Chapter 411: The Origin of the Secret Treasure
"The old man Guanlu gang leader is also from a rich and noble family, I don't know if he has ever read?"
After negotiating the conditions, the two sat down, and Master Yi opened his mouth with such a seemingly inconsequential question.
Lu Hanjiang leaned back slightly, and smiled slightly: "Naturally, I have read it, although my son is now engaged in the rivers and lakes, he is not a reckless man who does not learn and has no skills, Master Yi is what he wants to say." β
"That's good," Master Yi nodded slightly, brushed his beard and said: "That is the case, then I don't know if the Lu Gang Master has read the historical records, there is a record in the first emperor's book, in the twenty-eighth year of the emperor, Qi people Xu Shi and others were on the book, and there are three divine mountains in the sea of wordsββ"
"Penglai, Abbot, Yingzhou," Lu Hanjiang blurted out the names of the three legendary mountains, and said impatiently: "If Master Yi wants to tell the story of Qin Shi Huang's quest for immortal medicine, then it is not necessary, this son has long known." β
Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have pursued immortality, but if you want to say that the most famous of them is the first emperor who asked for immortal medicine, not only sent Fang Shi to the sea to find immortal mountains, but also built a large boat, and recruited thousands of boys and girls to accompany him, which is the most powerful in the past and present.
To this day, the minister wrote to admonish the emperor, and often told the story of the first emperor seeking immortals.
"Gang Master Lu is really knowledgeable," Master Yi was not annoyed by Lu Hanjiang's attitude, but asked calmly, "Then do you know what happened to that Fang Shi?" β
"Either sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, or escape to which island to avoid the scourge of killing," Lu Hanjiang became interested, and couldn't help asking: "What, Master Yi seems to have other ideas?" β
Xu City - that is, Xu Fu, about his whereabouts, since ancient times, there are different opinions, the records in the historical records are limited, and the Later Han Book of the Three Kingdoms also mentions it slightly, some say that it is to Lanzhou, some say that it is to Yizhou, in short, it is not back.
In the pre-Qin period, Fang Shi was popular, Xu Fu was the most famous of them, his stories have always been very popular, as a powerful person who dared to fool the emperor through the ages, Lu Hanjiang also admired him.
"Can Gang Leader Lu believe that there are immortal mountains overseas?" Master Yi asked pointedly.
"I don't believe it." Lu Hanjiang replied quickly without a trace of hesitation.
Master Yi's eyes opened and closed, and he kept looking at Lu Hanjiang, and said for a long time: "Gang Master Lu is right, there are indeed no immortal mountains overseas, and Xu Fu went to sea for a long time without success, so he had to lie to deceive His Majesty the Emperor, but he knew that this plan would not last long, and when the first emperor's patience ran out, it would be his death." β
As he spoke, Master Yi's voice paused slightly, glanced at Lu Hanjiang, and continued: "At this moment, a person gave Xu Fu an idea, asking him to go to sea in sheep, but in fact, he stole the sky, so Xu Fu said to the emperor that the overseas immortal mountain has been found, but there are immortals living on the immortal mountain, and the boys and girls who need gold and silver treasures to worship can obtain the law of immortality, and the first emperor believed it, so he found him three thousand boys and girls, plus countless goods. β
Speaking of this, Master Yi let out a hoarse laugh again, and he said: "When Xu Fu went to sea again, he did not go east, but went all the way south, and he took all the goods and virgins given to him by the emperor for himself, and then disappeared. β
Lu Hanjiang's reaction was very calm, and he said: "The ending of this legend that Master Yi said is not unexpected, so what does this have to do with the Huo family's heirloom?" β
"Of course, the first thing to tell the Lu gang leader is that the story that the old man just told is not a simple legend."
Master Yi's eyes suddenly burst with a fine light, and he slowly got up, it was hard to imagine that an old man with broken hands and lame legs and white hair would have such bright eyes.
I only heard him say in a deep and powerful voice: "What Xu Fu took away back then was the treasure of the real rich and rival country, and among the treasures that the First Emperor handed over to her to offer to the immortals, in addition to gold and jewelry, there are countless treasures, and all kinds of rare things obtained by the First Emperor in attacking the Six Kingdoms, seven or eight out of ten are among them. β
Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sat up straight: "Master Yi, don't you tell me that the heirloom of the Huo family is the treasure left by Xu Fu in the legend?" β
"Of course not," Master Yi said with a sarcastic smile, "If the Huo family holds such a terrifying treasure in their hands, how can they live in peace until today." β
Lu Hanjiang thought about it, so he returned to his lazy appearance, leaned back in his chair, and said loudly: "In this case, Master Yi is here to tell this old-fashioned story to my son, and what is it for." β
"The Lu gang leader is in a hurry."
Master Yi smiled, but still said the follow-up of the story to himself: "A thousand years ago, Xu Fu took away this monstrous wealth, avoided the deep mountains, raised three thousand boys and girls, drove them as slaves, and built a huge palace for himself to enjoy, and after half his life, before he died, he blocked the gate of the palace and let everyone accompany him to the funeral, trying to continue to enjoy it underground. β
Lu Hanjiang sighed twice: "It sounds like some kind of tyrant's story." β
Master Yi was noncommittal and continued: "The First Emperor is dead, the Qin State is also destroyed, and now Xu Fu is dead, and the three thousand boys and girls are buried together, no one will pay attention to their stories anymore, but there is a person who knows everything is still alive, and that is the person who gave Xu Fu this idea in the first place." β
Lu Hanjiang touched his chin: "It seems that you said that there is such a person, so what did he do?" Dig up Xu Fu's treasure again? β
Master Yi shook his head slightly: "That person didn't do anything, just recorded the location where Xu Fu buried the treasure, and then handed it over to a family, so that they could keep this secret and pass it on from generation to generation until the day when God intended to let it reappear." β
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, he had almost heard this routine twice, and the next thing was the familiar operation, so he asked directly: "Then what you want to say is that the surname of this family back then was Huo, yes or no?" β
β...... Hehe. β
Master Yi smiled weirdly, he stared at Lu Hanjiang with two eyes, and said word by word: "No, that family's surname is Zhong." β
Lu Hanjiang was slightly stunned, and then listened to Master Na Yi add meaningfully: "It's Zhong Wumeng's bell." β
"Hongchenke, Zhong Wumeng...... It's him. β
This made Lu Hanjiang unexpected, he looked at Master Yi and asked with interest: "Since this is the story of the Zhong family, what role does the Huo family play in this?" β
Master Yi lowered his eyes, his eyes were a little reminiscing, and he said: "A hundred years ago, the Zhuang host of Sword Casting Villa saved a person from the Zhong family by chance, and they were like-minded, so they swore together as brothers, and learned this great secret from the person of the Zhong family...... The head of the Huo family killed the Zhong family brothers, snatched the map that recorded the buried treasures, and slaughtered the Zhong family. β
"Tsk, in this way, this Huo family is indeed not a good thing, and he Huo Tianya is not an insult to the reputation of the ancestors," Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "It's just that the grass has not been eradicated, and Zhong Wumeng's vein has survived." β
Master Yi closed his eyes and said, "Although Zhong Wumeng survived, he has nowhere to know the secret of the year, even if he also learned a few words from his father and ancestors...... No, I'm afraid his father's generation also didn't know much, otherwise he wouldn't have let him come to the door with that fake drawing to ask for a sword. β
"Drawings? Wait, what's fake? Lu Hanjiang was stunned.
With a plausible chuckle, Master Yi's eyes opened slightly, and he said: "If you want to find Xu Fu's treasure, in addition to the map that describes the location, you also need three keys to open the door to the treasure, and the original form of these three keys is three special blades, and the drawings for casting them are also one of the secrets kept in the hands of the Zhong family." β
