Chapter 815 Elixir
Sixty years of the Shang Dynasty.
A period of time passed.
During the reign of Emperor Shang, he continued to lead troops to attack the barbarians and make the princes of the world surrender.
Not only that, Shang also married hundreds of concubines and gave birth to more than 300 sons. His sons also inherited his bravery and had various strange and extraordinary abilities. Among them, Qi, Zhao, Ming, Hai, Jiao , soup, etc. are the most outstanding.
With the help of his sons, Shang defeated strange beasts such as the cockroaches, snakes, ferocious beasts, tiger dragons, etc., thus making the territory generally stable and ushering in a prosperous age.
The population of Shangyi multiplied and reached about 10 million, making it the largest country in the world and commanding power all over the world.
…
Yindu.
In the gorgeous Shang Palace.
The young and handsome Tang Ban knelt on the ground: "Greetings to my father!"
There was no response from the high throne, which made Tang feel as if there was a stone in his heart.
In recent times, Emperor Shang's temper has become increasingly moody, and he even killed several ministers and sons. Even though Tang was also a prince, he was still trembling with fear when facing Shang.
"Get up."
After a long time, Tang finally heard a voice and stood up.
At this time, he finally saw his father huddled under the mysterious black robe.
He looked so tired, his face was full of wrinkles and age spots, his hair was gray, and his body was a lot hunched...
Yes, sixty years have passed and Shang has become old.
The Queen Mother of the West's magical elixir can transform the bloodline, but it has no function of extending life.
At this time, Shang can be said to be approaching the end of his life.
And the more times like this the king becomes crazier and unpredictable in mood and anger.
Shang looked at himself who was aging day by day and his sons in their prime, how could he not feel resentful or resentful?
These heirs, whom he was once proud of, are silently waiting for his death so that they can take over his power, just like... he once did to his mother!
A generation of heroes has finally become a stranger.
Shang's eyes became darker and darker, but his heart was filled with strong unwillingness.
He hasn't lived enough!
"Your Majesty! Xia begs to see you!"
At this time, Xia, who was also an old man, came outside the palace. After Shang nodded, he quickly walked in, holding a large number of bamboo slips in his hand: "Your Majesty, after twenty years of compilation, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" It finally came out..."
Xia tremblingly said.
"Bring it to me and see!"
Shang took a scroll of bamboo slips, opened it at random, and saw a line of Shang's writing - "In Mount Gui, the Mengshui comes out of Yan, and the south flows into the ocean water, which contains many yellow shells." The cockroach fish has the body of a fish but the wings of a bird, and its sound is like a mandarin duck. When you see it, there will be great floods in the town. ’
After the bamboo slips, there is a sketch. Although it is not lifelike, it also fully reveals the characteristics of the fish.
"Very good, Xia, you are worthy of being my 'internal history'!"
Shang flipped through the scrolls, and when he saw the last scroll, he suddenly stopped and his hands were trembling.
‘In the west of the wilderness, there is a sacred mountain called Kunlun. The Queen Mother of the West lives on it. There is a magical elixir of immortality. If you take it, you can live forever! ’
"This, this, this...is it true?"
Shang stood up, breathing heavily, and grabbed Xia.
Even though he is old, his bravery and invulnerability are still there!
In an ordinary army, killing three in and three out is still not a problem!
"This... is just a legend from a few Xiyi tribes, but... it seems that Kunlun does exist."
Xia answered loudly.
"Haha! Haha! Okay! Okay!"
Shang Du left Xia with bright eyes: "Gather my warriors and my sons... Let them prepare armor, soldiers and horses... I am going to Kunlun in the far west to obtain the elixir of immortality and live another life!"
"Father, why don't you let me bring heavy gifts and go to Kunlun Mountain to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother of the West..." Tang Jian said: "It would be rude to go with soldiers and horses..."
"Haha, my son, haven't you understood yet? What the king wants can only be obtained through a bronze sword!"
Shang laughed and replied.
He is a lonely wolf who only eats the prey he hunts and disdains the carrion discarded on the ground.
This is also determined by his heroic character and cannot be changed.
After all, West Kunlun is thousands of miles away. If the gift-giving plan is rejected, you still have to take the knife. It would be a waste of time to go back and forth.
Therefore, it is better to lead the army and fight all the way, paying homage first and then attacking.
How terrifying is the will of the emperor?
Shang immediately summoned his "Sixth Division of the Son of Heaven", which was also the standing army of the Yin Dynasty. It was equivalent to the imperial army of the Song Dynasty. There were a total of 30,000 people. They marched along the way, opening mountains and building bridges when encountering rivers, and defeated countless soldiers. A tribe blocking the road finally arrived near Kunlun Mountain.
In fact, although the Tianzi Sixth Division is not a decoration, the real elite main force is the 'parent-child camp' composed of Shang's sons.
After all, Shang was created by the divine elixir, and his sons also inherited the bloodline. They were innate gods and demons, and they were the second generation with the strongest bloodline.
Any bloodline will be accompanied by inheritance, and the concentration will continue to decrease, gradually disappearing from everyone.
Especially Qi, Zhao, Ming, Hai, Jiao, and Tang, each of them can hunt tigers in the mountains, catch dragons in the river, and fight against strange beasts single-handedly, no less than Shang in his youth!
At this time, Shang took his sons to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Looking at the majestic and vast sacred mountain, his face was full of shock.
"It's really... magnificent!"
Tang exclaimed: "I have also heard of the legend of Kunlun, but when I saw it today, I realized that his title of 'The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains' is well-deserved!"
Ming smiled and said: "Only this mountain is worthy of our father. How about we drive away the Queen Mother of the West and use this place as our father's palace?"
"Be careful!"
Xia Ye dragged this old bone with the army. At this time, he pulled Shang's saddle and persuaded: "The Queen Mother of the West is the head of the female immortals and the god of orders! The king needs to be respectful. It is time to dismount and walk up the mountain to send a request for heavy profits. That's..."
"Huh, I still need you to teach me?"
Shang threw Xia away with a look of disapproval on his face.
But they didn't notice that Xia, who had fallen on the ground, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a strange smile...
…
At this moment, a girl wearing a gauze palace dress came down from the mountain and asked, "Who are you and why are you here in Kunlun?"
"I am Wang Ziqi, and behind me is the emperor of our great business. We have prepared the jade from Kunshan and the pearl of Sui Liu as gifts. We want to meet the Queen Mother of the West."
He took a step forward.
"You go away, our queen will not see outsiders!"
Shao Siming smiled.
"I don't know how to praise. In the whole world, it's the king's land...haven't you heard this sentence?" Ming Da said angrily.
"Haha, just a bunch of ants-like mortals, how dare you say such arrogant words?" Shao Siming said with a smile: "Where do you put us 'gods'?"
"What kind of gods are you? Everything recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are all strange beasts!" Jiao said angrily: "Father, do it! Let's go grab the elixir of immortality!"
Shang pondered for a moment, looked at the arrogant Shao Siming, and slowly pulled out the bronze dagger...
