Chapter 102: Exquisite Legend

"Legend has it that the Queen of Perfection has countless treasures buried beneath the ground, and if discovered, it would be a great fortune."

Wang Qi, who was riding on a horse, said to Jiang Ge.

"I know this, Wang Daxia should know better." Jiang Ge glanced sideways at Wang Daxia.

"It's a long story, but it's still quite interesting to say, do you want to hear it? Shall I tell you about it? ”

Without waiting for the painter to express his position, Wang Daxia began to talk endlessly.

The Elite Kingdom has always been dominated by women, and at the beginning of the Western Regions, when most countries were still just tribes, the Elite Kingdom was the most complete tribe in the continuation of the matriarchal society.

In Jingjue, the women were responsible for grazing and hunting, and the men were responsible for picking and taking care of the young and old, but also thanks to the natural conditions at that time, and the grassland area on the edge of the desert, there were not many wild animals.

Therefore, the Elite Tribe developed smoothly, and those tribes who were against the Elite Kingdom at that time or had thoughts about the Elite were not those who did not try to conquer this tribe that respected this woman.

But in the end, it all ended in failure.

The reason for this is to talk about the enviable and jealous queen of the essence.

Legend has it that the Queen of Perfection was buried in a hidden canyon in the Kunlun Mountains, and there was a quaint tombstone when the Queen was buried, which was discovered by the Queen after obtaining a mysterious cave.

So it also became her burial object.

It is said that in the mysterious cave she found an immortal elixir, which she has always treasured in an unknown place.

It wasn't until the Queen of Absolute felt that time was running out and she swallowed the elixir when she was about to end her life, but the miracle did not appear, and the Queen of Absolute did not continue to live because of the elixir.

But the tombstone that suddenly appeared after the burial felt particularly unusual.

Later, someone went to find the tombstone and translated the complicated inscriptions.

"After a thousand years, the Absolute Queen will be resurrected, and at the same time, 100,000 ghost soldiers will be resurrected together, and the world will suffer calamity because of this."

No one thought the curse was real, but the descendants of the Elite Kingdom believed in it.

And in the huge tomb of the Absolute Queen, there are endless treasures, among which there are countless treasures, and the number of gold, silver and jewelry is even more innumerable.

Therefore, there was a craze to find treasures, and it was also a period when the Elite Kingdom was devastated, and a large number of foreigners invaded the Daojing Country, going over the mountains and seas to find the so-called treasures.

I don't know how many people have been there, but in the end, none of them have been able to return to the Absolute King City.

Since then, people have known that the treasure of the Absolute Queen is a cursed existence, and there is no return.

And when the Exquisite Queen was young, she could be regarded as a flower in the Western Regions, not to mention extremely beautiful, and her skills were even more exquisite, and countless foreign men were obsessed with that era.

But the Absolute Queen doesn't trust any man, and always pampers one foreign man and then the next day.

It is also because of the indiscriminate and ruthless love of the Absolute Queen that it has led to frequent wars outside the Absolute Kingdom, and the lives of the people are miserable.

It can be said that the existence of the Absolute Queen at that time was extremely mysterious but hot, no one knew the true face of the Absolute Queen, and there was no record of any calligraphy and painting.

However, all the men who have come into contact with the Queen of Perfection will basically die in the war or die suddenly, and the specific cause cannot be found.

Therefore, the Exquisite Kingdom that has been handed down to the present is not actually a Superb Kingdom in the true sense, but only uses the name Exquisite Kingdom.

Moreover, now that the people of the Absolute Kingdom believe in the Dharma, the totem of the Absolute Queen has long disappeared in the long river of time.

"Didn't you say that the Queen's eyes could use magic?" The painter asked curiously.

"Yes, the legend of the Queen of Perfection is that the double pupil, that is, the double pupil." Wang Daxia replied

Through Wang Daxia's explanation, the Absolute Queen can use her eyes to make people disappear or petrify, which is a kind of ancient magic.

Jiang Ge felt that the legend of this exquisite queen was too magical, and there were some exaggerated elements, but it was just a legend, so naturally it was how powerful it was.

In this way, accompanied by the legend of the Absolute Queen, in less than half a month, everyone arrived at the Absolute Kingdom.

The road was still desolate, the people were gone, the villages and cities were empty, as if they were really taken by the Peerless Queen's parade and made everyone disappear.

Jiang Ge's little apprentice Kong Chan didn't feel anything unusual, Jiang Ge looked at the surrounding situation, it was very like he had gone through a tragic battle, although the time was a little long, there were still many traces of the aftermath of the battle under the wind and sand.

If this is calculated, the Jingjue country should have been looted by the Huns, and as for where the civilians went, it was very likely that they would be taken captive by the Huns, and they might all be killed in the war.

"I don't feel anything wrong, except for desolation or desolation, it looks like no one has been here for a long time." Wang Daxia gave her judgment.

"I didn't notice anything special, it was like an abandoned royal city." The painter also confirmed Wang Daxia's feelings.

"It should be that the Huns slaughtered the city or took people captive." Wang Qi said in a deep voice.

"So what now? Go to Loulan or back to Qiuzi? Jiang Ge asked Wang Qi.

"Loulan has been confirmed to have been slaughtered by the Huns a long time ago. If we don't find anything, let's go back to Qiuzi. ”

Jiang Ge also unified Wang Qi's opinion, since there was no one from Jingjue to Loulan, there was no need to check again, maybe there would be a large number of them

of the Hun army.

To avoid trouble, Jiang Ge decided to refine and repair for two days, and everyone would return to Qiuzi when they had enough spirits.

During this period, he had to go with Wang Daxia to find the treasure of the Exquisite Queen.

After the search of Jian Hong and the guards, they did find a treasure house, located under the palace, but the treasure house was already empty.

Scattered around the corner, you can see a gold coin or two, and there are many dry bones with different costumes.

"Probably thieves after the raids of the Huns." The painter is clear about the distinction between these costumes.

Jiang Ge nodded, agreeing with the painter's guess.

A group of people searched the empty underground warehouse for a long time without finding anything, and Jiang Ge and Wang Daxia had no choice but to give up the search for the treasure.

It's just that when he just returned to the ground, Jiang Ge heard two voices, yes, the sound of two people talking, a man and a woman, still so tired of talking.

"Ah, Brother Liangchen, why are there so many people."

"It's all acquaintances, it's okay, just ignore them."

Jiang Ge and Wang Daxia and his entourage looked at the two people living in their own world with black lines on their heads, and they were embarrassed.

Since people don't want to pay attention to them, they naturally won't stick a cold face to a hot ass.

But they came just in time, dragon slayer, Jiang Ge remembered hearing Wang Daxia say that there is a dragon qi leaking here, they are here to plug the hole, and they will naturally be able to find treasures.

Jiang Ge glanced at Wang Daxia, Wang Daxia understood, and chased after the two people who kissed me and me.

Jingjue may be Jiang Ge's last stop, and he will return to Jingzhou immediately after returning to Qiuzi, he can't miss the crown ceremony, and he has to marry Bai Ling'er.

As for the treasure, the enthusiasm is not very high, but I am still a little curious after hearing so many legends of the Exquisite Queen.

After a while, Wang Daxia walked back, and compared a done action, like a man for a while, like a mother for a while, and like a little girl for a while, this Wang Daxia is a little funny.

"They agreed, and they will leave tomorrow, and they have explored the specific location in the past few days, in the Kunlun Mountains in the south."

"Okay, in that case, let's go and see."

Early the next morning, the group set off at the same time, and the beautiful scenery of the good day was still you, but the speed of action was not slow, and a group of people hurried to Kunlun Mountain.

At about noon, everyone came to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, looking at the majestic Kunlun Mountains, everyone felt a sacred aura, as if there were really immortals on the top of this mountain.

Legend has it that the immortal lord of Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West, and the "Yao Pond" recorded in many ancient books. Forming the Kunlun June Snow Wonder, the water volume is large and stable, the legend is that the Queen Mother of the West used to brew the spring water of the elixir jade liquid, which is a high-quality mineral water. Originating in the middle reaches of the Golmud River in the Kunlun Mountains, it has eroded the thousand slate rocks for a long time, forming a dangerous wonder of the canyon cliff and a depth of dozens of meters. Qifeng is slim and elegant, and legend has it that it is the incarnation of the two younger sisters of the Jade Emperor.

Four hundred miles southwest of Huaijiang Mountain is Kunlun Mountain, which is the capital of the Yellow Emperor in the lower realm.

Mount Kunlun is under the supervision of Shen Lu Wu, and he also manages the Nine Heavenly Domains. Lu Wu has a tiger face, tiger claws, and nine tails. The mole in the mountains likes to eat people.

It has four horns and looks like a big goat when it is quiet. There is also a big bird called Qinyuan growing in the mountain, the shape is like a wasp, the size is similar to a mandarin duck, if Qinyuan stings other birds and beasts, these birds and beasts will die, if they sting trees, these trees will also die, and people will encounter it with more than lucky.

There is also a quail, which manages the various utensils and costumes of the Yellow Emperor. There is a tree called Begonia on the mountain, which is similar in shape to the Begonia tree, with yellow flowers and red fruits, and the fruit tastes like a plum, but has no core.

The begonia can be used to protect against floods, and if you eat its fruit, you will not drown. The grass in the mountains is shaped like an aoi and tastes like an onion, so eating it can relieve fatigue. The river originates here, flows southward, and then flows eastward into Wuda. The red water also originates here, flowing southeast into the water of the sky.

The ocean water also originates in the Kunlun Mountains and flows southwest into the water of Choutu. Black water also flows out of the Kunlun Mountains and flows southwest into Daqi. There are a lot of kiwi birds and beasts growing here.

Shen Lu Wu, according to Guo Pu's commentary, is the shoulder Wu, Zhuang Zhou once said: "The shoulder I get, to get the mountain." "The god Lu Wu, who is like a tiger, is said to be the enlightened beast in the "Hai Nei Xi Jing". Quail birds, is the phoenix of the genus of birds, "Hai Nei West Classic" said, Kunlun enlightened northwest have phoenixes, is referring to this kind of quail birds, "Bird Classic" said: "Red phoenix is called the quail." ”

This is the introduction that Jiang Ge once saw in a book introducing the legends of the Western Regions, the myths of ancient times have to be said to be very wonderful and bizarre, and Jiang Ge's experience in the Western Regions made him feel that these myths and legends are not groundless.

It must have been changed and exaggerated in accordance with some things that actually existed, after all, too many unreasonable things appeared on Jiang Ge's body, and he had to believe that there might really be immortals in the distant ancient period.

"There is a Kunlun Spring on Kunlun Mountain that does not freeze all year round, and the legend is that it is the gathering of the Yao Chi Holy Water of the Queen Mother of the West, which contains the magic power of the immortal family, and ordinary people can eliminate all kinds of diseases and prolong life by drinking a sip. But no one knew where the spring was, and no one who had been looking for it had ever returned. ”

Wang Daxia's explanations along the way and the interspersing of mythological stories are colorful, which makes both Kong Zen and the little stool feel amazing.

"Death Valley ahead, the place we are looking for is in Death Valley, you all be careful." For the first time, Liangchen took the initiative to speak to everyone, indicating that this canyon might be really dangerous.

"Speaking of Death Valley, legend has it that there was once a shepherd grazing nearby, and a few foals ate the flowers and plants in the valley and kept walking deeper into the valley

The shepherd found that the foal was not there, so he went into the valley to look for it, but he never came out again until the tribesmen found him, and guess what. "Wang Daxia sold a pass, but he didn't tell the result to Xiao Kongzen and Xiao Stool.

This made the two children very aggrieved, pestering her to give the answer, and everyone entered the valley of death for a short time.

Wang Daxia wanted to scare the two children, so he pointed to an isolated stone not far away and said, "As a result, when I found the shepherd, it became like that." ”

Jiang Ge thought it was funny, the empty Zen and the small stool were also simple, so they were fooled.

Empty meditation is a mind that wants to be understood, much more diligent than a lazy little stool, and runs to the stone to take a closer look.

It's really a person who seems to have been petrified, and if it's a stone carving, the skills are really extraordinary, just like a real person.

"Master, Wang Daxia is right, this is the shepherd."

In the canyon, a simple and crisp voice sounded, and Jiang Ge, Wang Daxia, painter Jianhong and others were nervous by this sentence.

Did Wang Daxia really say it?

Everyone came to the empty Zen place to take a look, and it was exactly the same as the legend of Wang Daxia, and everyone just listened to it as a story, but they didn't expect that such a thing would really happen, and the evidence was clearly placed here, which made people have to believe it.

"Wang Daxia, your mouth is really effective." Jiang Ge quipped.

At this time, Wang Daxia felt a chill in his back, and a legend really appeared.

I always feel that there is some gloomy and inexplicable sense of horror around everyone, this is Wang Daxia's own feeling, in fact, Jiang Ge also has this strong feeling.

These stories are true, and there are different theories about what happened to the shepherd and why he turned into a frightened stone statue. There is also a claim that he saw the truth about the Queen Mother of the West and was punished, and there is also a claim that I think is extremely credible, that he saw the Queen of Excellence, at least the doppelganger or soul of the Queen of Perfection. ”

Liangchen spoke again, and his explanation explained the story of Wang Daxia very well.

"So, the Absolute Queen really exists?" The painter asked earnestly.

"I haven't seen it so I don't know, but in my experience, it should exist, but it's not like the legend, what encounters with mysterious caves found treasures and immortal elixirs, and any curses are." Liangchen said lightly.

"What does the hero guess it will be? If not what the legend suggests. Wang Daxia asked.

"Kunlun Mountain was an important place for immortals in ancient times, the immortal residence of the Queen Mother of the West, and Kunlun Mountain was also one of the important battlefields during the battle of dragon slaying. At that time, the dragon clan guarding in Kunlun Mountain was defeated, and the Queen Mother of the West was the immortal family of the dragon clan guarding here, so there were countless dragon bones buried in the ground of this huge Kunlun Mountain Range, and after countless years, only the dragon soul remained.

It may be because of the earth's own reasons, there will be a violent vibration every hundred years, which will cause cracks in the cage of the dragon burial land in Kunlun Mountain, so there will be dragon qi leaking, and the immortal queen who is already dead is really dead.

It's just that the luck is very good, buried in a dragon qi leakage of the mouth, the body over the years did not rot, but was eroded and nourished by the dragon qi, and then became a demon.

I guess that's probably it. ”

Liangchen's series of explanations can be regarded as telling the true story of the Exquisite Queen.

In other words, the Queen of Essence was indeed an enviable queen when she was alive, and the Kingdom of Essence was also a matriarchal kingdom, and those normal stories were all true.

The legends made up are from the time of the death of the Absolute Queen, and then after the burial, and this terrifying and terrifying legend is actually something that happens in every dynasty.

Those kings would even arrange something strange when they were buried by themselves, so that they would spread and become legends.

On the one hand, it is good to deter those small children, and on the other hand, so that they will not be forgotten at the same time, and the best way to pass them on through the ages is to create these bizarre legends that make people remember them vividly.

Coupled with people's curiosity, it will become more and more bizarre and more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the goal is achieved, it is really sophisticated, and it is no wonder that these people can sit on that throne.

"In front of the death cave, our dragon slayer has been responsible for repairing the dragon tomb for generations, although it is also the first time I have come to Kunlun, but there are records in the family, basically there is no difficulty to find, and I also understand the actual situation in each place.

About the Absolute Queen, you can understand that it is real, maybe you may all meet her today, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, according to the family records, there is a humanoid Jiao here, which should be the Absolute Queen in the story.

Some ancestors have seen this Jiao, and some ancestors have not seen it when they came. The two sides fought for thousands of years, so much so that after that, we couldn't kill her, and he couldn't kill us. ”

"Why is that?" The painter was amazed.

"If it is divided according to the level of the dragon clan, she is still just a shape-shifting Jiao, that is, because she absorbs dragon qi and forms Jiao from other types, which is equivalent to completely changing her own structure, and belongs to the lowest level of the dragon clan, it takes some time and the nourishment of dragon qi to fully transform into Jiao.

You should know that most of the Jiao are snake creatures, Jiao is not a snake nor a dragon, if you want to become a dragon, you must first become a dragon, and then practice, because the time has come to go to the big desecration, the desecration is successful, the road is not dead, and finally enter the East China Sea to become a dragon.

So this Jiao didn't think it was interesting to fight with us, and basically cultivated in a deep sleep. ”
