Chapter 14: The Burial Heaven
Wu Lang sat in the library, opened the laptop he carried with him, and carefully checked all kinds of information about the text.
In global theories, the oldest Chinese characters are still oracle bone inscriptions, because they are carved into bones or tortoise shells. So why do you engrave the text on the tortoise shell? This has something to do with divination, and in the excavation of the modern Yinxu site, the oracle bone inscription unearthed totaled more than 4,000 characters, and about half of them have been deciphered by archaeological experts. With the excavation of these oracle bone inscriptions, the hereditary lineage of the Shang Dynasty in China has also been confirmed, and at the same time, it has overturned the West's denial of the Shang Dynasty. But is the 3,500-year-old oracle bone inscription really the oldest script in China?
The oracle bone inscription is a very mature script, and the development of anything will go through the process of birth to evolution and maturity, and this process is likely to last for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, so before the appearance of the oracle bone inscription, there must have been more ancient writing. Scholars in China's archaeological industry also agree with this statement, and gradually verify its authenticity in the archaeological process, and have successively discovered ancient characters such as Jiazhiwen, Taosi Zhuwen, and Liangzhu Wen. One of the oldest is the "Jiahu Inscription" unearthed in Jiahu Lake in Wuyang, although only 17 characters have been unearthed, but each one is clearly recognizable, and research has found that there is a certain connection between them and oracle bone inscriptions.
More importantly, after identification, these characters have a history of 9,000 years, so perhaps after the excavation of these ancient characters at the Jiahu site, the history of our country will also be rewritten, and the history of 5,000 years may be changed to 9,000 years of history. The excavation of these ancient characters has only caused a huge sensation in China, and domestic scholars believe that this is the oldest script known in China, but scholars in the world do not agree. Although it is not recognized by the world, my country still lists the "Jiahu carved symbols" as "words", and identifies it as the earliest form of writing in our country, and many Chinese people say that our country's history belongs to our own country, and there is no need to be recognized by others!
Wu Lang obviously felt that the words on the book given to him by the old man in the night market were extremely similar to the 17 characters in the "Jiahu Engraving" displayed on the computer. Hurriedly opened the red cloth, flipped through the contents of the book, and compared them with the computer one by one. It's a pity that none of the words in the book and the 17 characters in the "Jiahu Engraving" on the computer can be corrected. Wu Lang couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face, and then closed the book and wrapped it in a red cloth.
Suddenly, Wu Lang stared at the cover of the book tightly, and then looked up at the 17 characters in the "Jiahu Engraving" on the computer.
"Burial day" Wu Lang couldn't help but read it out of his mouth.
What does this mean? What kind of day is buried? Are you going to bury the sky? This bullshit is too big! Which ancient man was so full that he had nothing to do, and made up such an incomparably fucking book! If you could really bury the heavens, would you still write a book? Why, do you plan to teach future generations to continue the great work you have not accomplished?
Wu Lang thought in his heart, and then typed the word "burial sky" on his laptop and searched for it......
The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are the earliest records in the history books of our country, which belong to the end of the primitive society, and because there is no written record before it, the real situation is unknown. Some scholars argue that before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it should be the early stage of primitive society, and in the upper part is the era of flood famine, and some scholars believe that it should be a prehistoric civilization before it, because the age is too long, I don't know why, that civilization disappeared in the long river of history. "Burial Days" records all the history of prehistoric civilizations, and the author cannot be examined. It is said that the book "Burial Heaven" can solve this mystery, but that is only a word of mouth story through the ages, because so far, no one has discovered the book "Burial Heaven" at all.
"I'm going, there really is a book called 'Burial Heaven'! Could it be that the truth of prehistoric civilization is really recorded in the book?" Wu Lang blurted out.
Then I took the book in my hand again, looked at it calmly and carefully, and looked at the different strokes of each word in the book, the structure, the priority of writing, the direction of the pen, and the end of the fall. I memorized all the words in the book, then closed the book, closed my eyes, and in my mind, thought about the different characteristics of each word one by one, and then picked up the book and compared them one by one to see if I remembered any mistakes, and so on and so on three times, and repeatedly confirmed that I had all been accurately imprinted in my mind.
The first part of "Burial Heaven" is 2,896 words. On the last page of the map, there are six hundred and fifty-seven small characters on both sides and below, and the total number of words is three thousand five hundred and fifty-three words.
The first word count of this book is 2896, the first two numbers and the last number are even, the penultimate digit is an odd number, and the word count on the map is 657, the front is an even number, the last two digits are all odd numbers, and what is more interesting is that the total number of words in the whole book is 3553, the same number of words before and after, and the middle two digits are also the same, all odd numbers! Is it a coincidence? Or does it imply some kind of meaning?
Since the title of the book "Burial of the Heavens" is the same as two of the 17 characters of the "Jiahu Inscriptions," could it be that the "Burial of the Heavens" is written in the words "Jiahu Inscriptions"! Although only 17 characters of the "Jiahu Inscriptions" have been unearthed, that was a few years ago, and there must have been other characters that have not been unearthed or have already been unearthed, and for some reason, they have not been announced to the public.
After Wu Lang finished thinking about it, he immediately typed the words "Jiahu Engraving" on the computer, searched for it, and Wu Lang checked every search carefully, not letting go of any clues. After reading nearly 10,000 searches, no valuable clues were found, Wu Lang couldn't help but be a little disheartened, turned his head and saw that Yin Yuting had leaned back on the chair and fell asleep, then stood up, opened the pillow, and gently covered her body.
Wu Lang looked at the time on his phone, it was already 3:27 in the morning, and then he slowly walked out of the library, stood at the gate, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked up at the night sky, and slowly exhaled smoke.
Tonight's night sky, cloudless, the bright moon hangs high in the blue sky, the surrounding stars flicker, emitting a faint and faint light, which sets off the dazzling and beautiful beauty of the full moon.
Where did my dad go? It's only been a month, but he only sent me two text messages on his mobile phone, and I don't know anything about the other news, my dad is really like the fat man guessed, not an ordinary person, so what kind of identity will he be? I remember when I was in the second grade of primary school, my classmates laughed at me, I was a motherless child, I cried and went home and asked my father, everyone else has a mother, why don't I have a mother? After listening to my words, my father beat me hard, it was the first and only time in my life, my father beat me, and since then, I don't ask anymore, but this is my biggest heart disease!
Why don't I have a mother, there is no photo of her at home, I remember when I was a freshman, I drank with my father, he was drunk, I deliberately took his words, and asked about my mother, who knew that he came to his senses at once, glared at me fiercely, and did not speak. Then he sat on the steps in front of the door, stared at the night sky and smoked a cigarette all night.
Wu Lang held a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the vast night sky stupidly, constantly recalling the past in his mind, and the smoke slowly rose up, as if it smoked his eyes, and the eye sockets were instantly filled with crystal clear liquid, and then slowly dripped down the corners of his eyes, but he still stared at the silent night sky, as if he didn't notice that the tears had wet the clothes on his chest......
Yin Yuting didn't know when, leaning on the glass door frame in the library, quietly looking at Wu Lang standing on the steps outside the door, watching his every move, watching his tears flow from his eyes and drip down his chest......
