After Wu Xie and Fatty had a fight, they all picked up some wood washed up on the rocky beach and started a fire to bake their clothes.
Staring at the churning flames, Wuxie suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something: "By the way, where is the old itch?!"
The fat man was startled by the innocent movement, and all the fat in his body shook: "What about grandson? We picked you up when we jumped from the waterfall, and no one else saw you."
After the fat man finished speaking, he winked hard at Lin Yi and Zhang Qiling, telling them not to talk about the incident of killing Uncle Tai's team just now. Wu Xie, a fledgling college student, would definitely not be able to bear it.
Lin Yi looked at the fat man squeezing his eyes strangely. He thought he was infected by soaking in the green water in the stone room before, and was about to express concern.
Seeing Lin Yi open his mouth, Zhang Qiling felt that he might not understand what the fat man meant, so he quickly took out the book that the fat man had just handed to him: "This is the "Hemu Collection" written by Bu Yanqi during the Northern Wei Dynasty."
The fat man's eyes immediately lit up as he had a legacy in his family: "What?! It's actually this baby!"
Fatty quickly changed places with Wu Xie, sitting next to Zhang Qiling and looking out to watch the excitement. At this glance, he discovered something was wrong: "That's wrong... Bu Yanqi is all mute, "Hemu Ji" should be written in mute It’s written in traditional Chinese characters.”
Zhang Qiling opened the Hemu Collection and said calmly: "This is a translated copy, not the original volume."
"Wait, what is that 'Bu Yan Qi'?" Wu Xie was diverted.
The fat man glanced around and found that Lin Yi also had a curious look on his face. Expecting his brother to explain, he would probably only get a few simple words, so he cleared his throat and explained: "There was an army in the Northern Wei Dynasty that followed the gold-touching school established by Cao Cao. Lieutenant, he was the emperor's bodyguard openly, but secretly he was engaged in back-and-forth business to enrich the treasury.
The reason why it is called Silent Cavalry is because all the people in that army are mute, so that the secrets will not be leaked.
Because back-fighting is a bad thing, and if others find out about it, it may cause resentment among the people, so they use dumb text to convey information, which most people cannot understand.
Buyanqi's whereabouts have always been mysterious. Legend has it that when they found an ancient tomb that was not in a hurry to dig, they would flatten it with horses and fill it with iron slurry to seal it. When necessary, they would retrieve it based on records. The thing that records the location of the ancient tomb is called "Hemu Collection". "
Wuxie nodded: "So this "Hemu Collection" means where there is a tomb."
The fat man pretended to touch his chin and nodded: "Yeah~ He is really a teachable kid~"
Wuxie patted the fat man on the back: "Hey~ You really think you are a cultural person if you know something!"
"Hehe~" Fatty smiled nonchalantly: "Brother, take a look at the back to see if there is anything useful?"
Zhang Qiling quickly turned the page with just one glance. The fat man's heart trembled at the speed of turning the page. He couldn't turn the page any further!
Zhang Qiling stopped when there were two or three pages left. He found records about this tomb, but it was too long and he didn't want to read it.
Seeing that Zhang Qiling was silent for so long, the fat man hesitated and asked: "What's wrong, little brother? Did you see bad news?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head and handed Hemuji to Lin Yi: "Read it."
Lin Yi took the Hemuji puzzledly, and when he looked down, he knew why Zhang Qiling stopped. There were too many words on it.
Zhang Qiling usually only said what was necessary, and would even use his eyes to express what was unnecessary. It was really difficult for him to read such a long thing.
So Lin Yi glanced at the above content and started to read: "In the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, a government mine in the Taibai Mountain area reported that the miners dug out a bronze pillar, and the bronze pillar dug four holes all the way down. I haven’t dug it to the bottom for months.
Soon, the Xiaoqi battalion took over the mine with three thousand death row prisoners with secret orders, sealed the mine and continued digging.
Three thousand prisoners on death row dug for four years and three months until a cave appeared at the bottom of the mountain. However, the roots of the bronze tree were still missing, but a dragon-patterned stone box was dug out.
There seemed to be something in the dragon-patterned stone box, but there was no crack at all and it couldn't be opened at all. The person in charge didn't dare to tamper with it and sent the box into the palace.
At the end of the 18th year of Qianlong's reign, the emperor rewarded the leaders of the Xiaoqi camp who had sealed off the mines with a second-class title, each with a reward of one hundred taels, and sent fine wine to reward the whole camp..."
There was a paragraph at the back that was recorded in Manchu. Lin Yi stopped temporarily and started translating.
The fat man was listening enthusiastically when Lin Yi suddenly stopped. He quickly urged: "Doctor Lin, don't stop, keep going."
After comparing the data, Lin Yi translated the meaning of those Manchu texts, but the content was too cruel, so he briefly summarized it: "The wine that rewarded the whole camp was poisonous. No one in the Xiaoqi camp was spared, and they were all poisoned to death. .
In the end, the entrance to the mine was sealed, and the three thousand death row prisoners were trapped and died in the mine. "
"What? This is too cruel!" Wuxie exclaimed in disbelief.
The fat man narrowed his eyes and said: "The lives of ordinary people are nothing to the emperor. There must be some secret in the dragon-patterned stone box that was dug out. The emperor didn't want the secret to be spread, so he killed people and silenced them."
"That may be true. There are no more records about the dragon-patterned stone box." Lin Yi handed the book back to Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling reached out and threw "Hemu Ji" into the fire and burned it. The fat man was so anxious that he wanted to reach out to fish it out, but Zhang Qiling held his hand down.
The fat man looked at the "Hemu Ji" that was gradually being licked and burned by the flames with regret, and felt heartbroken: "Brother, if you don't want this kind of treasure, give it to me!"
Zhang Qiling pushed the fat man's hand back: "Danger."
Wuxie also advised: "That's right, Fatty. It's not easy to dig a tomb sealed with iron slurry. There might be some danger inside."
Fatty waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Fatty, I don't have to have it, I just think it's a pity to burn it like this."
Wu Xie rested his chin on his knees and sighed: "That boss Wang said that you can enter the tomb by following the iron chain, but we all fell down. Which way should we go now?"
The fat man hugged Wuxie and teased him in a nonchalant voice: "You fell down, but we jumped down on our own initiative~"
Wu Xie's face was full of sadness: "Fat man, please stop being poor. There are caves in the karst landforms extending in all directions. If we walk casually, we may be trapped to death. We can only get out through the underground palace.
Moreover, Lao Itch is still missing, and I don’t know whether he is dead or alive..."
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's have a meal first!" The fat man took out a small pot from his backpack and poured mineral water into the pot.
Wu Xie was stunned when he saw it: "Fat man, you bring a pot with you in the bucket? Besides, wouldn't it be enough to just use water from the river? Why waste mineral water?"
The fat man picked up two stones and placed them next to the fire, then put the pot on them. After doing this, he explained to Wu Xie: "The scalding of human meat rolls has cast a shadow on me. Even if you kill me, I won't drink the water from the river." , God knows how many corpses are soaked in it."
Just now they threw three bodies in!
"yUe~" Thinking of that scene, Wuxie hit yUe, obviously disgusted.
Under the skillful hands of the fat man, the fragrant canned meat instant noodles are ready.
Wuxie held the jar and sucked the instant noodles. He was so moved that he didn't want to give up any of his things. All his things were in Lao Itchi's bag. If they hadn't met the fat man, they would have starved to death!
The fat man was also sipping instant noodles from the jar. He turned around and found that Wuxie had been staring at the pool: "Zhenzhen, what are you looking at?"
Wuxie took a sip of soup and drank the instant noodles in his mouth: "I just remembered the legend I heard from the guide. A Taoist priest from the Qing Dynasty said that there were thousands of Yin soldiers galloping in Jiazi Valley, and there was a Yellow Spring in Tianmen Mountain. Waterfall, that waterfall is the passage to the Yin and Yang worlds.
When I fell from the waterfall just now, the hot water sprayed out by the intermittent hot fountains was yellow. That waterfall should be the so-called Huangquan Falls.
I think this tomb was excavated in the Qing Dynasty. Was the Taoist priest of the Qing Dynasty deliberately spreading rumors to prevent nearby villagers from entering the mountain so that he could hide the things here? "
The fat man stopped his chopsticks, turned to look at Zhang Qiling and Lin Yi, then looked at Wuxie and said: "That naive... I'm going to tell you something, don't be afraid..."
Seeing the mysterious look on the fat man's face, Wuxie also put down his chopsticks and looked at him doubtfully: "What's wrong? Tell me, what am I afraid of when everyone is here?"
The fat man swallowed his saliva with a 'dong' sound: "Wu Xie, when we were at the top of the waterfall, there were intermittent hot fountains at the bottom of the water only when you went into the water. When we went down, the water was extremely cold.
If the heat from the front hadn't subsided, I would have thought the fountain I saw was an illusion! "
"What!? That's impossible?" Wuxie almost jumped up in shock.
The fat man quickly held Wu Xie down: "Tian Tian, don't get excited and don't spill the instant noodles. I was fortunate to have worked hard to cook them."
"Fat man, what's important now is the noodles? What's important now is the weird incident I encountered!" Wuxie sat back down and sucked the noodles upright from the vat.
The matter has passed, but it is more important to fill your stomach. As for the rest, you can study it slowly.
