Su Rui took Ziyang and Lao Wang over the sand slope, the terrain in front of them was relatively gentle, and the vision suddenly opened up.

Su Rui raised the diving lamp in his hand, and at the end of the light, he could vaguely see a magnificent pyramid-shaped building standing in the distance!

From a distance, this palace-like building has eaves and arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and the paint on the surface has been gradually eroded by air and water vapor over the years, and the color is gray, making this huge building look depressed and dilapidated.

"I'm grass, it's time to send it! Now it's time to send it! Lao Wang's excited voice trembled. If it weren't for Su Rui grabbing his wrist, this guy would have run over wildly.

"Don't rush over, let's take a look at the murals here, maybe it records the origin of this palace."

Su Rui took Ziyang and Lao Wang to a smooth mountain rock on the side, and under the illumination of the light, you could see that the smooth stone wall was carved with various patterns.

"Ziyang, can you tell the age of this mural?" Su Rui looked at Ziyang and asked.

Zi Yang squinted his eyes and looked at it, this picture scroll was about one meter high and more than ten meters long. All the lines are carved out of the rock with sharp objects.

Ziyang came to the stone wall to take a closer look, and saw that the figures on the mural had rounded lines and plump images, and it could be seen that the person who made the mural was a skilled craftsman. There are no less than hundreds of human and animal patterns on the whole picture, and almost every image is a garment and beard, which is delicate, and it must have taken a lot of time to carve.

Zi Yang looked at it for a while and said: "This thing should be a work of the Qin and Han dynasties, you see that all the figures seem to have no bones, and this 'boneless' painting method began to rise from the Qin Dynasty......

When Ziyang was still studying the lines of the figures, Lao Wang had already walked back and forth along the mural, and opened his mouth to interrupt Ziyang: "I understand!" ”

Su Rui looked at Lao Wang in surprise, he had finished interpreting such a complex mural in such a short time, could this guy really have some unknown talent?

"Tell me about it."

"It's a picture of a battle, you see, at the beginning it's a neat line of soldiers, they're marching in a hurry, and when they get to the battlefield they start digging trenches and pitching tents - you see there's the largest tent here, and this is supposed to be the general's. They're going to fight a long war, and you see they're going to build a house in the back.

Later, they began to fight with flying dragons and mythical beasts, and many people died, but they won, and then slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate.

If you look at this side again, there is another group of troops from the outside - the armor on both sides is different, the two teams are fighting together, and they suddenly say that they will not fight, and the two sides are reconciled, you see them put down their arms, hold hands and chatter, and after being on both sides for a while, the later group of troops left, and the first people reluctantly saw them off - you see and beckon.

The final picture is a happy ending, where human beings have defeated the mythical beasts and foreign enemies, defended their homeland, and their descendants will live happily together!

In short, this mural tells a mythical story of fighting with the sky, fighting with people, and then having endless fun. ”

Su Rui looked at Ziyang with some tears and laughter.

Zi Yang rolled his eyes: "Are you looking at the picture and talking?" Your interpretation is at the level of a third grade of elementary school - but it is also a true reflection of your intelligence. ”

Lao Wang was annoyed and said angrily: "Damn, talking so hurtful? So tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

Zi Yang coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Academically speaking, there are two forms of murals, one is mythical and fantasy, and the other is narrative epic - Lao Wang, you undoubtedly belong to the first type. ”

Lao Wang said impatiently: "Don't be useless! Hurry up! When is it still sold! Lao Tzu is waiting to dig up treasure! ”

"You see the biggest feature of this mural is that it is realistic and realistic, these soldiers in front of the array, wearing armor, holding a long ge, wearing a hair crown, although the lines are simple, but the spirit is brilliant, seeing this image does it make you think of the cultural relics unearthed in a certain scenic spot?"

"Terracotta Warriors and Horses?!" Lao Wang suddenly realized, "What do you mean this is Qin Bing?" ”

Zi Yang nodded and continued: "These Qin soldiers have approached the south and arrived here—do you feel that this pattern is very similar to the terrain of Qin Han Village?" Also, Comrade Wang, this is not a trench, this is a sinkhole. ”

Zi Yang pointed to the circular pattern and said, "I guess, when these Qin soldiers arrived here, there was no water in the pool, and for some reason, they were stationed near the sinkhole - you see they also built houses on the hillside, as if they were going to live for a long time. ”

Zi Yang took a few steps forward, and continued to interpret the pattern on the stone wall with a light: "Look here, some winged monsters suddenly crawled out of the sinkhole, and they began to attack these Qin soldiers, and here a soldier fell to the ground, and there was a monster standing next to him, about the same size as a human, and there were more monsters crawling out below.

Next was the battle between the winged monster and the Qin soldiers, and the Qin soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

And then there's this pattern, you see, this general-like man is leading the people to worship the heavens by the sinkhole, and judging by what is placed in front of them, it must be a sacrificial ritual - see what they are sacrificing? ”

Zi Yang explained this, and motioned to Lao Wang and Su Rui to carefully look at the sacrifices on the mural.

Lao Wang leaned over and squinted his eyes and chirped, "Cows, sheep, pigs...... Hey, there seem to be two more villains! ”

Zi Yang nodded, and said with a heavy face: "That's right, this is a boy and a girl." These Qin soldiers thought that they were attacked because they had been punished by heaven, and the monsters in the sinkhole were sent by the gods to punish them, so they used sacrifices to atone for their sins and keep them safe. ”

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "These little people are made of dough, right?" Besides, where can these Qin soldiers find children to sacrifice in this barren mountain and wild place? ”

Zi Yang snorted and said, "So pay attention to the details!" Do you see the costumes of the generals and their men here are a little different from when they first started? That's right! It means that they have been here for some years! These boys and girls were either taken captive from outside or were ...... their own descendants. ”

Lao Wang grew his mouth and said, "Give your children to monsters to eat?" How can it be so cruel? I don't believe it! ”

Ziyang said: "In order to survive, people can do anything. Believe it or not, that's how it happened. You see, after the sacrifice, the monster did not come out again, and the two sides coexisted peacefully.

Let's look further back, the descendants of the Qin soldiers, there will be sacrificial ceremonies every once in a while. In addition to the virgins, half of the prey that they usually hunt is also sacrificed to the monsters. ”

Ziyang pointed to a mural on which a hunter-like figure had half a wild boar at his feet, and the other half of his hand was being thrown into the sinkhole, which was covered with white bones.

Lao Wang took a closer look and said, "It's really split in half from the middle, you see that the half in his hand is still dripping blood." ”

Zi Yang nodded: "Next is the part of the 'foreign invasion' that Lao Wang said - you see that these new troops are all cavalry, wearing fur hats, wearing leather robes, and the most conspicuous thing is the longbow in their hands - does this costume remind you of a unique class of troops in history?" ”

When Lao Wang was still scratching his ears and cheeks, Su Rui said softly: "Mongolian cavalry! ”

Zi Yang nodded, "That's right, this group of troops who broke in was the Mongolian cavalry. ”

"Cut~" Lao Wang said with a disgusted look: "You have been making up stories for a long time, and the story is the same as the real thing!" Su Rui, let's not listen to his nonsense, dig up treasure! ”

Zi Yang frowned and said, "Why am I talking nonsense?" ”

Lao Wang Nu looked at it and said: "The Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are separated by hundreds of years, how can their two troops fight together? Do you think this is the starting point for the author to write the crossing! ”

Zi Yang said hatefully: "First of all, the difference between the Qin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty is more than 1,400 years, not hundreds of years. Secondly, I repeat it, pay attention to the details! Keep your dog's eyes open and take a closer look, have these people who fought against the Mongol cavalry have changed their costumes again? ”

Lao Wang looked at it carefully twice and said, "Just, even if you are right, how do the people in this mural know what clothes and how the Qin soldiers have been wearing for hundreds of years?" ”

Seeing that Zi Yang didn't speak, Lao Wang said triumphantly: "What? There's a loophole in your story, right? ”

Ziyang said silently: "Inheritance." ”

"What's that?"

Su Rui explained: "What Zi Yang said should be a kind of collective memory, a disciplined army like Qin Bing, even if they live in this isolated place, they will definitely retain some military habits, they will find a way to record the deeds of their ancestors in the past generations, pass them on to future generations through murals, or oral descriptions, and when building this palace, they will be specially arranged together and engraved here." ”

Zi Yang nodded: "So this mural is carved so delicately and solemnly, which shows that these things have a special meaning to them." ”

The three of them were discussing with their heads down, when suddenly a strange voice sounded in the palace behind them!

"Whew-"

It's like someone is sighing softly.

"Who!" Zi Yang turned around and exclaimed.

Such a sound suddenly sounded in the silent palace, which instantly made Ziyang feel his scalp tingle and his back cold.

"What who?" Lao Wang looked back and said, "The sound of the wind blowing, right?" What a fuss! ”

"Will there be wind in this place?" Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and asked.

Su Rui stared at the mural with frowning eyes, as if he hadn't heard Ziyang's words.

"Why did these Mongolian cavalry appear in a place like Qinhan Village?" Su Rui seemed to be talking to himself.

"It's simple, they're here to find the dragon vein!"

Looking at Su Rui and Lao Wang's shocked eyes, Zi Yang continued: "Do you remember the poem you hummed before you went into the water? “

"Kublai Khan came to a paradise,

Ordered the construction of a majestic palace of peace,

The holy river meanders through this place,

Through the unfathomable door,

Direct into the deep sea where there is no sunlight. ”

Su Rui repeated the poem again, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You mean that "Kublai Khan" is a narrative poem? What does it record about the southern expedition of the Mongol cavalry? ”

Zi Yang nodded and said, "Originally, I always had a question in my heart, why did the coordinate location of that star map appear here in Qinhan Village?" I have checked a lot of historical materials, and during the time of Genghis Khan, the Qin-Han village was still the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was impossible for the Mongol army to run here.

Later, when I listened to you translate this poem, I suddenly figured it out!

It was not Genghis Khan and his troops who came to the village of Qin and Han, but his grandson - Kublai Khan!

This Mongolian cavalry is the cowardly army under Kublai Khan! ”
