Although Zhang Qishan and Zhang Qiling both come from the same family, they have very few interactions with each other. They only met once during the "largest tomb robbery in history". Their relationship is just that they are members of the same family.
The mysterious Zhang family
First, let’s talk about the families of Zhang Qishan and Zhang Qiling.
The Zhang family has always been a very mysterious organization. They have existed for thousands of years and are related to the Queen Mother of the West, because the Zhang family is the descendant of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West greatly extended her lifespan by using sex with animals, but after all, there will be an end one day, so the Queen Mother of the West has been working hard to improve this method. What she has to do is to Immortality becomes eternal life.
Meteorites fell from the sky, and one of them happened to fall in the ancient kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West conducted in-depth research on the meteorite jade and discovered the efficacy of the meteorite jade.
When the snake in her body that shared its lifespan was about to die, the Queen Mother of the West ate the Corpse Pill and entered the interior of the meteor jade. She was waiting for a time point to arrive.
Although the meteorite's landing provided an entry point for Queen Mother Xi's immortality technique, it still caused a lot of chaos to the entire country. The entire country led by Queen Mother Xi was in turmoil because of this meteorite.
The Queen Mother of the West not only wanted to use the meteor jade to realize her dream of eternal life, but she also did not want her country and ministers to perish because of it, so the Queen Mother of the West made the following arrangements:
Some of them followed She continued to stay in their country to help her continue to study the art of immortality; some of them left the Kingdom of the Western Queen and moved to other places, and by the way, they inquired whether meteorites had landed in other places.
The people who stayed in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West were not spared in the end, and they all left one after another. The Queen Mother of the West watched everyone leave her, but she had no choice but to eat the corpse in the end. Chandan enters meteorite dormancy.
The people who left their homeland traveled to Changbai Mountain. They made an astonishing discovery. Somewhere in Changbai Mountain, there was a piece of meteorite that was even larger than the Queen Mother Kingdom of the West.
This group of people settled down near the meteorite, studying the effects of the meteorite while thriving.
This group of people was later the Zhang family and King Wannu.
King Wannu inherited Queen Mother Xi’s rebirth technique, but through their continuous research on meteorite jade, they gained a deeper understanding. King Wannu was able to use meteorite jade to achieve the perfect inheritance of memory. , this is a big progress.
King Wannu and the Zhang family were afraid that the secret of the meteor jade would be leaked and known to more people, which would definitely lead to disputes and killings, so they spent their whole life building a huge bronze door to hide the meteorite jade. Jade quarantined.
In the thousands of years since then, the Zhang family has been responsible for guarding the Bronze Gate. Even though their base camp was moved several times and the family declined, they still did not give up on their mission.
Zhang Qiling’s life experience
The Zhang family made a major discovery as they continued to grow and develop. Kirin blood was found in their family members, but people with this bloodline are rare. .
In order to protect the secret of the Bronze Sect and ensure the purity of the Qilin blood of the family, they have always followed the system of intermarriage within the clan. If someone violates this rule, it will violate the family's taboo and may be expelled. If you leave the family, you will lose your life.
Of course, there are no absolutes in the world. In the modern history of the Zhang family, there have been two special cases of intermarriage between the Zhang family and foreign women.
The first one is Zhang Qiling.
His father met Baima when he was on a mission in Medog. The two fell in love and gave birth to a baby boy.
Baima was selected as a sacrifice for the King of Hell to ride on the corpse. After giving birth to the child, he slept forever under the Tibetan Sea Flower, and the baby boy and his father were also brought back The family is prepared to accept the punishment of the family.
The Zhang family was shocked when they discovered Kirin blood in the baby. People with this bloodline have a high status in the family.
Qilin blood saved the baby boy’s life, but his father was still punished by clan rules and was executed.
It happened that the Zhang family had reached the point of opening the dragon-patterned stone box. Only a handful of people participated in this incident, and they were all core members of the family.
After opening the stone box, they found that the baby inside had died long ago. The Zhang family’s thousands of years of faith had been pinned on this stone box. They could not bear such consequences, so they made an impromptu decision to bring the baby back with him. The baby boy replaced the baby in the stone box and continued to strengthen the tribe's beliefs.
However, the truth about the three-thousand-year-old baby was still exposed, and the family was torn apart. At a critical moment, the boy was pushed to the position of patriarch to resist everything in the family.
"Qi Ling" is the common title for the heads of the Zhang family in the past dynasties. The boy who became the patriarch was called Zhang Qiling from then on, and he was the younger brother who later fought side by side with Wu Xie.
Zhang Qishan’s life experience
As mentioned earlier, there were two cases of intermarriage between foreign races in the Zhang family. One was the younger brother Zhang Qiling, and the other was Zhang Qishan. .
A man from the Zhang family fell in love with an Orion daughter, and they named their child Zhang Qishan.
Also the offspring of intermarriage between the Zhang family and foreign races, Zhang Qishan and his younger brother had completely different fates. Zhang Qishan does not have Qilin blood on his body, so what awaits them is the punishment according to the clan rules.
However, at this time, the Zhang family had begun to decline due to the Three Thousand Year Baby incident, so Zhang Qishan and his son were simply expelled from the Zhang family, and there was no further investigation.
After being expelled from the family, Zhang Qishan came to Changsha and quickly established a foothold here. In addition, he had the unique skills of the Zhang family, and he soon showed his prominence in the process of joining the army and became a decisive figure. status.
Zhang Qishan rectified several major tomb-robber families in Changsha and united them, headed by him, which later became the famous Laojiumen.
Zhang Qishan used a magical power to move a giant Buddha from somewhere and put it in the backyard of a house, so he got the nickname Zhang Big Buddha.
Zhang Dafoye occupies a high position and often interacts with some of the top people. After drinking, he treated some family affairs as gossip after dinner to relieve his boredom. How could he know that the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional? A leader takes it to heart.
Under the arrangement of this leader, Zhang Qishan was ordered to find clues about the family's immortality. However, Zhang Qishan's status in the family is not high, and he was expelled from the family when he was very young, so he knows very little about some things about the family.
It was against this background that Zhang Qishan searched for "Zhang Qiling" across the country, hoping to learn more about his family through Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qishan and Zhang Qiling
It can be seen from Zhang Dafo Lord’s search for Zhang Qiling that although they come from the same family, they have actually not met at this time.
Otherwise, the fake Zhang Qiling would not have passed the audition.
The decline of the Zhang family directly led to the fact that after Zhang Qiling became the clan leader, he was no longer able to guard the Bronze Gate. As a last resort, Zhang Qiling had to go to the Laojiu Sect and reach an agreement with them, hoping to use the Laojiu Sect. The power helps him accomplish this task.
This was the first time Zhang Qiling and Zhang Qishan met.
The "largest tomb robbing activity in history" was launched later. However, heavy casualties were suffered in this activity. As the leader of the activity, Zhang Qiling's authority was seriously questioned. In addition, he suffered from amnesia. After losing his trace, the attitude of the people of Laojiumen towards him changed, so they did not fulfill their agreement with him.
Due to the disappearance of the real Zhang Qiling, when he was buried in the ancient building of the Zhang family, he had no choice but to use the fake Zhang Qiling left over from the previous audition. That is, Banai's shoulder was slumped. His shoulder was also corroded by the strong alkali in the ancient building of the Zhang family during the funeral.
Zhang Qiling and Zhang Qishan had only seen each other once in their lives, and they would never meet again.
Wu Xie and Fatty saw the coffin of the last patriarch of the Zhang family in the ancient building of the Zhang family. Next to the coffin, they saw the family tree of the Zhang family. The dead patriarch was Zhang Qishan's grandfather.
As the next patriarch after Zhang Ruitong, I am very likely to be one generation higher than Zhang Qishan, but this is not described in the book, it is just my guess.
According to the relationship between the Zhang family, Zhang Qiling is the patriarch, and Zhang Qishan’s status in the Zhang family cannot be compared with him, so in theory, when he sees Zhang Qiling, he should bow to the patriarch and ask him.
It’s just that Zhang Qishan has been expelled from the family and has separated from the family in a sense, so there will probably be no such red tape when the two meet.
