I Created an Ancient Salvation Organization

"That's right!"

Looking at the shocking crowd, Elder An Dong nodded slowly: "According to our understanding of the outside world, the Monkey God is indeed called the Monkey King in your name."

At this moment, Chen Shuo and Professor Feng seemed to have countless thunders blasting in their minds, and even they themselves didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment.

Although it has long been known that folk myths and legends are likely to have prototypes in history, when this statue came out, it still shocked them.

Because of his fame, it is really too big!

Not to mention the cultural circle of the Yan Kingdom, in fact, even in the West, quite a few people know the images of "themokeyking" and "wukong".

For example, the movie "King of Kung Fu", the game "Beyond Good and Evil" and "leagueoflegends".

Looking at the corner of the holy shield symbol exposed by the hand holding the stick, they realized once again that the behemoth named "Holy Shield" left deep traces in human history.

Seeing that everyone couldn't get back to their senses, Wang Yalu said coldly:

"In the 1990s, the elders took the risk of being discovered and secretly ran down the mountain, used the jade dug in the mountain, bought a generator, a TV and a satellite pot and came back, just to watch the 1988 version of the "Journey to the West" TV series."

"Now that there are hydroelectric generators and advanced electronic equipment, the elder has read all the movies and books about the Monkey King that he can find."

A little embarrassment appeared on Elder Anton's face.

Chen Shuo and others thought about it, it seems that this is the legendary fanatic who has reached the pinnacle.

"Elder Anton." Professor Feng with gray hair suddenly said, "Is this statue built by your ancestors more than a thousand years ago?"

The elder heard something strange: "That's right. Our ancestors started construction after the destruction of the demon kingdom, but due to the small number of people and insufficient strength, it took more than 20 years to finally complete the project."

Hearing the answer, Professor Feng nodded heavily and said with great emotion: "I finally figured it out, the truth of history turned out to be like this."

Chen Shuo immediately looked solemn: "Professor Feng, what did you find?"

Along the way, everyone knows that this older expert in Tang and Song history has profound skills and never fails to aim for nothing.

Therefore, this sentimental remark attracted so much attention from Chen Shuo.

Professor Feng turned his head and explained, "Actually, when I was discussing Wu Sinian in the tent just now, I already had an immature idea, and I was about to talk when the Minotaur attacked and interrupted me."

After a brief recollection, everyone remembered that this was indeed the case.

"We said earlier that Wu Sinian may have joined the Holy Shield organization when he was an official in the Anxi Protectorate. Now we know that Sun Wukong is also a member of the Holy Shield."

Professor Feng pointed to the Aegis sign on the statue and said.

Chen Shuo and the others nodded, waiting for his next words.

And Professor Feng did not sell off his words, and said word by word: "I have a friend who is also a professor of history. His hobby is to study the evolution of the content of "Journey to the West". When the two of us were chatting, he once told me about relevant knowledge ."

"We all know today that the earliest source of the content of this story is actually "The Story of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Xuanzang's disciple Bian Ji. There is no new content related to the story of Journey to the West〃々.”

"And in the "Da Tang Sanzang Collection of Scriptures" engraved in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Huaguo Mountain Monkey Walkers have joined the team, and Da Brahma is the blesser of the collection."

"In this original version, the main role of the monkey walker is only to act as an intermediary between the Tang monk and the representative of the "Great Brahma". In addition, the monkey walker described at that time is just empty fists against the enemy, and there is no wishful gold. Hoop."

"It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that various scriptures and dramas further improved the image of the monkey walker, such as having sticks and weapons, etc., but in terms of character modeling, it has a very bad demon."

"And what kind of character are those who can become members of the Holy Shield? I don't need to say more if I think about it. Such a character image obviously does not conform to the prototype."

"However, in the Ming Dynasty, when Wu Chengen collected folklore and compiled it into "Journey to the West", the situation has undergone considerable changes."

"First of all, in terms of personality, he eliminated the demonic nature in folklore, and more of the divinity, or the radiance of human nature, appeared, and in terms of appearance, it also highly overlapped with the statue in front of him."

"Everyone, please think about it."

"The statue in front of me is the prototype of Monkey King, but until the publication of "Journey to the West", the image circulated among the people for hundreds of years has been far from it."

"But when I got to Wu Cheng'en, the image was suddenly pulled back, and the degree of overlap was so high. Tell me, why is this?"

Speaking of which, thinking and doubt coexisted in everyone's eyes, and they felt as if they understood something, but they felt that there was a missing link in the middle, and some explanations were incomprehensible.

"Here, I have to add a digression."

On Professor Feng's slightly aged face, there was a rosy redness that was surging from excitement.

"We were in the Mazarboha Grotto yesterday and saw a lot of damage on the newly discovered frescoes. Do you remember? On one of the fragments, there is only a black column with a half angle at the end. golden texture."

"We didn't understand what it was at the time, but now that we think about it, it's probably the Ruyi golden hoop that has grown larger. That is to say, the Great Sage was in that battle at that time, and the terrifying crack on the ground was probably caused by it. "

"This leads to my next argument."

"Even if we assume that the frescoes in the Mazarboha Grottoes were not destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen knew the contents of the frescoes through unknown channels, and thus knew the true image of the Great Sage."

"But why does he vaguely know the brilliance of the Great Sage's humanity? How does he know the character of the Great Sage?"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Professor Feng tried his best to suppress his excitement and talked about another thing: "The headquarters has already found out that Wu Sinian is from the Wu family in Changmen."

"In the Guanghua period of the Tang Dynasty, that is, from 898 to 901, Wu Wangxiu, the 71st generation grandson of the Wu family in Changmen, served as the magistrate of Shexian County and migrated here, and the descendants gradually flourished."

"Wu Zhang, the 84th generation grandson of the Wu family here, became an official in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son was Wu Wei. In the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, when Kyushu was in turmoil, Wu Wei fled the famine all the way to the south of Tongcheng County to avoid military disasters. In the territory of Gaodian Township, Gaodian Wu Clan was created."

Professor Feng's eyes were bright, he took a deep breath, and finally said word by word: "And Wu Cheng'en is a child of the Wu clan in Gaodian, Tongcheng! His ancestors were members of the Holy Shield!"

boom……

Another blockbuster exploded in the minds of the expedition team.

"History... So it is." The middle-aged professor clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

"Journey to the West" and its original legends have been circulating in the Yan Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, but who would have thought that such tortuous stories and truths were hidden in the depths.

They unraveled one of the veils of history with their own hands, and finally got a little closer to the mysterious ancient extraordinary organization of the Holy Shield.

But this process is like watching a mountain.

When you are far away, you only feel the normal size, but when you get closer, you will find that it is so towering, majestic and vast, just the shadow it casts is enough to cover the earth.

And when you look up in the shadow, and with all your eyesight, you can only see a few corners of it.

After saying the words that had been held in his heart, Professor Feng was obviously much more relaxed. He let out a sigh of relief, and added in a peaceful voice with a taste of time and a little imagination:

"The ancient clans of the Yan Kingdom paid most attention to the inheritance of knowledge. During the war period, gold and silver can be lost, real estate and fields can be lost, but the books handed down by the ancestors cannot be lost."

"After Wu Sinian returned home, although he did not tell others about his experience with the Holy Shield, he should have left some records in the books, but such a ghost may be like his dying words, and no one can understand it. its meaning."

"Hundreds of years later, a disciple of the Wu family in Gaodian, who loves myths and stories, was unable to enter officialdom in his later years because of the difficulties of the eunuch, and wrote a book behind closed doors based on the collected folk stories."

"One afternoon, the setting sun slanted into the study, and the birds were chirping outside. Stuck in his thoughts, he stood up, stretched, and flipped through the books handed down by the family for inspiration."

"Suddenly, he noticed an ancient book in the corner that he had never read before."

"He picked up the book, brushed off the dust, and opened the yellowed paper industry. An image that was clearly related to folklore, but very different, finally spanned hundreds of years and caught his eye."

Professor Feng looked at the towering statue in front of him, and in a completely different tone, said the words that Chen Shuo had just blurted out: "¨'That is...the Great Sage Monkey King."

"Clap clap..."

Wang Yalu next to him was fascinated, and now he didn't rush to ask about the Holy Shield information, but applauded softly.

Tang You's projection is also with a touch of appreciation.

These figures who have studied history for decades should not be underestimated. With only some trivial clues, they can find out the truth of history.

Under the closure of the time line, although the subsequent objective development of the changed history and the unaltered history are basically the same, many hidden meanings have been changed.

In today's history, the birth of Monkey King, Journey to the West, was indeed influenced by Wu Sinian, as Professor Feng said, that is, influenced by the Holy Shield.

"But...just here, the truth is not over yet. Some of the 'truths' that you don't know are beyond what I imagined when I was in the Tang Dynasty. I can only say...it's a coincidence."

Tang You muttered to himself.

When he was thinking about it, Chen Shuo and others looked at Wang Yalu who applauded as if awake.

After the latter asked Elder An Dong for instructions, he got a nod in response, and just turned his head and said, "About what you said just now, we want you to see something."

She snapped her fingers as she spoke, and on the wall near the statue, flames ignited at intervals, illuminating the things on the wall.

When everyone in the scientific expedition team saw the many simple murals, their eyes lit up and they quickly walked over to observe.

The style of painting is very simple, and it is better than the original mural, but it shows the core content.

In this regard, everyone also understands that this is because the population of this ethnic group is too small, and the productivity in ancient times was not high, so it was difficult to produce excellent painters.

The original mural depicts a man on a camel, with two walkers, heading towards the herdsmen's residence in the col in a blizzard. One of the walkers was clearly a monk.

"This is……"

Chen Shuo looked at Wang Yalu suspiciously.

"This is the scene of our ancestors, who first encountered the Aegis. We don't have much history and culture, so even if these contents are passed down from generation to generation, we can still remember them clearly."

Wang Yalu explained.

Her fierceness and badness just now had all disappeared, leaving only a strange color in her eyes.

Elder An Dong added: "Accurately speaking, it is the ancestor of Yalu. Later, because of the war, he migrated south to the original underground country and lived with our ancestors."

Hearing this, Wang Yalu nodded, indicating that it was true, and then continued:

"At that time, the wind and snow were blowing, and the man in the Tsing Yi Shizi's gown of the Tang Dynasty, riding a camel, with a monk who returned from Tianzhu, and a traveler from the far west of the country, met my ancestors in the Wakhan Corridor. ."

"The man in Tsing Yi gave spices and tea, hoping to stay overnight. Faced with such an expensive gift, of course my ancestors happily agreed and warmly entertained Gou."

Wang Yalu pointed to the next mural and continued: "The next day, when the blizzard stopped, they bought three more horses with gold and silver, and went in the direction of Datang."

...

ps: When I wrote about the Yuanpantuo people in the story of traveling through time and space, I must have felt that I was in the water. At this moment, I exposed the foreshadowing. I hope everyone can have more confidence in me. .
