For the time being, Gu Fengchun ignored the issue of ownership of the hidden city.These mythical contents have already plunged Gu Fengchun into extreme troubles.Are these all true?Countless legends about King Mu of Zhou appeared in Gu Fengchun's mind.For example, Kunlun Mountain and the Queen Mother of the West, in "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is said that King Mu of Zhou rode a divine chariot made by Cepheus, drove the princes and kings to pay tribute to eight horses, traveled westward to Kunlun Mountain, and met the Queen Mother of the West. Yaochi qinse sang harmoniously, and there seemed to be a love story. Later, Queen Mother Xi paid a return visit to King Mu of Zhou.As for that Yanshi, his identity is even more peculiar.According to records, he is a skilled craftsman. He once presented a puppet to King Mu of Zhou. The puppet not only looked very similar to a human being, but also acted like ordinary people. It even flattered King Mu of Zhou’s concubine His eyes made King Mu of Zhou furious.The ability of this puppet, even today's intelligent robot technology is far from reaching that level.It is also because of this that historians usually treat these stories as myths and legends.

Gu Fengchun sighed deeply, and thought to himself: Could it be that someone here is so poor and bored, engraving a myth here?But this is actually very easy to identify, and the era in which this story happened is easy to distinguish.Gu Fengchun prided himself on his ability to quickly understand the era of the writing on the stone wall.So he took a deep breath and stretched his hand towards the stone wall.But when he was only a few centimeters away from the words on the stone wall, he stopped his actions and thought: What if these are true?Gu Fengchun knew that if these legends were true, a lot of history would be rewritten.It was not only his own view of history that was subverted.After thinking about it, Gu Fengchun still touched the stone wall. His view of history has been subverted countless times along the way, so who cares about this time?

In fact, Gu Fengchun has already got a very positive answer from those clumsy yet handsome calligraphy and peeling stone wall traces.Since he was a child, the antiques and cultural relics he has been in contact with have become incalculable, and his eyesight has reached the level of infallibility. It is difficult for him to touch things with his hands and use his abilities to sense things once or twice a year.

It is true.After Gu Fengchun touched those ancient incisions on the cold stone wall, the last doubt in his heart was gone.The familiar and peculiar feeling clearly told him that this was from an ancient time, and this time was not much different from the time when the legendary Emperor Mu lived.What is this concept?Gu Fengchun felt like a thunder rang in his head, and he was held there, motionless.If these records are true, then King Mu of Zhou really drove a carriage that traveled thousands of miles a day (how could it be possible?), patrolled all directions, and met the Queen Mother of the West in the so-called Yaochi of Kunlun Mountains. The elixir (eh?!); the puppet presented by the mysterious Yanshi, which is as advanced as a robot in a science fiction film (how can it be done?) is also real... Gu Fengchun knew that if these contents appeared in his in a historical paper, then he will be accused of being a lunatic in some formal and solemn seminar, or he will be called an underachiever who is trying to gain fame, whimsical, and absurd behavior. The degree will no longer be recognized (although he doesn't care much), but Gu Fengchun knows how important the content on the stone wall is.

Think about the discovery of the ancestor worship inscriptions of the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Gaxian Cave in the Daxinganling Mountains, and the confirmation of the birthplace of the Xianbei people, which overturned the conclusions of those scholars for many years; if the records on the stone wall were spread, how much sensation would it cause? , How many traditional theories have been subverted?Among other things, take Kunlun and the Queen Mother of the West as examples. Many scholars are still not sure whether the Kunlun Mountain at that time was the Kunlun Mountain it is called today, and the Queen Mother of the West is even more difficult to talk about. Scholars directly think that it does not exist at all. Later generations fabricated.However, the inscriptions on the stone wall can confirm these legends, and they may not be pure legends. There must be some amazing secrets hidden behind them.

The excited Gu Fengchun quickly calmed down.

Because, there is a thorny problem waiting for him.Gu Fengchun, who was already a first-class expert in ancient writing, was at a loss as to the nearly [-] characters left on the stone wall.Because those are not bronze inscriptions.There are about [-] characters in the entire inscription, and Gu Fengchun exclaimed at the beginning: This is probably the longest one among the discovered bronze inscriptions.Until he saw the inscription describing Yanshi's construction of the hidden city in the inscription, there was no character that Gu Fengchun could understand.It seems that behind this, this mysterious Yanshi is hiding his ultimate goal. What is the real purpose of building this mysterious hidden city?It seems impossible to justify such a waste of manpower and material resources to do such a thing.

Although the ancients were very superstitious, they would never have worked so hard in the poor western Sichuan area at that time. You can tell from the map that Wang Ji of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, you can compare it with a map). Airplanes need high speeds without high speeds, and can't even find broken roads. If you want to enter Shu, you have to go through mountains and rivers and go through many obstacles before you can appear in Shu.To build such a large project, the guards accompanied by King Zhou Mu are obviously not enough. Even if the local people are conscripted, it seems that the barren land does not have enough labor force.However, what can most explain the contradiction is that the stone forest outside can be traced back far longer than the records in this inscription. Gu Fengchun learned such a conclusion based on his own induction.So from this point, it can be concluded that this place was not built in the era of King Mu of Zhou, at least a large part of it was not. Most likely, Yanshi discovered this mysterious underground cave, and then used the original terrain. Expansion was carried out.The first to build this hidden city must have been the Bo people or the Li people who were earlier than the Zhou people.Maybe this is what these strange characters are about.

With doubts, Gu Fengchun frowned and looked at the words that he didn't understand.

These mysterious characters are not special. On the contrary, they seem to have almost the same structure as the bronze inscriptions. If you are not a real expert, you will only decipher them as bronze inscriptions. However, Gu Fengchun believes that this is the reason why these inscriptions The people who want it most think about it, because in this way, the deciphered result is bound to be far from the truth, even far-fetched.In this way, the secret can be kept for a long time.Gu Fengchun, who has studied Xixia script for many years, made a bold guess after carefully identifying the writing on the stone wall. Those writings that he could not understand were counterfeit writing similar to later Chinese characters and Xixia writing.However, Gu Fengchun was very conflicted.

Because Gu Fengchun felt that the imitation of the guest-of-honor relationship was inappropriate, he believed that the mysterious characters were imitated from the bronze inscriptions based on his preconceived feelings.Historically, the Xixia people imitated Chinese characters. Although they succeeded in creating their own characters, there were too many chisel marks and the simplification became complex. This kind of characters obviously did not meet the requirements of the development of the times, and they were eliminated in a short time After its demise, it was basically not used).Later, the Koreans also imitated Chinese characters to create Korean, but the Korean system is similar to pinyin and has ambiguity, so many Korean characters must use the meaning of Chinese characters to be able to accurately express; not to mention Japanese mixed with Chinese characters.Having said so many irrelevant words, it is just to explain one point: the imitated characters should borrow some characteristics of the original characters. Although there will be new features, they will not be more expressive than the original characters (at least in the Chinese system. Such).The problem that Gu Fengchun discovered existed here.Because the characters he couldn't understand seemed more mature and structured than the bronze inscriptions he could decipher.

If the two fonts did not appear at the same time, Gu Fengchun would think that this strange character would be the result of the evolution of Jinwen, but if it appeared at the same time, Gu Fengchun has no explanation. In his opinion, the only reasonable statement That is: if there is imitation between the two, the bronze inscriptions are imitating these strange characters.

Gu Fengchun knew that once this point of view was put forward on a formal occasion, he would be drowned by saliva from experts in ancient writing.Because the world of ancient characters has already determined that Chinese characters evolved from oracle bone inscriptions, to bronze inscriptions, and then to Zhenwen (big seal script), small seal script... and so on.All of a sudden, bronze inscriptions came from imitating such characters, so what happened to the oracle bone inscriptions of merchants?Where did the countless painstaking efforts of countless text experts go?Such embarrassment and the dispute caused by the shock will make some people want to tear Gu Fengchun apart.

Gu Fengchun was dizzy.Soon he woke up from deep thinking.Gu Fengchun knows these mysterious and regular characters, without three to five years of painstaking study, it is estimated that trying to understand its content is basically wishful thinking.He let out a long sigh, and asked Zhou Dingxuan, who was more fascinated than him, "Uncle Wrinkle, do you know the characters behind?"
