Chapter 403: Legend of the Heavenly Wolf Country
Professor Dong couldn't help but be a little excited: "If that is really a large piece of soul stone, this is a heavy discovery. Judging from its size alone, it is almost comparable to the soul stone that built Shao Yuanjie's coffin. ”
After listening to what Professor Dong said, I had to feel any surprises in my heart, but had an ominous premonition, frowned and said: "It is said that the soul stone is an evil stone from the hell realm, and the so-called strong magnetic field is actually a strong yin and evil aura. ”
Hearing me say this, Professor Dong suddenly seemed to think of something, patted his head and said, "That's right! I almost forgot, but I have to tell you something, we also found a strange corpse there, with a body skeleton that looked a bit like a human, but a skull that looked like a wolf's head, and it was much larger than a normal person's. At first, we thought it was made of a patchwork, but then we found out that the skull and the body skeleton were indeed a whole, and we didn't know what it was, so could it be a monster from the hell realm? ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "Could it be the corpses of man, wolf, and beast!?" ”
"Man-wolf-beast?" Professor Dong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What is a man, wolf, and beast?" ”
"The human wolf beast is said to be a monster from the hell realm, which is not only fast and powerful, but also very fierce and aggressive. As for the appearance, it's similar to the werewolf in the movie. ”
"There are still such monsters in the Hell Realm?" Professor Dong was a little surprised.
The cheap guy took over and said, "Of course there is, last time there was a thing that broke into our house and almost killed a few of us, but fortunately my brother was crazy and ran away." ”
Professor Dong couldn't help but be surprised: "What!? This monster is still here!? ”
The cheap raised his finger and pointed to the position where Dong Xiaodan was standing, and said: "At that time, that human wolf beast was standing where my sister-in-law was standing now, staring at me with a pair of blood-red eyes, grinning his teeth, as if he was going to eat me alive at any time, and I felt afraid when I thought about it." ”
When Dong Xiaodan heard this, he immediately subconsciously dodged to the side, as if he was afraid that another human wolf beast would emerge from under the floor.
"How did this thing come to you all of a sudden?" Professor Dong asked puzzled.
I replied, "It was brought by the people of the cult, and the humans, wolves, beasts, and owls are all evil monsters from the hell realm, and the people of the cult specialize in using these powerful monsters against their enemies. ”
Professor Dong pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Hearing you say this, I think of a legend. ”
"What legend?" I hurriedly asked.
"In the area of Lop Nur in the ancient Western Regions, there is a legend about the wolf country, it is said that the soldiers of the wolf country are all monsters with wolf heads, the battle is very fierce, almost invincible, the ancient Xiongnu, Xianbei and other nomads in the Western Regions, there are records about fighting with the wolf country. For a long time, historians believed that the so-called wolf-headed human body was actually just a group of soldiers wearing wolf-headed helmets. But now it seems that the soldiers of this Heavenly Wolf Country are actually human wolf beasts? ”
After listening to what Professor Dong said, the cheap on the side was shocked and said, "Damn!" This human wolf beast is an evil monster from the hell realm, if the soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf Country are really human wolf beasts, then doesn't it mean that there was once an army controlled by evil demons!? ”
"Don't say it, according to the records, the soldiers of this Heavenly Wolf Country are indeed very evil, everywhere they go, they are bloody killings, and the methods are very cruel, and they never leave any living mouth, so at that time in the Western Regions, it was almost about wolf color change."
"Then why did the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom disappear later?" I asked.
Professor Dong replied: "This has always been a mystery in the field of historiography, and around 1100 A.D., there was no record of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom, as if the world had suddenly evaporated. ”
"Evaporation from the world? What's the situation!? "I was a little surprised.
Professor Dong said: "Some historians believe that the so-called wolf country is actually just a nomadic tribe with wolves as totems and wolf heads printed on their banners. ”
"Genghis Khan can conquer an army composed of man, wolves and beasts, and this Mongolian iron cavalry is too powerful."
Professor Dong said: "In fact, this inference is not completely unfounded, because the time of the disappearance of the wolf kingdom coincides with the rise of Genghis Khan, and there is a wolf cavalry under the command of Genghis Khan, which fights with a wolf's head helmet, which makes the enemy fearful." Therefore, some historians believe that Genghis Khan annexed the Celestial Wolf Kingdom. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be startled: "Damn! Could it be that Genghis Khan relied on man, wolves and beasts to conquer the world!? ”
Professor Dong waved his hand hurriedly and said, "No! No! That's not what I meant! If Genghis Khan really used man, wolves and beasts to conquer the world, it is impossible that there is no corresponding record in the historical materials. Speaking of this, he changed his words again and said: "However, if the soldiers of the Sirius Kingdom are really human wolf beasts, maybe Genghis Khan once came into contact with human wolf beasts and was inspired by this, so as to establish a wolf cavalry wearing wolf head helmets. ”
"In other words, it is possible that Genghis Khan once went to the Land of Celestial Wolves and encountered human wolf beasts?"
Professor Dong nodded: "I don't rule out this possibility, Genghis Khan fled everywhere when he was young, and he also left footprints in the area of Lop Nur, of course, Lop Nur was still a country at that time. ”
I frowned and said, "But the human wolf beast is extremely ferocious, if Genghis Khan really entered the territory of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom when he was fleeing, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave, right?" ”
"We don't know what happened at that time, if we want to figure it out, unless we find the ruins of this Heavenly Wolf Country."
As soon as Professor Dong's words fell, the cheap said on the side: "Since this Heavenly Wolf Country was founded by demons, what is there to find the ruins!" Maybe there's something evil going on in that place. ”
Professor Dong smiled and said, "Hehe, if you can really find the ruins of this Heavenly Wolf Country, you will get a lot of money." ”
Cheap Cheap's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there is a treasure in that place?" ”
"According to historical records, the army of the wolf country at that time burned and looted everywhere, and accumulated a lot of wealth in hundreds of years, and there were wild historical records, in the area of Lop Nur, a dungeon buried under the yellow sand was found, in this dungeon, not only piled up like a hill of gold, but also countless kinds of gems, some people think that this dungeon is very likely to be the ruins of the wolf country."
"What...... What the! As...... A hill of gold......!? The cheap was a little speechless with excitement.
But I didn't believe much of this statement, and said disapprerovingly: "I think this should be a rumor!" ”
Professor Dong had a surprised look on his face, and he asked me, "Why do you think it's a rumor?" ”
I replied, "Since the total amount of gold in the world is only enough to fill two standard swimming pools, how can there be a mountain of gold!" In fact, all over the world, there are legends about the Golden City, but in the end they were all confirmed to be just rumors, and even in the biography written by Marco Polo, it is said that the palace of the Yuan Emperor's capital was made of gold at that time. But that's not the case at all. So in my opinion, maybe there really is such a dungeon, but it is impossible to have any gold and silver seas. ”
Professor Dong smiled and said: "Hehe, your analysis is not unreasonable, but in Chinese history, there has indeed been a mystery of the disappearance of a huge amount of gold. ”
I was slightly stunned: "There is still such a thing!?" ”
Professor Dong nodded and continued: "According to historical records, during the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty in China, gold was one of the main circulating currencies at that time, and the rewards and gifts were in the tens of millions. ”
"And where is all the gold?" Cheap hurriedly asked.
Professor Dong replied: "At present, there are several mainstream theories in the historical circles, one of which is that some people believe that gold is used for Buddhist purposes. Buddhism was introduced into China in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when it was used to paint the Buddha with gold and write the golden scriptures, which consumed a lot of gold, and this consumption is different from the creation of gold utensils, which cannot be recycled, so the gold is exhausted. Second, some people believe that it was caused by the surplus of foreign trade in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the rebellion of Wang Mang, in order to consolidate the frontier, the imperial court rewarded the tribes of the Western Regions on the one hand, and increased foreign trade on the other hand, resulting in a large export of gold. Third, there is the belief that a large amount of gold is buried in the ground. Mr. Tang Renwu clearly pointed out in the article "The Mystery of the Disappearance of the Huge Gold in the Western Han Dynasty" that the huge amount of gold in the Western Han Dynasty suddenly withdrew from the circulation field and disappeared after entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the only answer is that part of the gold was buried or left behind as a variety of gold objects, and the other part was buried in the form of gold coins with wealthy merchants and officials at all levels. ”
"What do you think, Uncle Dong?"
Professor Dong smiled and said, "Hehe, I haven't studied much about this matter, but if I have to express my opinion, I think it should be influenced by the combination of the above three reasons." In any case, one thing is for sure. That is, in ancient China, there was indeed a large amount of gold, and gold was also exported to the Western Regions in large quantities. ”
"According to you, it's really possible that there is a hill of gold in that dungeon!?"
"Hehe, anything is possible!"
