Chapter Seventy-Five: The Road to Immortality (Part II)

What does Kunlun Mountain mean? It is not only the largest mountain range in western China, the birthplace of Chinese Taoism, but also has the reputation of "the ancestor of the dragon vein" in Feng Shui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info When it comes to Kunlun Mountain, we can't help but think of the Queen Mother of the West, because among many myths, there are too many legends related to it, and ancient books and legends generally believe that the owner of Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West.

Speaking of which, we must point out the second identity of the Queen Mother of the West, as we have said before, the Queen Mother of the West refers to the queen of the Queen Mother of the West, she is not a specific person, she can be regarded as a queen's title. However, the ancient books of Taoism record another identity of the Queen Mother of the West, saying that he is the head of the fairy of the Three Realms and Ten Directions, and he is the god of Taoism, and his status in Taoism is second only to the legendary "Three Zun", and his status is high, which can be seen.

However, the most popular thing in the folk of the Queen Mother of the West is not these, but the legend that she can refine the elixir, among which the story of "Chang'e Running to the Moon" is the most prominent, and it has become one of the well-known mythological stories to this day.

Now the third uncle told us that the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo Qu to be sick was Kunlun Mountain, which made us suddenly sensitive, and this matter must be related to the mysterious figure of the Queen Mother of the West. From this, it can be deduced that the underground palace that Huo Qubing found in the mountains is likely to be the underground royal tomb of the Queen Mother of the West.

Thinking about some of these things, I said calmly to the third uncle: "The original intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send Huo Qu to Kunlun Mountain is probably to find the legendary Queen Mother of the West, because among many legends, only the Queen Mother of the West has the elixir in her hands. ā€

The third uncle lit a cigarette and said to me: "You are right, but we know that the Queen Mother of the West cannot really be an immortal, so he finally only found the underground mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West. Do you still remember the armored zombie we met in Maoling, according to the description on the mural, he is actually Huo Quzhi, and the now known Huo Qubing tomb is actually just a clothed mound. ā€

I was slightly taken aback, the original mark was very strange, according to the tomb system of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's tomb is not allowed to appear in one tomb and two coffins, but there is a burial coffin in the Maoling, this thing is too abnormal.

Now that I think about it carefully, it is estimated that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ashamed, so he made an exception and put Huo Quai's real body at the entrance of the Maoling Underground Palace, but it is not ruled out that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used Huo Qubing as a Yin soldier guarding the tomb.

I remember that after the third uncle killed the armor zombie, he bowed unprecedentedly, and I thought that this old boy admired the bravery of the armor zombie, so he was so polite. Now it seems that he must have known the identity of the other party, felt that he was a bit of a bastard in doing so, and bowed to apologize, or hoped to be forgiven by the other party.

The third uncle continued to us: "Actually, just from the murals of Maoling, I don't know that the place where Huo Qu's illness went was Kunlun Mountain, and I only knew the truth of the matter through Song Taibao's epitaph. ā€

In Song Taibao's epitaph, it is recorded that Liu Bowen only received two bronze boxes in the Maoling Tomb, one in the coffin of Huo Qubing and the other in the coffin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, Song Taibao didn't know what was in the bronze box, because after returning from Maoling, Liu Bowen took the bronze box to meet Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

The third uncle guessed that the things in the bronze box must be something like an epitaph, because after returning from the palace, Liu Bowen immediately summoned the guards and said the next place to rob the tomb, but what Song Taibao couldn't imagine was that the place they were going to turned out to be Kunlun Mountain.

Kunlun Mountain and his entourage went to more than 200 people in total, but when they came back, there were only a dozen people left, and a few people finally fell into the corpse poison and walked into the footsteps of Huo Qu's disease. It may be that incident hit Song Taibao too hard, so in the epitaph, he only revealed it in a few words, but he mentioned two extremely important things.

The first thing is, according to Liu Bowen's instructions, they found the legendary Tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, and got a jade plate from it, and this jade plate Song Taibao was no stranger, because he had seen it in the coffin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The only difference between the two jade plates is that there is only one groove on the jade plate in the coffin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, while the jade plate obtained in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West has a bottle in the groove, and Song Taibao suspects that the bottle contains the elixir of life.

The second thing, Kunlun Mountain and his party, although Liu Bowen led everyone into the depths of the underground palace, he did not enter the main burial chamber where the coffin of the Queen Mother of the West was placed. The reason is simple, the door of the main burial chamber is equipped with an ingenious mechanism, which requires a unique key to open, and this key cannot be replaced by anything.

The third uncle said to us with some distress: "In other words, it is not difficult to create the same key, but it may be a difference in material, and the key of the same shape cannot open the mechanism when you put it in, which is a very strange problem." ā€

In my understanding of keys, this situation is not likely to happen, you think about it, two identical keys, even if there is a slight difference in material, but as long as the toughness is the same, it makes no sense that it cannot open the same lock spring.

We didn't discuss this matter too much, and the third uncle then told us that after the incident in Kunlun Mountain, Liu Bowen had been looking for the unique key, and he seemed to know the origin of the key, so he started a series of actions later.

According to Song Taibao's epitaph, the subsequent actions were very chaotic, and Liu Bowen first led them to Shaanxi and Shanxi, and then to Hunan and Xiangxi, as well as Tibet.

What made Song Taibao strange was that after Liu Bowen went to these places, he did not go to rob the tombs, but found some local ethnic minorities and historians, and asked them about the key, but he did not get the answer he wanted.

Liu Bowen was very angry at that time, thinking that the other party was deceiving him, so he led everyone to steal several tombs one after another, and in his opinion, the unique key must have been brought to the mausoleum by the ancestors of those ethnic minorities.

What shocked us is that the tombs stolen by Liu Bowen were not simple royal tombs, but Fuxi Tomb, Nuwa Tomb, Yandi Tomb, Yellow Emperor Tomb, Xingtian Tomb, and Dian King Tomb.

In addition to the tomb of the King of Dian not to mention, the above tombs, no matter which one they are, have irreplaceable significance in people's hearts, even if they are poor and crazy, including the Donglin thieves and the like, they will never fight the idea of these ancient tombs, but Liu Bowen, who has always been far-sighted, has done this kind of thing that people and gods are angry about, which is really unbelievable.
