Chapter 173: Snake-browed Bronze Fish! Wang Canghai!

Zhang Fan felt that there must be something in here!
There are quite a lot of things!
The world is becoming more and more interesting!

In the world line of Tian Zhen's trio, a total of three snake-browed bronze fish appeared.

The first one was in 1974, when Chenpi A Si was blinded by Miao people in the mirror palace, and the first snake-browed bronze fish was unearthed!
The second one was discovered by Uncle San in an ancient underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands.

The third one is that in the Qixing Palace of King Lu, Men Youping killed two blood corpses, got the Ghost Seal, and the Snake-browed Bronze Fish also fell into Wu Xie's hands.

I don’t know why it would appear in this ancient city of Jingjue?

This snake-browed bronze fish is Wang Canghai's token of love.

The person who used the snake-browed bronze fish to record secrets was Wang Canghai. Through carving techniques, he hid Jurchen characters in the fish patterns. The contents recorded were some things that happened when he was captured by King Wannu and taken to build his tomb. The most crucial content was that he discovered that King Wannu was a monster that was a symbiosis of centipedes and humans.

The scales of the snake-browed bronze fish record the history of the ancient Dongxia Kingdom and the secrets of the rebirth of King Wannu throughout the ages. They also record the secrets behind the bronze door of the Yunding Palace in Changbai Mountain.

The snake-browed bronze fish records the causes and consequences of Wang Canghai's experience in the bronze door and the secrets of the rebirth of King Wannu through the ages. He engraved the words on the snake-browed bronze fish in extremely small Jurchen characters, and these words can only be seen using special methods.

Wang Zanghai placed this snake-browed bronze fish in various large tombs to lure other people into finding the secret of immortality.

As for who is this Wang Canghai?

Before talking about Wang Canghai, let's first talk about King Wannu, the king of Dongxia in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China. This King Wannu can be said to be the source of Wang Canghai's knowledge of the secret of immortality.

Thousands of years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky, and the Zhang family was the first to discover that meteorites can make people live longer. Later, the Zhang family searched for the same meteorite jade and finally found two pieces in Changbai Mountain and Tamutuo respectively.

After the Zhang family's oldest ancestor died, the Zhang family placed him in the largest meteorite jade in Tamutu to keep his body full of vitality.

However, after an unknown period of time, the people of Queen Mother of the West moved to Tamutuo and settled there. After secretly observing, the Zhang family discovered that Queen Mother of the West was also pursuing immortality.

Therefore, Zhang Qiling of the contemporary era came forward to reach a cooperative relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, and both families told each other their methods. This was also the source of the method used by the King of Ten Thousand Slaves to prolong his life.

The Zhang family learned that the Queen Mother of the West was pursuing immortality by using elixirs for humans and animals as well as elixirs for corpse turtles.

Later, the Zhang family built a bronze gate in Changbai Mountain, and then used their own methods combined with the methods of the Queen Mother of the West to experiment with the art of immortality.

And this method is to use the jade vein to create a clone first.

Then use the memory-devouring ability of the corpse turtle pill to preserve people's memory.

Then let the clone swallow the pill and absorb the poison of the corpse turtle.

Finally, the method of human-animal symbiosis is used to transfer memories and make people immortal. However, this method has a disadvantage, which is that people become neither human nor ghost.

Moreover, as time passed, King Wannu discovered that although this method was feasible, his vitality and original memory were becoming weaker and weaker after more than ten generations of grafting.

Finally, in the early Ming Dynasty, King Wannu felt that he was about to die. In order to have a grand funeral after his death, he asked someone to capture a Feng Shui architecture master in the Ming Dynasty.

And the person who was arrested was Wang Canghai!

Wang Canghai was the Deputy Minister of Works in the Ming Dynasty court at that time.

Because he is proficient in feng shui and architectural technology, he is also a tech geek in the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works.

As the situation changed in the early Ming Dynasty, he followed Liu Bowen to build the Nanjing Ming Palace and the Beijing Ming Palace.

During this process, he also constantly trained his own unique skills and became very successful.

However, just when he thought he would live his life peacefully, God made his life take a 180-degree turn.

King Wannu secretly sent people to capture Wang Canghai from Beijing and brought him to Changbai Mountain in Northeast China.

Because although King Wannu has many talented people under his command, none of them is proficient in architecture.

So they needed to find an expert from the Ming Dynasty to build King Wannu's tomb.

And the person they fell in love with happened to be Wang Canghai.

After Wang Zanghai was captured in the Northeast, he quickly understood what King Wannu meant.

Therefore, in order to save his life, he built a tomb for King Wannu with trepidation.

And this tomb is the Yunding Palace that we saw later.

As the mausoleum was gradually completed, Wang Canghai discovered a shocking secret in the process.

King Wannu asked Wang Canghai to depict all of his experiences over a dozen lifetimes in the murals of the mausoleum.

At first Wang Canghai thought that this was the story of every generation of King Wannu, but he discovered that there was only one imperial tomb in the Dongxia Kingdom, and that was the one he was building.

Could there be a fool who could serve as an official in the Hongwu Dynasty?
Wang Canghai quickly connected the memories of these dozen generations together and discovered that these dozen generations of Wannu Kings were actually the same person!

This discovery shocked Wang Canghai. In his opinion, it is rare for a person to live to be a hundred years old.

In this way, he became the second person in the Central Plains to know the secret of immortality!
And this King of Ten Thousand Slaves actually survived for hundreds of years, which was simply beyond his imagination.

Later, during the construction process, he continued to explore the secrets of King Wannu, and thus discovered the bronze gate, the Zhang family, and the story of Queen Mother of the West's pursuit of immortality.

And Wang Canghai became the first mortal who knew the secret of immortality.

Wang Canghai knew very well that when the mausoleum was completed, King Wannu might ask him to be buried with him.

Therefore, during the construction process, he secretly left an escape route for himself.

Just when King Wannu died, Wang Canghai used this secret passage to secretly escape from the Dongxia Kingdom.

After escaping from Changbai Mountain, Wang Canghai returned to his hometown under an assumed name.

On the way, Wang Canghai felt that his power was too small and he had to establish an organization like the Zhang family.

Therefore, Wang Canghai took the Wang family as his foundation, gathered extraordinary people from everywhere, and finally established the Wang Chang Longsheng Group, which had been fighting with the Zhang family for hundreds of years.

This group includes not only the Wang family, but more fanatics who want to pursue immortality.

However, what these people don’t know is that they are merely stepping stones on Wang Zanghai’s road to eternal life.

Afterwards, Wang Zanghai led these people to track down the Zhang family's whereabouts. The Zhang family also felt that they were being followed by some force, but they could not find this force.

During this process, Wang Canghai also obtained the core secrets of the Zhang family and the Queen Mother of the West's longevity technique.

He led his men to Tamutu and discovered the method of making corpse-tortoise elixir and human-animal symbiosis in the former residence of the Queen Mother of the West.

He then built the South China Sea Ancient Tomb, where he continued to experiment and improve the corpse-turtle elixir.

In the end, he successfully experimented with the same corpse turtle elixir as the Queen Mother of the West, which could preserve human memory.

However, Wang Zanghai discovered in the experiment that although this thing can make a person's body immortal, the person's consciousness will be devoured by corpse beetles.

Immortality without consciousness is as meaningless as being a walking corpse.

As for the symbiosis between humans and animals, just look at the King of Ten Thousand Slaves and you will know that it is also a method that does not work.

Wang Canghai at this moment was like the Queen Mother of the West back then. Without the help of Zhang Chang's longevity technique, he was stuck here.

Wang Canghai did not discover that the Zhang family used the power of the meteorite jade to achieve immortality because he had never entered behind the bronze gate.

Therefore, he tracked down the Zhang family more urgently, hoping to find their secret. And this process lasted from the death of Wang Canghai to hundreds of years later.

At this time, Wang Canghai’s time is running out, and he needs another way to ensure his eternal life.

That is to use the black-haired snake venom to record one's own memory, and then make it into a corpse turtle pill.

But Wang Canghai knew that all eggs should not be put in one basket. Therefore, he stored his memory corpse turtle pills in the Nanhai ancient tomb, the Wang family base camp, and the tomb of the Wannu King.

Even after achieving this, Wang Canghai was still not at ease, so he went deep into ancient tombs from various periods.

Three snake-browed bronze fish were placed in the Qixing Lu Palace Tomb, Jing'er Palace, and Nanhai Ancient Tomb respectively.

These bronze fish all point to clues leading to the Yunding Palace and the bronze gate.

Because in his opinion, he could only achieve true immortality within the bronze gate.

All it requires is for his descendants to find a body in the future.

This body is not afraid of corpse tortoise poison. It can not only maintain the immortality of the body, but also read his memory.

In his understanding, as long as he used such a body to eat his memory pill behind the bronze gate, he could seize control of this body and achieve eternal life.

At this time, Wang Canghai finally arranged everything and died peacefully. He was very proud at that moment because he believed that his plan would never fail.

This thousand-year-old killing trap that I set up can eventually give me eternal life!

Wang Zanghai's plan can indeed be described as flawless.

His descendants continued to grow stronger over the following hundreds of years, and they broke up the Zhang family and overpowered the Nine Sects.

Wang Canghai can be said to be a genius of his generation. If such a person were placed in any fantasy world, he would at least have the potential to be an emperor!
It’s a pity that man proposes, God disposes!

Wang Canghai learned the secret of immortality from an ordinary person. Then, in order to achieve eternal life himself, he calculated with the Queen Mother of the West and predicted hundreds of years into the future.

He then set up the thousand-year killing plan for immortality described in the Tomb Robbers' Chronicles in order to obtain a perfect body that could carry his own memories.

He can be called the most ruthless person in the world of tomb robbers.

I can only sigh: How sad!

He thought he was dealing with the Changsheng Zhang family, but the Zhang family never regarded them as opponents at all!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the Snake-browed Bronze Fish as an example. It was all intact and was seen by Wu Xie, which means that the Zhang family did not interfere with the Snake-browed Bronze Fish.

The construction of the underwater tomb in the Ming Dynasty was also a huge project, and the Zhang family did not interfere.

This also shows that in the eyes of the Zhang family, these operations are just playing house. They believe that even if Wang Canghai did these things, Wang Canghai and his family still cannot truly grasp the ultimate.

To the Zhang family, Wang Canghai was nothing special, just like a person who had been dreaming of knowing the ultimate truth for thousands of years. In the Hongwu era, Wang Canghai was definitely no match for the Zhang family.

The Zhang family also understood what plan Wang Canghai might have.

Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the Zhang family set up a small trap.

They used a gold plate to engrave the information of the second largest tomb in the world and indicated that Wang Zanghai's plan was there.

Therefore, once the Wang family believed that they had reached the Second Mausoleum, they would not know how they died. There were many traps like this, such as the fake bronze door in Medog.

The huge information gap of the Zhang family, any small clue can directly wipe out the true strength of the Wang family.

Destroy the Wang family one generation after another!
But there is never a shortage of ambitious people in the world, Changsheng!

What a beautiful word!

You can't kill all the petitioners!
In the Zhang family's clan system, only the clan leader knows the "ultimate" truth. This truth is also recorded in a room on the ground floor of the Zhang family's ancient building, which is full of hallucinogenic hexagonal bronze bells.

The clan leader has a mother bell that can resist this hallucinogenic effect.

The succession ceremony of the patriarch is that the old patriarch brings the new patriarch into the room, completes the "ultimate" information handover, and waits for death, after which the new patriarch brings out the old patriarch's body.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the then head of the Zhang family was assassinated in Sizhou City. In order to prevent the Zhang family from finding out the truth, the group of people joined forces with the local government to bury the city.

The mother bell was buried forever with the head of the clan. This caused a gap in the handover of the "ultimate", and the Zhang family lost the meaning of existence. After that, the head of the Zhang family only got a huge family. In order to find the mother bell and regain the "ultimate", the Zhang family began to experience the earliest and most serious internal strife.

It also gave the Wang family an opportunity to take advantage of!
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the younger brother was born, and at the same time, another big event happened in the Zhang family!

They obtained a secret box with a dragon pattern from the emperor and discovered the immortality plan set by King Mu of Zhou three thousand years ago.

When King Mu of Zhou visited the Queen Mother of the West to seek the secret of immortality, he also learned the truth about the world, that is, the existence of "ultimate".

In order to cover up the matter, he left all the clues pointing to Changsheng.

When he died at the age of 105, he used meteorite jade to make two coffins, one large and one small. The large coffin was for himself, and he placed a premature baby in the small coffin.

The changes of the baby in the meteorite jade will be related to the mechanism of the dragon-patterned secret box, causing the numbers on the surface to change. When the numbers show 02200059, it means that the meteorite jade's changes regarding longevity have been completed. The meteorite jade has the same effect on the corpse, which means that King Mu of Zhou has also achieved "longevity".

If you open the box at this time, you can get all the clues pointing to King Mu of Zhou.

But the Zhang family foresaw his plot, destroyed the box in advance, and took out the baby in the small coffin.

The baby was already dead. In order to maintain the Zhang family's belief in immortality, they disguised the young man at that time as this baby and announced to the outside world that it was a holy baby who was still alive after three thousand years.

The destruction of the box also allowed the Zhang family to discover a secret about the "ultimate".

It was mentioned in "The Lost Tomb of the Sea" that "ultimate" can be interpreted as the truth of the world, or the limit of the world. It may be a piece of "information" and can interact with the world.

The destruction of the dragon-patterned secret box allowed the Zhang family to discover that "ultimate" has a final node and this "information" has an end.

This secret was discovered by King Mu of Zhou three thousand years ago. The numbers on the surface of the box are more like a countdown device, and 02200059 represents the arrival of this "final event".

The discovery of this secret put a greater responsibility on the Zhang family at the time, which was to avoid this final event from happening.

The Zhang family believed that this "end point" would have some signs before it arrived, so they began to establish archives throughout China to collect and eliminate local strange events in order to find this so-called "sign."

The archives are divided into five regions: southeast, northwest, northeast, southwest and central. The eastern region is under the responsibility of the Zhang family's overseas system, the southern region is the Nanyang Archives, the western region is the Lama Temple, and the northern region is the Zhang family's main residence. The central archives actually does not exist and is almost replaced by the power of the Nine Gates, headed by Zhang Qishan, the Great Buddha.

This is the beginning of the story of "The Lost Tomb" that we are all familiar with, and what followed were Tian Zhen, Fatty and the little brother!
Shirely Yang fell into deep thought after seeing Zhang Fan see Wang Kaixuan's thing. Could it be that this thing is really a treasure!

Then he turned to Zhang Fan and asked, "Mr. Zhang! Do you know this thing?"

Zhang Fan smiled and waved to Wang Kaixuan, who handed over the snake-browed bronze fish with both hands!
Zhang Fan held it in his hand for a while, thinking that it was a figure worth collecting!
It’s just a Wang family, it’s nothing, just treat it as some fun for yourself!
He looked up and glanced at a few people, and said, "I don't know whether your luck is good or bad!"

"What do you mean?" Hu Bayi was stunned after hearing this, but then he moved his shoulders unconsciously. No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than it is now!

"Yes! Master Zhang! Please tell us about it!" Wang Kaixuan said anxiously after hearing this.

"This thing is called Snake-browed Bronze Fish! It's probably from the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Fan said lightly.

"Hey! Master Zhang! This isn't right! The Jingjue Ancient City and the Ming Dynasty are not from the same time period!" Big Gold Teeth said. How could something from the Ming Dynasty appear in a tomb thousands of years ago?
"That's right! Master Zhang! Please look carefully!" Wang Kaixuan said anxiously.

"Hey! Fatty, stop talking. Let Master Zhang finish what he is saying!" Hu Bayi glanced at Wang Kaixuan. He was still thinking about what Zhang Fan meant by whether it was good or bad. Could it be that there was something weird about this thing?
"That's right! Fatty! Let the person finish speaking!" Shirley Yang also spoke up.

"This is indeed something from the Ming Dynasty! But you should have heard of the person who made it!" After saying this, Zhang Fan looked at Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Da Jin Ya.

"Have we heard of it?" Big Gold Teeth took the snake-browed bronze fish and studied it carefully!

"Hey! Uncle Hu, do you think this is Dongxia script?" Big Gold Teeth asked Hu Bayi who was standing beside him. After hearing this, Shirley Yang also came over!

"Oh! Master Zhang! No matter whether it is Dongxia or Xixia, please don't keep us in suspense! Tell us about it!" Wang Kaixuan scratched his ears and cheeks, looking extremely anxious!
Zhang Fan took a sip of tea, swallowed it, and then said, "This man is called Wang Zanghai!"

"What!" Big Gold Teeth exclaimed!
"Oh my God!" Shirly Yang was also shocked by these words!
"It's actually him!" Hu Bayi's eyes also showed horror!
"Oh my god! Fatty, take this damn thing away from me! Take it away!" Big Gold Teeth was so shocked that he threw the snake-browed bronze fish over and wiped it on his body frantically with both hands!

However, Zhang Fan was also surprised. How come these three people all knew Wang Canghai?
