Chapter 1087 The survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?
Suddenly, Fang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly caught sight of the rows of statues on the high platform. The facial features of the statues were exactly the same as those of the Yin Di'an people, and Han Du didn't think much about it. Since these statues were placed on the high platform by the Yin Di'an people,
They were probably the most prestigious ancestors in their tribe, so it was only natural that they looked the same.
What caught Han Du's attention was that the base of the statue was engraved with various lines of different lengths. These lines eventually formed patterns, which were very familiar to Fang Xiaoru.
"This is" Fang Xiaoru couldn't hide his shock. But now was an important moment for the Yin Di'an people to perform sacrifices. Fang Xiaoru couldn't rush up and take a closer look. He could only suppress the curiosity in his heart. He followed the chief's actions and just waited.
This sacrifice will be completed as soon as possible.
Han Dufang and Xiaoru walked side by side, and he could clearly see the change in Fang Xiaoru's expression. However, since Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and prepare to ask Fang Xiaoru again when he got down.
The chief expressed great satisfaction that Han Du could participate in their sacrifice. The more primitive the society, the more they worshiped the strong and respected the weak. The chief could not invite a powerful figure like Han Du in the past.
of.
With excitement, Han Du and Fang Xiaoru completed the sacrifice according to tribal customs. All the Yin Di'an people kneeling under the high platform raised their hands and cheered.
Fang Xiaoru stood up with the help of the chief, and turned a deaf ear to the chief as he stretched out his hand to indicate that he could go down. Fang Xiaoru looked up directly at the base of the statue on the high platform and pointed towards the statue.
The chief thought Fang Xiaoru was asking him about the identity of the statue, and he explained to Fang Xiaoru excitedly.
Through the chief's gestures, Han Du could roughly know that these statues were all important figures among their ancestors.
However, Fang Xiaoru's purpose was obviously not to listen to the chief bragging about his ancestors' achievements. He shook his head, pointed at the statue again, and raised his steps as if he wanted to go forward. .??.
The chief's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his hands to block Fang Xiaoru. He was still yelling something, obviously trying to get Fang Xiaoru to come up.
Seeing how persistent Fang Xiaoru was, Han Du quickly asked, "What did you find? Do you want to go up?"
Fang Xiaoru nodded and said, "Yes, but it's a bit far away here, so I can't see clearly. Whether it's what I think of, I still need to go and see it in person to know."
Han Du glanced at the chief, then looked back at Fang Xiaoru, and asked again: "Is it very important?"
"Very important!" Fang Xiaoru's expression showed a rare solemn expression.
In this case, what else is there to say? Han Du has always been a helper but not a helper. He put his right hand on his waist, opened the leather case with flexible fingers, and suddenly pulled out the revolver. He stepped forward directly and threatened.
Chief, pull him aside.
Then, he tilted his head and gestured towards Fang Xiaoru, who was no longer blocking the steps.
The chief naturally still had fresh memories of the magic weapon in Han Du's hands. In his mind, it was a powerful weapon for the Sun God's guards. Faced with Han Du's threat, he naturally did not dare to make any move.
However, his mouth kept saying something.
Although Han Du couldn't understand it, he could easily guess that he must be talking about his ungratefulness and arrogant ambition.
This sudden change made the Yin Di'an people below suddenly become restless. When some people saw the chief being kidnapped by Han Du, they rushed to the high platform to fight Han Du.
Having experienced their sacrifices being robbed once, they were too sensitive to such actions, thinking that Han Du also wanted to rob their sacrifices.
Fortunately, the chief's son still had a good impression of Han Du and quickly stood up to stop everyone. With the comfort of the chief's son, everyone did not impulsively step forward to fight Han Du.
The chief's son stepped forward, came to Han Du, and communicated with Han Du with gestures, which meant that he wanted Han Du to let his father go.
Han Du signaled the father and son to be calm, and raised his hand to point at Fang Xiaoru, who was kneeling on the high platform and carefully looking at the base of the statue.
The chief also discovered at this time that things seemed to be different from what he imagined. The man did not mean to snatch the sacrifice, but instead
Squatting on the ground, it seemed as if he was reading the words under the statue.
'How rare are these people able to understand those words?' The chief thought for a moment in his heart, and his expression quickly became excited. He shouted a few words at the tribesmen on the high platform, and the Yin Di'an people below suddenly made a sound of surprise, and later even more
Under the leadership of the chief, they all knelt down to the statue on the high platform again.
Uh~ I don’t know whether they were kneeling to the statue or Fang Xiaoru next to the statue.
Han Du saw all this and felt that there was no danger anymore, so he tried to let go of the chief.
The chief glanced at Han Du gratefully, and without saying a word, he quickly walked to the high platform, knelt beside Fang Xiaoru, and bowed to him continuously. He pointed to the words on the pedestal, and bowed to Fang Xiaoru again.
, as if begging Fang Xiaoru to tell them what these words mean.
Han Du also walked up to the high platform and saw the words engraved on the base. Looking at the chief's actions, he still couldn't understand that these words were probably the words used by the chief's tribe, but he didn't know why.
The reason is obviously that these words have been lost a long time ago. Even the people in their own tribe do not know the meaning of these words. Now that they see that Fang Xiaoru actually understands, they immediately regard Fang Xiaoru as a sage who can solve the confusion. Naturally, the other party
Filial piety and respect for children.
Fang Xiaoru's entire mind is now attracted by the words on the pedestal. How can he have time to pay attention to the chief?
Han Du saw him kneeling on the ground pitifully, so he stepped forward to stop him. Then he squatted next to Fang Xiaoru and asked, "What are these?"
Fang Xiaoru glanced at Han Du angrily and said disdainfully: "These should be the bells and tripods inscriptions from the Xia and Shang Dynasties, which are also bronze inscriptions."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Han Du with contempt, "You are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, but you don't even know about inscriptions. You are ignorant and incompetent."
Han Du suddenly felt a breath in his chest and looked at Fang Xiaoru angrily. However, Fang Xiaoru also said this, Han Du could not refute, so he had to hold back and said, "Can you change the word? I am always ignorant and incompetent.
Aren't you tired of being ignorant?"
Fang Xiaoru raised the corners of his eyes proudly. It was obvious that he was in a very happy mood. Even if he talked about Han Du many times, he would not get tired of it.
When the chief saw the two squatting on the ground and talking constantly, he thought that the two of them could really understand these words. Suddenly something occurred to him and he quickly gave a few instructions to his son beside him.
After hearing this, the chief's son suddenly looked shocked and quickly turned around and walked towards the high platform, not knowing what he was doing.
Han Du carefully looked at the lines on the base and nodded secretly. These things should be a kind of writing as Fang Xiaoru said. And judging from the neatness and uniformity of these words and the strict prohibition, it is still a relatively mature kind.
Text.
"Since you know each other, do you know what it says?"
Fang Xiaoru looked at Han Du with wide eyes and said dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about? The writing here is incomplete, and some of it has been washed away by the rain. How can I know what it is like, you are so clueless?
mean?"
Huh? Han Du was immediately a little disappointed. He had obviously found something, but in the end it was still of little value. That was a fair statement. Han Du curled his lips and stood up.
Fang Xiaoru ignored Han Du and continued to squat on the ground, reaching out and touching each handwriting one by one, as if trying to find the meaning that he could decipher.
At this time, the chief's son came back, holding four pieces of jade in his hands and placing them in the chief's hand.
The chief came forward with the jade guide. Maybe he didn't think Han Du would recognize it, so he went directly to Fang Xiaoru and showed the jade guide in front of Fang Xiaoru's eyes. He also said that these jade guides were left by their statue ancestors.
When Fang Xiaoru saw Yu Gui, her face showed an even more shocked look, and she couldn't wait to reach out and pick up Yu Gui.
When Han Du saw it, he quickly stepped forward and saw the same words on Yugui as on the pedestal. He asked nervously: "What? Do you know what's on it?"
mean?"
"Yeah!" Fang Xiaoru nodded solemnly.
He took out the first piece of jade and pointed at the words on it and said, "What is engraved on it is '厎娀翟翟'". Yuzhai is the eldest daughter of the You'u family and the ancestor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties." Fang Xiaoru did not expect Han Du either.
If you know who Yu Zhai is, you might as well explain it to him directly.
Han Du was blinded after hearing this. What the hell is the Youwu family? I have only heard of the Chao family. Or is the ancestor of the Yin Shang Dynasty Yu Zhai? Shouldn't it be the fate of the black bird that descended and gave birth to Shang?
Bah~ Definitely not, the destiny black bird, this is a myth.
"Are you sure you read it correctly? The ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties? Are there the Wu family and Yu Zhai?" Han Du pointed to the Yin Di'an people below in disbelief, and then pointed to the statue in front of him. At the end, Han Du
I don't even know what to say.
I could only hold back a question, "Since they are worshiping the ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, wouldn't it be wrong?"
Since these people worship the ancestors of the Yin Shang Dynasty as their ancestors, it naturally means that they have a direct relationship with the Yin Shang Dynasty. After all, if they are not from the same blood, who would have nothing to do to worship strangers?
But Han Du found it a bit hard to accept that these people were survivors of the Yin Shang. Where was the birthplace of the Yin Shang? The Henan area of the Ming Dynasty.
And where are I now? On the American continent.
They are tens of thousands of miles apart, and there is a sea between them. If these people are really the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty, then Han Du would like to know how they got here?
Fang Xiaoru ignored what Han Du was thinking, took out the second piece of jade, pointed to the words on it and said, "There is also this one, look at it."
Han Du took a look, but still didn't recognize it, so he could only ask helplessly: "What does it say?"
Fang Xiaoru now had no time to look down on Han Du and said directly: "What is engraved on it is, '妣信'. Emperor Gaoxin is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and an ancestor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
Even Huang Di came out. Even if Han Du wanted to deny it, he felt that his idea was too pale.
Fang Xiaoru took out the third piece of jade and continued: "The words engraved on it are 'Yasi Duoyue, Chi Youduo, Hui, and Bing', which are sacrifices to Shaohao, You, ancestors Duohu, Xiangshi and Wang Hai."
Waiting for someone."
Although Han Du was less talented and less knowledgeable in front of Fang Xiaoru, he still knew about Chi You, Shaohao, Duo Fu and others. These are the ancestors of Chinese civilization and the true source of China.
Fang Xiaoru took out the last piece of jade and said, "This is engraved with 'Twelve Displays of Earth', which is the society. The 'Twelve Displays of Earth' is the ancestor worship system of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Are these people really from the Yin and Shang Dynasties?"
?”
Han Du remained silent, not knowing how to answer Fang Xiaoru's doubts.
When the chief saw that Fang Xiaoru could really understand the words on the jade gui, he danced with joy and knelt down to the statue. He kept mumbling as if he was expressing some excitement to his ancestors.
Then he looked at Fang Xiaoru and kept praying to Fang Xiaoru, as if he wanted Fang Xiaoru to tell them what was written on these jade guis.
Fang Xiaoru put away Yu Gui, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to the statue.
When Han Du saw it, he sighed helplessly and bowed down. There was no other way. If the ancestors of China were really enshrined here, then if Han Du didn't worship, it would be considered disrespectful.
Just pay your respects. Anyway, with Fang Xiaoru's Confucian attainments and caution, the possibility of making a mistake is very low. Being able to worship the ancestors of China in person is also Han Du's own blessing.
The chief was begging Fang Xiaoru, but he was surprised to find that these two people were solemnly worshiping their ancestors. What was going on?
You must know that to worship common ancestors, only those who regard each other as their own people can worship the common ancestors. For tribes, only tribes that recognize each other and merge into the Tao for the same reason can worship the common ancestors.
As for the power of Han Du and others, the chief has long seen it. He is not qualified to ask Han Du to worship ancestors. Because he knows that Han Du will definitely look down on them. If he says this, it will easily cause Han Du and others to
human
Hostility. Being able to have Han Du participate in the sacrifice to the Sun God was already a great honor for him.
But now, something he never dared to imagine has become a reality. This made the chief feel at a loss for a moment.
However, the Yin Di'an people under the mound and high platform did not care about the number of people and cheered for joy. In their opinion, with powerful people like Han Du joining them, they would become stronger and unrivaled.
The chief obviously did not think as naively as the tribesmen that Han Du and others would stay in the tribe from now on. However, he was still very happy that Han Du and the others solemnly worshiped their ancestors.
The chief quickly communicated with Han Du through gestures, trying to figure out why Han Du chose to worship the ancestors of their tribe.
The meaning was too complicated, and the two of them argued for a long time without letting the other party understand what they meant. In the end, both of them had no choice but to give up.
Fang Xiaoru frowned when she saw the scene in front of her, and made up her mind.
"What? You want to stay?" Han Du leaned over excitedly in front of Fang Xiaoru who was sitting on the stone, and looked condescendingly into his eyes.
Fang Xiaoru responded to Han Du with flat eyes and nodded.
"Why?" Han Du subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling greatly troubled by Fang Xiaoru's choice. Now it seems that things are over, potatoes and corn seeds have also been shipped, and they are waiting to set sail immediately.
Return to Ming Dynasty.
Returning to the Ming Dynasty as early as possible will save the people of the Ming Dynasty from hunger. Such a matter is of great importance, and we should go all out. How can there be a fork in the middle?
What's more, Fang Xiaoru actually wants to stay here. How is this possible? Fang Xiaoru was specially sent by Zhu Biao. Although Han Du didn't know the purpose of Zhu Biao's move, Zhu Biao would never send Fang Xiaoru for no reason.
Come out?
If he goes back and leaves Fang Xiaoru here, how should he explain to Zhu Biao?
"I want to study these bronze inscriptions here and teach them to read and write." Fang Xiaoru said seriously.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, and Nuonuo said: "I can understand that you want to study bronze inscriptions, but why do you want to teach them to read and write? Can people like them learn Chinese characters?"
Fang Xiaoru frowned in displeasure when he heard this, and retorted: "Ignorant children don't understand anything, and they can only learn to read and write under the guidance of the teacher? Although they are a little ignorant, that's because
It's because no one teaches them. I believe that as long as I teach them, some of them will soon be able to read. Especially the chief's son, this man is very smart and has a very high level of understanding. These days, he can read through gestures and gestures.
The meaning we express is becoming more and more clear. If I teach him to read, I believe he will be able to read and write soon."
Han Du did not take Fang Xiaoru's praise of the chief's son to heart. In his own opinion, Fang Xiaoru's mentality was like an addiction to being a teacher. Teaching these natives to read and write? No matter how Han Du looked at it, it was a fantasy.
.
Fang Xiaoru saw that Han Du was disapproving and said nothing more. He just said to Han Du: "You don't have to worry about me. If you want to go back, just go back. Don't worry, before you go back, I will personally write a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yes, if you take the letter back, His Highness will not blame you."
Han Du suddenly felt angry and funny, and said at a loss: "You want me to leave you here alone and go back alone? Do you think I can do such a thing?"
Fang Xiaoru laughed and said: "Of course you can't do it, then you should stay here and wait for me."
Han Du sighed feebly and said: "You also know that our most important thing now is to bring grain seeds back to the Ming Dynasty. You ask me to wait for you here, is this possible?"
Han Du wanted to explain the urgency of the matter to Fang Xiaoru so that he could give up his current thoughts.
"How is it impossible?" Fang Xiaoru frowned and said, "Isn't there still food that has not been harvested yet? You just stay here for a month, and after the harvest, you can bring more food back.
