Chapter 364: A Tragic Story
PS: PS: There is no code word for a week, and the hand is very raw. It's really hard to get old. Ask for comfort.
==============================================================
Hearing these words, I felt the muscles in my legs throb a few times, and if I hadn't deliberately controlled myself, I think I would have jumped up. Although I tried my best to control my emotions, the inadvertent emotions or changes in my expression still fell in Tang Yumo's eyes.
"Have you ever seen that piece of iron?!" Tang Yumo's voice was a little out of voice.
I looked at Tang Yumo and shook my head slowly.
Tang Yumo's face turned cold in vain, and his voice trembled and asked, "You must have seen it, you saw it in Lop Nur, right?" β
I shook my head.
"You were sent by the devil. It has finally found us, no, we are too naΓ―ve, and the relict leaving us is a sign that we are exposed. These thousands of years of peaceful life are an illusion, is it coming to an end today? Tang Yumo muttered almost in a tone.
Perhaps under the influence of Tang Yumo, Hakka Ah Yong's emotions also became nervous and excited, giving me the feeling that he wanted to rush over and fight with me. He was sitting not far behind Tang Yumo, his two eyes shining with a different and dazzling light.
Ah Yong's expression made me feel very funny, in Zhenfeng County, he didn't kill me with a sharp dagger, and now that he has been disarmed by us, how can I be afraid of him.
I gave him a playful smile and said unceremoniously: "Among you Hakka people, killing you is the least psychological burden for me, and the only thing that has this **." So. Don't give me excuses, and don't create the conditions for me to kill you. β
After speaking, I turned my eyes to Tang Yumo.
"I once saw a picture of a piece of iron. But I don't know if it's a sacred relic for your Hakka people. But I haven't seen a physical piece of iron, and I don't think I'll ever see it again. β
Tang Yumo's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the light was coming from her eyes, not the reflected light of a campfire.
"What does it look like?"
I shook my head. "You say. If we're talking about one thing, I'll add details. β
"It's a hexagonal piece of iron, with a mirror-like surface."
I didn't wait for Tang Yumo to continue, so I said: "Yes, there are some complicated lines on it, but it does not affect the brightness of the appearance at all. β
Then the two of us stared at each other in silence. There is no doubt that the two of us are talking about the same thing.
Although I suspect that there is some connection between this place and the Lop Nur underpass, as I find that the two are more and more similar, it is almost a copy. Or when this is a miniature version of Lop Nur, I was still shocked and incomprehensible. Especially this piece of iron, which tied the fate of many people, such as Song Guilong.
Tang Yumo's voice interrupted my musings. "Where is it?"
"Lop Nur, underground. A colleague of mine brought it in. I didn't find him, I didn't find the piece of iron, it was more sinister than this place, I think he was dead in the ground. Equally. That piece of iron will be lost forever in the ground of Lop Nur. β
"He's not dead. I'm talking about your colleagues. It should be said that he will not die. He will receive eternal life. This will be the minimum reward he will ever get, and perhaps he will get more. β
I looked at her coldly, I really couldn't accept her pretentious rhetoric. I am highly educated, I know the process of life from beginning to end, and certainly do not believe in the lie of immortality.
I sneered. I wanted to retort a few words sarcastically. saw Tang Yu waving his hand weakly.
"I know what you're trying to say. Anyone will think and say that, but when you know the history of our people, you will change your perception. It can even turn your worldview upside down. Tang Yumo stroked his forehead slightly tiredly. Want to hear our story? It's long, but it's not exciting, and overall it's a tragic story. β
I shrugged noncommittally. I don't want to sit down on the floor and listen to a story, especially a long one.
"Our ancestors were the natives of Lop Nur and at the same time, servants of the devil. Yes, we serve the devil and build above-ground, underground facilities for him. And be chosen by it, as here there will be the Awakened among my ancestors.
But the awakened who appear under Lop Nur are protected by the devil, and they don't need secondary mutations and don't have to lose their nature to have almost infinite lives. But eternal life is not gratuitous, and the price is equally great, that is, freedom. My ancestors traded their freedom for eternal life.
The longer you live, the more precious your freedom becomes. While serving the devil, my ancestors gradually mastered certain laws and tricks and began to plot defections.
When the devil fell asleep, my ancestors stole the devil's most precious and important treasure, the hexagonal iron, and organized a great migration of millions of people. This valley, the migration site chosen by my ancestors long ago, is far enough from Lop Nur to build the underground space we need. β
"What are the conditions for you to build an underground space?"
"What do you think?"
I looked at Tang Yumo and calmly said one word: "Water." β
Tang Yumo nodded. "Yes, we need a lot of water."
"Why?" I asked.
"Water is the source of life."
It was clear that she was prevaricating me. I didn't dwell on this issue and bypassed it right away. "Your fathers served the devil, have they ever seen the devil? What does the devil look like? Why do you think it's the devil? β
"It has four faces, is that enough? If not enough"
"Enough" I was going to say these two words out loud, but the actual sound came out like **.
When I heard the four faces, I immediately remembered the four-sided totem pole that I had dug up in Lop Nur. We initially judged that the ancestors of Lop Nur worshipped the sun, and the four facial carvings with different expressions represented four different emotions. But there was also an objection at the time, that is, the four faces with different expressions at the top of the totem pole are from a prototype, which is in great contrast with the many figures carved below. Because there is no resemblance in the figure carvings below.
So at that time, there was another different point of view, that the ancestors of Lop Nur were character worship, which was a character totem pole. And the prototype of this four-faced character is likely to be the king of the ancestors of Lop Nur.
After listening to Tang Yumo's explanation today, it seems that it can better explain the origin of the four-sided totem pole. And Tang Yumo can't know that I have excavated the totem poles on all sides, so her words have a certain degree of credibility.
And if this is true, it will completely change my perception of the world. (To be continued......)
