The streets of Chengdu have always been circulating on Wednesday ghost market, weekend fairy market, ghost market refers to some unsightly things trading market, in Chengdu these things can only be traded on Wednesday, if you are trading on Wednesday, something happened someone covers you, if this time passes, after this point, you just bought a Northern Song Dynasty wolf was caught and no one cared. As for the fairy market, it is the elegant name of the bookseller and the bookworm trade, those people usually dance and make ink and eat enough to go to drum up some ancient books, Chengdu used bookstore represented by Tao Shuzhai has a branch in Xianqiao. In the past few years, booksellers and bookworms around Chengdu rushed here every weekend before dawn, selling books and buying books, and the scene was very lively.

As we all know, Zhao Lei's song Chengdu sang about this slow-paced city that should be suitable for retirement, because Chengdu people's leisure is rich and colorful, and playing collection is one of them. There is a saying among domestic antique collectors: to play collecting, in addition to Beijing and Shanghai, Chengdu is Chengdu. Some people roughly estimate that there are currently about 300,000 collectors in Chengdu. But now Chengdu has poured too many young people into this place, and the rhythm of the city and housing prices have been brought up, and the purchase restriction order a few months ago has completely made those who play collection join the crowd of people who speculate on houses, so the most worthy of Chengdu in recent years is not antiques but real estate. So this is also the reason why the antique market in this area of Xianqiao is lonely.

"I see, you seem to be familiar with this place!"

"It's alright!" Menyue Bin glanced at the place and patted me: "It's here!" ”

The three of us got out of the car and soon came to a house, the house is not big, but it is very elegant, there is a fish pond in the middle, there are four rooms on all sides, the window is open on the sunny side at this time, it is a study room, in which is doing a middle-aged man in his 50s, is looking at an ancient painting on the table.

The old man knocked on the door and ushered us in.

"Professor Zhuo." Menyue Bin smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand, I thought to myself that this guy is really wide, I said in my heart that you are a tomb robber, and you actually have the courage to go to the house of other archaeologists.

"The little door is coming? Yo! I also changed my hairstyle, and I feel more energetic! ”

Nadrod was a good chatter, and I sat down on the couch as I entered, and soon we were talking to him.

Professor Zhuo was a thin, middle-aged man with dark skin and a pair of thick, black-rimmed glasses. The eyes under the glasses are bright, which is probably related to his perennial work in identifying antiquities. Although Professor Zhuo is not old, he is also half white, but fortunately, he is originally an inch head, and the short black hair with a little white hair is not very obvious.

I saw them like this, I chatted one by one, thinking about when this greeting is the end, I am still sleepy here, although I squinted on the train for a while, but after all, it is not a proper sleep, and the mental head can not be replenished, so I interjected and asked, when the Marquis of Haidui was the emperor, did he come into contact with the civilization of Sanxingdui?

Professor Zhuo said: "Little comrade, this is that you are not professional, you are only half right, Sanxingdui culture is a very ancient culture, its upper limit of age is 4500150 years ago, roughly extending to about 3000 years ago, that is, from the late Neolithic period to the Xia and Shang periods of the Central Plains. And Liu He is the Yellow Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and basically has nothing to do with the culture of Sanxingdui. ”

I glanced at Menyue Bin and thought to myself, do all professors like to preach like this? If you don't comment on a few sentences, are you sorry for this name?

Kadokoshi shrugged his shoulders with a look of non-compliance.

"Then I'm only half right, what about the other half?"

"The other half guessed very smartly, because in the Han Dynasty, the land of Bashu did pay tribute to the information about this tree, and the No. 1 bronze tree unearthed in Sanxingdui, it was a miniature version of the bronze tree, and there was a giant dragon lurking under the bronze tree. You must know that in that era, the intention of the dragon was obvious, that is, to represent the kingship and the emperor. When Bashu presented this bronze dragon tree, they said that they found a divine tree that could reach the sky in the deep mountains, the branches of the divine tree were above the heavenly court, and the root of the sacred tree, deep in the earth, there was a giant dragon at its root. What connects the dragon and the tree is their common feature of "pointing to time". Ordinary trees can only be called trees, but for the purpose of measuring the heavens, the sacred tree with the function of "reaching the heavens" is called "Nagarjuna" and "Dragon". Due to the importance of measuring the heavens and determining the time of year to the agricultural society, this kind of dragon tree was gradually endowed with multiple divine functions such as protecting the crops, the security of the state, controlling the rain, and even the reproductive reproduction of animals and plants. ”

"It's just a sycophant!"

"This is not true, there is another point in the meaning of the bronze enshrined in Bashu, that is to say, the real dragon is in the world, and it must be the image of the prosperity of the Yellow Empire today. At that time, it should be the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the small country where Bashu paid tribute to Nagarjuna should be the descendants of the three-star culture. ”

Then this damn professor talked to me and Menyuebin about the culture of Sanxingdui, and finally said that the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, although they are all human bodies, their characteristics are strange in appearance. It is very similar to the cultural relics of a small country called Yoro in later generations.

When I heard this, I understood that this professor's papers and ideas were actually empty talk, all of which were unrealistic, and he had not found the bronze tree that Yelang had enshrined to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, nor did he have any definite evidence to confirm that Yelang was a descendant of the three-star civilization, and the reason why he was here to talk to us was only because he regarded us as an audience, as an audience willing to listen to his nonsense.

I pulled Men Eshibin's clothes and yawned.

"You don't believe me either?" Professor Zhuo caught my reaction and suddenly looked up at me.

The word "also" is really well used.

But I didn't dare to say that on my face, after all, he was also a friend of Menyue Bin, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

"Don't believe it, a few days ago I was in the fairy market, and I found a booklet, this booklet is from the Han Dynasty, which is a painting of some ancient cultural relics, and it is a picture album of offerings when the land of Huayi paid tribute to the Son of Heaven. I found a record of a bronze tree in it. I heard from Xiaomen that you had also found an ancient painting of the Tree of Heaven in your house, but you didn't want to show it to outsiders, so I wanted to ask you to take a look. The right is to identify whether my one is the same as the one inherited from your family, and when did the painting of your family come down? I'm just trying to ······. ”

I was stunned, but I quickly figured it out, it turned out that this door Yue Bin was using me as an excuse, and he wanted to get rid of the white wolf from the hands of this stupid professor, and this professor was also studying the tree and fell into the devil, and when he heard it, he naturally agreed, and he didn't want to be paid and took the initiative to invite me to show him the ancient paintings.

At this time, Professor Nazhuo was rummaging through his bookcase and shouting at me to wait, and I glanced at Menyue Bin with my eyes, trying to get him to say something. The heart said that we should leave, I can't afford to serve a madman like this. But at this time, I noticed that Menyue Bin had been staring at a book on Professor Zhuo's desk, and I followed his gaze and found that the name of the book was "The Mysterious Kolorum", and the cover of the book was a stone sculpture of a dog-headed human body.

Hey, this looks a little familiar!

I pressed my temple, and after a while, I finally remembered that we had seen this thing in the tomb at the end of the ear chamber in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, and it was about the depiction of the sacred tree in the mural.

And this stone statue is the guardian stone statue of the huge ancient city under the root of the sacred tree in the record of the Marquis of Haidu!
