Mysterious thieves
The Suiyang beads were secretly replaced, causing the ancient Dian Kingdom to suffer a catastrophe. This unsolved case has become a thousand-year-old mystery and was painted on the wall of the Wudian by the descendants of the Dian people. I suddenly wanted to find out, so I turned my head and asked Gao Moli: "Is the order of the characters in this mural the same as the scene at that time?" ”
Gao Moli explained that the Dian script was not as developed as the Central Plains, and he liked to record important events with bronze carvings. The process of making bronze sculptures is relatively long, and the basis for its comparison is the drawings. There are three peerless painters in the palace of the ancient Dian king, and every time there is an important and grand occasion, these three painters will depict the scene as it is. From the sorting of scenes to the expressions of the characters, every grass and tree is depicted in fine detail.
The matter of offering pearls was very important, and it was originally intended to be carved and cast on the shell storage vessel, but the result of the matter was unexpected, and in the end it had to be abandoned. Even so, the depiction of the original painting does not deviate from the situation at the time.
It was very nice to look at the painting in front of me, as if I were actually observing the grand scene of the pearl offering more than 2,000 years ago. It's just that my focus is on finding flaws.
I felt that my reasoning skills were acceptable, and at this point I began to speculate on myself.
When the King of Dian handed over the Suiyang Zhu to the generals of the Han Dynasty, the two personally inspected it and determined that the Suiyang Zhu was genuine, so the Han General personally pasted a seal on the treasure box. The glue used to attach the seal is made of glutinous rice, and once it dries, it will firmly stick the seal to the treasure box, and if the treasure box is opened, it will inevitably tear it.
When Gao Moli brought the treasure box back to the palace of the Dian king, the seal on it was intact, which means that no one had opened the treasure box on the way to escort it. In this way, there is only one possibility left: someone is waiting for the opportunity to do something when the glutinous rice glue is not dry! At that time, the Han generals were busy handing over and greeting the king of Dian, and they would definitely be negligent.
I said to Gao Moli firmly: "The person who stole the Suiyang Pearl must be in this mural!" ”
"In the mural?" Gao Moli looked at me with an incredulous gaze, as if waiting for my further explanation.
I drew a circle around the Han Dynasty general who was in charge with a spotlight beam and said, "And, he should be hiding here!" ”
Behind the Han general, there are six personal entourages, these six entourages seem to be people in the military gate, all wearing armor, the armor is different from ordinary soldiers, they should be relatively high-ranking people in the team. The general in charge took the treasure box from the hand of the king of Dian, sealed it with a seal, and handed it to the person behind him, and then exchanged salutes with the king of Dian to say goodbye.
Judging from the position of these six people, the three people who are most likely to take over the treasure box are the three behind Han Jiang. Judging from the mural alone, the three people are dressed and demeanor exactly the same, but their appearance is different: one is burly and straight, with a meaty face; One is stout and does not smile; There is also a medium build, easy-going face.
I am not a master of physiognomy, and it is difficult to detect anything unusual from their faces, and the inference of finding the thief is in a dilemma for a while.
"Don't you think that man's sleeves are strange?" Gao Moli asked me, pointing to the easy-going soldier.
I looked closely, and I saw that one of the soldier's cuffs was unusually loose, and a black veil peeking out of the cowhide sleeve.
The Suiyang Bead is the size of a bowl, and if you are going to secretly swap it out in front of everyone, you must have an excellent hiding place, and in this loose sleeve, it is likely that the fake Suiyang Pearls are hidden in advance!
The exposed black gauze looked very conspicuous, I thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered: The warlocks of the Han Dynasty mostly wore white clothes, and put a black gauze on top of the white clothes, which means controlling yin and yang.
Could it be that the person who stole the Suiyang Pearl turned out to be a warlock? And this warlock is also related to the imperial court, and he can easily blend into the army!
I told Gao Moli about my speculation as it was, and he looked away and said, "General Han did hand the treasure box to the person you said, but I kept staring at the treasure box at the time and didn't see him do anything. ”
I reminded: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and his eyes are like torches, and he can't stop the time when he looks away!" He is a warlock, and most of the warlocks know the secret arts, and the so-called secret techniques are the tricks of the eyes. If he wants to steal the day in full view, it's as simple as playing a trick. ”
Gao Moli seemed to have an understanding, and said with a light sigh: "If you could have thought of these things more than two thousand years ago, the result might have been different. ”
If the Suiyang Zhu had not been secretly replaced, the ancient Dian Kingdom would not have lost the blessing of the gods, would not have flooded and plagues would have run rampant, and the King of Dian and his people would not have been displaced and lived in Shu. In this way, the King of Dian may not be killed by the Yizhou Assassin History, and the clansmen will not have to stay on the isolated island for thousands of years!
I had mixed feelings and didn't know how to answer him, so I simply fell silent and went to see the last mural.
This mural is very different from the previous ones, consisting of three small drawings that show the scene of the clansmen building the Wuqiao and Wudian. It can be seen that the tribesmen lived on the island in the middle of the lake from the beginning, and there was no bridge under the water at that time, and if the tribesmen wanted to enter and exit, they had to go by boat. At first, the water was as clear as a mirror, and the sky above the lake was foggy and unmisty. Later, the lake changed dramatically, the water boiled, and countless huge ebony trees emerged from the bottom of the lake. The people used these ebony trees to build bridges and buildings, and since then, the lake has been shrouded in smoke, and Wukoma Island has become as mysterious as a fairyland on earth.
My guess is that the lake may be related to geological activity, which is a manifestation of the release of energy from the bottom of the lake. As a result of this activity, all the ebony buried at the bottom of the lake gushed out, causing the water to rise in temperature and the mist to steam. Most of the rotating rocky lithosphere extended by Wuju Island is also caused by the release of heat energy from the bottom of the lake, indicating that the crustal activity at the bottom of the lake has continued for thousands of years.
This phenomenon has created a mysterious island with smoke locking the surface of the lake and the neighing of black horses, but it is also like planting a timeless bomb under the isolated island, once it gets out of control, the island will be destroyed!
While thinking wildly, Gao Moli walked in front of another wall, and with a hard push, half of the ebony wall was cut to one side, and a huge wooden frame appeared in front of him. Rows of books are lined up under wooden shelves, and bronze objects and pottery are placed above. As far as the eye can see, the entire ebony shelf is like a huge bookshelf, which displays the secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
Gao Moli took out a heavy ancient book from the bottom, opened the parchment scroll wrapped in the outer layer, handed it to me, and said, "This is the biography of the Dian people, which records the ultimate secret of the Dian king. ”
I hesitated and said, "I can't read the seal script." ”
"This is revised by later generations, you should understand it."
I reached out and took it, opened the cover, and couldn't wait to find out the ultimate secret that had to do with me!
