Chapter 44: Searching for the Pill of Immortality
Suddenly, a lightning bolt crossed my mind, and the shape of a familiar object instantly appeared in my mind, and I subconsciously said, "This... This seems to be the jade plate in the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! ā
"That's right! That's right! Biaozi said to me excitedly: "Do you remember what the third uncle said that this jade plate is for?" ā
I nodded without thinking and said, "It's used to place the elixir!" ā
I immediately understood what this would mean, and after glancing at the eight copper tripods in the stone chamber, I said in disbelief: "So, this is a pill room where the pills are stored?" And what is placed in the bronze tripod is all elixir? ā
Biaozi nodded excitedly, then squatted down, and went to the ground to pick it up, as if he wanted to find the elixir scattered on the ground, and his mouth trembled and said, "It's gone!" It's sent! There are so many elixirs of immortality, any one of them is priceless! This time, the real female horse is developed! ā
Oh, yes! Judging by the capacity of these bronze tripods, if each one was filled with elixir, how many should there be! I'm afraid that there are not 10,000, but also 8,000, so it's no wonder that the money fan of the standard can't help it at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the next moment, I immediately regained my composure, so I said in a slightly regretful tone: "But these immortal pills are all corpse pills, no matter how many there are, they are still corpse pills, and in fact, there is no use for birds, are you overjoyed." ā
Biaozi continued to look for the Immortal Pill on the ground, and replied without raising his head: "You are stupid! Even if it's a corpse pill, it's also extremely valuable for research, I wonder how many scientists out there are looking for them? Ha ha! What a fortune now! ā
Qin Kunlun glanced at me with a frown, and asked, "Are you sure that the contents of this jade plate are the legendary elixir of immortality?" ā
I nodded and said, "Can't be wrong!" The third uncle's group has taken out a lot of them, and they are now studying them. ā
Qin Kunlun's eyes lit up, and he turned around and hurriedly shouted to the three special policemen: "Quick! Don't stand stupid three of you, hurry up and find me the elixir on the ground, and we'll take it back to study it too." ā
I looked at the sign with a greedy look, and then at Qin Kunlun with an excited face, and suddenly found that I was a little redundant here, and I couldn't help but be a little bored.
There is no doubt that the value of elixir in medicine is extremely high, if you really take these elixirs and sell them, each one will definitely be worth a lot of money, maybe you can become a billionaire overnight. However, in my opinion, money is enough for your own use, it is not brought in life, it is not brought in death, and no matter how much you have, you will not be able to take it away in the end.
In that case, why bother desperately trying to earn more while you are alive? In order to make more money, we have been busy, have been consuming precious time, and often ignore some important things and people around us, isn't this more than worth the loss? Isn't this putting a shackle on oneself?
I was thinking about these undefined things when the angry voice of the mark came over, interrupting my deep thoughts, only to hear him rudely scold: "I'll go! What's the situation, the broken jade in one place, but I can't find an elixir, and my feelings have been looted here? ā
I turned my head to look, not only was the mark in anger, but his face became a little hideous, it was Qin Kunlun, who had always been excellent at cultivating kung fu, but he was also blue at the moment.
I sighed and reminded them, "Don't forget, before us, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent people, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people, and finally there were the third uncle's people." Three groups of people have visited this place one after another, with the purpose of directing the elixir of life, in such a situation, what do you expect to be left here? ā
Qin Kunlun thought about it, and seemed to feel that the matter had come to this point, and it could only be like this, so he sighed heavily and stopped speaking, the expressions of the three special police officers were similar, and their faces were full of disappointment.
Apparently unwilling to wake up from his rich dream, he scolded indignantly: "He's a good woman! I don't believe in so many pills, they are all emptied, and one or two must be left for me as a souvenir! ā
He was extremely unwilling, so he stood up and set his eyes on the five bronze tripods that had not fallen, and it was at this time that I found out that there was actually a copper lid on one of the bronze tripods. I glanced at my feet again, and sure enough! Underneath each bronze tripod, there is a similar bronze lid.
I suddenly understood, as a utensil for placing the elixir, it is natural to keep it sealed, otherwise the medicinal effect of the elixir will soon volatilize, and the people of the Western Queen Mother Country are not fools, it is impossible not to think of this, the reason why the lid of the bronze tripod fell to the ground, it must be the masterpiece of the person who came in to find the medicine before.
Of the eight bronze tripods, only one of them still has a top cover, and it is clear that the pills in it have not been taken away. I can think of this, people as shrewd as Qin Kunlun and Biaozi can naturally see through it.
Looking at the bronze tripod with a lid, the mark thief smiled: "Hehe! I'll just say, how can people's luck keep being bad, no, good luck is coming! ā
Qin Kunlun also came to his senses all of a sudden, and he said jokingly: "It's really the emperor's heart, this trip is not in vain." ā
These two people are fat and thin, old and young, for the same pursuit, their eyes naturally emit the same green light, and I suddenly "clucked" in my heart when I saw it, and then thought of the greedy creature of the wolf.
Seeing the mark, he was about to walk towards the bronze tripod opposite, Qin Kunlun immediately called out to him and said, "Little fatty, you don't know the severity of your hands and feet, don't destroy the things inside, or wait for me to come along." ā
Biaozi was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of "I understand", just like that, these two wolves, uh... Wrong! It was these two greedy fellows who began to walk towards the bronze tripod step by step.
When he arrived, he sniffed in the air a few times, and then said to Qin Kunlun strangely: "Old Qin, do you smell a foul smell?" ā
Qin Kunlun also tried to sniff his nose, and then said with a puzzled face: "I don't seem to smell anything." ā
"Oh!" Biao Zi nodded suspiciously, and then said, "Then let's start doing it!" ā
On the lid of the bronze tripod, one on the left and one on the right, there is a copper ring respectively, which is deliberately cast in order to facilitate people to uncover it. At this time, Biaozi and Qin Kunlun had already arrived in front of the bronze tripod, they posed, and then grabbed the copper ring in front of them with both hands at the same time, nodded to each other, and then began to lift it up vigorously.
lifted it vigorously for a few seconds, but unexpectedly, the inconspicuous-looking bronze cover actually did not move at all.
Biaozi coughed dryly, and said to Qin Kunlun with some embarrassment: "Old Qin, you use some force, I alone should not be able to open it." ā
Although he said this euphemistically, it actually meant one thing, your old Qin is too inauthentic, you will act like a show, just let me exert my strength alone, isn't this a clear trick to treat me as a fool?
Qin Kunlun was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he understood the flavor of his words, so he argued: "Nonsense! I used more strength than you, but you kid, didn't you use all your strength? ā
Qin Kunlun swore that he didn't mean to joke at all, but this time it was the turn of the standard to mutter, and he couldn't figure it out and said, "It's unreasonable!" I think this copper cover is only about 200 catties at best, how can two people not be able to take it off at the same time? ā
Qin Kunlun added: "It's not that you can't take it down, it's that you can't lift it at all!" ā
The standard seemed to have some key question in mind, so he doubted: "Could it be that there is a mechanism on this bronze tripod?" ā
Qin Kunlun looked around the bronze tripod carefully, then shook his head and said, "Except for some simple carved lines, there is nothing else on it, I don't look like there is a mechanism." ā
It seemed that he had thought of something again, and when he turned his head, Qin Kunlun said to me: "Xiao Yang, you go and take a look at the other bronze covers, and see if you can find something like a mechanism." ā
There was an overturned bronze lid on the ground not far from me, and I squatted down to take a closer look, and there was nothing on the curved inner wall of the lid except for two fist-sized scars left when it was inlaid with copper rings, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was as smooth as a mirror.
I turned back to Qin Kunlun and said, "The inner wall of this lid is very clean, and there is nothing. ā
Qin Kunlun thought for a moment, and then said, "Then you try to move it and see if you can move it." ā
The bronze cover is the size of an ordinary foot basin, and the thickness is about four centimeters, and I estimate that it weighs at least one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds, and with my strength, it should not be difficult to move it.
In fact, it was even simpler than I imagined, because the copper cover was semicircular and turned over, so it was very unstable in the stressed part of the ground, and I just gently pushed it, and it turned in a circle.
Everything that happened on my side, Biaozi and Qin Kunlun naturally saw it in their eyes, the two of them glanced at each other, and almost at the same time exclaimed: "How is this possible!" ā
I stood up and spread my hands: "That's just the way it is. ā
One of the SWAT officers didn't know what to think, so he guessed: "Could it be that the bronze tripod has not been opened for too long, so a layer of rust has formed at the joint, and the two have been glued together?" ā
Biaozi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said: "What you said is very reasonable, it seems that we have to knock on this copper and shake off the patina on it before we can open it." ā
After speaking, the standard took off the submachine gun hanging on his chest, and was about to smash the bronze tripod, but Qin Kunlun next to him was startled, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and said: "Don't be reckless, if you break the bronze cover and smash it into the tripod, won't the elixir in it be completely destroyed?" ā
