Mr. Jinzhu dug up many dead people in the Loulan people's tomb area. Among them, one corpse's face was lifelike. He was wearing a luxurious fur robe and lying quietly in a coffin dug out of a whole section of poplar wood. His face was peaceful.
Mr. Jin Zhu took a small brush and gently swept the dust off the face of the female corpse, looked at it for a moment and said to Di Renjie: "This corpse has been buried here for at least two thousand years. It is really rare that it can be preserved so perfectly.
These are our ancestors, so we must not disrespect them. The people who come will re-order the coffin and bury it properly. We should show respect to our ancestors before offering sacrifices."
Two of his disciples came forward and looked at the female corpse lying in the coffin and asked Mr. Jinzhu: "Sir, we have dug out no less than ten corpses here. Why is it that only this one can be preserved so completely?"
Jinzhu hesitated for a moment, clasped his hands and bowed respectfully, and then said to his disciple: "There are many conditions required, but I think the most important condition is Fumeng. There are people in this world who are born smart and brave.
There are people who are born rich, there are people who are born kind, and there are naturally people who are born vicious.
These people are not as good as those who are born lucky. I was originally full of doubts about the world, and then I wanted to dig out the truth from the vast ancient books and restore the true face of the world. As I continued to study, I suddenly found that there seemed to be something mysterious.
There is a pair of big hands pushing everything in this world, from sunrise to sunset, from winter, summer, spring and autumn to life and death, as if with destiny, going around like a circle. We are always unable to escape from this cruelty, we can only stay in this circle.
Spin.
The lower the intelligence, the less control the life has over its own destiny. The higher the intelligence, the more control it has over its own destiny. Just like a pig, we can predict its fate from the moment it is born, but we can't predict a person's fate.
There is no way to judge him when he is just born. A farmer's son may not necessarily become a farmer, and a pig's child cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered. Therefore, while you are studying knowledge, you must also modify your moral character.
Accumulate your own blessings. Oftentimes, a small inadvertent change can benefit you for a lifetime or regret it for a lifetime. Think about it carefully, consider it thoroughly, and practice it diligently. Remember, remember."
The old gentleman was lecturing, and not only his students were listening attentively, but the sergeants also stopped their tools and listened to the old gentleman's lecture. Although they could not understand what the old gentleman was saying, it did not hinder their respect for knowledge at all.
Those difficult sentences kept emerging from the gray-haired head, and the last word was spoken word by word. In their opinion, only a person with great wisdom can say something profound that they cannot understand.
Anyone who does not understand is a sign of knowledge.
Mr. Jinzhu is busy here, while a large group of cavalry is busy on the other side of the hillside. As the most destructive group of people in the world, it is not difficult for them to tear apart the wood on the tomb.
The war horses dragged the rope, and there were sharp iron hooks on the rope. As long as the iron hooks were hung on the wood, they would be roughly separated from the tomb. They did it very smoothly, and the waves were continuous. This is the military
A standard method for demolishing enemy fortifications, quick and effective.
The people standing on the hooks on the tombs all wore pig beaks. Di Renjie strictly prohibited them from taking off the pig beaks. As soon as they came off the construction site, their pig beaks would be immediately thrown into a vat filled with spirits.
The body must also be wiped with spirits.
I never expected that the Tomb of the Sun would be so huge. It actually occupies the entire hillside. The stripped poplar wood has been piled as high as a mountain, and only two layers have been removed. According to Huangshu, this is
There are at least five more floors of wood before you can see the main tomb chamber.
Di Renjie frowned as he looked at the mountains of wood in front of him. Populus euphratica, tamarisk, and Haloxylon ammodendron can be called the patron saints of Loulan. These people actually cut down so many poplar trees in order to build tombs. Loulan is now a ruined land.
The land may be related to their casual cutting down of Populus euphratica forest.
Now in Guanzhong, the imperial court has issued a strict ban on logging. Wherever coal can be used, coal must be used. If dry firewood can be used, trees must not be cut down. Cutting down one tree and planting another has become the daily routine of the people in Guanzhong.
Cognition.
Most of the wood used by Li Er to build the Wanmin Palace came from the Qinling Mountains. Naturally, this was not the cheapest way, but it was the best way to protect Guanzhong.
Aren't the Loulan people afraid of being punished by heaven for their misbehavior? In order to urge the court to pass the logging ban, the Academy specially conducted a small soil erosion experiment in the Wanmin Palace.
Two sandboxes of the same size were made. The sandboxes were covered with the same mountain topography. The only difference was that one was covered with grass and the other was bare. The students of the academy stood in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials in the Wanmin Palace.
They used the same watering can to water the sand table. The result was obvious: a sand table was riddled with holes due to artificial rainwater, and the river in the valley turned into mud soup! A sand table covered with grass was in better condition.
There were too many, not only the mountain shape was not greatly damaged, but although the river in the valley was swollen, not much sediment flowed down.
When Fang Xuanling learned that the small river in the sand table was the Yellow River, he immediately asked the emperor to approve the logging ban. He also used the Jinghe River and the Weihe River as examples and mentioned the difference in mountain topography upstream of them.
This deeply impressed the civil and military officials and the emperor. The emperor approved the ban on logging, but asked the academy to find a way to solve the people's firewood problem.
The Loulan people are seeking their own destruction. Even if there had not been this disappearance, they would still have been buried in the sand.
As far as the eye can see from the low hillside, there is a large forest of Populus euphratica standing in the desert in the distance, some of which are already dead. Those dead branches piercing the sky are like a pair of arms stretching to the sky to cry out. Such injustice needs to be shouted out again.
millennium.
"Keep pulling, keep pulling apart, tear all these pieces of wood apart. I want to see what kind of noble person is buried inside. I want to burn him to ashes." Di Renjie became angry.
The sergeants didn't understand why the young noble officer was angry. The captain waved his hand, and another team of people immediately joined the team of clearing the wood. There was too much wood, and even at night, only four layers were peeled off.
We returned to Loulan City to rest at night. After a busy day, everyone felt very tired. After dinner, they went into the tent to sleep. Until midnight, the wind started blowing again, and the dog suddenly sat down.
They got up and woke up the sleeping Di Renjie. The two of them listened attentively. The sound of the wind tonight was mixed with human voices. This was an extremely sad cry, which was very obvious in the night wind. When Di Renjie rushed out of the tent
, the two teams of cavalry were already using torches to quickly outflank the cemetery.
Di Renjie saddled his horse, and Xu Jingzong took hold of his horse's reins and whispered: "Wait until we get the results before we go. If something happens to you, your petty master will torture me to death."
Recalling his master's misinterpretation of the sentence "A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall", Di Renjie immediately followed his example and kept pacing on the ground waiting for the result of the cavalry outflank.
"Boy, that's right. I like your master and apprentice's do-gooder attitude the most. We all have big things to do. How can we lose ourselves in such small things? Now that the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, it's me.
It’s a good time for us to show off our skills, so how can we get hurt? Boy, remember to save your life first, your master must have entrusted you with this, right?”
After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he looked at the dark city wall and naturally stood behind Gouzi. He was very worried that a crossbow arrow would come from outside the city wall and assassinate him in this deserted city.
Gouzi said helplessly to Xu Jingzong: "It's okay for you to always hide behind me, but you have to know that as a warrior, I will definitely be the first to be killed among the three of us. When the crossbow comes, I will definitely
If you can dodge, you will be the one who suffers the consequences. You need to stand within one step of the kid, this is the safest place."
While they were talking, Xiao Tie rode a fast horse and rushed in from the city gate and said to Xu Jingzong and Di Renjie: "We captured three people, all old men. They were crying and worshiping their ancestors. When they saw us coming out, they wanted to run away.
They were blocked by our cavalry."
Xu Jingzong laughed, pointed at Di Renjie and said: "Boy, the Loulan people have been found, and now they are causing trouble. This is not the result that His Majesty wants. His Majesty's purpose is to want Black Rock Mountain, and he plans to build a city and station troops here. Black Rock Mountain Pass
It is the only way for Tubo to enter Beiting. We all know that Your Majesty always wants to eliminate all dangers, so he garrisoned troops at Blackstone Mountain to guard against Tibet and cut off the connection between Beiting and the imperial court.
Xianglu Dongzan said harshly that the Tubo people could donate their beauties, cattle, sheep, gold, jewelry, and shells to the Tang Dynasty, but not the land. He also said that the land was transformed from the bones of their ancestors, so Blackstone Mountain would never be ceded to the Tang Dynasty.
.
But, this is a problem for you two masters and disciples. Mr. Jinzhu is a simple man, and the frontier army has suffered enough humiliation, so it is very troublesome now. Just let these three Loulan people go and pretend that there is no such thing.
It won’t work. Young people are so frivolous and have nowhere to go when doing things. Find a way. Tubo is different from other countries. Our people cannot enter their territory. If we want to kill them, the price must be very high.
, a good excuse flew by."
Xu Jingzong chuckled and entered his tent. The old fox made up his mind not to interfere. He thought that Di Renjie should find a way.
Di Renjie scratched his head. This matter was indeed troublesome. Blackstone Mountain Pass was the main route for the Tubo people to rob the small country here. How could he offer it with both hands and let the Tang army block his door?
