"So, this is how Qin Shihuang sought immortality?" I was still silently digesting this seemingly indigestible but sudden information in my heart.
"Immortality? Haha, he is looking for death. It is said that in 220 BC, Qin Shihuang paid tribute to a brocade manuscript from the heritage site of the Chu Kingdom. The characters "Chu" were clear. From then on, the first emperor ordered the construction of those handed down buildings just mentioned , and sent a large number of people to various places to search for the way to immortality, but he did at least one thing wrong. His calculation of the celestial pole was in the wrong position."
He paused and continued: "Historical records show that in 215 BC, Qin Shihuang led a group of people across the Shanhaiguan Pass into what is now the northeastern part of Hebei Province. He observed the sky and the earth and searched for divination practices. He learned that this place was the ultimate place of heaven and earth. , but how did he know that this place later called Qinhuangdao was just the extreme end of his Great Qin territory. The real Feng Shui extreme was far from here, and the camps formed based on the acupoints and meridians here were naturally biased. The First Emperor I finally realized this and personally went on another patrol to find the celestial pole. However, I never expected that I would never be able to go back during this eastward patrol and died of illness in Hebei." The old man smoked his pipe, stopped, and looked at me.
"Old sir, the story you told is very exciting. So, is there really a way to immortality in this world?" Although I have experienced so much and heard about immortality, this is the first time I have heard about it. This time, what is the connection between this and the Zhangjia Drum Tower and Bronze Gate? , of course, after hearing this, if you want to uncover the truth, at least you don’t have to dig up Qin Shihuang’s tomb.
However, what this old fox knows can definitely solve all my mysteries. I really shouldn’t have left the fat man in Banai. If he were here, with his huge body, even without the stuffy oil bottle , maybe we can also tie up this old fox and torture him to extract a confession.
"There may be a way to immortality, but it is not the issue that you and I should discuss now. I have already given out the greeting gifts. There is tea here. If you like it, I will refill it for you; if you don't like it, haha, you are a Smart man, I know you will make a smart choice." A threatening tone filled the air between us.
"Have you seen that ancient ring before?", the old man asked directly without waiting for my reply.
That’s how the opponent’s offensive started. It was definitely too late for me to make up this lightning-fast question. Even if I did, it would be inconsistent with the preface and the follower. After thinking about it, besides Gu Huan, he , I won’t ask anything else.
“I once met a businessman in Guangxi and saw this thing, but because the asking price was too high, I hesitated. When I found out the age, I went to find the man again, but there was no trace. I didn’t expect it to be here. I came across this thing, so I wanted to buy it,” I joked.
"Guangxi, it seems that someone has really gone in there again", he seemed to be talking to himself, and suddenly looked at me warily, with a suspicious look, and I felt bad. .
"If a passerby was selling it to you, then he would naturally not know the secret of this ancient ring. How did you know the connection between this ancient ring and the astrolabe? You were not very interested in the astrolabe during the auction. No less than Gu Huan, so, young man, there can only be one answer to the matter, you are lying!" As he said, he slapped the table and stood up.
"Haha, old man, you don't need to go into details about how I saw this thing. I have indeed seen it, but if you ask me to tell you the details, if I don't feel the need to tell you, even if the knife holder is on my You can't even expect to get anything from your neck. In other words, I am a businessman. I only know how to exchange for equal value. And forcibly extracting a confession is what bandits do. Of course, if I really die here, , many secrets will disappear, and of course, many people you don’t want to see will appear.”
During these long periods of time, I have been making judgments about the old man's mentality. When confronting people, what we confront is the human heart, and force is the last resort.
This old man seems to be quite virtuous, but in fact, he has a lot of hidden concerns. Since he has some relationship with the Qi family, he cannot escape the righteousness of Laojiumen. Although what he says is clear and logical, it is also true and false. , it’s hard for me to tell. What he said seems to me to be a huge secret, but to him, maybe he thinks this is already known to everyone in the world. Since he has some scruples, then I You know, I have the capital to take advantage of his mentality, because I am fundamentally different from him. Although I don't know what he wants, what I want is very simple. I only want the part of the truth that I want to know.
"Do you really think I dare not touch you? Haha, young man, you can be very domineering now that you don't understand the origin of this ancient ring, but if you understand this ancient ring, you will know that today Your actions have brought about a fatal disaster for you. At that time, even if it wasn't me, someone would use pliers to open your mouth. Now, tell me what you know. At this level, I am actually Help you." The old fox's eyes lit up.
"No need, I said, I am a businessman, I only understand transactions, not coercion. In this case, I have made it clear that as long as I get the answer I want to know, I will also restore the original story of Gu Huan's experience to you". I said straight to the point.
Compared with him, I am very simple. The answer I want may be in his mind, but what he wants to know may not be something I can answer.
"You want to know about those two operations?". The old man lowered his head, picked up the brush and walked to the rice paper on the table sideways, speaking silently.
"Yes, as long as you tell me what is going on behind the scenes and what is the real answer to the matter, I will tell you what I have experienced without reservation." I guessed it right? Wrong, he really knows everything.
"Since you are seeking death on your own, I won't stop you, but before I answer you, tell me, have you already entered that ancient building?" As he spoke, he suddenly wrote down a The word "生".
