Chapter 21: Immortality is like a curse
He was a little surprised: "These are purple hagfish, ancient fish species that can only live in the sea, and it seems that this stream is connected to the sea." ”
The stream was very shallow, and after Sun Tao took a searchlight to illuminate it, he determined that there were no other dangerous creatures except for some small purple hagfish, and everyone walked over one after another.
Crossing the stream, there was a slope in front of them, and everyone went up the slope.
An hour later, the group finally reached the top of the Black Mountain.
The top of the hill is open and flat, and there is a pile of decomposed trees from the collapse of wooden buildings, and the ground is full of rotting trees.
With the previous discovery, it was not surprising to see a similar ruin of a building on the top of this hill again, and after making sure that there was no danger around, everyone began to search and excavate, hoping to find valuable clues in this ruin.
The ruins of this place were much smaller than before, and after spending about half an hour, everyone turned it over completely, and all the valuable things were piled up together, in addition to some broken items and utensils, there were also a few broken stone tablets engraved with Qin Wen, according to Li Zhibao's judgment, all of them belonged to the products of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe and Wang Lei wore gloves and carefully inspected these excavated Qin Dynasty objects, Xiao Ling looked at them on the side, thinking that although most of these things were damaged, they were cultural relics and antiques if they were taken out, and they were only afraid that they would be worth a lot of money, but everyone's interest was obviously not here.
Li Zhibao looked at the Qin Wen engraved on the stone tablets, and found that they were all simple introductions, which were related to Xu Fu's going to sea, and these records were also recorded in the history books, which was not unusual.
In the end, Xiao Ling and Yu Tingting found a buried clay pot under a pile of rotten wood, which was intact and sealed.
Xiao Ling felt that there should be something inside, and he was a little excited, so he hurriedly moved in front of Li Zhibao.
"Elder Li, there seems to be something here, take a look."
"Well, the mouth of this jar is sealed, no air enters, and it can be used to preserve some important things, as long as the seal is not broken, it can even be stored for thousands of years without rotting."
Li Zhibao said while signaling everyone to retreat, after all, no one knows what is sealed in this crockpot, and if it is something dangerous, it will be troublesome.
After everyone retreated, Sun Tao instructed a team member to find a wooden stick and use the wooden stick to knock on the seal from afar.
This is a seal formed by firing special clay, and the wooden stick is struck hard, and the crack slowly shows the crack, and finally a small hole is knocked out.
After the hole appeared, everyone waited quietly for a while, and only after making sure that there was no danger such as poisonous gas or poisonous insects inside, did they slowly approach.
Sun Tao took the wooden stick in the hands of the team members, and then continued to knock the hole in the seal wide, and finally found that it was full of bamboo slips.
Because it was placed in a clay pot sealed with mud, the bamboo slips are still intact despite thousands of years.
Sun Tao took out the bamboo slip and handed it to Li Zhibao.
Others gathered around.
Li Zhibao carefully unfolded the bamboo slips, which were densely covered with Qin characters.
"This bamboo slip was sealed in a clay pot, and it was so carefully preserved, what important information should have been recorded on it." Hu Shengzhe's face was solemn, looking at the bamboo slips that were unfolded.
Xiao Ling, Yu Tingting and Wang Lei all came around.
Li Zhibao lowered his head and looked at it intently, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "What is recorded on this bamboo slip is the process of Xu Fu going to sea to find the fairy mountain, just like the diary written by our modern people, if these are true, then according to what is said above, this bamboo slip is written by Xu Fu himself." ”
Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and said: "This bamboo slip was written by Xu Fu himself back then, is it the process of going to sea to visit immortals, he kept it so carefully, could it be that some very important information was recorded on it?" ”
Li Zhibao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any important information for the time being......"
While speaking, he continued to look down, suddenly pouted lightly in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pointed to the number of bamboo Qinwen, and said: "It says that they 'climb the tent pot, cut down and live, in order to seek immortal fate', it seems that those boys and girls led by Xu Fu really lived here for a period of time, Penglai was also known as the Penghu in ancient times, when Xu Fu took thousands of boys and women, he really arrived here by boat, boarded Penglai, and hoped to find the fairy fate." ”
Everyone listened quietly, seeing that Li Zhibao quickly finished reading the bamboo slip, and then his face showed a deep groan, and he slowly rolled the bamboo slip again.
Xiao Ling said: "Old Li, this Xu Fu took thousands of people to the Black Mountain, and lived here for a while, but after that, what happened to them, or where did they go?" If they die here, there should always be bones left. ”
Xiao Ling saw the groaning look on Li Zhibao's face, he should have made a discovery.
Li Zhibao took a slow breath and said, "This bamboo slip records that after they lived here for logging and dwelling, they had to meet the immortal fate, and their immortality was expected to ......."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Xu Fu really met the immortals in this Penglai Mountain and sought immortality?
"How is this possible?" Hu Shengzhe's first reaction was this absolute nonsense, throughout the ages, how could he ever have heard of such an immortal person?
Wang Lei knocked on the pipe in his hand and said, "Old Li, is there a detailed record of what happened here?" ”
Li Zhibao shook his head and said: "What I can't understand is the last paragraph of this bamboo slip, the last paragraph says that it is possible to meet the immortal fate, and there is hope for immortality, but the next paragraph says that it is impossible to understand the horror of things, immortality is like a curse, and those who are destined to be nourished by blood, vermiculite can be solved, and then the record will be broken because of this." ”
Everyone looked at each other, if this bamboo slip was really written by Xu Fu himself, what was called an incomprehensible horror that he encountered back then, and what was the expression of the immortal curse.
"What terrible thing did this Xu Fu encounter here back then? What is the meaning of what he said about immortality as a curse? As for what is destined, nourished by blood, vermiculite can be solved, this passage is even more incomprehensible. Hu Shengzhe frowned.
Xiao Ling said: "Since he carefully sealed this bamboo slip here, maybe he wants to leave it for future generations to see, there may be very important clues hidden in it, but unfortunately we can't refer to it for the time being." ”
Pang Yan took a camera and took a picture of the bamboo slip before saying, "Could the horror he said be the devil polyp or the giant turtle monster?" ”
Yu Tingting shook her head and said: "I don't think so, the terrible thing he said should have been encountered after climbing to the top of the mountain and living in wood, and it must be related to immortality, otherwise there will be no sentence of immortality like a curse later, maybe this is what he wants to express." ”
