Chapter 18 017/ Mural II

After reading the eight murals, Lei found a corner in the stone room and sat down cross-legged. As soon as he sat down, Lei realized that his stomach was protesting like a drum beating. Doing the math, he climbed down from the excavation pit of Sheep No. 10, and has not eaten for a full twelve hours until now after seeing the murals. No wonder he was so hungry. Lei took out a green box from his backpack, which contained two days' worth of dry food. The so-called dry food is nothing more than terribly hard biscuits, and then attach a few packs of cheap jam bags. Lei is not a person who pursues appetite, but he also has to admit that if he is not at the bottom of such a hole where he can't see his fingers, he will never eat this dry food that tastes like soap.

Lei ate five or six yuan of dry food in one go, eliminating the hunger in his stomach, and then he sat cross-legged to meditate, dispelling the tiredness of his body bit by bit with the circulation of air flow in his body. Looking at the nose with the eyes and the heart with the nose, Dr. Lei's breath gradually lengthened and entered the deepest part of consciousness. At the same time, the stories of the eight murals played in Lei's mind one scene after another like a silent movie. Mrs. Ray, is this second course delicious?The man smiled slightly and asked gently. good!This beef is delicious, the fat melts in your mouth, it's delicious!Lian took a mouthful, and the delicious and rich aroma of gravy spread out in her mouth with a sound. Lian only felt that at this moment, she was so happy that she could forget everything.

Yeah?As long as you like it.The man still kept that inscrutable smile, watching Lian. Well, it seems a little rude to ask this question now, but what should I call you?Lian was halfway through eating, and suddenly raised her head and asked. Me, my friends call me Uncle Jian.The man smiled, if you don't mind, please call me Uncle Jian too. Why is Uncle Jian called Uncle Jian?Lian thought for a while, because are you good at using swords?Chinese sword or Western sword? Because I love swords, I am crazy about swords, in fact, I should be called sword idiots, but those friends respect my age and call me Uncle Jian.The man said, as for whether I am good at using swords or not, I can answer this question for you. First of all, I don’t know how to use swords, and I have no interest in Western swords. I love Chinese swords, especially ancient swords, especially those that are old in Spring and Autumn Swords of the Warring States Period.The swords of that period were mainly bronze and red iron, simple and tough.To be honest, I think the sword casting technology after the Warring States Period, even after thousands of years of improvement, is still inferior to the swords of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Love Jian Cheng Chi, Lian looked at the man in front of her, and felt a strange feeling of anger in her heart, although it didn't disappear, but because of hearing the word "Jian Chi", she developed a complex feeling towards this man named Uncle Jian. This feeling seems to be sympathy and sadness, more like knowing him for a long time Uncle Jian, um, it should be alright if I call you that?My husband is also a man who loves ancient swords, you may be able to make friends, and you have collected so many ancient relics, my husband is an archaeologist, he will definitely like you even more!

Mr. Ray?Uncle Jian smiled, I have seen him before. ah?Lian was startled, you have seen my husband. Yes.Uncle Jian stroked the goatee on his chin, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because your husband got a pair of good swords recently, so I went to visit him specially. ah!You know about it!Lian was a little surprised. He thought that the unearthing of the twin swords was absolutely confidential. He didn't expect that the man in front of him, who was so well-informed, would know about it. Yes, I talked to your husband, hoping to take a look at the two swords, but unfortunately I was rejected.Uncle Jian frowned, his mouth was flattened, and he deliberately made an exaggerated sad expression.

It’s not his fault. His archaeological team seems to be uneasy recently, and is often harassed by criminal groups, um, but you are also considered a criminal group, because you kidnapped me Hehe, if I kidnap you, I have to treat you to a big meal, order top-quality sandalwood for you, and be ridiculed by you, isn’t that good? This is good.Lian grinned, bright and charming, but I really don't know what your real purpose is, which makes people feel uneasy. As for the purpose, Uncle Jian smiled, in fact, there are still some. Say it!Lian raised the fork forward and asked the man jokingly.Why did you kidnap this girl?

Here's the thing, Mrs. Ray.Uncle Jian suddenly lowered his voice, put his mouth close to Lian's ear, and said softly, do you believe in past lives? ah?previous life!When Lian heard it, she couldn't help but yelled out. In Lei's meditation, his mind is clear, and all the trivial things are out of his mind. It is the best state to think about the eight murals. The first four murals undoubtedly describe the story of the generals and Mo Xie in the Spring and Autumn Period. This part has been recorded in detail in the long-standing Chinese mythology, so Lei connected these stories together without any effort. stand up.

It is mainly the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth murals that arouse Lei's curiosity. The fifth mural depicts General Guo Ziyi during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan Jiedu envoy, a young man carrying a Moye sword, and a Taoist priest of unknown origin. This painting shows one thing, that is, the two swords are related to the Anshi Rebellion. As for what role the twin swords played, Lei really couldn't see anything just by looking at the murals. In the sixth painting, two lovers are in love with each other. The two swords wandered apart for more than a thousand years, and finally reunited in the hands of the couple.In this painting, whether it is a person or a sword, they all reveal happiness that makes people smile.

In the seventh picture, it is the lovers who slashed at each other with two swords, which caused a violent explosion. This explosion killed many people on the battlefield. Miraculously, this is exactly in line with Lian's dream. Lei often heard Lian say that she has a very strange intuition.On this point, Lei, who pays attention to rational thinking, always smiled and did not argue with her, but said: A woman's sixth sense is born for men!However, Lei had to admit at this moment that Lian's sixth sense this time was a little too terrifyingly accurate. He thought, maybe there really is a past life memory, or something similar to telepathy, such as soul, fate, etc. Although Lei thought of this part, he didn't intend to think too much about it.Because he knew that time was running out, and inferences like this that needed time to discuss and prove, just left the excavation pit of Sheep No. 10 and studied them slowly.

In the eighth and last painting, Guo Ziyi personally led the officers and soldiers. Thousands of soldiers worked hard to build this sword tomb and sealed the double swords in the tomb. A long sleep of a thousand years. The last painting solved a great doubt in Lei's heart, that is, who built this sword mound? The scale of this sword mound is huge, deep and wide, and the constructors even inserted thousands of ancient swords into the pit wall. For such a huge project, Lei should have guessed that if it hadn't been for a general like Guo Ziyi who had used state-level It is very difficult to achieve military power.

Moreover, it is easier for a general like Guo Ziyi to obtain ten thousand broken swords than others.After all, Taiyuan is a battlefield, and during the Anshi Rebellion, there were turmoil and wars everywhere. There must be a lot of weapons damaged in large and small battles. Guo Ziyi only needs to collect the weapons on the battlefield.Well, it is more likely that these broken swords were all left after the defeat of An Lushan. The so-called military disasters.Where there are weapons, there will be disasters of war, and once the disasters of war start, they will continue continuously.Guo Ziyi's sword mound, which buried tens of thousands of ancient swords in the ground, is also a good way to reduce the disaster of war and ensure the peace of the country. However, there is still one point that is difficult to explain. Why did Guo Ziyi build such a huge stone gate, on which are painted the mighty Kui beast and the lovebirds that live and fly together in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in order to suppress the double swords inside the stone gate?Or are you trying to leave a message? Lei continued to think about Guo Ziyi's life. The greatest achievement of Guo Ziyi's life was, of course, during the Anshi Rebellion, in the Taiyuan area, he defeated the Anlushan army with a few, defended the Taiyuan battlefield, and won the chance for the Tang Dynasty to stand up. It can even be said that if there was no Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty, our Chinese history would probably have to be rewritten. As for how Guo Ziyi defended Taiyuan?Most historians believe that the most important part is the help of foreign Huihe troops.The other part is that Guo Ziyi used his soldiers like a god and respected the corporals, so the whole army was willing to fight for him, so he wrote such great achievements. Finally, there is another saying that An Lushan started the Anshi Rebellion, harmed the country and the people, and acted against the sky, so the soldiers and horses under him refused to accept him, so many people turned against him before the battle. An Lushan's army is just a group of paper tigers. But is this really the case? Lei suddenly remembered that when he was taking a history class in college, the history teacher once joked that Guo Ziyi's battle was so thrilling that it was almost like taking all the soldiers to go down for a big gamble.And the reason why he can become a generation of famous generals is because he has completed impossible tasks.Indeed, if it weren't for such a difficult task, then anyone could be a generation of famous generals. The history teacher once analyzed that this An Lushan grew up on a saddle since he was a child, and he was familiar with wars from all over the world. In addition, the terrain of Taiyuan is flat and there is really no danger to defend. It was also impossible to force back An Lushan's army for a whole year. Moreover, the Huihe people helped each other, and the number of them was not large. It was too far-fetched to become the key to the battle situation. What was left in the end was Guo Ziyi's prestige, which made An Lushan's officers admit that they were wronged and were willing to retreat steadily. However, relying on prestige alone can really force troops to retreat? Not only the history teacher didn't believe it, even Ray didn't believe it. But in fact, a generation of famous general Guo Ziyi did it. It is said that as long as he stands on the battlefield, the enemy will be shattered and flee, almost reaching the state of invincibility. A question arose in Lei's heart, is there some unknown secret hidden in the middle? In this secret Lei's mind, the seventh mural inexplicably appeared, the mural of the two swords cutting each other, causing an explosion on the battlefield The terrain of Taiyuan is flat, without any obstacles within a radius of a hundred miles. Is there any place more suitable for exerting the power of the explosion than here? So, it was Guo Ziyi's secret to force Anlu Mountain back from the hacking and detonation of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie? Moreover, Guo Ziyi, who knows all this well and puts the common people first, chose to build a sword tomb for the sake of future peace, and buried the secret of the double swords underground forever. This reason sounds far-fetched at first glance, but it is also full of fantasy and lacks theoretical basis.But Lei thought about it carefully, and felt that this reason was reasonable, because whether it was the signature of General Guo Ziyi on the stone gate, or even the content depicted on the mural, they all pointed to the same thing, that is, the explosion of the two swords forced An Lushan back. army. Thinking of this, Lei couldn't help shivering. It turned out that what Ryan brought back from the ground was not just a pair of ancient swords in Chinese mythology, but also a secret that had been sealed for thousands of years!It is a murderous atomic bomb that can take thousands of lives!Lei took a deep breath, and he stood up slowly. He still has a major mystery to solve, that is, when he looked at the third, fourth, and fifth murals, what is the source of the uneasiness that arose in his heart? Where did you come from? What is the reason for this feeling of uneasiness that makes him feel hairy? Lei knew that if he couldn't find the source of this feeling, he wouldn't be able to sleep well in the days to come.
