Chapter Twelve West Sea Luoyun Kingdom
We sat next to the coffin, and each person opened a bowl of instant noodles. While eating, he listened to Jin Wantang bragging. Jin Wantang smacked his lips and signaled that if we didn't eat braised eggs, we could give them to him, and talked happily.
The story he told is very special, and it is related to a legendary ancient king. The reason why this king is special is that he is completely fictional and has sporadic records in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes of Haixi".
It was said that at that time, several alchemists sat looking at the sea and saw a mirage appearing by the sea, but it was very vague and everyone could not see clearly. So everyone guessed what was appearing on the sea.
One of the alchemists said that it was a building at the bottom of the sea, from a town that was flooded by sea water before; one of the alchemists said that it was a fleet of giant ships, from the Wushang Kingdom overseas; one of the alchemists said that it was the back of a sea beast, which basked in the sun to keep warm in the sea... In short, there was everything. But there was an alchemist named Tianmu who said nothing, but went back to pack his bags.
When the other alchemist asked him what he was doing, he pointed to the cloud in the distance and said that the mirage was in the shadow of the cloud. He wanted to follow the cloud. When the cloud walked to the land and the mirage appeared again, he could walk in and do some happy things with the immortals.
Everyone laughed at him, but Yun Lao didn't care at all. She carried her bag and waited by the sea to slowly float over the land. After the cloud really floated over the land, the mirage disappeared, but the magical thing was that the cloud did not dissipate, and it was really like life, floating inland.
Yun Lao followed Yun and traveled all the way to the west of China. In front of a large area of water, he finally saw the mirage again. He found a fisherman, sailed into the mirage in a small boat, and saw a country called the West Sea Luoyun Kingdom.
The monarch of this country, named King Qinhuang, said that he was a prince of Qin. After his death, he was named the Immortal King of the West Sea, so he established the Kingdom of Luoyun in the West Sea.
Jin Wantang said this and lowered his voice: "Do you know what does this legend have to do with this tomb? I'll tell you if you hand over your braised eggs."
Anyway, I don’t like that taste. I gave the braised egg to Jin Wantang, and the fat man poured half a bowl of noodles to him. Jin Wantang took a bite of the egg with satisfaction and said, “Don’t you think this legend is very similar to another legend?”
"What do you mean is the West Sea Luoyun Kingdom, the West of China, the Queen Mother Kingdom?" I asked, "Did this alchemist go to the West? The West Sea Luoyun Kingdom is another title of the West, or is it related?"
But I think it is wrong. The records of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West and the countries surrounding Kunlun at that time are equivalent to myths. The stories from the Western Han Dynasty are probably just pieced together with other legendary materials. Are alchemists? They are generally some liars who even cheated themselves.
Jin Wantang nodded: "It is indeed possible that this legend is fabricated. If I hadn't encountered this tomb, I would have thought so. But there is a detail in this legend, that is, when Tianmu chased the clouds, one day, the clouds turned black and rushed into a dark cloud. When Tianmu got lost, there was a thunder sound in the dark clouds, guiding Tianmu to continue moving forward. Tianmu looked up and saw a thunder god appearing on the clouds."
Jin Wantang took out his cell phone and showed us the photos of the mural he took just now. Among the countless thunder-listening people in the mural, there was a man wearing not an official uniform, but the costumes of a alchemist. They were very small, but they could be seen and depicted very carefully.
"The murals in the ancient tomb are either about the life story of the tomb owner or a myth. Even if it is a myth, there will be an image of the tomb owner. These exquisite murals must be related to the tomb owner. The murals talk about Tianmu chasing the clouds, and there is absolutely no mistake. But Tianmu is so small, so he must not be the tomb owner. Who is the tomb owner?"
"Who is the biggest painting on the mural?" asked the fat man. We immediately got up and went to the tomb outside, and began to look at the mural carefully. Soon, we found a person with the largest painting in size. This man was not Thunder King, but stood on the clouds, wearing luxurious clothes, complex headdresses, and many ears on one side of our body.
King Qin Huang? I secretly speculated in my heart. According to the previous story, the protagonist of this mural is the person standing on the clouds. The only people who can stand on the clouds and wear gorgeous clothes are the legendary characters. In other words, the monster corpse in the coffin is the tomb owner, and it is the King Qin Huang in the legend?
These murals, this corpse, come from the Qinhuang Royal Tomb? If the Yang family were tomb robbers who mainly used to stumble on the tomb of the thunder, would they also use the method of listening to thunder to find the West Sea Luoyun Kingdom?
The fat man murmured: "How come this sounds like a pitfall? This king was completely fabricated and there was no record of other historical materials."
"But the evidence of the murals appeared." Jin Wantang said, "Then you have to think about it. If part of the legend of Tianmu is correct, then why is there no record of the King of Qinhuang in history?"
I looked at the fat man, the fat man looked at me, and the fat man said, "The person who tells this legend has hidden the real information. King Qin Huang is a synonym." He looked at the sarcophagus, "Who is this Liu'er Mihou?"
Jin Wantang nodded. Just as I was about to speak, I heard a few galas. When I looked up, I saw that the oil bottle was twisting his shoulders. His whole body suddenly began to loosen. He was trying to adjust his body shape and climb into the well under the sarcophagus.
"Bone shrink?" Jin Wantang exclaimed. The oil bottle became thinner little by little, and used movements similar to yoga to stuff himself into the gap.
After entering, he kicked the stone pillar with his legs and twisted his body to restore his body. We went over and watched, and saw him shining the bottom of the body with a flashlight.
Jin Wantang asked: "Dad Mute, what are you looking for?"
