Chapter 24: The Big Deal
"During the Qin Dynasty? Isn't that more than 2,000 years old? ”
"Yes, but anyone who is involved in this industry knows a little bit, the tombs of these dynasties in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are rare and are just some cheesy jade jewelry. A little older, that's when treasures really began to appear. It is common sense that the further the dynasty retreats, the more precious the burial goods in the tomb will be. But there's something special here. That is the Qin Dynasty, the artifact of the Warring States Ancient Tomb, you should have heard of it somewhat. So why is the tomb of the Qin Dynasty even more rare than the tomb of the Warring States? ”
"The reason is that the first emperor Yingzheng is a person, history only records that after the first emperor unified the six countries, he sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea in search of immortal medicine in order to seek immortality. But there is no record, in fact, as early as soon after Yingzheng ascended the throne and became the first emperor, a very special department was soon established in the court, the existence of this department was unknown, directly under the first emperor, and the actions were only responsible to the first emperor. There are all kinds of people in the department, never go to court, they can't see their figures during the day, often a team of people go out of the palace gate at night, and the next time they come back, they must enter the palace late at night, and the strange thing is that no matter how late they return to the palace, Qin Shi Huang will definitely meet them in person. ”
"When the old man was young, he studied a lot of wild history materials in this area, and guessed that it should be the best of ten, and that mysterious department is the prototype of the first generation of official tomb robbers. In fact, Qin Shi Huang didn't have much hope for Xu Fu and others at all, and the fact that there was an elixir overseas was just an ethereal legend, and the reason why Xu Fu and his party were sent to sea was understandable on the one hand, although Qin Shi Huang didn't believe it very much, but it was also a bit of a fluke after all, and the second was to play a role in covering people's ears. ”
Since then, those mysterious officials and thieves have traveled all over the country, digging ancient tombs of various scales, countless of them, and all the things obtained from the ancient tombs have been transported to Xianyang. Whether Qin Shi Huang found the art of immortality in it is also completely unknown. ”
"However, relatively speaking, after the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than 500 years, the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, and the things stolen by this official thief department in those countless Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, or even earlier, as long as there is such a thing that really exists in the tomb in the southwest corner, all the people in the entire Changsha City will definitely fight to the death. What's more, there is a certain probability of getting a clue to the art of immortality. With such a huge temptation, who can resist it without falling. ”
"Sir, after all that, I still don't quite understand what you want a few of us to do?" I heard it in a fog, although the old man said it was very interesting, what immortality and so on, but what does it have to do with us.
"Young people, don't be so impatient. That's not to the point. Speaking of the big tomb, it was discovered three years ago, but because people from all walks of life are staring at it, plus the old man is peacekeeping in it, fortunately, no one has dared to dig it without permission. Its current role is like a hot potato, and whoever gets it will be unlucky. But since the beginning of this year, there have been more and more people in Changsha City who have never seen all kinds of old men. It seems that those people still can't hold back after all, and they want to force their hands. ”
"The old man said before that in this Changsha City, there has always been a hostile force that is about to pull out the thorn of the old man, but he has been suffering from no chance. If this tomb is opened this time, and there are really immeasurable treasures inside, the old man's delay in the past three years will definitely make the old man the target of public criticism. At that time, that force will definitely seize the opportunity to eradicate the old man in one go. So it's a matter of life and death. ”
The big man nodded, and a few of us finally understood what the old man meant by big deals.
"Sir, when did you expect a few of us to secretly empty that tomb?" The big head said and pointed to everyone.
Damn, what a joke. This old man really thinks we're grave robbers. Did Gu Cang just introduce him to him? It's big now, and with the kung fu of our three-legged cats, won't we have to finish playing in minutes when we enter the tomb.
"Sir, do you understand it wrong, we are not tomb robbers, we have never robbed tombs at all. Wouldn't it be a big joke for you to let us go to that tomb and pour something? I opened my mouth and tried to explain to the old man.
The old man smiled, "The old man knows that you are not tomb robbers, but it doesn't matter, a team like yours will not have much difficulty entering such a tomb, you have to believe in your own ability." ”
A few days later, when we were really in the cemetery where we couldn't see our fingers, we deeply regretted it, "This dead old man, this is called no danger?" If you have the opportunity to go out, you have to peel off his skin. ”
"Old man, why do you say that, as far as I know, there must be a lot of organs in the big tomb, so there won't be much difficulty." The big head asked suspiciously.
The old man stroked his beard, "The old man has not made any progress in the past three years, at least he has discovered a few facts, first of all, the owner of this cemetery is Ma Yin, the founding monarch of the Southern Chu State during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In those days, technical capabilities were limited, which was enough to ensure that there would be no complicated mechanisms in the cemetery. Secondly, the old man has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he has already secretly opened an underground passage that stretches for dozens of miles, which can reach the wall of the cemetery, all you have to do is to find a way to break through the wall, enter inside, and then smoothly take out all the burial goods in the tomb. ”
It's as simple as that?
"Sir, will you go down with us?"
"Old man? The old man is still needed to calm down the scene, but I will send two of my men to follow you and call them as much as you want. ”
I guessed that this old fox would not go in person, but at his age, if he really entered with us, there were three long and two short, with his influence, I am afraid that we would not even be able to get out of this Changsha City.
Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and there's no need to worry about it like this.
"When is the old gentleman going to start?"
"Tomorrow night!"
"So fast, but we haven't prepared anything yet."
"You don't have to worry about this, in this Changsha City, as long as you need something, the old man can give it all in one day, and you will discuss it later, what equipment you need to buy, and make a list for the old man, so that he can order his subordinates to buy." After speaking, the old man got up, "Then that's it for today, it's better not to go out, there are many empty rooms upstairs, you can choose to live by yourself." ”
"Thank you, sir."
After the old man left and didn't know where he went, the fat man stretched his waist.
"Haha, it looks like we're going to play the role of a tomb robber!"
