Chapter 61 Register
Suddenly, there was a "buzz" in my head, like falling into an ice cave, the hairs on my body stood on end, and the cold sweat on my face kept flowing down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
yes, what the hell is going on?
Looking at the torches hanging in the air in the mirror, I felt that the atmosphere had become extremely strange for a while. And this bronze mirror also seems to have suddenly added a demonic aura.
I don't have that concept in my head at all. From the beginning to the end, I always thought that the reason for this phenomenon could be a coincidence of light, or it could be a problem with the copper mirror itself. But now...
I looked down at my hands and said to myself, am I blind? Or do I not exist at all? I raised my hand and slapped myself, and the burning pain on my face convinced me that it wasn't a hallucination.
Just when I couldn't figure out anything about it, I heard the monk shouting over there: "I said Changshan, I saw you from afar looking at the mirror like a girl." In the middle of the night, you don't panic? Don't look at it, come here, I just found something interesting. You're definitely interested. ”
I took one last look into the bronze mirror, but the result was the same. I had no choice but to suppress the fear in my heart, adjusted my state slightly, and walked towards the monk with my bag on my back. At this time, the monk turned out a red sandalwood box out of nowhere, and the lock on the box had been split in half by him. And the contents of the box are now in the hands of the master.
It was a very old-looking book, and the book was very thin. There are a few big characters written in writing with a red pen, which is also Yi script.
The monk looked at my pale face and asked curiously, "Look in the mirror, why did you get this look?" See a ghost? ”
I was going to tell him what had just happened, but after thinking about it, I forgot about it. Looking at the book in my master's hand, I was curious that this thing would appear in the burial room. I asked the monk, what kind of book is this?
The monk said, "You are wrong. It's not a book, it's a record book. ”
"Register?" I muttered, "When did you change careers to become a scholar?" Do you know all the Yi texts?
The monk showed his signature smile and teased, "How is it?" Do you want to know what caused the country to disappear overnight? Do you want to know how many treasures are buried in the dungeon of King Yelang? ”
If it were in normal times, I would definitely scold him, aren't you talking nonsense? But because of the incident just now, I couldn't calm down, and I didn't have the heart to talk to him anymore.
The monk looked a little cold, so he asked himself and replied: "I know that you kid is uneducated." Master, let's popularize the contents of this record book to this illiterate brother. ”
At this time, the master had already flipped through the whole book and concluded: "According to the following opinion, this is not so much a record book of the death of the Yelang Country, but an account. Because it not only records the reasons for the destruction of the Yelang Kingdom, but also records in detail the large amount of gold and treasures that the Yelang Kingdom secretly transferred to the underground palace on the eve of the destruction of the Yelang Kingdom. ”
I have to say that if this white-eyed master is less scheming, then this person is indeed a rare talent. No wonder, the monk once said that Han Shichang must take this master with him every time he fights. With him, it is equivalent to carrying an encyclopedia with him, Feng Shui, folklore, history, language, he is proficient in almost everything.
According to the master's translation of this record book, this record book was written by a commander named "Jin Zhishi" in the Yelang Kingdom at that time. Linghou is the title of this person, and he is also a member of the royal family of Yelang.
On the sixth day of the seventh month of the year of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty and the year of peace, on the eve of the destruction of the Yelang Kingdom, he was secretly sent by the Yelang King to hide in the underground palace hidden in the depths of the mountains of Guanziling. His task was to urgently transport a batch of Yelang royal treasures and hide them in the Guanziling underground palace.
There are detailed records about these treasures in the record book, but the master did not specify them. He gave an example, in this batch of treasures alone, the total value of gold products, according to the proportion of gold exchange in that year, is almost the sum of the ten years of imperial court income during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty!
The monk and I were immediately stunned by this number. I even very much doubt that at that time, the country of Yelang was only a large country in the southwestern mountains. And the southwest region has always been synonymous with primitive and backwardness at that time, just a Yelang country, where did it get so much money?
The monk came back to his senses and was a little skeptical, so he asked him: "Master, it's not that we don't believe you, but to be honest, there are really so many?" ”
The master said: "The meaning of the two of you is understood." However, the two of them can only know one of the studies of Yelang Country, but they don't know the other. Before the country was destroyed, Yelang had more than 400 years of business accumulation. At that time, Yelang Province was not only a necessary place for trade from the south to foreign countries, but also had a close commercial relationship with the Nanyue Kingdom at that time, and even overseas Mithril once flowed into Yelang's country. And the most important and least well-known point, in addition to the extremely developed trade and trade, Yelang was once one of the largest secret gold mining sites behind the ancient Chu Kingdom. ”
"Gold mines?" The monk and I were dumbfounded, there is a gold mine in this kind of place?
"That's right. Chu used to be the hegemon of the south, but as far as I know, the Jingchu region did not produce gold, but the gold reserves of Chu were not less than those of other vassal states. This shows that the gold reserves of the Chu royal family mainly came from the vassal states around it. According to records, Yelang Kingdom was one of the largest Fang countries in the southwest region at that time. The gold obtained from the territory of Yelang accounted for the vast majority of the gold reserves of the Chu royal family. If you don't believe it, when you go out of the underground palace, you can stand on the banks of the Beipan River and the Qingshui River to take a look. The mines that were used to dig gold are still there today. ”
While the two of them were shocked, I was extremely curious about how he learned these news, so I asked him, "Master, how did you know this news?" ”
When the master heard me ask, he said: "The story of Zhuang Ji's entry into Yunnan, I believe that the two of you have more or less heard the older generation mention it, and I will not repeat it here." And from this incident, we can see some clues, General Zhuang Ji entered Yunnan, the purpose is not only to subdue the Yunnan people, he also has another consideration. ”
"Before Yelang, Lishui was also an important area for the Chu State to obtain gold. And the gold produced by Lishui, if it wants to be sent east to the territory of Chu State, it must pass through Dianchi Lake and Yelang Kingdom. When General Zhuang Ji entered the Dian region, it was already the late stage of the Chu State, and the Chu State at this time was no longer the southern overlord of the past. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of gold from the Lishui and Yelang regions to the east, the state of Chu must send an army to Dianchi to completely control the route of gold from the west to the east. ”
