"Are these people from the Ming Dynasty who were buried at the foot of the mountain after we dug up from the cemetery after we went to the island?" I couldn't hold back, and interrupted Mai Lao's words.

He squinted at me, "That's right, these are the people. ”

"So what's going on? Will they all die? And those Qing soldiers, what is going on? I asked again.

Mai Lao pondered for a moment, "The cause of one qiē was when Zheng He returned to the island for the second time."

From that day on, these people who stayed on the island became residents here, and Zheng He left Mai Lao and Taoist priests here in order to manage these people, saying that they were asked to take care of these people, but in fact, he was afraid that they would leak the news, but the person he wanted to guard against the most was still Mai Lao.

Let the Taoist priest stay here, just to restrain Mai Lao, everyone can see that this is an absolute house arrest, and it can even be said to be a kind of torture, Mai Lao and the Taoist priest will never leave this small island, that is, from that day on, Mai Lao hated Zheng He to the core, and he swore that he would leave this ghost place one day.

Mai Lao and the Taoist priest lived on the island for a few years, and in the past few years, Mai Lao discovered an unknown secret, that is, the ginseng fruit that can live forever, in fact, the first person to find the ginseng fruit was Mai Lao, but he was very scheming at the time, and did not mention this matter to anyone, but secretly ate these magical fruits, but he didn't know that this thing could live forever, and he was just eating it as a mountain fruit.

But it didn't take long for the Taoist priest to find this fruit, Mai Lao overheard it from his mouth, and he learned that this thing has such a magical effect, it can actually make people immortal, from that day on, he insisted on eating ginseng fruit every day, and came to explore the mystery of this immortal person, so as to cultivate his own skills.

And the Taoist priest, he didn't know that Mai Lao would know this qiē better than him, he always thought that only he knew the secret of ginseng fruit on this island, but he underestimated Mai Lao's strength too much, since he went to the island, Mai Lao was crazy on the surface, and he looked sluggish, but he was calmer than anyone else, he was waiting, waiting for the best time to leave this small island

A few years later, Zheng He landed on the island for the second time, this is his sixth time to go to sea, at this time the island, is already very suitable for people to live, after several years of construction, the residents of the island have fallen in love with here, they like to live a carefree life here, and some residents have their own children, as if this island, is another country, there is no money and power here, everyone is equal, full of happiness and serenity.

Zheng He saw that they were living so comfortably, and he was somewhat relieved in his heart, after all, he forced these people to stay, and he was originally worried that they would die here, but now that they are well, they are happier than the people on the mainland.

And this time Zheng He came to the island, there is an important matter to discuss with the Taoist priest, that night, Zheng He opened Mai Lao, and the Taoist priest entered the house to discuss things, but Mai Lao can be so peaceful and let him dominate, he turned a circle, and secretly lurked back, although there are guards around, but it still does not affect Mai Lao's hearing, he found that since he ate the ginseng fruit, as if he had a tailwind ear, dozens of meters away, you can hear the voice of others.

"What do you say? Can you hear someone talking from dozens of meters away? My face changed and became ugly, "So let's talk about our previous conversation on the boat."

"I know everything, I can hear every word you and Jiao Ba say clearly, as long as I want to hear it, I will definitely be able to hear it, so your every move is within my control." Mai Lao smiled proudly, he looked at me with a look in his eyes, as if to say, you are all playing pediatric tricks, don't play in front of me, it is completely a mocking face.

Jiao Ba and I glanced at each other, the two of us were almost covered with sweat on our foreheads, no wonder this old guy knows everything, he can hear our conversation, this time I'm a little confused, this damn monster, how capable is he? This immortal person is really terrifying.

"And what about later?" I steadied my nervous feelings, barely calming myself down.

Mai Lao took two steps forward, turned his back to us, and said, "Later, I heard a most important secret"

That night, Zheng He had two things to discuss with the Taoist priest, the first thing was that he planned to build his own mausoleum here, because at that time he knew that Zhu Di's body was not as good as day by day, and he had no years to live, he planned to bury himself here after Zhu Di's death, not only because he liked this island, but most importantly, after he buried himself here, no one could find his mausoleum, since ancient times, tomb robbery was rampant, in order to avoid the theft of his own mausoleum, this island was his best choice, At the same time, he can also guard his secrets.

And this secret, is about Emperor Jianwen, that night, he and the Taoist priest, two people, personally drew two nautical charts, one for Zheng He's descendants, one is intended to be buried in his own mausoleum, Zheng He is to let his descendants, to find this heirloom and the bi, his idea is very simple, rather than let this treasure disappear, it is better to leave it to future generations to explore, no matter whether it can be found in the end, he has to leave some precious things to his descendants, and this nautical chart is the best.

At that time, Mai Lao heard this qiē outside, and the ambition hidden in his heart sprouted again, he was determined to get He's Bi, and to unlock the secret of He's Bi, he wanted to summon divine soldiers to dominate the land, for this immortal man, this seemed to be no difficulty, after all, his time was unlimited.

After Zheng He left, the residents of the island began to build a mausoleum for Zheng He, which was built for nearly ten years, until Zheng He's last time at sea, his mausoleum was completely completed, Yongle Emperor had been sleeping for many years at this time, the emperor at that time was Xuande, Zheng He went to sea this time, he did not plan to return to Beijing, he sent someone to let him disappear, and said that he died at sea, and in fact, he himself had returned to that beautiful island.

At this time, although Zheng He is old, but his health is not bad, it stands to reason that he can live a few more years, but after going to the island, Zheng He died within two years, this is not a providence, nor is it a lifespan, this qiē is all artificial, and the person who let Zheng He die is Mai Lao.

Mai Lao gave Zheng He a chronic poison, this poison is a variety of mountain grasses he found on the island, if Zheng He is directly poisoned, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Taoist priest, then the best way is to let him die slowly, as if it is a serious illness, and after a long time, the life of the person will be tossed away.

Maybe Zheng He didn't know until he died, he would die in the hands of Mai Lao, and he couldn't believe that his subordinates, his henchmen, would actually plot against him, even if he saw that Mai Lao was ambitious, he must have thought that after being trapped on the island for so many years, even if he was ambitious, he would have been wiped out a long time ago, but he forgot that a person's nature cannot be changed, Mai Lao will only become more serious, and there will definitely be no repentance.

After Zheng He died, he was buried in the mausoleum built for him, the Taoist priest laid a magic circle for Zheng He's mausoleum, and also raised a lizard, and used his powerful mana to block the entire mausoleum, so that outsiders could not get close to the mausoleum in this mountain, in fact, even if they entered the ancient tomb, it was basically nine deaths, there were many organs inside, and there were evil spirits guarding them, ordinary people, they couldn't come out alive at all.

The qiē we encountered later in the interior was also done by the Taoist priest's array, which was our luck, and there was a monster like Mai Lao at that time, plus the strength of each of us was not bad, so we barely rushed out of the ancient tomb, this is still the island that we left only after relying on the guidance of the Taoist priest, otherwise, we would still die inside.

And not long after Zheng He's death, Mai Lao also died suddenly, and the residents of the island, next to Zheng He's main tomb, built a mausoleum for Mai Lao, and buried his coffin and 'corpse' here, which was the first cave tomb that Jenny and I found at that time, but Mai Lao did not die at all.

He did this completely to hide people's ears, even the Taoist priest didn't know, just when everyone thought he was dead, in fact, he had quietly left this small island, and when Zheng He came for the last time, he left a small boat, and he used this small boat to cross the ocean and return to the Central Plains.

This is why when the Taoist priest later faked his death, he found that Liu Qian's coffin was empty and the body was gone, in fact, at that time, Mai Lao had already gone away, so when I asked the Taoist old man, he would say that Mai Lao had disappeared, because he couldn't be sure whether Mai Lao was dead or not.

Mai Lao drifted on the boat for a long time before returning to land, this road is actually not smooth, the boat is easy to capsize at sea, several times almost overturned by the waves, but fortunately he has survived tenaciously, and the only thing he is fortunate about is that he did not encounter a storm at sea, if he encounters this kind of weather, even if he has an immortal body, in the end he will have to be buried at the bottom of the sea.

Mai Lao went through several twists and turns, before returning to the Central Plains, from that day, he hid in the deep mountains and old forests, lived a life of incognito, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zhicheng called the emperor, he came out of the mountains, in his words, the Ming Dynasty fell, no one knew his details, he waited for this day to come, has been waiting for hundreds of years.
