Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 745 The Perfect Deception (4000)

Xu Fu, whose name is Junfang, has lived in Qidi for generations.

It can no longer be written too clearly, this is the bamboo slips written by Xu Fu himself.

At this moment, many previous speculations have come to a conclusion. This must be the legendary Zuzhou. Xu Fu not only came to this place before, but also returned to this place after leaving the country of Japan. The best plant must also be the legendary "a Shenzhi that can live a thousand people".

These bamboo slips should have been completed after Xu Fu returned to this place and observed and studied here for a long time, instead of bringing them in from outside.

Because the ink marks on these bamboo slips are very clear, it is obvious that they have never been soaked in water, and if there is no other entrance or exit other than the ghost cave, it is impossible to enter without being soaked in water.

the most important is.

It is very likely that Xu Fu will stay in this place forever.

Because for a person who can devote himself to research and write research reports, he must attach great importance to the research reports he has poured his heart and soul into. There is absolutely no reason to throw his research reports in this place when he leaves.

However, it is hard to say whether this "Yang Shen Zhi Tong Yao" has been successfully completed. What Wu Liang picked up was only one volume of bamboo slips. Concluding words and sentences, I feel that there should be more content behind.

"..."

Looking at the other volumes of bamboo slips in the wooden box, Wu Liang considered that he might have to enter the water when he left later, so it might be difficult to take these bamboo slips out intact. I don't know how to deal with many questions, so I feel the need to read the content on the spot.

Fortunately, although the bamboo slips and slips seem to be quite a lot and have a lot of weight, they are actually very different from paper books. Let's put it this way, according to Wu Liang's experience, the seven volumes of slips and slips in front of him add up to no more than It can only hold one or two thousand characters, and reading it is not as time-consuming as imagined.

But don’t underestimate these two thousand characters, these are extremely simple classical Chinese, often a sentence translated into vernacular is a paragraph, and a single word can represent a whole vernacular sentence, so the content covered may not be small.

The only good thing is that although Wu Liang is not as proficient in ancient Chinese as Yu Ji, he still has some research on the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, and there are not many obstacles in reading it.

Think so.

Wu Liang has already taken out all the bamboo slips from the wooden box, and by the way, he also took out all the clothes under the box to check... These clothes are also made in Qin Dynasty, and they conform to the color and style worn by nobles.

"Wu Taishi, the clothes in this wooden box are obviously also brought back from Japan."

The witch said again at the right time, "When Xu Jun of Qin arrived in the Wa Kingdom, he also brought the dressing style of the Qin Dynasty with him. Since then, the nobles of the Wa Kingdom have also worn the clothes of the Qin Dynasty, but some changes have been made in some places. , Look at the buttons on the top, clothes made in Qin often use cloth buttons, but the Japanese state changed the slightly complicated cloth buttons to bone buttons made of fish bones."

"Well... that's true."

Wu Liang followed the witch's direction and saw that there were a few places where cloth knots should have been used, but there was a round joint tied to it, which seemed to be ground from a section of fishbone vertebrae. , so the spine is hollow, and it is easy to tie it through the rope.

"I just don't know that these bamboo slips were written by Qin Zhixu Jun himself?"

The maiden looked curiously at the bamboo slips held by Wu Liang and asked.

"The title of this book is "Yang Shen Zhi Tong Yao", and the inscription is 'Qi Di Jun Fang', so it is probably written by Xu Fu himself, but I still need to read the content to verify it."

Wu Liang did not hide anything from him, nodded and said, "This book is related to Yangshenzhi, and the content in it may solve all the mysteries in our minds about Yangshenzhi, and may also reveal the secrets of this island, so I think that if we continue to go deeper Before investigating, it is necessary to read the contents of the bamboo slips, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort, if you know the characters of the Qin Dynasty, you can also come and read it with me."

It's not that Wu Liang has completely disarmed the witches.

It's just that now is an extraordinary period, and the two are considered to be a community of destiny, so some things must cooperate with each other to improve efficiency and save time.

Even if there is any information that Wu Liang thinks should not be spread, especially the information that should not be introduced into the Wa Kingdom, after An Ran leaves here, the witch will still be in the hands of the Huan army, and it will not be too late to silence her at that time, not at this time To engage in such things that are prone to suspicion.

"Many of the documents left by Emperor Xu Jun of the Qin Dynasty in the shrine were written in Qin Dynasty characters, and the shrine maidens in the past dynasties also used Qin Dynasty characters for their records. Therefore, I have started to learn Qin Dynasty characters since I was very young."

The witch responded, but she didn't go forward immediately, but suddenly said with red ears, "Just before that, can I ask Wu Taishi to allow me to leave for a while..."

"Where are you going?"

Wu Liang wondered, is there anything more important than reading Xu Fu's autographed books to the witch Hu who came here to find Xu Fu's whereabouts?

"..."

The witch said, but hesitantly said, "I'm not going anywhere, it's just some private matters... I only need half a cup of tea at most, please allow it by Wu Taishi."

"?"

It was only then that Wu Liang noticed that Miko Hu was crossing her legs at the moment. Although she had tried her best to behave naturally, her willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled uncontrollably, as if she was undergoing an unspeakable torture.

Oh - it turned out to be going to the toilet!
Wu Liang suddenly realized, and then smiled and waved his hands and said, "Go, but we haven't finished investigating this place, so don't go far, let alone go to places we haven't been to, lest there be any trouble... Just turn the corner and avoid my sight, and if there is something to shout, I can rush to help as soon as possible."

"Well, thank you Wu Taishi for your concern, I'm going."

The witch responded with a sigh of relief, and then quickly walked to the corner Wu Liang knew that she had passed by with her legs crossed.

Wu Liang couldn't wait to spread out all the seven volumes of bamboo slips, found out the corresponding order and began to read the contents.

……

In "The Essentials of Raising the Spirit".

Xu Fu clearly called this island Zuzhou, just as Miko Hu mentioned before, this is a magical island that turns the world upside down.

The sea surface around the island is the deepest part of the ghost cave, and it is also the bottom of the sea in people's common sense. The moment a person enters the ghost cave and sinks into the bottom of the sea, he jumps out of the sea around Zuzhou, and everything is turned upside down.

As for the principle of this, Xu Fu can't explain clearly, he can only attribute it to the good fortune of heaven and earth.

While on this island, people will not feel any discomfort, they can walk freely just like outside, the only difference is that here there is only day and no night, only the sun and no moon, the sun is always on top of the head, and it will not come from the east. rises and does not set from the west.

The legend about this island can be traced back to when Qi Taigong Jiang Ziya first arrived in Qidi.

Legend has it that Jiang Ziya once climbed this fairy mountain named Zuzhou, and obtained the elixir to prolong life in the fairy mountain, so he lived to the advanced age of 130 years old.

This legend has been circulated among the nobles of the Qi royal family for a long time.

It's a pity that not only Jiang Ziya deliberately concealed the relevant information at the beginning, but the relevant information was lost. No one can tell where the island is, and what is the elixir that made Jiang Ziya live a long life.

In fact.

Back then, when the Jiang surnamed Lu was in charge of the Qi State, the royal family had ordered people to go to sea to carry out many operations to find the ancestral continent. At that time, the Qi State had discovered the Wa country far overseas, and even regarded it as the ancestral continent for a time. The largest snow-capped active volcano in the country of Japan was used as a hibiscus tree, but no elixir that can prolong life was found in the country of Japan.

Zuzhou has always been the legendary Zuzhou.

So until the Tian family replaced the Lu family in charge of Qi, the last Qi king of the Lu family, Qi Kanggong Lu Dai, was exiled by the Tian family on Yuzhou Mountain, an island that was not inhabited at the time, and deprived Lu Dai of his food.

Since then, Lu Dai has lived in hardship, and can only live on the island by fishing and catching the sea with his family.

And Xu Fu's ancestors also lived in seclusion in Qu County at the beginning. Because they were favored by the Lu family, they often secretly sent people to the sea to Yuzhou Mountain to bring some food and clothes to Lu Dai.

After going back and forth, the two sides became acquainted.

After several years like this, one day Xu Fu's ancestors went to Yuzhou Mountain again, but saw that Lu Dai was in a daze. It turned out that one of his stubborn sons was playful and accidentally entered the "ghost cave" exposed after the low tide. The rise flooded the entrance of the "ghost cave", and the child was probably in danger.

It was also at this time that the Xu family knew that there was such a "ghost cave" in the sea below Yuzhou Mountain, but they could only persuade Lu Dai to be sad and obedient, and helped Lu Dai build a simple clothes tomb for the child.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

One day when Xu Fu's ancestors went to Yuzhou Mountain again, they saw a young man added to Lu's family.

Xu Fu's ancestors curiously asked about the young man's identity, but Lu Dai prevaricated that he was just an old friend who came from afar. Xu Fu's ancestors were inconvenient to ask more questions, but they always felt that this young man was familiar. The tomb built for Lu Dai's missing child was filled up at some point.

The most important thing is that the young man has lived on Yuzhou Mountain since then, helping Lu Dai to fish and catch the sea. Once, Xu Fu's ancestors even overheard the young man referring to Lu Dai as his father.

It was also at this time that Xu Fu's ancestors suddenly woke up.

It's no wonder that this young man looks familiar all the time, especially with the resemblance between Lu Dai's eyebrows and eyes... Could this person be Lu Dai's son who entered the "ghost cave" more than ten years ago?
This matter surprised Xu Fu's ancestors, so they wrote it down.

A few years later, when Lu Dai died of illness, Xu Fu's ancestors went to mourn and assisted Lu Dai's few family members to be buried in Yuzhou Mountain.

Not long after, when Xu Fu's ancestors came to the island again, they found that Lu Dai's family members had disappeared, leaving only a few empty stone houses and Lu Dai's lonely grave.

Since then, the ancestors of the Xu family have never seen these family members again.

After that, someone from the Xu family once entered the Tian Qi court as an official. Although the official position was not prominent, they gradually entered the ranks of the nobles of Qi. Those who lived in seclusion in Qu County together were some descendants of the Tian Qi royal family, including Tian Heng who finally occupied Yuzhou Mountain.

Tian's dormant here naturally has the intention of making a comeback, so he is quite close to Xu, who is also a descendant of Qi, and actually has no lack of intentions to win over forces.

But none of this escaped Qin Shihuang's eyes and ears.

At that time, Xu Fu had reached the age of knowing the destiny. When the Qin army was mobilized around Qu County, he sensed the imminent crisis, and knew that the Xu family might be about to be wiped out.

So Xu Fu hurriedly asked for help from his mentor Gui Guzi who could speak a few words in front of Qin Shihuang at that time.

"Ying Zheng is currently suffering from a hidden disease, and he is worried that the great cause has been accomplished but time is running out, so he is recruiting sorcerers from all over the world to concoct strange medicines in order to achieve longevity. Now this is probably the only thing that can impress him."

Guiguzi said to Xu Fu in this way.

These words immediately reminded Xu Fu of the legend of Qi Taigong Jiang Ziya. This legend is not only known by Qi people, but many people in the world have heard of it. In addition, Jiang Ziya's longevity is quite credible.

So after discussing with Guiguzi.

Xu Fu decided to give it a go, no matter what the result was, it was better than waiting to be killed.

In view of the good relationship with the Tian Qi royal family at that time, Xu Fu also decided to give them a hand, so he informed them of this plan privately, intending to teach them to participate in it. After all, the Tian Qi royal family inherited all of Lu Qi's inheritance, and they provided it. Some news can also increase a certain degree of credibility.

In the end, I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from Tian Qi's royal family. The Tian family reciprocated, and took out a tortoise shell related to Jiang Taigong.

The tortoise shell actually recorded the details of the Zuzhou fairy grass.

The name "Yangshenzhi" comes from the records on the tortoise shell, "born in Qiongtian", "its leaves are like wild rice", "a person who has been dead for three days, covered with grass, is alive at that time" and other characteristics It is also derived from the records on the tortoise shell.

And Tian's also generously admitted.

Before the Qi State fell, the royal family of Tian Qi also sent people to the sea many times to search for Zuzhou and Yangshenzhi because of the content recorded on the tortoise shell. Unfortunately, they found nothing and had to give up in the end.

But now for the sake of the overall situation, Tian is willing to take out this tortoise shell and dedicate it to Qin Shihuang, to be the most powerful evidence for Xu Fu.

that's it.

A hoax combining current events, historical facts and legends was born.

Ninety percent of this scam is a fact that can be verified, and only one percent is a lie. It can be called the most perfect scam in the world, and Qin Shihuang couldn't help but believe it.
