Chapter 80 Mysterious Altar

"Scared me, scared me!"

Chen Shu looked disgusted and kicked his foot.

"Go back and lose weight quickly!"

Yu San nodded vigorously.

"Go back and reduce it, go back and reduce it!"

When he came out this time, he suffered a lot just because he was fat, and almost lost his life several times.

By the way, not only to lose weight, but also to learn to swim!

After calming down, Gu Xiaoning looked around and found that this was another cave.

Compared with the cave with the boys and girls hanging there just now, this place is obviously much more ordinary. There is a stone platform in the innermost part of the cave, with an incense burner on it, and some tributes that have already dried up. There is nothing else. If you guess correctly, this should be an altar.

Gu Xiaoning stepped forward and found that there was a relatively small table on the stone platform. There was a brocade box on the table. The whole body of the brocade box was black, with intricate patterns carved on it.

A strange fragrance suddenly wafted over, Gu Xiaoning shrugged his nose, observed carefully for a moment, and found that the fragrance most likely came from the brocade box.

The pattern on this brocade box also bears the rhyme of hieroglyphs, so one can tell at a glance that it must be something from the Qin Dynasty.

From this, it can be deduced that the things in the box belonged to the Qin Dynasty. It has been kept here for 2000 years, but it still has a fragrance. I don't know what it is.

Others quickly discovered this, and Yu San was eager to find treasure, so he walked over with a limp.

"Brother Gu, what is so fragrant? Open it and have a look."

Before Gu Xiaoning could speak, he strode forward and stretched out his hand to the brocade box.

At this moment, the black hat suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Yu San stopped and looked at the black hat.

"what happened?"

"Don't move yet, maybe there is a trap."

Along the way, they had encountered so many institutions, but every time Yu Sanyi saw something related to money, he could quickly forget about it.

Now that he was reminded by the black hat, he reacted again, retracted his hand with lingering fear, and took a few steps back.

But the brocade box was so attractive, he didn't get anything in the tomb just now, and he always felt a little pity.

"Look, it's quiet here. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"It's never wrong to be careful, first check if there are any traps, if there are no traps, then open the brocade box."

Yu San agreed without saying a word, and quickly followed the black hat to find the mechanism.

Gu Xiaoning and Chen Shu also joined them, carefully observing and groping beside the altar.

This altar is so simple that it can almost be described as shabby.

Except for the incense burner and incense case and the tribute brocade box, there is nothing else.

But the cave is well developed, the walls are smooth, and the rooms are boxy. It doesn't look like it's in the wild, but it looks like it's in a tomb.

Gu Xiaoning has a strong feeling in his heart, the more this kind of place seems to have nothing, the easier it is to hide something extraordinary.

He looked carefully and found that there seemed to be writing on the wall.

No one has been here for a long time. Some words are simply carved on the black stone wall, and there is a thick layer of dust. If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to see.

Gu Xiaoning took off his tattered coat and used it as a rag to wipe the wall. After the dust was wiped off, the words on the wall became much clearer.

It is still pictographic ancient classical Chinese without punctuation marks, Gu Xiaoning can only understand a few words in it, and it is impossible to connect them together.

In desperation, I had to ask for help again.

"Mr. Zhuge?"

The benevolent Zhuge Kongming walked out of the system again.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Help me see, what is written on the wall?"

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang took a few steps out of the void, stood in front of the stone wall and read for a while, and quickly understood the meaning.

"My lord, this is a confession."

"Confession?"

Gu Xiaoning wondered for a while, this place should be a place of sacrifice, how could someone write a confession here?
"Yes, it seems that it should be written by the owner of the tomb, which is equivalent to the list of teachers written by the old minister."

Zhuge Liang thought he didn't know what the confession was, so he explained it in detail.

"I know this, you just tell me, what is written on it?"

"The owner of the tomb made a statement to the emperor, saying that he was ashamed of the emperor's entrustment. Although he found the elixir of life, the emperor has already passed away, so he came here to plead guilty..."

Zhuge Liang's words continued, but Gu Xiaoning had heard some clues.

There were only two emperors in the Qin Dynasty, and the one who sent people out to find the elixir of life must be Qin Shihuang.

"Wait a minute, the owner of the tomb, is it Xu Fu? The one who helped Qin Shihuang find the fairy medicine with boys and girls?"

Zhuge Liang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Exactly, my lord is wise."

Gu Xiaoning suddenly understood all the clues before and after.

After connecting them all together, I found that my guess was really good.

The owner of the tomb is from the Qin Dynasty, and the murals are of an old man and a hundred children. In the cave where the Four Saints steal spirits, there are even hundreds of corpses of boys and girls hanging.

There is also the writing on the wall outside the main hall. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, I just thought it was a story of a high-ranking official. After all, there were too many people who wanted to live forever in ancient times.

Now that I think about it, that passage is actually about Xu Fu, who practiced alchemy all his life. Once he entered the palace, he was appreciated by the emperor, and then he stayed in the palace, specializing in alchemy for the emperor. Elixir.

There are countless people who searched for immortal medicines for the emperor in history, but in the Qin Dynasty, Xu Fu was the only such person.

However, according to historical records, after Xu Fu left with boys and girls, he never came back. There are different opinions about Xu Fu's whereabouts. The real facts have been lost in the dust of history.

After confirming the identity of the owner of the tomb, Gu Xiaoning had doubts.

"Didn't Xu Fu take boys and girls to look for immortal medicine? He said that these children can be exchanged with gods for the elixir of life. Why are those children hanging in the cave?"

"My lord doesn't know that Xu Fu did go to Penglai with boys and girls, but he failed to bring back the elixir. He knew that he couldn't do business like this, and he was ashamed of his trust in the emperor, so he didn't go back to the palace. Those children continue to search outside, Xu Fuben is old, and his health is getting worse day by day in the past three to five years, but the children are still young, and their life expectancy is still very long."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoning understood something.

"Could it be that...in order to complete the task Qin Shihuang gave him, he used magic to prolong his life?"

Saying this, Gu Xiaoning himself felt weird.

If this is the case, Xu Fu is really stupid and loyal. How innocent are those children?
