Hearing this, Chen Shuo and the others immediately shrank their pupils.

  And the giant snow leopard in the distance also heard this, Amber Eyes could not help narrowing, and some muttered: "Elder, can you please not say my name casually."

  Chen Shuo couldn't wait to say: "So you were the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau yesterday. I said why your eyes are so familiar."

  "Yes. So what?"

  The giant snow leopard stood up and walked around the huge stone pillar, gradually being obscured.

  However, the shadow cast by the firelight on the wall slowly changed from a leopard shape to a tall human shape.In the end, she came back after going around in a circle, and she was already the Wang Yalu that everyone had seen before.

  "Let's talk. About the Holy Shield." She walked in front of everyone, took out her phone and checked the time, said.

  Seeing this magical scene for the first time, the rest of the people couldn't help but slow down their chests.

  However, Chen Shuo shook his head: "We are willing to share the news with you, but I need to be sure that this is the real devil country?"

  Seeing that Wang Ya's deer eyebrows were raised a little, and her golden eyes showed a bad look, Elder An Dong couldn't help but patted her shoulder with a smile, and said to the experts, "This is indeed not a real devil country. "Guest, please come with me."

  Only then did Chen Shuo secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the oppression this woman just brought was too terrifying.

  The crowd followed the elders.

  This square-like space is actually not square, but rather narrow and long, and they are walking in the depths at this moment.

  "This place was originally just a natural crack to go to the Devil Kingdom. When the Monkey God stepped on the seal of the Devil Kingdom, in order to give those of us who are difficult to contact with the outside world, a place where they can thrive, they used great magic to seal the cracks, so that We are home."

  Elder An explained.

  Professor Feng, who had never spoken, heard the word "Monkey God" and squeezed his hands uncontrollably. A surprising guess became clearer in his mind.

  "Monkey God?"

  Chen Shuo was a little puzzled. Could it be that the golden light on the mural is the monkey god that Elder An Dong said?

  In this regard, Elder An Dong just said: "You will find out later."

  Chen Shuo nodded and turned to ask, "Elder, why are the others wearing modern clothes from the outside world, while you and the others just now wore white fur robes?"

  "I also wear a down jacket inside. The reason why I wear a coat of fur on the outside is a tradition here." Elder An Dong said, uncovering the corner of the chest of the robe to reveal the down jacket inside.

  "Our ancestors were grateful for the kindness of the monkey god and hoped to repay a little, but the monkey god only said: "No need to do this, just do more good deeds in the future and have a clear conscience."

  "So, our ancestors formed a special team. When the blizzard came, they would wear warm fur robes and patrol the snowfields to rescue those who were in danger in the blizzard."

  The middle-aged professor immediately clapped his hands and said excitedly, "It turns out it's really you."

  "As soon as I woke up and saw your image, I was reminded of a thousand-year-old legend that there is a mysterious creature called 'snowman' in the snowy regions of the Ka-150 Lakoram Mountains and the Himalayas."

  "And in modern times, there are quite a few records."

  "In 1938, Captain Oviegu of Calcutta was traveling alone in the Himalayas when he suddenly encountered a strong snowstorm. When he was close to death, he was covered by a tall creature and saved his life."

  "When his consciousness became clear, the tall creature mysteriously disappeared again."

  "In 1951, Eric Shipton, a famous British mountaineer, discovered mysterious footprints and photographed them together with a climbing pick."

  "And in 1975, a Sherpa girl was also rescued by a 'snowman'."

  Elder Anton nodded and said with a smile: "We have indeed rescued many people with such an image for thousands of years. Maybe the snowman mentioned by the outside world is us."

  Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Yalu with a soft gaze: "it was because Yalu's father tried to challenge the Q[-] peak you mentioned and almost died, but was rescued by Yalu's mother."

  "The two fell in love at first sight, became husband and wife, and finally gave birth to Yalu."

  "And Yalu has also become the most peculiar existence in our ethnic group for thousands of years. Not only has the ear completely returned to normal, but it has even gradually awakened its holy power, becoming an existence like the one led by the monkey god back then."

  Chen Shuo and the others looked at each other and could clearly see the words in each other's eyes.

  Extraordinary!

  At this moment, everyone came to the end, and the place was already dim and dim, but a huge figure could be vaguely seen standing in the blur.

  Elder Anton groped for a while on the wall next to him, and finally pressed the switch, and the high-power LED light that fell on the top immediately turned on.

  The huge painted statue, almost as high as the ceiling of the cave, caught everyone's eyes with the lights.

  It was a figure with his back to the crowd.

  He wears a purple-gold crown on his head, two phoenix feathers stand in an arc, and under the golden armor of the chain, his majestic figure is full of supple golden hairs, and a red cloak that is as bright as blood is winding and flying on one side.

  The long stick he held in his right hand was black and had golden hoops at both ends.

  At this moment, everyone on the expedition team was completely dumbfounded.

  No matter whether it is completely close to the image inherent in the heart, no matter whether the question of the explosion it brings up is like the sea, only when the statue that perfectly reproduces the momentum at that time is standing.

  Everyone on the scientific expedition team was full of inconceivable, but incomparably excited and excited, thinking of the famous name that everyone in the entire Yan Kingdom cultural circle knew about.

  Professor Chen Shuo took a subconscious step, stared at the lifelike statue, and blurted out the name in a voice that was almost shocked and deformed in the roar of his brain:

  "Monkey King... Sun Wukong!!!"

  .......

Chapter 223

  "That's right!"

  Looking at the shocking crowd, Elder An Dong nodded slowly: "According to our understanding of the outside world, the Monkey God is indeed called the Monkey King in your name."

  At this moment, Chen Shuo and Professor Feng seemed to have countless thunders blasting in their minds, and even they themselves didn't know how to describe their mood at the moment.

  Although it has long been known that folk myths and legends are likely to have prototypes in history, when this statue came out, it still shocked them.

  Because of his fame, it is really too big!

  Not to mention the cultural circle of the Yan Kingdom, in fact, even in the West, quite a few people know the images of "themokeyking" and "wukong".

  For example, the movie "King of Kung Fu", the game "Beyond Good and Evil" and "leagueoflegends".

  Looking at the corner of the holy shield symbol exposed by the hand holding the stick, they realized once again that the behemoth named "Holy Shield" left deep traces in human history.

  Seeing that everyone couldn't get back to their senses, Wang Yalu said coldly:

  "In the 90s, the elders took the risk of being discovered and secretly ran down the mountain, used the jade dug in the mountain, bought a generator, a TV and a satellite pot and came back, just to watch the 88 version of the "Journey to the West" TV series."

  "Now that there are hydroelectric generators and advanced electronic equipment, the elder has read all the movies and books about the Monkey King that he can find."

  A little embarrassment appeared on Elder Anton's face.

  Chen Shuo and others thought about it, it seems that this is the legendary fanatic who has reached the pinnacle.

  "Elder Anton." Professor Feng with gray hair suddenly said, "Is this statue built by your ancestors more than a thousand years ago?"

  The elder heard something strange: "That's right. Our ancestors started construction after the destruction of the demon kingdom, but due to the small number of people and insufficient strength, it took more than [-] years to finally complete the project."

  Hearing the answer, Professor Feng nodded heavily and said with great emotion: "I finally figured it out, the truth of history turned out to be like this."

  Chen Shuo immediately looked solemn: "Professor Feng, what did you find?"

  Along the way, everyone knows that this older expert in Tang and Song history has profound skills and never fails to aim for nothing.

  Therefore, this sentimental remark attracted so much attention from Chen Shuo.

  Professor Feng turned his head and explained, "Actually, when I was discussing Wu Sinian in the tent just now, I already had an immature idea, and I was about to talk when the Minotaur attacked and interrupted me."

  After a brief recollection, everyone remembered that this was indeed the case.

  "We said earlier that Wu Sinian may have joined the Holy Shield organization when he was an official in the Anxi Protectorate. Now we know that Sun Wukong is also a member of the Holy Shield."

  Professor Feng pointed to the Aegis sign on the statue and said.

  Chen Shuo and the others nodded, waiting for his next words.

  And Professor Feng did not sell off his words, and said word by word: "I have a friend who is also a professor of history. His hobby is to study the evolution of the content of "Journey to the West". When the two of us were chatting, he once told me about relevant knowledge ."

  "We all know today that the earliest source of the content of this story is actually "The Story of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Xuanzang's disciple Bian Ji. There is no new content related to the story of Journey to the West〃々.”

  "And in the "Da Tang Sanzang Collection of Scriptures" engraved in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Huaguo Mountain Monkey Walkers have joined the team, and Da Brahma is the blesser of the collection."

  "In this original version, the main role of the Monkey Walker was only as an intermediary between the Tang Seng and the representative of the "Great Brahma Heavenly King". In addition, the Monkey Walker described at that time was just empty fists against the enemy, and there was no wishful gold. Hoop."

  "It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that various scriptures and dramas further improved the image of the monkey walker, such as having sticks and weapons, etc., but in terms of character modeling, it has a very bad demon."

  "And what kind of character are those who can become members of the Holy Shield? I don't need to say more if I think about it. Such a character image obviously does not conform to the prototype."

  "However, in the Ming Dynasty, when Wu Chengen collected folklore and compiled it into "Journey to the West", the situation has undergone considerable changes."

  "First of all, in terms of personality, he eliminated the demonic nature in folklore, and more of the divinity, or the radiance of human nature, appeared, and in terms of appearance, it also highly overlapped with the statue in front of him."

  "Everyone, please think about it."

  "The statue in front of me is the prototype of Monkey King, but until the publication of "Journey to the West", the image circulated among the people for hundreds of years has been far from it."

  "But when I got to Wu Cheng'en, the image was suddenly pulled back, and the degree of overlap was so high. Tell me, why is this?"

  Speaking of which, thinking and doubt coexisted in everyone's eyes, and they felt as if they understood something, but they felt that there was a missing link in the middle, and some explanations were incomprehensible.

  "Here, I have to add a digression."

  On Professor Feng's slightly aged face, there was a rosy redness that was surging from excitement.

  "We were in the Mazarboha Grotto yesterday and saw a lot of damage on the newly discovered frescoes. Do you remember? On one of the fragments, there is only a black column with a half angle at the end. golden texture."

  "We didn't understand what it was at the time, but now that we think about it, it's probably the Ruyi golden hoop that has grown larger. That is to say, the Great Sage was in that battle at that time, and the terrifying crack on the ground was probably caused by it. "

  "This leads to my next argument."

  "Even if we assume that the frescoes in the Mazarboha Grottoes were not destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen knew the contents of the frescoes through unknown channels, and thus knew the true image of the Great Sage."

  "But why does he vaguely know the brilliance of the Great Sage's humanity? How does he know the character of the Great Sage?"

  Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Professor Feng tried his best to suppress his excitement and talked about another thing: "The headquarters has already found out that Wu Sinian is from the Wu family in Changmen."

  "In the Guanghua period of the Tang Dynasty, that is, from 898 to 901, Wu Wangxiu, the 71st generation grandson of the Wu family in Changmen, served as the magistrate of Shexian County and migrated here, and the descendants gradually flourished."

  "Wu Zhang, the 84th generation grandson of the Wu family here, became an official in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son was Wu Wei. In the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty, when Kyushu was in turmoil, Wu Wei fled the famine all the way to the south of Tongcheng County to avoid military disasters. In the territory of Gaodian Township, Gaodian Wu Clan was created."

  Professor Feng's eyes were bright, he took a deep breath, and finally said word by word: "And Wu Cheng'en is a child of the Wu clan in Gaodian, Tongcheng! His ancestors were members of the Holy Shield!"

  boom……

  Another blockbuster exploded in the minds of the expedition team.
