Chapter 43: Spirit Mountain

At the top of the giant tree, there was a golden bird. It seems to be-for-tat with the giant snake.

Incomparably magnificent murals, tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide. In the middle of the mountain, two huge "Lingshan" characters are carved with Qin Xiao Seal. After observing such a large mural, I also looked at it for more than 20 minutes. After reading it, everyone was thoughtful.

Dozens of seconds later, Ling Xiaozi raised his head and sighed: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"I have some impressions." Jiang Xian frowned and said, "Have you heard of it...... Is it an immortal elixir? ”

"Elixir of immortality?" Hong Siniang's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean Emperor Qin's immortal medicine?" ”

Jiang Xian seemed to have cleared his thoughts, raised his head, and said solemnly: "No...... In fact, there are five kinds of words for immortal medicine in ancient books. The peach of the Queen Mother, the ginseng fruit of the Yuanzi Wuzhuang Temple of Dixian Town, the immortal medicine of the Queen Mother of the West, the Qiongsang of the Ten Thousand Years Divine Fruit, and the ......"

He looked at the mural: "The elixir of immortality in the painting - how." ”

"It is recorded in the Divine Sutra that there is a tree in the great wilderness of the south, and its name is 'how'. Three hundred years old one flower, three hundred years old one fruit. The flowers are red and the fruits are yellow. The tree is ten zhang high, and even a leaf must be more than one zhang long and two feet wide. How the fruit has a core and looks like a jujube. If you cut it with a golden knife, it will have a sour taste, and if you cut it with an ased knife, it will become spicy. If you eat it, you will become an earth immortal, not afraid of water and fire, nor afraid of swords. ”

"But...... What does this have to do with Lingshan? How this tree is supposed to be, it doesn't have any giant snakes and yellow birds at all......"

As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned and rushed towards the next mural.

Everyone followed. In the light of the flashlight, the appearance of the next mural is quickly revealed.

It was still a worship pattern, about the same size as the previous one. But in this pattern, there are ten people worshipping below.

The ten men were of different appearances, some wearing masks, some with snake faces, some with wings on their backs, and some standing without heads...... There are all kinds of strange appearances.

They reverently knelt on the ground, their hands raised above their heads. Each person is holding a clay pot. And above them, there are vast mountains.

Endless mountain peaks, and one of them is particularly tall. The picture of ten people worshipping the mountains occupies only half of the pattern. And the remaining half is the unusually tall mountain! All the way from the mountains to the top of the pattern!

Around it, there are clouds and lightning, and you can see some people flying faintly in the sky. Thick plant roots hang down from the clouds. Seems...... It's the same underground.

"That's right...... That's right......" Jiang Xian's eyes burned and gently touched the wall. Suddenly turned around and said, "Quick! Everybody help me take a look! Team of two! ”

Hong Siniang blinked: "Look...... The content of the relief? ”

"Yes!" Jiang Xian's chest rose and fell slightly, and he said categorically: "Find these pictures: Chang'e runs to the moon, Hou Yi shoots the sun, and is born on the tenth day!" Also, see if there is a relief of Emperor Jun! ”

Hong Siniang and the eight-armed Arhat left immediately. And Jiang Xian and Ling Xiaozi quickly ran past this relief, and then rushed to the next relief.

The room is a thousand meters, counting from the entrance, five hundred on the left and right. A relief mural of two hundred and fifty meters. The two walked by, and they had gone from the "long" to the "wide" of the main hall, and the "wide" place also had reliefs, but only a hundred meters in size.

The pattern of this one is a wave-like mountain below. And one of the mountains goes straight to the top, and the peak is so large that it occupies almost all the pictures. Moreover, a splendid palace complex is carved on the peak.

"It's ...... What do you mean by being an immortal? Ling Xiaozi was puzzled and said: "Describe a certain mountain, where immortals live?" ”

Jiang Xian did not answer him. A flashlight shone into the palace complex. The two of them were shocked to find that there was a person there.

He is at the center of the whole picture, and there is no doubt that the whole relief is built with him as the center. He is the soul at the heart of this picture.

It was a man in period costume, but ...... His ancient costume, but not men's clothing.

"Women's clothing?" Ling Xiaozi narrowed his eyes, and then simply took out his binoculars and looked up. At a glance, his pupils shrank violently.

That's not people.

It was a monster with a leopard's head, loose hair, and a human body.

In his dense hair, there are decorations one by one, and it is not like decoration. Instead...... More like some skewers, knives, shackles and the like...... Instruments of torture.

"It's ...... Is this the Queen Mother of the West? He whispered.

Its shape is like a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger teeth and a good roar, and its hair is unkempt...... Dai Qiang, mostly refers to torture instruments.

Taoists are too familiar with the Queen Mother of the West...... But he couldn't figure out why the building of Qin Shi Huang would have the Queen Mother of the West. But in the next second, a word pierced his mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, making him shake all over.

Elixir of immortality!

The Queen Mother of the West...... Qin Emperor Immortal Elixir...... These two words were instantly linked, and he was about to continue reading, but Jiang Xian pulled the other party away.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a full hour, everyone gathered in front of the bell again, and Hong Siniang nodded towards Jiang Xian: "You guessed right, Di Jun, Hou Yi shoots the sun, Chang'e runs to the moon, these pictures are all there." I'm curious, how did you guess? ”

Jiang Xian took a deep breath, didn't sell it, and said directly: "What is connected together is the immortal medicine!" ”

"As I just said, there were five kinds of immortal medicine recorded in ancient times, and the He Fruit was one of them. But how the tree should grow on top of the spiritual mountain. He raised his chin in the direction of the map, his eyes burning: "And I'm afraid you don't know, Lingshan...... It's not a virtual location. ”

"It is real and has a place in history, and that is - Wushan!"

The eight-armed Arhat was stunned and said, "Wushan? Yujiang City? Three gorges? ”

"That's it!" Jiang Xian turned around and took out a map of the Qin Dynasty from his backpack - this was prepared a long time ago after knowing the situation below, and directly pointed at the location of the Three Gorges: "Nanjun." This is where Wushan is located. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Great Wilderness South Classic records that there are yellow birds on Wushan. This is the royal garden that supplies the Emperor of Heaven to collect and refine medicines. The Yellow Bird is in Wushan, just to control the Xuan Snake here, so as not to prevent them from stealing the immortal elixir. ”

Everyone nodded in understanding, the giant serpent, the yellow bird...... Everything was explained clearly.

"But how could there be a Queen Mother of the West?" Ling Xiaozi was puzzled: "The Queen Mother of the West is not in Wushan, the Queen Mother of the West is in Kunlun Mountain." It's 108,000 miles away from Wushan. ”

"There's no hurry." Jiang Xian shook his head and smiled: "In the myth, when Emperor Yao, the son of Zhongshan God, Qiqi was murdered to death by his own subordinates, in order to appease Zhongshan God and resurrect Qiqi, Emperor Yao ordered Lingshan Ten Witches to use immortal medicine to revive him. So, Lingshan ...... No, the Ten Witches of Wushan, at least in mythology, are sure to have an elixir of immortality. ”

He smiled and licked his lips, repeating, "Ten Witches." ”

Ling Xiaozi Kazlan's big eyes blinked a few times, and he stood up abruptly and looked at the second picture.

The picture of ten monsters holding up clay pots and offering sacrifices towards the mountains.

"That's ......"

"That's the Ten Witches of Lingshan." Jiang Xian definitely had to say: "And the place where they worship is Kunlun Mountain!" ”

Ling Xiaozi slapped his forehead suddenly: "I remembered!" ”

He shook his head fiercely and said solemnly: "Legend has it that the Ten Witches of Lingshan will regularly pay tribute to the Queen Mother of the West. So...... Chang'e's immortal elixir is actually the 'how' fruit that she got from the hands of the Ten Witches of Lingshan! It is also the legendary immortal elixir that resurrects the rampant! ”

The eight-armed arhat nodded suddenly in realization: "That's why there will be Hou Yi shooting the sun and Chang'e running to the moon...... But what does this have to do with Qin Shi Huang? ”

Jiang Xian raised his head to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "Since this way, I initially thought that this was the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, and I was sure step by step, but before I arrived, it was overturned, and the option of a warehouse appeared. But...... What if this is the hiding place of the elixir? ”

In a word, as if a thunderbolt crossed the sky, the corners of Hong Siniang's eyes twitched fiercely, and she looked at Jiang Xian like a ghost: "Immortal medicine? Are you sure you're not kidding? ”

"Perhaps...... And not exactly a joke. It was not Jiang Xian who spoke, but Ling Xiaozi, who stared at the surroundings, as if he wanted to penetrate the mural and see what was behind inch by inch: "First of all, you have to know that the ancient point of view: major events in the world, only Rong and sacrifice." This is the Zhou rite, and the Qin Dynasty, as the first unified dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty, inherited the Zhou rite. In this kind of place, which has been raised to the level of major events in the world, there will never be anything extraneous. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at the altar of the white jade bell, and Ling Xiaozi continued: "As the most central existence, everything around the altar must serve the sacrifice. Either to tell its history, or to praise its owner. Ladies and gentlemen......"

He said categorically, "The elixir of immortality will never appear unrelated, including the black death butterfly on the clock face. It's just that we don't understand their connection yet. ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and after a few minutes, Jiang Xian said quietly: "Maybe we can open our brains a little bigger." ”

"The cause of death in the history of Qin Shi Huang is unknown, and the cause of death is 'violent death', could it be because ...... Black Death Butterfly Curse? So you need immortal medicine to treat you? ”

Before the words fell, Ling Xiaozi rolled his eyes elegantly: "The surname Jiang, can you be a little forced?" Throughout the history books, there has never been a black death butterfly, and you have won this award in one vein. Qin Shi Huang is going to be haunted by this curse, isn't he your ancestor? ”

Jiang Xian cheekily insisted: "It's not impossible...... Ying Zheng is also surnamed Zhao...... There are also some scientific bases for Lan Shanhai's previous surname Ying......"

"Yo? What about putting gold on your face? Is the porcelain of 2,000 years ago sour or not? "How can the matter of a scholar be called touching porcelain? Be careful with your words. ”

"Everyone." Hong Siniang looked at the two of them coldly, raised her orchid finger and lit a cigarette, spit out the smoke and said, "I have to remind you that the three words of immortal medicine are focused on Xu Fu." This records the origin of the immortal medicine, which shows that Qin Shi Huang knew the immortal medicine of the Queen Mother of Kunlun Shanxi, but why...... He finally let Xu Fu go to sea to find immortals? ”

One east and one west, in exactly opposite directions.
