Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Legend of the Mourning Prison
As soon as Yudong finished saying this, everyone was stunned on the spot! Don't...... This is the true identity behind the Hundred Devil Demon Lord?
But whether it is the Ailao Kingdom or the Nanzhao Kingdom, it is a mysterious ancient country that has long disappeared. There is only one illusory name left in history, and most of the relevant records are also full of legends that seem to be true and illusory. The Demon Lord could have something to do with these two ancient kingdoms?!
No one spoke, and there was silence all around.
Except for the gurgling water and the gentle breeze on the top of the mountain, it seems that only the sound of falling flowers remains.
After a while, the Demon Lord finally raised his head and smiled: "Hahaha, no wonder you dare to break into the Nine Heavens, it is really extraordinary." If it weren't for your companions, I don't think it would be a problem at all to break into the Seventh Heaven with your ability. This statement of the Demon Lord seems to have nothing to do with what Yu Dong said before, but it seems to be secretly confirming Yu Dong's guess. The meaning of the words is obscure.
The Chinese language is so broad and profound. Because of the repression, it is impossible to speak freely, so insinuations and roundabouts are extremely important. What similes, metaphors, borrowings, puns, these do not need to be taught, the Chinese themselves will.
Therefore, the Demon Lord's seemingly unanswered sentence was actually an admission of Yu Dong's inference just now. Other words...... He turned out to be really a descendant of the ancient kingdom of Ailao and a descendant of the wizards of the Nanzhao Kingdom.
No wonder...... No wonder he is so powerful and mystical! It turns out that he has such a deep background!
It seemed that Yu Dong's answer was very satisfying, he closed his eyes again, and asked faintly, "There are very few people who have seen me, and even fewer people know the background. Where did you guess? ”
Yu Dong pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Isn't the wind and snow moon on your Lethe River the best proof of the depth of your relationship with Nanzhao Dali?" Also, isn't the statue sunk at the bottom of Miaozhai Lake a symbol of the legend of Jiulong in Yunnan? ”
The Demon Lord closed his eyes and smiled, still silent. It seems that he is waiting for Yu Dong to continue. And Qin Zhen finally remembered that he was dragged down to the bottom of the lake by Yudong that day, and he almost didn't become a water ghost. At that time, Yudong seemed to be very concerned about the dragon statue under the water, and was about to tell Qin Zhen about his heavy discovery, but was interrupted by Lao Gu's arrival.
Could it be that the statue also played a role in the intricate historical background of Yudong's inference of the Demon Lord?
After that, Yu Dong narrated a historical myth that seemed to be a world away. Yes, it is both true history and mythology. Just like the Hundred Devils and Demon Lords standing in front of him. is not only a real, living person, but also with a demonic aura that is not like a mortal. I don't know if this is the unique temperament of the legendary Great Witch.
The first thing Yuto said was the statue at the bottom of the lake. When Qin Zhen and he were observing underwater that day, because it was covered with aquatic plants and sediments, he couldn't see its true face at all. Only the carved traces of the dragon's head and dragon scales can be faintly seen.
Referring to that statue, Yu Dong said that in a certain area of today's Yunnan, there is also a sculpture of the Nine Dragons, which is a representative building in the local area. That sculpture is very similar to the sculpture at the bottom of Miaozhai Lake, so Yudong will connect the two together at that time.
And about the Nine Dragons sculpture, there is a very old mythical story. And this mythical story tells the origin of the ancestor of Nanzhao--- Ailao Kingdom.
This Jiulong myth is recorded in historical books such as "The Legend of Wailao" and "Book of the Later Han". This is an extremely ancient myth in Yunnan, and it is also the founding legend of the Ailao Kingdom, the Nanzhao Kingdom, and even the Dali Kingdom.
As in all ancient myths, a woman conceives in contact with a fetish totem. is like Emperor Fuxi, he is the god of the desolation who is conceived by the footprints of the god of thunder by Hua Xu.
Legend has it that there was a beautiful woman named Sha Yi at the foot of Ailao Mountain. One day, while she was fishing in the water, she accidentally touched a piece of sunken wood, and she immediately felt pregnant.
Pregnant in October, Sha Yi gave birth to ten sons. But this sinking wood didn't do anything like Thor. But not long after the birth of these ten children, the body of a true dragon appeared and came out of the water. Then he raised his head and asked Shayi, "What about the son you gave birth to me?"
If the girls heard this, it is estimated that they would have died with this old dragon a long time ago! But Sha Yi didn't. All nine of her sons were scared away by the dragon in front of them, but the youngest could not walk while sitting. The old dragon licked his back affectionately, which was regarded as a recognition. Shayi's language called the back as nine, and the sitting as long, so he named the little son Jiulong.
Although the story of this sunken wood dragon is full of supernatural colors, the youngest son Jiulong has written a true historical legend.
When Jiulong grew up, he was very talented as a commander and was good at commanding troops. As a result, his clansmen and brothers unanimously elected him as the king--- that is, the first monarch of the Ailao Kingdom.
It was this youngest son Jiulong who not only founded the centuries-old ancient country of Ailao in the place where the Nu River and the Lancang River flow together, but also created the ancient and mysterious Ailao culture.
The history of the Ailao Kingdom is very long, and it is said that in its heyday, the territory area could reach 3,000 li from east to west and 4,600 li from north to south. That is, it starts from the Ailao Mountains in the east, reaches the Minjin Mountain in northern Myanmar in the west, reaches the southern border of Xishuangbanna in the south, and reaches the southern foot of the Himalayas in the north. Today's China is only 9.6 million square kilometers, which shows the breadth of the territory of the Ailao country at that time.
And the most amazing thing is that the rise and fall of Ailao, like Loulan, is related to the Han Dynasty. I wonder if it's true just for a coincidence?
After the disappearance of the Ailao Kingdom, just like Loulan, it also withdrew from the stage of history along with its qiē. It wasn't until Meng Shelong, the ancestor leader of the Nanzhao Kingdom, came to the shore of Cangshan Erhai Lake and called himself the descendant of the Ailao Kingdom, which allowed the word Ailao to see the light of day again.
According to Meng Shelong, he fled to the Evil Dragon River to escape the fighting. I plan to rest and recuperate, and slowly accumulate strength, so that one day I can become strong again and regain the glory of the old days.
However, it is estimated that this Meng Shelong probably never thought that it was his escape from the war that made his descendants defeat the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than a hundred years later and become the king of a powerful country dominating the southwest in one fell swoop!
The dispute between Nanzhao and Datang does not need to be repeated. But this is the relationship between Nanzhao and Ailao. It is also the initial origin of the myth of Nanzhao, Ailao and Jiulong.
This is why Yudong concluded that the Demon Lord was involved in these two ancient kingdoms because of the Nine Dragons sculpture at the bottom of the lake.
The Nanzhao Kingdom, which had defeated the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Tianbao and unified Yunnan, was set up in Dali. So today, when people walk in the ancient city of Dali, they can still feel the shadow of the Nanzhao in the past. This is probably the reason why the Demon Lord loves Dali's mountains, rivers, grass and scenery so much, and even does not hesitate to move Dali's wind and snow to this deep mountain in Lethe!
Witchcraft was prevalent in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the status of the sorcerer in the country was equal to that of the national teacher. Almost on an equal footing with the king. If the Demon Lord really has such a background, then it is not surprising that his witchcraft is so powerful.
After a long historical myth was narrated, the Demon Lord slowly opened his eyes. It's like a glance of ten thousand years, and with Yudong's words, it was like returning to that era. The Demon Lord at this moment is not at all like his appearance and age.
I heard him sigh and say, "It's been a long time since anyone told me about that past." If it weren't for today/You brought it up, I'm afraid I'd have forgotten about it...... Although you are not a citizen of Nanzhao, but for the sake of your familiarity with Nanzhao, I will be regarded as a citizen of Fuze. Come, come with me. With that, the Demon Lord walked towards a winding path in the Shangguan Flower Forest.
Qin Zhen and the others were overjoyed and at the same time deeply surprised!! I thought that it would be difficult for them to meet the Demon Lord, and it must be even more difficult to ask the Demon Lord for help! But I didn't expect that Yudong used a historical story to win the heart of the Demon King! He agreed to help them!
Lao Gu was about to burst into tears of laughter at this moment, because this not only meant that they were saved, but also that Lan Qing would be saved, as well as Juntian, who helped with his life...... This Nine Dragons curse involves too many human lives.
It can be seen from his expression that while Lao Gu worships Yudong like a god, it seems that his impression of the Demon Lord has also changed. At least, now he doesn't look like he's ready to rebel.
And after being careful, his words began to increase again. At this time, while following the Demon Lord and Yu Dong to the depths of the flower forest, he muttered to Qin Zhen in a low voice, "Da Zhen, do you see it?" It's still useful! A historical story saved our lives! Why do you think we are so godly? Knowing astronomy and geography, in the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years, there is nothing he doesn't know......"
After hearing this, Qin Zhen snorted coldly and said, "He/his mother is so knowledgeable, I don't think he's a person at all!" ”
