There are too few records about the 36 countries in the Western Regions in history, especially the Jingjue Kingdom, which is almost blank! !
My understanding of the 36 countries in the Western Regions is limited to the fragments of official history and miscellaneous talks in unofficial history.
These miscellaneous talks were basically written by some traveling merchants after the Western Han Dynasty opened the Silk Road and traveled through the Western Regions. They actually recorded some folk customs and customs of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Among them, there are some records about the Jingjue Kingdom among the 36 countries, but these records do not record any information about the demise of the Jingjue Kingdom. In fact, it is understandable to think about it. At that time, those who dared to run the Silk Road were all people who put their heads on their belts to make a living. They were definitely not precious people. They were basically mixed at the bottom of society. How could they get in touch with the secrets of the upper class? Even if there were literati among them, the records they wrote were nothing more than some legends passed down by word of mouth by the people of the Ghost Cave Clan of the Jingjue Kingdom at that time.
For example, the last queen of the Jingjue Kingdom was known as the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions.
For example, the main ethnic group of Jingjue Kingdom, the Guidong tribe, is not actually from this world. Their ancestors landed in this world on a huge ship that can float in the sky. In our current terms, the Guidong tribe is aliens. Although this sounds ridiculous, according to the investigation of many modern archaeologists on the Niya ruins of Jingjue Kingdom, this legend may be true, because many stone discs were found in the Niya ruins. These stone discs are quite interesting. It is impossible to determine what material they are, because such material has never been found on modern earth, but its structure and performance are enough to beat modern aviation materials. In other words, the Guidong tribe people more than 2,000 years ago actually mastered aviation materials that can withstand long-distance navigation in space. It's a pity that scientists have studied this material for a long time and finally came to a conclusion - we can't copy it now, but it's not nonsense to say that the Guidong tribe people are aliens!
However, there is no record of how the Kingdom of Jingjue was destroyed, whether in official or unofficial history. It is impossible to determine whether it was destroyed by natural disasters or the never-ending annexation wars between the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Anyway, after their last queen died, this ancient country disappeared silently. There is no record of how many people and how many troops the country had when it was destroyed. Even in the thousands of years before humans entered the steam age, because of backward production and technology, everyone was busy eating and drinking to fill their stomachs, this ancient country that once produced the "first beauty in the Western Regions" faded out of people's sight.
It was not until 1901 that a British expedition team came to the Taklimakan Desert and rediscovered the Niya ruins left by the ancient Jingjue Kingdom. However, almost all the members of the expedition team died later, and only one madman escaped. It was unknown what happened to them here, and the madman who escaped also died a month after returning to the UK. His death was very miserable. According to his family, his lower body began to fester at first, and within a month, the whole person turned into a pile of yellow soup, with nothing left. The family of the British explorer later found a diary when sorting out his relics. This diary was written by the British explorer in the Taklimakan Desert, and there were records about the Niya ruins! !
Jingjue Kingdom, at this time, once again entered the sight of mankind, but the demise of the expedition team and the extremely hideous death of the explorer gave Jingjue Kingdom a mysterious color. For a hundred years, people have never stopped exploring here, but the things they have discovered are still very few! !
I am also an ordinary person, and I am also interested in the mysterious ancient country of Jingjue. So when Cao Yuan said that we are now in the tomb of the last queen of Jingjue, and if we can understand the content of the murals, we can figure out the mystery of Jingjue, I instantly became excited.
Not only am I excited, Qingyi and the others are also curious! !
After all, we are now in the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue, and it will definitely be good for us to understand this period of history!
We did it right away. Qingyi and the others rested aside, and Cao Yuan and I studied the murals in the tomb.
To be honest, I have seen murals in tombs, but this kind of mural is the first time I have seen it. It may be due to cultural differences. Anyway... I can't understand this mural drawn by the painter who built this tomb! !
In fact, the characters painted on this mural are very special. All the characters have bulging eyes, which destroys the overall beauty. It doesn't seem to conform to the murals and artistic creations I am familiar with. Moreover, the overall mural is very chaotic, with flying eyeballs everywhere, which makes me very confused.
Perhaps seeing my confusion, Cao Yuan whispered: "The Ghost Cave Tribe of Jingjue Kingdom worships the power of eyes. They believe that eyes are the source of power in people, implying exploration, wisdom and discovery. When the Niya ruins were first discovered, many sculptures were unearthed here. These sculptures have a common feature, that is, their eyes are bulging. So many experts at that time speculated that the Ghost Cave Tribe may worship the power of eyes, so when creating art, they used an exaggerated method to highlight human eyes. Of course, it is not ruled out that highlighting the eyes is to express their desire. The Ghost Cave Tribe at that time seemed to have a special desire for knowledge and exploration of the starry sky. Their tribe is rich in astrologers, and every king is a very great astrologer!"
After listening to Cao Yuan's statement, it was easy for me to understand when I looked at these murals again, because I could understand those flying eyeballs in the murals as the desires of the Ghost Cave Tribe. Wherever these eyeballs appeared, it meant that going there was the collective will of the Ghost Cave Tribe.
After studying these murals and deciphering some of the ghost cave text below, Cao Yuan and I discovered a very surprising fact - the ghost cave people might really be aliens! ! !
According to the records on the murals, about 7,000 years ago, a very huge, plate-shaped object landed on the earth. From the perspective of modern people, this thing is very similar to something - UFO! !
Later, the flying saucer crashed for various reasons, but some of the alien creatures on the flying saucer survived. In order to survive, these creatures took root in the lush and grassy Western Regions at that time. Later, they may have combined with some local indigenous tribes and gradually formed a new nation and established a country. Needless to say, this country is the Jingjue Kingdom, and the ghost cave tribe is the descendants of the alien creatures at that time!
According to the records on the murals, the ghost cave tribe, a nation that was short-lived in history, seems to have been committed to one activity - leaving the earth and returning to the ancestral land!
Therefore, they never went to war with the outside world and always lived in the cracks. From the content of the eyeballs full of stars on the mural, it can be inferred that they should have been studying and exploring the starry sky, so that they could go back one day!
But what I don't understand is that the image records of each king of Jingjue Kingdom on the mural are very strange-the eyes of the kings of the Ghost Cave tribe are all red, and the eyes of these kings are depicted in a very strong red, which looks quite scary!
Cao Yuan said that the Ghost Cave tribe worships the power of eyes, so it is possible that their kings tried their best to exaggerate their eyes to rule this nation, just like the emperors of our Central Plains used "Divine Right, Son of Destiny" to fool the people to believe in them.
The mural then records some of the content of the Ghost Cave people's exploration of the starry sky. Because the mural is too exaggerated, and the Jingjue Kingdom is too far away from now, Cao Yuan and I didn't see the reason after looking at it for a long time.
Then, the mural finally talked about the last queen of Jingjue, who is the owner of the ancient tomb we are in now.
According to the records on the mural, this queen of Jingjue ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and she was very beautiful at the age of fourteen. She was known as the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions, but no one knew how beautiful she was, because no one had ever seen her. Only a eunuch in the palace said that the queen was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. Later, rumors spread, and the queen became the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions. The eunuch who was gossiping was later hanged by the alert queen.
The ghost cave text next to this mural, which Cao Yuan and I could not fully interpret, can only interpret a few words, but can also see part of the content.
This queen of Jingjue seemed to have a very high reputation among the people at that time. She was praised as the greatest astrologer of all ages, and her eyes had a very terrible power. The members of the ghost cave tribe always believed that this queen could lead them back to their ancestral land, and the queen of Jingjue has always been committed to this matter.
When did the Queen of Jingjue really start her plan to return to her ancestral land? It started when she met a Taoist priest from the Central Plains!
This Taoist priest turned out to be the Three Pure Ones!!!
