I was an alchemist in those years

I didn't seem to hear it at all. I ran over and slowly put the red-hot golden dragon turtle into the fish tank. A cloud of water vapor suddenly rose up, and then slowly sank into the fish tank. The poor fish in the tank ran around in panic.

"Brother Yanhui, what does this mean?" Gu Anqi asked curiously.

"The turtle holds the sea to show the number of days. I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before. It turned out that I thought about it in the wrong place from the beginning." I said, staring at the golden dragon turtle in the fish tank. "There is only a rumored record about a turtle holding up the sky. When Nuwa mended the sky, because the pillars supporting the sky collapsed, Nuwa beheaded a big turtle and cut off its limbs to support the sky."

"Yes, I was also thinking about this at the time, is there something wrong?" Gu Anqi asked puzzled.

"Of course not, the dragon tortoise is different from the tortoise. I was misled. In fact, there is another allusion."

"What allusion?"

"Have you ever heard of Yanbo Fishing Old Man Song?"

Yue Qianling looked at the fish she carefully wanted in the fish tank with heartache, and said through gritted teeth.

"As long as you have a lot of knowledge, you think that others are idiots. I can also fish for old people's songs in smoke and waves. Yin and Yang are smooth and unfavorable. The second is to return to the hometown and the first nine palaces. If you can understand the principles of yin and yang, the world is in the palm of your hand. Xuanyuan Huangdi Fighting against Chiyou, chasing the deer for years and suffering unabated, I dreamed that the heavenly gods gave me talismans, I went to the altar to offer sacrifices and practiced piously, the dragon's negative figure came out of Luoshui, the colorful phoenix carried the book in Biyunli, because of fate, the wind later acted as a novel, and the armor was strange. From here on..."

Yue Qianling was angry and wanted to finish reciting the Yanbo fishing old man's song, but Gu Anqi suddenly interrupted her.

"The negative picture of the Shenlong comes out of Luoshui... The Shenlong here actually refers to the dragon tortoise. It turns out that the second sentence of the formula refers to this meaning."

"Brother, I don't know what is the negative map, what is Luoshui, but it means that this dragon is about to surface." Xiao Lianshan leaned his head and asked curiously. "But this golden dragon turtle is made of gold. If you put it in the water, it won't float."

"Don't worry, you'll know after a while!" I said calmly.

Everyone stared at the golden dragon turtle in the fish tank intently, except Yue Qianling who looked at her goldfish with heartache, and suddenly I stared at the golden dragon turtle sinking in the bottom of the water in surprise.

The golden dragon turtle that was motionless at the bottom of the water suddenly started to shake, and then rose slowly. It was like a dragon that had been dormant for thousands of years on the water, slowly swimming towards the surface. Everyone was dumbfounded, and a piece of gold actually surfaced.

There was a roll of paper in the dragon turtle's open mouth, and I took it off carefully.

"Brother Yanhui, how do you know that the golden dragon tortoise will float?" Gu Anqi's eyes widened in confusion.

"It was still inspired by the tea house. I saw water being poured into the red-hot soup pot, and I suddenly understood what the small holes in the body of the golden dragon tortoise meant. The design of this thing is really exquisite. The hot body expands, and the inside is full of hot air. After being placed in the water, the water is poured into the body of the dragon turtle through small holes. There is an inner tank inside, which triggers the mechanism when it encounters the pressure of the water. The inner tank is like the drainage chamber of a submarine. The heat and water inside also trigger the secret protection mechanism, because the Golden Dragon Turtle is hollow, and under the principle of buoyancy, it will naturally float up."

Gu Anqi nodded suddenly, she didn't expect the design of things hundreds of years ago to be so magical.

"You are lucky, you can be fooled by this." Yue Qianling said with a helpless sneer.

"Brother, look at what is written on the paper, does it indicate where the Fourteen Tombs are?" Xiao Lianshan asked eagerly, leaning over his head.

I carefully unfolded the scroll in my hand.

"The dragon's head is dotting the eyes, and the mountains and rivers are moving, and the master of the universe is in August..."

"No more? Just these two sentences?" Xiao Lianshan looked disappointed.

I nodded and thought for a long time in silence, but I didn't even try to understand the meaning of the two sentences on the scroll.

"Brother Yanhui, the dragon's head is dotting the eyes and the mountains and rivers are moving. You look at the head of the golden dragon turtle." Gu Anqi pointed to the golden dragon turtle floating on the water.

There is a crystal clear opal on the faucet, just in the middle of the two tentacles of the faucet.

"Dragon tortoise is Xuanwu. I have never seen Xuanwu with eyes on his head. This opal is obviously not for decoration. The dragon's head is the eye... Maybe it is this opal. I don't understand." I sighed.

"Brother Yanhui, being able to unlock the Golden Dragon Tortoise is already very good. At least it is one step closer to the Ming Tombs. This is a good thing and should be celebrated." Gu Anqi said with a smile.

I also nodded helplessly, and took the dragon turtle out of the water.

"An Qi is right. I finally solved the secret of the dragon tortoise. Judging from the clues on the scroll, this dragon tortoise will still be useful in the future."

"Look how happy you are. People who don't know think you've found the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. What's there to be proud of?" Yue Qianling said coldly from the side.

The phone in the living room rang, Yue Qianling reluctantly handed the phone to me after saying a few words, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

I never thought about who would call me, so I was taken aback for a moment and picked it up. Professor Jiang's polite voice came from the phone, asking me to come over and discuss something.

Thinking of Professor Jiang explaining Yue Qianling's poem about the bronze mirror, the world is endless, and the person in the mirror is the most beautiful, I just want to laugh, I think this old man is very interesting.

On the way there, I suddenly understood the expression on Yue Qianling's face. After all, Professor Jiang is also a department-level cadre receiving a national subsidy. For a moment, it wasn't Yue Qianling, his favorite disciple, but me. It's no wonder that Yue Qianling kept giving me cold eyebrows along the way.

The place where the car stopped is a Taoist temple. The mountain gate is majestic and majestic, with overlapping eaves. Dragon and tiger auspicious animal carvings are inlaid on the pilasters of the eaves. The carvings are meticulous and elegant. It is very vivid and magnificent.

The horizontal plaque with golden characters hangs high above the mountain gate, and the writing is powerful.

Qingyang Palace!

Professor Jiang asked me to visit the Qingyang Palace?

I have always been very interested in Taoist culture. There are many audiences on Rongcheng Road, and Taoist culture is very strong. If it is not because of the Ming Tombs, I would have thought of going out for a while.

"Brother, why are there so many soldiers and police standing?" Xiao Lianshan asked in surprise as soon as he got out of the car.

Only then did I realize that the ticket office of the Qingyang Palace was closed, and many tourists were wandering around or looking in at the entrance, while a large number of police and armed police stood guard at the entrance with live ammunition.

"Put this on, you won't be allowed in." Yue Qianling handed over two badges.

The badge reads Temporary Observer of the Institute of Archeology.

I was a little surprised by my new title. After I exchanged glances with Xiao Lianshan, I smiled and followed Yue Qianling into the Qingyang Palace.

The temple is surrounded by fragrant clouds, solemn and majestic. Too many people rushing in and out have destroyed the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere here. I followed Yue Qianling through the Doumu Hall and came to the three terraces in the back garden. I saw a large number of people squatting Excavating on the ground, a hole more than one meter deep has been dug in an open space next to the three terraces in the back garden.

Professor Jiang, who was patrolling, saw me and greeted me with a smile.

I smiled slightly, looked around and said.

"You always asked me to come today, I'm afraid you didn't take me to visit the Qingyang Palace."

"I have something to ask for your help, won't I bother you?" Professor Jiang said with a friendly smile.

"Professor Jiang, don't be polite to him. If you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, he probably won't be able to help you, so as not to waste your time." Yue Qianling said sourly beside her.

"Your old lady is very polite, please don't ask me anything, just ask me if you have anything to do." I said calmly.

"The night before last night, the three terraces in the back garden of the Qingyang Palace were renovated due to drainage problems. As a result, some workers found porcelain during the excavation process. The person in charge of the Guanli notified the police. We rushed to dig and found a large number of cultural relics buried here, but The things are very messy, there are all ages, and it doesn't look like a tomb, I think you read a lot of ancient books, so I would like to ask you to help."

I nodded, and walked around the excavation site. There were indeed many ancient relics buried in the soil. I just picked up a porcelain vase, but before I even looked at it, someone snatched it away.

"Song powder celadon glazed official kiln bottle, the bottle mouth is incomplete, the bottom of the bottle is seriously damaged, and the bottle body has three broken cracks, straight from the bottle mouth to the neck of the bottle. Immediately arrange rescue repairs."

I raised my head and saw that it was a woman who was speaking. She should be about the same age as me. She was pretty and pretty, and there was no trace of superfluous expression on her face.
