Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 284

Eastern Yi language!
How come Dong Yi script appears here?

Lin Yi looked at the twists and turns of black writing on the wall and fell into deep thought.

The Eastern Yi people are one of the important ethnic minorities in China. They are mainly distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Among them, the Eastern Yi people in the Bashu area mainly live in the Langshan Mountains in the southwest.

According to historical documents of the Eastern Yi people, they are descendants of the Eastern Qiang tribe among the Chiyou Jiuli tribe. They migrated from the north and finally settled in the southwest region.

After multiplying through the ages, from the earliest branch to the later six branches, namely, Wu, Zha, Bu, Mo, Nuo and Heng.

These six tribes became the foundation for the development and growth of Dongyi.

The Eastern Yi script belongs to their internal use, and is one of the ancient pictographs. It is one of the very rare ancient scripts that can be inherited in an orderly manner.

However, Lin Yi and the others are obviously in the Meishan area, which is the center of the Xichuan Basin.

The territory of the Eastern Yi people is located in southwestern Sichuan. Could it be said that this secret passage under the Minjiang River can actually lead them to southwestern Sichuan with one pole?

"Brother Lin, what do you think this is?"

"Eastern Yi script, an ancient hieroglyphic script."

"East Yi? Isn't that the people who live in Langshan? We were swept to Langshan by the water?"

"It should be impossible. From Meishan to Langshan in ten minutes? Then why build a highway, just take the underwater passage."

While answering Chen Erwa's question, Lin Yi held up a flashlight to carefully read the words on it.

There are eight words in total, written on a huge stalactite that was artificially broken to form a smooth beveled surface.

Translated, it means "sacrifice important place, strangers should not come near".

The handwriting was written with charcoal, so it is impossible to tell the age, and the Dong Yi script has been passed down to this day, but has only been lost, not expanded. Now many Dong Yi people use a mixture of Eastern Yi script and Chinese characters.

From the literal meaning, this should be an exclusive altar set up by the Eastern Yi people.

Could it be that the "Daxi King" took advantage of his power and snatched it from the Dongyi people?
According to time calculation, when Zhang Xianzhong occupied Xichuan, the Dong Yi people in Liangshan were ruled by the chieftain Ankun family, the Dong Yi people in southern Yunnan belonged to the people of the Dian King, and the Dong Yi people in QXN were ruled by Luodian The regime rules, also known as the "Ghost Lord of the Luo family".

In particular, the Ankun chieftain family in Hangshan still enjoyed the canonization of the imperial court from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It stands to reason that the Daxi regime can't reach this far at all, not to mention the three-legged Eastern Yi, if one of them is in trouble, the other two will definitely come to support, and they will not just watch their own people being bullied.

Moreover, the Eastern Yi people have a strong folk style and are able to fight well. They have always been the targets of the border regime's scramble to win them over. Who would take the initiative to meet the bad luck of their failure?
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a reason. I could only record it with my camera, and then bite the bullet and continue moving forward.

The water under their feet was getting deeper and deeper, gradually submerging their knees. Their waists were almost submerged up to their chins, and they could only swim for a while.

Chen Erwa volunteered to explore the road.

Lin Yi repeatedly warned him not to fall into the trap accidentally like last time.

Chen Erwa responded, carried her belongings on her back, held a flashlight in her mouth, and plunged into the water.

Not long after swimming forward, I saw him "bounce" from the water, his face turned pale, and he pointed at the incoherent words under the water.

"Brother Lin, ghost, haunted, haunted, underwater."

As he spoke, he hurriedly swam to Lin Yi with his hands and feet.

"Calm down, calm down, tell me what you just saw?"

Chen Erwa swallowed her saliva, feeling something was wrong, she quickly spit out a few more mouthfuls, and then pointed to the water in front of her:
"A chain, on which is worn a bone frame, a human bone frame, which is quite long, and can open its mouth to speak."

"You dressed people up in strings? And you still opened your mouth to talk? Did you hear that?"

Chen Erwa nodded, then shook her head again.

"I saw him wearing strings and opening his mouth, but I didn't hear what he said."

Lin Yi frowned in disbelief, turned on his flashlight, turned the barrier knife backwards in his hand, and swam in the direction of his finger.

Chen Erwa followed behind him and also swam over.

After the two of them swam through several large stalactites, they found the iron chain in the middle of the water, which was seven or eight meters long, connecting from one end of the water to the other, like a chain crossing the river. Sling.

The thickness of the iron chain is about three or four centimeters, and the three strands of the chopstick-thick clasp are twisted into a twist.

Sure enough, as Chen Erwa said, there were dozens of human skeletons on it, some of which were still intact, and some of which only had a head and collarbone left.

Some only kept the upper body, and the lower body has disappeared.

Each skeleton uses a triangular buckle. After passing through the luteal bone, the upper end pierces the throat and hooks on the mandible.

The triangular buckle was hung on the iron chain, so that every skeleton here opened its mouth wide. With the impact of the water flow and the vibration of the water wave, the mouth opened and closed. No wonder Chen Erwa was frightened like that.

"What is this for, Brother Lin? Why are you hanging people here?"

"Judging from the reminder in the Eastern Yi language just now, this is the place where they hold sacrifices, so this is probably a way of sacrifice. These people may be their own people, or they may be enemies. As for when it happened, There is no way to judge at the moment.”

Although Lin Yi has some forensic skills, it is difficult to determine the time of death for this kind of skeleton that has been soaked underwater all year round.

However, judging from the results of his close observation, these people were penetrated to death by sharp objects before their death.

The mandible and collarbone were worn to varying degrees, and it is likely that they were hung alive on iron hooks before sinking into the water and drowning.

The Dong Yi people have always maintained their ancient sacrificial habits, and this sacrificial method is likely to be a way to treat prisoners of war.

Just who are these people?

Could it be those blind "Daxi Kingdom" soldiers, relying on their large number of soldiers, came here to grab territory with the Dongyi people, and then there was a firefight, and finally they were threaded into strings and made part of the sacrificial ceremony ?

There are no words on the chain, and no particularly obvious marks can be seen. The two ends of the chain are fixed on both sides by huge rivets.

After the two passed through this area one after another, the water level gradually dropped. After a few pulls, they had touched the bottom.

I stood up and walked out of the water. There was a shallow beach in front of me.

There are still traces of bonfires around the shallows, and there is a huge clay pot with a wooden lid not far away.

Lifting the lid and looking inside, there were three soaked and extremely rotten human heads inside.
