I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the Tubo soldiers destroyed the stone wall outside, which means that they did not allow their own people to enter again.

Although I don't know what the purpose is, these unlucky guys obviously sneaked in secretly.

And their results also confirmed that the outsiders were right to block this place.

It may be that he had been dead for too long, but Chen Ke did not find any cause of death from the bones. There were five bones inside and out.

Of course, this was not a problem for Ji Han and the others, they just subconsciously became more careful.

Continuing along this road, there is a long tunnel. At the beginning, it was as rough as the outside, but after walking forward for tens of meters, simple reliefs began to appear on the stone walls on both sides.

Chen Ke was most interested in these, and immediately got closer to study them.

Eggplant vaguely felt that the inside was not very clean, and urged him to act quickly.

"Don't worry, brother eggplant, maybe you can tell who the former owner of this place is."

"What? After making the judgment, you still want to chat with him? Say we have nothing to do, just go to someone's house to get a treasure?"

Chen Ke didn't care about Eggplant's joke, anyway, he knew that although he complained, he was always careful about his surroundings.

Although Ji Han did not study these simple relief murals as well as Chen Ke did, he could still get a rough idea.

The initial reliefs seem to be all pictures of a very high-status figure traveling surrounded by crowds. Although the lines of the surrounding mountains and lakes are simple, they look very clear.

And because there are more carvings on this side of the relief, it is not clear what kind of image the people surrounded in the center are.

At this moment, Chen Ke was staring at the second relief, which seemed to be a banquet.

The place where the banquet took place seemed to be next to a lake on a high mountain, and the content of the relief was still very detailed, Ji Han could even see the fruit plate on the table.

Although the two people sitting on the front seats at the banquet could not be seen clearly, they could roughly be judged to be a man and a woman.

Chen Ke looked at the relief and wondered:

"Brother Ji, do you feel that this painting is very familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere, but it's not the original version I saw, it's the feeling that I can't put it into words."

Indeed, as Chen Ke said, Ji Han also felt the same way.

I seem to have seen the scene described in the painting, so it is not the original version, but the content should be similar.

Eggplant didn't know what the three of them were staring at at the relief on the wall, so they also came over.

Seeing this picture of the banquet, Eggplant joked:

"I thought you guys found the real "Mona Lisa" here, but it turned out to be a painting of flat peaches from "Journey to the West."

The eggplant was originally just a joke. After all, such a very simple-looking painting, coupled with the fruit plate full of peaches engraved on the table, really reminded me of the simple illustrations in the old Journey to the West books I saw when I was young.

And Chen Ke, Ji Han and Song Qian also reacted instantly.

That's right, it's the Peach Club in Journey to the West!

It may be because the scene here is so unreminiscent of "Journey to the West", the three of them didn't think of it for a while.

Chen Ke replied:

"That's right! That's right, it's "Journey to the West"! I remembered! It's the scene of the Peach Festival."

If the two protagonists who cannot be seen clearly in the relief are regarded as the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor, then they are indeed consistent with the Pantaohui.

The third stone carving is not the same as the previous one. It is a scene of a woman wearing a tiger-head mask watching the army and horses leave.

Eggplant scratched his head and said:

"The content of this relief seems to be a bit out of order?"

But Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"No, it can be connected. If the content on this relief is correct, I seem to be able to guess who might live here."

Although Ji Han didn't connect them completely, he had some clues and guessed:

"You don't mean the Queen Mother of the West, do you?"

Seeing Chen Ke nodded, Song Qian questioned:

"How is this possible? According to myths and legends, the Queen Mother of the West lived on Kunlun Mountain, and here is Tianshan Mountain. Not to mention the reality, even the myth does not match."

Chen Ke explained:

"No, the original text of "Shan Hai Jing" once recorded: "Although the Queen Mother of the West uses Kunlun as her palace, she also has her own caves from the palace, a place to rest, and does not only live in one mountain." In other words, the place where the Queen Mother of the West lives is not There is no fixed place.

So in fact, Yaochi does not specifically refer to Kunlun Mountain, and the Kunlun Mountain recorded at that time is different from the Kunlun Mountain that is said now. Besides, according to the actual situation, Tianshan Mountain is more reasonable.

Because the Queen Mother of the West is also a deified female tribe or civilization leader with high probability, and the altitude of Kunlun Mountain determines that there cannot be any gathering population in the area, but there is no problem here in Tianshan, so many scholars also think Tianchi in Tianshan It is the fairyland of Yaochi in myths and legends. "

Eggplant puzzled and said:

"But even so, how can you confirm that the **** the relief is the Queen Mother of the West?"

Chen Ke pointed to the third painting and said:

"First, it is said that the Queen Mother of China and the West in the "Shan Hai Jing" has disheveled hair, showing sharp teeth like a tiger, and dragging a tail like a leopard behind her ~www.readwn.com~ is an ancient half-human half-beast The great **** who is in charge of plague and death during the period, but if we take off the cloak of myth and analyze it.

The Queen Mother of the West should be the leader of the matrilineal society of the western tribes that have not yet fully civilized. The image in myths and legends is probably just because of the mask that increases the sense of mystery. Just like the third mural, look carefully. A masked woman also has a tail behind her. "

Eggplant still does not forget to joke at this moment:

"Good guy, I thought it was people from that era who were already playing so well."

Chen Ke continued to explain:

"The last piece of evidence is the content of this relief. According to historical legends, there was only one army sent away by the Queen Mother of the West, and that was King Mu of Zhou who was patrolling the west. Both "Historical Records" and "Biography of Emperor Mu" recorded King Mu of Zhou's travels. Going to the west, I met the goddess-like Queen Mother of the West and stayed here for a long time and refused to leave. It is said that the two have a love story, but that is not easy to tell.

So these three reliefs show the scene where the Queen Mother of the West leads the place, entertains King Mu of Zhou in Yaochi, and sends King Mu of Zhou away. If there is no accident, this may be the Queen Mother of the West's territory. "

After listening to the eggplant, he shrugged and said:

"That's a good thing, go in and ask her old man to see if there are any flat peaches. I also want to suffer from immortality."

But as soon as the words fell, the four of them heard the sound of the remaining stone wall collapsing behind them.
