Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

When everyone was resting, in order to prevent danger, a night watchman was left behind as usual.

Just like that, several hours passed in a flash.

Bai Jing, who had woken up, looked at his watch and saw that it was already past six o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have almost rested, Bai Jing immediately said that everyone should continue to explore and find a way out.

Suddenly, Bai Jing found another whale skeleton in the distance. Bai Jing looked at it and concluded that it should be the skeleton of a sperm whale.

Needless to say, this whale is huge. It is much larger than the fish bones in the Fish Bone Temple that Bai Jing and the others had seen before.

Bai Jing headed forward to explore the way, followed by Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang.

After passing through the whale's corpse, the three of them saw various bronze vessels in front of them.

It has to be said that the number of bronzes here is simply too much. According to Bai Jing's simple count, there are probably more bronzes here than those of several larger vassal states in the pre-Qin period.

Just what Bai Jing saw now, there were thirty or fifty tripods of various styles.

This is not counting other bronzes.

Bai Jing roughly estimated that if all the bronzes here were made into weapons, it would be easy to form an army of tens of thousands.

The most important thing is that Bai Jing simply cut through the generations of the bronzes here and found that they were all from the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Bai Jing even discovered that some of the bronzes might be from the Shang Dynasty.

Don't think that there aren't enough weapons to equip tens of thousands of people.

Since ancient times, it has been a great country in the East and a city-state in the West.

After King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, he successfully established the Zhou Dynasty, and eventually destroyed the Yin and Shang dynasties and established their capital in Haojing, which was known as the "Western Zhou Dynasty" in history.

But in fact, the mainstream weapons at that time were actually wooden sticks.

You can tell just from the shape of the characters.

Knives, swords, and swords must be made of metal.

However, things like guns and oars must be wooden sticks.

And, most of the time, wooden sticks are actually the order of the day.

Haven't you heard of a word called "bleeding floating oar"? From this word, you can tell that this oar must be a wooden stick, because if it is made of metal, it will definitely not float.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou royal family was still very authoritative.

As a prince, the most important obligation is of course to obey the orders of the Zhou royal family. Naturally, he needs to go to Haojing frequently to pay respects to the emperor, which is to perform pilgrimage.

When it's your turn to come, if you don't come without any reason, then the matter will be huge.

If you don't go to court once, you'll lose the title; if you don't go to court twice, you'll seize the land; if you don't go to court three times, the six divisions will move it.

The meaning is obvious. As the saying goes, it can be done once but not again. If the emperor calls you and you don't come three times, then you should stop messing around. The emperor should directly send troops to fight you at this time.

According to the system of the Zhou Dynasty: the emperor's troops had a total of 14 divisions, including 8 Zongzhou divisions and 6 Chengzhou divisions.

Zongzhou is near Haojing, and Chengzhou is near Luoyi. At that time, one division had 2500 men, which meant that the total number of soldiers in Emperor Zhou's hands was 35000.

In addition to the Emperor, there are three divisions of the Great Kingdom, two divisions of the Chinese Empire, and one division of the Lower Kingdom.

In other words, 7500, 5000, and 2500 troops are required respectively.

From this we can see how wealthy the Hentian tribe was.

Maybe the soldiers in the hands of Emperor Zhou at that time were still big wooden sticks. The people who hated the Tianbu could already make bronzes per capita.

The difference between them is simply huge.

From this, we can understand why the tripod symbolizes power as mentioned before.

After all, what the bronze tripod represents is actually hundreds or thousands of metal weapons, which are completely different from big wooden sticks.

The bronzes here are definitely enough to arm the fourteen divisions under Emperor Zhou.

If King Ping had had these fourteen divisions with metal weapons in his hands when he moved eastward, I'm afraid there would be no trouble for the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Suddenly, Shirley Yang pointed to a bronze vessel and said, "Look, this hexagram shook up and down, shocking hundreds of miles away. This is the third time we have seen this hexagram."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi also looked over, and then looked at the hexagram, and couldn't help but said: "Oh, is this Hetian Department in conflict with this hexagram? Why is this hexagram everywhere?"

Shirley Yang thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't understand hexagrams, I have read in some books that any hexagrams with numbers usually contain some encrypted information."

Bai Jing shook his head when he heard this, and then looked at the words on the bronze vessel.

However, Bai Jing could only look at these words half-guessing.

Although the Hentian tribe originated in the Yellow River Basin and belonged to the Central Plains civilization, because the Hentian tribe was far away from the Central Plains, its writing also had its own development.

Bai Jing can understand the general meaning of the text on this picture.

I heard Bai Jing say: "This probably says that because of the war, the ancestors of the Hentian tribe wanted to find a place to live in order to avoid the war. I haven't finished the story here. Let's take a look at the other aspects. Is there any more?”

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi immediately walked to the other side of the bronze vessel.

Then Hu Bayi quickly greeted Bai Jing and said, "Old Bai, come here and take a look. There are also words here. Moreover, there is a building wood here, and there is a moon on the building wood."

Bai Jing walked over after hearing the words, then looked at the text and continued half-interpretation, half-guessing: "This is connected to what was just said. It also said that the soldiers of the Hentian tribe were divided into many groups. Among them, I found this place along the way, which should refer to the coral spiral.

The people of the Hentian tribe discovered the legendary Jianmu here. According to legend, Jianmu can grow above the moon. After discussion, they moved their entire family and settled here.

They modified Jianmu and equipped it with many mechanisms, trying to use Jianmu to take the people to the Moon Palace in order to stay away from the war and at the same time seek immortality. "

Hearing Bai Jing's interpretation, Hu Bayi couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "These ancients had really rich imaginations. They wanted to land on the moon and live forever. But, this Jianmu can really Landing on the moon?"

Bai Jing shook his head when he heard this and said, "I don't know if we can land on the moon, but I know that this Jianmu can take us away from Guixu. That's enough."

After hearing what Bai Jing said, Shirley Yang was not optimistic.

Hu Bayi also sighed and said: "Although it sounds unreliable, you have to give it a try, right? We can't just let the ancients do whatever they want, and we are not allowed to have random thoughts."

However, Hu Bayi looked at it for a while, but couldn't see any clues. He finally asked: "But, how to activate this building?" (End of Chapter)
