ridge.

However, if you study carefully, you will find that between Yecheng and Sarekole Ridge, there is also the tall Kunlun Mountain, as well as one of the "Eight Pa" Takdun Bus Pamir, and it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to go straight through.

But even so, the ancestral home of the Sarekole people should not be far from here.

These events may seem isolated, but when numerous isolated events come together, it is no accident.

As I thought, I walked forward, but what lingered in my mind was the dense white bones on the fingers of the "clutches".

No wonder the people of the Tang Dynasty regarded the West Night Eye as the country of evil demons, such a small country that kills people like hemp, if it is not for the devil's way, how could it be destroyed so far!

In fact, the history of a country that kills people like hemp has not existed for nothing.

The Shang Dynasty, the first well-documented dynasty in Chinese history, was a country where murder was a major priority. Large-scale human martyrdom also began in the Shang Dynasty.

If you visit Yinxu, you will walk through a Shang Dynasty cemetery with glass plates on it, and through the glass plates, you will find that the bones of people are covered underneath.

The Shang Dynasty treated prisoners of war and slaves as livestock, but their actual status was not even that of livestock. Merchants worship ghosts, and they believe that it is the spirits of their ancestors who bless them. In order to make sacrifices, they need to slaughter living beings to give blood food to the ghosts of their ancestors.

They killed and sacrificed, and there were very few livestock that they really used, but many people were martyred, and there were more than 9,000 people who had a well-documented killing and sacrificing of a merchant king Wu Ding.

You must know that the total population of the entire early Shang Dynasty was only 80 to 2 million.

These people were all completely preserved, some accompanied by chariots and horses, some held halberds in their hands, some curled up in pain, and some altars and jars.

Some Yinxu archaeologists said they were most afraid of digging up red clay pots.

Because it was a container for children's sacrifices, if you open the red jar, you will find that it is full of children's bones.

In 1984, a bronze retort was unearthed in Yinxu, which was a container used by merchants to cook things, and the shape was similar to our current small steamer.

They were surprised to find that the pot was full of stuffed things, and it was a human head.

Initially, archaeologists thought it was a sacrifice in which a human head was accidentally dropped into the pot.

- Please, what are you doing dangling a human head around during the sacrifice? That's a human head, not a pig's head, what does it mean to fall into the pot?

Later, in 1999, another bronze retort was unearthed in Yinxu, and they found that this time there was still a human head lying inside! Now the experts were convinced, it turned out that boiling human heads was also a sacrificial product.

The experts didn't say it, but we were able to deduce it - was it just to sacrifice the ancestors?

Since they treat people as animals, don't they eat them like animals?

Experts also specially conducted an isotope test on the human head in the second bronze ring, and they combined history to speculate that this head should be from Anhui.

Therefore, we can also say that more than 3,000 years ago, some Henan people chopped off the head of an Anhui person, and then cooked a full pot of human head soup to dedicate to their ancestors.

Some people speculate that the reason why the Shang Dynasty fell was also related to being too brutal and taking other people's lives inappropriately.

Therefore, when King Wu was defeated, the princes Jing Cong and the slaves of the Battle of Muye also fought back, and the King of Wu finally burned himself to death, and the Shang Dynasty perished.
