Chapter 126 The coup d'état thousands of years ago
I held up a flashlight, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the statue in front of me seriously. The man on it ran and ran out, holding a bow and arrow. It was obvious that it was the shape of a warrior at that time. Maybe this man was the leader of the tribe or a hero in a sense. My historical knowledge, except from books, probably came from the casual mention of my grandfather and second uncle. Therefore, I knew very little about this content, and I had no way to verify who this person was, and of course I was not interested.
I turned to look at Annaduo, "Have you seen such a stone statue before?"
Anado shook his head, "No, I've never seen it before!"
After hearing An Naduo's answer, I had to nod my head helplessly. At this time, I heard An Naduo continue, "But why do you think something is wrong with this statue!"
"Is that?" Annaduo's words immediately resonated with me, "I also think it's very strange! But I can't tell where it is?"
So we two stood in front of the statue, concentrating on the appearance of the statue.
Suddenly, Anado pulled me, "Hey! Squat down!"
"Squat down?" I don't understand why, "Why should I squat down?"
"Oh! Hurry up!" As he said that, he reached out and pressed me, "A big man, mother-in-law, I'll even trample you to death!"
I had no choice but to squat down obediently, and Annaduo raised her foot and stepped on my shoulder. Although Annaduo had a good figure, she was definitely not the thin and dry type. She belonged to the slender area and the plump area, so the weight she ordered was really not light. It was really difficult for me to step on it.
Anado stood on my shoulder for a while, and then even lit her toes. The toe of her shoes was exactly on the upper edge of my shoulder blade. Now I couldn't bear it anymore, "I said, sister, you should hurry up! Is there any result?"
Anado said on it: "I think there is something wrong with its face! Stand up straight!"
"What!" I wiped the sweat from my face, gritted my teeth, and squatted hard.
At this time, the walkie-talkie in my pocket rang, "Zhuran!Zhuran! Haven't you found me yet?"
I took out the walkie-talkie with great effort, "Yuan, Yuanxiao, wait a little longer! I have something to do! Contact me later!"
Soon the sound of Lantern Festival came back, "Zhuoran, are you okay? What are you doing when you are panting?"
I held the walkie-talkie in one hand and supported my legs with the other. There was an Anado on my shoulder. I almost couldn't hold on anymore, so I said angrily: "We have some situation here. Don't ask around. Let's talk about it later!"
"Something is happening?" Lantern Festival seemed to be endless, "What's the situation? What about Annaduo?"
I shook the sweat on my head and said subconsciously: "Anado is on me!"
"On you?" Yuanxiao's tone was filled with surprise, "I'll go, then you? You two..."
I immediately understood what Yuanxiao's dirty head was thinking again, and cursed, "I'll go, your uncle!" Then I turned off the walkie-talkie and stuffed it back into my pocket.
I raised my head and looked at An Naduo above, "I said, "Sister, if you can't handle it, I will be trampled to death by you!"
"I saw it, I saw it!" Anado's voice came from above, with a surprise in his tone.
"What did you see?" I asked.
"The eyes of this statue were dug out!" Anado said.
"Digging out the eyes?" This situation puzzled me. Why did I dig out the eyes of a statue? And who did it?
I was thinking, and suddenly I felt Annaduo's body begin to tilt to the side. Gradually, all her weight was pressing on my shoulders, causing my center of gravity to shift involuntarily. I was about to stand unsteadily, so I quickly shouted to Annaduo above: "Hey! Sister, what are you doing! Alas!!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I could no longer support it and fell to the ground. Anado on my body also exclaimed and fell down, but her reaction was still very agile. She immediately rolled on the ground as soon as she landed, and squatted steadily on the ground.
Annado stood up and patted the dust on his body, "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" I jumped up, "I want to ask you what's going on? Just stand, why are you shaking?"
Anado immediately clapped his hands, "I have made a major discovery! Something must have happened here back then, come to see this." As he said that, he brought me to the back of the statue, pointed at it and said, "Look at it!"
I looked in the direction she pointed, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I found a stone axe stuck in the back of the statue!
I originally thought that the stone axe was carved together with the statue, showing the scene of a man who bravely killed the enemy and finally died with great utmost. But under the guidance of Anaduo, I was surprised to find that the stone axe was not carved on it at all, but was cut in by someone at the time!
This situation is simply unbelievable. What kind of force and speed is this that can make a stone axe chop into a stone sculpture. And I think the person who does this must have a deep hatred with the prototype of this statue. It seems that what happened here back then was much more complicated than we thought.
Anado looked at the statue and pondered for a while and said, "I guess there must have been a coup here that year!"
I looked at her with great interest and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Anado said slowly: "You think, the person who can be built must have a prominent identity, not a tribal leader, but a tribal hero. He must be the ruler at that time. The person who dares to destroy this person's statue must be his opposite, so it is very likely that a coup occurred."
I couldn't help but admire Anado's meticulousness. What she analyzed was indeed very reasonable. So I said, "Well, it's very likely that this is the case. Moreover, the person who cut off this axe must have a deep hatred with the people on the statue. It's very likely that he was persecuted by the forces where the people on the statue are located, maybe it was a civilian slave at the bottom, or it could be other forces in the tribe. Look how cruel the back of the statue was cut down!"
Anado nodded, "But it's not just this axe, you look at the statue's eyes."
I couldn't help but frown, "You mean the statue's eyes were dug out? But what does this mean?"
Annaduo told me that there is a saying among them that after a person dies, the soul still exists. He is made of stones and uses eyes as the way, and one day he will return to his hometown. The general meaning is that after a person dies, if he carves his body with stones, he will be able to communicate with his soul one day, and the way to communicate with the soul is the eyes of the statue.
I asked, "That is to say, the person on the statue died, so the forces that had been oppressed by him began to take revenge, wishing to smash his soul!"
Anado nodded, "I think this is the case?"
"But," I looked around, "If it was a coup, there would inevitably be a fight, and there was nothing here except this statue, and it seemed very peaceful."
Anado pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe after the battle, the victorious party cleaned up."
But I shook my head, "If you want to clean up, no matter which side wins, the first one should clean up should be this statue. So the current situation shows two things. First, this is not the focus area of the struggle between the two sides. Second, after this coup, the Nether Clan has reached a dead end and has no time to care about anything else."
Anado nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.
I sighed, "Okay, these are not things we should test. One day, we will see the light of day again. This will be a huge topic left for archaeologists. Let's go!" I patted Anado's shoulder and then left the statue and continued on.
However, what we didn't expect was that two channels appeared at the end of this space. This situation made me lose my mind.
But when I walked to the entrance of the two passages, I found that there was actually a difference between them. Although there were indeed murals in both passages, and the murals were all drawn. However, all the eyes in one passage were open, while the eyes in the other passage were closed.
This situation is easier to deal with. Just ask Lantern Festival and you will know everything.
I took out the walkie-talkie from my pocket. As soon as I turned on the switch, the voice of Lantern Festival full of resentment immediately came out: "Zhuoran! Your uncle!! Point to sex over friends! Don't care about me! Just care about myself! I received a reply!"
Anado was still next to me, and I was worried that he would say anything too much, so the scene would be awkward. So I seized a gap and quickly said to Yuanxiao: "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me quickly! Are the eyes in the passage where you are open or closed?"
Yuanxiao replied quickly, but did not answer my question: "Hey! You are done with your kid! You are too unfavorable! You have a beautiful woman as your company, and I am alone, lonely and cold!"
After Lantern Festival said that, I quickly cursed: "You tm answer my question quickly. If you have so much nonsense, just stay by yourself!"
"Dede!" said Yuanxiao, "Wait for me to take a look...the eyes on the murals on my side are open, come on!"
I asked Yuanxiao to wait patiently, and then walked towards the passage where the mural was opened. But as soon as I reached the entrance of the passage, Anatu suddenly asked to go and make some convenience. I nodded without thinking.
But while I was waiting for Anaduo at the entrance of the passage, I turned my head inadvertently and suddenly saw a flashlight coming from the passage when we were coming.
