The Queen Mother of the West is one of the goddesses in ancient Chinese myths and legends. She is regarded as an immortal god and in charge of the immortals.
An examination of the historical sites in Pingliang Prefecture in "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books": "Back to Zhongshan, it is three miles west of the state. It comes from Kunlun. There is the Queen Mother's Palace on the top and Jingshui on the bottom. It is called Gongshan. King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han tasted it."
But in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Queen Mother of the West becomes another creature.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "South of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand, behind the red water and before the black water, there is a big mountain called Kunlun Hill. There is a god with a human face and a tiger's body, with writings and tails, all white, located there. Below it is a gulf of weak water surrounding it, and outside it is a mountain of flaming fire, from which objects are thrown. There is a hoopoe, a tiger's tooth, a leopard's tail, and the cave is called the Queen Mother of the West. There are all kinds of things in this mountain.
In the earliest records, the Queen Mother of the West is a being with the face of a human and the body of a tiger, with tiger teeth and a leopard tail.
Even Song Xing couldn't help but frown when he heard Professor Sun talking about the suspected immortality recorded in family documents as the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun Mountain.
"Did you just say, Queen Mother of the West?"
Professor Sun nodded: "Yes, it is the legendary Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the West, and the love story between King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West."
Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou had eight horses, each of which could run thirty thousand miles a day. With the help of these horses, King Mu of Zhou successfully reached Kunlun during his western tour and met the legendary Our Lady of Yaochi. , the Queen Mother of the West, and she started a touching love story.
During the reign of King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty, people came to the country in the West. They entered water and fire, passed through gold and stone, reversed mountains and rivers, and moved cities. Human concerns.
A foreigner from the Kingdom of the West came to visit, and King Mu of Zhou warmly entertained him. He was also very pious to him. He killed pigs and cattle every day to provide food for him, and selected the most beautiful women in the palace to serve him. He even gave up his own palace to him. Let this person live.
In order to please Huaren, King Mu of Zhou spent all the money from the five government offices to build a new palace.
The best architects in the country were also invited to design and supervise the construction. The tower was built a thousand feet high, on top of Nanshan Mountain.
The women selected on the high platform all have graceful figures and graceful eyebrows.
But this stage still did not satisfy the human being. In the end, he had no choice but to take King Mu of Zhou to travel around to see the palace where he lived in the sky.
Above the sky, King Zhou Mu saw things that were not found in the human world. He suddenly felt that the palace he once lived in and everything he once liked were as ugly as dirt.
When he returned to the palace after his fugue, King Mu of Zhou suddenly seemed to have changed. He ignored the government affairs and took Baji on a parade to the west. Finally, he met the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountain.
Hearing King Zhou Mu's name, Song Xing couldn't help but remember that when he traveled through the world of Ming Dynasty, the jade seal asked him to look for King Zhou Mu's white jade cup, the thirteen-fold arm box of Hailing Xiahou, and the dragon beast of Qian Xiao Lie's descendant. There are three divine objects on the wall.
It seems that King Zhou Mu of both worlds has something extraordinary and magical.
Song Xing frowned: "The Queen Mother of the West is just a myth and legend, fabricated by the ancients. Could it be that your ancestors have seen the Queen Mother of the West alive?"
If that were the case, it would be a discovery that would overturn the entire world.
Professor Sun shook his head, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "There are only a few strokes in the ancestor's notes, so we can't tell anything about it, but maybe he had a hallucination before his death, or it's possible."
[In view of the general environment,
Professor Sun's apparent identity is an archaeologist, and he guessed from a scientific perspective: "In ancient times, there should have been a country with a matriarchal society in the far west, and the leader of the country might have been called the Queen Mother of the West for generations. .”
"In the literature, during the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, there was a legend about the Queen Mother of the West presenting a white jade cup. During the Yao and Shun era, there were also records of the Queen Mother of the West presenting a white jade ring. You must know that there was a gap of many years between the Yellow Emperor's period and the Zhou Mu era. No one could survive So long."
Song Xing watched Professor Sun talk eloquently and asked again: "How do you explain the Queen Mother of the West who has the face of a human and the body of a tiger mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Sun
The professor said: "Perhaps it was a ferocious beast raised by the mother kingdom of the Western Queen. It was passed down through false rumors and became a record of later generations with a human face and a tiger body."
Song Xing looked at Professor Sun, but Professor Sun turned his eyes away from Song Xing.
Song Xing twitched his lips and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Lao Hu is going to the Kunlun Mountains this time to lift the curse. Maybe we will have a chance to meet the Queen Mother of the West."
Professor Sun's eyes were confused for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother Kingdom of the West was founded about four to five thousand years ago, and it has been destroyed for more than two thousand years. If the Queen Mother of the West could live forever, how could the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West be destroyed?"
Hearing this, Song Xing's heart moved and he looked at Shirley Yang aside: "Miss Yang, I remember you said before that the ancestors of the Evil Luohai people established a huge theocratic country in Karamir in the Kunlun Mountains. The Demonic Kingdom. It sounds like the Demonic Kingdom and the Queen Mother of the West were founded at about the same time. Could it be that the Ghost Mother of the Demonic Kingdom is actually the Queen Mother of the West?"
Shirley Yang raised her eyebrows, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't think of it in this regard.
Professor Sun thought about it seriously and was not sure, "There was more than one kingdom in the Western Region back then. Perhaps the Western Queen's Mother Kingdom was a powerful one among them, but it was not a demonic kingdom. There is currently no document as evidence."
"and……"
Song Xing asked: "And what?"
Professor Sun pondered for a moment and continued: "According to my speculation, the history of the Demon Kingdom should be much longer. It is a country that was born in ancient times. I once saw a passage in a ruins that said it was the fall of the sun. A trace left in the world."
When he said this, his expression changed slightly: "According to rumors, the demon kingdom had the power to destroy the world a long time ago. They can easily destroy a small kingdom."
"It's just that the Demon Kingdom was ostracized by all the major countries because of these terrifying abilities. It gradually disappeared and became a taboo."
Song Xing nodded and expressed his understanding: "The existence of the Demon Kingdom is not something ordinary humans should know about."
Professor Sun paused and continued: "Although the Demon Kingdom has disappeared, it still leaves some records in the world."
"There is a huge crystal stone in the Demon Kingdom. It records the status of the Demon Kingdom. It is divided into five levels. The lower the level, the stronger the power. They are the bones of the snake god, the bottomless ghost cave, the strange snake, the ghost mother, and the chief priest. Master, while Wolf Slave and Dapu Ghost Insect are demon slaves from the Demon Kingdom, and their status is lower than those of the five."
Seeing that Hu and others were going to Kunlun Mountain, Professor Sun shared some of the information he knew.
"The Demon Kingdom does not have a king, and all major decisions are made through divination by priests after sacrificing the bones of the Snake God. The Demon Kingdom believes that the world is in a cycle of life and death. After one world is destroyed, another world will be born, and the Snake God The bones of the snake god will also be resurrected in that world. They continue to sacrifice their lives to worship the bones of the snake god, hoping that the people of the demon country can also survive in another world.
The Demon Country believes that every generation of ghost mothers is reincarnated, and their eyes are "devil eyes", which are also the "unbounded demon children" mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures. The ghost mothers must always cover their faces, but not every generation of ghost mothers can have it. Ghost eyes.
The main city of the Demon Kingdom is Eruohai City, also known as the "Ten City of Fear and Strength", located on the Longding Glacier in the Kunlun Mountains. "
After sharing some information about the Demon Kingdom, Professor Sun looked at Song Xing and the others and said, "If you want to go to Kunlun Mountain to uncover the secret of the Muchen Bead, then I will give you a piece of advice, don't try to explore the secret of the Snake God. , and don’t pry into any secrets related to the Queen Mother of the West, so that you can come back from the Kunlun Mountains safely."
