The vanguard general and several cavalrymen behind him were swallowed into the mouth by a big green dragon. There was very little description of this section. He almost said it in one sentence. He only said that his heart and thinking seemed to have stopped, and he felt like
It's like sleeping.
Then, in a flash, his physical condition returned to normal, except that his eyes were filled with green. He pinched himself with his hand, and the pain was excruciating. It turned out that he was still alive.
The cavalryman behind him carried an oilcloth and made a torch and handed it to him. It was strange that the color of the torch was also green. When the light spread out, his vision became clearer.
It turned out that the green things just now were gold everywhere, but the refracted light was green. The vanguard general suspected that his eyes were broken, so he asked other cavalrymen if there was something wrong with their eyes. He did not expect the other soldiers and his own situation.
It's the same.
In fact, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, gold generally referred to all metals. In Shuowen, an ancient Chinese philology work written by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold was called gold, silver was called platinum, and copper was called gold or iron.
It is black gold. Until the Tang and Song Dynasties, because of the many characteristics of gold and silver, which are easy to form and resistant to retention, and the mine sources of gold and white are not flooded, first of all, silver circulation was relatively common, while gold was mostly used for construction and decoration, and later with Western Europe
After Western countries began to trade, they discovered that their currency was mainly gold, so gold was taken seriously, and the meaning of gold gradually shrank to gold.
It was during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was exactly the opposite of today. At that time, people valued copper over gold, and did not care whether bronze was turned into gold. Moreover, the mainstream currency was also made of bronze. Bronze was even more valuable, and it showed a distinguished status. Tall and tall
status. So here, what the pioneer generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty look at is not gold in our ordinary consciousness, but bronze.
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were internal strife and foreign wars, and the corruption was unbearable. Many general military headquarters that commanded operations, because they were worried about military pay issues, issued "coin molds", also called coin seals, to various military headquarters. Of course, there are many other names, that is
An official tool for making currency. With it, the military and generals can make currency according to their needs at any time, and the raw material for making currency is this bronze. Of course, the general cannot make as much currency as he wants. The king will specially
Someone was assigned to take charge of the coin molds. How much money the general wanted to make and where the money was spent would be reported to the king until the final battle was completed. However, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, King Nan of Zhou was basically replaced by King Qin Zhaoxiang of Qin.
This allowed the pioneer general to see some opportunities.
His idea at the time was to transport the gold (bronze) out. So he ordered his men to look around for the exit. Then they gradually discovered and suddenly realized that this was not the belly of the big blue dragon, but a black mineral rock.
In the cave, they began to fear, maybe they encountered some mountain monster, and they must be looking for it in the mountain of Heigangzi.
After all, the pioneer general had been on the battlefield for a long time. He quickly issued a new order, asking all six cavalrymen to pack a bag of gold and immediately look for an exit. It was estimated that several hours had passed, and one hour in ancient times was equivalent to today's
For two hours, they lamented how the inside of the cave could be so big. From the outside, the black hill was only three square miles square.
Just when they were exhausted physically and mentally from walking and were about to rest, some scattered bronze coffins began to appear in front of them. At that time, they were called gold coffins, which were very precious things. It can be seen that the owners of these bronze coffins
, how noble the status is.
Everyone is greedy for money. It was a troubled time at that time. Immediately, the vanguard general and the six cavalry forgot about their tiredness and tacitly agreed to go up and pry open the bronze coffin. However, when they saw the contents of the coffin, their temples and foreheads froze.
I broke out in a cold sweat and asked them what they saw and how they could be so frightened. I also felt chills on the back of my neck when I listened to Bai Laogou's story.
They actually saw a dead body with two heads. This dead body had not decomposed and was quite well preserved. This corpse had no legs and feet. There was actually a black human head and two arms on the lower body that should have legs and feet. And this corpse
The black head was looking at the vanguard general and the six cavalry with open eyes. The green eyes were slender and had an evil aura of death.
At that moment, they were so frightened that they began to flee forward. As they ran, they suddenly discovered that there were more and more bronze coffins like this, almost everywhere. When they took a break to count the number of people, they found that one cavalry was missing. They all
There is an intuition that the missing cavalryman was probably kidnapped by the corpse just now.
Although they were extremely tired, this place was not a place to stay for a long time. They continued to move forward with a tired pace, and suddenly they plunged into the gray fog without knowing when, and the torches were extinguished. They could still see
They could see things because yellow light came from the front. They thought the light in front of them was the sun's rays, so they quickened their pace.
After walking out of the fog, they were horrified to see a glittering golden city far ahead. Colorful clouds floated over the city. When they were happy, they forgot about the two corpses and began to drag their tired footsteps towards the city.
Run slowly.
According to the records on the silk map, the city gate was very high, estimated to be nearly a dozen people tall. The gate was ajar, as if waiting for their arrival. It was dark inside, and they lit the torch again.
It was found that one more cavalry was missing. There were originally six cavalry, but now there are only four left.
The vanguard general frowned and entered the city with four cavalrymen holding torches. However, he didn't know whether it was because the torches were extinguished or because the black fog in the city was so thick that all the light sources disappeared and it was pitch black.
, and I couldn’t hear any sound, my breathing gradually stopped, and my brain went blank.
Up to this point, the records in the silk map were also quite vague. It only said that he, the pioneer general, escaped alone and woke up in a cave of black mineral rock. When he went out to inquire, he had actually arrived in the big cave.
The southern region of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty! The black hillock in the Xiongnu territory was actually thousands of miles away!
He was so frightened that he became seriously ill. He knew that he had committed a serious crime of beheading and delayed the military plane, so he kept going to the cave to study what was going on. In the end, not long after, he used the money he brought out to buy a coffin and put the
The whole incident and the map of Heigangzi were recorded on a silk map. Before he died, he still did not dare to leave his name. He was afraid that the king would find his body and punish his nine tribes.
After Bai Laogou finished telling what happened on the silk picture, he said: "Alas... Actually, if the knife wasn't placed on my neck, I wouldn't dare to talk about it!"
My grandfather said oh and said to me: "Boy, this pioneer general is the third legend I wanted to tell you all at that time, but there are just some differences."
He frowned and asked Bai Laogou again: "What's going on? Why don't you dare to say it?"
I raised the horse whip and cracked it, pointed at the white old dog and said, "Speak quickly! If you don't talk about eating the whip, believe it or not, I will blind your dog's eyes!"
The white old dog was so frightened that he bowed quickly and stammered: "Alas... alas! Guo Guo... Guo Da... Mr. Guo, why are you so scary! You hate the Japanese more than the Japanese! I said it, I said it.
…”
I coughed and said, "What a verbose big radish, fart!"
Bai Laogou said: "That Xiaojiro's father actually foamed at the mouth and died after listening to what the old man said. Now his eldest son Tailang is the leader of our Zhaojia Village. Today I and his younger brother Xiaojiro are here to capture the young man.
Yes, he will reclaim that black hill tomorrow!"
As soon as Bai Laogou said this, Fatty Wang, who had been silent all this time, screamed.
