Chapter 23 A Brief History of Western Xia – Northern School Tomb Raider Notes

We made a decision to go down to the bottom of the well and look around.

Got a rope and I said I’d go down, Beanpole said no, he wanted to contribute to the team, he’d go down the shaft.

I saw that the well wasn’t deep and there was no water in it, so I thought it shouldn’t be dangerous, so I agreed to let Bean Sprout go down the well.

Tying the rope around his waist and double-checking to make sure it was okay, Beanpole started to slide down the shaft with his headlamp.

The rope on the ground we tied to a big rock, and Beanpole wasn’t fat enough for this rock to support his weight.

The place hadn’t been visited for who knows how many years, and it looked deserted everywhere.

Beanpole quickly tugged on the rope and slid to the bottom of the well.

He bent down and felt on the ground and exclaimed, “Crap, what a piece of iron!”

Throwing his head down a sack, he said budgie quickly load it up and take a look.

When Bean Sprout Boy sent the stuff up we took a look, the pile of iron pieces was so rusted that the edges had been badly deformed, and there was a small eye right above the rotten pieces, so we didn’t know what it was for.

At first we looked confused, all the iron pieces with little eyes.

Unexpectedly Aggie opened her mouth and said something that woke us all up.

Aggie said, “Could these pieces of iron have been strung together before?”

“Right! So it was that thing! Why didn’t I think of that!”

It’s armor!

It’s the iron sheet armor that soldiers and generals used to wear in war!

I threw a shovel down the well while shouting, “Bud! Look around and see if there’s anything else.”

Over the next hour or so, in one of the deepest dry wells in this Alas, we found more and more.

There are rotten iron pieces, broken into several sections of the iron sword, rusty spearheads, arrowheads, and a large number of scattered bones of the dead, especially the bones of the dead, bean sprout boy with a shovel digging down more and more, digging to the end of the day he was afraid to dare not to dig, too many bones of the dead, that is a layer of pressure on a layer of bones, some bones are close to the weathering of the bean sprout boy stepped on a foot and stepped into the powder.

He was sweating at the bottom of the well, shouting, “Pull me up! There can’t be thousands or tens of thousands of people! It’s a fucking death pit!”

He still looked stunned after pulling Beanpole up.

It wasn’t just him, everyone had a similar expression on their faces.

Uncle Kurok said something out loud in an anxious voice.

Aggie nervously translated, “Uncle said that these are the soldiers of General Black who died in battle, and that we are disturbing General Black’s spirit, and that we will be cursed by Halahot!”

“Don’t panic.” The head of the handle was the calmest, he pondered for a moment before saying, “Those dead bones are a bit forced to say that they are soldiers of the Western Xia Blackwater City, and even if they are, they won’t all be Western Xia soldiers. Because the number of armor and weapons we found is far less than the number of remains. In other words, the skeletons under the well are probably mostly people civilians.”

Put the head of the analysis has geography, the next we around the topic of discussion, although in the end did not get any definitive results, but I probably understand the brief history of Western Xia.

Throughout the ancient civilizations, Xixia is the only one that is not included in the 24 histories, because the later Yuan Dynasty deliberately did not give Xixia a history.

And when people discuss Xixia, they always feel that this northwestern country reveals an aura all over.

Mystery.

In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a Dangshang man named Tuoba Sigong, this man helped the Tang Dynasty to pacify the Huang Chao rebellion, the King of the Tang Dynasty rewarded the land, the official ministers, and at the same time, gave the surname Li, this man is the founder of the Western Xia State.

Then Li Deming, Li Jiqian inherited the Northwest Sectional Minister, these two people meticulously and secretly developed for several decades, and by Li Yuanhao’s generation, the strength of their fiefdom was already very strong.

Yuan Hao looked at his strong army, he decided not to be meticulous, so he said to Song Renzong, “Xiao Song, I am no longer under Wu, let’s be on an equal footing.”
