Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 168 Temple of Pillars
  When the fat man ran to the top, he found a space. He turned around excitedly and waved to everyone, asking them to get up quickly. However, he didn't pay attention to his own steps. He lost his balance and fell backwards. .

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but worry about Fatty's condition, and immediately began to speed up their pace.

When everyone ran to the highest point, they found a space below. The fat man was waving to everyone in the temple and shouted at the same time: "Everyone, come down quickly. Hurry up and don't be stunned."

Seeing that the fat man was fine, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved, and then began to slowly enter the temple.

At this time, the archaeological team was a little excited after entering the temple, and Professor Hao even shed tears of excitement.

When everyone saw Professor Hao's appearance, they could understand. After all, Professor Hao also studied the culture of the Western Regions, and the secrets of the exquisite ancient city were about to be revealed before his eyes, so he was naturally excited.

Professor Chen also said excitedly: "Xiao Bai, Xiao Hu, we finally found it."

Professor Hao saw Professor Chen like this and quickly comforted him: "Teacher, it is our unshirkable responsibility as archaeologists to bring these dusty histories back to light!"

Bai Jing also said: "Yes, Teacher Chen, isn't this exactly what you taught us? We have been pursuing the truth for so long, and we are about to solve the mystery. Teacher, we should be happy. !”

Professor Chen calmed down his mood, then nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, you should be happy!"

Then, everyone had time to look at the layout of the hall.

When the fat man saw this scene, he couldn't help but complain: "I'm not telling you, do you feel that this place is eerie?"

Professor Chen was looking at the stone pillars in the hall. When he heard the fat man's words, he also explained: "The stones used for these sculptures should be black stones transported from Cishan. It's not strange for you to think they are eerie. Plus, The stone carvings on the stone pillars above are so lifelike, it shows that the craftsmanship of these craftsmen back then was quite impressive."

Professor Hao also looked inside and said, "Teacher, look, these stone carvings seem to be different!"

Hu Bayi also discovered this, walked inside, and then looked at Professor Chen and asked: "Professor Chen, each row of these stone carvings is different. Do you think there is any meaning in it?"

When Professor Chen heard Professor Hao and Hu Bayi's questions, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought at the moment. Then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I am also thinking about this issue now, but I don't have any ideas yet."

But at this time, Bai Jing spoke seriously: "It's rank or class!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Bai Jing.

Professor Chen glanced at the surrounding stone carvings, and combined with Bai Jing's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He immediately heard Professor Chen ask: "Xiao Bai, tell me what you think? Let's discuss it together, and then we can know the truth. Is it reasonable?”

After hearing this, Bai Jing cleared his throat, then walked to the last row of stone carvings, pointed to the two stone carvings on both sides and said, "Look, the stone carvings in this row are carved with livestock. In other words, in Jingjue In this country, livestock has the lowest status.”

Then Bai Jing began to walk inside, and everyone followed suit. Bai Jing pointed his flashlight at the stone sculptures in the second row and said, "Look, the second row is filled with portraits, but the clothes of the portraits on both sides are not consistent, so they are different." It is difficult to come to a conclusion. The figures on these two sides should not be carved by Jingjue people, but by foreigners. From here we can see that the second row should represent the other thirty-six people in the Western Region except Jingjue people. In the eyes of people of this country, these foreigners are just a little bit higher than animals."

After saying this, everyone else present nodded and agreed with Bai Jing's explanation.

Then Bai Jing continued to walk forward. When he came to the third row, he shined his flashlight on the people in the third row and said, "You are looking at the stone carvings in the third row. You can see that although the stone carvings in this row are They are also statues of characters, but this row of character statues is very different from the previous row.

The eyes of these statues are very big, and based on what we saw in the tomb of Prince Gumo before, the position of eyes in Jingjue Kingdom can be said to be self-evident, so I think this row represents Jingjue people, and the status of Jingjue people in Jingjue country is naturally much higher than that of other races. "

Bai Jing continued to walk forward without stopping, and came to the fourth row of statues. Then he pointed to the statues on both sides and continued: "Look at this row of statues again. This row of statues is carved with people with snake tails. These people's left hands Holding a shield and holding a sword in his right hand, there is also an eye-like pattern on the top of his head.

Look at the tails of these statues. Do they look like the Jingjian Agama we met in the valley before? So I think this row should refer to warriors or guardians, and Jingjian Agama is probably the guardian of Jingjue Kingdom.

If my prediction is correct, the meaning of this row of statues should be the warriors or nobles who guard the Jingjue Kingdom and the black snake Jingjian Agama.

From this point of view, the status of those black snake Jingjian Agans is very high. "

This is exactly what everyone feels. They did not expect that in this Jingjue country, the status of the black snake is equivalent to that of the warrior class.

This also illustrates from another perspective the importance of eyes in Jingjue culture.

After all, the black tumor on Ahan's head looked like an eye at first glance.

Finally, everyone came to the innermost row of stone pillars. This row of stone pillars only had one pillar with nothing on it.

Seeing this scene, the fat man couldn't help but said with some doubts: "Why is there only a pier but no pillars? Could it be because it was not completed when the Jingjue Kingdom was destroyed?"

Professor Chen took a look at the indoor scene and confirmed that it must have been used here. In other words, it had been in operation for at least a period of time. Naturally, there was no reason to say that the construction was not completed.

Therefore, Professor Chen immediately rejected this possibility. So, why is there nothing in this row of stone pillars?

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing suddenly spoke.

"Do you think this represents the ability of Queen Jingjue?"

When Hu Bayi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. He couldn't help but look at Bai Jing and said, "Old Bai, you mean the imaginary number space?!"
