Perhaps it is my familiarity with history that caused this inexplicable dream to appear in my mind for no apparent reason.
The dunes and the platform gave me a hint that I couldn't easily believe. The meaning of this hint was really surprising.
This... this is not logical! It is obviously...
Outside the window, the moon was as bright as water, spilling on the window sill like milk. I quietly looked at the stars in the sky. It was already halfway through the night and everything was silent, but this was the time when my mind was most active.
Could it be that...those things have to be thought about in reverse?
My palms were sweating, and I couldn't help but clench them. I remembered what Li Yubo, the historian who faked his death, said when I first met him at Mingying's house... and Mr. Yu who lived in seclusion in a residential house in Jinshan District.
Those things recorded in the "Yu Family Tree"...
If things are really as I thought, how big a conspiracy is hidden here? A mystery that spans the entire history. Could it be that the truth is...?
Everything so far is just my speculation. To know the truth, it takes great courage. Because I know that if things are really as I think, people who know the truth will never be kind. Just because, this
The conspiracy is really huge and astonishing.
However, no matter how big the conspiracy was, it could not outweigh my curiosity. When I caught a clue of the matter, I couldn't help but take a peek at the true face of the whole incident and what it was about.
I decided to sleep a little longer and wait for the sky to get a little brighter, then go get my car. Then I went straight to Jinshan to visit Mr. Yu again and ask about the matter in detail.
After repeated self-comfort and hypnosis, I finally fell asleep on the recliner again.
No alarm clock rang, but I woke up just as it was getting light. I stood up tentatively and found that my left leg had improved a lot. I quickly packed up my clothes and test tubes and went out, called a taxi, and went straight to my house.
Drive away in a Mondeo.
Wrap the test tube, put it in the glove box, then roar all the way and ride straight to Jinshan Mountain.
But I knocked on Mr. Yu's door for a long time, but no one responded. I was worried, so I quickly turned to Wanshou Temple. With the Buddhist beads in my hand as a token, I went straight to the backyard and met Master Xujian.
The master was walking in the backyard at the moment. When I walked closer and stood still, he turned around. When he saw it was me, he smiled and said, "Amitabha, donor Lin, has been missing for some time."
I quickly put my hands together and saluted, and said: "Master, this junior is here to look for Mr. Yu, but he is not at home. I was worried, so I came to inquire. Master, does he know the whereabouts of Mr. Yu?"
Master Xujian smiled and said: "The old gentleman is in our temple, and he is having his morning fast at the moment. The donor does not need to be impatient. Wait for him...hey, isn't this coming?" He pointed with his finger.
I looked in the direction of the master's finger, and Mr. Yu, a boy with white hair and a boyish face, was walking towards us. As he walked, he said: "Young man, you are here so early?"
I limped forward, bowed and said, "I have something to do this time, and I want to ask the two seniors for advice."
Master Xujian was surprised and said: "Donor Lin seems to have some inconvenience in his legs and feet, but why?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm involved in some worldly matters and I accidentally got hurt. It's okay. Thank you, Master, for your concern."
Mr. Yu came up and said, "Young man, you didn't come to Master Xujian to ask for medicine for your injuries, right?"
I smiled horribly and said, "No. I do have something to ask."
Master Xujian smiled and said: "My old friend, I am trying my best to ask for medicine for you! Come on, come on, my medicine is not a rare thing, so I will give it to you. Let's heal the injury first.
"As he said this, he waved to me to follow him into the house.
As expected, the thousand-year-old temple has a rich history. Master Xujian took out a box of dark plaster, cut out some with a large spoon, put it on a candle to bake, let it cool slightly, and then poured it on my knees. I felt a warm feeling.
The heat and comfort came, the slightest bit of medicinal power penetrated into the bones, and the pain had long since disappeared.
The two old men sat down on the chairs opposite me. Master Xujian said, "Come here this time, do you have anything to ask Mr. Yu?"
I pondered for a moment and then said: "What I want to ask is, when Qin Shihuang Yingzheng traveled five times to inspect the world, did he ever visit Kangcheng?"
Mr. Yu and Grandmaster Xujian both shook their bodies slightly and looked at each other. Mr. Yu said every word: "Young man, why do you ask this?"
I put one leg on the bench and couldn't stand up. I could only lean forward and said to Mr. Yu: "Old sir, please forgive me for being reckless. I hope you can answer my doubts first. If you don't mind it, Mr. Yu, I would like to know."
All details about Qin Shi Huang’s tour.”
Mr. Yu sighed softly and said: "In 221 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin unified the six countries. From the second year to the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, he toured the world five times in total.
The first tour to the northwest started from Xianyang, the imperial capital, out of Longxi, passed through Beidi, passed Jitou Mountain, and returned to central China. Returning to central China, which is now Ningxia.
During the second tour to the east, he visited Mount Tai, and then went to Langya County on the Bohai Sea to look eastward at the Immortal Mountains in search of the elixir of immortality. He mobilized more than 30,000 people to build the Langya Tower, and ordered the alchemist Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls out to Yingzhou to search for immortality.
The medicine of immortality. Qin Shihuang stayed here for three months and hoped that Xu Fu would donate the medicine as soon as possible. Who knew that he couldn't find it after looking around, so he had to return to Xianyang in despair."
I nodded, thinking that this is true. My hometown is in Tai'an, Shandong, where Mount Tai is located. On Mount Tai, there is an inscription left by Qin Shihuang when he conferred the title of god, which was written by Li Si. There is also a tree called "Five Doctors Pine"
The pine tree was the tree used by Qin Shihuang to shelter from the rain.
Mr. Yu continued: "On his third tour, Qin Shihuang returned to Langya County. In fact, he still wanted the elixir of immortality. He was going to Langyatai to wait for news about Xu Fu. Unexpectedly, along the way, he arrived at the Bolang Sandy Land in Deyangwu County.
, was suddenly attacked by an assassin, and Dazhui, which flew out of thin air, accidentally hit the auxiliary car. This move was actually done by Zhang Liang who paid a lot of money to hire a strongman. Qin Shihuang only escaped with thirty auxiliary cars. So he ended his eastward tour early and returned.
Arrive at Xianyang.
The fourth tour to Xianyang, Gyeonggi Province. Ever since Qin Shihuang suffered a sudden disaster in the Bolang Sands, his body was not hit in the vertebrae, and he had lingering fears. He lived in the palace for several years. However, he was interested in traveling, but he did not dare to go hiking, so he left the ceremonial guard.
, led four guards out of the palace at night, incognito, and patrolled the capital."
Mr. Yu is well versed in history, and this narration is like a treasure. When I heard this, I cupped my hands and said: "Mr. Yu, Qin Shihuang did not go to Kangcheng in these four tours, and they were once in the northwest, once in the suburbs, and the other two
They all go to Mount Tai and Langya. The route is relatively fixed. Why did he come all the way to Kangcheng in the southeast during the fifth patrol?" You must know that during the Qin Dynasty, the imperial city was located in Xianyang, and today's Shanghai,
At that time, the geographical distance between Qin Shihuang and Xianyang was almost equivalent to the relationship between Kashgar or Shigatse and Beijing today.
Mr. Yu twisted his beard and said: "Yes. In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, that is, 210 BC, Qin Shihuang made his fifth patrol. But for some unknown reason, the route was completely different from the previous four times. He arrived at the hometown of Wu and Chu in the southeast, that is,
Today's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, and Shanghai areas. Not to mention "Kangcheng Huangting Guangji", just "Historical Records? Qin Shihuang's Chronicles" records that the route of the fifth patrol was: all the way from Xianyang to Yunmeng University
Ze, from Fujiang (that is, the Yangtze River), went down the river, passed Danyang, and arrived at Changshui County. He was boating on Changshui Lake. Seeing the calm waves, he was very happy and killed three white horses to sacrifice to the lake god. I was in a good mood.
However, when he heard that the local people sang that "the emperor came out of the water market", he was afraid and angry, so he drove 100,000 prisoners and dug up the land to dispel the rumor that "the emperor came out of the water market". In order to ridicule Changshui County, Qin Shihuang even had it
The name was changed to "Qijuan County", which means that the prisoners were very tired from working here. Later generations misunderstood and called it "Youquan County".
The First Emperor's dragon boat left Damang Lake (today's called Mao Lake) and went all the way to Yunjian. It went ashore and climbed to the mountains and rivers (later known as Qinwang Mountain, located in the northeast of Zhangyan Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai).
(has become flat land), overlooking the water town, the scenery is picturesque, I can't help but admire my policy, loudly said: "Agriculture is eliminated, the head of Guizhou is rich, men enjoy their fields, and women cultivate their careers." After chanting, he ordered this
Yan carved stone stands on the top of the mountain. Then, go south along the official road to Kangcheng at the northern foot of Jinshan (now Dajinshan Island, no need to explain this, I have written a lot before), and stay in Kangcheng that night
The city garrisoned the Duwei Mansion. The next day, he set off to Wanghai Pavilion, crossed Qiantang, climbed Kuaiji Mountain, and offered sacrifices to Dayu. Before leaving, he ordered the censor Zhongcheng Tiandan to stay in Haiyan County temporarily to repair and expand Kangcheng;
Yi (well, this Meng Yi is the protagonist in the movie "Myth", but historically he is not a general, but a minister, a civil servant, but his status in the court is higher than his younger brother Meng Tian, except Li Si
, Qin Shihuang's chief staff officer) conscripted 30,000 men and women from the north to engage in farming and mulberry farming in Kangcheng.
After that, Qin Shihuang went north from Wu Di (now Jiangsu) to Shandong. He arrived at Langya County for the third time and climbed Langyatai. He lamented that Xu Fu never returned and failed to ask for the elixir of immortality for him.
Then, Qin Shihuang returned to Xianyang from Langya County. When he arrived at Pingyuanjin (south of today's Dezhou City, Shandong Province), he suddenly fell seriously ill. In July, Qin Shihuang died in the sand dune (now the northwest platform of Guangzong, Hebei). The second son Hu Hai died in Zhaogao
, Li Si planned to tamper with the edict of the First Emperor and force the death of Prince Fusu. But the First Emperor was dead, why could he still issue an edict to kill Fusu? In order to deceive his subjects, a group of people in the Qin Emperor's patrol caravan were constipated and did not mourn.
Zhao Gao prepared to continue his patrol and took a detour back to Xianyang. Due to the scorching heat in the summer, Qin Shihuang's body rotted and smelled. In order to hide it from others, Zhao Gao ordered to buy a lot of salted fish and put it on the car. The smell of salted fish covered up the putrid smell of the corpse. Return
After arriving in Xianyang, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne and became the second emperor of Qin."
I nodded again. The stories I just told, about accidentally hitting the passenger car, and about the salted fish covering up the smell of corpses, are all known to everyone, so I said to Mr. Yu: "I see. Qin Shihuang went on patrol five times.
He actually came to Langya three times. It seems that he really longs for immortality and has high hopes for Xu Fu. It's a pity that Xu Fu has already traveled east to the island country and became Izanagi."
Seeing what I said was interesting, Master Xujian laughed and said: "Although Izanagi is the god who created human beings in Japanese mythology, but..."
I also wanted to hear what he would say after the "but", but Mr. Yu interrupted him and said to me: "Young man, I have said everything that needs to be said. But, you ask, what are these?
What’s the intention?”
I looked embarrassed. What I said next was too important. I didn’t know whether I should say it or not.
