Chapter 456: Appearance
Chen Ziyang squatted next to the well, touching his chin, looking at the helpless look in the man's eyes after pulling the empty bucket up.
The bucket was empty except for the yellow sand, and the man lifted the bucket high, poured out the sand inside, threw the bucket aside, and then collapsed weakly by the well.
"It seems that there must be a drought here, or maybe the area of the desert has expanded, and this place has become the edge of the desert, which is why there is such a shortage of water." Chen Ziyang thought in his heart.
Based on the scrawny bodies of the residents here, coupled with the shriveled lips of each of them, Chen Ziyang judged that the lack of water here was not a day or two.
After walking around the village, Chen Ziyang now has significantly more houses in this village than the number of residents here, and even if one person lives in one room, the houses are rich.
In other words, many of the people who lived here have left the area, or have died of thirst, and judging by these aspects, the drought has been going on for at least several months.
Now Chen Ziyang walks in this small village, and whenever he stops, he looks at the villagers in this village as if he were watching a movie.
Although he had seen the ghosts of the inhabitants of this ancient country in the ruins of the ancient kingdom before, those ghosts only had one face, and their bodies were all like black shadows, and their movements could not be seen clearly, and those ghosts were almost expressionless.
But the current picture is so real that Chen Ziyang can't tell whether he is in a dream, or if he has really traveled to the ancient kingdom of Mi 2,000 years ago. Now he seems to be a passer-by in this village, slowly examining how the people here live in this huge predicament from the perspective of a third person.
Chen Ziyang felt that he had no concept of time, he felt as if he had been watching here for a long time, and he also felt that it had only taken a few seconds since he came here to see all this.
Recalling the stone tablet patterns carved by the old king of the ancient kingdom of Sumi, Chen Ziyang had a feeling that he had entered the painting.
Raising his head and looking at the scorching sun and dry sky, an idea suddenly popped up in Chen Ziyang's heart, the content of the second picture was about to appear.
Now these pictures should be shown to myself from the perspective of the foreign woman, and the pictures on the stone tablet pictures before are depicted from the experiences of the people in the ancient kingdom of Sumi. But now it seems that there is no difference between the two, at least until the appearance of that foreign woman, the miserable situation of this ancient country is exactly the same.
Based on his own memories, Chen Ziyang compared the houses here with the contents of the first stone tablet he had seen, and then he found the place where the foreign woman confronted the villagers.
When Chen Ziyang just stood still, he suddenly appeared, at the junction of the sand and the sky in the distance, a camel was carrying a woman in white walking slowly.
"Come on, the Lord is here." Although Chen Ziyang had roughly guessed what would happen next, he still found a shady place, lay down in a position that he felt most comfortable, and waited there quietly, waiting for the next thing to happen.
When the woman rode a camel and approached, Chen Ziyang realized that this woman was a little different from the picture on the stone tablet pattern, and the woman was wearing a thin white veil when she came.
And he noticed that this woman, like everyone else in this village, could not see his existence at all, and it was obvious that this woman was only a part of the memories of life in this village, and was not at all the woman he had seen in his dreams before.
The rest of the story was similar to what Chen Ziyang had guessed, and the woman in white loudly announced to the villagers that she could make the village have endless water, and this water could bring countless wealth to the villagers, completely changing their deplorable situation.
It's just that when the woman in white took out the diamond and proposed the exchange conditions, Chen Ziyang was still stunned for a moment.
Originally, he thought that the woman's condition was to be the king here, or to have some other benefits, such as helping her build an underground palace or something.
But Chen Ziyang never imagined that the condition proposed by this woman was that once the water flowed out of this diamond, then the water should never be stopped, otherwise, a curse would fall on everyone's heads.
This condition seems very ridiculous at first glance, and it will never be rejected by those who are desperate to get water, but when the woman in white said the conditions for the diamonds to flow out of the water, all the villagers fell silent, and then loudly scolded the woman for being a demon girl.
When the woman in white said that the only condition for the diamond to flow water was to exchange it for human blood, all the villagers were excited and kept insulting. Hearing this, Chen Ziyang scratched his head, he couldn't understand the values of the people in this village.
If you follow Chen Ziyang's thinking, even if it is exchanged for blood, it is not a big deal, after all, only with water can they survive, and those who can survive can continue to live even if they take out some blood, and it is not their life, but why are these people who are about to die of thirst so stingy with blood.
Chen Ziyang knew that in the society of 2,000 years ago, the lives of ordinary people were simply like ants in the eyes of the high-ranking and powerful.
He felt that these villagers should not be so entangled, after all, life is the most important thing. From their own point of view, these people should happily accept the conditions, and it is clear that there is one person in the crowd who has the same idea as Chen Ziyang.
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and turned around to tell everyone to be quiet, and then he explained the pros and cons, telling everyone not to care about other things, after all, the main thing is to be able to get water so that everyone can continue to live.
Chen Ziyang noticed that while the man was persuading everyone, the woman who had hidden her face under a thin white veil clearly showed an appreciative smile.
Looking at the side face of this middle-aged man, Chen Ziyang had a familiar feeling. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't remember seeing this middle-aged man in this village. After staring at the middle-aged man for a long time, Chen Ziyang remembered that this man's face was extremely similar to the old king of the ancient kingdom on the stone tablet.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had persuaded everyone turned around and said to the woman in white that he was willing to sacrifice the first drop of blood and transform it into water to save everyone's lives. And the woman in white obviously admired this middle-aged man very much.
Just when the middle-aged man dripped blood into the diamond, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered that there was a strange place on those stone tablet murals, that is, when this woman used diamonds to transform into clear water, this woman's ass was very big.
Thinking of this, he quickly got up, slowly walked behind the woman in white, and stared at the buttocks of the woman in white carefully.
"Not big, huh?" Chen Ziyang thought strangely in his heart that although this woman's ass is very plump and very straight, and the contour curve of the ass is very attractive, this is just a normal buttocks, and it is not as exaggerated as the one painted on the stone monument mural.
At this time, the middle-aged man's blood had been absorbed by the diamond, and at the same time, water had flowed out of the diamond. The moment the villagers saw the clear water, all the people forgot their previous insistence, and how they had opposed the exchange of blood, and they rushed up and grabbed the clear water frantically.
Even because of the large number of people, some people who could not compete for it could only lie on the ground and lick the wet soil when the water dripped with their tongues.
Among all the villagers, the only one who was calm was the middle-aged man, who looked at the crazy scene of the villagers with an indifferent look on his face.
Chen Ziyang can understand this man's thoughts, after all, this man just now is against the public, and even insisted on his own ideas under the abuse of the villagers, if it weren't for these Qing Shui, it is very likely that this man has been regarded as a sinner in this village, it seems that the people in this village have an inexplicable worship of blood.
At this time, Chen Ziyang saw that a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in the eyes of this middle-aged man. Although this surprised gaze flashed, it was still captured by Chen Ziyang, so he hurriedly followed the middle-aged man's gaze, and sure enough, the middle-aged man was looking at the buttocks of the woman in white.
Chen Ziyang saw that something seemed to be there, and suddenly moved under the skirt of the woman in white.
The woman in white was wearing a dress similar to white gauze, which was very thin and very light. So when the breeze blows, the woman's skirt is always fluttering.
But even so, Chen Ziyang still saw that something seemed to move under the skirt near the woman's buttocks.
Through the bulging silhouette of the white gauze skirt, Chen Ziyang saw that this wriggling thing seemed to be a powerful tail, a slender thing. And as the thing squirmed, it lifted the woman's white gauze skirt, making her buttocks look like they were bigger.
"Your grandmother, is this woman a vixen?" Chen Ziyang thought in surprise, and at the same time, he noticed that the middle-aged man should have seen the same picture as himself, so his eyes showed surprise.
Although the middle-aged man noticed this detail, he remained silent, staring indifferently at the woman in white in front of him, and continued to drip his blood into the diamond.
The things that happened later appeared in front of Chen Ziyang as if they were fast forward. Villagers lined up to pour their blood into diamonds in exchange for plenty of water, and over time, the small village gradually transformed into an oasis town on the edge of the desert.
Caravans stopped in the small city, replenishing water and exchanging their goods for water, and the inhabitants of the town grew, all with happy smiles on their faces.
The dilapidated houses are long gone, and new houses have appeared in the middle of the town, under the green shade of the desert.
And the first middle-aged man to drip blood into a diamond was worshipped as a king by these villagers. The villagers built a huge palace for him.
On the day of the king's wedding, Chen Ziyang saw the middle-aged man tie a wide belt for the first time, and the belt buckle of this belt was the round gold belt buckle that Yang Lei found before.
In just a few seconds, the changes of the ancient country of Su Mi for decades instantly appeared in Chen Ziyang's mind, he felt the rapid changes of the ancient country of Su Mi, with the endless water source, the ancient country of Su Mi has become an important stop on the Silk Road, and all the caravans have to rest here, which also drives the economy of this ancient country, making it one of the more influential among the thirty-six ancient countries in the Western Regions.
"It's really strange, why doesn't the woman in white be mentioned in the things this woman showed me, nor in the picture carved on the stone tablet by the old king of the valley country? Where did this woman go? ”
Although the picture in front of me is still continuing, it is all the same, and the entire ancient kingdom of Sumi is a thriving scene. Chen Ziyang knew that what this woman wanted to show herself was almost over, but he still hadn't seen the most important thing for him. It seems that the woman in white should have hidden a lot of important things when she instilled these pictures in herself.
"What is there that this woman in white doesn't want me to see?" Chen Ziyang thought in his heart.
This woman used a beautiful voice to confuse her mind, hoping that she could go with him, when she regained her sanity with the help of the Soul Suppression Paperweight, and this woman tempted herself with endless life and endless wealth, then the picture she showed herself must be the most seductive picture, and she would never show some pictures with side effects in front of her.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang nodded, so is there a way for him to see what happened next? See why this ancient kingdom is decaying.
Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking, the scenery in front of him was all illusory, and it seemed that these scenes were about to disappear.
At this time, Chen Ziyang, who was anxious, suddenly saw the alien beast pattern of the soul-calming paperweight that appeared on his right arm.
