Origin

Everything must be done with etiquette. This stone tower is the tomb of the Wolf King, and Gao Zhan is a descendant of the Wolf King. He is equivalent to the owner of this stone tower. It is the right thing to take him in with him. The owner must accompany him when entering Yangzhai. It is a basic etiquette that the descendants of the tomb owner should accompany the tomb owner in the tomb house.

Gao Zhan also wanted to go in, but he was not allowed to climb high and had to be supported by Wu Zhongyuan. He was a little embarrassed, but Wu Zhongyuan did not give him a chance to refuse and directly supported him to jump up the stone tower and pass sideways through the gaps in the stones.

The inside of the stone tower was very dark. Due to the huge difference in brightness between the inside and outside, it was difficult to see clearly what was going on below when looking down. Wu Zhongyuan originally wanted to break off a corner of the stone and throw it to explore the way, but then he thought it would be inappropriate to damage the tombstone, so he urged it. The fire dragon's true energy emits a red flame that shines brightly.

By the light of the flames, Wu Zhongyuan could roughly see the situation below. The tomb was not very big, only a few hundred square meters. There was no coffin in the tomb, only a standing stone statue and some rectangular stone tables. There seemed to be something placed on the stone tables. thing.

This is the Wolf King's tomb, and it's not a monster's lair. There won't be any potential dangers. Wu Zhongyuan set off the flames just to make sure there was no water in the tomb. After making sure there was no water in the tomb, he jumped down with Gao Zhan in his arms.

Gao Zhan felt humiliated by being supported by Wu Zhongyuan all the time. In fact, he didn't need anyone else to support him when he jumped from a high place. He was worried that Wu Zhongyuan would treat him like a fool, so Gao Zhan said, "Sir, I have some spiritual skills. Know how to do bodywork."

Wu Zhongyuan was squinting to adapt to the dark environment at this time, when he heard Gao Zhan's words and said casually, "I know, but this place is the tomb of your ancestors, how can I come in first."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Gao Zhan was very moved. Although Wu Zhongyuan spoke to it unkindly and sometimes made sarcastic remarks to ridicule it, the things Wu Zhongyuan did showed respect for it.

There are no dangerous mechanisms in this place. After getting used to the light inside the stone tower, Wu Zhongyuan looked around and looked at the situation in the tomb. The tomb was in a regular square shape, with seven feet in longitude and latitude. There was a stone platform in the due north area. There is a majestic statue standing on it. The statue is about one foot high. It has the body of a wolf and the head of a warrior. It has no clothes on its upper body. Only a large bronze breast mirror is hung on its shoulders. The lower body is wearing a culottes connected with copper plates. .

The statue holds its head high, its right hand stretched out, and it stands tall and proud. From its standing posture and the movement of its right hand, it is easy to see that the statue should have been holding a dragon stick before, but the dragon stick has been reborn, so the statue does not have one in its hand. weapon.

The statue is located in the middle and north of the tomb chamber. There are many rectangular stone tables on both sides in front of it. To be precise, they should be stone tables. If you look carefully, there are three on the left and four on the right, a total of seven.

There are two things placed on each stone table, one of which is a different style of weapon, and the other is a bit scary, it is a variety of skulls, these skulls are of different sizes and shapes.

Only one of them looks like a human skull, and the rest are obviously not human and should belong to different types of animals.

While Wu Zhongyuan was observing the situation in the tomb, Gao Zhan was also doing the same thing. The situation in the tomb was very different from what he had guessed before. What surprised him most was that there was no coffin in the tomb.

"Sir, why is there no coffin?" Gao Zhan was very confused.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but walked towards the statue of the Wolf King in front of him. Because it was very old, the statue was covered with dust, but the thick dust and years of oxidation did not completely cover up the true nature of the statue. Take a closer look. , you can still find some yellowing on the statue.

Gao Zhan did not dare to walk around casually, so he followed Wu Zhongyuan towards the statue.

Wu Zhongyuan walked close to the statue and used his spiritual energy to brush away some of the dust on the statue. From this point of view, it became clearer that the statue was not carved from stone, but was made of a yellow metal. By accident, it should be gold, because although the color of the statue has darkened, it is still yellow. If it is bronze, it will definitely oxidize and turn green over the years.

Gold has actually been around for a long time, but because it is soft and cannot be melted and made into weapons, it has been ignored by the world. However, being ignored does not mean that no one uses this metal. The Tianzhuan Script is made of gold.

For gold, a metal, many people only know that it is very valuable. They mistakenly believe that it is valuable because of its rarity. In fact, this is a complete misunderstanding. The reason why gold is valuable is that it has strong spirituality and can be gathered. The benign atmosphere, including spiritual energy, has a certain positive effect on the person who wears it. Some Taoist temples and temples like to use gold powder to make golden statues of gods. To outsiders, this is to show off wealth or simply to look good. In fact, it is not the case. They are just In order to enhance the spirituality of the statue and make it more effective.

The counterpart to gold is silver and copper. Silver and copper also have the effect of gathering benign atmosphere, but the effect is slightly inferior to gold. However, it cannot be said that gold is better than silver and copper, because these three metals have their own properties, and gold is pure Yang. Things that gather Yang Qi, gold jewelry is actually not suitable for women to wear. Silver is feminine and gathers yin energy. If a man wears it for a long time, he will lack masculinity. Only copper is half yin and half yang, has few taboos and is widely used.

People at this time didn't understand this property of gold, but just because they didn't understand it didn't mean that no one else understood it, at least the people who made the statues did.

Wu Zhongyuan originally thought that the statue of the Wolf King was made of pure gold. When his eyes moved to the right hand of the statue, he found that his idea was not correct. This statue was not made of pure gold, it was only gilded.

The right hand of the statue originally held the lynx stick. After the lynx stick was born, the palm of the statue was exposed. Wu Zhongyuan saw the finger bones inside. The appearance of the finger bones showed that the physical body of the Wolf King was hidden inside the statue.

Upon discovering this, Wu Zhongyuan stood up straight, raised his hands and bowed deeply to the statue.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan salute to the statue, Gao Zhan reacted and hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to the statue.

"Look at the right hand of the statue." Wu Zhongyuan reminded.

Gao Zhan kowtowed to the statue and was about to stand up. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's reminder, he looked intently. When he saw the phalanges of the statue's palm exposed, he hurriedly knelt down again and kept kowtowing.

While Gao Zhan was kowtowing to the statue, Wu Zhongyuan stepped towards the statue and inspected the stone platform in front of the statue. However, the result of the inspection made him disappointed. There was no writing on the stone platform.

Looking around at the stone walls, I saw that the stones building the tomb were all bluestone in color, without any color or decoration.

There are not many things in the tomb. Apart from the statue of the Wolf King, only the seven stone tables are left. The skulls and weapons on these seven stone tables are probably the enemy generals that the Wolf King killed during his lifetime and the weapons they used. , is proof of the Wolf King’s illustrious military exploits.

Since there are no murals and texts in the tomb, the desire to learn about the other five realms through murals and texts has been in vain. Now we can only examine the skulls and weapons on the stone table, and we can learn something about the enemy's situation.

With the mentality of being better than nothing, Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the first stone table on the right. On that stone table was a human skull, and the weapon was a broken sword.

When I got close, I was about to take a closer look at the skull, when I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be writing on the stone table, but the writing was very small, and the dust on it was thick, almost completely covering it.

Holding back the excitement in my heart, I reached out and touched it. The nervousness and anxiety instantly turned into ecstasy. There were words. The words were small, but there were many words.

What Wu Zhongyuan is not afraid of most is the large number of words. He wishes he could find tens of thousands of words. He knows almost nothing about the Great War back then, and any words are precious information to him.

Naturally, there are not tens of thousands of characters on the stone table, but only a few dozen by visual inspection. Even so, Wu Zhongyuan was very satisfied. You must know that there were only a few thousand characters at that time, and each character represented more meanings than modern characters. These dozens of words must contain a lot of information.

Punctuation marks only gradually appeared after the Han Dynasty. The text on the stone table has neither punctuation marks nor is it divided into lines. It is not easy to read. However, this is not difficult for Wu Zhongyuan, because he studied archeology and is a historical practitioner. , and sentence segmentation is a basic skill for all historical practitioners.

Just reading one sentence made Wu Zhongyuan's heart beat faster, "Twenty-eight years of strong wind." "There was an accurate chronology during the prehistoric period. This was something he had never thought of before. Because the interval was too long, history was severely disrupted. It was impossible to deduce the specific year of Gale's twenty-eighth year, nor was it possible to deduce the date from now. How many years have passed, but this sentence still contains very important information. Legend has it that Fuxi's original surname is Feng, and Gale is naturally Fuxi's reign. The twenty-eighth year of Gale is the 28th year after Fuxi ascended the throne. .

The first sentence had already made Wu Zhongyuan's heart beat faster, and the second sentence directly made his blood boil, 'Follow the king on an expedition, cross the yellow light barrier, and pursue the fierce. ’

The amount of information contained in this sentence is even greater. The barrier here should refer to the black hole leading to another world. There are four similar black holes in total, one in the southeast and northwest. The light emitted when different black holes are opened is also It's different. He has only seen the black hole in Nanguan open, but not the other three black holes. But others have seen it. It is said that the west pass emits black light, the north pass emits green light, and the east gate emits yellow light. , and Nanguan had seen with his own eyes that the black hole emits blue light when it opens.

Earlier, he had visited Xuanwu who was stationed in Beiguan. Xuanwu had rumored to tell the directions of the four sealed paths of gods, ghosts and demons. The east gate sealed the divine path, the south gate sealed the ghost path, the north gate sealed the demon path, and the west gate sealed the path. It's the magic way.

Although this second sentence did not explain who the enemy was pursuing, it did mention the yellow light barrier. Since it was yellow light, it was naturally Shinto.

Before that, he had always thought that the four black holes were one-way, and the gods, ghosts and demons inside could come out, but humans could not enter. But now it seems that this is not the case. The four black holes can communicate with each other when they are open.

In addition, this sentence also contains another piece of information, that is, at the time of Gale Twenty-eight, humans had already gained the upper hand in the great war and began to cross the border to fight back.

"Sir." Gao Zhan's voice came from the side.

Wu Zhongyuan retracted his thoughts and turned to look at it.

"Sir, your mount is still pushing against the stone outside. That posture is really tiring. Should we hurry up?" Gao Zhan asked.

"It's okay, it can hold up." Wu Zhongyuan said casually. After saying this, he felt that he couldn't get out for a while, so Dasha pushed the stone inward.

"Sir, are the words on this useful to you?" Gao Zhan asked again.

"Useful." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Gao Zhan was relieved when he heard this. In fact, he also wanted to know what was written on the stone table, but he was too embarrassed to ask. He could only endure his doubts and curiosity and wait quietly.

Wu Zhongyuan continued to read. If the first two sentences brought him shock, then the third sentence brought him confusion, "Encountered the god general Feng Fei in Fuyun Mountain, fought fiercely for three years, and died with the rod of death." Down. ’

The meaning of "death stick" is to beat the opponent to death with a stick. This also indirectly shows that this battle is not a group battle but a two-person battle. But how can a battle last for three years...
