The Undying Chapter 9: Searching for the Old Land
"Has Xu Fu found the elixir of immortality?" I have some questions.
Master Liang said: "Xu Fu was originally a disciple of Guiguzi. Guiguzi's life was mysterious and had the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. If there is really someone in this world who can find the elixir of immortality, I think it should be his disciple...
.”
The jar said: "Then maybe Xu Fu took all the elixir of life himself? Then what are you looking for?"
"Then it's possible that there are still some left?" Master Liang said, "As long as this possibility exists, there will be people who want to give it a try."
"Is this why the crow and the toad came to us?" I said.
Master Liang said: "Instead of practicing year after year, it would be more direct to find an elixir of immortality. Although it is just a rumor, if it is true, wouldn't it be a hugely profitable business?"
We all nodded and agreed. This kind of thing is the same as buying a lottery ticket. Although the chance of winning is very small, if you win the big prize, it will really be a huge profit.
"There is one thing I don't quite understand. How did Black Xian'er and Qing Xian know that the breath left on the bronze furnace was Xu Fu's when they were children?" I asked Master Liang.
Master Liang smiled and said: "Don't forget, this is the place where Xu Fu went to sea, and there are still some objects with his aura left behind. Those wild fairies know this kind of thing better than us."
"Then why haven't these bronze furnaces been discovered by these fairies before?" I then asked.
Master Liang thought for a while before replying: "Perhaps because of its age, each bronze furnace does not carry much aura, so it did not attract others' attention. But now that the three furnaces are gathered together, the aura is certainly stronger.
..."
Then, Master Liang looked at the sky and said, "I think it's getting late now. Let's send Li Guozhong's body back so as not to miss the funeral tomorrow."
After that, Jarzi and I helped Master Liang carry Li Guozhong's body back.
On the way back, Tanzi asked Master Liang why the coffin was stagnant during Li Guozhong's funeral, and whether he really didn't want to be laid to rest.
Master Liang told us that it was just Qing Xianer's trick to blame the dead person, and then at night they would use the corpse to extract confessions from me and Jar Zi. Everything they did was to exaggerate the atmosphere of terror and try to get me
He was frightened by the jar and asked us to hand over the things as soon as possible.
When we returned Li Guozhong's body to the Li family, we found that Li Yuan and his cousin were still sound asleep, and we didn't even notice that his uncle's body was missing. Master Liang said that this was also a trick performed by Ye Xian'er, otherwise
No matter what, I couldn't have slept so soundly. This also reminded me that when Jar Zi and I came out, Li Yuan's parents were also sleeping very deeply. They didn't even respond to the loud crowing of frogs. They must have been caught in the wild.
Xian'er's technique.
The next day, Li Guozhong's coffin was delivered to the funeral on time. It arrived at the cemetery smoothly and was buried without any problems like yesterday.
After the funeral, Jarzi and I found Master Liang again, explained to him the purpose of our visit, and told him that the purpose of our trip was to find further clues about Xu Fu here.
Master Liang did not shirk it. He told us that the biggest connection between this place and Xu Fu is that he once set sail here.
"Anyway, the matter with Lao Li's family has been resolved. I don't have anything to do these two days, so I'll go look for it with you!" said Master Liang.
"Why do I have the nerve to bother you, old man?" I declined.
"It's nothing to worry about. To be honest, I also want to see what else Xu Fu has left here!" said Master Liang.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jar and I looked at each other, feeling a little worried. Master Liang wouldn't want to get a share of the pie. But think about it, this is not a treasure hunt or a tomb robbery. What's worth sharing?
Even if Master Liang knows the clues about Xu Fu, there is nothing to worry about. Knowing is one thing, but making up his mind to find it is another thing. Besides, he is still searching for something unknown.
We followed Master Liang around Xiushui Village in the past two days, but there weren't many clues. Later, Master Liang took us to the dock where Xu Fu went to sea. However, now it seems that this is just a beach, what?
No, the code from that year
With the passage of more than two thousand years, the head has long since disappeared.
The terrain of this beach is gentle, full of fine sand and gravel, and there are no obstacles. There are just a few huge rocks standing in the middle, which is a bit unsightly.
"Don't underestimate these stones," said Master Liang. "It is said that Xu Fu performed sacrifices and prayers on these stones before he went to sea."
"Oh, let's really take a look!" Now we must not let go of any possibility, so when we heard what Master Liang said, we immediately became interested.
When I got closer, I realized that these boulders looked very strange. There were three boulders in total. The one on the edge was about ten meters high and four or five meters wide. The inward side was very flat, like a mirror.
The same. The middle piece is very different from it, only more than one meter high, like a stone pier. The other piece is more than 20 meters high, looks like a table tennis racket, and like a peacock spreading its tail. But this "ping pong racket"
"But it's not complete. There are several small holes in the middle. The sunlight shines through several holes on the stone screen and falls on the stone platform in the middle.
"I guess when Xu Fu offered sacrifices back then, it must have been on the stone in the middle." The jar took one look and came to a conclusion.
"Oh, why?" I asked him.
"Because those two high ones are hard to get up to!" Jar Zi said naturally.
"Isn't this nonsense! Who is blind and can't see it, why do you need to say it?" Liang Youcai rolled his eyes at the jar and said. Liang Youcai has always been worried about the previous things, and he doesn't think much of me, but he always talks to the jar.
No matter what the forum says, he will always refute or ridicule. Of course, the forum will treat him the same way.
A few of us walked around the stone platform in the middle, but found nothing. Just when we were about to leave, Jar's sharp eyes saw that there seemed to be several small holes in the stone platform.
"What is this?" Jar Zi stepped forward to check and found that there were three small holes in the shape of an equilateral triangle, but they were sealed by soil and were difficult to see.
