Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 62: Pre-Shang, Post-Zhou

During the dozen days of treating Zhao Xingyue's injuries, Wang Wu finally had a relatively systematic understanding of this world, or more precisely, the common sense of the human world.

Although it is still in its early stages, it is obvious that we should take a closer look at it after three days of absence.

Out of gratitude to Wang Wu, Zhao Xingyue also told Wang Wu in detail about the tomb. Although Yuan was the owner of the tomb, she had already died by then, and the number of burial objects in her tomb might not be known to outsiders.

But after all, he lived there, so Yuan had a lot of time to wander around in the tombs and had some understanding of it.

But because he was only wandering around his main tomb chamber, he didn't go to all places.

As the most beloved daughter of the previous Shang King Di Yi, Yuan's tomb is of extremely high standards and huge in area, and is of the same level as that of the Shang king at that time.

Emperor Yi even buried an entire army with his daughter.

It's not the kind of model army of Qin Shi Huang, but the real elite troops of the dynasty, including chariots, cavalry, and even a "spaceship".

Of course, they were not their own personal troops, but each vassal state contributed a little, for a total of 9,999 people.

The specifications were not many, but according to Zhao Xingyue, a later generation, it laid the hidden danger for the subsequent demise of the Shang Dynasty.

However, the spaceship was indeed produced by the Shang royal family. The production of this thing was not high, and sometimes the Shang king himself would not be willing to bury this thing with him.

And that spaceship was the reason why Zhao Xingyue and her group of cultivators went to Ziyuan's Tomb.

A spaceship is a ship that can fly in the air, not the spaceship that Wang Wu imagined when he first heard the name. But to be honest, it's not far off.

Spaceships are a unique technology of the Shang Dynasty, and this technology has been largely lost today.

When the Shang Dynasty fell, the core territories of the empire were eroded and corrupted, turning into the "forbidden areas" of today. And these forbidden areas have become places that people today avoid as much as possible.

This ancient empire rose from a distant barbaric era, prospered by demon sacrifices, and finally perished in demonic disasters.

The 'Shang Dynasty' in this world is obviously completely different from the 'Shang Dynasty' in Wang Wu's hometown. This is a huge ancient empire where slavery and feudal systems coexist, it is highly developed, primitive, ignorant, advanced and cruel.

Its unique theocracy-monarchy social system has been developed to a very complete level, and its social productivity is also extremely advanced. The destructive power of the "spaceship" described by Zhao Xingyue alone is enough to overwhelm the entire Earth in his hometown in the 18th century.

'In the year of Xu Zi, the king went to attack the Zhou Yi, sending out an army of 7,000 and two ships. The ships struck the sea until it was boiling, and boiled the sky until it cried blood, and the Zhou Yi became his vassal.'

The Great Zhou was once one of the vassal states of the Shang Dynasty, but before becoming a vassal state of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou people were also considered a kind of "barbarian" in the eyes of the Shang people.

So they sent an army to conquer the Zhou Kingdom. The beams of light from the spaceships boiled the sea and burned the sky until tears of blood fell.

Wang Wu didn’t know whether this was an exaggeration or not, but thinking about the extraordinary power possessed by this world, it seemed that this could indeed be done.

Even this is considered a very common performance, if the otherworldly skills that Wang Wu practiced are also counted. But there is no spaceship in Yuan's tomb. This is what Wang Wu and Yuan, the demons, learned when they were learning foreign languages ​​from each other after Zhao Xingyue told Wang Wu the details of Yuan's tomb.

Yuan also knew that her father had buried a spaceship with her, because some of the burial objects were decided before her death, and the tomb was also built before her death. But in Yuan's tomb, the place where a spaceship should have been parked was empty.

The main tomb chamber of Yuan is just above the spaceship. Go out and walk down a flight of stairs, and there is the 'Yuan' prepared for her by her father Di Yi.

But no, nothing.

Thinking back to the process of Yuan waking up, according to the memories she shared with Wang Wu, after her death, her consciousness fell into endless darkness, but for some reason, she never sank. She maintained this state and existed in eternal darkness.

Unable to think, her mind was stagnant, but she could still feel clearly. At that time, her mental state was close to "nothingness", but the "I" had not completely disappeared.

It was probably this state that prevented her from completely collapsing in this long darkness, allowing her to continue to this day. And when a crack appeared in the eternal darkness, her consciousness gradually began to flow again.

When all the darkness collapsed, her self-awareness was completely restored.

She floated out of the coffin, walked down the stairs to heaven, and came to the "heaven", but the world that came into her eyes was still the mortal world.

The familiar tomb, the disappeared spaceship, and the various murals in the tomb that she personally selected and painted on the walls.

When she saw that scenery, she felt confused and doubtful. With such doubts, she began to walk out, out of the tomb, and came to the Dead Soul Mountain.

However, after coming to the outside world, she realized that this was no longer the place where she had lived in the past, nor was it the world where she had lived in the past.

The Great Shang Dynasty has perished.

Yuan was born in the late Shang Dynasty. She was the third daughter of Emperor Yi, the second-to-last ruler of that dynasty. When she was sacrificed, everyone already knew about the decline of the empire.

As a princess, Yuan was very clear about the vassal states' restlessness, the reduction of annual tribute, and the apparent harmony between the Great Witch Group and the royal family.

Even though she was not trained by the King of Shang as a successor, she was born in the Purple Room after all, so she could not be insensitive to the decline of her family's control over power and ruling ability.

The grand sacrifice was indeed useful, and it brought a small golden age to the Shang Dynasty. But it was like the last glimmer of light before a person dies, and it was the last bit of light that could shine.

After Emperor Yi, Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne. He was Emperor Yi's youngest son. Ninety years later, the demonic disaster broke out, and the major feudal states took advantage of the situation to defect. The Zhou people emerged as a new force in the chaotic world, and eventually the Shang Dynasty perished and was replaced by the Zhou Dynasty.

Yuan didn't seem to be sad about the demise of her country, and took it lightly. At least when Yuan shared her memories with him, Wang Wu didn't feel any emotion from her.

Wandering in the mountains, Yuan came to Wang Wu and was dealt with by Wang Wu.

Speaking of which, Wang Wu only learned about Yuan's past in the past few days, because this female demon had only given him death replays to disgust him. This was also an important basis for Wang Wu to believe that she was a ghost.
