Chapter 178: Wishing (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As the saying goes, the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox is about empathy.
Just now, a pile of huge elephant bones was unearthed, and everyone watched it with relish, and there was no fear of emotion.
But now, with the appearance of the white bone pit and the sight of the bones of the same kind, everyone suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and even a trace of fear emerged......
It can only be said that everyone has the heart of empathy.
In fact, it is also strange that many people are not afraid of the living, but they are afraid of the dead.
I don't know, what kind of mentality this is.
Perhaps, what everyone is afraid of is never the dead, nor is it afraid of ghosts. is afraid of association, thinking that one day he will also be a pile of dry bones, such an end naturally makes people palpitate.
In any case, the discovery of the white bone pit also made the entire camp boil in an instant.
Groups of experts and scholars have abandoned the study of hieroglyphs and rushed to the market.
After rescuing the archaeologists who didn't know if they were unlucky or lucky, everyone immediately conducted a simple and rough study of the bone pit.
At first glance, layers of white bones are piled up, and I don't know how many people have been buried.
In the white bones, it is faintly visible, and many broken and broken weapons are scattered and mixed in them.
"Bone knives, stone axes, bronze spearheads......"
An old expert looked at it for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "War, this is a war. ”
"What?"
Everyone was confused and looked at the old expert.
In the meantime, there are also some people whose eyes suddenly light up.
"That's right, it's war. ”
Caught off guard, someone echoed and said happily: "Elephant war." ”
"Huh?"
Those who are confused, continue to be confused.
A smart person, however, was already thoughtful and nodded unconsciously.
"Yes, elephant warfare. ”
A person's eyebrows stretched, and he suddenly said: "In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, there are many records about elephants. It shows that the ruling class at that time, the elephant had been tamed, and it was used in warfare. ”
"The Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family recorded that the merchant was dressed as an elephant and was abused in Dongyi. ”
The others immediately added: "The Duke of Zhou, the king of Wu, will be punished and killed, and he will beg his king for three years, drive Lian to the sea and kill him, and destroy the country fifty." Drive tigers, leopards and rhinos away, and the world will be happy......"
There is also a legend that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu attacked Chu, and the State of Chu resisted with elephant soldiers. ”
The man smiled: "There is enough evidence to show that in the pre-Qin period, there were elephant soldiers in many places in the Central Plains. It was only later, when the Xiaoice River period came, the Central Plains gradually became colder, and the elephant soldiers moved south, and then slowly disappeared. ”
"Driving elephants as an army and attacking cities and breaking wilderness is also the norm in the ancient Central Plains. ”
"Without a doubt, this place ...... There was a terrible war. ”
"The bones of giant elephants, and these bone pits, are proof. ”
"After a great battle, many people died, and the giant elephants were not spared. On the victor's side, they buried the victims in a deep pit and cast inscriptions to commemorate them......"
A group of experts and scholars have used their brains to ponder the possibilities.
"It's absolutely, very important battles. ”
An old expert said categorically: "Otherwise, the layout would not be so serious and formal." This is supposed to be a solemn sacrificial ceremony that takes place after the great victory. Engrave the merit on the bronze plate, which means immortality and eternal memory. ”
"Crusade against non-ministers, break the country and quell rebellion, only have this kind of specifications. ”
A group of people discussed, and the mood was high.
I have to say that an expert is an expert, and there is nothing to say about professionalism.
An individual, citing scriptures and scriptures, came up with various examples to prove his point of view.
That's what archaeology is all about. Empty words are definitely not good.
The so-called historical facts are physical evidence and written proof.
In ancient times, especially in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, many magnates and priests liked to engrave words on bronze vessels, tortoise shells, and bone fragments to remember their exploits.
To put it bluntly, it is to sing praises of virtue.
These words are the original historical materials, and they are also the direct evidence that later generations understand the history of that time.
Isolated texts are naturally likely to be deceptive. However, a large number of words have been unearthed, and then they are compared and integrated with each other, and the history in the fog is naturally gradually clear.
The specific context also surfaced.
So at this time, several experts said that most of the existence of bones like the pits occurred after the war.
That's because people have practical examples that can be cited.
This is based on history and the credit of archaeology. Have ready-made experience, like a mathematical formula, grasp the key points in it, and just apply it directly.
The same applies to the present.
Through several characteristics, a group of experts and scholars are categorically affirmed.
In the vicinity of the hamlet in an unknown period, there must have been a major battle.
In the war, the forces of the two sides, with giant elephants as soldiers, collided tragically. The specific details of the battle are no longer verifiable, but judging from the results, the victorious side also paid a heavy price.
Dozens of giant elephants, destroyed in the battle.
In the Forest of Bones, hundreds of people were buried in this pit alone.
It is also unknown if there are any other pits in the vicinity.
The heavy casualties are enough to illustrate the terrible ...... of war
The question is, which period, which battle, is this?
A group of experts and scholars scratched their heads and fell into deep thought.
You know, in ancient times, wars were too frequent. Someone has done statistics, with a detailed list of data, showing that in thousands of years of history, only a few decades belong to the peaceful days without war.
Even in modern times, today, when the material is developed. On a global scale, war has not been eliminated.
The so-called world peace is only a lofty ideal.
Thinking to no avail, everyone decided not to wait for tomorrow, and counted the white bone pit overnight.
At that moment, a group of people took action, like a relay, carefully picked up the white bones in the pit and all kinds of bits and pieces, and marked and arranged them......
Wang Feng was also enthusiastic to help and did chores on the periphery.
There are many things, people are miscellaneous, and the work is very tedious. So much so that some people are in a trance, not noticing at all, and something disappears unintentionally.
Even if someone saw a flower in front of them, it seemed that they saw something, floating in the sky, and suddenly disappeared into the night sky.
At most, they felt that they must be too tired to hallucinate.
All in all, everyone was busy until late at night, and it was the end of the day's work to clean up the bone pit.
Everything, all sealed. Night police patrol to guard against death.
After making sure that nothing goes wrong, everyone is reluctant to disperse.
In the city, there have already been people who have arranged accommodation, and they will not let everyone sleep on the streets. Wang Feng too, did not live in a small village, but followed the crowd and came to the hotel.
Comfortable room with locked doors and windows.
Wang Feng closed the curtains, didn't even turn on the lights, and smiled heartily.
After planning for a long time, I finally got my wish.
