Chapter 314: The Treasure of the Queen Mother of the West

Hearing these two answers from Manager Zhao's mouth, Mo Xiaochuan suddenly frowned secretly.

He was a little surprised.

Because theoretically speaking, these two places have no necessary relationship with the Queen Mother of the West.

Of course, if you have to go to the real place, in fact, the entire Wanzhou has no necessary connection with the Queen Mother of the West.

So at the beginning, when Mo Xiaochuan heard that the Queen Mother of the West might appear in Wanzhou, he was also at a loss.

However, if you carefully analyze and compare, you will find that there is still a big difference between the Journey to the West Cave and the Tomb of Ganning.

One is based on myths and stories, and the other is based on historical facts.

First of all, let's talk about the tomb of Ganning.

Anyone who has watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", or played the "Three Kingdoms Killing" board game, should know that Gan Ning is the general of Wu State.

But what's interesting is that Gan Ning is actually a Shu person.

What's even more interesting is that Gan Ning died in the last of the "three major battles" of the Three Kingdoms, the Battle of Yiling.

In July 221 AD, that is, three months after Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, became emperor, on the grounds of avenging his second brother Guan Yu, Liu Bei waved an army of 50,000 and went east to conquer Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, which was magnificent.

After Sun Quan failed to sue for peace, he had no choice but to make peace with Cao Wei and sent Lu Xun to lead his army to fight.

Lu Xun not only successfully blocked the attack of the Shu Han army, but also defeated the Shu army in the Yiling area in August of the following year.

This is the Battle of Yiling.

From a certain point of view, the fiasco in the Battle of Yiling was another big loss in strength of Shu Han after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.

Gan Ning died in the Battle of Yiling.

Because of this, when Gan Ningqi died on the battlefield and was buried in his hometown, his clansmen were worried about being punished, so they went incognito to avoid trouble in a foreign land.

Although the locals respected Gan Ning's bravery, they did not dare to publicize it, so they secretly built a grave for him, and even did not dare to set up a monument.

It was not until the thirties of the last century that the local teacher rebuilt the tomb for Gan Ning, and built two steles, the inscriptions were "the tomb of the great general Gan Ning" and "the hometown of Wu Zhechong Xiling Taishou Ganning".

Mo Xiaochuan didn't know what the specific conditions for the opening of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land were, but a place like the tomb obviously did not match the meaning of Fuze, and no matter how you looked at it, Gan Ning didn't seem to have anything to do with the mountains and seas, let alone all the involvement with the Queen Mother of the West, so in the subconscious, Mo Xiaochuan had already ruled out this place.

Then there is only one Journey to the West cave left.

Speaking of this Journey to the West Cave, the first thing you need to know is that the origin of this name is also because it was the filming location of the TV series "Journey to the West".

It is similar to the water curtain hole in the Red Fruit Tree Waterfall.

And that's where the interesting part comes in.

In the Westward Journey Cave in Wanzhou, there is also a scenic spot that is named: Water Curtain Cave.

Not only that, but it is said that there is also a Kannon Cave here......

However, Journey to the West Cave itself is not widely known because it is the filming location of "Journey to the West", as early as the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake made an evaluation of "the world's first strange cave", which is famous all over the world.

So almost at the same time that Manager Zhao mentioned the Journey to the West Cave, Mo Xiaochuan completely locked it, if nothing else, this time Wanzhou's Cave Heaven Blessed Land was opened, and it should be here!

The reason is simple.

This Journey to the West Cave, like the Red Fruit Tree Waterfall, has an inseparable relationship with the TV series "Journey to the West"!

Speaking of which, maybe it's just a coincidence, in addition to the aforementioned Xu Xiake, as we all know, the original author of "Journey to the West", Wu Chengen, is also from the Ming Dynasty!

Could it be that Wu Chengen was also a referee?

Mo Xiaochuan quickly dismissed this speculation.

Because there is a person who was born in the same era as Wu Chengen.

Li Shizhen.

It seems this way, on the contrary, it is the director of the TV series "Journey to the West", maybe it is more likely that he is not an ordinary person!

Because at least in the two openings of the cave blessed land that Mo Xiaochuan knows, they are inseparable from the selection of scenes in the TV series "Journey to the West"!

Is it a coincidence?

Mo Xiaochuan felt that it was not so simple.

Of course, as things stand, this doesn't matter for the time being.

"What else do you know?"

Mo Xiaochuan's voice was as cold as before, making Manager Zhao's face as pale as paper.

In fact, until this moment, Manager Zhao still didn't know where Mo Xiaochuan and the others came from, let alone why the other party suddenly did it to him, was it really just for intelligence?

Manager Zhao is not stupid, and can even be regarded as a smart person, so he knows that things are definitely not so simple.

While constantly thinking about where the other party's enmity with himself came from, he whispered, "Except for this...... It is said that the opening of the cave is related to the Queen Mother of the West, because half a month ago, there was a large-scale bird flu near the Journey to the West Cave and the Gan Ning Tomb, and some people claimed to have seen the leopard demon who had become a spirit, and three people in the vicinity had disappeared......"

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan's brows furrowed a little deeper.

Indeed, in the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the image of the Queen Mother of the West is with a leopard's tail and tiger teeth, and she is in charge of the epidemic.

But this is the reason why Mo Xiaochuan is preconceived.

In other words, if it weren't for the alien demon of the mountains and seas, or someone who had a certain amount of research on the Queen Mother of the West, it would be impossible to associate it with the dignified Queen Mother of the West based on what Manager Zhao said.

So Mo Xiaochuan said a little impatiently: "Let's talk about the point." ”

Manager Zhao coughed twice, spewed out a few more grains of blood dust, and then said again: "The point is that a few days ago, a group of MSS people went to these two places to clear the field, and then all of them were withdrawn, and I have a friend who happened to be on an errand inside, and he told me that it seems that he is looking for immortal medicine!"

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan completely understood.

It turns out that this is how the news came.

Fair and reasonable.

After all, what could be more direct than the legend of the elixir of immortality, which can make people's first reaction think of the Queen Mother of the West?

Mo Xiaochuan didn't know if there was a so-called immortal medicine in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, at least it was not mentioned in the record of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but even he couldn't deny how attractive this legend was to the world.

Since ancient times, kings have sought immortality, let alone all living beings?

So, the old guy is also here for the elixir of immortality?

Even if you live for tens of thousands of years, it's still not enough?

Mo Xiaochuan sighed secretly in his heart, and then asked Manager Zhao: "Okay, now the last question, why did you sell this news to the islanders?"
