Chapter 71 Chapter 12: The Super Era Space Outside Chaoge City

The famous capital city of the Yin and Shang dynasties: Chaoge, was a huge, majestic and prosperous city before the demise of Shang Zhou. However, time and time are like the most ruthless and cruel predators. No matter what kind of brilliance you have had, what kind of ambitions and hegemony you have had, in the end, beauty will still become a skull. No matter how heroic you are, in the end, you are still just Into a bad loess. Wine pool meat forest, night and night singing. The long night feast and cup shadows intertwine. This place used to be the most prosperous place in the world, and it was also the place where a generation of heroic king Zhou and the peerless concubine Daji died.

This is also the place where the heroes of the Conferred Gods invaded after the "blood flow drifting pestle" regime change melee. At this time, Chaoge City was located in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the city was already full of wild grass and smoke. Standing on a high hill and looking up, the Ancient Chaoge City looks like a ruined old man waiting to die. It is no longer possible for people to imagine the excitement and youth of the past. "Look, there is the famous Xingxingtai," Yiyang Xuanyi said, pointing to a scorched high platform in Chaoge City, "It is said that King Zhou committed suicide by falling from there because he was unwilling to be bound. where."

"He is lecherous, cruel and ruthless," said the Dongguan Brigade, "This kind of unborn tyrant should have such retribution!" "It is possible that King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty was licentious and lustful. Once the emperors from ancient to modern times took power, who would be able to restrain themselves? If you say he is cruel and ruthless, that may be true, because a king always kills mountains and blood flows like rivers at every turn. It's just that this last king is always said to be an unpardonable god, treacherous and evil, but there is a big problem. "

"Is there a big problem?" Dongguan Lvqi asked: "Isn't Shang Zhou a tyrant?" "Whether it is a tyrant or not, of course the history books have their own judgments, but have you ever thought about the subjugated king of each dynasty, since the country has been subjugated, what kind of person will write his life?" The East Gate Brigade thought for a moment, then smiled and said. "Of course it is the monarch who takes over the dynasty." "That's right! Of course, the history will be written by the monarch of the next dynasty, because even if the descendants of the subjugated monarch are not dead on the spot, they will never have power again.

If the monarch of the next dynasty writes about the subjugated monarch, do you think there will be good things to say?No matter how the country was won, and no matter how many people died when the country was won, the new monarch always likes to say that it is because I am benevolent to the people and love things that the people come to attach to me. So la!In short, no matter what kind of person the king of subjugation is, as long as he is worse, it means that it is more logical for me to replace him. " "Are the kings of subjugation all slandered?" Dongguan Brigade asked suspiciously, "Aren't they really bad people?"

"I didn't say that they are not bad people," Yiyang Xuanyi said with a smile: "I just want to tell you that it is difficult to judge whether people are good or bad. A foolish tyrant or a wise king, in fact, because of different opportunities, it is very difficult to judge. Difficult to judge. Just because the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, as long as you lose the battle, people can say whatever they want. Now Shang Zhou is said to be a licentious and immoral king of subjugation, but don't forget that when his ancestor Shang Tang defeated Xia Jie, he said the same reason.

Shang Zhou had Pao Pao, and Xia Jie also had Pao Pao. Shang Zhou cut open the old man's feet for fun, and Xia Jie also cut open the feet of people. How can there be such a clever way in the world?All the same kings of subjugation, all the same cannons and amputated feet? Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the battle of conferring the gods is over. What a tragic war it was when Chaoge City was invaded back then. The people were their masters, and I don't know how many people were killed or injured. How could there be a legend of "blood flowing and drifting"?

But if you look up the ancestral history of King Zhou, the superiors will tell you that when King Wu defeated Zhou, "All the people supported him", and even the people shouted at each other, and the people in the east shouted: "Come and beat us first!" ’ The people in the west shouted again: ‘No, hit us first! '... Tell me, is there such a nasty thing in the world? " The Dongguan Brigade was slightly startled, shook his head and smiled. "It doesn't really sound reasonable." "Where is it unreasonable, it is simply unreasonable," Yiyang Xuanyi said loudly: "The good is so good that it becomes a sage, the good is so good that it flies into the sky, and the bad is so bad that it is the worst in the world anyway." He did everything. I was the first to not believe in such a ghostly thing!"

The two talked about it, and after a while, they walked from the ancient city of Chaocheng to the mountainous area. The mountains were lush and green, and they were layer upon layer. If you don't know the direction, you really don't know where to look for it. "Dongguan and I came here once when we saw this mountain, because we had no direction and didn't know where it was. Although we searched for it for several days, we still had to leave dejectedly. "Yiyang Xuanyi took out the copper shaft, like the most precious treasure, but did not unfold it.As soon as he thought about it, he knew that the old man had already memorized all the mountains and directions during these days, and he no longer needed to rely on the patterns on the copper axis.

"It's just that I still don't understand one thing," Dongguan Brigade asked, "When you saw the copper scroll that day, you immediately assumed that it referred to the map of Soul Master Dimeng's grotto, but you don't know why senior Are you sure? Maybe this is just a forgery fabricated by future generations, just to confuse the public." "This question is very good. If I hadn't been fully sure, I wouldn't have regarded it as such a precious thing," Yiyang Xuanyi skillfully unfolded the copper shaft, and it became a large thin piece of copper. "Look at the description in this copper plate. First, not everyone knows the name of Di Menghun. On the contrary, there was a senior who got this name by chance, and spent his life asking about it all over the country. , but no one has ever heard of the three characters 'Di Menghun'. Therefore, if it weren't for the deep karma, these three characters would not be engraved on the copper in a serious manner.

Another point is that this copper shaft is something that has been recorded. I have known the existence of this thing for a long time, but I have been unable to find it for decades. " "Oh?" Dongguan Lv Qi asked: "This thing has been recorded long ago?" Yiyang Xuanyi nodded. "Actually, a hundred years ago, there were people in Yangcheng who knew the whereabouts of the Dimenghun Grotto, because the Sangyang family in Yangcheng was the descendant of the strange man Sangyang Wuhuan, so naturally they would not casually let this place with vast knowledge be lost. But because the mysteries in the grottoes are so profound, even Sang Yang Wuhuan himself can only scratch the surface, and the descendants don't have his comprehension, so as time goes by, the records on the grottoes are becoming less and less known. the mystery. In addition, Yangcheng later had Biluomen, and the real people in Biluomen were more able to help Yangcheng, so this Dimenghun Grotto became a place that no one wanted to go to. Over the years, only one or two people were sent to guard it. In order to prevent future generations from knowing how to get there, this copper shaft was engraved, so that no one would know how to get there in the end. " "It's just that it was lost later, isn't it?" Dongguan Brigade asked, "Or why no one knows where the grotto is now." "About a hundred years ago, there were very few people left in Yangcheng who knew about the existence of this Dimenghun Grotto, and the last person who knew about it was Sangyang Suyin, Jing'er's father. Because of some strange grievances and misunderstandings, he was expelled from Yangcheng in his early years. For a long time in his life, he lived in the grotto of soul master Di Meng. For some reason, the copper axis had been lost at that time. I don't know where I got it. Because this grotto is no longer important in the hearts of people in Yangcheng. Even after the copper shaft was lost, everyone didn't look for it very seriously, and just regarded it as an ordinary lost thing. Later, this Sangyang Suyin once returned to Yangcheng with my grandfather Yiyangjiu and others, but by chance, he rescued a conspiracy to destroy Yangcheng. A well-organized institution. Because of this, in order to commemorate his contribution, the people of Yangcheng let his only daughter Jing'er make an exception to take over as the city lord of Yangcheng as a daughter. But this way, Yangcheng cut off the last clue to the Dimenghun Grotto, because Sang Yang Suyin died unexpectedly, and there was no time to tell the location of the grotto before his death. In this way, no one in Yangcheng knew how to get to the Dimenghun Grottoes for a hundred years, which became an eternal mystery. Until you brought this copper shaft, this grotto, which contains many unexplored mysteries, has a chance to reappear in the world. " The trees in the Chaoge Mountain forest have been seldom inhabited for many years, and there are many places where the vegetation is extremely prosperous, and the giant trees with entangled roots are inserted high into the sky. If there is no direction on the copper shaft to guide, let alone find the grotto. Even advancing in dense forests is problematic. Although this Yiyang Xuanyi is nearly a hundred years old, his physique is exceptionally gifted and very strong. The Dongguan Brigade is in the prime of life, but when he runs on the mountain road, he can barely keep up with this man with all his strength. centenarians. Just like the Dongguan Brigade's guess, the old man Yiyang Xuanyi had already memorized the location of the Dimenghun Grotto very well. I saw him jumping up and down in the forest, sometimes jumping onto a giant tree, sometimes stepping into a bush, Sometimes when I saw a stream, I picked up the water and stones to check the direction. Even so, the two of them walked in the forest for half a day, but they still couldn't reach the location of the grotto, because the grotto was located deep in the mountains, when Sangyang Wuhuan lived here hundreds of years ago, the forest had not yet spread As far as the edge of Chaoge City, because of the change of dynasty over the past few hundred years, this ancient Yin Shang city has gradually become sparsely populated, and there are few people to live in. Therefore, the forests on the mountain multiplied layer by layer and gradually expanded to the flat land. The whole mountain has grown densely, and even the paths that the woodcutters walked in the past have been submerged among the vegetation. After nightfall, the Dongguan Brigade and Yiyang Xuanyi came to a flat open space on the mountainside. Seeing that the sky was dark, they had to find a tree to rest for a while, and planned to go to find the grotto the next day. Sleeping in the middle of the night, Dongguan Brigade suddenly felt something in his heart, and in his sleep he dreamed of the strange scene that he often dreamed about in childhood. In the darkness, he slowly opened his eyes, only to find that for some reason, many strange floating spots of light had begun to appear in the air. The red light spot is hot, like fire. The blue light spot is cool, like water. On the other side of the woods, the sky was as bright as a fire, and just as he was wondering, he heard a long, shrill cry in the sky. "You don't remember me...you still don't remember me..." Then, the brightness of the sky suddenly darkened, followed by a loud "boom", a towering giant tree at the other end of the forest shook a few times, and slowly collapsed like a hill. Because the giant tree was too huge, the moment it landed on the ground, it seemed that the whole ground was going to shake. Immediately afterwards, a huge beam of flame rose into the sky, and then a curtain of water even more spectacular than the light of the fire rose. The fire and water intersected in the air, sending out a trace of water vapor, which reflected the entire sky magnificently. The place where the fire and water fought was obviously an open space that the Dongguan Brigade and Yiyang Xuanyi had walked through during the day. Seeing such a wonder in the sky, the Dongguan Brigade couldn't help being curious, so they quietly got up and walked from behind the woods. A small hill to climb over. Behind the small hill, what caught his eyes was the most tragic and spectacular water and fire battle he had ever seen in his life. (End of Part Six)
