National treasure

In the evening, in the corridor outside the study, Cheng Ling and Zhong Zhe met at the door. They didn't even say hello, they just walked into the house silently.

The personal is in charge of the personal, and the work is in charge of the work. Obviously, the two can still reach a consensus on this point.

Uncle Gao saw that everyone was here, and began to talk about business.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first. After reading the information you gave and doing some research, I basically agree with Zhong Zhe's judgment.

First, the other party wants to use Hetu Luoshu to make a big noise.

Second, they will require specific venues and ritual procedures to initiate the event.

The third is a supplementary question, where might the place 'Tang' be located, and what kind of connection does it have with Hetu Luoshu?

I have been able to explain the first two points, and I have also discovered the third point. "

Hearing such progress, Zhong Zhe and Cheng Ling in the room were relieved, sat down and listened attentively.

Uncle Gao calmly took a sip of his tea, and said, "Let's first talk about what this big news might be. Zhong Zhe, now you can talk about your guess that you haven't been sure about."

Zhong Zhe raised his eyebrows, and said, "I've never been sure, because it's a bit weird to say it. I think the other party is convinced that the combination of Hetu and Luoshu can really bring about changes in time and space."

"What do you mean by the change in time and space?" Cheng Ling looked serious, and quickly asked the core question, "What kind of goals do these people want to achieve?"

Zhong Zhe didn't make a sound, but turned to look at Uncle Gao.

"About Hetu Luoshu, in fact, Zhong Zhe's father should be the most qualified to speak. I can speak in front of him only because of my small achievements in pre-Qin ancient characters, especially Oracle bone inscriptions." Before going into details, I still can’t help but miss an old friend with humility and emotion.

"What is Hetu Luoshu? There have been different opinions since ancient times, and because few people have seen the real thing, according to Zhong Zhe's father, even in the Zhong family, only the branch responsible for inheriting it will see the real thing. Thousands of years later, the legend has become more illusory."

Uncle Gao turned to Zhong Zhe and said, "When your father donated 003 to the country, he attached some explanatory materials. According to the formula passed down from generation to generation by the Zhong family, the Hetu records something similar to the ultimate law of space transformation. But what is it? , but it is hard to say, the research is always going on, and there has never been any breakthrough.

Back then, your father and I put in a lot of effort, and we could only collect some of the Luoshu rubbings due to limited conditions. But even so, with our efforts, and through allusions to the content of the various stories and formulas passed down by the Zhong family, It can be basically judged that what Luoshu recorded should be the ancient people's exquisite cognition of time.

The combination of these two things has verified the biggest conjecture that your father and I have made since our research. Hetu and Luoshu are the ultimate inductive records of ancient people's cognition of time and space. "

"That's why the two often go hand in hand." Cheng Ling concluded.

Uncle Gao nodded.

"So, do these two things have to be used together?" Although Cheng Ling heard Zhong Zhe roughly mention it, it is always good to listen to Director Gao's interpretation.

Uncle Gao affirmed: "It is true. According to our research, theoretically, the ancients analyzed and recorded and controlled time and space separately.

The mysteries of space are recorded in Hetu, and the mysteries of time are recorded in Luoshu.But when it is actually used, both modern and ancient people realize that the existence of time and space is obviously entangled and difficult to separate independently.Therefore, when actually using it, both Hetu and Luoshu should be indispensable. "

Speaking of this, Uncle Gao's tone changed, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But no one has really tried it throughout the ages, if the two can be used alone, God knows what will happen.

These bandits are so vicious, you still have to get back the river map as soon as possible.If, in case, something happens that prompts these frenzied people to give up Luoshu directly and choose to take the risk and destroy it with only the river map in their hands, who knows if they can also achieve their goal. "

After hearing this, Zhong Zhe turned his head to look at Cheng Ling, and saw him nodding silently, with a resolute expression on his face.

"Do you know how Hetu Luoshu came about?" Uncle Gao continued to ask the question.

Regarding this, even Zhong Zhe shook his head unclearly.

Uncle Gao sighed at him, "Your father should have told you the origin behind this. Hetu came from the Nuwa clan, while Luoshu came from the Gonggong clan. These two Huaxia clans were prosperous and powerful in ancient times. Alliance for generations.

Most of the various myths handed down that we hear today are the evolution of the legends of ancestor stories in ancient times, and many misconceptions are mixed in them. You all know this. "

Zhong Zhe nodded and said, "For example, as you said just now, the Nuwa clan is not the enemy of the Gonggong clan as some legends say. On the contrary, they are an offensive and defensive alliance for many years."

"Indeed. That's one of the fallacies.

In a certain period of ancient times, a powerful clan from far away conquered many small clans around it, and began to aggressively attack the places where the Nuwa clan and the Gonggong clan lived.Faced with the danger of genocide, the Nuwa and Gonggong clans chose to unite with other smaller clans living on the same land. Their lips died and their teeth were cold. Everyone quickly reached a consensus and stood up to resist.

A protracted war that swept across ancient China kicked off.

In the course of this war, the Gonggong clan, an important party of the alliance, was likely to be tricked and lost the important treasure Luoshu, and the alliance between the Nuwa clan and the Gonggong clan was randomly hit and collapsed.

The Great War ushered in a critical turning point. After that, the Gonggong clan was the first to be defeated, and the Nuwa clan, as the last big tribe to resist, was finally conquered by the enemy. "

"In the thousands of years of human history, there are countless such things. The rising new tribes defeated and merged the old tribes. Some tribes disappeared, and some survived tenaciously. The appearance of China today is also the same." It is rare for Cheng Ling to speak.

"That's right, that's right." Uncle Gao nodded frequently.

"Moreover, today we can still hear the legacy of this unparalleled war. The Gonggong family suffered the earliest and most fatal blow in this ancient war. The winner and the loser have been described as evil by the myths that have been handed down to this day. God, there is a legend of overthrowing Buzhou Mountain. However, even if it is so obliterated, the Gonggong clan is still remembered by the people, and its indelible achievements have been handed down to this day.

That is, if the water is controlled, life will be born and the people will benefit.The Gonggong clan has always lived along the river, and there have been masters of water control in the past dynasties. The gods and kings of water control in ancient times, Julong, Siyue, and Dayu all came from the Gonggong clan.

It's a pity that the Gonggong clan that lost Luoshu finally completely declined, was positioned as an evil god, and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

As for the Nuwa clan, it was difficult to save the river map, the treasure of the clan, on the condition that they marry the Fuxi clan who took the lead in invading and merge into the Fuxi clan.In addition, the Nuwa clan also did a lot of reconstruction work on the land that was devastated by the people after the war. "

"That's why there are legends about Nuwa mending the sky and creating by Nuwa." Zhong Zhe interjected.

Uncle Gao nodded appreciatively, and Cheng Ling asked at the right time, "The powerful clan that took the lead in attacking was the Fuxi clan. So broad."

"Good question." Uncle Gao affirmed, touching his beautiful beard, "this just reasonably explained the situation after the war at that time. At first, the Nuwa clan did not want to marry the Fuxi clan, but only hoped to preserve the entire clan as much as possible and serve Low and small, so there is a saying of brother and sister status. But Fuxi is obviously not at ease with this treatment. He firmly believes that the best way to conquer the clans, after completely defeating the Gonggong clan, one of the alliances, is to marry on the surface. Annexing the Nuwa clan, the head of the remaining clans, makes the descendants of the Fuxi clan in power have the blood of both sides, so that long-term stability can be achieved."

"Uncle Gao, it's just out of curiosity," Zhong Zhe asked, "I know that a large part of the background and inferences about Heluo you are talking about now should come from the research of you and my father. What materials did you use? Proved this statement?"

"Why, boy, you still don't believe your father and my research? The arguments will be exhausted in a while, but there is indeed one special thing that should be shown to you." Uncle Gao smiled, turned and walked from the bookshelf Three white scrolls were drawn.

While spreading out the three scrolls, Zhong Zhe and Cheng Ling couldn't help but glance at each other.

Uncle Gao looked at them curiously.

Three kinds of totem shapes are printed on the three spread paper rolls, red three-legged bird, ink-colored human-headed snake body and yellow dragon-like snake pattern.

Zhong Zhe pointed to the first two and said: "I have seen the bird pattern and Cheng Ling, and I have seen the snake with the human head by accident at home, only the last one has never been seen before."

Uncle Gao nodded, not surprised, "I don't know where you two met with the bird pattern. The snake pattern is the secret family emblem of your Zhong family, because 003 was transferred to the country through an intermediary I acted, and also because of the Your father has worked together for many years and has a very close personal relationship, so I was able to find out about it.

Let's talk about these three totem patterns, which are the proof that Fuxi and Nuwa are not brothers and sisters, but enemies.

Fuxi, Fuxi, means to cover up the sun. The golden crow swallowing the sun is the totem of the Fuxi clan, while the human-headed snake is the totem of the Nuwa clan, and the earth dragon pattern is exclusive to the Gonggong clan. "

"Birds and snakes are sworn enemies, but snakes and dragons are close friends of the same kind." Zhong Zhe suddenly realized.

He and Cheng Ling looked at each other again, so the thieves were actually related to the legend of the Fuxi clan.Especially Zhong Zhe suddenly recalled what Richard Yi said when he kidnapped him in the underground warehouse.

"My poor young son who lost his father, he doesn't understand anything... We are not the only ones staring at your Zhong family, and your Zhong family is also staring at others.

As for who we are?You should ask who all of us are. Your Zhong family is also part of this ancient world. Although it has declined a lot, it is one of the oldest. "

Uncle Gao continued to explain, interrupting Zhong Zhe's thoughts.

"When the Nuwa clan surrendered and married the Fuxi clan, they already had the flesh and blood of the Gonggong clan in their belly. The Nuwa clan is an ancient matrilineal clan, and children belong to the mother completely. In the long years after the marriage with the Fuxi clan, the Nuwa clan Both continued to maintain their own territories and clansmen, and it took a very long time before the matrilineal system was gradually disintegrated. At least before that, the only remaining blood of the Nuwa clan and the Gonggong clan not only grew up safely, but also survived in the Nuwa clan. Under the protection of the family, it developed its own branch.

"Zhong Zhe, do you know how difficult it is for your father to hand over the river map to the country? I always admire your father's decision. You think what I'm telling you is just some distant myth and legend, some kind of record after Research results shelved?

Under the quiet light in the study, Uncle Gao looked at the junior in front of him with great emotion.

"You asked me about these legends and proofs of research. Zhong Zhe, they are flowing in your body.

Your family history is much longer than you know, you, your father, grandfather... you are all direct descendants of Emperor Wa and Gong Gong, and the child who survived quietly is the ancestor of the Zhong family. "
