Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Because the water in Fuxian Lake is too deep, no one has dared to dive into the bottom of the lake to prove the existence of the ancient city.

But the locals swear that they can see the ancient city underwater from the top of the mountain.

This legend has covered Fuxian Lake with a veil of secrets.

In order to confirm the legend, in 2005, the country sent an underwater archaeological team.

At this time, technology had made great progress, and they could not enter the bottom of the lake, but they could use robots to detect that the ancient city was actually a complex of eight buildings.

The tallest one is 20 meters tall, equivalent to a ten-story building.

And its structure is pyramid-shaped.

In addition, a huge building similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum was also discovered underwater.

There is also a stone road more than 300 meters long.

It was obvious that someone had once lived here.

Combined with local folklore, there are two common views in the industry.

The first is that this is the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Another theory is that this is Yu Yuancheng.

According to legend, during the Warring States Period, the Chu State wanted to expand its sphere of influence, so it sent generals to Yunnan and conquered the local ethnic minorities by force.

He was supposed to return in triumph, but when he returned to the dynasty, he happened to encounter the invasion of Qin.

The Chu State was in danger, so the general gave up returning to Chu State, returned to Yunnan, and proclaimed himself king.

It is also known as King Zhuang Qi of Dian in history, which is also the earliest ancient Dian Kingdom.

It is a pity that the ancient Dian civilization was relatively weak in culture. After the unification of Qin, they also integrated into the Central Plains civilization.

Due to the lack of written records, the ancient Dian culture was lost.

What their past life was like has become an unsolved mystery.

Another legend is that the Western Han Dynasty established Yu Yuancheng in the Fuxian Lake area.

According to the "Hanshu Geography" record: Yuyuan County, Yizhou County "The pond is in the south, where the bridge water comes out, and it reaches Wudanwenwen in the east, traveling thousands of nine hundred miles."

The "pool" recorded in history books actually refers to Fuxian Lake.

Because in ancient times, Fuxian Lake was not called this name, it was only called Dachi.

The bridge is the Tiechi River, not just Huaning County, and Wen refers to today's Nanpan River.

With this series of evidence laid out, some historians believe that Yu Yuan refers to the north of Fuxian Lake.

In Chengjiang County, as long as you are an elderly person, you have more or less heard the stories passed down from generation to generation.

Zhuge Liang once personally acted as a matchmaker and betrothed Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yinping to Li Hui's son Li Wei.

They lived in Yu Yuancheng and taught the local people how to farm and weave.

Unfortunately, Yu Yuancheng's records end here.

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was no relevant news.

Only the locals in Chengjiang have been spreading this legend: "Yu Yuancheng and the people inside were all sunk to the bottom of the lake."

The legend is somewhat similar to Atlantis.

Unknowingly, Lin Ran shared the information in its memory, of course hiding the part of the archaeological team.

Only what is recorded in the history books is mentioned.

Now not only Yao Wei, but also the boatman forgot to punt the boat.

"Little brother, you know Fuxian Lake better than us locals." The boatman praised.

They decided to visit Gushan Island, and the boatman paddled his boat and swam toward the center of the lake.

Yao Wei was also amazed: "I have been in Chengjiang for so long, but I have never heard of the legend of the third lady."

It is normal for the younger generation not to understand.

"Hey, in fact, the local museum has some collection of cultural relics pulled from the lake, but the specific age has not been determined yet, so it has not been put on display."

Yao Wei sighed. Originally, he wanted to take them to the museum for a visit.

However, if there are no items on display, ordinary people like them will naturally not be able to see them.

Lin Ran vaguely remembered that the deepest point of Fuxian Lake was 150 meters, and there might indeed be an underground ancient city.

However, with the current level of technology, it is not easy to get to the bottom of the lake.

If it really was an underground ancient city, he really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

You should know that in his era, no one went down there.

What actually changed was that one year there was no rain for six consecutive months, and the water level of Fuxian Lake dropped a lot, a full 100 meters.

It was the best time for archeology, but unfortunately everyone at that time was busy fighting the drought and had no intention of doing archeology.

point in time...

Exactly one year later!

Lin Ran secretly made a note of it. At that time, he only had to dive ten meters to see the ancient underground city.

At this time, Yao Wei mentioned another thing.

"Actually, I have heard of another legend." He smiled, since today was just a story gathering, "It is rumored that there is a secret passage in Yu Yuancheng, or the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom as you mentioned, on Gushan Mountain, which can lead to Go to the bottom.”

"The materials used there are very special and can be waterproof for thousands of years." He said with a bit of embarrassment, "It's funny, my father often told me when I was a child that there are a group of water ghosts living under the water, which are the ghosts of Yu Yuancheng."

Such a magical legend?

Can you sink to the bottom and still be connected to the shore?

If such a building really existed, the archaeological team would have discovered it long ago.

Then they talked about other legends about Fuxian Lake.

Fuxian Lake is rich in big fish. A fisherman once caught a big herring that was 1.3 meters long and weighed [-] kilograms.

This fish was reluctant to eat, so it was collected by a local museum. It was preserved with potion and put on display in the museum.

Yao Wei was very proud when talking about this, because in addition to collecting antiques, he is also a fishing enthusiast.

Although Lin Ran didn't know much about fishing, he had heard about the legend of the giant fish in Fuxian Lake.

In 2002, this record had already been broken. On display in the local museum was a 75-kilogram king herring. It can only be said that each generation is getting better than the last.

Of course, this matter must not be told to Yao Wei. Lin Ran and Zheng Xueming just praised the water quality of Fuxian Lake for its good quality and suitable for fish farming.

"It's a pity that you came too late. At the junction of summer and autumn, you can see a large area of ​​black water in the water over there. It is full of big herrings, crowded one by one, swimming around the island, just like the coming of all nations."

Yao Wei thought to himself, coming here just before the Chinese New Year, he really missed the most beautiful scenery of Fuxian Lake.

Lin Ran didn't think so. He cared more about the culture behind it than the natural scenery here.

Especially the ancient city under the water, there will be a severe drought next year, which will last only a short time, and will return to its original state the next year.

He must grasp the timing and take this opportunity to find out.

I made up my mind.

In the midst of chatting and laughing, the boat finally approached Gushan Island.

It is obviously not developed yet. There is only a man-made grassland that provides a road to the center of the island.

"I'll wait for you on the shore. You can go and play by yourself."

The boatman smiled, then took off his straw hat, stood on the shore and fanned the wind leisurely.
