Chapter 425: Leaving a Book in the Secret Room
Xia Qingqing listened to me all the time, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, until I finished speaking, and then spoke: "I agree with your judgment, but I don't see anything special about this secret room. ”
I pointed to the light in the secret room: "The entire Shengyu Tomb is actually in a kind of light and shadow trick, but their technique is more than a step worse than that of the blood droplets. The trick in the tomb is to use glass similar to the color of the wall to interfere with the person's vision. This is the reason why we keep turning and turning in the second graveyard without knowing it. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, there's still light and shadow tricks in this secret room. If you look for it, you may be able to find something left by King Wu. ”
Xia Qingqing nodded slightly and looked around, and looked at me a little blankly: "I don't see any light and shadow tricks." I ......"
"Let's look together, I don't believe there's anything in this house. "The four of us scattered at the same time, searching the entire chamber inch by inch, but we didn't find a single clue.
"Am I mistaken?" my heart sank. If my inference is wrong, then everything that happened before will be overturned, which means that our adventure will end up dead and alive.
I was frowning when Xia Qingqing suddenly extinguished the flames in the secret room with a palm in the air, and the entire secret room fell into darkness in an instant.
Before I could speak, I saw bursts of fluorescence on the walls of the chamber, and lines of writing appeared on the walls as if green flames were burning.
Tao Xiyu was surprised: "What is written on it?"
I waved my hand and said, "Let me see." ”
Before Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms, the Chinese script was not unified, and the seal characters were difficult to read, so it was difficult for people who had not specifically studied seal characters to read the original documents of the pre-Qin period. I've been in an antiques shop for a while, and although I can't fully read the handwriting on the wall, I still have no problem trying to get the general idea of what it's about.
After watching it for a long time, I lit a cigarette and took a hard puff: "We have met the great god." ”
I slowly explained: "The matter of Princess Shengyu has to start with the battle of Wu Chu. ”
"Legend has it that the reason why Wu Guoxing's troops attacked Chu was because of a sword 'Zhanlu'. According to legend, there are seven famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period, and King Wu is the only one, "Panying", "Fish Intestine", and "Zhanlu". ”
"The fish intestines were buried with King Wu in the sword pool. ”
"Pan Ying followed Shengyu to bury the female grave lake. ”
"Only Zhan Lu, because he was afraid of being buried with King Wu, turned into a fish, sneaked into Chu down the river and went upstream, and inexplicably appeared next to the pillow of the king of Chu, which was obtained by the king of Chu. ”
When the king of Wu lost his sword, he was furious, thinking that the king of Chu had sent someone to steal the sword, and the king of Chu also jumped like thunder because of the extra sword on his pillow, thinking that Wu was deliberately demonstrating. Therefore, the king of Wu raised troops to attack the state of Chu, which led to the two later battles of Wu and Chu. ”
When Tao Xiyu heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt me and said, "The words on the wall prove this legend?"
I shook my head and said, "No." The book left by King Wu only mentions the theft of Zhan Lu and the loss of Chu by King Wu. The pre-Qin script is very concise, and some things have to be worked out by myself. Listen to me. ”
I continued: "King Wu Lu never believed that Zhan Lu had gone to Chu by himself. If that's the case, doesn't it mean that King Wu is a Daoless Monarch who is not recognized by the artifact? More than half of the reason why he attacked the Chu State was to prove that Zhan Lu was stolen by the Chu State, not to enter Chu on his own. ”
"When the battle between Wu and Chu was in full swing, He Lu inadvertently discovered Shengyu's secret. He found that Shengyu was wearing a fox. This incident aroused the alarm of King Wu. After several temptations, King Wu found that Shengyu was possessed by a fox demon. ”
Tao Xiyu said: "Isn't Shengyu the daughter of King Wu?
I shook my head and said, "I don't know what method King Wu used, but one thing is for sure, King Wu finally confirmed Shengyu's identity, and then started the plan to kill Shengyu. ”
I turned to look at Tao Xiyu: "Do you remember my speculation on the other side of the tomb?" At that time, I speculated that someone was carrying a long sword on his back and assassinating Shengyu, and that person was Wu Wang Lu. ”
Tao Xiyu couldn't help but gasp: "Stabbed his own daughter to death with his own hands, King Wu must have regarded her as a fox demon." ”
I nodded and asked Xia Qingqing, "Is that mural the handwriting of Blood Drops?"
"No!" Xia Qingqing shook his head, "I can crack the mural because I can see the other party's method of covering up the mural." ”
Ye Xun said coldly: "What's the matter with the flames in the secret room? Why didn't you extinguish the flames in the first place, and wait until we were helpless?"
Xia Qingqing smiled faintly and set her eyes on the wall.
Ye Xun's eyes then turned with a chill.
I quickly diverted the topic and said: "There is a very interesting thing in King Wu's book, that is, King Wu began to build this underground palace before killing Shengyu. In other words, He Lu knew early on that there would be a fox demon in Wu Kingdom. ”
Ye Xun's attention was attracted by me: "What's the matter?"
I explained: "He Lu has long known that someone is looking for Yuwang Jiuding. Those so-called people are a group of immortal and immortal fox demons, even if they are divided into several sections, they will be resurrected again and snatch Jiuding. ”
Tao Xiyu also exclaimed: "No, the Zhou royal family was still alive at that time, how could King Wu have Jiuding?"
I said in a deep voice: "King Wu did not mention this in his book. If I were to speculate, I think that the Jiuding of the Zhou royal family was not Yu Wangding, but a fake recreated by King Zhou. ”
Among the various legends about the whereabouts of Jiuding, the least recognized legend is that the real Jiuding has disappeared since the Yin Shang replaced the Xia Dynasty, and since the Shang Dynasty, Jiuding has become a fake.
However, there is some truth to this statement. Dayu is located in Xia Qi, becoming a family of the world. Yu Wang Ding is bound to become an artifact of Zhenguo, and the kings of the Xia Dynasty will naturally not allow Jiuding to fall into the hands of others.
I continued: "If Jiuding did not know its whereabouts in the summer of the Yin Shang Dynasty, Wu State may not be able to get one or several of the Yu Wang Dings. ”
"The legend that King Wu brought 3,000 swords to the burial may be understood as King Wu felt that the nine tripods were incomplete and could not suppress the luck of the Wu country, so he simply smelted the tripod into 3,000 swords and brought them into the sword pool to suppress the national fortune. ”
"King Wu should be killed!" Ye Xun burst out of a sentence inexplicably, and immediately asked back, "Is it true that you said that King Wu melted the sword forged?"
"Just my speculation. "I didn't expect Ye Xun to have such a big reaction, so I quickly put the topic on the right track, and I didn't dare to speculate casually.
"King Wu seems to have known that a fox demon will come to find the Ding, so he was wary of the fox demon while building this Shengyu tomb. According to his thoughts, as long as he can kill the fox demon town in the tomb, he can keep the peace of Wu Kingdom. It's just that he didn't expect that the fox demon would be his own daughter. ”
"What happened next was exactly what I had guessed. Although King Wu killed Shengyu, he was afraid that Shengyu would still have accomplices, so he came up with a way for the white crane to lead the way, and would rather kill tens of thousands of people by mistake than kill the fox demon. ”
Even so, King Wu still didn't feel at ease, so he left behind all kinds of arrangements. ”
I stretched out my hand and pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "There is the Panying Sword left by King Wu." According to his thoughts, the person who re-entered the Jade Tomb was either a fox demon, or he came to chase and kill the fox demon, and he left the Panying Sword because he wanted to use the famous sword as a reward or thank you gift to eradicate the fox demon. ”
Tao Xiyu walked in the direction of my finger, and sure enough, the famous sword Panying was turned out of a dark box.
After thousands of years, the famous sword is still dazzling and sharp. I held Panying and looked at it for a while, before I drew my sword and handed it to Xia Qingqing: "You are good at using a sword, you can keep this sword!"
"Thank you!" Xia Qingqing couldn't put down Pan Ying, but Ye Xun frowned slightly.
Tao Xiyu said: "King Wu left the Panying Sword, didn't he say how to get out of here?"
"King Wu left a book and said that when the Panying Sword leaves the secret box, there should be a tomb door here!"
I just wanted to move forward, but I was stopped by Ye Xun: "Wait a minute, explain things clearly before leaving." ”
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "About the matter of the fox demon seeking the ding, is it true or not, and is there any connection with the eternal red face?"
I was silent for a moment and said: "If you look at the time when the red face appeared through the ages, the four demon queens were all active in the pre-Qin era, which was the period when the legend of Jiuding was most concentrated. ”
"Xia Zhiyuxi, Shang Zhidaji, Zhou Zhibaoji, and Li Ji of Jin (Spring and Autumn Jin Kingdom) are all accompanied by kings, especially the first three, who are accompanied by the kings of the dead country. At that time, the world was in turmoil, who could take care of Jiuding? That was the best time to transfer Jiuding!"
I paused and said, "As for the four beauties...... Wu Guo's matter about Jiuding is already in front of him. ”
"Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty once recast Jiuding, and Yang Yuhuan just appeared in the Tang Dynasty after Wu Zetian. ”
"Wang Zhaojun and Diao Chan, one in the early Han Dynasty and the other in the late Han Dynasty. Liu Bang destroyed Qin and established the country, and the royal family of the Han Dynasty was the most likely person to confirm where Jiuding was. As for the ...... of Diao Chan"
I said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, who is the one who started the Divine Exploration Hand. Wang Mang died, and the Divine Detective Hand he formed was still there, and the Han family was also the most likely person to get the secrets of the Divine Detective Hand during Wang Mang's period, and even they themselves had used the Divine Detective Hand. ”
I said again: "When we were tracking down the eternal red face, we also mentioned Master Li. The Song Dynasty also recast Jiuding. Don't you think that every time there is news about Jiuding, there will be a red face?"
"Reasonable! Reasonable!" Ye Xun seemed to be talking to himself, and said two sentences in a row, "It makes sense", before he looked at Xia Qingqing: "Has the Qing Dynasty found Jiuding?"
"Only fakes have been found. Xia Qingqing said, "After all, Jiuding has disappeared for many years, how easy is it to find Jiuding?"
