What is the basis for this person? He told the emperor a story about the Zhou emperor's Western Expedition. The Zhou emperor Mu, whose name is Ji Man, was a legendary figure. In the history of the Zhou Dynasty, only the records of this person seem to be mythological stories.

Legend has it that Emperor Mu has a very strange habit. He does not care about state affairs and does not get close to his subordinates and his wife. His only hobby is to run around.

At that time, a man named Zaofu made a car, and as his coachman, he led his troops to the west with eight divine horses, and fought all the way to Kunlun Mountain. He was blocked by a man. This man was the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West invited Emperor Mu to the Yaochi and invited him to see the "Huangdi Palace". The two of them drank on the Yaochi and were very happy.

Before leaving, Queen Mother of the West was reluctant to part with Emperor Mu and said this:

White clouds are in the sky, and the mountain monuments come out of themselves.

The road is far away, and it is between the mountains and rivers.

If your son is not dead, he can still come back.

Before Emperor Mu and Queen Mother of the West left, they exchanged a large number of gifts from the two countries. After that, Emperor Mu left the Queen Mother of the West and returned to the Zhou Dynasty. He died at the age of 105 and never returned to the Queen Mother of the West again.

When middle-aged man said this, he reread the poem by Queen Mother of the West and said, "Emperor Mu is 55 years old as he ascended the throne. It was the time when the Zhou Dynasty was the strongest. After his death, the Zhou Dynasty began to perish. In history, Emperor Mu did not care about the government affairs and traveled arbitrarily, thinking that it was the beginning and inducement of the demise of the Zhou Dynasty. You might as well think about why the owner of the fox mask believed that the secret of immortality came from the legend of the Zhou Emperor?"

Li Cu shook his head, he thought, but there was no conclusion.

"You are still young and cannot understand the greatest pain in your heart for an ambitious man who ascended the throne at the age of 55." The middle-aged man said: "For a person, the happiest thing is not as good as being young and successful. In his best time, he can get what he wants most, women, territory, and wealth. He can enjoy all of this. However, when King Mu of Zhou ascended the throne, all this was far away from him."

A 55-year-old new emperor, in addition to being tired of dealing with political affairs, would also have to ask himself, what is the meaning of me to do all this with such hard work?

Since ancient times, there has been a legend of Queen Mother of the West that the immortal medicine is the same as others. He adopted the most extreme method. He fought with the whole country and ignored everything. As long as he could get the immortal medicine of Queen Mother of the West, his days will be long and lasting forever.

So he entered Kunlun. At that time, Yaochi was considered to be the current Qinghai Lake and the territory of the ancient kingdom of Queen Mother of the West. It has been verified as a vast area of ​​Kunlun Mountain, Qinghai Lake and Qaidam Basin. Queen Mother of the West was the leader of the ancient kingdom of this area.

We don’t know what happened, so we might as well assume that King Mu of Zhou, who was nearly twilight, was attracted by the young Queen of the Queen of the West and fell in love. Not only did he not fight, but he also passed on a large amount of culture from the Central Plains into this ancient country. The Queen Mother of the West also fell in love with King Mu of Zhou (historical saying that King Mu of Zhou was very handsome. Although he was already middle-aged, men of this age were often at their peak.)

In the poems of Queen Mother of the West, we can see that Queen Mother of the West’s judgment on King Mu’s departure was very accurate. She knew that the journey from Central Plains to Kunlun was too far away. At King Mu of Zhou, there was only one possibility of going back and returning.

It's just immortal.

The middle-aged man said to Li Cu: "So, the owner of the fox mask told the emperor that the reason why Queen Mother of the West said this is because the medicine for immortality was already included among the large amount of gifts they exchanged."

"But, even if that King Mu of Zhou lived to be 105 years old, he would still die?" Li Cu said.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, what does this mean?" He paused, "King Mu of Zhou did not take the elixir of immortality."

King Mu of Zhou, who was committed to the whole country to the west, did not take it after obtaining the elixir of immortality. Why is this?

If your son is not dead, he can still come back.

This sentence is a hypothetical sentence, that is, Queen Mother of the West is not sure whether King Mu of Zhou would take the immortal medicine.

The middle-aged man said: "I can tell you the reason here in advance, that is because King Mu of Zhou saw the true face of immortality in the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West."

This is a legend, but in the age of the owner of the mask, this legendary age is only a few hundred years, which can be said to be true history.

The owner of the mask told the emperor that the immortal medicine given to King Mu of Zhou by Queen Mother of the West must be in the tomb of King Mu of Zhou.

If you want to obtain the method of immortality, you have no other way, so you can only enter the tomb of King Mu of Zhou.

This behavior was an extremely criminal act at that time. After hearing this, the emperor was very frightened and his face turned pale.

Although we now call the emperor, he was just a "public" at that time, and it was not easy to become king. Once this behavior is known by various countries, it is necessary to slap troops to slap his vassal state.

However, the owner of the mask said it was so convincing that his temptation could not be resisted. What everyone in this world could not defeat was time. If he could defeat time, he would naturally be no longer above the same level than those overlords of the same era. Moreover, if he had the secret of immortality, he could naturally be called the emperor.

But even so, this incident made this "public" unable to sleep or eat, because with his current identity, he went to steal the Zhou Dynasty's mausoleum, which was terrifying at that time. It was very important to have a reputation in the master, but how could it be possible to steal a reputation in it?

The owner of the mask gave the emperor an idea. He recommended a strange man as the descendant of the Zhou Dynasty. This strange man could understand the underworld. The emperor built a jade seal and ordered the strange man to go to the underworld to meet King Mu of Zhou and seek the law of immortality. He wished to use the ghost seal as a promise to listen to King Mu of Zhou on earth.

This strange man couldn't wake up for a long time and was placed in an iron coffin and sank into a deep well. He opened it forty-nine days later, carrying the edict written by King Mu of Zhou and a black seal, which was called the "ghost seal". He handed it to the emperor.

The edict confers this strange man as King Shang and the ghost seal as a promise, so that all the items from King Mu’s tomb can be taken.

This is very strange, because the Zhou emperor Mu himself was the King of Zhou, and it is very strange that the king was named King of Kings. However, if it was King of Shang, Shang was the emperor who died prematurely by minors, and was a posthumous title. In other words, this strange man was named King of Shang. In traditional sense, we can think that he was dead.

Then, we can think that King Mu of Zhou once passed the throne to this strange man. After the strange man was granted the title, he died. King Mu of Zhou would pass the throne to others, and this King Shang could be established.

This is a dead Zhou Dynasty emperor who was authorized by the emperor who passed the throne to him and could open the tomb. From various principles, it has nothing to do with the current Duke.
