And I snatched the "Huayang Guozhi" from his arms!
This book was written in the Jin Dynasty and is not famous. It only describes the customs and customs of the Bashu region. "Huayang Guozhi" is divided into twelve volumes, but one of them, "Shu Zhi", clearly states: "When there is a bush of silkworms, and its eyes are vertical, it becomes king."
This means that at that time, a man named Cancong came to Shu. His eyes were very strange, and he was the first to become king here.
I looked overjoyed, this was my first discovery!
Not long after, I found another book called "The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu", which was written by Yang Xiong, a great writer of the Western Han Dynasty. There is a sentence in it that is: The first king of Shu was named Cancong, his descendant was named Baiguan, and the latter was named Cancong. Famous Yufu. Each of these three generations was hundreds of years old, and they were all deified and immortal. Their people also followed the king.
The general meaning of this sentence is that the first king of the ancient Shu Kingdom was called Cancong, his next successor was called Baiguan, and the subsequent ones were called Yufu. These three kings lived for hundreds of years, and finally turned into gods and lived forever. Many people in the ancient Shu Kingdom followed them to the place of gods.
When I saw this, I was suddenly surprised. How could there be people who lived hundreds of years?
Should it use the same exaggeration technique as "The Road to Shu"?
This adds a hint of doubt to the already confusing ancient Shu Kingdom. I still want to find more things. But after I looked through the entire bookcase, except for these two books, all other classics never mentioned the ancient Shu Kingdom or Cancong. It seemed that this country only existed in myths.
I touched the Black Sword Qilin badge in my pocket and finally decided to step into the west building!
Sure enough, the west building was heavily guarded for 20 hours, and I was stopped by two Qilin guards as soon as I stepped out of the elevator. One has a square face and the other has a round face, wearing sunglasses and a serious smile.
Just looking at them, I felt an invisible pressure in my heart.
I could only explain with a blush that it was Lao Jiang who allowed me to come in to search for the documents, and showed me the black sword unicorn badge.
After confirming that it was correct, they were able to let me go.
But he told me with a three-point warning: "Due to the confidentiality principle within the organization, you only have one hour. Remember, no matter whether you can find something or not, you must come out immediately when the time is up!"
I curled my lips, it wasn't me who had the final say when we got in.
As if he knew what I was thinking, the square-faced guard said: "Don't be clever. If you show no signs of coming out at 58 minutes, I will use force."
This courage also takes into account the time it takes to deal with me...
There is no other way, I can only try to use Lao Jiang's face to fight for more.
"Can we give you half an hour more?" I greeted him with a smile.
But the square-faced guard in front of him glanced at his watch sternly: "You have wasted one minute, and now there are 57 minutes left."
"It can't be like this." I immediately became anxious: "Not only do I want to decipher the secrets of the ancient Shu Kingdom, I also want to save people!"
"56 minutes and 50 seconds."
"Damn it, you're so cruel!"
I glared at him fiercely, grabbed the key, and rushed to the archives like the wind.
It seems that I can only leave it to fate whether I can find something within this hour.
The strange thing is that in addition to a key, he also gave me a road map. What's going on? This archive is just a small library, not a mountain?
It turns out that I was still too young. When I opened the door to the archives, I finally understood the meaning of this road map...
The floor is covered with wooden boards, and the western perimeter is empty, except for a huge circular rotating bookshelf in the center.
It can be seen that in addition to being heavily guarded, this core archives also has some anti-theft traps on the ground!
I could only follow the route map to the bookshelf, otherwise I didn’t know whether what greeted me would be spikes in the ground or attacks from crossbow arrows.
An archives looks like a treasure room, and the place where the treasures are placed is even more thrilling.
Soon, I followed the directions on the road map and came to the rotating bookshelf. Each row of bookshelf here was marked with the age of the archives, including Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin and Han, Three Kingdoms, Two Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, etc.
Almost without thinking, I rotated the bookshelf to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and searched carefully from top to bottom. Almost all of them were top-secret notes left by the black sword unicorns of the past generations when they went on missions. After only one night, I opened the bookshelves and discovered the monsters inside. Much to my surprise!
Oh my God, there is an ancient tomb from the Shang Dynasty, and a thousand-year-old turtle is actually buried in its shell.
There is a Western Zhou tomb that requires a ghost ship to enter, and the ghost ship only appears on the seventh day of July.
There is also a general's tomb, which actually houses a group of white-haired female corpses. Once a tomb robber breaks in, they will be strangled to death by countless white hairs.
……
The more I watched, the more shocked I became, and the more I watched, the more fascinated I became!
No, no, I'm not here to see this.
I took a long breath, suppressed my curiosity, and reminded myself again and again that I wanted to look for traces of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and could not continue to waste time on these wonderful tomb robbing scenes.
But after searching around, I discovered a very depressing fact. Black Saber Qilin rarely set foot in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas, as if Xichuan during the Shang Dynasty was really a barren land without any human habitation.
Seeing that there was still half an hour left, I was going crazy. My hands turned faster and faster, and my eyes became more and more sore and painful.
Oh God, God please! Hurry and let the clues appear.
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly glanced at the last file: Yin Xu.
There are two names below: Jiang Donghu and He Lanxue!
A clue previously discovered on the sun bird ring also activated my brain instantly. I remember that I was curious that white jade was not produced in the Xichuan area, but this sun bird ring was made entirely of white jade. At that time, almost all the white jade mines were within the sphere of influence of Dashang, and the texture of this white jade was almost exactly the same as the jade we saw in the tomb of Shang King Wu Ding.
If this is the case, will there be records about the ancient Shu Kingdom in the Yin Ruins?
I immediately pulled out the file, and I could clearly remember the monster mechanisms I encountered earlier. At the back is a thick stack of oracle bone inscriptions. These were intercepted by traditional Chinese medicine shops and tomb robbers when Lao Jiang and I first went to Yinxu. I remember that they almost regarded these precious oracle bone inscriptions as dragon bones. It's used as medicine.
I immediately read these oracle bone inscriptions quickly. When I read the article recording the Shang King Wu Ding's conquest of the West, I suddenly saw a divination: The witch sent the king's master, something happened to Shu!
This probably means that Wu at that time sent a group of elite royal troops to the Kingdom of Shu. It seems to be carrying out some secret mission, but the specifics are not stated.
I guess it was a war.
But there is no description of the purpose of the king's army to attack Shu. The final hexagram only has two words: great evil!
