Chapter 25: Reliefs

There are a total of six plates in the relief, each of which has a length of ten meters and a height of five meters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info can be seen, the relief was originally colored, may be too old, most of the paintings have fallen off, do not look carefully and can not see, but it does not affect our viewing.

The first relief depicts two groups of men and horses, both armed with weapons, apparently in battle, with many dead and wounded on both sides, and a large body lying in large pieces. The two groups of people are very different, they are very different, one wave of people is dressed in animal skins, they look very primitive, and their leader is the owner of the stone carving in the main hall, because he has a great axe in his hand. The other wave was clad in armor and weapons that were noticeably higher than those of the first wave, many of them were equipped with swords, and their leader was a strong man with a sword, who was fighting fiercely with the owner of the stone carving.

The second relief is not much different, and the two sides are still engaged in a fierce battle, except that the strong man with the sword prevails and cuts off the head of the owner of the stone carving. When the master's men saw that the leader had been killed, the army was in a state of confusion and fled in all directions in a panic with the rest of the men.

The third relief depicts only one side of the horse, the team led by the owner of the stone carving, who have lost the battle, and one by one they are hanging their heads and carrying the body of the statue's owner back. Strangely, however, perhaps the severed head of the owner of the stone sculpture could not be found, and his men had to carry his headless body back.

The fourth relief depicts a huge mountain, and halfway up the mountain, there is this huge cave, in which the body of the owner of the stone sculpture is placed, and there are many people worshipping in it.

The fifth relief depicts a very strange picture, the scene is the stone hall where we are now, there are many people in it, all dressed in the same way, but they are divided into two groups. One side, not knowing what kind of mistake had been made, was kneeling on the ground bound with hemp rope, and there were men, women, and children among them. On the other side, armed with weapons, one of them in the shape of a leader, was saying something to his men, and dozens of samurai were slashing and killing those who were bound.

The sixth relief depicts the palace where we are now, and the main hall is full of people, and under the leadership of their new chief, they load all the valuable things in the hall into the ox-cart and leave the main hall.

The content of the six reliefs is coherent, telling a strange thing, if I am not mistaken, the group of people depicted in the reliefs are the ancient Yi people, and their leader is the stone sculpture in the main hall today. The owner of the stone carving led his people to fight with the enemy, but he was beheaded by the enemy, and the ancient Yi people were defeated and fled.

The master's subordinates did not find his severed head in a panic, so they had to transport his headless body and bury him in a huge cave in a mountain, leading the whole clan to worship him. The new leader was furious, and he tied up the people who had brought the corpses back and their families together and carried out a brutal massacre.

After all this, the new chieftain may have been afraid that the enemy would come to his door, or perhaps for other reasons, he consulted with the people of his clan, took all the valuables with him, and chose to leave his place of residence and settle down somewhere else.

Through the relief carvings on the stone wall, it also confirmed Shunzi's guess that the owner of the stone carving was indeed a certain patriarch of the ancient Yi tribe, and his merits were very significant, and his influence in the clan was extremely high, so he also carved a stone statue after his death. But what makes people wonder is who the patriarch of the ancient Yi tribe is fighting with, and for what?

Junzi felt that such an important person should be recorded in the ancient books of their clan, but things are so abnormal, about the identity of the owner of the stone carving, and his battle of life and death, it seems that someone deliberately concealed it,

All his things are not recorded in the ancient books.

Sankra said suspiciously: "Seeing these reliefs, reminds me of the legend of the headless king, I'm afraid the legend of the headless king is fake, the reason why the ancient Yi people moved outside Heizhugou, now it seems that it may be afraid that the enemy will kill the door, and it is not caused by a thousand-year-old zombie." ”

Wu Jian made a rare speech, and he said a little gloomy: "In this way, the matter of the headless king is that someone deliberately spread rumors, and the identity of the owner of the stone carving is not mentioned in the ancient books of the ancient Yi nationality, so the purpose of the rumors is already obvious, all to hide the identity of the owner of the stone carving, but why do you have to hide this matter?" There must be something strange in it. ”

Professor Sun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The matter of the headless king may be true, you think about the master of the stone carving, isn't he a tribal king who has lost his head?" It may be that in order to cover up a big secret, the ancient Yi people just borrowed the identity of the owner of the stone carving and fabricated the rumor that the headless king was a demon, so that outsiders did not dare to enter here. ”

Tan Jia nodded, thinking that it was really the case, she said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, it seems that the migration of the ancient Yi people has an ulterior secret, and this secret is related to the identity of the owner of the stone carving. If we want to know the reason, we must first find out the identity of the owner of the stone carving, but even the ancient books of the Yi nationality have no records, and we have to find out his identity, which is somewhat unrealistic. ”

"If we want to uncover the identity of the owner of the stone carving, we may be able to find clues from his opponents." Seeing that we didn't understand, Professor Sun said: "I have carefully observed, the outfit of the group holding the sword is very familiar, if I am not mistaken, it should be the Xia Dynasty or the previous attire of the Xia Dynasty, we may be able to get the answer we want from the history of the Xia Dynasty." ”

Li Yishan shook his head and said with some discouragement: "The history of the Xia Dynasty is basically made up by later historians, and the degree of authenticity really needs to be considered, and the records in the history books are very vague, there are not a few large and small battles at all, and it may not mention the war against the ancient Yi people." ”

In fact, everyone knows that in Chinese history, there are not many records about the Xia Dynasty, and they are all added by the historians of the Han Dynasty later, and most of them are fabricated based on myths and legends, so they are not credible. The rule of the Xia Dynasty lasted for more than 800 years, but there were few things recorded in the historical records, except for a few big things, such as the war with the ancient Yi tribe, it is estimated that it has not been handed down at all.

Since this is the case, even if we turn over the history books of the Xia Dynasty, we may not be able to know the identity of the person holding the sword, let alone the owner of the stone carving.

At this time, the mark didn't know what he found, and there was a "hiss!" Hiss! He pointed to the fourth relief on the wall, and said to us in disbelief: "If you look closely at the mountain in the relief, how do I think it is very similar to the shape of the Thumb Peak?" Do you think it's the same mountain? ”

As soon as he said this, we were also curious, so we went to see the fourth relief.

The mountain in the relief is carved very abstractly, with only a rough shape, but it is very tall and steep. Carefully recalled the outline and shape of the Thumb Peak, don't really say it, the overall similarity between the two, at least 90 percent, I secretly said in my heart: Is it really the mark that the big mountain on the relief really refers to the Thumb Peak?

Biaozi patted his head and suddenly said: "I said that Thumb Peak has never buried anyone, why is it that all the anger in it is gone, and it has become a dead place." Now that I see this relief, I believe more and more in my own judgment, Thumb Peak was indeed buried in it, and my anger was lost because of this. ”

Sankra said with some puzzlement: "Didn't you say that if Thumb Peak really buried the ancestors of the ancient Yi tribe, then there will definitely be a big man who meets the fate of the hidden dragon in its descendants." But you have also inferred before that the ancient Yi people have silently appeared in Chinese history for thousands of years, not to mention princely figures, even prime ministers and other officials, how can this be explained? Don't you realize that there is a great contradiction between the two, whether your inference is correct or not? ”

"My inference will never be wrong, I think there must be another way out." Biaozi thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe the person who conforms to the life of the hidden dragon later integrated into the Han culture and became a real Han person, in that case, the matter will be very serious." Maybe a big figure in history is the person who meets the fate of the hidden dragon in the ancient Yi tribe, but his true background was deliberately concealed, and even he himself didn't know, so this person was not mentioned in history. ”

Professor Zhang nodded and said: "There is also this possibility, such as the Tang Dynasty's rebel general An Lushan, he is from an ethnic minority, if An Lushan really became the emperor at that time, and concealed his identity as an ethnic minority, after a long time, maybe no one in history will know his true background." ”

was discussing deeply, Tan Jia seemed to think of something, and said with some eagerness: "Don't discuss those irrelevant things first, think about it carefully, since we can know through these reliefs that the owner of the stone carving is buried on Thumb Peak, and the third uncle's group is not stupid, naturally we can also see some clues." If I'm not mistaken, maybe the third uncle's group did not leave Heizhugou, but went to the cave on the Thumb Peak, without further ado, whether the third uncle goes or stays, it is necessary for us to go to the Thumb Peak to see, maybe we can find out the secret of the master of the stone carving. ”
