Just when Yuan Zai transformed into a courier boy and was preparing to import a new batch of Hong-style equipment to the Central Plains, the group of "ancient explorers" sent by the Di Hong family a long time ago had dug several large graves in succession. .
It was because of a mobilization by the Dihong clan that they were told that these giant tombs must contain super-ancient iron smelting technology, so this group of people lived and ate in the open, digging from the Gobi desert to the mountains and rivers. In this era Among the huge tombs, there are only eight of the ancient nine mounds. However, only leaders of large tribes can have tombs of this level, such as being buried in the mountains and fields, and having an exclusive tomb in a single courtyard.
How should I put it? At least the leader of this large tribe must be an important minister of the Central Plains, or someone who can call himself a "king" in a region. With a population of more than 40,000 to 50,000, it must be basically a state, so that it can have the capital to dig. Those huge graves.
Of course, in addition to these privately customized tombs at the royal tomb level, there are also public dormitory-type tombs. The most famous ones are those of the ancient Xiaohe people in the Lop Nur area. During the period of Dayu's flood control, Lop Nur was called "Youze" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. , also known as the "Sea of Puchang". At this time, there is an abundance of water and grass, a vast ocean, and thousands of miles of waves like undulating mountains.
These ancient Xiaohe people lived probably eight hundred years back from the present period. Their public cemetery was completely excavated in later generations, with a total of 167 graves.
Those who cannot afford private accommodation can only be buried in public cemeteries within the clan. Fortunately, there is a lot of land in this era, and the custom of burial has not yet become a common culture in the world. For example, most people in the Western Wilderness and some people in Lingnan Tribes, in some lands, still practice the practice of scattering the ashes of loved ones into the sky after cremation, and calling the person a filial son.
At the same time, there are still some of the oldest hanging coffin makers, that is, some Pu tribes among the Hundred Pu people. They call this burial method sky burial... As long as your feet do not touch the ground, you will ascend to heaven.
Among the garbage men under Di Hong's clan, the leading figure was a leader of the "Meng Yi clan", who was highly regarded by Di Hong. When Chonghua was driving back to Taotang, he once tried to stop the car in the middle of the road, but the result was that Got slapped by Chonghua...
Meng Yi's family, in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is "Meng Yi attacked Zhuan Xu's Pond".
That is to say, once near a huge lake, the Meng Yi clan attacked the Gaoyang clan led by Zhuan Xuduo. Needless to say, the result was that the Gaoyang clan won. This matter belongs to the "Great Wild West Classic"... .
The leading man, Meng Yi, was once a exile. The so-called exile is a person who was exiled.
When the Four Emperors rebelled, the Gao Yang family found them and roped them in to fight against Yao Chonghua. They also said that once the Four Emperors became leaders, their past criminal records would be immediately revoked, and songs would be written and praised on the spot, and temporary workers would be directly promoted to full-time employees.
The Meng Yi clan once stood in the Kanghui camp and was the main force in attacking Emperor Zhuanxu, but was defeated and exiled.
I heard about the MLM protection of the Four Emperors before, and I slapped my thigh on the spot, saying that I must live a good life this time, and let Zhuanxu and Emperor Ku's descendants roll down from that supreme position!
Then the Four Emperors lost and rolled away.
Damn it, get out of here!
The leader of the Mengyi clan wiped the sweat from his head. It was now autumn and he had been picking up garbage for more than a year or two. He dug holes every day and couldn't remember the day. He forgot when he went out. .
But for so long, he dug holes outside and didn't dig out anything good.
Leader of the Mengyi clan: "It is said that the Yellow Emperor has the sword of Xuanyuan and the bow of Wuhao; Shaohao has the bow of pushing death; Zhuanxu has the bell of Teng Yingjian and the floating gold; Emperor Ku has the feather of Shen Ming... ."
Subordinate A: "Leader, stop talking. We have been digging for a year and a half, but we haven't seen any artifacts, only bones of dead people that even a pair of dogs can't chew."
Long Tao Yi: "You are right. These leaders look very poor at first glance. They only carry some pottery and occasionally some jade with them when they die, and the quality is not very good."
Passerby C: "This time we finally found Kunwu Hill according to the manuscript of Emperor Hong Dasha, but..."
Kunwu Hill is the only sacred hill that Dihong knows the coordinates of. Although it is called Kunwu Hill, it seems to have nothing to do with the Kunwu family. The name of the Kunwu family may refer to Kunwu Hill...
"Shiyi Ji" records that Kunwu Mountain has a lot of red gold under it, and its color is like fire. Legend has it that in the past when the Yellow Emperor conquered Chiyou, Chen soldiers dug up hundreds of feet of land here. No springs were seen, but countless fires were seen, burning brightly like stars. There were many alchemy stones in the ground. These stones could be smelted into bronze. These coppers The color of the vessel is green and very sharp. The color of the spring on this mountain is red. The vegetation in the mountain is strong and sharp, and the soil is hard and sharp.
Yes, the bunch of rubbish guys under Di Hong did find the legendary Daye Army Field where Huang Emperor Chen Bing lived. Although they did not find the 100-foot-deep pit dug by Huang Emperor, they could not wait to dig graves from Kunwu Mountain. ...
Kunwu means fire. Legend has it that in the ancient times, after the earliest three emperors, the first human king who called himself Zhu Rong was buried here. Of course, this is just a local legend.
This bunch of rubbish guys researched some issues very carefully... They found a businessman from a certain tribe, and then he gave them a good talk for an hour, and then forced them to buy some local products. Vulcan souvenirs.
"Shameless Xihuangren!"
Thinking of this, the leader of the Mengyi clan's eyes turned red. The things the old man sold at the stall were not the kind of alchemy produced in Kunwuqiu that was refined into copper, but the ones he made himself with cinnabar. Fake and shoddy products!
They went back to look for the old man, but he had already run away without a trace, so Meng Yi thought that he might have met an expert. Generally, old men are not so agile.
Forget it, I'll take a loss and remember it better.
I just didn’t expect that the location given by the old man was actually Kunwuqiu!
The leader of the Mengyi clan suddenly understood again!
This is definitely an expert, he is giving guidance to these lost sheep!
[Subordinate A: If you sell fake goods and run away, you will gain wisdom from the experience. If you get a bargain, it will be the test of the master...]
But the nature of Kunwu Qiu and its sturdiness... After working for two hours, this group of people fell into deep confusion when they saw the stone pickaxes that had been broken more than a dozen times in their hands, and even a few copper pickaxes. deep meditation.
Can't dig.
Not only could it not be dug, but the equipment was also damaged.
Look at the Kunwu hill again. Once the grass on it is burned and a dozen centimeters of mud is peeled off, the bottom becomes shiny, as if polished, emitting an indestructible light.
“So, how can we dig that mountain?”
"I'm thinking, if you need to smelt iron, you can dig it with an iron pickaxe."
"So how do you make iron?"
"Mining..."
A bunch of trash guys suddenly felt that their lives had come to an end, and they went through all the troubles to find Kunwu Hill. However, the ground in this shabby place was as solid as gold and iron, and the spring water was red. I don't know if it was blood or rust, but it couldn't be done. drink.....
"Either no one is buried in this place, and if someone is buried, it must be a very vicious person!"
"Why did the leader say this?"
"Think about it, only a very fierce person would bury him on such solid ground and burn him with Kunwu's flames. This is because he is afraid that he will rise up and cause chaos again."
"Oh, that makes sense! I heard that there is a thing called Xingtian in the Western Wilderness, which is the giant who was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. After he died, he jumped up on the spot, brandished his ax and shield, and continued to challenge the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi buried his head under Changyang Mountain, so he could only stay in the Changyang Mountain area..."
Kunwu Hill is located to the east of the Kuanji Mountain area, where the sun reaches noon. Huainan Zizhong said that when the sun reaches the top of Kunwu Hill, it is noon of the day.
Kuangji Mountain is the mountain where the sun and moon enter. If you practice on the top of Kuangji Mountain, you can see all the tracks of the sun from rising to far away in a day. It is a place where "the sky rises at sunset".
Therefore, these garbage guys have basically arrived in northern Shaanxi.
At this time, they mentioned the Yellow Emperor, and someone's heart suddenly moved!
"leader!"
Passerby C (irritability starts from the heart, evil comes from courage): "Chief, we are only twenty days away from Qiaoshan. With our feet, we can grab a small tribe and replenish food, and then go to Qiaoshan. Mountain, I’m afraid it won’t take more than two ten days, one ten days may be enough.”
The leader of the Mengyi clan was suddenly shocked: "You boy, do you really want to dig the Yellow Emperor's Qiaoshan tomb?"
The subordinate suddenly laughed strangely: "Didn't the great witch Emperor Hong just want to let us dig the Yellow Emperor's tomb? He was just afraid that the Yellow Emperor's old tribe would wander around and be attacked by those people. We can't dig blatantly, but we can dig tunnels. , passing through the underground."
"We have been digging for more than a year now. We have dug more than a dozen large tombs. Now that we are skilled in our skills, we can carefully avoid the inspections of the Yellow Emperor's old troops... .. Chief, we can’t dig up Kunwu Mountain. If we don’t do something big, we won’t be able to explain it when we go back.”
The leader of the Meng Yi clan suddenly frowned, but he did not ponder for too long. After thinking about it, he had to be fully prepared. Now that he is here, although he is afraid of being caught by those Huang Di's old men, people live to pick up garbage. ....
Moreover, the tombs of this era did not have any mechanism or anything like that. The best thing to do is to take some protective measures from the outside world. For example, there are four big snakes near Zhuanxu’s tomb, guarding Zhuanxu’s tomb from the four directions of southeast, northwest, and perhaps those four snakes. It was Zhuanxu’s pet back then...
This is to use powerful strange beasts to defend against it. The ancient emperors have realized that if they bring something to lie in the mud, maybe there will be some crazy tribes in the future, regardless of moral taboos, and forcefully open the door. box......
Just do what they say, this bunch of garbage guys made a fairly thorough plan, and then started to head towards the Yellow Emperor's tomb. The location of the Yellow Emperor's tomb in Qiaoshan will be familiar to future generations... .It is in Yan'an.
After a long journey, the garbage guys have entered the area where Huang Di's old tribes lived. At that time, Huang Di had twenty-five children and countless ministers, including some of Chi You and Yan Di's old tribes who had migrated over. This area Not deserted, but full of life.
Of course, not all of those old tribes have stayed here for generations. Due to changes in the climate and environment, they will migrate to Shanxi, Henan, and near the Weishui River, and to the Central Plains. Therefore, the number of tribes staying here today is no longer what it was three hundred years ago. Before, but still a lot.
A group of trash guys started digging tunnels to avoid the attention of people from Huang Di's old tribe.
Brothers, persevere, start recording videos today, dig the first shovel...
What surprised them was that it actually only took three days from excavation to digging the cavity. On the third day, a large space suddenly appeared in the dark tunnel. Because the tunnel was slanted, Downward, it is estimated that the approximate location is about 20 meters underground. This distance is not too close to the ground, but it is not very far either.
There are certainly no bricks in the empty cave from this period, but the appearance already looks a bit like a cave dwelling.
The dark empty cave had no firelight or lamp oil that would light up automatically. A few people pried open some solid grass cubes on the mud walls. These grass cubes seemed to have been fired using special methods. Some of them looked like The original mud bricks fired by the Chengjiu clan have good sturdiness and defense, and are immune to water immersion.
