Chapter Ninety-Six: The Profound Second Sun

At night, Ye Feng and his entourage came to Yizhuang again.

Originally, I thought that Zhang Fatzi had just woken up and wanted to let him rest more, so Ye Feng was originally going to come with Tang Da, but since Zhang Fatzi had woken up, how could he be idle?

However, judging from the situation of Zhang Fatzi along the way, his steps were light and energetic, and he did seem to be recovering well, and this time the poisoning coma did not leave any effect on him, and Ye Feng was relieved.

Walking into the gate of Yizhuang, I saw a bonfire burning in the grassy courtyard from a distance, and there were two figures sitting next to the fire, one was the old Li Tou who was in charge of guarding Yizhuang, and the other was the second grandson of the old Sun family in Guanzhong.

recalled that when Ye Feng and the others first arrived in Yizhuang a few days ago, Lao Li Tou saw Sun Lao Er appear in front of him at first glance, thinking that it was a ghost, and he was so frightened that he fainted.

Now it seems that the two old men have become acquainted with each other in the past two days.

A fresh hare was clearly roasted over the campfire, crackling and steaming, and two old men sat together, each with a broken bowl, and it seemed that they were drinking.

A gust of evening breeze blows, and the aroma of wine and meat overflows, making people salivate.

Ye Feng remembered the situation when Lao Li Tou was frightened before, and couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement.

When they approached, Lao Li squinted his slightly drunken eyes and looked carefully for a while, and said to Sun Lao Er: "The person looking for you is here again." ”

Sun Lao Er nodded, lowered his head and gnawed on a rabbit leg in his hand, without raising his head.

Ye Feng walked over and bowed deeply to Sun Lao Er, and said, "Senior, we are here again." ”

Only then did Sun Lao Er raise his head and smile at them: "I have already heard about what happened in the city, and I heard that you have found a cure for the plague, and you can save all the people from fire and water, which is really immeasurable, and I am gratifying!"

Ye Feng smiled, turned his head to look at Lao Li Tou sitting on the side, and didn't know how to answer.

In front of Lao Li Tou, he couldn't mention that this plague was deliberately caused by someone spreading Gu poison, what Five Poisons Sect Lan Pozi, what Xuanyuan Gongzi Ten Palaces Yama, these are like Arabian Nights for an ordinary person like Lao Li Tou who guards Yizhuang.

Lao Li Tou was also interested, looking at Ye Feng's expression, he knew that they had something to talk about, and it was not convenient to keep it by himself, so he lowered his head and took a sip of the wine in the bowl, wiped his unkempt beard moistened by the wine, and said with a long breath: "My old man is a little too strong to drink, and he wants to go back to sleep in my coffin, you better talk slowly by yourself!"

After speaking, he stood up, swayed his body and slowly walked towards the room full of coffins.

Sun Lao Er didn't stop him, he just smiled and watched Lao Li's figure slowly disappear, then turned his head to Ye Feng and said, "Sit!"

So Ye Feng and the three of them sat on the ground around the fire.

Sun Lao Er pointed to the hare roasting on the fire and said to Ye Feng and them: "Eat!"

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head.

They had just had dinner before eating, and with things on their minds, they really didn't have much appetite.

Zhang Fat Man on the side can't take care of so much, when he came in just now, he smelled the aroma of barbecue, he had already moved his index finger, salivating, at this moment since Sun Lao Er spoke, he was no longer polite, directly tore off one of the hare's thighs, and bit down, only to feel crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and oil flowed along the corners of his mouth.

Sun Lao Er didn't care either, grabbed a disgraceful gourd beside him, threw it at Ye Feng, and said, "Drink!"

The gourd stopper was opened, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

Ye Feng took a sip, only to feel extremely sweet, full of fragrance, a stream of heat down his throat straight into the stomach, in this somewhat chilly winter night, his body also felt warm, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"

While chewing rabbit meat, Zhang Fat took the gourd, took a big sip of it, and said in a loud voice: "Good wine, good wine!"

Because of the epidemic in the city, except for the grain store, the winery has long been closed, and the people in this wilderness don't know where Sun Lao Er got such a good wine, it seems that he is really a very methodical person.

Sun Lao Er looked at Ye Feng and them, there was already a smile in his eyes, and said, "Anyway, how did you quell the plague in this city?"

So Ye Feng slowly told Sun Lao Er everything that had happened in Xi'an City these days.

Hearing that this plague was actually caused by the spread of Gu poison by the Lan Pozi of the Five Poison Sect, and this Lan Pozi was also one of the five senses king of Xuanyuan Gongzi under the Yama Realm, Sun Lao Er couldn't help but snort hatefully: "It's this Xuanyuan Gongzi again!"

In order to visit the tomb of Emperor Qin this time, the Sun family he brought were all the best among the younger generation, and they were the elite of the old Sun family, but they were all infected with the plague, and they were damaged in the city of Xi'an before they went to the tomb, how could he not feel resentful?

Ye Feng wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only bow his head and be silent with him.

After a while, Sun Lao Er opened his mouth and asked, "Now that the plague in the city has ended, what are Ye Gongzi's plans next?"

Ye Feng thought for a while before replying: "Naturally, it is to continue the purpose of our previous visit to Xi'an City, and go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to find out." It's just that the few people brought by the predecessors have all been damaged now, will there be some understaff?"

Sun Lao Er rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't I still there? With me here, am I not as good as those juniors? Ye Gongzi can't believe in old age?"

Ye Feng hurriedly waved his hand again and again, indicating that he had no such intention.

Zhang Fatzi on the side was greedily chewing the rabbit meat in his mouth, and muttered: "Fourth, you don't know, this Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has been stolen from ancient times to the present, and it has been stolen dozens of times, large and small, not a hundred, but dozens of times, it can be said that the thieves are all over the place, and there are thousands of holes, in fact, this has also saved us a lot of trouble." It's just that it's impossible to know how much of it is left. ”

Zhang Fatzi wanted to come to read widely and knew a lot, so Ye Feng naturally believed what he said.

In this way, it doesn't have to spend too much effort digging a thief hole to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and it really doesn't need too many manpower.

Listening to Zhang Fatzi's words, Sun Lao Er couldn't help but glance at him with slanted eyes, and his expression seemed to be quite disdainful: "According to what you said, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum should have been stolen a long time ago, so we don't have to go again?"

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't want to be soft, and said stiffly: "This is the case in historical records. It is recorded in the Han Book that in the Han Dynasty, a child who was herding sheep strayed into the underground palace of the imperial tomb and accidentally caused a fire, which lasted for 90 days without extinguishing. ”

Sun Lao Er didn't refute, but asked, "What else?"

Zhang Fatzi continued: "When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Red Mei Army raised troops, and also secretly dug up the imperial tomb, stole the tools and copper coffins in it, and melted the weapons to replenish military funds. ”

"There was also the Wei and Jin dynasties, and Later Zhao Shihu also stole and excavated the tomb of the Qin Emperor, and even took away the copper pillars in the mausoleum. In the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao invaded Guanzhong, and also dug up tombs and robbed tombs on the tomb of the Qin Emperor, and gained a lot. ”

It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that the imperial court began to strictly protect the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and then the large-scale tomb robbery did not happen again, but some small fights and theft of the people still happened repeatedly. ”

The more Zhang Fatzi spoke, the more confident he became, and his voice gradually became louder: "You said, after this."

With so much theft and excavation, how many things can be left in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?"

Sun Lao Er was not angry, took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "Zhang Shizi is really well-read, and what you said is not wrong at all." For more than 1,000 years, in all dynasties, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has indeed been looted many times and has undergone disasters, but Zhang Shizi still remembers the history of the construction of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?

Zhang Fatzi was stunned when he heard this.

Sun Lao Er said lightly: "Since the first emperor ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, he began to prepare to build the imperial mausoleum. In the records, the person who designed the imperial mausoleum was the prime minister Li Si, and the general Zhang Han was in charge of supervising the work, mobilizing nearly 800,000 laborers before and after, which was almost the strength of the whole country at that time. ”

The construction of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum took 40 years, until the death of the first emperor, the world was in chaos, and the righteous army hit near Xianyang. A mausoleum that has been built by 800,000 people for 40 years and has not been completed, what kind of scale is this?"

"Also, after the first emperor unified the six countries, he collected the soldiers of the world, smelted and cast them into twelve gold figures, about three zhang high, and stood in front of the Afang Palace, which is said to be to prevent rebellion in the world. It is also called a bell in the history books of the Jin people, because they are all hollow. ”

"Casting twelve hollow bronze figures, it is necessary to collect the soldiers of the world? This is obviously unreasonable. It is said that later, Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty rebelled and used all the bronze figures to mint coins, which shows that there are not many in fact. So where did the excess gold and bronze go except for the bronze casters? Naturally, all of them were used for the construction of the imperial tomb. ”

He raised his eyes to look at Zhang Fatzi and asked, "Do you think that an imperial mausoleum that has been built by 800,000 people for 40 years with the strength of 800,000 people can easily steal it all with some thieves and soldiers?"

"It has been recorded in the historical materials that the Qin Emperor's mausoleum used gold and silver as hills, gems as stars, and mercury as rivers, lakes and seas, such a huge wealth, if they could really get it, why didn't the previous history books record it?"

Zhang Fatzi was silent.

What Sun Lao Er said is all true, all of them are well documented, and Zhang Fatzi actually knew everything before. It's just that Sun Lao Er told it so methodically, but he had never thought of it so before.

What especially surprised Zhang Fatzi was that Sun Laoer, an old man who didn't look amazing, and even a little rustic, was able to quote scriptures and talk endlessly, and his familiarity with historical records was definitely not worse than himself.

Maybe it's really like what Sun Lao Er said, what these thieves and soldiers have looted for more than a thousand years is just a little fur of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and the real secret in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is still hidden in a deeper and more secret place?

Zhang Fatzi actually admired Sun Laoer's profound knowledge in his heart, but he was robbed by this bad old man in front of others, which made him speechless, and he still couldn't hang up on his face, so he was still a little angry in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Fatzi was speechless when asked, Ye Feng was even more determined to explore the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.

He respectfully said to Sun Lao Er: "Since we have decided to go and find out, I don't know when the seniors are going to set off? ”

Sun Lao Er drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, took a long breath and said, "Don't worry, you guys will come over after noon tomorrow, I still have to wait for a friend here." If you want to succeed this time, you have to have him with you. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked, "I don't know which master it is?"

Sun Lao Er seemed to be a little drunk and shook his head and said: "It's not a master, but he is a strange person." ”

Eccentric?

Zhang Fatzi wanted to snort, but finally didn't dare to hum.

Is there anyone stranger than you bad old man in the world?
