Chapter 0141, Strange Inscription
The water in which this burial chamber is soaked is surprisingly cold, and it is not at all what it should be this season. It's even a few points colder than ice water. I was shivering from the cold, so I found two sticks and made a simple stilt, and I also made a stilt for the small bowl, and barely walked in the water.
The small bowl followed behind me, looking at the burial chamber with obvious curiosity. To be honest, it wasn't just her curiosity at the time, but I was also curious.
When I looked at the shape of the burial chamber, a picture came to mind.
The Lion Rock Han Tomb is extremely peculiar. During the Han Dynasty, craftsmen dug 17 meters down from the top of the mountain, and then chiseled out 12 underground mausoleums with a total area of more than 850 square meters, and a lion mountain was almost hollowed out.
The plug stone used to seal the whole tomb, when it was dug up later, I saw a boulder with cinnabar inscription written on it: "The second is under the sun, the east is two, the simple road, the width is three feet nine inches, the height is four feet and a half inches, and the width is five inches". The above line of words is the location of this plug stone, which is its size, and it can be guessed that the designer of the tomb at that time had an accurate mark on the position and size of each plug stone, which shows the high level of tomb construction in the Western Han Dynasty.
I looked up at the top of the chamber as if it had been carved out of the stone. Except for a slight crack in the center, there was no trace of piling up at all. I could tell from the gap that it was a cave dug from the top of the mountain.
However, I still couldn't understand that since the road had been opened, a hole needed to be dug from the top of the mountain. In ancient times, when these tombs were built, they would never care about the lives of craftsmen. When the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was completed, Qin II ordered all the craftsmen to be buried alive. I couldn't understand it for a while, so I just didn't think about it!
On the contrary, it was a small bowl, and he didn't know the meaning of this tomb at all, so he only shouted on the side: "Brother Xiao Xia, there is a strange atmosphere in this tomb, I feel that there is a cold behind me, this tomb is not simple!" ”
Not only did she feel this strange atmosphere, but even I felt it. As soon as I came in, I met that boy with a golden body, and I encountered such a strange formation here, which made my whole person feel bad.
It is said to be an ancient tomb, but there are no burial goods, and even the coffin is not very visible. Coupled with the influx of seawater, the smell of dust has been sealed for thousands of years, and the taste inside is extremely strange. But what surprised me even more was that there was a stone tablet in it! And it's also in Chinese characters.
Stone tablets are such things in various countries, because other writing carriers are easy to destroy over time, but this kind of thing can be preserved for thousands of years, as long as it is not deliberately destroyed or exposed to the wind and sun, this thing will not be too problematic for tens of thousands of years. In ancient times, only important or formal texts were preserved in stone. The stele in the burial chamber must be a biography or epitaph.
With the ins and outs of the stele tomb, you can basically explain it clearly, who the hell still looks at the murals.
This stele may be because there is water in the ancient tomb, so the environment is humid, there is no dust on it, plus the entire tomb is out of the cave, so in general, the text on the stele is preserved quite well, at least it doesn't seem too difficult.
I probably glanced at the stele and was a little surprised......
I'll go to it.,I thought it was Chinese characters.,Fuck you don't know anything when you get closer!!
Isn't this the legendary Khitan small print? Khitan small characters are a unique type of Khitan script that mainly uses phonetic symbols similar to the radicals of Chinese characters to spell Khitan vocabulary. Since, in most cases, a phonetic symbol represents a monosyllabic combination of vowels and consonants, so, in general, the Khitan small characters are more of a syllabic script. At present, about 50%-60% of Khitan small characters can be recognized, and the research progress is not very fast because the number of existing Khitan small characters is not large. According to historical records, the Khitan characters were created by Yelu Diera (the younger brother of Yelu Abaoji) around 925 AD, inspired by the Uighur script. In addition to the Khitan small characters, the Khitan people also created the Khitan characters to write the Khitan language. Khitan large characters and Khitan small characters, these two scripts were used in parallel in Khitan history.
It seems that this tomb is still an inescapable product of the Khitans!
According to historical records, after the fall of Liao, the Khitans disappeared, so where did the millions of Khitans go? Historians speculate that there are roughly three possibilities:
First, the Khitan people living in the ancestral land of the Khitan gradually forgot their ethnic origin and merged with other ethnic groups.
Second, after the fall of Western Liao, most of the Khitans in Mobei migrated westward to the Kerman region of Iran and were completely Islamized.
Third, after the outbreak of the Jin-Mongolian War, some of the Khitans who "swore not to eat Jinsu" defected to Mongolia, and scattered all over the country when they went to the east and west with the Mongol army.
In another case, he fled all the way to Southeast Asia through Yunnan, and then took a ship to settle in the South Pacific. Although this speculation is not accepted by the academic community, many tribes on the islands of the South Pacific have some stories similar to the origin of the Khitans.
To be honest, although I am proficient in many words, I cannot read the words on this tombstone at all.
Bai was happy, and it is estimated that he can only continue to see the murals over there!
I also saw the mural, judging from the costumes above, it should be the costumes of the late Khitan period, and the owner of the tomb may be a Xianbei person who lived in the Liao Dynasty or even the Dongdan period!
Not to mention, I really gained something from such research!
Xiao Puxian, the empress of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, sent Yelu Dashi to lead troops to guard Juyong Pass, the only place where the Jin soldiers attacked Yan, she wanted to keep the last bloodline of Da Liao, and handed over her trust to her nephew Yelu Dashi. It was this Yelu Dashi who led the remnants of the Khitan to cross the desert and establish the "Western Liao State" in Central Asia, thousands of miles away.
Xiao Puxian retreated from the Song army in the south and the Jin soldiers in the north, and she used her immature shoulders to support the burden of 10,000 catties of the dying rivers and mountains of Daliao. She stood in the blood-colored sunset at the head of Nanjing, which rekindled the flame of hope in the hearts of the desperate Khitans, and reopened the blood of Daliao who fought for dignity in her veins!
Soon after, Xiao Puxian was defeated and died. However, according to the meaning of this mural, she did not die, but could not escape all the way, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Song Dynasty sea ships. fled to the neighborhood and founded a small state. Only then did I understand why there was such a tomb in such a remote place!
After reading these, I basically already know who this tomb is, it should be the tomb of the last Xiao Queen Xiao Puxian, and a generation of heroines finally ended up fleeing overseas. Pathetic, alas!
I talked about these things with the small bowl, and got up to look for the door to the next burial chamber, but before I could do it, I had just walked a few steps when the burial objects next to me collapsed, and then a dark figure came out of the pile of burial objects!
Fraud?!
I was taken aback, the first reaction at that time was that there was something dirty hidden in this tomb, probably because I had been doing it for a long time in this line, I even had an instinctive reaction, and when the figure just drilled out, I "banged" and directly pulled out the green sword, just at the moment when I pulled out the green sword, a stilt fell down, my whole person was directly unstable, fell into the water, plopped, half of my body fell into the water. I fell down and the dog gnawed on the mud, and I only felt that I touched two soft things, and I listened!
"Ah!!h
A female scream with extremely high decibels suddenly sounded, and the figure actually spoke: "It's me!" I've finally found you! ”
To be honest, I fell too hard just now, and I haven't reacted so far, my two hands are still on those two things, and then I reacted suddenly, and then I pulled my hands out, and the whole person was embarrassed. As soon as she spoke, there was no meaning to blame, so I put down the Qingying Sword.
I was also shocked into a cold sweat, I stepped on the stilts again, and couldn't help but ask her, "Who are you?" How could it be in such a place! ”
"I ...... I don't know how I got in! ”
The girl in the darkness cried, "I'll be here when I wake up, save me!" After a while, the voice burst into tears, "It's me!" It's me, you won't forget me, will you? ”
