"In the time of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, the last king of Shu in the Yufu Dynasty was old and dim, and the country of Shu was in a state of chaos, and the people were in dire straits..."
Elder Duoji continued: "There was a man named Du Yu from the Wu tribe who came down from Bashan and claimed to be a god descended from heaven. He got the will of the god to replace the king of Shu and govern the country of Shu...
The people of the ancient Shu Kingdom had long been fed up with the dark rule of the King of Shu, so they followed Du Yu to overthrow the last King of Shu in the Yufu Dynasty, and made Du Yu the new King of Shu...
Du Yu was afraid that the descendants of the Yufu Dynasty would compete for the throne again, so he massacred all the families of the former King of Shu...
At the beginning, Du Yu was also more open-minded and managed the Shu Kingdom well. Everyone supported him...
Later, when King Wu conquered Zhou, Du Yu led thousands of ancient Shu elite soldiers to participate in the battle to defeat Zhou, and served as a vanguard, using mysterious dance battle formations to defeat the army of King Zhou of Shang...
King Wu rewarded Du Yu with many things, and officially recognized him as the King of Shu, known as Emperor Wang...
After returning from the Central Plains, Du Yu became arrogant, self-willed and arrogant...
He is a member of the Wu clan, has the ability to communicate with gods, and can preside over sacrifices. Now he has become the king of Shu. He has the power of kings and gods in one body, and he doesn't care about anyone...
Gradually, he was surrounded by flattering villains. Many righteous people either died of being framed by villains, or left the court in despair...
The ancient Shu Kingdom fell into chaos again, and the people were in dire straits...
Some water conservancy facilities were in disrepair for a long time and no one took care of them. One year, huge floods occurred...
The villains around Du Yu can only flatter themselves, so how can they control floods? Instead, they deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, causing the flood to get out of hand...
At this time, a man named Turtle Ling came and said that he could control floods...
It is said that the turtle spirit has incredible divinity and can transform into a divine turtle to dredge waterways...
However, he is not from the Wu clan, so Du Yu is also wary of him...
However, the floods at that time were beyond control, and Du Yu had no other choice but to appoint Turtle Ling as the prime minister, hand over the power of the entire country to Turtle Ling, and let him take charge of controlling the flood...
This turtle spirit was not ambiguous, and soon led the people of Shu to control the raging floods, and guided the people to resume production and life...
As a result, Turtle Spirit's prestige was at its peak, completely overshadowing the old and dim Du Yu...
Du Yu has been secretly investigating the details of Turtle Ling, and finally took advantage of Bieling to go out to control the floods. He learned from Bieling's wife that Bieling was the surviving descendant of the royal family of the Yufu Dynasty...
Turtle Spirit has been hiding for many years, and now he comes back to kill Du Yu, seize the throne, and avenge his family...
Although Du Yu knew the details of Turtle Ling, the situation was over and there was nothing he could do about Turtle Ling...
When Turtle Ling learned that Du Yu knew his true identity, he fabricated the lie that Du Yu was having an affair with his wife. He simply raised an army and came to the ancient Shu King's city...
Du Yu quickly asked his men to organize troops to resist, and several fierce battles broke out between the two sides. Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed...
Du Yu's men were all incompetent villains, none of them knew how to fight, and they were eventually defeated by Turtle Ling's army...
Turtle Ling personally led his troops and surrounded Du Yu's royal city...
Du Yu knew that he was completely ruined. In a rage, he destroyed all the sacrificial places in the ancient Shu king's city, and burned all the classics recording the ancient Shu civilization...
The fire burned in the royal city for nine days and nine nights before it was extinguished...
By the time Turtle Ling led his men into the royal city and captured Du Yu alive, the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom had been completely destroyed by Du Yu..."
"Oh, so that's it..."
Jiang Zhonglou nodded and was speechless.
All along, he thought that Du Yu was good, but he was robbed of the emperor by the turtle spirit and died of depression...
Unexpectedly, Du Yu was the culprit who destroyed the ancient Shu civilization!
"Were all the gold, jades, bronzes, etc. that came out of Sanxingdui destroyed by Du Yu?" Jiang Zhonglou asked.
"Yes, although Turtle Ling captured Du Yu alive and imprisoned him in Xishan, the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom has been completely destroyed by Du Yu..."
Elder Duoji sighed: "What's even more terrible is that when the turtle spirits surrounded the royal city, the eight major families of the ancient Shu Kingdom fled Shu one after another and lived in other places, not daring to come back...
Even if the turtle spirit has great abilities, without the inheritance of the eight major families for many years, it would be impossible to build a new sacrificial place, and there would be no way to restore the past civilization of ancient Shu!"
"this..."
Everyone was stunned.
Only then did Jiang Chonglou understand the real reason for the disappearance of ancient Shu civilization.
It turns out that back then, the turtle spirits surrounded Du Yu in order to avenge their hatred and fight for the throne, but Du Yu frantically destroyed the ancient Shu civilization...
And the eight noble families of the ancient Shu Kingdom have all fled the ancient Shu Kingdom, and Turtle Ling will no longer be able to restore the civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom...
"Why are these eight families running away? The royal family of Du Yu's family is just afraid that the Turtle Spirit will take revenge and kill them. What are the other seven families afraid of?" Sanya asked in confusion.
"Back then, the seven major families assisted Du Yu in seizing the throne of the Yufu Dynasty, and also killed all the royal members of the Yufu Dynasty..."
Elder Duoji sighed again: "Now, the turtle spirit, a descendant of the Yufu Dynasty, has come back to take revenge. How can it be possible to let the seven major families go? How can the seven major families not be afraid?"
"Oh... I actually forgot about this."
Sanya smiled sheepishly.
"It was during this drastic change that the eight major families of the ancient Shu Kingdom fell apart and dispersed to various places..."
Elder Duoji continued: "Some of the eight major families with good marriage relationships contacted each other and came to the Central Plains together...
They kept their names anonymous and tried to quietly build a new sacrificial place, restore communication with the true god, and create a new civilization. This is the ancestor of the Mohist family...
Later, Mo Xiayi gave birth to a Mozi, and then the world knew about the Mo family...
It's a pity that the eight major families are fragmented after all. After Mozi's death, they fell apart again and killed each other. They are still fighting among themselves to this day...
Some people in the ancient Shu Kingdom who were against Turtle Ling retreated to the mountainous area of eastern Shu after Du Yu's death and established the Ba Kingdom...
From then on, the ancient Shu Kingdom was divided into two, one was called Ba Kingdom, and the other was called Shu...
The people of Shu state call themselves Shu people, and the people of Ba state call themselves Ba people. However, when there was no division, there was no distinction between Ba people and Shu people...
During the Du Yu and Turtle War, some ancient Shu people fled to the grassland in the southwest of Shu in order to avoid the war. They called themselves Kangba people, and this grassland was called Kangba grassland...
The ancestors of our Danba people are actually a branch of the workers who fled the ancient Shu Kingdom and followed them to the Kham grassland...
Our ancestors relied on their superb construction skills to build a temple on the Danba Snow Mountain, trying to communicate with the true god of the outer world of gods, and called themselves the Danba tribe...
Unfortunately, our descendants of the Danba tribe have never had any divinity. We can only barely communicate with our ancestors and get some simple instructions and early warnings...
However, we, the Danba people, have inherited the superb construction techniques of the workers from the ancient Shu Kingdom, especially the Gong Jing, which is the most precious treasure of the workers in our hands?"
""Gong Jing"? Is it the style ink of the Shi family?"
