Chapter 432: A Special Kind of
While we were pondering and discussing these questions, Hongmei revealed some even more astonishing information in the stone inscriptions: that Lu Sang, who used this well-shaped canyon as a stronghold, resisted the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the people of the Qin Dynasty knew the famous Lu Sang, and called him the "ghost king general", and some people even said that Lu San was half human and half ghost, and it was the soul of a monarch of Qi State, attached to a warrior.
Every time Qin Shi Huang purged and suppressed, it ended in failure, and he also suffered serious losses in his troops, and the Qin army gradually discovered that this was actually the nest of "ghost soldiers".
Although they burned so many "ghost soldiers" in the canyon, there are more "ghost soldiers" here, and because the mountains and forests in this area are high and dense, no matter how many troops can't use it, plus this kind of well-shaped canyon is extremely weird, ordinary people can't come in at all, let alone attack, they can only watch Lu Sang, and they are at ease in this well-shaped canyon.
Fighting these "ghost soldiers" in the mountains is almost the same as sending them to death for the Qin soldiers, and sometimes one "ghost soldier" can kill thousands of Qin soldiers.
Qin Shi Huang was angry and afraid, and he vented this anger on his subordinates - many generals who led troops to clean up Lu Sang. But all this to no avail, this area became an area that Qin Shi Huang could not fully control.
Lüsang, on the other hand, used this well-shaped canyon as a stronghold, often with "ghost soldiers", haunted the surrounding area, and also actually controlled all the cities in the mountains, established luxurious mansions there, married many local women, gave birth to thousands of children, and became a prince of the divided side, although the territory of this area was not large.
The troops of the Qin Dynasty were not opponents at all, and every time they cleared and suppressed, they suffered huge losses, but they had no effect, and they had to change their attack to defense, only around this mountain, stationed a lot of troops, and strictly prevented Lu Sang from expanding beyond the mountain, and the city in this mountain was left alone.
Who would have thought that in the powerful Great Qin Empire, there would be such a territory, but Qin Shi Huang could not fully control it.
In the area controlled by Lusang, Lusan generally only appeared at night, when the mansion in the city appeared, and returned to this well-shaped canyon during the day.
And every time he appeared in the city at night, he was accompanied by "ghost soldiers", and even the "sliding pole" that Lu Sang sat on - wearing two bamboo poles on a chair and carrying it by four or two people, similar to a simple sedan chair - was carried by "ghost soldiers", and Lu Sang did not trust normal human beings very much, he was most afraid of assassins sent by the Qin Dynasty to assassinate him, so his most trusted and personal guards were all this kind of "ghost soldiers".
However, Lu Sang likes women very much, as long as the woman he fancies, he will try his best to get his mansion and will give a lot of money.
The people living on the territory of Lusang do not have to serve labor, let alone pay taxes, therefore, life is relatively easy, while the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Qin Dynasty are very heavy, and all year round, there are all kinds of labor, many of the surrounding people can't bear it, so they secretly run to the territory of Lusang, which also makes the population in the mountains increase a lot.
Lu Sang has also become the "ghost king" in this area, and the common people believe that Lu Sang is by no means an ordinary human being, but a "ghost general" with great powers, and many people respect and fear him, and even offer his statues at home.
Hongmei said this information, we were a little dumbfounded, we didn't expect this kind of thing, but we have never heard of it before, and in the official history, this event has not been recorded, it is really amazing. I didn't expect such a strange character to appear here.
If it is really as written in the stone inscriptions, that Lu Sang really had thousands of children, then will there be many descendants of Lu Sang in our area?
What's even more strange is that, judging from all kinds of signs, this Lu Sang itself is a big mystery - is he a human being? What did he do to get these amphibians to obey his commands? Could it be that he is the offspring of an amphibian and a human hybrid, so is his appearance different from ordinary people?
None of these are written in the stone inscriptions. This is also understandable, after all, this is a text written by Lu Sang himself, not a third party, so there are still considerable doubts about whether the various events described in it are consistent with reality.
"So what happened? Did Lu Sang die of old age here? Or do you have to go somewhere else after carving these words? Sister Li asked curiously.
Hongmei shook her head slightly and said, "These stone inscriptions don't say anything, what is the ending of Lao Lu, you can only rely on speculation." "But what is certain is that for that Lu Sang, it seems to be a very easy thing to get in and out of this kind of canyon, how did he do it?"
In the process of Hongmei's speech, the madman Liuyi didn't say a word, and listened absentmindedly, because of these contents, he had already learned from the stone inscriptions, and waited until Hongmei finished speaking, he stroked his waist and said an inexplicable sentence leisurely: "Our life and death, I'm afraid it depends on the of the 'Monkey Eagle'." ”
His words sounded ridiculous and ridiculous, and we all thought he was joking, but looking at his serious face, it didn't look like it. Moreover, the six madmen are more serious, and they rarely ridicule or joke.
Seeing that we were all stunned, Madman Six sighed and said with a heavy face: "Actually, around us, there may already be many amphibians, who are about to move, you smell the fishy smell in the air, it should be the smell of amphibians." So why don't they come out against us? It's because there's 'Monkey Eagle' and 'Monkey Eagle'. ”
After he said this, we all have an understanding, although it sounds incredible at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense - "monkey eagle" is probably the nemesis and natural enemy of amphibians, because "monkey eagles" are specialized in eating amphibian cubs, and since they use amphibian cubs as food, then the kind of red pulled out by "monkey eagle" should be very unusual for amphibians. Just like if you feed the sheep in a pot with mutton and water with it, the sheep will not drink it, and many animals are very sensitive to the taste of their own meat.
"Xiao Li just asked about the ending of Lu Sang, do you want to know the ending of Lu Dao Lu Sang, what happened?" Crazy Six's words made all of us stunned again.
Listening to this tone, it seems that the madman six knows the ending of Lu Dao, but since it is not said in this stone inscription, how did the madman six know Lu Dao?
"Do you know the end of that Lu Sang?" Sister Li asked a little impatiently, our eyes were all on Crazy Six.
Madman Six neither nodded nor shook his head, but still said in his calm and slow tone: "Of course, as for Lu Sang's final fate, whether he died here from old age, or was killed by the Qin army, or fled elsewhere, etc., the words on the stone do not say, and there is no other record, but I can speculate, and the speculation should be eight or nine. ”
Hearing his tone so determined, we all hurriedly urged him: "Then tell me quickly, what happened to that Lu Sang?" ”
Madman Six didn't answer immediately, but knocked the boulder with his hand, then turned to us and said, "Do you think it's a stone?" ”
We were even more confused when asked, this is obviously a boulder, in order to make sure of this, everyone went to touch and knock on the stone with their hands, yes, from the texture to the weight, this is obviously a stone.
The madman shook his head and said: "This is not a stone at all, but a special substance, fermented, and refined with some stone powder, if it is an ordinary stone, the font engraved on it, after more than two thousand years of weathering and corrosion, how can it be so clear, it is just like the one that has just been carved." ”
What Madman Six said is indeed very reasonable, if it is an ordinary stone, the words engraved on it, after more than 2,000 years, will definitely not be so clear. But this does not prove that it must not be a stone, there are many kinds of stones, and it may be that this stone structure is more special.
Madman Six looked at us and didn't seem to believe in his conclusion, and smiled confidently: "You don't believe it, do you? Then come over and take a closer look, whether there is something hair-like in this stone. ”
When he said this, we hurried close to the stone and looked closely—and after such a closer look, we realized that there were many hair-like things in the stone, very much like human hair. How can so many people's hair be mixed into the stone?
If it were a naturally occurring stone, there would never be so many hair-like things. Could it really be that this is not a stone, but something artificially made, as the madman six said?
"If this stone is not a stone, then what is it made of?" The female translator stroked the stone with her hand and asked the madman six.
Hearing the female translator ask this, Madman Six replied very bluntly this time: "It's the corpse of a person." ”
The female translator said "ah", and quickly retracted the hand that was on the stone, and everyone was stunned, stunned, and didn't react for a long time.
The madman continued to explain in a calm tone: "Actually, to be precise, it is not the corpse of a person who is directly used, but the corpse of a person after fermentation. Everybody saw it, the ground here is red, do you know what's going on? I'm not a geologist, but from a purely geological point of view, I can't explain this phenomenon, but if you turn over this 'red soil' with your feet, you will find that there are hairs in this red soil, so I don't believe you can try it now. ”
We are completely confused by the madman six, and we don't know what he is trying to say, and once again we can't keep up with his train of thought, but since he said that there is hair in this "red soil", is this really the case?
We all turned it over a little with our feet, and in these grains of "red soil", we found hair!
"The 'red soil' under your feet is actually the excrement of amphibians, and this excrement is actually the excrement that amphibians pull out after eating human corpses."
We were really shocked - this kind of "red soil" is actually the that the amphibians came out after eating the corpses of people!
Maniac Six still said in a calm tone: "The meridians related to digestion of amphibians are very similar to those of tigers and leopards, so it can be seen from this that their digestion ability is extremely strong, and they can digest all the flesh and skin of people, and even bones, but for human hair, they have almost no digestion ability, so after the human corpse is digested and excreted from the amphibious body, the flesh and bones are completely gone, and only the hair remains." This kind of excrement is also very special, as soon as it comes into contact with the air, it will slowly turn into red granules, which is the 'red soil' we are stepping on now. ”
