There was no unnecessary delay.
The story on stage continues to unfold rapidly.
In order to help the Duke of Lu collect gold and silver treasures to replenish the state treasury.
King Lu Shang actually led his army to plunder tombs and loot the burial goods of the tomb owners.
Because he feared the grave sins of grave robbing, he even dared not use his real name to command the army.
He simply gave himself a new title: Tomb Raider Captain!
From then on, he lived in anonymity, devoting himself wholeheartedly to serving the Duke of Lu.
"I've heard my grandfather mention the position of Tomb Raider Captain. It really existed in ancient Chinese history, originating from the Cao Wei regime!"
"So, the story Wang Yueheng told wasn't made up out of thin air, but has historical basis!"
"Could it be that the historical figure upon whom the Duke of Lu was based is Cao?"
"So, the woman of King Lu Shang was abducted by 'Cao Mengde'?"
"It's true that Cao Cao had a penchant for married women!"...
With the emergence of the term "tomb raider".
Some netizens who were familiar with this ancient military position immediately began to discuss and speculate about it.
On stage, Duke Lu is suddenly pursued by his enemies and finds himself in danger.
The valiant King Lu Shang arrived just in time with his troops and rescued the Duke of Lu and his concubine.
It was only then that he was surprised to discover.
The woman he had loved for so long, Yaoyue, had actually married the Duke of Lu as his concubine.
Only then did Yao Yue realize that her beloved man, King Lu Shang, was not dead.
Both of them were deceived by the treacherous Duke of Lu!
King Lu Shang, who had always fought tooth and nail for Duke Lu, was now heartbroken and prepared to elope with his beloved Yao Yue.
Unexpectedly, news of the two's plan to elope reached the ears of the Duke of Lu.
Enraged, the Duke of Lu pretended to be unaware of the situation and sent King Shang of Lu to a distant place to rob a tomb.
Meanwhile, he was in the palace, trying to persuade his concubine Yaoyue to leave King Lushang, but Yaoyue, who was equally steadfast in her character, resolutely refused.
In an unexpected turn of events, the Duke of Lu accidentally killed the concubine.
He learned that his beloved had been murdered.
King Lu Shang, who had been transferred to a foreign land, was heartbroken.
It was only then that his sergeant, Iron Face, told the general some news.
In a mysterious Western Zhou royal tomb, there is a "jade cocoon garment" made of a mysterious jade artifact.
This jade pupa garment sheds its skin once every hundred years. Each time it sheds its skin, it can make the wearer young again, or even bring them back to life.
Upon hearing this news, in order to revive his beloved woman Yaoyue, King Lu Shang resolutely set out to find the Western Zhou tomb.
And indeed, this mysterious jade pupa garment was found inside a Western Zhou tomb.
The owner of this jade cocoon was none other than the legendary King Mu of Zhou!
And King Mu of Zhou, who was wearing the "jade cocoon" of immortality, was actually still alive!
For his woman.
King Lu Shang hardened his heart and dragged King Mu of Zhou, who had lived for more than five hundred years, out of the jade cocoon.
And then they put this jade cocoon on the body of the already deceased Yaoyue.
King Mu of Zhou, who was about to undergo a transformation, turned into a blood corpse and was sealed in the Seven Star Stone Coffin by King Shang of Lu.
This was the same terrifying blood corpse that everyone encountered at the beginning.
In order to prevent the news of the Jade Pupa Cloth from leaking out and attracting the covetousness of tomb raiders, the secret of the jade pupa cloak was kept secret.
King Lu Shang, on the advice of his strategist Tie Mian, then...
The artisans and soldiers who built the "Seven Star Tomb" here, along with the ghost soldiers summoned by the "Ghost Seal," were all killed.
"Holy crap, that's terrifying! That blood corpse was actually King Mu of Zhou, who lived for five hundred years!"
"King Mu of Zhou, you've really suffered a terrible fate!"
"No wonder the story begins with King Mu of Zhou's western expedition to Kunlun. This jade cocoon garment must have been a token given to him by the Queen Mother of the West!"
"Those corpse beetles must have been kept as tomb guardians by the elixirs given to them by the Queen Mother of the West!"
"King Lu Shang is quite a ruthless character; he'll do anything for his woman!"
"Isn't this the elixir of immortality that Qin Shi Huang sought?"...
As the true identity of the terrifying blood-soaked corpse was revealed at the beginning, the audience was once again horrified.
They were also shocked by King Lu Shang's ruthlessness.
That's when it dawned on me.
It turns out that Wang Yueheng's script was not wrong.
The King Mu of Zhou mentioned at the beginning is merely the starting point of the story.
The true protagonist is still King Lu Shang of the Warring States period.
Just when everyone thought that the tyrannical King Lu Shang would rise up in rebellion.
