Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 353 King Wuling, King Longchuan, the Great Flood

At this moment, Professor Sun was not listening to Bai Jing at all, but was looking at the stone tablet excitedly.

Bai Jing's research on ancient writing is naturally not as good as Professor Sun's.

Immediately, Bai Jing asked: "Professor Sun, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Professor Sun finally came to his senses and said, "Look, these stone pillars were left behind after the flood control. The carved seal characters on the stone pillars are extremely detailed. This pattern is "Light and Heavy Thunder Patterns", and the seal characters are "Snail Cicada". "Ancient Seal Script", to be honest, even I can understand 70% to 80% of it."

As soon as he said this, Bai Jing couldn't help but sigh. Professor Sun's research on ancient characters is indeed extraordinary. It is impossible for ordinary people to understand these strange-shaped scrolls that are like heavenly books.

Even Bai Jing, a well-known scholar in the academic world, could barely recognize 20% to 30% of the ancient seal characters on it.

But when I think about it, Professor Sun has been immersed in this art for decades and has devoted endless efforts to it. In addition, he himself has extraordinary attainments in this field. It is simply not within the reach of ordinary scholars and experts. It is not possible to understand 70% to 80% of the knowledge. What a strange thing.

Immediately, Professor Sun introduced the contents on the stone pillar.

According to the records on the stone tablet, in the early years, due to the unique terrain of the Wushan Mountains, it was not benefited from the Yin Yang Fish diversion. At that time, floods were raging in this mountainous area, and natural disasters continued year after year.

Therefore, countless people and animals are swallowed up by floods every year, and eventually become food for fish in the river.

Until later, a hermit King Wuling appeared. This man had the skill of moving mountains and could use Yin soldiers to dredge rivers. The result was a miraculous effect.

But one day, when King Wuling was controlling the water, it was discovered that his identity was actually the form of a black sheep in the mountains. He was using the power of ghosts and gods to open the river and drive countless mountain ghosts and mandrills to carry earth and rocks.

Today, the criss-crossing canyons of Coffin Gorge and the dangerous bird paths all over the walls are the relics of King Wuling at that time who used Yin soldiers to open the river. The native people who died in the process of opening the river and controlling the water in the past dynasties have also been included. Hanging coffins, and as the flood gradually lowered, they were buried layer by layer on the cliff.

Later, King Wuling succeeded in controlling the flood. On the day of celebration, he got very drunk. In a daze, he walked to Xiling Mountain, where he finally revealed his true form and fell asleep.

As a result, he was captured by unsuspecting local mountain people. By the time King Uling's men found his whereabouts, King Uling's sewer had been cooked by the locals for a long time.

Then there was a plague first, and then there was a plague of locusts that covered the sky and the sun. The people at that time said that this was the ghost of King Wuling.

So the locals built a large tomb in the gorge and buried the rest of his body. However, because only his skin, flesh and bones were left, his head was probably eaten and could never be recovered. A feast hall was also built to offer sacrifices year after year, and jade bodies and bronze heads were made for worship.

To be honest, the content recorded on this stone pillar is more or less mythical.

It can't be said that it has nothing to do with what Bai Jing found, but overall it doesn't seem to have much to do with it.

Seeing this, Bai Jing couldn't help but shook his head and said: "When it comes to water control in Shu, it should be Dayu and later Li Bing and his son. This talk about Wuyang King's water control is most likely just rhetoric.

Come to think of it, the Kaiming family of the ancient Shu Kingdom came up with an excuse to put money in the face of their ancestors. "

With that said, Bai Jing walked to the stone pillar, looked at it, and then said, "It's indeed right." Others were a little confused as to what was wrong.

Bai Jing said: "According to estimates, the era when King Wuyang lived should be in the Xia and Shang dynasties. However, the stone tablet shows the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Period. Not surprisingly, it is the Spring and Autumn Period. King Kaiming of Shu built it for his ancestors."

Professor Sun also thought of something when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "I think it is indeed the case. I thought it was strange before, but after you said this, I remembered that this ancient seal script of Snail Chan is obviously a text from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it is Appearing in ancient tombs before the Zhou Dynasty, it is really "

Although Professor Sun did not finish what he said, everyone understood what Professor Sun meant and felt a little funny for a while.

But turning around, Professor Sun said: "According to my experience, King Wuling may not really be a black sheep. There have been too many attempts to overturn the verdict in ancient Chinese history. With hands like rain, nothing can be said with certainty.”

Bai Jing nodded when he heard this. There was nothing wrong with what he said.

It is said that Qin Shihuang was tyrannical and unjust, but after so many years of hard work, Bai Jing and other archaeologists have also unearthed many Qin Dynasty letter slips, but they found that many historical records contain fallacies.

This thing, unless you personally experienced that era, you can’t speak highly of it.

When talking about this, Professor Sun also talked endlessly.

Historical records record the deeds of a prince who had a similar experience.

However, this man was not King Wuling, but King Longchuan. It is said that King Longchuan was cruel and extravagant, but because he dredged rivers and cured floods, he was a man with merits and demerits that is difficult to evaluate.

When King Longchuan died, his body was cut into pieces with random swords. His descendants were worried that someone would steal the royal tomb in revenge for him, so they changed his name when he was buried.

Judging from the current situation, this King of Wuyang is most likely King of Longchuan.

When he said this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but think of something and asked: "Hey, you said, the history books record that Gun Yu controlled the floods. At that time, the floods were raging, and Gun stole the emperor's soil and raised the floods. Later, Dayu traveled all over the world. Jiuzhou has also cast nine cauldrons to suppress floods. What kind of natural disaster is this flood all over Jiuzhou? "

Professor Sun replied after hearing this: "According to the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all four poles were destroyed, the nine states were divided, and the world fell into darkness.

At that time, heavy rains continued all year round, and floods occurred, rivers overflowed, and sea water poured in. It can be said that there is not even one out of ten things in the world. At that time, the mountain monsters and sea ghosts also took the opportunity to come out to cause harm to the world, choosing people to eat.

I can't believe the theory of ghosts and gods, but the great flood of that year, after my research, is real. Moreover, this great flood almost destroyed our entire civilization. "

Bai Jing also added: "I also have some doubts about this. Not only are there records about the Great Flood in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and our country's history books, it can be said that almost all civilizations in the entire world have records about the Great Flood. The legend of destruction.

One or two legends can be said to be accidental, but if so many legends appear together, there will be a problem."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Shirley Yang had read more documents from various countries and nodded solemnly at this moment.
