Everyone in the room listened attentively to Fu Shuangling's narration, the story of more than a thousand years ago, but it was so colorful and exciting in the mouth of this old man.

Primal Fu Shuang took a breath and said: "After the ancestor Fu Jiezi came to Loulan Kingdom as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, King Angui of Loulan was weak and timid because he broke his promise and assisted the Xiongnu in attacking and killing the envoys of the Han Dynasty, so he refused to receive the Han Dynasty envoy. Seeing that they couldn't enter Loulan City, everyone was anxious for a while. ”

At this time, the ancestor came up with a way, and he said to the subordinates of King Angui who came to pass the word that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and was ready to give them to King Angui to make friends with both sides, and the two families would coexist peacefully in the future. Unexpectedly, King Angui refused to receive him, so all these gold, silver and jewels had to be given to neighboring countries near Loulan. With that, the patriarch instructed the envoy to pack up all the jewels, gold and silver, and prepare to leave. ”

The man saw with his own eyes the gold, silver, and jewels carried by the mission, and returned to the king. King Angui was indeed greedy and coveted the gold, silver, and jewels brought by the mission. In addition, he thought that the Han court was fighting against the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the north at the moment, and he had no spare strength to look west, so he wanted to use a lot of money to buy Loulan and eliminate his worries. So there was no doubt about it, so he ordered the ancestor to lead the delegation and enter Loulan City to worship. ”

Ancestor Fu Jiezi was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he sent someone to secretly inform the 20,000 Han army iron horsemen hidden dozens of miles away to come quickly, and deliberately delayed the time until it was dark before preparing to enter the city. ”

At this time, the iron cavalry of the Han army has arrived, and the ancestors have opened the city gate in the name of the envoy entering the city to meet them, and the 20,000 Han troops shouted and slaughtered into the city of Loulan like a tide. The defenders of Loulan were defenseless, caught off guard, and were invincible. So the ancestors led the Han army to the royal city in the center of Loulan City. ”

Fu Shuangling slowed down his speech at this time, although his eyes couldn't see, he could also imagine the expressions on the faces of the people around him who could listen attentively at this moment.

He said slowly: "But when the ancestor Fu Jiezi led the Han army to kill, the place that was originally the Loulan Royal City was empty, and the royal city was gone!"

Ye Feng on the side couldn't help but ask, "Then where did Wang Cheng go?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Fu Shuangling's face, and he continued: "The ancestors and Han soldiers were wondering, when they heard a loud roar from the sky. Everyone looked up, but they saw a strange scene! I saw that the brightly lit Loulan King City was actually spewing flames from the bottom of the city, making a huge sound, and floating in the air!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Zhang Fatzi suddenly slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "Feicheng! It's really Feicheng! It turns out that the legends of Loulan Feicheng recorded in the wild history are true!"

Fu Shuangling smiled faintly and said to Zhang Fatzi: "The old man knows that in many wild history legends, there are descriptions of Loulan Feicheng, after all, the residents of Loulan City and the 20,000 Han soldiers and soldiers all saw it. But more than 1,000 years have passed, and it is inevitable that there will be errors in word of mouth. ”

However, as far as the old man knows, none of the versions that have been circulated in the world match the account in this handscroll handed down by the ancestor Fu Jiezi. Although I don't know which one is the truth back then, do you still want to continue to hear it?"

Ye Feng turned his head and glared at the fat man fiercely, and the fat man immediately reached out and covered his mouth.

Of course, you have to listen to it, they came thousands of miles to Lanzhou City to find Fu Shuangling, didn't they just want to know the truth of the year?

Fu Shuangling heard that they were no longer talking, so he exhaled and continued to tell: "According to the account of the ancestor Fu Jiezi in the handscroll, Loulan City was built next to a huge lake called Yanze, which was more than 300 miles longitudinal and horizontal, and the surrounding area was also green grass, trees, and fertile fields. That night, Loulan Wangcheng floated in the night sky, but gradually drifted out of Loulan City, until it drifted south, it seemed that it was going to cross the salt and fly to the south. ”

Yanze is now called Lop Nur, in ancient times in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" called Youze, or Ze, the Han Dynasty historical records are called Yanze, because it is a saltwater lake. The ruins of Loulan City are located in the northwest of Lop Nur and are built on the lake. ）

At that time, all the soldiers and civilians in Loulan City witnessed this scene, thinking that it was a miracle from the heavens, and they all knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. The ancestors and the Han soldiers were also amazed, and they didn't know whether to chase after them for a while. That's when things changed dramatically!"

I saw that the Loulan Royal City, which had already floated on top of the Yanze, suddenly exploded in a loud noise, and the entire royal city was engulfed by the raging fire in a blink of an eye, and soon fell down and fell into the Yanze Lake. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but let out a surprised "ah?".

Fat Zhang couldn't help but ask again: "What happened later? What happened later?"

Fu Shuangling sighed and said, "Later, I naturally had to look for it." When the day dawned, the ancestor led the Han army to the shore of Yanze, but saw that the Loulan royal city had all submerged under the water, but there were many corpses and objects in the royal city scattered on the lake. ”

The ancestor then ordered people to salvage them one by one, including the corpse of King Loulan Angui. Fortunately, he did not die under the explosion and incineration, but fell into the lake and drowned alive, so the body was still intact and recognizable. ”

"The ancestor found someone who was familiar with the nature of the water, dived into the lake to investigate, and found that most of the entire Loulan King City had fallen into the bottom of the lake, and it was seriously damaged and could not be entered. The ancestor originally wanted to send someone in to find out, but then he had no choice but to give up. ”

"Because this matter is too strange to believe, the ancestor sent a messenger to secretly report the matter to the general Huo Guang. After Huo Guang learned about it, he also thought that this matter was too demonic, and it must be related to some kind of Western Regions demon law, and it was probably unknown to investigate. So he strictly ordered the ancestors that this matter must not be leaked to a single cent, and secretly ordered the 20,000 Han army iron horsemen to surround Loulan City, and slaughter all the tens of thousands of people in Loulan City who had witnessed this scene that night, regardless of men, women, old and young. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically, and the tens of thousands of people in Loulan, unarmed, were all slaughtered by the Han army? This is too cruel!

Fu Shuangling sighed: "In fact, the ancestor was often disturbed by this incident later, and it is said that he has been haunted by nightmares since then, and often hears the cries of those innocent souls in his dreams, and his conscience has always been difficult until his death. ”

Later, the ancestor Fu Jiezi cut off the head of King Angui according to the order of the general Huo Guang, returned to the imperial court, and made up a lie to Emperor Zhao of Han to assassinate King Angui at a banquet. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was very happy at that time, so he rewarded the ancestors and named him the Marquis of Yiyang, with 700 households. ”

Then the imperial court named the younger brother of King Angui as the new king of Loulan, and the general Huo Guang secretly transferred people from various counties near the Western Regions to move to Loulan to cover up the truth of the massacre that year. The Han soldiers who participated in the massacre were all transferred to guard the border pass, and later they were all wiped out in the border war, so the truth of that year was never mentioned again. ”

Fu Shuangling sighed at this time and said: "I don't know what kind of demon method was used by the king of Loulan Angui back then, it is strange to say, since that flying city fell into the salt lake, this salt lake is like a demon, the lake is drying up day by day, and the surrounding grass and green trees, fertile fields have also withered and barren." The imperial court saw that the old site of Loulan was no longer inhabitable, so in desperation, it had to change the name of Loulan to Shanshanguo and move the capital to Nicheng. ”

After the salt dried up, the surrounding area was swallowed by the wind and sand, and now it has become the Gobi Desert, and there is no trace of it. ”

According to legend, the ancient country of Loulan fell to the ground in ancient times, and then someone built a city-state on top of it, living near the lake, and then established the ancient country of Loulan. ”

He turned his head to Zhang Fatzi and said: "Although the old man knows that in many wild history travelogues in the past dynasties, there have been records of so-called seeing cities floating in the sky, but most of them are hard to believe. According to the handscroll left by the ancestors, this is the truth of Loulan Feicheng back then. ”

(Regarding the demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there have been many theories over the ages, and the legend of the so-called flying city has been described in many wild history travelogues, seeing the city emerging from the sky, but according to today's scientific explanation, those should be just mirages in the desert Gobi.)

The drying up of Yanze, which is today's Lop Nur, should have been caused by the diversion of the upstream rivers, which was also an important reason for the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. By the fourth century, the high monk Fa Xian traveled westward, and it was recorded in the "Records of the Buddha's Kingdom" that the area around Loulan had become an uninhabited desert.

As for the reason for the drying up of Loulan Feicheng in Zhongzhong and the later mentioned Lop Nur, it is all because the plot needs to be fabricated by the author, which is pure fiction, please do not sit in the right seat. ）

After listening to Fu Shuangling's thrilling narration, Zhang Fatzi, like everyone else, felt extremely shocked in his heart.

And so it turned out!

The Loulan Royal City that exploded in mid-air, the tens of thousands of innocent people who were ruthlessly slaughtered, and the strange dry up salt lakes, all of this is so weird and unbelievable.

Since everything is recorded in the handscroll left by Fu Jiezi himself, where did this handscroll come from, and how much credibility does it have?

Zhang Fatzi thought about it, and when everyone was still immersed in the story just now, he opened his mouth and asked: "May I ask Mr. Fu, what happened to the ancestor Fu Jiezi later? Why did you leave this handscroll?"

A self-deprecating smile flashed on Fu Shuangling's face, and said: "Ancestor Fu Jiezi made up a set of lies to hide from Emperor Zhao of Han and was rewarded as a marquis, but then Emperor Zhao of Han didn't know where to hear some gossip and began to be suspicious of the ancestor. However, because the ancestors had the right to favor the general Huo Guang at that time, it was inconvenient for Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty to say anything, but since then he has also alienated the ancestors. ”

Later, after the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang abolished the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu He, the king of Changyi, and replaced it with Liu Yi, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the people, as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. ”

Seeing this situation, the ancestors expected that Huo Guang would not have a good end in the future, and he was deeply afraid that he would be burdened by it, so he resigned from his official position under the pretext of being ill, and returned to his hometown in Qingyang, Gansu, and closed his door. ”

Sure enough, in the second year of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang died of illness. In the fourth year of the festival, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty beheaded the entire Huo family for the crime of treason. The descendants of the poor generation of famous general Huo Quai's illness ended up like this. ”

When the news came, the ancestors were shocked and frightened, fearing that others would refer to him as Huo Guang's henchmen, and he had been uneasy about the Loulan massacre for many years, and he couldn't sleep at night, and died of illness in the second year. ”

(Huo Guang is Huo Quai's half-brother, one of the dying ministers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and after he successively removed the other three ministers of orphanage, Jin Ri, Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang, he leaned towards the government and the opposition.)

Later, he deposed Liu He as the Marquis of Haiyang and supported Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but after his death, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty slaughtered the entire Huo family. The following year, Fu Jiezi died of illness. ）

"Before the ancestor died, he wrote the events of the year on a handscroll and ordered future generations to pass them on from generation to generation, so that the truth of the year would not be annihilated. But at the same time, it is strictly ordered not to be leaked, and it must be kept secret to avoid bringing disaster to the Fu family. ”

He turned his head to Zhang Fatzi and said: "So, old man thinks about it, the content recorded on this handwritten scroll written by the ancestors back then and passed down from generation to generation is still credible. ”

Zhang Fatzi lowered his head silently, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Ye Feng on the side asked strangely at this time: "Since the ancestors strictly ordered that it should not be leaked, then Mr. Fu, why did you tell us this secret?"
