"What you said is too mysterious." Everyone couldn't believe it.
"Of course, I'm just guessing." I organized my thoughts and continued, "Why didn't I raise this question before? The main reason is that I didn't think about it deeply and thought it was just a simple matter.
In the battle for the treasure, I never thought that it would involve such a huge historical drama. But looking back now, there are many incredible things about the origin. A substitute became the most famous emperor in Chinese history. This fake
How did the emperor become emperor? After all, Zhao Ji and Lao Ai's original intention was not to invite him to become emperor, and it is obvious that the two behind-the-scenes masterminds failed in the end."
"Yes, judging from the real historical facts, this fake emperor obviously broke free from the control of Zhao Ji and Lao Ai in the end. Lao Ai was cut in half and died, and Zhao Ji was cast aside by history. This was all his own handiwork. So, like this
It seems that this fake emperor later became the real emperor. He eliminated everyone who knew the truth and completely cleared himself." Zhao Zhen continued what I said.
"This is just one aspect. If the false emperor has whitewashed himself, it can also be said to be the expansion of his ambition. After all, in the face of absolute power, anyone may have such an idea, and he may definitely fight for it."
I looked at the male corpse on the stone platform and said, "But if we think about the whole thing in series, what does the fake emperor long for most after sitting on the throne of the emperor and getting rid of the insiders?"
Chen Yina said without thinking: "Of course I will occupy the emperor's throne forever."
"Yes, that's great!" I laughed, "Have you ever thought about why Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to find the elixir of life? We can understand the desire for the elixir of life as the greed of Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages.
This portrayal can also be understood as the false emperor 'Qin Shihuang' has been coveting the elixir of immortality owned by Zhao Ji for a long time. In this way, what will he do if he searches for the immortal mountain to no avail? "
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest."
"That's right, as an eyewitness and important player in the drama of 'civet cat for prince' directed by Zhao Ji and Lao Ai, he naturally thought that Zhao Ji would definitely prepare an unprecedentedly luxurious tomb for the real Ying Zheng, and he suffered so much
The most likely place to hide the elixir of immortality that we have been pursuing so hard is Ying Zheng’s tomb.”
"Yeah, that makes sense." Everyone nodded in agreement.
The size and scale of this stone chamber are very ordinary, without any polishing or relief. My judgment is that this may be the original structure of the lower tomb chamber. The main reason why it is preserved is because it does not want to alarm the terrifying monsters guarding the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and there is no practical significance in worrying about it now. However, if it is as I speculated, this fake Qin Shihuang dug Ying Zheng out of the coffin and threw it here, and Li Daitaojiang came.
, then this fake emperor should have been very kind to Ying Zheng. At least he did not destroy the corpse and left a whole corpse for him to repay the "favor of knowing him".
"What are you doing?" I obviously found that my first reaction with the flashlight was to look for a passage to continue moving forward, while Yelu Qinghui's flashlight was looking at what was inside.
"Professional habits." Yelu Qinghui smiled and said, "There are wooden shelves all around, and there are so many books on them. Could it be that Qin Shi Huang likes to read?"
"This should be a book hidden by the original owner of the tomb. If I am not wrong, he should be an accomplished man. He cast the Nine Dragon Cauldron and raised monsters to protect the cauldron."
"You have to be an expert. I think he is probably an anti-social pervert." Yelu Qinghui said.
The surrounding bookshelves were very messy. It felt as if someone had moved the cabinets, and the books on them were placed sideways and randomly.
We came to the edge of the bookshelf and saw a lot of strange tools that were completely rusted next to the bookshelf, but at a glance we knew they were modern tools.
"Someone has been here before, probably a long time ago."
Zhao Zhen kicked the tools a few times. When I looked at the tools, I realized that they were small accessories used to make brackets, hoisting, sliding, and upper shoulders. It can be basically concluded that they are used for transportation.
"Entering the ancient tomb without asking for treasure, with a clear purpose, and going straight here, it is obvious that these people are not tomb robbers." I judged.
Yelu Qinghui picked up a small part from the ground, blew it and said, "Do they want to transport this Nine Dragon Cauldron out?"
"Maybe, at least it can't be for Ying Zheng." Ying Zheng's body was not touched and was left there almost intact.
"Why?" Chen Yina asked, "Does anyone want to live forever?"
"Don't tell me, don't guess what Hill is thinking. If you do, it will be hard." Yelu Qinghui joked.
"Lin Kun, why do I feel something is wrong? Apart from the Wu family, there is no way anyone in the world knows the secret of the elixir of life. However, when you say this, I feel even more confused." Wu Honghong looked panicked.
said.
"That's because of you
Our ancestors themselves don’t know that the things you protect have long been taken into consideration.” I shook my head, “The fake emperor knew a lot about Zhao Ji. He was the core figure from the beginning because he was a stand-in for Zhao Ji.
He Lao Ai tried his best to hide it from everyone in the world, but instead eliminated the hidden dangers for him. He openly seized power and no one can shake him anymore."
"You mean, these people know what happened back then?" Wu Honghong asked with her eyes wide open.
I shook my head and said: "Things are not that simple. If it were just as simple as leaking the news, this matter would not develop into the situation it is today."
"Hey." I sighed, "Don't worry about it, let's keep moving forward. You will definitely know what God wants you to know."
"Wait!" I said, "There is a coffin."
I saw a coffin placed behind all the bookshelves. It was a stone coffin with gold and stone inscriptions all over it. You could tell at a glance that the person lying inside was extraordinary.
"Is there any key secret hidden in this coffin?"
"Maybe he is the owner of the tomb." I said.
"Are you talking about the old Taoist priest?" Yelu Qinghui said, "Although I don't know if he is a Taoist, I guess he is."
Yelu Qinghui's speculation is also very reasonable. To be precise, he should be called an alchemist. During the Warring States Period, there were many such alchemists who sought immortality and Taoism, and Xu Fu was one of them.
"No matter what, let's take a look first. Maybe there is a way to restrain that monster."
It is troublesome to pry the coffin without tools. We took out the iron thorns and found that the top of the coffin was so tight that even the cracks could not be found. In the end, Yelu Qinghui looked down and said:
"Put it on the wrong side! Put it on the wrong side! The coffin is placed on the wrong side. They are really disrespectful!"
I lowered my head and looked, and sure enough, the coffin had been turned upside down. Because it was a square coffin, it didn't look strange no matter how it was placed.
However, even with Wu Honghong and Chen Yina, the physical strength of the five of us is simply impossible to turn the coffin over, and from the current angle, it is impossible to pry open the coffin lid.
Yelu Qinghui said angrily: "No matter what, let's drill the hole from the back of the butt, and then drill through the bottom of the coffin!"
We used iron thorns as hammers and hammered them bit by bit. Yelu Qinghui became fierce and resorted to the methods of the second master, and soon he smashed a crack in the bottom of the coffin. Once the crack is there, it will be easier to deal with. We put the iron
After inserting the thorn for a while, we made a crack in the bottom of the coffin that was as long as an arm and as wide as a Coke bottle.
Yelu Qinghui inserted the iron thorn into the crack and stirred it. Soon he caught something and pulled it out. Only halfway, he screamed.
What he pulled out turned out to be the hand of a wet corpse.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at your fingers."
I saw that all the fingers of this hand were wearing rings. The fingers glowed with a very strange light, which did not look like gems or gold metal. And the shape of the rings was very strange - just take a look
, I knew that it could never be the style of the Central Plains. It was probably something from the Western Regions, or even something from Nepal at that time.
The wet corpse's fingernails were very long, but they didn't seem to be dangerous. Yelu Qinghui took off the rings one by one and put them directly into his pocket. He took off the last ring before handing it to me:
"Come, Lin Kun, take a look and estimate whatever you want."
I took a look. It was a jade ring. Its value is inestimable.
"You're rich." I said to him, "Okay, just hold on tight."
"You don't need to say anything." Yelu Qinghui said, and he directly took the hand of the wet corpse and pulled the whole body out of the coffin bit by bit. When the head of the corpse was pulled out from the gap, I
I couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"The corpse's hair is so long?" I asked. The corpse's hair was so long that it covered many parts of the corpse.
Yelu Qinghui took a deep breath and pretended to be calm: "The hair of the ancients was very long. The so-called long hair was fluttering and disheveled. Have you not seen many ancient dramas where the prisoners have disheveled hair? All of them can be featured in Sassoon ads.
Already."
I shook my head and said softly: "But it's not that long. This hair is so long that I can hang myself without bothering others, and it's probably enough for skipping rope."
"It's not surprising that many people's hair will grow for a long time after death."
I thought to myself, how is it possible? With the length of this hair, it must have been growing for hundreds of years. It has already grown into kelp.
But I didn’t want to think about it anymore, so I said, “Yes, don’t worry about it. Hurry up!”
Yelu Qinghui first touched the corpse with an iron thorn and found that there was no sign of corpse transformation. He searched the whole body and found that there was nothing else. He threw it aside. After the corpse fell to the ground, it seemed to be oxidized and fell into pieces.
A few pieces. It had shrunk a lot before, but now it became in pieces.
I thought it was too disrespectful and apologized immediately. Yelu Qinghui ignored it completely and said
: "A corpse that cannot transform into a corpse is not a good corpse. There is no need to be taboo about such unmotivated people." He said, holding up the flashlight and continuing to look inside the coffin.
But at this time, I realized something was wrong and said, "Damn! Why is the liquid in this corpse green?"
The broken body was lying on the stone slab, and the clothes all over the body had rotted into balls of rot. It was impossible to see the way it was originally worn. There was liquid flowing out of it, and it was so green that it was scary. The hair covered almost all parts.
All that could be seen was the open mouth on the face. There was quite a lot of liquid in the broken corpse, which kept spreading on the stone slab.
Among the five of them, this was the first time for me to see such a situation, not to mention that the others were all covered in cold sweat.
"It doesn't make sense! The corpse is a wet corpse. All the body fluids should be mixed with the liquid in the coffin. Where did this green liquid come from?"
"In the bones." Zhao Zhen said suddenly, "There is green liquid in the bones, maybe it's in the bones."
I pressed the chest of the corpse with an iron thorn and tried to lift the hair on the corpse. Only a pair of thick copper nails appeared in front of our eyes.
"Sure enough," I said, "this copper nail is driven into the head of the corpse. It should be used to suppress the corpse. If I guessed correctly, this person died of a very serious corpse poison, and it was
If you are buried alive, there will be signs of corpse transformation only after death. This green body fluid should be produced by corpse poison entering the bones. Because you were buried alive, there was still cartilage at the time, so these body fluids were sealed in the bone marrow."
"When you said that, I remembered that my father seemed to have seen a copper nail before." Yelu Qinghui said, "I only saw it once. It was used to prevent corpse transformation. You see."
"Is there still danger now?" Zhao Zhen asked
"No. It shouldn't be. It's all like this. Even if it's a zombie, it's a disabled zombie. We don't need to be afraid. It's just that I'm afraid these things are poisonous. If too much is inhaled into the nasal cavity, it will cause trouble."
"Then who could this person be?"
"Owner of the tomb?"
"Nine times out of ten, yes, maybe this guy got carried away by refining elixirs, and ended up dying. At that time, many alchemists were obsessed with refining elixirs, and this trend continued in the Wei and Jin Dynasties."
"However, it is impossible to tell whether it is the owner of the tomb. No one knows what the situation was at that time."
"Lin Kun!" Yelu Qinghui called me from behind.
I turned around and said, "What are you doing?"
"You are wrong." Yelu Qinghui said, "This thing is still dangerous."
I turned around and immediately saw that the corpse on the ground had sprouted inch-long black hair. At first glance, it looked like a big hedgehog.
At this time, the forbidden ring in my hand suddenly flashed with red flames, "Oh no, this thing is a ruthless character, get out of here quickly!"
At this moment, there was a "bang", and a secret door opened in the middle of the wall, but none of us had opened the trap. At this time, we didn't care about this and immediately rushed out of the door.
After we escaped, the door closed again.
Just before we figured out the situation, a strange voice rang and said, "I saved you."
As soon as the words fell, we saw a man wearing a mysterious robe from the Qin Dynasty walking towards us.
After walking up to us, the man repeated, "I saved you."
I looked at the person in front of me and immediately raised my vigilance, asking, "Who are you?"
The man chuckled and said, "I don't know what my name is. I might have had a name at first, but then I stopped using my name. I can only say that my name is Yirenfake."
"False?" I asked sitting on the ground.
The man looked at me, smiled, and said, "My name is Ying Zheng."
Everyone stared at the mysterious man in front of them with wide eyes, unable to believe their ears.
I stood up and asked: "Are you the fake emperor who was arranged by Lao Ai and Zhao Ji to make Li Daitao stiff?"
The foreigner gave me a fake look and said: "It seems that you already know the truth." After saying that, he nodded and said: "Yes, I am the fake 'Qin Shihuang'. I say it is fake, but in fact it is."
Really, because I was the one who unified the six kingdoms, I was the one who established the Qin Dynasty, I was the one who burned books and humiliated Confucians, and I was the one who created eternal achievements, and I have nothing to do with that Ying Zheng."
"Then why are you here?"
"Don't you already know?" Yiren snorted coldly and said, "Because of my timidity, I was afraid of losing everything I had, so I dreamed of getting the elixir of life. When I learned that Zhao Ji had hidden the elixir of life in
After entering Yingzheng’s tomb, I gave up the Lishan Imperial Tomb, which cost countless financial and material resources to build, and lived in it myself.”
"What a cowardly alien." I couldn't help but sigh, "But, I'm afraid that's not the case."
