Chapter 240: Historical Doubts
After making sure it was safe, Yuyi raised his torch and entered the aisle, but he walked fast for fear that something else might happen.
The aisle is about hundreds of meters long, after coming out of the aisle, what catches his eye is a hall, Yuyi raised the torch and looked around, and found that there was an oil lamp on the wall, he hurriedly lit it, the brightness of the hall instantly became much higher, Yuyi found that this was not an ordinary hall, this was more like a garden, because not far ahead, there was a small arch bridge, and the surrounding plants actually grew well, lush, he subconsciously looked up and found that there was no gap above, that is to say, the sunlight could not directly shine in, It's amazing how plants can grow so luxuriantly.
Below the pontoon bridge is a flowing water, but the area is very small, more like a stream, but the speed of the water flow is very fast, its flow direction is from west to east, if this scene is placed in the palace of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, it will not be inferior, but unfortunately it has been sleeping here, if it is not found by Yuyi, it is uncertain how long it will sleep.
Through the pontoon bridge, behind it is a structure similar to the gate of the White Horse Temple, with one door and three holes, the difference is that this side is closed by rocks, and in the middle of the gate stands a statue with a book in its hand, as if reading.
Yu Yi carefully observed the appearance of the statue, its hair stood on end, there was a tool on top of its head, its clothes were long robes, its eyebrows and beard were long, its sideburns were also some broken hair, its eyes were relatively small, but its nose was quite high, its ears were large, and it was smiling.
Soon Yuyi found that the blurred scene in the light and shadow turned out to be the same as this statue, could it be that he was guiding?
In front of the statue, there is a stone slab with words engraved on it, and the font is clearly a small seal, which reads Lü Buwei.
Finally, Yuyi figured out that this Lu family's suspicious grave is actually the tomb of the Warring States hero Lü Buwei, this is a very famous legend of politics and business, but it is a historical rumor that he was finally demoted, drank poisoned wine and died on the way to the fiefdom, I don't know if it's true or not, but this cemetery is his, there is definitely nothing wrong.
Bypassing the statue, Yuyi came to the stone cave where the mouth was sealed, and he found that there was a candlestick with a handle at the edge of the stone cave on the left and right, and the top of the candlestick was empty, which was easy to see as the mechanism of the gate.
Just as Yu Yi was about to turn the candlestick, there were some noises around him, which immediately aroused Yu Yi's alarm, he turned around and looked around, but found nothing unusual, so he once again focused his eyes on the candlestick.
This time, he looked the candlestick up and down, looked it carefully, and found that there seemed to be some gaps in the door opening corresponding to the candlestick, and he didn't know what to do with it.
Yu Yi, who likes to think backwards, thought that this mechanism was set up so simply, I am afraid that there was another plan, if a tomb robber came in, he could easily open the mechanism and go in, it would not be in vain to build such a golden underground tomb.
Yu Yi deduced that this candlestick must be a bait, and after opening it, some dangerous things will definitely emerge from the cracks he observes, such as poisonous mist, or other deadly, which must not be touched.
With this line of thought, he returned to the original point, that is, at the statue, ready to make further observations, he bowed to the statue again and again, showing his respect for his master, and then looked around the statue carefully, and finally found a place on the back of the statue where the color of the skin was obviously different.
Yu Yi didn't think about it, he gently touched that part with his left palm, but as soon as he touched it, that part was pressed in, and the floor under Yu Yi's feet disappeared immediately, and he was transferred to another room.
This room is not as spacious as the outside, but fortunately there are ready-made permanent lamps all around, and as in the previous period, Yuyi lit them one by one.
In the light, Yu Yi found that in the middle of the room, there was a two-person high alchemy furnace, with a silver glow all over it, and a black long sword hung on the surrounding walls, as well as black armor and hats, and a chess piece with "Lu" written on it.
On the other side of the wall, there are some pictures painted on the perimeter, and some text is attached to the periphery, and Yuyi reads along the text and illustrations to understand the real situation.
It turned out that Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng had always hated Lü Buwei, and in the later period, he wanted to kill Lü Buwei, but because he had a great contribution to serving the first king, and there were many guest debaters to intercede for him, so King Qin couldn't bear to punish Lü Buwei.
In October of the tenth year of the reign of King Qin, Lü Buwei was removed from his post as Xiangbang. It was not until Mao Jiao, a Qi person, persuaded the king of Qin, that the king of Qin went to Yongdi to meet the Empress Dowager Zhao and make her return to Xianyang, but sent Lü Buwei out of the capital and to the fiefdom of Henan.
After another year or so, there was an endless stream of guests and envoys from various vassal states who came to greet Lü Buwei. The king of Qin, fearing that he would start a rebellion, wrote to Lü Buwei and said, "What credit do you have for the state of Qin? Qin Guo sealed you in Henan, and there were 100,000 households in the city. What is your kinship to King Qin? And known as the middle father. You and your family have all moved to Shu to live!"
Lü Buwei thought that he had been gradually persecuted, and was afraid that he would be killed in the future, so he committed suicide by drinking alcohol.
Originally, this was the end, but this was just a part of Lu Buwei's plan, he was a person who could play well in the political and business environment, and it was impossible for him to be forced to commit suicide by a hairy boy.
It turned out that Lü Buwei's cup of poisonous wine was not really poisonous wine, but was formed by refining the elixir, which had a miraculous effect, that is, after taking it, it would make people feel abdominal pain, and then vomit blood, faint, and lose breathing, but after three days, they would wake up normally, and everything would return to normal.
All this is a plan of Lü Buwei, he has been operating in the fief for more than ten years, with thousands of customers, Lü Buwei used his life savings to build this gorgeous underground palace, after the suspended death incident, Lü Buwei entered the underground and began to refine the life of the elixir.
In the underground, he sent people to recruit many Taoist priests to discuss various methods of refining pills, which lasted for a long time, and its real purpose was to live forever.
Seeing this, Yu Yi felt refreshed, he didn't expect that Lu Buwei was actually interested in immortality, you must know that Qin Shi Huang also did such a thing in his later years, in order to live forever, he even spared no cost and asked Xu Fu to take 500 boys and girls to the sea to find the so-called overseas elixir, but unfortunately it was all in vain.
Suddenly Yuyi heard the sound again, this time he finally found the source of the sound, it was a black worm more than a person long, its body was full of mucus, which made people sick, and everywhere it passed, white bubbles appeared on the ground, I don't know what chemical reaction was produced.
In a hurry, Yu Yi shot the flying knife, and the direction he aimed at was the mouth of the insect, which he thought could be fatal with a knife, but the insect seemed to sense something in his mouth, and actually swallowed it, and did not forget to lick his tongue after swallowing.
