The life of Shu Sangzi

Shu Sangzi is a thoughtful person who wants to realize the "Utopia" in his heart. In order to realize his dream, he studied extensively and researched various possible knowledge and methods without any restrictions, such as searching for the ancient artifacts "Demon Refining Pot" and "Xuanyuan Sword", and deeply investigating some mysterious power in the legend of his hometown. (Black Fire), learn "Mechanism Technique", learn Guigu Art of War... and so on. Shu Sangzi's pursuit of "Black Fire" was recorded in detail in a bamboo slip.

When Shu Sangzi was young, he found a small piece of black metal in an ancient temple in his hometown (Shu). That's a small part of the metalized "Black Fire". He found this piece of metal very interesting, so he tried to use this piece of metal to refine demons with other monsters, but unexpectedly, a girl (Wen Jin) was created. This only special case aroused his strong interest in this piece of metal, so he determined to continue to study it in depth.

Shu Sangzi discovered from the ancient documents of his hometown that the owner of "Black Fire" was a mysterious young man named "Qi". According to the ancient legend of his hometown, this "Qi" made a serious mistake (destroyed his own civilization) and was therefore punished by being locked up somewhere in Shu (Qi's moon landing spacecraft) and never allowed to wake up ( This is a gradually metamorphosing legend). The leader of the survivors of the previous generation of civilization, King Cancong, returned to his hometown of Shu after the flood and established the second generation of Shu civilization there. In order to prevent Qi from continuing to study the black fire, King Cancong did not open Qi's hibernation device, allowing him to continue sleeping and forever sealed in his mausoleum underground. At the same time, he also set an ancient taboo passed down from generation to generation, that is, he must not release the "Qi" in his tomb and let him see the nine huge bronze statues in the temple on the ground.

Later, when the Zhou people destroyed the Shang Dynasty, civil strife also happened in the Shu Kingdom. One of them thought of the ancient legend and wanted to find and release the "Qi" in the ruins so that he could awaken the statue of the god that was placed in the temple at that time. However, some loyal people insisted that they were unwilling to let the ambitious elements violate the ancient taboos, so they simply defected to the Zhou people in the Central Plains, and smuggled away the giant statues in the temples, removing fuel from the cauldron and completely cutting off the evil plot of the careerists. Later, these nine statues were presented to the Zhou people as a gift for settling in the Central Plains. From the mouths of these Shu immigrants, Duke Zhou learned about the past taboo legends about "Black Fire" and promised to keep these nine giant statues. Duke Zhou regarded the "black fire" as a noble and mysterious force that resonated with heaven, so he carefully transformed the statue into nine giant tripods. As the national treasure of the Zhou Dynasty, they were placed in the sacrificial chamber of the royal palace in Luoyi.

According to this legend, Shu Sangzi took the pattern brocade and first went to the ruins of the Kingdom of Shu to find Qi. But he did not rashly untie Qi's pupa, but carefully studied some copper plate records left by King Cancong in the local area, and learned that the key to controlling the black fire was the amethyst stone on Qi's forehead and the pupae on his hands. . He found that Qi's forehead was inlaid with a relatively large amethyst stone, and the one on the pupa was smaller. After thinking about it, he was unwilling to take the risk of untying Qi, so he only took off the smaller one.

After that, Shu Sangzi went to Luoyang again and found Jiuding. After some unrecorded research and experiments (recorded in Wenjin's hand), Shu Sangzi discovered that he could use amethyst to control black fire. So Shu Sangzi tried to restore one of the Nine Cauldrons to the form of "black fire", but found that the black fire was far more terrifying than he imagined. Not only could it not realize his utopia, it might even destroy the entire world. In the end, Shu Sangzi voluntarily gave up all plans about black fire, and recorded all the processes and information about "black fire" that he had collected and researched along the way on bamboo slips, and repeatedly emphasized the horror of black fire. This is the content of the bamboo slips that Wen Jin gave to the Immortal in the Pot. And that crystal is the small piece of amethyst used to control the black fire.

Black fire is a substance transformed from the hell space and is a living energy source. To put it simply, black fire is a rift in space, a passage between the human world and hell (similar to the concept of a black hole). It has strong gravity and can open up the two worlds. But the black fire is a rift in space, but it is also a rift in life. When it hovers, it continuously gathers the gravity of darkness and opens the door to hell.

Since the Black Fire is divided into several parts in the story, when it gathers less, the gravity it generates is smaller, and the cracks and hell spaces it opens are smaller; when the Black Fire condenses for a long time, the cracks it creates are smaller. The surrounding hell space will become larger. In the story of "Maple Dance", Shu Sangzi is already an accomplished master-level figure, owns an army of machine soldiers, and has created a terrifyingly powerful large machine war dragon. He was proficient in politics and started to stir up a bloody storm in the Central Plains.

Shu Sangzi was also influenced by the contention of a hundred schools of thought and created his own theory, believing that his theory could bring peace to the world and make people live in peace. I want to achieve this goal myself. Committed to building an utopia in troubled times. They have extreme ideas and believe that the ignorance of the people can eliminate troubled times. In the end, they believe that the ruled people should not have their own thoughts and can only be like animals, ignorant and insensitive, immersed in work all day long to serve the superiors. And he successfully conducted the experiment in his fiefdom, Yanling.

He wanted to gain great power for the ideal country, and learned the art of war, mechanism skills and other knowledge. Because his thoughts were contrary to those of his master, and he was eager to practice and unwilling to talk about theories in Guigu, so he followed his master when he left the master. Guiguzi stole the demon refining pot. In order to explore the use of the demon refining pot, various creatures and even living people (such as people from the deserter group) were used to conduct demon refining experiments. Many failed products became nondescript, even half-human and half-demon. biology.

In order to fight against the Mo faction, political enemy Ance and other forces who opposed him, when a thousand troops led by Qin Huali entered Yanling, the control center of Shu Sangzi's machine chariot guarding the city was destroyed. He had no choice but to release the small world he had built in the demon refining pot. Later, he went to the ancient god-conferring chamber at the bottom of the ghost and god tower in the demon refining pot, took away the Xuanyuan Sword that sealed the immortal head in the pot (the sealer was the protagonist Xuan Yi and Er, He Ran in ancient times), and became the fourth sword master. a master. The machine dragons were also dispatched to counterattack, but they were blocked by the machine troops led by Sun Bin (originally established by Shu Sangzi, and control of the army fell into the hands of the enemy due to Ji Peng's rebellion).

In the end, Shu Sangzi held the Xuanyuan Sword and fought fiercely with Fuzi Che and others who had sneaked into the machine dragon. When attacking Fuzi Che, Sang Wenjin blocked the sword with his body to protect Fuzi Che and accidentally injured Wenjin. His daughter His remonstrance with death made him deeply regretful. Under the auspices of the Immortal in the Pot, Shu Sangzi and Gui Guzi tried to use the demon refining pot to resurrect Wen Jin, but at the critical moment they were attacked and stabbed to death by the intruding lord and noble Ance. On his deathbed, Shu Sangzi begged his enemy Fuzi Che to complete the resurrection of his beloved daughter on his behalf.

After Shu Sangzi died, his old friend Xi Lairen took his body and left: "Sang Jing, you can rest assured, your daughter will live happily. Let's go, I will take you back to your hometown " and was buried in Shu. Ended his magnificent life.
