XLII. Kolorum
"What is Kororum?" He looked up and met my eyes, and after making sure we were not mistaken, he spoke first.
······, Cola, the ancient Yi book is called "Keluo Lumu", which means "the central city", and the historical records are called "Kele". And according to the ancient Yi literature, at that time, it seemed that there was only Yelang who was as famous as Guizhou Coke and could be called "Kumu", did you read the book on my desk? That book is a study of Yoro culture. ”
When I heard this, my heart jumped, and I knew that it was no longer a coincidence, and it was already supported by facts. The place where the Marquis of Hailun went at that time was the ancient city of Yelang, and since this statement has gained a firm foothold, then what Professor Zhuo speculated about is inseparable.
"By the way, how do you know that Yelang paid tribute to the Han Dynasty in the first place?"
"My students picked up a piece of rubble in a stream in Ebian, which depicted Yelang paying tribute to the Han Dynasty." Professor Zhuo didn't look back, and while rummaging through his messy bookcase, he said to us: "The area around Ebian was also Yelang's territory, and that piece of rubble should have flowed out of the ancient tomb. ”
Ebian? Grandpa also appeared in Ebian, could it be said that there is really something in that place in Ebian?
"Where did you pick it up? Black Bamboo Ditch? ”
"No, but that river does flow down from the upper reaches of Heizhugou."
Nine times out of ten, I know that this professor does have two brushes, and with some antiquities and documents, he can actually guess the whole thing. All the clues were connected, one link after another, and I sorted out my thoughts.
First of all, 3,500 years ago, the ancestors of the Yelang people found the so-called Tsuten God Tree, and recorded it again to make a bronze tree.
Secondly, in 122 B.C., the Yelang people followed the memories of their ancestors and found the sacred tree that reached the sky, and found the dormant dragon under the tree, and they thought it was an auspicious omen, so they built a city under the root of the tree. Then he built a bronze tree and enshrined it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the people didn't take the things enshrined in this small country seriously, and threw them directly into the cold palace.
Finally, in 61 BC, Liu He fell ill, and someone asked him to look for a dragon bone dragon, Liu He thought of the dragon tree that he had seen in the imperial city and worshiped by the Yelang people, so he sent people to the ancient city of Yelang to find the dragon bone.
Then according to Hu Yinman's description, in 1945, the Japanese army thought that the front line was defeated and the invasion was weak, so they began to retreat gradually, but at the same time they made a plan, this plan we don't know, but it seems that they need to find their way to another world through the sacred tree, what to do? I don't know, maybe I want to conquer another world, after all, the Japanese have such a big brain, and it is definitely inherited.
At the end of the same year, the Japanese heard about the record of the sacred tree in the Marquis of Haiding, so they changed the channel into the sea to Poyang Lake, hoping to take advantage of this time to find the ancient tomb to explore, but they did not know what happened, so that the ship sank, and the whole ship was spared.
That's pretty much it for the timeline, but the deeper secrets in it still need us to explore, and I put my ear close to Menyue Bin and asked him to get this professor done quickly. And when it came to this, Menyue Bin was too lazy to say anything, so he pulled Professor Zhuo over. "Gotta get it. Tell us about Yoro. ”
"You believe it?" Professor Zhuo turned his head and looked at us with a confused expression, he probably couldn't imagine why we changed our faces so quickly, right?
Menyue Bin pulled him again and pressed him on the sofa: "Don't look for it, tell us about that Yelang." ”
In the following hours, Professor Zhuo taught us a solid lesson, and I also learned about the history and culture of the ancient country of Yelang, which was the first country established by ethnic minority ancestors in the southwest of China. The Xia Shang period belonged to Baipu Land, and this time period is extremely consistent with the time period of the rise of civilization in Sanxingdui. Moreover, the ancient Yelang people have a habit of worshipping trees, and this habit is very likely to be inherited from the Sanxingdui culture, even to the remnants of Yelang still believe in the ancient trees, in order to be protected by the worship culture. The children worship the tree as their godfather in order to bless their growth. During the New Year's festival, you should bring wine, food, incense and candles to worship next to the big tree. They also believe in ghost masters, divination in case of major events, and inquiring about bad luck.
This is also the argument that Professor Zhuo mentioned in his paper about the culture of ancient trees in China.
And the huge stone statue we see in the mural is called Pan Gu, and the dog's head and body are the totems of Yelang. This Yelang, as big as the Warring States Period, to the Western Han Dynasty, about 300 years before and after, according to the book, in order to expand the territory, Yelang King has established cities in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other regions. However, compared to the Han Dynasty at that time, Yelang was incomparable, and then died out in the war.
Yelang's sudden disappearance is a mystery in archaeology as well as in the history of China, and no one knows where that vast kingdom has been.
I listened to Professor Zhuo's words, and vaguely felt that the city under the sacred tree was very likely to be Gu Yelang's last national capital. But there is still a question when things come to this point, that is, the dragon under the sacred tree discovered by the Sanxingdui civilization at the beginning, why did the Yelang people slaughter it and supply the dragon bone to the Marquis of Haidu?
Kill a dragon, are these people crazy?
After a long conversation, it was already completely dark, and he suggested that we go out for a bite to eat, and we would continue to talk at the dinner table. Professor Zhuo clapped his hands and readily agreed, he was very willing to teach us two studious students. But I didn't do it, I was so sleepy that I had time to eat and drink with you, and after a while, I went out to buy a change of clothes, opened a hotel, and fell asleep.
I slept well until noon the next day, and when I woke up, I found that my mobile phone was bursting, all of which were calls from Men Yuebin, and I said in my heart that I didn't want me to sleep well!
Just as I was about to call back, the phone rang again.
I picked up the phone in a daze, and scolded directly: "Little cub, my brother's phone is not answered, right?" ”
"What's wrong!"
"Brother, I've got it done for you, I've fooled that guy into taking our brothers to find the ancient tomb of the Yelang people!"
When I heard this, I suddenly lost my sleep, and I thought to myself that I had been in the grave with him, and if this boy had taken our bottom out, wouldn't he have gone to jail?
I covered the phone and said hatefully, "You asked him to go with us to rob the tomb?" You are crazy? Aren't you afraid that he will turn around and denounce us? ”
"What the hell, it's not a tomb robbery, it's not a tomb robbery!" On the phone, Men Yuebin smiled contemptuously: "I'm a brother, will I hurt my brother?" Don't forget the title of the family, we are going to archaeology this time. ”
I was startled, dropped my phone, and collapsed on the bed.
At 1 p.m., I met with Professor Zhuo and three of his students. The three students are named Lu Zhongren, Chen Xiaofei, and Qin Ge.
After a short contact, we immediately set off to head to Ebian again.
