Gu Fengchun temporarily ignored the ownership issue of this hidden city. These mythical contents have put Gu Fengchun into extreme trouble. Are these all true? Countless legends about King Zhou Mu emerged in Gu Fengchun's mind.
For example, Kunlun Mountain and the Queen Mother of the West. In "The Biography of Emperor Mu", it is said that King Mu of Zhou rode the sacred chariot made by Zaofu and drove eight horses as tribute from the princes and kings. He traveled west to the Kunlun Mountains and met the Queen Mother of the West.
There seemed to be a love story as the Yaochi harp sang and the Queen Mother of the West paid a return visit to King Mu of Zhou. As for the Yanshi, his identity was even more peculiar. According to records, he was a skilled craftsman who once presented a gift to King Mu of Zhou.
Puppet, that puppet not only looks very similar to a human, but also acts like a normal person. It can even wink at King Zhou Mu’s concubine, making King Zhou Mu furious. The ability of this puppet, even
Today's intelligent robot technology is far from reaching that level. Because of this, historians usually treat these stories as myths and legends.
Gu Fengchun sighed deeply and thought to himself: Is there someone here who is so bored that he carved a myth here? But this is actually very easy to identify, and the era in which this story takes place is easy to distinguish. Gu Fengchun prides himself on his own
The superpower could quickly understand the era of the words on the stone wall. So he took a deep breath and stretched his hand towards the stone wall. But when he was just a few centimeters away from the words on the stone wall, he stopped his actions.
He thought: What if these are true? Gu Fengchun knew that if these legends were true, then a lot of history would be rewritten. It was not just his own view of history that would be subverted. After thinking about it, Gu Fengchun still touched his hand.
As he walked towards the stone wall, his view of history had been overturned countless times, why did he care about this time?
In fact, Gu Fengchun has already obtained a very definite answer from the clumsy yet handsome calligraphy and the traces of peeling stone walls. Since he was a child, he has been exposed to countless antique cultural relics, and his eyesight has reached the level of infallibility.
, it would be difficult for him to come across something that really requires him to sense it and use his powers to sense it once or twice a year.
It was real. After Gu Fengchun touched those ancient carvings on the cold stone wall, the last doubt in his heart was gone. The familiar and peculiar feeling clearly told him that this was from the ancient times. This time is different from the ancient times.
The legendary Emperor Mu lived in an era where there were not many differences in time. What is this concept? A thunder sounded in Gu Fengchun's mind, holding him there motionless. If these records are true, then this week
King Mu really once drove a carriage that traveled thousands of miles a day (how could he do it?), hunted in all directions, and met the Queen Mother of the West in the so-called Yaochi of Kunlun Mountain, and also received the elixir of death (eh?!); that mysterious
The puppets that Yanshi presented were as advanced as the robots in science fiction movies (how could they be made?). They were also real... Gu Fengchun knew that if these contents appeared in his history paper, he would publish it somewhere.
In a formal and solemn seminar, if he is accused of being a lunatic, or he is called a backward young man who is seeking fame, whimsical, and using absurd behavior to gain a position, maybe his hard-earned degree will no longer be recognized (although he is not
I don’t care much), but Gu Fengchun knew how important the content on this stone wall was.
Think about the time when the ancestor worship inscriptions of the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty were discovered in Gaxian Cave in the Daxinganling Mountains, and the birthplace of the Xianbei people was confirmed, overturning the conclusions of scholars for many years; if the records on this stone wall were spread, how much of a sensation would it cause
, how many traditional theories have been subverted? If nothing else, take Kunlun and the Queen Mother of the West as an example. Many scholars are still not sure whether the Kunlun Mountain at that time was the Kunlun as it is called today, and the Queen Mother of the West is even more impossible to say. Scholars directly think that it is not at all
They do not exist and are fabricated by later generations. However, the inscriptions on the stone wall can confirm these legends. They are probably not just pure legends. There must be some amazing secrets hidden behind them.
The excited Gu Fengchun quickly calmed down.
Because there was a difficult problem waiting for him. Gu Fengchun, who was already a first-class expert in ancient writing, was confused about the nearly four hundred characters on the stone wall. Because those were not bronze inscriptions.
There are about nine hundred characters in the entire inscription. Gu Fengchun exclaimed at the beginning: This is probably the longest one among the discovered bronze inscriptions. Until he saw the description in the bronze inscription
After Yanshi built the hidden city, there were no characters that Gu Fengchun could understand. It seems that behind this, the mysterious Yanshi was concealing his ultimate purpose. What was the real purpose of building this mysterious hidden city?
?It seems impossible to justify spending so much manpower and material resources on such a thing.
Although the ancients were very superstitious, they would never have worked so hard in the barren western Sichuan area at that time. Anyone who has seen the map knows that Wang Ji of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi, you can compare it with the map). At that time, there were no airplanes.
The plane has to be fast but not fast, and there is no broken road. If you want to enter Shu, you have to go through mountains and rivers and go through many dangers before you can appear in Shu. To build such a large project, only King Mu of Zhou can accompany him.
The guard force is obviously not enough. Even if the local people are recruited, the barbaric land does not seem to be able to gather enough labor force. However, what best illustrates the contradiction is the stone forest outside, which can be traced back to a far older age than the inscription.
The records are even older, and Gu Fengchun came to such a conclusion based on his own induction. So from this point of view, it can be concluded that this place was not built in the era of King Mu of Zhou, at least a large part of it was not.
It is possible that Yanshi discovered this mysterious underground cave and then used the original terrain to expand it. The first people to build this hidden city must have been the Bo people or the Su people who were earlier than the Zhou people. Maybe
This is what these strange characters have to say.
Gu Fengchun had doubts, frowning and struggling to read the words he didn't understand.
These mysterious characters are not special. On the contrary, they seem to have almost the same structure as bronze inscriptions. If you are not a real expert, you will only decipher them as bronze inscriptions. However, Gu Fengchun believes that this is what carved these inscriptions.
What people think the most, because in this way, the deciphered result must be far from the truth, or even irrelevant. In this way, the secret can be preserved for a long time. Gu Fengchun, who has studied Xixia texts for many years, carefully
After identifying the characters on the stone wall, he made a bold guess. The characters he couldn't understand were imitative characters similar to later Chinese characters and Xixia characters. However, Gu Fengchun was very confused about it.
Because Gu Fengchun felt that the imitation of the subject-guest relationship was inappropriate, he relied on his preconceptions and believed that the mysterious characters were imitated from bronze inscriptions. Historically, the Xixia people imitated Chinese characters. Although they successfully created their own characters,
However, there were too many chiseling marks and the simplification was reduced to complexity. This kind of writing obviously did not meet the requirements of the development of the times and was eliminated soon (it was basically not used after the fall of Xixia). Later, the Koreans also imitated Chinese characters and created
Korean, but the Korean system is similar to pinyin and has ambiguities, so a lot of Korean must use the meaning of Chinese characters to accurately express it; not to mention Japanese, which is a mess of Chinese characters. I said so many irrelevant words just to illustrate a point
: The counterfeit text should borrow some characteristics of the original text. Although it will have new characteristics, it will not be more expressive than the original text (at least in the Chinese system). The problem discovered by Gu Fengchun exists in
Here. Because the characters he couldn't understand looked more mature and more logically structured than the bronze inscriptions he could decipher.
If these two fonts had not appeared at the same moment, Gu Fengchun would have thought that this strange character would be the result of the evolution of bronze inscriptions. But if they appeared at the same time, Gu Fengchun would have no other explanation. In his opinion, the only reasonable explanation is
That is: if there is imitation between the two, the bronze inscriptions are imitations of these unfamiliar characters.
Gu Fengchun knew that once this point of view was raised in a formal setting, he would be drowned by the saliva of ancient writing experts. This is because the world of ancient writing has long recognized that Chinese characters evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, to bronze inscriptions, to Zhouwen (big seal script), and small seal script
... This slowly evolved. Suddenly, bronze inscriptions became imitations of this kind of characters. Where did that put the oracle bone inscriptions of businessmen? Where did that put the countless efforts of countless calligraphy experts? Like this
The disputes caused by the embarrassment and impact will make some people want to tear Gu Feng Chun apart.
Gu Fengchun was made dizzy. Soon he woke up from his deep thinking. Gu Fengchun knew these mysterious and regular characters, and he probably wanted to understand them without painstakingly studying them for three and five years.
The content was basically wishful thinking. He let out a long sigh and asked Zhou Dingxuan, who was more fascinated than him, "Uncle Wrinkle, do you recognize the characters at the end?"
