The role of "prophet" has never appeared in their experiences along the way.
What kind of person inspired the exquisite queen at that time to give up the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains and choose to build a "ladder to heaven" that wasted people and money?
This "prophet" naturally became a key figure in solving the mystery of the survival of Jingjue.
However, the reliefs and texts that wind down from here do not mention the name and true identity of this "prophet".
The historical development of Jingjue Country is also very different from the information they have now.
Looking back according to the current timeline:
During the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in the Central Plains, Jingjue Kingdom was building the "Ladder to Heaven".
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jingjue State kept a low profile and avoided its sharp edges.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jingjue State was building the "Ladder to Heaven".
During the two Jin Dynasties, Jingjue State competed for territory from other small countries in the Western Regions.
During the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, Jingjue State was building the "Ladder to Heaven".
Moreover, they chose the opportunity to build the "Ladder to Heaven" at a time when the Central Plains region was going through troubled times.
I dare not say that they get stuck every time, but if they seize the opportunity and advance into the Central Plains with force, the history of China may be rewritten.
But in fact, they happened to miss these good opportunities every time.
"So many opportunities, but not a step has been taken. In other words, they have really reaped the dividends of the Central Plains Dynasty only during the more than ten years of the existence of the 'New Dynasty'?
However, Wang Mang's digging was too harsh, but the family's support was enough, and the courtyard wall of his own house collapsed.
What kind of prophet is this? He is simply a charlatan! "
Even Xiao Song, who took the photo, found this a bit incredible.
Lin Yi became more and more confused as he watched.
But there is always a hunch in my heart that this "prophet" should be an "old friend".
The large army at the front had been circling the circular stone steps for almost an hour.
At the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing, and singing a few lines from time to time.
But as I walked, I discovered that there was always an endless road and endless steps under my feet.
Gradually everyone also shut up.
The quieter it is, the boring it is, and the boring it is, the easier it is to get tired.
At this moment, everyone’s knees were sore, their waists and backs ached, and they were feeling dizzy.
The way you go down stairs is extremely damaging to your knees.
Wang Qiang was still fat and had to rest several times during the journey. Now he couldn't hold on any longer.
Simply sit down on the steps, open your chest, and breathe heavily.
"I'm not going, I can't walk anymore, take a rest, take a rest! Damn it, now I finally know why you have to wear a blindfold when you're grinding. I'm almost going to vomit! This is worse than motion sickness. It’s still uncomfortable!”
Listening to him complaining here, others are not much better.
He was old and injured, and Abdu was covered in wounds. Every time he sweated, he was stung, and blood seeped out along the gauze.
Li Li is now changing his dressing.
Several others were either holding their knees, rubbing their ankles, or panting, sitting on the steps drinking water and resting.
It was still pitch black below, with no end in sight.
"Do you think this thing extends all the way to the ground?"
"Bah, bah, don't say anything depressing. I think we are almost at the exit."
Others don't know whether they are approaching the exit, but Lin Yi and Professor Yu know better.
The time line of the patterns and text on this relief has reached the Western Han Dynasty, and content related to Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his son began to appear.
Lin Yi once again made a surprising discovery, and he took advantage of this break to sort out the clueless information he had collected.
It turns out that these so-called "prophet" are Liu and his son.
They helped Queen Jingjue build this large Feng Shui formation, cut off the dragon veins, and allowed Wang Mang to become the Lord of the Central Plains.
The father and son were also regarded as "prophet" by Queen Jingjue.
Combined with the ending of the Liu family and his son, the previous extremely confusing time points are all correct.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the political situation was turbulent.
At that time, Liu Xiang, who compiled the "Book of Mountains and Seas", took his son Liu Xin to Kunlun in the Western Regions and met the then Queen Jingjue.
After learning about the history of Jingjue Kingdom, Liu Xiang wanted to ask Queen Jingjue at that time for the elixir of life from the Queen Mother of the West.
And Queen Jingjue said that she would pay the price for the Liu family.
Therefore, Liu Xiang reversed the fate of the country and laid out the "Four Elephants Killing the Dragon Platform" to send Wang Mang, the descendant of Jingjue Kingdom, to sit on the throne.
He was regarded as a "prophet" by Queen Jingjue.
It was not until later that they saw the snake-eye cistanche plant that they finally realized that they had been tricked by the Jingjue people.
After playing hawk all my life, I was finally pecked in the eye by a house sparrow.
Liu Xiang finally died with resentment, but Liu Xin kept it secret. Later, he changed his name to Liu Xiu and forcibly changed his destiny. He wanted to kill Wang Mang and replace him, but unfortunately he failed to do so.
However, before he passed away, he made a big cake for Queen Jingjue:
Relying on Queen Jingjue's trust in them and catering to their clan's ancient history, they fabricated this so-called "ladder to heaven."
Let them believe that if they build the "ladder to heaven", they can connect heaven and earth, ascend to heaven, and become eternal gods like the "Emperor", so that the entire tribe can be resurrected from the dead and become immortals.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Queen Jingjue believed Liu Xin's "revelation".
The successive queens of Jingjue also followed the "prophet"'s revelations seriously and strictly.
The actual situation is completely different from their imagination.
Those who can dominate the Central Plains are nothing more than time, fate, and luck.
Fortune always comes first!
As a "prophet", Liu Xin had already predicted the future direction of the situation.
Whenever the power in the Central Plains is at its most chaotic and weak, Jing Jue must follow his inspiration to "build the ladder to heaven."
As a result, several good opportunities were missed in succession.
As the saying goes, if I can't get it, you can't get it either.
In the end, the idea of letting the Jingjue Kingdom take control of the Central Plains and achieve hegemony came to nothing, completely dragging this powerful country in the Western Regions into a quagmire of eternal disaster, until it finally disappeared from the Western Regions territory.
After this analysis, the knot in Lin Yi's heart was finally solved.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a farce where you fooled me and I fooled you.
But countless innocent people were brought in to support him.
What's more, during the feudal dynasty, there were countless such things, which made people feel infinite sadness.
At this moment, the team in front had stopped again.
"Old Lin, come here and take a look! Is there a river down here?"
Wang Qiang shouted loudly from the front.
Lin Yi stepped forward quickly and indeed heard the sound of water rushing, and some water mist rose from below from time to time.
Li Li took out a few fluorescent sticks from his bag, opened them, and threw them down the steps.
Under the fluorescent light, it was vaguely visible that there was indeed a fast-flowing underground river at the bottom of the stone pillar.
The lower end of the stone pillar has been completely submerged in the river, which means that the exit at the bottom is also submerged in the river.
