Chapter 476: Legend of Dian King
"We are on this trip to save people..."
Seeing Sun Xiao acting like an old man with ambitions for thousands of miles, I muttered.
"It doesn't matter, I will hide aside while you are rescuing people, and then I will enter the tomb after they are rescued."
I smiled bitterly.
This old man is really stubborn. It seems that he is determined to follow us.
"Little brother, I won't bother you any more along the way."
Sun Xiao's eyes fell on me and he smiled apologetically.
Anyway, as an archaeological expert, he has done a lot of research on the ancient Dian Kingdom, and he will definitely be able to help by looking for the tomb of the Dian King.
Furthermore, his enthusiasm...
How can anyone bear to refuse?
I even said a few words that it was no trouble, and I had already made up my mind that in the worst case, the five-clawed golden dragon would carry him and fly away.
After this was finalized, my cell phone rang.
It's Li Di.
She said she had been waiting for me at the airport for a long time and asked me why I hadn't arrived yet.
I quickly asked her to add another ticket and we would go there right away.
When locking the door, Mr. Xu whispered to me: "My little friend, Mr. Sun is not in good health. I'm afraid that he will go away... In short, you should be more prepared for this trip."
At this time, I took a closer look at Sun Xiao's face.
I saw that he was covered with dark clouds, and his face was filled with deathly aura. Time was running out.
He must have contracted some bad disease.
I guess he probably wanted to fulfill his unfinished wish at the last moment of his life!
This kind of person is worthy of admiration.
I nodded in agreement and told Mr. Xu to be at ease.
After that, I, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon and Sun Xiao went to the airport together, and together with Li Di, we got on the plane to Kunming.
On the plane, I showed Sun Xiao the pictures of the Kowloon coffin that Shinu had sent me.
After flipping through a few pages, his hands began to tremble with excitement.
I noticed that there was a mist in his eyes.
When he turned to the last page, his eyes were fixed on the human body.
After a long time, he murmured: "The King of Dian is a demon, and the legend of the King of Dian's seal is actually true!"
Is the King of Dian a monster?
What's the meaning?
Could it be that the corpse in the bronze coffin was not a human body at all?
But the King of Dian?
Or is the King of Dian just a human being?
So what’s the legend about the Dian King’s Seal?
Sun Xiao's short sentence brought me a lot of doubts.
I was about to ask, but he suddenly sighed and asked: "Little brother, where did you find these photos? The bronze coffin was opened, and the seal of the King of Dian must have been lost. Such magical things, it seems that I am
I have no chance to meet you, alas..."
Seeing him feeling lost, I comforted him and said, "It's impossible to tell. Although the tomb of King Dian was opened, the person who opened the coffin is dead. Mr. Sun, is there anything special about that seal?"
Sun Xiao nodded and was about to speak, but Li Di said first: "Mr. Sun, I once watched a documentary, which said that the Seal of the King of Dian has been unearthed."
Sun Xiaodao: "It was true that a gold seal engraved with the 'Seal of the King of Dian' was excavated back then. According to the records in "Historical Records", in the second year of Yuanfeng, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, gave a gold seal to the King of Dian. I guess that
The seal is probably the one given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."
"I have consulted a lot of unofficial ancient books, and it is recorded in them that the King of Dian had his own golden seal, and that seal had magical powers. It is said that the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared overnight and was never seen again, and it was related to that seal."
I know very little about history. I only know all the dynasties and sequences of Chinese civilization, and I know nothing about other small countries in the four directions.
I was doubly surprised when I heard Sun Xiao's words: "A vassal state that was personally given a gold seal by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty should be quite large, right? How could it suddenly disappear overnight?"
Since the destination of this trip is the tomb of the King of Dian, I am particularly interested in the ancient Dian Kingdom at this moment.
I had already preconceived the idea that Master Hui and the others were imprisoned in the tomb of the Dian King by the remnants of the Demon Catcher Sect.
Sun Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the picture in his hand, and said patiently: "According to official history, at that time, a great plague occurred, causing almost all the residents of the ancient Dian Kingdom to die. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the remaining people
Pile all the dead together and burn their homes together."
"A few years ago, someone discovered a large number of ancient buildings under Fuxian Lake in Yunnan. Some people came forward and said that they were the ancient Dian Kingdom that had disappeared for more than a thousand years and sank to the bottom of the lake due to earthquakes..."
When Sun Xiao said this, he changed the subject: "Later, the state organized people to conduct a survey of Fuxian Lake. After diving into the water, they discovered a very strange thing. In that huge building complex, not a single thing was seen.
There are corpses. If it really sank due to an earthquake, there must be human corpses, right?"
"So, I don't agree with either of these statements. On the contrary, I believe in the records in unofficial histories."
"How is it recorded in unofficial history?"
Li Di interrupted at the right time.
"The King of Dian and Wang Yin both had supernatural powers. The King of Dian did not want his country to go to war with other countries, so he used his great supernatural powers to move his people to other places."
"Has it been recorded in the unofficial history that the Dian King had any magical powers?" I asked Sun Xiao again.
Sun Xiaodao: "The records say that the Dian King was tall and burly, with the head of a beast and the body of a beast. He was very intelligent and knew many magical arts."
Li Di smiled and said: "Mr. Sun, you are an expert, how come you believe in these weird things?"
Sun Xiao laughed when he heard this, especially when he heard the word "expert", his face showed a strange expression.
"How can there be any experts in the world? These names are just words to convince the public. Many times, when many things are told from our mouths, we ourselves don't believe it. What's more, I have been doing archeology in my life, and I don't believe it.
Even though I have dug a lot of ancient tombs, I have also seen a lot of strange and weird things."
After saying that, he added: "But when I say that the King of Dian has supernatural powers, I am not just boasting. I just inferred it based on some classics."
"Before the ancient Dian Kingdom, the development of Yunnan was more than a thousand years later than the civilization of the Central Plains. But during the ancient Dian Kingdom, they seemed to have an epiphany overnight, and they suddenly brought the bronze civilization to its extreme. They made
The level of craftsmanship of bronze ware is difficult to achieve even with today’s advanced technology.”
"How did such superb skills suddenly emerge under those conditions at that time? This is still an unsolved mystery."
"In addition, according to my research for so many years, I have found that the Gu magic in Miao territory, the head-dropping technique in Southeast Asia, and the mysterious evil technique did not exist before the ancient Dian Kingdom. This also shows from the side that these three major evil arts
They are all handed down from the ancient Dian Kingdom, which indirectly proves that the records of the Dian king’s knowledge of magic are true.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and his eyes fell on the picture of a snake head and a human body in his hand.
"Seeing this picture, I believe the records in unofficial histories even more."
