Chapter 1252: King Mu of Zhou

"He? Who is he?" Zhang Tianyou asked hurriedly. (шщш.щ Novel Network)

"This person, this person is King Mu of Zhou." Chu Chunting said in surprise: "It's him, it must be right."

"King Mu of Zhou? Is the one who wrote "The Biography of Emperor Mu"?"

Zhang Tianyou also heard of the legend of Emperor Mu. When he came, he also heard from the mouth of the old monster Shen. The legend of Emperor Mu mainly records that King Mu of Zhou threw the seven-gathering men, drove on Chiji, Pili, Baiyi, Julun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, Lu'er and other horses. He drove the carriage and Boyao as a guide. He left Zhouzong, crossed the Zhang River, passed through Hezong, Yangyu Mountain, Quyu Mountain and Qunyu Mountain, and went west to the Queen Mother of the West, and feasted with Queen Mother of the West.

In other words, he was sitting on the Queen Mother of West on the Eight Horses, and the Queen Mother of West was very welcoming at that time.

However, from the relief, Emperor Mu did not seem to be here to play, but rather to fight.

"Yes, it's that Emperor Mu." Chu Chunting said: "At the beginning, I didn't remember it. I only remembered it when I saw the person in the carriage."

According to historical documents, the ancient You Kingdom established by the ancestor Liu Gong in Longdong was connected with the mountains and rivers of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West, and they were close to each other and helped each other to live in peace. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people had already gone south, and the five Rongs in the northwest crossed Longshan and invaded eastward. These five Rongs were Yiqu Rong, Yu Zhirong, Wu Shirong, Qu Yanrong, and Peng Lurong.

King Mu of Zhou once fought against each other and captured the Five Rong Kings, and later placed them in the Dayuan area. These Five Rongs were actually citizens of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West, and were later unified by the Yiqu Kingdom, establishing the Western counties and states that had been pardoned for hundreds of years in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Under the steadience of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West was split into many ethnic minority tribes, which were difficult to command in a unified manner, but it still existed in the state pattern. The Qiang people still admired their Queen Mother like gods. At this time, the Queen Mother was just a spiritual pillar. Therefore, King Mu of Zhou's western expedition was the last country before the collapse of the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West.

"So, the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West was not destroyed by King Mu of Zhou in the end?" Zhang Tianyou asked curiously.

"Can't you know if you continue to look down?" Chu Chunting winked at him.

Zhang Tianyou didn't understand what it meant, so he hurriedly looked at the next relief. He saw that the Western Zhou army had already reached the palace, killing the Queen Mother's army countless casualties. But at this moment, countless snakes suddenly appeared under the throne of Queen Mother's throne. The snake crawled over to the Queen Mother's army, and bit the Western Zhou soldiers, scaring the Western Zhou soldiers to flee everywhere.

In the end, it was Queen Mother of the West that won. What surprised Zhang Tianyou was that he didn't see Queen Mother of the West at all, which made him feel very strange.

"Sister Chu, then, did King Mu of Zhou fail in the Western Expedition?" Ye Xiaoluan asked at the relief on the wall.

"There is such a possibility." Chu Chunting analyzed: "Maybe, King Mu of Zhou did attack here, but was defeated by these snakes. In order to conceal his failure, he made up that story in "The Legend of Emperor Mu". To be precise, these snakes protected the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West. No wonder they made so many statues of snakes."

"No, I seem to hear that King Mu of Zhou likes Queen Mother of the West, and the two are still dating." At this moment, Niu Xian, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "The famous poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty said: The beautiful window of the Yaochi Mother is open, and the yellow bamboo sings are moving and mourning. Xinjun travels 30,000 miles a day, so why won't King Mu come back again?"

I saw Niu Xian shaking his head, which was a bit of the ancient sour poets who wrote poems. When everyone saw that they covered their mouths and laughed.

"I said, Niu Xian, what are you talking nonsense? Can Queen Mother of the West be good with King Mu of Zhou? These are the monarchs of two countries. They want to be good. Who are the two countries?" Song Yikuan said with a smile: "You, don't be sour. These two people can't be good at all. Even if you think about it, it won't be possible."

This is the truth. The two kings are going to be fine. Unless they are the love that shocks the world and makes ghosts cry, no one will compromise.

"Sister Chu, after watching for so long, why didn't you see Queen Mother of the West?" Zhang Tianyou finally couldn't help asking.

"Why didn't it? Look at what's behind the throne?" Chu Chunting said lightly at the relief on the wall.

Everyone looked closely and was shocked. They saw a monster with a human face and snake body standing behind the king. However, from her appearance, she looked very kingly. Anyone could guess that this was Queen Mother of the West.

"Difficult, is this the Queen Mother of the West?" Niu Xian said hesitantly.

"It should be." Song Yikuan nodded and said, "If she is still alive now, you can marry her home."

"Tsk, who will marry her home? You will marry her." Niu Xian said angrily, saying, "Wouldn't you scare me to death if you marry this thing home?"

"Stop being poor." Zhang Tianyou whispered softly, then looked at the snake on the relief and said, "Sister Chu, have you recognized it? The snake on it seems to be a Teng Snake."

Chu Chunting looked at it carefully, nodded slightly and said, "No, it's Tengshe."

"What is a Tengsnake? Is there any difference between it and an ordinary snake?" Niu Xian asked. Although he had seen Tengsnake, he did not know the origin of the snake.

"Tengsnake is a flying snake in the folk legend of our Han people. There are many records in ancient Chinese documents in this regard, also called "divine beasts", and has many representative meanings.

Zhang Tianyou didn't find it strange. Now he has made Queen Mother of the West and the Jade Emperor a couple. What's so strange about calling a snake a "divine beast"?

Chu Chunting continued: "In "Xunzi Encouragement of Learning", it was recorded that "snake" flew without feet, and the five skills of the squirrel are poor." This means that although the snake is not enough, it is better to fly into the clouds and fog and wander in the air than the squirrel with multiple skills. This is used to describe the fact that ordinary people should concentrate on doing things and be able to succeed in the end."

Cao Cao's famous poem "The Turtle is Longevity" also has the sentence "Although the Turtle is Longevity, there is still a time. The snake rides on the fog and eventually becomes ashes of earth." In the palace ceremonial system of Song Dynasty, there is the so-called "Zhenwu Team", and the lineup includes "a member of the Jinwu Zhechong Duwei, one of the fairy boy, Zhenwu, snake, and divine turtle flags"; however, there is another saying that Tengshe is an independent member of the five divine beasts, located in the center, and has a yellow color.

"Before, I only heard the legend that there was such a snake, but I didn't expect to see it here." Chu Chunting sighed and said, "This snake is poisonous. I hope everyone can hide as much as possible when they see it."

After hearing this, everyone felt scared. When they came two days ago, they encountered so many Tengshes. Some disciples from the Taoist sect didn't run out and all died under the mouths of the Tengshes. Later, some of the people who escaped by chance, thanks to Ye Xiaoluan finding the medicine to detoxify, otherwise they would have died.
