Lightning is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Cheng Yu does not intend to just die and wait. The scene he just saw is also a glimpse. There are many strange things in the human brain. Occasionally, he sees one
Feeling familiar with the scene may not necessarily mean you can really find the exact answer. Cheng Yu decided to temporarily
Putting this matter aside for now, he continued to walk up and take a look. Cheng Yu had previously regarded this place as the top of the mountain, but it was not accurate. This was just the top of the village. Of course, there was indeed a relatively flat ground here, but in the past, it was not accurate.
If you walk deeper, there will soon be a higher place to go to.
Climb.
Now that he realized that it might be a cemetery where Yao people buried their dead, Cheng Yu decided to continue exploring. Cemetery has always been the most common place in treasure hunting novels and film and television works, not to mention if the stone pillars have
That sentence is really like what Cheng Yu explained, so somewhere up there, there should be this group of Yao people.
Tombs dating back hundreds of years.
It took four hundred years. Although it was not known when the Yao people moved away from this place, Cheng Yu estimated that it would be more than two or three hundred years at least. Judging from the number of terraced villages at the foot of the mountain,
, at its peak, there were more than fifty households living here, and based on an average household size of four, there would be more than 200 people. What’s more, people in ancient times had more children and raised children for old age. There was no pension at that time.
However, when you get old and lose the ability to work, you can only rely on your children to support you. It is almost impossible for a child to support his elderly parents, so he can only have more children to share the income.
Bearing the pressure of supporting the elderly. Therefore, when the population of this village reaches its peak, it may even exceed three to four hundred people. Of course, this does not mean that the Yao people will eventually reach that large number here. It may also
It was moved later
The scale reached after more people lived here. However, no matter what, the Ji clan of the Yao tribe, with anywhere from dozens to more than a hundred people here, must have lasted for a long time. Therefore,
If there are really a group of tombs on the mountain, there may be as many as
Hundreds of graves. Considering that couples and even generations may be buried together, the number of graves belonging to the Ji clan in the past four hundred years will not be lower than a few dozen. And if in
If the purpose of building tombs on the mountain is to hide treasures, then there may also be a huge tomb on the mountain. Those Ji clan members who are qualified to be included in the genealogy will be sent to that tomb after death. There may not be corpses or skeletons.
But at least
There will be spiritual tablets. If this is the case, the most likely place where the treasures are hidden is in the tombs on the mountain.
No matter what the situation was, Cheng Yu would definitely not be able to figure it out here, so he decided to go up the mountain to find out. So Cheng Yu carefully held on to the trees that were growing in disorder, and walked forward more carefully and slowly.
.It rained so heavily, and there was slippery land and floating weeds everywhere. Even though Cheng Yu was careful enough, he still did it several times.
Almost fell.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu kept holding on to different tree branches in his hands, so he didn't fall to the ground.
After walking for dozens of meters in the dark, Cheng Yu felt that the ground under his feet, which was not even a road, began to extend upward at an angle.
He took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight function, and illuminated the path under his feet.
It was this kind of illumination that allowed Cheng Yu to see that not far away from the shadows of the trees, there was another path paved with bluestone slabs.
Compared with the stone steps in the cottage area, the path here is narrower and can almost only be walked by one person. But at least it is much easier to walk than the slippery mud ground along the way to Cheng Yu.
.
Pushing aside the bushes, Cheng Yu finally stepped on the stone slabs again. After that, it became much easier to walk. Cheng Yu quickly walked up more than a hundred steps. In a building in the city, it would take about six or seven steps.
The height of the storey is high. From here, you can look back at the mountain, although it is blocked by the shadow of the trees.
Most of them, but you can still barely see the lights of the cottages below the mountain through the gaps in the leaves.
When he arrived here, there was another piece of flat land in front of him. Cheng Yu saw many things like the stone pillar standing on the ground.
Striding forward, Cheng Yu knelt down and used his mobile phone to illuminate the short stone pillar in front of him.
The side length of the cross-section is also less than ten centimeters, and the part exposed above the ground is only about thirty centimeters. However, Cheng Yu used the light of his mobile phone to see that the writing on it was slightly smaller than the stone pillar just now.
What is engraved on this stone pillar is: Yao Ji is so sensitive.
Walking towards another stone pillar, Cheng Yu saw the writing on it: Yao Jixuan is here.
The third root: Yaoji connects the sea here.
Well……
Ji Lianhai, isn’t that a famous history teacher? Who buried him here?
Cheng Yu is also enjoying hardships. Of course he doesn't know that for thousands of years, there are not too many people with the same name in China.
The fourth root: Yao Ji works here.
Brother, you remember your homework, I'm still doing my homework.
The fifth root: Yao Jitao is here.
…
I looked at more than ten of them in a row, and they all had simple words. It seemed that these stone pillars were all short and thick, not as long as the stone pillar below.
But that's right, the stone pillar here functions as a tombstone, so naturally it doesn't need to be that long. The one below serves as a dividing line and guide, so it naturally needs to be long enough to record clearly.
Walking straight to the deepest part of these strange tombstones, Cheng Yu squatted down and looked at the last row of stone pillars.
The one in the middle clearly says: Yao Ji is good at this.
The two roots, one on the left and one on the right, are respectively "Yao Ji draws benevolence from here" and "Yao Ji draws etiquette from here."
There are only these three stone pillars in this row. It seems that these are the three most senior members of the Yao people at that time, and they are also the leaders of the tribe who led the people to open mountains and cultivate land here. Cheng Yu took a general look.
Look, although these stone pillars are in a neat row horizontally, the number of each row is different. Some have more than twenty, and some only have a few. Cheng Yu secretly thought that this might be a row.
It represents a generation. If it is more, it means that that generation left more, and if it is less, it means that that generation left less.
It seems that joint burial did not happen to this Yao people. They probably had the old custom of women not being included in the family tree, so only the men of the Ji family were buried here. Over the past hundreds of years,
Not all of the Yao people of the Ji family stayed here. Some of them stayed here to continue farming and protect the land created by their ancestor Ji Qishan. Some of them left the village when they became adults.
, go to the outside world to find a way to survive. Some of them may come back here when they are old after working hard outside, or even let their heirs send them back here to return to their roots after death. But no matter what
Hey, as long as they died in the village, they are all qualified to be buried here.
Cheng Yu counted and found that there were fourteen rows in total, which meant that a total of fourteen generations of Ji clan members were buried here.
If one person is born every twenty years on average, almost all the Ji clan members of the Yao clan have been buried here for more than 200 years. This means that by about a hundred years ago, no members of the Ji clan of the Yao clan would continue to live here.
.
I don’t know if they all died and the whole generation was completely cut off, or if they finally moved away from this place and left the village to those who came after them.
This is the answer that no one will know. Cheng Yu stood among the tombstones that were completely different in shape from traditional tombstones and made a simple calculation. Ji Qishan, who came in 1610, should still be in his prime at that time.
It is relatively normal to die after thirty years.
Condition.
This means that the first row of three stone pillars were erected around 1640.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty was almost dead.
After that, it is considered as the generation of twenty years. If you add two hundred and sixty years, it will be around 1900.
It is definitely not accurate, and the deviation may be as high as twenty or thirty years, but basically it was the period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century when the Ji clan no longer had any descendants in Nensi Township.
Since many years ago, I have stayed here alone, enduring the baptism of wind and rain, the gentle caress of the mountain breeze, the wash of heaven and earth, and the reflection of the sun and moon. However, there are no descendants anymore.
Worship them and no one even remembers them anymore.
It wasn't until today that Cheng Yu accidentally discovered this place and saw the clan members of Mr. Ji Manzi buried here. Cheng Yu stood in front of those strange tombstones and bowed three times for Mr. Ji Manzi who were sleeping underground.
He bowed and said: "It happens to be a heavy rain. Just treat the rain in the world as wine. I respect you all on behalf of Mr. Ji Manzi."
bowl."
After saying that, Cheng Yu held his hands in the shape of a bowl, caught some rainwater, and poured it into his mouth.
Holding it in the shape of a bowl again, Cheng Yu caught the rainwater and sprinkled it all over the dozens or hundreds of tombstones. Of course, the intervals between these tombstones were too small. Cheng Yu believed that those of the Ji clan
The corpse was not buried here. The wide distance between these stone pillars is one or two meters, and the narrow distance between them is only ten centimeters.
If you have some space, let alone burying corpses in coffins, even if those people were buried standing up after death, it would still be impossible to bury them.
This should be just a place similar to an ancestral hall, but I don’t know if there are treasures under these tombstones that they have protected for more than ten generations.
Cheng Yu stood in front of those tombstones and thought, what was the situation in Vietnam around 1900? Cheng Yu remembered that from the information he had checked, someone in Vietnam finally unified the country in the early 19th century. At that time, Vietnam was under the Qing Dynasty.
As a vassal state, the new Vietnamese king asked the Qing Dynasty for permission to change the name of the country to Nanyue, and then
However, Emperor Jiaqing finally gave the country the title of Vietnam, and this is how the current name of Vietnam came into being.
In the mid-19th century, the French began to invade Vietnam. Until 1883, Vietnam recognized French rule over the entire Vietnam, and Vietnam was completely reduced to a French colony.
As the suzerainty of Vietnam, the Qing government sent troops to participate in the war, but it was no match for the French. Two years later, the Sino-French war ended, and the Qing government signed a new Sino-French treaty with France, completely giving up its suzerainty over Vietnam.
In 1940, Japan invaded Vietnam, and Vietnam became a colony under the dual rule of France and Japan. This means that the era of Ji's Yao people basically occurred during the period when the French independently colonized Vietnam, and it did not
Do you know if it has anything to do with the French?
