Chapter 161: The Origin of Divine Jade
After being silent for a long time, I expelled those complicated thoughts from my mind and asked slowly, "Xiaobai, can Shenyu really make people immortal for thousands of years?" Why does it have such magical powers? ”
Xiao Bai replied: "No one knows the true origin of the Divine Jade, even the Divine Jade Bearer Stinky Daoist himself, can't tell. He found the jade in a tomb in the Qinling Mountains, more than a thousand years ago. At first, the stinky Taoist priest didn't know the miraculous effects of the divine jade, but after taking the divine jade, he was surprised to find a certain disease that had plagued him for many years. It slowly got better, and after a few decades, he found that he had no signs of aging at all, and then he discovered the secret of Shenyu. ”
I was stunned and said, "Taiyi Zhenren found the divine jade in the tomb?" Could it be that in the beginning, he was also a tomb robber? ”
Xiaobai smiled: "I don't know about this, but you also guessed this in the previous life." ”
I asked, "Taiyi Zhenren has never traced the origin of the Divine Jade?" ”
"Yes." Xiaobai said, "The stinky Taoist priest once told you in the previous life that he suspected that the origin of the divine jade was related to Qin Shi Huang. Because he had made some discoveries in the tomb where he found the divine jade. More than 2,000 years ago, when Qin Shi Huang felt that his body was in trouble, he sent a fleet of alchemists overseas to seek medicine. The fleet was headed by Xu Fu, but Qin Shi Huang did not wait for the immortal medicine until his death, and finally died with regrets. However, after the research of the stinky Taoist priest, Xu Fu finally found the elixir, and he sent his subordinates to send the elixir back to Middle-earth, but at that time Qin Shi Huang was dead, and the monk did not bring the elixir back to Xu Fu, but kept it himself. ”
"Shenyu is that elixir?"
"The divine jade is transformed after the immortal medicine is solidified. That alchemist wanted to live forever, so he drank the elixir privately. It's just that...... It may be that the immortal medicine is fake, or it is possible that the immortal medicine is not used to drink, and after the alchemist drank the immortal medicine, he died immediately. ”
"Dead? And then? ”
Xu Fu actually sent two groups of monks to come, and the later monks packed up the body of the unlucky monk who died after drinking the immortal medicine and buried him in Qinling. Later, the stinky Taoist priest found the tomb of the unlucky monk, after thousands of years, the bones of the monk had long turned into dust, but in his coffin, where the body was originally placed, a piece of jade appeared. ”
"Divine Jade."
"That divine jade is made of immortal medicine. This is what the stinky Taoist priest told his disciples, but you didn't believe it in the previous life. ”
"What did he say?"
"He said that as soon as there is something immortal, it will be related to Qin Shi Huang, which is too vulgar."
I nodded and said, "It's a bit vulgar." ”
Xiaobai said: "So in the previous life, you had another guess - the divine jade may not be something on the earth, it belongs to the heavens. ”
"Aliens? This speculation is even more vulgar. I shook my head speechlessly, "Where did the Shenyu come from?" ”
Xiao Bai shook his head silently, and only replied after a while: "I don't know, there may be no one in this world who can answer this question - unless you find the ghost of the stinky Taoist priest and ask!" ”
I was also silent for a while, looking at the dim light and asked, "That divine jade...... In this burial chamber? In the sarcophagus of a real person? ”
"No, there is no divine jade in the sarcophagus." Xiaobai picked his eyes, "You want Shenyu?" ”
"It's normal to have a little curiosity, right?" I touched my nose, "If you can let me touch the legendary divine jade, it will be worth dying." ”
Xiao Bai stared at me for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "You should touch that piece of divine jade." The ailments in your body can only be cured by Shenyu! ”
My heart shook and my mind shook the waves.
Xiaobai's words woke up the dreamer. I'm really stupid to go home, Yang found a terminal illness and wanted to find Shenyu to change his life, so if I get Shenyu, can I not die?
My heart was pounding, like a stone hitting the tip of my heart, causing me to tremble.
"Little white...... It's true...... May I? ”
Xiaobai nodded very affirmatively: "Yes." ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Didn't you say that the Divine Jade can make people immortal, Taiyi Zhenren has the Divine Jade, how could he die in the end?" ”
"If a person doesn't want to live, no matter how magical the divine jade is, it can't save his life!"
I asked, "Taiyi Zhenren committed suicide?" ”
"It's not particularly outrageous to say that it was a suicide, because the stinky Taoist priest really didn't want to live anymore, and he untied the divine jade that he had worn for thousands of years. Without the Divine Jade, the body of the stinky Taoist priest aged and aged at a rate of thousands of times. In a sense, this can indeed be called 'suicide'! ”
"Why? Why doesn't Taiyi Zhenren want to live? ”
"I'm not a stinky Taoist, how do I know what he thinks?" Xiao Bai said lightly, "It may be that the stinky Taoist priest has lived too long and is lonely, or it may be that he has a bad brain, anyway, he finally 'committed suicide'." ”
I thought to myself that Xiaobai's explanation was not convincing, but now was not a good time to continue asking, because I suddenly heard a fierce collision roar from under the corridor!
I've checked the stone gate and its vicinity and have not found a way to open it.
"Seems to be in a situation down there?" I listened and spoke.
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Yang Xun opened the sarcophagus. ”
"Yang Xun opened the sarcophagus?" I was startled, "So, that's ...... voice."
Xiaobai said: "It was sent by a puppet." Chen Shen, that puppet is quite a terrifying thing, you have to be careful. ”
I asked strangely, "You know I'm going down?" ”
"I don't know you yet?" Xiaobai sighed, "I'll know just by looking at your demeanor." ”
I said, "I'm not going to save Yang Xun, it's just that this stone door can't be opened, and the switch may be in the tomb below, so I have to go down no matter what!" ”
"Go, go, go." Xiaobai waved his hand, "It's a big deal to fight that puppet again!" ”
I glanced at Xiaobai gratefully and didn't say anything more. Along the corridor illuminated by coal lamps, Xiaobai and I slowly walked towards the underground mausoleum.
The closer you get to the ground, the louder and more intense the sound becomes. The heavy impact sound was mixed with vicious cursing, sounding like Yang Xun's voice.
When I got underground, I stepped on the bluestone bricks, and I saw two black shadows chasing in the vast mausoleum, one large and one small, the small one in front, with a flexible body, it was Yang Xun. The big one chased behind, taller than Yang Xun by a head, covered in pitch black, and could be recognized as a stone man after a closer look, composed of stones of the same size.
The stone man should be the puppet that Xiaobai said, the puppet looks tall and strong, every step is a big step, although its movements are clumsy, but it is better than the broad pace, closely chasing behind Yang Xun, its hand is holding a thick black wooden stick, is smashing Yang Xun at once, Yang Xun ran for his life, the stick hit the bluestone brick on the ground, making a 'bang bang' violent sound!
"Chen Shen! Help me! Yang Xun saw me, his face showed joy, and he shouted at me.
"Who told you to open the sarcophagus?" I gloated and said, "Don't run away, just get away from that puppet!" ”
"You! Yang Xun was angry, and shouted at me while dodging the puppet's attack, "You and my grievances will be put aside first, if I die at the hands of the puppet, you will be next!" You have to think clearly! ”
"I figured it out, you bastard, you should have died a long time ago." I said coldly, "As for my safety, you don't have to worry about it." After speaking, he ignored Yang Xun, who was being hunted down, and walked towards the place where the sarcophagus was with Xiaobai.
"Chen Shen, I think you sometimes ...... It's still pretty handsome! ”
I glanced back at Xiaobai and said of course, "Please put it sometimes...... Remove. ”
Xiaobai smiled, rarely sarcastic at me.
When I got to the edge of the sarcophagus, I saw that the huge sarcophagus top lid had fallen over on the bluestone brick on the side, revealing the black interior of the sarcophagus.
There were two corpses in the sarcophagus, both of which had been decomposed to ashes, and only two skeletons remained. Both skeletons remain largely intact, except for one of the leg bones. I felt a little puzzled and asked, "Xiaobai, Taiyi Zhenren or me in the previous life, is a person with a broken leg?" ”
"Nope." Xiaobai replied.
"And where are his leg bones?" I pointed to the skeleton of the 'broken leg' and muttered, "I just don't know if he is a real person in Taiyi or me in the previous life......"
Just as he was guessing to himself, he suddenly heard Xiaobai's warning voice in his ears: "Be careful!" ”
I don't need Xiaobai to remind me, I have already seen that puppet let go of Yang Xun and is striding towards me!
Yang Xun stood not far away and kept panting, and then gloated at me and laughed.
I said, "What's going on?" ”
Xiaobai replied: "The puppet found us standing by the sarcophagus, thinking that you were going to be unfavorable to the body of the stinky Taoist, and its mission was to protect the body of the stinky Taoist, which is the highest criterion, so ......"
"Then why didn't you say it earlier? ……”
"You didn't ask, I ...... Forgot ......," Xiaobai said without shame. I didn't complain anymore, because the puppet was almost in front of my eyes, I took a deep breath, pulled my legs and ran!
"Boom!" The black wooden stick in the puppet's hand slammed into the sarcophagus behind me, splashing sparks. I felt something strange in my hair, and I touched it with my hand and felt for a piece of black sawdust.
I was about to throw away the sawdust, but at a glance I felt that it was not like ordinary sawdust, and while running and turning around, the puppet just raised the wooden stick in his hand, and under the bright light, I saw the whole appearance of the wooden stick, and I couldn't help but curse secretly - where is the wooden stick? It's clearly a big bone! Thinking of the corpse in the sarcophagus that had lost its leg bones, I finally understood.
It is impossible for a puppet to be disrespectful to the corpse of its master, so the leg bone it holds in its hand can only be removed from me in the previous life!
