Chapter 9 Good intentions
Looking at Qin Zhen's pale face, Jiang Qi, who had not spoken, asked the old man politely: "I take the liberty of asking you, I still feel that something is wrong." You said that the first emperor hid Yuwang Jiuding on his eastern tour, then he should have hidden in the area of Yantai Penglai...... However, the old iron mountain is located on the Liaodong Peninsula and belongs to Dalian, Liaoning. ”
Without the old man answering in person, Qin Zhen turned his head slightly, and said to Jiang Qi stupidly: "Lao Tieshan is facing Penglai, today's Lao Tieshan Lighthouse and Yantai Penglai are completely diagonal. That line is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. If Qin Shi Huang placed his dream on the shore of the Bohai Sea, then there would be nothing wrong with hiding Jiuding at the mouth of Lao Tie Mountain. ”
It can be seen from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that the Qin Emperor's way of acting is more strange and secretive, and it is impossible for him to hide Jiuding in Yantai, where he has stopped three times, because it will be easy to be discovered. So he chose the opposite side across the sea, and it is also the place where the Bohai Sea enters the sea.
Lao Gu tilted his head at this time, and said incomprehensibly: "I wonder, why did the ancients make so many tripods when they had nothing to do?" Is it really for pickles? Are these things really worth it like this? ”
Lao Gu didn't participate in the previous chat, so he didn't know what Jiuding meant to China.
The old man said to Gu Jie at this time: "Child, the major affairs of the country are in worship. For us in the pre-Qin period of China, there was nothing more important than sacrifice and foreign wars. China's heyday of the Bronze Age was the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn periods, and the early Warring States period, which lasted for more than 1,600 years. It was a bronze that represented the most advanced smelting and casting technology at that time. Naturally, it was also mainly used for sacrificial ceremonies and warfare. That Yuwang Jiuding is a combination of the two roles. ”
The more Lao Gu listened, the more confused he became, and asked puzzledly: "What you said is too atmospheric, I can't understand it very well." But that tripod is only used for sacrifice. To say that it can be used in war...... That's a bit of a nonsense with your eyes open, isn't it? If another group of devils come to invade, can you use those nine tripods to smash them to death? ”
Lao Gu is talking about the most intuitive and simple idea, just like his way of thinking, it is always so single-celled.
However, Qin Zhen understands very well that if there are ancient mountains and sea charts on the nine tripods, then these nine tripods are not only warlike. It could even become a cause for war.
I think when my stepmother Wu Ding was first discovered. How many people protected with their lives and hid several times so that they were not robbed by the Japanese. Compared with the stepmother Wuding, this Yuwang Jiuding is more mysterious and has a higher ingredient of bizarre and mysterious. Those small countries adjacent to China's waters will inevitably not think about Jiuding.
These are the questions they will need to face in the future. Now I have a rough understanding of the basic information from the old man. The rest. Just stay on this road and explore as you go.
Qin Zhen rubbed his hands. He took a deep breath and asked the old man, "Old man, since you have explained everything clearly, when will we leave?" Do you want to wait for Yebei's body ......?"
"Yebei won't go with you." The old man didn't wait for Qin Zhen to finish speaking. answered him directly.
"Huh?!" Qin Zhen subconsciously exclaimed. Because in his consciousness, this matter has a lot to do with Yebei, how could he not be there?
The old man sighed slightly and said, "He is not in danger now, but he still can't wake up." needed further recuperation, but Jiuding couldn't wait for him for so long. ”
Qin Zhen nodded understandingly, feeling that at this juncture, it was better to stay in the north at night to recuperate! What kind of terrible place is the poor mountains and bad water ahead, it is not easy for him to pick up a life just now, don't look back, the medicine has not been broken, and he sent his life back. That's more than worth the loss......
Yudong is right, he would rather live and leave than die. Nothing is more important than life.
Lao Gu looked at Qin Zhen's somewhat stunned look, so he took a sentence and said: "The night boss is responsible for taking care of the house on the mountain, his body is not good yet, and it is too cruel to let him go up the mountain and down the sea." Don't we still have Brother Jun and Dong Shao! I didn't leave you alone! What are you doing with that crying face! Lao Gu scolded Qin Zhen.
Without waiting for Qin Zhen to react, the old man immediately answered: "Juntian can't go either." ”
"Huh??" This time, it was Lao Gu who expressed surprise.
But the old man shook his head helplessly and said, "Hehe, turbulence, probably refers to the current situation." Fu Tianlei was buried in Shangri-La, Yebei was unconscious, Yudong went to find Yu Wangding, if Juntian also went with you, many situations would be completely messed up......"
Qin Zhen and Lao Gu couldn't help but lower their heads after hearing this. I don't know where Yudong's master is now? The nine people who guarded Kyushu now have to rely on Juntian to carry the mysterious burden alone. When you think about the evolution of this, I wonder if it is still to blame for power, greed, and lust/desire.
After listening to the old man's words, Qin Zhen felt even more uneasy. If there was no order from the military to forcibly detain them, Yudong would definitely have tried his best to get rid of them. In that case...... Isn't he the only one left? He wants to break into the abyss of the Bohai Sea alone?
Really......
Qin Zhen couldn't help but start to get angry when he thought about it, he really didn't understand why they had lived and died together until now, and they still couldn't change the temper of that lonely hero!
Lao Gu looked at Qin Zhen's puffing appearance, and eight out of ten guessed why he was angry. He glanced at Jiang Qi, didn't say anything more, and asked the old man directly: "Old man, when will we leave?" Isn't it for us to see Dongshao first? ”
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen still looked angry, and when he heard Lao Gu say that he wanted to see Yudong, he rolled his eyes and looked out the window. That thing's damn character is really infuriating.
Seeing that Qin Zhen didn't speak, the old man greeted the guard at the door, and waved his hand as if he had made his meaning clear.
After a while, the door opened, and Yudong walked in.
Seeing Lao Gu and Jiang Qi, who were already sitting on the bed, Yu Dong immediately understood how things were developing. Presumably they already knew it all, and things must have been reversed.
Yu Dong walked up to the old man silently, lowered his eyebrows, expressionless and silent. Apparently he was very unhappy with such an outcome.
The old man snorted angrily, and then asked in a deep voice, "Why, you lied to me, and you are still reasonable?" You know that these things are important, but you lie about such things. I don't care about not punishing you, why do you still seem to be unhappy? No wonder people call you icebergs! ”
The old man's expression and tone were completely as if he was reprimanding a child who was deeply doted on by him. The words that seem to rebuke all reveal tolerance and concession.
But Yu Dong still lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Qin Zhen couldn't look at it a little from the side. The heart said that this is just the old man's good temper, and he has already been anxious to change the two! With Yudong's temperament, he is cold, will not coax people, and will not please people, it is really difficult to imagine how he grew up in the environment where nine children grew up. You don't need to look to know that Yi'er is the least / favored / the one!
Originally, Qin Zhen was going to persuade him to say a few soft words to the old man. Unexpectedly, Yu Dong suddenly raised his head slowly, looked at the old man coldly and asked, "Do you know what the price of looking for Jiuding last time was?" ”
The old man's face sank and he did not speak.
"Do you know how many people died the last time you looked for Jiuding?" Yudong's tone intensified, but the old man still didn't speak.
"We're just that, with a mission, even though we are still glorious in death. But they're different, they're just ordinary people! How can you implicate them for the sake of those so-called secrets?! ”
"Enough!" The old man slapped the coffee table and stood up, and his majestic appearance appeared again. He scolded angrily with a cold face: "Xia Yudong! Do you know who you're talking to! ”
Yu Dong looked away angrily, and his sword eyebrows were furrowed.
The old man looked at Yu Dong's appearance, sighed helplessly and said, "Why don't you understand the truth that even Qin Zhen can understand?" ”
"If the person who is going to Bohai today is not me, do you think he can still understand you?" Yu Dong raised his eyes coldly and said to the old man.
These words made Qin Zhen embarrassed for a while. Just now, he was obviously a young man who understood righteousness, but at this moment, he was beaten by Yudong with a word and became a person with no consciousness.
In order to avoid Yu Dong and the old man from getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, Qin Zhen hurriedly pulled Yu Dong away and said, "Hey, you're not done yet, are you?" How old is the old man, how can you speak in such a tone? I tell you, I already made a statement to the old man just now. Even without their orders, I wouldn't have left. No matter whether there is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire on the road ahead, I will accompany you down. So you don't have to blame anyone for this, if you want to blame me. Qin Zhen said to Yu Dong very seriously.
Yu Donggang frowned and glanced at Qin Zhen, and Lao Gu shouted behind him: "Dong Shao! And our brothers. If you think it was a mistake to follow you to the pickle jar, then you blame us. Qin Zhen is right, we can't just leave! You said you really wanted to go to that hellish place alone? Do you think we are brothers? ”
Yu Dong closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate, and sighed deeply.
It is precisely because he feels that it is rare to make friends like them, so Yudong will cherish it even more. He did not hesitate to lie to the military just to protect them. However, this seems impossible now...... Qin Zhen and the others even knew about Jiuding, it was absolutely impossible to leave as if nothing happened. (To be continued......)
