Everyone present still failed to comprehend the meaning of Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi also said it bluntly.

"In this hall, there should be the coffins and bodies of the Absolute Queens of the past dynasties, but in fact, from what we just observed, instead of the Absolute Queen, we saw the corpses of many unrelated people in that mezzanine.

From the content of these reliefs, it can be seen that these coffins are actually 'props', the 'props' used by the Elite Kingdom to control the countries of the Western Regions and collect wealth! ”

"Comrade Xiaolin, how can you say this?"

Lu Lao asked puzzled.

He is a first-class expert in the study of the culture of the ancient Western Regions, and the history of the 36 countries of the Western Regions can be said to be at his fingertips.

In the past, when the Elite Kingdom was strong, it was indeed the overlord of the Western Regions.

Other small countries are the only ones who look to the best.

Of course, this is also based on the strong military power and abundant financial strength of the Elite Country.

Lin Yi's interpretation just now was indeed unexpected by him.

"Old Lu, have you ever heard of 'burying the living'?"

"Burial of the living?"

When Lu Lao was still muttering, Abu took over the conversation.

"When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that in the past, there were still many tribes in the desert, and they still maintained the custom of burying the living, and it was said that this way could fly directly to the sky."

"I remember!"

Lu Lao also reacted immediately.

"It is recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions" that the countries of the Western Regions once had the custom of burying the living, especially the countries and races that were subordinate to the Elite State, and they would put some people who were seriously ill, approaching the end of the day, and even some people with a long life expectancy into coffins, held ceremonies and buried them.

It is said that this will allow them to die and be reborn. Except that it was not until the 10th century AD, after the introduction of the Heavenly Sect, that the burial system of the Western Regions countries slowly changed. ”

"The 10th century AD, that is, the period of war and chaos in the Central Plains of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, is precisely the beginning of the history of the Jingjue Kingdom that is about to be erased."

Professor Yu added in a timely manner.

Combined with the historical background, it seems that Lin Yi's assumption does have some truth.

"In the later stage, in order to continue to consolidate their position among the countries of the Western Regions, the Elite Kingdom resorted to such a set of tricks of gods and ghosts: they gave the burial methods that should have belonged to the queens of the Elite Kingdom to the royal families and nobles of these small countries, allowing them to soar to the immortal realm.

In the minds of the people of the Exquisite Country, the snake sheds its skin once, which is an opportunity to be reborn.

So they embellished so many jade pieces on their burial clothes to replace the snake molt.

Of course, they need to bring their own expensive funeral clothes. When these nobles and family members of the Western Regions countries stepped into this coffin with the idea of a snake molting into a feather, they were greeted either by illusion or death. ”

Lin Yi walked up to the coffin and reached out and knocked on the coffin board.

"The reason why this coffin was not sealed is to prove to others that these people who entered the coffin have indeed disappeared."

Hearing this, Bai Lu immediately reacted.

"Actually, did these people fall into the dark compartment under the coffin? Under the illumination of fluorite, they will see the mysterious symbols on the coffin board, and after being hit by the 'Nightmare Curse", they will be completely asleep in the dark grid, and the family members outside will think that they have turned into immortals and gone to the heavenly realm! ”

Lin Yi gave him a thumbs up.

"That's what it means!!"

"If they don't want people to come out, why would they design a mechanism inside for people to escape?"

Lin Yi shook his finger.

"This question has been bothering me just now, until I saw the content of this relief just now, as well as the analysis and explanation of several experts before, which made me instantly understand that when I was buried, there were already people in this dark grid."

"Anyone?"

Everyone suddenly became nervous, and they all walked away from the coffin.

Lin Yi smiled helplessly and said:

"I mean, there were people back then, but now there's nothing but a dried corpse. I've been wondering what the purpose of this secret passage is set aside, but now I understand!

Let the people who have been settled in advance go out.

This person has two functions in the dark grid, one of which is to ensure that the person who falls into the dark grid has a 'nightmare curse', and is completely lost in the 'illusion' until he really dies, and if there is an accident, he will go up to mend the knife to ensure that this secret will not leak out.

Second: Take away the priceless funeral clothes. ”

When everyone heard this explanation, they couldn't help but start a gossip discussion.

"Isn't the country of gold known as the 'country of gold', can you still look down on these two jujubes?"

"Yes, doesn't it mean that there is still the people's fat and people's ointment that Wang Wang Mang scavenged from the Central Plains Dynasty? Can't help them from this? ”

"Why? There are other small countries in the Western Regions that provide for them every year, and during the most powerful period in the history of the Elite Kingdom, the number of people is less than a million, and it is more than enough to feed these people with their national strength. ”

It was Professor Yu who was the first to stand up and agree with Lin Yi's opinion.

"I think Comrade Xiaolin's speculation is very reasonable, we have to analyze a historical event, we must put them in the context of the times to analyze, the Elite Country has indeed been strong for a while, but Comrade Kobayashi just said that the Elite Kingdom is using their 'pressure on the bottom of the box' to appease the countries of the Western Regions, what does this mean?

It shows that their national strength is already going downhill. Xiao Song, we have discussed that the format of these coffins is too simple, remember? ”

Xiao Song nodded and immediately added.

"There are also these funeral clothes placed on the coffin board, and the selection of materials and materials are not very popular."

Professor Yu went on to say:

"That's right, we have an old saying called 'coffin book', which means the last belongings, the last savings. At this time, the Elite Kingdom can't even take out the coffin book, the dignified overlord of the Western Regions, he needs to use this kind of subordinate means to consolidate his rule, even coaxing and deceiving, how much strength do you think they have left at this time? ”

Professor Yu's explanation, everyone finally understood.

This so-called "burial of the living" and "snake moulting" is just a funeral experience project that the king came up with to save money.

Let you, mortals, experience the high-end funeral services of our Kunlun nobles, and after death, you will become immortals on the spot, and send you directly to the heavenly realm to meet the Queen Mother of the West.

The living receive one penny, and the dead receive another.

At this time, the Elite Kingdom is already at the end of its power, and in addition to using the "Snake Eye Cistanche" to demagogue, there is only the trick of abduction and deception to consolidate its position.

Then a new question arises:

Jingjue has been operating in the Western Regions for many years, and with Wang Mang's help, they all know that fighting a war is a money-burning process.

However, during the more than ten years that the "New Dynasty" ruled the Central Plains, it increased forced labor and taxes many times, and almost emptied the little money that the old Liu family had saved.

Otherwise, there would not have been an uprising of the Red Eyebrow Army and the Green Forest Army.

This money is more than enough for the elite country to dominate the Western Regions.

What's more, they themselves still have the blessing of these gods and gods, and other small countries have to weigh their own strength first, even if they want to rebel.

So what is the reason why this overlord of the Western Regions has squandered these family funds in less than four hundred years?

What about money? Where did the money go?
