Chapter 44: Ancient Shuran Kingdom

Since he was the first person to be created, Nuwa had a special feeling for the ancestor of the Ran clan. Just as a couple gave birth to several children, they prefer one of them... Due to the plea of ​​the ancestor of the Ran clan, Nuwa did not take away all his "divine power", but retained a part. However, in this way, the ancestor of the Ran clan became the most powerful of all human beings. He might use his divine power to slaughter his compatriots at will, and no one could fight against him. In order to control him, Nuwa stipulated that he could only live in Shu. As for his divine power, it could only be used to conquer nature, not to kill and fight wars... If he violated it, Nuwa would take away the divine power...

At that time, the Bashu area was frequent and the natural environment was extremely harsh. The ancestors of the Ran clan first lived here and lived a life of hungry and dining. Later generations relied on the "power of gods" he passed down to fight against the evil naturally. Because the ancestor was a human-headed and snake-like body, those descendants regarded snakes as the totem. Because snakes were also called "naconda" and pronounced "Ran", later generations called them "Ran clan"... This is the oldest nation in the Bashu area, the origin of the "Ran clan"...

At the beginning, the Ran tribe was a nomadic people living a scattered life of fishing and hunting. After a long period of time, the world changed. After countless years, a man named the "Cancong clan" appeared in the Ran tribe and established the first country of the ancient Shu land, "Ran". Since then, the "power of gods" passed down by their tribe ancestors has been monopolized by the aristocracy of the country and used for sacrifices and control of subjects... The ancient Shu kingdom had civilization ahead of the Central Plains and a developed bronze culture. Except for the aristocrats that were used for food and food, the rest of the bronze ware they made were all sacrificial utensils for sacrifices. Their bronze sacrificial utensils contained a strong religious mystery and had no words on it, which was very different from the Central Plains.

After many years, the nobles of the ancient Shu Ran Kingdom split into two branches, one responsible for controlling the subjects and the other responsible for religious sacrifices. Due to the mutual exclusion and confrontation, the nobles in charge of sacrifices were eventually driven out of Ran Kingdom. In order to revenge and seize power, the nobles and the Qiang tribes around Ran Kingdom merged together, and from the land, the Shu area began years of war. Due to the limitations of ancestors' orders, the remaining nobles in Ran Kingdom did not dare to pass on the "divine power" of their ancestors to war. The ones responsible for religious sacrifices

After the nobles were driven away, the country's religion was paralyzed. Without religion, there was no faith. The lack of faith led to the dispersion of the people's hearts and even the "divine power" could not be controlled. In the end, Ran State was destroyed by a man named "Yu Fu", and Yu Fu established a new country, "Ran Qiang Kingdom". After Yu Fu founded the country, all the old and old systems of Ran State were abolished, and all the nobles were massacred. Since then, the most glorious and developed period in ancient Shu began... The famous "Sanxingdui Civilization" appeared at that time...

Since the Ran Qiang Kingdom was in power, the country was mainly religious. Temples, temples, various sacrificial places were built, and bronze sacrificial utensils were cast in large quantities. At that time, the ancient Shu Ran Qiang Kingdom was extremely developed, so it attracted many people from other places to come to pilgrimage, such as Tibet, India, and other places. This is why many ancient Indian coins and sacrificial utensils were found in Sanxingdui...

History has proved that if a country focuses on development in one aspect, it will inevitably ignore the development of other aspects, which will eventually lead to destruction. The "Southern Tang" of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a living example. Li Houzhu loved poetry, songs, and ignored national strength and people's livelihood. In the end, the country was destroyed by Zhao Kuangyin. Before him, the ancient Ran Qiang Kingdom in Bashu was too focused on religion, and the country was eventually destroyed by Qin Shihuang, and the territory of Shu was restored to the territory of the Qin Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, in order to prevent the Ran Qiang Kingdom in Shu from rekindling, he ordered all the nobles who had lost their country to be killed.

In order to save their lives, the nobles took some important things of the country and religion, such as sacrificial vessels, and fled westward to the place where their nation originated, which was the Qionglai Mountains in western Sichuan, and began a life of panic. Not long after, the pursuers came, and the people had nowhere to escape. Seeing that the god of death was about to come, in despair, their group bowed to the vast mountains, praying for the spirits of ancestors to bless them to survive the disaster. When the pursuers came, suddenly, a ball of fire appeared in the distant sky, dragging its long tail and fell into the mountains. After the sky was shaken like the earth, the chasers were chasing, and after that, the chasers were chasing.

They were all shocked to death, but the Ran people were safe and sound. They crossed the mountains and came to the place where the fire fell and found a huge crater. There was a deep hole in the middle of the crater. Through the hole, they came to the place where I was at this moment and lived in seclusion. Later, they found that the area in the area of ​​30 degrees north latitude mentioned in our current population not only has another space, but also a mysterious "power". They used the "power of gods" passed down by their ancestors to summon that "power", and then rely on that power to hide the crater connecting their seclusion, leaving outsiders unable to enter...

They believed that it was the big stone thrown by the ancestors from the sky, which helped them open the passage to another world. In order to express their gratitude and respect for their ancestors, they walked along the 30th degree north latitude and came to Mengding Mountain. They thought it was an excellent place, so they rely on that "power" to build a temple for their ancestors in the belly of the mountain, and made a huge Ran warrior pattern on the mountain above the temple to guard the temple.

…(Because the pattern is too huge, and the rainy and foggy mountain in Mengding Mountain, the pattern has been unknown to outsiders for thousands of years. Until one day in 2007, a netizen accidentally discovered the pattern while browsing Google Maps and went to CCTV. CCTV could not solve it, and finally used rain to wash it to explain the reason for the pattern... No one would know that as early as 2006, more than a year ago, I already knew that there was a pattern there, including its shape.

The reason for the formation and the secret hidden below... The pattern was indeed washed by rain, but not washed and formed, but blurred. Originally, it was an ancient Ran country warrior riding a kirin and holding a weapon in his hand. The kirin turned his head and faced the samurai's eyes. The whole pattern was very clear. Due to various natural reasons such as earthquakes, the pattern was misaligned and deformed, and the weapon in the samurai was gone, which became what it is now. As for the temple, it is located on the abdomen of the mountain

The deepest part of the world, I think, it should not be much affected by natural factors and is well preserved. However, what I said will be considered a fabricated story. Even if someone believes it is true, he is willing to spend a lot of money and use a lot of manpower and material resources to dig the mountain and go to the temple to see it, the country will not allow it, because it is a tourist scenic spot, so let the temple be left for future generations to explore. All I can do is tell what I know, that's all...)

Just as the demise of the Ran Qiang Kingdom, some of the Ran people except those nobles were completely merged with the Qiang people, while others were integrated into the Han people from the Central Plains. In the end, the ancient and mysterious people of the Ran people, including its religious beliefs and writing language, completely disappeared from the earth. Only in some ancient sites excavated or some ancient villages and towns where the Ran people once lived, fragmented and unbreakable characters can be found occasionally. Since some ancient sites, such as Sanxingdui, there are no inscriptions on the bronze sacrificial vessels unearthed from the ground, the mystery of this nation has been added...

Ling Jitian's remarks made me stare at my eyes and asked in a daze, "Uncle Ling, how do you know this?"

"It's someone named Ran Guohua told me." Ling Jitian said.

"Ran Guohua?" I turned my head, "Is it, the Sichuan wizard living in the scenic area of ​​our city, in the woods?"

Ling Jitian was stunned, "Have you seen him?"

"No, when I knew him, he was already dead."

"Dead?"

"Um."

"How did you die?"

"Just..." I scratched my head, "I don't know how he died... By the way, Uncle Ling, how did you come here?"

"It's a bit long to say."

"Then let's not talk about this for now. There is one thing that I particularly want to know."

"What?"

"That's..." I looked at him, "Uncle Ling, whether you believe in Yu Xin or not. I know that when you mention your daughter, it will touch your pain, but I have to mention it, because there is one thing I must know..."

"What do you want me to tell you?"

"I want to know..." I said slowly, "Your daughter Ling Xiao, how did she die? I hope you will tell me in detail..."

Ling Jitian didn't say anything at first, staring at the darkness ahead in a daze. After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I get to the place."

"Okay, where are you going to take me?"

Ling Jitianchao looked around and said, "It's almost here."

After walking like this for a while, Ling Jitian pointed his finger in front of him, "Xiao Leng, look at it."

I widened my eyes and saw a building standing in the darkness.

"What is this house for?" I asked in confusion.

"It's the place where these Ran Min detain people who violate the clan rules, go..."

As I approached the building, I saw a stone pillar surrounded by snakes.

"This is used to punish Ran Min, who violated the serious rules of clan. He tied the man to this pillar with a snake, poured tin oil on his body, and burned it off. It sounds cruel, but I have never seen it. It is said that there is only one woman who was punished by such punishment. That was hundreds of years ago, that woman..."

"The woman gave a holy object from their clan to a man named Yang Xiansheng..."

"You know this, too?"

"Well... By the way, Uncle Ling, why did you bring me here?"
