Chapter Thirty-Three Burial
At this moment, two balls of flames suddenly rose on the island. This was the signal that was decided at the beginning. If two balls of flames like this rose, the people on the island were asking for help, and the soldiers on the sea would immediately land on the island.
The general who was with the ship immediately ordered the ship to land on the island. The veteran rushed forward to stop it, but the confused general did not listen at all. He even killed the veteran with one sword and shouted: "Those who disobey the military orders will be killed!"
Everyone was unable to drive the boat to lean towards the island. After they arrived at the island, there were already corpses everywhere on the island. What’s strange is that the murderer and the person who was killed turned out to be people with exactly the same appearance!
All the soldiers were stunned and could not believe the scene in front of them. The captain felt his legs trembling. At this moment, the strangest thing happened. A group of people rushed over from one side of the island, which was exactly the same as the captain and the others. The captain even saw himself in the crowd opposite!
Everyone collapsed suddenly in such a situation and shouted, "There is a monster!" He waved his sword, raised his crossbow and fought with the "self" opposite him. The captain felt that his mind was hot and he was about to rush forward. Suddenly he realized something was wrong, and he quickly bit the tip of his tongue hard. The piercing pain kept him awake. The captain felt that this place was too weird and he had to leave immediately!
Two generals with the same face on the side were slashing and slashing wildly. Both of them had their eyes red in a mad manner. What a terrifying feeling it would be to kill themselves!
Suddenly he looked up and saw that the "self" opposite had already come to kill him with his sword. The captain turned around and ran away. In a hurry, he found a small boat and fled back to the sea. The captain looked back and saw endless screams and wails filling the island. The captain felt that his whole body was trembling.
He wandered on the sea for a few days before returning to the shore. The captain did not dare to return to the Central Plains, so he came to the Nanyi at that time, which is now in Guangxi, Guizhou, and lived in seclusion.
He lived there for decades, but he was always troubled by the incident, and he blamed himself for escaping at the time. When he was dying, he recorded these things and made people turn his tomb towards the direction where the soldiers on the sea died.
After listening to Master An's story, we fell into silence for a moment. According to the records of the captain, we can be sure that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng did build a tomb on that strange island, but he suffered an accident afterwards and did not know whether it was completed.
And I don’t know who this tomb was built for. It must be Qin Shihuang himself, because his tomb is located in Mount Li.
Although the incident that Mr. An did explain some of the questions in front of us, I still didn't understand what the purpose of his sudden talk about this matter was.
Yuanxiao on the side could no longer help but speak first, "I said Uncle An, I think what you said is indeed very helpful to our action, but I want to know what does this matter have to do with those handprints?"
Master An looked at the Lantern Festival, "I said, Master Tang, eating our bowl of rice does not depend entirely on strength, the key is on this," said Master An, pointing to his head, "You have to understand the chemical reactions and effects of these commonly used materials."
When I mentioned this knowledge, I saw that Yuanxiao's eyes were full of confusion, but when I heard the word chemistry, I couldn't help but look at my second uncle. Maybe Master An noticed my action, he also looked at my second uncle and said, "When it comes to this, Master Zhuo Er is an absolute expert, and he is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. He knows the most about these pink things. How about it? Master Zhuo Er, do you give these juniors some tips?"
The second uncle smiled and did not refuse, "You are kind to you, Master An. Speaking of this, I understand a little bit. When it comes to this, I put away the tomb robbers and fights. There are 360 industries, and there are no miscellaneous things in our industry. We must understand a little bit in every industry and every industry. In the future, it will be convenient to walk in the world. For example, today's event is typical chemical knowledge. Master An sprinkles sulfur powder, and it reacts with sulfur powder to appear reddish-brown solid. What is the more common material? It is mercury!"
"Mercury?" Yuanxiao thought for a while, "I understand. It means that the small handprint under the rubber boat contains a watermark, which means that the things underwater were even on their hands. In addition, the record mentioned by Uncle An just now shows that the little ghosts under the rubber boat were the boys and women who were filled with mercury during the Qin Dynasty."
Uncle An nodded, "It's true. This means that we are not far from that place back then."
"But I don't understand," Lanxiao continued: "Since those boys and girls who used mercury to kill them were buried with them, why did they throw them into the sea?"
Uncle Er shook his head and said, "It may be that some of the dead form are not suitable for burial, so they can only be abandoned."
I suddenly felt a little angry, "These are all living people! They treat them as things, they kill them if they say they are killed, and they abandon them if they say they are abandoned."
The second uncle sighed, "At that time, the power of the monarch was greater than anything else. At that time, there were many living people who were buried with them and living people who were sacrificed."
Yuanxiao also slapped the table indignation, "People like this deserve to be beaten. After we go back to the tomb, we will find the main coffin and throw it into the sea!"
"Oh, by the way." Yuanxiao continued, "Who do you think this tomb will belong to?"
"It's not Qin Shihuang anyway." I said.
"Nonsense, you have to say this!" said Lanxiao.
Master An waved his hand, "I guess this place will be above a strange earth vein?"
After hearing what he said, I suddenly remembered what my second uncle had told me, and couldn't help but answer casually: "Catch dragon?"
Hearing me say this, Master An looked at me in surprise, "I didn't expect that the Zhuo family has a lot of achievements in stargazing and meridian concentration techniques! I've really misunderstood. Don't blame me if I said before!"
I felt relieved and thought that I was just learning and selling it right away, just retelling my second uncle's original words. However, it was quite pleasant to make the old fox dare not look down on me anymore, so I replied casually: "I dare not slackewer with my family's secret techniques, I just rely on my second uncle's teachings!"
Master An was stunned for a moment, then nodded frequently. Yuanxiao next to me also counted his thumbs at me, and the eyes of others looking at me also changed, which made me feel a little proud.
Master An stretched out his hand and signaled me to continue. I couldn't help but look back at my second uncle. The second uncle came over and said in my ear: "Tell me what I'm telling you, tell them, it's okay to shock them!"
I thought to myself: Okay! Then I cleared my throat and said, "This so-called dragon hunting is to borrow dragons..." So, I told them the result of the second uncle's star-gazing and vein concentration that I told them, and finally said, "As long as I walk along this earth vein, I will definitely find the location of Qin Shihuang's dragon that year, which should be where they built the tomb."
Master An smiled and nodded, "The Zhuo family brother, can you speculate that who is Ying Zheng's tomb for?"
"This," I was a little panicked when I heard this question. Uncle Er had never told me a similar conclusion. At this time, if I couldn't say anything, the little bit of prestige I had just established was gone. So I had to bite the bullet and follow the previous thoughts and said: "Since the purpose of building a tomb in this dragon vein is to catch dragons, prevent and control this water dragon to impact the rule of the world, so as to ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty, then this person who set the acupoints here must be a member of the ruling class of the Qin Dynasty, and more likely to be the son of Qin Shihuang. Judging from historical materials, it is very likely that Qin Shihuang built his eldest son Fusu. If so, catching dragons will become a dragon control, and his descendants will definitely inherit the great cause!"
After saying these words, my heart was thumping, and I didn't even know what I said. I felt that everyone was quiet for a moment. I looked up and everyone looked at me in surprise. Master An's expression also became more serious. I looked back at Uncle II and found that he was staring at me with wide eyes. I suddenly panicked and asked Uncle II in a low voice: "Uncle II! Did I say something wrong?"
Before the second uncle could speak, the Master An next to him had already said loudly: "Well said it! I really didn't expect that you, who was young, would have such an opinion. The Zhuo family is indeed well-known!"
Lantern Festival actually took the lead in clapping her hands, which made me feel a little embarrassed. I thought to myself, I can get to the point of talking nonsense, I am such a genius!
