Chapter 247: Immortal King Loulan
On the other hand, Shen Qiu, Su Tong, Emperor Zhou and others went deeper, and they encountered three dangers in a row, but according to Wang Changsheng's explanation that Emperor Zhou was optimistic about Wang Chang's rhythm, those three times passed without danger, and they basically didn't even lose a single hair.
However, it was precisely because of these three distresses that Shen Qiu and Tan He's faces became solemn.
Why?
Because the process that Wang Changsheng deduced from Wang Chang's numerology was too accurate, he almost calculated the timing perfectly, in this case, there was no doubt that if Wang Changsheng became their enemy, he would be in great trouble.
The main hall of the Loulan Palace, which is equivalent to the Jinluan Palace of the Forbidden City, is the place where the emperor deliberates, and the Forbidden City is somewhat different from the main hall of the palace without carving dragons and phoenixes, because the Western Regions do not believe in this, the Loulan people have their own totems, the main hall is magnificent, almost all the arrangements are based on gold and colorful gems, which perfectly demonstrates how rich the country in the Western Regions is.
In addition, the only arrangement in this main hall is also extremely puzzling, and there is a coffin in the middle of the main hall.
The coffin of a golden silk nanmu was so quietly horizontal on the ground, and the surrounding area was very empty, so it was particularly abrupt.
However, seeing this coffin, Shen Qiu and Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and a little excited expression appeared on their faces, which was far different from their performance when they went to the Loulan treasury before, as if this coffin was their target, and the treasures in the treasury had become floating clouds.
Emperor Zhou's eyes were very sharp, glancing at the strangeness of the two, he almost instantly tasted what the purpose of the two of them was, and at the same time, he was also wondering why Wang Changsheng had been gone for so long, why he hadn't come back again, and if the two of them made any more moves, he might not be able to bear it alone.
Since there is a coffin, the main hall in the Loulan Palace can also be regarded as an ancient tomb, according to the rules, Tan He took out a candle from his bag and came to the corner to light it, after the candle was burned, he made an OK gesture to this side, which means that there should be no problem here.
The rule of lighting candles is not just passed down by Captain Jin, in fact, it is an explicit rule among tomb robbers, and it is equivalent to a ritual, which may not be useful, but the process must be there.
Emperor Zhou squinted his eyes and said to Shen Qiu and Su Tong, "That's why you two are here?"
Su Tong said "um", Shen Qiu licked his lips, and said, "What do you say? For people like us who are not too short of money, what else is worth our effort? In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, those things that can be met and cannot be found have been since ancient times, for example, Qin Shi Huang has been tossing for this for almost his whole life, and after he ruled the world, he has never let go of this goal."
Emperor Zhou was stunned for a moment, looked at them extremely puzzled, and searched in his head for a long time, what could make Qin Shi Huang so attentive?
Before and after the domination of the world, in fact, Qin Shi Huang did not do many major things, and there were only three things that could be familiar to people, such as building the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and sending Xu Fu to the sea.
The first two have already been completed, and they are placed there, and there is nothing worth studying, except for the latter one, which ended without a problem.
Emperor Zhou looked at them in confusion, and spit out four words in his mouth: "Immortality?"
Su Tong and Shen Qiu didn't speak, but their expressions were self-evident.
Back then, after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he actually had nothing to pursue, but in his heart he had a grand wish, that is, to seek immortality, so he sent Xu Fu to the sea to find immortals and medicine, wanting to let himself live forever.
For this reason, Xu Fu brought five hundred boys and women, as well as various materials, to sail to the sea for Qin Shi Huang to seek immortality, the ideal is very good, but the reality is too cruel, until Qin Shi Huang died violently outside, Xu Fu did not come back, disappeared without a trace, and let Qin Shi Huang enter the tomb of the First Emperor with regret.
In fact, in addition to Qin Shi Huang, there are too many emperors in this world who seek immortality, the most famous is Li Shimin, a group of Taoist priests in the palace alchemy, but I didn't expect to eat too much for myself to die.
This is what the emperor in the mainland did, but there are also outside the Central Plains, such as Wang Changsheng and Liang Pingping and Tang Kun went to the tomb of King Beji in Ningguta, from a certain point of view, King Beji is also seeking immortality, and the same is true of King Loulan in the Western Regions.
Shen Qiu and Su Tong came to this point, the caravan of the Su family and Shen Qiu's ancestors had come into contact with the king of Loulan in the Loulan era, and they found out from each other's various actions and details that the other party was seeking immortality, and they didn't take it seriously, thinking that this was an illusory act, but when Loulan disappeared overnight, the Shen and Su families knew that the king of Loulan was likely to find a chance for immortality, otherwise he would not have pulled down the entire ancient city of Loulan to support himself.
At the same time, on the other side, under the pillar facing the sky in the center of the palace, Wang Changsheng, who had invited the gods to come up, also sighed.
"King Loulan, you want to live forever......"
Yes, after Wang Changsheng invited the ancestor of Kunlun Guan who didn't know which generation to come up, with extremely majestic experience, he finally saw what secret was hidden under the feng shui magic array recorded on the pillar of heaven, that is, immortality.
A total of eighteen magic circles have been carved on this pillar, from the yang fire on the vigorous person to the three souls and seven spirits of the stable person, and then to the vitality of the human body, and finally the extraction of the vitality of heaven and earth in the palace of the Loulan King, in order to create an immortal Loulan King.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng knew the reason for the various strange signs in this palace.
At the beginning, the layout of the king of Loulan was immortal, and the entire palace sank into the ground, and many of the people of Loulan were brought down together, and then the feng shui array in the palace began to operate, and the huge heaven and earth aura was pumped into this underground palace to conceive these people, and at the same time, all the people in the palace began to flourish, showing a vigorous state.
After a while, the people in the palace began to die gradually, but because of the magic circle, they were able to keep their bodies from decaying, as if they were living dead, so the palace fell to the ground full of corpses, the same ones that Wang Changsheng saw when they first came in.
With the passage of time, the vigorous vitality that was once contained in these corpses was extracted little by little and was transferred to the king of Loulan to maintain his survival, which means that he is equivalent to using the lives of everyone in Loulan to fulfill himself.
As for the guards who were locked up in the treasury, they should be used by King Loulan as a precaution, and he was afraid that someone would find the palace of Loulan and come in and disturb his dream of immortality, so he prepared a team of his own guards in the treasury.
But for two days, Wang Changsheng didn't see it on the Chaotian Pillar.
One is how those guards can still have the consciousness of killing after maintaining the state of the living dead, and the other is how the king of Loulan should operate after extracting the vitality of these people and what he gains.
"Then it can only be on him......" Wang Changsheng suddenly realized what the final goal of the place where Shen Qiu and Su Tong were going.
King Loulan's ultimate immortality plan is still in his own body or where he is.
