Chapter 437: Back to the Oasis

In fact, King Wu's war was also a big loophole, because the main force of the Shang Dynasty was crusading against Dongyi at that time.

Merchants fought for a dual purpose, on the one hand, to exterminate the barbarians and keep the borders safe, and on the other hand, to plunder slaves. Slaves were used for a variety of purposes, from labor to sacrifice, and possibly even to be eaten......

And many of the slaves plundered by the merchants were actually Dongyi people. In the oracle bone inscriptions of merchants, there are many records about Dongyi. In the oracle bone inscription, the Dongyi people were always dissatisfied and always fought against the Central Plains, so at the end of the Yin Shang Dynasty, a large number of troops were launched to crusade against the Dongyi.

However, think about the brutality of the merchants, if I were Dongyi, I would not accept it, and I would have to fight against it.

The people of Dongyi must be depressed too—I treat you as a neighbor, but you treat me as food!

It is estimated that the merchant army at that time also had slogans, such as - what to do to crusade against Dongyi? Get some people to drink.

This religion of worshipping ghosts in the Shang Dynasty was completely replaced by the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty came up with a set of god worship, the supreme ruler called himself the Son of Heaven, and the assistant Zhou metric system of ritual music, and slowly derived Confucianism, which fundamentally negated the Shang Dynasty's religious worship system.

Therefore, Confucius, the founder of Confucianism and a descendant of the Shang king, said: "Zhou Jian is in the second generation, and he is depressed and depressed, and I follow Zhou." "That is to say, the Zhou Dynasty is very civilized and impressive, and I will learn the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.

But of course, Confucius also saved face for his ancestors, and the meaning of "Zhou Jian Yu in the second generation" is the "depressed and depressed" of the Zhou Dynasty, which is borrowed from the practice of the Xia and Shang dynasties.

Therefore, more than 3,000 years ago, China began to change from killing people to a civilized society of killing with caution and punishment.

From that moment on, any act of indiscriminate killing of innocents and killing on a large scale will be considered evil and demonic.

More than a thousand years later, the Tang Dynasty, of course, would not accept the evil deeds of wanton killing in the Western Night Kingdom.

Most of the countries in the Western Regions believed in Buddhism and advocated good deeds at that time, why did the Western Night Kingdom stand out and use human bones to make statues? Since the Tang people call it "Demon Country", what is the demon it believes in?

Thinking can be a distraction, especially when you're constantly climbing one dune after another. As I came to the end of the palace of thoughts, I suddenly noticed something was wrong.

By the estimated time, I should have been back at the Oasis by this moment.

But in front of me, there was no trace of an oasis.

I couldn't help but look back and look at the "virtual spot" in the sky again.

It still hovers there, not erased from my mind, but facts speak louder than words, because what is now in front of me is still the boundless sand.

Even if you stand on the top of the sand dunes and look around, you can't see the slightest trace of the oasis.

Could it be- am I on the wrong side? Is there something wrong with the "virtual point"?

After all, "virtual dots" are just imaginary things, and I can't really pick up a marker, run into the sky, and draw a big circle on it. So after a huge sandstorm, my unbreakable memories may also be confused.

If that's the case, it's a complete suck!

Whether I stay in the oasis or in the clutches of the devil, Hua Hu may find me, but if I wander around in the vast Taklamakan Desert, then even the gods and Buddhas will not be able to find me.

I was anxious when I suddenly saw a green patch in the sand dunes not far from here.

If there is no grass growing on the sand dunes, how can there be green? If you look closely, you can see that the shadows of the sand dunes there are very unnatural. It stands to reason that because the dunes are in a regular shape, the edges of the shadows should also be regular.

- Unless, that's not a shadow!

It dawned on me that I ran down the sand dunes where I was standing, and ran as fast as I could, because I was running so fast that I had planted a few heels in the middle and fell all over my mouth with sand.

I stumbled to the shadow, and as expected, it wasn't a shadow at all, it was a stain of water covered in wild sand.

This is the oasis in the morning, I didn't expect that the huge wind and sand at noon actually buried the entire lake, and the green not far away is the canopy that has not been completely buried.

But—where is Shen Yu?

I was in a hurry—there was no figure here, so she wouldn't be buried in the sand, would she?

"Shen Yu! Shen Yu! I shouted.

My throat was as dry as a parched farmland, and I was so anxious and dry that I had just shouted twice before my voice was completely broken. I hurriedly took water out of my school bag, poured two sips hard, moistened my throat, and continued to shout heartbreakingly.

"Shen Yu, where are you! Where have you been! ”

There was no echo, and in the empty desert, there was only the rustle of the breeze sweeping across the sand.

I ran towards the green, hoping to find Shen Yu hiding from the wind, but I was disappointed again, there were only dying trees in that place, and there were no girls I liked.

"Shen Yu! Do you hear that? Where are you going! "I was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, running round and round around the vanishing lake, searching, shouting, howling.

There is no sound yet. I wish she could get up from a pile of yellow sand, shake off the sand from her body in embarrassment, and then yell at me, scolding, blaming me for saying goodbye, blaming me for making my own decisions, scolding me for disappearing at the critical moment, leaving her alone to face the storm.

The sun slowly sets towards the end of the western sky, the sunset in the desert is so beautiful and magnificent, the sandstorm that spreads its teeth and claws like a demon during the day, and at dusk is like a quiet maiden.

The sand dunes are all gilded with gold, like the golden palaces of the ancient Ottoman sultans, and like golden sheep one after another. The wind no longer hissed, the temperature no longer scorched, and a feeling of coolness and distance came to the face, and the heaven and earth seemed to be moving towards a great tranquility in an instant.

But I'm not in the mood to enjoy the scenery and feel the tranquility. I stood on top of the vanishing lake, and I felt like my heart was broken.

- Even if you find the West Night, what can you do?

In order to prove myself, I abandoned the love of my life at a critical time, in a dangerous place.

I shouldn't be angry, and Shen Yu is still a girl no matter how strong she is, in such a harsh natural environment, she needs me to be by her side even more.

Just when I was secretly sad and sad, I suddenly saw a vague black dot moving in the direction of the setting sun.

I hurried up a higher sand dune and looked at the black spot.

Yes, that's a person, that's a person who is walking here. Judging by the way she walks, she is clearly a woman.

"Shen Yu!" I waved my hands and shouted loudly in that direction, and then rushed down the dunes and ran towards them.
