The scene was as terrifying as what Buddhists call Shura Hell. The group of palace servants who came out of the battlefield were all frightened, and their awe for Qin Chuan deepened. It seemed that this person in front of them was
Humans were no longer humans, but gods-like beings. Qin Chuan was tired and lost too much blood, so he fell into Chen Qingzhi's arms and fell asleep.
Chen Qingzhi checked Qin Chuan's body and found that except for the serious stab wound on Qin Chuan's shoulder, most of the wounds on Qin Chuan's body were small wounds, and during his inspection, these small wounds were quietly healing.
Seeing Chen Qingzhi exclaiming in his heart, the guards were also busy and spread out to look for any survivors among the horse bandits. However, after the inspection, they found a total of 426 dead people, all of whom were killed. The dead were dressed in different clothes.
Strange, it seems they are not the same people. The guards wanted to find some money and water from these gangsters, but they found nothing. These gangsters didn't even have a penny on them. But also, who has gold and silver in his arms?
Go rob someone else's!
Finally, a guard found a piece of brocade silk two feet long and wide on the body of a bandit who looked like a small leader. It looked very old, and the brocade silk was stained with the blood of the little leader. But it looked like this brocade silk was quite important.
Otherwise, the bandit would not have kept it close to his body. After the guard presented the brocade silk to Chen Qingzhi, he vaguely saw it like a map under the moonlight. He picked up the fire fold and read it carefully.
Although Chen Qingzhi was a military officer, he was knowledgeable about the past and present. When he touched the brocade silk in his hand, he concluded that the silk paper was very old and was from the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest. How could a bandit have such a good thing? Chen Qingzhi was suspicious. Carefully
After reading the content on this brocade, I saw that the ink marks on the brocade were crisscrossed with ravines, and the mountains, rivers and hills were lifelike. It turned out to be a map, very accurate. Chen Qingzhi was a man with a military background, and he knew that even the best surveyor in the Liang Kingdom was very accurate.
It was difficult to draw up such a detailed map. There were several places marked with characters in the map, but they were written in the Zhou Dynasty. He recognized these characters. They were all ancient place names, and there was a line of characters on the edge, Zhou.
The content of the article is "Eight Wonders of King Mu's Journey to the West, Yanshi System." There are also several places on the map that are circled in red with light cinnabar. Although it is old, the deep red of cinnabar has not faded very much.
Chen Qingzhi didn't have time to take a closer look, so he carefully hid the map and ordered everyone to move forward quickly. More than four hundred horse thieves died here, and Qin Chuan was injured and asleep. If they waited until their accomplices arrived, he would not be able to die.
The place of burial.
By the time dawn came, the camel team had been more than 40 miles away from the scene of the accident and arrived at a small oasis, about half a mile in radius. This oasis was the product of an underground river in the Kongque River. The body of Populus euphratica stood tall, looking at the horizon.
As the morning sun rose in the haze, Chen Qingzhi patted his tired face and ordered everyone to stop advancing, rest here for a day, and then resume their journey in the evening.
The desert was not very hot in the early morning, but Chen Qingzhi knew that the heat would hit soon. It was impossible to withstand the heat with just a tent, even in the so-called oasis, so he ordered the guards to dig sand pits
, and then set up a thick tent, which was covered with fine sand, and then cut down a lot of shrubs and branches from the oasis and put them on top, so that the inside of the sand pit would not be so cool and people could sleep comfortably.
After a while, the guards also completed their work. Except for a few guards who were on duty, the others got into the cool sand pit and fell asleep.
Qin Chuan, who had been sleeping on a hunchback all night, woke up faintly. The wounds on his body had been treated and bandaged tightly. Except for his face being a little pale, he still looked in good spirits.
"Wake up." He patted Chen Qingzhi, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and woke up Chen Qingzhi, who had been marching in a hurry all night. With bloodshot eyes, he sat up vigilantly and found that Qin Chuan, who had been half dead last night, actually
Beside him, someone looked at him energetically.
Chen Qingzhi had a look of disbelief. He rubbed his eyes desperately to make sure he was not dazzled, then he paused and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qin Chuan nodded, looked around at the sleeping crowd, and said in a low voice: "Come out with me, I'll tell you something."
Chen Qingzhi looked helpless and thought to himself: "When did we become so familiar? Do you have something to say to me?" Qin Chuan never talked much, but now he suddenly talked to him. He had to surprise him, but after a sleepless night, he
Both physically and mentally exhausted, what he wanted to do most at the moment was to fall asleep and sleep until the end of the night. However, Qin Chuan was a Yinhou named by the emperor after all, and his words were not only a courtesy, but also an order. Chen Qingzhi was unable to do so.
reject.
"What's going on, Marquis Yin?" Chen Qingzhi said lazily after getting out of the tent, yawning, stretching his muscles and bones.
Qin Chuan motioned for him to follow him, walked towards the depths of the oasis for a while, then stopped and said: "Okay, no one here can hear our conversation, there are some things I have to tell you carefully.
"
Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "Please speak." He realized that Qin Chuan's body had completely recovered. He walked like a gust of wind and seemed to be more energetic than before.
Qin Chuan said: "I told Xiao Yan that I went here to look for Biluo Ganoderma lucidum. This is not the case."
"What?!" Chen Qingzhi's heart sank, and he said with an unhappy face: "Qin Chuan, you are so bold. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you want to punish the nine tribes." He pressed the saber on his waist, but immediately
He stopped again. Last night, this guy killed more than a hundred gangsters alone. How could I be his opponent? What on earth did this guy want to do?
Qin Chuan smiled calmly and said: "I can bear this crime." Then he said: "Biluo Ganoderma is not an immortal medicine. It has the effect of prolonging life. It is impossible to live forever by relying on this. There are only two kinds in the world.
Things can make people live forever, one is the elixir, and the other is the seal of reincarnation. The elixir can keep the human body in a youthful state, but it has the disadvantage that after a period of time, the person who takes the elixir must sleep once, and the dormant person
During the process, the human brain may forget a lot of memories; and the biggest disadvantage of the elixir is that not everyone is suitable for taking it. After taking it, people who are not suitable will not only not be able to extend their lifespan, but will become monsters, ignorant and human-centered.
Food is terrible.
"As for the reincarnation seal, it cannot protect the human body, but it can preserve the human soul forever and awaken memories of previous lives. Therefore, the reincarnation seal can be regarded as a kind of immortality, and life can achieve infinite reincarnation with its help.
"Qin Chuan's voice was extremely magnetic and he spoke slowly.
"What's the purpose of telling me all this?" Chen Qingzhi asked with a straight face.
"I want to tell you that what we are looking for is not Biluo Ganoderma, but the real elixir and the seal of reincarnation." Qin Chuan had a weird smile on his face. "This is my purpose."
