Chapter 465 Altar(4000)

After hearing these words, everyone felt a little cold in their hearts.

Fang Qiong is indeed scarier than imagined, especially in terms of understanding people's hearts. She is completely watching people order food. Just imagine if it was not Wu Liang at that time, but a reckless man who didn't like to use his brain very much. It is very likely that he would directly

Then she was killed. It was precisely because she had already figured out Wu Liang's temperament and way of doing things that she dared to take such a risk.

This can be regarded as an extraordinary talent.

It's a pity that she was born in the wrong era and in the wrong place...

The middle-aged man looked at the reaction of Wu Liang and others, but smiled again, and then said: "Not to mention that girl, what I am most puzzled about now is your purpose. Originally, I thought you came here.

, because I captured that girl and then learned the secret of the altar from her, so I came here in pursuit of 'immortality', but now it seems that is not the case, why are you here?"

"altar?"

Wu Liang immediately noticed another key word in the words.

Obviously, the "altar" mentioned by the middle-aged man is the "Tomb of the Sun" recognized by Wu Liang and later archaeological circles. The middle-aged man called the "Tomb of the Sun" like this. Could it be that the "Tomb of the Sun" is not a cemetery at all, but some kind of

Special sacrificial site ruins?

At the same time, this keyword is enough to prove that the middle-aged man has a very clear understanding of the "Tomb of the Sun" and he is the key figure in unlocking the secret of the "Tomb of the Sun".

"To be honest, we are just historians pursuing the truth. Therefore, compared with 'immortality', we are actually more interested in the little-known deeds behind the altars."

Wu Liang followed the middle-aged man's words and said, "It seems that you know a lot about the altar. I would like to ask you about your identity. Can you please enlighten me?"

"I see...there are not many historians like you."

The middle-aged man smiled vaguely, but did not continue to delve deeper. Instead, he continued, "Since you asked, I have nothing to hide. In fact, I have many identities, so many that some of them have already been

I can’t remember, so why don’t I just tell you a recent identity that you should have heard of. People in Shanshan Kingdom now call me...the First King of Loulan."

"!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Hu army was shocked again.

They all know more or less the biography of the First King of Loulan, and the records are quite detailed, even including the time of the death of the First King of Loulan, the specifications and method of burial.

But now there is a living person claiming to be the "First King of Loulan"?

Even if there is a "Sun Tomb" that can continuously "resurrection from the dead", everyone knows that this is very likely to be true, but they are still a little shocked in their hearts.

Of course, it was more of an accident...

"So, you were the one who led the people to build Jianni City and founded the Loulan Kingdom hundreds of years ago?"

Yu Ji couldn't help but ask with his eyes wide open.

"Yes, that happened several lifetimes ago. By the way, the stories in the biographies were actually written by me myself. The deeds in them are half true and false, just to hide my identity and origin. They cannot be fully trusted.

"

The middle-aged man nodded, looked at Wu Liang and said, "But what you are most interested in should be my first identity, right? It's the things related to those altars, right?"

"Please show me."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

"Then in exchange, you need to make an agreement with me first. After listening to what I have to say, you will remove my body from the wooden coffin and destroy it. Can you agree?"

The middle-aged man asked again with a smile.

"Okay, I promise you."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Get ready. Let's talk as we walk. By the time I finish speaking, we will be almost at the altar."

The middle-aged man did not question Wu Liang's integrity and spoke generously without the slightest concern.

It is said that Fang Qiong is a master of insight into people's hearts, so why not a middle-aged man?

Definitely better than that.

It should be noted that through carbon 14 dating, the "Tomb of the Sun" is at least 3,800 years old from later generations and about 2,000 years old from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And judging from the middle-aged man's tone, he is obviously the owner of the "Tomb of the Sun".

In other words, even if he continues to resurrect from the dead, life after life, as long as he can inherit his memory, he can be regarded as having lived for about 2,000 years, and a person with 2,000 years of memory and experience,

I don’t know how many people and man-made disasters I have seen, and it is extremely difficult to deceive him even through my belly.

In addition, he had already secretly observed what Wu Liang and others were doing in Shanshan Kingdom, and had some understanding of what they were doing in the Tomb of the Sun, so he had already made his own judgment in his mind.

Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to show up to meet Wu Liang and others and openly admit his identity?

besides.

Wu Liang and others actually have one more thing to rely on him, and that is how to get out of this strange world. So far, they still have no clue...

"Wait a minute!"

Just when the middle-aged man felt that the two sides had reached a consensus and was about to walk out of the dormitory, Wu Liang suddenly stopped him.

"Is there anything else?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Do you feel that I am about to help you with a practical matter, but you just told me a story that I don't know whether it is true or not, and I am slightly at a disadvantage?"

Wu Liang chuckled.

"?"

The middle-aged man was even more surprised. He thought he had seen through Wu Liang before, but now he couldn't understand him.

"After all, you are good at making up stories. You can even make up your own biography. It's easy to make up a story to fool me, but I have no way of verifying it."

When he said these words, Wu Liang was completely hesitant to speak.

"Are you afraid that after helping me with something, you will be trapped in this world and unable to leave?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and immediately understood Wu Liang's intention.

"I don't mean that, but if you insist on thinking so... then let it be."

Wu Liang admitted with a shy face.

He had made up his mind. Now that a middle-aged man was asking for something from him, he could naturally make some requests that were not too excessive, not to mention requests that were related to the fate of everyone in the Hu army.

"I underestimate you. I'm afraid even the shrewdest businessmen in Jianni City are not as good at bargaining as you."

The middle-aged man glanced at him with disdain, but he was not really angry. Instead, he took a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Wu Liang. As he threw it, he said, "Take it! In fact, in recent decades,

, this world has a loophole for some reason, and the black dragon storm is caused by this loophole, so every time before the black dragon storm comes, occasionally there will be unlucky people who enter this world inexplicably, but it is a pity that most of them

No one can leave alive, and after death, the corpse will inexplicably go outside. The rumor that you have inquired about before about the group of businessmen who accidentally entered the mysterious ancient city came from this. They are relatively lucky, only two people died.

There are still some people who can leave alive to tell the story, but most of the remaining people are not so lucky. No one knows what happened to them. When people find their bodies, they will only think that they unfortunately died in a sandstorm.

.”

"Back to the subject, in fact, when the next black dragon storm attacks, you only need to go back the way you came, walk between the two huge stone tablets with writings on them, and then leave on your own... But you don't want to wait, so take it

Bring this jade pendant. You don’t have to wait for the black dragon to attack. You can pass between the two huge stone tablets at any time and walk out smoothly. In addition, as long as you bring this jade pendant, you will be able to enter the camel grave next time.

When the time comes, you can also return to this world."

"Thank you..."

Wu Liang took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. The workmanship of this jade pendant was very rough. At first glance, it seemed that it was not polished and carved with the craftsmanship of this era.

And the shape is also very strange. It is a small yellowed cylindrical jade bar with some unclear lines engraved on it. One end is thick and the other is thin. It looks like a small bamboo shoot or corn cob.

But Wu Liangliang knew clearly that bamboo shoots would not grow in this place, let alone corn. That stuff was a unique crop in South America and was not introduced to China until more than a thousand years ago, so this small jade pendant

He really can’t tell what the shape is...

So Wu Liang raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man.

"I can tell you, this is actually a fish."

The middle-aged man had already seen through Wu Liang's thoughts and said without asking him to speak, "You may also want to ask why this jade pendant can connect to this world, and what is so special about it? I can tell you.

, it was actually taken from my corpse, as for where it was taken from, you probably don’t want to know.”

"..."

Wu Liang instantly thought of the extremely popular "Nine-Aperture Jade" nowadays. As this kind of cylinder has such a thick "Nine-Aperture Jade", there is only one place for a man to fit it...

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of disgust on his face. Then he took out a piece of linen and wrapped the jade pendant in layers, and washed his hands with the shochu he brought with him.

In the eyes of many people, "Nine-Aperture Jade" should be a funeral custom unique to the Celestial Dynasty. Especially in the Han Dynasty, it reached its peak, and jade clothes with golden threads came into being.

"Huang Chang Ti Cou" has become a standard accessory for the royal family and princes and nobles. It is not only a symbol of status, but also a vision of immortality and future rebirth.

But in fact, in addition to the Celestial Dynasty, there are similar customs in the Western Regions and further afield. For example, Egyptian mummies will also stuff some valuable things into their corpses.

Therefore, the middle-aged man’s statement may also be true...
