Chapter 124 Ancient Pagoda Mysterious Ancient Text

Yang Saonian glanced around, his eyes panicked, he reached out and grabbed my sleeve tightly: "Xia Xiaojian, let's go quickly, I always feel that this place is eerie, so don't get separated from them .”

I glanced at Yang Saonian, then turned my head to look in the direction of the pagoda, and there were indeed no other people.

"Let's go."

Yang Saonian was right, the place feels desolate and dead, and the terrain is quite complicated, so you must not leave the team easily.

We trotted all the way up to the high platform of the pagoda, and entered the first floor of the pagoda. There were a few light spots shining in the dark inside, and we could vaguely hear the conversation between Fengzi and Miss Ding.

It was completely dark, and the pagoda was even more gloomy. Yang Saonian turned on the flashlight, and the two of us walked over looking for the few spots of light.

The pagoda has been eroded by the wind, and some adobe altars can be vaguely seen inside. There are murals everywhere around the walls, most of which are mainly images of gods and Buddhas, and there are some farming and the like. The pattern, the facial features of the characters are faintly visible, and the postures are vivid, but the age is long, and the overall color looks dull and old.

When Yang Saonian and I walked over, other people were looking at the patterns on the wall with their backs to us. Lao Lai turned around and said, "You can see patterns related to Buddhism everywhere. The height of the pagoda is about It is the tallest building in the entire Loulan city, which shows that the Loulan kings of the past are likely to be loyal Buddhists."

Miss Ding said: "The ancient city of Loulan was prosperous and the Han Dynasty was an important hub of the Silk Road. In addition, Buddhism began to rise in the Han Dynasty. When it was spread eastward, it was spread from the Loulan Kingdom. It is not uncommon for people here to embrace Buddhism. , Loulan Kingdom was once prosperous at that time, but it is a pity that for some unknown reason, it suddenly declined, and even today, its disappearance is still a mystery that cannot be solved."

I have checked some information about the ancient city of Loulan. It is said that the decline of the ancient city of Loulan is due to the massive destruction of nature by people, which caused the river to gradually dry up.In the end, the entire Loulan country was killed.

"Come and take a look." Yang Saonian's startled breath caught everyone's attention. He was standing in front of the altar in the center of the Buddhist hall. We heard his shout and followed closely.

I asked: "What's wrong?"

Yang Saonian glanced at everyone, reached out and wiped off a layer of dust on the platform, revealing a stone tablet on the bottom floor with some strange ancient characters on it.

Fengzi murmured: "This seems to be words."

I also stretched out my hand up and down to clean up all the thick layer of soil on the stele, and at this time I could clearly see rows of neat characters on it: "Yes, it's characters, maybe they are exclusive characters of Loulan Kingdom. "

Yun Muchen who had been standing behind him suddenly interrupted: "It's Lu Wen."

Others looked at a loss when they heard the three words "Ku Luwen". Among them, besides Yun Muchen, I may be the only one who is familiar with these three words.

I opened my mouth to help you clear up your doubts: "Khalu script originated in India. In ancient times, there were two popular languages ​​in India, one was Brahmi script and the other was Khalu script. The former involved a wider range of people, up to The emperor down to the ordinary people are accustomed to using the Brahmi script. Over time, the Brahmi script was gradually replaced by the Brahmi script. However, the Khar script has always been very popular in Buddhism. Many Buddhist scriptures were copied from the Kash script. It was spread eastward to East Asia and western China, and this kind of writing may have followed suit."
