Chapter 107: Ancient Shu Civilization

"It's kind of interesting."

A smile appeared on the stiff face of the leather-clad man. Even Brother Gua and Wong Tai Sin showed a look of joy, and their expressions made me inexplicable.

These things in front of me look like the kind of roughness that is unique to prehistoric civilizations, and they must be very valuable, and if they are not done well, they will cause a sensation throughout the country.

But the problem is that they are not greedy for money, the leather clothes are very rich, they drive a rotten pickup truck every day, and they can't see any wealth in their clothes; When Miao Miao was in school, it was not uncommon to see the rich second generation pestering her, and every time she was driven away by her, it was possible to be annoyed and rude.

I couldn't figure it out.

I couldn't figure it out, I turned my attention back to the front of me, Miao Miao said the sentence "the palace where the living live" made me feel very shocked, the underground of Hongcun was actually a huge underground palace, not a tomb as I thought before.

Only, what kind of people will live underground?

Don't you need sunlight?

"Go in and have a look."

Miao Miao greeted us and led us into the stone gate and to the mysterious underground palace inside.

"Click......"

As soon as I entered, the heavy stone door fell little by little, and it looked like it was about to close.

I was suddenly anxious, in case this place is as good as the ghost mound, then I will play Dafa, so I hurriedly said: "Can this door be opened later?" ”

"Don't worry, this is not a tomb, you can enter and exit." Miao Miao said confidently.

I breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved, and set my eyes on the huge stone human head in the middle, I don't know why this thing made me feel a little familiar, as if I had seen it in a history textbook.

The skull and face are covered with a layer of gold leaf, the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are more exaggerated, the eyeballs are prominent, the eye sockets are slightly oblique, the nose is very high, the ears are perforated, almost into a kind of square, the most characteristic is the mouth, which is a very long slit, extending from the left ear to the right ear, showing very wide but very narrow.

The simple lines outline a strange smile, which softens the face that originally felt a little hideous.

I must have seen this style of head, it must have been in a history textbook, but I couldn't remember what it was.

And when I once traveled to Yichang, I saw something like this, what is it called...... Dongba culture!

So I asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

Miao Miao smiled slightly and said, "This is a typical characteristic of the ancient Shu civilization. ”

I finally remembered this, and slapped my thigh in shock: "Sanxingdui civilization?!" ”

This is a strong stroke in history textbooks, no wonder it is always familiar.

Leather clothes said: "Sanxingdui civilization is actually a branch of the ancient Shu civilization, more than 5,000 years ago, the mysterious rise and mysterious disappearance, I didn't expect to find it here." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, five thousand years!!

God, this is clearly a prehistoric civilization, and the span of time is shocking.

After thinking about it for a while, a strong doubt arose in my heart, why did Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army break into this underground palace that spans 5,000 years?

Is it really as Miao Miao said, not just to bury the treasure of the Great West, or simply to have another purpose?

I looked at it again, and found that under the skull of the stone man, there were two rows of totem poles more than one person thick, four in each row, a total of eight, with various patterns carved on them.

Miao Miao took us over, I took a closer look, and found that the patterns on it are all scenes of the life of the ancients, they are wearing very simple animal skins, men are very strong, angry eyes, some hunting, some fishing, women are also strong, some gathering, some sewing animal skins, the lines are very rough and simple, but lifelike.

Especially that kind of serious look, it is very infectious.

In addition, there are pictures of children playing, birds and animals, and worship ceremonies.

But the only thing that puzzled me was that I didn't find anything related to the text, not even anything suspicious.

Isn't a civilization represented by the birth of writing?

The most important thing in civilization is the writing that can pass on knowledge.

Why is it that there are only engravings here, but there is no information about the text, not even the oracle bone inscriptions?

Then I looked to my feet, and on the ground was a huge gold leaf inlay pattern, and four birds-like things were flying around a moon.

The most precious cultural relic of the Sanxingdui civilization suddenly popped up in my mind: the sun god bird!

It is also similar to this diagram, except that the sun god bird is four birds flying around a sun, but here it becomes the moon.

At this time, Miao Miao suddenly said: "This is a civilization that is opposed to Sanxingdui. ”

I was stunned for a moment, vaguely guessed, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Miao Miao pointed to the inscription on the ground and said: "Sanxingdui civilization is a typical sun worship, the sun god bird is the symbol of that civilization, and here is the moon worship, you look at the picture in the middle, and the moon stone overhead, the moon is everywhere, which is obviously opposite to the sun worship." ”

The leather-clothed guest also said: "The moon is yin, and the underground is also yin, so the builder of the underground palace will build the underground palace, which is a typical Taiyin culture." ”

I don't know much about it, but it doesn't prevent me from figuring out that the sun was worshiped the most by the ancients.

The light of the sun nourishes all living beings on the surface of the earth, and human beings belong to the primate of all things.

From the pyramids of ancient Egypt to the Mayan civilization, from the Stonehenge of Athens to the jungle ruins of South Asia, every nation and civilization has more or less the worship of the sun god, and even the current Japan uses a sun flag as the national flag.

On the other hand, there is also moon worship, although the number is much smaller, but there is still no shortage of its existence; Let's not talk about other places, let's just talk about China, the Oroqen people in the north are typical moon worship. In ancient times, there was also a Nanzhao Kingdom, which was also famous, and once existed side by side with the Tang Dynasty.

According to Miao Miao, this is another moon worship civilization, or prehistoric.

……

Then they said a few more words, I raised my eyes and looked around, and I was a little anxious, we came down to find the child, the child is the most important thing that caused the trickery in Hongcun, what is not prehistoric, uncivilized, it is not too relevant.

The place is so neat that it looks unlikely that a living child could be hidden.

So I asked Miao Miao and said, "This should be the second layer, right?" How come there is no trace of a child? ”

Miao Miao shook her head after hearing this, and said: "This is still the first layer, the ghost mound is obviously a trap, it can't be counted as a part of the underground palace, it should be parallel to here, maybe it's just for another purpose......"

"What's the use?" I'm even more confused.

"Is it a prison, or a sacrificial chamber?" The leather-clad interjected.

"Sacrifice?!"

This word made my heart tremble, but when I remembered the terrifying sacrifice of the five ghosts before, it seemed that there was really a taste of sacrifice in it. I can't figure it out, Hong Qingsheng is just using it, and so is the little red coffin.

Sacrifice is a very evil ritual, and in the past, people were used for burial, strictly speaking, it was a kind of sacrifice.

"Actually, there's nothing surprising." The leather-clothed guest saw my surprise and said with a smile: "Moon worship is a typical Taiyin worship, and from a global perspective, Taiyin worship can easily evolve into a thing, and from a modern point of view, it is somewhat evil. ”

"What's that?" I asked.

"Worship ghosts!" Leather-clad polite.

"Hiss......"

I gasped, if that's the case, it can explain that the five ghosts outside are sacrificing, and that is the place where the sacrifice is made.

The dead sacrifice their souls to provide for something, and the little red coffin may be that thing, otherwise there is no need for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

I instinctively thought of resurrection, could this sacrifice be for the resurrection of something?

And that ghost word also makes my heart tremble, worship ghosts, doesn't that mean that there have been large-scale ghost worship here?

So the question is, has that ghost also disappeared like the people here? If not, Zhang Xianzhong said that he once worshipped ghosts as teachers, is that ghost a ghost here?

There is also the ghost number, the ghost it says is laughing in the world, that ghost, is it a ghost here?

Even, can the treacherous story of the entire Hong Village be associated with that ghost?

Finally, there is the ghost ray, the leather-clad man originally said that it was the pet of the ghost king, is it the same ghost again!

I can't help but chill when I think about it.

All the clues seem to be connected!
