Chapter 321: The Doubt Of Returning
According to Zhao Xin, the Chiguo Oasis in Guibugui's mouth is two days and one night away. This time, seeing the rare nervous expression on Guibugui's face, Xiao Rensan was not struggling. He asked Bai Wuqiu to set up a tent on his horse to avoid the sunlight. The little guy held the jar of wine and drank it in a daze, and did not complain that he was going to be dried into ginseng.
Along the way, Gui Bugui seemed to have become a different person. He was like he used to talk and laugh, and the old guy was silent now. He was always thinking about something all day long. Bai Wuqiu called him a few times, but most of the old guy didn't hear it. In the end, his cheap son was too lazy to call him, and he went to Wu Mian to discuss anything.
According to Gui Bugui, he should not rest at night and rushed to the land of Zhiguo. However, he, Wu Mian and the two monsters could bear it. Zhao Xin and the people he hired could not withstand it. After dark for a long time, after Zhao Xin and the others were repeatedly begging, Gui Bugui finally agreed to rest here for a night, and he would set off immediately after dawn the next day.
At this moment, these people began to build tents and cook. The old guy sat directly in the sand and drew something on the sand with his fingers. However, after drawing it, he was not very satisfied. He wiped off the drawing and then drew it on the sand. He drew it like this and then wiped it off. After wiping it, he drew it over and over again.
The old guy has practiced fasting and doesn't need to eat. After dinner was cooked, Zhao Xin came to invite him several times, but Gui Bugui didn't go there. He just lowered his head and continued to draw pictures that no one could understand.
Among them, Xiao Rensan and Bai Wuqiu came to see him. When he saw the old guy, he seemed to be drawing some map. He looked at each square, but it didn't look like a map in the wild. Looking at the old guy's frowning, Bai Wuqiu was so tactful that he didn't dare to disturb him. He just took a look and continued to find a place to drink and eat meat.
"It seems you have forgotten to tell me something..." When Zhao Xin and the other hired people fell asleep, Wu Mian slowly walked to Gui Bugui's side. After taking a look at the old guy's half-drawn sand map, he continued, "I'll say for you, you have been to Zhiguo before, and you should have suffered losses there. I haven't thought about anything clearly, okay, I'll finish it. You can continue talking."
After saying this to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui had no intention of continuing to draw pictures. However, the old guy's face finally returned to his former smile. After a smile at Wu Mian, he said, "If it weren't for Zhao Ji, I would have almost forgotten the ridiculous things when I was young..."
When Gui Bugui just worshipped Xu Fu's sect, he was a little alchemist. He once entered the desert with a single horse. At that time, he wanted to cross the desert to find a Quanrong tribe. He went to find the essence iron from the sky that fell from the sky not long ago, and wanted to use this piece of essence iron to refine magic weapons.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a storm in the desert. At that time, Gui Bugui's technique was limited, which was not enough to eliminate the sandstorm. His horse also died in the sandstorm. Gui Bugui relied on magic to protect himself, although it was not a big deal, he still landed in a sand cave.
At that time, the old guy fell down and fell into a coma on the spot. When he woke up, the hole on his head was covered by sand again. Fortunately, there was a magic mechanism here to cover the sand on it, so that Gui Bugui did not bury him alive.
After the old guy got up, he found himself in a place that looked like a palace. At that time, he relied on his magic to protect himself, thinking about the depths of the palace. Not long after he walked in, the old guy found that this place was actually a country without any written records. He had seen some crooked pictures on the walls, and looked at the bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. However, Gui Bugui recognized it for a long time, but he still couldn't recognize a single word.
Although the old guy didn't recognize what was written on the text, he still saw some clues from some murals. Among them, in a place that seemed to be the main hall, there were several pictures of the army in the original style and some tall warriors. The first few paintings were also extremely brilliant, but the last few murals were fighting on both sides actually turned into wars and silk.
The soldiers dressed in the Central Plains also gave some food, jade artifacts, stone chimes and other gifts to these warriors. At this time, there were also some dragon flags and other marks that could prove their identity on the flags, and one of them was engraved with bone inscriptions.
Looking at the meaning of the mural, the Shang Dynasty sent a large army to the desert to conquer this small country. However, the war did not seem to be smooth. In the end, the commander of the Shang Dynasty changed his strategy and formed an alliance with the warrior country to take their own needs. Although he was a little scared, he avoided a disaster of war.
When Gui Bugui saw this, he became even more confused. He had never seen such a major event as the war between the two countries in the literature at all. If it weren't for his previous experience, he would have thought he was listening to legendary stories.
After being in this dark palace for a long time, he would eventually go out. However, Gui Bugui's personality made him return empty-handed and did not fight against reality. At present, he continued to look for any treasures worth taking out here.
However, what disappointed Gui Bugui was that there were many vulgar things like gold and jewelry here, but there were not many useful treasures of heaven and earth. Just as he was about to give up here, return to the place where he fell, and use magic to reveal the sand on his head. When he was driving a road out, he found several stone chimes left by the Shang Dynasty in the palace.
Stone chimes were popular among princes and princes during the Shang Dynasty. The words on them were all bone inscriptions that were known to the old man. At present, the old man saw another historical record that surprised him even more.
It said that Shang Wang Pan Geng personally led a large army to attack Zhiguo. He was originally victorious, but a big storm turned the situation around. Later, after half a year of entanglement with Zhiguo's army, the national strength was difficult to maintain such a large-scale long-term attack war. Shang Wang could only change his strategy and temporarily stop the war, and first save his strength and return to the Shang Dynasty.
He was afraid that when the army retreated, the army of Zhiguo's country would attack from behind. The Shang king accepted the plan of his generals to form an alliance with Zhiguo, and then planned to fight again after returning to his country to recuperate.
The words written on it are all bone inscriptions. It seems that the Shang King was obviously bullying Zhiguo and could not understand his own words. He even gave the stone chime as a gift to the king of Zhiguo. However, according to time, the Shang King Pan Geng died of illness the second year after he returned to the country. It seems that Zhiguo was lucky. He fought with the Shang King's army. The first time he was about to be defeated, a big sandstorm came to rescue them. The second time the cunning Shang King planned to go back to cultivate and come back, but he did not expect that the Shang King would be short of his life and never return.
Suddenly, Gui Bugui became even more confused. This is the ruins of Zhiguo? Didn’t it mean that Zhiguo was built by a banshee after the fall of Shang? This is a stone chime given by Shang King Pan Geng. According to the above, the Zhiguo must be mentioned for at least a few hundred years. Will historians make mistakes in such major events?
After seeing these stone chimes, Gui Bugui became even more confused. At that moment, he continued to look at the records on the stone chimes behind him. The following were nothing more than words praising the Shang King Pan Geng. He used the flattery articles he gave to others as a state gift. This Shang King Pan Geng was also a bit of a bad taste.
However, in the last stone chime, Gui Bugui finally found something he was interested in. The reason why the Shang king's army confiscated the Zhiguo this time was to obtain the legendary holy object in Zhiguo that was immortal. However, this holy object was hidden in a secret place, and even the king of Zhiguo could not easily enter.
