In the mountain forest where the rain was pouring, all four of them were stunned when they looked at this jade tablet that was half a person tall and ten inches thick!
Such a big jade!
How did you get it?
Such a large jade, not to mention the ancient times when mining technology was difficult, is definitely priceless even today!
But now, it is only used to carve inscriptions!
To have such a big deal, in ancient times, one would definitely be rich or noble!
If it were a sword, someone might forge it or imitate it, but with such a precious jade, would anyone really use such a thing to imitate and forge the First Emperor? !
The reason here is simply not valid!
But if it was left behind by the real First Emperor, it would be even more outrageous!
The First Emperor began forging swords and refining elixirs when he was young? ?
"The words are very similar, and the tone is also somewhat similar. They are somewhat similar to the First Emperor Ying Zheng recorded in history, but..." An accompanying doctor of archeology frowned.
"I'm still not sure. After all, everything we found and the records on the inscription are really mysterious..." Ye Qingyao instantly understood what his best friend was thinking and answered.
Old man Li Yunshan and the remaining classmate nodded lightly.
It's indeed a bit mysterious.
Alchemists, Qi practitioners, Fengqingmen, warlocks refining alchemy...
And before the First Emperor came to the throne, did Zhao and Chu really attack Qin? Why don't they remember?
Everyone lowered their heads and wanted to continue to study the words below, but the time was too long. Even the warm and tough jade could not completely engrave the words thousands of years ago.
"No matter how you say it, this is a new discovery. Even if it is not a treasure left by the First Emperor Ying Zheng, it is definitely a discovery that shocks the archaeological world!" Old man Li Yunshan said this, his dark eyes shining brightly in the night.
He raised his head and looked into the distance of the forest. "If we follow the river and continue to search upwards, I think we will make new discoveries!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the other three people were obviously hesitant.
After all, traveling at night in a heavy rainstorm is not really a safe thing.
But after all, they couldn't resist the stubborn old man and were forced to continue on their way.
As a result, just after everyone had walked along the creek for about a hundred meters, another huge black shadow appeared near the turbulent river!
"Surprisingly...there's more!"
The four of them were overjoyed and rushed forward. Sure enough, there was another stone tablet!
A huge stone monument lies across the rolling stream, and the turbid muddy water washes away the traces of time.
Four people braved the heavy rain and hurriedly dug out the stone tablet.
As expected, this stele is also carved from jade, but compared to the previous one, it is much smaller in size, only about half the size. It also has a lot of words recorded on it, but most of them have been lost in the passage of time. It is completely obliterated and cannot be distinguished at all.
Everyone had no choice but to continue searching.
As a result, on the way down, they didn't know what kind of luck they had, but they found inscriptions one after another!
"Here's a piece!"
“It’s available here too!”
"I found one too!"
"There's another piece here! Oh my god, why are there so many!"
The four people screamed in surprise, and they were all stunned by what they found in front of them!
In just one hour, they found dozens of stone tablets of different sizes!
These stone tablets range in size from large to small. The large ones are comparable to the first one discovered, while the small ones are only the size of a palm.
They are all made of jade and are heavy to hold. Even though countless years have passed, you can still feel a trace of warmth.
Even among these things, they found three small jade boxes the size of fists!
There seems to be something inside, and it makes a thumping sound when it shakes, and if you get closer, you can smell a faint aroma and medicinal fragrance.
It's a pity that it can't be opened for the time being. It seems to be sealed. There is a vague word "waste" engraved on the top cover.
"Waste?"
"What does it mean?"
Old man Li Yunshan frowned and looked at the patterns on this small box. Unfortunately, he found that the patterns on this small box were the same as other jade stones. They seemed to have been carved with complex patterns and textures. Unfortunately, under the baptism of time, they , these lines have long been dimmed too much, and the handwriting can no longer be checked.
However, among them, there are still a few inscriptions and small jade boxes, and a few words can be barely discerned!
"The two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu are attacking, and the prime ministers and queens are quarreling with each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I have been ordered by His Highness Gong Zizheng to collect precious materials from all over the world and cast an elixir furnace..."
"The alchemy furnace was built with 10,000 kilograms of bronze and took 7,749 days. On the day it was completed, thousands of people came to congratulate..."
"The things used in making alchemy are all rare treasures from heaven and earth, and they consume a lot of money, attracting onlookers from all directions..."
Seeing this, Old Man Li Yunshan and the others narrowed their eyes.
This is recorded on the stone tablet in front, and you have probably read it before.
The reason for the construction of this ruins seems to be that the two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu attacked Qin, and Lu Buwei and Queen Huayang competed for power, which caused the time of Ying Zheng's enthronement ceremony to be delayed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ying Zheng ordered one of his men to go to a place called Fengqingmen to build a large cauldron and smelt elixirs, hoping to use the elixirs to strengthen himself...
I haven't seen any big problems until now. After all, although some of the sentences in these inscriptions are exaggerated, the ancient people's speech was usually exaggerated and exaggerated.
But then, when they saw the records on the remaining stone tablets, their expressions became a little strange.
"Although the difficulty of refining elixirs is far beyond imagination, and the level of difficulty is also the same, but on the day when the cauldron is completed, people from all directions will kowtow and all souls will worship!"
"We used this alchemy furnace to smelt the elixir and stayed awake for dozens of days, but we all ended in failure."
"Although the elixir in the furnace is surrounded by auspicious clouds, the fairy spirit is ethereal, and the fragrance lingers for thousands of miles, it cannot be called an elixir in the end!"
"After working hard day and night, the elixir is finally completed!"
"On the day when the elixir is completed, the wind will come to congratulate you, and the heaven will bring auspiciousness!"
"After taking several pills, His Highness the Young Master buried the remaining elixirs in the earth together with the ancient elixirs of the furnace."
"Such a useless elixir was buried under the earth on the order of His Highness the Young Master."
"Absorb the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth, and reserve it for those who are destined in future generations..."
? ? ? ?
Seeing this, the expressions of old man Zhao Yunshan, Ye Qingyao and others suddenly became a little weird!
These three small jade boxes that cannot be opened contain the so-called waste products of failed elixirs?
Is...the elixir of failure?
What's happening here? ?
