Chapter 234 The Mystery of Tanlang 3

Yao Bachih looked back at me, his eyes gleaming. "How do you know that?"

"I guessed," I replied. "I guessed from the personality of the star, Tanlang."

"According to the records in the Investiture of the Gods, the star, Qisha, was Zhang Kui, the garrison general of Mianchi during the Shang Dynasty. Zhang Kui successively killed nine generals: Ji Shuming, Ji Shusheng, Chong Heihu, Wen聘, Cui Ying, Jiang Xiong, Huang Feihu, and Tu Xingsun."

"Yang Jian confused his mind with a trick, and he was killed in the siege of Yang Jian, Yang Ren, and Wei Hu."

"The name Qisha (Seven Killings) lives up to its reputation."

"The star, Po Jun (Army Breaker), was Su Quanzhong, the son of Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou. He was as fiery as fire, highly skilled in martial arts, good at using an iron halberd, and brave in the three armies. He once defeated Marquis Chong and killed several of his generals. Being named Po Jun is well deserved."

I looked at Yao Bachih: "Isn't it a bit disappointing that Tanlang (Greedy Wolf) star, E Shun, is on par with Qisha and Po Jun?"

"Hou E Shun of Nanbo, since he raised troops against the Shang Dynasty, seems to have never won."

"First, he was defeated by the four generals of the Mo family. Later, he reorganized his troops to attack Sanshan Pass, and was repeatedly defeated by Deng Jiugong. Finally, he joined forces with the princes of the world in Mengjin to attack Zhou."

"When the army marched into Chaoge, King Zhou fought against the princes of the world. E Shun was no match for him and was slashed off his horse by King Zhou in the melee. Jiang Ziya conferred gods in Qishan and named him Tanlang among the seven stars of the Big Dipper."

"From this point of view, E Shun is not worthy of being ranked with Zhang Kui and Su Quanzhong."

I changed the subject here and said, "However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that E Shun is just a mortal who doesn't know the arts of the unorthodox. And he is fighting against the famous generals of Yin Shang. Isn't it also proof of his strength that E Shun was defeated but not killed?"

"Also, E Shun's failure to take Sanshan Pass may not be due to his lack of strength, but also to the fact that he was waiting and seeing. E Shun didn't want to put himself in danger."

"The princes formed an alliance! E Shun, as the Marquis of Nanbo, was of noble status and held military power. To Xizhou, he was not necessarily a threat. His death under King Zhou's sword may not be as simple as his own lack of strength, right?"

I paused slightly here: "The most important point is, why did Jiang Ziya name E Shun as the Tanlang star when he conferred the gods?"

"Are the two characters, Tanlang, commendatory or derogatory?"

"If you understand it literally, I think Tanlang should be a derogatory term. Greedy and insatiable, as ferocious as a wolf. Are you right?"

Yao Bachih was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's not talk about the myths of the Investiture of the Gods! The tribulation of 'wolves fighting for life' has arrived. As Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren (Yang Jian Life Borrowers), you can't escape this struggle."

"Because, until now, no one has the ability to directly determine the Tanlang fate. Even ghosts and gods cannot determine whose body the Tanlang soul is in. Therefore, every Jie Ming Ren is a target to be hunted."

"Unless..."

Yao Bachih laughed at himself when he said this: "Forget it, it doesn't make any sense to talk about seclusion at this time!"

Yao Bachih said, "You have two choices now. One is to release this coffin, even if it is a coffin! However, you can say it better, such as the Tanlang Golden Hall. I believe many people will pay a high price to take away the Tanlang Golden Hall in your hand!"

I thought for a while and said, "What is the second choice?"

Yao Bachih said with a smile, "Give me your Tanlang Golden Hall, and I will release the news that I snatched the coffin from you. Keep you away from this vortex as much as possible. What do you think?"

The Tanlang Coffin has no meaning to me. I don't want to get involved in the tribulation of the Coffin Gate. It is only good for me to throw the Tanlang Golden Hall out.

However, I don't want to choose Yao Bachih's first proposal. Money is a good thing, but some money is easy to earn but difficult to spend!

If I take out the Tanlang Coffin and I am a Jie Ming Ren, I will immediately become the target of public criticism. There will be many people who want to rob the coffin, and there will be no shortage of people who want to kill me.

Because this coffin will bring countless associations to people. I dare to bet that someone will definitely think that the person who found the coffin has the Tanlang soul in their body.

I don't want to become someone else's prey like this.

As for Yao Bachih's second proposal, I don't want to choose it either.

I have killed all the people in Sheng Province’s sorcerer world who got involved in Zhang Fang’s business. Hei Bai Wuchang (Black and White Impermanence) erased the traces of those people.

Professor Lu of Xiao Mountain had his memory tampered with by Ye Yang.

Feng Ruoxing and Jing Henyun don't know that Ye Yang brought back the Tanlang Coffin.

Now, there are only four people who know that I have the Tanlang Coffin: me, Ye Yang, Yao Bachih, and Wen Yi. I don't need to worry about someone leaking the secret.

Yao Bachih's last words were simply asking for the Tanlang Golden Hall for nothing.

Although I don't care about where this thing goes, I am not willing to give away the thing that Ye Yang and I risked our lives to get to an irrelevant person!

Ye Yang, who had been silent all the time, said at this time: "Want to eat something for free?"

I knocked on the coffin lid in front of Yao Bachih and said, "Old Coffin, do you people from the Coffin Gate pay attention to seizing by skill and plundering by force when doing business?"

Yao Bachih's face became unusually ugly: "How can you talk like that?"

I sneered: "I said, I want your coffin shop, it's to help you. Will you give it to me?"
