Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 138 Great Ancient Shu Kingdom

"These murals should describe Cancong's life." Yazai explained after scanning briefly.

I walked to the wall and stood still, pointing to the first image where everyone was still wearing animal skins and said, "This should be the beginning of the ancient Shu kingdom!"

Yazai nodded to me, so the two of us started from the first mural and studied it slowly.

The content in the first picture is very simple. These people wear animal skins, eat wild animals, and live in caves at night. They have not even invented fire, and the whole tribe lives in the battle with tigers and wolves.

The communication between them still uses sign language. Although thousands of years have passed, we can understand sign language strangely, but their communication is very simple, nothing more than basic needs such as hunting and spouse.

"This looks like the life of a savage." Yazai sighed.

I said kindly: "It is said that the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom lived in caves, which is also true."

The next two murals in a row are all about their life of ruthlessness and blood, because they have never seen the world outside the mountains, so they think this kind of life is very good.

Until one day, a young man with a white silkworm on his shoulder came to the tribe. No one knew where he came from, but the white silkworm on this man's shoulder seemed very special.

"This person should be Cancong, right?" I pointed to the young man in Tsing Yi, "And this silkworm should be a blood silkworm."

Yazai nodded: "I didn't expect that there is no record of the origin of Can Cong. Could it be that the legend about him being an alien is true?"

"No, his appearance is the same as the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Could it be that the entire ancient Shu Kingdom is an alien? Don't you think about the traffic environment that was 5000 years ago. They might be separated by a mountain. I don’t know, but Can Cong should be the people from other tribes not far away.” I shook my head hastily, the idea of ​​aliens is too ridiculous.

Yazai shrugged and did not speak, and continued to translate.

The next image was that people from all tribes gathered around Cancong, looking at the beautiful green clothes on his body.

"He should be wearing silk, which is a treasure for these savages wearing animal skins." I clicked on the video, and the enthusiasm on the faces of those people was like seeing the latest weapons.

Yazai pointed to the next painting and said, "It seems that Can Cong came to this tribe to teach them how to weave."

He was right. There was a simple loom in front of Can Cong. While weaving, he turned his head and said something. He should be teaching these savages how to weave.

The giant silkworm was lying at his feet, spitting silk from its mouth, and the silkworm clump could be said to be inexhaustible!
The last one of this image is a grand celebration. People of all tribes are dressed in silk. Although it still looks simple, it is much better than animal skins. For these savages, it is a heaven and an earth.

But Can Cong was not satisfied with this. He liked research very much. Besides weaving, he discovered that giant silkworms could reproduce, so he tried various methods to raise silkworms. I found the leaves that the tussah silkworms ate, and slowly raised the silkworms.

With the technology of raising silkworms, their silk can not only be used for their own tribe, Cancong also took some strong men of the tribe to trek through mountains and rivers, to the nearest slightly civilized area, and exchanged silk as coins for commodities. A lot of food that the tribesmen have never eaten, and some supplies.

But the journey was not peaceful. There were many wild beasts in the deep mountains. They encountered many attacks on the way down the mountain. With their perseverance and the help of the blood silkworms around Cancong, they only lost one or two people.

But the most frightening thing is not these wild beasts. They traded a lot of things back to the tribe, but they were spotted by the so-called civilized people and followed them quietly, trying to steal their skills.

Even though there were blood silkworms, the blood silkworms at that time had not yet matured and were not as powerful as they are now, so the group could be said to fight their way through these civilized people wearing armor and holding sharp knives.

A total of thirteen warriors went down the mountain, and only three of them returned to the tribe protecting Cancong and Blood Silkworm.

The tribe held a tragic sacrifice, and named these warriors protecting the silkworms heroes as heroes!
With this bloody lesson, Can Cong was silent for a while, hiding in the cave for four or five months, and when he came out, he invented a bow and arrow with barbs, which not only had a longer range, but also a greater lethality.

However, he was not in a hurry to go down the mountain again, but selected a group of people to train martial arts and archery skills.

These people hunted for a living all year round, and their skills were good, but they had no systematic training, and they could not give full play to their strengths. After Cancong's training, their combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one level.

During this period, the women of the tribe had already produced enough silk, all of which were woven into cloth and handed over to the group of reborn men.

Sure enough, those so-called civilized people surrounded him again, but they were beaten to the point of bleeding. After doing this several times, these civilized people could only exchange things obediently.

Over time, the people of the tribe gradually lived a relatively affluent life by virtue of their weaving skills, and began to stay away from barbarism and gradually approach civilization.

The tribesmen highly respected Cancong, and because he often wore Tsing Yi, they honored him as the "God of Tsing Yi". Even the blood silkworm became a sacred object of the tribe, second only to Cancong.

Can Cong led them out of poverty, gradually developed their power, and gathered people from several surrounding tribes together.

Their power grew stronger and stronger. Cancong began to be dissatisfied with the life in the mountains, and the people of the tribe were also full of longing for the life outside, so Cancong gained a foothold in the Chengdu Plain by using his ability to raise silkworms. people settled down.

At first they were just unknown people, but because of the tribe's absolute worship of Cancong, they were not subject to local control, and had many conflicts with local forces.

After tribal discussions, they decided to develop their own power and not submit to other small countries.

Since they have integrated many fighters from the deep mountains, they are not much weaker than those small countries.Cancong came up with an idea, he would teach the weaving method to anyone who was willing to join them, but in order to prevent some people from harboring evil intentions, so he did not teach all of them, but he could give a cloth as compensation.

Weaving was considered a high technology at the time, and many people wanted silkworms for the cloth they wore, but most of them could not afford to change it.Hearing that Cancong not only teaches skills but also gives clothes to commoners, many people responded. Although it has gone through hardships, it is gradually able to check and balance the local small country.

Seeing that they were threatened, the local small country naturally refused to accept it, and began to raise the butcher's knife, and Can Cong successfully overthrew them.

The ancient Shu Kingdom was born under such circumstances...

On that day, all the people of the ancient Shu kingdom cheered happily. Cancong stood on a high place with blood silkworms, enjoying the worship of his subjects. From that moment on, he became the king of the ancient Shu kingdom, leading them to live a more prosperous life. Life.

It can be said that all the above are normal, but it is a story of a king leading a tribe to develop. From this, it can be seen that Can Cong is indeed an extraordinary person, who forcibly turned a savage tribe living deep in the mountains into civilization. nation.

It is very difficult to build a country, not to mention that this country has existed for a long time.

But the image quickly turned around!
