Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 750 The Essence of Raising Shenzhi (4100)

Originally, those craftsmen were desperate, thinking that they would be trapped in this secret place for the rest of their lives and could not leave.

Seeing Tian Heng, Xu Fu and others coming in now, hope was ignited in my heart instantly, which indicated that the passage to and from this island was opened again.

So Boss Liang immediately summoned all the craftsmen and started to leave Zuzhou.

Between these 12 years.

The craftsmen have mined a lot of jade from the Jade Mountain, which is their greatest wealth. If they can bring it out, they can make a fortune and ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

However, this is what Tian Heng is most worried about.

If these craftsmen are taught to leave, it is impossible to guarantee that they will talk nonsense after they go out, then all the things he has done before will be in vain, and those clansmen and retainers will all die in vain, so he must not allow this kind of thing to happen.

So Tian Heng took advantage of the opportunity to show his favor to Boss Liang, saying that he came here to welcome these craftsmen, and had already set up a banquet on Yuzhou Mountain outside, and prepared the generous rewards promised to these craftsmen before.

Boss Liang and the craftsmen have been deceived and trapped here for 12 years, so naturally they are not willing to trust Tian Heng credulously at this moment.

Tian Heng used to be in a high position, so he naturally knew how to show kindness and power, and immediately changed his face and shouted coldly: "Everyone will not forget who Tian is, right? Now Qi State has become a great power, and its territory is three times larger than that of Qi State back then. More, it can be said that the army is strong and powerful, even the overlord of Western Chu has to retreat three times to avoid the sharp edge when he sees our Qi State's million-strong army. Once you go out here, you will be captured by the Qi State army guarding outside. None of you can leave without my permission!"

"..."

These words frightened Boss Liang and the craftsmen in an instant, and they all stood on the ground and looked at each other, already confused.

"It's still the same sentence, I came here this time to welcome you. If you are acquainted, what happened on this island will be wiped out. Not only can you take these jades away, but I promised you that you will be rewarded for nothing." Not less, if you are willing, you can also get an official position and continue to serve Qi, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Tian Heng's tone softened a bit, and he said, "But if you are stubborn, then you can't blame me, life or death depends entirely on your own will!"

Boss Liang and those craftsmen are people who have never seen much of the world. In addition, they have been isolated from the world for these years and know nothing about the outside situation. At this moment, there is no way to distinguish the truth of Tian Heng's words.

But they all still remember the momentum of Qi State 12 years ago.

Although it can't be regarded as the leader among many tyrants, the Qi State had already occupied all the land at that time, and the territory it controlled in a short period of time was indeed more than that of the original Qi State.

If it develops according to the momentum of 12 years ago, the state of Qi is indeed very likely to be unstoppable.

If so, even if they escaped from this island, they would still not be able to escape Tian's palm, as long as they wanted to live, they would have to surrender to Tian Heng.

at last.

Boss Liang and those craftsmen still did not withstand the pressure Tian Heng put on them. Not only did they not dare to embarrass Tian Heng, Xu Fu and the others, they even released the only four members of the Tian clan who had been imprisoned by them before.

Tian Heng immediately agreed to lead them to leave Zuzhou before talking about anything else.

then.

While those craftsmen were packing up their things separately, Tian Heng led the accompanying clansmen and family members to attack suddenly, and defeated these craftsmen one by one, and the attack was extremely ruthless, aiming at the vital points, in order to kill them with one blow.

After just a few minutes.

With Boss Liang's scream that stopped abruptly, more than [-] craftsmen were all killed. After all, their knowledge was a little less, and their guard against others was also a little weaker. They were destined to end up in such a pitiful end.

But Tian Heng already had further plans.

He never let go of the corpses of these craftsmen, but ordered people to carry these corpses one by one into those stone houses, and then went into the stone cave at the foot of Yushan to find the gods for nourishment, and covered the faces of these corpses Finally, they locked the doors of these stone houses.

He is planning to use the corpses of these craftsmen to mass-produce the black soil that can make people "longevity".

Since then.

Tian Hengcai finally told the rescued four clansmen the actual situation outside, and those clansmen and disciples who were poisoned by Tian Heng together turned into the dead souls slaughtered by Liu Bang's army. In short, the state of Qi is over. , they had to hide in Zuzhou and wait for the opportunity to move after the limelight passed.

As a witness to this matter, Xu Fu secretly wrote down these things.

However, these things were just accidents of this trip, and his main purpose was to return to Zuzhou to further study the characteristics of Yangshenzhi, and find out what kind of "fairy grass" it is.

But now that Tian Heng brought him back to Zuzhou, he had already achieved his goal. Next, Tian Heng, who knew nothing about Yangshenzhi, would definitely allow him to continue to study in depth, so it was not a problem for Xu Fu. What a difference.

that's it.

Including Tian Heng, Xu Fu and the few remaining members of the Tian clan and their family members, a total of 15 people lived in seclusion in Zuzhou, living in isolation for 17 years.

During this period, people here never went out.

Everyone eats the mysterious black soil, and they will be healthy without any disease or disaster. In addition to the black soil made by the craftsmen, they will often go to hunt macaques and other animals on the island to ensure the sustainable supply of black soil. .

And Xu Fu's in-depth research on Yangshenzhi has never stopped.

During this period, he observed the whole process of Yangshenzhi from germination to adult plant.

There is only one plant of Yangshenzhi. Its body is actually the roots that go deep into the jade. Even if someone pulls out its branches and leaves that grow outside the jade, or even pulls out its main rhizome, it will not be cut off. In about ten days, those tiny rhizomes left in the jade will reunite, and then a new plant of Nourishing Shenzhi will grow out of the jade, and the window period will never exceed ten days.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that nourishing Shenzhi is inexhaustible.

At the same time he also discovered.

Those parrots, snakes, and fish that ate black soil would not lose their fertility, but after they died, they would turn into a dark rock as recorded on the stone tablet left by Lu Kuo.

And this kind of rock is very similar to the rock on Yushan, and it keeps the same coldness as jade, so it should be the same thing.

Besides.

Xu Fu also mentioned in the book the reef group located in the north of the island.

He also found some of the same rocks as Yushan in that reef group. Although some of the rocks have been cracked, he can still see through the shape and fractured section that it should have been a large piece. The original appearance of these rocks was restored, and what appeared in my mind was a huge monster with a height of several feet.

This huge monster has a head, a tail, feet and a neck. It looks like a small mountain. Xu Fu thinks it must be some kind of giant beast, but it is a giant beast that he has never heard of, no matter it is "Shan Hai Jing" or Xu Fu has seen it before. There is no similar record in the History of Strange Objects.

Mottled jade seedlings have already appeared in the center of the rock that this giant turned into. Xu Fu believes that these rocks will eventually turn into the same cold jade as Jade Mountain...

at the same time.

Xu Fu also felt that his body was getting stiffer and stiffer. Now he is 110 years old. Although the black soil can still provide him with vitality, the effect is getting worse and worse. He feels that his limit is coming soon... …After all, black soil can only make people live longer, not the legendary longevity.

Xu Fu expressed his calmness in the face of death in the book, and then the text stopped abruptly here...

……

"This???"

After reading all the seven volumes of bamboo slips and slips, Wu Liang felt depressed as if he had been met with a disjointed dog.

In this diary-like book left by Xu Fu, Wu Liang learned many secrets that were never included in the history books, and therefore were not known to the archaeological world of later generations.

such as:

The reason why Qin Shihuang desperately searched for the elixir of life was because he was suffering from a hidden disease and would soon die;

Xu Fu's search for Zuzhou and Yangshenzhi for Qin Shihuang was a scam from the beginning, and even Guiguzi participated in this scam and became one of the important planners;

The legend of "Yangshenzhi" is not groundless. The relevant information comes from the secret secrets of the Qi royal family, and Jiang Ziya may have a direct relationship with "Yangshenzhi", but it was lost to his descendants for some reason;

Tian Heng was forced to rush to Luoyang, but committed suicide only [-] miles away from Luoyang. Knowing that Tian Heng was dead, he collectively committed suicide on Yuzhou Mountain, causing Yuzhou Mountain to be renamed "Tian Heng Mountain". They were not as recorded in the history books. Poison killing... This matter has nothing to do with loyalty or integrity, but a man-made conspiracy.

These secrets that are not known to future generations are naturally what Wu Liang has been pursuing hard, which can be said to be very fruitful for him.

But Xu Fu's research results, which apparently ended abruptly, also left Wu Liang with a lot of regret.

But there is no way around this, because according to the records in the book, Xu Fu is very likely to have gone west of Hexi when he wrote this, so apart from the content recorded in the book, Xu Fu may not know more .

As for Xu Fu's body, it may have been turned into gravel and become a part of Yushan...

As for the outcome of Tian Heng and his family members, there is no record in "Yangshenzhi Tongyao".

Wu Liang only saw a pile of black soil turned into a man wearing clothes suitable for aristocrats in a slightly larger stone room, and the style of clothes should also be in line with the Qin Dynasty or the end of Qin Dynasty.

But that corpse should not be Tian Heng or the people around Tian Heng.

Because it is emphasized in "Yu Shen Zhi Tong Yao" that people who eat black soil will eventually turn into rocks, but Tian Heng and the people around him have eaten black soil, and they will not turn into black soil.

Besides.

Wu Liang also noticed an important detail that Xu Fu mentioned in the book. He found rocks in the reefs over there that were suspected to be some kind of mysterious giant beasts, and jade seedlings had already grown out of the rocks.

This is a very important breakthrough.

The monster that Xu Fu didn't know, Wu Liang didn't necessarily know.

After all, the fossils of life discovered in the archaeological world of later generations can be traced back to billions of years ago, but in Xu Fu's time, there was no such thing as archeology at all, and people did not have a clear understanding of fossils.

Therefore, Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to check it out in person.

So Wu Liang rolled up the last scroll and put it back into the wooden box. Wu Liang decided to leave immediately, but until now the witch Hu Ye has not returned.

"Call girl?"

Wu Liang was puzzled again, and shouted again.

"I'm coming!"

This time, Miko Hu's response came from behind the rock not far away, and then Miko Hu walked out from behind the rock, smiled apologetically and walked quickly towards Wu Liang.

"Miss Hu, don't your legs feel numb after squatting for so long?"

Wu Liang asked jokingly.

"Wu Taishi was joking."

Witch Hu smiled apologetically again, and asked curiously, "Wu Taishi has read these bamboo slips, is there anything important written on them?"

"It is mainly a piece of historical material related to Yangshenzhi, all of which Xu Fu saw with his own eyes. Some of the process and characteristics of Yangshenzhi were also interspersed, but in the end there are still some inconclusive doubts."

Wu Liang pointed to the bamboo slips in the wooden box, and said, "Do you want to read it? But we don't have much time. Next, I will quickly check this cave, and then I will go to the reefs in the north to verify some things." , if you want to see it, you can only take it on the road."

"..."

The witch glanced at the slips, seemed a little hesitant, and then said after a moment of hesitation, "If it's not troublesome, can I ask Wu Taishi to relay the important content of it to me on the way, so that there is no need to waste time and energy."

"?"

Wu Liang looked at the witch when he heard the words, and frowned slightly.

Seeing this, the witch thought that this "excessive" request had caused Wu Liang's dissatisfaction, and quickly bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'd better take it with you and see for yourself, how dare you trouble Wu Taishi."

"It's nothing to do with it, I just listen to you on the way."

Wu Liang said with a quite easy-going smile.

In fact, the maiden did not understand why Wu Liang suddenly frowned. He just noticed something wrong: as a shrine maiden, Xu Fu was the undisputed belief and idol of the maiden and the Japanese. She has fully demonstrated her respect and admiration for Xu Fu all the time, but now, Xu Fu's handwritten bamboo slips are in front of her, shouldn't the witch call every word in it as a sacred object?

But now, she was actually reluctant to touch those bamboo slips, and instead taught Wu Liang an outsider to relay, and only relayed the important content?
This is unreasonable, very unreasonable!

"Then there will be Lao Wu Taishi."

The witch thanked her.

"Hurry up."

Wu Liang nodded, then turned around and began to quickly explore other places in the underground palace.

At the same time, he kept an extra thought in his heart, and later on the way, he must check the place where Miko Hu was just convenient, to see if she was really convenient, or if she took the opportunity to take some errands!
