The seawater soaked in this tomb is surprisingly cold, not as it should be this season. It's even a bit colder than ice water. I was shaking all over from the cold. I found two sticks and made a simple stilt. I also made a stilt for the small bowl and barely walked in the water.
Xiaowan followed behind me, looking at the tomb room steadily, obviously very curious. To be honest, not only was she curious at the time, but I was also curious.
When looking at the shape of this tomb, a picture came to my mind.
The tomb of the Lion Mountain Han Dynasty is very peculiar. During the Han Dynasty, craftsmen dug 17 meters down from the top of the mountain through a patio, and then excavated an underground mausoleum with a total area of more than 850 square meters. A lion mountain was almost hollowed out.
The plug stone used to seal the entire tomb was later excavated. When it was later excavated, I saw a boulder with the cinnabar seal "No. B Xiayang, Dongfang II, Jiandao, 3 feet 9 inches wide and 4 feet and a half inches high." , Huan Zhang Wu Cun". The above line refers to the location of this block of stone. Regardless of its size, it can be guessed that the designer of the tomb at that time has accurately marked the location and size of each block of stone. This shows the construction of tombs in the Western Han Dynasty. The level is high.
I looked up at the top of the tomb, as if it were a karst cave completely cut out of the stone. Except for a tiny crack in the center, there is no trace of piles at all. From that gap, I could vaguely see that this was a cave dug from the top of the mountain.
But I still can't understand that since all the tunnels have been opened up, I still need to dig a hole from the top of the mountain. The creation of these tombs in ancient times never cared about the lives of craftsmen. When the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was completed, Qin II ordered all the craftsmen to be buried alive. I couldn't understand it for a while, so I didn't even think about it!
On the contrary, it was a small bowl. I didn't know the meaning of this tomb, and just shouted from the side: "Brother Xiaoxia, there is a strange atmosphere in this tomb. I feel chilly behind it. It's not easy in this tomb!"
Not only did she feel this weird atmosphere, even I felt it. As soon as I came in, I met that boy who had a golden body, and I encountered such a strange formation here again, which made my whole person bad.
It is said to be an ancient tomb, and there are no funeral objects, and even the coffin is not very visible. In addition, the seawater was poured in, and the smell in the dust was sealed for thousands of years, and the smell inside was very strange. But something even more surprising happened to me, there is actually a stone monument in it! And it's still Chinese characters.
Stone steles are available in all countries, because other writing media are easily destroyed over time. Only this kind of thing can be preserved for thousands of years. As long as it is not deliberately destroyed or exposed to the sun, it will not be left for tens of thousands of years. It will be too problematic. Only important or formal articles in ancient times will be preserved. The stele in the tomb must be a biography or epitaph.
With the ins and outs of the stone tomb chamber, it can basically be explained clearly. Who the hell still looks at the murals.
This stone tablet may be because the ancient tomb has water, so the environment is humid. There is no dust on it, and the entire tomb is out of the cave. So in general, the text on the stone tablet is pretty good, at least look at it. It is not too difficult.
I probably took a look at this stele, and I was a little surprised...
I reined in it. At first glance, I thought it was a Chinese character. When the fucking approached me, I didn't know anything! !
This is not the legendary Khitan small print? The Khitan small character is a unique Khitan script, which mainly uses phonetic symbols similar to the radicals of Chinese characters to spell the Khitan vocabulary. In most cases, a phonetic symbol represents a single syllable formed by a combination of a vowel and a consonant, so in general, Khitan small characters are more like a syllable text. At present, Khitan small print has been able to recognize about 50%-60%. Since the amount of original text data of the existing Khitan small print is not large, the research progress is not very fast. According to historical records, the small Khitan script was created by Yelu Diela (the younger brother of Yelu Abaoji) around 95 AD, inspired by the Uyghur script. In addition to the small Khitan characters, the Khitan people also created the Qidan big characters to write the Khitan language. Qidan large characters and small Qidan characters, these two characters were used in parallel in the history of Khitan.
It seems that this tomb is still a product of the Khitan people's inevitable!
According to historical records, after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan people disappeared. So, where did the millions of Khitan people go? The historians speculate that there are roughly three possibilities:
First, the Khitan people living in the ancestral land of Qidan gradually forgot their ethnic origin and merged with other ethnic groups.
Second, after the demise of Xiliao, most of the Khitans in Mobei migrated west to the Kerman region of Iran and were completely Islamized.
Third, after the outbreak of the Jin-Mongolian War, some of the Khitans who "would not eat golden millet" took refuge in Mongolia, and scattered all over the country when they fought with the Mongolian army.
In another case, they fled all the way to Southeast Asia through Yunnan, and then took a boat to settle in the South Pacific. Although this speculation is not recognized by the academic community, many tribes on the islands of the South Pacific have stories similar to the origin of the Khitan people.
To be honest, although I am proficient in many words, I can't understand the words on this tombstone at all.
Bai was happy for a while, it is estimated that he can only continue to see the murals over there!
I also saw the mural. From the costumes above, it should be the costumes of the late Khitan. The owner of the tomb may be a Xianbei who lived in the Liao Dynasty or even the Dongdan period!
Not to mention, such a research, I really have some gains!
Xiao Puxian, the empress of Liao Tianzuo, sent Yelu Dashi to guard Juyongguan, the place where Jin Bing attacked the swallows. She wanted to keep the last bloodline of Daliao, and entrusted her to her nephew Yelu Dashi. It was this Yelu Dashi that led the remnants of Khitan to cross the desert and yellow sands and established the "Xiliao Kingdom" in Central Asia, thousands of miles away.
Xiao Puxian retired from the Song army to the south and rejected the Jinbing to the north. She used her immature shoulders to support the tens of thousands of catties of the dying rivers and mountains of the Liao Dynasty. She stood in the bloody sunset at the head of Nanjing, rekindling hope in the hearts of the desperate Khitan people, and the blood of the Da Liao who fought for dignity reopened in her veins!
Soon after, Xiao Puxian was defeated and died. However, according to the meaning of this mural, she did not die, but could not escape all the way, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Song Dynasty sea boats. Escaped here and established a small country. I understand why there is such a tomb in such a remote place!
After reading this, I basically know who this tomb belongs to. It should be the tomb of the last empress Xiao Puxian, and a generation of heroines finally escaped overseas. Sad, sigh!
I talked about this to Xiaowan, and got up and prepared to look for the door leading to the next tomb, but I didn’t expect to have just walked a few steps, and the burial objects next to it collapsed. A black figure emerged from the pile of funeral objects!
Fraud? !
I was taken aback. My first reaction at that time was that there was dirt hidden in the tomb. It may be because of the long time I have been in this line. I even had an instinctive reaction, waiting for the figure to just drill. When I came out, I drew out the Qing Ming Sword with just one click. At the moment when I pulled out the Qing Ming Sword, a stilt fell down. I couldn't stand firmly and fell into the water. , With a plop, half of his body fell into the water. I fell down and the dog chewed on the mud. I only felt two soft things, so I just listened!
"what!!!"
A female scream high in decibels suddenly sounded, and the figure actually spoke: "It's me! I finally found you!"
To be honest, I fell too hard just now, and I haven't reacted so far. Both hands are still on the two things. At this time, they reacted suddenly, and then they turned their hands. The whole person was embarrassed. Listening to her speaking, she didn't mean to blame, so I put the Qing Mingjian down.
I was also shocked out of a cold sweat. I stepped on the stilts again and couldn't help asking her: "Who are you? How come you are in such a place!"
"I... I don't know how I got in!"
The girl in the dark cried and said, "I was here as soon as I woke up, you will help me!" After a while, the voice suddenly burst into tears, "It's me! It's me, you will never forget it." Me?" (to be continued) (end of this chapter)
