I am skeptical about Zhang Liqun's insistence that this piece of jade is the legendary He's Bi. Because if Qin Shihuang really made the He's Bi into a jade seal, this thing should not be what it is now.
, if it is not made into a jade seal, but is hidden as a treasure in one's own tomb, then what is the purpose of placing it alone on the top of this dark grotto?
I put the jade on the ground and observed it carefully, but I didn't find anything special. To be honest, the material of this jade is not even high-end, only middle-to-upper-grade. Such a material cannot be the legendary one.
NCM.
But since it is placed here, it must have its special function.
"Zhao Zhen, put it back again." I looked up at the place above where the jade stone was originally embedded, and said to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen nodded, and under Zhang Liqun's extremely worried eyes, he returned the jade stone to its place.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Liqun asked dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, I'll return it to you after use."
So, I shined the flashlight on the edict again. Logically speaking, even if the edict is made of silk, no matter how exquisite the workmanship is, diffuse reflection will definitely occur on the surface due to the distribution of longitude and latitude threads, so it is unlikely to produce a mirror-like surface.
The same reflected light. In this case, there may be some kind of series connection between the two through light.
"Did you find anything?" Hu Bing asked from the side.
"The jade on it should be some kind of key. The light reflects on it and triggers the hidden mechanism."
"A mechanism? Where is the mechanism?" Zhang Liqun said disdainfully, "I think it's better to take it off."
Hu Bing glared at Zhang Liqun. She was also impatient with Zhang Liqun, "Mr. Zhang, you'd better sit down and be patient!"
Zhang Liqun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Gao Yuhan, who was standing by, seemed to have the same idea as me. He squatted down and tried to adjust the position of the edict. Then, a magical scene happened. As the edict adjusted its position, the light and shade of the emitted light also changed, etc.
When you adjust it to the brightest angle, you will see a bright green light suddenly shining from the jade above.
"Look, there is light!" Everyone was shocked.
I saw that the jade was like a light bulb that was powered on, lighting up the entire grotto. The green light shone vertically and was projected onto an extremely smooth stone.
"Look, there are words on the stones."
"The words on it are not in the edict." I looked at the words illuminated on the stone and felt incredible. "The design of this mechanism is really ingenious, and the skills of the craftsmen are definitely top-notch even today."
"Stop saying it's useless and tell me what's written on it." Everyone urged from the side.
"This part of the content is a hidden part of the sinner's edict, and it talks about Changxin Hou Lao Ai."
"Lao Ai?"
"Yes, it is written above that because the affair between Lao Ai and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was exposed, Lao Ai was worried that Ying Zheng would attack her, so she decided to strike first and wanted to kill Ying Zheng and replace him. The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji
After learning about Lao Ai's actions, not only did he not stop Lao Ai from plotting rebellion, but he became Lao Ai's accomplice and even actively persuaded Lao Ai to raise an army!"
"What? Zhao Ji persuaded Lao Ai to raise an army? Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Could it be that Zhao Ji's heart is a stone? He is her own son." Zhang Liqun couldn't help but shook his head and said, "This is really unbelievable."
"Zhao Ji naturally did not want to see a child born in ten months of pregnancy be killed by the rebel army. However, the arrow had to be fired again. Lao Ai had been forced into a desperate situation. If he did not kill Ying Zheng
, Ying Zheng will definitely kill him, and for Zhao Ji, she
There is a fatal weakness."
"What weakness?"
"child!"
"child?"
"Yes, Zhao Ji and Lao Ai have two children. These two children became Zhao Ji's heart at that time, which directly caused her to unprincipledly side with Lao Ai."
"Oh, this is such a miserable woman." Yelu Qinghui sighed with emotion, "But I still find it unbelievable. On one side is the child I raised with all the hardships, who is the king of the Qin Empire, and on the other side is the child I gave birth to with my lover.
Such a bastard, how could she be willing to kill her own son for the sake of two of her own flesh and blood?"
"To be precise, Zhao Ji is not doing it for her child." I shook my head and said, "She is doing it for her lover."
"For Lao Ai?!" Everyone stared at me, expecting my answer.
"Yes, for Lao Ai, Zhao Ji wants a lover rather than a son."
"how do I say this?"
"Because once Zhao Ji turns to Ying Zheng, although Ying Zheng can survive, what she faces is the deep cold palace, the endless sunset of the lonely city of Yong City, and she turns to Lao Ai, her son is still there, and her lover is by her side.
She is still the empress dowager who cares about the world, so after all, she has suffered no loss at all."
"Is this written in the edict? Or did you make it up yourself?" Everyone was questioning me.
I pointed to the words in the edict and explained: "Can I make up such a ridiculous joke? It's all written in the edict. Zhao Ji's truest thought in her heart is to save Lao Ai. She lost her husband early and suffered from loneliness.
"Bitter, maybe she was born a woman unwilling to be lonely, and she couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness. She became a little girl when she shouldn't be. This is Zhao Ji's saddest fate."
"Don't you think she is despicable?" At this time, Hu Bing, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly said coldly.
I raised my head and glanced at her, then fell silent.
I was not surprised when Hu Bing said such words. Of course, to outsiders, they wouldn't feel anything wrong, but I read a feeling that others were unaware of.
To be honest, Hu Bing is not as good as Zhao Ji.
Chen Yina seemed to have something to hide. She looked at me eagerly, her eyes revealing some kind of message, as if she was telling me what choice she would make if she were Zhao Ji. I hope she doesn't choose to be with Zhao Ji.
Ji is following the same path, because while being despised by the world, he will also suffer in silence.
"If you were Lao Ai, what would you like Zhao Ji to do?" Chen Yina asked.
Sure enough, she asked anyway.
While she was asking the question, Hu Bing also looked at me, as if he was also expecting my answer.
"What if I were Lao Ai? Haha, this is a good question. As a concubine, I will be very low-key. This is the duty of a concubine. If nothing happens, I can be under the emperor's nose, even under his eyes.
I have tacitly agreed to maintain a long-term relationship with Zhao Ji. This is not only to protect myself, but also to maintain the dignity of the royal family. The most important thing is to maintain a long-term relationship. Without this, nothing else can be discussed."
Chen Yina rolled her eyes at me, "You said the same thing. I think you have already had this plan in mind. Do you want to be a contemporary Lao Ai?"
"I want to do it. Are you Zhao Ji?"
Chen Yina was so angry that she was about to raise her hand, but suddenly the whole hole shook, and I realized something was wrong.
"What happened?" I quickly put the edict away and put it in my pocket. When I was about to take off the jade on top again, I found that the jade had completely melted.
"Is this jade a mechanism?" I suspect that another function of this jade is
It is a mechanism. Once the jade is activated, it will emit fluorescence. The source of this fluorescence is the chemical reaction emitted by the jade after receiving light. As the reaction continues, the jade will gradually disappear. When it finally reaches a certain level, the jade will
Trigger mechanism.
"Get out of the way!"
Everyone scattered and hid under the wall, but I soon realized that doing so would lead to more dangerous things happening. When I was about to turn around and warn them, the cave wall behind us exploded with a "bang".
Because we were all leaning against the cave wall, our whole body's weight was placed on our backs. Now that the supporting point on our backs was gone, we all leaned back.
After hearing a few splashing sounds, a biting coldness spread throughout my body, and I knew we had fallen into the underground river.
"Yina!" In desperation, I only grabbed Chen Yina's hand, but Hu Bing was washed away by the water.
"Are you okay?" I held Chen Yina tightly in my arms, because I couldn't leave the water, so I could only let it wash away.
The current of the underground river is very fast, which I did not expect. My whole body is stimulated by the cold water and I have no strength at all. I can only move with the flow of the water.
I'm not afraid of the movement of the water. What I'm most afraid of now are the stone thorns protruding from the cave wall. If I accidentally touch them, I will lose a layer of skin even if I die.
What I was worried about still happened. While being carried by the current, my head was hit hard by something, and I lost consciousness.
I didn't know how long I had been asleep, but I slowly opened my eyes, and what I saw was Chen Yina's anxious face.
I suddenly thought of Hu Bing, grabbed Chen Yina's arms tightly with both hands and asked, "Where is Hu Bing?"
Chen Yina might be a little angry, because the first thing I said was not concern for her but Hu Bing. He tilted his head and glanced at me, then touched my forehead with his hand and said, "You don't have a fever.
what happened."
Hearing Chen Yina's words, I shook my head and said, "Nothing." Then I lowered my head and thought about what happened before I fainted.
When I raised my head again, I found that there were only two people here, Chen Yina and me.
"Where are the others?" I looked at Chen Yina and asked.
Chen Yina snorted through her nose and said, "I don't know, you were the only one next to me when I woke up."
"Weren't we washed down together?" I looked at Chen Yina and asked.
"Probably not, the flow of the underground river is very fast, maybe they were washed away to other places." Chen Yina touched her head and said.
I nodded, what Chen Yina said was not unreasonable.
"Did you pull me ashore?" I raised my head and asked again.
Chen Yina sighed and said: "I don't even know how I got here, how could I save you."
"Then who saved us?" I scratched my head and asked.
"I don't know about that." Chen Yina spread her hands and said.
"The mechanism above must have a special function, and it is a door to life, not a door to death!"
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because if Zhao Ji designed this mechanism to kill us, why would she bother with it? She actually hopes that future generations will be able to unlock this secret, so she doesn't have to kill us after we unlock the secret, so that no one can
Maybe the secret will get out."
"Maybe she just doesn't want the secret to be known."
"Then why did she write this self-incriminating edict?"
Chen Yina was silent.
