Chapter 0586 - The Three Protagonists (Part I)
Seriously, it is very, very difficult to decipher the text of a people like the Xiangxiong who were wiped out in the eighth century AD.
Although their script is not completely lost, at least the roots are hidden in Tibetan, after more than ten centuries of improvement, it is now extremely difficult to compare.
And, most importantly, I can't play Tibetan myself!!
That's a bit of nonsense.
I was able to deduce the words on the first bone inscription, all of which relied on a little bit of Tibetan I had learned since I entered Tibet to guess the root of the characters, and it took a lot of effort, but the information I obtained was very leisurely, and it was basically impossible to decipher it completely.
I need a helper!
So I asked these teammates of mine, who is the Tibetan speaker?
As a result, these teammates want to talk about being able to fight and be unparalleled in the world, but when it comes to these humanities precipitation and historical academics, their eyes are bigger than the scalpers in Lao Wang's house next door, and the expressions on their faces are called "cute and cute", which makes me lose my temper.
However, it can be regarded as a mountain and a heavy water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!
To my surprise, my teammates couldn't be relied on, and a Hathaway appeared!
Hathaway, this girl turned out to be a Tibetan speaker, speaking Tibetan is more slippery than speaking Chinese, she told me that she and her teammates have long been yearning for Tibetan Buddhism, studying the language and culture here for many years, this time into Tibet is indeed to pursue Tibetan Buddhism, as a result of hearing the legend of the Nalengle Gorge, there are good deeds who are impatient and curious, and suddenly pulled everyone into this fire pit.
I wasn't in the mood to ask more about their, but since Hathaway knew Tibetan well, the problem would be solved, so I brought her over and worked with me to decipher the bone book.
It's simple.
Every time I pointed out a Zhangzhung script, Hathaway would find a Tibetan character that most closely resembled the Zhangzhung script and tell me what it meant.
In this way, I can basically guess the meaning of this Zhangzhung character very quickly!
The principle is actually very simple, the Tibetan language originated from the Zhangzhung script, to put it bluntly, it is an improved version of the Zhangzhung script, and the roots of the two are the same, because it is impossible to change the roots of the words when improving a language.
The root of the word is the most basic thing to form a text!
It's the equivalent of a human skeleton!
The root remains the same, and no matter how you change it, the two still look very similar because the skeleton remains the same.
This is the purpose of I asked Hathaway to find a similar Tibetan character, generally as long as you find a Tibetan character that is more similar to a Zhangxiong character, then nine times out of ten, this Tibetan character is improved through this Zhangxiong character, and there is a "kinship" between the two, and the meaning is basically the same!!
For example, everyone knows that Japanese is adapted from Chinese, so if someone who has studied Japanese has carefully compared two languages, they will find that there are always some words with the same meaning in the two languages, and some are exactly the same, just because the roots of the two words are the same!
Hathaway did not disappoint me, this woman is very smart, I estimate that the IQ must be above one hundred and fourteen, memory and insight are very strong, whenever I point out a Xiangxiong character, she can always find the Tibetan character that is most similar to this Xiangxiong character, although it is not 100% accurate, but it is connected through some bold guessing proofreading, basically can be connected and read smoothly, and the meaning can be roughly understood.
In this way, the two of us spent more than 40 hours in this place before we finally deciphered this bone book, at that time the two of us were almost paralyzed, I only felt that my brain hurt, this is obviously an excessive rhythm of the brain, but with the harvest, it will not be in vain.
What is this bone book talking about?
This is actually a long story with a dragon as the main line and spanning endless years.
This story probably began 18,000 years ago.
There are three main characters in the story.
Let's talk about the first protagonist first, this one's name is "Dongba Xingrao Miwo", people like to call him "Xinrao Shizun", and they also like to call him "Dongba Patriarch".
That's right, the first protagonist recorded in this bone book is the most important person in the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom, and one of the ancestors of the humanities of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
At the front of the bone book, it tells the story of the Dongba patriarch and his dragoon.
That's right, it's indeed a dragoon.
A dragon mount!
18,000 years ago, a horned dragon appeared at the location of the Kunlun Mountain Pass, broke through the cocoon into a butterfly in the thunder light, and wanted to turn into a dragon!
At that time, the Dongba patriarch happened to pass through the Kunlun Mountain Pass and met the horned dragon in this tribulation!
According to the description in the bone book, when this horned dragon was in response to the catastrophe, the blood was all over the sky, the nine heavens were furious, and the thunder light illuminated most of the Kunlun Mountain, which was very terrifying!
Dongba Patriarch took a look at this situation, what the hell can he pay it back?
Ya is going against the rhythm of the sky!
When a spiritual animal becomes enlightened against the heavens, if it has a record of killing, the heavenly tribulation will have a vision!
When this horned dragon crossed the catastrophe, the blood light was all over the sky, brighter than the morning glow, and the whole sky was blood-red, this was clearly an evil dragon, and I don't know how many creatures were killed, otherwise where could there be such a weather?
Dongba Patriarch is a compassionate person, he pondered, and thought that if he let such an evil dragon run out, then the world would not suffer?
What to do?
Education! Brainwashing! Let you feel the brilliance of God!!
This is also the "three-plate axe" used by all religions in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, no matter what you are, as long as your existence is contrary to my teachings, you will immediately go down with the "three-plate axe", and I have to give you a clear understanding!!
Therefore, the Dongba patriarch decided to surrender this evil dragon, take it as the protector of his side, let it follow him day and night, be exposed to it, bathe in the glory of the Buddha, change his past mistakes, and be a good dragon......
How exactly the Dongba patriarch subdued this evil dragon is not recorded in this bone book.
But according to my guess, eighty percent is not a glorious means!
According to the information provided in the bone book, the horned dragon obviously succeeded in the tribulation in the end and became Ying Long, which is at the level of defying the sky, and to surrender, you really need some means!
But!!!
When the Dongba Patriarch touched it, it had just successfully crossed the tribulation, and at this time, Ying Long, because he had just survived the catastrophe, would have a long period of weakness, and his Taoism would be greatly reduced, and it was even far less powerful than before it successfully crossed the tribulation!!
I guess that the Dongba Patriarch just took advantage of the weakness of the Ying Dragon to do it to others......
Anyway, the last Ying Long was under the seat of the Dongba Patriarch, and it took decades to follow.
This Ying Dragon is also smart, in fact, all animals that have become enlightened against the heavens are very smart, and their intelligence is not lower than that of humans at all, or even higher than that of humans!!
This Yinglong is a "understand dragon", subject to the Dongba patriarch, it knows that it is dangerous, as long as the Dongba patriarch is not happy, it can be killed, so it is a dragon with its tail between it, and has been pretending to be a "good baby", the Dongba patriarch has been fooled, how to look at it feels pleasing to the eye, thinking that its training is successful. When the Dongba patriarch passed away, after hesitating again and again, he still decided to leave this Ying Long, after all, God has the virtue of a good life, and this Ying Long has indeed changed his past mistakes, and even before closing his eyes, the prohibitions and shackles he put on this Ying Long have been lifted, and he let go of this "big tail wolf"!
As soon as the Dongba patriarch died, this Ying Long ...... Free!
At the beginning, this Ying Long killed at most, and at most ate some animals in Kunlun Mountain.
It is estimated that it really made the Dongba patriarch afraid of a sneak attack, so for tens of thousands of years after he got out of trouble, he has been dormant in Kunlun Mountain, and he never dared to go out to do evil.
Until...... 2,000 years ago, that is, during the Western Han Dynasty in our Middle-earth world, some herdsmen entered the Kunlun Mountains and inadvertently disturbed the sleeping Ying Long, who was furious and ate these herdsmen.
At this moment, it can be regarded as awakening the ferocity of this Ying Dragon!
This guy was not a good stubble in the first place, and he was ruined before turning into a dragon, but he was later killed by the Dongba patriarch, and there was a psychological shadow, which stopped. Now that he eats people, it can be regarded as a complete return of wildness.
No tricks, people are delicious!!
So this Ying dragon began to make waves, rushed out of the Kunlun Mountains, attacked the pastoral area, and devoured the herdsmen......
It's a pity that this Ying Long's fate is not good, he has been silent for 10,000 years, and just after his debut, he met another nemesis, that is, the second protagonist in the bone book - a Dharma King!
The Dharma King heard that there was a demon dragon at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, so he shot to kill the demon dragon, and finally imprisoned the demon dragon in the Lock Dragon Cave!!
The story of this second protagonist, how I heard it and how it sounded familiar!
Later, when I thought about it, I vaguely realized that I had heard the story of this Dharma King long before he entered Tibet!
Before we entered Tibet, the intelligence officers of the Heavenly Dao League had been widely active in the Kunlun Mountain area, and collected a lot of information for us, including a legend of "King Fulong", which was obtained by intelligence officers from the mouths of local herdsmen, and the content was basically the same as that recorded in the bone book, but there were also differences - the story of "King Fulong" in the herdsmen's legend, and finally the King captured Ying Long alive and threw it into the Lock Dragon Cave; And the story of "King Fu Long" in the bone book, the final result is that the King killed Ying Long and was locked in the Dragon Lock Cave, which was a dragon corpse!
However, what interests me the most is this Dharma King!!
There is a story about this Dharma King, which is recorded on the third bone plate of the Bone Book!
And the third bone book is with pictures!!
On this piece of bone book, the figure of this Dharma King is profoundly engraved!
He was not dressed as a monk in Tibet, but in a Taoist robe!!
Moreover, there is only one back!!
But...... This back, how do I look at it, how do I feel familiar, and finally, finally, it is finally determined - in the story of the Dharma King Fulong, the Dharma King who killed Ying Long is the Sanqing Daoist!!
