Chapter 608: The Mystery of the Tomb

Zhu Qi said that he had explored the tomb of the prince and the doctor, but when the tomb of the doctor was opened, the sealing stone was broken, and the most important gold well in the ancient tomb was suppressed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that people can't lift the sealing stone, only to see half a roll of bamboo slips left outside, Zhu Qi had to cut the rope and take it away, in the industry at that time, Zhu Qi is the weather vane, where he goes, it indicates that there must be a big tomb.

In order to find the whereabouts of the tomb of the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu, Zhu Qi stayed in the Shangcunling area for too long, and the peers in the circle also heard the wind, Zhu Qi knew in his heart that the ancient tombs here would not be discovered in a long time, in order to grasp the situation of the unearthed cultural relics in these tombs, he must not let the tomb robbers touch their fingers, so he pushed the boat down the river and asked Ying Chengyuan to reveal the news to Tian Wanqing.

"The other half of the bamboo slip, Regret Yuan has already told you." Tian Wanqing smiled bitterly.

"As recorded in the Bamboo Book Chronicle, Jiulong Cheng Ruizun should really hide the secret of immortality, but unfortunately the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu is incomprehensible, and he thinks that he is delusional to eat jade and become an immortal."

Zhu Qi pointed to the bamboo slips on the table, and told them that the records on it were very clear, and we hurriedly surrounded them, and the words on the bamboo slips described in detail the origin of Cheng Ruizun of Jiulong, as well as the secrets of the Kingdom of Yu that archaeologists have not been able to know so far.

Duke Yu conquered Rong Di and got the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun, but also learned about the legend of this artifact, the jade pig dragon on it has the ability to pass the gods, if you know the way to live forever, the Duke of Yu will bring the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun back, in order to uncover the secret of eternal life, all day long the abolition of the government superstitious ghosts and gods into the wind.

In order to crack the mystery in the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun as soon as possible, the Duke of Yu summoned the ministers to brainstorm, immortality is everyone's dream of a beautiful thing, the doctor secretly imitated one, and finally buried it with the funeral goods.

"We already know these things, and it seems that this half-roll bamboo slip does not have the clues we want." Xue Xinrou said with some disappointment after reading it.

"On the contrary, this half-roll of bamboo slips should reveal the whereabouts of the real Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun." Zhu Qi took a puff of cigarette and said unhurriedly.

"Is there one?" Ye Zhiqiu took the bamboo slip from my hand and re-read it carefully, his expression was still very confused. "No, these records at most explain the origin of Cheng Ruizun of Jiulong, and do not mention the whereabouts of this artifact."

"I said that the only possibility for the whereabouts of Cheng Ruizun in Jiulong should be in the mausoleum of the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu, I have been looking for this place for most of my life, and I originally planned to give up." Zhu Qi replied casually.

"Seventh Uncle, could it be that you have found the monarch's mausoleum?" Tian Wanqing was taken aback.

"If you really find me, you need to run here to grind with you." Zhu Qi shook his head and replied. "In the Western Zhou Dynasty burial system, the vassal states mostly use group burials, although there are nobles and commoners, but the location of the tombs are all together, but only the ancient tombs of the Kingdom of Yu are different, I can never find the tomb of the monarch, which shows that the location of the mausoleum was deliberately not found when the Duke of Yu was buried."

"Seventh Master, didn't you just say that the whereabouts of the tomb of the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu are in the bamboo slips?" Tian Ji asked.

Zhu Qi's fingers moved to the bamboo slips, and we looked over, and the line of text was very short.

The public collapsed, the river was buried, and the venerable vessel was buried without a trace, and it was recast again......

"This sentence is very clear, the venerable vessel refers to the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun, the whereabouts of the most burial goods are unknown, and the doctor recast the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun according to the original artifact, which is the one found in the ancient tomb later." Zhu Qi's fingers moved forward and dotted on the text. "The key lies in the first two sentences, the collapse of the Duke of Yu, which means that the monarch died and was buried in the river."

"The river? Could it be a water burial? "The field chicken was taken aback." Then this matter can end here, this is thousands of years ago, where to find the water burial? ”

"But in the Western Zhou Dynasty burial system, the vassal states did not have the custom of water burial, especially in the Central Plains, this way of burial is unheard of, you must know that it has always been important to pay attention to entering the soil for peace, not to mention that it is still the king of a country, how can it be so hasty to bury with water?" Ye Zhiqiu frowned.

"This problem has puzzled me for most of my life, as for the possibility of water burial, it can be completely ruled out, first of all, it does not conform to the rules, I have never heard of a monarch who will use water burial, and then water burial is too public." Zhu Qi withdrew his hand and said steadily.

"Doesn't river mean river, is there any other explanation?" Xue Xinrou was also at a loss.

"I've speculated for a long time that the river should be a place name." Zhu Qi said.

Tian Wanqing was silent for a moment, and hurriedly asked Ying Chengyuan to find a map, which was a map of the territory of various vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"If the river is a place name, the place should be in this red circle anyway."

"Why?" Gong Jue asked.

"At that time, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which belonged to the autumn of the troubled times, and how could the dignified monarch be buried in the territory of other countries after his death, so it can be seen that the place of Heshui should be within the territory of the Kingdom of Qiu." I explained it to her.

"Isn't that simple, if you find the river, you won't be able to find the king's mausoleum." Tian Ji said happily.

"It's really that simple, your seventh master won't be here now." Ying Qiyuan looked at Zhu Qi.

"I've searched for all the places I should be looking for, and I can say that I've explored many times any place that might be a tomb, but the strange thing is that I can't find the tomb of the monarch in the territory of the kingdom of Qiu." Zhu Qi sighed.

"River ......," Tian Wanqing looked at the map intently. I have a good understanding of the history of the Kingdom of Qiu, but in all the documents and ancient books, there is never any mention of the place name of the river in the territory of the Kingdom of Qiu. ”

Zhu Qi took out another thing from his body, it was a well-preserved silk cloth, carefully spread it on the table, and told him that this silk cloth was brought out of the doctor's tomb with the bamboo slips.

The silk cloth is also a map, but it is a more detailed and complete map of the territory of the kingdom, a city and a pond and even every pass are marked in great detail, and the names of places are written in detail.

"This silk cloth and bamboo slips are together, I thought it should have a very important role, so I took it away, but I didn't see the clue after pondering for decades." Zhu Qi explained.

Our eyes were all fixed on it, and although the silk cloth was old, the map that could be drawn was much the same as that of today's maps, and even though the ground was marked in detail, there was still no place for the river.

"Why do you want to leave a map of the Kingdom of Yu in the tomb?" The palace lord muttered to himself, comparing the two maps back and forth. "I don't see any difference."

"Yes, there are still differences." Tian Ji said.

"What's different?" We asked in unison.

"You see, there was a road on the map, but there is no road on the map." Tian Ji said somewhere on both maps.

It's really like Tian Ji said, there is no road on the map now, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly asked: "Aunt Tian, you know the history of the Kingdom of Yu best, what was this disappearing road originally used for?" ”

Tian Wanqing compared the two maps for a long time, shook her head and replied, "This is not the road. ”

"What's that?"

"This is the river, it is not on the map now, presumably it is broken."

"Broken river ......" I stood up suddenly, looked at the map in shock, and searched the source of this broken river with my finger on it, and was shocked when I saw the text written at the source. River water! The river is not a place name! ”

"Not a place name?" Zhu Qi hurriedly took off the cigarette stick at the corner of his mouth. "What do you think the river refers to?"

"The river refers to the name of the river, and it is a river that we all know." I replied excitedly.

"There is a river called river water?!" Tian Ji scratched his head.

"The river flows out of the northeast corner, in order to go to its north, and the southwest enters the Bohai Sea, and goes overseas, that is, from the west to the north, into the stone mountain led by Yu......" Ye Zhiqiu next to him suddenly realized and said.

Zhu Qiyi was stunned and slowly stood up, and was shocked and silent for a long time: "You, you mean that the river refers to the Yellow River!" ”

The Yellow River was called the river water in the Spring and Autumn Period, this name first appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there is a clear description in the later literature, the four great rivers of ancient China that have their own sources and flow into the sea alone are Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji are called the Four Evils.

The source of China's rivers is hundreds, and the river is the sect......

The Yellow River is a river in the four defilements, and the river refers to the water of the Yellow River.

"The meaning of the two sentences of the collapse of the prince and the burial of the river means that after the death of the monarch of the kingdom of Qiu, he was buried somewhere along the Yellow River." Ye Zhiqiu said excitedly and loudly.

"Then it's even more troublesome!" Tian Wanqing was not only not happy, but her face became more solemn.

"Why?" Gong Jue asked.

"If the Sanmenxia Dam had not been built, it would have taken a lot of time to explore along the Yellow River in the territory of the country, but at least there was hope, but now this area has been completely submerged, and if the tomb of the monarch of the country of Qiu is along the river, there is no chance to find it again."

"Wanqing, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, the Yellow River began to be serious during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if the mausoleum is built by the river, once the Yellow River floods, the mausoleum will inevitably be submerged, and the monarch of the Kingdom of Yu cannot have thought of this."

"Of course Duke Yu thought of it, but in order not to let his mausoleum be discovered, this person did the opposite, our previous speculation was wrong, the tomb of the monarch is not near the river." I looked back and forth at the two maps on the table and smiled faintly. "I know where the king's tomb is."
