Chapter 192: Journey to the West

"Do you know what happened at that time, when the soldiers opened the coffin and found the body intact, just like the one that had just been buried? Except that King Zhou Mu's corpse was not very good, there was not much difference between the fact that there were no living people. At first, everyone just sighed that the burial method was superb, and the body could be preserved so intact. But the next period of events shocked everyone, including Qin Shi Huang. ”

"In front of the civil and military officials, as well as countless soldiers, the corpse of King Zhou Mu actually opened his eyes. At that time, everyone was frightened, and the soldiers who were supposed to escort them fled in fright. Fortunately, Li Si was by the side of the First Emperor, and immediately ordered the guards to go up to subdue this deceitful King Zhou Mu. The soldiers were just about to make a move, but Qin Shi Huang next to him actually stopped them. ”

Speaking of which, Qin Shi Huang was really very bold, seeing a corpse open his eyes but not panicking. Qin Shi Huang personally went up to check it out and found that King Zhou Mu not only opened his eyes, but also recovered his vital signs, and even began to open his mouth to talk to the people around him. ”

Although King Zhou Mu began to open his mouth to speak, he didn't know if he hadn't spoken for too long, or if the words of the early Zhou period were different from those of the Qin and Han dynasties, and everyone couldn't listen to them. However, listening to what King Zhou Mu said, it really didn't look like the words of the Central Plains. ”

The First Emperor sent someone to take King Zhou Mu out of the coffin, so that he could serve him, and a few days later, King Zhou Mu returned to normal and said words that everyone could understand. Qin Shi Huang went to see King Mu of Zhou again, and the two great kings began to talk. ”

Qin Shi Huang told King Mu of Zhou about his great cause of sweeping Liuhe and swallowing the world over the years. King Mu of Zhou listened with relish, and when it came to the fact that the Zhou Dynasty was also wiped out by the First Emperor, King Mu of Zhou did not have much reaction. According to King Zhou Mu, the rise and fall of a country has its own destiny, and there is no need to force it against the will of heaven. The two had a very pleasant conversation, and finally King Mu of Zhou also began to tell the first emperor about his experiences during his journey to the west. ”

"King Zhou Mu talked about it for a long time, and the maidservant next to him sent a few meals, and the first emperor didn't have the heart to enjoy it, because the story that King Zhou Mu told him was really amazing. At the beginning, King Zhou Mu said that there was nothing "peculiar", but it was only when he later told him about the poor country of Houyi and the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain, that the first emperor was really interested. ”

"This story, the first emperor who listened to it was very fascinated, after all, King Zhou Mu really saw the mythical Queen Mother of the West, which is a fairy-like character. King Mu of Zhou talked about all kinds of magical experiences, what to eat and what kind of wine to drink on Kunlun Mountain. The reason why Emperor Shi kept chatting with King Zhou Mu was to know the most important thing, that is, how King Zhou Mu was resurrected. After all, immortality is attractive to everyone. ”

When the First Emperor asked why King Zhou Mu was resurrected, King Zhou Mu did not hide it, but directly told a story to the First Emperor. At the beginning of Kunlun Mountain, King Zhou Mu discovered a thing, when he was drinking and feasting with the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountain, King Zhou Mu saw many fairy-like characters, those characters were 1,800 years old, but they still maintained the appearance of twenty or thirty years old, which made King Zhou Mu very surprised. ”

After another banquet, while the Queen Mother of the West was happy, King Mu of Zhou asked the Queen Mother of the West about this issue of immortality. The Queen Mother of the West did not keep her mouth shut, but told King Zhou Mu cheerfully, because it was not a secret in Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West told him that there was a magical thing on Kunlun Mountain, and that this thing made everyone immortal, and took him to see it. ”

"King Zhou Mu and Queen Mother Xi came to a cave, and there was really something strange on the rock wall of the cave inside. These things are dark green and look like plants, but they move to the touch. To put it simply, this thing is neither a plant nor an animal, it is both dead and alive. It's a pretty magical thing anyway. ”

At this time, King Zhou Mu also moved the idea of immortality, and the Queen Mother of the West also agreed to give it to him, but asked him to stay on Kunlun Mountain forever. Although King Zhou Mu likes to play, he is reluctant to leave his country, so he refuses to do so, but he also has his own ideas in his heart. ”

That night, King Zhou Mu threw away some of the kind of things that can make people immortal overnight, and left on the eight horses. This escape is thousands of miles, after the Queen Mother of the West found out, she sent people to chase after her, but these eight horses were very fast, and in the end the Queen Mother of the West could only return in vain. When King Zhou Mu returned to the capital, he couldn't wait to eat the immortal thing, but there were some accidents. ”

After King Zhou Mu ate it, he felt that he had obtained an immortal body, and it was true, for more than ten years, King Zhou Mu did not appear to be aging. It's just that one day, a monk saw King Zhou Mu and found that King Zhou Mu was not really immortal, but had become a living dead. At first, Zhou Tianzi didn't believe it, but later some changes in his body made King Zhou Mu have to believe it. ”

King Zhou Mu did everything possible to invite the Fang Shi back, and the Fang Shi said that the Queen Mother of Naxi did not tell him the full content of the method of immortality, and he should need some other things. King Zhou Mu wanted to go back to the Queen Mother of the West to ask for other things at this time, but because he had already offended the Queen Mother of the West, it was basically impossible to go back. And even if King Zhou Mu goes back, the Queen Mother of the West will not let him come back. ”

"Since it was a foregone conclusion at that time, King Zhou Mu was helpless. In order to prevent future generations from suffering from this thing, King Zhou Mu had these things sealed and left an order that future generations were not allowed to use this thing. King Mu of Zhou was no longer willing to remain in the world as a living dead, so he passed the throne to his son, and asked Fang Shi to make a gift of eternal sleep for himself. ”

This is why King Zhou Mu was found in the coffin. After the First Emperor knew about this, he also had the idea of immortality, but he didn't know what to do with this King Mu of Zhou at that time. Three days later, King Zhou Mu suddenly made up his mind, but when he sent someone to find King Zhou Mu, King Zhou Mu was gone. The First Emperor sent people to look for a few months, but he did not find any trace of King Zhou Mu, there was no way, although the method of immortality had not been completely figured out, but he could only try to do it himself. ”

This is the story recorded in the first part of the bamboo slip, that is, the story that happened between Qin Shi Huang and King Mu of Zhou. And the story recorded in the second part of this bamboo slip is even more incredible. ”
