Chapter 17: Is There a Misunderstanding?

Civilization is the result of the precipitation of countless people's wisdom through a long history, and it is the process of human beings' objective cognition and adaptation to the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The determination of civilization is accompanied by the establishment of cities and institutions, as well as the emergence of writing, which is enough to be defined as a civilization.

Therefore, human beings need to have a reverence for words, just like primitive humans need to be in awe of nature.

Bon was founded at the same time as the ancient Zhang-zhung kingdom appeared, and it became one with this civilization.

Bon is not Buddhism, it is a religion of nature, and what it believes in, in addition to the gods, are mountains, rivers and lakes, the sun, the moon and the stars, so its words are in line with everything in nature.

For 18,000 years, human beings appeared on this plateau, tribes slowly appeared, order slowly appeared, writing slowly appeared, and civilization slowly appeared.

Perhaps the ancient Zhangzhung should not be called a kingdom, because in the Stone Age, there was no such thing as a kingdom, or the tribal era, and this Zhangzhung tribe reached 10 million people when the population was the most prosperous.

In the prehistoric years or so, 10 million people, a huge number.

In the Stone Age, there could have been no modern civilization, so the Zhangxiong people at that time lived on this plateau with wisdom and piety.

The Zhangxiong people have a system, a class, a division of labor among the people, astronomy, geography, animal taming, painting, healing, divination, handicrafts, architecture, music and so on.

Before the advent of the industrial age, the ancient Zhangxiong civilization was complete and even glorious.

From the location of the ancient Zhangzhung at that time, it is a bold guess that if other civilizations in West Asia and Central Asia were transmitted by the Zhangzhung civilization, it flowed along the mother river that nurtured countless generations of Asian humans, to the Indus River, to the Henghe River, and to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Wang Yao could not find the reason for the decline of this civilization from some of the existing records of ancient Zhangxiong.

More than 6,000 years ago, when the history of China first recorded Zhangxiong, it seemed that it was no longer the ancient Zhangxiong, but a new civilization, Yangtong, which was later annexed by Tibet.

What happened in the past 10,000 years, Wang Yao could not find an exact record.

There is no record of prosperity, which is a very difficult thing for revival, because we don't know the cause of destruction, what it is, natural or man-made.

"Little brother, I've eaten. Su Yong's voice interrupted Wang Yao's thoughts.

Wang Yao has been living here for two days, and although there is no sun or moon in the mountains, Wang Yao can still keep the time, because he has to find a way to cure the disease as soon as possible.

Since Wang Yao gave Su Hai the complete "Longba Gong", the old man has disappeared, and only Su Yong accompanies him every day.

In addition to the delicacies and game, the staple food in the mountains is barley pasta, which is similar to what the Tubo people eat outside, and I heard Su Yong say that there are a lot of barley in the valley, and they can make pasta if they can't finish eating, Wang Yao feels that this kind of pasta practice should not be from Tubo, but from the ancient Xiangxiong.

Eating the delicious chicken soup, Wang Yao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Susu, have you heard your grandfather mention how Gu Xiangxiong disappeared?"

Su Yong blinked, "It's not gone, aren't my grandfather and I still there?"

Looking at Su Yong's innocent face and this huge, empty stone hall that was a little bleak, Wang Yao didn't know why he felt sad.

In such a big place, there are only two people left.

"I mean, why did you move to the valley?" asked Wang Yao softly.

"Grandpa said that this is the ancestral tomb, and the Xiangxiong people want to guard the tomb for their ancestors, so they naturally want to be here. Su Yong smiled as a matter of course.

"Try this, it's a worm benzene dug up by Sona. Su Yong picked out something that looked like an herb from the pot and put it into the dough cake in Wang Yao's hand.

"Worm benzene?" Wang Yao was stunned, and tasted it without any taste, with a little aroma of shiitake mushrooms and pheasant.

"This is cordyceps. Wang Yao said in surprise.

"Hmm, what cordyceps, this thing is a worm, you will live a hundred years if you eat it. Su Yong licked his shiny pink lips.

Wang Yao didn't explain much, after all, he might not be able to explain it clearly, but he really needed this thing, "Sona can dig this kind of thing?"

"Well, it used to be quite a lot, but recently it may have gotten tired of eating and didn't bring it back much. Su Yong said with a smile.

The corners of Wang Yao's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that this thing was put in a bowl of noodles for a thousand grams, and people couldn't eat it, and they were tired of being eaten by a Tibetan lion, "Can you let it dig a little?"

"Huh, little brother, do you like to eat this thing?" Su Yong looked at Wang Yao with some doubts, "How unpalatable this thing is, if it weren't for the longevity, I wouldn't eat it." ”

"I'm going to use it for medicine. Wang Yao said.

"Then I'll go with it tomorrow and help you dig more. As soon as he heard that Wang Yao was useful, Su Yong instantly nodded with a serious face.

Looking at the girl's soft little face, Wang Yao smiled unconsciously.

Su Yong had an ethereal aura on his body that was as pure as this valley, as pure as a clear gem, which made people feel pity.

"Don't call me for dinner. At this time, Su Hai's dissatisfied voice came from behind the two.

Wang Yao hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Isn't Grandpa going into retreat?" Su Yong rolled his eyes at Su Hai.

"Didn't I go out of the customs, didn't I see the sign at the door?" Su Hai sat down and stared wide-eyed.

"No, you'll come out when you're hungry anyway. Su Yong wrinkled his nose coquettishly.

"How's your research?" Su Hai turned his head to look at Wang Yao and asked.

"There's been some progress. Wang Yao smiled, "It's mainly some of the medicines in it, I haven't figured it out yet." ”

"I'll show you later. Su Hai nodded.

"By the way, Lord Xianruopu, I would like to ask a question. Wang Yao asked with some hesitation.

Say. Su Hai replied vaguely while eating food.

"Gu Xiangxiong, how did he disappear?" Wang Yao asked cautiously, after all, this kind of topic is very sensitive.

Su Hai didn't care much about "disappearing, it's normal, if you can't keep up with the changes of the times, you will disappear, but Gu Xiangxiong hasn't disappeared, aren't Su Su and I here." ”

Wang Yao was stunned.

"This has nothing to do with the purpose of your trip, right?" Su Hai glanced at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao's face froze, and he said softly, "I just think that such a glorious civilization has some grievances in this valley. ”

"Wronged when you go out and wait to be carved up by outsiders?" Su Hai sneered.

Wang Yao frowned.

"Any glorious civilization will have a day of decline, if you don't want to be wiped out, then escaping the world is the best way. Su Hai continued to eat his food, but his voice was much clearer.

Wang Yao nodded, didn't ask any more, and waited for the old man to finish eating, so that he could help Su Yong clean up.

The hundred-year-old man has a lot of food, this may be one of the reasons for the longevity of the old man, he was full of food and drink, Su Hai stood up and said to Wang Yao, "Follow me." ”

Wang Yao was stunned, put down the things in his hand and smiled at Su Yong, followed Su Hai, and walked to his room.

The room was filled with a musky smell, which was very consistent with this room that seemed to be an ancient prophet, Wang Yao's eyes looked at the various appliances in the room that had a strange atmosphere, and the animal bones were a little nervous.

"Are your parents alive?" asked Su Hai, sitting on a stone bed covered with various animal skins and thangkas.

"They're all gone, but there are two masters and a godmother. Wang Yao replied.

"It doesn't count as a blood relative. Su Hai shook his head.

Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth, "I'm an orphan, a blood relative, I really don't know." ”

Su Haileng paused for a moment, looked at Wang Yao carefully, and finally nodded, "Would you like to stay here and replace me as a Bon Sect Virtuous?"

Wang Yao thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Su Hai with a puzzled face.

"Do you want to take over my mantle and become a Bon sage? Su Hai reunited again.

Wang Yao was shocked and at a loss, "What?"

"Why is such a big reaction?" Su Hai frowned with some disgust, and pointed to the stack of sketches on the table, "If the ancestors hadn't chosen you, I wouldn't have passed on your mantle." ”

Wang Yao pressed his nervous heartbeat and asked cautiously, "Master Xianruopu, is there some misunderstanding?"

"There is no misunderstanding, you are psychic with the throne and have realized the "Longba Gong", which should be the successor chosen by the ancestors, not to mention, you came here because you were only influenced by the ancestors. Su Hai said with a solemn expression, "Although I don't really like you as a beautiful Central Plains person, but since it was chosen by the ancestors, there is no way." ”

Wang Yao swallowed his saliva, "Master Xianruopu, I still have to go back to the mainland." ”

Su Hai frowned, his expression was a little displeased, "Isn't it good here?"

"This. Wang Yao was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, although this place is good, it is not his home. (To be continued.) )
