Chapter 242: Deception

Lao Bai is definitely a man with five elements of bad morals, and his character is a mess. He is probably the only person in the world who regards insidiousness as a precious quality.

"Is this a sympathy between scums?"

Zhang Xinya sneered: "Or, like-minded?"

"..."

I opened my mouth and wanted to refute a few words. After all, it was my ancestor who did this. It is reasonable for me to stand up and say something. These two people are so arrogant and ridiculing, just digging up my ancestral grave layer by layer. But after a long time, I couldn't find any suitable reason to refute. There is no way, I am in the wrong. Everyone can see that my ancestor is probably not a good person. What else can I say? Anyone who wants to save face will always be defeated by the word "reason". In the end, I could only cough lightly to remind them a little, and immediately change the subject: "It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Lao Bai, don't keep us in suspense. Just say what you see."

Lao Bai smiled wickedly: "Are you sure you want to say that?"

My face turned black and I gritted my teeth and said: "It's not me who did it. What are you afraid of? Say it!"

Lao Bai stopped making jokes and said the above content seriously.

Queen Xin, as the person who knows this mysterious race best, almost completely changed the historical direction of this group. She is also the beacon of this group in the dark. When she died, the beacon went out and this group fell into confusion.

For a long time, they almost completely lost their direction. Their experiments are still going on, but there is no progress!

This is probably the most normal thing. Life is too precious. The word "eternal life" has attracted so many people to pursue it like moths to a flame, but who succeeded? Who in the world can really not die? In this kind of thing, success is an accident, failure is the norm, and accidents have never happened.

So, in the later period, this race began to look to the outside world, trying to study the secrets of some long-lived people in the outside world to inspire themselves, and even began to excavate some more peculiar ancient tombs, especially some legendary people, who were the focus of their attention.

Until the Spring and Autumn Period, the excavation of an ancient tomb made this almost crazy race completely boil!

Because all the clues in this tomb show that this is the tomb of Shennong.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and was the ancestor of China, the ancestor of medicine, and a famous long-lived person among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

In this tomb, they found many stone slabs with inscriptions, which were suspected to be Shennong's medicine classics.

How could this race not be crazy?

They felt that mastering Shennong's medicine classics would be of great help to their pursuit of longevity.

However, they did not recognize the words on these stone tablets at all, even the oldest wise man in the tribe knew nothing about it!

In order to decipher the contents recorded on the stone tablets, they had to leave the underground again and send many people out to find learned people.

The murals clearly recorded that they sent out a total of twelve people, and these twelve people came back not long after they went out, and the answers they brought back were surprisingly consistent - on a mountain not far from them, there lived a wise man, known as the Red Dust Immortal, who was the most learned and wisest person within a thousand miles, no one else! !

So, how did these twelve people get this answer?

After they left the underground, if they wanted to enter the villages and towns at that time, they had to walk through a long mountain road. In the process of their journey, they often met some characters like cowherds and woodcutters, and these people were all singing a folk song without exception, praising a great wise man in the song, teaching people the methods of increasing agricultural production, the way of numerology, etc., which was just like the legendary ancient sages! !

When these twelve people heard this, how could this be tolerated? Such a wise man is exactly what they need! !

Therefore, the status of the Red Dust Immortal in their minds was suddenly elevated! !

And this Red Dust Immortal was exactly the ancestor of my family! !

Coincidence or not?

There is no coincidence in this world. If it is so coincidental that it makes you doubt your life, it is probably a conspiracy! !

An inexplicable tomb buried the legendary ancestor of humanities.

Then there are all things that cannot be understood inside, and when you go out to ask, a learned wise man just pops up?

This is obviously a scam! !

The so-called Shennong Tomb should have been made by my ancestor. For a ritual official, isn't this a piece of cake? !

Then, he squatted there like a human being waiting for the fat sheep to come to his door. As for the cowherds and woodcutters in the mountains, you can know with your eyes closed that they are all f*cking shills! ! !

However, the reason why a trick is a trick is that it can be obtained without any effort, with low cost and high return. Isn't the cost of this trick a bit high?

Lao Bai was right. My ancestor was willing to spend a lot of money to cheat people...

In the end, this race still ran to find the Red Dust Immortal, but they finally grew up and worried that the Red Dust Immortal had learned all the contents on the stone tablet, so they only picked a very small part of it.

The Red Dust Immortal just took a look and said that it recorded a herb called Dream God. Eating it can communicate with gods and open up your spiritual wisdom.

The appearance of this "Dream God" herb was painted on the mural.

"Damn Dream God, I don't believe you, how can you be so bad!!"

Brother Yaozi took a look and immediately cursed: "This is fucking marijuana, something that harms people!!"

If Brother Yaozi hadn't said it, I really wouldn't know this thing!

For a moment, my expression became even more exciting. There are so many stone tablets. If you pick one at random, something harmful will come out of it?

It seems that the so-called mysterious words on the stone tablets were all scribbled by this Hongchen Immortal. No one knows it, so he can naturally close his eyes and talk nonsense to make this race go in the direction he specifies.

"This thing has a strong hallucinogenic effect. It has existed in ancient times!"

Brother Yaozi said: "In the past, some fortune tellers took this thing and had hallucinations, claiming that they saw gods. In the Shang Dynasty, this thing was called the dream god..."

Of course, this underground race didn't know how terrible this thing was, and they were actually looking for it with great interest, and finally they really found it.

One of them tried it, and instantly felt that he was the best in the world, saying that he saw the direction of immortality...

Of course, he was still a fool after waking up...

Because of this incident, Hongchen Immortal took the name of a learned man, and this race sent people to ask him for advice every now and then.

The Red Dust Immortal did indeed decipher these stone tablets for them, and found a lot of harmful things, all of which were regarded as divine by these idiots without exception...

Trust was accumulated slowly. Finally, they simply invited the Red Dust Fairy to visit them underground. This was completely open-hearted.

Generally speaking, excellent liars are favored by God. Not only are their IQs online, but their EQs are also exceptionally high. Unfortunately, God gave them the most perfect gift, but they used it to deceive people. This ancestor of my family was an extremely clever liar in every aspect. He must have both IQ and EQ. Suddenly, he came to such a relatively closed underground city. Naturally, he was like a fish in water. In almost the shortest time, he became a guest of honor in this underground city.

The best warrior at that time, the second prince regarded him as a close friend, and even a princess at that time favored him very much.

There are two murals to describe the popularity of this Red Dust Fairy in the underground city. This is already a very large space. Except for Queen Xin, no one else can occupy such a long space!

Looking at the second prince on the screen, my head was full of confusion. The one in the mercury sea was indeed the second prince!

According to the mural, the second prince was almost the most staunch supporter of Hongchen Xian, almost a brain-dead fan. No matter what Hongchen Xian did, the second prince was the first to jump out to support him. It was precisely because of the strong guarantee of this important figure that Hongchen Xian came into contact with the core rights of the underground city.

At this time, he finally began to intervene in the pursuit of immortality by this race.

The mercury sea was built under his instigation! !

Even I can guess his words.

Mercury was not just a heavy metal in ancient times, it was related to immortality!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the pursuit of immortality was extremely popular, so alchemy was all the rage!

And what is the main material for alchemy? It is mercury! !

The most popular "immortality" elixir Wu Shi San in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the main ingredient in it is mercury!

Building a sea of ​​mercury and pursuing immortality with this layout was an idea that was easy to convince others at the time, not to mention this group of people who have gone crazy in pursuit of immortality. Even if he went to tell the princes of various countries, they would definitely believe that the mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor also contains this ingredient? It carries the hope of the First Emperor's immortality!

"But here comes the problem."

Brother Yaozi frowned and said, "Mercury is highly toxic. Once it enters a relatively closed space like underground, it is a deadly weapon. But it says here that after the construction of this mercury sea, everyone had a magical feeling. No one died, but they trusted the ceremonial officer at that time even more, almost unconditionally!!"

"This is indeed a problematic place."

I thought about it and said, "What if Zhang Xinya's guess is correct? This mysterious race is really not human? But what kind of immortal people? Whether it is Queen Xin or their own longevity, it can explain a lot of problems.

Think about it, they lived underground at that time, so they should have a short lifespan, but they lived longer than people on the surface. Isn't this strange?

I can only say that they have problems themselves!

Also, this ancestor of my family is indeed a bit of a scapegoat. He laid out his plans layer by layer, approached them little by little, and plotted slowly. It is really insidious to say that he is insidious, but then again, what is the purpose of doing all this? People have to do something, it is impossible that he is idle!

The secular affairs of the ritual officer are just to bury people, but regardless of other things, since the ritual officer has gone to great lengths to approach them, I think they have certain problems themselves. "

What happened later was almost predictable.

After the construction of the Mercury Sea, the prestige of this Red Dust Immortal was unparalleled for a while. Some people thought that he could even rival Queen Xin. His personal portrait was painted here at that time. He was also the only outsider who entered their historical records after this mysterious race came to the East!

From then on, no matter what he said, he followed it completely.

He also looked like he was devoted to his work and would not stop until his death, and introduced another wise man to come here. This wise man was... Shi Kuang!!!

After countless estimates, Shi Kuang and he guided the people here to modify the scale of the underground city and re-plan it with Luoshu as the bureau!

"Murderous Feng Shui!"

I sighed softly. I had told Zhang Xinya before that Luoshu was originally a heavenly book, containing the changes of mountains and rivers. It was amazing and could suppress the dead! !

Because of this, I once suspected that this was a cage to imprison the dead!

Now it seems that this is not only a cage to imprison the dead, but also a layout to harm the living!

The reason is very simple. If this mysterious race is really an immortal, and mercury is helpful to them, then they have absorbed so much mercury, and in the end, won't they be suppressed here by Luoshu Bureau? !

Don't forget that mercury is yin! !

There is a lot of yin in the body, and Luoshu Bureau doesn't care whether you are dead or alive, this thing is to suppress yin! !

This ritual officer treated the living as dead and eventually built a cage to suppress the dead, killing them all!

This is the so-called Feng Shui of killing people. Killing people is bloodless, invisible and shadowless, and it is hard to prevent!!

With a step-by-step in-depth understanding, we are infinitely close to the truth.

This was originally an underground city, but the ritual officer and Shi Kuang teamed up to kill the whole city. Afterwards, they and the mountain people sealed it up, so there appeared all kinds of weird things we saw along the way. The entire ruins, the first half looks like a tomb, and the second half looks like a lost ancient city.

The murals stopped here.

Then there should be a terrible disaster. This place has become a dead place, and naturally no one comes here to leave any records.

"Shady or not? I'm just asking you if you are shady or not?"

Lao Bai smacked his lips and said, "When the etiquette official gets bad, there's really nothing bad about him. Now I finally understand why your family has fallen to this point. There are too many means, and it's hard to guard against them. And they are both good and evil. Look at Mr. Zhang, he is a decent and upright person. Although he protects his shortcomings, he is very sensible. Except for the obsession with Zhang Xinya, he is very positive at other times. I dare say that if we brothers really want to do something too immoral, he will be the first to clean up the mess. Then look at the etiquette official, he is really unscrupulous, no matter whether the purpose is bright or dark, just based on this unscrupulousness, I'm afraid most people can't tolerate it, at least they dare not associate with you..."

"There are still some unsolved problems..."

Brother Yaozi couldn't help but sigh: "The Undead... We know too little about them. Even Erya couldn't tell us the reason, so we naturally don't know why Li Guan and Shi Kuang were so scheming to exterminate them.

Also, according to Jingzhe, when the Luoshu Bureau was completed, Li Guan and Shi Kuang's goals would be completed, so what about the Langya ship floating on the Mercury Sea? Why did they go to the trouble of burying some of the people there? These are all questions!"

I nodded silently: "Something should have happened on the eve of the destruction of this underground city. Unfortunately, it was all in chaos at that time, and it was impossible to record anything on the murals. Even the behavior of Li Guan in destroying the underground city was not recorded on it..."

Not only that, Brother Yaozi once said that Shi Kuang's tomb had been broken open long ago, and Shi Kuang's body disappeared. This is not a secret in the industry, and it has even become a topic of gossip after dinner. The whereabouts of Shi Kuang's body has always been a mystery!

Since Shi Kuang was involved in this incident, all these things connected together can't help but make me imagine!

And what is the true identity of the legendary fairy?

She controlled Cheng Yi and Hu Wa and did so many things. Why? She has not shown up until now. What killer is she brewing?

There are too many questions, and these unsolved things make me feel very uneasy, and even feel that... a huge crisis is brewing...

Unfortunately, these are unsolvable, at least, for us now.

I sighed, pulled the backpack on my body, and went out of the cave: "Let's go, we will fight against the enemy and cover the water with earth. Who cares? Let's go to Queen Xin's memorial tower first and get what we are looking for!"
