The Great Desert Ancient City Chapter 57 My Inference

I just reacted from the astonishment of the rain of arrows, the wisdom of the ancients is really beyond imagination, not only can they set up a stone wall that can be reversed, but even the stone arrows can move when they hear the sound, and they can chase the source of the sound. If it weren't for the fourth master deliberately making noise, we would have been shot into hedgehogs a long time ago. But now is not the time to rejoice, because the one lying on this jade bed is definitely not a corpse!

I reached out to break the withered hand, but I didn't expect it to move. The scholar was also anxious, took out a dagger, and shouted in his mouth: "Your ancestors are sloppy, and the family will let you cheat the corpse!" After saying that, he was about to cut off his withered hands. The "man" seemed to be able to understand the words, and suddenly let go of Lao Xu, then straightened his upper body, sat up, tilted his head, and stared at us with that mask that seemed to be smiling.

Ah Shun rushed up with an arrow: "What Lao Tzu is doing is the business of licking blood on the tip of the knife, I haven't seen any scenes." Dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of Lao Tzu, let you break your bones and scatter ashes! As soon as he finished speaking, a machete had already slashed at the metal mask.

The machete collided with the metal mask, making a screeching sound. The "man" let out a "ho" sound, then rolled over and lay on the jade bed, writhing a few times in pain. Ah Shun wanted to take advantage of the situation to slash again, but he didn't expect the jade bed to suddenly flip, and the "person" disappeared all of a sudden!

No one expected this. I've always thought that this kind of scene was only in movies, but I didn't expect that the ancient tribes more than 2,000 years ago could actually design these wonderful and weird mechanisms!

The upturned jade bed still shone with a faint green light. The fourth master stared for a while and said, "This person should be Zhu Li, he is really an ancient genius!" I didn't expect the aftermath to be so exquisitely designed! ”

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?" Linglong asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this jade bed has a big way! It is rumored that in ancient times, a kind of treasure jade was produced in the Western Regions, called or soul jade. This thing is very rare, take it and process it and put it into the hands of the dying person, which can make the corpse not rot for thousands of years, just like retaining the soul of the living, so it is named soul jade. A soul jade like this large and made into a jade bed is really rare in the world. "The fourth master has extremely rich experience, and even he praised it so much, which shows the preciousness of this jade bed.

"In archaeology, the golden silk and jade clothes of Liu Sheng and his wife in the tomb of King Jing of the Western Han Dynasty also have this effect. But compared to the Chieftain Soul Jade Bed, it can't be said in the same day. Lao Xu was also amazed.

"His ancestors are stilted, this grandson must not be a good thing, with him as the king of a tribe, but he has such a treasure, he must have persecuted a lot of ordinary people! Sprinkle the family to eliminate harm for the people, do the right thing for heaven, and move this jade bed away! After that, I was going to lift it, and after trying it, I felt that the jade bed was too heavy to move. The angry scholar greeted him and his ancestors again, then pulled out his dagger and wanted to cut off a piece.

Lao Xu stopped him and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

The scholar was stunned: "Didn't the fourth master say it, this soul jade is put on the body, and it will not rot when it dies." This jade bed is too heavy, we can't move the whole thing, you can break it into pieces, get a few more pieces and take it out, and sell it for a good price! ”

"Fart! This is a national treasure, and if you cut off a horn today, you will become a sinner for the ages! Lao Xu scolded.

The scholar originally thought about it, but now that he was scolded by Lao Xu, he felt a little shorter in his heart, and he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to give up.

Ah Shun and they didn't say anything, I guess maybe it was because Cao Guy was planning to lose most of it, and in the face of such a big piece of jade, I am afraid there is not enough manpower to carry it out. If we can get out alive after this operation, we must disclose the information here to the national cultural relics department as soon as possible, otherwise we will be returned by the Cao family, and I am afraid that the treasures here will be lost.

Linglong interjected at this time and said, "Could it be that Zhuli is still alive?" Or has it become a refinement? There must be a passage under this jade bed, but I don't know where it leads. ”

The jade bed is now in a bottom-up state, I lay on the ground and looked at it, it is very tightly integrated with the ground, and there are no gaps. But the half-human, half-corpse guy just now disappeared in front of him, and there must be a secret passage under the jade bed. We discussed it and decided to use a shovel to chisel down the bottom edge of the jade bed. Ah Shun exerted all his strength, only chiseled twice, and felt numb in the tiger's mouth, but only two white marks were chiseled on the ground.

"Xia Ye, this can't be done, the stone on the floor is too hard." Ah Shun frowned and said.

"Other ancestors, Ah Shun, the Sprinkler family remembers that you have explosives in your bag, so go directly to the hard goods!" The scholar said.

"No! Here the authorities rushed and rashly used explosives, and the consequences were unimaginable. The fourth master did not agree with the scholar's plan.

Ever since I came to this chieftain site, I have been shocked by the high level of civilization, the ingenious mechanism, and the strange traps. But there is one point, I think this place is not deliberately completely enclosed, such as elevators, inverted stone walls and other traps and traps, as if the designer deliberately left a back door. In other words, it's not about stopping anyone from coming in, it's about selectively blocking it. If anyone knows the mechanism here, it's easy to get in and out. This jade bed must also have a switch that can be controlled flexibly. After listening to my analysis, the fourth master also agreed. It's just that the theory is just talk on paper after all, and if you can't find a way to open it, everything else is useless.

The stone wall is naturally enclosed, and in this temporarily enclosed space, there is no need to worry about sound. Everyone simply gathered around and discussed.

I always felt that my assumptions were correct, or intuitively correct, and I said, "Let's assume that if my assumptions are correct, then what is all this designed for?" I've just mentally consolidated the information we have so far. According to the information of the fourth master, the civilization of the chieftain tribe is very high, and the king is only a fictitious leader here, and the real power is in the hands of the high priest. And the last one Wang Zhuli has very strong personal ability, and he has a treasure jade wrench in his hand, and the effect of this treasure is said to be able to channel the gods. Perhaps it was exaggerated and used to better consolidate royal power and rule the tribe. In short, Sumie was not willing to be only a nominal leader, originally he would break through history, but unfortunately he met Ming Tu, the proud disciple of Long Fengdu, the first patriarch of the Holy Dragon. Ming Tu infiltrated the tribe for a certain purpose, and succeeded in becoming the high priest, becoming the de facto leader of the tribe. Then, there will inevitably be contradictions between Zhu Li and Ming Tu in the power struggle. What will be the consequences of the struggle between the two supreme powers? ”

"Mr. Xia, can you stop? What the hell do you want to say when you're going around and around? The scholar said.

"What does Xia Nan mean is that this stone tower and the internal mechanism settings need to consider the power struggle between Zhu and Ming Tu?" Lao Xu said.

"Not bad. I think the layout of the stone tower and the mechanism setting are all related to the power struggle. In other words, the design of the jacket is all used to prevent the painting. It is likely that before he died, he designed various traps to prevent Ming Tu from giving him a 'crush of bones and ashes'. ”

"Brother Nan, didn't you just say that the authorities here are selective and precautionary. Since it's to prevent Mingtu, who is leaving the back door for? Why do you have to leave the back door? Wouldn't it be better to enclose the mausoleum completely? Linglong asked again and again.

Don't look at Linglong, who looks like a rich lady with a ghost horse elf, but her heart is smart and tight, and the few questions she asks are all on the point. In fact, I already had a bold speculation in my heart, and took the opportunity to say: "Linglong asked a good question, I have been pondering these questions just now. I have a ridiculous speculation, let's talk about it. Hypothetically, I'm talking about assuming that the half-human, half-ghost guy just now is Sugi, and he, as the king of the chieftain, will definitely have a power struggle with the high priest Ming Tu during the reign. To build a mausoleum for yourself, you need to design traps, one to prevent theft, and the other to protect against enemies. Originally, it was the same as the tomb of Qin Shi Huang with a closed design, or with a hidden design like the tomb of Genghis Khan, which can achieve the purpose. But he didn't use it, but designed such a conspicuous stone tower building in the tribe, and there were many mechanisms inside but there was a back door. I speculate that it is designed to prevent the painting and to leave a way in and out. ”

"The way in and out?" Lao Xu thoughtfully.

"Yes, the way in and out! If you are familiar with the organs, you can enter and exit as if you were walking on the ground. I came in so that the offspring could worship, and I began to speculate that this was the case. But along the way, I didn't find any traces of sacrifice, which made me start to waver in this speculation. When I saw the half-human, half-ghost thing, I was more inclined to the second speculation, which was to go out. If that thing is a, and the stone tower is designed like this, I'm afraid it will be able to get out safely! ”

"Ah" Everyone except the fourth master exclaimed, and then began to talk about it.

I glanced at everyone, only the fourth master had a blank look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. He continued: "I admit it's outrageous. But along the way, everything on the site of the chieftain seems to be outrageous. This speculation is also completely in line with the atmosphere. He may not be dead, or not completely dead, but has kept his body through tools such as the jade bed, and has been dormant here for a certain purpose. Wait until the time is right before leaving the tower. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xia, I didn't expect you to have this ability, talent! Our newspaper still lacks a small editor, after going out, the Sprinkle family will definitely recommend you to our head, with your imagination, over time, you will become the editor-in-chief! The scholar said.

"Fuck you! I'm down to business. "I think this speculation, while a bit bold, is based on facts. It's just that the fourth master didn't seem to listen, like a stone sculpture sitting there without moving.

"Brother Nan, your speculation is ridiculous...... But I agree! Linglong's statement represents the statement of the Cao family.

I didn't make this inference, but after I got to know Lao Xu, I also read a lot of books on archaeology. There is a book that says that the purpose of the pyramids in Egypt was to allow the pharaoh's soul to ascend to heaven after his death, and at the same time to preserve the body and wait for the pharaoh to be reborn. And the use of the soul jade bed as a bed may also mean this. But in the past 2,000 years, whether he is a living person or a zongzi, if he is a living person, it is difficult to imagine how he carried out nutritional supplementation and metabolism.
