Chapter 4: The Source of the Ural Khan
When did the Ural Khan tribe originate?
When Torture asked Torret this question, Torreux didn't answer him immediately, but took Torture, Lian Jiuqi, and Ma Fei to the makeshift horse farm next to the camp, and took out a notebook from under the saddle of his own horse.
Torri flipped through the notebook: "I was immersed in learning Chinese, learning Chinese, that is, I wanted to understand the history of the tribe, because we don't have our own written language, but there are many strange legends and strange beliefs left in the tribe, so I want to find out. ”
Torture asked, "What did you find?" ”
"I studied the history of China in detail, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, and the alliance defeated the Chiyou, and finally formed Huaxia, at that time, north of China, there were many nomadic tribes, these tribes were not as unified as the Chinese, almost a plate of scattered sand, until the Warring States period of China, these tribes were basically driven to the edge of the desert." Torret looked at his notebook, the records on it were actually very simple, those simple summaries were followed by notes, which said this paragraph, from which book he saw it, "Eventually these nomadic tribes formed three large ethnic ......"
Lian Jiuqi took Torlie's words: "Yueshi, Donghu and Xiongnu. ”
Torlie nodded: "Yes, later Qin unified the world, but not long after, the civil war of China's first imperial dynasty began, and the Xiongnu took advantage of this time to fight back, and then the Han Dynasty was established, and the perennial war and strategy against the Xiongnu divided the Xiongnu into two large tribes in the north and south......"
Xingshu shook his head: "We all know this, let's get to the point." ”
Torlie looked at the torture technique: "In fact, there are many objects left by the Tang Dynasty in the Ural Khan tribe, and the Sealing Knife is just one of them, there is a batch of them buried by my father more than ten years ago, I was still very young at the time, it can be said that I was still a child, I saw them dig a big pit by the lake, and then drink water into it, and then cover it with mud, plus some of the things left in the tribe, there is an ancient Khitan script, so, I think, the Ural Khan tribe should be a branch of the Khitan, And it was the first branch to split from the Khitan. ”
Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "Why do you think so?" ”
Torrei opened his notebook and pointed to the two lines of words on it: "You see, the line on the left is the Khitan script, and the right side is another Khitan script that I imitated and drew on some cowhides of the tribe according to my memory, I later checked, this kind of tribe should be the ancient Khitan script, you should know that the later Khitan script is based on the Chinese language, but the ancient Khitan script is closer to the earliest hieroglyphs, it can be said that every word is like a small painting, quite complicated......"
With the help of his wife, Torri once found a professor of history at a university in Mongolia, and under the guidance of the professor, he discovered that the most amazing thing about the ancient Khitan script is that sometimes a complex word contains a sentence, or even a thing.
Torlie said: "The Liao State also had a conflict because of the ancient Khitan script and the later Khitan script, at that time it was Yelu Deguang, the second son of Yelu Abaoji, who advocated the use of the ancient Khitan script, and his elder brother Yelu Bei agreed with his father Yelu Abaoji's practice, that is, to create a new Khitan script according to Chinese characters, so the two brothers had a great conflict. ”
"Wait! You just said that it was Yelubei who advocated the use of the new Khitan script? The torture technique immediately asked, and after seeing Torlie nodding, he looked at Ma Fei again, "The era when the Cast Iron Immortal appeared and built the Heaven and Earth Mansion in the Bohai Kingdom should be later than this period, right?" ”
Maffei recalled: "Yes, it must have been later than this period. ”
Lian Jiuqi looked at the appearance of the torture technique, and immediately asked, "What did you think of?" ”
"I think that since I started from the Heaven and Earth Mansion, I may have been misled by the stories left by the murals and light and shadow in it." Xingshu took Torlie's notebook and flipped through it, looked at it carefully, shook his head from time to time, looked at it for at least half an hour, and finally closed the notebook and said, "I have a bold guess, Yelubei is actually the same person as the Cast Iron Immortal. ”
Ma Fei said: "We know this, didn't you find out in the Heaven and Earth Mansion?" ”
"No, no, no!" Xingshu shook his head, "The clue I got in the Heaven and Earth Mansion is that there is a Taoist priest who claims to be a cast iron immortal in the Bohai Kingdom, this person may be from the Tang Dynasty, after the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, he lured Yelubei to come to the Heaven and Earth Mansion, kill Yelubei, and replace him." ”
Ma Fei said: "Yes, isn't that the clue you got at that time? ”
"We may be wrong, I think, maybe there is no cast iron immortal at all. ”
Lian Jiuqi asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The cast iron immortal is Yelubei, and Yelubei is the cast iron immortal, Yelubei is in the front, and the cast iron immortal is in the back." Xingshu frowned and said, "Otherwise, it's unreasonable, think about it, most of the clues we have found are directly related to the Khitan, if the Cast Iron Immortal himself is not a Khitan, even if he has the identity of a prince, he will not brand everything he creates with the Khitan logo, right?" Moreover, it can be found in the history books, Yelubei is a very deep degree of sinicization, in today's words, basically belongs to a person who admires foreign flattery, and he even advocates the full sinicization of the Khitan, but the queen Shu Luping at that time wanted to maintain the tradition, in this context, Yelubei gave up the throne. ”
Lian Jiuqi pondered: "You mean, how could a person like Yelubei give up the throne so easily?" Maybe he had something else in mind? Have other dreams? ”
Xingshu nodded: "I'm just guessing, guessing according to the existing fragmentary clues, as for whether it's right or not, it depends on what clues we will get later, Brother Torlie, have you found out the specific origin time of your tribe?" ”
Torlie nodded, and then shook his head again: "No, just like you, I can only guess that the tribe should have originated from the Khitan, but it was split before the establishment of the Liao State, because there is nothing left here related to the Liao State." ”
As Torri was talking, he saw the eyes of Ma Fei, Xingshu, and Lian Jiuqi all looking behind him, and he immediately turned around and saw his father, Lu Erlie, standing there.
Luerlie looked at Torret and simply said, "Take them and follow me." ”
When the torturers followed Lu Erlie into his big tent, Lu Erlie stopped and stood still, turned to Torlie and said, "They have to leave early tomorrow morning. ”
Torrei hurriedly said, "Father, their injuries have not healed yet. ”
Lu Erlie said coldly: "Starting tomorrow, the next five days will be the annual hunting period of the Golden Eagle Tribe, their warriors will leave the tribe, almost pouring out, leaving behind almost the old and weak women and children, if they miss this time, they will not have any chance to get close to the Golden Eagle Tribe." ”
"But......" Torree glanced at them with some embarrassment, and then said to Luerlie, "You also know that there is no such thing as the so-called old and weak women and children in the Golden Eagle Tribe, and even the women who have just given birth to them can take up arms and fight the enemy!" ”
Lu Erlie said angrily: "Then let me ask you, are you willing to let them face the warriors of the Golden Eagle Tribe, or the women and children?" ”
Torree was silent, but turned around and repeated his father's words to the torturers and the others.
After hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other, but none of them spoke.
Torrei said: "I know you are very difficult, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, you must go to the Golden Eagle Tribe, you have made a choice, and now it is impossible for you to even regret entering the snow storm, tradition is tradition......"
Ma Fei gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "What a hell tradition! It's nothing more than asking foreigners to help you get things back under the guise of tradition! I don't have the ability, I don't have the strength, but I have to force others to go, no wonder I am so backward and ignorant! ”
Torret couldn't refute Maffei's words, and when Lurlie saw Maffei's expression, he immediately asked, "What did she say?" ”
Torrei immediately said, "It's nothing, it's just worrying." ”
"Hmph-" Lu Erlie snorted coldly, turned around and sat down, "I think they are afraid, they want to regret it, they want to run away!" ”
Torret immediately said, "No, father, don't worry, it won't. ”
"Father?" Luerlie raised his head and looked at Torre, "You are not qualified to call me that, I don't have a foreign son like you!" You tell them that if they don't go tomorrow, they'll all die! ”
Lu Erlie nodded: "They will go, they will leave early tomorrow morning, and you can ask the warriors of the wolf head to send them to the periphery of the territory of the Golden Eagle Tribe." ”
Lu Erlie said coldly: "Of course, if they want to run, the warriors of the wolf head will definitely let them be in a different place!" ”
When everyone returned to the tent and listened to what Torret had relayed, Ma Fei stood up suddenly, and was about to walk out, when he was grabbed by the wrist by the torturer: "Calm down, we can't fight hard, it's almost the same as looking for death, and besides, if you do this, it will make Torret brother very embarrassed." ”
Ma Fei was so angry that he couldn't speak, sat down again, and said for a long time: "If you go, you will die, if you don't go, you will die, if you don't go, at least we can die together!" It's better to fight! ”
Torture comforted Ma Fei: "Don't be like this, you won't necessarily die if you go, this time we are not going to snatch the Sealing Sword, but to steal it." ”
Ma Fei looked at the torture technique: "If it was so easy to steal out, the people of this tribe would have succeeded a long time ago!" ”
The torture technique was also a little anxious: "Ma Fei, you weren't like this before, you calm down." ”
Ma Fei closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, but he still couldn't calm down his emotions, and got up again and said, "I'll go out for a while, don't worry, I won't do stupid things, I'm just going out for a walk." ”
Ma Fei left, and the torture technique did not stop it anymore, but only sighed slightly.
Lian Jiuqi, who was sitting on the side, said in a low voice: "Torture, this girl is actually worried about you, you should understand, right?" ”
Torture glanced at Lian Jiuqi and nodded silently, of course he knew that he was not a fool, since he left Harbin, until now, Ma Fei has always been by his side, her every word and deed, every move reveals her love for torture, it is impossible for him not to know about torture, but he can't accept Ma Fei's like because he is afraid.
Maybe it was the relationship between father and son, Lian Jiuqi saw the concerns of the torture technique: "What are you afraid of?" There is a woman in this world who cares about you and worries about you, and this cannot be exchanged for anything. ”
Torrei also said: "I can see that Ma Fei cares about you very much, but why are you indifferent, having a woman who loves you is the happiest thing, believe me, I know better than anyone else." After saying that, a happy smile appeared on Torre's face, and everyone knew that he must have remembered his beautiful wife.
The torturer was silent for a long time, wanting to say something, but he swallowed it again, and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Ma Fei was walking around the tent, circle after circle, pacing slowly, and muttering words in his mouth. She had done this because the day before she had seen several Ural Khan women walking around the tent. She was curious, and asked Torret to find out that they were begging their men, the warriors of several wolf heads, to be safe.
For the women of the Ural Khan tribe, even if a man leaves the tribe to hunt, it is a so-called "expedition", because accidents can arise at any time, especially on this land - under the calm surface of the steppe, there are countless dangers.
At the moment of knowing this custom, Ma Fei also experienced for the first time what is called "women's helplessness", she can't help the torture technique, and she can't even calm down and think about the countermeasures, because no matter what she does now, even if she falls asleep peacefully, she only sees the torture technique in her dreams.
When did you start feeling that way about this man? Maffei wanted to know, she thought that as long as she found that point in time, she could find her "motive", so as to completely kill this "motive" in a simple and clear way.
It's a pity that she can't find it, or rather, she wants to find that point in time, which has proved that she is completely caught in this "love affair" that is still unrequited love.
The women of the Ural Khan tribe in the distance looked at Mafei who was walking around the tent with curious eyes, whispering something.
I've only been here for half a month, and even these people who can't communicate normally can see my thoughts, can't they feel the torture? Thinking like this, Ma Fei closed her eyes again and continued to walk around the tent, she could only hope that tomorrow's "expedition" of torture would be safe and smooth.
Inside the tent, the torture technique, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I...... I don't really know any of this, maybe, I still need to exercise and learn, I need experience. ”
The embarrassing words of the torture technique made even Jiuqi and Torlie laugh.
Lian Jiuqi said: "Love is such a thing, not to identify antiques, not to be a chaser, no experience is required, only those playboys, people who regard feelings as playthings, will regard love experience as a treasure, I ...... with you"
When Lian Jiuqi said this, he stopped, and Xingshu looked at him strangely, but he didn't know that what he originally wanted to say was "me and your mother".
Lian Jiuqi paused, and deliberately squeezed out another smile: "When my wife and I were in love, it was also very tortuous, but nothing could stop us, at that time our relationship was opposed by many people, the more we objected, the more we had to be together, through those difficulties, when we lived together peacefully, we found that in fact, everything we faced back then was not the hardest, the most difficult thing was, how to maintain a lifelong relationship...... Uh, I might be off topic. ”
Torrei didn't understand Lian Jiuqi's words: "How to maintain it? That's not a problem. ”
Lian Jiuqi simply said, "Not everyone is the same as you. ”
Torrei still didn't understand, so he turned to torture and said, "I suggest that you should take the initiative. ”
Torture took a deep breath: "I don't know, I'm actually afraid, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"
He didn't say what he was afraid of for a long time, and at the same time, Ma Fei also happened to walk to the tent, heard the conversation of the people inside, and subconsciously stopped, stood there and listened, rubbing a few weeds that had just been torn off in his hands.
Lian Jiuqi said bluntly: "Are you afraid of another failure, right?" Just like when you were with He Chenxue. ”
When Ma Fei outside the tent heard this, he almost didn't rush in and shouted: "I am different from He Chenxue!" But she held back, what she wanted to hear most now was what the torture technique was all about.
Torture Shu sat there dumbfounded, and He Chenxue's appearance appeared in front of him again, and he shook his head, trying to disperse He Chenxue's shadow like smoke.
"She's nice, but I can't tell what she's good about, but I love the feeling of being cared for, but I don't know if it's selfishness or if it's my liking for her." Torture said calmly, "I sometimes look forward to her appearing in front of me and being by my side, but I'm also afraid that because of something, we will be separated, and I don't know what I'm talking about, my mind is very messy, and there are too many things to pretend." ”
Ma Fei's heart beat faster outside the tent, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard the words of torture.
But then, Lian Jiuqi asked: "Who is the 'she' in what you just said?" Is it He Chenxue or Ma Fei? ”
As soon as Lian Jiuqi's words came out, the torture technique and Ma Fei at the door of the tent were stunned at the same time.
Ma Fei's smile gradually disappeared on his face, replaced by a face full of nervousness, and he originally firmly thought that he was talking about Ma Fei's torture technique, but suddenly he was puzzled, and he hesitated for a long time without saying who "she" was.
Tor Lie looked at Xingshu and Lian Jiuqi for some reason, unable to understand what the father and son wanted to say and do, and didn't understand why Lian Jiuqi had repeatedly told him not to tell Xingshu the fact that he was his father.
Just when the torture technique was about to speak, Lian Jiuqi took the first step and said: "What you are afraid of in your heart is not actually losing, but that you have not completely forgotten He Chenxue, how to say it, as an elder, and at the same time as your senior brother......" Speaking of this, Lian Jiuqi couldn't help laughing, "I can only tell you that you are not selfish in doing this, but that you have not come out of the shadow of that relationship, even if you keep telling yourself that it is just your unilateral contribution, but I also know that He Chenxue cannot have no feelings for you, That's where you struggle the most. ”
Outside the tent, Ma Fei, who was standing at the door, slowly lowered his hands, and the weeds that he had been holding tightly slipped from his palms, and then, Ma Fei turned and left, from walking to walking, and from fast walking to running......
"No, Maffei is fine." Torture smiled, "I'm actually very clear, why is it clear?" Because sometimes feelings need to be contrasted, and after comparison, the superior and inferior judgments are made. ”
Lian Jiuqi shook his head with a smile: "Make a judgment from above...... Feelings can be compared, but don't use this too blunt language to describe it. ”
Torture also laughed, and Torrei was stunned, and then laughed stupidly.
But the torture didn't know that Ma Fei didn't hear his last sentence at all, and it was also the most crucial sentence.
He didn't know that Ma Fei was actually waiting for this sentence of his most straightforward description of feelings. 2k reading web
