Chapter 215 Zi Shou: Have You Dug up My Ancestral Graves? 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
The so-called Si Hou dispute refers to the dispute over the name of Simu Wuding.
When it was first unearthed, the inscription "Si Mu Wu" was widely recognized by archaeological and academic circles. However, in the past few years, some people used a specious sentence in "Shuowen Jie Zi" to say that it should be called Hou Mu Wu. tripod.
"Si" is one of the earliest Chinese characters confirmed in oracle bone inscriptions. Priest was also a very important position in the Shang Dynasty. However, the person who proposed changing the name felt that this character was very low-level and was not worthy of appearing on the royal sacrificial vessels of the Shang Dynasty, so he proposed changing it to "after".
In other words, other Si in the oracle bone inscriptions are normally pronounced as Si, but the Si of Simu Wuding must be pronounced as after... For this farce, Li Yu always felt that it was a modern version of pretending to be a deer.
Of course, it is possible that both parties are wrong, and there is no final conclusion on this matter in the past, but Zishou, the Shang king, has come to modern society, so he can naturally reveal the correct reading.
Li Yu turned on his phone, searched for the inscription on Simu Wuding and showed it to Zi Shou:
"How to read this?"
Zi Shou glanced at it and then said:
"Concubine Si Wu... Concubine Wu? Isn't this the title given to his wife by our ancestor Wu Ding? Where does this tripod come from?"
Li Yu: "..."
If I say it was dug out of your ancestral grave, will you be angry?
Unexpectedly, modern people not only make mistakes in words, but also fail to master the pronunciation. If you want to publish a paper, it should be published in a first-class journal, right?
Li Yu did not answer Zi Shou's question, but dug out Simu Xin Ding from Fu Hao's tomb and asked:
"what about this?"
"Concubine Si Xin... Concubine Xin is the title given to another wife by our ancestor Wu Ding. Are you digging up my ancestral grave?"
Damn, it turns out that the pronunciation is like this. Sure enough, you have to ask a professional... Li Yu said:
"This was discovered through archaeological excavations. It's very difficult to study the culture of your time. You can't even distinguish the characters... Isn't this mother? Why is it pronounced concubine?"
After hearing the two talking about this, Liu Bei also ran over holding an Oracle research document, wanting to hear an explanation from a professional.
Zishou pointed to the words referring to his concubine, and then supported his chest with his hands:
"The characters are read as "fei" with the characteristics of breastfeeding, and the characters are pronounced as "fei" without the characteristics of breastfeeding. Can't you see such an obvious difference?"
Li Yu: "..."
Who would have thought that there is such a difference in the same text?
He searched some pictures of oracle bone inscriptions and found that they did have the features Zisheng mentioned. They looked like concubines, but had female breast features in the middle.
Needless to say, the person who invented the bronze inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty was quite easy on the eyes.
Liu Bei asked a few more questions about the oracle bones, and Zi Shou answered them all fluently.
Gee, I really should drag Professor Zhou over to listen. She will definitely be able to publish a blockbuster academic paper every month.
But when this beauty comes, she will probably study Zishou's height immediately. It is definitely not normal for someone so tall to be as agile as a monkey.
After Zishou finished popularizing the knowledge about identifying oracle bone inscriptions, he also learned how to use a SLR camera.
Li Yu took the opportunity to ask for Chao Ge's living materials, and Zi Shou readily agreed:
"We just finished counting the households recently. Let me go back and give you a copy. As for food, we only have a few simple plants, and the taste is much worse than here."
After saying that, Zi Shou asked with a complicated mood:
"Is there still Chaoge City today?"
"It's gone long ago. Even the ruins are no longer identifiable. The ruins of palaces and royal tombs from the Wuding period are nearby. Do you want to take a look?"
If you go, you have to find a rainy day when there are not many people there, so that you don't get crowded by tourists.
"Forget it, I'm worried that I won't be able to control my emotions and beat up those who are digging."
Li Yu suddenly thought of Professor Zhou in camouflage uniforms, and tried his best not to let her meet Zi Shou in the future, let alone reveal her work content.
Professor Zhou is the big financier of the B&B, so he cannot be beaten away.
Zishou learned how to use a camera, and was dragged to the tin house by Liu Bei, where he continued to identify oracle bone inscriptions.
Zhang Fei held the dumbbells and worked hard to strengthen his strength. Li Yu thought of Shan Xiongxin again. I wonder how this old man is doing in the Water Margin world. Is he leaving for Qilin Village now?
Lu Bu was also thinking about him:
"When Brother Shan goes to the Water Margin world, the secrets there will be disturbed, and some of the more rubbish Liangshan heroes will be killed. I don't know who will be the first lucky one."
Wu Song smiled bitterly and said:
"It's a pity that I didn't meet the Liangshan heroes along the way, otherwise I really wanted to give it a try."
Lao Guan lost in boxing in the morning and arm wrestling in the afternoon. He was feeling depressed. When he heard about this topic, he joined in:
"A group of people who are full of evil deeds pretend to be heroes... Fortunately, Erlang escaped, and Master Lu was also preparing to go to Qilin Village, otherwise he would have been tainted by the Liangshan bandits."
He was ready to go to the Water Margin world and kill a group of Liangshan heroes first.
How can a group of people who purge the demonic energy and return to the heaven be worthy of becoming gods in heaven?
As a severe case of moral mysophobia, Lao Guan really couldn't stand the behavior of most of the heroes in Liangshan. Of course, he couldn't stand the behavior of most of the heroes in Liangshan. Of course, he couldn't stand the fact that Guan Sheng, a descendant of the Guan family, was collaborating with Liangshan.
If you have the chance, you must wake him up!
Lu Bu saw Zhang Fei huffing and puffing and practicing non-stop, and couldn't help but remind him:
"Don't be too busy. Be careful of strain. There's no shame in not being able to beat him. It's unusual for him to be able to beat him at his size..."
"I can't take this breath!"
Zhang Fei didn't say what he meant, just made a casual prevarication and went to the gym.
Humph, when I get stronger, even if I can't beat Zi Shou, I can definitely beat Bingzhou's kid into confusion!
Zi Shou was still very efficient. He sent some information on the Yin Shang Dynasty that night, but it was all written in oracle bones and could not be given directly to Zhou Ruotong. Liu Bei had to translate it.
In addition to Chaoge's demographic information, there are also detailed records of eating habits, clothing, etc.
Zishou handed the information to Liu Bei for translation, took out the card camera from his pocket, and said excitedly:
"The grand master tried this thing and found it very useful. He flew into the air to take photos around Chaoge. He also used great magic to hide the traces of everyone in the city. Sir, please take a look!"
Damn it, Wen Zhong is too interesting, right?
For this reason, we must save his life so that this veteran of the Shang Dynasty can have a better ending.
Li Yu took the camera and looked through the photos inside. There were overhead shots of the entire Chaoge City, ordinary people's thatched houses and courtyards, farmland outside the city, the appearance of crops, and even clothes hanging to dry. It's very complicated and rich. I heard that Master Wen put a lot of effort into it!
You can choose on the computer later and pick out the representative ones for Zhou Ruotong.
But you have to agree with her that you can refer to it, but you can't make it public as information. This thing can be big or small, and you can't cause trouble for the B&B by helping.
Putting the camera away, Li Yu gave Zishou a gift package for beginners, including a mobile phone, tablet, and solar panel.
Thinking of Wen Zhong's hard work for the Shang Dynasty, he got another set for the grand master.
"Has the clay you took away been sent to Nuwa Palace?"
After teaching Zishou how to use modern technological items, Li Yu asked about business matters.
If the clay is not delivered or lost, it will have to be delivered again to avoid delaying the queen's plan.
"It's been delivered. Huang Feihu also said that the Empress Nuwa appeared, but he didn't tell me exactly what the Empress said. Instead, he went to discuss with Prime Minister Wen Taishi and others outside the palace."
Good guy, it’s still a secret, right?
Li Yu thought about it and felt that it should be related to the incense burning in Nuwa Palace. Just a psychological suggestion was not safe. He had to tell the officials of the Shang Dynasty in advance to pay more attention and not let history repeat itself.
After all, it was Tiandao who did it himself, so there would be more insurance.
Lu Bu didn't leave at night. After practicing martial arts with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he was about to take a shower and stay in the warehouse. He had a good chat with Liu Guan and Zhang. When he saw Zi Shou coming again, he waved his hand and said:
"Have a hot pot meal. On such a rainy night, only hot pot can warm your heart and stomach. It also allows Zi Shou to experience the diversity of food in later generations."
You are such a hot pot fan.
But it’s really good to make some hot-pot dishes in the evening, so just do it, Li Yu and Lu Bu are ready to go.
First, set up dining tables and chairs in the warehouse, stir-fry the hot pot base ingredients with onions, ginger, dried chilies and other ingredients, pour them into an oversized electric hot pot, and then prepare a pot of frozen hot pot meatballs and a large tray full of meat slices.
In addition, some vermicelli, wide noodles, sweet potato chips, green vegetables, tofu, kelp and other ingredients were also prepared. The whole table was filled to the brim, and Zishou was dumbfounded:
"It's so rich?"
Lu Bu said:
"You will learn from it later and do it for Master Wen and the others when you go back. We can gather together to eat hot pot and chat, which can bring the relationship between the monarch and his ministers closer."
In Lu Fengxian's life dictionary, there is no relationship that cannot be won over a hot pot meal.
If so, then fight again!
When the hot pot started boiling, the spicy smell penetrated his nostrils, and Zi Shou couldn't wait to scoop up a bowl of soup to enjoy it first.
Li Yu felt that since the empress had established contact with the Fengshen World, it was time to talk to her about the plans for the Fengshen World.
He told everyone to eat and drink well, and then walked to the scenic spot holding an umbrella.
As soon as she arrived within 500 meters of the statue, the empress asked:
"You came here on such a dark and rainy night. Is there anything important?"
Li Yu strolled to the statue:
"I just want to know how the empress plans to lay out the world of the gods... Wen Zhong will set off to Beihai to quell the rebellion in two years. Heaven deliberately sent him away, and he has been busy for more than ten years before coming back. How to solve it?"
Nuwa smiled softly:
"It won't take that long this time."
"Why?"
"The giant North Sea monster that Wen Zhongping rebelled against was arranged by me... In addition to being the mother of the human race, I am also the mother of the monster race. It's okay to order a few monsters to cause trouble for a while."
Hey, I thought you had just started the story of becoming a god, but I didn’t expect you to be a serious participant!
From the earliest incense offerings in Nuwa's palace, to the nine-tailed fox that charmed King Zhou, to the reincarnation of the spirit bead, to the rebellion of the giant monster in the North Sea, etc., empresses are everywhere.
Didn't God grant you the title of a little assist expert?
As soon as I thought of this, my mother suddenly lost her mind:
"You just need to let your son be encouraged to work hard and develop well. I will slowly advance the layout of the fairy level."
With your words, I feel relieved... Li Yu didn't stay long and went back holding an umbrella.
In the next two days, Zishou came over occasionally, gradually learned about modern society, and also learned some modern writing from Liu Bei. Everything went on steadily.
During this period, Zishou also cooked in person, and invited Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, Bigan and other veterans to have a hot pot meal together in the Fengshen World, expressing that the great Shang Dynasty was about to run out of energy and needed to carry out a reform to turn the tide. The national destiny of Dashang continued.
In the world of cultivating immortals, it is no secret that Da Shang Qi only has thirty years left. Wen Zhong ate hot pot and explained to everyone, and by the way, he introduced Zi Shou's fate of catching the unexpected.
The Great Dao is fifty and Tianyan is forty-nine. What escapes is not only variables, but also vitality and miracles.
But now that Zi Shou has actually grasped the variable, this not only means that there is hope for Dashang, but also for the entire Jiejiao.
I have intercepted that ray of life that I have been searching for so hard!
Although the veterans were puzzled, they ate delicious food and saw modern technological items, so they thought they could give it a try.
Although Bigan is stubborn, he is not pedantic. He just reminds Zishou not to forget the methods of his ancestors.
In this way, the Shang Dynasty finalized a series of major reform matters within the Shang Dynasty, but the specific implementation must be carried out step by step and cannot be rushed.
Wen Zhong also wrote a thank-you letter to Li Yu using animal skins, but Li Yu couldn't understand it at all, and Zi Shou left in a hurry, so he could only put it into the safe temporarily until Liu Bei finished studying the oracle bones.
Lu Bu in Xingyang City has been free recently and was forced to study by Jia Xu, so he always went to the B&B and formed the administrator Sanzha with Zishou and Mu Guiying.
Qin Qiong came once and wanted to inquire about Shan Xiongxin's current situation, but Yue Fei never came. Lao Shan and the others were still in Qingzhou and had not returned to Qilin Village, so Wu Song did not know the situation there.
After Brother Qin left, Mu Guiying, who had been busy traveling recently and had not come to the B&B, suddenly came to the real world with a large cart of messy armor and weapons.
"Haha, these weapons will be given to whomever the administrator of the world praises me for being beautiful!"
Li Yu thought that this girl had bought another second-hand weapon, but he found that many of the weapons were stained with blood, and some armors also had scraps of meat on them...
My day, what is going on?
He took two steps back and saw that the warehouse door was open, and quickly closed it, fearing that someone would come in at this moment.
Mu Guiying drove the fifth wheel aside and then said:
"On our way to withdraw, soldiers and horses from several surrounding state capitals were anxious about the weapons and fireworks that could disperse the cavalry. They secretly gathered to plunder them, but I led my troops to capture them with a single counterattack."
Although he was a bandit, he was set up as a female marshal. He used binoculars and a drone to see that there were people following him nearby. Mu Guiying immediately found a nearby mountain stream to ambush.
First use fireworks and artillery to explode randomly, and then lead the troops to charge, successfully ending the battle.
She was worried about the lack of labor force in Muke Village, and the appearance of these soldiers was a timely help.
They were still cleaning up the battlefield and collecting prisoners. Before they were done, the girl finished speaking and was about to unload the bloody weapons and armor to the ground, but was stopped by Li Yu.
Let Gouzi shake Lu Bu over, and the two scumbags changed cars and drove back to their own worlds.
When he came back again, Lu Bu had wiped the carriage clean, and the cart of equipment that Mu Guiying brought back had more blood and minced meat. Li Yu simply left the warehouse and came back after the two of them had finished their work.
Two hours later, it was finally over. Mu Guiying packed a cart of compressed biscuits and left in a hurry, planning to take the prisoners back quickly to avoid sending troops from other state capitals.
After she left, Lu Bu said with joy:
"I didn't expect that the Bingzhou Army's weapons could be upgraded and updated once before entering Chang'an. It's really rare."
Not only are there more weapons, but what is more valuable is that there are a lot more armors, and these are the mainstream Zhajia of the Song Dynasty, which are the predecessors of Burenjia.
For the soldiers of the late Han Dynasty, this kind of armor was simply a dimensionality-reducing blow.
And the biggest advantage of Zhajia is that it can be replaced and adjusted at any time, and it can be re-tied. It can be called a war artifact.
Li Yu also didn't expect Mu Guiying to be so brave and good at fighting. He felt that this carefree female bandit still had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield. She would not be merciful when it was time to take action, and would seize the opportunity to immediately counterattack.
As long as the prisoners can be successfully escorted back to Muke Village, within a week, these prisoners will be carrying a big pot of food, shouting slogans, and become the most loyal force in Muke Village.
Being able to have enough to eat was really a huge temptation for ancient people.
After Lu Bu left, Li Yu found Liu Bei and asked him about the translation status of the Chaoge City materials. If it was completed, he would send it to Professor Zhou along with the photos.
He promised to help her, but he never took action. Isn't this a big lie?
After walking out of the warehouse, Li Yu was about to go to the study room when Yue Fei's voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Sir, Fei has something to report!"
Li Yu turned his face and saw Yue Fei trotting over, and asked quickly:
"How is Second Brother Shan? Second Brother Qin asked about his situation in the morning, but there has been no news. I am very worried about him."
After a narrow escape, he brought his brother out of the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties, only to go to another world in the blink of an eye. It would be false to say that Qin Qiong was not worried, because he was afraid of harming Shan Xiongxin.
Yue Fei came to Li Yu and took out the action camera from his arms:
"Brother Shan is very good. He is especially adapted to the environment of the Water Margin and Yue World. He has also become friends with Master Lu, Yang Zhi, Cao Zheng and others..."
Damn, this person is worried to death, but he is quite nourishing.
But it's quite normal when you think about it. Brother Shan was a bandit leader in the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Now that he has gone to the World of Water Margin, isn't it just like returning to his own home?
He may not know how to deal with women, but when it comes to bandits, Shan and Er Ge can accurately detect each other's pulse with his eyes closed.
Li Yu took the action camera and asked:
"Is this the latest thing you took?"
Yue Fei shook his head and reported:
"No, this is the record of Brother Shan's actions in the Water Margin world... That day we went down the mountain to return to Qilin Village. Brother Shan looked at the map and found that it was not far from Qingfeng Mountain, so he turned a corner and found Wang Ying. In less than three seconds, chop off his head!"
What?
Brother Shan killed Wang Ying?
Li Yu was very surprised. He never thought that the first kill of the Water Margin hero would come so quickly.
"Brother Shan said that my husband has always been thinking about getting rid of those evil bandits. He didn't know how to repay him, so he gave him a try. I didn't expect Wang Ying to be so weak!"
After going to the New World, I still miss the B&B. I am truly worthy of being the number one hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
Li Yu felt warm in his heart, full of admiration for Shan Xiongxin.
How lucky I am to know such a great hero who is so righteous and true to his word!
After calming down his excitement, Li Yu asked:
"Wang Ying is dead, what about Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou?"
"The two of them were on Qingfeng Mountain to entertain Song Jiang, who had just come as a guest. They did not come down the mountain... Brother Shan asked me to ask, if we encounter Song Jiang, should we kill him directly?"
