Chapter 762: First Exploration of Lishan

Speaking of this, Zhang Laohan sighed and said, "It's just that I am old and frail, and I don't have the ability to return the gem." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"Since you have such a treasure in your hand, why don't you take it and exchange it for some money, so that you can live in such poverty?" Li Yu stared at the gem and asked curiously.

Zhang Laohan shook his head and said with a straight face: "As the people who guard the mausoleum, I have broken the oath of the year by daring to disturb the First Emperor. Zhang Liang stole the gem, but ended up going crazy to death, which is the punishment for violating the ancestral teachings. What's more, this gem originally belonged to the First Emperor, how could the old man dare to take it away? ”

Li Canghai took the gem in his hand and looked at it, then put the gem into the wooden box, handed it back to Zhang Laohan, and said, "Uncle, this gem is worth a lot of money, you must take it." If it is known by others, I am afraid that it will be coveted by thieves. ”

Zhang Laohan didn't go to get the wooden box, but looked at Li Canghai and said seriously: "Childe, the old man has something to ask for, I don't know if Childe is willing to agree." ”

"My husband has something important, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Canghai said.

Zhang Laohan looked at them and said, "Although I am short-sighted, I also know that Gongzi and the others came here to find the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people suddenly became embarrassed.

Li Yu grinned and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood, we are just businessmen." ”

Zhang Laohan glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Childe, I have lived for decades, and I have seen many people who came to look for the imperial tomb, so why should Gongzi deny it?" The old man saw that a few people had extraordinary bearings, and they were by no means ordinary tomb robbers, so he entrusted this matter to a few people. ”

Several people looked at each other for a while, and they were a little at a loss.

Li Canghai stared at Zhang Laohan for a while, and saw that he looked serious, not joking, and after a little contemplation, he said: "Old man, since you know that we are looking for the imperial tomb, why don't you stop us and others, but instead tell us so many things about the imperial tomb?" ”

Zhang Laohan sighed and said: "Although the old man is the one who guards the tomb, he is already dying, and the village of guarding the tomb is about to disappear. Our Zhang family has been guarding the imperial tomb for thousands of years, which is a glorious mission for us, but it is also a curse. For thousands of years, I don't know how many people have died in the mission of guarding the tomb. Now, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Shouling Village, where can they have the ability to stop you? The old man doesn't have much time to live, but Zhang Liang's last wish, the old man will help him complete it no matter what. ”

Li Canghai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely return this gem for you." ”

"The old man believes in the son, if the son can make this wish for the old man, the old man will die without regrets." Zhang Laohan said with tears in his eyes.

Outside the house, the night was dark, the cold wind was howling, and it was midnight in the blink of an eye.

Li Canghai and Zhang Laohan talked about some family things, and then carefully asked Zhang Liang where the cave ** was, and everyone went to sleep.

The next day, the group had a hurried breakfast, simply packed up their bows, and prepared to leave the village and enter Lishan.

As soon as they reached the head of the village, a few people encountered a group of people stepping on the snow.

The carapace, consisting of about ten men and three horses, was heading towards the village with a cart full of goods.

At the head was a young man, seven feet tall, with a plush cloak of fine texture, who looked rich and noble.

The team of people soon came to Li Canghai and a few people, and when the man saw a few people, he immediately jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and said: "Several, I don't know where to go ahead?" ”

Li Canghai clenched his fists and replied: "There is a village ahead, I don't know where Brother Tai came from and where he is going?" ”

The man said: "We are a foreign businessman who wants to go to Chang'an to do business, but last night I suddenly encountered heavy snow and lost my way, so I came here." ”

Li Canghai nodded, pointed to the north and said, "If Brother Tai is going to Chang'an, it should be in that direction." However, the recent wind and snow have been heavy, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to move forward. Brother Tai can stay in the village for a few days, and after the snowstorm has passed, it is not too late to go to Chang'an. ”

The man looked in the direction pointed by Li Canghai, and saw that the mountains and mountains were covered with snow, not to mention the direction, even the road was difficult to see, so he had to sigh.

"Thank you brother Tai for telling me, since this is the case, then I will go to the village to make repairs for the time being, and make plans tomorrow." The man said with his fists clenched.

Li Canghai returned the salute with his fists, and then took Di Qing and the three of them and walked towards Lishan.

Lishan, belonging to the Qinling Branch, is about 1,000 zhang high and has a radius of 100 miles.

There are trees that do not wither at four o'clock on the mountain, there are fragrant flowers in spring and autumn, the mountain shape is beautiful, the peaks and peaks are undulating, it looks like a horse gazing into the distance, the horse that is eager to gallop is named Lishan.

At this time, Lishan was covered with heavy snow, which added a layer of mystery.

Li Canghai took a few people and carefully stepped on the snow to climb up the mountain.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the road leading to Lishan was covered in heavy snow, and the journey of several people was much slower.

It took more than two hours for a few people to come to the beacon tower in Lishan.

A few people rested in the beacon tower, Lu Jitong lit a bonfire, and several people gathered around the fire to roast the fire and eat dry food.

"Canghai, this Lishan is so big, where do we start?" Di Qing looked at the mountains and asked with a frown.

Li Yu also said with a dejected face: "If I knew this, I should have sent more people to come." With such a big mountain, what year and month are we going to find? ”

Li Canghai swallowed the baked cake, then took out the map from his arms, walked out of the beacon tower, carefully compared some surrounding environments, and said: "Looking for a mausoleum can be done without a large number of people. For thousands of years, I don't know how many people have looked for the whereabouts of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, when Cao Cao was short of funds, he sent thousands of people to look for the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but he never found the entrance to the First Emperor's Mausoleum. If you want to find the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, you must gather the time, the place, and the people, all three of which are indispensable. This time, we are just trying our luck. ”

Di Qing rubbed her hands, sighed and said, "In this way, isn't Zhang Liang's luck too good?" As long as we find the hole where he fell, won't we find the imperial tomb? ”

Li Canghai looked into the distance and said, "The mausoleum that Zhang Liang encountered is not an imperial mausoleum, it is too early to say. As far as I know, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is so large that it is absolutely impossible to have only one or two burial chambers. What's more, how noble was the First Emperor, how could he place the coffin so casually in a tomb that didn't even have an ear chamber? ”

"If it's not the imperial tomb, who will it be? There's a lot of mercenary out there! Li Yu asked. (To be continued.) )
