People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 234 A mistake

"Master Chen, have you discovered anything?" As soon as Hu Ba saw Chen Ziyan's expression change, he knew what he was thinking of and asked.

Regardless of whether it was him, Shirley Yang, or Ding Sixian, due to the lack of information they knew, they could only translate the superficial meaning of the mural, but could not decipher the deep information hidden in it.

In fact, even if Chen Ziyan didn't make any noise just now, Hu Bayi, who was unable to make any progress in a short period of time, planned to call him over to help.

"If I guess correctly, this man in rich clothes should be King Mu of Zhou, and the woman in front of him is the Sheng Ji we saw in the Hades Palace. King Zhou Mu gave Sheng Ji what he got from the bronze door.

, this should also be the real reason why Sheng Ji faked her death and built this ghost tomb." Chen Ziyan pointed to the last mural and said.

While speaking, he secretly gave an order to Wushuang Ghost, telling him to go to the door and block it.

He didn't forget that they were not the only ones here, and what happened next was not suitable for those people to know.

"Why are there so many changes in this mural? It looks like the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West. The more I listen to it, the more confused I become."

At this time, Wang Kaixuan also came over and asked with some confusion.

This guy Shen Rong spoke impeccably, but Wang Kaixuan's conversation was too boring, so he just came over to listen to the story.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he got closer, he heard another version different from the previous one.

Hu Bayi also lamented: "Yes, I only saw four murals in total, but none of them were the same."

Chen Ziyan discovered that this was really the case.

Counting from the first mural they saw in the temple, this was the fourth time they had seen murals, but the contents of these murals were all different.

Although some places are similar, more places are contradictory.

Just like the first mural, what is depicted on it is: the noble accidentally discovered the bronze door leading to the fairy world, and obtained the method of immortality from it. The noble led his people to build a temple, and it has been here for generations.

Guard the bronze door.

But in the second mural of the temple, another content is recorded. Although the first part is still the same, there are changes later. The temple is dedicated to the nobles themselves, and the nobles who have obtained the method of eternal life boast of themselves.

For God.

Although the murals in these two temples are different, the general context is still the same.

However, the murals discovered later in the Ghost Tomb had completely changed their appearance.

Let’s first talk about the relief carved on the inside of the stone coffin. It says that this place was accidentally discovered by King Mu of Zhou Dynasty. Then he asked his beloved and trusted Sheng Ji to fake her death and guard the bronze door here.

The obviously incomplete mural in front of us can be connected with the contents in the stone coffin, but there are only some fragments here, and it is impossible to make a more detailed comparison.

After recalling the contents of these murals, Chen Ziyan said: "Isn't it our fun to uncover the historical truth hidden in the fog?"

These people go to the grave not only to seek money, but also to enjoy the process of stripping away and restoring the truth bit by bit.

At least that's the case with Chen Ziyan.

He used to feel that if he knew all the original plot, this kind of adventure would be much less fun.

But now it seems that he has thought too much. There are countless secrets hidden in this world, and the journey of exploration will never end.

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, before Hu Bayi said anything, Shirley Yang nodded in agreement: "This is the greatest charm of exploration. The reason why I joined National Geographic is because I want to go

Go on adventures around the world.”

This woman, who is full of adventure elements in her bones, fully agrees with Chen Ziyan's words.

If it weren't for the family curse and her father's disappearance, she might have decided where to explore.

"Okay, we'll talk about these later, let's continue talking about these murals now." Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Chen Ziyan brought the topic back on track.

He looked at the second mural and said: "I don't know if you have noticed that King Mu of Zhou in this mural, that is, the man in gorgeous clothes, did not show any respect when he faced the bronze door, or even

There is also a vague feeling of dominance.”

Others also looked at the mural again and found that, as Chen Ziyan said, there was no hint of respect in the posture of the man in rich clothes on the mural.

"It seems that this is really the case. Doesn't this overturn the records of the previous temple?" Hu Bayi asked doubtfully.

If this is really the case, then the biggest contradiction between here and the temple will appear.

Regardless of the outcome of the murals in the temple, the previous ones were mainly about the gods giving away the method of eternal life, but according to Chen Ziyan's thinking, it is more like forcing the other party to hand over the method of eternal life.

Chen Ziyan said: "Perhaps we can think about it in a different way. Were the predecessors of the temple and the ghost tomb really built by one person?"

"Not the same person?" Ding Sitian asked: "With two buildings so close together, they couldn't be built separately by two people, right?"

Hu Bayi vaguely understood what Chen Ziyan meant and said: "It's really not impossible. At the Ghost Tomb, based on the reliefs on the inside of the stone coffin, we can basically confirm that it was made by King Mu of Zhou. But in the temple, it only says

It was built by a noble, and this noble could be King Mu of Zhou, but it could also be someone else!"

Thinking along this line of thinking, Shirley Yang also said: "As for nobles, according to records, Sheng Ji is also a noble. Is it possible that the temple was built by her?"

Judging from the length and power of King Zhou Mu, it would be difficult for someone to start construction in the place he cares about. But if this person is Sheng Ji who is responsible for guarding this place, then things will become simpler.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, a flash of light flashed in Hu Bayi's mind, and he immediately said: "If the temple was built by Sheng Ji, then it can be explained. Have you found out that the murals in the temple have a certain influence on the nobles?"

The description is very vague, and there are no clear male and female characteristics. I didn't pay attention to this before, but now I think about it, it may be that the gender is deliberately blurred."

Later, he expressed his conjecture: "We will temporarily combine these murals so that we can get a complete development chain."

"First, King Mu of Zhou accidentally discovered the bronze door, and then got some kind of treasure from inside. Now it seems that it should be a scroll on the mural. And for some unknown reason, he gave this scroll to his beloved Sheng

Ji, and pretended that the other party had died of illness, and built a building here that looked like a mausoleum but was actually an underground palace to guard the bronze door he discovered."

"But something unexpected happened later. Sheng Ji built a temple next to it and raised a nest of black-faced cockroaches to serve as her envoys."

Hu Bayi is equivalent to making a preliminary edit of the content of the mural to make it coherent.

However, it can be regarded as a crooked approach and is close to the real situation.
