The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

"Although I am not very good at culture and history, I know that prophets are rarely mentioned in the official history of literature. The strange people who can predict the future and compile strange books are collectively called saints, or fortune tellers. As for prophets, they are usually cut off as soon as they emerge."

Cen Jin's words are not made up. The Huaxia Dynasty is very taboo about seditious identities and speeches such as prophets and prophecies. Whoever dares to stand out and claim to follow the will of heaven and leak the secrets of the sky will be directly chopped off.

But it’s not that there are no prophets, but they usually appear in other identities, pursuing low-key behavior and staying away from politics.

Taking a step back, there is really a Chinese official history that included the prophet in the anthology. This person should not be King Mu of Zhou. The "Book of Changes" compiled by his father, King Wen of Zhou, is much more famous. The first divine book.

King Mu of Zhou can stand out in the 5000-year history of China thanks to his "Mu Tianzi Biography". This book describes his love with the Queen Mother of the West on the surface, but it is actually a travelogue that records the geographical locations such as Kunlun and Ghost Kingdom in China.

In general, neither King Mu of Zhou's own experience nor the literature related to him has anything to do with the Prophet.

"Moreover, the so-called prophet is known innately, born with knowledge, and the perception is correct, and there is no error."

"You are right. There is indeed no written record in the official history of China that King Mu of Zhou was a prophet, because he hid behind the strange people and wonders of the past, and hid himself well." Huang Jiang raised his hand and pointed to the bookshelf on the front wall. : "There are authentic works left by Emperor Mu, to be precise, his travel notes, you can also read it as a personal diary."

Cen Jin looked in the direction she was pointing at, and saw a dusty shoebox that was used as a tripod in the corner of the bookshelf. The lid of the box had been opened, obviously Huang Jiang checked it just now.

He didn't take the initiative to check the shoebox, but looked sideways at Huang Jiang: "Continue talking."

Huang Jiang: "The first row of bamboo slips in the shoebox is Mu Tianzi's first personal diary. He claims to know from birth, is extremely intelligent, and can often accurately predict what will happen in the future.

When he was young, a group of people persuaded his father, King Zhou Zhao, to successfully take away Emperor Mu and cultivate his innate prophetic ability, teaching him martial arts and military talents.Therefore, most of the literary and historical records about Mu Tianzi began after he succeeded to the throne, and his life was quite legendary. The following descriptions are recorded in various official and unofficial histories of China.

Emperor Mu enacted laws, quelled civil strife, and made the country develop and stabilize, so he began to conquer the south and west. In just a few years, he conquered the dog, Rong, Huai, Yi and other countries, and the Zhou Dynasty returned to prosperity in his hands.

The following records tend to be legendary and full of mythology.

In the 14th year of Mu Tianzi, he summoned a strange man with superb illusion skills, and was bewitched by him and decided to travel westward.On the way to the west, he met a Yanshi who was good at making real dolls. He walked with him and invited him into the palace.

In the 17th year of Emperor Mu, he went west to Kunlun, crossed Ruoshui, entered Yaochi, met the Queen Mother of the West and fell in love with her.Later, there was a rebellion in the country, and King Mu of Zhou had to return to the court to quell it. He agreed with the Queen Mother of the West to go back within three years, but he did not return to Kunlun until his death.

It is said that he lived to be 105 years old. Later, many unofficial legends believed that he lived so long only after taking the longevity pill given by the Queen Mother of the West. "

Cen Jin: "It sounds like King Mu of Zhou is a majestic emperor, but he is not a prophet."

He paused, took out a few packs of compressed biscuits from his backpack and threw them over.

"Eat."

Yu Wen and Huang Jiang caught the compressed biscuits respectively. The latter looked at the biscuits and water, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you human?"

"Can't Weird like to eat human food?"

Huang Jiang and the others were stunned, of course because they had never seen it before, and in the weird recipes of human beings, it is impossible to think that the weird and human recipes overlap.

"Fuss."

Yu Wen thought while tearing open the packing bag, this Ye Youshen doesn't seem weird, but full of human flavor, and the three sentences are full of barbed complaints.

"I didn't finish." Huang Jiang gave up the real identity of the white coat, biting a biscuit and said, "Remember the Quanrong I mentioned? King Mu of Zhou conquered Quanrong twice, and Quanrong was originally called Gui Fang. Fang, The country, Gui Fang, is the country of ghosts in modern Chinese. Wu Ding defeated the ghosts and conquered them for three years. Later, he moved to the Sichuan-Gansu area and became a country of his own, with close contacts with Kunlun at home.

During the period of King Zhao of Zhou and King Mu of Zhou, the Ghost Fang often invaded the border, arresting children and women for cruel sacrifices. King Zhou Mu defeated the ghost twice. "

Cen Jin interrupted her: "Ghost Fang is the ghost kingdom of Queen Mother of the West? The prototype of the current Kunlun Kingdom?"

"Distinguish Ghost Fang from the Ghost Kingdom in Kunlun, the ghost country at this time is just a force cultivated by the Queen Mother of the West. It is a human being who traded with the Queen Mother of the West in order to defeat the Zhou Dynasty. A digression, the citizens of Ghost Fang like to wear a There are three-eyed ghost masks, and it is rumored that they are Zongmu people, the messengers of the Queen Mother of the West."

Onifang Guomin wears a three-eyed mask and is a rumored Zongmuren.

In the Ghost Kingdom Chapter of Shan Hai Jing, the ghost country people depicted have only one eye, also known as Zongmu people.

It turned out that the two parties were not of the same species, Cen Jin was thoughtful.

Huang Jiang continued: "King Mu of Zhou learned about the existence of the Queen Mother of the West and Kunlun in Hainei through the ghost square, and he had the idea of ​​conquering Kunlun in Hainei. He suffered from not knowing the geographical location of Kunlun in Hainei. So he searched for strange people and strangers. With their help, King Mu of Zhou finally found Hainei. Kunlun, meet the Queen Mother of the West."

Cen Jin guessed according to the routine: "Then they started to fall in love, and King Mu of Zhou failed Queen Mother Xi. Because of love, Queen Mother vowed to turn all human beings into citizens of the ghost country?"

"I wish it were as simple as that." Huang Jiang smiled wryly: "There is only interest involved between King Mu of Zhou and Queen Mother Xi, they take advantage of each other, and there is no love. The meeting between the two parties has been a chess game of 'please enter the urn' from the very beginning."

***

Kunlun, the ruins of the ghost country.

Contrary to the expectations of Tu Teng and others, the ghost country site is not a gloomy place, nor is it the imaginary Kunlun fairy mountain, like a dream, but a bronze city floating in the air.

A huge city made entirely of bronze. From houses to streets and bridges, from handicrafts to large decorations, all are rusty and discolored bronzes. The craftsmanship is so exquisite that even modern machines cannot smelt so much. bronze.

Totem and others stood on a bronze tower, looking into the distance, both physically and mentally were overwhelmed by this majestic building, and fell into a deep shock.

The original color of bronze is bright golden yellow. It is not difficult to imagine how splendid Kunlun in China was in its heyday. It is simply the pinnacle of human art.

And they also saw very cyberpunk buildings such as bronze mechanical bridges, automatic smoke-exhausting candlesticks, and even delicate gears.

People who are accustomed to modern machinery can't help feeling surprised when they enter this city, not to mention the ordinary people who strayed into Kunlun in China 3000 years ago, naturally regarded it as a fairyland.

Any miraculous and inconceivable items are put into the fairy world, and everything becomes reasonable.

Having said that, it's no wonder that Huaxia's bronze smelting technology has been so proficient as early as 4000 years ago.

Ye Shengying whistled and said, "It's so cool. How can you bring this huge bronze city to reality?"

"With only a few of us, the chances are slim." The old ghost said.

"If the switch of the golden gate is under our control, and we can freely enter and exit, we can send troops in to dismantle the city, and then find a place to reassemble it." Totem said a way.

Old Xiong: "It's hard to guess. Who can withstand the opening, closing, and dragon's roar? Mountains collapse, avalanches and rivers flood back, which means that there are no people living around, otherwise it will be a major disaster."

Ye Shengying put her hips on her hips, coveting the Bronze City: "Don't talk about the value of research, how much is the ticket price just to move it out. Once this thing is moved out, the whole world will be shocked by the wealth of our Huaxia family."

"No matter how thick it is, it can't be built. The weirdness produced by a group of urban legends + new gods and new sects in Ugly Country is disgusting and difficult. The key point is of no research value. Almost all people believe in Christ, but they can't catch an ancient god. They covet other gods every day. The gods of the ancient country. As soon as we move out of the Bronze City, they will be able to send countless spies over the mountains and mountains to steal." The old bear said carelessly.

Old ghost: "The Bald Eagle Kingdom is indeed shameless. Many spies sent in over the years have been arrested, and they have also instigated many Huaxia students from the University of Michigan. I heard that some time ago, the Bald Eagle Kingdom stole an Asura in Bharat. Martial law was imposed on Bharat from top to bottom, and several sects suspected each other and started a magic war, causing heavy casualties."

"Ah Chou has committed a lot of crimes." Ye Shengying sighed without sympathy.

She jumped onto the railing of the high tower and made a dive posture: "I saw the group of Zongmu people wearing masks, catch up and catch one to find out the truth."

After finishing speaking, he jumped down, like a cheetah jumping across the scattered urban high-rises, residential alleyways, Laogui and others followed behind, Totem fell at the end, suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Man passing through an alleyway not far away, Then immediately catch up.

The street was empty, and the totem stood still for two seconds, stepping on the bronze wall with its toes, stepping on a high place as if walking on level ground, and stepped on a blue bird-shaped roof beast, with fiery red Buddha seals burning at the corners of its eyes and between its eyebrows, and the pupils of its eyes sharpened. It shrinks, showing a little mung bean-sized red inside, and a golden ring outside.

The yellow ring protects the red dots, which are the two classic colors of Tantric Buddhism that symbolize the joy of life and death.

And the buildings he saw all turned white, representing dead things, the red ones representing living things, and the yellow ones representing neither human nor dead, that is, irrational and weird, like an infrared heat detector with accurate detection. sense instrument.

This is the extraordinary technique of the totem, Sequence 50, named 'Chakra'.

Tantric chakra technique can cut off yin and yang.

The eyeballs move to the right and land behind a bronze seven-story cornice tower in the upper right front, three yellow and one red.

The totem leaned forward, fell straight, and suddenly turned over three meters above the ridge of a house, and landed on the ridge with both feet. In an instant, it flew out like a cannonball. To the back, like a sand gull falling vertically with its arms open, grabbing a corner of the eaves and using the inertial force of the downward rush to bounce itself onto it, squatting firmly on the corner of the eaves, with the red shadow reflected in the pupils of the eyes kicking the yellow shadow in front of the left, A yellow shadow that landed behind him slit his throat with a backflip.

The yellow shadow on the upper right rushed forward angrily, and was thrown out by an invisible force, followed by a crisp bone cracking sound, the spine and skull were crushed by the power displayed by the red shadow.

Huang Ying on the front left glared at Hong Ying: "You betrayed the Mother God, and the Mother God will not forgive you!"

After saying that, it turned and fled.

Hong Ying watched it run away, went to a bronze tree beside the street, broke off a branch, took a few steps to throw the bronze branch out, pierced Hong Ying with a 'thud' and dragged it for about ten meters, dying Nailed to the wall.

After killing Huang Ying, Hong Ying clapped her hands, turned around and said, "Have you seen enough? Totem."

Totem's eyes were fixed, and the next moment he returned to normal, he jumped down: "Zhou Man?"

That's right, Hong Ying is Zhou Man, he is actually human?

However, it may also be a high-level weirdness with living creature attributes.

Totem: "You cooperated with the Queen Mother of the West, and now you are betraying?"

Zhou Man smiled: "Don't say that, I am ready to backstab anytime."

Totem: "Are you human or weird?"

Zhou Man: "I used to be human." He waved his hand and said, "Okay kid, I don't want to fight with you. Speaking of which, we have the same goal, and I can still be regarded as the ancestor of your friends."

Totem looked at him calmly, unmoved: "First explain your motives for killing people and killing tricks."

"Are you referring to the group of adventurers in the square? No way, human blood is needed to open the dragon gate. This is the underworld design of the Queen Mother of the West, unless the gate is changed." Seeing the deepening of the Buddha's seal on the totem's face, the intention to kill him is obvious, Zhou Man I had to wave my hands to explain clearly: "The group of adventurers has been specially screened, so they are all scumbags. I am really on your side, at least 3000 years ago and now."

"You haven't explained the motive of killing Gui." Totem was very persistent.

Zhou Man complained: "Do you have to explain Shagui? Why are you children from the Tantric School so stubborn? This is the rumored Zongmuren, the first force of the Queen Mother of the West. Yes, the first force she cultivated was human beings." , she was also the first to implement and confirm that human beings can be alienated into weird gods when they climb out of the demon's belly."

Totem showed a slightly surprised expression.

Zhou Man: "Do you know what it means to change the limit one by one? The citizens of the ghost country and the people of the ghost country in the Kunlun of the sea are swapped one by one. The strange vertical eyes of the Yimu country are branded on the foreheads of the ghosts. Human beings have become an ironclad evidence of weirdness. Since then, the ghost mask worn on the face can no longer be taken off, and the people of Guifang have truly become the Zongmu people in the rumors. .”

Totem frowned: "You said before that when the Zongmu people were celebrating the festival, you recruited soldiers from outside the mountain to slaughter the Zongmu people. Now you say that they are the soldiers and horses of the Queen Mother of the West. How can people believe the lies?"

Zhou Man paused, his light-colored lips tightly pursed into a line, and his eyes were extremely indifferent, making it easy to feel his strong displeasure, as if this matter had touched a wound that he didn't want to talk about.

Disgust filled his full brows and eyes, and he said, "I didn't say this was a plan for the Zongmu people."

Totem: "What do you mean?"

"The ones who were deceived were the soldiers and horses outside the mountain, and that was a holiday gift for Zongmu people." Zhou Man showed self-loathing, turned his back, and walked forward, his eyes were full of misery and killing.

"I'm going to slaughter the Zongmu people. If you agree to cooperate, follow me. If you want to stop me, don't blame me for being cruel. A friend of Tantric Buddhism," he looked back at the totem, his expression was dim, and he kept walking: "To be honest, you are not me. expecting people."

***

"King Mu of Zhou and Queen Mother of the West used the name of love as a cover for their cooperation. The former gained longevity and strength, which helped the latter stand out from many strong opponents in Kunlun at home and fight for control of the Ghost Kingdom."

Huang Jiang pointed out: "Kunlun in China is a vast area, filled with countless strange and high-level gods. The Queen Mother of the West is one of the high-level gods who symbolizes the five punishments and killings of plagues. Kunlun in China at that time was similar to the division of princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although there was a Zhou emperor, there were constant disputes among small countries. , ready to usurp the country and the throne at any time, the Queen Mother of the West has little chance of winning.

Later, Guifang sacrificed to the Queen Mother of the West, and was noticed by the Queen Mother of the West, and at this time a rudimentary plan came into being in her heart.

Until King Mu of Zhou attacked Guifang twice, and then under the influence of illusionists and Yanshi, he suddenly ignored the country's major affairs, searched for Kunlun in the sea for no reason, passed through Ruoshui, was warmly welcomed by the people of Guifang, and then successfully met the Queen Mother of the West—all these It is a modified description, the real situation is more cruel.

In order for Ghost Fang to agree to take him to Kunlun to meet the Queen Mother of the West, King Mu of Zhou, in the name of hunting down ghosts, forcibly conscripted soldiers and horses from nearby vassal states to massacre the citizens of Ghost Fang during the festival.Believing it was true, the soldiers and horses of the princes rushed into the territory that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and were slaughtered by the people of Guifang.

They didn't know that this was a deal, a holiday gift from King Mu of Zhou to Guifang, and he was the one who opened the door to Queen Mother Xi's cooperation. "

Cen Jin commented: "People who play politics have a heart."

Huang Jiang stared straight at Cen Jin, she really felt that this strangeness was very familiar, just that aura, it was indescribable, a very special aura, like the feeling of salted fish after being exposed to the sun for seven days.

But I couldn't remember who it was.

In fact, she didn't know that Yeyoushen's full set of perverted equipment affected Cen Jin's temperament to a certain extent, diluting the strong depression and turning it into a slightly positive smell of lying flat salted fish.

"King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West reached a cooperation and quickly entered her era. First, "Mu Tianzi Biography" promoted the name of the God of Longevity and Auspiciousness of the Queen Mother of the West, and then used the love story of the infatuated goddess to draw her closer to human beings, and planned to eradicate her step by step. Other gods in Kunlun in China.

But during this period, the plan went wrong, and the Queen Mother of the West was seriously injured, so she had to flee from Kunlun, and used Gui Fang as the base of her re-established ghost country... Oh, her obsession is called Kunlun Kingdom.

King Mu of Zhou, as the first prophet around her, took advantage of Queen Mother Xi to recuperate from her injuries and feigned death to leave the identity of Emperor Mu and wander around the world.

For example, he compiled a story himself, saying that Dayu engraved the "Mountain and River Map" recording the location of Kunlun on Jiuding, so King Zhou Mu found Kunlun in China, and then actually cast a "Mountain and River Map", which fooled many people.

One of them is Lao Tzu, so there is a legend that Lao Tzu rode a green bull out of Hangu Pass to find Kunlun. Whether he found Kunlun in the end is not mentioned in the diary, so I don't know.

By the way, Lao Tzu's apprentice is Gui Guzi who later wrote a wonderful book. "

Cen Jin quickly digested the huge and complicated amount of information, tried to keep his head clear, and asked a question: "What is King Zhou Mu's purpose?"

At this time, only one light in the study flickered, and there were noises of footsteps approaching outside, and a strange one appeared in the window at some point, glaring at the three of them coldly, but the faces of the three inside did not change.

Huang Jiang lowered her eyes and said softly, "Use the Queen Mother of the West to slaughter all Kunlun in the sea."

"Kunlun in the sea is a nuclear bomb that threatens the land of China. Any god in it can kill all human beings, and they really don't like human beings. Because before the establishment of the human dynasty, they were once due to the strange relationship between them. Fighting and destroying human civilization.

In the face of the power of absolute deterrence, human beings have no other way.

Civilization has been destroyed once, and we have seen the power of high-level gods. If human beings want to survive with peace of mind, they must be eradicated. "

"King Mu of Zhou is indeed a prophet and does not work for the Queen Mother of the West. The group of people who cultivated his prophetic ability are people from our institution."

"He was the first prophet of our race."

...For 5000 years, there have been people who have been silently doing the work of eliminating weirdness. They hide among traffickers, generals and princes, and their beliefs will last forever.

Cen Jin slowly relieved the sullen feeling in his heart, and concluded: King Mu of Zhou was the first person in history.
