He Siniang gave the Taoist Ghost Face some good words, and the Taoist Ghost Face was not hypocritical. He shook his head and said that he was fine. It was just that Li Tianwen died after taking poison, and he was a little regretful that he did not die in his own hands.
Stopping Li Tianwen's topic, the grim-faced Taoist priest talked about the doubts in the valley again: "Pindao has been a little confused since just now. Li Tianwen's words are true and false, but one thing can be basically concluded, that is, the Yemu clan established this cave country. , it can be estimated based on the stone houses in the city that the Yemu clan has less than a thousand people, how can they have the ability to build so many impressive buildings?"
"Yes, I saw that the stones used to build the temple are as tall as a person and weigh more than a thousand kilograms. How did they transport the huge stones up there?"
"Perhaps it was pulled up bit by bit using earthen methods." Xia Houyun calmed down and began to participate in the discussion: "Besides, we don't know how many years it took the Yemu clan to build these buildings. "
"That's true. From our perspective, the most abundant thing for the Yemu clan is probably time."
"But I don't understand something. Logically speaking, the technical level of the Yemu clan should be extremely primitive and backward. Even if they can transport the stones by local methods, it will not be easy to mine these stones, right?"
"The poor Taoist has thought about this problem and concluded that their production technology may not be very backward." The grim-faced Taoist casually pointed to the sarcophagus outside and said: "Take this thing as an example, it should appear in a 'Fruit Eater' Is it the primitive tribe that lives in caves for food?"
"I didn't quite understand what the Taoist Master said. Are you saying that there are other civilizations that have been here?"
"No, this civilization was probably developed by the Yemu clan themselves."
The Taoist priest with a grimace saw that everyone seemed to understand, so he patiently analyzed: "The Yemu clan originated in the same era as the Youchao clan. At that time, the Youchao clan had not yet invented burial burials, and Sui Huang invented it hundreds of years later. Fire, there is no such complicated class hierarchy in the tribe. It is nothing more than the difference between the clan leader and the clan members, let alone things such as divine power and religion. However, all of these have appeared in the Yemu clan, so I am a poor person. I suspect that when the Yemu clan died, their tribe’s production technology was already very advanced.”
Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. Xia Houyun said: "The Taoist priest's analysis is very reasonable. Throughout history, since the invention of the 'source of fire', the civilization process has entered a very rapid development period, and The Yemu clan may have mastered the use of fire from the volcano, thus stepping into this process in advance, and thus there are all kinds of 'miracles' we see in the deep valley."
"Well, that's why Pindao felt that the buildings at the bottom of the valley were strange and familiar when he came. What he was familiar with were those functional buildings, such as stone gates. Because 'function determines the shape', they are similar to our common stone gates, but stone houses The design of the temple is very strange, and it is completely unseen before. After all, this is another civilization, a sister civilization that can be said to have the same origin as China."
"Wow, that's it. After listening to the Taoist priest's analysis, I have completely cleared up my doubts."
"Pindao is only half-analyzing and half-guessing. After all, the Yemu clan has disappeared and there are no historical records left. We can only try to restore the past of this place based on various clues."
There was silence in the sarcophagus again. They didn't notice it while everyone was chatting, but as soon as it became quiet, the anxiety about the current situation would emerge like a tide.
The ghost head is still circling overhead. Everyone can't live like this forever, right?
After a long time, the grim-faced Taoist priest broke the silence: "I just thought about Li Tianwen's words several times and found that there seemed to be some clues hidden in the part where he described his great-grandfather, Taoist Jianghua."
"Really?!" Everyone immediately became energetic.
"It's just a guess, not a way to get out of trouble..." Taoist Priest Grimace didn't want everyone to put too much hope in it, so he hurriedly said: "I think there should be a path in the deep valley leading to the outside. Otherwise, how would Taoist Jianghua get out?"
He Siniang thought about it after hearing this. At that time, Li Tianwen did say that Taoist Jianghua lived outside, but would return to Qingleling for no apparent reason from time to time. This meant that Li Tianwen either knew other ways, or had a way to pass Lanzhu The stone gate guarded by beasts, or...
"Is there a possibility that Taoist Jianghua has never reached the bottom of the valley?" He Siniang asked.
"Ah?" Her words confused the grim-faced Taoist priest: "If he had never been to the bottom of the valley, how could he have left the manuscript containing the interior of the temple to Li Tianwen?"
"I feel this way. The first half of Li Tianwen's manuscript is very accurate, such as where is the entrance to the mausoleum, where is the lamp niche, and where is the secret passage. However, there are many errors in the records inside the temple, otherwise Li Tianwen would not be full of hope. It failed, does this mean that Jianghua Taoist actually does not know the situation in the valley, but only made a comprehensive guess based on his observations on the platform, plus his own guesses or some clues?"
"Pindao really hasn't thought about this. Isn't he cheating his descendants by doing this?"
"Now it seems that he was trying to harm his descendants, but from his point of view at the time, it was probably to leave a glimmer of hope for the family, because Taoist priest Jianghua must have discovered later that this kind of parasitic wireworm can be inherited."
"Can Taoist priests also have children?" Luo Laoqi's concerns are often different from those of normal people.
"Nonsense, do you think Pindao is a person with a pure heart and few desires?"
"Don't all Taoist priests get fired? What kind of Taoist priest can you represent?"
"A poor Taoist can give birth to a child even when he is not expelled." The grim-faced Taoist priest rolled his eyes at Luo Laoqi and said: "However, in recent years of Taoist reform, there are faint signs of dividing into factions. Those who have few desires, become a monk and practice in the hope of becoming an immortal and realizing the truth, and falsely claim to establish a new 'Quan Zhen Sect'. They are not allowed to marry and have children. However, during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period a hundred years ago, Taoist priests gave birth to children. There must be nothing wrong with it.”
"Can you two please don't let the conversation go astray?" He Siniang was helpless towards the two of them: "We are now talking about Taoist Jianghua's manuscripts. Why do you two worry so much about him having children?"
"I don't have time to worry about him! Are you stupid enough to ask? Now let's assume that Jianghua Taoist has never been to the bottom of the valley, then how did he get infected with iron wire bug?"
"The platform on the cliff is in the same space as the deep valley. Why can't you be infected by the wireworm if you stay on the platform?"
"That means Li Tianwen didn't scare us. The air in the deep valley is indeed filled with wireworms, and we are all infected."
"Yes, I have noticed something wrong with my body a long time ago, but I didn't know it at the time and couldn't think of it."
