Chapter 316 The Rise and Fall of the Ancient Kingdom of Yumi

As soon as he saw the pendant with the eye pattern, Chen Ziyang's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he had found the right owner.Because of the eye-shaped pattern, he couldn't help but look at the picture a few more times.

But the hint given on the second picture is just that, except that the people on both sides dislike each other, there is no other meaning at all.I don't know what this strange woman is talking to these ragged villagers.Seeing something he was interested in appearing on the screen, Chen Ziyang hurried to the front of the third picture.

The third picture is basically the same as the previous scene, but there are two places in the picture that are very different from the previous second picture.The first place is the movement of this strange woman.

In this picture, the woman raised her hands high, and her hands held up a gemstone that was emitting light. A clear spring flowed from the gemstone and gushed to the nearby ground.

The second difference is the surrounding villagers. All the people are still standing in their original positions. Chen Ziyang even found that the positions of these villagers have not changed, but the expressions on the faces of all the people have changed. up.All of these people widened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise.The delicate lines on the pattern vividly depict the astonished expressions of this group of people.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang has roughly guessed the content of the first half of the story painted on these steles.Just as I guessed, it is very possible that this story is about the reason why the ancient country of Yumi was able to become an ancient oasis country and dominate one side. It should be related to this gem that can conjure water out of thin air.

However, there is a detail in this picture that makes Chen Ziyang feel a little strange, that is, when the woman is holding up the gemstone, her buttocks become very big, which looks very awkward.

Originally, this woman's figure was very good, and it was perfectly portrayed by the lines on the stone tablet. It can be seen that she has a graceful figure, a willow slender waist, and the proportion of her figure is also very perfect, but when it comes to this picture , but this woman's buttocks are a bit exaggerated.

The woman's upper body is very uncoordinated with her enlarged buttocks. It looks like an "h" shape. Let alone putting a glass of water on this woman's buttocks can stand upright, even putting a washbasin can also be used Hold on, this big hip is a bit exaggerated.

"Could it be that this woman became like this when she cast a spell with this diamond? Or is this just an exaggerated description of her actions?" This is what Chen Ziyang thought when he saw this exaggerated buttocks just now .

With this question in mind, he looked at the next picture.In this picture, the woman has regained her graceful posture, but this time, she is only holding the diamond with one hand, and there is no water gushing out of the diamond.At this time, all the villagers were no longer standing there. All the people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to this woman.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyang knew that this woman had become a god in the hearts of these people who lived on the edge of the desert and suffered from drought.A person who can conjure water out of thin air will undoubtedly be regarded as a god-like existence in the desert and will be enshrined.

Now he figured it out, it turned out that these jars on the ground were offering sacrifices to the woman in the painting.Thinking of these jars, Chen Ziyang turned around and glanced at Yang Lei who was sitting on a pile of jars.

The current Yang Lei is like crazy, he keeps turning the small jars upside down, trying to use the space in his backpack rationally, and try to put as many jars into it as possible.

And before putting each jar in his backpack, Yang Lei would carefully wipe the surface of these jars, wanting to see if there were some patterns or other patterns on the jars. The jar was carefully put into the backpack by him, as if it had been possessed by a demon.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyang scratched his head, feeling sorry for Yang Lei.In fact, he is not very sure whether these jars are worth money.Although the history of pottery pots in the Western Han Dynasty is relatively long, there are many handed down.And the most important point is that if these clay pots want to be sold at a price, they must have a good appearance.

Only pottery pots in good condition can be called high-quality goods, and can be sold at a good price in the collection market, but the pottery pots in front of the stele have been exposed to the air for too long, and these pottery pots are very weathered. Seriously, it's almost impossible to find a few products that are better.

Even if there are a few blanket jars that are relatively complete, there are some cracks in the corners, and even some jars are severely weathered, and they shatter into a pile of sand grains when they are squeezed with a little force.

Seeing that Yang Lei cared so much about these rags, Chen Ziyang felt a little sorry for him. After all, he just wanted Yang Lei to calm down, so he said those words in line with Xiao Ren's words.

But this is harmless, after all, Yang Lei has calmed down now, and he no longer slams these pots and jars on the ground, which can be regarded as his goal has been achieved, even if these jars are worthless, they will not cause any harm to him.Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang held a trace of apology, turned his head and continued to look at his stele carvings.

The style of the next picture changed suddenly. The dilapidated small village before was gone, replaced by neat houses and small saplings all over the picture.It seems that after getting this diamond that can produce water, the whole village has undergone tremendous changes.

The previous villagers are no longer in rags.Rows of women are neatly dressed, walking forward with clay pots on their heads, while the men around them are all shirtless, using some materials to build some new houses, and some people are digging a huge one in front of the village. pit.

The next picture depicts a relatively prosperous small town. The streets of the small town are crowded with people, and some people with street stalls form a small market.Groups of merchants leading camels were walking through the market.

The number of houses in the picture has also increased a lot. At the same time, the small trees that appeared in the previous picture have also grown a lot taller. The hole on the ground has been dug very big. There are many people building this contiguous house.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang carefully recalled the layout of the ruins of the ancient Yumi country on the ground. He felt that the position of this big pit seemed to be the position of the circular stone platform and stone pillars where the diamonds were placed. A piece of the house under construction should be the imperial palace of the ancient kingdom of Yumi.

When he saw the next picture, Chen Ziyang verified his guess. A group of palaces with unique styles appeared in the center of the picture, and there were many other houses on the picture.

All the houses are surrounded by green trees, and the location of the big pit has become a fountain pattern, which is similar to the one painted by a little girl that Chen Ziyang saw on the broken wall of the imperial palace site. The pattern is exactly the same.

A man and a woman in gorgeous clothes were standing at the gate of the palace. From the decorations on the two people, Chen Ziyang guessed that these two people should be the king and queen of the ancient kingdom of Yumi.

It's just that there is one thing that makes him feel very strange. This queen is not the woman who took out the diamond before. The two people are completely different in terms of figure and clothing.

This made Chen Ziyang feel a little confused. According to common sense, if other people worship this foreign woman so much, then the status of this woman must not be low here. Even if she is not a queen, she should be a queen. Queen.

But this woman did not appear in the three consecutive pictures.Chen Ziyang was afraid that he might have missed some details, so he turned around and looked at the three pictures again.That's right, the woman disappeared and didn't reappear on the screen.

"This is really weird, where did this woman go?" With this question in mind, Chen He carefully looked at the picture in front of him again.

There are even more caravans in the ancient kingdom of Mimi. The narrow streets are crowded with camel caravans. The whole picture is full of bargaining merchants. Teams of mighty soldiers are patrolling the streets. Soldiers of the Spear are guarding the fountain in front of the palace.The diamond was placed on the top of the stone pillar, and a large amount of clear water flowed out of the diamond and flowed into the fountain pool around the circular stone platform.

Although the scenes depicted on the screen are roughly the same as what Chen Ziyang guessed before, he always felt as if he had overlooked something, as if besides the disappearing woman, there was an important clue that was also missing in this screen up.

In order to find clues about this woman, Chen Ziyang continued to look down.The next picture is a bit strange.

These previous pictures describe the earth-shaking changes that took place in the ancient kingdom of Mimi after this woman appeared in the ancient kingdom of Mimi holding a diamond.The ancient country has changed from a dilapidated small village to a trading center in the desert or on the edge of the desert.But this picture is not about the ancient country.

The pattern of a huge eye almost covered the entire picture. Chen Ziyang had seen this pattern of eyes many times before, and it should be the pattern on the pendant on the woman's chest. The pattern on the sheepskin that records the treasure of the ancient country of Yumi.

Surrounding this huge eye, there are many people lying on the ground.These people were men, women, old and young, and all of them were lying there with their eyes closed, not knowing what it meant.

"Why do these people have their eyes closed? Could it be that they are all dead?" Recalling the more than 3000 tombs before, Chen Ziyang had such a guess.

And he noticed that among these people with their eyes closed, there were two people who were standing in front of the palace before, that is, the king and queen of the ancient kingdom of Mimi.

But when Chen Ziyang saw the crescent-shaped pattern in the upper right corner of the whole picture, he figured it out.These people appearing in this picture should refer to the residents of the ancient country of Mimi. The reason why they all closed their eyes is not because they are all dead, but because they are sleeping, which is why there is The reason for a moon motif.

Recalling the strange dream he entered in the ancient tomb, he also saw the same blood-colored eyes, and Chen Ziyang understood the meaning of this picture more thoroughly.

The residents of the entire ancient kingdom of Mimi, including the king and queen, all dreamed of this bloody eye when they slept at night.After figuring this out, Chen Ziyang instantly had a creepy feeling. He didn't know why this picture gave people such a terrifying feeling. This picture exaggerated a terrifying atmosphere very prominently.

"Could it be because of that diamond?" Recalling a few things he had experienced, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very possible that this huge eye was a turning point, a turning point for the ancient kingdom of Yumi from prosperity to decline. turning point.

So he hurriedly looked at the next picture.Sure enough, this picture is no longer a scene depicting the heyday of the ancient Yumi Kingdom, but a grand sacrificial scene.

Countless people are kneeling before a huge ancient tree in the middle of the picture. These people are arranged in a triangle and divided into several layers.

At the tip of this triangle, which is also the closest to this huge ancient tree, are the king and queen of the ancient kingdom of Yumi. Some of the people behind them are dressed more gorgeously, and they should be ministers or the like. The vast majority of the triangle crowd are civilians.

But no matter whether it is the high king or the poor at the bottom, all the people worshiped this ancient tree very piously.Between the crowd and the ancient trees, there are countless altars and pots, which seem to be some sacrifices.

"Oh, this is really strange. Where did this big tree come from?" Chen Ziyang was very sure. Although there were many plants in the previous picture, those plants were very ordinary. No plant is so prominent, so tall.

Touching his chin, after thinking for a while, he patted himself on the head, "Why am I so stupid." The roots around this underground passage are exaggeratedly large, it should be from this huge ancient tree grown on.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly looked carefully at the lines around this ancient tree, trying to determine whether this ancient tree was in the underground palace where everyone was.

But the surroundings of this ancient tree were blank, only the top of the ancient tree had some curved lines connected together, which looked like clouds or something.

"Where did this ancient tree grow? It shouldn't be in the underground passage." Chen Ziyang thought.Judging from the proportions of the picture, this ancient tree is very exaggeratedly large, and it should not be able to fit in this low underground passage.
