"Bronze Fu" is frustrated and rhymed, graceful but not imposing. I faintly read from it the wealth and strength of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the prosperity of agriculture and mulberry, and the prosperity of copper refining by all people; and the king of Dian who cultivated both civil and military, and was people-oriented.

In front of this huge bronze mural stands a bronze figure, which looks up and stops, facing the mural, as if inspecting the people's livelihood. I raised the lamp to shine it, and as expected: this person's appearance is the same as mine, and he is the king of Dian who is admired by the clan!

On the wall next to the King of Dian is carved a general with a sword on his back, and that general is magnificent, presumably Gao Moli.

The ebony walls on the left and right sides of the bronze mural are covered with countless genealogies. These genealogies are all the names of the people who have been guarding the island for generations, and they are densely packed and full of walls. I suddenly sighed very emotionally: What kind of complex and perseverance did the descendants of the Dian people keep on the isolated island in the lake for generations?

"Let's go, it's upstairs." Gao Moli interrupted my train of thought, lit the two oil lamps at the top of the staircase, and walked up the stairs on his own. I followed.

The black-lit staircase shone in the faint glow of the oil lamps, and the handrails and planks of the staircase were barely worn, and it seemed that few people had gone up it. Perhaps, there are very few people who are qualified to go straight to the second floor and get a glimpse of the secret history of the Dian people.

The second floor is extremely wide, and two copper lamps stand at the staircase, which echoes the lamps downstairs and illuminates the second floor in a dim light.

The second floor is like a huge museum exhibition hall, displaying the forgotten history of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

The walls made of ebony wood for thousands of years are painted with colored paint murals of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and although these murals have passed for thousands of years, they are still colorful and as new. As I looked all the way, I could probably understand the meaning of a few of the paintings.

The one next to the staircase depicts the clansmen kneeling on the shore of Fuxian Lake, on which a giant snake breaks through the water, and on the giant snake carries a king, who is the king of Dian. This painting should be a myth and beautify the origin of the King of Dian, just as the people of the Central Plains call the emperor the Son of Heaven, and in various descriptions, the Son of Heaven always comes by dragon. In all dynasties, regardless of the emperor and vassal lord, but all those who unified the territory, there was a legend of destiny and miraculous origin, which was of great significance in that era of idealism.

The next mural depicts a sacrificial scene: the king of Dian leads his subjects to kneel in front of a bronze pillar, the priestess jumps and prays next to the bronze pillar, and a huge eye appears in the sky, and the eyeball is the bright sun. The wind and clouds suddenly change, and the red sun is the pupil! This sacrificial ritual is full of strange colors,

The next one is the mural of the surrender of the king of Dian, this painting depicts a very grand and grand scene: the king of Dian led the tribe, holding the treasure box, kneeling in front of the Han general who read the edict, the treasure box does not know what it contains, looking at its form, the king of Dian intends to dedicate it to the Han general. The Han generals fluttered behind them, and the soldiers were like clouds, and the scene was not like a post-war rest, but like a grand reception.

The murals are bright in color, the characters are vividly depicted, and the scenes are magnificent. However, I felt that something was missing from the painting. After thinking about it, I found something peculiar, turned my head and asked Gao Moli: "Why is there no you in this mural?" ”

Whether it is the bronze sculpture in the tomb or other murals in this hall, as long as there is a king of Dian, there must be a sword guard Gao Moli painted on his side, but only this mural does not see his shadow. Gao Moli's identity in the ancient Dian Kingdom is extremely important, and it shouldn't be as simple as the painter forgetting to paint him.

Gao Moli looked at the painting and said quietly: "I am on it, but I am not by the side of the King of Dian." ”

Gao Moli pointed to a soldier behind the Han general, that soldier was wearing the armor of the Han army, hidden among the thousands of troops, although its position was not conspicuous, but its face was painted very clearly, it was Gao Moli!

I asked him puzzled: "Why are you in the camp of the Han army?" Could it be that this mural has a deeper meaning? ”

He nodded, and then told me about a strange incident that happened when the King of Dian returned to the imperial court. This incident was not enough to be recorded in the history books by the historians of the Han Dynasty, but it was recorded by the descendants of the Dian people in the form of murals. Because, the occurrence of this strange thing indirectly led to the migration and extinction of the Dian people!

After the King of Dian submitted the table of surrender to the imperial court, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a decree, in addition to praising the King of Dian for his deep understanding of righteousness, but also made a clear request, that is, to ask for the treasure of the town of Dian "Suiyang Pearl". Suiyang Zhu is a god-given artifact, directly related to the wind and rain of the entire ancient Dian country, once lost, the entire ancient Dian country will fall into a disaster. However, Emperor Wu asked for it by name, and the King of Dian did not dare to disobey.

When the king of Dian was in a dilemma, the priestess came up with a safe strategy: the king of Dian knelt down and offered pearls in accordance with the emperor's will. Gao Moli, on the other hand, lurked into the Han army's pearl protection team, waiting for an opportunity to steal the Suiyang pearl before it was sent back to Kyoto, and then quietly brought it back to the Dian Kingdom.

The team of the bead guards is extremely large and heavily guarded. The chief Han will not leave the treasure box containing the Suiyang Pearl, even if he goes to the toilet or sleeps, he will not let it out of sight.

One night, the Han army was stationed in the mountains, and the wind was fierce and the rain was pouring down, and the whole military camp was thrown into chaos. Gao Moli saw the right time, extinguished the oil lamp in the Han general's barracks, took the opportunity to enter, sealed the throat of the Han general with a sword, and took the treasure box and left quickly.

Everything went smoothly according to plan.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned that the jewel had been stolen, he was extremely distressed and sent three decrees in a row, asking Yizhou officials to thoroughly investigate the matter. However, each investigation ended in vain, and the emperor had no choice but to give up.

Gao Moli brought the treasure box containing the Suiyang pearl back to the palace of the Dian king, and when the king of Dian opened it, a strange thing happened: the treasure box with the seal intact actually contained a fake bead! The previous Suiyang Orb was secretly dropped by someone at some point and secretly replaced with a fake!

The orb is lost, offending the wrath of the heavens. Soon after, the Dian people were forced to leave their homeland and move to the land redivided by the imperial court, and since then they have been forced to live a life of exile!

My previous understanding of the culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom was blank, and I didn't know anything about the treasures of the town, so I asked Gao Moli: "What is the Suiyang Pearl?" ”

Gao Moli replied: "A jewel from the sky." According to legend, it lives with heaven and earth, was born on the top of the copper mountain, floats above the clouds for many years, and absorbs the essence of sunlight. Like the sun to which all things are directed, the Suiyang pearl can shine and heat, breed all things, and can also drive wind and rain......"

Only then did I realize that the sun pattern I saw in the bronze sculptures and murals before may not refer to the real sun, but the treasure of the ancient Dian Kingdom - Suiyang Pearl.

The tree attracts the wind, and the fragrance of the flower attracts the butterfly! Since Suiyang Pearl is a rare treasure of the ancient Dian Kingdom, it must have been famous all over the world in that era, and it must have been coveted by people for a long time. This unsolved case may be a conspiracy that some people have been planning for a long time!
