Chapter 58: Flares
If these pythons just eat people, they are no different from ordinary animals, but if they are used to try Dan, it is different. The main purpose of Qin Shi Huang www.biquge.info is to live forever, these alchemists want to practice the elixir of immortality, so they give it to some people to eat, if there are really people who are immortal, wouldn't it be cheaper for those who are tested? Moreover, if the elixir of life were to be tested on humans, the period of observation would be too long.
So, they fed these pythons with the so-called elixir of life refined, and gradually, they found that one day, the body of a giant python gradually became smaller, but it was still alive and without any signs of death. With this surprising discovery, they began to whisper, hiding from Qin Shi Huang, there is such a good medicine in the world, who will give it to others, the first thing that comes to mind is to give it to themselves.
All this was seen in the eyes of a person and hidden in his heart, and he silently carved these things into his bones.
I didn't have any more to say here, but I thought it was quite interesting, so I quickly asked, "Did those alchemists live forever in the end?" ”
Zhang Lao smiled: "I don't know, after all, the person who recorded this incident did not live long in this tomb, and did not see the actual effect, but only recorded such an incident." ”
Hearing this, I felt very disappointed, the story has no follow-up, only try to find it, maybe there are still such records around us that have not been found. I searched every inch of the place, and the bones were the same, with weird smiles on their faces.
I asked the second uncle where he saw it, and the second uncle pointed to the back: "I found it here just now." ”
I came behind him, and suddenly there was a ticking sound, which was found on my left, and I said to my second uncle, "Give me your flashlight." ”
The second uncle handed me the flashlight, and I looked along the position where the ticking sound just came from, and there was a complete skeleton there, without legs, and the upper body stood there straight, a little heroic feeling, and I felt strange that the expression on his face was very calm, and there was no such weird smile.
I walked over to the skeleton and came up to him and said to them, "Come and see, there seems to be something here." ”
Every skeleton here has been drugged by an alchemist, so their facial expressions are weird, but this one is a special case.
Tong Xiangyu put on gloves, touched the skeleton's body, and touched the place where his hand was, and she suddenly sighed in her heart: "It's not good, there's something here." ”
She flipped the finger over and found that there was an arrow in the skull's palm, which was the arrow of the bow and arrow, and it was rusty and so old that she couldn't see it at all if she didn't look closely. Tong Xiangyu said: "Have you noticed that the skeleton's feet are missing, judging from the fractures of his feet, it is very likely that he cut them off himself." ”
The second uncle looked at it, didn't know why, and asked, "Why are you so sure?" The bones here are basically broken hands and feet, and it is not surprising that he has broken a pair of legs. ”
I understood what Tong Xiangyu meant, so I explained for her: "The severed hands and feet of those with weird smiles, the broken marks on their bodies are uniform, but for this skeleton, my thoughts are the same as Tong Xiangyu's, these feet were cut off by the skeleton itself." Because of his fractures, there are a lot of bumps, and he should have been cut many times before being cut off. And others were cut off with a knife, if he cut off his own feet, due to severe pain, he could not use all his strength to cut them at one time, he relied on strong perseverance, and cut it many times before cutting it. ”
But why did he cut off his own feet, I think there must be some secret in this, there must be something on these feet that we can't see.
The second uncle stretched: "There are so many broken arms and stumps here, where can we find them?" Maybe you were thrown into the water, maybe you have been eaten by a python! ”
Tong Xiangyu's eyes were sharp, and she pointed in one direction and said to us: "Look, is it there?" ”
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and the feet were covered in mud, and I was even more convinced that it was the feet, and I hurriedly crawled over and took them back.
There was a fine layer of dirt on it, and I peeled it back layer by layer, revealing a small line of writing, and as I expected, there was a secret hidden on it. Tong Xiangyu was interested in this, picked it up and looked at it, and then her face became gloomy, looking at these words, and looking at Tong Xiangyu's expression, she seemed to know what it was talking about. And my second uncle and I are like reading a book from heaven, and we don't know what is written on it.
I hurriedly asked her what was written on it, and she thought for a while and said, "It says that this man discovered the secret of the alchemist, and that the content to be written was relatively long, and the bones available around him were limited, so he had to cut off his legs and carve words on his bones, and in order to prevent these words from being seen, he buried his feet in the dirt, and he himself bled to death." But in the end, his feet were dug out and discarded here, and a mountain of corpses was built. However, the handwriting was covered in dirt and was not found. ”
I was eager to hear what Tong Xiangyu would say, but when she said this, she didn't continue, her face was solemn. I hurriedly asked her what was going on? "The last few lines tell three important secrets: the migrant worker who came here will not wait for death, he and a brother dug a secret passage that leads to the outside, and his brother escaped under his cover," she said. But in order to record the real situation here, he was later discovered and stayed here. ”
The second uncle hurriedly asked: "Did it say that what is the name of the person who wrote this?" And what is the name of his brother? He's not going to do a good deed and leave his name, right? ”
Tong Xiangyu said: "This person's surname is Jin, his name is Jin Youliang, and the person who ran out is his brother, called Jin Yutang." After the second uncle listened, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stroked his cheek, but he quickly regained his composure, Tong Xiangyu asked, "Second uncle, what's the matter with you?" ”
The second uncle looked at me, glanced at Tong Xiangyu again, and said, "It's okay, I seem to have heard of these two people somewhere." ”
I remember that my grandfather gave me a genealogy, and my ancestor was this Jin Yutang who escaped, there would be no such coincidence in the world, right? Why is this person also called Jin Yutang? There are very few people with the surname Jin, and I heard the story of Jin Youliang and Jin Yutang from my grandfather, which is similar to Tong Xiangyu, so many coincidences together, I am sure that this is our ancestor.
