Volume 2 Xuanwu Mystery Burial Chapter 94 The Wolf King Temple (II)

Last time, Shen Yifan, Professor Wang and others entered a palace of the Xia Dynasty from an underwater tunnel, and encountered a creature like a meat rat in the water, which bit the big man Li Meng half to death, and his only hope for survival was for everyone to leave here as soon as possible and help Li Meng heal. But the palace in front of everyone was a little confused.

The palace in front of me is a simple rectangle, with many pillars, which at first glance are made of trees from petrified forests, and most of the palace materials are wooden, but all of them are dark fragrant wood, which may have been specially treated so that no vines like a broken house grow on the wood.

There is a torch on the pillar, there is a kind of ointment in it, Shen Yifan lit the torch and a flame was immediately vacated, and the surroundings were illuminated, everyone followed Shen Yifan's method to light the torches on the pillar one by one, the ointment in the torch may be an animal ointment, the illumination is very good, and the whole picture of the hall is also in full view after lighting more than a dozen torches.

In front of the palace, you can clearly see a wolf-faced statue sitting on a chair, on both sides are wolf-faced statues, there are twenty of them, all holding the same staff on the mural in their hands, the middle statue is much larger than the two sides, and there is a thing in front that looks like a bed and not a bed, but Shen Yifan can be sure that it is definitely not a coffin.

In front of each statue there is an offering table, which is filled with stones of different shapes, which looks a little strange. Liu Yao took out a stone and looked at it and said, "This is amethyst stone, and this one is worth at least 100,000 yuan until now." ”

Shen Yifan pulled Liu Yao over and said, "Stay away from this table." ”

Liu Yao asked a little strangely, "Why?" ”

Shen Yifan said: "You are taking a closer look at what the offering table and chair are made of. ”

Liu Yao took a closer look and was frightened, it turned out that those offering tables and chairs behind them were actually made of people, and those stiff ancients made tables and chairs with an incredible posture, the tables were all on their backs, and the chairs were facing forward, and their hands were like two armrests.

Professor Wang said: "This is a special kind of furniture called human tools in the slave era. At that time, some nobles poisoned their slaves with poison, poured them with drugs that made the corpses stiff, and then made various furniture, most commonly chairs and tables. ”

Everyone looked at the chairs and tables made of corpses, and their hearts panicked, thinking about whether the wolf-faced human statue sitting in the middle would also be such a corpse, Lin Yu retched a little.

Shen Yifan said: "Don't think too much. At that time, slavery was the exploitation of the poor. We continued to walk forward and see if there was a way out. ”

When everyone walked to the steps in the center, they found that in front of the statue of the wolf-faced human body was a stone bed, and on the stone bed lay a white-haired wolf with a snow-white body without a trace of miscellaneous hair. Everyone was startled at first, but then took a closer look at it, and it was actually a wolf skin, which was spread flat on the stone bed.

Shen Yifan said: "Look at this wolf skin, this wolf must be not small. ”

Liu Yao said: "I once heard the legend of wolf slaves in Tibet. I didn't expect to see this huge wolf slave fur here. ”

Shen Yifan said: "The story of the white-haired wolf king has been passed down for a long time, and it is possible that there was indeed a white-haired wolf king here, but this wolf skin has been here for at least a thousand years, right?" Could this white-haired wolf king be the wolf king thousands of years ago? ”

Professor Wang said: "In ancient times, especially in prehistoric civilization, many tribes liked to use animals as their own tribe totems, so I think the image of our Huaxia dragon is the sum of many tribal animal totems. Probably the tribe that built this tomb worshipped wolves. ”

At this time, Lin Yu shouted: "Professor, you look at the statue, there seems to be an inscription on the legal system. ”

Professor Wang looked at it and was amazed again and again: "The inscription on this scepter is very standard Xia Dynasty script, as if it is about the content of the law at that time. ”

Shen Yifan said: "This is very similar to ancient Egypt, where the pharaohs would engrave their laws on their scepters. ”

Professor Wang said, "Not bad! But you have to know that the Xia Dynasty of Chinese civilization predates the first Egyptian pharaoh by about a thousand years. And the pharaoh with the law engraved on the scepter that I know seems to be the famous Tutankhamun, and I can think that this method was introduced to ancient Egypt by our China. ”

Shen Yifan said with a smile: "There is another possibility, that is, we Chinese people migrated there and established Egypt." ”

In fact, there is indeed such a statement in the archaeological community, that ancient Egypt was actually migrated by the Chinese, with strong technology and military power, unified Egypt and established the first dynasty.

Getting back to the point, Shen Yifan and the others looked at the staff in the statue's hand,

Professor Wang was looking at the text of the staff hard, and said as he read it: "This is the Xia Dynasty text of the Eight Classics, and the records on it are the laws of the Xia Dynasty at that time. ”

Shen Yifan wasn't really interested in what was on this staff at all, his main task now was to help them get out, and then leave this troubled place as soon as possible. But Professor Wang seemed to have forgotten that the big man was still seriously injured, and he was still looking at the words on the scepter with relish, explaining the content of the words while reading, which made Shen Yifan a little crying and laughing.

Shen Yifan saw that Professor Wang had no intention of leaving, and was about to forcibly take him away, and when he was about to do it, Professor Wang was very surprised and said: "The last law of this staff is very strange, it seems to say that you can't privately react to the ancient books here, if you violate this law, you will be punished by cannon burning." Because some of the content is on one side of the staff, when Professor Wang turned the staff, he heard the two pillars next to the wolf-faced statue slowly spinning apart, everyone was stunned when they saw this situation, their eyes were staring at the two pillars, and after a while, a bronze tripod slowly rose in front of the stone bed covered with white wolf skin.

This bronze tripod is one and a half high, four or five people side by side are not as wide as this bronze tripod, it is a four-legged and double-eared copper tripod, this is very similar to the style of the Xia Dynasty, it should be something of the Xia Dynasty, the bronze tripod is full of inscriptions, it looks like a kind of text, but it is a little different from the text on the staff.

At this time, Professor Wang saw which bronze tripod was even more immobile, and with the old light eyes through the light on the torch, he was very excited, and kept muttering: "It's worth it!" It's worth it this time! ”

Shen Yifan said on the side: "Professor Wang." Let's go find the exit! ”

Professor Wang took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Shen! Give me more time, this bronze tripod is a huge discovery in our country's archaeological community, and this tripod may change our understanding of the first dynasty established by the Huaxia Dynasty. ”

Shen Yifan also knew that if he wanted Professor Wang to leave here now, unless he was knocked unconscious and dragged away, there was no other way, it was better to stalemate with him like this, it was better to go to the neighborhood to find out if there was an exit.

In order to let everyone see more clearly, Shen Yifan lit all the torches in the hall, the hall is exceptionally bright, at this time, the corners of this hall can be seen clearly, there is a row of murals behind the statues of wolf-faced people on both sides, although the text is incomprehensible, but the content of the mural can be guessed what is the content?

Shen Yifan held the torch and looked all the way, the lines of the murals were very simple, they looked like abstract paintings, and the content of these murals seemed to be talking about a person's life deeds. However, these murals have words from the Xia Dynasty next to them, a bit like the villain books we read when we were children.

After reading the words on the staff, Professor Wang said excitedly: "What a discovery! What a discovery! What is here is a landmark discovery for the cracking of the Xia Dynasty civilization. ”

When Lin Yu and Wang Yunfei heard their teacher say this, they all came to ask what they found? Professor Wang recounted what he had seen on the staff. This is not only a temple, but also a place where prisoners are judged, a bit like our current court.

Professor Wang said excitedly: "The monster we see now with a wolf-faced human body is actually a local tribe here that regards the Holy Spirit as a messenger of justice, so each messenger corresponds to a law, and the one sitting in the middle is the boss of these messengers of justice." And each messenger corresponds to a kind of law in his hands, and in the middle is the law that corresponds to the most cruel. ”

Lin Yu looked at the wolf-faced statues and the staff in their hands around them, and said in surprise, "This is the most detailed law in history. ”

Professor Wang said, "Yes, that's why I said it was a major discovery. ”

Shen Yifan asked again, "Professor." So what does this mural say? ”

Professor Wang looked at a few murals by the firelight, and suddenly realized that he said to himself: "No wonder. ”

Shen Yifan asked, "What's the wonder?" ”

Professor Wang said: "The tomb group of Heiniu Mountain only came later, probably in the late Xia Dynasty. This temple was originally built by the river to commemorate a white-haired wolf king called the Changtian tribe here...... "Professor Wang spent more than an hour talking about all the contents of the mural.

In the early years of the Xia Dynasty, Jiangnan was still a wild land, and the local tribes fought for many years to make the people miserable, and the largest tribe at that time was the Changtian tribe, which put forward a proposal to stop the war and gather all the tribes together to discuss the solution, and after a long time of discussion, the twenty-first code was formulated. These twenty-one codes correspond exactly to twenty-one tribes, each of the ministries

Luo Du recognized the twenty-one code, but then the problem arose, because the twenty-one tribes need someone to coordinate, and this coordinated person will become the alliance leader of the twenty-one tribes, so how to choose this alliance leader? At that time, it was suggested that the bravest warriors of the tribe should be selected for the duel, but the Changtian tribe felt that this war made no difference, and proposed to use wolves to duel.

At that time, the locals were good at curling wolves, so it was best to use it for duels, and a white-haired wolf king of the Changtian tribe defeated the wolf kings of all tribes and helped his master become the leader of the twenty-one tribes here. After a few years, a tribe with the eagle as a totem appeared in the annex, and its power continued to expand and become more and more powerful. Many tribes were exterminated by this tribe, although the twenty-one tribes were alliance, but the distance between them and the new tribe was still very far, and the alliance leader thought of the Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains, so he asked people to go to the Central Plains to find the assistance of the Xia Dynasty, and the patriarch of the Changtian clan took his white-haired wolf king to assassinate the leader of the rival tribe at that time.

The assassination operation ended in failure, the white-haired wolf king and the tribal patriarch of the Changtian clan were killed, and the new mysterious tribe finally wanted the twenty-one tribes to launch a murderous war, and the twenty-one tribes were not to be outdone, and launched a final decisive battle with the mysterious tribe near the current Black Bull Mountain, and finally the twenty-one tribes were wiped out.

The temple was built by rival mystical tribes to commemorate the bravery of the twenty-one tribes, and finally the mystical tribe left here for the north after spending about fifty years here.

Professor Wang said: "The whole mural is over here, but I have a question that I can't answer, no one here has mentioned that the temple is underground, and the concept is that the temple we see now is not an underground building, and it is very likely that it will become an underground building later." ”

Shen Yifan had actually noticed this matter, why did they have to worry about whether the temple was built above ground or underground, because it was related to the concept of civilization understanding, if it was such a large project built on the ground, it would still have scientific energy in the Xia Dynasty, but if it was underground, a building of this scale could not be explained.

However, many ancient buildings that have been around for thousands of years have been submerged in the ground after geological changes, and some buildings that have been underground have been arched out of the ground.

Shen Yifan said: "I guess the original location of this temple should be by the water source. The early temples were staffed and were close to water sources for easy habitation. With geological changes and thousands of years of subsidence and rise, the temple was sunk underground. But there is one thing that we may not have taken into account, and that is the Zheng family in Guwu Town. ”

Hearing this, Professor Wang nodded and said, "That makes sense." The time span between the Zheng family's migration to the Yin Shang period of Guwu City and the early Xia Dynasty is not very far, the problem is that the records of the temple are only to the early Xia Dynasty, so how to prove these tomb groups? ”

Shen Yifan said: "This depends on the records in the ancient tomb of the character type. But I don't think there's a chance that I won't go back, but there is one thing, the three tomb owners in the zigzag tomb may have been keeping some secrets and put their tombs here, and the tombs on them should belong to their descendants. If that's the case...... It is very likely that the Zheng family did not migrate here by accident. ”

Just when Shen Yifan and Professor Wang were chatting and chatting, they heard Liu Yao calling Shen Yifan not far away, Shen Yifan heard the sound and left, and saw that he had found a passage.

Shen Yifan glanced at the passage and said, "Let's hurry up and find the exit." There can be danger here. ”

The so-called passage is actually less than half a meter high, and the width is only half a meter, it is not a passage for people to walk through at all, Shen Yifan leaned in and took a look, and there was a cold wind blowing inside, indicating that this passage is through, and it should be connected to a larger space.

Everyone was still wondering what Shen Yifan said, when they heard a roar in the passage, and then a fishy wind came out of the passage, and then the roar in the passage became louder and louder, and it felt that a behemoth was going to come out of the passage soon. But what kind of behemoth can be in a passage that is no more than half a meter high and half a meter wide?

Shen Yifan had always had a very bad feeling, and hurriedly called Professor Wang to ask everyone to find an exit to leave this palace, and when Liu Yao and Lin Yu found that there was a mural behind the mural in the middle, they saw a corpse wrapped tightly in linen rolled out of which passage, which was exactly the same as the corpse in the cave where the bronze coffin was suspended in the ancient tomb of Pinzig.

When everyone saw the corpse, it was as if they saw a cannonball falling among them, and they all looked at the corpse intently, waiting for it to change.

Liu Yao gently patted Shen Yifan at this time, signaling that they had discovered something, and let Shen Yifan go to see it first, and he might find a way to leave the temple.

Will Shen Yifan and the others leave the Wolf King Temple safe and sound? How many secrets are there in this temple waiting for Shen Yifan and others to crack? Does this have anything to do with the Jinling Heavenly King Burial?
