31. Immortality?

"King Luo Dian is a prophet, he can predict the future, if he won't succeed, what will he do with these nonsense and useless things......" I only heard these few words, and I couldn't help but stir up, my brain was buzzing, yes, how did I forget the identity of King Luo Dian as a prophet for half a day?

Everyone was stunned for a while. All the previous reasoning about King Luo Dian regarding this place as a field of immortality suddenly turned around because of the discovery of the big head's flash of inspiration, and from the perspective that King Luo Dian was a prophet, those superstitions that originally seemed to be just ghosts and gods and could not seek immortality seemed to become possible in an instant.

My eyes were fixed on the direction of the tomb door pointed by Lao Wu, and I suddenly felt a horror in my heart that I had never experienced before, and I couldn't help but shudder a few times, there are no unexplained spirits in this tomb for the time being, and there are no visible demons and monsters, but if the back of the tomb door leads to the tomb of the king of Luodian, when a few of us go in and open the coffin, will there be a living person who has been dead for more than 1,600 years lying inside...... Or a dead man who has lived for more than 1,600 years? This is the ultimate secret of King Luo Dian? Is he a human or a demon?

The first to question it was Lao Wu, who said in an unusually firm tone: "No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for the Ten Thousand Corpses Pagoda and the Star to continue their lives, including the one qiē in the earliest urn burial chamber, whether it is the rumored golden snake Gu that can gather souls to resurrect, or the golden jade clothes that raise corpses with jade, I have seen a lot of these, all of them are the delusions of the owners of the tombs of those powerful and nobles." ”

Chen Blind didn't say a word, Zhang Xuan half-tilted his head and rubbed his chin with his hand with a thoughtful expression, this is an inextricable contradiction, from two different perspectives, the logic of Datou and Lao Wu makes sense, King Luo Dian as a prophet is impossible to be targeted, and he calmed down his mind to ponder, and those strange things are really unbelievable.

The atmosphere became solemn for a while, and everyone fell into deep thought and remained silent. After a while, Zhang Xuan, who had been looking at the layers of ancient corpses on his head, muttered softly: "If the Ten Thousand Corpses Tower in the cult can bring resurrection to King Luodian, then the first few urn burials, as well as the later Star Method, are all in vain. ”

Hearing Zhang Xuan say this, my heart moved, and suddenly I thought that there was really a big problem here, even if there was any way to make King Luo Dian's dream of immortality come true, he could predict that the future would not have to try at all, just use the most effective method, so why did King Luo Dian make a bunch of useless real things?

Chen Blind coughed twice, his brows tightened and shook his head lightly, he had robbed countless tombs in his life, and his knowledge was no worse than Lao Wu, and he said in a low voice: "Those who do my business don't believe in ghosts and gods, otherwise there is no need to go down the ground, if you want to say these arrangements of King Luo Dian, there is another possibility, I don't know if you think of it?" ”

The current situation is unexpected, the eldest and I, two people in their twenties, are skeptical of King Luo Dian's use of the Ten Thousand Corpses Pagoda to pray for immortality, but Lao Wu and Chen Blind, the two oldest, do not believe in evil at all. Blind Chen continued to say to himself: "This conversation is getting longer and longer, at this time, none of us can be in a hurry, find a place to sit down first, think about it slowly, and talk about the rest." ”

Everyone looked for half a circle, and saw that only the place near the stone gate was still clean and clean, and hurriedly walked over with Chen Blind, and asked him to sit against a recess of the uneven stone wall, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and several people were so hungry that they panicked, and they just sat around to eat something.

Chen Blind was in his sixties, and he was tired from a high place in the past half a day, his face was a little pale, and he sat down and breathed evenly before saying, "Could this be that King Luo Dian is playing tricks?" ”

Before I could begin to ponder what the blind man Chen was saying, I heard Zhang Xuan ask anxiously, "What do you say?" ”

Blind Chen hesitated for a moment, it seemed that he didn't have too much confidence in his own thoughts, and said slowly: "The so-called Ming Xiu Plank Road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, since these immortal methods are impossible to use, King Luo Dian must also understand if he can predict the future, so he can only explain that there is another purpose." For example...... In addition to showing off his power to take the lives of others, these miraculous things were arranged in those days, and the people would also be convinced that he had the power of gods and ghosts. ”

I secretly thought that Chen Blind's words made sense, in order to consolidate his position, the king of a country often took the road of integration of politics and religion, pretended himself as a god who was different from ordinary people, and used the idea of divine authority of the monarch to control the people, so he said: "It is possible that King Luodian was regarded as a god by the Miao people, and it still has influence to this day. His only purpose in doing this was probably to deify himself and make the Miao people at that time believe that he was immortal. ”

Zhang Xuan's expression on the side began to be a little relaxed, and he nodded, "One of the most widely spread legends about King Luo Dian by the Miao people near Niuerling is that he died without a trace, and some Miao people still believe that King Luo Dian will be resurrected to this day, which is also the reason why the location of King Luo Dian's tomb is basically impossible to find clues when preparing before departure." More than a thousand years later, the obviously deified theory of the immortality of King Luodian can still be believed by those Miao people, which seems to be related to his practices back then. ”

At this point, the answer seems to be coming out, King Luo Dian has spent so much effort to create such a myth of his immortality that has been passed down through the ages, which is undoubtedly beneficial to his rule, but is it all? I opened my mouth and didn't speak, and said in my heart that King Luo Dian was a prophet, he was different from those kings who were really superstitious about immortality, he knew that he would definitely die, but he didn't care about the collapse of the dynasty he created behind him, but intentionally or unintentionally left such a legend of immortality, what kind of conspiracy is contained here?

I looked at the two ordinary stone doors in front of me, which were simple and not tall, and a sense of unreal confusion hit me in my mind, the former King of Zhou Yuan and Genghis Khan left us with an unexpected "surprise" before, what did King Luo Dian have in mind?

After a while, Chen Blind suddenly whispered to Lao Wu to discuss the Ten Thousand Corpses Tower, people are old and children, from calm to slowly disputed, I only heard Chen Blind quite unconvinced voice gradually louder, "I don't know if this is a cult from Nanyang, but China has never found such a tower of ten thousand corpses in ancient tombs, although I can't see it, when I went to Guangdong Taobao, I had a similar form of this kind of burial tomb, the scale is naturally not so large, But the corpses are also hung and stacked down layer by layer around the passage from top to bottom, and the main burial chamber is at the bottom, which is called the 'corpse building' by local counterparts. ”

I stood up suddenly, not caring if it was too abrupt to interrupt the two old men, and said loudly: "Old man Chen...... What did you just say this is? ”

Blind Chen was frightened by my reaction, but he still said casually, "Corpse building, what's wrong?" ”

This time I listened very clearly, and then repeated the phrase "corpse building", and my mind went blank for a moment, and I felt that the world was spinning around, and I sat on the ground with my ass.
