Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lost Myth

The Queen Mother is the goddess of immortality in ancient Chinese myths and legends who is in charge of immortality, punishes evil, and warns of disasters.

Many ancient books and legends have records about the Queen Mother of the West, knowing that the Queen Mother has the elixir of immortality, when King Zhou Mu took the eight horses made by his father to travel around the world, west to the Kunlun Mountains, took out the white jade ritual vessel to meet the Queen Mother of the West, the next year, the Queen Mother of the West feasted King Zhou Mu in Yaochi, and the Queen Mother of the West gave King Zhou Mu the art of immortality.

But this legend is just a few words, and I don't know how to complete this story to tell you, but if you come here today, you can know the ins and outs of the whole mythological story, because there is a detailed record of the whole story here.

"Where is it", Lao Hu looked at Yan Wenbin and said.

"On the stone wall, there are reliefs on the stone walls, and the predecessors will leave a message on the reliefs, maybe the reliefs can tell us whose tomb this is" Gang Wenbin has found clues to crack the identity of the tomb owner.

Sure enough, Lao Hu walked around and found that there were reliefs on the walls.

The relief carving where they entered the door depicts a sea of flowers, and there are three big characters of flowers on the other side next to it, which is very conspicuous.

"What kind of flower is the flower on the other side, why haven't I heard of it before", Lao Hu looked at it for a long time and didn't understand what it meant.

"The flower of the other side, called the flower of the underworld, also called the flower of death, legend, a long, long time ago, the Santu River in the underworld was full of large areas of flowers on the other side. Its floral fragrance has a magical power that can make people recall their past lives, and it is a flower that blooms in the kingdom of heaven. It is also the only flower that blooms on Huangquan Road."

"Flowers bloom on the other side, leading to the Netherworld. Others say that it is the flower that was made of the tears of two people, and that the flower that stained the blood of one of them red."

.“ Sometimes, you can see the flowers in full bloom, the bright red flowers are like the palms of the hands that pray only to heaven, so devout and passionate and hopeless happiness. This fire-like flower is full of sorrow but burning with the loyalty of love."

"What's next, the information depicted in a relief is limited, we have time, don't rush, it's not too late to figure out all the ins and outs", Gang Wenbin is a person who has to figure out everything.

The second depicts a very large lake, with a beautiful ancient woman by the lake, and a peach tree on the shore of the lake, and a peach tree with a lot of fruit on it, and then a man dressed in the emperor's costume sets out from an ancient city on a horse, and goes along a winding road, and then the man comes to the lake and is entertained by the woman.

If my guess is correct, this beautiful woman is the Queen Mother of the West, this lake is called Yaochi, and the man in the painting is King Zhou Mu, which is a myth and legend.

Yaochi is the place where the Queen Mother of the West lives in Chinese mythology, and it has been recorded in the classic book "Liezi Zhou Mu Wang" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Sui Bin is the Queen Mother of the West, and she is on the Yao Pond." The Queen Mother of the West is the king's ballad, and the king is in harmony, and her words are mournful. It is the place where the sun is watched. Thousands of miles in one day. "

It means that the place of residence of the Queen Mother of the West is Yaochi, and Yaochi is the Heavenly Court Beppu where the Queen Mother rests, named - Beiyou Dongtian, which is also the location of Yaochi.

Legend has it that more than 3,000 years ago, the son of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Mu Wang Jiman, once sat on eight horses that traveled 30,000 miles a day, set off from the capital, traveled thousands of miles, along the Tianshan Mountains to Yaochi to meet the Western Queen Mother, the leader of the Western Regions Tribal Alliance.

When King Zhou Mu and his guards arrived, the Queen Mother of the Western Dynasty, dressed up, stood on the edge of the Yao Pond and greeted the distinguished guests from afar with the most solemn tribal etiquette.

Yao Chi is like a mirror, the green grass is like a tree, and people "blow the sheng drum spring, and the center soars". King Zhou Mu brought a large number of silk fabrics and precious gifts such as gui and bi to the Queen Mother of the West, and the host brought out a variety of sumptuous Western dishes, special milk wine and wine to entertain him.

The strange scenery of Yaochi's "Divine Pond is vast, like a mirror floating in the sky" makes King Zhou Mu fascinated and forgetful.

Happy days are always very short, King Zhou Mu has to return to the east, and the Queen Mother of the West held a grand farewell banquet. The solemn and healthy Queen Mother of the West left the table and danced, singing in a tactful voice like flowing clouds and flowing water: The white clouds are in the sky, the mountains and tombs come out of their own eyes, the road is far away, and the mountains and rivers are among them.

King Mu of Zhou solemnly raised the wine, and sang on the spot: to return to the east of the land, and to negotiate the summer, the people are average, I take care of you, than three years, will be back to the wild, they meet for a period of three years, the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou are reluctant to say goodbye.

Before leaving, King Zhou Mu also planted a locust tree with his own hands and set up a stone tablet, which was engraved with five big characters of "Mountain of the West Queen Mother".

It's a pity that King Zhou Mu was not able to come to meet the Queen Mother of the West at the end of the period, leaving only these two good verses that have been praised through the ages, giving people infinite flaws.

The Queen Mother of the West, in the hearts of the Chinese, the image of the Holy Mother is graceful and noble, a benevolent goddess with transcendent status, immortal dwelling in the sacred realm of Yaochi in the Tianshan Mountains, and the territory is planted with 3,000 years of flowering and 3,000 years of fruiting "Queen Mother Peach", which is immortal.

In the ancient Chinese book "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", it is said that the Virgin Mary is stunning and amazing, and has given a peach to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is recorded that the Virgin Mary is elegant and gentle in words and deeds, and once invited King Mu of Zhou to have a banquet in Yaochi, but it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that the Virgin of Yaochi is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, a roaring sound that shakes the sky, and her long hair flies, bearing the mandate of heaven, and is in charge of human punishment, and is responsible for spreading plague viruses and disasters.

"Xiao Gang, why don't you go to the underpass to tell a story, I think you will be able to make a lot of money by telling a story, just a picture is said to have a nose and eyes, I am ashamed of myself" Lao Hu looked at Yan Wenbin with envy, because Leng Bingyan was standing next to him, listening with relish, if he had such a ability, it was definitely not a problem to pick up girls.

"What he said is not wrong, but you didn't find it, Xiao Gang is holding a bronze loose plate in his hand, this is called a bronze loose plate, there is a text record on it, but you can't read the text on it", Leng Bingyan felt that Lao Hu was stupid, and Yan Wenbin was translated according to the text.

"No wonder I said how Xiao Gang would know the meaning of the relief depiction, continue, you look slowly, I'll ask you at the end, chewing words is still the strength of you readers, I don't know a few big characters, don't bother the two of you", Lao Hu seemed to have something to say, but Yan Wenbin glanced at Lao Hu, and Lao Hu left with interest.

The third mural depicts a winged dragon fighting a woman with a body covered in fire, but the winged dragon is pierced through the chest by a sharp sword, but the woman with a body of fire and an ugly face has tears in her eyes.

And under a well, the winged dragon was chained, and there was a peach tree next to the ancient well, and the Queen Mother of the West stood from a distance and watched.

"Lao Hu, who do you see this woman is", Yan Wenbin said, pointing to the ugly women on both sides of the mural, who were covered in fire.

"Look, isn't this a drought? The woman who is full of fire is only a drought, didn't we just encounter it just now, fortunately, it was a big fate, otherwise we would all be burned to death now", Lao Hu felt that Yan Wenbin must be trying to tease him again, and said with an expression that pulled his face as if Yan Wenbin had swallowed hundreds of his big yellow croaker.

"It seems that you know, I won't test you, remember how I did it?" In fact, Yan Wenbin was already teaching Lao Hu what to do after going to the tomb, but Lao Hu didn't understand it.

"I want to remember what you do? It's funny, I'm hungry, I'll eat first", Lao Hu said reluctantly.

"I originally wanted to tell you the trick of robbing the tomb, but forget it, it's better not to sue you", Yan Wenbin knew that Lao Hu was not honest, and he would definitely touch things if he was idle and had nothing to do, but once he touched the mechanism, no one could leave, so he could only let Lao Hu stay by his side, and everyone would be safe.

"Really, you are really willing to teach me to rob tombs", Lao Hu heard Yan Wenbin say this, and immediately said with an excited expression, like a little traitor, which made people look disgusted.

"You can learn how I do it now, I will teach you in the future, but don't mess with things, there are hidden weapons here, don't move if you don't want to be like the dead people outside, don't move, otherwise I can't do anything if I want to save you" Yan Wenbin could only tell the truth, Lao Hu heard that he was going to teach him to rob tombs, and he followed behind him like a fart.

This is the story of Ying Long and Dry Fish, because in mythology there is only Ying Long who has wings.

At the beginning of the earth, the sacred tree bestowed divinity on the gods. Ying Long is water, the female is fire, and the two have the fate of repelling each other and not being able to get close. But the Daughter of Fire falls in love with the Water Dragon.

When Ying Long was locked in the tree of the chain because of his sin, the female who could not meet Ying Long could only come to the tree every day to comfort Ying Long with the most beautiful song in the heavenly realm, and the beautiful song gave new hope to Ying Long, who was already decadent and desperate.

Day after day, the female girl was too close to Ying Long, and her originally beautiful appearance gradually became ugly. But she would rather lose the most beautiful face in the world, or sing every day, but she is getting sadder and sadter day by day. "

After a long time, although Ying Long fell in love with a woman with a beautiful singing voice, he never saw the woman's face. "

In the holy war against Chiyou, Ying Long was released by the Yellow Emperor and cooperated with the gods such as Nulu. Help the Yellow Emperor win the final victory.

In order to make Ying Long return to the heavenly realm, the female dragon secretly tried to transfer the turbidity of Ying Long to herself, but she lost her divine power and was dominated by evil and caused chaos in the world, and there was a great drought everywhere she went.

Time flies, Ying Long's wings gradually dyed black, and his flesh began to turn into fine gray, and finally, as if he heard the song of the female man, he was ecstatic, dragging his dying body, step by step into the sea, and did not look back.

In the sky, a red blue bird with golden light was hovering and screaming, as if telling the final end of the story.

The sea gradually washed away the silt on a white stone, and the words of pain, hope, despair were engraved on it: one year, two years, three years; Ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years. Even using eternal time to wait.

Ying Long didn't know that Nulu was the one who sang beside him, and he couldn't help crying blood when he watched Ying Long endlessly chasing his phantom on the Yellow Spring Sea. Whispering Singing: Even if I can only see your back, I am happy.
