"What's so good about this?" Although Chan Shiqi didn't object, there was a hint of impatience in his voice. Chen Ziyun could naturally hear what Chan Shiqi meant. He smiled apologetically and said, "These mummies are a bit strange. , It doesn’t matter if you delay for a while!”
Zen Shiqi reluctantly put down the metal rod on his shoulder. The metal rod hit the jade on the ground and made a dull "dong" sound. A white spot suddenly appeared on the jade that bore the force of the metal rod, and it was vaguely still. There is a possibility of breaking into pieces around it. It can be seen that this metal rod is very heavy.
Chan Shiqi said: "These are not siege fighters, these are prisoners or slaves." In order to allow Chen Ziyun to leave early, Chan Shiqi simply squatted down, pointed to the mummy on the ground and said: "Look at this mummy. , there are shackles on their wrists and ankles, which is enough to prove their identity. If you look at the position of the artery in his neck, there is a huge incision, indicating that this is the cause of his death. From the posture of them falling to the ground, and the jade around them, Judging from the Qinse formed by the blood intrusion, they did not die in this place, but were dragged out all the way after death. Because Yucheng was attacked, the people who dragged the corpses were busy participating in the war and had no time to deal with the remains of these corpses. The problem is, they were abandoned in this place..."
Chen Ziyun looked at Zen Seventeen blankly. He could naturally observe what Chan Seventeen said, but in such a short period of time, it was difficult for him to summarize a systematic statement like Chan Seventeen.
"You, how did you know?" Chen Ziyun was a little dazed.
"Because I have been here several times." Zen Shiqi said with obvious impatience in her tone: "This is one of the roads leading to the door of hope and destruction. I have passed by it several times before, but every time They cannot enter the dimensional space, so there is no way to find the real passage to the Gate of Hope, but these corpses are real no matter which space they are in, but in our original space, there are more corpses around!"
Chen Ziyun finally understood a little bit, but he still didn't quite understand the conversion of some issues between space and time, and could only understand half of it.
"Let's go, I know you want to ask why these slave captives encountered this kind of experience, right!"
Chen Ziyun was speechless again. Only then did he realize that Zen Shiqi could almost understand his thoughts. He smiled awkwardly and expressed his shame for his uncreative question. He lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
"When you get there, you will understand that it is actually a waste of time to tell you this now." Zen Shiqi didn't seem to have much patience.
"Okay." Chen Ziyun smiled bitterly, and finally found that Zen Seventeen was as strong as Ye Ya. However, in any case, Chen Ziyun still liked Zen Seventeen more. At least the mystery of Zen Seventeen only came from Due to her origin and the mask on her face, Chen Ziyun more often felt the kindness of Zen Seventeen, but Ye Ya, Chen Ziyun had never been able to guess what was hidden under that beautiful and delicate face. How many secrets and dangers.
Chen Ziyun carefully counted the mummies in the passage and found that there were at least two hundred corpses in the long passage. Strangely, in addition to human corpses, there were also a large number of corpses of other animals, such as huge yaks. , pigs, horses, etc., and even Chen Ziyun saw camels. Seeing this large-scale mummies, Chen Ziyun also made his own inference in his heart. The reason why these corpses can form such a large group of mummies is because of the special environment here. In addition, it is also inseparable from the corpses themselves, because he found that almost all the corpses had deep cuts on the aorta. These wounds were fatal, and it can be seen from the distorted faces of the mummies. When they came out, they found that the deceased had suffered great pain and fright before. Most of the mummies had their eyes open angrily, with the feeling of not being able to rest in peace.
Chen Ziyun came to the conclusion that the cause of death of these corpses was a large amount of bloodletting, which eventually led to death, and the only thing that needed blood was sacrifice. When Chen Ziyun guessed this, the memory of the rope bridge suddenly appeared in his mind. The vision he saw was a scene of countless living people and animals being slaughtered and bled on a sacrificial platform. When the two were combined, Chen Ziyun came to the conclusion that what he saw should be this. The tragedy that the poor mummy encountered on the sacrificial platform may not necessarily belong to this group of people, but it is consistent with what they experienced.
Chen Ziyun shook his head helplessly, filled with hatred for this bloody and barbaric method of sacrifice. He secretly thought that if he had lived in that ignorant era, he might have seen priests using such bloody and barbaric methods to express their faith. If he is pious, he will definitely become an unbeliever and make it his mission to overthrow this kind of bloodshed.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyun was full of respect for the unbelievers who had resisted. He knew very well that he looked at this issue from a modern perspective and that was why he had such emotion. If he had lived in that era, would there still be such a thing? Such courage has to be said separately. However, in an era where religion and ignorance monopolize everything, those unbelievers have risen up and declared war on the gods. Such courage and sacrifice are worthy of Chen Ziyun's admiration.
The air was full of musty smell. In addition, there was also a faint smell of corpse. Fortunately, Chen Ziyun was engaged in archeology and was already familiar with this strange smell. However, when Zen Shiqi handed him two peppermints, When he took the pill, he took it without hesitation and blocked it in his nostrils to reduce the damage caused by the smell to his sense of smell as much as possible. Now his sense of smell has the ability to distinguish subtle smells. These smells It was invisibly magnified a lot. No matter how good his resistance was, there were still times when he couldn't bear it and wanted to vomit. Fortunately, after walking a long distance, Chen Ziyun found that the space in front of him suddenly opened up, and the turbidity in the air The speed was also greatly reduced, which made him feel relieved.
Zen Shiqi also seemed to be shocked by the space in front of her. As soon as she walked out of the passage, she stopped, her eyes full of confusion. She had been to Yucheng countless times, and she was familiar with this place, but what she saw in front of her She has never seen anything before, so she also knows that this time, she has finally come to the right place. Although there is still a long way to go from the final destination, for Zen Seventeen, she is finally I was sure that I had not come to the wrong place when I returned to Yucheng this time.
"Huh..." Zen Shiqi breathed out a breath, and a faint smile appeared on his face,
