Originally, the brothers of the king's shopkeeper were still vying to show themselves in front of the pot holders, and the speed of going up the tree was called a fast, like a group of monkeys.

But as soon as they saw someone bitten to death by a poisonous snake, the villagers really realized the danger, climbed the tree much slower, and began to become cautious.

I knew how lethal this red viper was, so I didn't go up the tree with them, but stood under it and watched it all.

Sister Hong's hands and feet were already weak, and she was exhausted from crossing the river just now, and it was impossible for her to follow the tree, so she stood next to me and chatted with me.

Seeing someone bitten to death by a poisonous snake, she was suddenly frightened, patted her towering chest and said, "It's too scary, it's scary...... This gadget doesn't look very big, why is it so fierce? One bite kills! ”

I smiled wryly: "Isn't the piranha in the river just the size of a palm?" Eat people without spitting out bones. This ancient Shu tomb has been sealed underground for thousands of years, and these animals have also survived underground for thousands of years. ”

Sister Hong stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice: "It's a piranha and a poisonous snake, these two things are enough of a headache, but don't come out with other demons and monsters, I still want to get out alive." ”

But I was not optimistic and said: "Since there are a large number of piranhas and poisonous snakes living in the ancient tomb, it means that there is a complete ecosystem here, and only these two creatures cannot form a complete ecosystem, and there must be other animals here." ”

After saying this, I suddenly felt that I had a bit of the taste of high-level intellectual Xiaoliang when I spoke, and I don't know if the two of us have been together for a long time, and I was unconsciously affected by her.

At this moment, a scream came from the tree, and I saw that another unlucky Tufuzi was bitten by a poisonous snake, and in the blink of an eye, he lost consciousness, and rolled down from the tree with convulsions, rolled his eyes, and foamed at the mouth, and fell into the underground river.

The piranha in the river had just been poisoned to death because of eating a poisonous corpse, but as soon as the corpse entered the water, it was eaten clean in a moment, and a large piece of piranha was poisoned.

It is said that the memory of a fish is only seven seconds, and I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe it.

Seeing that in less than ten minutes, two Tufuzi had been damaged one after another, and some of the tomb robbers began to get angry, so they thought about retreating.

A man with a little more seniority, probably a leg, came up to the shopkeeper and said, "The pot is too dangerous on the tree, and two brothers died in such a short time, do you say that the coffin of the tomb owner is really on the tree?" Is it necessary for us to look in the trees? ”

Hearing this, without waiting for the shopkeeper Wang's statement, Mr. Liao also speculated: "Shopkeeper Wang, generally coffins are in the soil, I haven't heard that there are coffins buried on trees, are you really sure that you can find coffins on this tree?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said firmly, "I'm sure." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the bronze dragon remains entrenched in the giant tree and said: "This dragon is called the Tomb Guardian Dragon, which was cast by the ancient Shu ancestors to protect the owner of the tomb, and the location of the tomb owner must be under its five claws, and within the five claws of this dragon, it is this ancient tree." ”

I agree with this, because in the ancient Shu tomb of Tuojiang before, the coffin of the tomb owner was indeed stored under the dragon remains, under the two claws on its chest.

It can be seen that what the king shopkeeper said is true.

And the king's shopkeeper had more than one argument, and after talking about the mound dragon, he asked again: "Mr. Liao, do you know which Shu king this ancient Shu tomb belongs to?" ”

Mr. Liao shook his head blankly and said: "Please forgive me for being a shallow learner, and I don't know much about the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom, just by some of the burial goods in this tomb, I can't tell which Shu king this mausoleum belongs to." ”

Shopkeeper Wang smiled faintly and said: "The history of ancient Shu is confusing, and it is reasonable that Mr. Liao does not understand. In fact, generally speaking, the history of ancient Shu is divided into several stages - the founding of silkworm cong, followed by baiguan, then yuyu, and then Du Yu...... This ancient Shu tomb should belong to the second generation of Shu King Baiguan. ”

"Then the owner of this ancient Shu tomb is the famous Bai Guan?" I couldn't help but ask.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and said: "This statement is not very accurate, but it is more accurate to say that this ancient tomb belongs to the Baiguan period. The history of ancient Shu is quite long, and the founding of the silkworm cong is 5,000 years away from now, but Du Yu, the king of Shu, lived more than 2,600 years ago, that is to say, the silkworm cong, Bai Guan, Yu Yu, Du Yu, between the four generations of dynasties, there are a full 2,400 years apart, on average, each of their Shu kings, isn't it going to live for 600 years? ”

Sister Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this: "Good girl, then our ancestor is really long-lived!" He can live to be more than 600 years old! ”

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at Sister Hong with contempt, and said, "What can live for more than six hundred years, it's because the historian mistakenly took a group of people for one person." In fact, there are many silkworm cong clans in history, the old silkworm cong clan is dying, and the new silkworm cong clan will follow the throne, and the descendants will continue to rule the Shu country for 600 years, which is the real silkworm cong era. Later, Bai Guan replaced the silkworm cong, in fact, the dynasty was changed, and the new Shu King took Bai Guan as the name, and he was called Bai Guan for generations, and ruled Shu for hundreds of years. And then there's the fish, it's Du Yu......"

After listening to the story of the king's shopkeeper, I suddenly realized.

I see!

This explanation is indeed more reasonable.

What silkworm bushes, cypress shrubs, fish stalks...... These are not the names of a person or a king of Shu, but the names of a dynasty.

I immediately said, "Just like Qin Shi Huang at the beginning, he called himself emperor, and stipulated that his children and grandchildren should also be called emperors, but they were the second, third, and fourth generations, and they were passed down from generation to generation. The same is true for the king of Shu, silkworm cong has one and two generations, and Bai Guan also has one and two generations......"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "That's right, that's what it means." ”

Mr. Liao also expressed his knowledge, and then asked: "Then the shopkeeper Wang, how do you conclude that this ancient Shu tomb belongs to the Baiguan era?" ”

The shopkeeper Wang calmly replied: "It's very simple, because it can be seen from the bronzes here that the Shu people of this era worship trees." The word cypress has two meanings - cypress refers to trees, and irrigated stork, referring to a bird similar to a white crane in ancient Shu. The Shu people lived in the forest during the Baiguan period, so this kind of totem worship was produced. ”

Hearing this, I immediately recalled the bronzes I had seen in the tomb before, many of them were strange images of half-man and half-tree, and the reliefs on the sarcophagus, which were indeed the combination of the ancestors and the big tree.

I didn't expect that the shopkeeper Wang seemed to be reckless, but in fact, he was rough on the outside and beautiful on the inside, and he studied the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom so thoroughly.

It seems that if you want to be a pot supporter, you must not only have connections and financial resources, but also have a certain cultural connotation, otherwise even if you fight, you will not be able to find where the coffin of the tomb owner is.

After finishing talking about the specific period to which the ancient Shu tomb belonged, the shopkeeper Wang continued to peel off the cocoon and said: "As for why the king of Shu in the Baiguan era hid the coffin on the tree, it has something to do with their beliefs and worship......
