Chapter 218: What's in the Coffin
"Dead?"
Wang Cheng couldn't believe it, this Zhaode, who was even more powerful than Qinglong, died like this?
The woman in black did not speak, she walked to the coffin again, and bowed to the coffin three times and nine times.
At this time, Wang Cheng ran forward very sensibly and took down the bronze tripod one step ahead of her.
The woman in black didn't say anything after she got up, and her eyes finally moved to the inside of the coffin.
Through the broken part, the general situation in the coffin came into view.
The woman in black looked inside the coffin, showing neither fear nor shock, but breathed a meaningful sigh of relief.
Wang Cheng felt strange, and also stretched out his head to look inside, and his expression suddenly froze.
"Why nothing?!"
Wang Cheng was surprised, and glanced at the inside of the coffin with his perspective eye.
There was almost nothing in the inner coffin that was supposed to hold the body, it was empty.
Wang Cheng looked at the woman in black, and the woman in black said, "It seems that he has really come that far!" ”
"You mean, Zhao Gong really broke through to the Martial Saint Realm?" Wang Cheng blurted out.
"It must be so!"
The woman in black nodded and sighed: "The first saint of a thousand years is no longer just the honorific title of the world for him, he has really done it, and he is worthy of his name." ”
Wang Cheng was shocked at first, and then said happily: "It turns out that there really is a martial saint in this world. ”
"There really is a Martial Saint! There really is! ”
He was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he had never been, almost dancing with his hands.
Seeing that Wang Cheng was like crazy, the woman in black said strangely: "You seem to be surprised? ”
"You don't understand!" Wang Cheng shook his head.
No one can understand his mood at the moment, since the legendary martial saint powerhouse exists, the martial god must also exist, and the stronger immortal must also exist!
What is he practicing martial arts for?
Isn't it just to become an immortal?
To find your way home!
The woman in black didn't know what Wang Cheng was thinking, and said calmly: "Do you think that the Martial Saint and the Martial God powerhouse are just made up casually?" ”
Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't speak, she knew that she was right, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that your master has never discussed this world with you?" ”
Wang Cheng shook his head, he only knew that he was currently in the thousand-year-old dynasty - the Great Zhou, and there were also Lu States, Zheng States, and Mengwu States around the Great Zhou, outside of these countries, he was not clear.
However, he also knew that there must be other areas of human existence beyond this land.
"The boundary where the Great Zhou, Mengwu, Lu and Zheng are located is called the Western Corner Continent, and the northernmost part of the West Corner Continent is an ice field, inaccessible, called the Arctic Ice Field, and the West Corner Continent is separated by the West Sea in the east, and you can reach the Middle Earth Divine Continent across the West Sea, which is the center of this world!"
The woman in black looked at the void and said abruptly, "Compared to the endless prosperity of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, we are really too backward here. ”
It was the first time Wang Cheng knew this, and it turned out that what he had heard and seen could only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg.
The more he listened, the more he felt that he had come to this world for nothing in the past two years, no different from a frog at the bottom of a well.
According to the woman in black, the world they live in has four continents, four seas, and two plains.
The four continents are the West Corner Continent, the Middle Earth Continent, the South China Sea Continent, and the Eastern Regions Hanzhou, and the four seas are the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea, and the two plains are the Arctic Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
The West Corner Continent is the most desolate and backward continent among the four continents, and the Middle Earth Divine Continent is the continent with the most prosperous cultivation atmosphere, and it is also the most prosperous continent.
The four continents are separated by four seas and do not border each other, and there is an ice field in the far south and the far north, which is inaccessible but not inhabited.
The woman in black saw that Wang Chengcheng was extraordinary, and he must have come from a famous family, who would have thought that he didn't even know this most basic.
"So, Zhao Gong is the first person to break through the Martial Saint in the Western Corner Continent for a thousand years?" Wang Cheng said.
The woman in black said: "A thousand years ago, there is no way to verify whether there was a martial saint powerhouse here, but after a thousand years, there is indeed only one Zhaogong!" ”
"Are there many martial saint powerhouses in other continents?" Wang Cheng asked curiously.
"Many? What do you think of the Martial Saint powerhouse? Wild grass on the side of the road? ”
The woman in black almost laughed, and continued, "Even in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, which has the largest population and the most prosperous martial arts, only those holy lands have such powerhouses. ”
Wang Cheng thought about it, there were so many people in the entire Western Corner Continent, and only one person appeared in a thousand years, how could the Martial Saint Realm be so easy to break through?
He then asked the question he was most concerned about: "Does the girl know how to go to the Middle-earth Divine Continent?" ”
Since the chances of staying here to break through the Martial Saint are too slim, why not go directly to the Middle-earth Divine Continent?
The woman in black shook her head and said, "From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many strong people want to go to the Middle Earth Divine Continent, but none of them came back alive in the end, so no one knows how to go. ”
"Then how do you know that there are other human realms beyond the Western Corner Continent?" Wang Cheng was puzzled.
"We can't go there, but we can't stop others from coming here!" The woman in black said.
"Come here?" Wang Cheng was still puzzled.
"Otherwise, how can you think that a warrior would be born in a barbaric place in the Western Corner of the Continent?"
The woman in black glanced at Wang Cheng lightly, and continued: "Actually, those supreme forces today are more or less related to the Middle Earth Divine Continent. ”
Wang Cheng suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Outside the building? ”
"Not bad!"
The woman in black nodded and said, "The Heavenly Machine Mirror in the outer building is known as the most spiritual thing in the world, and few people in the rivers and lakes know its true origin, but it actually comes from a certain holy place in the Middle Earth Divine Continent. ”
She added: "Like the Netherworld Ancestor of the Three Corpses Sect, he is actually from a certain sect in the Middle Earth Divine Continent. ”
Wang Cheng was shocked when he heard this, he was very clear about the Three Corpses Sect, but he didn't know that the Yin Ancestor had such a big origin.
The next words of the woman in black shocked Wang Cheng's heart again.
"Today, if there is any force that is most deeply involved with the Middle Earth Divine Continent, it is the Great Zhou royal family!"
Seeing Wang Cheng's shocked face, she continued: "Everyone in the world knows that the founder of the Great Zhou is King Wu, a genius who was born out of thin air. ”
"Could it be that the Martial King is also from the Middle-earth Divine Continent?" Wang Cheng hurriedly asked.
The woman in black said: "King Wu is not from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, he is from another continent, the Eastern Regions Hanzhou, and he is the crown prince of an ancient kingdom. He didn't come here alone, he was joined by his courtiers, and their arrival not only brought martial arts inheritance to the Western Continent, but also civilization. Without him, the West Corner Continent would still be a wild place. ”
Wang Cheng has also heard of this, and the appearance of King Wu has brought the fire of civilization to this land.
Therefore, no matter how great Zhaogong's contribution to the Great Zhou is, it can't surpass the Martial King, and without the Martial King, everyone here is probably still living in the tribal era.
"How do you know so much? Who are you? Wang Cheng's eyes were fixed on the woman in black, he was so curious about a person's identity for the first time.
"Me?"
The woman in black looked at the void and sighed, "A person who doesn't want to be swayed by fate!" ”
Wang Cheng didn't go to the bottom of it, the other party obviously didn't want to say, and he asked in vain.
His attention was once again focused on the coffin of Zhaogong, and suddenly, he seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's words, and said, "You came here to get the inheritance left by Zhaogong?" ”
"Aren't you?" The woman in black looked at him.
Wang Cheng wanted to say no, but now that Zhaogong's coffin is in front of him, and Zhaogong's most precious things are buried in this coffin, how can he not be blushing?
The woman in black said, "I will only take one thing from the coffin, and the rest will be yours." ”
Wang Cheng didn't agree immediately, since the other party said so, presumably that thing must be very precious.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the woman in black said, "Don't worry! That thing is of no use to you. ”
Wang Cheng still didn't respond.
The woman in black was a little annoyed and said, "How can you be a big man?" Don't forget, you wouldn't have been here without my help. ”
Wang Cheng was not disgusted with the woman in black, because what she said was true, and she popularized so many things in this world with him. But he also made a request, that it had to be seen by him.
After discussing, the two finally opened Zhaogong's coffin completely.
Like the coffins of other emperors, this coffin is also divided into seven layers, one layer after another.
Ordinary people can use ordinary coffins for funerals, and coffins can highlight the status of the tomb owner.
The coffin system of the Great Zhou Dynasty has clear regulations: "The coffin of the Son of Heaven is sevenfold, the princes are five, the doctor is three, and the scholar is two."
Although Zhao Gong was a duke, he could only use the five-fold coffins of the princes, but his contribution to the Great Zhou was too great, and the national glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty could be extended to this day, and he played a very big role.
Today, thousands of years later, the "Rites of the Great Zhou" formulated by Zhaogong and the "Statecraft" left behind are all being used, and they are worthy of being called "the first saint of a thousand years".
Therefore, the specifications of his mausoleum and coffin are the same as those of King Zhou, which also symbolizes the respect of all the people in the world for him.
There are not many things to be buried in the seven-fold coffin, such as a crown and a dragon robe given by the Son of Heaven, a four-foot-long sword, seven sets of jade slips, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant that he carries with him.
Wang Cheng didn't think about it, and immediately grabbed the seven sets of jade slips with his hand.
However, a jade hand also grabbed the seven sets of jade slips.
Just when the two hands were about to meet, the jade hand suddenly flashed a golden light, and wrapped around Wang Cheng's hand with a "boom", and Wang Cheng's hand immediately stopped in mid-air.
Wang Cheng let out a low snort, and his physical strength suddenly poured into his arm, and he lifted the confinement in his hand at once.
However, after being delayed like this, before his hand could be stretched out, the seven sets of jade slips had already fallen into the hands of the woman in black.
The woman in black held seven scrolls of jade slips in both hands, and her already bright eyes flashed with essence.
It is not difficult to see that she is very happy to get these seven volumes of jade slips.
Wang Cheng was depressed and anxious, and said, "You promised to be here before, and let me take a look at it after you got the things." ”
The woman in black hesitated for a moment, but finally handed him a scroll of jade slips.
Wang Cheng took the jade slip, opened it and looked at it, and the next second, his face was stunned.
