Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 160 Interpretation of Murals
  Bai Jing nodded when he heard Professor Chen's comments and said with a smile: "Yes, the craftsmanship displayed on this mural, even among the many ancient murals I have seen, can be considered superior. Let's Even just based on the mural, one can clearly understand the characters and events in the painting.”

With that said, Bai Jing stepped forward and smelled it, and then continued: "This place is located in the desert, and the climate is extremely arid. Even though this tomb is near the water, because of the animal skins at the entrance stone door, and the texture of the tomb above, The isolation makes this tomb extremely dry, which is why these murals are so well preserved."

After hearing this, Professor Chen also laughed and said: "Yes, that's it, but this is also beneficial to our archaeological research findings. This is a good thing."

Afterwards, everyone walked to the second mural, and Professor Chen continued to explain: "This mural is about Prince Gumo asking to see Queen Jingjue and wanting to reduce taxes for his subjects, but Queen Jingjue rejected him. Despite his request, he was not received.

Prince Gumo is actually the incarnation of the Sun God of War. The rejected Prince Gumo did not give up, but sneaked into Jingjue Kingdom alone, intending to assassinate Queen Jingjue. As a result, he also discovered a shocking truth. secret. "

After reading this, Professor Chen couldn't help showing a puzzled expression, and Professor Hao couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, teacher, is there something wrong with the mural?"

Professor Chen waved his hand and then said: "No, it's just that this painting is too weird. This Prince Gumo is spying on Queen Jingjue in the corner. In the previous murals, Queen Jingjue appears every time. She is wearing a veil, but this painting is different. Queen Jingjue only shows a silhouette, but does not wear a veil.

You see, Queen Jingjue in this mural lifts up her veil with one hand, and opposite Queen Jingjue in the mural, there is another person. This person looks like a slave or something. Following the content on the mural, this person becomes... became blurry and finally disappeared, this”

Obviously, Professor Chen couldn't understand what kind of power this was and how it was achieved.

When Shirley Yang heard Professor Chen's interpretation, she suddenly said: "I think this queen should be a banshee."

Professor Chen was not an atheist. Hearing Shirley Yang's words, he couldn't help but become interested and immediately said, "Tell me what you think."

When Shirley Yang heard this, she did not hide her thoughts, but said directly: "Of course, I am just guessing, but my guess is not groundless. My father used to like to read a book called "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" This book was written by the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty.

I have read this book several times, and this book records many legends about the ancient Western Regions. One of them is about the legend of the Queen of the Desert, which impressed me deeply. "

Hearing what Shirley Yang said, Bai Jing seemed to have thought of something and said, "Ms. Yang is talking about a city deep in the desert. In this city lives an underground nation. They rule All the surrounding small countries.

After hundreds of years, the throne was passed to the last queen. According to the book, it is said that this queen's eyes can open the passage to the underworld. She even only needs to look at her enemies. It will disappear into thin air.

As for where the disappeared people went, no one has ever known. "

Hearing what Bai Jing said, Shirley Yang also looked at Bai Jing and asked, "Mr. Bai has also read this book?"

Bai Jing nodded and smiled: "We archaeologists often verify or debunk legends, so we often read a lot of legends about various places." Shirley Yang understood this, This is normal, but then Shirley Yang asked: "So, Mr. Bai, where do you think these disappeared people went?"

When Fatty heard Shirley Yang's question, he immediately said without thinking: "Where else could he have gone? Isn't he dead?"

When Shirley Yang heard this, she turned around, looked at the fat man and said, "If you die, there should be bones, but if you disappear, there will be nothing."

Ye Yixin and Sa Dipeng were more curious about the continuation of this story at the moment, and immediately asked curiously: "What next, what next?"

Shirley Yang looked at Bai Jing after hearing this, and Bai Jing motioned for the rest of you to come. Shirley Yang was not pretentious and continued: "The queen adopts a high-pressure rule. She wants all the people in neighboring countries to regard her as the true god. She was worshiped in the same way, and all those who dared to resist her were executed. Perhaps because her actions offended the gods, the queen died of a strange disease within a few years of suffering.

Although she died, the slaves and several neighboring countries who were oppressed by the queen formed a coalition army. The coalition forces bloodbathed the queen's royal city and destroyed it. Later, the coalition forces also wanted to destroy the queen's mausoleum. As a result, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color. The terrible wind and sand swallowed up the royal city and the coalition forces, and the Queen's mausoleum and the treasures she collected were also annihilated under the yellow sand.

From then on, once a passerby takes away a piece of property here, a sandstorm will occur and the person will never be able to leave the desert. However, this book does not record the location or age of the queen or the coalition forces in this story. "

After listening to Shirley Yang's words, Sa Di Peng couldn't help but look at the murals and said: "The murals in this ancient tomb have many similarities with the legends told by Professor Bai and Miss Yang. I think there must be a connection between them. What connection exists.”

Sa Di Peng's words were also the words of everyone present.

In fact, according to chronological calculation, it is impossible for Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty to have met Queen Jingjue, so the content in this book of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is most likely what Xuanzang heard from the locals when he passed by.

Bai Jing remembered some stories An Liman had told.

The black sandstorm will drown all those who want to take away the treasure, or as long as they take even one gold coin here, they will never be able to leave the scope of the black sandstorm.

Are there some similarities in this?

Everyone then looked at the mural. The mural recorded that the prince's assassination was unsuccessful, so he returned to the country and continued to plan how to get rid of the queen. As a result, he met a fortune teller from a distant country. The prince hid a specially prepared poison in the flesh of the golden lamb and presented it as tribute to the queen.
