We took a boat to the "Ten Thousand Poison Mountain" to find the tomb of the King of Dian King, but unexpectedly encountered a giant crocodile attack on the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAfter a life-and-death battle, the giant crocodile was finally killed by Wu Jian with bone-eroding water, but our fishing boat was reimbursed for it. Then we came across an ancient warship, suspected to be a legendary ghost ship.

With curiosity, we boarded the ancient warship, and found a holy decree in the cabin, only to know that this warship was a product of the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also discovered the secret of the Dian king's immortality, which coincided with the news obtained above, the Dian king did have a strange art, which could make him live a long life and live to more than two hundred years old.

In addition to a holy decree, we also found a noteworthy bamboo slip similar to a logbook in the cabin, which mentioned some information about the warship. In order to understand the secret of the warship, Biaozi carefully studied the contents of the bamboo slips, but due to the profundity of the ancient characters, Biaozi studied for more than three hours, and did not study all the bamboo slips thoroughly.

After about an hour, Biaozi finally finished reading the last bamboo slip, which seemed to be organizing the language, and after a long time, he said to us: "The content on the bamboo slip was written by Zhang Jia himself, and it recorded the ins and outs of his envoy to the ancient Dian Kingdom, and it was not until the accident of this warship that the record ended." The above is very extensive, and I will give you an outline. ”

In the fourth year of Zhenghe, shortly after the end of the witch curse, Emperor Wu of Han, who lost his wife and children, was disheartened, and at this time, he received a secret report from his spies that the king of Dian had died, and his son had no successor. Originally, this was a very common thing, and Emperor Wu of Han didn't take it to heart, but what was said in the secret report next made Emperor Wu of Han completely surprised and excited.

At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's conquest of the Dian Kingdom, out of various concerns, the imperial court secretly sent ten spies to infiltrate the Dian court to monitor the Dian King's every move to prevent him from rebelling again. Over the course of several years, two of the ten spies managed to infiltrate the eldest son of the King of Dian and began a long period of infiltration, regularly transmitting useful information back to the Han Dynasty.

However, when the Dian King Weiqiang died, one of the spies participated in the sacrifice ceremony of the Dian King because of his deep trust, but he discovered a shocking secret.

The sacrifice was held in an ancestral temple, and the people who participated in the sacrifice were all descendants of the Dian king Weiqiang except for the sorcerer, and this secret agent was an exception, for no other reason, the identity of the secret agent was a ceremonial officer, and it was also the only ceremonial official used in the sacrifice.

However, what the secret agent didn't expect was that in the ancestral temple, including the new Dian King Weiwu, there were more than 300 people, and all of them were descendants of the former king Weiqiang. As for the heirs of the former king Weiqiang, the secret agent only knew that he had three sons and eleven grandchildren, and as for the great-grandson, he had not yet investigated the specific number.

The secret agent is very strange, there are only eleven grandchildren of the first king and Qiang, even if each of them has ten children, then after all, the great-grandchildren are only one hundred and ten, but there are now more than three hundred people in the square, how can this be explained? Could it be that his own estimation is wrong, the eleven grandchildren of the king of Dian have more than 20 children each? That's too much, isn't it?

Puzzled, the agent and the wizard began the work of the sacrifice. The process of the ritual is complex, but it is generally divided into three steps. First, the sorcerer tried the Qiang practice for the deceased King of Dian and connected his spiritual tablet into the ancestral temple. Second, after the spiritual throne of the former king was invited into the ancestral temple, the new king of Dian did not announce the succession to comfort the ancestors. Third, the descendants enter the ancestral temple in batches to worship their ancestors and the deceased king.

It took half a day for the spirit seat of the first king to finally be invited into the ancestral temple, but what the secret agent didn't expect was that in the huge ancestral temple, in addition to a stone sculpture and a stone tablet in the innermost part of the room, there were only six spirit tablets.

The stone sculpture is three feet high, almost close to the dome of the ancestral temple. The owner of the statue is a mighty man with armor, an axe in his left hand, a whip in his right, and a black steed under him.

The secret agent knows the history of the Dian Kingdom, and naturally knows this person, his name is Zhuang Ji, in fact, he is not the aboriginal near the Dianchi Lake, but the general of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Below Zhuang Ji's statue is the stone stele, which records the establishment of the Dian Kingdom by Zhuang Ji.

During the reign of King Xiang of Chu, Zhuang Ji, the general of Chu, was ordered to lead his army along the Yangtze River to the west, conquering parts of present-day Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province all the way, and fought until the Dianchi Lake area of present-day Yunnan Province, and positioned the place near Dianchi Lake as the boundary of Chu. Just when Zhuang Ji was about to return to the country to report to the king of Chu, it happened that the Qin army invaded Ba and Qianzhong counties, and the road back to China was blocked by the Qin army, so Zhuang Ji supported the army to establish himself as the king in the Dianchi area and established the Dian Kingdom.

Zhuang Ji's spiritual position card is placed in the first place on the ancestral temple altar, and there are five spiritual position cards under it, which are placed there in order, and they are all the spiritual positions of the Dian kings of the past dynasties. And now the spirit card of the king of Dian is about to be put up.

Looking at the spirit card of the Zhuang family, the secret agent felt that this was an irony, because he knew very well that during the period when Zhuang Cheng, the sixth king of the ancient Dian Kingdom, was in charge of the government, because of his absurdity and tyranny, he made the heavens angry and resentful, and as the high priest at that time, he took the opportunity to revolt, overthrew the Zhuang dynasty, and replaced the throne of the king of Dian himself, which established the Wei dynasty.

After the tablet was put up, the wizard brought the ritual text for him, the ceremonial officer, to read it, but when the secret agent read the ritual text, he was almost so shocked that his tongue was knotted, because the background of the taste of Qiang was so strange that he could hardly accept this reality.

According to the sacrificial text, Taste Qiang is the half-brother of Zhuang Ji, and was born of adultery between his mother and the sorcerer in the clan. When Zhuang Ji's father learned about this, he was furious and killed his mother and the sorcerer, and because he didn't look like a human, he demoted the infant Qiang to a subordinate and changed his surname to a person. And the taste name is the surname of the mother of the taste of Qiang.

After the death of Zhuang Ji's father, Zhuang Ji took his place, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time. Because he was born to the same mother, Zhuang Ji put the taste of Qiang by his side to support him and became his right-hand man. When Zhuang Ji established the Dian Kingdom, because of the taste of Qiang Witchcraft, he was posthumously named the high priest of the Dian Kingdom, and he was the first person worthy of the name of the monarch.

He was more than 20 years younger than Zhuang Ji, so after Zhuang Ji's death, he was only over thirty years old, which was the prime of life, so he continued to be the high priest next to the second generation of King Dian. It was not until after the rebellion of the sixth generation of the Dian King that the identity of the high priest of Taste Qiang changed and he became the seventh monarch of the Dian Kingdom, and at that time, the life expectancy of Taste Qiang was nearly two hundred years old.

When he died, he lived two hundred and twenty-one years, and there were three sons, fifteen grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren, seventy-six great-great-grandsons, one hundred and fifty-six grandsons, and thirty-eight grandsons, making a total of three hundred and thirteen people.

Seeing this, the secret agent's surprise was beyond the limit, and he finally understood why there were so many descendants of the Taste Clan outside the ancestral hall, it was all because of this. However, what he couldn't understand was that he had been lurking in the Dian Kingdom for more than ten years, why no one had mentioned the matter of tasting Qiang's longevity? And what's even more weird is that it's not just Yuqiang who is immortal, it seems that the people of the entire Wei family have a terrifying high lifespan. Otherwise, today's ceremony will not be possible for six generations to be in the same house.

Looking at the new King of Dian who was worshipping next to him, the secret agent was covered in a cold sweat, because he knew that the person in front of him was at least one hundred and fifty years old, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was an old monster. However, at the same time, the spy thought of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's search for the elixir of life, and he thought that this was an opportunity for him to be promoted and make a fortune, so after the sacrifice ceremony, he passed the secret of the family's immortality back to the Han Dynasty.

At this point, he let out a heavy breath and said to us, "This is how things began. It is estimated that this discovery of ours will change a large part of the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom. But what happened next was even more surprising, and the content in it not only mentioned the reason why the warship appeared here, but also the reason why the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared. ”

After receiving the letter from the secret agent, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only felt that he was in good spirits, and he couldn't wait to order his most trusted guard, Zhang Jia, to lead 3,000 men and horses to Dian to find out the matter. If this is the case, the king of Dian must be allowed to give up the secret method of immortality, and if necessary, he can use force.

Zhang Jia did not dare to slack off, and on the second day, he led 3,000 soldiers to the Dian Kingdom. When I arrived in the Dian Kingdom, it was already three days later. In order not to alarm the King of Dian, Zhang Jia only brought a hundred people into the city, and the rest of the horses were all left in the dense forest outside the city and hidden.

Knowing that the envoy of the Han Dynasty was coming, the king of Dian tried nothing to show his sincerity, and personally went to the city gate to greet him, and then he put on a feast to entertain him. After the banquet, the king of Dian prepared countless gold, silver and beauties and sent them to Zhang Jia's residence to show his respect for the envoys of the Han Dynasty.

After staying in the palace for three days, the person waiting for Zhang Jia and others finally came over, that is, the secret agent. After careful interrogation and confirmation that the other party's words were not false at all, Zhang Jia decided to try the tone of the King of Dian on the second day to see how the other party reacted.

At the banquet the next day, Zhang Jia pretended to be drunk, and suddenly asked with a smile: "I heard that the first king has the art of immortality, so the taste clan has the ability to live forever, dare to ask the king of Dian, is this matter true or false?" ”

The King of Dian immediately changed his complexion, and his whole body trembled involuntarily, but then he quickly covered up the past, and replied pretending to be surprised: "I don't know where the messenger heard the news, this matter is too ridiculous. ”

Zhang Jia laughed: "This matter was naturally spread by the people of the taste clan, and it was known to our emperor, so my emperor sent me to ask for this art of immortality, and asked the king of Dian not to refuse." (To be continued.) )
