The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 59 The Fascinating Ancient Western Regions
Eat and drink enough.

Hu Bayi stretched comfortably, then looked at Professor Chen and said, "Professor Chen, along the way, everyone has suffered a lot, experienced life-and-death crises, and overdrawn mentally and physically.

So I suggest, rest here for a few days.After all, there is water, a place to live, and game around here, so you can store up a little. "

"I agree!"

Before Professor Chen could speak, Hao Aiguo spoke first.

He looked at Professor Chen and said, "Teacher, I know your body and have been holding on. It is relatively safe here. You can rest here for a few days. At the same time, we can also take a good look at this ruins."

Sa Dipeng immediately echoed: "It makes sense, we finally got here. Moreover, Xiye is a relatively well-known small country in the ancient Western Regions, and it should have their unique culture. We can explore it here, maybe there will be major discovery."

Professor Chen didn't object, he subconsciously glanced around and nodded with a smile: "Okay, anyway, although our main purpose is to explore the ancient city of Jingjue, we must not miss the valuable relics along the way.

In the archaeological world, the culture of the ancient Western Regions has always been relatively mysterious, and there are too few reference materials.

Since we have worked so hard to get here, let's try our best to uncover its mysterious veil and restore the truth of history as much as possible. "

At this time, the fat man suddenly thought of a question.

He couldn't help but ask out.

"By the way, that's the way Tang Monk went to learn Buddhist scriptures back then, right?"

"That's right!"

Professor Chen nodded: "Master Xuanzang set out from ancient Chang'an and entered the desert through Gansu. The route he traveled was along the ancient Silk Road. Maybe he lived in West Night City back then... "

"Then I can't figure it out. How can he, a monk with no strength to restrain a chicken, walk alone in such a dangerous desert?"

Hu Bayi glared at the fat man, and said, "Let you read more books instead of listening. Back then, this place was not like it is now. The desertification was not serious, and there were oases and lakes everywhere...

For example, the dry Lop Nur.

And Sunque River.

Later, the Sunque River also dried up, and there was no water source, and this desert of death was slowly formed.

If it was like it is now, then there must be nothing wrong with Tang Sanzang. "

"Yes, that's exactly what happened!"

Shirley Yang interjected: "Master Xuanzang wrote a book "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which talked about the customs and customs of the places he passed through.

Judging from the situation recorded in the book, the ancient Western Regions at that time were not as deserted as they are now.

There are many cities and countries along the way.

In addition to these, there are villages, market towns... So, as long as you don't get lost, a person can get supplements along the way as long as he carries a small amount of dry food and water. "

Fatty suddenly realized.

"It turns out that's the case... However, I still admire that Monk Tang. Walking alone, you will inevitably encounter wild animals, robbers and so on..."

Hao Aiguo sighed: "Hey, think about it carefully, the customs and customs of the ancient Western Regions at that time were indeed fascinating.

In fact, in Journey to the West, some of the grand occasions at that time were more or less restored.Relatively speaking, although it is not as good as the Central Plains, it also has its unique charm. "

"The ancient Western Regions became more and more prosperous because of the ancient Silk Road. There were quite a lot of people coming and going. It brought together Eastern and Western cultures, as well as local cultures. Therefore, there is an irreplaceable charm..."

When talking about the culture of the ancient Western Regions, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo got excited and talked endlessly.

Not only Xiaodie, Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng listened fascinated.

Even Gao Xing and Hu Bayi listened with gusto.

After all, Professor Chen is an expert in this field. I am afraid that no one in China can surpass him in the study of the ancient Western Regions.

From the fact that he went deep into this "desert of death" without fear of life and death, we can see his dedication and professionalism.

Amazing.

Tired from speaking, Hao Aiguo supported Professor Chen, found a relatively clean room, spread out a sleeping mat and began to rest.

Xiaodie, Ye Yixin, and Xueli Yang ran to the room with the well, no need to guess, they went to take a bath.

Chu Jian sat outside with Sa Dipeng, chatting excitedly.

An Liman watched over his camel and fell asleep.

"Gao Xing, Fatty, let's go and smoke."

Hu Bayi gave a look, and the three of them walked far away to a broken wall, and touched the smoke point.

After smoking half of it, Hu Bayi stood up and looked around, and then said in a low voice: "According to my experience, there are probably large tombs in this ruin."

In fact, even if Hu Bayi didn't mention it, Gao Xing knew it was there.

Because there is an important plot in the West Night Ruins, a group of people discovered the tomb of Prince Gumo under the well.

Both Hu Bayi and Fatty wanted to open the coffin to see what was inside.

As a result, Professor Chen refused, saying that the conditions were immature, and they had no way to ensure that the cultural relics were intact, and they could only wait for the opportunity to excavate them in the future.

But it's not all in vain.

By interpreting the murals in the tomb, they finally discovered some secrets about the Jingjue Queen...

Hearing that there is a big tomb, how can the fat man hold back?

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he asked half excitedly and half suspiciously: "Old Hu, you mean, in this ruins? Wasn't this a city before? Why is the big tomb in the city?"

"Fatty, you don't understand this..."

Hu Bayi began to show off again.

"It is the custom of the general Han people to look for feng shui treasures in the wild for burial. However, some ethnic minorities have strange burial customs.

For example, some remote grassland areas in Inner Mongolia still retain an ancient custom.

Once someone dies, the body will be thrown to the place where the wolves are infested, and the wolves will devour the body.

This is because, in their minds, a wolf is equivalent to a totem symbol.

To put it bluntly, the wolf is their enemy and their friend..."

How could the fat man believe it: "Old Hu, isn't your statement a bit exaggerated? How can a wolf be a friend of a herdsman?"

"Listen to me first..."

Hu Bayi glared at Fatty angrily, and continued to explain.

"In the 70s and [-]s, due to special reasons, there was a vigorous and unprecedented wolf extermination operation on the grassland.

Almost all herdsmen were mobilized to hunt wolves, dig out wolf dens, hand over wolf corpses, and gather them together for burning.

It has to be said that this unprecedented action was an unprecedented catastrophe for the prairie wolf.

Die to die, escape to escape.

For a while, the grassland became much cleaner, and the wolves were almost extinct. Even if there were any lucky ones who survived, they were just stragglers...

However, two years later, people suddenly discovered... without the natural enemy of wolves, the hares and wild yellow sheep on the grassland suddenly began to overrun, and they could not be wiped out.

In other words, the biological chain has been artificially destroyed..."
