After Lin You spoke, Cui Xiuxiu immediately listened attentively.

"In history, the ancient Dian Kingdom has always been an extremely mysterious existence. This ancient country appeared in the early Warring States Period and was officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han."

"According to ancient books, after the ancient Dian Kingdom surrendered, Emperor Wu of Han's "give the seal of the Dian King and restored his people" officially became the symbol of the ancient Dian return to the Han Dynasty."

Cui Xiuxiu said in confusion: "What's the mystery about a mere vassal state of the Han Dynasty?"

Lin You explained: "Because after the demise of the ancient Dian Kingdom, this ancient country seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

"In theory, any ancient civilization will leave some traces."

"However, on the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom, except for some bronzes, there are no traces of the ancient Dian people who have ever existed."

"There are no corpses, no tombs, and even... the ruins of the ancient Dian capital were not found."

"Some people say that the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom sank into Fuxian Lake, but someone has conducted surveys and no ruins of the capital were found at the bottom of the lake."

"Of course, it may also be due to changes in the earth's crust that the ruins of the capital were completely buried in the mud, but these are just speculations. Even if they can be technically realized, no one will dig out the mud at the bottom of the lake for a guess."

"And not only did the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom disappear, but even the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared without a trace."

"You know, even if an ancient country has experienced destruction, it does not mean that it has been completely exterminated."

"However, after the fall of the ancient Dian Kingdom, the descendants of the ancient Dian people seemed to have completely disappeared into historical records."

"And, in addition to this, most of the bronze ware unearthed here are full of strange feelings."

"I once saw a bronze ware unearthed from the ancient Dian Kingdom in the museum."

"That bronze ware records the scene of sacrifices in the ancient Dian Kingdom."

"The bronze altar used for sacrifices is filled with bronze villains."

"The witch recites spells, the witch raises her knees and dances, and the slaves who sacrifice on the headhunter pillars look hideous."

"You must know that the social system of the ancient Dian Kingdom was quite backward."

"When the Han Dynasty was already in a feudal society, the ancient Dian Kingdom was still in a slave society and even liked to sacrifice people's lives. The sacrifice process was particularly cruel."

"What's even more strange is that there are two extremely strange villains above the altar."

"One of them, wearing a bronze mask, sat upright on the platform, and beside him was a woman with a human head and snake body."

Choi Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Human head and snake body, isn't that Medusa?"

Lin You shaved her perky nose in anger.

This little girl is really not good at anything she is in the first place.

Liu Biao, who was standing by, smiled and followed Lin You's words: "I have heard of this legend. It is rumored that the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom had an extremely ugly face, so he wore a bronze mask all day long and was unwilling to show his true face."

"And that monster with the head and snake body is his princess. The people of the ancient Dian Kingdom are very afraid of him and they all call him "Snake Concubine" behind their backs."

"The Snake Concubine of the Ancient Dian Kingdom?"

Choi Soo-soo blinked her beautiful eyes: "This title is really interesting."

More than two thousand years ago, along the Dianchi Lake, the ancient Dian Kingdom was mysteriously born, but disappeared bizarrely.

No one even knows where the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom's capital were located.

This ancient bronze city seems to be indeed shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Then, Cui Xiuxiu asked curiously again: "What about Ailao Country? Is there any mysterious legend in this ancient country?"

Lin You glanced at her helplessly.

He now figured it out. This little girl didn't care about the origin of the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom at all. She came just to listen to the story.

"Compared with the ancient Dian Kingdom, Ailao Kingdom is not that mysterious."

"Because Ailao country produces a lot of elephants and people there like to ride elephants, Ailao country is also called the Elephant Kingdom or the Elephant Kingdom."

"The Ailao Kingdom is located in a remote geographical location, far from the orthodox Chinese state. Like the ancient Dian Kingdom, it was discovered by Emperor Wu of Han during the Western Han Dynasty."

"However, compared with the ancient Dian Kingdom that surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the Ailao Kingdom seemed much tougher."

"During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han sent troops many times to subdue Ailao, but they all suffered defeat."

"This was a big setback for Emperor Wu of Han who was in full swing at that time."

"It was not until the Yongping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Liu Mao, the king of Ailao, surrendered to the Han Dynasty."

"Just just as Emperor Wu of Han gave the ancient Dian king the 'Dian King's Seal', the emperor at that time also gave Liu Mao a 'Ailao King'."

Cui Xiuxiu chuckled and said, "One of the Seal of the Dian King and the Ailao King's Era, this is quite neat."

"If you want me to tell me, the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom are really destined to be together."

Lin You smiled and said, "It's a pity that these two ancient countries don't think so."

"In that era, wars often broke out between the ancient Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom."

"Even when Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to Ailao, the ancient Dian Kingdom sent troops to provide assistance."

"Although wars broke out quite frequently in that era, there were so many frictions between the two countries that the relationship should not be much better."

"And there is also a pretty interesting rumor about Kyulong, the first king of Ailao Kingdom."

"In ancient times, Ailao Country was even called the Kingdom of Dragons."

"It is said that in the distant ancient times, there was a woman at the foot of Ailao Mountain. She came to the riverside to catch fish as usual, but accidentally encountered a sunken tree in the river."

"However, something strange happened. As a widow, the woman, after returning home, became pregnant not long after she returned!"

"And after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to ten sons."

Hearing this, Choi Soo-soo couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "Ten children? Wouldn't that be even better than a sow?"

Lin You ignored her and continued to speak: "Just not long after the child was born, a huge dragon suddenly broke through her door and appeared in her home."

"The dragon claimed to be transformed from the sinking tree in the river, and came to ask the woman for the ten children she gave birth to for herself."

"After seeing the ferocious look of the dragon, nine out of the ten sons were scared away, and only the youngest son was still sitting in place with his back facing the dragon."

"Seeing this, the dragon approached and licked his back, allowing him to inherit the dragon's bloodline."

"And that youngest son is Kyu-Long."
