Chapter fifty-ninth iron in jade
"I have never seen the plot in that tomb. I have dug many Qin tombs, but I have never seen such a plot!" Dai Jinshuang's expression became more and more mysterious. "There was a bronze bowl on each of the heads and feet of the corpse. The bowl was filled with small iron balls. The surface was covered with small eyes as big as needle eyes. When I shook it with my hands, I felt something inside, as if it was hollow, but I don't know what was inside... But with my eyes, I could see that the yin energy between the two copper bowls on the head and tail was comparable to the ground eyes! It was just half a wood and half a stone.
The broken coffin, the body was not rotten at all after more than two thousand years! The coffin was separated from the inside and outside, but the yin energy could not be released at all. The earth yin for thousands of years was slowly sucked in and gathered on the corpse. It must be that the two copper bowls at the head and tail of the coffin were working... Fortunately, I opened the coffin from above, and my body could emit yin energy at that time, so I didn't alarm that thing. If I poked a hole from below and had a yang energy leaked out*, then I wouldn't be able to eat it and leave..."
"What are the iron balls in them?" Zhang Guozhong seemed a little curious.
"It's all jade pieces!" Dai Jinshuang said, "The one engraved on it is the cause of his death!" Dai Jinshuang said.
"The jade block carved with his cause of death... can also gather the shadows and prevent corrosion!?" Zhang Guozhong frowned.
"No..." Dai Jinshuang shook his head, "What really plays a role in gathering the Yin and anti-corrosion are nothing more than the engraving patterns on the copper bowl and the 'soul-locking ring' in the body of the corpse! And the words engraved on the jade block in the iron ball are all for the unfair words of Huan Shi..."
"What is the soul-locking ring...?" Old Liu frowned. He had never heard of such a thing in his debut for so many years.
"That's it! I named the name myself..." Dai Jinshuang took out a matchbox from his pocket, opened the matchbox, and found that it was filled with small jade pillars as thick as match sticks.
"This..." Old Liu took the matchbox and found that the jade pillar inside was the same as the little jade pillar given by Liu Dongsheng as "evidence". "Is this in Huan Shi's body?"
"Yes! After returning to Huan Qi's corpse, I found this in his body! I felt that the pattern on the two copper basins should be a complete set of formations. I found that the simple gathering of Yin can be achieved by just the carvings on the copper basins. But if only the gathering of Yin will be easily sucked in the surrounding Wand, and the effect of this soul-locking ring is like adding a layer of sealed packaging to the corpse. If the soul has already left the body, then just insert this
, Other souls cannot invade the body, but if the soul has not yet left the body... Hehe, insert this into him, he will never think about leaving the body!" After that, Dai Jinshuang took the matchbox back from Lao Liu's hand, "Digging the tomb of Huan Qi is not valuable, but learning such a set of things will also benefit a lot! It will be much more convenient to dig other tombs in the future... But unexpectedly, this thing was finally used on a subordinate who broke the rules..."
"By the way, my police friend has also shown us this thing. It is said that it was discovered from a deceased person in the cultural relics case. The police also found a micro-carving expert, but they said they couldn't do it..." Zhang Guozhong said.
"Micro-carving expert?" Dai Jinshuang sneered, "I have looked for those people at first, but they said they couldn't make them. Now this box of 'soul-locking rings' is all original goods brought out from the pot! That Qin De made it himself!"
"Qin De!?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned. He remembered that he had seen the sentence "Qin De is here, Changping from all over the world". At that time, Lao Liu and Qin Ge argued about the ambiguity of this sentence. Lao Liu believed that "Qin De" refers to the virtue of Qin, while Qin Ge believed that the person who presided over the construction of this cave was called Qin De. Now it seems that Qin Ge's view is correct.
"Yes...! Qin De, the Qin King Ying Zheng, and the great general Huan Qi, were childhood playmates..." Dai Jinshuang's expression seemed to contain a hint of frivolity...
After opening the coffin, Dai Jinshuang's first reaction was to kill Wu Jiang, the subordinate who was going to the tomb, because this person was different from himself and was a real living person. At this time, the darkness in the coffin gathered, and there were living people on the scene. Even if they were breathing, they might get up the corpse. If this corpse gets up, not only can't survive, but no living person can escape within a radius of ten miles.
In order to avoid injuring innocent people, Dai Jinshuang took off the copper basin at the head of the coffin. After the copper basin was removed, the yin energy gathered on the body dissipated to the four sides like a river breaking the dam. In just two hours, the yin energy that had been accumulated for thousands of years had been completely discharged. The corpse that had not been decayed for two thousand years also turned into a rotten corpse within these two hours. To be on the safe side, Dai Jinshuang simply carried the ancient corpse away. Because he was a little disgusted with killing his subordinates in a hurry, he put Wu Jiang's body into the coffin and returned it to the rescue before leaving.
After leaving the tomb, Dai Jinshuang opened the iron balls in the copper bowl as quickly as possible and found that the inside was filled with jade pieces, both large and small. The jade pieces were engraved with seal characters, as if they were engraved in a hurry. After a afternoon of reading, Dai Jinshuang gradually saw some tricks. The words engraved on these jade pieces not only showed the identity of the tomb owner, but also hid a huge secret.
It turned out that King Ying Zheng of Qin had two good friends when he was a child, one was Qin De, the son of Taibu Qin Guanying, and the other was Huan Qi, a city-born. In the record of "Iron-Jade", Qin De was originally a metaphysical genius. He could see the yin and yang of heaven and earth at the age of nine, but Huan Qi was a man of both civil and military affairs. Not only was he powerful and resourceful, he could lift a 200-pound stone pier at the age of eleven.
Ying Zheng's father, Zi Chu, was originally the son of Princess Xia Ji of Qin. Because his mother Xia Ji fell out of favor, she was sent to Zhao State as a hostage by her father, King Xiaowen of Qin. Later, Lu Buwei spared a lot of money to bribe Mrs. Huayang, the favorite concubine of King Xiaowen of Qin, to help Zi Chu ascend to the throne of King Qin, and gave his daughter-in-law Zhao Ji to Zi Chu. Later, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son. Because the Qin State's surname was "Wing", he named the child "Ying Zheng", which was later "Qin Shihuang". Some historical books believe that Ying Zheng was the son of Lu Buwei, but in the records of Qin De's "Iron and Jade", Ying Zheng seemed to be Zi Chu, that is, the biological son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.
After Lu Buwei helped Zichu ascend to the throne of the King of Qin, he was promoted to the prime minister by Zichu. Zhao Ji took it as a matter of course to become the queen. After Zichu's death, Ying Zheng, who was only thirteen years old, succeeded the position of King of Qin. Because he was young, the government was actually controlled by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji. At this time, Zhao Ji, who was lewd by nature, was not willing to be lonely and ignited the love of the past with Lu Buwei. He often had a secret meeting in private until Ying Zheng took power.
After Ying Zheng took power, Lu Buwei, as prime minister, was afraid that the love was exposed, so he found a fake eunuch, Lao Ai, to serve Zhao Ji to satisfy Zhao Ji's lust. Unexpectedly, the widowed queen was pregnant with Lao Ai's child, and could only move to Yongcheng under the name of divination and avoiding disasters. After that, Zhao Ji also knew that the fire could not be contained in the paper, so she colluded with Miao Ai to plot against the rebellion and wanted to make their son replace Ying Zheng as the emperor. Ying Zheng was not prepared at this moment. If he sat there, history might have to be rewritten.
At the critical moment when Zhao Ji and Lao Ai contacted Lu Buwei to plan a rebellion, Qin De used the technique of observing the sky to see the actions of Zhao Ji and reminded Ying Zheng in time. At this time, Ying Zheng had just taken power, and most of the officials were confidants of Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, so Ying Zheng could only use his childhood friend Huan Qi to act as his thug. With his childhood affection, Huan Qi could be said to be obedient to Ying Zheng, and he calmly quelled the rebellion very beautifully. At the same time, he also showed his outstanding military genius. It can be said that without Qin De and Huan Qi, Ying Zheng would probably have been killed by his biological mother before he could unify China.
After dealing with his mother Zhao Ji and the powerful minister Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng wanted to give Qin De and Huan Qia a title, but Qin De refused Ying Zheng's title and insisted on taking on himself as a commoner. According to the "Iron-Jade", Qin De also dissuaded Huan Qia not to accept Ying Zheng's title, but Huan Qia, who was born in the market, never resisted the temptation of high officials and generous salaries, and was eventually named a general by Ying Zheng.
As early as Zichu, when King Zhuangxiang of Qin died, the young Ying Zheng asked Qin De about the cause of his father's death. Qin De's reply was "Only the 95th Lord can own the world, and the king's fate cannot reach the realm, so he died a little bit larger." Since then, Ying Zheng asked Qin De every day about how to obtain the 95th Lord. However, Qin De, who is well aware of the numerology, knows that most of the fates of "Nine Five" are born and difficult to make up for by acquired methods. However, in order not to suppress the enthusiasm of the iron buddies to unify the world, they did not say it clearly. They always just perfunctory things, but unexpectedly, Ying Zheng still remembers the method of "changing the fate of the 95th Lord". Later, Qin De was so annoyed that he casually said "Impossible task", which was
It was necessary to use 100,000 people to sacrifice. Unexpectedly, within a few years, Ying Zheng sent Huan Qi to attack Zhao State and captured 100,000 troops of Zhao State. Qin De was stunned. It was said that "what you say is the water you poured out." If you want to collect it, you can't take it back. Besides, Ying Zheng was the King of Qin and was no longer a boy from his childhood. Living him is to deceive the king. Moreover, this hot pot of "changing the Ninth Five-Year Plan" has been carried by others for so many years. To be honest, not only can he escape death, but he may also implicate his family. Qin De could only bite the bullet and start to study the method that could "changing the Ninth Five-Year Plan". At that time, this matter was absolutely top secret in Qin State, because once other countries learned that the King of Qin wanted to "changing the Ninth Five-Year Plan and unify the world", they would inevitably attack them in groups. By then, Qin State would not be able to bear it...
After countless "living people's experiments", Qin De finally found a method to "change fate of the Nine Five", which is the prototype of the so-called "refining the dragon into an immortal" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The basic principle is to let normal people escape from the number of days. To put it bluntly, it is to combine the principle of animal cultivation to turn normal people into something that "people are not humans, animals are not animals", so that the limit of "nine fives" can be bypassed. At this moment, Qin De suddenly had an unknown premonition, because the reason was that
During the night of astrology, I accidentally discovered that the star representing my good friend Huan Qi could no longer be found. At that time, a magic similar to the soul-sucking spirit had not been invented, so Qin De could only send a secret letter to deceive Ying Zheng and said that he dreamed that Huan Qi's wronged soul was surrounding the palace for a long time and could not disperse, so he threw a stone to Ying Zheng to ask for the truth. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng attached great importance to Qin De's letter and told Qin De that Huan Qi had disappeared due to defeat in the war, and asked Qin De to find a way to calm Huan Qi's resentment.
When Qin De learned that Huan Qi was missing, he also guessed that he and Huan Qi were close friends who grew up naked, and naturally knew Huan Qi's military genius: Although Huan Qi could not win every battle like Chuliji, it was at least considered to be wise and resourceful, and it was no exaggeration to call him an ever-winning general. At present, Qin was mainly fighting with Zhao, and the famous general of Zhao State Lian Po was dead. Even Hu Ji, who had high hopes for the King of Zhao, died at the hands of Huan Qi. Who in Zhao State could force Huan Qi to the point of running away from home? If Huan Qi is really missing, the only explanation is that you are destroyed by Ying Zheng.
Thinking of this, Qin De has completely seen through Ying Zheng. He has been a man of all these years, and he will sacrifice his life and death for you. If you kill him, kill him. If this "Nine Five Number" is really prayed for you, wouldn't he be able to escape death? Thinking of this, Qin De simply changed his original plan completely. Since he was dead at all times, why not use these 100,000 prisoners of Zhao army to seek some benefits for himself?
"He wants to do a 'Nine Five Art' for himself?" Zhang Guozhong asked.
"That's not a 'Nine Five Art' at all. I just said, 'Nine Five Number' is born and no one can change it! If that thing can really be changed, why do I dig a grave? How good is it to change it yourself and become the emperor?" Dai Jinshuang seemed to be very disdainful of Zhang Guozhong's ability to understand Zhang Guozhong. "The method invented by Qin De is the same as I am now, just to mess with people, not humans or ghosts. If you are outside the number of days, you will not die even if you go against the sky!"
"Even if Ying Zheng is unable to die... wouldn't it be uncomfortable if he was tortured like this?" Zhang Guozhong pointed to Dai Jinshuang's eyes.
"He is a master. If he couldn't even solve this problem, Ying Zheng would have solved it first..." Dai Jinshuang snorted coldly, not shy away from the abnormality of his eyes. "I wonder if you understand the 'gene' thing?"
"Gene?" Even Old Liu was stunned when he heard Dai Jinshuang say this. That is the latest achievement of modern medicine. How could it be related to the mysterious technique two thousand years ago?
"When you went to the Huachichi, have you ever seen the 'Jiao Chi'?" Dai Jinshuang asked.
"I've seen it! I've seen it so much!" Old Liu was excited when he heard Dai Jinshuang ask, "I thought that thing was a legendary thing, but I didn't expect there were so many in that pond, which was overwhelming! My mother, now I'm afraid of it!"
"The possibility of accidental formation of that thing under natural conditions is very slim. In order to refine alchemy, Qin De specially invented a method to artificially cultivate "Jiao Chi"!" Dai Jin said, "Use the 'Quo Chin' to refine alchemy, and after eating it, it will become like me. The biggest change in the body is the eyes! But if you use the 'Jiao Chin' to refine alchemy, the body will not change after taking the alchemy, especially the eyes, which are exactly the same as normal people! This point cannot be explained in Taoism. Qiu Chi has eyes, but Jiao Chi has no eyes, so I guess this should be attributed to a genetic problem!"
"I understand..." Zhang Guozhong thought at first that this baby senior brother had made achievements in the genetic field, and it was really a guess...
After learning that Huan Qi was missing, Qin De took advantage of Ying Zheng's opportunity to give Huan Qi a silence to come to the palace and had a secret conversation with Ying Zheng for a night, but Ying Zheng refused to admit that he had killed Huan Qi. In order to show his innocence, he even issued a decree the next day, promising that those who found Huan Qi's whereabouts could be rewarded for five cities.
In fact, Qin De also understood that this was just a show-off. Huan Qi personally escorted 100,000 prisoners of Zhao army to the place where the construction of the Chichichi pool was built. Not only did he know the Qin State's cultivation of the Chichichi pool, but he even knew the specific location. A literati like himself who was powerless and in charge of the construction of the Chichi pool might be spared for the time being, but a martial artist like Huan Qi who was not afraid of the world and went around to fight every day, how could Ying Zheng feel at ease and boldly keep you alive? You killed the man, how could others find their whereabouts? Even if someone knew the inside story, he was lucky enough to live. Do you dare to tell the truth?
Although Qin De's heart was as clear as water, he did not point out Ying Zheng's lies. Ying Zheng seemed to be a little embarrassed at this moment: he was indeed a little disgusted when he killed his brother. He heard that Qin De dreaming that Huan Shin's ghost was not dissipated, and he was even more afraid that his unjust soul would come to settle the score with him. But now he could not tell the truth to Qin De, so he could only signal Qin De to suspend the construction of the charity pool and go all out to find Huan Shin's whereabouts.
To be honest, as long as the deceased has resentment, it is not difficult to find his body. This is why Wang Sizhao had to break up the soul of the old fifth. According to the "Iron Jade", Qin De used the "Star Fallen Array" to find Huan Qi's body within a month and asked Ying Zheng to build a spiritual tomb for Huan Qi. Of course, in order to let Qin De find a way to deal with Huan Qi's wronged soul, Ying Zheng also agreed to Qin De's proposal, but secretly sent a large number of eyeliners to closely monitor Qin De's actions. Qin De was not a fool, and knew that Ying Zheng sent these so-called
Most of the "supervisors" were eyewitnesses, so they used the "Stone Jade" trick to record all the things Ying Zheng had betrayed, and deceived the eyewitnesses to say that "Iron Jade" was part of the tomb bureau. Ying Zheng did not doubt this. In ancient times, people were very concerned about what later generations had to do with themselves. Qin De believed that Ying Zheng was willing to kill loyal ministers who were loyal to him and friends for his own selfishness. It was a kind of treason. If he did not find a way to record this matter, then no one would know about Ying Zheng's vicious and selfish side, so he took the risk of using this trick.
At that time, Qin was fighting, and on the other hand, he had to build a pond, so the finances were relatively tight. Ying Zheng granted Qin De the funds to build a tomb for Huan Qiong, so Qin De had to use a simple method to create a tomb for Huan Qiong, which was the carved patterns on the two copper basins on the head and tail of the corpse. Qin De's original intention was very simple, and he wanted to gather some yin energy in this yin-free and yang-free four-dimensional area so that the buddy's corpse would not be corrupt. However, he did not expect that the power of this shady pattern would last for two thousand years. Because Taoism had not yet been popular at that time, and there was no such thing as salvation, Huan Qiong's resentment was retained on his corpse for more than two thousand years. As the yin energy gathered less and more, it had even become a "time bomb" that was about to break out.
"I finally understand why Liang Sanzang said that eating the grain grown here can give birth to a son..." Dai Jinshuang said, "If according to modern medical analysis, the survival of sperm directly determines the chance of pregnancy, but according to Taoism, whether a man's yang energy is strong or not directly determines the amount of yang essence! Their tomb robbers have been rolling in the tomb for many years. The yang energy is weak and the yin energy is strong, so naturally there is not much yang essence. Not to mention a son, he can't even give birth to a daughter! But if he lives near the tomb of Huan Qi, the yin energy in his body will be gradually absorbed by the tomb in the coffin! The grain grows from the ground, and the ground belongs to the yin, so the average grain will more or less carry a little yin energy, while the grain grown in this field does not contain any yin energy, so in less than a year, you can basically restore your fertility! And living in this place without yin energy, the chance of having a son is naturally very high!"
"Senior brother is indeed knowledgeable..." This passage made Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu speechless, "So, does Qin De's 'Iron Jade' record the specific location of the Chichi?"
"Of course...!" Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly, "If I could learn Qin De's method and catch a few 'Jiao Chi' and come back to refine the pills, I wouldn't have to wear sunglasses every day to see people..." It seems that although Dai Jinshuang doesn't care about her appearance on the surface, she is still quite resentful in her heart...

annotation:
Regarding the direction of yang energy*: In places lower than the ground level, especially in some ancient tombs, the intensity of yin energy is much greater than that of yang energy. In this case, yang energy is moving upward. Although Dai Jinshuang's body shows some animal characteristics and can emit some yin energy, after all, it is still a living "people" and there will be yang energy. If he dig a hole from under the coffin, the possibility of yang energy leaking into the coffin is very high.
If the resentment of the wet corpse has not dissipated, it is very likely that the corpse will be raised after being touched by the yang energy. There are some factions of tomb robbers in Jiangnan. When "entering the coffin to touch the corpse", they have the habit of lying on the body of the corpse with their backs facing down and touching things. In fact, they are afraid that the yang energy released from their breath will cause the corpse to be caused by the corpse when they are facing down.
Taibu*: The official in Qin State was responsible for divination according to the order of the king.
Chuliji*: A famous general of Qin in the middle of the Warring States Period. The half-brother of King Huiwen of Qin was named Ji, because he lived in Chuli (some say Chuli). He was ridiculous and wise, and the Qin people called him "think tank".
Star Death Array*: Ancient magic array that has been lost for a long time. Ancient people believed that every constellation in the sky represents a great figure in the world. If a star in the sky falls, it also means that the great figure is dead. Star Death Array is a spell that determines the direction of the "fall" of the constellation. As long as you keep following the direction of the constellation falling determined by the "Star Death Array", the body of the deceased will be found. (To be continued)
