These corpses were all young. Their eyes were closed and their lips were pursed. This action showed that they had great determination. Bai Yi thought to himself, are these people accepting death with the determination to die? Look at these corpses again.
They were still holding hands and holding hands very tightly. It seemed to be a unified behavior. Bai Yi thought of collective suicide...
These corpses were spread out there. A rough count revealed that there were more than forty corpses, some of them male and female. However, these corpses were all about the same age and not tall. They were real boys and girls.
If it hadn't been discussed in advance, how could these people organize themselves in such a neat array?
Such neatly dressed people died so uniformly? Isn't this mass suicide just a matter of collective deliberation and then dying at the same time? However, after these people died, who set up the crystals on them? Obviously, in addition to these people, there are also
There are some living people doing these things…
"Bai Yi, look at the jade articles they are wearing." Lei Zi saw the important point at a glance: "Damn, they are all fine sapphire. Look at the clothes. These people are just ordinary people, but everyone is wearing jade articles.
, this is a bit wrong."
Lei Zi rolled his eyes and said to Bai Yi: "Bai Yi, how about you open it and take a look?"
Crystal is a very fragile thing. If you want to knock it, it is an easy job. Master Jiu suddenly said: "People who appreciate jade in today's world say that it has a fine texture, a moist color, a bright and smooth color, and it does not freeze the hands in winter and has no agitation in summer.
But this jade was regarded as a psychic object in ancient times."
"The Qin Dynasty advocated black, so they loved sapphire. The green and black color of sapphire represents the color of water, and it is also in line with the Qin people's tradition of admiring black. The jade is engraved with a cockroach pattern, also called a snake pattern, which symbolizes the beauty of the snake.
The image of a snake, forming a geometric figure, with a triangular or rounded-triangular head
The body has a pair of protruding big round eyes, and the body has scales and is in the shape of a long curly strip. The characteristics of a snake are obvious. This kind of jade is also a typical feature of Qin Dynasty jade." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he looked at Master Jiu: "Jiu
Master, judging from their clothes and the jade articles they wear, there is no doubt that they are from the Qin Dynasty."
"Yes, ordinary people wear jade that does not suit their status. I am more concerned about this." Master Jiu suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Fangfei: "Fangfei, what do you think?"
"It's better to open it and take a look like Lei Zi said, maybe you can get something bigger." Xie Fangfei said: "Actually, I have a guess, but I dare not say it yet. I need further evidence."
"Okay." Bai Yi and Jiu Ye exchanged glances: "Let's see who these people are, Lei Zi, use the tools!"
Crystal is a very fragile thing. It is clear and beautiful, but it cannot withstand gravity. Everyone took out the most solid tools and started knocking on the large piece of crystal. When the transparent crystal was scattered, the fragments were also filled with
Crystal beautiful, Xiao Ning said regretfully: "What a pity, such a beautiful crystal."
The crystal fragments fell on the corpses, making them look miserable. The moment of destruction was still full of pleasure. After the destruction was completed, seeing the scattered crystal fragments and nowhere to go, Lei Zi cursed: "
Damn it, it wouldn’t be worth it if you cut off your feet.”
At this time, Xie Fangfei jumped down neatly. The bottom was made of rocks. It didn't look like it was dug the day after tomorrow. This big hole was made naturally. Seeing a woman who didn't look like a mother-in-law, Lei Zi felt a little uncomfortable.
Feeling embarrassed, he jumped down immediately. Master Jiu also wanted to go down, but Bai Yi stopped him: "Master Jiu, please wait above, let us go down to check."
After all, Master Jiu is old and doesn't want to show off: "Well, you should be more careful."
Bai Yi jumped down and immediately asked everyone to do two things. The first was to pull off the sapphire pendant on the corpse. The second was to find if there was anything else on the corpse that could represent their identity. Everyone was busy working on it.
When he got up, Lei Zi felt that such a harvest was so refreshing. He pulled off several green jade pendants on the corpses and suddenly found words on the backs of these jade pendants: "Bai Yi, come and see, what is engraved on the back of this jade pendant?"
"
Bai Yi leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, the back of the jade pendant had words engraved on it: "Feng Chang."
"What is this?" Others gathered around, but Bai Yi didn't answer. He looked at the backs of other jade pendants and saw these two words engraved on them. He said, "It seems we can know who they are.
Yes, this Fengchang is an official institution of the Qin Dynasty. It is in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple and is one of the Nine Qings. These corpses are all hung with the signs of the Feng Dynasty. It seems that they must have come from the palace."
"Palace maids and eunuchs?" After Lei Zi finished speaking, he didn't care about the other two girls. He actually took off the clothes of one of the male corpses, lifted them up, glanced at them, frowned, and shook his head: "That's not right.
, these male corpses are not eunuchs.”
"No, I'm afraid..." Bai Yi thought of what Xie Fangfei said just now: "Miss Fangfei, you just said that you had some guesses, so does this jade pendant count as a kind of evidence?"
"Thousands of boys and girls." Xie Fangfei said: "Bai Yi, I felt that you had thought of it just now, but you were not sure, so you never spoke. When we came to Penglai, we naturally had some understanding of this place.
, who is the person related to Penglai?"
Master Jiu was startled: "Are you talking about Xu Fu? Then what do you think these male and female corpses are..."
"Back then, Xu Fu brought the boys and girls looking for Penglai in the fairyland."
, naturally also sent to Tai
After being taught by the temple master, it is not surprising that they would have the Fengchang brand on their bodies. Also, in pursuit of eternal life, Qin Shihuang placed his hope in Penglai and the elixir, and invested heavily in Xu Fu. Thousands of boys and girls were
people, as well as those who have already
He prepared three years of food, clothing, medicine and farming tools to go to sea to seek immortality, which cost a lot of money. However, Xu Fu led his troops to sea for several years and failed to find the sacred mountain. In 210 BC, Qin Shihuang visited Langya eastward, and Xu Fu excused himself by saying that after going to sea
Encountering the obstacle of a huge mackerel, no one can
Fa Yuanhang asked to send more archers to deal with the mackerel. Qin Shihuang immediately agreed and sent archers to kill a big fish. This shows that Qin Shihuang was very determined to find the fairy island, so it makes sense that these people would wear sapphire pendants.
Already."
Bai Yi and Qi Xie exchanged glances, then looked up at Master Jiu. Master Jiu naturally agreed very much. Bai Yi smiled and said: "That's right, there are thousands of boys and girls, why are there only so many corpses here? Is it possible that there are only a few corpses left here?
Did the people really go eastward with Xu Fu? Miss Fangfei, have you ever lived in Japan, do you know anything about it?"
Xie Fangfei said: "Well, what I know are probably just some legends. I can't guarantee their authenticity. I just want to tell them for everyone to listen to."
"But it doesn't matter." Bai Yi said: "We are on an ordinary ship now, aren't we?"
Xie Fangfei was stunned and immediately smiled: "Of course."
