Chapter 87(1/2)
"Become an immortal? This is too outrageous."
The leader of the ancient Shu clan smiled: "You are from Wujiao Dao, don't you believe in ascending to immortality?"
Er Pang was shocked: "You even know this?"
"The so-called ascension to immortality, for you outsiders who believe in science, means to sublimate the ideology of the soul.
There is a Taoist practice called Yang Shen, which has a similar principle."
"Then this is what King Yu's palace hides?"
"To be precise, it's part of it. In the past, the two ancestors of Bashu divided the things they brought out from the fairyland into three parts and placed them in three places.
Yanwei Gu was one of them, but it was later stolen by Suihetu, a woman from Cancong's lineage.
The other two items, one of which was placed in the Palace of King Yu, were later acquired by Can Cong. After it was defeated by the tribe commanded by the ancestors of Xirong, that thing returned to the Palace of King Yu.
Later, Turtle Spirit found some of the 108 seas, so he was able to come back to life."
"What exactly is that thing?"
"Eternal life water."
"Eternal life water? People can live forever if they drink it?" I don't believe it.
"To be precise, he will not die. Whenever a person is on the verge of death due to organ failure, a person who has drank the longevity water will put that person into a short period of dormancy. During this period, his internal organs will repair themselves and wake up after a period of time.
It’s a new life.”
"It's so powerful! Saying that you know it so well, have you ever drank it?" Erpang's words made us focus on the leader of the ancient Shu clan.
His voice is that of an old man, but his face is that of a child's. Is it possible for him to become a child again?
"I am indeed thousands of years old." He said shockingly, "But it's not because of the longevity water.
We have never really seen Yanwei Gu, Immortal Water and that one thing.
You are the only person I have ever seen who was still alive and kicking after being infected by the Yanwei Gu."
"Then what?" I asked. If the story ends here, I'm afraid the following situation will not be dangerous enough to warrant the warning from the ancient Shu chief.
"After Cancong died, I thought things would calm down.
But unfortunately, it didn't.
One year there was a flood in the Minjiang River, and Du Yu, the king of Shu at that time, was helpless.
Until someone shows up."
"Turtle spirit?" I answered.
"Yes. The turtle spirit came back from the dead, promised to control the flood, and asked Emperor Wang to give him a part of the royal power.
Emperor Wang Du Yu was eager to control the water and agreed without even thinking about it.
So Turtle Ling led some Shu people to fish on a large scale in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, which lasted for half a year."
I thought to myself, are they looking for something else besides longevity water?
"Then what did they catch?" The second fat man was impatient and asked directly.
"A huge water monster." The ancient Shu chief's expression turned gloomy as he spoke, "At that time, the Shu people only thought that this monster caused the river to flood, so they all believed that the turtle spirit had magical powers. Gradually, Emperor Wang's power was emptied out.
I have to give way to Turtle Ling, and the country will be called enlightened."
"What kind of monster is that?" I asked.
"That's a horned dragon."
We were all shocked when the leader of the ancient Shu clan said this. We walked along the migration route of the ancient Shu clan in the past, and we only saw dragon bones in one place.
Palace of King Yu.
Seeing our expressions, the leader of the ancient Shu clan nodded: "It seems that you have found out a lot of things. Yes, it is the dragon guarding the palace of King Yu.
They determined the location of King Yu's Palace, and after Bieling came to power, they spent a lot of manpower to dive under the eye of the Minjiang River to explore King Yu's Palace.
Although the Turtle Spirit failed to obtain the Immortal Water, it learned the existence of the other two treasures from the descendants of the Huanlong clan who guarded the temple. However, they failed to find the location of the Osi Kingdom, so they did not obtain the Yanwei Gu.
But the turtle spirit knows where the third treasure is."
"Where?" we said in unison.
The leader of the ancient Shu clan shook his head: "Unfortunately, I don't know. I only know that the location of the treasure is engraved on something, including how to unlock the Yanwei Gu.
And that thing was stolen by Cancong from the turtle spirit's tomb after Cancong was resurrected."
"Just down here?"
"That's right, but you have to know that Cancong got part of the immortal water, supplemented by the elixir he came up with, and cultivated countless undead corpses to guard his tomb."
I immediately thought of those zombies with long eyes: "Are they the same as the legendary beasts with long eyes? I met them in Yingpan Mountain. Could it be that those are..."
"Yes, those are the ancient Shu people who were bewitched by the silkworm bushes and were driven south. Since you have met them, you should know better than me. Those monsters are far beyond the comparison of ordinary living corpses."
I can be sure of this.
The speed and strength of those zombies are beyond imagination, even if Shang Qingyun comes, it will take a lot of effort.
In the Heimiao Underground Palace before, the two fat men who were controlled by the Flower Gu from the Other Side were worthless in front of those zombies. But at that time, Shang Qingyun almost suffered a loss.
Seeing that I confirmed the statement of the ancient Shu clan leader, the others looked in a dilemma.
Finally, the second fat man clapped his hands: "Hey, what's the matter? Why are you crying and mourning? Wouldn't you live without Master Shang? The food will be different? The tomb will be laid in the same way!"
I really admire Er Pang's open-minded nature.
So I stood up and bowed deeply to the leader of the ancient Shu clan and said, "I'm sorry, we must go to the Cancong Tomb."
"Okay then." The leader of Gu Shu said and clapped his hands.
At this time, there were very light footsteps outside the door. Although the sound was light, it was very important. As the footsteps got closer, I heard a little sound of the breeze floating.
Facing our gaze, a person stepped in from outside the door.
We were shocked when we saw this man's attire.
This man was wearing a short-breasted yellow monk's robe, with his wrists and ankles bound, and a silk ribbon wrapped around his waist. He looked exactly like Jet Li in the movie "Shaolin Temple".
Seeing his bright and reflective head, with nine scars dotted on it, we can even confirm——
This man turned out to be a monk!
He approached the door and called us the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the young monk has come to help. At the request of the Incense and Fire Department, we have come to help."
We were stunned.
This monk has a kind-faced look and a kind-hearted look. He is not like the old monks in my impression who look very respectful and secretive, nor is he like those young warrior monks who are hot-blooded and have angry eyes.
He looks about the same age as me, around 20 years old, but he looks like a girl, with pretty features and a bit of peach blossom between his eyebrows. If it weren't for his shiny head and deep voice,
I really thought he was a woman pretending to be a woman.
The second fat man waved his hand when he saw it: "Oh, no, no. The four of us are already burdensome enough to go to the tomb, and we need a monk. What? You ancient Shu people also expect a monk to go down and save the souls of the dead?"
As he said that, Er Pang stood up from his seat, walked up to Monk Que, stretched out his hand to push him: "You look like a woman, you are so weak, can you..."
As soon as his fingertips touched the cloth on Monk Que's shoulders, he stumbled forward for some unknown reason and rolled forward several times until he was blocked by the threshold.
I was shocked.
I didn't even see Monk Que make any move just now. I only saw that Er Pang suddenly seemed to be caught by a mysterious force and fell directly over his shoulder and fell behind Monk Que.
Looking at the young monk again, he was still standing there, with an unchanging smile on his face: "Amitabha. This trip is entrusted by the Incense Department. Please don't embarrass the young monk."
"Good boy! Come, have a fight with your Brother Nan, and if I win, I will recognize you." The second fat man had already stood up, rolling up his arms and sleeves to start a fight.
"Second Fatty!" I called him, "It doesn't matter. Master, please give me more advice."
I shook hands with Monk Que, and we reached a consensus.
After a short stay in the ancient Shu tribe, the chief of the ancient Shu tribe took us to find the entrance to the underground city of the undead.
On the way we saw the customs and customs of the ancient Shu tribe, which were very similar to those in Heimiao.
I couldn't help but ask: "Clan leader, what is your connection with Sanmiao?"
"We can't say they are related, we should say they are from the same branch. Ancient Shu was a very complex existence. After the ancestors of Bashu left the fairyland and came to Shu, our ancestors of the Shu people were worshiped as gods by the native residents here.
At that time, our ancient Shu ancestors discovered that the people here seemed to be proficient in the art of raising silkworms. After careful questioning, we learned that the skills they learned were passed down from the ancestors of Luo.
According to the ancient Shu people at that time, this technique was first invented by people from the fairyland.
This caused the ancestors of ancient Shu to feel homesick, so the ancestors left behind to establish ancient Shu to protect the people here."
I remembered what I had learned about the life experience of the leader of the Osi Kingdom in the Cancong Tomb, and I immediately said, "Could it be that the ancestors of the Ousi Kingdom were also people from the fairyland?"
"Yes. It is for this reason that after our ancestors refined the Yanwei Gu, they hid it in the river map taken from Silkworm Cong. Subsequently, this river map was stolen and taken to the Ousi Kingdom, and it all belonged to our ancestors. arrange."
"But the silkworm bushes still trapped Lord Osi in his mausoleum and left his mausoleum." I said.
"This is also a deliberate arrangement."
"What's the purpose of doing this?" I didn't understand.
