Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 71 The Origin of Loulan

Who else but him? I said it in my heart, but I didn't say it. From the legend told by Fang Jinhua before, you can know a thing or two, plus it is compared with the petroglyphs on this stone wall, it is even more certain, of course, I can't guess anyone else except Xu Fu.

"Look at this sailboat, do you think it looks familiar?" Xu Yunshu asked.

Zhang Deming stared at the ship and looked at it, in fact, the things painted on these petroglyphs were very rough, only some simple lines, but these lines grasped the essential characteristics of things, so that people could distinguish the difference.

"The appearance and ...... of the sailboat in the painting It's ...... worse than the ghost ship we got on before. Almost?? Zhang Deming asked in a tone of uncertainty.

"Hmm~ It's really similar!" Hu Yunting also nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhang Deming said in horror: "That ghost ship can't be the one on the painting, right?" No wonder...... No wonder that ship is so weird......"

Xu Yunshu shook her head slightly and said, "It shouldn't be the same ship!" It is located in the northwest, that is, the Western Regions in ancient times, and the ship in the painting sails in the sea. It's thousands of kilometers from the sea, so how could the boat in the painting be transported here? ”

Ji Shanchuan interjected and said, "Let's put the ship matter aside first, you haven't said who brought these Loulan people back?" ”

Xu Yunshu pointed to the sailboat on the petroglyph and said: "Look at this ship, although there are only a few strokes, but there are two flags specially painted on it, which of you can read the words on the flag?" ”

"It seems to be...... I don't know, it's a traditional character! Zhang Deming climbed on the wall and looked at it for a long time but didn't recognize it.

"It's not a traditional character, it's a small seal!" Xu Yunshu said, "That's a 'Qin' character, a 'Xu' character!" ”

"The word 'Qin'?" Xu's word? ”

Xu Yunshu explained: "'Qin' is the meaning of Great Qin......

"Great Qin? Qin Shi Huang? Luan Kun shouted, in their cognition, there was only one person in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang, and he was a little impressed, but this time he really hit the right one.

"It's Qin Shi Huang!" Xu Yunshu said.

"What about 'Xu'?" Luan Kun asked.

"Xu Fu!" Xu Yunshu replied.

"Do you mean that it was Xu Fu who brought these overseas people back to the Central Plains and established Loulan?" Ji Shanchuan asked in surprise.

"That's what it means!" Xu Yunshu said.

"That's a little weird, isn't it?" Ji Shanchuan couldn't believe it.

Xu Yunshu said: "This does sound a little incomprehensible. However, as for the origin of Loulan Kingdom, there is indeed such a statement that overseas immigrants are there, but because there is neither historical record nor strong evidence, there are very few experts and scholars who support this statement, and everyone has not heard of it. ”

"Looks like your mentor is one of the few ones?" I asked Xu Yunshu.

Xu Yunshu denied it: "My teacher is not very supportive, but he also does not deny the possibility of such a statement." Because there has always been a legend that Xu Fu brought back aliens from overseas, and Xu Fu went to sea several times in the third century BC, and the establishment of the Loulan Kingdom was also around the third century BC, at least in terms of time! It's just that there is a lack of strong evidence...... If experts and scholars from the outside world know about these rock paintings, I think at least the statement that 'Loulan was established by overseas immigrants' can be more credible! ”

"Why is there no record in the history books about the establishment of the Loulan Kingdom?" Hu Yunting asked.

Xu Yunshu explained: "As far as I know, the earliest historical record of this place in Loulan is mentioned in the "Historical Records", and there is no historical data before that. Since no one knows the specific time of Loulan's disappearance, after the destruction of Loulan, many of its histories were buried by yellow sand along with the city. Although the ruins of Guloulan have now been rediscovered, many things can never be recovered......"

"Hi~ Actually, I think that even if Loulan is not swallowed by the yellow sand, it will have to be wiped out by the ruler of the Central Plains at that time!" Jar said.

"Why?" I was surprised that the altar could discuss the topic in a serious manner.

"Do you think, the ancients wrote poems and took Loulan at every turn, which shows how much hatred the Central Plains people have for Loulan?" The altar said, "What is 'Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken', 'I am willing to put the sword under my waist and go straight to kill Loulan', 'I don't need to take it to kill Loulan', 'When is it too late for the subject country to return, Loulan will not be returned', which one is not to take Loulan to open the knife?" Therefore, Loulan must have been too hateful in ancient times! ”

"Dwarf oil~ good! I only found out today that you know so many ancient poems! I complimented the altar and said, "Yes! ”

The altar said proudly: "Usually I am not rare to have the same knowledge as you, in fact, the talent of my buddy can be said to be rare in the sky, and it is difficult to find it underground, I can memorize hundreds of these poems for you every minute......"

At this time, Azmat walked up and asked Tanzi with a questioning face: "Didn't I tell you what I told you when I introduced the Loulan ruins before?" You even asked me to say a few more poems at that time, and since you already knew it, why did you want me to tell it to you? Are you testing me? ”

After listening to Azmat's words, the face of the altar immediately drooped. A few of us couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After a while, Xu Yunshu slightly suppressed his smile, and then answered what Hu Yunting asked: "Although there is no record of the founding of Loulan in the official history and the wild history, but in my mentor's book, it is written that the name of the founding monarch of Loulan is Gejia, and after he moved to Lop Nur with his people, he saw that the water and grass here were abundant, so he took root here and built a city. And Gejia became the first generation of King Loulan! Then she changed her tone and said: "But these are all in that book, and there is no record of Loulan Jianguo except for that book...... At least neither I nor my mentor have seen or heard of it! In the official history, the earliest record of King Loulan should be Angui. After he succeeded to the throne, he threw himself into the Xiongnu, and sent troops to attack and kill the Han envoys several times, so that the Han Dynasty sent Fu Jiezi to assassinate the king of Loulan. After the successful assassination, the Han Dynasty established Tu Qi as the new king of Loulan...... However, there was a gap of about 100 years between Gejia and Angui, and I think Angui should be the fifth or sixth king of Loulan. ”

"What about these...... Uh, what about these overseas people after they return to the Central Plains? Hu Yunting asked.

Xu Yunshu returned to the wall and looked at the petroglyphs and said, "You see, there are five people of these aliens on the petroglyphs, divided into two groups, four people left, and one person stayed in place. This shows that after they returned to the Central Plains, they didn't know why, most of them left the Central Plains, and only a few stayed...... It seems that the part of the people who left the Central Plains are the ones who came here...... The book in my teacher's hand is basically consistent with the description on the petroglyph, which means that the book is not nonsense......"
