Chapter Eighty-Six: Meierdongqu, the Fourth Great River

At this moment, Gao Chao was also looking at Jiang Ji, he saw a line that Jiang Ji was touching, like a river, but there were four such lines on the entire map, which made me Gao Chao a little overwhelmed, so I couldn't help but shake my head, staring at the map and pursing my lips.

Wang Lianba observed the words and expressions on the side, noticed the change in Gao Chao's expression, and asked Gao Chao: "Master Gao, if you want to see something, just say it, we are all our own people, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, why don't you take the lead, how about talking about it first?" ”

In fact, Gao Chao is not unfamiliar with this kind of topographic map, just because Gao Chao has been a soldier in the army for two years, of course, he can understand most of the topographic maps, but this topographic map is decrypted from the bronze drum after all, so although Gao Chao has some ideas at this moment, he is not sure whether it is what he thinks.

However, although Gao Chao was a little embarrassed, he still nodded and said: "Since the eighth master has said so, then I will first talk about my opinion, and everyone will discuss it together." ”

Wang Lianba nodded hurriedly and said the word "please".

Gao Chao then looked at the map and said: "There are several very obvious features on this map, you see, up the north and down the south, there are obviously four lines that are roughly north-south on this map are very conspicuous, I think this is similar to the distribution of rivers in northwest Yunnan and Yunnan now, but there is a problem here, because everyone knows you, there are three almost parallel rivers in northwest Yunnan, all of which run north-south, they are Jinsha River, Lancang River, and Nu River from east to west, and these three rivers are Yunling, Nushan, The three major mountain ranges of Gaoligong Mountain are sandwiched, so if it looks on the map, this feature will be very obvious, but now on this topographic map in our hands, there are four such lines, this is a bit contradictory, is it a bit contradictory, is it that in the Yin Shang era where the bronze drum is located, there are four big rivers in the northwest of Yunnan? ”

As soon as Gao Chao's question came out, everyone around him suddenly scratched their heads, but the fat man on the side joined in the excitement and said: "This is not possible, in the past thousands of years, the Yellow River has not been diverted many times, if it is said that in the Yin Shang era, there are four big rivers here It may not be impossible." ”

Hearing what the fat man said, Lao Lai also touched his chin and said: "What the fat man said also makes sense, but the problem is that if there is an extra river here, where is this extra river?" ”

The fat man glanced at Lao Lai and said disdainfully: "Where is the matter with us?" What we are looking for is Yinshan, not the shadowless river. ”

Lao Lai glanced at the fat man, sighed and stopped talking, Gao Chao couldn't stand it on the side, so he hurriedly said: "Fatty, don't you see that there is a sign on this topographic map?" ”

The fat man was stunned and said, "What sign?" Where? ”

Gao Chao was helpless, and showed the fat man with his finger, it turned out that on the topographic map, between the two westernmost rivers, there was a sign that was not particularly obvious.

The fat man looked at the sign and muttered, "There's really something painted here, what is this?" What does it have to do with the vanishing river? ”

Gao Chao helplessly explained: "Of course it has a relationship, first of all, we have all seen this sign, that is, the black bird on the mural, that is, the totem worshiped in the Yin Shang period - the Nine Heavens Xuanniao, and there is this Xuanniao logo on this topographic map, which means that the location of the sign is likely to refer to the location of Yinshan, you see, the location of this Yinshan Mountain is between the two westernmost rivers, in other words, if we can determine which two of the two rivers on the topographic map are, then we can already determine, The basic location where Yinshan is located. ”

Gao Chao's explanation was very detailed, and the fat man nodded again and again, as if he finally understood, and said: "I see, that is to say, because there is now one more river on the topographic map, then we can't be sure, whether the two westernmost rivers are the current Lancang River and the Nu River?" ”

Gao Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "You have finally opened your mind." ”

Everyone around also nodded, this is indeed the case, now on the topographic map, the sign of the Nine Heavens Xuanniao is between the two leftmost of the four rivers, and the two rivers on the far left, if you look at the actual situation now, should be the well-known Lancang River and the Nu River, but since there is one more river on the topographic map, it is completely difficult to say, because the extra river may be in any position, so there is no way to determine where the Nine Heavens Xuanniao logo is located.

This question is indeed very tricky, even Wang Lianba, who has always been full of confidence, can't help but be a little depressed at the moment, he touched his chin and shook his head, but he really couldn't think of where the extra river came from.

Just when everyone was at a loss, one person suddenly said: "Meierdongqu." ”

The voice was very small, as if he was talking to himself, but everyone around must have heard it, but when he said this, it was with a very strong Kangzang accent, so even if everyone heard it, they didn't hear what he said.

The person who spoke was the one who was touching the westernmost river on the topographic map with his hand at this moment, Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji's words, only one person understood, that is, Lao Lai, who had been in Bingzhongluo for more than ten years, was stunned for a moment at this moment, and said something to Jiang Ji in Tibetan, and then Jiang Ji looked up at Lao Lai and nodded.

Everyone looked stupid, because no one knew what they said, and then the fat man couldn't help but say, "Lai, what are you two talking about?" Why do you still talk about birds? I'm a fat man who doesn't read much, so you don't need a clean! ”

When the fat man spoke, it could be regarded as representing the mood of other people now, so Lao Lai quickly nodded and smiled, and explained to everyone: "Jiang Ji said that the westernmost river on the topographic map is Mei'er Dongqu, that is, the Dulong River. ”

"Dulongjiang?" Wang Lianba on the side was a little puzzled, and then said: "Lao Lai, you should also be familiar with the Dulong River, that river is short and small, how can it be painted on it?" ”

In fact, Wang Lianba is right, the Dulong River, known as Meierdongqu in Tibetan, originates in the Ranmori Mountain in Tibet, flows south into the canyon area between Danglika Mountain and Gaoligong Mountain, and then enters Myanmar, the whole field is only 250 kilometers in total, which is definitely not a big river.

The four rivers drawn on the topographic map, although the lines are not accurate, can only play a role in identification, but judging from the scale of that line, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that it will be the Dulong River.

That's why Wang Lianba felt puzzled and questioned, and Lao Lai actually had some doubts in his heart at this moment, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Jiang Ji who put forward this point of view.

At this moment, everyone's eyes also looked at Jiang Ji, Gao Chao looked at Jiang Ji, and was thinking about the same question, in fact, he really didn't know much about Dulongjiang, after all, Dulongjiang rarely appeared in the eyes of the world, this is a rather mysterious river.

And Jiang Ji at this moment, seeing that everyone was looking at him with suspicion, but he didn't seem to care, he said to Wang Lianba in very stiff Mandarin: "Meier Dongqu, a long, long time ago, a big river, a big river like that song, this ...... Merdongqu ......"

Fearing that others would not understand what he was saying, he used his finger to draw his finger on the topographic map along the westernmost line, and then said something to Lao Lai in Post-Tibetan, and motioned for Lao Lai to translate his words to Wang Lianpa.

Lao Lai listened carefully, then nodded, and then said to Wang Lianba: "Jiang Ji said that he once knew a woman from the Dulong clan, and that woman told him a legend that the Dulong River a long time ago used to be as long and wide as Naqu, that is, the Nu River, but then a dragon came from the mountain and drank all the river water, so the Dulong River became what it is now." ”

As Lao Lai spoke, Jiang Ji was listening very seriously, then nodded vigorously, and said in very broken Mandarin: "That's it, Dalong...... Xuanniao...... Bang! As Jiang Ji spoke, he raised his two hands, he meant that one hand represented the big dragon and the other hand represented the Xuanniao, and then he slapped it hard, and at the same time shouted a "bang" in his mouth.

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand, Gao Chao was on the side, nodded and said: "You mean, a long time ago, there was a war between the legendary Great Dragon and Xuanniao, and then everything changed, and even a big river almost disappeared?" ”
