Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 747 The Last Thought (4000)

"Call girl?"

Aware of this problem, thinking that anything could happen on this island whose understanding is still relatively limited, Wu Liang hastily called out in the direction the witch Hu was going just now.

"Call girl...girl...mother...mother..."

The echo that gradually made Wu Liang speechless echoed in the empty underground palace and passage, but until the echo completely disappeared after a few seconds, there was still no response from Miko Hu.

"?"

Wu Liang immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Just now when the maiden called to go to the bathroom, he specifically told him not to go too far, and just keep out of sight in front of an honest gentleman like him, so that if there is nothing wrong, the two can take care of each other.

And the witch is not an ignorant person, so she shouldn't be joking at this time.

Think so.

Wu Liang had no choice but to temporarily put the rest of the bamboo slips aside, stood up and looked in the direction the witch Huqian was going, and called out louder: "Miss Hu, are you still there?"

If this did not get a response from Miko Hu, Wu Liang had no choice but to raise his vigilance and take a copper dagger to check the situation.

Also at this time.

"I... I am here!"

Finally, the slightly embarrassed voice of the witch came from the passage not far away, "Wu Taishi don't have to worry, I'm right here, it's just possible... It may take a while, please take care of Wu Taishi."

Hearing the witch's response, Wu Liang finally calmed down, thinking that maybe the girl's common relative had come, and said with a smile: "It's good if you're still here, I thought something happened, It's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll just read books and wait here."

"Thank you Taishi Wu."

The witch echoed.

Wu Liang shook his head with a smile, and once again put his mind on the remaining bamboo slips.

At the same time, Wu Liang also had some doubts about the actual content of "Yangshenzhi Tongyao". Maybe he misunderstood it. When he first saw the name, he thought that what was recorded in it was mainly researched by Xu Fu. Some of the properties related to "Yangshenzhi".

However, now there are only seven volumes of "Yangshen Zhi Tong Yao", he has read four volumes in a row, and there are only a few records about the characteristics of Yang Shenzhi, and most of the records are carved on stone slabs by "Lu Kuo" The content does not count as the relevant research results of Xu Fu.

The space of the remaining three volumes is limited, if Xu Fu really has any research on Yangshenzhi, I am afraid it will be difficult to write in great detail, right?
Even if someone told him that the book was actually called "The Essentials of Raising Shenzhi - Preface", Wu Liang felt that there was no problem. Isn't it about Xu Fu's process of discovering Yangshenzhi?
With this in mind, Wu Liangtan opened the fifth volume of bamboo slips.

The book continues from the previous volume:

After taking the black soil and feeling refreshed, Xu Fu and everyone believed that the content Lu Kuo carved on the stone slab was the truth, so they regarded this black soil as a rare treasure.

So he hurriedly went to the thatched hut where Lu Xie used to live to find a still intact clay pot, and put all the black soil in front of him into it, intending to take it outside to bring longevity to the elders in the clan.

Even in order to prevent the seawater from soaking the black soil when they left, they even specially found some leaves, hay and mud to reconcile, and made a rather tight seal for the clay pot, and put it in the sun until it was sealed. After the mud dries up, go back into the water and return the same way.

while waiting.

Xu Fu and the others were not idle either, they were divided into several groups and continued to explore other places on the island.

After such an investigation, we came to a conclusion: if this island does not have this jade mountain, no cultivation of Shenzhi, and no vision of turning the world upside down, it is actually not much different from ordinary islands. Animals, vegetation, birds, Insects... Although some things are not common, there are also things that are not found in the outside world.

In this way, it was delayed for several hours. While waiting for the mud to dry, they even had the leisure to sharpen the branches and make a few harpoons, and ran to the seaside to insert a few fat fish and catch them together. Sitting under the shade of a tree and enjoying a seafood barbecue feast, those who didn't know thought they were actually here for leisure and vacation.

So because of the delay during this period of time, they were extremely happy and sad.

in the process of returning.

Xu Fu and the others surfaced quite smoothly out of the deepest pool of the ghost cave, and the dolphins in the pool enthusiastically gave them a ride, but when they couldn't leave the ghost cave and were still several miles away from the entrance, But the sea water rose back, submerging the entrance of the ghost cave in the blink of an eye.

They were instantly caught in a dilemma.

In the future, there will be tens of miles away from the water pool, and it is impossible to return to Zuzhou in one breath.

Even if the group of dolphins were eager to help, it would be impossible to lift them out of the water to take a breath in the ghost cave, not to mention that the dolphins are not small, and it is difficult to move freely in this relatively narrow ghost cave.

Going forward, the journey of several miles is no joke.

What's more, the sea water has poured into the ghost cave, they can only go upstream against the current, and it is an upstream that cannot be resisted by manpower. The journey of several miles is also a natural barrier for them.

Xu Fu and the others fell into despair instantly.

However, what was even more desperate was that before they even had time to communicate, a large amount of seawater had already poured in and completely filled the ghost cave, without even giving them a chance to say goodbye.

finally.

Xu Fu was the only one who came back alive.

In desperation, he quickly grabbed the sealed clay pot containing black soil, and tied the pot to himself before losing consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was lying on the beach at the foot of Yuzhou Mountain.

Xu Fu is also not sure how long he stayed underwater, let alone how he floated out from the entrance of the ghost cave, and finally the one who floated here survived... He only knew that he was the only one on the beach at the moment. Others are probably more ill-fortune than good.

Xu Fu stumbled and walked on the beach in a daze, looking for the boat they had docked at the foot of Yuzhou Mountain.

Soon, they met people from the tribe who had not heard from them all day and night, and came to look for their traces. They helped Xu Fu onto the boat, and they also brought the clay pot that he refused to let go, and asked about the whereabouts of others. Xu Fu only said that when they were rushing to the sea, they encountered a sudden high tide, and it was too late to return to the shore. However, many fierce sharks came and attacked them in the high tide, and those tribesmen might have died in the bottom of the sea.

The clansmen naturally have some doubts.

They have lived by the sea for generations, and they are very familiar with the sea area of ​​this generation. It is impossible for ordinary high tides to pose any threat to them. Even if there are sudden high tides and waves, there must be signs, and they can detect them in advance... ...As for the mackerel, it is indeed not an overlord of the sea that can be resisted by manpower. If it really encounters a mackerel when it falls into the water, then it will indeed be a blessing for itself.

And in this situation, Xu Fu is the patriarch.

The clansmen couldn't say much, so they could only take the dying Xu Fu back to recuperate.

Later, this matter was suppressed by Xu Fu, and all the missing people were ordered to go to the sea to search for the immortal medicine for Qin Shihuang. The martyrs who died in the attack of the sharks, their families received a very generous pension, and the money was naturally from the treasury. Coming out, it can be regarded as a good way to appease the mood of those family members.

As for Yangshenzhi and the pot of black soil that Xu Fu brought out of Zuzhou, he took it as his own.

Of course he would not give such a precious treasure to Qin Shihuang.

As a descendant of the Qi State, Qin Shihuang is his enemy both emotionally and in fact, not to mention that the search for immortal medicine itself is a "scam", even if he has found a rare treasure that can teach people longevity, It can't change the fact that this is still a "scam" against Qin Shihuang.

at the same time.

His "escape plan" is still being implemented in secret. When the right time comes, he will flee to Japan without hesitation and completely escape Qin Shihuang's control. Otherwise, when Qin Shihuang loses patience completely, it will be the day of his death.

For this reason, he had to do many things to deceive Qin Shihuang, otherwise it would be impossible to escape.

This "escape plan" was given by his master Gui Guzi. The Tian family must be kept in the dark, and the clansmen must also be kept in the dark.

And in the process of waiting for the opportunity.

Xu Fu still often went to Yuzhou Mountain to investigate, looking forward to the reappearance of that ghost cave, and also looking forward to being able to enter the ghost cave again and see those clansmen who stayed in the ghost cave.

He once thought that maybe those people did not die like Lu Dai's son Lu Kuang, but were trapped and settled down in Zuzhou. Maybe they could come out of the ghost cave when the tide receded and the ghost cave appeared next time.

Unfortunately, for several years in a row, that ghost hole never reappeared.

at last.

The "mirage" presided over by him is about to be completed, and there is bad news from Guiguzi. Qin Shihuang's health is deteriorating, and a secret edict is issued to Li Si at a dinner party. The content of the secret edict seems to refer to Xu Fu's search for Shenzhi .

Xu Fu knew in his heart that if this was true, then his good days might come to an end soon.

So Xu Fu hastened the end of the "phantom".

He also wrote a letter to Qin Shihuang to apply for more supplies, plus the possible use of craftsmen, books, seeds that he had collected over the years, and those batches that seemed to be for the sake of immortality, but in fact they were to become his food after arriving in Japan. The boys and girls of the town, as well as some clansmen mixed in, chose a good day to make a big deal out of it, held a grand ceremony to go out to sea, and then went straight to the Wa Kingdom with "Yangshenzhi" and Heitu without looking back. go.

……

The process of this voyage was actually not smooth.

Needless to say the details, in short, when Xu Fu set foot on the land of the Wa Kingdom, only one-third of the people were still alive, and the supplies he brought were almost exhausted, and the "mirage" was already riddled with holes. May go to sea again.

But it's finally here.

For the aborigines of the Wa Kingdom, Xu Fu's arrival is completely a blow to dimensionality reduction.

Religion, medical care, culture, agricultural technology, pottery skills, iron skills... In short, in all aspects, the Qin Dynasty completely crushed the poor and backward Wa country.

Therefore, Xu Fu gained a firm foothold on this land with little effort, and communicated with the local aborigines in a way similar to missionary work, and easily became the god in the hearts of the aborigines of the Japanese country—the ancestor god.

It has been many years since everything has stabilized, Xu Fu is also getting old, and many things have become powerless.

At this time, he took out the black soil brought back from Zuzhou again.

The effect of the black soil is immediate. Every time you take it, you will be energetic and radiant, and you will feel as if you have returned to your youth, light and vigorous.

At first, however, the effect of the black soil lasted for several months.

After a few months, he will return to the decayed state that he should have at this age, and he will have to take black soil again.

Gradually.

The effect begins to shorten, March...two months...January...

In the end, Xu Fu even needed to take black soil every ten days, otherwise it would be very difficult to just start from bed, but at that time he was already 97 years old.

Sometimes even if he insisted on not taking the black soil, he would feel that the joints all over his body became extremely stiff, and there would be a "creaking" friction sound when he moved slightly, and once he took the black soil, the stiffness would disappear. Disappeared immediately, and no longer made any noise.

that's it.

Most of the black soil in that clay pot was consumed within a few years.

Xu Fu knew that going on like this was not the way to go, he needed black soil, so he paid attention to Yang Shenzhi, and he had brought back a leaf of Yang Shenzhi, maybe using this leaf, he could get a steady stream of black soil.

However, the leaves of Yangshenzhizhi have withered and yellowed after many years, and they will break if touched lightly. When it is carefully placed on the face of the corpse, the corpse cannot sit up immediately, and it seems that it has completely lost the legendary "living person" effect.

He has only two options now:

One is to wait for the black soil to be exhausted, to die like what was written on the slate left by Lu Kuo, and turn into a pile of broken stones;

The second is to go back to Zuzhou again and get more black soil to prolong your life. As for how long it can last, it is still unknown. After all, it was written on the stone tablet that black soil can only make people live longer, not Make people live forever.

Actually lived to his age.

He is no longer so attached to life and death. Compared with this life that has not much time left, he wants to go to Zuzhou again, to see through all the doubts that were not clear last time, and to take a look at the ghost that was left in the ghost cave. Whether the people of the tribe survived, and to find out what this black soil is... This is the last thought of his life, and he hesitates.

Just in time.

He got an unexpected piece of news that the Qin Dynasty perished after only 14 years, and Qin Shihuang died suddenly in the year he left.

Now after the war, the Celestial Dynasty was once again unified, and the current name of the Celestial Dynasty is Han.

This news immediately activated the last thought in Xu Fu's heart!
