Ninety-Nine Cemetery (for the Alliance Leader Pig Cat Red Army!)
Changqingzi took him slowly into it, and sure enough, he saw that there were stone men and stone horses scattered everywhere in the valley, and the terracotta figurines were Weng Zhong, some of them were still intact, but most of them had been overturned and broken. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info does not seem to be a single tomb in terms of scale, but a large group of tombs. Although the tombs are very old, the types are slightly different, and they seem to have been built at different times.
"With the size of China, there are no surprises. But since it's a trip, I think this place should be the most important for you to see. ”
Changqingzi took Huang Chang to stroll on the stone path in the valley, and finally spoke leisurely:
“...... Ah Chang, you seem to have been very interested in the sect cooperation that I discussed with the Master of Bitterness?"
"Huh?"
Huang Chang was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that since Changqingzi brought him here, he would always have to tell about the origin of this tomb and anecdotes. They were all ready to listen to the ancient talks, but who knew that when they opened their mouths, they raised the topic of the great alliance of the Xianmen by themselves when they were in the Tianchan Monastery before, which really caught Huang Chang off guard.
However, since it was the division commander's inquiry, he still answered honestly:
"Yes, the disciple thinks that if we unite several major sects......
"The power possessed by the West Kunlun, the East Qi Mountain, the Heavenly Chan Temple, and the other great immortal sects, if they join hands with each other, they can not only gain absolute control over all the affairs of this Divine Immortal Realm. Even the nether worlds, the barbaric realms, can be controlled in your hands—is that what you mean?"
Huang Chang was stunned, he hadn't thought of it so much. But Changqingzi then laughed and patted Huang Chang's head gently:
"You're not the first to think like this. Ah Chang, in fact, many years ago, some people thought about this, and put it into practice - immortal cultivators established a dynasty. It was an incomparably powerful and huge dynasty, with mortals as commoners, cultivators as officials, and demons as slaves, ruling over all kinds of living beings in the world. At that time, almost all the regions of the Divine Continent were under its control. Neither mortals nor monks, even the likes of goblins and spirits, could escape their control. ”
"Oh, that's not a good thing. ”
Huang Chang blurted out, but he couldn't help but think of the incomparably powerful government in his previous life, Chang Qingzi seemed to be a little surprised by the rapid change in his tone, glanced back at him, and said with a slight smile:
"Yes, that's not a good thing—both for mortals and for my generation of immortal cultivators. So it was eventually overturned -- with the joint efforts of everybody. Our West Kunlun suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Qishan was almost wiped out...... There are many other great denominations. Basically, almost all the sects that have been inherited for more than a thousand years have contributed to the great war back then. And the princes of all walks of life who rebelled back then are the origin of today's kingdoms. ”
Huang Chang took a deep breath, he already understood what Chang Qingzi meant by what he said to him. Sure enough, Kunlun Zhangjiao turned around and looked at him seriously:
"It will be a catastrophe, Ah Chang, even if we were the ones who were in the driver's seat at the beginning, it would still turn out to be a catastrophe in the end...... It may be a little early to tell you this, but sooner or later you will know - there is such a rule in today's immortal cultivation world: the power of the major immortal cultivation sects can only be used to cultivate younger generations, inherit their own sect lineage, and of course, protect themselves, but they are usually not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the immortal world, let alone the mortal world. That is, the so-called 'immortals ignore mundane affairs', 'mortal affairs, mortal affairs' -- these are the rules that countless immortal predecessors finally established after paying the price of blood and experiencing painful lessons, and our West Kunlun and East Qishan are precisely the main defenders of these rules. ”
Huang Chang took a deep breath, and finally fully understood the reason why Chang Qingzi wanted to bring him here, so he bowed his head and said:
"The disciple understood, the previous shallow and arrogant words, please don't be surprised...... This mausoleum must have been left by the previous dynasty?"
Seeing that Huang Chang changed the topic, Changqingzi didn't insist, and said with a slight bow:
"This is just one of them. ”
At this time, the two of them happened to walk on a slope, which was very high and could see a large area of the surrounding scenery. It's getting late, the sun is setting, and the afterglow shines on those ancient sculptures and buildings, showing an unparalleled sense of the vicissitudes of the times.
And Changqingzi also stopped, sat down cross-legged, and finally began to enter the stage of talking about the ancients:
"Today it is a matter of nations standing side by side, each passing on its own lineage. The Great Zhou is the co-lord of the world, and it has been passed down to this day for thousands of years, and most of the other countries are similar...... A thousand-year-old dynasty is a very long time for a country established by mortals, but compared to the previous dynasty of immortal cultivators, it is nothing ...... at all."
This place is called the Valley of the Kings, which is the cemetery of Pan Geng, the seventh emperor of the Yin Shang Dynasty and his courtiers. Merchants are known for their burials, and their important ministers are proud to be buried next to the king's mausoleum...... The whole valley is the burial tomb of the important ministers and generals of the Pangeng Dynasty. And at the end of this valley road, in the belly of the mountain, is the tomb of the Shang king Pangeng himself. ”
Following Changqingzi's finger, Huang Chang looked around in astonishment, just as far as he could see, there were no less than 100 graves of all kinds, not to mention those tombs that meandered deep into the long grass and dense forests, all over the entire valley on both sides. If you roughly estimate it, the number of mausoleums in this valley must be in the thousands!
"So many? Could it be that Pan Geng buried all his courtiers here?"
Huang Chang was not puzzled by the name of the dynasty called "Shang"—he had already discovered that the history of this world had a strange resemblance to his previous life, at least before the Warring States period. And judging from the perspective of his previous life, Zhou was a merchant before, isn't this normal? He was just surprised by the scale of this burial mausoleum, far beyond his original imagination.
And Chang Qingzi's answer surprised him even more:
"It is a privilege to be buried on the king's side, and only the highest-ranking courtiers of the year can be buried in the Valley of the Kings...... However, Pan Geng has been in power for more than 800 years, and generations of important ministers and generals have accumulated, so it is not surprising that there are so many. ”
"Eight...... More than 800 years?
Huang Chang was really taken aback, but then remembered that the ruler of the Yin Shang Dynasty in this life was a person who cultivated immortals. As a king, his strength level will definitely not be low, and as a Jindan, a great monk at the Yuan Infant level, it seems that it is not uncommon to have a lifespan of eight hundred years. But one man can rule the world for 800 years...... No wonder Changqingzi said that the Great Zhou Millennium Dynasty was nothing compared to the previous dynasty.
