"Prairie Stone Man?" Hearing Lai Zi's explanation, Zhang Meng looked at the scattered grassland stone people in front of him with a blank expression, and then turned his head to look at Lai Zi, and asked puzzledly: "What is the grassland stone man?" ”

"Stupid, don't you know how to read?" The fat man slapped one hand on the stone man and said, "Isn't it the one who carved in stone?" ”

At this time, all the off-road vehicles turned off, and the people in the cars also walked down.

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I don't know what you're talking about. Zhang Meng really couldn't stand the fat man's nonsense, and immediately scolded angrily. Then he looked at the stone man who was more than one person tall next to him, touched it curiously, and asked Laizi: "Brother Laizi, I think you seem to be very happy, is there anything else that this grassland stone man can't say?" ”

"Say? Of course, there is a saying, and it is said in our favor. Lai Zi looked at his eyes and discerned the direction of everyone at the moment, and then said, "Do you know the origin of the stone man?" ”

"What is the origin of this steppe stone man?" Hearing Laizi's words, Xiaolou on the side asked.

"No...... No...... It's not this steppe stone man. Lai Zi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about the origin of the stone man." ”

"Is it a funeral object?" Listening to Laizi deliberately increase the volume when talking about 'origin', Lady Na on the side smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes, that's right." Laizi nodded hurriedly.

Everyone looked at Lady Na in puzzlement, with Lady Na's knowledge, it is impossible to understand this exotic thing, right?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Lady Na smiled and explained lightly: "There are indeed many records of the grassland stone people. In our Chinese history, although there are few records about the stone people, it is not nothing, most of the ancient Chinese burial goods are ceramics and gold ornaments, so few people will pay attention to other burial goods, but in the late Shang Dynasty heroine woman good tomb, there has been unearthed about ten centimeters high male slave stone people. Oh, by the way, I remember it's in the National Museum of China right now......"

"Oh." Zhang Meng nodded, no wonder Lai Zi would mention the origin of the stone man, it seems that this stone man is not unique to the grassland people.

"In ancient times, the stone people were called Weng Zhong! Weng Zhong is a general with outstanding arm strength under Qin Shi Huang. Judging from the current discoveries, most of the stone people are distributed in the Eurasian steppe, but since the Shang Dynasty, with the appearance of bronze objects, there are fewer stone people. However, a few years ago, the archaeological community found a large number of steppe stone people near the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, which is also the largest number of grassland stone people in China so far. After speaking, Lady Na looked at everyone and said, "Of course, there are still many historical materials, and we don't have technical interpretations yet." ”

"I see."

Seeing that Lady Na had no other explanation, Lai Zi shook her head with a smile and said, "Although in our Han ethnic group, since the appearance of bronze ware, it has gradually replaced stone people, but later there was a wave of stone man fever. ”

"Oh?" Looking at Lai Zi's confident appearance, Zhang Meng hurriedly asked, "What period is it?" ”

"The end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty." Lai Zi smiled: "Have you ever heard such a story? ”

"What's the story?" Zhang Meng became interested.

"The stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel against the world!" Listening to Lai Zi's words, Zhao San and Liu Tang on the side seemed to think of something at the same time, and they all spoke out in unison.

"Oh?" Seeing Zhao San and Liu Tang's reactions, Zhang Meng asked, "You also know?" ”

"Hey, don't you know, this story is the origin of the Ming Dynasty." Taking advantage of the break, Zhao San picked up his cigarette again, and when he saw that Liu Tang also knew, he immediately pointed at Liu Tang and said, "I said the red-haired ghost of the Ye family, you can tell them what is going on." ”

"It's still the third uncle." Liu Tang knew the prestige of the six doors of the Zhang family a long time ago, so he hurriedly said respectfully.

"Let you tell the juniors, where is there so much nonsense?" Zhao San said with a smile.

"That's fine." Seeing Zhang San so cheerful and straightforward, Liu Tang immediately cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, this is related to ancient proverbs. ”

"Proverbs?"

"It's the folk jokes and nursery rhymes that have been circulated, and they have finally come true." The fat man gave an example and said: "When we were in Kunlun Mountain, didn't we talk about the meteorite in the Qin Shi Huang period? The words engraved on the meteorite said: It is said that people die and the earth is divided, and as a result, the Qin Dynasty will perish when it reaches the hands of Qin II, which is a proverb. ”

"Oh." Zhang Meng nodded.

"That's exactly what the fat guy said." Liu Tang patted the fat man's shoulder with a smile and said: "The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were brutal and unkind, and they didn't treat the Han people as human beings at all. Han Shantong, the commander of the Red Turban Army, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, were also part of the Red Turban Army, and they felt that their strength was small and they would be eliminated by Yuanmeng sooner or later, so they thought of a way to use the proverbs from the sky. He sent people to bury a one-eyed stone man by the Yellow River overnight, and also sent people to spread a nursery rhyme everywhere: The stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel against the world. Seeing that Shiren only had one eye, people thought that Yuanmeng would perish sooner or later, and finally this superstitious statement stimulated the anti-Yuan enthusiasm of the common people, and they joined the Red Turban Army one after another, and finally overthrew the Yuanmeng regime. ”

"That is to say, the stone man has a certain warning significance for the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Meng nodded and said, "But why, would they think that the one-eyed stone man is a bad omen?" ”

Hearing Zhang Meng's question, Lai Zicai continued to pick up the topic and said, "This has to go back to the origin of the stone man." ”

"Huh?"

"The development of Shiren is actually divided into two parts, one is our Han tomb burial culture; The other part is the stone man culture of the grassland. ”

"After talking about it for a long time, I got to the point." At this time, the fat man, who had already checked all the stone figures, pouted, and seemed to be confident about these steppe stone people, but he put it up.

"Heh, you've finally grown." Laizi pointed at the fat man and asked, "Then tell me, what do you see from these carvers?" ”

"I know why you're telling the story of the Chaoshi people, but the circle is too big." The fat man pointed to the stone man behind him with confidence and said, "Look at this rough line, it is obviously a nomadic carver......"

"Since you can see that it is a nomadic carver, why don't you take a closer look at the stone?" Lai Zi looked at the fat man meaningfully and smiled: "Actually, although the carver is a nomadic carver, there are a few stones in it that are not made of northern stones, and only in the southwest of China are this kind of stone." ”

"You mean to say?" The fat man muttered.

"At first, I thought I had found a clue, but this clue is suspicious, and I don't know what is going on." Lai Zi shook his head, and seeing that Zhang Meng and the others didn't understand, he immediately said: "Let's go back to the topic, the grassland stone people culture has experienced various nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, Sushen, Khitan, and Mongolian, but it has never been interrupted. ”

"Why?" Xiao Lou asked.

"I think it has something to do with the shamanic culture that has always prevailed in the grasslands." The pheasant, who has been teasing Haidongqing, said a rare word.

"Shaman?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly, "What does this have to do with shamanism?" ”

"Of course, it has to do with it, the steppe stone man and the deer stone are a form of shamanism. It is not only the worship of heroes, but also the worship of ancestors. Lai Zi said with a smile: "Of course, there is also a saying that in the later period of primitive society, the matrilineal society was transformed into a patrilineal society, and the fertility cult was triggered. ”

"So what's this now?" was confused by Laizi, Zhang Meng asked directly.

"Look at the carving of the stone people, it should not be the Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan period, as the fat man said, it is very likely to be the grassland stone people of the Yuanmeng period, if it is the Yuanmeng stone people, it should be related to the tomb that Lady Na said."

"Hey!" Hearing Lai Zi say this, the fat man shook his head and pouted: "Speaking of which, it's not all funeral goods. ”

"That means that whether it is the Chinese people or the grassland peoples, they all regard the stone people as part of the tomb burial goods, right?" Zhang Meng grasped the point, and vaguely felt that Lai Zi said so many things about the grassland stone people, it would definitely not be so simple, and it was very likely that it was related to the tomb they were looking for.

"Actually, it's not all explained that way."

"Hey, it doesn't matter what he does." The fat man said: "Having said so much, don't you just suspect that there are tombs from the Yuanmeng period near here?" ”

Seeing that the fat man pointed out, Zhang Meng also looked at Lai Zi with a sudden realization, and asked softly: "Could it be that this is the tomb of Genghis Khan we are looking for?" ”

"How is that possible!" Hearing the words of Zhang Meng and the fat man, Lady Na on the side said: "If the tomb of Genghis Khan was found so easily, wouldn't the country have already discovered the secret here?" ”

"What the hell does that mean?" Listening to Lady Na's blow, Zhang Meng looked at Lai Zi, his patience had been exhausted by Lai Zi.

"If I have to explain, my intuition tells me that these steppe stone people in front of me must have a great connection with Genghis Khan's mausoleum." Lai Zi rarely says something unsubstantiated to prove something, but today's Lai Zi is very abnormal.

Looking at Laizi with a determined expression, Zhang Meng and the fat man glanced at each other with some puzzlement, and then shook their heads at each other.

"Isn't that too child's play?" Just when Zhang Meng and the fat man were puzzled, Ye Jiu on the side also opened his mouth.

"Hmm......" Lai Zi pondered for a while, raised his legs and walked in the direction of the group of grassland stone men, and said as he walked: "As for whether it is too child's play, let's see if these stone men carve it?" ”

Hearing this, the fat man hurriedly chased after him, speaking of which, among their group of people, the fat man was really the only one who was best at the study of murals and words.

The fat man followed Lai Zi forward, and whispered: "I said Lai Zi, don't you know if there is a tomb near here if you use the Lower Dividing Gold Acupoint Technique?" ”
