Chapter 329

If it weren't for Zhang Qi, I reckon Tianzhen would have turned into another blood corpse by now.

After all, the blood corpse also had highly toxic substances on it; touching it would lead to immediate poisoning.

That appearance should be the same as the archaeological team member who crushed the corpse beetle king!

Fatty and Tianzhen's hearts were pounding, feeling very fearful.

And the content on this silk book also caused a sensation across the entire internet because of the live stream!

Strictly speaking, this was equivalent to one tomb having three owners.

Previously, even experts like Professor Chen had misjudged it, thinking this was a Warring States tomb.

But in reality, this was a modified Warring States tomb!

It was King Lu Shang who had modified it on the basis of the Western Zhou King Zhou Mu's tomb!

Tianzhen suddenly realized, "No wonder everyone felt that whether it was the altar or the bronze coffin, they were somewhat beyond the standard, not like things used by a feudal lord."

"It turns out these things were basically left behind by King Zhou Mu; King Lu Shang used the imperial ritual, so we naturally felt it was somewhat discordant."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this!

This is how ancient tomb archaeology is; whenever there is a feeling of unreasonableness, there are more or less some problems.

At this moment, the entire internet was shocked by the suddenly appearing King Zhou Mu.

Even the archaeological team was slow to realize that they had actually participated in the excavation of an imperial mausoleum!

This is an achievement that many archaeological personnel find difficult to reach in a lifetime.

But they had completed it while being completely unaware!

Professor Chen even speculated that the complete appearance of the Western Zhou tomb was not just what they saw.

Digging further down, there would likely be other tomb chambers, but this would have to be left to the larger team that followed.

The news of the discovery of a Western Zhou imperial mausoleum in the Xia Kingdom also shocked the whole world.

In any country, the weight of an imperial mausoleum is always the heaviest!

This is almost the peak symbol of the financial and power of a feudal dynasty!

Every item inside, if taken out, is worth a fortune.

And the confirmation of King Zhou Mu's identity made the legends of the Xia Kingdom even more mysterious!

Everyone couldn't help but speculate, since King Zhou Mu exists, and he was the first immortal body in this bronze coffin.

Then where did his method of immortality come from?

At the Xinyue Hotel, this question was almost asked by everyone.

Even the live stream barrage of the auction was full of this question.

People were like grabbing onto some kind of hope, constantly wanting to verify it!

Seeing this, Zhang Lin said directly, "King Zhou Mu's situation can actually wait for a period of time; the authorities will definitely have an answer."

"Did you all forget? Although King Zhou Mu turned into a blood corpse, he was killed by Zhang Tianshi."

"But his remains are still there; this immortal body of his should be able to reveal many things."

"As for whether the Queen Mother of the West exists, and whether King Zhou Mu's method of immortality came from the Queen Mother of the West?"

"That is of course certain! You have all heard that the Queen Mother of the West is the Lord of Yaochi, in charge of the art of immortality, but you haven't heard the legend that King Zhou Mu has an immortal record, right?"

"The legends of the Xia Kingdom, although somewhat absurd, are not groundless!"

"Just like now, the archaeological team discovered King Zhou Mu's tomb and also discovered that he had the art of immortality."

"Doesn't this confirm that the legend of King Zhou Mu having a fleeting romance with the Queen Mother of the West is true!"

"Looking at the Central Plains, the Qin Dynasty was only a few hundred years away from the Western Zhou. If the art of immortality originated locally, why was there not even a trace of it by the time of the First Emperor of Qin?"

Many people were inspired by Zhang Lin's statement and began to let their imaginations run wild.

For a time, the barrage in the live stream was full of all kinds of whimsical ideas from the netizens.

【Damn! I know, mythology says that people from the Central Plains would go to the Kunlun Yaochi land to seek the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West!】

【Yes, such stories are basically in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, which is to say, one day, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly disappeared from people's sight!】

【According to mythology, after the 'Juedi Tiantong' (severing the connection between heaven and earth), the living places of humans and gods were separated. Although this makes sense, this kind of statement is purely mythology and not very advisable.】

【So, I think the biggest possibility is that a huge change occurred in the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom! Just like that legendary ancient kingdom of Loulan.】

【Looking at it this way, it's very likely! If you treat the Queen Mother of the West as a real person like King Zhou Mu, the sudden loss of records about this person can only mean that this kingdom disappeared!】

It must be said, the netizens' imaginations were at a high level.

Basically, through semi-reasoning and semi-guessing, they restored the real situation!

The final disappearance of the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom happened shortly after King Zhou Mu lay into the coffin.

It can be said that the discovery of this Western Zhou ancient tomb not only opened the door to a new world for everyone.

It also opened up the world's desire for immortality!

The Xia Kingdom's archaeological community had never received such great attention before.
