Chapter 5 Going over the old accounts and opening a big chapter to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival
I raised my heart, put my hands together and saluted Master Xujian, and said, "I dare to ask, Master, if I know an old lady named Lin Yinru?"
Master Xujian nodded and said: "I know. This female donor would occasionally come to donate incense money in the past, and the amount was very large. The rules in the temple are: when the incense money is donated to a certain amount, the abbot will receive it personally and include the name in the name list.
That’s how I got to know the female donor.”
I thought to myself that if I donate money hard enough, I can see the abbot. I remember when I had a small stack of red tickets, and if I wanted to see the abbot, I had to spread out my quilt and look like I was here to stay. It seemed like
Because the donation at that time was too little. Alas, **Si is such a hard worker.
But listening to this meaning, it seemed that Master Xujian did not have a close relationship with Mrs. Lin Yinru. I felt relieved and said, "I dare to ask this question because the matter is serious and I have to act with caution. If I accept this
I come down here and talk nonsense, I hope you two seniors can forgive me."
Mr. Yu said to Master Xujian: "This young man speaks with the style of the ancients, and I feel very comfortable listening to him."
Master Xujian also smiled and said: "Donor Lin wrote a poem in seven steps that day. He is very talented and can be said to be a leader among the younger generation."
Just when I was feeling ashamed and helpless, Master Xujian turned to me and said, "Donor Lin, it's okay to say what you say, don't have any worries. I and Mr. Yu will definitely keep your mouth shut. Don't worry."
I calmed down and said, "The reason why I just asked Mr. Yu about Qin Shihuang's past is because I doubt that Qin Shihuang is not dead at all!"
When Master Xujian and Mr. Yu heard my shocking words, they both said "Huh?", looked at each other, and were stunned on the spot.
Master Xujian was stunned for a long time and then said: "Donor Lin, where do you start with these words?"
I paused and remembered that I had asked them about the past in Kangcheng just to steal Xi Shi's body. I said with shame: "Both of you are very virtuous and respected people in the world, and I won't hide it from you. I asked you about it before."
The incident in Kangcheng was due to orders from a mysterious organization controlled by Mrs. Lin Yinru to go to the hometown of Kangcheng and steal Shi Yiguang's body."
The expressions of the two old gentlemen changed dramatically, and they were waiting for me to continue speaking seriously. I took a sip of the tea in my hand and said, "Junior, I have been unintentionally involved in a dispute recently. There is an incredible thing.
The younger generation has seen with his own eyes: There is a strange virus that, after being applied to the human body, will enter a state of immortality without eating, drinking, living, dying, or decaying. In..." I paused and almost said "garlic"
"The two words were swallowed back, and he continued, "Under certain special circumstances, even after a thousand years, you can be resurrected. I swear that I am not involved in this dispute and forced to steal Shi Yiguang's body.
For personal gain, it is really helpless."
Master Xujian nodded and said: "Donor Lin is an upright person and has a deep understanding of Buddhism. He is definitely not a treacherous and evil person. However, have you really found Kangcheng and found Shi Yiguang's body during his lifetime?"
I sighed and said: "I found it. Although Kangcheng has fallen into the sea, the power of nature is really mysterious. It actually used the cooled lava to create a huge seamless shell on part of the city of Kangcheng.
And because air was poured in and the sea water was squeezed out, after hundreds of years, it turned out to be a closed space with oxygen. The younger generation gave up his life and went down from the mouth of the Cold Cave Spring on Jinshan Island, narrowly escaping death to reach this mysterious place.
.I also met a father and daughter who suffered disaster during the Cultural Revolution. They escaped there by chance and have been living under the sea until now. By the way, speaking of this, master, I have a merciless request..."
Master Xujian said: "But it doesn't matter."
I put my hands together and saluted, and said: "I would like to ask your temple to take in this father and daughter when necessary and provide them with the necessary protection so that they will not be displaced and homeless. What do you think? I am willing to take care of them."
All living expenses.”
Master Xujian clasped his hands together and said, "Donor Lin, why did you say this? Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If the father and daughter need protection, our temple will not refuse."
I quickly bowed and thanked Master. Master Xujian waved his hand and said, "Donor Lin has a kind heart and is anxious for others. We monks are compassionate, so how can we not help each other? Donor Lin, please don't worry, there is no need to be polite.
"
Mr. Yu said from the side: "Young man, what you just said is too bizarre, but it is not inconsistent with history. It sounds very credible. I also want to continue listening."
I continued: "After entering the old place of Kangcheng under the sea, I found Shi Yiguang's body. After more than two thousand years, she was still lifelike with no signs of death. There is only one explanation for such strange phenomena, that
Even Shi Yiguang was infected with the virus. The reason why Mrs. Lin Yinru's organization forced the junior to find the body was because they wanted to resurrect her. Later, the junior did find a way to resurrect her. Here we are.
At this time, the organization thought that the junior was no longer of use to them, so it expelled the junior from the organization. This is the junior's luck. If not, I'm afraid that the junior would have been silenced long ago and would never be able to see the two seniors again."
Master Xujian sighed softly and said: "The world is in chaos, nothing like this. Amitabha."
I continued: "In addition to Mrs. Lin Yinru's organization, there is another organization that is also studying this virus. I risked my life yesterday to sneak into its secret base to investigate, but I saw a map of China.
There are many thumbtacks, one of which was inserted in the location of Kangcheng, leading a line to somewhere in the east of Xingtai City, Hebei Province, and then to somewhere in the northeastern suburbs of Xi'an. The junior had a dream last night, dreaming of a vast platform
, there are sand dunes on it. Only then did the junior remember that the thumbtack inserted in the eastern part of Xingtai City pointed to the Grand Platform of Guangzong County, where the sand dune palace of Qin Shihuang was located in ancient times, and the place where he died. And the northeast suburb of Xi'an
That piece of green is located on Lishan Mountain, where the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located."
Mr. Yu said: "I generally understand. What you mean is that Qin Shihuang was infected with the virus you mentioned in Kangcheng and entered a state of immortality. Like Shi Yiguang, he slept for more than two thousand years, and some people think
Want to resurrect him? But..."
I interjected: "The juniors also know that a map and a few thumbtacks alone cannot explain the problem. But the juniors are not making random guesses without any basis. I hope the two seniors can listen to what the juniors have to say before making a judgment. First of all, the juniors think
, Qin Shihuang was not infected with the virus, but he was deliberately inoculated with the virus. Because after listening to what you just said about Qin Shihuang’s five tours, I found that he really had a perseverance in the pursuit of immortality. He did not hesitate to spend all his money.
The whole country of China devoted all its efforts just to ensure his immortality. However, since he has such pursuit of immortality, why did he start building his own mausoleum just after he ascended the throne? Isn't this very contradictory?"
Mr. Yu nodded and said: "It is indeed a contradiction. However, Qin Shihuang was probably an idealistic yet very realistic person. On the one hand, he wanted to live forever, but on the other hand, he knew that this was impossible, so a red heart
, be prepared with both hands.”
I said "Yeah" and said, "What you said makes perfect sense. However, his first patrol in the northwest was actually to inspect the border and lay the groundwork for building the Great Wall; his fourth patrol incognito was only in the Gyeonggi area.
, in order to understand the sentiments of the people. The destinations of the other three real tours were all Langya, just to seek the elixir of life. However, why did you come specifically to Kangcheng, which was remote at that time, for the fifth time? In my opinion,
He had probably known about this 'specialty' of Kangcheng for a long time, so he built an unparalleled imperial mausoleum with many structures, not only to bury himself, but also to protect his body and ensure that he could survive the poison of Kangcheng.
After using special virus drugs, the corpse can survive for thousands of years and be resurrected at some time in the future."
The two seniors sat upright and listened quietly to what I continued to say.
I continued: "Of course, Mr. Yu is right. I also think Qin Shihuang was a man who was both idealistic and very realistic. But I learned from his treatment of the elixir of life and Kangcheng in the 'East China Sea Fairy Mountain'"
This is inferred from the attitudes towards these two very different drugs. Although I estimate that Qin Shihuang knew about this special drug in Kangcheng early and built an imperial mausoleum for it, in fact, he had no idea about this drug.
We will talk about the special interest and the reason in a moment. I think what Qin Shihuang was most interested in was actually the elixir of immortality from the Immortal Mountain in the East China Sea. Now that science is advanced, many people may not believe in the existence of this medicine, but in that era,
For Qin Shihuang, who had reached the peak of his career and was eager to live forever, the elixir of immortality still had great appeal to him. Moreover, not only him, but many people at that time believed in the existence of this medicine. It is no wonder that
Qin Shihuang would be so convinced of the existence of the elixir of life."
Mr. Yu was surprised: "Who else believes it?"
I smiled slightly and said, "The number one counselor in the Han Dynasty is Zhang Liang."
"Zhang Liang?" Master Xujian asked in confusion.
I nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Liang. The second time Qin Shihuang went to Langya to wait for the elixir, he was attacked by Zhang Liang on the way. But I think the attack itself was very strange. It was not because of anything else, but because of Zhang Liang who attacked him.
Liang was a very smart man. This man was extremely thoughtful in his work, otherwise he would not have become Liu Bang's first adviser and assisted him in conquering the Han Dynasty. (Of course, we can say that Zhang Liang had not yet encountered Qin Shihuang when he attacked Qin Shihuang.
Huang Shilao who gave him "Tai Gong's Art of War", but that book only increased Zhang Liang's knowledge, but could not change his consistent cautious character). So, why was such an extremely cautious Zhang Liang so stupid?
How about a sneak attack on Qin Shihuang who has dozens of auxiliary cars? He doesn't know which car is sitting with the real Qin Shihuang, so how can he guarantee that he can hit it with one hit?"
Master Xujian said: "What do you mean...?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, I think the second time Qin Shihuang went to Langya for a very clear purpose, which was to get the elixir of immortality. Zhang Liang's sneak attack on him in Bolangsha was not really about killing Qin Shihuang with one hit, but
He heard that the elixir of immortality was indeed real. If Qin Shihuang took it, wouldn't the world be under Qin Shihuang's cruel and ruthless rule for many years? So Zhang Liang presided over the sneak attack plan, with the purpose of scaring Qin Shihuang so that he would not dare to go east again.
He went to get the elixir. Later, his goal was realized: after Qin Shihuang was attacked, he returned to Xianyang and did not dare to leave the palace for many years. Of course, Qin Shihuang gave up his second eastward tour and was attacked just for one reason. He wanted to unify
Qin Shihuang, the world's first emperor, is naturally talented and strategic, and he is not a timid person. He may not be really afraid of Zhang Liang's death threat. But I estimate that Qin Shihuang and Xu Fu must have made an appointment at that time. If Xu Fu really found the elixir
, so he returned to Langya at this time and handed the medicine to Qin Shihuang. But later, the reason why Qin Shihuang returned to the dynasty was that in addition to the threat posed by Zhang Liang's sneak attack, the most important thing was that he heard that Xu Fu did not show up as promised.
s reason."
I took a sip of water and continued: "After Qin Shi Huang's setback this time, he waited and waited for news about Xu Fu, and was greatly disappointed with the claims of the Immortal Mountain in the East China Sea. So he reconsidered the kind of medicine that was produced in Kangcheng that can make people die without stopping.
He wanted to find a way to regenerate after decay. So he went around in a big circle under the guise of his fifth tour and came to Cannes specifically to look for this method. For him, this method was by no means the most ideal. Because while he was sleeping
During this period, many changes will occur in the world. If the body is destroyed, it cannot be resurrected. Even if it is resurrected after ten thousand years, its life will still not span a hundred years and it will eventually die. Therefore, I guess his psychological activities at that time should be like this: If
If you can find the elixir, it must be your first choice; if you can't find it, then you can only settle for the next best thing - a special product from Cannes, even if it costs half a kilo, there is nothing you can do."
Master Xujian and Mr. Yu couldn't help but smile when they heard what I said was interesting.
Mr. Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Young man, these speculations of yours sound like there are no loopholes. Since ancient times, historians of various schools have started from research data, but you have started from the psychology of the people at that time.
Motivation to start thinking about problems. In fact, life after death is scary, life after death is scary."
I cupped my hands and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. Qin Shihuang must have found a specialty of Kangcheng, but he didn't dare to drink it rashly. That's why on his fifth tour, he first went to Kangcheng to get the fake death medicine, and then went to Langya and other places.
Medicine for longevity. This third time he came to Langya, this may be his last glimmer of hope. You can imagine how disappointed he was when he faced the roaring sea water and did not see Xu Fu return to offer the medicine! Since he did not see Xu Fu return, he knew his destiny.
It was not long and could not be delayed any longer, so Qin Shihuang resolutely took the special product of Kangcheng and entered a state of suspended animation. The place where he took the medicine was probably the place where he fell ill - Pingyuanjin, or the place where he died.
————Dune Palace.”
Mr. Yu and Master Xujian stared at me. They may not be able to accept such bizarre and even unbelievable things for a while, but they were speechless to refute.
Mr. Yu suddenly said: "It's still wrong to talk about this. History books clearly record that after the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao and Li Simi did not mourn, but also got salted fish to cover up the smell of the corpse. Since you said that it was produced in Kangcheng
After taking this kind of virus, a person will be incorruptible for thousands of years, so why does Qin Shihuang’s corpse stink again?”
I nodded and said: "This is the most wonderful thing, and it is also the reason why Qin Shihuang is so talented and brilliant. He successfully used people's reverse thinking and reversed it again, causing everyone's misunderstanding and covering up
I understand the fact that I am not dead. Just listen to me slowly."
