Chapter 843
Feng Yuan nodded.Because the copper cup was relatively tall, Fan Jiannan lifted her up so that she could carefully get something out of the bronze cup.

Before he could take a closer look, Fan Jiannan pulled her back quickly.

The two were outside the cave and took another look inside.Finally, the mechanism was not triggered, Feng Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked down at the things in his hands.In the light of a miner's lamp, it looked like a flake of stone.It was about the size of an ordinary plate. How could this piece of stone be solemnly placed on the bronze cup, and it was covered with five-color soil in front of it?

Feng Yuan handed the stone piece to Fan Jiannan strangely, "What do you think this is?"

Fan Jiannan took it over and took a look, feeling that the tentacles were heavy, and the weight of this piece of stone was probably comparable to ordinary iron products.He frowned, "It seems to be some kind of stone, but why is it so heavy?"

Feng Yuan whispered, "According to the general theory, under the same volume, the greater the mass, the higher the density. If this is a stone, it must be a very dense and very strong stone."

Fan Jiannan frowned suddenly and said, "There are words on it, wait, I probably know what it is."

"What is this?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"The tortoise shell!" Fan Jiannan's face suddenly changed, "This is the tortoise shell of the Luoshui tortoise mentioned many times in the history books! This is a part of the turtle's back shell."

Feng Yuan said in surprise, "Tortoise shell? How can you be sure it's a tortoise shell?"

"Because, I have obtained another part of this tortoise shell." Fan Jiannan sighed, "The ancient plate inscribed with the lower half of the armor days is the plastron of this tortoise. Now this piece, The texture is fine and the color is deep, it should be part of the carapace."

Feng Yuan said in surprise, "No way, why is the tortoise shell so heavy?"

"Because this tortoise lived for a very long time." Fan Jiannan stroked the tortoise shell with his hands, and frowned, "The edges of this thing are almost completely calcified, which shows its age. Now I finally know why this thing It has been valued by so many people. Why did Qin Shihuang not hesitate to sacrifice a bronze deer and seal it with five-color soil."

"Could it be that this is the Luoshui tortoise carrying the Jiugong Luoshu on its back?" Feng Yuan hesitated.

"Yes." Fan Jiannan sighed, "It is said that in ancient times, a tortoise came out of Luoshui, and there was a picture on its carapace. , and He Tu. Even the plastron of this Luo Gui was collected in the ancestral temple by the later king of Chu, wrapped in silk, and would never be shown to others easily. What's more, the carapace inscribed with Luo Shu? In ancient times, all magicians would go crazy for this."

According to legend, during the time of Fuxi's family in ancient times, a dragon and horse emerged from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, carrying a "river map" on its back and dedicated it to Fuxi.Based on this, Fuxi evolved into gossip, which later became the source of "Book of Changes".It is also said that during the time of Dayu, a tortoise emerged from the Luohe River in Xiluoning County, Luoyang, and carried the "Luo Shu" on its back, dedicated to Dayu.According to this, Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, and then designated the world as Kyushu.Based on this, nine chapters of Dafa were established to govern the society, which were handed down and included in the "Shangshu", named "Hong Fan". "Yi Xici [-]" says: "He produces pictures, Luo produces books, and sages follow them", which refers to these two things.

"It is said that these things are very sacred objects, and all kinds of legends are simply magical." Fan Jiannan said with a wry smile, "So Qin Shihuang believed that this is the law of heaven and man, and he collected all the tortoise shells wholeheartedly, hoping to use them to explore the way of heaven. , to get a glimpse of the secret of longevity."

"But since Qin Shihuang has already found this thing, why didn't he take it away and enshrine it here?" Feng Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Because he doesn't want to, but he can't take it away at risk." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "Because this is the land of Qilu, even after Qin Shihuang unified the world, it is also a place where warlocks gather. Think about it, even if he goes up the mountain When Feng Chan, he also shunned the Qilu warlocks who followed him. It can be seen that he is on guard against these people, and this place is closed and secret. He killed all the people who knew this place. Keep it safe with you."

"Maybe he wants to take it away after gathering the other tortoise shells." Feng Yuan frowned, "That's why he went on tour many times. Almost half of his career as emperor was spent on tour. .This is also extremely rare among the emperors of all dynasties in China."

"It's a pity that he tried his best and failed to obtain other parts of the tortoise shell. I'm afraid he will have regrets when he dies." Fan Jiannan said with a wry smile, "The dream of eternal life pursued by an emperor through the ages turned out to be a few broken tortoise shells. .The Council of Yishu, Dongmi Moli Tianben Dao, that's all they are looking for. It's a pity that this great emperor doesn't understand, what's the use of living a long life if you're not happy?"

"Actually, we are the most unlucky ones." Feng Yuan smiled melancholy and said, "Chasing other people's dreams of immortality, but ended up burying ourselves here."

Fan Jiannan was silent, Feng Yuan's words touched his sore spot.Now, here is almost a completely isolated situation from the outside world.

There is a bottomless abyss between them and the exit, and there is a channel that is now filled with water, and even if they overcome these, they can reach the Black Dragon Pool outside.The Black Dragon Pool outside has also been filled with water by Tetsuya Fukuyama, and the undercurrent at the bottom of the Black Dragon Pool can pull anyone who tries to swim up to the bottom of the water.

Trapped in this mountainside, it can be said that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

Fan Jiannan had never felt so decadent and disappointed, even holding the tortoise shell in his hand that would drive all magicians crazy, he didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement.

Feng Yuan pushed him lightly and said, "Jiannan, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Jiannan smiled faintly, looked down at the ancient tortoise shell and said, "I suddenly remembered another story about the tortoise."

"Oh, what story?" Feng Yuan pretended to be very interested.

"It is said that the king of Chu invited Zhuangzi to sit in an official position, and Zhuangzi asked his envoy: You have a tortoise in Chu, which is said to have lived for thousands of years. After death, the tortoise shell was also enshrined by the king of Chu with silk and precious utensils. You said that if the tortoise had a choice, would it be willing to wag its tail and live in the muddy water, or would it be willing to die and accept offerings? The messenger said, of course it is alive. Later Zhuangzi also said He smiled and said, so, I would rather live and wag my tail in this muddy water." Fan Jiannan sighed and said, "Isn't this very similar to our current state, isn't it really ironic?"

Feng Yuan put his hand on his mouth and said in a low voice, "I believe in you, we can get out." Fan Jiannan smiled reluctantly, "Yes, I believe it too. But I need a miracle now. "
