I saw that in this mural, Du Yu really jumped into a well filled with colorful rays of light.
This well is located behind the Salt Goddess statue at the Salt Lake Valley Temple.
Around the well, four high priests stood, holding sacrificial vessels, as if they were performing some kind of sacrificial ritual...
"Is Du Yu going to explore under the well? What will be in the well?" Mo Lian asked doubtfully.
"Is he going to the well to find something valuable?" Yajma also looked puzzled.
"Is there some monster in this well that is causing harm to the Salt Lake Valley, and Du Yu is going to get rid of it for the people?" Guapi also frowned and guessed.
"Let's go see the next mural, we should have the answer."
Jiang Zhonglou led everyone to look at the next mural.
In the mural, Du Yu was already down the well, walking forward along a tunnel at the bottom of the well.
The tunnel at the bottom of the well is very strange, like a snake's tail, extending forward...
"I'll go... the secret passage at the bottom of the well seems to have been created by the salt girl's long tail!" Guapi shouted.
"Yes, this well is right behind the statue of the Goddess of Salt. She should have dug this secret passage with her divine power!" Yajma nodded.
"The strange thing is that Du Yu went down before the tunnel was dug..."
Mo Lian pointed to the mural: "Look, Du Yu is walking forward in the tunnel, and the tunnel seems to be extending continuously in front of him. The end part looks like a snake's tail, which has not yet been dug out..."
"I think what this painting means is that Du Yu is using a mysterious power to dig a tunnel behind the Salt Goddess Statue..."
Jiang Zhonglou thought: "So, the tunnel looks like the tail of the salt girl's snake, extending as Du Yu advances..."
"Yes, it should be like this..."
"But, what is Du Yu doing by digging this secret passage?"
"Where is he going to dig this secret tunnel?"
Everyone was confused.
"Let's move on to the next mural..."
Jiang Zhonglou took everyone to look at the next mural.
I saw the underground secret passage carved above, which extended to the back of a valley, then turned and went straight upward, forming a well...
Huge colorful rays of light are ejected from the wellhead, making the entire sky colorful...
Du Yu flew out of the well and was sprayed into the sky by colorful rays of light. He was flying in the air as if falling from the sky...
A group of people on the ground in the distance looked at Du Yu flying in the sky. They all opened their mouths in surprise. Some people even knelt on the ground, stroking their chests and saluting...
"It turns out that Du Yu went into the well not to look for something, but to leave the Salt Lake Valley and go to a new place..." Mo Lian thought thoughtfully.
"Then why didn't he just go out through the secret passage under Baziying?" Yajima asked.
"Of course I'm afraid that someone will discover the Salt Lake Valley..."
Jiang Zhonglou sighed: "Salt Lake Valley is the base camp of Ba She Zhi Ba. There is also an extremely important sacrificial place hidden at the bottom of the Salt Lake, as well as the altar and temple of the Salt Girl... Therefore, this place must not be discovered.
of...
That’s why Du Yu, with the help of Yan Nu’s magical power, dug this secret passage from the water well to the outside world..."
"Well, not bad!" Everyone nodded.
"This secret passage reminds me of something..." Jiang Zhonglou thought.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at Jiang Zhonglou in confusion.
"It is recorded in Yang Xiong's "The Book of the King of Shu" that there was a man named Du Yu who fell from the sky and stopped Zhuti. A woman with fame and fortune came out of the well in Jiangyuan and became the wife of Du Yu. She then established herself as the King of Shu.
, called Emperor Wang..."
Jiang Zhonglou pondered: "The translation means that a man named Du Yu fell from the sky and landed in a place called Zhuti...
There was also a woman named Li who came out of the well...
Du Yu married Li as his wife, made himself king, and was titled Emperor Wang."
"Let me go...the woman who came out of the well? Isn't this Sadako from the horror movie?"
Guapi smiled and said, "Isn't this woman named Li looking as disgusting and terrifying as Sadako?"
"Forehead..."
Everyone frowned.
"Of course this woman named Li is very beautiful and normal..."
Jiang Zhonglou thought: "I guess she should be the wife chosen by Ba Shezhiba for Du Yu. She also came to Shu from the Salt Lake Valley through the water well channel dug by Du Yu, and married Du Yu...
.
"Huayang Guozhi - Shu Zhi" also records that at that time, Zhu Ti had Liang's daughter Li, who traveled to Jiangyuan. Yu was pleased with her and took her as his concubine. He moved to Piyi and became king of the seven kingdoms. Du Yu became emperor and was named Emperor Wang...
The translation is that Zhu Ti had a woman named Liang Li who was visiting Jiangyuan. Du Yu liked her beauty very much, so he made Liang Li his concubine and moved the capital to Pixian...
The leaders of the seven tribes in the country are all called kings, and Du Yu is called emperor, with the title of Emperor Wang...
Although it does not say that Liang Li came out of the well, it also records the history of Du Yu marrying Liang Li and establishing the capital of Pidi...
Pi Di is the Pidu District of the current capital of Shu. It has been the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom since the time of Du Yu..."
"I know this. The Pixian bean paste we eat comes from Pidu District. I even went to Pidu District to buy some a while ago!" Foodie Sanya said with a smile.
"That's right, Pidi used to be called Pixian County, but now it has been merged into Shudu City and is called Pidu District..."
Jiang Chonglou said: "And Zhuti is a mountain. In what is now Zhaotong, it is located in the transition zone between the Sichuan-Shu Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is bordered by the Jinsha River to the west and Yibin to the north. In ancient times, it was the southern part of Shu...
So I speculate that when Du Yu came of age, he used the power of the Salt Girl to dig a secret tunnel for water wells from the Salt Lake Valley, which traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers from underground to Pidi near the capital of Shu, and broke through the ground...
Unexpectedly, the power of the well was too powerful, and he was sprayed into the sky. He flew hundreds of kilometers and landed in Zhuti Mountain, hundreds of kilometers away..."
"Is the exit of this well actually in the capital of Shu? I thought it was in Zhuti..." Yajima was stunned.
"Brother Jiang's analysis should be correct. This well should be in the capital of Shu..."
Mo Lian said: "Looking at the height and arc of Du Yu's flight on the mural, he should have flown hundreds of kilometers. Therefore, the exit of this well cannot be in Zhuti."
"Brother Jiang and Mo Lian both have rich experience in flying in the sky, so their guess is definitely correct!" Guapi said with a smile.
"When people in Zhuti Mountain saw Du Yu descending from the sky, they all thought he was a god descended from heaven, so they joined him and became his subordinates..."
Jiang Chonglou continued: "Du Yu should be the one who led the people from Zhuti Mountain to overthrow the Shu dynasty led by White Tiger, and became the king of Shu himself...
Ba Shezhiba of the Salt Lake Valley chose a princess named Liang Li for Du Yu and let her fly out through a secret tunnel underground...
Maybe someone saw Liang Li flying out of the well, so there is a legend that she came out of the well...
Liang Li must have landed in Zhuti. Maybe no one saw him when he landed, so there was no legend left...
She walked north from Zhuti and met Du Yu in Jiangyuan...
Or perhaps, Du Yu knew that Liang Li had come out of the well, so he went to greet him and met Liang Li in Jiangyuan...
So, they got married and established a new dynasty of Shu, with their capital in Pi."
"So, this well connects the Salt Lake Valley and Shudu, and the exit is somewhere in Pidu District..."
Mo Lian frowned: "When Du Yu was surrounded by turtle spirits later, he probably escaped back to the Salt Lake Valley through this well, right?"
"Since this well connects the capital of Shu and the Salt Lake Valley, why doesn't Du Yu go out for revenge through this well? Is it necessary to transform into a cuckoo?" Yajima pondered.
"None of this is important..."
Jiang Zhonglou sighed: "The important thing is that Mo Bian should have repaired this well passage. They must use this passage to easily travel between the capital of Shu and the Salt Lake Valley!"
