Chapter 332

And the biggest secret that the Eastern Xia royal family were not humans!

And what the second copper fish recorded was what Wang Wang Canghai saw after entering the Gate of the Underworld!

This part should be what everyone was most looking forward to and most wanted to know.

Zhang Lin finished the opening, and continued, "This second copper fish records the process of Wang Wang Canghai secretly sneaking into the Gate of the Underworld!"

"Yes, everyone didn't hear wrong; in fact, Wang Wang Canghai had witnessed the opening of the Gate of the Underworld twice."

"The first time was the handover of the Eastern Xia King; he witnessed the monster crawling out from the Gate of the Underworld."

"This part of the record is in the first Snake-Eyed Copper Fish, very general, but from Wang Wang Canghai's tone, one can see how shocked he was in his heart!"

"When seeing that the Eastern Xia King was not a human, but a monster, even this top Feng Shui master of the Ming Dynasty began to doubt life."

"Therefore, the Feng Shui master, with the exploration of truth and curiosity about the Gate of the Underworld, finally found an opportunity to enter the Gate of the Underworld again!"

Hearing this, everyone felt their toes clench for no reason, following along nervously.

It must be said that Wang Wang Canghai was truly bold and skillful!

He was abducted there, but even in the state of losing his personal freedom.

He still did so many little actions under the noses of the Eastern Xia people!

Not to mention secretly carving three copper fish and placing them in three treasure eyes so obviously.

This Gate of the Underworld was the secret of the Eastern Xia people; how could Wang Wang Canghai secretly sneak in?!

Should one say the Eastern Xia people were stupid, or praise Wang Wang Canghai for having ability?

At this time, Zhang Lin didn't pause and said, "Wang Wang Canghai had witnessed the opening of the Gate of the Underworld, so he knew that opening this door required a key!"

"But this key was in the hands of the Eastern Xia people. Wang Wang Canghai used the royal family's trust in him to slowly inquire about the origin of the key."

"Unexpectedly, the result made him feel surprised; it turns out that even the Eastern Xia royal family didn't know the source of the key!"

"This thing, according to the Eastern Xia King, was obtained by the ancestors of the Eastern Xia people from somewhere, and there was more than one key!"

"The Eastern Xia people obtained the key by chance; the original text of the dragon-fish secret text: 'Once seen the Divine Mother, received pity, bestowed secret key, can open the Abyss Strange Gate!'"

Hearing this, many people's hearts skipped a beat.

Because the two words 'Divine Mother' were mentioned in this original text!

These two words were too directional.

Eastern Xia was actually just a small country on the border, and whether it existed before was still the focus of debate in the historical community.

So such a small country, and they were Jurchens, the Divine Mother they believed in couldn't be something of their own nation.

Many people already vaguely felt that this Divine Mother referred to the Queen Mother of the West!

For a time, unrelated things were suddenly connected together.

A small, vanished Jurchen border country, a top Feng Shui master of the Ming Dynasty, and a tomb of King Zhou Mu!

The shadow of the Queen Mother of the West actually appeared in all of these?!

Could it be that the royal family of Eastern Xia was also related to immortality?

It must be said that until now, the information on the second Snake-Eyed Copper Fish made the situation even more confusing.

Zhang Lin didn't explain the doubts in everyone's hearts too much.

He just continued to translate, "The Eastern Xia people's key was obtained from the Divine Mother, but Wang Wang Canghai didn't ask why the Divine Mother bestowed the key to the Eastern Xia people, and what relationship she had with this Gate of the Underworld?"

"However, Wang Wang Canghai deduced a secret from it."

"Based on the Eastern Xia people's description of the Divine Mother, plus the strange and terrifying appearance of the Eastern Xia King, he confirmed that the Divine Mother referred to the Queen Mother of the West!"

Buzz—

At this moment, almost everyone who knew about mythology was shocked!

Because the amount of information in these few sentences was too large!

They wished they could already roughly judge what kind of monster the Eastern Xia King was through these words.

For a time, everyone couldn't care about listening further, and various questions were thrown out.

"Mr. Zhang, this... this is too terrifying, right? Is this true?"

"Yeah! Wang Wang Canghai said that based on the Divine Mother and the appearance of the Eastern Xia King, he judged that this Divine Mother was the Queen Mother of the West, doesn't that mean the Eastern Xia King is actually half-human, half-beast?"

"Yes, the image of the Queen Mother of the West in myths is human-headed and snake-bodied! And Wang Wang Canghai said the Eastern Xia royal family are monsters, so this can only mean that the Eastern Xia royal family is similar to the legendary Queen Mother of the West?!"

"This is simply too terrifying to think about; the Ming Dynasty wasn't that long ago, and there were still such species with human heads and beast bodies?"

"No wonder Wang Wang Canghai was terrified and incoherent; I reckon if I saw a monarch of a country being such a thing, I would also be scared half to death!"

"If the Eastern Xia King is also human-headed and snake-bodied, does that mean they are actually of the same clan as the Queen Mother of the West?"

There were many questions from the audience on site, and the barrage of water friends squatting online was also much the same.

They were all guessing the appearance of the Eastern Xia King and his relationship with the Queen Mother of the West!

Zhang Lin didn't give a centralized explanation, but said a few words about the human-headed and snake-bodied matter.

"Everyone, I hold a reserved opinion on whether the Eastern Xia King is human-headed and snake-bodied; at least I don't think so!"

"Everyone knows that the Queen Mother of the West is human-headed and snake-bodied, and is called the Divine Mother."

"If everyone saw something human-headed and snake-bodied appear, the first reaction should be the Queen Mother of the West clan or the Nuwa clan."

"Even if you feel the other party's appearance is terrifying, you wouldn't think it's an indescribable monster!"

"Wang Wang Canghai, as a Feng Shui master, was knowledgeable, and he wouldn't be so out of character."

"Therefore, the royal family of Eastern Xia should not be human-headed and snake-bodied; I'm afraid it's something even more terrifying than a snake!"

After saying this, everyone thought deeply, nodding one after another, feeling that what Zhang Lin said made a lot of sense!

The Xia Kingdom's mythological system is actually very complete.

The people in the myths corresponding to human-headed and snake-bodied are also specific!

It's something almost carved into the genes of every Xia Kingdom person!

Seeing human-headed and snake-bodied, one would think of Nuwa, the Queen Mother of the West.

Therefore, Wang Wang Canghai's reaction was indeed a bit excessive!

Zhang Lin skipped this part and continued to translate the remaining content.

"Because Wang Wang Canghai confirmed that the Divine Mother mentioned by the Eastern Xia people was the Queen Mother of the West, he began to intentionally look for ancient tombs from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties!"

"Hard work pays off; during the period of helping the Eastern Xia King raid tombs, he really discovered a magical place, which is the King Zhou Mu tomb that everyone has already seen!"

"Wang Wang Canghai, who discovered King Zhou Mu's tomb, was excited; he didn't tell the Eastern Xia people about the situation of this tomb."

"Only told them that this was a Warring States tomb, and what was buried inside was a small feudal lord of the Lu State, so the things in this tomb were not very valuable!"

"And the second key was also discovered by Wang Wang Canghai in this tomb."

"The dragon-fish secret text original text records: 'Secret key placed in purple jade box, as a burial object for a Warring States feudal lord, I took one for use, and returned it afterwards.'"

At this moment, not to mention the excitement and regret of the people on site.

The archaeological team gathered together almost stomped their feet in frustration!

Professor Chen exclaimed with heartache.

"Damn! The thing snatched by that mysterious black-clad person was actually the key to opening the Gate of the Underworld!"

"This is simply... simply lawless!"

"Captain Wang, you must send people to search the mountains, you must find the national treasure back!"

Looking at Professor Chen who was so angry he almost fainted, Captain Wang quickly said, "Professor, don't get angry, all personnel have been dispatched and are searching the nearby area."

"As long as they haven't gone out, they will definitely be found!"

Wang Pangzi also held his head in annoyance, looking extremely painful.

"Damn! Such an important thing, why didn't I grab it and let it be snatched by someone else?"

Seeing Wang Pangzi blaming himself, Wu Xie comforted him, "Forget it, Pangzi, it's not your fault."

"That person attacked suddenly and had planned it for a long time, and her skills were powerful; it's understandable that the thing was snatched by her."

The archaeological team was immersed in the regret of losing the key.

Only Zhang Zhang Tianshi stood aside, lost in thought, clearly having emptied his mind.

Now that everyone knew that what was in the lost purple jade box was the key to opening the door, it was destined that this matter would become a major case that shocked the whole country!

Snatching national artifacts in public, and such an invaluable national treasure, is simply a crime on top of a crime.

What's even more regrettable is that if this purple jade box hadn't been lost this time.

The archaeological team holding the key might have skipped the Xisha Sunken Ship Tomb and gone directly to Mount Zhangbai to open the door!

After all, with the key in hand to open the door, it's better to go early than late!

But now, this plan won't work!

Seeing this, Zhang Lin comforted them, "Everyone doesn't have to be so depressed; now everyone knows that what's in the box is the key to opening the door." ===== CHAPTER 333 =====
