Chapter 19: The Sacrificial Tower

These three poisoned people have now completely lost their human nature, no matter what we call them, there is no normal reaction, but their aggression is not so strong, and it was completely solved by Qianyu's two or three knives, and Qianyu's previous bite by the scorpion didn't seem to have any effect on her at all, or it had been cured.

The three people who were poisoned by the broken sand of the peacock statue were wiped by Qianyu in a few short minutes, and they lay on the ground with their necks covered, only to see the purple-black blood gushing out of the necks of the three like a flood, and after struggling on the ground, they didn't react, and they lay quietly on the ground with their feet kicked, and it seemed that they had completely died.

After all, these three people were poisoned just now, and the poison has not yet entered the bones, if nothing else, this peacock statue should be soaked in some liquid before it is made into a statue, otherwise it will not be poisoned if it is touched, if it is replaced with thousands of years of zongzi, it is not a knife or two can solve the problem.

The old lady looked at the three entourages on the ground with some regret, saying that those three people had been with her for a long time, but the matter had come to this point, and we had no choice but to cover these three people with some sand and soil, and let them rest in peace, otherwise it would be mad to see the three corpses in front of them.

The young master also sighed and said, "I said don't touch it!" ”

The old lady and Zhang Yuntian didn't speak, but they both looked at the disc in their hands, and the old lady explained: "The dust bead is completely useless if it lacks this thing, so I have to get it, and I have to rely on it to activate the effect of the dust bead." Zhang Yuntian also responded to the road.

The second uncle also said: "Okay, don't worry about it when you get to this point, you all pay attention later, don't be so reckless, this tomb is not as good as the outside, everything has to be done carefully, otherwise you don't know when you will lose your life." The old lady and Zhang Yuntian naturally knew, and they both nodded in response.

"Come here, there's a sacrificial altar here!" Xiao Ye didn't continue to stay on the topic just now, and pointed to the platform he found just now.

We all looked at that, only to see that there was a groove on the platform, which seemed to be used to hold something, and the shape of the platform was also like a certain part of the phoenix, and then took a closer look, there was a phoenix head under the platform, I thought of those phoenix organs in Kunlun Mountain, and I couldn't help but stand up again, and asked the master: "There won't be any organs, right?" ”

The master replied: "No, this is just a sacrificial platform, and there will be no design mechanism!" "Second uncle, they also said yes, I didn't think about anything else.

We asked two people to take the wind, and the others walked to the edge of the sacrificial platform, the two people who took the wind were Wang Dashan and Abu, and the master must have something to know about this sacrificial platform, otherwise he couldn't conclude that there was no organ in this sacrificial platform, and the phoenix head was facing us!

And I also know that most of the sacrificial activities in the ancient country of Loulan are to worship the sun, they believe that the sun is everything in this world, this has to be said decades ago, there was an archaeological team wandering in Lop Nur, on a rolling sand dune, a wooden stick emerged from the sand dune, the wooden stick revealed a different point, that is, there are traces of artificial action.

It was these small sticks that revealed this heavenly opportunity, and when they shoveled out all the sand, a group of forty-two tombs appeared, and the magnificence of the six tombs in the shape of the radiant sun actually stunned everyone present, so they admired the power of the sun, believing that the sun was the root of everything, and that the sacrifice was either to sacrifice to the sun, or to worship the sun god, or the legendary sun god.

And this phoenix is unrelated to the legendary sun god, saying that it is a golden crow, or a phoenix, in this way, the phoenix has become a kind of totem for them, of course, these things can no longer be verified, and each way has different theories, each holding a word.

The groove on the altar in front of us is in the shape of a sun, with a complete circle in the middle, completely surrounded by the sun's rays, and directly below it is the phoenix's head, as if it is holding the sun in it with its mouth open.

After confirming this, I also told them what I had just thought, and although I can't guarantee that it will be the same as I thought, at least it can be related to some necessary relationships.

In addition, the late period of the ancient kingdom of Loulan also believed in Buddhism, and the ancient tomb ditch civilization had a close connection with the Loulan civilization two thousand years later, but there was a ring connecting the two periods in the middle.

In addition, as mentioned before, the sun-shaped tombs, each cemetery, has a nucleus, this nucleus is composed of a tight circle of poplar stakes, and the poplar wood circle of each cemetery is seven layers, and the number seven must have some meaning at the time, maybe it is the same as the meaning of the stupa is mostly seven layers.

In fact, in the ancient culture of various ethnic groups, what is the number of seven, for example, God arranged a week for seven days, and the ancient rainstorm fell for seven days and seven nights, etc., someone once studied this number, thinking that the seven characters represent the sevenfold space, that is, upper, middle, lower, front, back, left, right, therefore, it has become the object of worship of the universal ancient people. It can be seen that Gu Loulan's beliefs are also deeply influenced by this number.

As for Buddhism, it can also be seen in many of the ancient tombs of Loulan that have been excavated that the early funerary straw baskets of Loulan have disappeared cleanly, replaced by exquisite pottery, lacquerware, and silk, and the sun-shaped tombs together with the worship of the sun have also been replaced by the glory of the Buddha, and even the cultural belief tendency of the East and West has appeared.

The colored coffin tomb discovered in the early years is a collection of Eastern and Western civilizations, and is painted with the Suzaku and Xuanwu, which symbolize the sun and the moon of Eastern civilization, so the sun and Buddhist beliefs will be combined, so I am more affirmative: "The pattern on this is the sun, and the connection between the sun and the phoenix is inseparable, so it can be seen!" ”

At this time, the master said faintly: "I know what you said, you can tell them!" ”

Anyway, the master didn't give me any face at this time, and he didn't tell us anything if he knew, and let me talk nonsense here, which was the same last time, but I was used to it when I thought about it, and I didn't care too much, but the few people in the back were stunned when they heard me say this, and even the old lady said she didn't know.

Although I know that the master has lived for more than fifty years, after all, I know that his name is Liu Qingxuan, and I don't dare to speculate even the people named Qianyu and Zhang Yuntian, it seems that their appearance is not very suitable for age, at least they have to catch up with the age of the old lady, so that my entire three views have collapsed among these people.

At that moment, the crow seemed to find something under the altar and said, "Here's a stone bar!" ”

I looked at it, what kind of stone bar is this, this is obviously a thing inserted in the secret compartment of the sacrificial platform, if nothing else, it is a mechanism, I thought to myself: "What about the good no mechanism, will this young master also have a time to look away?" ”

But before we could stop it, the crow pulled out the stone.
