Chapter 601: The Rise and Fall of History

Especially after hearing Jiang Yan say that this parchment scroll was related to Gu Mi Kingdom, Wu Ze didn't want to give up this opportunity, this was the legendary extremely rich Gu Mi Kingdom, and he was quite looking forward to going there. ∝ 8∝8∝ read ∝ books, .◆.o+

The so-called ancient country, that is a small ancient country in this area of the Western Regions thousands of years ago, according to legend, this ancient country is not big, according to historical records, ancient Mi country, Wang ruled ancient Mi city. Go to Chang'an 9,000 li, 2,860 households, 19,000 mouths, 2,750 victorious soldiers, auxiliary marquis, left and right generals, left and right captains, left and right cavalry kings, east and Shanshan, north and Qiuzi, southeast and end, southwest to Khotan.

Although this ancient country is not big, but it is a gathering of businessmen, very rich, and it is known as an oasis lying on coins in ancient times, but this rich and small country, I don't know why, it suddenly disappeared in the long river of history, and no one knows what is going on.

Over the years, many archaeological experts have done a lot of research on this legendary ancient country, but there is still no definite answer.

This small country that became rich on the ancient Silk Road, just as no one knows how it rose, and no one knows how it died, only a slight mention in the history books, but the specific situation is not recorded.

Now the archaeological community has several different interpretations of the demise of this ancient country, one of which is that this small country was attacked by other countries because of its own lack of troops in the process of dealing with other ancient countries around it, but it was richer than other countries, resulting in the annexation and extinction of the entire country.

There are many people who support the theory of being swallowed up and destroyed by other countries, but there are other different voices in the archaeological community, and another widely circulated theory is the theory of environmental degradation, that is, this was once an incomparably rich oasis, but because human activities are too active, the vegetation in the oasis is disorderly destroyed, the surrounding natural environment is slowly deteriorating, and the wind and sand invasion have made this small country an unsuitable place for human habitation, so they have moved away as a whole.

Of course, there is an even more peculiar theory, some people say that this country was because of a sudden black storm in the Taklamakan Desert, which caused its kings to be buried in a pile of sand and dust by this unprecedented wind and sand, so that this rich small country suddenly disappeared into the long river of history overnight.

It is also said that the royal capital of the ancient Mi country, Gu Mi City, one day in history, suddenly rose a plague, this plague swept the entire city, from the palace to the common people, no one was spared, this rich national capital, in just a few days, the population directly lost most of the population, since then, this small country on the Silk Road has collapsed, until extinction.

Wu Ze didn't have much interest in understanding what the reason for the demise of this ancient Mi country was, he was interested in the royal capital of the ancient Mi country that did not know its whereabouts.

Gu Mi City, the royal capital of Gu Mi Kingdom, is another name for an oasis lying on coins, you can imagine the prosperity of that place at that time, since Gu Mi disappeared in the long river of history, this Gu Mi City also disappeared from people's sight.

From ancient times to modern times, there have always been people trying to find this disappearing royal capital, but no one has ever heard of anyone ever discovering its existence.

According to the short passage of text in the history books, this ancient country should be located in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert, but the surrounding environment has undergone changes over the past thousands of years, and there is no way to judge its specific location by relying on this small piece of text alone.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many explorers who have entered the Taklamakan Desert to find the legendary capital of the ancient kings, but without exception, they all went away with excitement and returned with failure.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many Western explorers who haunted here, and some of them died in the long yellow sand.

In Wu Ze's eyes, those Western explorers were innocent, and the so-called explorers at that time were robbers of cultural relics with a layer of skin, who took advantage of the chaos of the country at that time to loot all kinds of cultural relics and antiques here, and packed away all those cultural relics that had a little value, leaving no remnants.

But even in that era when foreigners came here to go crazy for gold, I didn't hear that anyone had discovered the ruins of Gumi City, and until now, the whereabouts of this Gumi City are still a puzzling mystery.

"Squeak......" Luo Fat Man opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Brother Ze, Jiang Da Beauty, you two got up so early, what are you talking about? To be able to talk so vigorously in this hallway! Luo Fatzi looked at them standing in the corridor chatting and asked in surprise.

Wu Ze and Jiang Yan only felt that something was wrong at this time, and this corridor was indeed not a good place to chat.

"Fatty, you go and call Meizi, let's go down for breakfast first, and we'll discuss something with you later." Wu Ze and Luo Fatzi said.

"What do you have to discuss with the two of us? If it's not a big deal, you just decide. Luo Fat Man said with a big grin.

"I'll talk about this later, you go and call down the plums, let's go down to fill our stomachs first, and then talk about it in detail later." Wu Ze said noncommittally.

"Okay, I'm going to call it." Luo Fatzi went directly to Liu Rumei's room and knocked on the door.

An hour later, they returned to Wu Ze's room after breakfast.

"Because the situation has changed, the four of us will have a small meeting now, first of all, I will tell you first, the parchment scroll we found in the coffin, after Yan'er passed the picture to her mentor, there have been preliminary results, the parchment scroll is written on a text called La Liga, Professor Zhang of the Beijing Institute of Archaeology, is studying the text written on this parchment scroll, it is estimated that it can be translated within one or two days."

"La Liga? What the hell is that? I've never heard of it? Luo Fatzi asked suspiciously.

"This is a kind of script used by the ancient Mi country that disappeared thousands of years ago, don't talk about you, I just heard about it, it is estimated that there are few people in the world who know this kind of writing now." Wu Ze said with a smile.

"Ancient Mi Country? Isn't it the ancient country that is said to be an oasis lying on coins? Haha, that's great, if we can find clues to the legendary ancient kingdom on this parchment scroll, then should we go there to find out? Luo Fatzi said excitedly.
