When Tian Ji climbed up from the hanging wall, he held tightly in his hand something wrapped in thick oiled paper, and he said that there was a loose stone slab under the waterhole, and the thing in his hand was hidden under the stone slab, and I didn't know whether to applaud Lu Sheng for the ingenuity of the place where he hid things, or to feel sorry for him.

Lu Sheng must have reached the peak of magic when he got the Tao, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the descendants of the future, and he cracked the clues he left in two thousand years, I even sympathized with Cao Hua, and by chance he discovered the secret of the ancestors, and even took his life in the end and couldn't find it, I really can't blame him, Lu Sheng used metaphysics to mention the descendants, but I don't know that people are not as good as the sky, and none of the descendants have returned to the old business.

Tian Ji handed me the oil paper bag, squatted on the ground and we carefully opened it, the wrapping was very tight, a total of five layers were wrapped before and after, even if it was soaked in water for thousands of years, it was not penetrated, and the last layer was uncovered, inside was a cow bone box.

After opening it, we saw that the box contained half a piece of jade, and next to it was a roll of bamboo slips, which were densely engraved with words in seal script.

"I also thought that Lu Sheng hid a big treasure, and I did these two broken things for a long time." Tian Ji hung his head and looked disappointed. "At best, it's just a piece of ancient jade, and half of it is missing, which can be worth a few dollars, and Cao Hua was beaten to death for no reason, I really don't know if this Lu Sheng wants to benefit or create evil, I am Cao Hua, I don't expect to die."

"Let's go back first when we get the things, this is not the place to talk." The envelope asked me to put things away.

We rushed back to Gutao at night, and the pheasants fell asleep on the bed with their heads covered, not at all interested in what they found.

"Lu Sheng did not hesitate to be an enemy of Emperor Qin Yingzheng for these two things, changed his name and surname and secretly hid it, I am afraid that the origin of this thing is not small." Gong Jue reopened the beef bone box and asked me. "Do you know what this is?"

I picked up half a piece of jade, it is carved from fine white jade, the wall is smooth, the ornamentation is natural and smooth, strong and magnificent, and the dragon body is decorated with a cloud pattern using a double yin line carving method, a typical Warring States period ancient artifact.

"The thing is a good thing, the quality is excellent, the shape is unique, the jade is warm and polished, like mutton fat, and the jade is one of the six rui of the ancients, this thing can be worth a lot of money when sold." I looked back and forth in my hand for a long time.

"How much is it worth?" Tian Ji heard the talk of money, and quickly got up from the bed.

"It's hard to say, gold is priceless and jade is priceless, ancient jade is sold for an eye, some people see that no matter how much money they have, they feel that it is worth it, without an eye, you are giving it away for nothing, and others are too lazy to take it." I frowned, looked at the jade bi in my hand, and muttered to myself. "Although this ancient jade is good, at that time, with Lu Sheng's identity and status, there should be as much as he wanted, and he couldn't afford to fight Qin Shi Huang for this thing."

"Do you know what it means to be priceless?" I have been looking at the seal of the bamboo slips in the beef bone box, and I didn't raise my head without raising my head, and suddenly asked the field chicken meaningfully.

"Don't make fun of me, I don't know anymore and I know that this ancient jade is not gold." Tian Ji didn't dare to talk to Feng Cheng more, and climbed into bed again.

"I don't think you really understand, didn't you ask how much this ancient jade is worth." Feng Cheng said lightly, pointing to the jade bi in my hand. "He has seven and a half cities in his hands."

"Seven and a half seats...... City? Tian Ji shrank back and sat opposite the seal. What do you call seven and a half cities? ”

"If the jade in his hand is complete, it can be worth fifteen cities, but now it is only half, so it is only worth seven and a half cities." Feng Cheng put down the bamboo slip in his hand and replied. "Do you know what it means to be priceless now?"

……

Tian Ji opened his mouth stupidly, and it took a long time to squeeze out an unnatural smile from the corner of his mouth: "Just this half of broken jade is worth seven cities?" Don't look for me to be happy, it's seven and a half seats, you just gave it to me, I really don't want it. ”

"It's not that you want it or not, but for you, I guess you don't dare to ask for it, how can you hold the important weapon of the country." Feng Cheng's eyes slowly fell on the jade bi in my hand, and it was rare to see him moving and emotional. "In the past, Qiang Qin asked Zhao Qiang for this thing, and was willing to exchange fifteen cities, Zhao Chen Lin Xiangru was ordered to bring jade into Qin, and when the court made a statement to fight, he finally kept this thing from being lost, and also achieved the eternal story of returning to Zhao completely."

"Finish and return to Zhao!" The palace lord and I were taken aback. "This ...... This jade is ...... Is it He's Bi?! ”

"Theoretically, yes." No wonder Feng Cheng was moved, and what we found turned out to be the treasure of the world.

"Well, this thing is expensive." Tian Ji took it from my hand, his eyes were shining, and then he asked Feng Cheng suspiciously. "What do you mean in theory?"

"Because you have only found half of it, and half of it is now missing, the two pieces of jade must be combined into one to be the real He's bi."

"The thing that Lu Sheng took away from the underground altar of the Aoki River turned out to be He's Bi, no wonder he was willing to take risks and go away from home, the world's treasures that had been out of order for thousands of years were actually stolen by Lu Sheng." Gong Jue looked at He Shibi excitedly.

"What's written in the bamboo slips?" I sat down and asked.

Feng Cheng told us that the bamboo slips were written by Lu Sheng himself, and after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he asked Fang Shi Lu Sheng to secretly build an altar in the Aoki River, and in the bamboo slips, Lu Sheng recorded the Spring and Autumn Double Treasure and the clan and the process of Sui Hou Zhu of Qin Shi Huang, which is not much different from the historical records.

However, the bamboo slips mention that Heshi Bi and Suihou Zhu are not just precious treasures, Qin Shi Huang did everything he could to take them for himself, even if he conquered the Six Kingdoms on his own.

After Qin Shi Huang wanted to enjoy the double treasure alone, he hid the double treasure in three places.

"Suihou Zhu was hidden by Qin Shi Huang in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum." Feng Cheng told the story.

"The Suihou Zhu that Qin Shi Huang got is fake, the real Suihou Zhu has always been in Ji Qu's hands, it seems that Qin Shi Huang is really pathetic, he tried his best to get the Spring and Autumn Double Treasure, but the result was either Li Dai Tao stiff, or he was filled with his own pockets." Tian Ji gloated and smiled.

"There is a discrepancy between the He's bi and the records in literature and history, and the He's bi is not a single piece of jade, but is composed of two symmetrical jade rings on the left and right, and what you are holding in your hand is one of them." Feng Cheng said.

"The last time I asked Zhiqiu to help translate the golden inscription brought back from Ji Qu's tomb, it also records that the Spring and Autumn Twin Treasures do not exist alone, and they need to be combined to play a magical role, looking at the semicircular gap in the middle of the jade ring, it seems that it can just corroborate each other with the golden inscription left by Ji Qu." I nodded.

Feng Cheng goes on to tell us that Lu Sheng was instructed to oversee the secret construction of an underground altar, and who was worshipped at that altar is not mentioned in the bamboo slips, but another function of the altar is to hide half of it and the clan.

Lu Sheng knew that once the altar was completed, it would be his time of death, and he would be buried with the secret of the altar.

After all, what can be taken away is the world's common treasure and the clan, Lu Sheng still hopes that future generations can get it, so he left clues in the hope that future generations can discover the secret.

"There are two pieces of He's Bi, so where is the other one?" Tian Ji Cai fan smiled brightly.

"Another piece of Qin Shi Huang was handed over to Hou Gong to be hidden, and the specific location of Lu Sheng is unknown."

"Who is Hou Gong?" I asked.

"On weekdays, I tell you to read more, but you turn a deaf ear." Feng Cheng shook his head and sighed, his face full of disappointment. "Hou Gong and Lu Sheng are the same as Qin Dynasty scholars, but in literature and history, Lu Sheng is known for burning books and pit Confucianism, although Hou Gong is not as rumored as Lu Sheng, but in fact, these two were hot celebrities at that time, even if Qin Shi Huang had to be a corporal."

"Hou Gong is also a priest?" I nodded in realization, and then couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't Emperor Qin really good, such an important treasure is actually handed over to two people who pretend to be ghosts to hide."

"Now that you know the name, it's easy to do, at least there is a direction to trace." Gong Jue said.

"If another piece of Heshi Bi is handed over to Hou Gong, then I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get it back." Feng Cheng shook his head silently.

"Why?" Tian Ji asked.

"Xu Fu, you must have heard of it, right?" Feng Cheng asked rhetorically.

We nodded, it was much easier to talk about Xu Fu, the person who asked for the elixir for Qin Shi Huang Dongdu, and then never returned, so there are many legends.

"In fact, before Xu Fu crossed to the east, Hou Gong had already searched for the immortal mountain for Qin Shi Huang to go out of the East China Sea, and Hou Gong was the first person to cross the east for the immortal medicine, but after Hou Gong went out of the East China Sea, there has been no follow-up since then." Feng Cheng is like a few family treasures, as if he knows everything. "That's what happened to Xu Fu Dongdu later."

"Lu Sheng was sent to Aoki River to build an underground altar, the purpose is to hide the He's Bi, could it be that Hou Gong's eastward crossing to seek immortals is the same as Lu Sheng, but it's just to hide another piece of He's Bi." Gong Jue said.

"There is this possibility, presumably Hou Gong also knows that it is impossible to escape death, so he will never return." I nodded, looking anxious. "But in this case, the whereabouts of the other piece and the clan will also be interrupted."

"Hou Gong was in Liaodong before crossing to the east, and he was ordered by Qin Shi Huang for ten years, it seems that I am going to Liaodong to take a trip to see if I can find out some news." Feng Cheng said.

The palace lord picked up the horn box and looked over and over again, looking a little puzzled.

"What are you looking for?" Tian Ji asked.

"Do you remember that we found the bronze Ryoma in the underground altar of the Aoki River, and when you fell into the water in the bathhouse, the Ryomari mechanism was triggered, and there was a scroll of silk brocade hidden inside."

I nodded and remembered that there were broken lines and irregular patterns on the silk brocade, as well as mutilated and indistinguishable words, and the silk brocade had been destroyed by me just in case, but I remembered the things on it clearly.

"The last time we were taken by the gold lord, the gold lord said that there were two parts of the silk brocade, and I thought that the other part was also taken away by Lu Sheng." The palace lord put down the box of cow bones that had been inspected. "It seems that the other part is at the underground altar."

"According to the content of the silk brocade, it seems that it should be a map, and Qin Shi Huang hid one of them and the He clan in the Aoki River, presumably the other part should be handed over to Hou Gong." I said to them thoughtfully. "Lu Sheng and Hou Gong, one is in Aoki River and the other is in Liaodong, these two people will never have a chance to meet, so it is impossible for them to know the secret of the silk brocade."

"It shouldn't be easy to hide things with He's Bi, it seems that to know the secrets, you must find the whereabouts of Hou Gong." Feng Cheng's expression was grim.

I rubbed my tired face, looked at He's Bi in Tian Ji's hand, and muttered to myself in confusion.

"Whether it's silk brocade or He's bi, I don't know how important these things are, I just can't figure it out, why does the Aoki River have a feather dragon pattern, which is the symbol of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, what does this mysterious ship have to do with Qin Shi Huang?"
