In the evening, several people went back temporarily. When Tian Tian came to the United States, Dennis was in charge of reception. Because of an unexpected accident, the work of the day could not be carried out. The two experts went back to the reserved hotel first. When they came, they were originally There were bodyguards to protect them. For safety reasons, the New York City Police Department arranged manpower to cooperate with two bodyguards to protect them, and Tian Tian was placed in a hotel near the police station by Dennis.

After Dennis sent Tian Tian to the hotel, he left. Seeing that Bai Yang followed Dennis, Tian Tian hurriedly chased to the window and looked down, just in time to see Dennis and Bai Yang coming out of the hotel door. Tian Tian hurriedly asked loudly: "Bai Yang, where do you live?"

Bai Yang raised his head and answered her: "I live in her house?"

"Ah?" Tian Tianjue's arrangement seemed not right, but Bai Yang had already left with Dennis.Tian Tian had no choice but to come back, reached out and pulled the pillow over to hug her, then sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, thinking about this Dennis over and over again in her mind, this Dennis is definitely not a good person, looking at Bai Yang, it is obvious that she has already subdued her, her wrist is absolutely Yes, and this woman probably smelled Bai Yang's extraordinaryness from the very beginning, so she stayed close to her. It seemed that even if the case was solved, it would not be so easy for her to take Bai Yang back.

The more Tian Tian thought about it, the more depressed she became. She fell asleep without washing up all night, and she was actually quite tired from tossing and tossing that day. The phone call told her to go to the police station, Tian Tian hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to the police station, but there was no one in Dennis's office, Tian Tian was puzzled, and asked other police officers to find out that they were all in the conference room now inside.

Tian Tian ran to the conference room again, and saw that the conference room was full of people, including the chief of the New York City Police Department, Dennis, Bai Yang, and Si Luo from the special operations team. Tian Tian also walked in. He found a chair and sat behind Bai Yang.

The slides were showing in front of him, and the historian adjusted the clarity while saying: "This is the data stored in my computer that was taken away. It was originally my collection of myths and stories from all over the world."

It seemed that the meeting had just started, Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that I'm not late." Dennis glanced at her and said nothing, Tian Tian concentrated on listening to the speech, and the historian continued: " The contents of these myths are different, the characters are also different, and the origins are completely different. I have done more in-depth and careful research on these myths, and various comparisons have confirmed one thing, that is, some myths have A certain degree of authenticity, just like the unanimous description in many myths that the creation god is a woman, many ancient tombs discovered in modern civilization have proved that human beings lived in a matrilineal society in ancient times, and for example, the unanimous description in mythology Floods, dragons, these are all reminiscent of dinosaurs and the disaster that caused the extinction of dinosaurs. When I first did this research, it was these things that aroused my great interest. There is no civilization."

Listening to these, Tian Tian subconsciously took out a notebook and began to take notes, because after all, English is not her mother tongue, no matter how good she mastered it, the reaction after hearing it was a little slower than the Americans around her, and this expert But I didn't intend to take care of her as a foreigner, but I just wondered as I wrote it down: "What does this have to do with the case?"

Dennis said: "I just want to know the relationship between these things and the case, so I need to know what its content is." Tian Tian was a little impatient when she heard her tone, and felt upset, but she didn't say anything else, bowed her head and continued to take notes.

Which expert above continued to say: "But the content here is quite huge. It will take at least half a month to tell all of it." Tian Tian hurriedly said: "You can talk about the part about China first."

The expert had no objection, turned her head down and turned the pages. Tian Tian looked at the pages of the slides and suddenly said, "Stop, stop, what is this?" The expert stopped, looked up, and said, "This is the A photo of a fossil of a bow and arrow found in Africa. After the bow and arrow was discovered, more archaeologists speculate that it has a history of at least 1 years, which is enough to prove that at that time humans had already started using throwing guns. weapon, it occurred to me that I should look at this."

The slide turned another page, and the expert said: "This is an ancient myth originating from Africa, but what this myth tells is about a legend about a distant and mysterious country in the East. This legend mentions that in ancient times About [-] years ago, there was a country in the far east. The people of this country lived happily and had no worries about food and clothing. Their queen possessed incredible power and built this country into the most powerful country on the continent. "

Dennis couldn't help interrupting at this moment, and said: "According to the speculation of mainstream scholars in the history discipline, human society had not yet formed, and the national system had not yet appeared. Human beings lived together in the form of tribes. This myth seems to be completely out of line with what mainstream scholars have speculated."

The expert replied: "Yes, the current mainstream view is like this, but some relics discovered in modern times have gradually overturned these speculations. For example, the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West discovered in China proves that the state system was established in the matrilineal society more than 10 years ago. It has been gradually formed. Human beings have existed for millions of years. The further we go back, the less traces of history are left, so we can only guess. But if the national system has been formed more than [-] years ago, the human race The progress is so slow and long. The formation of the national system must have experienced tens of thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of development. Before the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, it was difficult for us to deny the existence of other countries. According to the speculation of the description, it should still be in the west of China, and it should be between the land of China and India. Because at that time, the climate and land of this continent were very suitable for human habitation. , and after compiling all the details about this myth, I speculate that this country should have about [-] aborigines at that time. If my guess is correct, such a country should be like the Middle Ages on the earth at that time The existence of Mongolia is the same. When human beings still live in groups in the form of tribes, there are only a few hundred people in the big tribes. The prosperity of this country’s population is enough to explain its degree of development at that time. According to the records of myths, this country later happened. A great change, the war brought about a terrible disease, I speculate that the disease is the plague, probably this plague forced the residents of this country to leave their homes, trek across mountains and rivers, and find the paradise again, and the myth of being able to escape at that time is like this It said 'they are the daughters of a devout god, they have a noble blood, so God bless them, help them through countless hardships, and finally found a new paradise, the new paradise is now Africa.

Tian Tian couldn't help saying: "It's unscientific. Humans probably didn't even learn how to ride a horse at that time. How did they get from Asia to Africa?" The expert made a helpless expression and said, "I can't answer this question." .”

Tian Tian was puzzled, and listened to the expert's continuation: "From the description, I speculate that the group of people who arrived in Africa were actually members of the royal family at that time. Think about it, no matter which way they came to Africa, there are One thing is certain, that is, this group of people must have enormous material strength, and they also need huge human input.”

Tian Tian listened very carefully, trying to sort out the clues. Seeing that the experts stopped talking, she couldn't help asking: "Is there anything else? For example, you speculate that they are members of the royal family. Besides that A few words are unexpected, is there any other basis?"

Experts said: "These people in the myths are dominated by women, which conforms to the structural characteristics of the matriarchal society."

"Anything else?"

Under Tian Tian's pursuit, the expert thought about it for a long time, and said: "There is another Greek myth, which is almost buried in the dust of history. I deduce it from the clues in thousands of myths. , about the Amazon female warriors, one side of the story is that these women were originally aborigines living in the jungle, but in the ancient murals, these female warriors have another characteristic besides being brave and good at fighting, that is, they will be cut off in the coming-of-age ceremony. The breasts on their right side, because they think that the breasts on the right side will affect the effect of their weapons, but after the Middle Ages, the legend about them changed. They no longer have only one breast image, but at the same time. With two pieces of armor, the written records did not mention their cruel and barbaric coming-of-age ceremony. Some scholars speculated that the legendary Amazon female warriors after the Middle Ages were not actually the aborigines in the Amazon jungle, but Mongolia. Female warriors in the army, because at that time the daughters of Genghis Khan ruled which Islamic countries along the ancient Silk Road, these Islamic countries were ashamed to erase them from history, so they became legends, and At that time, there were brave female warriors in the Mongolian army. They became the later images of Amazon female warriors and witches in the legends. These people appeared in Europe and left some mythical shadows, interspersed in various mythological stories. Here, there is one thing in common with the previous stories, that is, they come from the east, and they also had to leave their hometowns to find another home because of the plague in the country. They are most likely the same group of people."

Tian Tian said with a headache: "It's so confusing, I was still in Africa just now, why did I go to Europe?"

Dennis seemed disappointed, and said: "It seems that there is nothing to gain. I think I should concentrate on the myths about China." Tian Tian raised her hand at this time and said: "I just mentioned India, and there are myths about India. Well?"

The expert started to turn the page again, and Dennis asked suspiciously, "Why did you mention India?" Tian Tian heard this, thought for a while and said, "Because Bai Yang mentioned that her ancestor was Jialan Yingye, and Jialan is very Indian. Don't you think so?"

Dennis hurriedly asked: "And then?"

Tian Tian shrugged and said, "I can translate everything Bai Yang said to you, it's completely fine, but you have to ask me to make a promise."

"What guarantee"

"Guarantee that Bai Yang can leave the United States without any trouble."

Dennis squinted at her and didn't speak for a while, Tian Tian said: "That can't be helped, I'm sorry I can't say anything." Bai Yang turned around and said: "Why didn't you tell her?" Tian Tian raised her hand, Putting his hand on her mouth, signaling her to stop talking, Bai Yang turned his head away unhappily, although she didn't want to hide anything from Dennis, but Tian Tian didn't translate what she said, Bai Yang really couldn't tell Dennis, Firstly, her own modern vocabulary is in a mess, and secondly, Dennis is not Chinese, although she is proficient in modern Chinese.

Dennis also had a stern face, but Tian Tian didn't mean to compromise at all, and continued to make her notes in silence. Dennis thought twice and said, "Okay, I promise she won't have any trouble leaving the United States, you can now Have you said it?"

Tian Tian smiled and said, "It's hard to follow a gentleman's words. I recorded your words." She took out her mobile phone and showed it to Dennis. Dennis smiled and said, "I won't break my promise." Tian Tian watched her smile, and thought to herself: "Smiling tiger." She also smiled to herself, and said: "Then I will translate the story she told, and then compile it with the fairy tale, maybe it can be smoothed out." Any clues?"

As she spoke, she took out the recording pen she carried with her, walked to the front, played the recording on the computer, and translated Bai Yang's words into English word by word. This is a very difficult task, because translating ancient Chinese requires not only Tian Tian She is good at English, and her level of ancient prose is not sloppy at all, but Tian Tian is still very confident.

Bai Yang sat there, listening to her speak English very fluently, a little envious in his heart, and seeing her calm, confident and indulgent, and eloquent, she was quite high-spirited, so he kept looking at her, who knew that Tian Tian was Seeing her looking at her all the time, unconsciously thinking about trying to express herself, to put it bluntly, she was just showing off her own abilities, the more she watched her, the more orderly, steady and generous she behaved, she didn't know herself very well What kind of mentality is like showing Bai Yang his best side, whether she is the best or Dennis is the best.

The people who got off the horse also listened very carefully, taking notes while listening, and when Tian Tian finished speaking, Dennis couldn't help asking: "What is the meaning of Jialan Yingye?" Tian Tian said: "I went back yesterday. I checked on the Internet, Jialan means garden and home in Sanskrit, and it is also the name of the patron saint in myths and legends, but whether there is any special meaning here, I don’t know, what does Ying Ye mean? I don’t know, but those guys want to get these materials, so there must be an internal connection between Bai Yang’s family history and the myths and legends in it.”
