Dong Xiaowei said: "It's nothing to tell you. According to our inference, the sinking of the ancient city of Fuxian Lake is very closely related to ancient witchcraft, and it can even be said that someone used the wrong witchcraft to cause the ancient city to sink to the bottom of the lake. The purpose of my visit to Fuxian Lake is to find out who used what witchcraft in Fuxian Lake. ”

I looked at Dong Xiaowei and said, "Are you going to take away that witchcraft secret technique?"

"Are you a descendant of the Divine Sect?" Dong Xiaowei looked at me in surprise and said, "Aren't you doing the same thing as me?"

I didn't know what Dong Xiaowei meant by the Divine Gate at all, so I simply diverted the topic: "So, even if we don't come to Yunnan, you will go to Fuxian Lake yourself?"

"Yes. Dong Xiaowei said lightly, "Therefore, life and death are life-and-death." If there weren't so many bad things, no one would die. What do you say?"

When I looked at Dong Xiaowei, I could no longer hide the coldness in my eyes: "You attribute everyone's death to fate?"

Dong Xiaowei showed a smile: "Can't accept my theory, right? The rivers and lakes are ever-changing, and the people in the rivers and lakes naturally follow the flow." When your life changes, your mentality will naturally change, and this is the rivers and lakes. ”

I was about to refute, but Ye Xun touched me lightly: "Look ahead." ”

In front of us there was a stepped platform across the cave, and at the top of the platform stood a four-legged bronze tripod, and at the bottom left of the bronze tripod was a stone throne.

Dong Xiaowei's gaze scanned back and forth between the throne and Juding a few times before he said, "Wang Huan, what do you think?"

I was silent for a moment before I said, "According to common sense, the throne and the bronze tripod should not be placed side by side. The throne symbolizes royal power and represents the supreme authority in the world, and the bronze tripod is the important weapon of the country and also symbolizes royal power. The two can coexist, but they should not be placed in the same place. ”

I looked at Gao Tai and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two things shouldn't be from the same capital." The throne should have come from the tribe that had been wiped out by Zhuang Ji, and the bronze tripod should have come from the hands of the Chu people. ”

Dong Xiaowei said in a low voice: "You mean, the culture between the two coexists? Is this possible?"

I said in a deep voice, "Nothing is impossible. Although the Chu culture is higher than that of the primitive tribes in Yunnan, if Zhuang Ji wants to rule the wilderness, he is afraid that it will take dozens or even hundreds of years to achieve results, and the fastest way is to rule the wilderness. Indigenous people are more receptive to the guidance of the gods than in more advanced cultures. But ......"

I then said, "Replacing one god with another is not something that can be done overnight. It is understandable that Zhuang Ji combined the witch culture of Chu with local shamans to rule the Dian Kingdom. ”

Dong Xiaowei looked at me with a smile and said, "You only told half the truth. Go up and have a look. ”

I didn't even tell half the truth. If I'm not mistaken, the throne and the Dading are actually coexisting witch ceremonies, and the person sitting on the throne does not necessarily have to be the king of the tribe, and the sorcerer of the tribe may also be the master of the throne.

The Fuxian Lake tribe is likely to be a primitive tribe with the shark as the god, and the king of the tribe is also the incarnation of the shark king. In ancient tribes, it is not uncommon for a sorcerer to be king.

When I was bowing my head and thinking, Dong Xiaowei said: "Wang Huan, look at the words on the big ding, do you recognize it." ”

When I looked in the direction of Dong Xiaowei's finger, I saw that the side of the copper tripod was engraved with words. I circled around the copper tripod twice, only to find that there were pictures engraved on both sides of the copper tripod, and strange and difficult words on the other two sides.

I gently stroked Ding's body and said, "This is Jin Wen?"

I continued: "According to historical sources, the words inscribed on bronze bells or tripods are called Jinwen, or Zhongdingwen. Jin Wen originated in the Shang Dynasty, prevailed in the Zhou Dynasty, and continued until the Qin and Han dynasties. The golden inscription is in the same vein as the oracle bone inscription, which is similar to a picture. There are probably more than 3,000 words in the known golden script, and only more than 1,800 words have been successfully deciphered by scholars. I don't know anything about the golden text, even if I give me the gold dictionary, I can't completely decipher the text on it. ”

Dong Xiaowei walked up to me and said in a deep voice, "You didn't tell the truth, did you?"

I was slightly annoyed and said, "I'm telling the truth." If you send this Dading to the experts now, they may not be able to translate it at once, let alone ......."

I was only halfway through my words, and I saw Dong Xiaowei's men raise their guns and aim them at Ye Xun's head.

Ye Xun just looked at the five or six guns with cold eyes, and then turned his gaze to Dong Xiaowei.

Dong Xiaowei said lightly: "Since we are cooperating, we need sincerity. Disciples of the Divine Sect have always been well-informed, and I don't want to hear the words 'I don't know anything.' If you do this again, something very serious will happen. ”

I suppressed a breath of anger and said, "I can only see that this copper tripod is from the Spring and Autumn Period. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a copper tripod built after Zhuang Ji Wang Dian. ”

Dong Xiaowei's eyes lit up: "What do you say?"

I pointed to Jin Wen on Tongding and said: "The Zhou Dynasty was the golden age of Jin Wen, and later because of the division of the Eastern Zhou princes, Jin Wen also formed regional characteristics. It can be roughly divided into the eastern soil system represented by Qi and Lu, the western soil system represented by Qin and Jin, and the southern soil system represented by Chu, Wu, Yue and other countries. The southern soil system is characterized by its softness and roundness, and the gold inscription on this big tripod is exactly like this. ”

"The primitive tribes of Yunnan do not have strong smelting technology for bronze, and there is no mature writing, so I say that this Dading should come from after Zhuangji Wang Dian. I even think that the entire Lonely Mountain Cave is a product of the Dian Kingdom. ”

"Makes sense. Dong Xiaowei nodded, "What else do you see?"

The anger in my heart grew a little stronger. Dong Xiaowei couldn't see nothing, from her demeanor, I could see that she had determined that the copper tripod was from the hands of the Chu people long before I opened her mouth, and she just wanted to verify her guess through my analysis.

The hateful thing is that Dong Xiaowei himself refuses to say anything, so I can only be her assistant, and I can't get more information from her.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Dong Xiaowei looked at me with a smile and said, "Wang Huan, this is not a cooperative attitude, are you right?"

As soon as Dong Xiaowei's voice fell, her subordinates with guns took a step forward, and the muzzle of the gun almost hit Ye Xun's head, and Ye Xun's hands behind his back were also put on his sides. Is he ready to do it?

I quickly coughed dryly and said, "I think the only thing that is useful now should be the two drawings on the bronze." ”

I pointed to the picture on the front of the bronze tripod and said, "The first painting is obviously a scene of the natives worshipping the gods. The natives were all prostrate under the high platform, and the people on the throne looked like masked wizards and, of course, their gods. ”

I turned to the back of the copper tripod again and said, "Here." Although the scene here is roughly the same as in the previous painting, there is an extra man wearing a feather crown under the throne, and the people who worship on the ground have changed from prostrate to kneeling, which represents a change of royal power, the abdication of the old king, and the accession of the new king. So, I think this is a change of royal power between the ancient Dian kingdoms, and there is nothing special about it. ”

Dong Xiaowei stared at me and said, "Wang Huan, do you really think I am a fool?"

I couldn't help but sink slightly, I really only told the truth eight points.

Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice: "It is true that Jin Wen came from the hands of the Chu people, but this mouth is by no means from the queen of Zhuang Ji Wang Dian. ”

Dong Xiaowei pointed to the picture on the front of Dading and said: "The lines of this painting are extremely rough, and some places do not even highlight the key points, which shows that the person who painted the painting has not been systematically studied. The painting is similar to the fresco on the outermost layer of the grotto. This shows that the picture on the front of Dading is from the hands of the natives. ”

Dong Xiaowei went around to the back of Dading and said: "The lines of this painting seem really rough today, but it highlights the three key points you said: the new king, the old king, and the people. This painting should have come from the hands of the Chu people. ”

Dong Xiaowei's eyes showed a hint of chill: "You have long seen the secret of this Dading, but you are deliberately misleading me, right? What is the real secret?"

As soon as Dong Xiaowei's voice fell, one of her subordinates raised her hand and smashed it on Ye Xun's head with *. The man* didn't wait to touch the top of Ye Xun's head, and the latter suddenly raised his hand and knocked the person to the ground with a punch.

The person guarding Ye Xun obviously didn't expect him to dare to fight back in this situation, and waited until his companion was knocked down before he wanted to shoot. But I quickly shouted, "Stop!"

"Stop!" Dong Xiaowei was the second to give an order.

The person who was about to fire forcibly released the finger that was on the trigger, and Ye Xun also stopped his movements at this time: "I don't have the habit of being beaten for nothing." Whoever wants to get their hands dirty can try it. ”

I obviously saw a little cold light turning out of Ye Xun's cuffs, Dong Xiaowei didn't shout to stop, the knife in Ye Xun's hand would be sent into the other party's stomach, and he himself would have to die under the gun.

I broke out in a cold sweat. Ye Xun, this guy obviously doesn't know what compromise is, and he has been thinking about dying together since he was trapped.

Dong Xiaowei said in a deep voice: "Wang Huan, I don't care about this time, but if you cooperate so insincerely, I don't dare to guarantee that I will not terminate the cooperation." If you don't care about Ye Xun's life, then I won't care about that, do you understand?"

I originally wanted to hide the key secret of Tongding, but now it seems that my approach seems naïve. Dong Xiaowei is not a person who is easy to deceive, she occupies the absolute initiative, I want to deceive her, it is as difficult as heaven.

I took a deep breath and said, "You won." The last secret of this big ding is not in the ding, it is in that mask. ”
