Chapter 1137: Romance of the Gods
After that, the fat man translated the words on the flag.
These dense earthworm characters seem to be telling stories from King Wu to Jiang Ziya's departure from the mountain, and there are all kinds of legends.
Listening to what the fat man said a lot, Zhang Meng said with a smile: "Isn't this the god list?" ”
"That's right!" The fat man snorted: "This is the fucking story in "The Romance of the Gods", and I see this black flag, which is the spirit flag used by Jiang Ziya to behead the gods. ”
"Won't it?" Zhang Meng thought it was incredible.
"How not?" The fat man pointed to the dense ancient servants under the high platform and said, "Take a good look at yourself, are we very familiar with these characters." ”
After such a reminder from the fat man, Zhang Meng looked at those villain maids again.
These servants in front of them are a little different from the portraits you have seen before, they are neither made of stone nor made of gold, and even from the appearance, these people have lifelike facial features, except for their short stature, they can almost be married to real people.
This kind of ghostly carving technique is simply impossible to achieve in the Shang Dynasty, and even modern laser 3D engraving cannot reach this height. Zhang Meng just glanced at it, and was startled by the identities of these maids.
"Oh my God, I said...... I say...... This...... This ......" Zhang Meng pointed to a monster with a hooked nose, a pair of wings on his back, and teeth and claws, and said, "This is Lei Zhenzi?" ”
"Nonsense, anyone who has watched "Romance of the Gods" knows that this is Lei Zhenzi, that is, the mythical and legendary Lei Gong." The fat man jumped down and wanted to pull out the hammer in Lei Zhenzi's hand to study and study, but he didn't expect that he couldn't pull it at all.
"Hmm." Zhang Meng probably has a foundation in his heart: "It seems that the servants here are basically the characters we are familiar with in "Romance of the Gods". ”
"But Brother Meng, don't you think it's strange?" Xiao Lou held his chin, a little puzzled.
"Strange, what's so strange?" Zhang Meng asked casually.
Xiao Lou said: "From the moment we entered this submarine tomb, whether it was the monsters or cultural relics we came into contact with, they had nothing to do with the Fengshen List at all. If the golden statue I saw before confirmed that the owner of the tomb was the little emperor Zhu Yunwen, who wanted to restore the country with the help of immortality. So what's going on here? ”
"You have a point."
Zhang Meng glanced at everyone, and began to carefully recall why the Fengshen List appeared in this tomb.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Meng said: "I think that if this flag and the Fengshen List are just a trap used to attract us, there is really no need to spend so much manpower and material resources to pinch out so many human servants. But if there is a connection between the Fengshen Bang and this tomb, I really can't think of any connection. Hey, by the way, everyone usually reads a lot of historical documents, who knows that "Romance of the Gods" has anything to do with the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yunwen? ”
"Wait." Hearing Zhang Meng talk about the "Ming Dynasty", Ye Jiu immediately frowned and stopped Zhang Meng.
"Brother Jiu'er, what did you find?"
"Da Ming." Ye Jiu glanced at the demonic black flag again.
was reminded by Ye Jiu like this, Lady Na's eyes immediately lit up: "That's right, Da Ming, it's Da Ming!" ”
"What is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the little lady is the one who can't let out a fart for a long time, are you also infected by him?" The fat man asked.
"Dead fatty, stay away from me." After scolding the fat man, Lady explained to Zhang Meng: "Ye Jiu just said the meaning of the word Daming, referring to the fact that the book "Romance of the Gods" was written during the Ming Dynasty. ”
"So "The Romance of the Gods" is a book of the Ming Dynasty? Do you know who the author is? Zhang Meng asked.
"There's no definite jury out there." Lady Na shook her head: "Although some people say that the original author of "Romance of the Gods" is Xu Zhonglin, in fact, the archaeological community does not think so, only know that this book was indeed written during the Ming Dynasty. ”
"I still don't understand what you mean." After listening to Lady Na's words, the fat man said dissatisfiedly, "Even if it was written during the Ming Dynasty, it has something to do with Zhu Yunwen?" ”
"You ......"
"Lady, don't pay attention to the fat man, you go on." Zhang Meng pointed at the fat man and signaled the fat man not to deliberately provoke and help at this time.
"Let's put it this way, although the book "Romance of the Gods" is a household name, but in my opinion, the real achievement of this book is to complete the Chinese mythological system, many Taoist gods and goddesses that everyone didn't know before, because of "The Romance of the Gods", the common people know about it."
"Everyone looks at those maids, Li Tianwang, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, do you all know each other? This is due to "The Romance of the Gods", and the words of immortality and immortals are all drawn from this book, and it is this book that makes it more convenient for later generations to classify the gods in Chinese mythology. "Lady Na tried to make what she said understandable to everyone.
"Don't say it, when Big Na said this, I felt that this was the case. It was really after watching "Romance of the Gods" that I knew what the gods were and what they looked like. The fat man clapped his hands violently.
"So, the author's purpose in writing this book is to establish a Chinese mythological system?" Although Zhang Meng understood some questions, he still didn't figure out why there was a god list in Zhu Yunwen's tomb.
After listening to Lady Na's words, Ye Jiu on the side raised a finger: "Everyone seems to have forgotten the identity of King Ning Zhu Quan." ”
"Zhu Quan's identity?" Zhang Meng's brain was running fast, and he said excitedly after a while: "By the way, how can we forget that Ning Wang Zhu Quan is a prince who likes to be sideways!" Aren't his disciples all strange people in the rivers and lakes? If that's the connection, then it's easy to explain! ”
"I'm slot!" After listening to Zhang Meng's words, the fat man looked at Ye Jiu blankly, then at Zhang Meng, and said with some shock: "Then this damn "Romance of the Gods" can't be written by Zhu Quan, the king of Yaning, right?" ”
"It's very likely." Lady nodded.
"I said you're crazy, aren't you? The fat man just broke it casually, and he took it seriously. "This time it's the fat man's turn to be dumbfounded.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Faced with the fat man's difficulty, Lady Na said quietly: "It's just that I suspect that this book may have been written by someone sent by King Ning Zhu Quan, and it was not written by herself." ”
"Why?" The fat man asked.
"Let's put it this way." Lady Na coughed: "The story of the Fengshen List actually appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, and some people wrote some small short mythological stories, but it didn't have much influence at that time, and it wasn't until after the Ming Dynasty that someone really compiled these stories into "The Romance of the Fengshen", which is why the author has never been able to confirm it." If you look at the cause of this book, Ning Wang Zhu Quan does have the ability and financial resources. ”
"Then he's a prince, why do you want to write a mythological novel?" The fat man felt that his IQ was short-circuited. R1148
