Volume 3 The Appearance of the Dragons Chapter 103 Xuanwu Mansion
Walking to the end of the trail, I came to the door of the hanging flowers, and it was a false cover as usual.
The big head said, "The Xuanwu Mansion is a standard three-hall quadrangle, you see. As he spoke, he stepped through the Hanging Flower Gate, and as far as his eyes could see, the tall bronze Danding. Sure enough, it can only be placed here. ”
Wait a minute! My eyes fell on the bronze Danding, and I instantly felt that something was wrong, "This thing is almost the same as the Danding in the tomb of the prime minister surnamed Hu under the Hu Bo in Huangshan, Xiu'er, Heizi!" "I wondered if I had a mess of memory, so I turned to both of them for help.
But seeing that his eyes were stunned, he also nodded after hearing my words. "It's almost identical! What's going on? Could it be such a coincidence? Xiu'er said.
"Heizi, one more thing, I only remembered when I saw this bronze tripod, the place we are in now is Xuanwu Mansion, and there is this bronze Danding in the mansion. Think back to the time when you were in Huangshan, that cave, the three of us saw the Xuanwu pattern for the first time, and you also confirmed that it was indeed a memory that belonged to you. Well, there are two coincidences! I don't think that's going to happen anyway! ”
Heizi frowned and looked at the bronze Danding, and said for a long time before he spoke, "This city is obviously built in the style of the Tang Dynasty, but the one under the Huangshan Lake is an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, one Tang and one Ming, with a thousand years in between, if there is really some kind of connection between the two." Then the prime minister surnamed Hu must have come here to seek a way to refine the elixir of longevity, which means that the Wu Kingdom was still inhabited at least in the Tang Dynasty. However, what Prime Minister Hu didn't expect was that the reason why the people of Wuguo were able to live forever was not because they could refine the elixir of immortality, but mostly because of the purple object in the sea of underground magma. So much so that Prime Minister surnamed Hu ended up with such an ending. ”
If you think about it, this is the only possibility. However, the matter of Xuanwu has not yet been explained, and Kuroko is nothing more than in his twenties like us this year. In his memory, the Xuanwu totem in the belly of the giant beast in Huangshan was drawn by him and his father, and after thousands of years, the Xuanwu pattern appeared in two places at the same time, how to explain it?
However, it is impossible for Kuroko to give any answer to this question. I only heard him say, "I can only wait until I find my family and ask clearly." ”
The objects in the courtyard are easy to see. So the people dispersed, and each went to the east and west wings on either side. And the sunspot habitually jumped to the bronze tripod, and then said, "The tripod is empty." ”
I sighed when I heard it, the last time I met the bronze danding, the three of us almost lost our lives, although in the end I inexplicably took in the nine-headed spirit snake, but I can't meet the same situation again.
It didn't take long for us to reunite in the courtyard, and the harvest of the wings on both sides was very important to Pang Qinghe. Pang Tianhui's handwriting flashed in front of her eyes on the scattered rice paper, and by reading the materials similar to those experimental records, it can be known that at the beginning, Pang Tianhui was alone and went through a lot of hard work to find and enter this place. The kingdom of Umbo was deserted, and all the inhabitants seemed to have evaporated from the world.
However, according to the records, it seems that he is going in the opposite direction of our journey, and I don't know if this is because he has collected more information in advance or what. All in all, his first stop was the city. After collecting the remaining ancient records of all the houses in the city, and then sorting and researching them, he stayed here for nearly half a year, and at that time, he was still immersed in the joy of unveiling the last veil of the elixir of life.
The fat man asked curiously, "What did Pang Tianhui eat in half a year?" Won't you starve to death? ”
The big head can't answer this question for the time being. However, the following records immediately showed what he relied on to maintain his strength, and it turned out that on the other side of the city, there were many strange-shaped fruits on the mountain, which could be eaten to ward off hunger. Later, he concentrated on his research in Xuanwu Mansion, and finally did study some doorways. And he thought that he had thoroughly understood the method of developing the elixir of longevity, and whimsically tried to open the alchemy, waiting for the elixir to come out and then return to Beiping City to restore his life.
From the news about him that I learned before, and the introduction between the lines at this moment. We can clearly see that Pang Tianhui was definitely the leader of the younger generation, and it is not an exaggeration to call it rare. So he made the same mistake as other brilliant people, and thought very highly of himself. After that, he spent half a year going down to Xunlongjian to pick herbs, which was very convenient, and the materials needed to refine the elixir of longevity were basically available. By the time he really started refining the pill according to the method in the literature, it was already a year later.
And then there's the long and cumbersome experiment journal. I just looked straight behind me. It is said that the whole experimental process took another year. At this point, it took him two years before he realized that there was no elixir of life at all, and everything was just a big lie and a trick used to deceive the world.
After two years of living alone, he unconsciously changed his way of thinking and mind in all aspects without his own knowledge. It was from that time that Pang Tianhui gave up the idea of going anywhere to find the art of immortality, you know, if you spend the first twenty years of your life focusing on one thing, and one day you suddenly decide to give up, that kind of blow is not something that ordinary people can bear.
But Pang Tianhui persevered, although only judging from the text, he didn't know whether it was true or not. So he thought about leaving and going back to the real world. However, at the end of the record, he said that he wanted to go to the ninth floor of the main building of the city, which was repeatedly emphasized in the ancient texts in the city to not be allowed to step in.
What happened after that is not recorded, and we don't know if he entered. It can only be seen that the next sheet of paper, which is clearly different from the one used for the previous record, has begun to be recorded again.
However, after only a short paragraph, I can know that the records at the two ends must not be coherent, at least several years apart, and the way of diction can even be described in a very different way, but Pang Qinghe is very sure that it is her father's handwriting, so we have to continue to look down.
Come back to this place again, but this time not for those meaningless so-called missions, but for yourself and your family! This is how he began.
It is said that he left the city and followed the path from which we had come into the underground volcano where the Golden Mountains were located, and when he saw that the wealth was more powerful than any country in the world, he had the idea of transporting it away, and then a series of preparations, at first he did it alone, but then he gradually realized that no matter how good he was, some things could not be done. So he returned to Beiping City to find five helpers to come over and achieve a grand life goal together.
Seeing this, I was surprised and said, "Five people? The only objects we guessed before were Pang Sanniang and Boss Wang, who were the other three? ”
But no one answered me, so they just looked down.
But there is little content below, and the text ends with the words of waiting for good news, and when they return to the outside world, their wealth will surely shock the world.
After reading all the papers with words, Pang Qinghe sighed as if helpless, sad, and as if he had loosened some tense nerves, and did not say a word. (To be continued......)
