"It's not that simple?" I feel a little incomprehensible. Ancient people, especially emperors, were very eager to pursue immortality. That should be their biggest goal in life. If the real purpose of King Zhou Mu's journey to the west was not immortality, then
It really makes me guess.
Because the true purpose of King Zhou Mu's journey to the west was hidden by him, the phoenix he brought back confused future generations for a long time. Most people naturally believed that King Zhou Mu was seeking
The way to immortality. Immortality is a great temptation for anyone. Therefore, the alien phoenix brought back from a foreign land by King Mu of Zhou has become the goal pursued by many people.
But the vigilance of phoenixes is very high, and the places where they live are quite remote. Sometimes, after all the troubles, someone finally encounters phoenixes somewhere, but before they can really get close, the flock of birds has already flown away.
Especially during the past two decades, the phoenix has almost become extinct.
However, in the long history, there are indeed people who have captured and studied the phoenix for various reasons, perhaps through great efforts, or perhaps by an unexpected coincidence. They did not know what methods King Mu of Zhou used to capture the phoenix.
He gained a long lifespan, but in the process, the effect of phoenix guano was unexpectedly discovered.
Sure enough, it was what I thought. The magical bird that Wu Shengli mentioned was the phoenix whose body was like gold. The scabs in the bird's beak and the tripod and the bronze furnace were actually the guano of the phoenix.
.
"I don't need to explain the function of bird droppings. In fact, you should know it, right?" The old magician paused. When he said this, he may have recalled the death of Mr. Chen not long ago, and his tone was a little sighing.
"Well, I know." I also felt sad. In such a short period of time, everything around me had changed. Things and people had changed. It suddenly seemed like I had an unreal dream: "Other things can no longer exist."
Tell me something?"
"What can't I do?" The old man grinned, then sighed, and said: "Back then, I made an agreement with my old man that some things should never be told to anyone again for the rest of our lives. But neither of us thought that
, these things will never have an answer in your life. He entrusted those things to you and asked you to hand them over to others. In fact, he must have thought about it, what if you never meet that person? Those things can be regarded as being left behind invisibly.
It's for you. If you spend your whole life doing this, then things still have to be passed on, so there are things that he didn't have time to tell before he died, but I will tell you."
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the main purpose of coming to the barren mountain this time, the face-changing man, Qingqing's trick, the answer to the mystery is in the barren mountain not far away. I looked at Qingqing again, she was very quiet, maybe she knew
I was talking to the old man and stood there alone.
The old man went on to talk about it. After the role of phoenix guano was accidentally discovered, it has been passed down. This has aroused the interest of many people, and they have been conducting research from generation to generation. Of course, these people did not think so much, they only pursued
You can live longer and even escape the natural laws of life and death.
"They, and you, may not expect it." The old magic stick said: "Immortality is not the most mysterious thing."
The incident of King Mu of Zhou may have originally been derived from the Phoenix. For a long time after the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was not much progress, and no one discovered the flaw in the incident, or the real purpose of King Mu's journey to the west. Until
During the Western Han Dynasty, many secrets were revealed with the rampant tomb robbing.
The Western Han Dynasty was already very far away from the era of King Mu, and the parties involved had long since rotted into a handful of ashes, so most of the information came from written materials. These materials can be said to be very important discoveries, which caused a stir within a certain fixed range.
It was quite shocking, but unfortunately, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some people who knew the inside story, including the information, were destroyed in the chaos caused by the successive palace struggles.
This matter fell silent again.
What made the incident unfold again was an organization, or a group. That group was called Changsheng Guan.
The Immortality Guan was originally a branch of the Five Dou Rice Dao in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the development and growth of the Five Dou Rice Dao, many things and twists and turns happened. Birds of a feather flock together. Gradually, the Immortality Guan became a very unique branch of the Five Dou Rice Dao. Their members have never had any political affiliation.
The goal, the only purpose, is to pursue the legendary immortality.
With the development of the times, the Immortality View completely broke away from the mother religion and became a special and secretive group. Their mother religion was Taoism. However, later, the members they admitted were not limited to Taoism. As long as they met the standards
Everyone has the opportunity to join the concept of immortality. With so many people sharing the same goal, it is necessary to have a clear division of labor and action plans. Just like the inevitable trend of social development, classes appear within the group.
People with the concept of longevity are constantly searching for various possible ways and means of immortality. In this long and complicated process, as more antiquities and materials are unearthed and excavated, people with the concept of longevity have keenly discovered that King Mu
Flaws in Journey to the West. They discovered that immortality was not the real purpose of King Zhou Mu’s journey to the West. Therefore, the purpose of the Immortality View has undergone some changes. They have never given up on the way to immortality, but at the same time they are still conducting in-depth research.
King Mu of Zhou traveled to the Western Regions, what exactly was he looking for?
This research process is calculated in units of hundreds of years. During this period, there must have been many secrets that future generations cannot know. It can be said that the Immortality Viewer should be the group that knows the most inside information.
"Isn't this a little far away from us?" I interrupted and asked the old magician, because listening to his story, I always felt that I was listening to an ancient folk legend.
"Don't think so." The old magic stick shook his shoulders and narrowed his eyes almost to a slit, saying: "I can guarantee that the organization of Changsheng Guan still exists to this day."
I can't guarantee that everything the old man said is true, but it sounds like there are no flaws. He said that the dozens of corpses in the weird and huge house that was first excavated in Dayanpo may all be immortals.
Members. They all have phoenix guano that has been specially refined and can be preserved for a long time. This guano can temporarily break away from death for a period of time, just like Wu Shengli and Chen Lao.
"I want to know, after these people died, they gathered in one place. Is there any special reason that prompted them to do this?"
"There must be some, but I can't figure it out right now." The old magic stick said: "The place where the corpses gathered is not an ordinary place. There are many complicated patterns in the big room and even in the cave below. So far, maybe
No one knows the function of that kind of pattern yet. I guess there are still people who have been investigating this matter. In addition to Dayanpo, this phenomenon also exists in other places. Take a look at this."
The old magic stick took out a photo. He said that there was no way to know who originally took the photo. The camera carrying the photo was accidentally found on a Gobi Desert in the northwest region. It is estimated that the owner of the camera was in trouble at that time.
There was an emergency and I lost my camera.
I took the photo. The shooting environment should be in a very dark and vast place. Under the action of the flash, everything in the main scene of the photo was captured very clearly. I saw that the ground in the photo was covered with
Twisted and irregular lines were formed one after another, vaguely forming a huge pattern. In the center of these lines, a person was lying quietly.
I couldn't tell whether this man was dead or alive. He was lying in the middle of the lines, as if he was sleeping soundly. He was probably very old, with a gray beard and no hair. He looked like an old monk.
.
"Who is this person?"
"I don't know." The old magic stick shook his head, took the photo from my hand, and said: "I just want to tell you that the situation in Dayanpo is not a special case. Who is the person in the photo is not very important. It must be related to the concept of longevity.
It matters."
"Apart from these situations? Is there anything else?"
"What I want to say next is the most important point." The old magic stick said: "The inscription on the bird's beak and tripod."
The old magic stick didn't know what the inscriptions on the bird's beak tripod were, but he had always suspected that these obscure inscriptions were brought back by King Mu of Zhou after his journey to the west. There are many inscriptions, and they may have been cast on the bronze tripod, including
The inscriptions on the stone tripod beneath Dayanpo belong to the same category as the bird beak inscriptions. Such inscriptions were first sorted and excavated by people from the Temple of Immortality.
"Maybe." The old magic stick said: "The secrets are all in the inscriptions, but no one can understand them."
"Not necessarily." I retorted secretly in my heart. The inscription on the bird's beak tripod is indeed very obscure, but at least Chen Lao's wife must have gained something during the interpretation process, but she just didn't have time to say it. Moreover, Wu Shengli was eating
After collecting the bird droppings from the phoenix, he begged me more than once to give him the inscription on the bird's beak tripod. If he didn't know anything, he wouldn't ask for that thing from me.
"This matter is such a pity." The old magician said with emotion: "Sometimes the opportunity is right in front of you, but it's just a little bit short."
"How to say?"
"You still remember that in that weird big house in Dayanpo, you once found a corpse that seemed to be not quite dead yet?"
"Remember." I nodded. This is what Mr. Chen told me personally. Among the more than forty corpses from all dynasties, one still has obvious signs of life. It can also be said that he is alive.
