Chapter 12 Nanzhao
Legend has it that after Qin Shi Huang unified the world, because of the size of the world, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn order to facilitate the control of the Quartet, he ordered people to set up counties in Yelang and Yunnan, during which Qin Shi Huang sent the general Chang Yu to lead the army to build an official road, which is the famous 'Five Feet Road' in history. In fact, most of the Wuchi Road opened by Chang Xiang was renovated, expanded and repaired by the servants on the Southern Silk Road.
I took a few glances at the ancient road, and I was not as emotional as Baozi. Turning his head, he found that the rolling rocks were still falling outside the cave entrance, and it lasted for about a cigarette before they slowly settled. At this time, my arm was bruised and purple from falling rocks, and I had several small bags on my head. I just didn't get hit by a big rock, otherwise it would be really difficult to die!
After the catastrophe, our team was a little dazed, and the sick beauty over there was in the corner with the scareless bewitching woman. I saw that she was fine, but I breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, we looked at this dark ancient road and were silent, and most of the people in the group were pale and afraid for a while.
At this time, Old Man Zheng's subordinate 'Brother Longwen' suddenly stood up, patted the ashes on his body, walked towards the monk with a pale face, and said as he walked: "You kid ordered the detonator, right?" Come on! If you want to bring seeds, let's go heads-up! ”
My face suddenly changed, and I said in my heart that this guy is really fierce enough. Not to be outdone, the monk wiped off the dirt ash on his purple bald head, and as soon as he took off his military coat, he threw down the sunglasses on his face and went up. Picking his triangular eyes, he said: "Lao Tzu set off the cannon for everyone, you see who has an accident again?" Without me, everyone would be frozen on the cliff and waiting to die. It's not that I'm afraid of you by saying so much nonsense! Go heads-up! Come on! ”
I jumped up and went to pull the monk, but this guy couldn't pull like a bull. Seeing that the two of them were about to get up.
"Stop......" Old Man Zheng said this, I looked at him and secretly said that this old man is so bold, and he is still interested in smoking at this time! I saw him spit out a smoke ring, which filled this dim space, changing its form. Only then did he say coldly: "Stop!" Wang boy, the old man doesn't blame you anymore. At the moment, I am afraid that there will be no entry and no exit in this place! Save some effort to deal with the aftermath. ”
Hearing the old man say this, my face changed suddenly, does the old man know this place? The dragon brother glanced at the monk coldly, and then turned his head back to the old man's side. The monk also spat while scolding.
The two of them almost fought, and the bun on the other end didn't seem to know at all. The halo shone on the stone road in front of him, and Baozi admired himself while saying to himself: "This kind of five-foot road is also preserved in modern China, in Yibin, Sichuan and Zhaotong, Yunnan, and other places, and like this kind of five-foot road in the cliff is found in Doushaguan, Yanjin County, China. Although this ancient road has gone through a long time, there are still a few ancient roads that are still walked on by people. The most well-preserved one belongs to the area of Wude Township at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, which is about 200 meters long and about two meters wide and is about two meters wide The typical Qin "Five Feet Road" remains. ”
"Shameless?" The monk just wanted to talk to me about his opinion. This kid is foul language when he opens his mouth, and he is messing around, and he really doesn't have time to listen to him fart right now. I glared at him fiercely from the side, and he suddenly shut up, touched his head and muttered.
Listening to Baozi's self-talk, my mind was pulled back to the ancient road. The heart said that although it was called 'five-foot road', the five feet of the ancients were not short, and because of the steep mountain walls here, it was not easy to dig through in ancient times. What's more, the ancient civilization must have no explosives, but I heard Baozi say that the ancient people built this kind of ancient road by spreading dry firewood on the rocks and burning it violently, even for a few days and nights, and then pouring cold water to make it burst, so as to chisel through.
Until now, the Dragon Palace, Guiru, and this unknown cave are all related to the Qin State. And the first two are the two major overseas immortal mountains described by Xu Fu, I wonder if Aunt Bing brought us here this time is also related to the previous two places?
The entire team suffered minor injuries and only rested for half an hour before continuing deeper into the cave. But the more you go inside, the more you find that the surrounding space is gradually increasing, as if the layout on both sides of the five-foot road is also beginning to become more and more atmospheric. Gradually, as the area in front expanded, murals began to appear on the walls of the cave, and after about two hundred meters, these murals began to increase dramatically. The picture is basically of the Buddhist school, what Guanyin, Buddha, and even the flying mural in the ruins!
We all stopped and watched in amazement, while Bao Xueba explained on the side. Such a strange situation reminds me of the fact that I am traveling in Yunnan, and Baozi is a competent tour guide! According to Baozi, as early as 4,000 years ago, the ancestors of Dali people multiplied in Cangshan and Erhai for a generation, and established ethnic local governments in the Tang and Song dynasties, called 'Nanzhao' and 'Dali', making Dali once become the center of cultural exchanges between the Central Plains and Yunnan ethnic cultures and Southeast Asian countries. At that time, Dali was located in the Asian culture and the South Silk Road on the traffic fortress, but also the main post station of the ancient tea horse road, because the merchants have always gathered here, the religious culture is uneven, the Buddhist culture began to spread here, there are many schools of Buddhism in the south, the north and Tibet, and then the birth of Yunnan's unique "Yunnan secret" - Azhalijiao. Therefore, Dali has been known as the "wonderful fragrance Buddha country" since ancient times!
Along the way, the buns can be said to have really covered up the limelight of Uncle Yan Tai, the real tour guide. The old man felt a little unbearable on his face, and began to explain to us: "In the boundary between Sichuan and Yunnan, there are also some words on the stone wall on the five-foot road, according to research, it is the Tang Dynasty's "Yuan Zi Inscription Cliff Stone Carving", how can you be sure that this is not a mural in the Tang Dynasty? But from the ancient country of Dali? ”
Baozi rolled his eyes and pointed to the handwriting in the strokes and said: "Yuan Zi is a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, and his words are profound!" The county looks at the people of Runan, Chenjun! Do you know where it is? It's cash Henan Runan! Can the penmanship of the Central Plains be the same as that of the Dian region? ”
Seeing that the old man Yan Tai was deflated, I stepped forward and laughed: "Hahaha! Regardless of the Central Plains penmanship or the Yunnan penmanship, it can be engraved on the strokes and is still so good-looking, it is a good penmanship! ”
It seems that people don't care about it at all, and the monk gloated a few times on the side. Just as I was embarrassed, there was an exclamation from ahead! Since we had already gone deep into the cave, as the space became larger and larger along the way, the first few people in front of us turned on the high-light searchlights, and the light was very abundant. With the horrific screams ahead, I looked through the crowd and ahead......
At this moment, I was shaken violently, and I saw that the golden light was pressing everywhere in front of me, and a building as magnificent as the Heavenly Palace was imprinted in my eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that the majestic momentum like a mountain is overwhelming, as if there is a strong feeling of prostrate and kneeling in the dark.
I saw a valley in front of me, the terrain was quite spacious, and it was on a huge gentle slope directly in front of the valley. There is a magnificent and precipitous ancient city, which stands out from the sky. The place where the high light searchlight can not be seen sprinkled a crystal halo, the ancient city leans on the slope of the mountain as a barrier, with the mountain behind the three directions to build a few meters high city wall, this ancient city can be said to be the top of the mountain, with the mountain as the wall; With the mountain as the pool, the whole shape is wrapped by the mountain and the wall, presenting a 'concave' shaped castle. Most of the materials of the city wall are made of rammed earth, but they are mixed with rocky and sandy soil in different areas and according to different topography and soil conditions. I can't imagine what kind of manpower, material resources and what kind of magic work can this peerless ancient city need to build in this cave? A city in the mountains? This kind of terrain, with the mountain as the wall, the mountain as the moat, the mountain in the mountain, the inside is high and the outside is down, in ancient times, it was difficult to capture it!
Uncle Yan Tai was stunned by everyone's horror, he knelt on the ground with a 'poof', crawled down and threw himself to the ground, kowtowed again and again, and couldn't help muttering: "Nanzhao Ancient City...... The ancient city of Nanzhao that has disappeared into the long river of history in the legend ......"
