"Gu Sect?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Qizhen Yami even asked: "Mr. Zuotian, how much do you know about this Gu Sect?"
Zuotian Ryuji shook his head and sighed: "I don't know much about these sects in China. I just know that it is one of the lower eight sects."
Qizhen Yami repeated curiously: "Xiabamen? It sounds very strange!"
Zuotian Ryuji said slowly: "According to the records in the books I read, there are three hundred and sixty industries in China, and there are eight industries that are not favored by people. These eight sects are respectively They are the Golden Gate, the Orchid Gate, the Thousand Hands Gate, the Gu Gate, the Liuzi Gate, the Red Handkerchief Gate, the Actor Gate, and the Suo Ming Gate...these eight sects together are called the Lower Eight Gates."
Hearing this, Ishikawa Suke turned to look at Ryuuji Zuoda and said, "How do you know this?"
Zuotian Ryuji touched his nose a little embarrassed and said: "Because these people were responsible for the Wuzi Rebellion back then... and I am still very interested in that period of Chinese history, so I paid more attention to it. Some."
Ishikawa Suke nodded and said: "So that's it! No wonder you can tell at a glance that the bald person just now is from the Gu sect."
Before Ryuji Ishikawa could finish his words, he interrupted him and said: "However, I feel like these people are not coming for us, they should regard us as another group of people! "
Ishikawa Suke said: "Yes! It seems that Ma San and the others should be waiting for others..."
The American next to him suddenly said: "What do the Chinese have a saying...? Oh! That's right! It's so damn unlucky to put cold water between your teeth!"
After saying this, the American looked at Ishikawa and asked, "What should we do now?"
Ishikawasuke did not answer the American's words immediately, but looked at the white stone city in front of him. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Zuotian Ryuji beside him and said: "Mr. Zuotian, what are you talking about?" We know China better, can you roughly tell the origin of this place?"
After hearing this, Zuoda Ryuuji slowly walked to the stone wall closest to him. He touched the stones on the stone wall with his hands. After a while, he slowly said: "The buildings here look a bit like Xixia." Period..." "Xixia? What dynasty was that?" The other people did not speak, but their eyes revealed this sentence.
Zuotian Ryuji took a look at everyone and said: "The real rise of Xixia was during the Northern Song Dynasty in China. Before that, they were just a small federal state, calling themselves Dabai Gaoguo. And the reason why they are willing to call themselves that, That's because the Xixia people believe that white is the purest color, so when they build houses, they will also paint the stones with white dye..."
When Zuoda Ryuji said this, he pointed at the low walls in front of him and said: "According to the description in the book, the city of Dabai Gaoguo is exactly the same as here. Perhaps it is more accurate to say..."
Qizhen Yami continued from the side: "Or to be more precise, this is part of the ruins of the city of Dabai Gaoguo."
Zuotian Ryuji nodded and said: "That's right! It is said that after the Mongols captured the ancient city of Xixia, they began to massacre the city in order to find traces of Xia Xianzong in the city... But after several days, Xia Xianzong was still not seen. The Mongols were a little anxious, so they started to set fire to the city... The fire burned for more than two months without being extinguished. If it hadn't suddenly rained heavily, we don't know how long the fire would have burned."
Qizhen Yami heard this and asked from the side: "What happened next? What happened next?"
Zuotian Ryuuji sighed: "What else can we do? After such a fire, the originally prosperous civilization disappeared from the world in an instant. It is said that many countries that have been to China, including ourselves, also sent A large number of teams went to search for traces of the ancient Xixia city, but in the end they returned without success. According to them, it was as if the originally prosperous Xixia civilization had completely disappeared from the world after the fire. ."
Hearing this, Qizhen Yami rubbed her teeth and said, "But why do the Mongols have to search all over the city for that...Xia Xianzong?"
Zuotian Ryuji turned to look at Qizhen Yami and said: "It is said that the reason why the Mongols desperately searched for Xia Xianzong was because they wanted to treat Genghis Khan who was injured at the time!"
Qizhen Yami said: "Is this Xia Xianzong a doctor?"
Zuotian Ryuji shook his head and said: "How could Xia Xianzong be a doctor... The reason why the Mongols desperately searched for him, including later sending people from various countries to search for the ruins of the ancient Xixia Kingdom, was because there was something in him..."
Qizhen Yamei opened her mouth wide when she heard this and said: "You mean, Xia Xianzong has... the fountain of youth in his body?"
Zuotian Ryuji nodded, but then he shook his head and said: "This is just everyone's guess, because there is no evidence that Xia Xianzong had the fountain of youth!"
"Looking at what you just said... are you sure this place is the ruins of Xixia?" Ishikawa Suke, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly interrupted Zuotian Ryuji, "If Mr. Zuotian is really right, Now there is a question. I would like to ask Mr. Zuotian..."
Zuoda Ryuji hurriedly said: "What is the question, Mr. Ishikawa?"
Ishikawasuke said: "Are you sure that this place is really the original site of the Xixia Kingdom? Is it possible that it was built later?"
Zuoda Ryuji turned to look at the stone wall beside him and said: "Although I am not a geologist, I can tell from my experience in history... this place does not look like it was recreated!"
Ishikawa asked: "Are you sure?"
Zuotian Ryuji said: "I'm sure!"
At this time, Qizhen Ami also said: "I can prove this! Although Mr. Sauda is not a geologist, Mr. Ishikawa, don't forget, I am a graduate student in geology from the University of Tokyo! Since we entered this area I’ve been paying attention to the structure here since the area…Judging from the degree of weathering, it doesn’t look like this place was built today.”
Qizhen Yami said here and walked slowly to the low wall, pointed at the stones above, and then said: "There is also a place like this...the white stones that can be seen everywhere here are not naturally white, but It was later painted with some kind of paint, but this kind of paint was completely immune to the invasion of wind and sand, and it still maintained its original appearance for hundreds of years. Not only that, when these people built these city walls, they followed the following general principles: , the small principles above are placed there, and the stones and the middle of the stones are filled with clay to play a fixed role. Although there is a slight tilt in some places, there is no collapse, so I think this should be The location of the lost ancient ruins of Xixia.”
