Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret of the Year
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by my dad, who said, "Don't tell him to know." ”
Zhang Yiqing said: "Sooner or later, you have to know what you should know." ”
When my dad saw Zhang Yiqing say this, he didn't dare to refute it, he was completely submissive, and as soon as my dad saw Zhang Yiqing just now, he almost knelt down, and when I supported him, his body was trembling, which made me more curious about Zhang Yiqing's identity.
After all, my dad has dared to offend even the ghosts and gods in the underground mansion and the Qinkou River over the years, but why would he be in awe of Zhang Yiqing, there must be a reason for this.
Zhang Yiqing wants to tell me about this matter, and I naturally want to know it urgently.
I waited for Zhang Yiqing to answer, but Zhang Yiqing suddenly said to me: "Qin Huai, your father is here today, I will marry this girl to you, can you agree?" ”
I'm still young, and I don't really understand the meaning of Xu Pei, but seeing that Qi Yao's face was blushing and about to drip, I probably knew what was going on, and I was also simple-minded at that time, so I felt that Qi Yao was good and beautiful, so I nodded.
Zhang Yiqing quickly laughed and said okay.
My dad smiled too.
Zhang Yiqing turned to ask Qi Yao if he was willing? Qi Yao also nodded.
Zhang Yiqing's smiling eyes were about to narrow into a slit.
Then Zhang Yiqing said: "Then I'll tell you now who the trapped person in the Qinkou River is." ”
I heard Zhang Yiqing want to tell the secret of the Qinkou River, I pricked up my ears when I boarded, Zhang Yiqing and me: "This matter still has to start with Qin Shi Huang, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he was bent on immortality, consolidating this hard-won world, and even wanted to survive for thousands of years, so Qin Shi Huang after sitting in the position of emperor, began to order his subordinates to seek immortal medicine, want to seek the elixir of immortality, what about his subordinates, there was a eunuch at that time, the eunuch's name was Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao was trusted by Qin Shi Huang, and he leaned towards the government and the opposition, referring to the deer as a horse, and killing innocents indiscriminately, but at that time, Qin Shi Huang was obsessed with the elixir and didn't care about these things at all. ”
When Zhang Yiqing said this, the sound of thunder suddenly sounded outside without warning, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.
I looked out and it looked like it was going to rain.
And the rain that will fall in this kind of battle will not be small. My dad also looked out, a touch of melancholy appeared on his face, and he called Zhang Yiqing, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Yiqing pressed down with his hand, and my dad didn't speak again.
And Zhang Yiqing continued to talk and said: "Zhao Gao was also appointed by Qin Shi Huang as the person in charge of the immortal elixir, of course Zhao Gao spared no effort to go south and north, and in the end, Zhao Gao's efforts were not in vain, so that he could obtain the elixir of immortality. ”
In fact, this kind of story, I also heard the old people tell it when I was a child, they all said that Qin Shi Huang didn't want to die, and looked for medicine everywhere, but he didn't find it at all, and then Qin Shi Huang died, and built a terracotta army, a huge burial tomb.
It's just that I'm young and I don't know much about it.
This will Zhang Yiqing talk about these things and remind me of the previous events.
And Zhang Yiqing is still saying that Zhao Gao successfully sought the medicine of immortality, if this is the case, then can't Qin Shi Huang live forever?
I had a huge doubt in my heart, so I didn't interject at this time, waiting for Zhang Yiqing to continue.
Zhang Yiqing coughed, his eyes were long, as if he was also recalling the past.
After a pause, Zhang Yiqing continued: "After Zhao Gaoqiu's elixir of immortality, he didn't tell Qin Shi Huang, but he ate it himself, but in the end it was known by Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang was angry, and he wanted to put Zhao Gao to death, but no matter what method was used, Zhao Gao was not killed, and he was cut with a knife and axe, his body would still reunite by itself, and he couldn't be burned to death with fire." A lot of methods have been used, but none of them have worked. ”
I have a sense of the picture in my mind, thinking about the picture of Zhao Gao being executed by Qin Shi Huang, I feel a little scary when I think about it.
I couldn't help but say, "Master Zhang, is this all the effect of the elixir of immortality?" ”
Zhang Yiqing nodded and said: "Later, when Qin Shi Huang saw that he couldn't kill Zhao Gao, he ordered Zhao Gao to be imprisoned in the water and made of thousand-year-old fine iron. ”
When Zhang Yiqing said this, I understood that in fact, the enemy in my family was Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was trapped in the water.
I looked at my dad, and my dad was really bold, and he dared to grab Zhao Gao's elixir.
Suddenly, there was a lot of thunder outside, and then it rained heavily, and the rain was very heavy, and my father's eyes were full of worry, and then he said: "It seems that he can't hold back, he will definitely get out of trouble tonight." ”
My dad was talking and was about to go out, and I asked where my dad was going.
My dad told me, "We can't affect the village, I have to tell them to go and hide quickly." ”
As my dad spoke, he ran out in the heavy rain, and it was only a few meters away, but he couldn't help but turn around and say to me: "Xiaohuai, remember to follow him, don't leave." ”
I also wanted to chase my dad over, but Zhang Yiqing stopped me and told me not to act rashly, he said to me: "If Zhao Gao breaks the seal tonight, the person who will come to clean up must be you." ”
Qi Yao walked up to me at this time, looked out, and then pointed to the door and said, "There are crows." ”
I looked, and sure enough, I saw a few crows in the rain.
I'm going to want a few crows, and it's really bad luck.
Zhang Yiqing looked at it and asked me to sit down, don't worry too much, he will protect me.
I said to Zhang Yiqing: "Thank you." ”
Zhang Yiqing frowned, and said, "Needless to say, Xie, you promised me that condition, and you must fulfill it when the time comes." ”
I nodded heavily and said yes.
Zhang Yiqing showed a smile on his face, but I seemed to suddenly think of something, that day I went to Wang Po's house with Zhang Yiqing, and Wang Po said that when I was born, I was a dead baby, so I can live until now, it must be because my father changed my birthday, and I also robbed Zhao Gao of a pill.
But are there so many elixirs of immortality? If there were so many, Zhao Gao would definitely not swallow it by himself, but would dedicate it to Qin Shi Huang, so that the two of them could live forever together? Then Zhao Gao will definitely not suffer the pain of being imprisoned underwater.
So it's likely that Zhao Gao only has an immortal elixir, and I don't know how my dad got it back.
I told Zhang Yiqing about the doubts in my heart, and Zhang Yiqing said to me: "Qin Huai, I didn't expect you to be quite smart. ”
I asked, "Then did my dad get the pill?" ”
Zhang Yiqing looked at me and said, "Now, why are you so stupid, if your father didn't get the pill, how did you survive until now?" ”
I was stunned, and then I thought, that's the same.
Then it can only show one truth, there is more than one elixir of immortality.
It's almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and my dad goes out alone, so I don't know if something will happen. I walked to the door and looked out, and it was raining heavily, crackling on the ground, and if it rained for a day or two, the water would probably rise, and the whole village might be flooded.
Zhang Yiqing was still sitting calmly on the table, but with a flash of lightning in the sky, Zhang Yiqing said: "It's not good." ”
After hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "Master Zhang, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Yiqing pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "He's coming out." ”
As Zhang Yiqing spoke, he turned his head to look at me and asked, "Qin Huai, are you afraid?" ”
It must be false to say that I am not afraid, but I know that I can't be afraid now, so I shook my head, Zhang Yiqing suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, since you are not afraid, you can go to Qinkou River with me now to see what waves he can make." ”
I said okay, I'll chase after it, and Qi Yao will also come over, but I am a little worried in my heart, and I want her not to come, after all, Zhao Gaoke is a monster who can't die with a knife and axe, and I can't protect Qi Yao when I turn around.
But Qi Yao insisted on following me.
Finally, Zhang Yiqing said, "Let's go together." ”
I had no choice but to take Qi Yao with me. We braved the heavy rain to get to the river, and when we got to the river, I found that there were a lot of people gathered by the river, some of them were fresh, some were still some familiar faces, some of them were people from the village.
They all knelt by the river, looking at the Qinkou River with reverent eyes, and the Qinkou River also turned up a monstrous wave at this time, and the momentum was terrifying.
It's the first time I've seen the water of the Qinkou River so fast.
Then I heard a crisp sound, and then I saw a bronze platform floating in the water, and a figure stood on it.
I looked at the figure and couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, is that Zhao Gao?" ”
Before Zhang Yiqing could speak, the group of people kneeling on the ground shouted, "Welcome back your lordship." ”
This voice fell, and a very bewitching laugh burst out, laughing wildly, and the voice pierced to the front, and he said, "I really can't imagine that after thousands of years, I can still see you, lord." ”
"My lord?" I was stunned.
Because his eyes were looking at Zhang Yiqing, I could be extremely sure that the person he called was Zhang Yiqing.
Zhang Yiqing is Zhao Gao's lord, so who will Zhang Yiqing be, and is the two of them in a gang here?
The thought of this made my heart beat faster.
Zhang Yiqing said unhurriedly: "Do you still have the face to come to me to see me?" ”
"Lord, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so strong, so unreasonable!"
Zhao Gao spoke, moving towards this side.
I grabbed Qi Yao's hand, maybe my actions attracted Zhang Yiqing's attention, I thought to myself, if Zhang Yiqing was really in a gang with him, I would run away immediately.
Zhang Yiqing seemed to see what I was thinking, so he said to me: "Don't worry, he and I are also enemies, Qin Huai, haven't you always wanted to know my identity?" I can tell you about that now, too. ”
