When they saw this coffin, everyone knew that the destination of their trip had finally arrived...
It was a large purple sarcophagus, the whole body emitting a very eye-catching light, like a huge self-illuminating crystal.
The huge coffin above turned purple as reflected by the purple stones.
I don’t know exactly what the huge purple stone is, but when I look at it from here, I feel that the area seems very sacred, making people feel like they dare not set foot there.
Although the coffin can be more than 5 meters long, it still looks very small on top of this huge purple stone.
And there is a stone tablet in front of the purple boulder. It is very tall, and underneath it is carried by a giant beast carved in stone!!!
The giant beast has a dragon head and a turtle body, with a ferocious appearance and lifelike sculptures...
When he saw the appearance of the giant beast carved in stone, Chen Zhi immediately knew the level of the coffin when it was buried.
I also know the status of the owner of this coffin in the heart of the king at that time...
Although the appearance of this stone monster has not spread to the modern world, Chen Zhi once read in ancient documents and knew the name of this monster, which is called Shang Gui!!
It is said that he was kept in captivity in the ancestral temple of the Shang Dynasty. He was the sacred beast of the Shang Dynasty and was worshiped for immortality for generations.
It protected the well-being of the monarchs of the Shang Dynasty and the prosperity of the country, and was a representative of the imperial power of the Shang Dynasty.
It is said that when King Zhou of Shang Dynasty was ignorant and immoral and the Shang Dynasty regime was on the verge of collapse, this giant beast once wept with blood~~
Of course, these are all legends. As for whether this giant beast really exists, there is no way to test it.
But one thing is certain, that is, Shang Gui's status was very high at that time.
Legend has it that only when the emperor is buried, his totem can be used, and even the queen does not have such an honor.
And now there is a stone stele carrying a tomb carried by a Shang turtle standing here, which proves that the owner of this tomb has a very high status in the heart of the Shang emperor, to the extent that he can even be entrusted to the country.
The stone tablet was very close to them, and it was all carved from hard stone.
After they slowly approached the stone tablet, they discovered that there were inscriptions on it.
All the words are written in divine script and accompanied by large pictures...
In that picture, a man with a bow and arrows on his back is sitting on a stone, and in front of him is a man offering a bowl of meat to him.
The man was more than twice as tall as the emperor, very burly, bald and long-bearded, exactly like the statue of Peng Zu outside...
Chen Zhi rubbed the pattern on it, and then read the sacred text below. When translated, it roughly means...
Peng Zu, the God of Cooking, is the eighth legitimate grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan. His mother, Ghost Fangnu, married forty-nine wives and gave birth to fifty-four legitimate sons and countless concubines...
During the reign of Emperor Yao, the floods surged to the sky, the mountains and Xiangling mausoleums were so vast, and the people were disturbed by them.
Emperor Yao became ill due to overwork and often did not like his food. When hunting, there was no cook available and he was depressed.
The God of Cooking passed by at the right time and offered meat to the Emperor, calling it Yang Fang Zang Yu...
Emperor Yao heard its fragrance from afar, ate it deliciously, and his face glowed brightly after using it. Only then did he know the power of this meat soup!!
Then he asked the God of Cooking what kind of magic this was?
The cooking god replied:
This is cooking! My cooking can cook the world, and the heaven and the earth will change, and they will all be my food.
The emperor's heart is concerned with the world, so he is exhausted. Now, with the power of fish and sheep, we can make up for the emperor's losses!
However, the essence of cooking lies not in its delicious taste, but in its ability!!
Those who can cook can live longer.
Emperor Yao was overjoyed after hearing this, and he would eat this meat every day from then on. Although he took care of everything every day, he never got sick.
Taking advantage of the homophonic pronunciation of cooking, the god of cooking was named Peng Zu, and he was given the city of Peng, so that his descendants would be given the surname Peng, and they would be blessed from generation to generation.
From then on, Pengzu lived beside the emperor for a long time, cooking health soup for the emperor, and being a close confidant in the emperor's tomb~~
This written record is actually not much different from what Liu Baobao himself said.
But one thing is very important. It conveyed an important message that Chen Zhi didn't know before.
That's the true meaning of cooking, not just for the sake of food, but for the ability to gain from what you're cooking.
In other words, if you use the correct cooking method, you can gain the power of other animals.
You can even live a long and disease-free life...
This is a brand new concept, a very important concept, a concept that can even subvert the entire world.
After crossing this hard stone monument, they continued walking forward.
When you reach this location, you can see that there are many uneven bumps on the purple boulder.
Like small planes, looking from a distance, it seems that you can see words written on them...
When it reached this position, the purple light emitted from the stone in front enveloped everything around it.
It gives people a solemn and sacred feeling, and Liu Baobao's legs started to tremble when he came here.
"Let's go, after struggling for so long, we finally have to see the real chapter!
What are you afraid of?",
Fat Wei smiled and pushed Liu Baobao,
"see that?
Those are the remains of your ancestors. You'd better go ahead. We have to be polite. When we see our ancestors, we have to be respectful..."
After Liu Baobao was pushed by Fat Wei, he hesitantly took a step forward, and then did not dare to leave.
For some reason, he was very scared at this time.
His eyes were looking straight ahead, and the flesh on his face was trembling. He was very afraid of the coffin, as if he felt that the coffin could be opened at any time and the ancestors inside could jump out.
But in the end, he walked over...
This was the only moment during this period that Chen Zhi saw Liu Baobao so determined.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and walked forward quickly. It felt very heroic, and even seemed like he was willing to die generously...
Fat Wei looked at him from behind and laughed, and followed closely behind him.
And when they finally walked to the purple stone, they discovered that the layout here was not that simple.
This is the shape of a small hall, with several steps under the purple stone. In theory, this is a small altar.
The edges of each step are engraved with complex patterns, and there are also sacred texts engraved on them, which read:
"Cook heavenly creations and sacrifice them alive to your loyal king."
The words on it clearly show the identity of this coffin.
The owner in this coffin did not die naturally, but committed suicide as a living sacrifice. The object of sacrifice was his monarch...
Liu Baobao walked up step by step. When he stepped on those steps, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Chen Zhi had been following him, and when he came into close contact with this huge purple square stone.
He could clearly see that the words engraved on those small planes were indeed words.
And they are all written in divine script!
Chen Zhi took a quick look and was immediately shocked!
I didn't expect the content above to be so unexpected...
