Chapter 33: Nanzhao
Nanzhao Ancient Kingdom...... A country that suddenly became powerful and prosperous, and then suddenly declined and disappeared, full of mystery, Lu Li had seen it in books.
No matter which book it is, the name of it is full of awe, yearning, and irrepressible curiosity.
"Nanzhao Ancient Kingdom," Lu Li's eyes were clear, "I remember that its location should be in Dali?" β
"Uh-huh, that's right! The current Dali is the territory of the former Nanzhao! Shen Wansha finished eating the flower rolls, clapped his hands and pulled the stool and sat closer to Lu Li, his voice had the excitement of the room lowered, "The ancient kingdom of Nanzhao suddenly appeared more than 300 years ago, the momentum is amazing, and the development of less than a hundred years is eye-catching, and even I β‘β‘ Shangbang has to fold and hand over, and there is no country in history that rises faster and more brilliant than them." However, it is a pity that the speed of its lightning rise is matched by its lightning crash, which is faster than lightning, obviously a qiΔ is just right, the domestic achievements are remarkable, and the pace of expansion to the surrounding is also step-by-step, suddenly, the royal family encountered a crisis, and the people below rebelled, and no one in the entire Nanzhao had the ability to turn the tide......"
Lu Li also felt very strange when he saw the relevant information of Nanzhao, according to the records, Nanzhao created a lot of wealth, not only political culture, folk crafts, traditional skills, simply a hundred flowers bloomed, the whole country reached a very high height, but also in the steady rise stage, the country and the people are safe, very healthy, and the rebellion is simply unreasonable. And its royal family was so powerful before, how could others rebel and have no tricks at all, as if all the powerful wisdom was fake.
"Why?" He asked subconsciously.
Shen Wansha covered his mouth and smiled, looked around after laughing, and whispered, "It's because there is a very powerful national teacher in the ancient country of Nanzhao." β
"National teacher?" Lu Li's eyes widened, and the letter was superstitious?
Shen Wansha's face was determined, and his beautiful little face was full of admiration, "That is a very, very powerful national teacher, I heard that not only does he know astronomy and geography, but he can also talk to the dead and predict the future!" β
He divined that Nanzhao has an emperor star and is going to start a career, so he looked for the past, but it also shows that the national fortune of Nanzhao is only two hundred years, and after two hundred years, it will fall overnight and have nothing, which is the destiny of heaven. Sure enough, as he said, exactly two hundred years later, the Nanzhao Kingdom was destroyed. β
Lu Li felt that it was ridiculous to attribute the cause of a country's demise to 'prophecy', but Shen Wansha was so mysterious and secretive, it was too hurtful for him not to cooperate a little, "...... Is it? β
"Naturally! The national teacher also said that the Mandate of Heaven cannot be violated, but the Mandate of Heaven has a turnaround, and the princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom will pass on the bloodline of the Mandate of Heaven, as long as this bloodline is preserved, there will be a Mandate of Heaven person with a trace, if this Mandate of Heaven person can find the holy relics of the Nanzhao inheritance, he will be able to restore the fortune of the country, not only to rebuild the dynasty, but also to rule the world! β
Shen Wansha was a little worried when he said this, "Our Da'an is not small, but the surrounding Liao, Uighur, Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali are not small, and our Da'an Emperor is not small a few years ago...... Well, it's not that good, if it weren't for King Ping's battles everywhere, with his natural handsomeness, deterrence by force, and the new emperor's accession to the throne and letting King Ping play everywhere to beat them to death, we wouldn't be too peaceful now. β
"It's easy to settle down, you can recuperate and cultivate talents, enrich the country and strengthen the army," he sighed faintly, "If this Nanzhao matter is going to make trouble, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble." β
Although Lu Li does not agree with feudal superstition, he can't deny that many times the people in power rely on this set of means, and the ancients believed in cause and effect, believed in heaven and harmony, and there were really mysterious and mysterious things, I am afraid that they could not escape the shackles of thought.
"What are the traces of the Mandate of Heaven? What are the relics of Nanzhao? β
Shen Wansha shook his head, "I don't know." β
Lu Li couldn't help but laugh, "Where did you hear the news?" I'm afraid it's a lie. β
"It's absolutely true! Very few people know this, and I still eavesdrop on my mother...... Eavesdrop on the big guys! Shen Wansha clenched his fists and looked at Lu Li very seriously, defending the correctness of his news, "Don't take it seriously, maybe there are many people in the world looking for this now!" β
"Okay." Lu Li drank the tea in the cup, "The news you said is indeed very mysterious, and it may also be dangerous to Da'an, but what does it have to do with us?" Or rather, what impact does he have on our current case? β
Shen Wansha jumped up, "The impact is great!" β
He counted on his fingers, "There were seven princesses in the last Nanzhao Kingdom, and two of them died when the kingdom was broken, and there were no descendants; There were two who married early, one died in childbirth during the first child, and the other gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the family died together when the country broke; One was a monk and had no children; One of them is married and has a good life, and has children, but her children are not rich in blood, and they die after several generations; There was only one princess left, and this princess was named Domin, who was rebellious and eloped with someone at the age of sixteen, and there was no trace of her. β
"I've read the county records and related records before, heard the stories, and I'm curious here, and I've heard a lot of things from the locals. Little oak, you don't know, this princess Duomin is probably buried nearby! β
Shen Wansha pointed excitedly, "Back then, Princess Duomin fell in love with a man of different races, the man's origin was unknown, and the Nanzhao royal family did not allow marriage, so she simply eloped with someone, fled all the way to the north, picked the border line, and finally settled at the junction of Tubo and Shu. Duo Min is also a princess no matter how she says, even if she eloped, she brought a lot of good things, and some of them were not used, so she was buried with her death, and Princess Duo Min's tomb, according to investigation, many speculations are...... It's nearby! β
β¦β¦
When the two teenagers spoke, Zhao Zhu's face was slightly gloomy and silent. Xing Zuo on the roof whispered to Hong You, "The little king of the Cheshire lord's family is very powerful, and he knows a lot!" β
Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha's very rich facial expression, and finally understood what he wanted to say, "You said that the star picking mentioned that Zhao Shu was trapped in it, is the tomb of Princess Duomin?" β
Shen Wansha nodded immediately, "Although my news channel is secret, I can know, some individuals must also know, others want to read the books I have read, it is normal to think of this, Xiao Oak, that cemetery, if you don't go, others will also go." The earlier you go, the better your chances of getting useful information. β
"No wonder you're going along......"
Lu Li simply got up, "Let's go now." β
Shen Wansha said crisply, and while following Lu Li out, he dragged his arm, "Actually, I know more, I'll tell you......"
"Wait a minute," Lu Li looked back at Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, can you tie up the star?" "The thief's skills are always very powerful, and he is worried that one of them will accidentally pick up the stars and run away.
Zhao Shu nodded almost imperceptibly, "He can't run." β
Lu Li was relieved, and the three of them walked west together.
On the way, Zhao Shu was thinking about whether to take Lu Li to the cemetery.
He did come here for the ancient tomb, and there was a lot of news about Shen Wansha, but they didn't know that this news was sold to several countries by a Jianghu person, whether they really believed in this matter or wanted to take the opportunity to cause chaos, they would be willing to meddle and muddy things.
Da'an was finally able to recuperate, the emperor didn't want to see an unfavorable scene, and he himself didn't like this way of fighting......
He sneaked into the ancient tomb, the cemetery is very large and hidden, and the inside is very gorgeous, but he always feels an inexplicable sense of disobedience. He saw two bones in the final main burial chamber, Lu Li will conduct an autopsy, I don't know if it will be an autopsy? If you can know who is buried in the main tomb, then it will be clear whether this tomb is true or false, and what the intention is.
But the ancient tomb organs are everywhere, and such a secret, does it need to be known to a naΓ―ve and irrelevant teenager like Lu Li?
How did he think that the five people who died looked like spies of the Western Xia army, there were people from Western Xia nearby, and there must be people next to them, the three of them were so big, and the target was too big......
Zhao Zhu finally decided not to take them to the ancient tomb, at least not now. So the three of them took a very biased route, and they walked for a long time, until they reached the mouth of the big crow, and they didn't find any traces.
The big crow has a very big mouth, and there are many traces of all kinds, which is very complex and basically not referenced. Shen Wansha said a lot of mysterious legends about the big crow's mouth, and Lu Li still felt that it must be because of natural geography that this place is very dangerous.
He has no martial arts, and he doesn't plan to take the risk of being a hero, what is under the mouth of this big crow, he still has to catch them to find out, and his small body is forgotten, so he ignored Shen Wansha's various curious words that contained hints, and forcibly pulled Shen Wansha's arm and dragged him to the east.
Gradually, the road began to flatten out and became less difficult to walk, but the rolling dirt slopes and towering mountains not far away made it a little depressing.
Lu Li announced his rest.
Shen Wansha let out a long sigh with a look of regret, "I'm so tired...... Nothing was touched. β
Lu Li's expression was very natural, "Handling cases is very hard, sometimes dozens or even a dozen times are hopeless, and only then can we usher in a little clue." β
Shen Wansha tilted his head, his eyes were slightly quiet, "It's not for nothing that Zhang Meng admires his father......"
"You have to be very, very patient in this business."
Both of them had no martial arts, they walked very lightly, and after chatting a few words, Shen Wansha stopped talking, and rested on the trunk of the tree a little wilted.
Lu Li asked Zhao Zhu, "Are you tired?" β
Zhao Shu didn't speak, and replied with a 'Are you insulting me' look.
Lu Li: ...... Well, you're not tired.
"We've gone far enough today, and if we still can't find any clues for a while, let's take a different route and go back." Lu Li looked around and looked at Zhao Zhu a little confused, "But I seem to be a little lost, do you know how to go back?" β
"Stupid." Zhao Shu laughed at Lu Li very clearly before saying, "Of course I know." β
"That's good." Lu Li raised his eyebrows at him, slightly displeased. The heart said that I asked you to do this, but I was just a bodyguard, what kind of spirit......
Lu Li's eyes were not very friendly, Zhao Shu snorted lightly, obviously not very happy, the two looked at each other, playing momentum competition, to see who could kill whom with their eyes, and who would admit it.
When the atmosphere was blazing, a tender 'whoop' suddenly drew their attention back.
Turning his head, Shen Wansha was excitedly waving at a white-haired dumpling not far away, and his mouth was snorting, "Come on, come here, I brought jerky today, come here and give it to you!" β
Lu Li was stunned, it turned out to be the white wolf.
The little white wolf hesitated for a while before slowly walking towards this direction.
When they got closer, Shen Wansha saw that it was holding a bone in its mouth, and his voice was even more light and pleasant, "Wow, did you bring us a gift?" Really good, the young master brought enough jerky today, and I'll give it to you when you come over......"
The little wolf refused to get any closer, Shen Wansha simply threw the jerky out, but he didn't throw it too far, if the little wolf approached, he might be able to touch it.
The little wolf was very vigilant, and ran over, but very quickly put down the bone in his mouth, and at the same time picked up the jerky and ran. Probably because of the feeding behavior, the wolf cub was not particularly wary of them, and after running to a distance that it thought was safe, he stopped, munched on the jerky, and enjoyed the deliciousness.
Shen Wansha was very unhappy that he didn't touch the little wolf. He picked up the bones that the little wolf threw on the ground, paused, and shook at Lu Li proudly, "This is its toy, I'll use this to guide it later, and I will definitely let it play with me!" β
Lu Li saw the bones in Shen Wansha's hand clearly, his face suddenly sank, and his voice was stern, "I'll put that one down." β
"Why?" Shen Wansha's eyes rolled, as if he understood something, and hugged his bones tightly, "I know!" You want to snatch the bones and tease the little wolf yourself! I don't want to lose to you today! β
Lu Li sighed, "Shen Wansha, that bone is the human tibia. β
"The ...... of man Bone? Shen Wansha stiffly looked down at the bones, and suddenly threw them away as if they were on fire, shouting and jumping up, "This is a human bone?" Little oak, don't scare me! β
Lu Li nodded very regretfully.
Shen Wansha immediately untied his coat and took it off, and at the end he wiped his hands with his shirt, "Mother, it's so scary, I actually touched the bones of a dead man!" β
Lu Li stood up, picked up the bone, and looked at the little wolf not far away, "Brother Zhao, can you catch up with the wolf?" βγ
