Gu Fengchun ignored the ownership of this hidden city for the time being. These fabulous contents have been deeply troubled by Gu Fengchun. Is any of this true? Gu Fengchun had countless legends about King Zhou Mu in his mind. For example, Kunlun Mountain and the Queen Mother of the West, in "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is said that King Mu of Zhou took the magic car made by the father, drove the princes and kings to pay tribute to eight horses, traveled west to Kunlun Mountain, met the Queen Mother of the West, and the two sang and sang in the Qinse of Yaochi, and it seems that there was a love story, and later the Queen Mother of the West also visited King Mu of Zhou once. As for the Yanshi, his identity is even more peculiar. According to records, he was a skilled craftsman, and he once dedicated a puppet to King Zhou Mu, which not only looked very similar to people, but also acted like ordinary people, and even threw flattery to King Zhou Mu's concubine, which made King Zhou Mu angry. The ability of this puppet is far from being able to reach that level even with today's intelligent robot technology. Because of this, historians usually treat these stories as myths and legends.

Gu Fengchun sighed deeply, and thought in his heart: Could it be that someone here is so poor and bored that they engrave a myth here? But this one is actually very easy to identify, and the era in which this story takes place is easy to distinguish. Gu Fengchun is conceited of his own ability to quickly understand the era of the words on the stone wall. So he took a deep breath and reached for the stone wall. But when he was just a few centimeters away from the words on the stone wall, he stopped his movements and thought: What if all this is true? Gu Fengchun knew that if these legends were true, then a lot of history would be rewritten. It is not only his view of history that has been subverted. After thinking about it, Gu Fengchun still touched his hand to the stone wall, along the way, his view of history has been subverted countless times, who cares about this time?

In fact, Gu Fengchun has already obtained a very positive answer from those clumsy but sparse calligraphy and peeling stone wall traces. Since he was a child, he has been unable to calculate the antique relics he has come into contact with, and his eyesight has reached the realm of foolproofness.

It's real. After Gu Fengchun touched the ancient carvings on the cold stone wall, the last doubt in his heart was gone. That familiar and peculiar feeling clearly told him that this was from an ancient era, and this time was not much different from the era in which the legendary Mu Tianzi lived. What is this concept? Gu Fengchun felt like a thunderclap sounded in his head, and he was stunned there, motionless. If these records are true, then this King Mu of Zhou really once drove a carriage that traveled thousands of miles a day (how to get it?). ), patrolled the Quartet, and met with the Queen Mother of the West in the so-called Yao Chi of Kunlun Mountain, and also got the elixir of immortality (uh?!). ）； The mysterious Yanshi offered a puppet as advanced as a robot in a science fiction movie (how can you do it?). And it's true...... Gu Fengchun knew that if these contents appeared in his historical papers, then he would be accused of being a madman at a formal seminar, or he would be called a backward young man who sold his reputation, whimsily, and made a name for himself with absurd behavior, and maybe his hard-earned degree would not be recognized again (although he didn't care much), but Gu Fengchun knew how important the content on this stone wall was.

Think about the Gaxian Cave in the Great Xing'an Mountains, the ancestor worship inscription of the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was discovered, and the birthplace of the Xianbei people was confirmed, which subverted the conclusions of those scholars for many years; If the record on this stone wall is circulated, how much of a sensation will it cause and how many traditional theories will be subverted? Not to mention anything else, take Kunlun and the Queen Mother of the West as an example, many scholars are still unable to determine whether the Kunlun Mountain at that time was the Kunlun as it is called today, and the Queen Mother of the West is even more impossible to say, scholars directly think that it does not exist at all, and it is made up by later generations. However, the inscriptions on this stone wall can confirm that these legends are probably not pure legends, and there must be some amazing secrets hidden behind them.

The excited Gu Fengchun quickly calmed down.

Because, there is a tricky problem waiting for him. Gu Fengchun, who is already a first-class paleographer, is confused by the fact that there are almost 400 characters on the stone wall. Because, those are not Jin Wen. There are about 900 characters in the entire inscription, and Gu Fengchun exclaimed at the beginning: this is probably the longest of the golden text records that have been discovered. It wasn't until he saw that Jin Wenli described Yanshi's construction of the hidden city that no character Gu Fengchun could understand. It seems that behind this, this mysterious Yanshi is hiding his ultimate purpose, what is the real purpose of building this mysterious hidden city? It seems impossible to say that it takes so much manpower and material resources to do such a thing.

Although the ancients were very superstitious, but they would never be so laborious in the western Sichuan region at that time, and they knew that Wang Ji of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi, you can compare the map), at that time, there was no plane, there was no high-speed, and there was no high-speed, and even a broken road could not be found. To build such a large project, it is obviously not enough to rely on the little guards accompanied by King Zhou Mu, even if the local people are requisitioned, the wild land does not seem to be enough to gather so many laborers. However, the most indicative contradiction is that the stone forest outside can be traced back to a much older age than the record of this inscription, and Gu Fengchun learned such a conclusion by his own induction. So from this point it can be concluded that this place was not built in the time of King Mu of Zhou, at least a large part of it was not, and the most likely thing is that Yanshi discovered this mysterious underground cave, and then used the original terrain to expand it. The first to build this hidden city must have been the servants or the people of the Zhou people who were earlier than the Zhou people. Maybe that's what these strange characters are talking about.

Gu Fengchun looked at the words he didn't know with a frown.

These mysterious characters are not special, but it seems that he is almost the same as the structure of the golden inscriptions, not a real connoisseur, who will only decipher them as golden inscriptions, but Gu Fengchun believes that this is exactly what the person who engraved these inscriptions thinks the most, because in this way, the deciphered result must be far from the truth, or even marginal. In this way, the secret will be kept for a long time. After carefully identifying the characters on the stone wall, he made a bold guess that the characters he could not understand were similar to the later Chinese characters and Tangut characters, imitation scripts. It's just that Gu Fengchun looked very entangled.

Because Gu Fengchun felt that the imitation of the subject-object relationship was inappropriate, he relied on his preconceived feelings to think that the mysterious characters were imitated by Jin Wen. Historically, the Tangut people imitated Chinese characters, although they succeeded in creating their own script, but there were too many traces of axes and chisels, simplifying them into complexity, and this kind of writing obviously did not meet the requirements of the development of the times, and it did not take long to be eliminated (after the fall of the Tangut, it was basically not used). Later, Koreans also imitated Chinese characters to create Hangeul, but the Hangul system is similar to pinyin and has ambiguities, so many Hangul must use the meaning of Chinese characters to be able to express it accurately; Not to mention the Japanese language, which is mixed with a kink of kanji. Having said so much nonsense, it is just to illustrate that the imitation script should borrow some of the characteristics of the original script, and although it will have new features, it will not be more expressive than the original script (at least in the Chinese system). The problem that Gu Fengchun found exists here. Because those characters that he couldn't understand seemed more mature and well-structured than the golden text he could decipher.

If these two fonts did not appear at the same time, Gu Fengchun would have thought that this unfamiliar character would be the result of the evolution of Jin Wen, but if it appeared at the same time, Gu Feng Chun would have no other explanation, in his opinion, the only reasonable way to say is that if there is imitation between the two, Jin Wen is imitating these strange characters.

Gu Fengchun knew that once this idea was put forward in a formal setting, he would be drowned by paleographers with saliva. Because the paleographic community has long recognized that Chinese characters evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, to Jin inscriptions, to 籀文 (big seals), and small seals...... And so it slowly evolved. All of a sudden, Jin Wen became an imitation of this kind of character, so what kind of situation did the merchant's oracle bone behold? Where is the countless efforts of countless word experts? The disputes caused by such embarrassment and impact will make some people want to tear apart the ancient style.

Gu Fengchun was dazed. Soon he woke up from his deep thoughts. These mysterious and regular characters, Gu Fengchun knows himself, and without three and five years of painstaking study, it is estimated that trying to understand its content is basically wishful thinking. He let out a long sigh and asked Zhou Dingxuan, who was more fascinated than him on the side, "Uncle Wrinkle, do you know those characters in the back?" ”
