Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1766 The True Identity of Cooking God

It was a real face, with frowning eyebrows, a square face with thick lines, and an extremely dignified expression.

He was wearing an ancient robe, with one hand stretched forward and stretched forward...

Compared with the perfect looks common to gods, he has an even more ancient sense of thickness. It seems that through this face, one can see his firm principles and rock-solid heart.

Chen Zhi and Ghost Dao walked over and gently touched the 4-meter-high portrait.

Yes!

It was an extremely real stone statue in the dark, so real that it was unbelievable that it was a lifeless thing.

Chen Zhi has seen this kind of simulated stone carvings before. In ancient times, there were always some unimaginably skilled craftsmen.

They can break the limitations of time and space and create unimaginable works of art.

For example, when he was in Changbai Mountain, Chen Zhi once saw the simulated stone sculpture of the goddess Fokulun, both hair and face are lifelike, as if a real person is alive.

And the simulated stone sculpture in front of him can be said to have come from the hand of God.

This is a stone sculpture that is so real that it can't be more real. Not only the facial features and hair, but also the expression is so real.

It seemed that this person was standing there alive, frowning slightly at Chen Zhi, and in the next second, he was about to pour out the sadness in his heart...

The stone statue is carved out of hard stone as a whole.

Hard rock is not a precious species, and it can be seen everywhere even now, because the texture is extremely hard and the internal density is very high, generally no craftsman dares to challenge it.

Even a machine is too lazy to carve such a hard stone.

However, the entire 4-meter-high hard rock in front of me was carved by hand, which shows how much patience the craftsmen paid at that time.

I heard that artistic creation comes from feelings, when the craftsman was carving this lifelike portrait of a real person.

If there is no strong sense of identity and admiration for the stone statue itself, it is impossible to create it.

The overall shape of the stone statue is just like Wu Hua remembered, with a bald head, bare feet, and a long beard.

It is about 4 meters high, and there are two maidservants, a man and a woman, on the left and right sides, serving them very respectfully.

The maidservants held plates with rice and meat in their hands, and an ancient character was engraved on their foreheads.

Chen Zhi had heard that this was a common behavior of slaves at that time.

In order to mark their own affiliation and show respect to their masters, they will engrave the master's name on their foreheads.

But this kind of slaves are difficult to sell, so those who can do this are generally loyal slaves who only serve one master from birth to death, which belongs to a very ancient etiquette.

But at this time, the ancient text engraved on their foreheads was very clear, it was the oldest...

"Peng"

Peng Zhi itself comes from a surname, and then gradually became a place name, but its origin has historical records.

When he first saw the word "Peng", the 4-meter-tall portrait and the upright and resolute face were instantly reflected in Chen Zhi's mind.

He immediately understood who this person was!
This legendary and mysterious cooking god, who did not leave any names and taboos, has actually been hidden under the figure of a person in history.

If you look at it this way, everything actually makes sense.

donate meat; bestow land

All the secrets about cooking gods have become a thread in human history.

Xuzhou, where they are now, was called Pengcheng in ancient times, and it was called Dapeng's country in the earliest times.

At that time, everyone in this city was surnamed Peng, because there was a very powerful prince here.

"Peng Zu~~
Oh it's you……",
Chen Zhi touched the cold stone carving with his hand, followed it upwards, all the doubts in his heart were solved for a while,
"Oh it's you!
It turned out to be you..."

"Peng Zu?
You mean the guy who lived over 800 years? ",
Fat Wei looked at the stone sculpture in surprise after hearing it from the side.

"This is really great!

This really dug out our ancestors~~
I say!
That cooking god tossed and tossed for so long, although it died down later!

But in our Chinese Kyushu, how can we not leave a name?

This is not how we Chinese people behave!

It turned out to be waiting here! !

It turns out that he is Peng Zu!incredible! ! "

Just like what Fat Wei said, when it comes to Peng Zulai, he is really an ancient figure well-known in the land of China.

Since the pre-Qin period, Peng Zu has been a fairy in people's hearts, and he is famous for his longevity.

It is said that he is still in good health after living for more than 800 years, and he has been in politics all his life. After several dynasties, he has always been the monarch's servant and is very popular.

It was only after the demise of the Shang Dynasty that he disappeared. It is said that he was promoted to immortality.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang deliberately included Peng Zu in the fairy world in "Biography of Immortals".

And it is conclusively said that he has been ranked in the immortal class, so how can he be so powerful.

Since then, Peng Zu has gradually become a mythical figure, and everyone has gradually forgotten its historical and political role, and it has nothing to do with King Wu's defeat of Zhou.

Kong Guangsen, a man of the Qing Dynasty, said in the note "Liezi Liming Pian", "Peng Zu's wisdom is not higher than that of Yao and Shun, and he lived eight hundred years." He was talking about this Peng Zu who lived 800 years old.

The folk couplet is quite popular "Su Cai Guo Fu, Ji Zi Peng Nian".

It is said that the success of being a human being lies in having Su Dongpo's talent and learning, Guo Ziyi's blessing, Ji Chang's many sons, and Peng Zu's longevity.

It can be seen that in the minds of people later, Peng Zu's main achievement is longevity.

But in the real ancient history, Peng Zu was a very accomplished person.

Since Emperor Yao, he lived through the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty. During the Shang Dynasty, he kept Tibetan history.

When Chen Zhi got to know Peng Zu, he suspected that his blood should not be human.

And if a descendant of a god can live to be more than 800 years old, he is no longer an ordinary demigod, and the son of a god is also rare.

Looking at it now, this Peng Zu is indeed a real god! !

Liu Baobao was very excited after seeing this statue, his eyes started to burst into tears, and his hands were trembling with excitement. It seemed that he was not only excited, but also had a trace of resentment.

Fat Wei smiled when he saw his excited look:
"Dude, calm down!!

Don't you forget what are we here for?
I agreed that I was here to steal the fairy tongue, but not to report your personal grievances! !

Looking at you like this, you are going to smash your ancestral temple! ! "

"Okay, stop talking~~
let's go! ! ",
Chen Zhi glanced at Liu Baobao indifferently, didn't say much, and pointed back to the darkness behind him.

I saw a temple-like building exposed in the darkness, with the roof rolled outwards, a very ancient pre-Qin architectural style.

That should be the temple of Peng Zu...
