1351 Lost Dynasty
The first rain of autumn fell outside the window. The current temperature was not enough to turn on the heater, so the house was a little cold.
Xia Wanyuan stood by the window and looked at the rain-soaked leaves outside. A warm blanket fell on her shoulder.
Xia Wanyuan turned around and Jun s.h.i.+ling pulled her into his arms. “What are you thinking about?”
Xia Wanyuan placed her hand in Jun s.h.i.+ling’s coat and absorbed the heat of his body temperature. “I dreamed again last night.”
!!
“What did you dream of?” Jun s.h.i.+ling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair, silently transmitting power to her.
“I dreamed of Xia Wei.” Speaking of Emperor Xia Yuan, Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. “I dreamed that he was in a very dark place and looked straight at me, his eyes filled with pleading.”
No matter how bitter it was in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had always protected Xia Wei and her two younger siblings under her wings. Xia Wei’s sad expression in her dream was something Xia Wanyuan had never seen before.
“I think he’s waiting for me.” Xia Wanyuan looked up at Jun s.h.i.+ling. Her clear eyes were clearly sad.
“Follow me.” Jun s.h.i.+ling hugged Xia Wanyuan and walked to the study.
There was an entire stack of doc.u.ments on the table in the study.
Jun s.h.i.+ling walked over and flipped through them. “I wanted to tell you about these after you gave birth.”
Jun s.h.i.+ling knew that Xia Wanyuan and her younger brother had a deep relations.h.i.+p. He had already found some information. If Xia Wanyuan saw this information, she would definitely be worried.
Initially, he did not plan to tell Xia Wanyuan, but seeing her like this, Jun s.h.i.+ling could not bear it.
Xia Wanyuan sat at the desk and looked at the entire pile of doc.u.ments. The more she read, the more she frowned. However, at the same time, many doubts gradually resolved.
When the ancient tomb of Longqi Mountain did not surface, many related events had already happened worldwide.
However, at that time, no one would a.s.sociate all sorts of seemingly unrelated things.
Now, Jun s.h.i.+ling had gotten someone to organize everything. Many connections that had been ignored had surfaced.
It turned out that more than three hundred years ago, a villager had accidentally entered near Longqi Mountain. When he came out, he was carrying an entire bag of gold, silver, and jewelry.
The villager used this to make a fortune and became the largest rich man in a radius of hundreds of miles. His descendants were also hardworking. They did business, became officials, followed the literary path, and the family prospered. Gradually, they became one of the top families in China. This was the Lin family.
This was also the reason why Linxi City had been the location of the Lin family’s main residence for hundreds of years.
The ancestors of the Feng and Chu families were all from the north. Later on, they moved south to Linxi City.
All ancient families had all sorts of orders and legends pa.s.sed down from their ancestors.
Initially, no one took these so-called prophecies seriously until a hundred years ago, when someone discovered cultural relics around Longqi Mountain that had the same words as the two families who had preserved the antiques.
The Feng and Chu families fought fiercely for those cultural relics until the battle ended. The two families were severely injured.
Something had happened that year. The two big families, Feng and Chu, who had been pa.s.sed down in China for hundreds of years, collectively fled. One went to Continent F, and the other to Continent M.
Other than their abnormal movements, over the years, the prices of cultural relics related to China, the disappeared dynasty, had been extremely high in the underground black market.
Someone even suggested, “As long as you obtain China’s magical sacred artifact, you can change time and s.p.a.ce and control the world.”
However, there were too few things that appeared from the Great Xia Dynasty. Although this legend was secretly circulated in the underground world, most people could not find any obvious clues.
It was only when Xia Wanyuan appeared that the various cultural relics she had inadvertently found and the many comments she had made about the Great Xia Dynasty at various exchanges had long attracted the attention of all parties.
Through Xia Wanyuan’s various hints, some people found clues and finally targeted Longqi Mountain. This was also the reason why Jun s.h.i.+ling and Xia Wanyuan had gone down to the ancient tomb and found a blank coffin.
The real coffin of Emperor Yuan Xia had already been taken away.
Xia Wanyuan flipped through all the information with a serious expression. Then, she looked up at Jun s.h.i.+ling. “You mean that my younger brother can be revived?? Then where did his coffin go??”
“Resurrection is just a legend. If I’m not wrong, the coffin should be in the hands of the Chu family, Chu Yi.”
Hearing Jun s.h.i.+ling’s words, Xia Wanyuan could not help but feel excited. “I want to find him.”
She was thinking that Xia Wei might be visiting her in her dreams to tell her something.
Although she now had a new family and loved ones in the modern world,
However, every time she thought of her younger siblings in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan would always feel sad. Now that she knew that Xia Wei’s coffin had appeared, and there might be Xia Wei’s corpse hidden inside, Xia Wanyuan could not wait to find the coffin.
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s expression, Jun s.h.i.+ling knew what she was thinking. “This is why I don’t want you to know this news.”
Jun s.h.i.+ling gently patted Xia Wanyuan’s back. “It’s useless to be anxious. The Chu family has long left China. It’s as difficult as ascending to the sky to get something from them. We have to consider this matter at length.”
Xia Wanyuan calmed down and knew that Jun s.h.i.+ling was right. She nodded. “Okay, what do you think we should do?”
Jun s.h.i.+ling took the map from the side and pointed at the location of Longqi Mountain.
Xia Wanyuan instantly understood. “You mean, lure the snake out of the hole?”
Jun s.h.i.+ling nodded. “Smart.”
Since everything was caused by Long Qi Mountain, they could use it as bait to attract those who wanted to profit from it again.
Xia Wanyuan’s gaze landed on Longqi Mountain. After a while, she said, “It’s time to let this dynasty appear.”
Jun s.h.i.+ling pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and gently patted her back.
Xia Wanyuan hugged Jun s.h.i.+ling back. “I miss them.”
“We’ll find them.”
The rain outside the window was still falling, and the autumn rain was pattering. In the calm rain, a few thunderclaps suddenly sounded, turning the quiet world upside down.
Ever since the Longqi Mountain Exchange ended, not only had the discussion about the existence of the mysterious dynasty not disappeared, but it had also become more and more intense. Both sides had their own opinions. From the academic world to the archeological world, and from the archeological world to the Internet, more and more people began to join this debate.
Xia Wanyuan had been recuperating recently and was not in the mood to pay attention to this, so she did not know how much the literary world had quarreled.
Under such a deadlock, Xia Wanyuan, who had disappeared from the public eye for two months, suddenly updated a Weibo post.
@ Xia Wanyuan: “I was recuperating and wrote a research thesis.”
Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s post, the fans did not have time to see what specific content she had posted. They shouted and s.n.a.t.c.hed the comments first.
[ Ahhh, G.o.ddess, you’ve finally appeared. You missed us so much. Is your wound better? ]
[Boohoo, I’ve finally waited for our Yuan Yuan to post on Weibo. I missed you so much. I really want to know your current state.]
[I’ll come and reserve a seat first. I’ll come again when I’ve thought of what to say. I’ll just say that everything as long as you’re fine.]
After the netizens expressed their shock and concern, everyone had time to see what Xia Wanyuan had posted.
Everyone was even more shocked.
Because the t.i.tle of Xia Wanyuan’s thesis was “Lost Dynasty”.
The core idea of the entire thesis was that more than 1,300 years ago, there was an extremely prosperous dynasty in Chinese history.
The political, economic, culture, and other standards of that dynasty were ahead of the world. Countries from all directions congratulated them. However, for some unknown reason, this dynasty disappeared in history. However, from the various ancient cultural relics excavated today, such a period of time did indeed exist in Chinese history.
Seeing this thesis, everyone was stunned.
Chinese history books had always paid attention to continuity. How could there be such a powerful dynasty that disappeared completely?
Everyone was puzzled, but Xia Wanyuan’s argument was quite sufficient.
This thesis could be said to have instantly caused an earthquake in the academic world. Overnight, everyone was discussing if this dynasty really existed.
Just as everyone was arguing and pestering, another archeological news suddenly exploded, shocking the entire Internet.
According to the research findings of the Qing University’s archaeology department, an emperor’s tomb had been discovered at the foot of Longqi Mountain.
The furnis.h.i.+ngs and decorations of this emperor’s tomb were different from any dynasty in history.
After comparison at the scene, the various items matched the dynasty Xia Wanyuan had just published.
The netizens were confused.
[I thought it was a rumor that was nonsense. I didn’t expect it to be true?]
[Shocking my entire family. The emperor’s tomb… I didn’t even know that an emperor was buried beside my hometown?? F*ck!]
[ So? Xia Wanyuan’s thesis is right? Could it be that China’s history is going to be rewritten? ]
