Chapter 594: The Mystery of the Disappearance of the Khitans

82_82884 month dark wind high night, murder and arson day.

Gu Yue paced anxiously, but Wushuang had already regarded touching the gold inverted bucket as a common thing, and was still giggling with Lan Caidie on the side.

According to the analysis of the existing historical situation, it is very likely that the person buried in this Khitan tomb is Yeluchen. Very few Khitan tombs have been excavated so far, which is related to the funerary culture of the Khitan people, who pay attention to deep burials and have no tombstones on the tombs. Even the seasoned Tufuzi is hard to spot. Now on the market, even a Khitan tile is priceless.

There are many mysteries about the mysterious people of the Khitans, and the biggest mystery in the academic world is the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of the Khitans.

In the long scroll of China's magnificent history, there was a clan of eagles fighting in the sky - the Khitan. The Great Liao State established by this nation, spanning the inside and outside of the Great Wall, with the Liaohe River Valley in the north of our country as the core area, has vigorously created more than 200 years of glory in the land of China, and miraculously left one surprise and one mystery after another, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Where did the millions of people go?

The scenery of the Xilamulun River Basin, the birthplace of the Khitan people.

The ruins of the brick tower of the Liao Dynasty in the Liao River Basin.

The headwaters of the Xilamulun River, the birthplace of the Khitans, have now been built into the Xiangwei Hydropower Station.

From the establishment of the Khitan state by Yelu Abaoji in 916 A.D. to the capture of Liao by Yelu Yanxi in 1125 A.D., the Liao state lasted for a total of 209 years. After the fall of Liao, the eighth grandson of Abaoji, Yelu Dashi, established the Western Liao in 1124, which existed for more than 90 years and was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty in 1218. But what is puzzling is that with the demise of the Great Liao Empire, the Khitan nation, which once had a population of more than 1.2 million at the most, also disappeared without a trace.

More than 1.2 million people is not a small number, in ancient times, 1.2 million troops could even dominate the Central Plains, and the Khitan people left behind these tribal populations disappeared overnight, for this, scholars have always been inconsistent, can not be unified.

According to Lan Caidie, Yeluchen is the last generation of descendants of the Liao Kingdom, and he is the great-great-grandson of Qu Zhulu, the last emperor of Western Liao. Xiliao is located between China's current Xinjiang and Sichuan, so why did he, his great-great-grandson, come to the northeast?

Wushuang analysis, at that time Jilin should have been annexed by the Mongol Empire early, the Songhua River along the territory may be Genghis Khan's territory, although Genghis Khan thwarted the Western Liao, but the Mongols and the Khitan people have a relationship, in the early Middle Ages, before the rise of the Mongol Empire, the northern land belongs to the Great Liao State, the Great Liao State is composed of two ethnic groups, one is the Khitans, the other is the Jurchens, that is, the founder of the later Dajin State.

The hatred between the Khitans and the Jurchens ended in the world, and it was the Jurchens who finally split the Great Liao State, and then there was the Dajin State Wanyan Clan to unify the Central Plains.

Then there is a possibility here, when the powerful Mongol Empire under the leadership of Genghis Khan continued to expand their territory, the ambitions of the same Jurchens in the northeast of the great rear have not been completely extinguished, and the Jurchens are good at riding and shooting, as long as Nurhachi neglects to take precautions, they may revivenation.

It was best to let the descendants of the Khitans manage the land, as the two tribes already had a deep hatred.

However, it is recorded that the last Khan king of the Khitan people can be traced back to Yeluchen, that is to say, after Yeluchen's death, the last Khitan tribe also disappeared from this ancient country, and no one knows where the Khitan people went.

"If this is really the ancient tomb of Yeluchen, then there will definitely be some words about the mysterious disappearance of the Khitan people in his ancient tomb. If we find this, then we are about to discover a big secret. The more Wushuang thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Ancestor, do you care about those fames? If we can come out of the Khitan tomb alive, we will burn high incense. Second Master Ma sighed.

Stopping it will definitely not stop this young master, Wushuang stretched his waist, carried the guy's business, and beckoned everyone to go down with him.

"Okay, then you can help me pray for blessings from above, Third Grandpa, Caidie, Ancient Brother, Li Dahai, follow me to the tomb!" Wushuang lit a torch and led the other four into the dark Khitan tomb.

The stone wall paintings in the tomb have been exposed to the air in the past few days, so the corroded ones have long been unable to see their original faces, and they know that this Khitan tomb is not as good as their own exploration experience, he does not dare to be careless, and he stops while walking, and carefully observes every corner of the tomb with a torch. Even the slightest carelessness can make everyone fold and never get out.

However, the tomb was very quiet, and after walking for a long time, there was no mechanism appearing, and finally, I finally saw two points of light not far away, which should be the brazier that Gu Tiance dictated that would spontaneously combust. If nothing else, behind the two braziers is an arched stone door, and behind the stone gate is supposed to be the suspension bridge, which leads directly to the main burial chamber.

"Master, you see, it's almost the same as what my grandfather said. ”

Wushuang stood in front of the arched door and looked at the abyss under his feet, and pulled the rope of the suspension bridge, which was nearly eight hundred years old, and the wooden planks below had long since decayed, and he tried to step on it and immediately left a footprint on the rotten wooden planks.

"The coffin your grandfather said was on the other side?"

"That's right, it's in the tomb on the other side, it's supposed to be a hanging coffin, and my grandfather doesn't know what he saw under the coffin in the morning. Master, if nothing else, that thing should still be there, shall we go over?" Gu Yue said urgently.

Wushuang thought for a moment, but still shook his head.

"No, it's not the main burial chamber at all, and it can't fool me. This suspension bridge could not bear more than 300 catties of weight even at that time, how did the coffin of the tomb owner be transported in?"

"You have a point, but the gold and silver in that coffin can't be fake, right?"

Wushuang smiled and said, silly boy, you are still too tender, the ancients' anti-theft methods are much smarter than our modern people, this should have been a suspicious tomb, what is a suspicious tomb? If there is no gold or silver here, how can it attract tomb robbers? Once the tomb robbers enter through the guò drawbridge, they will not be able to come back.

"Then my grandfather ......" Facts speak louder than words, Gu Yue wants to say, didn't my grandfather go home safe and sound?

"Brother Gu, are you so sure, it's your grandfather himself who came back in the morning?" -- 513549 + CQSQC + 594 -- >.
