Chapter 797: Prison Mystery Corpse (20)
Mu Yuan reached out to touch the room for a while, but came to the conclusion that someone had licked it. Chu Xunyu and Wangchen were both surprised. No one had been here for nearly a thousand years. How could there be a living person here? And... and he would stick his tongue to lick it? Mu Yuan wiped it on his body and said disgustedly: "It's so disgusting."
Chu Xunyu squeezed over and looked at the hole. Naturally, he couldn't see anything. He winked at Wangchen, then took out his long sword and chiseled the roof, hoping to open a big hole, and at least let someone go in and see what kind of thing would still be alive in such a place. Mu Yuan put his finger under his nose and sniffed it, and said angrily: "Fortunately there is no disgusting smell."
After a while, Chu Xunyu opened a hole of about the same size on the roof. He took a deep breath and Chu Xunyu jumped in, but it was not as deep as he imagined. It was the height of the normal room. After landing, Chu Xunyu instinctively alerted for a while, and then whistled, calling them both down, and then lit the fire. Only then did he see clearly that the roof was covered with the vine torso just now. Mu Yuan asked in surprise: "Isn't this thing carved from a stone? Why are there too? Could it be that it just stuck out its tongue and licked me?"
Chu Xunyu didn't know it. Logically speaking, this thing should be a dead thing. Although it looks like a skeleton, how could it be a flesh tongue to lick people? Looking around, Wangchen was very moved: "The leader here lives a good life."
It turned out that the place where the three of them stood at this time was the main hall, which was spacious and generous, with tables and tables, and arranged in an orderly manner. Even the tea cups on the table were arranged in an orderly manner. However, they were old and covered with dust too deeply. However, it was not difficult to see how elegant the scenery here was. The ground was marble, the walls were ginkgo wood, and the carved white cranes were carved. The withered potted plants were placed with three yangs and beautiful flowers. The only thing that was bad about the scenery was that there were many earthy heads on the walls, which added a bit of incongruous feeling to the elegant environment.
Mu Yuan looked down at the rotten cushions on the ground and asked in surprise: "I remember that during the Warring States Period, I didn't seem to have the chairs I am now, and they all sit on straw cushions."
"It depends on who it is." Chu Xunyu walked to the table and looked at the tea cup on it. "The people sat on the grass, while the nobles used cotton or linen, and wrapped in brocade. The cups for making tea here were all bronze. In that era, there was no porcelain, and the Central Plains were made of wood. It seemed that the bronze craftsmanship in southern Xinjiang was already very good at that time, and the leaders here lived in it. "
"I'm telling me what this thing is?" Mu Yuan pointed at the earth-colored skeleton on the wall and asked curiously, with an uncontrollable excitement on her face, "Can I break it down and take a look?"
"Don't." Chu Xunyu quickly denied, "Along the way, do you think Master Chu didn't cause enough trouble for us? You can tell that this thing is very strange at a glance, so don't cause trouble."
"Go to another room to check it out." Wangchen suggested that there were three doors in this main hall. He picked a sling on the left and went in. The curtain hanging on the door had already been rotten. The three of them walked in with a fire break. It was now a bedroom, with a couch in it. Wangchen asked strangely: "Does the decorations here look like Han people? They don'ts like Nanjiang."
"It means the leader here is a Han man." Mu Yuan replied carelessly, "It must have been the confidant who accompanied Zhuang Zhuang to southern Xinjiang back then. Because this place is of great importance, Zhuang Zhuang was worried about handing it over to others, and he would definitely send someone he could trust."
"Han people?" Chu Xunyu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Mu Yuan, and said in unison: "Study room!"
Mu Yuan said very much that what was going on here was very secret. Zhuang Zhuo would not assign the trusted Nanjiang Master to command the commander. He must have sent the Han confidants who followed him to Nanjiang to conquer the world. In the past, the army he led to Chu was composed of Han people. It was easy to pick a few loyal subordinates. Then, if it was Han people, they would have a study and a kind of Chinese character. Whether it was seal script or official script, they could understand it. Just leave a few words, and the secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom were clearly visible at a glance.
The three of them hurried out to look again. After entering the room in the middle, they were indeed the study room. The shelves were arranged neatly, with bamboo slips and silk on it. Unfortunately, they were all rotten and difficult to identify. Only a few stone slabs on the wall seemed to have some words. Mu Yuan said in annoyance: "It took too long, and the bamboo slips and silk were rotten."
Chu Xunyu responded helplessly with his sleeves while rubbing the stone slabs on the wall: "At that time, southern Xinjiang was very backward. All important information was recorded by chiseling stones. I believe that the bamboo slips and silk of our Han people would be easier to preserve, but I hope that they would not be as ancient Miao texts as those outside, so that would be annoying."
After wiping it clean, the three people made a breakthrough in their trip to southern Xinjiang. There were three stone slabs in total, one small and two large. The first one was a large seal script, and the remaining two were written in a mixed combination of large seal script and ancient Miao language. This is very interesting. In theory, how could normal writing be written in different words? But after seeing the content of the large seal script, I suddenly realized that these words not only introduced this dungeon, but also unveiled a corner of the mysterious veil of the ancient Dian Kingdom back then. It was really unexpected.
The first stone slab should be the imperial edict issued by Zhuang Zhuang, or the enthronement documents, because the text is neatly carved, and the signed seal was the jade seal of the ancient Dian Kingdom. The general meaning was to enthrone a man named "Mi Qi" and give him an official position called "General Tian'en". On a certain month and a certain day of a certain year, Chu Xunyu calculated the time. It was almost the end of the Warring States Period. This person led more than 70 masters to the mountain. Zhuang Zhuang gave them the right to summon the people in the south of the country to be ordered to be "Heavenly Gong". Mu Yuan pused him.
To put it bluntly, they were slaves, and they even lied that they were hard laborers recruited by God, calling them "Heavenly Techniques". Zhuang Zhuo was really shameless. After Mi Qi and the Masters summoned the coolies, they would build a large number of buildings in the mountains according to Zhuang Zhu's imperial edict, dig the abdomen of the mountain, find something called "Panhu corpse", and then live on the spot, that is, let these people find it and live here, study the mystery, and order it to be fast. After the result, it should be reported to the emperor, that is, Zhuang Zhuo himself.
This stone slab revealed a lot of secrets that I had never heard of. Chu Xunyu seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, and Mu Yuan asked: "Yan Gong, are you the same as I think? Are you thinking about this secret of the 'Panhu corpse'?"
"No." Chu Xunyu shook his head, "I should be able to guess what this thing is."
