Chapter 169: The Life of Lu Xiang, the Shock of a Historian (Second Update)
When the two of them landed in front of the stele forest, they saw several archaeological researchers studying something in front of the stele forest.
"Elder Wang." Several people saw the arrival of the two and also greeted them.
One of the balding middle-aged men excitedly said, "This is it, this is it." ”
As he spoke, he excitedly pulled Wang Lao to a stone tablet, pointed to the brightly colored murals on it, and said in a trembling voice: "Wang Lao, look here, what is depicted on this picture is not like the history of the Kwantung Alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo and gathering in the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”
Wang Lao didn't care about his rudeness and looked at the mural.
The stele is very high, about three meters high, two meters wide, and one meter thick.
On the front of the stele, a majestic tower is depicted, and two small characters can be seen above the city gate. Below the tower, there was a dense army, and it was barely possible to see the words Yuan, Sun and other words on the banner.
"This picture should be Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan, it is estimated that it is Yuan Shao and others. The content recorded on this mural is very likely to be the event when the princes asked Dong Bing to enter the Tiger Prison. ”
Wang Lao groaned and continued: "It was recorded in the annals of history that the princes allied forces wanted to break the tiger prison, so the soldiers gathered outside the tiger prison. It's just that this war, which is related to the direction of Chinese history, ended in a very dramatic turn. Legend has it that the Yellow River was suddenly diverted in those days, so much so that the allied forces of the princes were flooded, causing them heavy losses. ”
"Yes, this incident is really strange, and even the history books of later dynasties and dynasties have different descriptions of this matter.
Because if the Yellow River had been diverted, there should have been no warning.
And the strangest thing is that the Hugao Pass is quite high, even if the Yellow River is suddenly diverted and flooded, it is impossible to drown the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes. It is impossible for all the Kwantung princes to stupidly station their soldiers by the Yellow River, waiting to be flooded by the Yellow River. ”
"Yes, this matter is really a bit evil, although later generations have mentioned the flood of Tiger Prison, but the flood is not serious. Even the local county chronicle only mentioned the incident in passing, only saying that there was indeed a flood during that time, but the impact was not great. ”
Elder Wang didn't answer, and looked along the stele to other places.
Soon Wang Lao found another stone tablet related to it nearby, and the frescoes on it were quite similar to the scenes depicted earlier. Only this time, it was not daylight, but a starry night sky.
And on the tiger prison, a figure appeared.
However, due to the passage of time, the color of the mural is mottled in some places, so the depiction of this figure is slightly blurred. However, even if the figure is still clear, it has no reference significance for Wang Lao.
Because ancient Chinese painting techniques do not pay attention to the restoration of the appearance of the figures, but more just the so-called godlikeness.
In short, the name is right, and as for who is actually painting, it is all up to the artists to play freely.
Although Wang Lao didn't know who the person in the Tiger Prison was, his intuition told him that it was the mysterious Lu Xiang!
"This person, is this the Lu Xiang that Cao Cao said?"
"It should be, if these murals record the life of Lu Xiang, then it must be that Lu Xiang will not be wrong. However, it is a little strange, why only the characters of Lu Xiang are depicted on the Tiger Prison Pass, but not the other generals of that year? ”
The other archaeologists looked at the mural in front of them, whispering in a whisper, full of doubt. Soon, though, they got the answer on the next corresponding mural.
But on the mural, Lu Xiang stood proudly at the head of the city, pointing to the majestic Yellow River with one hand. The water of the Yellow River crossed the mountains, flooded the mountains and forests, and appeared on the side of the Tiger Pass.
And below the Tiger Prison Pass, it is the alliance of princes!
Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything for a long time.
They suddenly understood why there were no generals in the tiger prison, and only Lu Xiang was depicted. Because if you want to solve the Kwantung coalition army, you don't need a second person at all!
"This, it's a little too much..."
"Hey, it seems that we are going to be happy in vain, although the records on these murals may be related to what happened in history, but I am afraid that they were deliberately mythologized by the painters."
"This is not true, although we can't learn the specific historical facts of that year from the murals, but at least we can be sure that there really is a person like Lu Xiang. And he participated in many major events in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and may even lead the transformation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. ”
"This is also true, Cao Cao is the Taizu of Wei State, since he ordered people to leave these, it should not be without reason."
Everyone was talking, and suddenly a whisper from behind them questioned: "Why must the things recorded above be mythologized, before we came here, who dared to imagine that such a great relic could be left more than 2,000 years ago."
Even now, can we really be sure that we understood the history of our ancestors?
This incredible ancient tomb can exist, and it seems that it is not impossible that someone in ancient times was able to prevent the Yellow River from flooding. ”
Quiet!
For a while, everyone was stunned.
They looked at each other, but no one spoke.
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Many people have only now suddenly realized that the tomb itself is very unscientific, no, it should be said that science cannot explain it at all. Since even the ancient tomb left by Cao Cao can't be explained, why can't the records on the murals be believed?
Everyone was in a complicated mood, and some people sighed: "We are still too cautious, no, we should be too careful." Xiao Lin is right, since this tomb can exist, how can we conclude that Lu Xiang is not a legendary god and does not have the ability to control the Yellow River? ”
"Yes, the tomb itself is so full of wonder that we can't even understand it. If we still look at the things recorded here with the same old thinking, we are afraid that it will make people laugh in the end. ”
In the end, people are scholars who study history, not politicians, let alone businessmen.
After they came to their senses, they all admitted their previous mistakes, and then adjusted their mentality and continued to watch.
It's just that with the continuous interpretation and restoration of the murals, they find that their three views are being refreshed again and again, and their perception of history is constantly changing!
It turns out that Lu Xiang not only exists, but is even an important figure who led Dong Zhuo's change, not Situ Wang Yun recorded in history!
It turned out that Lu Bu was not a slave with three surnames as recorded in history, but had a deep connection with Lu Xiang, and even had an indelible contribution to the incident against Dong Zhuo.
It turned out that at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a sage who was born, and the stars shifted, and the five qi was three thousand miles!
"Ahh
Everyone was obsessed with the records on the mural, and suddenly someone let out a loud scream, breaking the silence of the stele forest and startling everyone.
"No, this, how is this possible!"
But I saw a bald historian slumped in front of a mural, as if he had seen an incredible sight.
