"I see that Gang Leader Lu also comes from a wealthy family. I wonder if he has ever read a book?"
After negotiating the terms, the two sat down, and Master Yi asked this seemingly irrelevant question.
Lu Hanjiang leaned back slightly and smiled slightly: "Of course I have read it. Although I have joined the world now, I am not an ignorant and reckless man. This is what Master Yi wants to say."
"That's good," Master Yi nodded slightly, stroking his beard and said, "In that case, I don't know if Gang Leader Lu has read the Historical Records. There is a record in the Chronicles of the First Emperor. In the twenty-eighth year of the Emperor's reign, Qi people such as Xu Shi and others wrote a letter, saying that there were three things in the book.
Sacred Mountain——"
"Peng Lai, Abbot, Yingzhou," Lu Hanjiang blurted out the names of the three legendary mountains, and said impatiently: "If Master Yi wants to tell the story of Qin Shihuang's quest for the elixir, there is no need. I have already known it.
"
There are countless people who have pursued immortality since ancient times, but the most famous one is the First Emperor's quest for elixir. Not only did he send alchemists to go to sea to search for immortal mountains, but he also built a large boat and recruited thousands of boys and girls to go with him. The momentum can be said to be unprecedented throughout the ages.
The best.
To this day, ministers write letters to admonish emperors and often tell stories about the First Emperor's quest for immortality.
"Gang leader Lu is indeed knowledgeable." Master Yi was not angry at Lu Hanjiang's attitude. Instead, he asked calmly: "Then do you know what happened to the alchemist later?"
"Either sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, or flee to some island to avoid death." As he said this, Lu Hanjiang became interested and couldn't help but ask: "Why, Master Yi seems to have other ideas?"
Xu Shi - that is, Xu Fu. There have been different opinions about his whereabouts since ancient times. There are limited records in historical records, and there is also a slight mention in the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms. Some say that he went to Chanzhou, some said that he went to Yizhou, but in short he did not come back.
.
Alchemists were prevalent in the pre-Qin period, and Xu Fu was the most famous among them. His stories have always been very popular. As a powerful figure who dared to deceive an emperor throughout the ages, Lu Hanjiang also admired him.
"Can Leader Lu believe that there are fairy mountains overseas?" Master Yi asked pointedly.
"I don't believe it." Lu Hanjiang replied quickly without any hesitation.
Master Yi's eyes opened and closed, and he kept looking at Lu Hanjiang. After a long time, he said: "Brother Lu is right. There are indeed no fairy mountains overseas. When Xu Fu went to sea, he searched for it for a long time but failed, so he had to lie to His Majesty the Emperor.
, but he knew very well that this plan could not last long, and when the First Emperor's patience ran out, it would be his death."
As he spoke, Master Yi paused slightly, glanced at Lu Hanjiang, and continued: "At this moment, a man gave Xu Fu an idea, asking him to pretend to be a sheep and go to sea, but in fact, he was cheating. So Xu Fu told the emperor about overseas affairs.
The Immortal Mountain has been found, but there are immortals living on the Immortal Mountain, and boys and girls who need gold, silver, and treasures believe that they can obtain immortality by offering them as offerings. The First Emperor believed in this and found him three thousand boys and girls, plus countless other goods.
"
Speaking of this, Master Yi once again let out a hoarse laugh and said: "When Xu Fu went to sea again, he did not go eastward, but all the way south. He took all the property and boys and girls given to him by the emperor.
He kept it for himself and then disappeared.”
Lu Hanjiang's reaction was very dull. He said: "The ending of the legend mentioned by Master Yi is not unexpected. So, what does this have to do with the Huo family's heirloom?"
"Of course it's relevant. The first thing I want to tell Gang Leader Lu is that the story I just told is not just a legend."
Master Yi's eyes suddenly burst into light. He stood up slowly. It was hard to imagine that an old man with a broken arm, a lame leg and white hair and beard could have such bright eyes.
Just listen to him say solemnly and powerfully: "What Xu Fu took away back then was a treasure that truly made the country extremely rich. Among the treasures that the First Emperor gave her as a tribute to the immortals, in addition to gold and jewelry, there were countless treasures. The First Emperor attacked the Six Kingdoms
Seventy-eight out of ten rare things obtained by the country are among them."
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly and sat upright: "Master Yi, don't tell me that the Huo family's heirloom is the legendary treasure left by Xu Fu?"
"Of course not," Master Yi said with a sarcastic smile: "If the Huo family had such a terrifying treasure, how could they possibly live safely to this day?"
Lu Hanjiang thought about it, so he returned to his lazy look, leaned back on the chair, and said calmly: "In that case, why is Master Yi telling this old story to me here?"
"Gang Leader Lu is quite impatient."
Master Yi smiled, but continued to tell the story: "Thousands of years ago, Xu Fu took away this huge wealth, hid in the mountains, and raised three thousand boys and girls.
He drove them as slaves and built a huge palace for himself to enjoy himself. After half a life of happiness, before his death, he sealed the door of the palace and asked everyone to accompany him to be buried in an attempt to continue enjoying himself underground.
"
Lu Hanjiang clicked his tongue twice: "It sounds like a story about a tyrant."
Master Yi chuckled without comment, and continued: "The First Emperor is dead, and the Qin State is also destroyed. Now Xu Fu is dead, and three thousand boys and girls are buried with him. No one will pay attention to their stories anymore, but there is someone who knows everything.
The person who is still alive is the person who gave Xu Fu this idea."
Lu Hanjiang touched his chin: "It seems you said there was such a person, so what did he do? Dig out Xu Fu's treasure again?"
Master Yi shook his head slightly: "That man didn't do anything. He just recorded the location where Xu Fu buried the treasure, and then gave it to a family, asking them to keep the secret and pass it on from generation to generation until God wants to let it go.
The day it reappears."
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows. He had heard this routine almost twice. The next step was a familiar operation, so he directly asked: "Then what you want to say is that the family's surname was Huo.
no?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...Haha."
Master Yi smiled very strangely. He stared straight at Lu Hanjiang with his eyes and said word by word: "No, that family's surname is Zhong."
Lu Hanjiang was slightly startled, and then Master Na Yi added meaningfully: "It's Zhong Wumeng's bell."
"Guest of the Red World, Zhong Wumeng...it's him."
This did not surprise Lu Hanjiang. He looked at Master Yi and asked with interest: "Since this is the story of the Zhong family, what role does the Huo family play in this?"
Master Yi lowered his eyes, with some memories in his eyes, and said: "A hundred years ago, the owner of Zhujian Villa saved a member of the Zhong family by chance. They had the same spirit and became sworn brothers.
, and after learning this huge secret from the Zhong family members...the head of the Huo family killed the Zhong family brothers, took away the map recording the buried treasure, and slaughtered the entire Zhong family."
"Tsk, tsk, so the Huo family is indeed not a good person. Huo Tianya can't be considered as dishonoring the reputation of our ancestors." Lu Hanjiang shook his head: "It's just that the root of the weed has not been eradicated, and Zhong Wumeng's lineage is still alive.
Come down."
Master Yi closed his eyes and said: "Although Zhong Wumeng survived, he has nowhere to learn the secret of the year. Even if he only learned a few words from his father and grandfather... No, I am afraid that his father and grandfather
I know very little about it, otherwise I wouldn’t have let him come to the house with that fake blueprint to ask for a sword.”
"Drawings? Wait, what's fake?" Lu Hanjiang was stunned.
With a specious chuckle, Master Yi opened his eyes slightly and said: "If you want to find Xu Fu's treasure, in addition to a map describing the location, you also need three keys to open the door to the treasure, and
The prototypes of these three keys are three special weapons, and the blueprints for casting them are also one of the secrets kept in the hands of the Zhong family."
