Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 70 Petroglyphs in the Gate
I pursed my lips and said, "You, you run the train with one mouth." This is the underground cave of Lop Nur, and it is not a history museum, who will put a camera here? Even if you want to put it, you may not be able to find a place! ”
"This is the sign of the early Guloulan!" Xu Yunshu suddenly said this.
"What?" Everyone screamed.
I asked Xu Yunshu, "How do you know?" ”
Xu Yunshu said: "The research direction of my graduate thesis is the archaeology of ancient Loulan cultural relics, of course, I need to know more about Loulan, whether it is the official history or the wild history, or the folklore, I have collected a lot." And my mentor is an expert in studying Guloulan, so of course I know a little more. However, the symbol of this person's face has not been mentioned in the official history, nor has I seen it in the wild history, I saw it from an unknown and broken ancient book in the hands of my mentor, the cover of the book is only half, and only the words "West" and "History" are left on it, and the meaning of the history should be the lost history, as for the word "West", my teacher thinks it should be the word "Western Regions". There are only a dozen pages left in the broken book, but several of the things recorded in it are related to the Western Regions, and most of them are about Loulan. My tutor searched all kinds of sources and couldn't find any mention of the book. Because I don't know the origin of that book, and I can't be sure of its authority, the book only records some anecdotes. Through the identification of the paper, it was found that the broken ancient book was about 400 years ago, that is, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the things in the book were all more than 2,000 years ago, whether it was true or not, no one knows, maybe the author really knows the history, or it may be that the author is talking nonsense to attract people's attention. ”
I said, "That looks like real now." ”
Xu Yunshu nodded: "This is Lop Nur, it is the ancient Loulan, if there is really a tomb behind this door, it should be connected with Loulan, then it can verify whether this face is the totem of ancient Loulan." ”
At this moment, the stone door was pushed open little by little, revealing the deep cavern inside.
This stone gate only separates this cave from its narrowest part, and there is still a long way to go inside.
"See? This is the way out! This is called the road of heaven and earth! Jin Yuxiang laughed, but I seemed to hear a little disappointment in his laughter.
"You guessed wrong this time, it's not a tomb!" The altar said to Xu Yunshu with a smile.
I saw Xu Yunshu stop by the mountain wall, and a searchlight looked at the mountain wall, and then turned his head to the altar and said, "Is it?" ”
I walked up to Xu Yunshu and saw clearly through the light in her hand, there were many petroglyphs painted on the mountain wall.
With this new discovery, everyone has also gathered. These petroglyphs depict ships, people, houses, and cities, but I don't know what these paintings are trying to express.
"Tell me, Professor Xu?" I asked Xu Yunshu for advice, "What are the pictures on this, why can't we understand them?" ”
Xu Yunshu said: "The painting here should be the origin of the Loulan people. ”
"The origin of the Loulan people?"
"In fact, there have always been different voices on the establishment of Guloulan in China, and some people think that Guloulan people are the ethnic minorities of the Western Regions, because their living habits are very similar to those of the Western Regions. However, some people believe that the Guloulan people migrated from the Central Plains because their clothing is similar to that of the Central Plains, but only slightly different, which is also due to the integration of local cultural characteristics. Xu Yunshu said, "There is also a saying that is called the Arabian Nights, some people say that the Guloulan people originally lived overseas and were an overseas people, and later Xu Fu brought their people back to the Central Plains after going to sea." After living in the Central Plains for a period of time, due to the incompatibility of folk customs, they went to the Western Regions and established the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”
Xu Fu ?!! Overseas Ethnic ?!! "Tanzi and I were both shocked when we heard this. This is very apt to what we saw in that ancient tomb in Jinzhou. Although I can't tell when the tomb was, when Xu Fu was given the throne, Haiwan was clearly written on the sign-off.
"Is that ethnic group called the Haiwan tribe?" I looked left and right and asked Xu Yunshu in a low voice.
Xu Yunshu was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
I didn't answer directly, but went on to ask her, "The last statement can't be based on folklore, right?" "This reminds me of the legends about the demon clan that Fang Jinhua told me and Tanzi.
Xu Yunshu did not deny it: "There is indeed some connection!" In fact, not all folklore is fictional and indiscriminate, and some are still traceable, and it is also based on some real things and exaggerated. ”
I asked her, "Which one do you agree with?" ”
"It doesn't matter which one I agreed with before, but I'll only agree with that kind of fantasy in the future." Xu Yunshu pointed to the petroglyphs and said.
"Then tell us what these petroglyphs mean?" I said to Xu Yunshu.
Xu Yunshu was not in a hurry, she asked me instead: "Then why don't you tell me how you know the name Haiwan first?" "I gently pulled Xu Yunshu aside and briefly explained what we encountered in Jinzhou.
"And how do you know?"
"I also read it from the teacher's book, saying that Loulan was established by the Haiwan tribe, an overseas alien race......"
"I see!"
At this time, Xu Yunshu turned his attention back to the petroglyphs, and nodded and said, "This petroglyph is really depicted like this......
"What the hell does the petroglyph say, you can tell us about it too? Don't be the only one who understands! Tanzi was also a little anxious, "My academic performance was not very good when I was in elementary school, so don't rely on my ability to read pictures and speak at this time!" ”
Xu Yunshu then pulled us to start explaining from the rock paintings at the front.
"It's an island, you can always see the water, right?" Xu Yunshu pointed to the petroglyphs and said, "Do you see the human form on the island?" This means that in the earliest days, the Loulan people lived on overseas desert islands. She slowly walked along the petroglyphs, and said as she went: "Later, someone brought them back to the Central Plains from the sea, do you see that the people on this ship are the same as those painted on the desert island?" ”
Ji Shanchuan got close to the comparison for a long time and said: "It's really the same, the people on the island are all wearing hair, while the rest of the people have their hair combed. And who do you say brought them back? ”
Xu Fu!
