Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Provincial Hospital.

As soon as I walked to the door of my grandfather's ward, I saw Zhang Nan standing by the bed, feeding my grandfather.

Grandpa looked at Zhang Nan as if he were his grandson's wife, and kept saying all kinds of good things about me, almost directly persuading her to marry me.

Zhang Nan's cheeks were slightly red and she looked a little shy.

He didn't seem to be offended by what his grandfather said.

This makes me very excited.

"Cough cough." I coughed twice lightly at the door of the ward.

When Zhang Nan turned around and saw that it was me, he hurriedly put down the lunch box in his hand and stood up like a frightened little rabbit.

"You're back. Well, I'm going to go back to see my father first. You stay with grandpa."

Seeing Zhang Nan was about to leave, grandpa quickly signaled to me.

"Shitou, please take Nannan away. Haozi, come and feed me."

"Okay!" Cui Hao pushed me happily, then ran into the ward to feed my grandfather.

My teammates are so awesome, I can’t be a coward.

So I accompanied Zhang Nan to Professor Zhang's ward.

"Sister Nan, how is Professor Zhang?"

"Not awake yet. By the way, I have something to show you."

Zhang Nan took out two pieces of letter paper and handed them to me.

There were words on the paper, which should be the content of Professor Zhang's correspondence with someone.

"I found this yesterday when I went home and sorted out my father's study. I think this information might be useful."

I looked down at the contents of the letter.

The letter begins with "Brother Zhang Huai".

Professor Zhang’s name is Zhang Huai, and it seems that the letter was written to him by someone else.

"There are many legends in the territory, and most of the legends about immortality date back to the Yufu Dynasty."

The three generations of kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom were Cancong, Baiguan and Yufu.

According to legend, these three generations of kings each ruled ancient Shu for hundreds of years, but historians believe that these were three dynasties, each of which inherited several generations of kings, and these generations of kings shared the same title.

For example, the kings during the Cancong period were all called Cancong. When Cancong was overthrown and Bai Guan came to power, his successor was also called Bai Guan.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Yufu tribe all have human faces and fish bodies, and can die and resurrect."

"To answer your question, I have conducted a thorough study of the legends and historical records of the Yufu tribe."

"In oracle bone script, 'fu' represents a bird on top and a human on the bottom. Scholars generally believe it represents human submission to the bird, and that the Yufu tribe used the bird as a totem."

"But after careful consideration, I think it might just be the Yufu tribe, skilled at using birds to catch fish, rather than the so-called bird as a totem..."

The following large section of content is all about Yufu.

The Ruyufu tribe was originally a branch of the ancient Diqiang people. They were good at fishing and hunting, and overthrew the Baiguan Dynasty, which was good at farming.

It is also said that the ancient Shu Kingdom during the Yufu period had a great connection with Sanxingdui.

According to his analysis and speculation, Sanxingdui should be the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom during the Yufu period.

Later in 1986, the archaeological excavation of Sanxingdui was restarted, and a large number of bird-head-shaped pottery handles were unearthed.

The bird has a long beak with a sharp hook, very similar to the beak of an osprey.

A golden scepter was also unearthed. The scepter was engraved with fish, birds, and human heads wearing high crowns, showing the supreme power of King Yufu.

The excavation of these things can basically prove that there is indeed a huge connection between Sanxingdui and the Yufu Dynasty.

"Brother Zhang Huai, the reason I mentioned so much about the Yufu Dynasty is because I think snakes and fish are very similar to each other in some ways."

"The snake-shaped divine messenger you're looking for, who came from the west and can grant immortality, might be the Yufu King."

"Because the Yufu tribe came from the west, they defeated King Bai Guan and gathered the various tribes of Bashu to establish the Yufu Dynasty."

"More importantly, according to legend, each tribe that joined the Yufu Dynasty hoped that King Yufu would grant them immortality. This marked the beginning of the ancient Shu belief in immortality."

"Hope you are well, Peng Changshou, January 12, 1979."

The letter ends here.

Professor Zhang wrote a letter to Peng Changshou to discuss the legend that the Baon snake came from the west as a messenger of God.

After some analysis, Peng Changshou believed that Baang Snake had become the King of Yufu, and had absorbed the surrender of various tribes in Sichuan and Shu by granting them immortality.

"Sister Nan, who is this Peng Changshou?"

"A professor at Sichuan Normal University, he was a classmate of my father's. He specializes in the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom and is very knowledgeable about the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom before the Qin Dynasty."

Although there are historical materials such as Huayang Guozhi on the history of ancient Shu, generally speaking, historical materials are seriously scarce, and many contents are recorded in vague terms.

Therefore, it is a relatively unpopular research direction.

Even though Sanxingdui later shocked the world, research on the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom still did not become popular.

"Shi Tou, are you planning to go to Shangluo?" Zhang Nan suddenly asked.

"what?"

I was stunned for a moment and was about to make up a lie to get away with it.

But Zhang Nan's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through my heart, stared at me so intently that I couldn't tell a lie.

"That's the plan."

"But the specific itinerary hasn't been confirmed yet, and even if I go, I'll just be asking for information first."

I explained nervously, afraid that she would impulsively want to go with me.

Zhang Nan nodded slightly after listening.

"You have to be more careful and don't force it."

"Oh...um, aren't you going?" I asked carefully.

Zhang Nan smiled.

"I want to go, but will you let me go?"

"I can see that you don't want me to go. I don't know why, but I'd better not trouble you."

"And my father needs someone to take care of him."

She is really understanding.

Later I found out that she was acting this considerate way for me. When I was exploring the cave where Professor Zhang had the accident, she quietly followed me.

Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

But it was precisely because she followed behind that I saved my life.

I was accompanying Zhang Nan in Professor Zhang's ward. In the evening, Ai Wuzhuang came with a thermos bucket.

"Nannan, have dinner."

"Hey, your brother is here too. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to disturb your love."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense."

Zhang Nan blushed and gently pushed Ai Wuban, then took the thermos, opened it, and placed it in front of me: "You eat first."

"Hey, hey, hey! You always come before your lover when eating, and you still say there's no love."

Zhang Nan's face turned even redder.

I put the chopsticks into her hand and said, "Sister Nan, you eat first. I ate a lot at noon, so I'm not hungry yet."

"Well, how about we eat together?"

Ai Wuzhuang covered his eyes with his hands, but his fingers were wide open again.

She looked at us through her fingers and teased, "The sour smell of love, how can a single person like me bear it?"

"Sister Ai, stop making trouble."

I dragged Ai Wuzhuang out of the ward because I didn't want her to disturb Zhang Nan's meal.

After leaving the ward, Ai Wuwu looked at me with his hands on his hips, as if he was going to settle the score with me.

"Brother Shitou, Professor Pan scolded me today."

"What's going on?" I asked curiously.

Previously, when Ai Wuban was helping to translate the inscription on a bronze plate, he was discovered by Professor Pan, who asked Ai Wuban to copy the inscription for him.

Is there something wrong with the copied inscription?

"Professor Pan wanted to see my original copy of the bronze plate inscription, so I had no choice but to hand it over. After reading it, he scolded me for not copying it carefully and making mistakes in more than ten characters."

"Hold!"

"How could you give the original to him!"
