The off-road vehicle was speeding across the endless wilderness of Ali, and the sun thorns above their heads were dazzled. Due to the sudden heavy rain a few days ago, the whole world was filled with a kind of wet moisture.
Sitting in the car, looking at the light and shadow passing by the window, I felt a sense of insignificance inexplicably in my heart. For the first time, I personally learned about the efficiency of this new Chongping Mansion!
That night, I used Jiuxing to reveal the content of the message to Sun Yong. The next evening, Sun Yong put a copy of the information in front of me!
That document is full of various legends and relics related to the eyes, from ancient times to modern times, from the Central Plains to the frontiers, and even includes a lot of foreign corresponding materials!
After I flipped through it, I felt my head was as big as a drum. After listing a few items that were excluded from the search, I threw all the tasks to Wenfang and the others!
Wenfang and the others were also very efficient. After three hours of careful selection, they finally locked their target on one of the materials-Ancient Shu Kingdom!
"Ancient Shu Kingdom?" I was surprised when I heard it, "Isn't that something in the myth?"
Wen Fang shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The ancient Shu Kingdom is real and has a long history. There are legends in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It is said that it was founded by the ancestor of the Shu people, Can Cong!"
"And this Silkworm Cong is even more powerful! Perhaps not many people have heard of his name in Central Plains, but in Shu it is tied with the early sages of Suiren and Shennong! The most famous nurturing in Shu. Silkworms and stone coffins were the earliest inventions he invented... In short, there are too many legends on this man. I will store the relevant information on your phone later, and you can study it yourself!"
"Now, let's talk about this ancient Shu country first! The reason why I finally locked my goal here is precisely because the ancient Shu country was the first country to worship the eyes! What's even more strange is that the time when the ancient Shu country existed was just right. It was at the same time as the ancient Mayan country in the West, and this country also has an almost obsessive worship of the eyes!"
When Wen Fang said this, he suddenly shook his head, pointed to the footer position, and chuckled: "It's a long way to go. In the information provided by Sun Yong, it is obvious that someone has targeted the ancient Shu Kingdom!"
"Look at this footer, it is clear that someone has left some comments! But that person may not be very sure. So he erased the remaining footnotes and let Sun Yong show us! This is why I , Another reason to finally focus on the ancient Shu Kingdom!"
I squinted my eyes and discerned it carefully. Sure enough, at the bottom of this document, there were many shallow pen prints, and I cursed depressedly: "Those people are so fucking minded, and I have already guessed it. What's the matter, I don't want to say it again! It's just not as kind as we are!"
Wen Fang smiled irritably, then took out another photo and handed it to me, saying: "Don't be discouraged for now. Fortunately, Sun Yong gave us these materials! Otherwise, you just go straight to that person's thoughts. , In the end it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be exhausted!"
While talking, Wen Fang motioned me to look at the photo and said, "Look, the bronze figure above, are the eyes weird?"
I looked down. The photo Wen Fang gave was a bronze statue with only a close-up of the head. His face was thin, his expression was dignified, and his ears were pierced. It is probably used to wear earrings; lips are tightly closed and the corners of the mouth are facing. Tilt down, look dull and serious!
But what makes me the strangest thing is that the eyes of this bronze figure have only one seam, and the inside seems to be deliberately hollowed out, which looks very hollow!
I scratched my scalp, and after a few glances, I felt that I was a little unnatural. I turned my head awkwardly, and said, "This, this thing is quite abstract, it looks like a voyeur at first glance! But it is also true. It can be said that, after all, people are something thousands of years ago! At that time, maybe the aesthetics was different from that of our modern people, and the productivity was not good. Bronze could be made out, that, that was already very powerful... "
Wen Fang seemed to see my thoughts, took the photo back, and said to me: "Why are there no three sentences? The bronze statue in this photo, some scholars in the archaeological community believe that it is ancient Shu The statue of the first king of China, Cancong! This Cancong is said to be born with vertical eyes!"
"Vertical eyes, that is, the two eyes have no pupils, and the eyeballs protrude high outwards, showing two cylindrical shapes, which can be seen in all directions!"
"It is said that Silkworm Cong is born with vertical eyes. When you open your eyes, you can see everything that happens between the world and the earth. When you close your eyes, it will become like this. There is only a shallow gap in the eyes, and the bottom is like an abyss!"
"Some folklore speaks of Can Cong as a god. His eyes have terrible power. Opening his eyes represents'evil', while closing his eyes represents'good'..."
I imagined in my mind the kind of "long-eye" situation mentioned by Hanfang, raised my hand a little nervously, touched my eyelids, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Wenfang, how come the more I listen, the more I feel You seem to be talking about a big crab again? The eyeballs can still run out of the eye sockets, which is really incredible!"
"But, let's come back again! This buddy Can Cong is pitiful enough, according to what you said, if he wants to have a bang with his wife, wouldn't he have to close his eyes?"
Wen Fang was a little annoyed, hit me hard, and snarled: "I said you, do you want to listen? Do you need to worry about other people's affairs?"
I hurriedly raised my hand to surrender, and said, "Don't don't don't, I want to hear it! You go on and say..."
Wen Fang glared at me fiercely, then opened her mouth and suddenly stamped her feet: "It's all to blame on you, where did I just say it?"
I am suffocating a smile, just a little reminder!
Wen Fang frowned, reorganized the language, and continued: "It's just that this statement is a legend and has not been recognized by the academic world! There are too many disputes about the bronze statues unearthed in the ancient Shu Kingdom! But there is one thing. But it is undeniable that the original blueprint of these bronze statues was the ancestor of the Shu people, Can Cong!"
"And the place you are looking for this time is not the ancient Shu Kingdom that has long since disappeared in the dust of history, but the legendary tomb where Can Cong and his wife are buried together!"
Suddenly, I was a little confused, and raised my hand and said, "Wait for a while, I can't understand it! Didn't you mean looking for the ancient Shu country? Why did you run to the man and his wife again? Still a tomb? I can warn you that we are the greatest expedition and decryption workers in the new century, not tomb thieves who burrow into the ground!"
Wen Fang was repeatedly interrupted by me, lazily rebutting, and said to himself: "I have said that the relics left by the ancient Shu kingdom have either been unearthed or disappeared under the wind erosion of history! You simply Unable to find an ancient city that does not exist, however, the tombs of Can Cong and his wife have never been found!"
"Since Ah Da will leave you a message, it is enough to show that the ancient city where he wants you to find the eyes must exist!"
"In a sense, Can Cong is synonymous with the ancient Shu Kingdom!"
"The worship of the eyes of the ancient Shu kingdom originated from him! In his capacity, the scale of the tomb where he was buried must be large. According to the rules of the ordinary royal tombs, it also coincides with the concept of the ancient city!"
After Wen Fang's analysis of empathy, I understood her a little bit, but where is the tomb of Can Cong? This has become a new problem that we urgently need to solve!
On this issue, Wen Fang gave me very poor advice. She was able to deduce the true goal of our trip, which has already consumed a lot of mind!
At this moment, quite a bit exhausted, Jiang Lang said: "I don't know about this! There are many Cancong Temples in Bashu area, but no one has ever found the tomb where Cancong rests! I think you should start from Silkworm. Cong’s wife thought about it, maybe their tomb is not in Shu!"
When I heard this, I said that Wenfang is really weird! A dignified king, the ancestor of Shu, would not be buried in his own one-third of acre after he died. Could it be possible that he went to the north to rent with Qin Shihuang? This is unreasonable. At that time, Qin Shihuang and his ancestor had not yet been born in Cancong!
I wanted to ask a few more questions, but Wen Fang was impatient with me, grabbed a broom from behind the door, and drove people up... (End of this chapter)
