Chapter 32: The Crazy Stone
It was dark, and the three of them set up a bonfire. The fastest update Qin Beiyang beat a wild roe deer with a cross bow, peeled and barbecued, and made a tooth sacrifice. The young Zhongshan ate with a mouth full of oil, but Jiuse looked at them with disgust.
Lao Jin, who was full of wine and food, hugged his fists and said: "Master, this trip to Shanghai has opened my eyes, and the Ink Tiangong Aircraft Company is also forward-looking......"
"Lao Jin, you don't have to be a sycophant, just say what you think!"
Although Taibai Mountain is in a paradise, it is tainted with many bad customs of the world, such as flattery, and Lao Jin is no exception.
"Master, I always feel that the construction of the Tomb Beast Factory is not like what we assassins should do, but more like an alliance of craftsmen!"
Qin Beiyang was slightly stunned, he had underestimated Lao Jin before, this guy had seen through his mind at a glance, and he was also the nominal leader of the unspeakable secret assassin alliance, the heir of Assasin, and the junior member of the Artisan Alliance. Whether it's an alliance of assassins or artisans, everyone will be punished.
He subconsciously looked at the "One-Eyed Pyramid" symbol on the crossbow steel crossbow machine.
"Lao Jin, it took forty years for Taibai Mountain, costing countless lives to replicate the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang and imprison hundreds of tomb beasts...... You risked your life, killed countless people, and even went against the Beiyang warlords to obtain the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, just to open the Qianling Tomb of Wu Zetian? The ethereal son of the town? Endless secrets? People, people, often do incredible things for the sake of an obsession. ”
"Master, you still haven't answered my question."
Qin Beiyang was speechless for a while, so he simply said it thoroughly: "Lao Jin, I have the heart to completely reform Taibai Mountain, do you support me?" ”
"You are the master, your words are the holy decree, can Lao Jin and Zhongshan Yan obey?"
"In this case, let me first say that you all know that I am the descendant of the Qin family's tombsmith clan. Originally, I hated the transformation of the tomb beast the most, the tomb beast built by my family for generations only existed to protect the tomb owner, and its mission was neither to kill each other on the battlefield, nor to exhibit in a museum, nor to be a cash cow for merchants. But why do I have to do a grave beast factory? Because it is the twentieth century, there will be no more emperors in China, and there will be no more great mausoleums, but I can't let the craftsmanship of the tombsmith clan be cut off, so I want to continue the ancient skills through the factory. ”
"Master, aren't you afraid that the three-thousand-year-old ancestral craft will be stolen? This is a big taboo in the craftsman's business. ”
Qin Beiyang said something heart-wrenching: "Because of these taboos, many of China's great skills have been lost, what a pity!" The Chinese have such superb technology as the town tomb beast, but they cannot develop modern technology and industrial civilization. ”
"Master, old Jin admires! Admire! You really know the righteousness, Ze is born! ”
"It's okay to pat yourself on the back, but Hugh has to mention the words 'Ze was born' again, and it will hurt me!" Qin Beiyang thought to himself that the old Jin man was good, but he was contaminated with the good atmosphere of slapping his beard and slapping horses, "The public and private public craftsman alliance has been looking for the secret of the tomb beast, which will determine the life and death of the assassin alliance. If we don't build the Tomb Beast Factory, sooner or later the Artisan Alliance will take this step, and at that point, we will have only one way to sit and wait. ”
"Master, how do I sound familiar...... Ah Hai said something similar. ”
Lao Jin hit the nail on the head again, does Qin Beiyang want to say that "heroes see the same thing"?
"Hugh must tell me the name of this traitor! Unless you can sacrifice his head! Qin Beiyang avoided the important and light, "I have my own plan!" The general trend of the world, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, we can only do things that conform to the era of the mandate of heaven! ”
"No! Lao Jin deserves death! How can you speculate on the master's talent with your own dull heart? ”
Qin Beiyang was silent, and always felt that Lao Jin was talking back. He slept in the tent and let the Nine Colors stay in front of the campfire to guard against the beasts of the night.
The next day, they continued to search for spirit stones on Taihang Mountain, and Qin Beiyang got closer and closer to the memories of his youth. Enter a deep canyon and hear the sound of a mountain stream rushing as the spring snow melts. Sure enough, I saw the ruins of Yuan Shikai's mausoleum, which was blown up by Zhang Xun's pigtail army, leaving only a broken well and a ruined ruin.
By a clear spring, there was a huge rock, like a beast crouching and drinking. The Hetian warm blood jade pendant was hot, and the heat flowed from the soles of the feet, and the nine colors of the town's tomb beast became more and more excited. Qin Beiyang observed the surrounding terrain, and strong dragon veins converged until they reached the big rock in front of him.
This is it!
Qin Beiyang found the crack in the stone of the year. He let Lao Jin and Zhongshan stay outside, he carried the Luoyang shovel, and got into it with Jiuse, with a rope tied around his waist to connect the outside of the cave, if there was an accident, Lao Jin could also come in to rescue.
The nine-colored glass fireball illuminates the deep cave, and the powerful spirit stone power makes people break their hearts, and it has many spirit stones in its belly, and its eyes are flashing with a greedy gaze.
Finally, Qin Beiyang discovered a small grave made of stones. When he and his father just discovered this place, there was also the skeleton of an ancestor of the Qin tombsmith clan, named Qin Tuoshan, in order to build the tomb of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they went up the mountain to find the spirit stone, but unfortunately they were trapped in this cave and became a place to bury bones.
He first kowtowed to the grave of his ancestors, and found the spirit stone half-buried in the ground for more than ten years, except for the construction of Yuan Shikai's mausoleum, his father had come in to mine, and nothing had changed.
The large brownish-black asphalt-like ore, crisscrossed with lines, and shell-like fractures, resembled clusters of fine grapes, with a semi-metallic matte finish. The radioactivity in this place was strong, Qin Beiyang did not dare to stay longer, and immediately used the Luoyang shovel to cut off several large pieces of spirit stones. Nine Colors transforms into a young Kirin Town Tomb Beast and uses its sharp antlers to help cut together.
At the beginning, Qin Customs only needed about three catties of spirit stones to build a tomb beast, and the nine-colored body needed even fewer spirit stones. And after these spirit stones in front of him were cut and collected, they were enough to build forty or fifty tomb beasts. There are more ore veins underground, and if you go deep into the Taihang Mountains once or twice a year to collect them, you may be able to meet the raw materials needed for large-scale industrial production.
Qin Beiyang didn't dare to touch it with his hands, so he took out the iron tongs and gloves that Li Longsheng had prepared for him. At the University of Cambridge's physics laboratory, scientists use these equipment to process radioactive material. Despite this, Marie Curie, who settled in Paris, later died of pernicious anemia caused by radiation.
Wearing gloves and operating iron tongs, he put the chopped spirit stones into several sturdy leather bags in turn, and carefully dragged them out of the stone cave. The portion was more than 100 catties, and the sun emitted a dazzling reflection, and a few passing birds fell from the sky.
The hole was resealed, and the spirit stone was tied to the back of the pale chestnut silver-maned stallion. Nine colors opened the way in front, Qin Beiyang rode on a sweaty and bloody horse, Zhongshan still rode a chrysanthemum green mare, and Lao Jin was far away leading the silver-maned horse and did not dare to approach.
This group of people walked out of Taihang Mountain and ran through Shanxi Province from top to bottom. On the seventh day, after passing the provincial capital of Taiyuan, and just arriving at the Fen River Valley, the silver-maned stallion could no longer walk, vomited blood, and his hooves twitched, and he died.
A hundred pounds of radioactive elements killed the sturdy stallion in seven days. Despite the reluctance of a hundred Zhongshan, Qin Beiyang forcibly requisitioned the chrysanthemum green mare and re-loaded it with the spirit stone.
After walking for another seven days, he crossed the Yellow River from Fengling, entered the territory of Shaanxi from Tongguan, and went all the way to the foot of Lishan Mountain.
Riding a sweaty horse, Qin Beiyang set up a pergola with his hands, and saw a quadrangular tomb covered with buckets. Hetian's warm blood jade pendant, the nine-colored glass-colored eyes, all emitted a strong feeling. This large mound raised from the flat ground is imposing from afar, as if it has the breath of swallowing heaven and earth, and I really want to get into it immediately to eliminate the cancer cells in the lungs.
"This is the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang!"
Lao Jin has been operating the fakes of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang all his life, and when he comes back to the genuine version, he always feels uneasy, as if the earth will suddenly crack, and drag him down to ask for piracy compensation.
Suddenly, the chrysanthemum green mare screamed miserably, fell at the foot of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, foamed at the mouth, convulsed and died, as if it was a martyrdom for Yingzheng.
This horse couldn't do it two days ago, but Qin Beiyang forcibly asked it to go on the road, which was the price that had to be paid to transport the spirit stone.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, the ghost looked frightened, the front legs jumped high, and the back was still stumbling. Sweaty horses are used for riding, not for carrying goods, and would rather carry their masters to death in a rain of bullets than die on the journey.
Jiu Se rubbed Qin Beiyang's trouser legs, and volunteered to have his eyes glow.
How did you forget it? No livestock can stand the radioactivity of spirit stones, except for the nine colors, its body is already full of spirit stones, fighting poison with poison, and it is as willing as a glutton.
More than 100 catties of spirit stones were carried on the back of the nine colors. It didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but walked like a fly, like walking on the ground. It knew that spirit stones would damage people's lives, so it deliberately kept a distance from the others, far behind the back of the line.
Half a day later, Bailuyuan arrived.
Qin Beiyang came to the tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty and found many new robbery holes, large pits shot by explosives. I wonder what the grave robbers have dug up? I don't know how many Tufuzi died here......
Many great tombs often only have one tomb owner, but they have been buried with countless tomb robbers.
From the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang at the foot of Lishan Mountain to the Bailuyuan outside Xi'an, the distance is only a few dozen miles. Qin Beiyang thought of a possibility that the Tang Dynasty Rubik's Cube Tomb in Bailuyuan was connected to the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang?
Again, this is an unverifiable hypothesis unless someone can dig up both tombs at the same time.
Say goodbye to the Bailuyuan Tomb, carrying a hundred catties of spirit stones on the back of the nine-colored deer roaring in the sky.
Along the Qinling Mountains to the west, Taibai Mountain is already in sight.
