Now that I know the existence of the snake man, let's discuss the image of Emperor Yan Shennong, and find that there is indeed a big problem in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The meaning of the info mark is obvious, he does not believe the arguments of those archaeologists and historians, he feels that the shape of Yandi Shennong is completely true.

But think about it, although the scientific and technological civilization of the ancients is not as developed as it is now, and people's thinking is more inclined to idealism, no matter what, they will not hang their ancestors with the image of "half man and half beast".

You know, in the minds of the ancients, man is the chief of all things, that is to say, the master of all things, and the most noble existence. This is obviously very illogical.

I looked at the gloomy mark and said in a deep voice: "You mean, the original appearance of Yandi Shennong is half-human and half-beast, and it was not mistakenly added by later generations?" ”

Biaozi nodded and said: "If there is a problem with the statue of Yandi Shennong, maybe I won't deny the theory of those archaeologists, but in fact, there are many ancient humans in this situation besides Yandi Shennong." ”

Biaozi told me for example, in addition to Yandi Shennong, some ancestors such as Chiyou (long horns on the top of the head), Cangjie (deformed four eyes), Gonggong (human head and snake body), Jumang (bird body and human face), etc., are all half-human and half-beast existences, which illustrates the problem.

I believe that the above characters are not too unfamiliar to ordinary people, and I am the same. However, I don't know much about their images, and I've only seen them on TV, of course, it is impossible to make those ancestors half-human and half-beast in the TV series. However, on the gate of the underground tombs of Guloulan, I have seen the above-mentioned half-human, half-beast figures.

I took a deep breath and said to the marker: "If everything is what we guessed, then what kind of era was the Antiquity?" I can't imagine it. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Biaozi said jokingly: "Don't think about it, humans evolved from animals, and it's also a fact that they are of the same origin as those monsters, so you just need to take an evolution lesson." ”

I can't help but wonder, who's to say it's not? Aren't humans evolved from animals? No matter how much one thinks highly of one's identity, it cannot change this fact.

After chatting for a while, when Biaozi looked at his watch, it was time for lunch, so he asked me to go to a Hunan restaurant with him to eat, saying that the craftsmanship of that restaurant was not bad, and I was satisfied with the food.

We crossed an alley and arrived on another street, when the sign suddenly stopped, and he said to me without changing his face: "Lao Yang, we are being followed." Don't look back, just go ahead. ”

I was shocked, and the first thing I thought of was that the people from the Mazi family came to assassinate me again, damn it, it's really a grievance. But looking back, it shouldn't be a killer, otherwise the mark wouldn't be so calm, I'm afraid that the first time I found the other party, I would have asked me to run for my life. That being the case, who will be the person who is following us?

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, some time ago, the scientific research team lost something, and the person who stole the thing has not been found, and I originally thought that the matter would be settled, but now it seems that the above is not reconciled, and on the surface it pretends not to be investigated, but in fact, it secretly sent someone to monitor us.

Biaozi didn't want the other party to know that we had found them, so he continued to walk forward without squinting, but the voice came: "It is estimated that the people above sent someone to monitor us for the theft of things, let's leave them alone, and go to the Hunan restaurant to eat according to the previous plan." ”

When we arrived at the restaurant mentioned in the label, we saw that there were really many customers inside, and we waited for a while to have a table. I sat down with the big scaler, took the menu, ordered a few appetizers, and sent the waiter away.

Pretending to be calm, I lit a cigarette, and I whispered to the label, "How many people are there who are following us?" "There was a lot of noise in the restaurant, and I kept my voice so low that even if the other party entered the restaurant, they couldn't hear what I was saying.

Biaozi was ostensibly looking at his phone, and secretly said to me, "There are four people in total, and now they have also entered the restaurant, and they are sitting at the fourth table to the left behind you." ”

I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, and I always wanted to look back at it before I was willing, and the label said: "Don't act rashly, it won't be fun if they find out." We just pretended not to know, finished eating, then went to massage, went to drink in the evening, and went back in the middle of the night, if we didn't tire them to death, I wouldn't be fucking surnamed Sun. ”

Biaozi and I ate for more than two hours at this meal, but halfway through, so as not to be suspected by the two of us, the four people who were following had already left. Biaozi and I looked carefully, and after the other party left the restaurant, he wandered around outside a few times, and then walked into a tea shop opposite, and sat by the window, looking at us from time to time.

After eating, we went out for a while and went to a massage parlor. After lying in it for three hours, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the alley of Lao Cai to eat a bowl of stinky tofu and went to a bar.

As soon as the front foot entered the bar, and before the butt could sit firmly, the four stalkers pretended to walk in casually. Biaozi and I almost burst out laughing, and in just a few moments, the four stalkers changed their clothes and hairstyles again, and if I'm not mistaken, they were dressed up for the third time today.

I can't help but think in my heart, if they knew their efforts and had been recognized by me and Biaozi, I don't know how they would feel, and they probably would fight with us.

When I returned to the villa, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Tan Jia had not slept yet, and was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV at the moment. Seeing the two of us coming back full of alcohol, Lao Gao, who immediately frowned, looked at her watch, and asked in a reproachful tone: "There is still half an hour, it is the next day, and you are quite punctual." ”

The sign burped and said, "If we hadn't met four mad dogs on the road and chased after the two of us, we would have come back a long time ago." Seeing that Tan Jia's face changed for a moment, Biaozi pretended to be surprised and said: "Why, those four stray dogs belong to your family, don't worry, we didn't treat them well, how can we care about dogs, you say yes!" ”

Tan Jia knew that we were referring to something else, so she simply didn't hide it, so she said: "This is the above arrangement, it has nothing to do with me, not only you, except for me and the two professors, everyone else will be monitored once they leave the villa." ”

Although I knew that this incident had nothing to do with Tan Jia, I was a little unhappy in my heart, so I had to complain to her a few words, who called her our boss? I said, "If we do this, we will lose our complete freedom, and it is better to throw us in prison, so that everyone can save trouble." ”

Tan Jia explained: "This is also something that can't be helped, if we have internal problems, it is impossible for the top to just forget it, if you don't find out the traitor for a day, the top will not stop." Also, it's better not to say anything about what you're being tracked about, otherwise you'll be startled, the purpose of doing so is already obvious, I hope you don't sabotage, otherwise it will only bring trouble to yourself. ”

I wanted to complain a few more words, but when I saw Tan Jia's innocent face, my heart softened, and I just said helplessly: "Don't worry, we won't ask for trouble, anyway, the traitor is not the two of us, what do we have to worry about." ”

After Tan Jia left, Biaozi said to me boringly: "Wash and sleep, it seems that the future will be even more difficult." ”

At noon the next day, Tan Jia summoned us to the basement for a meeting. This is our first collective meeting since the last document theft, and I don't know what the purpose of this meeting is, I think it's mostly about moles.

But to my surprise, this incident had nothing to do with the mole, but to discuss the contents of the lost document, which made us lift our spirits all at once.

Professor Sun said earnestly: "The information file has been lost, and the content in it has no value to continue to keep secret, so today I will take out those materials and analyze them with you." ”

The epitaph mentions the identity of the tomb's owner, while also recording two major events. In fact, the identity of the owner of the tomb was the first person to guess the mark, and he guessed it when he was in the tomb group, and now that he thinks about it, he was very prescient.

As the standard guessed, the underground tomb complex is where the bones of the kings of Guloulan are buried. And the wooden pagoda we opened, the name of the owner of the tomb is Shanshanjin, he is the last king of the Loulan Kingdom. Why did he become the last king, among the two major events mentioned in the epitaph, a very strange answer will be given.

The first thing mentioned in the epitaph is about the origin of the word "Shanshan". Shanshan is actually the surname of a tribe in Guloulan, and it is also the most noble surname in Guloulan, and the kings of Loulan in the past dynasties were selected from this tribe, and when it is taken to ancient China, it is equivalent to the royal family in ancient China.

The ancestors of the Shanshan tribe claimed to have come from the holy land in the west, but they all looked very strange, they were all half-human, half-beast forms, the same monster forms we saw on the tomb door. Although they are half-human, half-beast form, their combat effectiveness is very strong, which is incomparable to "human" in the true sense.

After the Shanshan tribe arrived in the desert of Xinjiang, they conquered the local aborigines by force with the advantage of their strong combat effectiveness, and soon unified the surrounding land. After unifying the surrounding areas, the Shanshan people established the first kingdom and named Shanshan according to the surname of the tribe.

After the establishment of Shanshanguo, the new king implemented benevolent governance and brought many advanced technologies into Shanshanguo, so that the people of the whole country began to move towards a new era of prosperity. It is precisely because of this that some of the aborigines who were still ready to resist finally settled down, because in their hearts, being able to eat enough and have a house to live in is the most beautiful thing, even if it is a half-human, half-beast monster that rules them, it is not a big deal.

After calming down the turmoil in the country, the king issued a very incredible order, all members of the Shanshan tribe are not allowed to intermarry within the clan, and no matter whether they marry, they can only be selected from the aborigines. But as a result, some of their descendants still remain half-human, half-beast, while others have become "humans" in the true sense of the word.

It is precisely because the Shanshan clan is not allowed to intermarry within the clan, and by the time Shanshan changed its name to Loulan, there were fewer and fewer orcs, and there were only about a hundred or so left. By the time the last king Shanshanjin was in his hands, the orcs were on the verge of extinction, and only the last dozen or so clansmen remained.

Shanshanjin saw that his people were about to be extinct, so he disobeyed the will of the ancestors of the Shanshan tribe and began to secretly implement the plan of intermarriage within the clan. But the terrible thing is that the intercourse between the half-orcs and the half-orcs will not give birth to offspring that will not live to be ten years old, like a curse, and no matter what, it will not change this.

Shanshanjin didn't know why such a thing happened, but he vaguely understood, maybe the incomprehensible order issued by the ancestor was very likely to be related to this matter. After understanding the reason, Shanshanjin was a little helpless, so he had to accept the arrangement of fate and watch his people finally go to the road of destruction.

But then, a second big thing immediately happened, and this matter was much more terrible than the demise of the Shanshan clan, which was simply a disaster for the entire Loulan Kingdom.

In the tenth year of Shanshanjin's reign, for some reason, the people of Loulan died one after another. The way they died was very strange, the whole person seemed to be dehydrated, and they would become dry corpses overnight, and the most terrible thing was that they were a family when they died, and no one was spared.

At that time, Shanshanjin thought it was a terrible contagious disease, so he ordered the wizard to find a way to drive it away. However, no one expected that no matter what method the wizard tried and what kind of elixir he offered, he still couldn't do anything about that disease, and in the end even he himself contracted that terrible disease and died.

Two years later, that terrible disease had broken out in a large area of Loulan Kingdom, and Shanshanjin also contracted that terrible disease at that time and died, becoming the last king of Loulan Kingdom.

After reading all the contents of the epitaph, everyone began to talk about it, both surprised and incredible. Unexpectedly, the mystery of Gu Loulan's disappearance has been debated for so long, and we have never been able to get a reasonable answer, but we have inadvertently learned the inside story, which is really too dramatic.

What kind of disease can turn a person into a dry corpse overnight? It's unimaginable. I thought to myself, if that terrible disease is put to the present, I guess even with today's medical level, there is no way to do it.

However, there is no doubt that the disappearance of Guloulan is not due to the desertification of the oasis, nor is it due to water problems, but because of the hopelessly contagious disease.

Seeing that we were talking about it below, Professor Sun waved his hand and said: "Shanshanjin's epitaph is of great value, it has solved the real reason for the disappearance of Gu Loulan for us, and also solved the origin of Shanshanguo. However, the epitaph in the second bronze box is more valuable for research, as it not only tells us the true origin of the Shanshan tribe, but also involves another civilization that has disappeared. ”

Seeing that we were quiet all of a sudden, Professor Sun said with some excitement: "The Shanshan people claim to come from the holy mountain in the west, but in fact, this sentence is not wrong, but the West they refer to is different from the West we understand now. The Shanshan people refer to the West in the area of Qinghai in China, and the so-called holy mountain is Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains in China. In other words, the people of the Shanshan tribe are from the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai Province. ”

Sankla obviously didn't believe it, and questioned: "The bad situation there in Guloulan is not good, those half-orcs can't live in Qinghai with fertile water and soil, and they want to go to the desert to suffer, this is really a bit unreasonable." ”

Professor Sun nodded and said: "Your analysis is very reasonable, I also thought so before, but the text experts definitely told that the Kunlun Mountain referred to by the Shanshan tribe definitely refers to the part of Qinghai Province, because in the epitaph, the Western Queen Mother Country was mentioned, and the Shanshan people came from the West Queen Mother Country." ”

The Mother Kingdom of the West? I was a little puzzled in my heart, and I couldn't help asking: "Isn't the Queen Mother of the West the wife of the Jade Emperor, the legendary Queen Mother?" How come there is still a country, isn't this a bit nonsense? ”

Professor Sun explained with a smile: "The Queen Mother of the West you know comes from folklore, in fact, the real Queen Mother of the West is indeed a person, and she is also an outstanding female tribal leader. Because this tribe is a matriarchal society and lives in the west, their monarch is called the Queen Mother of the West, and the country is naturally called the Mother of the West. ”

I also wanted to refute a few words, but the label said to me: "Lao Yang, what the professor said is the truth, the Western Queen Mother Kingdom does exist, and after confirmation by archaeologists and historians, the scope of activities of the Western Queen Mother Country is in the Qinghai area. If the Shanshan people really come from the mother country of the Western King, the so-called Kunlun Mountain must refer to the Mang Kunlun in Qinghai. However, about 4,000 years ago, the Western Queen Mother Kingdom suddenly disappeared without a trace, and its disappearance, like Guloulan, has always been an unsolvable mystery. ”

Professor Sun cast an admiring glance at Biaozi and explained: "Sun Dabiao is right, the disappearance of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom has also become a mystery, and so far, we know almost nothing except that the surname of the Western Queen Mother is Yang Hui. ”

Biaozi said seriously: "According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, a good roar, and a hoopoe with fluffy hair, to put it bluntly, she is a half-orc." If the Shanshan tribe is really a tribe of the Western Queen's Mother Country, I think it is very likely, because they are all the same, they are all half-orcs. ”

Li Yishan questioned, and he said: "That's not necessarily, it is clearly recorded in "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" that the Queen Mother of the West is an elegant beauty, and it seems that it is not as exaggerated as you described. Also, "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" also proves that the Queen Mother of the West is a goddess with a peerless appearance, and gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a peach that bears fruit for 3,000 years.
