Chapter 234 A hit-and-miss
"Mr. Chen, have you discovered anything?" Hu Ba knew what Chen Ziyan was thinking of as soon as he saw Chen Ziyan's expression change, so he asked.
Both he and Shirley Yang and Ding Sixian, due to lack of information, 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 couldn't make any progress in a short period of time, also 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 Mu of Zhou got it from the bronze door The thing was given to Sheng Ji, which should be the real reason why Sheng Ji faked her death and built this ghost tomb." Chen Ziyan pointed to the last mural.
While speaking, he secretly gave Wushuanggui an order to go to the door and block it.
He has not forgotten that they are not the only ones here, and what follows is not suitable for those people to know.
"Why are these murals so varied? They look just like the white-bone demon in Journey to the West. The more I listen, the more confused I become."
At this time, Wang Kaixuan also came over, asked somewhat puzzled.
This guy Shen Rong speaks impeccably. Wang Kaixuan's chat is 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 sighed with emotion: "Yes, I only saw four murals in total, and 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 is the fourth time they have seen murals, but the contents of these murals are all different.
Although some places are similar, more places are contradictory.
Just like the first mural, the content described above 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 obtains eternal life. The nobles of the Dharma claimed to be gods.
Although the two temple murals are different, the general context is still the same.
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. Then he asked his favorite and trusted Sheng Ji to fake her death and guard the bronze door here.
The obviously incomplete mural in front of me 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.
Recalling the content of these murals, Chen Ziyan said: "Isn't it our fun to uncover the historical truth hidden in the fog?"
They go to the tomb not only to seek wealth. , it’s more about enjoying the process of stripping away and restoring the truth bit by bit.
At least that’s the case for 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 what Chen Ziyan said, before Hu Bayi said anything, Shirley Yang nodded in agreement: "This is the greatest charm of adventure. The reason why I joined National Geographic Magazine, I just want to go on adventures all over the world.”
This woman, who is full of adventure elements, fully agrees with Chen Ziyan’s words.
If it weren’t for the family curse and the disappearance of her father, she might have decided where to explore.
"Okay, we will 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 wonder 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, and even There is still a vague feeling of dominance.”
Others also looked at the mural again and found that, as Chen Ziyan said, there was nothing visible about the posture of the man in rich clothes. Taste of respect.
"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.
No matter what the outcome of the murals in the temple are, the front ones are mainly about 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 one person?" Ding Sitian asked: "With two buildings so close together, they couldn't have been built separately by two people, right?"
Hu Bayi vaguely understood what Chen Ziyan meant, and said: "It's really not impossible, Ghost Tomb Based on the reliefs on the inside of the stone coffin, we can basically determine that it was built by King Mu of Zhou, but the temple only said that it was built by a noble. 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 King Zhou Mu's reign and power, 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 on 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 must be that the gender was deliberately blurred."
Then he expressed his guess: " We temporarily combined these murals so that we can get a complete development chain."
"First, King Zhou Mu accidentally discovered the bronze door, and then got some kind of treasure from it. Now it seems that it should be. It was a scroll on a mural, and for some unknown reason, he gave this scroll to his beloved Sheng Ji, and pretended that she 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 happened later, Sheng Ji built a temple next to it and raised a nest of black-faced cockroaches as a symbol. His own messenger."
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 shot and is close to the real situation.
