Chapter 44: The Quest from Life to Death

In "Han Feizi" there is a record of He's Bi, about in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Bian He, in Jingshan saw a phoenix falling on a stone and called for a long time, so he decided that this stone was a rare treasure, so he held the stone to offer to King Chu Li, King Li let the jade worker check, the jade worker said that Ya is a broken stone, and then King Li was unhappy, cut off Bian He's left foot. Later, King Li died, King Wu ascended the throne, and Bian He held the stone to offer to King Wu, but he repeated the mistake and lost his right foot. When King Wu died and King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He still wanted to offer treasures, but there were really no more feet, so he hugged the stone and went out of the mountain to cry for three days and three nights, eager to get King Wen's attention. As a result, this King Wen was also idle and had nothing to do, so he sent someone to ask what was going on, Bian He said it again, which basically means that I don't care about my own losses, but I feel worthless for this Baoyu! So King Wen was deeply moved, and in line with the principle that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, he ordered the jade workers to cut out the stone and obtain the treasure jade, which was named Heshi Bi.

Later, He's Bi became the treasure of Chu State, not only able to control the country, but also held many hats, helping a group of historical figures to leave a good name and notoriety.

When I first saw this story, I didn't think deeply about the meaning, but I felt the incompetence of the king of Chu. Not to mention that I don't even understand the common sense that women and children know that the phoenix does not fall without treasures, let's just say that Bian He has dedicated the monarchs of the three dynasties, among which King Wu of Chu alone reigned for 51 years, can this be an ordinary person? This kind of person just doesn't come to send treasures, and they have to hurry up to discuss the way of health preservation!

Later, the person in front of him agreed to the Six Kingdoms, and the He's Bi was used to engrave a name seal, and the "treasure of the world" was passed on until the five dynasties and ten countries disappeared.

This is all clearly written in the history books, and now Liu Shishi actually says that it is a fake!

"!" Wang Shanqi said angrily: "The jade seal of the country has been passed down from existence to none, and it is clear in history, how can it still be a fake?" ”

Liu Shiwu didn't pay attention to him at all, and turned his head to look at the chair, but I felt very strange and asked, "Isn't it lost?" How is it clear again? ”

"The last time the jade seal of the country appeared was after the death of Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty, someone sold it along the street in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and was purchased by the Yuan Prime Minister Boyan. This person has a bad habit and likes to grind out the jade seals of various countries and then give them to others to govern the seals, and scholars speculate that the jade seals of the country have also suffered this fate. ”

I only know that the jade seal of the country was burned during the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, but I didn't expect this kind of thing, but I don't know what the situation was before the Yuan, and I just wanted to ask again, but Gege said on the side: "The theory of fakes is not nonsense, but the definition of fakes is clear." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Shanqi asked.

"According to legend, Qin Shi Huang chose a side of Lantian white jade, made dragon fish and phoenix bird buttons, engraved with a big seal, ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang." Gege said eloquently, "If this statement is true, then there have been two heirloom jade seals, we generally think that the He's bi is carved, there are five dragon buttons is the heirloom jade seal, and this one is the seal of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Which one is a fake?" I asked Gege.

"To put it a little more extremely, the Seal of the Son of Heaven is a fake!" Gege Dao.

Wang Shanqi pondered for a while, "That doesn't mean that this jade seal is the jade seal of the country, there are too many doubts, first of all, the place where it appears is inconsistent with the historical records, and secondly, the material and shape are not right, there is no seal at all!" ”

At this time, Liu Dongxi turned his head and said disdainfully: "The frog at the bottom of the well!" How do you know there's no Inyu? ”

Wang Shanqi jumped up with his arms in his arms, "Who are you scolding?" ”

"Whoever admits and scolds whom!" Liu Dongxi walked over and took out the kettle from his bag with one hand, "I'll teach you to understand!" Then he poured the water from the kettle onto the jade seal.

A miracle happened, and where the water flowed, the jade color became more moist, and the blue churned, as if it was about to flow down. The entire jade gradually became transparent under the light of the flashlight, and the blue inside churned and flowed, vaguely like the appearance of five dragons!

"This is ......," Wang Shanqi was speechless.

"This is what you call the Five Dragons Yinu, and the Heshi Bi is so valuable, not because of how precious its jade is, but because of these five blue dragons, this is unique!"

The water trails on the jade seal quickly dried up, and the five blue dragons that kept swimming turned into vague shadows again.

"Si'an, look at the back of that chair!" Liu Shixiang pointed his finger.

I looked over and saw that the back of the chair was covered with strange writing, some of which looked like bird seals.

"Is this a bird seal?" I don't recognize this kind of text with complex strokes.

"No, it's much more complicated than seals." Liu Dongxi said, "This is my family handbook!" ”

"Oh......" I didn't understand what that meant.

"Si'an, I'm afraid it's true that those pills can make people live forever!" Liu looked at me, "There are many errors in the usage of these words, and at first glance they are the result of outsiders forcibly deciphering them, but I can probably understand the meaning of this text......"

"The Great First Emperor, riding on an eternal warship and carrying his own empire, will surely conquer the immortal mountain of the Xia Emperor and seize eternal life!"

I was taken aback, this Qin Shi Huang is really a stinky fart, he smells of stinky fish, and he is coaxing to occupy Xia Shan!

Looking at its closed eyes, I was relieved to make sure that I hadn't sensed the breath of the Xia family's descendants and resurrected it, and at the same time I was amused by my thoughts.

"Don't care if it's true, it's a matter of time that this guy is Qin Shi Huang?"

"There will be no more mistakes, unless there is a second First Emperor!" Liu Dongxi said.

"It won't be wrong, he calls himself the First Emperor, carries the jade seal of the country, and is equipped with such a long sword, and his tone is arrogant, who is it if it is not Qin Yingzheng?" Gege Dao.

I looked at the ugly face full of anger again, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Qin Shi Huang's army of driving tigers and wolves, swept Liuhe, and was the lord of the world, how honorable. And such immortal feats still can't fill the desire of this generation of emperors, if it weren't for the obsession with eternal life, he should lie quietly in his luxurious mausoleum and enjoy his glory forever. After more than 2,000 years of dry sitting, he will be exposed to us, let others speculate, and lose his dignity.

Everyone obviously thought of this layer and was silent for a long time.

Liu Shixi gently covered the lid of the jade seal of the country and said to us, "Let's go!" Hurry up and find a way to control the ship! ”

"No!" Wang Shanqi's eyes showed a feverish look, "You guys go and find it, I want to study this jade seal carefully!" ”

"What is there to study, just a stone!" I thought about this experience, and felt that all pursuits were flashy as a cloud, and opened my mouth to persuade.

"You can't ignore a scholar's quest for truth!" Wang Shanqi said, "One of the biggest secrets in Chinese history is in front of me, and I can't give it up!" ”

"Forget it!" I feel that Wang Shanqi is writing poetry again, "The biggest secret in history? This bit of history isn't even a of to what we're looking for! ”

Wang Shanqi was stunned and shook his head, still staring at the box and the First Emperor sitting on the chair.

I looked at him and felt a lot of emotion in my heart, as a group of latecomers in the pursuit of eternal life, we are walking on the road of our predecessors in the pursuit of eternal life, this road is so long and there is no end in sight. Wang Shanqi probably didn't want to study any lost history, he was afraid, afraid of the ultimate secret, afraid of his own end.
