I dig ancient tombs for the country

Hongmao and I didn't feel the slightest sleepiness anymore, so we quietly walked out of the yard to check what happened.

The pitch-black courtyard was eerie, the weeds and trees swayed in the wind, and there were bursts of mournful wails from time to time, which made our hair stand on end.

Along the path, we bravely came to the second courtyard with strong flashlights. We saw the blue light that was flickering and flickering everywhere in the courtyard, and we saw many ghosts standing on the graves. Some covered their faces and cried, some sighed into the sky, some knelt on the ground and wailed, and some headless corpses dangled on the graveyard, in short, there were all kinds of things.As soon as we entered the yard, they stopped crying and surrounded us one after another.

The gun was bold, and I held the flashlight in one hand, and grabbed Browning pinned to my waist with the other, watching the ghosts approaching with vigilance.

The red hair stared at a pair of big eyes, and shouted at the approaching ghosts: "There are grievances and debtors, we just want to hear about your grievances?"

The ghosts stopped a meter away from us, and one of them said: "We are Kucha people who were killed by those Uyghurs. What can you two young people do? Can you clear the truth for us? Ah, can you still avenge us?"

I shook my head: "We can neither avenge you nor avenge you. After all, nearly a thousand years have passed, or even longer. We just want to know what happened to your Kucha country? It disappeared from history overnight. .”

A man in his 40s with long beard and beard stood up and said, "Since you want to know the reason, I can tell you, but I have a condition. If you agree to my condition, I will tell you."

"I don't know what condition you are talking about? As long as we can do it, we will not hesitate." Hongmao responded.

"Okay, he's a man." The bearded man looked at the night sky in a daze, as if he had returned to that unforgettable day back then...

In 840 A.D., the Uighurs occupied the capital of the Kucha Kingdom. Overnight, the palace of the Kucha Kingdom mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a large number of Kucha people.

The people didn't want to submit to the Uighurs, so they wanted to flee the city with their families.That night was a day they will never forget.

Unknown who leaked the news, the Uighurs sealed the city gates tightly and sent a large number of soldiers to encircle and suppress them.

As soon as the people of Kucha Kingdom walked out of their homes, they were massacred by Uighur soldiers before they had time to reach the gate of the city. At that time, blood flowed like rivers, and the Uighur soldiers did not spare even infants.The people of Kucha Kingdom suffered unspeakably, some died, some fled, and there was a lot of complaints for a while.

Some members of the Qiuci royal family who had time to escape in the future stood up and spoke. The big man with tendrils and beards was the Qiuci royal family surnamed Bai, named Bai Quan, and he was the younger brother of the king of Qiuci.When Baiquan stood up to speak on behalf of the people, he was dissatisfied with the Uyghur Khan Pang Teqin. He ordered the execution of all Baiquan's family members, and threatened to kill all the people of Kucha if they escaped again.

The people of Kucha Kingdom were not reconciled, so they secretly planned to escape again.As a result, that night, many masked men came, and they drove the rest of the Kucha people to the mansion of the palace, which is the residence of the Baiquan family. There, they were brutally slaughtered by the masked men, and the whole mansion was stained red with blood. .Many people were even beheaded by those masked men. They dug out the meat from the heads, made the bare heads into various wine vessels, and drank and fisted in the compound.

On one side are the people of Kucha who were murdered, and on the other side are the masked men who drank wildly. The bloody scene at that time has never been forgotten by those who lost their lives, so that their souls are still reluctant to leave.Every night, they would appear in the courtyard and cry. After a long time, this house became a ghost house that everyone talked about. No one dared to patronize this big house except the old man Mu who was guarding the tomb.

After hearing the story of the bearded man, Hongmao and I were shocked. These innocent people are so unfortunate. They just defended their dignity and did not want to be controlled by the Uighurs who invaded their homeland, so they suffered such a bloody massacre. It's really disgusting.

I looked at the bearded man and said, "I am deeply injustice for your grievances. Unfortunately, things are different now, and those Uighurs who killed you have long since disappeared. I don't know what conditions you are talking about?"

The bearded man Bai Quan gave us both a deep salute: "Our King of Kucha, Princess Pipa, whom everyone loves and respects, and his husband and son-in-law disappeared overnight. We suspect that they were also brutally murdered by the Uighurs. , and disappearing with them is the national treasure of the Kucha Kingdom, the Star of Bliss. I hope you can help us find this star of bliss. Now only it can help us return to the underworld, otherwise we can only be lonely ghosts. "

"What? To be honest, the two of us came here to find this star of bliss. I heard that it can cure all diseases. I don't know if it is true or not? I hope you can provide us with some information about the star of bliss."

Baiquan sighed after hearing this: "The Star of Bliss is a national treasure passed down from generation to generation in our Kucha Kingdom. It can cure various difficult diseases. The Kucha Kingdom is divided into two factions, one belongs to King Bai Zhen, and the other belongs to Prince Bai Bang. The star was stolen from the palace by Baibang's disciples, so there was a battle to snatch the star of bliss in Kucha, and many people were killed and injured. Finally, the orb was taken back by Princess Pipa, and the king passed the orb to Princess Pipa, so that She took care of it. Soon, the Uyghurs occupied the capital Yancheng, and that night, the entire palace, including the king and Princess Pipa, disappeared, and it is still a mystery to this day."

It disappeared without a trace overnight. This is indeed too mysterious. As the saying goes, people leave their names when they pass by, and geese leave their voices when they pass by. Underground or fly into the sky.

Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly brightened. It is impossible for such a large palace to fly into the sky. Could it be that it has escaped into the ground?This is not impossible. With the change of the earth's crust, mountains can become oceans, and oceans can also become land. At the same time, it also leads to natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

After pondering for a long time, I promised those souls that if we can find the Star of Bliss, let them use it first, otherwise we will never be able to reincarnate, and we will always be lonely ghosts like them.

After hearing this, they returned to their tombs one after another, and the whole compound immediately returned to the tranquility of the past, and occasionally a few crisp birdsong could be heard.

Hongmao and I walked along the cobblestone path to the front yard under the bright moonlight. Just as we were about to enter the house, we saw the old man standing at the door with a gloomy expression on his face. We both broke out in a cold sweat as we stared at each other, feeling uncomfortable all over.
