Chapter 493

~8 min read 1,495 words

For many Central Plains people, most are ancient inheritances that cannot be explained.

Just like the Gu art of the Miao people and the Buddhist dharma of the Tibetan people!

So after the poem Chale'gai sang in the Borjigin language was translated into these two sentences,

many people felt their scalps go numb!

Especially the content inside, no matter how one thinks about it, it makes one feel a kind of hair-raising sensation.

Temujin's army is coming, they are going to the Land of Eternal Life, and all who block the way must die?

Everyone knew that Temujin was already dead, and Temujin's army naturally couldn't be alive either.

If this was singing about the situation back then, it would make people feel that this was describing a grand scene.

It was also a folk song to boost the morale of the army!

But when sung again by Chale'gai in modern times, it always gave people a very strange feeling.

If the things in the sung poetry could still be realized, wouldn't that be Genghis Khan's army of ghosts passing through?

This was a terrifying scene that one would only think of in the subconscious.

Many people couldn't express it in words, but hearing this sung poetry, they would feel uncomfortable all over!

Not only was there a problem with words like Temujin's army, but the Land of Eternal Life mentioned inside also confused many people?

What is the Land of Eternal Life?

Is it any different from the immortality pursued by emperors through the ages?

It is said that Genghis Khan was an emperor who never pursued immortality, but now this line of sung poetry by Chale'gai showed the world that the facts were not so!

No emperor, after enjoying absolute power, would not be fascinated by immortality.

Even the rich people of today are pursuing longevity, let alone feudal autocratic emperors?

All the majority of the audience guessed that this Land of Eternal Life should be the place of longevity that Temujin yearned for!

Currently, except for a few official people, the outside world doesn't know that among the owners of the stone that cannot be moved in this generation, there is also the option of Genghis Khan.

So everyone wouldn't have too much shock about this kind of sung poetry!

But Mr. Zhou in the mysterious room was different; he was almost dumbfounded after hearing the translation of this line of poetry.

Combining the two things, doesn't it mean that Genghis Khan might really still be alive?

Because the poem sang about the Land of Eternal Life, maybe Genghis Khan really found the Land of Eternal Life, which is why he hasn't died and can appear in the future timeline?

Could this Land of Eternal Life refer to Lei Cheng?

Mr. Zhou couldn't be sure.

He shifted his gaze to Chang San and found that Chang San was tense all over at this moment.

Clearly, this line of sung poetry also made him feel very nervous!

Mr. Zhou asked directly: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhang Lin said before the storytelling that he suspected Half-a-Li had once entered Lei Cheng; do you think the Land of Eternal Life mentioned in this sung poetry could be Lei Cheng?"

Hearing this question, the corner of Chang San's eye twitched.

Then he replied: "I can't be sure about this, because when I was in Lei Cheng, I hadn't heard it called the Land of Eternal Life."

Mr. Zhou nodded, seemingly accepting this perfunctory answer.

But then he asked again: "It seems excusable that the people of Lei Cheng don't know that Lei Cheng is the Land of Eternal Life, because longevity doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for you, isn't that so?"

Chang San knew that Mr. Zhou was pointing at him.

If Chang San was really the person who guided Grand General Zhang to find the stone that cannot be moved back then, he should be over a hundred years old now.

But the Chang San in front of him looked like he wasn't even forty.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a kind of immortality!

Chang San responded immediately: "You are right; Lei Cheng is a hidden place, not to be seen by outsiders, so we don't know how others evaluate it, or rather, there are very few people who have the opportunity to evaluate it."

Chang San was telling Mr. Zhou that Lei Cheng is not something ordinary people can see!

If it were really as the sung poetry said, that Temujin's army all marched to Lei Cheng,

then Lei Cheng would have long ceased to exist!

No one doesn't know how powerful Genghis Khan's iron cavalry was.

Even if the people of Lei Cheng all possessed the Thunder-Listening Art, they wouldn't be the opponents of such human-sea tactics.

Therefore, Chang San was more inclined to think that this line of sung poetry was a kind of encouragement and yearning.

Genghis Khan might have heard of Lei Cheng and believed it was a paradise on earth, the Land of Eternal Life.

His goal was to find Lei Cheng, so he instilled a concept into his soldiers.

This concept became a sung poem, sung in the army!

This was Chang San's own thought; after thinking through these, he suddenly felt his spirit relax.

The previous tension had eased quite a bit!

Because he was certain that no one had ever entered Lei Cheng on a large scale!

Even if the Thunder-Listening Clan had encountered purges in history, Lei Cheng had never been discovered.

The existence of Lei Cheng is like a different space wandering outside this world.

There has never been a situation where one could enter Lei Cheng by chance!

These past experiences were the source of Chang San's confidence!

The change in Chang San's emotions was naturally perceived by Mr. Zhou.

He didn't show it on his face, but just sneered a few times in his heart.

Mr. Zhou felt that Chang San was still happy too early; this story of Zhang Lin must have an unexpected development!

Zhang Lin, after finishing the translation of the poem, ignored the shock of the crowd.

Instead, he continued: "Half-a-Li understood one or two sentences of the sung poetry and became even more curious!"

"From the moment he knew that following Chale'gai to such a god-forsaken place was to dig Genghis Khan's tomb, Half-a-Li began to pay attention to this person, Temujin."

"He collected a lot of information about Temujin from other people's mouths, but it was also pieced together and not very complete."

"At this moment, hearing Chale'gai's thick and deep singing, it seemed to instantly bring Half-a-Li to that scene where iron cavalry roamed the grassland."

"At that time, Half-a-Li was not yet the Third Master Li of the Upper Three Sects, so his experience in the Jianghu was extremely shallow, and he had no defensive heart against people."

"He saw that everyone else was asleep, even the guide Old Mi was drunk and snoring while wrapped in a lambskin coat."

"Driven by curiosity, Half-a-Li suddenly asked Chale'gai, who was still singing."

"Half-a-Li clearly remembered that he also used the Borjigin language to ask Chale'gai: What is the Land of Eternal Life?"

"Chale'gai, who was in an excited state, suddenly heard a familiar language and was shocked all over, looking at Half-a-Li with an unbelievable expression."

"He first asked: How can you speak the Borjigin language?"

"Half-a-Li at that time didn't have such good conditions as you all, having experts like Professor Liu to popularize science and understand the significance of the Borjigin clan language."

"He just thought it was ordinary Mongol and didn't see the change in Chale'gai's eyes and expression."

"Half-a-Li honestly told Chale'gai that he learned it by listening; it belonged to self-study!"

"Chale'gai now had no interest in singing; he stared at Half-a-Li for a long time before saying slowly: You have learned the language of the Borjigin clan, so I will treat you as half a Borjigin person and can tell you a secret."

"Half-a-Li at that time didn't realize anything wrong when he heard this."

"He was excited, thinking Chale'gai was going to share the biggest secret with him!"

"Until later, when his legs were broken by his companions and he was abandoned to fend for himself, Half-a-Li finally understood that from the moment he revealed he could understand the Borjigin language, Chale'gai had developed murderous intent toward him!"

"Because in Chale'gai's heart, he didn't care about the wealth of the Borjigin tribe; he was already rich enough."

"What he cared about was the Land of Eternal Life, the thing that only Temujin Khan could possess!"

"This thing only belonged to the Borjigin clan; Half-a-Li's performance gave Chale'gai a sense of crisis!"

Zhang Lin paused for a moment after speaking to this point.

And old Jianghu figures like Zhang Yueshan and Old Lady Huo suddenly noticed the unreasonable logic in this part just now!
