In the study room of Xianyang Palace, the fire is still burning.

The bamboo slips on top of several cases were piled up, Ziying, Mrs. Bo, Wei Yi, Mo Ying looked at the bamboo slips and shook their heads.

"Did Mr. Zifang let the king search like this? When is this going to be found?! ”

Mo Ying frowned, and his voice was broken. Zhao Ji is no longer in Xianyang City, except for Mo Cheng, no one is more suitable for those weird things, and Ziying has to use child labor.

Zhang Liangkou is the book of the pre-Qin Dynasty, although there are not many words, but a bamboo slip can write less than 30 words, an average of thousands of words of the book, it looks extremely scary, not to mention that there are more than 32,000 words of "Shangshu", enough to need thousands of bamboo slips, divided into 100 volumes...

Ziying smiled bitterly, "You don't need to check them all, the history books, the books of mathematics, and the books that record obscure records should be read carefully, and if you find something weird, you will put it aside." The widow, Mr. Wei Yu and... Madame will dig deeper. ”

Qing'e nodded slightly, and Ziying smiled back.

Ziying knew that Zhang Liang and others were hiding Cai Wei, what the spirit burned, and she was also tired in her heart, and she didn't want to and couldn't recover it.

There is Mrs. Bo beside her, and the help she can get is very comparable, her posture is moving, the number of courtesies is added, and when the child is seriously injured, she gets along for many days, and she can't be moved.

It's just that at this moment, compared to the day when Lu Matong copied the book, it was too quiet, and it was a little uncomfortable.

"The concubine looks at the history books." Mrs. Bo said, taking the lead in flipping through it. Mo Cheng pouted, and followed him, searching for the book of numbers.

Wei was silent and was about to step forward.

"Mr. Weiyu." Ziying stopped and said, "The widow is probably not the king who Mr. wants to help now, how can he still stay in Qin to help the widow?" ”

Wei Yu turned around slowly, and saw that Ziying's face was peaceful, no different from when he first met, but he couldn't guess Ziying's thoughts.

"Does King Qin want the old man to stay or... What if you don't stay? Wei Yi threw the question back to Ziying.

"At first, I wanted to stay, but I wanted to kill because of Han Xin, and today I want to stay, but when I thought that when the world attacked Qin, Mr. Wei Yu did not go out of the mountain to rescue him, causing Zhang Han to be cut off and killed." Ziying replied.

"Oh? Why didn't King Qin do it yet? Wei Yu asked seriously.

The widow thought that if Zhang Han was victorious, Hu Hai would not be easily killed by Li Si, and the widow would not be able to succeed to the throne, and Mr. Wei Yi was dissatisfied with Qin and still wanted to leave. It doesn't matter if you can't get out of the mountain. Ziying explained.

"Heh... This sound like a benevolent monarch and a tyrant, and after a few battles, he really completely changed his temperament. Wei Yi smiled, then approached Ziying and lowered his voice, "A person who didn't belong to the Qin State came here for some reason, and was grinded into the King of Qin again, how does it feel like this?!" ”

Ziying was stunned suddenly, looked at Wei Yi, and saw Wei Yi's smile like a naughty child, and then restrained his expression.

When he first met with Wei Mi, Wei Mi hinted at his origin and foreshadowed the fate of the Huns.

It's just that he has never come up with an important strategy for him, so he was ignored.

Now that I think about it, at Wei Yu's age, the most capable person among the three old men is not that Huangshi Gong, but the person in front of him!

"Mr. Wei Yu has not left Qindi, does he want to check the widow like he checked ancient books?" Ziying whispered, and the two women who were consulting the ancient books did not see the abnormality here.

"Definitely!" Wei Yu chuckled and said, "The old man knows that the limit is coming, and he also knows that King Qin should crack some secrets that the world does not know, so he will help with his crippled body. Confucius once said, 'When you hear the Tao, you can die at night'. ”

"Mr. Wei Yu is sure that the widow can solve it?" Ziying frowned.

"If King Qin can't be solved, no one in the world can do it back then!"

Wei Yi's voice rose suddenly, Mo Cheng subconsciously looked back, Mrs. Bo patted the little girl, and the two continued to consult the ancient books.

Ziying nodded in understanding, and deeply felt that this matter required someone who was familiar with thousands of years of history, returned to the current dynasty under the 'coincidence', and then joined forces with the 'old monster' who had not died for a hundred years.

The strange things of the first emperor, the cursed wonders of the Book of Luban, the westward journey of Zhao Ji, the "Mu Wang's war" said by Taibu, the "way of heaven" said by Wei Zhe, and the reason why he appeared here... There is a faint and bright silk thread running through it!

"Let's do it!"

Ziying and Wei Yu buried their heads in a few cases, and did not read them extensively, but tacitly selected them and then checked them.

Snow began to fall in the sky above Xianyang City.

More than a dozen bundles of bamboo slips that were opened were spread out on the ground, and Ziying Wei Yu selected a book - "Bamboo Book Chronicle".

"The First Emperor burned the history books of the Six Kingdoms, but unexpectedly, there was still a copy in the Qin Palace." Wei Yi smiled and said, "King Qin can be elected with the old man, and this matter can be done!" ”

Ziying didn't answer, and when she saw "The Bamboo Book Chronicle", she inevitably thought of some people who had changed.

"In that case, can King Qin find something abnormal?" Wei Yu's eyes were like torches, and he looked at Ziying, eager to get some answers.

"I found some, but it seems that it has nothing to do with what Mr. Zifang said, and it has nothing to do with the matter of the first emperor." Ziying shook her head.

Wei Yu was not discouraged, his eyes widened, "No matter what, bother King Qin quickly!" ”

After many years of seclusion and history, Wei Yu has never noticed the strangeness. At this moment, he didn't dare to let go of any of them, which was enough to lead to the possibility of the internal cause of all things.

Mrs. Bo and Mo Ying also stopped their movements and stepped aside.

"This is something that the widow discovered a long time ago, and it's about... The authenticity of the records of the Xia Shang Dynasty on Wednesday. Ziying stretched out his hand and pointed to the carved text on the bamboo slips, "Mr. Wei Yu didn't realize that the records of the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty before and after the Zhou Dynasty, and even the Xia Shang Dynasty, were too similar?"

Shang destroyed Zhou, but Xia Jun was brutal, and Ming Jun Shang Tang found a man Yi Yin as a minister and replaced him.

Zhou destroyed Shang, but the Shang monarch was not virtuous, and Renjun Ji Chang found a hermit Jiang Shang as a minister and seized the world.

The Xia Dynasty was from Yu to the 17th Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty was the 17th from Tang to Xu.

Han Xun killed Xia Junxiang, and Shao recovered the country and moved eastward.

The Yi family killed Shang Wang Hai, and Shangjiawei avenged his father.

......”

"This—" Wei Yu was a little disappointed, "maybe it's a coincidence?" Shang was a Xia vassal state, Zhou was a Shang vassal state, the relationship was similar, the kings of the two big countries, the ministers inevitably had the same faults. ”

"Perhaps." Ziying sighed, guessing that the matter of Xia Shang Zhou had nothing to do with the matter of the First Emperor, and he was too lazy to argue with Wei Yi.

Mo Zhi nodded and continued to look at the method of mathematics.

Mrs. Bo stepped forward thoughtfully, and handed the bamboo slip in her hand to Ziying, "Your Majesty, the whole book is extremely weird, you must take a look." ”

Ziying took it and couldn't help but smile.

What Mrs. Bo handed over was the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is strange if she can understand it.

"Madame, put it down, this book is not worth watching." Ziying smiled, "The strange things that happened to the first emperor should be found in the similarities from the monarchs of other countries. ”

"Don't worry, your majesty." Mrs. Bo pointed with her hand, "This book is not only related to the affairs of the first emperor, but also involves the matter of 'King Mu' and 'Cutting Down' mentioned by Taibu." Just because... This mountain! ”

"In the south of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand, after the red water, before the black water, there is a big mountain, called the Kunlun Hill..."Mrs. Bo said slowly.

"Kunlun Mountain?!" Ziying was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mrs. Bo meant.

In addition, the world does not know where many place names are located in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and later generations have given the mountains they encounter in the name of the book.

Chishui was officially given the river of Qiandi by the Song Dynasty, and the name of Kunlun was given a mountain in the Western Regions by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

One in the south and one in the north are not at all described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Wei Yi couldn't help but shake his head, "Where in this world is there black and red water?" Madame don't take this seriously. ”

"The first emperor's eastern tour is also an unknowable immortal mountain, and he should pursue it on this strange book!" Mrs. Bo was unconvinced, "This palace is a Wei person, and Wei is rich in salt, if there is salt in the water, the water should be red!" ”

It was the first time Ziying saw Mrs. Bo so strong, and it opened her eyes.

Madame Bo's words kept echoing in her head.

Touring the east, Kunlun Mountain should be a mountain outside Kyushu.

Chishui is red water, river, river, sea!

Red Sea?!!

A burst of electricity rushed through the baby's body, and a bold idea appeared in his brain.

Kunlun Mountain, Queen Mother of the West... I'm afraid it's not in the land of Kyushu!

Wow –

Ziying pushed away all the bamboo slips on the case, and sketched a map larger than Kyushu with a brush.

"Your Majesty?!" Madame Bo was frightened and asked in a low voice.

Ziying ignored it, staring at the outline in front of him, and said something in his mouth.

"That ancient capital, the west is indeed the sea, hence the name 'West Sea', not to mention the coast of quicksand, if you go from Kyushu to the other country, when the Red Sea, so it is 'after the red water'!"

Mrs. Bo was overjoyed to see Ziying bothering to think about her words.

Wei Yi also came to be interested.

"It seems that King Qin knows what the First Emperor wants, where is one of the three immortal mountains on the sea?" Wei Yi raised his white eyebrows, "But what is this 'black water'?" ”

Ziying looked southwest, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she suddenly said something that no one in the room could understand.

"Millions of years ago, on another territory of the same land, there was the famous Heishui River, which was only caused by too much jungle formic acid. If at this time, there should also be a black water river there, hence the name 'black water'! ”

"Madame! What's next?! Ziying said urgently.

"It's called Kunlun Hill... There is a god, a human face and a tiger body..."Madame Bo recited respectfully.

"Tiger body?" Ziying frowned, and then stretched, "Haha... That's right, there are no lions in the land of Kyushu, and when you see that kind of thing, you naturally think it's a tiger body! ”

Ziying threw down the brush, held her forehead and smiled, thinking through too many things.

The first emperor was not a gullible person, Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng were helpless to flee because they couldn't find the fairy grass and the immortal medicine. Why is it only to provide Xu Fu, who claims to have traveled far to find the Immortal Mountain, people, three years of food, clothes and shoes, medicine, and cultivation things?!

Now it seems that there is only one reason, the first emperor believes in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" very much, and Xu Fu only needs to go to one place, and the sea he crosses will naturally become the West Sea! It fits perfectly with Kunlun Mountain!

Seeing that Ziying seemed to have figured it out, Mrs. Bo continued to read, "There are people with hoopoes, tiger teeth, leopard tails, acupoints, and the name is the Queen Mother of the West, and there are all kinds of things in this mountain." ”

"'All things are there'... That's exactly what I said!! Ziying couldn't help but nod, "Since everything is available, the First Emperor thought that there must be an elixir of immortality there." ”

"The more you talk, the more confused you become! Is there such a strange person in the world? Wei Yi frowned.

"It's a mask." Ziying interrupted Wei Yu's questioning, "The widow knows that country, and this book should be written by the ancients, covering all places outside Kyushu." I just don't know... Why didn't the First Emperor understand the words of this "obscure book", but listened to its meaning? ”

Ziying lowered his head and thought, it is said that Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty imitated the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and wrote "The Divine Strange Scripture", and the "Divine Strange Scripture" is not as simple as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the things recorded are more attached to the nonsense.

However, when the scholars of the Eastern Han Dynasty interpreted the "Zuo Chuan", they used a messy "Divine Strange Scripture" as a commentary.

From ancient times to the Han Dynasty, it seems that there are always people who worship the things of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"... I don't know why.

Wei Yu was still incomprehensible, and frowned, "According to King Qin's intentions, there was really the Queen Mother of the West in the world in the past, and there was really an elixir of immortality on Kunlun Mountain?" ”

"The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" only says that 'everything exists', and it may just be that ordinary things in the world are there. If the Queen Mother of the West really had this ability, King Zhou Mu would have been immortal long ago, even if it was not King Zhou Mu, there should always be someone who was immortal. Seeing that Wei Mi was not kind to Ziying, Mo Zhi choked back, "When you say that you will help the king solve strange things together, you will only ask and ask!" ”

Wei Yu was reprimanded by a girl who was a fraction of her age, and she was silent.

"Does King Mu travel west to see the Queen Mother of the West? Carrying armor, it takes about 150 days? Ziying muttered and thought, always feeling that something was wrong.

Xuanzang's return from his westward trip to the Buddha country took a year and a half. King Mu's journey was even farther, so why did it take less than a third of the time?

On the way west, there was a rebellion in the country, and King Mu of Zhou also returned to Pingding halfway.

In the second year of visiting the Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the West also personally gave a large gift in return and stayed for many days.

It's unreasonable again!

There is only one explanation, that the longest-reigning monarch of the Zhou Dynasty saw no one at all, and the most women King Mu saw were women from the tribes of the Western Regions.

But... is the same weirdness, the things related to the Queen Mother of the West recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are absolutely impossible to match with the women of the Western Regions.

King Mu of Zhou likes to fight and does not like peace, although it is a great achievement, when there are only a few similarities, there is no need to fit a woman with the person in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The time when the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was written spanned a lot among the later generations, and most of them believed that it could be from Yao Shun Yu Qin to the pre-Qin period.

In any case, it is not unusual for the Bamboo Book Chronicle to mix historical facts with books that borderline mythology.

Unless everyone here thinks that this book is extraordinary, and the Queen Mother of the West is extraordinary...

And when it comes to deliberate fraud, Ziying has to think of the matter of Xia Shang's third generation...

"The widow has no clue!" Ziying was a little confused, raised his hand and pinched his forehead, "I only know that the Queen Mother of the West should be the king of a distant country, or she may have miraculous abilities, so that the king, including the first emperor, advocates pursuit, and even does not hesitate to forge history books." ”

"All kings worship? Is that God? Mo Cheng said, "The kings all call themselves the Son of Heaven, maybe the Queen Mother of the West is the Heavens?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Bo laughed and reprimanded.

"The Queen Mother of the West is just a human being, how can she become a god? Sky... The witch claims to be able to speak with the heavens, but the heavens borrow the mouth of the wizard to warn the monarchs of the world~" Wei Yu is a cliché.

"Ben Hou just said it casually." Mo Ying didn't seem to care, and turned to bury his head in the book.

Madame Bo chuckled silently.

Between the mood changes of several people, Ziying seemed to capture an extremely important feeling, which could lead him to the answer.

Queen Mother of the West... The Man Who Reaches Heaven...

Taibu... With the change of history, the status of Taibu...

Less and less popular with the world... Sky.

Ziying's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said loudly to Mrs. Bo, "Madam, can it be recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the Queen Mother of the West can reach the sky, or can she reach the sky?" ”

"Rong Chen's concubine is looking for it." Mrs. Bo was colorful, quickly picked out the bamboo slips, turned to a smile, and handed the bamboo slips to Ziying.

Wei Yi leaned over and said in his mouth, "'The void of Kunlun in the sea is in the northwest, and the emperor is under the capital. Kunlun's void, eight hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high. 'This... That's enough to get to the sky. ”

"Sure enough, there are such words... Is that really the case..."

Ziying lost his eyes, was dressed in black, and walked out of the study alone in the heavy snow.

"Your Majesty?"

"Madame, don't worry, Mr. Wei Yu can accompany the widow out." Ziying said lightly.

Wei Yi suddenly realized that Ziying had learned some secrets, and hurriedly pushed the door out.

"King Qin knows what Mr. Zifang said, what is the other reason for everything?!" Wei Yu said urgently.

"It's fate." Ziying smiled bitterly.

"What?!" Wei Yi's face was full of astonishment.

"It's fate, but it's God who is in charge, or there are many, many people who are stronger than me." Ziying sighed.

"What does King Qin mean? Can you put it bluntly?! "Wei is impatient.

"Straight talk? It's xx people. Ziying smiled, seeing that Wei Yu's face was ugly and no longer circled, "At the beginning of heaven and earth, there were very few people and they were faint. and a man who was near God came down into the world..."

"Does King Qin mean that the gods are strange people? Providence is also controlled by that group of people? Wei Yi frowned.

Ziying was slightly surprised, this kind of talk was actually known as soon as she heard it? When I think back to the first time we met, the sense of surprise gradually dissipated.

"That's right." Ziying Wangxue spoke, "There are more people in the world than Kyushu, but the rumors of the ancients are almost the same, they are all those 'gods', those stories, and the widow has to be so suspicious. ”

"But what does this have to do with the First Emperor? Besides, if there really are other people, why are the ancestors visible but not our generations? Wei Yu asked.

"It's simple, just because the ancestors will treat those people as gods, and we... or not the people of the Hereafter. These people didn't want to be exposed anymore, so they hid and watched us with strange abilities, even... From time to time, I will intervene in the controls..."

The more Ziying spoke, the more panicked she became, and even she felt that it was too ridiculous.

But putting aside similar myths in ancient times, why is Wang Mang, who can think across thousands of years and wants to implement social zy, so weird?

When Wang Mang was about to win the battle of hundreds of thousands of people, a meteorite fell from the sky and was defeated, and he finally died.

Because it is the will of God, Ziying prefers to believe that it is a group of xx people, a group of xx people whose intelligence and ability far exceed their unknown dimensions behind the scenes.

Wei Yi was silent, and was really shocked.

"Alas, the widow didn't want to say this, just because if Liu Bang won the world, the Han Dynasty he established would be divided into two halves. And the first half of the king of the dead country is also called 'Ziying'. ”
