Siheyuan: Steel Mill Driver

Chapter 347 Stone Tower

He took out another bottle and shook it, then handed it to Shirley Yang and said, "You must have been scared too, drink a sip to calm yourself down."

Shirley Yang didn't hesitate to take it and drank two sips. Maybe she drank too quickly and started coughing.

Li Feng patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to snatch it from you."

Shirley Yang rolled her eyes at him, said nothing more, and walked forward.

Li Feng smiled and said, "Haha, you're quite arrogant."

The group did not rest along the way and finally crossed the Zaglama Mountains.

At this time, the long night quietly faded away and dawn broke.

The newly rising sun in the sky cast its first gentle afterglow unreservedly onto the rolling sand dunes.

The originally dark yellow sand dunes were instantly lit up, and every grain of sand seemed to be given life, reflecting the dazzling golden light, shining brightly. Looking around, it was a magnificent golden scenery, as if you were in a golden dreamland.

Ye Yixin was so moved that she almost cried and said, "It's so beautiful!"

The fat man looked at her and nodded, saying, "It's really beautiful! I never thought there would be such a beautiful view in the desert!"

Shirley Yang shouted excitedly at this time: "Look, you guys, she took out a photo from her diary and compared it with the scene in front of her."

Professor Chen walked quickly to Shirley Yang, took the photo and looked at it. The stone tower on it was a little tilted. He thought it was a problem with the shooting angle. When he saw the stone tower in the distance, he realized that it was not a problem with the shooting!

He handed the photo to Hao Aiguo and said excitedly, "Here we are!"

Hu Bayi nodded and said, "We are finally here!"

Shirley Yang shed tears and choked up as she said, "This, this is the Jingjue Ancient City!"

When Hao Aiguo saw the scene in front of him, he forgot all about fear and the black snake. He shouted excitedly, "Here, here is the long-lost Jingjue Kingdom! Hahahaha..."

The fat man looked at the ruins and said speechlessly: "Master Li, is he crazy? What's there to be sad about? I really don't understand what these intellectuals are thinking!"

"Haha, that's right, you don't understand. Otherwise, wouldn't you be the same as them?"

The fat man thought about it in his mind, then shuddered and said, "Forget it."

Li Feng stretched himself, came up to the group and said, "Okay, I know you guys won't rest at this time, so I won't say anything more. Let's continue on our way to the Stone Tower."

An Liman originally wanted to stay, but after looking at Li Feng, he sighed, and followed without saying anything.

Everyone came to the foot of the stone tower, and Anliman took the camel to a shady place.

Li Feng and the others came to the stone tower and took a look. The fat man said curiously, "Hey, I really don't understand. Why is the tower built at an angle?"

Hu Bayi said speechlessly: "Fatty, do you think there is a possibility that it was normal when it was built? So much time has passed, and the geological structure has changed, so it tilted?

The fat man said embarrassedly: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's take a quick look to see if there is any treasure inside."

He saw that everyone's eyes were a little strange, and said, "I used the wrong word. It should be, are there any valuable cultural relics?"

Professor Chen said helplessly: "Xiao Wang, for archaeology, everything here is very valuable. Even a brick or a tile has its significance. Do you understand?"

Fatty Wang…….

Seeing the fat man was frustrated, Hu Bayi said quickly, "Professor Chen, let's go in and see if we can find anything."

When Li Feng entered the stone pagoda, the first thing he saw was the stone sheep statue.

The fat man said puzzledly: "Why are the stone statues and stone towers here all black? They look eerie."

Professor Chen looked at the stone sheep statue and said, "These are made of black stone brought from Cishan, so it's normal that you think they are eerie.

The carvings on this stone pillar are so lifelike, it is clear that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen back then was quite impressive.”

As they were talking, everyone came to the second floor. Hu Bayi saw that the stone statues were different from those on the first floor, so he asked, "Professor Chen, why are the carvings on these stone pillars different from those below? What does this mean?"

"I'm also thinking about this problem, but I don't have any ideas yet. Let's go up and take a look."

Li Feng looked at the stone statue on the second floor. It was a normal stone statue.

He knew that these were ordinary human beings, whose status was only slightly higher than that of animals.

When I arrived at the third floor, I saw a stone statue that was the same as the stone statue with giant pupils in the desert army ants' nest, but it was much larger.

Fatty and Hu Bayi were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

At this moment, Professor Chen called out, "Xiao Hu, come here quickly, I have an idea now.

Generally speaking, temples are guarded by ghosts and gods, but it is completely different here. I judge that the order of these stone statues is likely to be a spiritual symbol, with obvious hierarchical characteristics, from low to high, that is, from cheap to expensive.

The first layer is livestock, and the second layer is ordinary people, including all the Lakers in the Western Regions. Their status is only higher than cattle and sheep, equivalent to slaves.

On this layer of stone pillars are giant bronze statues. According to this order, the higher you go, the higher your status will be!"

Everyone came to the fourth floor. The stone statue here was a stone statue with a snake body and a human head. The head looked like a man with fierce eyes, human hands holding a sword and a shield, and the lower body had two animal feet.

The fat man looked at the stone statue and said, "Old Hu, do you think this looks like the strange snake we saw?"

Professor Chen went on to say: “This shape exudes a kind of evil majesty, it should be a guardian angel.

There is also an eye-shaped protrusion on his head. It seems that in Jingjue culture, eyes are the source of all power. "

Shirley Yang also said: "If the eyes have such a high status in Jingjue culture, then the eyes of the Jingjue Queen may indeed have abilities that ordinary people cannot explain."

Hu Bayi asked, "Who do you think he can really see will disappear?"

Shirley Yang explained: "It is to go to another dimension."

The fat man said disdainfully: "Those are all lies made up by the ruling class."

Satipeng suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "I think there is another possibility."

The fat man directly expressed his thoughts, "The Queen of Jingjue is an alien."

"You think so, too?"

Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Because he thinks you don't have any other ideas."

Professor Chen smiled and said: "Don't laugh at him, it's not impossible. After all, there are still too many unknown areas in our world, just like superstition and science. Compared with the past, we are scientific, but for the future, we may be superstitious in many areas!

So we should not reject anything and interpret it from multiple perspectives, right? That’s how I’ve always understood it.”

Satipeng said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor."

Professor Chen encouraged me by saying, "No, I should thank you. It was your thinking that helped me broaden my horizons along the way."

The fat man went to the fifth floor. He wanted to see what the stone statue on this floor was. As a result, he saw a stone statue's base. He immediately shouted, "Hey, come and see, why is there nothing here? There is only a base but no stone statue. Could it be that this temple was not completed when the Jingjue Kingdom fell?"
