The floor is gold and the walls are silver!

How many are there?

There is no way to calculate it!

Fu Huicheng said, if you rob the entire Federal Reserve, you probably won't be able to rob so much.

After being exhausted from all the tossing, Lao Bai finally gave up helplessly, lying on the ground with his face spread out, rubbing his face against the ground from time to time, saying that he knew he couldn't take it with him, he just wanted to feel the taste of money.

Not long after, Brother Yaozi and others also came down one after another, and their reactions were basically the same as mine at the beginning.

This has nothing to do with whether you are greedy for money or not. It is really... so impactful.

Even Wu Ye, who had always said that he had devoted himself to academics, was lost for a moment, and then shook his head in disbelief, saying that he suddenly remembered what a colleague who had done research together before said - the Miao family has a large amount of silver jewelry, and the amount is already huge.

To an astonishing degree, he found it hard to believe that a nation that lives in a remote corner of the country could possess such a massive amount of wealth. Such a nation must have had a glorious past.

Coincidentally, in addition to the Miao people, there are many similar ethnic groups.

In the end, these ethnic groups can all be connected to one source - Jiuli!!

As the ancestor of smelting, Chi You could not imagine how much gold and silver he seized from that undeveloped land. Unfortunately, at that time, gold and silver were not as useful as copper and iron. After the Battle of Zhuolu, these gold and silver

It was inherited by Sanmiao, and after Sanmiao, it was scattered to the hands of the ancient Qiang and Miao families, like branches and leaves. It is impossible to estimate how huge it will be when gathered together.

What we see before our eyes may only be a very small part of it!

Wealth attracts people's attention, but no matter how much wealth there is, it has to be lived. After a brief period of shock, we finally turned our attention to the place itself.

As a place that is obviously different from the surrounding houses, from the things scattered on the ground that look like sacrificial vessels, we can roughly guess that this should be a place similar to an ancestral hall at that time, mainly dedicated to Chi You. For a tribe

, this is the root!

Naturally, we will not let go of such a place.

The hall was very large, and everyone was spread out.

I searched all the way to the edge and saw some scattered bones, most of which could not even be pieced together into human form. It can be seen that when the incident happened, even this place was affected.

"Come here and take a look, this corpse is a little weird!"

Brother Yaozi's shout gathered the scattered people into the southeast corner.

There are many gold and silver sacrificial vessels piled up in a mess here. A corpse lies on these sacrificial vessels. Compared with the scattered bones, this corpse is very complete. With those sacrificial vessels holding it up, it still remains even after the flesh and blood has rotted away.

Maintaining the posture before death, one arm was stretched forward, as if to grab something, the skull was raised, and the dark eyes were staring ahead.

"It's not like a struggle."

Brother Yaozi said: "It's like asking for help, or... trying to catch something!"

Except for some sacrificial vessels, there was nothing else around. It was impossible to grab the sacrificial vessels. I looked along the fingers of the corpse and saw a cold wall not far away, but the rust in this area was particularly thick.

.

So, I stepped forward and used my sleeves to wipe off the rust, revealing the densely packed small characters.

This is not any kind of writing that we are familiar with.

"Old Miaowen!"

Wu Ye came up and made this judgment after just one glance.

"The glyph structure is a bit similar, but it's not the old Miao script."

I shook my head: "I know some old Miao literature, but it's not like this!"

"It's Lao Miaowen!"

Wu Ye's tone was very sure: "I know that the old Miao script you are talking about is nothing more than the ones on the Leigong Mountain stone tablet. They were rubbed and cracked a lot. I have a friend who studies this. He

It’s a little late to talk about the old Miao script in Leigong Mountain. It should be a kind of Miao script that slowly evolved from the ancestors of the Miao people after the Three Miao Dynasties. It can be regarded as old Miao script, but it cannot be regarded as the most primitive old Miao script!”

Do the Miao people have writing?

This has always been very controversial.

The Miao script we are talking about now refers to the script created by a Miao scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. It is a square character based on Chinese characters and has nothing to do with the old Miao script.

The real old Miao script is said to have been created by Chi You. Although it has undergone several changes since then, it is just the evolution of seal script and official script. In the final analysis, it still originated from the same family!

The most original Miao writing is the writing originally created by Chi You!

"Most of this kind of writing is carved on trees. Now only a little bit has been preserved. It is not systematic at all and cannot be seen by the outside world!"

Wu Ye said: "This should be that kind of writing, the popular writing in Jiuli back then!"

A dead body stretched out its hands in this direction when it died. It was unclear whether it was asking for help or to express something. There was nothing worth capturing around it. The only thing that was unusual was the old Miao inscriptions on the wall.

I looked at Wu Ye with hope: "How many can you recognize?"

"My little brother, how can I know him?"

Wu Ye smiled bitterly and said: "There are many people who study Miao literature, but they all treat it as a side job and talk about it in general terms. There are only a few people who are focusing on this thing, and there are even fewer who have gained anything. Who knows this in the world?

There are no more than one person who can read and write, and my friend is one of them, but he also said that he only knows more than 200 words at most!!"

More than two hundred?

Quite a few!

There are only two to three thousand commonly used Chinese characters.

Lao Bai asked Wu Ye if he didn't follow him to learn a skill?

"I only recognized a few words!"

Wu Ye replied angrily, but his eyes never left the text above.

Hopefully he can find a familiar word or two!

I sighed.

Wu Ye looked at it very seriously. As time passed bit by bit, the expression on his face changed, from shaking his head at first, to thoughtfulness, and even a little understanding in the end.

I'm very confused, can I decipher such a long article by just learning a few words?

Just when he was about to ask, Wu Ye took the lead and spoke quietly: "There are one or two words, one or two very important words, unique, but they appear here. This... seems to tell a story. !”

He sat on the floor, recalling and telling this story that he had also heard from hearsay.

This is a legend of the Miao people. This legend is related to Chi You. It tells that when Chi You was very young, he went to a mountain called "Bamang Bamao" to learn skills. There were masters living on that mountain who taught him skills. He was full of supernatural powers. When he came out of the mountain, he passed by a village in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and found that the fields were vast and the farmland was barren. It was quite like what Lao Cao said in his poem, "White bones exposed in the wild, and no rooster crows for thousands of miles."

Chi You felt strange, so he went into the village to investigate, and found that the village was also empty. After searching for a long time, he finally found three female dolls hiding in a large cowhide drum.

Three female dolls told Chi You what happened here.

About a few years ago, a ferocious old witch came here. This old witch was covered in yellow hair, with long hair reaching her waist. Her ears were hanging down from her shoulders, and her fangs were turned out. She would spit on everyone she met, and anyone she spit on would... He fainted immediately and was kidnapped. The people in the village were kidnapped one after another. The three sisters hid themselves in cowhide drums and managed to escape.

When Chi You heard this, he thought it was okay, so he took his two sworn brothers to conquer the demons.

When he found the old witch for the first time, the old witch knocked down Chi You's two sworn brothers. Chi You drew his sword and cut off the old witch's head, only to see the old witch pick him up. He took his head and spat on his neck, then "click, click, click" and twisted it back again.

The old witch knew that she was no match for Chi You, so after placing the head on her head, she turned around and ran away!

Returning to her cave, the three demon dolls immediately gathered together and asked the old witch, "Mom, have you brought back any chickens or ducks?"

Chickens and ducks refer to people who have been captured.

The old witch spat and cursed, not to mention the chickens and ducks, they were almost killed. Fortunately, the man didn't use a wooden sword that was smeared with Jiayi, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back today.

Little did they know that when the old witch said this, Chi You was listening outside.

The next day, the old witch was going to seek out Chi You's bad luck and avenge yesterday's sword attack. She lurked in the village and observed carefully. When she saw Chi You's two brothers still wearing ordinary swords, she was ecstatic. Not to mention, there were two mouths of old phlegm on the way up. At this time, Chi You suddenly pulled out the wooden sword. The old witch was shocked, knowing that she had fallen into a trap. She was about to run away, but Chi You rushed up to stop her and cut her into two pieces with a sword. She died at this point.

This is just the beginning of this story.

Later, it was said that Chi You went to find the three monsters. The three monsters even performed in front of him for a while how to eat chickens and ducks. They knocked a man over at once and lay on his body to suck blood.

He sucked people dry.

Chi You immediately put the three demon babies into the gourd. Considering that they were young, he did not kill them directly, but took them away, which was regarded as getting rid of a big harm.

The serious story of the Eight Hundreds ends here, but there is still a legend among the people, that is, the three monsters escaped while Chi You was not paying attention. After leaving, they did not dare to wander on the territory of the Jiuli tribe, but ran to Emperor Yan.

On the other side of the Yellow Emperor, they provoked each other and caused the Yan and Huang Emperors to fight with Chi You. After a battle at Zhuolu, Chi You was destroyed, and in this way the witch was avenged!

"This story is not a strange one. It's just that you have heard too many stories about Emperors Yan and Huang, but not enough about Chi You."

Wu Ye smiled and said: "However, it is widely circulated among the Miao people that the old witch is called the lop-eared witch because her ears droop on the shoulders. All the old Miao literature that can be found so far mentions it many times.

Fortunately, I learned these four words from my friend, and these four words are included in the text on the wall tiles. I guess it tells the story of the lop-eared witch. This matter has always been talked about.

Ledao, since this place is dedicated to Chi You, it is normal for some stories related to Chi You to be engraved. I guess besides this, there are also some other stories engraved. The content is very long, but unfortunately I can't recognize it..."

"Loopy ears, chase... ears!"

My head buzzed for a moment and I stood up suddenly: "This story is enough. Zhou Shi vaguely said two words at that time, Zhui Er. We couldn't understand what it meant. I think what he wanted to say was "Zhui Er".

Ear!!

His spirit is not quite right and his pronunciation is not standard!!
