My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466

"Xie Lao, did you find something?"

On the way back to Luoyang City, the elders of the Dou family came over, and when they agreed, their eyes flickered a little.

Mrs. Xie's expression changed.

The Dou family, as a family of first-class relatives throughout the entire Han Dynasty, said that they don't know anything, it is impossible.

Seeing this, the members of the Dou family said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xie also knows the secrets in the cave if he wants to come, why don't you and I find a place to chat?"

Old Mrs. Xie frowned slightly, but said nothing.

And the Dou family continued: "The old man just took a closer look. Those heads were all young children. According to legend, the first emperor collected three thousand virgins from all over the world to try to use the elixir of life..."

"Cough cough, Dou's second son, I am too lazy to listen to your nonsense. Immortality is just a dream and a whimsical fantasy."

The old lady Xie interrupted openly, and said in a deep tone: "Don't blame the old man for not reminding you, there are some things, it's rare to be confused, don't fight with the sky... Go back to the city."

The old lady Xie shouted at the groom.

The horsewhip waved, and the steed walked forward in pain, leaving Dou and his party looking at each other in blank dismay.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked softly, "Second Uncle, this old guy obviously knows something."

The old man of the Dou clan frowned like a Sichuan character, looked at the frame going away, and said: "This old guy knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what to gain and what to lose. If it was normal, I would let it go, but it's related..."

He glanced at the middle-aged man vigilantly, but he did not reveal the secret of the elixir of longevity. Obviously, this secret is only known to some old guys from big families, and the younger generation basically does not understand it...

"Second uncle?"

"Forget it, it's nothing, let's go back too."

···
In this cave.

Wei Cheng frowned, looking at the heads and corpses all over the floor.

Bai Chuyi's eyes moved slightly, holding a lantern that had been prepared a long time ago in his hand, and said: "It's been nearly 500 years, these bones will shatter when touched, let's try to be careful, after collecting the Kyushu tripod, we will bury them again." yes."

Wei Cheng gave an 'hmm' and looked at the lantern in Bai Chuyi's hand.

Bai Chuyi explained: "This is used to save lives. If the fire is not extinguished, people will be fine."

Wei Cheng replied clearly: "The fact that the fire is extinguished proves that there is no oxygen in it, I understand."

Bai Chu was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "What is oxygen?"

Wei Cheng: "..."

Looking around, there are bones all over the floor, it's eerie, it's not easy to popularize science in this kind of place.

Fortunately, Bai Chuyi was just curious and walked ahead with a lantern in hand. The two soon came to a gate.

Wei Cheng recognized it. This stone gate is the same as the one in Qingzhou, but the relief on it has become Beiman Mountain.

Bai Chu glanced at Wei Cheng, then walked to the bottom right of the gate, and took out a bronze vessel that looked like a key from his pocket.

"My Bai family has guarded the secret treasure for generations. This is the key to open the secret treasure. It is the only one in the world."

click!

Boom!

As the key was turned, the door actually opened slowly.

Wei Cheng took out a flashlight from his arms, and the strong light instantly lit up the entire cave, and the scene inside was clear at a glance.

After Bai Chuyi made sure that the candles in the lantern were not extinguished, he nodded with Wei Cheng, indicating that they could enter.

For the sake of safety, Wei Cheng not only put on a gas mask himself, but also asked Bai Chuyi to wear one.

After confirming the protection, Wei Cheng went in first with a flashlight.

Like the Qingzhou Ding, there is also a big tripod hanging in mid-air. The top of the main hall is dotted with many night pearls. These night pearls form various star maps, as if it is some kind of mysterious ceremony.

While Wei Cheng was looking at these star maps curiously, Bai Chu ran to the bottom of the cauldron and exclaimed, "Brother Cheng, it really is the Yuzhou cauldron, here are the records left by our ancestors of the Bai family."

Wei Cheng walked over, and Bai Chuyi squatted on the ground, stroking a stone pillar, on which there were various small seal scripts the size of fingernails.

Bai Chuyi said: "The last record was left in the 17th year of Jianwu. It has been 150 years ago. According to the records of our ancestors, Emperor Guangwu seems to be looking for longevity medicine. In order to protect the secret treasure, the ancestors had to seal the secret. road."

Wei Cheng looked at the writing on the stone pillar in surprise, "Guangwu, isn't that Liu Xiu?"

Bai Chu nodded, "It's him, what's wrong?"

Wei Cheng's expression changed. He recently checked a lot of historical records kept in the palace, and found that there were very few records about Liu Xiu.

Other emperors recorded everything they said and did, but Liu Xiu's did not.

There are only two possibilities for this kind of situation to happen, one is that Liu Xiu rarely appears in front of the world, and the other is that Liu Xiu forbids official historians to record... Both situations show that he seems to be deliberately concealing something .

"Brother Cheng, there is no problem, you should take the Yuzhou tripod as well, so that we can dance even more."

Holding Wei Cheng's hand together, Bai Chu said, "Can you also take this stone tablet in?"

Wei Cheng nodded, and reached out to touch the stone pillar, as long as he touched it.

Bai Chuyi looked at him enviously, and sighed: "I really envy you. With such magical skills by your side, the sky and the earth are big, and you can't go anywhere."

Wei Cheng stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said amusedly: "If you don't stay by my side, where else do you want to go?"

Bai Chuyi's pretty face flushed, and she also liked Wei Cheng's intimacy, which made her feel that Wei Cheng treated her the same as when she was a child.

Wei Cheng looked up at Yuzhou Ding, and the familiar desire emerged again.

Especially the closer the distance, the stronger the desire.

The Yuzhou Ding, like Ziwei Soft Pillow and Hetu, can be collected without touching it, as long as you open up the space.

It's the same even if the Yuzhou tripod is tied by four big iron chains.

Wei Cheng just had a thought, and the Yuzhou tripod disappeared immediately, and the four large iron chains fell to the ground, making a chaotic sound.

"Wei Jun?!"

The Qilin Guard who was guarding outside heard the noise and rushed in, Xu Chu looked nervous.

Wei Cheng and Bai Chuyi stood on the high platform in the center of the hall calmly, and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

Seeing that Wei Cheng was safe and sound, Xu Chu was greatly relieved.

Last year's incident cast a huge shadow on him, and now he is shouldering a heavy responsibility. He is really afraid that something will happen to Wei Cheng again, especially if it happens under his guard.

"Let someone bury this place, go buy some pottery pots, and bury these bones well."

"Here!"

···
Xie House.

After Mrs. Xie returned home, he locked himself in the ancestral hall alone, and ignored anyone who told him to.

Xie Yu, who got the news, hurried over from the palace, and anxiously squatted outside the door with Ninth Uncle Xie Jin.

"Now that you are pregnant, don't mess around like you used to. These people are really serious and will tell you everything."

Xie Jin brought over a grand master's chair and motioned Xie Yu to sit down and rest.

Xie Yu was not polite either, her stomach had already started to show, and it was very uncomfortable to stand for a long time.

After sitting down, Xie Yu looked at the closed door, frowned and said, "Uncle Jiu, what happened to grandfather?"

Xie Jin didn't know much about it either, but he just heard that Mrs. Xie went to Beimang Mountain and came back like this.

Hearing this, Xie Yuxiu frowned slightly, and said, "Husband also went there, I heard that he killed someone?"

Xie Jin nodded slightly, and said: "When Qilinwei found out, those two people were already cold. Later, Wei Jun went there in person. The people from several aristocratic families were driven back by Wei Jun. It seems that they don't want people to spy on them. secret."

"What kind of secret can a hole hold?" Xie Yu said disdainfully.

at this time.

creak.

The gate of the ancestral hall opened slowly.

The old man Xie was standing behind the threshold, looking at the two uncles and nephews under the porch.

When Xie Jin and Xie Yu saw that the old man had come out without incident, they stood up happily to greet him.

Seeing Xie Yu's big belly, Mrs. Xie hurriedly stepped forward to support her good granddaughter, and said with a smile, "You girl, you will soon be a mother, why are you still so bluffing?"

Xie Yu looked the old man up and down, and after confirming that he was fine, he said anxiously: "Grandfather, you scared me to death, don't lock yourself in the room next time, just in case... Anyway, where are you going in the future?" Make people follow."

Old Mrs. Xie chuckled, knowing that her family was worried about her, especially this good granddaughter, who loved her for nothing since she was a child.

Nodding in relief, "Alright, alright, I will listen to you. Come on, sit down and talk."

There was only one chair under the porch, and the old Mrs. Xie and Xie Jin were both standing, talking with Xie Yu on the left and right.

Because of her pregnancy, Xie Yu hadn't returned to her natal home for a long time.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have a common topic, but this time because of the big pit, they couldn't help talking about the Dingjunfang exercise.

Xie Yunai is the head of the female guards, so the news he got is naturally not comparable to that of Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie.

Apart from other things, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to enter Dingjunfang. The guards there are stricter than the palace.

"Wait, you mean, the cannon that exploded the crater was fired from Dingjunfang?"

Mrs. Xie and Xie Jin were startled by this sentence and looked at each other in blank dismay. Dingjunfang was 25 miles away from Beiman Mountain.

What kind of artillery can hit such a long distance?

Xie Yu said proudly: "Why am I lying to you? Anyway, my husband didn't intend to hide it. The artillery is the result of his retreat this time. There are only two of them, and they are all used to equip the Imperial Knights. My female guard wants None."

Mrs. Xie was so shocked that he was a little speechless. After realizing his gaffe, he asked again: "By the way, and today when Mr. Wei passed by, he was riding a strange iron cavalry, which you know is what?"

Xie Yu covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "What iron cavalry? Oh, grandfather must be talking about warriors, the kind of iron lumps with six big wheels, right?"

"Six wheels... Ah, that's right, it's really driven by six big black wheels. It's tall and big, and it's very powerful. Is it called a warrior? It's worthy of the name!" the old lady Xie sighed.

Xie Jin looked bewildered and curious, "Wait, what are you talking about? It's an iron cavalry and a warrior. How come there are wheels?"

At this time, Xie Yu said with a smile: "How about it, Uncle Jiu, do you want to open your eyes?"

Old Mrs. Xie paused, then came to his senses, and asked in surprise, "Yu'er, don't you?"

Xie Yu raised her neck arrogantly, and said with a grin, "That's right, my husband knew I was coming back, so he specially asked someone to drive me here."

Old Grandpa Xie had a thought in his mind, he couldn't help tightening the things in his arms, and said: "It's a blessing that he treats you sincerely."

"Go, take the old man to have a look!"

The stable in the backyard of the Xie Mansion.

A six-wheeled iron bump was parked in the center of the arena, and almost the entire Xie family was watching the fun here.

Xu Shu, who was in charge of driving Xie Yu back, was being regarded as the honored guest, and was personally entertained by the current Patriarch of the Xie family.

"Oh, this is the first time Governor Xu has come to my Xie family. Come, come, have a drink."

Xu Shu waved his hands again and again, "Patriarch Xie is too polite, I really can't drink any more, Wei Jun said, don't drink while driving, don't drive after drinking, I've already violated discipline."

"Oh, it's okay. Didn't you say that you can call a substitute driver? I'll send someone to Dingjunfang to call someone for you."

Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, so he could only bite the bullet and continue drinking. People like Mrs. Xie were too enthusiastic, and he was also a relative, so he was not easy to offend. It was just a few glasses of wine, at worst, he asked Sima Yi to send him back.

Several people were drinking happily. Xu Shu's status is very important now. He is the warlord who leads the Imperial Knights. He is on the left and right with Zhang Fei, and he is highly valued by Mr. Wei.

At this time, the three of Xie Yu arrived late.

Seeing Mrs. Xie, the Xie family and his party all respectfully saluted and greeted, and at the same time put down the stone in their hearts, and felt much more relaxed.

Don't look at Mrs. Xie's old age, the Xie family really can't do without him, and now the Xie family's pillar is still him.

"Xu Shu met Mr. Xie." Xu Shu also bowed respectfully, and it was a Confucian gift.

Old Mrs. Xie smiled slightly and said: "So it was you, I remember you have come to listen to my lectures for many years, right?"

Xu Shu bowed his hands again, nodded and said: "In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), I was lucky enough to listen to Hongmen Academy. I was ignorant at the time and offended Mr. Xie. The student hereby apologizes to sir."

Old Mrs. Xie laughed and said, "No offense, no offense, you can achieve what you are today. You must have found the answer to those few questions in your heart. I should congratulate you."

Xu Shu nodded and replied: "Indeed, Mr. taught me the right lesson at that time. If it weren't for the personal experience of the past few years, I would not have the insights and achievements I have today."

"This is a good thing. Come, show me this big guy."

"Thank you sir."

Xu Shu opened the car door and signaled Mrs. Xie to go in and experience it.

Old Mrs. Xie was shocked, and later asked Xu Shu to take him out for a walk.

on the way back.

Old Mrs. Xie pondered for a long time before suddenly saying: "Yuan Zhi, when you get back, please help the old man with a word to Mr. Wei."

Xu Shu, who was driving, frowned slightly.

The old lady Xie said with a smile: "If you ask me to tell you something, it is naturally not something that Yu'er should know about. The matter is very important, so I can only ask you."

Xu Shu looked at the heavy-faced Mrs. Xie through the rearview mirror, and said slowly, "Please tell me, sir, the students will definitely bring them."

The old Mrs. Xie looked at the rapidly receding scene outside the window, and slowly took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms.

"You help the old man deliver this thing to Mr. Wei, and say that this is my Xie's attitude. I just hope that Mr. Wei can treat Yu'er and his wife kindly in the future."

Xu Shu parked the car on the side of the road, took the sheepskin solemnly with both hands, and promised: "Don't worry, sir, the students will definitely deliver it to Mr. Wei."

Only then did Mrs. Xie let go of the sheepskin, and the reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes were instantly relieved.

They say they don't believe it, but when faced with the temptation of longevity, how many people can easily give up?
Mrs. Xie also hesitated for a long time, and finally made this difficult choice for the sake of the family.
