Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1675
This is a very small original record, which was written on a piece of pure white animal skin by a special kind of leaf juice in ancient times, and the color has not faded until now.

The content of its records is familiar to Chen Zhi. In fact, it is an idiom that has been passed down for thousands of years, the allusion of "do not eat Zhou millet".

Millet, millet, generally refers to food.

The content of the allusion is:

Boyi and Shuqi were the two sons of Lord Guzhu in the late Shang Dynasty, and their surname was Motai.

After Mr. Guzhu passed away, Shuqi wanted to choose an heir, but Shuqi ran away, wanting to give way to his elder brother Boyi.

Later, the two met on the road, and heard that Xibohou Ji Changshan was good at caring for the young, and won the support of the people, so they went to seek refuge in Zhou Dynasty.

Only after entering Xiqi did he know that King Wen had passed away, and King Wu of Zhou succeeded to the throne, and supported the army to defeat Zhou.

The two of them believed that it was inhumane for the princes to attack the emperor, and tried their best to persuade them, but King Wu refused to listen and decided to destroy Shang.

Boyi and Shuqi sneered at King Wu of Zhou's behavior, thinking that they were traitors and traitors, and vowed not to be subjects of Zhou.

After the world returned to Zhou, they did not eat Zhou's grain, but lived in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain, picking wild fruits for a living.

When the latter woman saw them, she said:

"You claim not to eat food from the Zhou Dynasty, but have you ever thought that the wild vegetables and fruits you pick now also grow on the land of the Zhou Dynasty!"

As soon as the two heard this, they knew that every plant and tree in the world belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, so they decided to go on a hunger strike and wait to die, leaving behind the story of not eating Zhou millet.

Later generations use this idiom to describe the noble integrity, backbone, and ambition of swearing to die without compromise.

But I don't agree with the behavior of the two of them, and criticize them for being narrow-minded. The Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with virtue.

In any case, the idiom did stay.

Chen Zhi once wondered how the character of the ruling class would allow such hostile stories to be passed down to future generations.

So I once suspected that this story was fabricated by later generations.

It was only now that I found this animal skin scroll that I knew the beginning and end of this idiom. It turned out that this incident really happened in the early Zhou Dynasty, and it was recorded from the beginning to the end.

The reason why it was not eliminated by the ruling class at that time was because the place where this incident happened was not within the sphere of influence of the Zhou Dynasty at that time.

It was a very ancient foreign language with a foreign totem on it, which should have been preserved by a hunting tribe at that time.

The content records are about the same as those circulating now, except that the two men acted more vigorously at that time, and the scene was more bloody.

They were not ridiculed by ignorant women and died, but climbed to the highest tower at that time during the enthronement ceremony of King Wu of Zhou, pointed at the Zhou royal family below, sang and cursed, and then fell to their deaths.

Many people witnessed this incident at that time, and many tribal leaders also saw this incident when they came to celebrate, and then recorded it.

So in the end, it can't be covered up, it can only beautified.

However, the singing of the two people's scolding at that time contained some special content.

The song says:

"Travel! Still don't know what's wrong?
Shen Nong, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu~~, there is no trace!
Xibigan, loyal minister Liezi~~~
Swear to bury the king with flesh and blood!

My king~~, where is he buried now?

Xi Bigan, loyal minister Liezi~~~, where can I cut out your heart? "

It can be clearly seen from these words that this man named Bigan was a loyal minister and good general in people's hearts at that time.

He once promised to bury Emperor Xin, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, and said that he would be buried with flesh and blood, and the concept of flesh and blood seems to be related to heart digging.

Since when these people were dying and scolding, they didn't know where Di Xin was buried.

That means that the place where King Zhou of Shang was buried was very secret.

Even King Wu of Zhou and Jiang Ziya, who were in power at the time, did not know where his tomb was.

It seems that after the war ended, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya did not see the body of King Zhou of Shang...

In the following time, Chen Zhi put the white paper in his hands and pondered over and over again, hoping to find all possible clues from these ancient words.

Ji Ying stayed with him all the time, holding the lamp for him, flipping through the words without saying a word.

In the end, Chen Zhi found many faint fingerprints behind the white paper.

He used e-light to print on those finger prints, and found that these prints were very old, and the fingerprints were all from one person, and the lines of the fingerprints were very different from normal human fingerprints.

Perhaps out of a blood intuition, Chen Zhi knew that all these fingerprints belonged to Jiang Ziya.

In other words, this white animal skin scroll was deliberately preserved by Jiang Ziya.

He also couldn't forget this matter at that time, like a stick in his throat.

That's why I hid the animal skin scroll, hoping to find the tomb of Shang Zhou Emperor Xin's tomb one day.

why?

Afraid of his comeback?
Or there is another possibility, maybe King Zhou of Shang escaped successfully with a certain secret...

Therefore, Jiang Ziya had to find him to avoid serious troubles forever, but he did not succeed until his death.

"Bury it with flesh and blood..." Chen Zhi thought slowly in his mind.

Although I am not sure what this sentence means now?
But one thing is basically certain, Bigan must be in charge of Di Xin's tomb.

Then as long as you find Bigan, you should be able to find clues.

But since Chen Zhi can think of this, Jiang Ziya 5000 years ago,

He will definitely go to Bigan...

What happened later in history confirmed that Chen Zhi's speculation was correct.

Because in the subsequent Zhou Dynasty, Bi Gan was highly respected, calling him the first loyal minister, making him the God of the country, looking for his descendants, granting land and power, and trying his best to win over him.

But there is one thing that is very illogical. This loyal Bigan seems to have died long before Emperor Xin died.

And he died at the hands of King Zhou of Shang...
