Section 6 Western Zhou Parchment Scrolls
Soon I returned to the tribe of the Lieshan clan headquarters with the ginseng, and after handing the ginseng to the master, I said goodbye to the master to complete the task given to me by the priest!
Master was busy treating the wounded, but he didn't interrogate me more, but said that I had traveled and practiced medicine for people from other tribes.
I don't know anything about these treatments and herbal medicines!
After leaving the Ryuyama clan's main tribe, I followed the direction indicated by the priest and returned to the place where I was born, and from there continued to the west and south!
I didn't walk long before I saw a forest, surrounded by a few other small tribes of the Lieshan Clan, and then I walked west through this forest, and sure enough, a very vast plain appeared!
I didn't expect that what the priest's sister said was true, and then I started to get goosebumps again, could it be that everything she said was true?
Although I was scared, I mustered up the courage to continue west across the Great Plains, and although I was attacked by a pack of wild dogs on the way, I managed to get rid of them.
But when I entered the valley of ghosts that the priest's sister had mentioned, it was just in time for night!
I only heard the sound of the wind blowing on the mountain, as if countless ghosts were moaning in a low voice, and in the moonlight I suddenly noticed countless pairs of green eyes in the valley staring at me, as if countless undead had suddenly appeared in front ......of me.
"Stop, stop!", Wang Jiali patted the dinner table and interrupted me directly, and said very scared: "I'm scared to death, what kind of messy story are you, headless and brainless, it's really boring!"
(Back to reality, the real plot of the novel officially begins............ )
Chen Liang, who was sitting next to me, urged me to say, "Brother Xiao said, keep talking, it's so mysterious!"
"Come on!" Wang Jiali got up and picked up the rice bowl, waved her hand as she walked, and said, "You two go on, I still have class in the afternoon and go first!"
Chen Liang looked back at Wang Jiali and teased in the direction she left: "Yo, the little one was so scared that he ran away directly!"
I also got up and packed up the rice bowl, and said to Chen Liang, "I'm also leaving, and I have to go to the tutor to submit my report in the afternoon!", after saying that, I also walked to the side of the cafeteria to hand over the used utensils.
Seeing this, Chen Liang hurriedly picked up the rice bowl and followed me, and asked as he walked: "Brother Xiao, should you be the story you just said? Where did you see this, and what are the allusions?"
I pulled out two pieces of dining paper from the side, and replied as I wiped my mouth: "Oh, it's some words recorded on a parchment scroll of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this is only a part of it, and the other parts are incomplete and can't find the content!"
"Western Zhou parchment scroll?" Chen Liang threw the plate aside, lifted the frame of the glass, and asked very seriously: "Isn't the Western Zhou Dynasty all written in oracle bone inscriptions and those Zhong Ding inscriptions?
Chen Liang is obviously more proficient in the ancient cultural relics, I glanced at him, and replied coldly: "I know, how do I know, who do I ask if you ask me!"
Chen Liang said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you shouldn't have gotten this disguise from, obviously you were fooled!"
I said dismissively: "This is an overseas Chinese who just bought it from the Americans and donated it to the museum, and the museum took a photo of the parchment roll from beginning to end and brought it to us to help translate it for them! The museum has done a carbon-14 test before, which proves that this parchment roll is an item more than 3,000 years ago, and it was unearthed from an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty!"
Chen Liang was shocked after hearing this, and he kept asking behind my buttocks, showing a very strong interest in this matter!
Of course, these Western Zhou inscriptions were not inscribed on the bell ding, and this was the first time that the Western Zhou people had been found to use sheepskin to record words.
I myself was born in a rural village in Changde District, Hunan, and am now studying in the master's class of archaeology at Fudan University! Because I ignorantly chose the Department of Chinese Chinese Language and Literature in order to enter Fudan University, I didn't know what I could do after four years of undergraduate, so I had to apply for a master's degree in archaeology, but I didn't expect to be admitted!
A big man who studies liberal arts has always been looked down upon by many people, but there is no way, who made me bet with others that I must study liberal arts?
The information of this parchment scroll was sent to me by our supervisor, Dr. Zhang Wenyuan, with pictures, so that I could scrutinize and translate the text inside, and then hand it over to him as a subject for review!
Wang Jiali is my girlfriend, a very beautiful Nanjing girl, we are both in the same class as undergraduates, but she is still studying in the research laboratory of modern Chinese, and I am not in the same department!
Chen Liang is a new classmate I met after entering the graduate class, he is a graduate student in the Department of Cultural Relics and Museums, and he is in the same department as me!
I have always responded to Chen Liang's chatter with indifference, because in fact, I am not very interested in cultural relics, I only occasionally have free time to study some ancient Chinese characters, after all, I have to have a skill, otherwise I should drink the northwest wind after graduation!
I compiled the translated text into a report, which was officially printed and handed over to Dr. Zhang in the afternoon!
Dr. Zhang is a well-known archaeological researcher in Shanghai, who is particularly proficient in ancient characters, and is also well-known in the national archaeological community!
He took his work very seriously, and while flipping through the photos of those parchment rolls in the computer, he checked them word by word against the text I translated!
An hour later, Dr. Zhang took off his eyes and said to me with a smile: "Xiao Feng, your ancient writing skills are quite solid, but you didn't do it as you intended, and all of it was recorded in the form of a novel!"
I replied indifferently: "This is originally an autobiography, and it is translated in a colloquial way of fiction, so that more people can understand it! Isn't it supposed to be exhibited in the Shanghai Museum, since it is a translation of the annotations, it naturally has to be read by more tourists!"
Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "Well, it's very set! How about it, are you interested in joining the national archaeological team? I'll recommend it for you?"
When I heard this, I hurriedly excused myself: "No, don't want it, I don't want to be nested in those monuments all day long, and I have to run around the country all day long, how troublesome!"
Dr. Zhang smiled slightly, did not reprimand me, and then continued to pick up my translation and continue to look at it.
Seeing that Dr. Zhang was studying this inexplicable autobiography very carefully, in order not to disturb him, I said hello to Dr. Zhang and left his office.
When I got back to the dormitory, I lay quietly on the bed in a daze, and I began to recall the stories recorded in the parchment scroll in my mind, and I began to ponder it non-stop.
This autobiography is not signed, but who wrote it? This person is very different from the current of thought at that time, and it is rare that such an ancient person denied the existence of dragons and asserted that the ancestors of mankind were ancient ape people! The most incredible thing is that he went so far as to distinguish between the ancients in the Yellow River valley and the ancients in the Yangtze River valley by racial differences, saying that one came from the west and the other came from the mountains in the southeast!
I once read an article about the origin of human beings in Africa, and all human beings in the world came out of Africa! When human beings came to Myanmar through India, one branch went around the west side of the Himalayas and entered our land of China, and one branch directly entered the area south of the Yangtze River from the northeast, and finally the two groups of people met again in the Yellow River Valley!
If this speculation is true, doesn't it mean that the Yanhuang tribe in the Yellow River valley and the Jiuli tribe in the Yangtze River valley mentioned in the parchment scroll are too consistent, could it be that this is indeed the real thing?
Judging from the autobiography written by the author of the parchment scroll, it seems that he does not believe much in theological ghosts! But why does he mention the reincarnation of the ninth life, and can clearly recall his own species and what happened in the ninth life when he was a beast? Since he does not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, why does he repeatedly mention the opening of the heavens by Pangu and the creation of human beings by Nuwa, and also wrote a mythical story entitled The Source of All Souls before the autobiography.
Is there really such a thing in the black swamp and forest known as the ghost pool and the ghost forest, the three spiritual beasts in the swamp, and the magical towering spirit tree? Why did he and his wife recall the past every time they went to the spirit tree? Could it be that the spirit tree had a memory function? If so, what was the roar of the ghosts in the ghost pool?
When I thought of these horrible parts, the dormitory door suddenly made a knocking sound, which scared me into goosebumps!
I was very timid, I couldn't listen to the ghost story, I got out of bed and came to the door with fear, cautiously glanced through the crack in the door, and saw that Wang Jiali was knocking on the door, so I opened the dormitory door boldly and with confidence.
Wang Jiali walked in and looked around, and saw that I was alone in the dormitory, so she bent her mouth and said, "Xiao Feng, what are you doing, why did it take so long to open the door!"
Of course I didn't want her to know that I was scared of the contents of that parchment roll too, so I lied and said, "Oh, I accidentally fell asleep just now, didn't you have a class in the afternoon?"
Wang Jiali lowered her head and smiled shyly, then turned around and closed the door and locked it, smiled at me very badly, and stretched out her hand to pull me to sit on the bed together!
She looked at me gently, hugged me and said warmly: "People are deliberately supporting that stunned and bright, saving him from skipping class and sticking it next to the two of us to disturb us!
In terms of men and women, Wang Jiali has always taken the initiative than me, but because I live in the dormitory, I have not found a suitable opportunity!
This opportunity is really good, my roommate left school to go shopping with his girlfriend, and he won't come back until late at night.
With the seduction of such a big beauty, how could I hold it back, and immediately hugged Wang Jiali and kissed it non-stop.
Wang Jiali seemed to be more anxious than me, and began to undress while kissing, and soon I saw all the parts of her body that I had dreamed of! My blood was high, my heart was excited, and as soon as I took off my shirt, there was a sudden knock at the door of the dormitory, and then I was stunned and began to call outside the door: "Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, open the door, you haven't told me the rest of the parchment scroll!"
