CHAPTER 40

According to modern research, the main source of the "Kunlun Nu" in Chinese history was the Asian Malay black people from Saigon (Kunlun Island (present-day in the open sea)). According to Indian history, Saigon was the largest slave market in Asia since the third century AD, mainly selling slaves to China, and this slave trade continued until the Ming Dynasty. The pronunciation of the ancients was inaccurate, and they mistakenly pronounced "firewood stick" as "Kunlun", which gave rise to the name of "Kunlun Nu".

Dwarf black Kunlun figurines from the South China Sea

Judging from the costumes, most of the black figurines unearthed later were naked with diagonal silk belts, banners around the waist or wearing shorts. This is very consistent with the image of the Kunlun people recorded in the Tang Dynasty monk Yijing's "Nanhai Returning to the Inner Fa Biography", "Daman" is a Sanskrit word, referring to the underwear worn by the lower body, which is a very obvious feature of the black people in the South China Sea, and has nothing to do with the clothing of ancient African blacks. Ge Chengyong said that many authoritative scholars had previously believed that the black people of the Tang Dynasty came from Africa.

Zheng He's clairvoyance and downwind ears to the Western Ocean, may be familiar with the Kunlun Nu in the South Seas, strangely, there is no record of Zheng He in Vietnamese literature, only containing the Southern Dynasty of Vietnam by the Ming Dynasty' intervention', when the Mekong estuary in the early years of Yongle is an eventful autumn, seven to the West and five over the city, the sea ship can not go up along the Kowloon River (Mekong River), the history of the Ming Dynasty and said to arrive at Chenla, if a large fleet of envoys, it is extremely difficult to land in Chenla, it is possible to dispatch envoys, from Ho Thanh to land into Angkor Thom, Kunlun Nu can also serve as a translator 'tongue man', then the study of the relationship between China and Nanyang, Kunlun Nu is quite important, otherwise the puzzle is still chaotic.

According to this topic, Su Xuelin focuses on the origin and origin of the word Kunlun, where is the "Kunlun" mountain? As well as the research and positioning of Kunlun Mountain by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the academic value of tens of thousands of words is unparalleled, and he himself has left a space for future generations to think in the preface. The conclusion is nothing more than that Kunlun refers to tall mountains, which seems too narrow. In my opinion, Kunlun is simply a compound word, and Qu Yuan's words Kunlun are used the most, because they belong to ancient scripts, and the answer can be found from rhetoric, and if you study the pictographs of the oracle bone inscription, you can find out the specific answer.

He Xiwen Sichuan White Lotus taught people, after the failure of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he was once active in the sea of Fujian and Guangdong, and then organized the Heaven and Earth Society, and his subordinates Huang Zhongtong, Zhang Gongyin, Liang Wenying, Yang Zifu, and Zhou Yuanquan took Kunlun Island as their base camp to help the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam.

Kunlun slave part from the slave market of Kunlun Island, Kunlun Island is today's Kunshan Island in Vietnam, about 120 kilometers away from the mouth of the Mekong River Kunshan Island, is still the prisoner island of Vietnam, not open to the public, composed of large and small Kunlun a total of 14 island groups, with a total area of 7,700 acres, in the early 18th century was occupied by the East India Company. It is recorded that Kunlun slaves were indigenous to Java and were sold to China as slaves and maids in feudal society.

There are also a small number of Kunlun slaves from Africa, who should have come to China with the Arabs.

The origin of the name of Kunlun Nu, the general evidence is from the Kunlun or Kunlun country, the characteristics are the complexion of the black curly hair, etc., which is completely different from the yellow skin and straight hair of the Han people in the Central Plains, but there is no more specific evidence and literature to prove that there was a Kunlun country or Kunlun in ancient times. China was the first to accept the tribute of the four Yi Dynasty from the Qin Dynasty, the Han and Tang dynasties continued, and the Tang Dynasty conquered the most ethnic minorities, only from the written records to grope seems hasty, anyway, there were foreign slaves after the Qin Dynasty. It is only called Kunlun slave in appearance, why not black slave? Look at the picture painted by Tang Yan Liben, follow the Aryan slave with a full face and beard, the body is not tall, although the naked body is close to the Kunlun slave, but it has nothing to do with the word Kunlun, the only peculiar thing is that the top of the skull is in the shape of a double peak, which is similar to the rakshasa in some Buddhist hell pictures and ghost statues, whether it is attached to the work can not be examined, if it is attached to this is the explanation of Kunlun slave, and it is nondescript. It is inevitable that ordinary paintings have exaggerated and emphasized techniques, but they cannot be said to be the characteristics of Kunlun, and if they are interpreted with similar pronunciations imposed on Kunlun, the fallacy is the same, and they all make the same mistakes.

One hundred and forty-seven biography of Tang Nanyi records that Nanban, "from the south of Linyi, all have curly hair and black bodies, and the common name is Kunlun." "There are other ancient countries in the Indochina Peninsula, such as the country of Bori is also a 'fist', the Brahmanical country of Panpan, the country of Zhenla, etc., "since the dragon, Zhenla is divided into two halves, to the south of the coastal sea and many places, called the water Zhenla half, to the north of the mountains and Fu, called the land of Zhenla...... Shuizhenla country, its territory is 800 miles from east to west, north to south, south to Xiaohai, north is Lu Zhenla, the city where the king of the period lives is promoted by Borneo. There are small cities on the eastern border of the country, all of which are called countries.

In addition, the forty-seventh biography of the Sui Book records the ancient kingdom of Linyi, 'whose people have deep eyes, high noses, and black fists. The vulgar are wrapped in cloth in vain. The history of Yue records that Zhenla and the ancient Funan country and Linyi country, the Song Dynasty called Zhanla.

And there are also records in your favorite film and television dramas, such as "In the Words of Daming Palace" There is such a scene.

Princess Taiping and Webster browse the streets, attracted by the hawkers next to them. Eventually, Princess Taiping dragged Webster to a stall selling masks.

Princess Taiping: What kind of mask is this? It's as black as the bottom of a pot, and the nose is so wide......

Stallowner: Childe doesn't know, this is called Kunlun slave mask, the big pirate Wang Shijie has just sold back a batch of Kunlun slaves from the sea, the individual is as strong as a cow, but he has a gentle temperament, practical and hardworking, and as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he was carved up by the aristocratic and wealthy families. Nowadays, being able to bring two Kunlun slave bodyguards on the street is the most fashionable thing for the young masters of the family! Why don't you take advantage of the holiday to buy two masks and catch up with the fashion?

At that time, many people asked Professor Ge about Kunlun Nu after reading this paragraph. It turned out that the Kunlun slaves called by the Tang Dynasty were black slaves. In various historical books and notes of the Tang Dynasty, the word "Kunlun" is even used as an adjective to describe Chinese with dark faces.

Lin Qianxun smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Kunnu, who leaned closer to Lin Qianxun and then spoke.

"The slave was born in Guanshan, and then his parents died for some reason, and the slave has been living a life of hunger and a full meal, and then he went to several masters' houses, and they all disliked us for eating too much and having a dark complexion, so they didn't want it, for fear of losing their face, so they sold the slave.

Lin Qianxun's heart tightened when he heard this, the tip of his heart twitched, and his face was not good-looking.

As if he had resigned himself to his fate, he continued.

"Later, the slave encountered the cold flame, and came to the girl's house, the girl was good to us, eating and hugging, and wearing warm, this is the most comfortable day since the slave was born."

"Actually, Kunnu, if someone like you lives in my hometown, participates in the sports meeting, or acts in a movie, he will definitely become popular." The long-distance runners in modern society are all from Africa, tall and long-legged, and they run like pressing a motor, no one can compare, and there are many foreign movies, and even the ruler of a country is a person like Kunnu.

"Kunnu can't think of those, what is a sports day, what is a movie?" Kunnu smiled shyly.

"You'll know in the future, I see that you are tall and strong, it's a pity not to practice martial arts, do you want to practice martial arts?" Lin Qianxun thought of the martial arts cheats she found in that cave, and it was very suitable to look at Kunnu's appearance.

"I think, it's just that the slave goes to practice martial arts, who will come to see the door." A hint of longing flashed in Kunnu's dark eyes, and he was a little entangled.

"I'm not afraid, I've already thought about this, by the way, you practice with the children and Buck, this Guanshan is unstable after all, and it looks very harmonious on the surface, but no one can ensure that the days will always be like this, people must have the consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, Kunnu, I am optimistic about you, next spring to reclaim the wasteland, you have to do it, by the way, let's see if you can find your fellow townsmen and people here, so that you can fill in a few more people, next year's spring, and you are still busy." Lin Qianxun saw the grocery store where she bought groceries for the first time, and she said as she spoke.

"Really?" Kunnu is actually a lonely person, and when he heard Lin Qianxun speak, he was very excited.

"Really, I would never tell a lie." Lin Qianxun didn't dare to say that everyone was equal, and she didn't want to cause trouble to these people, what you like, the life you yearn for, others can't guess, and this kind of beautiful life pays attention to people, although Qiao Mosheng is a farmer, but his status is low and high, and his requirements can be realized, but Kunnu is different, he has lived at the bottom of life since he was a child, he has suffered from white eyes, and he has pursued to fill his stomach all his life, and the realm of the two is not on the same plane, so some words are just enough, just help him get rid of his slave body.

"That girl, can I go to my hometown in the afternoon?" Kunnu was a little distracted, he was so happy.

"But, it's just Kunnu, I know you have a good heart, but I can't stand some people who have bad hearts, what I need is not some brains and smarts, but loyalty, can you understand my words?" Lin Qianxun said with a smile.

"The slave understands, after accompanying the girl to buy it, she will go to find it, is the woman wanting?" Kunnu spoke a little embarrassed.

"Yes, but there is no place to live, but don't worry, a new house will be built in a few days." Lin Qianxun thought about it, many modern Southeast Asian nannies are doing well, and he is not afraid of anything.

Kunnu smiled shyly.

Lin Qianxun entered the grocery store again, and then before the store owner could speak, she asked with a smile.

"Boss, remember me, is there anything unusual?"

"So it was, it's a girl?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to Lin Qianxun's handwritten paper and trembled, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, it was inconvenient before, but now it's okay, take out the novelty and I'll take a look, is there any canvas I said last time, and there are seeds?" Lin Qianxun said with a smile.

"There's... Yes, I just brought it two days ago, and I was waiting for you to come, but we didn't ask the girl's name at the time, so it was delayed for a few days," the shopkeeper smiled a little shyly, so he became a little nervous.

"Take a look, there will be good things to send to the forest house in the future." Lin Qianxun spoke, and went inside.

The boss smiled, and then the celebrity went to collect the things.

"Hey, boss, you also have outside spices, it's so good, can you show it to me?" Suddenly, she turned her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the freshly unfolded spice packets on the counter, cumin, and some simple incense powder.

She stepped forward without saying a word, grabbed a handful and put it under her nose and sniffed it, not forgetting to twist one, put it in her mouth and stir it.

"Shhh Her facial expression was tangled, her face was about to turn into a bun, she shook her head and shook off goosebumps, and commented with a smile.

Her dark pupils reflected those valuable things, and then her mind moved, her eyes rolled, and she turned her head to the owner of the shop, "These are all for you, and the price is easy to say." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Lin Qianxun was so bold, and for a while Le's teeth came out, he commanded the young man to pack them, and then packed all those things and sent them to Lin Zhai, and when they left the store, the two smiled and agreed to send them if they had a good one.

Kunnu didn't say much, followed Lin Qianxun closely, he was tall, he looked like a moving mountain from a distance, and with his darker skin than others, no one generally dared to talk to him, besides, Lin Qianxun bought Kunnu, and the entire Guanshan people knew about it, so no one dared to come out to find trouble.

She seems to be particularly fond of brightly colored clothes, the peony-colored dress she wears today, a wave of light swings when she walks, and she is too lazy to wear a hat, her whole face is sunscreened, staring at a fair and good-looking face, which attracts the attention of a large number of people.

At this moment, Helian Rui, who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the post station, suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Qianxun, who had a ruddy complexion, and the breath that had just blocked his heart disappeared in an instant, he hurriedly got up, didn't even care about his robe, and flew downstairs.

"Looking for a girl." At the moment when Lin Qianxun had just arrived at the door of the post station, Helian Rui happened to walk to the door, and he hurriedly called.

"Prince Helian?" Lin Qianxun called out with some differences.

"Is it down, looking for a girl, are you going?" Helian Rui is ripe, and his appearance is no worse than the cold chopping wind, this white robe, people are more outstanding, he seems to be particularly fond of flowers, birds, fish and bamboo, today's soft forging brocade robe, embroidered with a magpie looking for food, the magpie is outlined with black embroidery thread, the eyes are inlaid with black gemstones, and there is a jade jue hanging around the waist, it is estimated that the line is faster, and the long black hair has a naughty wisp of teasing his face.

"I'm going to go around casually, I'm going to find some ingredients for the restaurant, and Helian Gongzi is going to go shopping too?" Although Lin Qianxun felt that Helian Ruirui felt very gloomy and purposeful in his bones, his appearance was very outstanding, just like those people in modern times said, sometimes the three views will run with the five senses, but she is purely appreciative, and there will be no vigilance.

"I have this intention in the next, since it is so fateful, I wonder if I can invite the girl to go around?" When Lin Qianxun was looking at Helian Rui, he was not idle, Lin Qianxun had a ruddy face because of a few days of recuperation, compared with what he saw some time ago, some baby fat, it was because of this that Helian Rui felt that Lin Qianxun was more good-looking, and the peony red lining her was brilliant.

"But, even Helian Gongzi is such a busy person, and he accompanied me and a woman to visit a rouge shop, and I was really wronged." Lin Qianxun adheres to the principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent in order to survive a hundred battles, and used to think that as long as he was on guard, he would be fine, but it was better to take the initiative and occupy a dominant position.

I don't mind looking for a girl, there's nothing to be afraid of, and besides, looking for a girl is a fair lady, and it's inevitable to admire her. Helian Rui said with a smile.

Lin Qianxun smiled, then raised his feet and walked forward, not commenting on Helian Rui's sudden praise, this kind of dangerous character, suddenly confessing to you or expressing his liking, and regularly playing some unknown ideas, he better be careful.

Kunnu was a little unhappy when he saw someone approaching Lin Qianxun, and glared fiercely at him, there were people pestering his master everywhere every day.

Helian Rui didn't say anything to the rude Kunnu, and he followed with a smile.

Then there were handsome men and beautiful women on the street, the two talked from time to time, the woman smiled from time to time, and the man thoughtfully blocked the sun for her, and Kunnu behind him had a grudge on his face.

There are many shops everywhere, and there are people running around, and many of the women who come out to hang out are carefully dressed and in good spirits, with anticipation and a hint of shyness in their eyes

Today's weather is very difficult, although there is some sun, but it is not impossible to walk, she walked with great interest, Helian Rui's eyes on the side have been moving with her, when she sees the sweet and sour fruit, she will take out the silver money to buy some and hand it to Lin Qianxun, and Lin Qianxun is a little hesitant, but seeing that people are kind, they will accept it, but they will also say thank you.

After walking for a long time, the three of them found a tea shop and sat down to rest.

"Go do what you have to do, I'll just go home in a moment." Lin Qianxun didn't want Kunnu to stand aside and serve them without eating or drinking, and Chekunu was his own person and didn't want Helian Rui to enjoy his service.

Kunnu hesitated a little, but because he was worried about his fellow villagers, he didn't turn back and left.

Seeing that Lin Qianxun was so indulgent to a subordinate, Helian Rui couldn't help but speak.

"Why don't you bring a maid when you go out?"

"There are maids at home, but the little girl is weak, and it is inconvenient to go out, and the Kunnu people are very deterrent, and I see that Helian Gongzi also has a little attendant, what about the little brother?" Lin Qianxun's answer was ordinary and he couldn't hear any questions, and Helian Rui quickly smiled after a short hesitation.

"I ran everywhere, there was this right-hand man beside me, it was summer again, the temperature was high, he was tired after running for a long time, I asked him to go to the rest meeting."

"It seems that you have a kind heart and are gentle and kind." Lin Qianxun is never stingy in praising people, and although the person opposite is not clear inside, at least the surface is okay, she said with a chin on her chin and a smile.

"Does Miss Xun think that a person is good, just spelling one side of the word or one side of the fate to say that I am a kind heart, don't you think there is something wrong?" Helian Rui was stunned again, and asked with a smile before she was excited and happy.

Lin Qianxun didn't speak immediately, but looked at him fixedly, in fact, Helian Rui's appearance was better than Leng Shufeng, but the first feeling he gave people was not very comfortable, if it was slightly corrected, it would definitely attract more people's attention.
