After Fat Wei finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
The sound effects of the work clothes are very good. Everyone can hear Fat Wei's tone clearly. It is definitely not a joke...
Chen Zhi and the others started walking inside according to the light given by Fat Wei, and within a few steps they saw something.
If you are outside, you can see the shadows in this dark hall, and there are some square things like stone coffins everywhere.
But when I got closer, I realized that these were large long stones placed on the ground, like stone platforms.
These stones are very simple. They are all rectangular black stones placed directly here.
There is no decoration, not even polished edges.
They were just placed on the ground casually, one next to another, there were more than a dozen of them.
And on each of these stone bars, there is a corpse...
Most of the corpses were in dilapidated condition, and they were wearing tattered armor. Most of the armor had fallen apart, and the metal had turned into pieces. It looked like the wreckage that can be seen everywhere in ancient tombs.
There wasn't much covering on the body, just a simple piece of leather covering the upper chest and head.
The leather looked rotten, with a lot of mold residue on it. Judging from the texture, it should be the skin of ancient wild horses or other beasts.
It seems that these corpses had been dead for some years when they were brought to this cemetery.
Chen Zhi walked up to a corpse, stretched out his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, gently lifted up a piece of leather.
I saw that the corpse below was already mummified. There were many large wounds on the body. The flesh and skin were basically gone, and the rest were mainly white bones.
If it weren't for the broken armor wrapped around it, these bones would probably be scattered.
But we can still see that this corpse has an obvious feature, that is, it has no right arm.
Chen Zhi then turned over the leather on several corpses and saw that all the corpses had a common feature, that is, their bodies were covered in scars and they had no right arm.
Chen Zhi counted them and found exactly 13.
"The legendary Thirteen Warriors?",
Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart. He didn't want to be moved by these ancient and unrealistic things, but he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.
"This has really fulfilled their ambition, shrouded in horse leather, nothing else.
They have been fighting for their obsession all their lives, what on earth do these people want!!"
Chen Zhi was looking at these ancient corpses here, while the fat and powerful searchlight was dangling over there.
He has been at the very back since just now, and there seems to be a corpse there.
He half-crouched next to the corpse and kept waving to them, but he did not dare to speak loudly, as if there was something sacred and inviolable around him!!
"What did you see?" Chen Zhi walked over quickly.
"Keep your voice down!!",
When Fat Wei saw Chen Zhi and the others walking in, he immediately waved his hands desperately, asking them to keep their voices down.
"Speak respectfully and don't disturb the old man's sleep.
That person... is here."
"What did you say?",
Chen Zhi didn't want to think about what Fat Wei said now, so he glanced forward.
I saw a stone platform in front of me, exactly the same as the ones just now.
There is also a corpse on the stone platform, which is only covered with a piece of burlap-like cloth. It is not much better than the ancient corpses just now...
If you think about it with normal thinking, it looks like the body of a personal slave who was sacrificed for burial, or the body of a stable boy...
"That's the one, that's him...
Oops...that's the King of Martial Arts Jifa you're looking for!!
That’s his old man’s golden body!!”,
Fat Wei's voice could not be lowered, and his voice even trembled a little. He pointed to the location under the stone platform!
"It's engraved on it. I've read it 10,000 times and it's unmistakable!!"
"What……",
Chen Zhi's head buzzed instantly. He couldn't believe it. He immediately used a searchlight to shine on that location. Sure enough, he saw a small line of writing carved on the stone platform~~
[The King of Wu of Zhou Kaiguo, Jue Ji Fa]
The handwriting is exactly the same as that on the memorial tablet in Xiqi Ancestral Hall, so there is no doubt about its authenticity.
"Is this King Wu?
Ji Fa?
that's all……"
Only then did Chen Zhi take a serious look at the inconspicuous corpse.
Sure enough, compared to the other 13 corpses, this corpse was the freshest, covered from beginning to end with a tattered linen cloth.
A section of the arm was exposed, and the flesh was still fresh, as if it had just died.
The arm looks a bit old, with some age spots on it, and the palm is thick. It can be seen that when he was young, he was a person who was good at holding a heavy knife.
Real martial arts practitioners are very strong. Even in their old age, their muscles are still stronger than those of ordinary people.
It was indeed a very thick arm, but it was already covered with numerous scars, one on top of another.
It’s hard to imagine how many wars and life-and-death situations he experienced during his lifetime.
And above the linen, you can see some hair exposed. The hair is gray and looks somewhat similar to the old leader.
This is an old man who is not very old...
There are records in Chinese history that King Ji of Zhou Wu occurred in 1043 BC. His surname and given name were Fa, and bronze inscriptions often called him Jue.
His father is Jichang, King Wen of Xiqi, and his mother's name is Taisi, a native of Qizhou.
Ji Fa was the founding monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He had a strong personality and fought countless battles in his life. He took the lead in military affairs and overthrew the Shang Dynasty with his martial arts and martial arts skills.
He was only forty-five years old when he died, and was revered by later generations as an ancient Mingjun.
Before coming, Chen Zhi had imagined many times what the tomb of King Wu Jifa would look like.
I have imagined his tall statue and his monument of merit.
I have also imagined what his coffin looks like. It may be very luxurious with gold and jade, or it may be very simple, black and solemn.
But I never thought it would be like this...
This is so heartbreaking...
A lonely manuscript, a corpse wrapped in horse leather.
It makes people unable to bear even a word of criticism.
This ancient monarch who fought for his whole life and fought for the human world really didn’t want anything...
No one will do it to this extent.
Chen Zhi has seen many hypocritical kings. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, pretend to have no desires, be simple and self-denying, and pretend not to care about the judgment of future generations.
But in the tombs behind them, we can still see their full desires. Gold, silver, pearls and jade, singing their praises, filled these people's tombs.
But no one would be like this, no monarch could be like him.
Until the last moment of his life, he was still a simple warrior...
Chen Zhi suddenly felt his head feel heavy. He put his hands on the stone platform and felt a sad feeling in his heart.
He didn't want to lift the cover on King Wu Jifa's face, he knew that he would see a tough and traumatized face.
Just like the old leader and the samurai of Xiqi throughout the ages.
That kind of face full of heroic spirit will make him look even more humble.
Everything in front of him was completely different from what he expected...
He knew that such a Zhou Wu King Ji Fa would not do those things.
This is a simple, upright, stubborn and principled soldier. He is not greedy for glory. He fights for his persistence throughout his life and is respected by people.
Such a person would not bribe Jiang Ziya with huge profits, nor would he collude with Jiang Ziya to kill his own father and brother, and then put the blame on King Zhou of Shang and the Nine-tailed Sky Fox.
So..., maybe they were on the wrong path from the very beginning.
Maybe the person who reached an agreement with Jiang Ziya at that time was not Ji Fa at all.
