Standing in front of the grand door of the tomb of the Nanyue Kingdom, a figure was speaking quietly, as if it were a ghost that had been buried deep in the underground tomb for thousands of years, questioning the uninvited guests who dared to invade.

"Who did it?"

The space inside this tomb is huge, and the surrounding stone walls are rough in shape. Many of the tomb chamber doors have not yet been opened. A huge snake-patterned copper tripod is placed in a faintly visible corner. A large number of layers of bones that are hard, brittle and yellow over time are all layered on top of each other. They were all used to build the tomb.

The remains of slaves who were later buried.

Entering the gloomy and cold underground palace from the secret door on the stone well wall, raising the fire and looking around, the viewer is immediately immersed in the wonder brought by the scene in front of him, and what is in his heart is both the hair-raising fear and the dazzling impact——

I saw the painted tomb murals as if they were painted yesterday. Countless bronze objects and ancient jade ornaments glowed brightly under the torch. Especially the well-preserved bronze bells were shocking. The stone door of the tomb was half-closed, as if

With just a soft call, the musicians and dancers, whose bones have long since decayed, will file out from the side door and once again perform the grand occasion that was unique to Zhao Tuocheng back then.

Li Xinghe's silk robe was soaked by the rain, and he was hiding in the corner. He had no intention of answering questions. He knew that his previous plan to capture him would not work, and now that the two of them had finally broken through their hypocrisy, they would face severe torture.

"It's really not my fault..."

Li Xinghe shook his body and tried to regain his body temperature. His eyes rolled around and he tried to recall certain details, "I just dug a well at the old site of Sanyuan Palace and accidentally penetrated the top of the tomb in the corridor. That's when I discovered this large tomb of a prince. Prince Pingnan's Mansion

Worried about changes, I temporarily closed the door early and did not do more exploration..."

"Dig a well in a barren mountain?"

The voice pointed out his fallacy sharply, but the clothes soaked in rain were quickly evaporating, and wisps of white steam were dancing and quickly dissipated in the stale air of the tomb.

Jiang Wen hid in the darkness to cover up his expression. He didn't want to say too much this time.

He realized that Li Xinghe was still deliberately defrauding him. The man in front of him was extremely good at making up stories. He also knew how to disguise the news that the other party wanted to hear in the sky, and waited for opportunities to obtain the other party's information. Li Xinghe said a hundred words, but that was just

He wants you to know a hundred sentences, but the few words the other party says may be the news he urgently needs to know.

This skill of attaching subordinates and talking to superiors is widely spread among the charlatans. On weekdays, you can always earn a few extra taels of silver by talking about noble people's itches, but there are not many people who have reached the pinnacle like this. It is precisely because of this,

Li Xinghe has the miraculous effect of being introduced as a confidant in just a few words. No matter who he stands in front of, he can feel like a fish in water.

Linyuanxianyu, you never know who is the fish.

"The thing is like this. Your Majesty has been ill recently and suffered from a relapse from an early illness, so he sent people to look for the ancient Qiulong well where elixirs were made and medicine left by Governor Bao of the Jin Dynasty."

"Originally, I found Baogu Well and the Taoist practice stele in the west corner of Sanyuan Palace, which are rumored to be able to cure all diseases. However, the prince discovered that this place was only a new site rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, not the original site. So he sent me

I continued my search and this is how I encountered..."

In a few words, Li Xinghe revealed a lot of important information and laid out a clear story.

Bao Liang, the prefect of Nanhai in the Jin Dynasty, also named Taixuan, met the real person Yin Changsheng in Jiangshan in the first year of Daxing of Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (318), and taught him the art of corpse dissection. He later went to Guangzhou to serve as the prefect of Nanhai County. He was the first to introduce the Danding sect of Taoism.

A native of Lingnan. He taught alchemy at Xiuyue Gangyuan and became a great master. His only daughter Qianguang, known as Baogu in the world, was also a great medical master.

It is gratifying that he relied on the ancients to ask for medical advice, and it was not all because he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. Because Bao Liang, the governor of Nanhai, was not only famous in his own right, but also because the Taoist immortal Ge Hong, whose Taoist name was Baopuzi, was both his disciple and his disciple.

son in law!

After the 24-year-old Ge Hong became a disciple of Bao Liang, on the one hand he inherited the Taoist teachings of Master Ge Xuan, which had been passed down from generation to generation in the Ge family, and on the other hand, he also had the Taoist tradition of Bao Liang, the eunuch of Nanhai, who promoted both medical science and Taoism.

Reached unprecedented new heights.

Ge Hong proposed that immortals can be learned from, and divided immortals into three levels, namely, heavenly immortals, earthly immortals, and corpse-repairing immortals. Ge Hong said: "According to the Immortal Sutra, when a superior person raises his body and ascends to the void, he is called a heavenly immortal;

When scholars travel to famous mountains, they are called local immortals; when corporal soldiers die and shed their bodies first, they are called corpse-disintegrating immortals." It is also called Li Shaojun, Fei Changfang, Li Yiqi and other immortals "all corpse-dissolving immortals."

Thinking about it carefully, the exact information Li Xinghe said was consistent with the details of Shang Kexi's "physical illness" that he mentioned, and Jiang Wen was unable to detect any flaws in it.

At the same time, the process of excavation of ancient tombs is also very research-resistant and can be matched one-to-one with many archaeological clues from later generations.

The predecessor of Sanyuan Palace is commonly known as the North Temple because it is located in the north of the city. According to legend, it is also the Zhaowang Temple, a temple built to worship Zhao Tuo, King of Nanyue. The former site of the North Temple is in Xianggang and was first built in the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Around 137 BC, the North Temple was gradually abandoned after the fall of the Nanyue Kingdom.

It was not until the Eastern Jin Dynasty that Bao Liang, the prefect of Nanhai, believed in Taoism, and he built Yue Gang Yuan on the site of the original North Temple to teach Taoism. At that time, Ge Hong studied Taoism under his disciples and married his daughter Bao Gu.

The Sanyuan Palace and the ancient tombs of the Nanyue Kingdom are located in Xianggang. These clues coincide with the rumors, which are enough to show that it is true that Shang Kexi seeks a well to cure his illness, and that he is obsessed with seeking immortality. It seems that he has relied on various conveniences in Panyu City.

I am determined to find the secret recipe for longevity!

Jiang Wen smiled slightly and inadvertently showed the bronze sword hilt at his waist.

"Zhenren Li, you might as well speak more clearly."

"Jiang Daxia will tell you the truth. I suspect that Lord Shang has known about the existence of this place for a long time. He sent me to search for the old site of Sanyuan Palace that day. It was just a knowing act..."

Li Xinghe seemed to be following Jiang Wen's wishes again. Although the other party was silent and his figure and expression were hidden in the shadows, the charlatan in front of him could speak out the topic that Jiang Wen was most interested in.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How to say?"

Jiang Wen slowly walked out of the darkness, the ghostly energy on his body disappeared, and stood alone in front of the crushed and broken stone door, looking up at the magnificent colorful murals on the wall.

He knew that his thoughts had been read out again, but Jiang Wen didn't care because he still had a lot of information that he hadn't said. As long as he didn't speak, the other party could only continue to analyze him based on guesswork. As long as he didn't fall into the trap and showed

If you show obvious emotions, the other party will never be able to get the feedback you want.

"On the day when the Nanyue King's tomb was opened, several dragon roars came from the bottom of the tomb, and it seemed like black water was gushing out. The large wood carvings dug out of the well were flattened and straightened, and it was impossible to do it by human power. There was still a smell on the wood grain.

The saliva is wrapped around it, which is extremely terrifying."

Li Xinghe said conclusively: "Therefore, Prince Shang only took away the Yangsui bronze mirror and Fangzhu jade cups from the tomb that day, and then ordered the place to be sealed off. Anyone who dared to enter would be killed without mercy. But I saw the objects in the tomb.

The style is so different from the Central Plains, I couldn’t help but study it for a while..."

Jiang Wen touched the jade with the snake pattern on his waist, looked at him and said, "Research? I'm afraid you should take it away for a closer look, right?"

Li Xinghe was embarrassed and quickly continued the topic.

"Master Jiang, actually I discovered that there were two objects in Prince Shang's room. The shape of the objects is very similar to the South Vietnamese style in this tomb, so I made this guess."

"What?" Jiang Wen asked.

Li Xinghe hurriedly said: "One is the gilt silver medicine box with convex petals of the old prince Shang. This thing is carried by the old prince day and night and never leaves his side for a moment. The other thing is the ship-patterned feathered copper bucket in the old prince's room.

There are flags and feathers engraved on it that indicate a man going out to sea in a boat. He usually only uses it to hold water for washing hands, but no servants have ever dared to touch it."

"I heard the old prince Shang talk about it. It was these things that rejuvenated him and allowed him to guard Guangzhou for ten years. Now that I think about it, it is likely that they came from this ancient tomb. But now there are faint traces of corpse stains on the old prince's body.

I can’t wait to find a lucky hole for burial, I suspect it’s a way of pretending to be dead to avoid disaster..."

Jiang Wen didn't say anything, but just wrote the matter down - it seemed that Shang Kexi wanted to study not only Bao Liang's Taoism, but also Zhao Tuo's life-prolonging technique.

According to records, Zhao Tuo, the Qin general who unified Lingnan, was originally from Changshan Zhending, and he was probably the ancestor of Zhao Zilong in Changshan. Zhao Tuo took advantage of the wars caused by the peasant uprising in the Central Plains at the end of the Qin Dynasty to take over the Nanhai Commandery after the death of Ren Xiao.

As the leader of the Han Dynasty, he divided his troops to cut off the direct route from Qin to Lingnan and cut off contact with the Central Plains. Later, in the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he conquered the three Lingnan counties and established the Nanyue Kingdom with its capital at Panyu. The Nanyue Kingdom lasted for five generations, ninety-three years, and ended in the sixth year of Yuanding Dynasty.

Nian was destroyed by Emperor Wu.

The records of Zhao Tuo’s lifespan in historical books are vague, and the most accurate basis for judgment was first found in the "Anthology of Historical Records": "The king of Yue, Zhao Tuo, died in the fourth year of Jianyuan, when the Han Dynasty was seventy years old, and Tuo was a hundred years old.

That’s it.”

According to historical records, Zhao Tuo served as the deputy general of the Qin army in the expedition to Lingnan in 219 BC. He died in the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was 136 BC, so a total of 83 years. The age of a deputy general is about 20 years old.

Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that Zhao Tuo lived to be 103 years old!

Some people have also wondered whether the issue of Zhao Tuo's reign was due to misinformation about Lingnan across the mountains and seas, or whether the records of the second-generation monarch's accession to the throne were concealed, resulting in deviations in historical information.

Scholars such as Lu Simian have even questioned the statement about Zhao Tuo's hundred years old in "Annotations of Historical Records". One of the most important arguments lies in the history books from the time when the Han Dynasty envoy Lu Jia entered Vietnam for the second time to Zhao Quan's succession.

There was a gap of forty years. Therefore, some scholars believe that the people in power in the South Vietnam Kingdom may have been worried about the unstable political situation at the beginning of Zhao Quan's succession. In order to prevent the Han Dynasty from wanting to annex, they concealed the news of Zhao Tuo's death.

But what is interesting is that through modern scientific and technological analysis, the remains of the second generation emperor of South Vietnam have been identified and determined that the age of death was about 35-45 years old, which is consistent with the lifespan of Zhao Quan in history books, and is not an 80-year-old man.

At the same time, there is no record in the history books that "Tuo's son also became king". From this, it can be inferred that Zhao Quan, the second generation king of South Vietnam in the legend, can only be related to Zhao Tuo in terms of age, and is not even considered to be a descendant.

The eldest grandson, Zhao Tuo probably had to endure the death of nine of his sons before finally passing the throne to his grandson!

So here’s the question. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the presence of a centenarian in the local area was considered auspicious in human form. However, until the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan was still full of thorns, vast forests, infested by ferocious beasts, poisonous miasma, typhoons, and thunderstorms.

Natural disasters such as alkaline tides, droughts, insect plagues, and plagues occur from time to time, so it has long been regarded as a remote and wild land, a land of miasma, and a foreign land.

So how did Zhao Tuo, a man from the north who rose up in troubled times, live to be a hundred years old in Lingnan, where malaria was everywhere at the end of the Qin Dynasty? Shang Kexi should also know that immortality is too elusive, and how can it be compared with a real life extension, then

Could there be secrets hidden in Zhao Tuo’s tomb?

The Feng Shui treasure land is indispensable. Shang Kexi is searching for the traces left by Bao Liang and Ge Hong in Sanyuan Palace while preserving the antiquities of the South Vietnam Kingdom. Could it be that he really plans to become the "corpse" mentioned by Ge Hong before the end of his life?

"Jie Xian"?

"Interesting, very interesting."

Jiang Wen spoke, and Li Xinghe was stunned. Everything happened in seconds. This time, both of them were exposed to the weak firelight, and their expressions of understanding and confusion were opposite to each other.

Of course, Jiang Wen could understand this ability of the subordinate Tan Shang, and he also had the knowledge support from the future in his mind. He immediately analyzed a lot of things - for example, Shang Kexi might really have some kind of reason.

The reason is that the ancient tomb has not been excavated in depth.

Because as long as they open the coffin of the tomb owner, they will find a golden dragon seal "Emperor Wen's Seal" on the chest of the owner of the tomb in silk jade clothing, which is still shining after a thousand years. This is the seal of Emperor Wen of South Vietnam.

It is evidence that the tomb owner used the imperial seal and was also a symbol of the identity of the second-generation monarch of the Nanyue Kingdom.

If they had excavated, they would have discovered that the ancient tomb at their feet was not the tomb of Zhao Tuo, King of South Vietnam!

The elephant post at your feet is located at the western foot of Yuexiu Mountain. Now it is just a small hillside that is not tall, shaped like a lying elephant. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was connected with Yuexiu Mountain as a whole, with towering trees and gurgling streams. It can be said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful.

It is a geomantic treasure, so the second ruler of Nanyue Kingdom built the tomb here.

Feng shui treasure land may be truly blessed with profound blessings.
