Chapter 16: The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui
Liu Yi threw the corpses of the two giant snakes on the ground and found a place to sit down.
"Besides here, do you know that there are other places where there may be medicinal herbs of a cold nature?"
Meng Ye shook his head: "That's it, I don't know about other places, and I haven't been in further places, I guess there shouldn't be places like this!" ”
Leo Yi nodded, was silent for a while, and re-entered the huge cave, if he went back like this, he was unwilling.
Leo didn't enter the lake, he had already seen at least ten giant snakes swimming around the island, and going there was tantamount to death, he wasn't that stupid.
He wanted to see if there were any other special medicinal materials or items nearby, Liu Yi was looking very seriously this time, and almost turned over this big cave, and even in the snake cave, Liu Yi reached in and touched two handfuls, it was normal to be bitten, and it was useless for him not to break the skin.
was not found, Liu Yi found a very secret cave, blocked by a boulder, if it wasn't for Liu Yi's search inch by inch, he wouldn't have found it at all, this cave was opened by a mechanism, Liu Yi looked through it, and pressed it directly on the side, a stone caved down, and the stone blocking the entrance of the cave rumbled away.
There are a few corpses in this cave, and some ancient books, the corpses Liu Yi didn't care, he cared about the ancient books, and the ancient books Liu Yi didn't dare to touch, this book has existed for hundreds of years or thousands of years, if you touch it, the book will easily disappear, and sometimes time is not easy to resist.
Without touching, without a watch Liu Yi had no choice, he pinched a page with tweezers, and Liu Yi looked at a page, and the pinched pages had been completely shattered.
"It turns out that these people were snake keepers back then."
Look at the corpse is black and shriveled, with no signs of decay. Liu Yi can be sure that these people were killed by snakes, and there is another person whose body is plump and lifelike, as if he has just died, and Liu Yi can judge from some clothing and hair accessories that this person is a figure from the Qin Dynasty.
Liu Yi searched carefully, and did not find any valuable clues, but found some bronze artifacts from the Qin Dynasty, these people should be characters from the Qin Dynasty, and they have been raising snakes here since the Qin Dynasty. The bronze ware is extremely exquisite, and here Liu Yi found a jade pendant, which can indicate the identity of this person.
There is a big Yan character on the jade pendant, in addition to this jade pendant, Liu Yi also found the family tree. The beginning of the genealogy is the famous Yan Le.
In addition to this basic book, Liu Yi also saw a snakeskin suicide note. The snakeskin is not written in ink. It was written in blood, and after many years, the blood on the snake's skin had dried up and was dull, and I could barely make out some of the handwriting.
Reading between the lines, Leo can judge. The one in the middle of the island is the pearl of the supreme yin.
The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui has a more interesting story.
It was an autumn in the Warring States period, and the Marquis of Sui in the Western Zhou Dynasty (the feudal marquis in the present-day Hu/North area) routinely went out to patrol the fiefdom. Traveling all the way to the mountains and rivers, this day to the place of slag, Sui Hou suddenly found a giant snake on the hillside. was stopped and slashed.
The serpent was dying from its injuries, but its two bright eyes were still bright. Seeing that the snake was huge and extraordinary, and full of spirituality, the Sui Marquis was moved by compassion, and immediately ordered his retinue to apply medicine to treat its wounds, and after a while, the giant snake regained its strength, and it shook its huge and flexible body, and circled around the carriage of the Sui Marquis three times, and swam straight towards the vast mountains and forests.
A few months passed, the Hou of Sui returned from the tour, the road met a yellow-haired child, he stopped the carriage of the Hou of Sui, took out a huge crystal pearl from the bag, to present to the Hou of Sui, the Hou of Sui inquired about the reason, but the child refused to say, the Hou of Sui thought that it was useless, and insisted on refusing to accept this generous gift.
In the autumn of the second year, the Marquis of Sui again toured to the boundary of the slag water, rested at a mountain post station at noon, and in his sleep, a yellow-haired boy came faintly, knelt down in front of him, and said that he was the incarnation of the giant snake that was rescued last year, and came to offer pearls in order to thank the Hou of Sui for saving his life.
Sui Hou woke up suddenly, and sure enough, he found that there was an extra pearl at the head of the bed, this huge pearl seemed to have just come out of the water, it looked particularly white and round, dazzling, like a crystal candle in close view, and looked like a bright moon on the sea in the distance, and knew that it was a jewel at a glance.
Sui Hou sighed: A snake still knows how to repay kindness, but some people benefit but don't understand the truth of repayment. It is said that after the news of the Marquis of Sui getting the jewel came out, it immediately aroused the coveting of the princes of various countries, and after an unknown contest, the Sui bead soon fell into the hands of King Wu of Chu.
Later, the state of Qin destroyed the state of Chu, and Sui Zhu was again taken possession by Qin Shi Huang and regarded as a national treasure of the state of Qin. After the fall of Qin, the world was in turmoil, Sui Zhu did not know what to do, the sun rose and the moon set, the great river went east, the once brilliant Pearl of Sui Hou has been submerged in the rolling historical smoke and dust, can not be found, only this beautiful legend full of humanistic care, still faintly flashed in the vast history of the river, bringing warmth and warning to future generations.
The pearl of the Marquis of Sui was originally obtained by Qin Shi Huang, and later when Hu Hai was killed, Yan Le forced Hu Hai to commit suicide, and later Zhao Gao was razed to the three clans, because Yan Le's wife is Zhao Gao's daughter, so Yan Le should also be killed, as for the Yan clan people hiding in this place, they should have fled here, right?
Zhao Gao is not a eunuch, that is a misunderstanding of "eunuch", there is no record in the historical records that Zhao Gao is a eunuch, and there is no record in the history books before the Han Dynasty, and he has a daughter in the historical records.
At that time, it is possible that Yan Le got the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui, and did not tell Zhao Gao, but gave it to his own people, and the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui was very charming.
From some of the information left in the cave, Liu Yi verified that the snakes here did not exist originally, but they only began to raise snakes on a large scale after they came, and their purpose was to cultivate spiritual snakes, and then get more pearls of the Sui Marquis.
Liu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or be helpless, a spiritual snake might not be able to be cultivated in hundreds of years, right? The average snake has a lifespan of about 20 years, and it is not impossible to break through the limit of life, but it will definitely not be easy.
The Pearl of the Marquis of Sui is only so famous, that is because he is unique, and it is impossible for future generations to have it, they think so, and Liu Yi can also understand that the descendants of an official, most of them do not learn and have no skills, and hope that pie will fall from the sky, it is easy to understand such an idea, after reading it, Liu Yi's complexion gradually became weird, and they really got another bead, which was much smaller than the Pearl of the Marquis of Sui, but the same as the moon on the sea, it was worth a lot, and it could even be said to be priceless, and later he was killed by a snake because of greed.
Liu Yi's expression is very weird, the story is fantastic, and his sister's suicide note is also very mysterious, is this really possible?
The Pearl of Sui Hou is not a cold bead, if there is really a Pearl of Sui Hou in the center of the island, then that bead may have undergone some unknown mutations.
Yuehua also belongs to a kind of yin, originally the moon is called Taiyin, for yin, the beads that can have the light of the moonlight must be yin, after knowing this, Liu Yi secretly swore in his heart that he must get the pearl of the Marquis of Sui. (To be continued......)
