After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but sigh: "So that's it. It seems that the word 'longevity' is really worthy of its name."
Wen Qingshan continued: "According to historical records, people in this place have lived long lives since ancient times. There is a view that the reason why the locals live long lives may have something to do with external alchemy."
The so-called external alchemy refers to the refining of elixirs. I couldn't help but be slightly startled and said: "You mean, the locals have refined a longevity elixir that can make people live longer?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "Yes! And according to my speculation, this longevity pill that can prolong life is most likely related to Ba Widow Qing."
Hearing Wen Qingshan talk about this, I suddenly realized: "I understand, it is precisely because Ba Widow Qing refined the elixir that can make people live longer that she received the courtesy of Qin Shihuang."
"It is indeed possible. In short, in my opinion, the true identity of Ba Widow Qing is probably not just a businesswoman." After saying this, Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, let's not talk about this.
Well, let’s talk about Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum.”
"That's right! You just said that Qin Shihuang might have brought all the things related to the Dragon Armor Inscriptions into the mausoleum. According to this, if we want to understand the Dragon Armor Inscriptions, we can only dig Qin Shihuang's tomb!"
When Wen Qingshan heard this, he raised his head and laughed: "Haha! Shi Yu, are you kidding me? The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is a first-level cultural relic unit protected by the state. Let alone digging a grave, even if you just shovel a shovel of soil there, it will probably
Someone is looking for you. Besides, there is a layer of soil directly above Qin Shihuang's mausoleum that is hundreds of meters thick. Even if it is left open for you to dig, I'm afraid you won't be able to dig it out in a lifetime."
"Then what should we do? Could it be that the secret of Long Jiawen will never be solved?"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, that's not the case. When conditions are mature one day, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang will be excavated sooner or later."
I quickly asked: "Then when do you think the conditions will be mature?"
"It's hard to say. I guess I'll have to wait another thirty to fifty years!"
"What! Thirty to fifty years!?"
"Haha! I'm kidding you! To be honest with you, although we can't dig up Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, it's possible to sneak in."
"Sneak in? What do you mean? Is it possible, Boss Wen, that you have the ability to escape through the earth?"
Wen Qingshan glared at me: "I'm not a Tu Xingsun, so how can I escape through the earth?"
"Since you don't know how to escape through the earth, how can you sneak into the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "According to folklore, there is a secret path that leads directly to the inside of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. As long as we find this secret path, we can sneak into Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum without anyone noticing."
"
"Secret passage!?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and said: "According to folklore, after the construction of the Qin Mausoleum Underground Palace was completed, in order to prevent the secrets of the underground palace from being leaked, Qin Shihuang ordered all the craftsmen who mastered the core secrets to be executed. Almost no one could leave the underground palace alive. However, there was one
When an experienced old craftsman was recruited to build the imperial mausoleum, he had already thought about it.
At this point, when building the underground palace, he led a group of young craftsmen to secretly design a secret passage to the outside world, and finally escaped from the underground palace of the emperor's tomb through this secret passage. However, archeology
We have conducted many investigations based on this legend, but have never been able to find this legendary secret road."
"Since archaeologists have failed to find it after many inspections, maybe such a secret passage does not exist at all!"
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. Since it's a secret passage, it's naturally not that easy to find. In any case, I think we should go to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"Going to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum? When?" I asked immediately.
"This matter is not urgent at the moment. I have to find a friend to get some internal information first."
"What internal information?"
Wen Qingshan replied: "As far as I know, the relevant departments have conducted a comprehensive exploration of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum using remote sensing and geophysical prospecting methods. They should have a rough grasp of the structure of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. However, the exploration results have not been disclosed to outsiders.
I don’t know anything about it, so I have to ask a friend to help me get the relevant departments’ exploration data on Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum.”
"Is this friend of yours an insider?"
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly: "No! He is a businessman."
"Businessman? How did the businessman get the internal exploration data?" I asked in confusion.
"Haha, you don't know something. He is a businessman, but what he sells is not goods, but information, and his information is basically related to ancient cultural relics."
"Is there anyone who specializes in this business?" Not only was I a little surprised, I seemed to have only seen selling information in movies, and they were generally called information dealers. However, I had never heard of people who specialized in selling information on cultural relics.
Wen Qingshan said: "I have cooperated with him several times before. This person is very well-informed. No matter what information you want to get, as long as you can afford it, he can get it for you. And the accuracy rate is as high as 90%.
It’s just that the price he offered is not something ordinary people can afford.”
"Then how much do you think he will charge if we ask him for the exploration data of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?" I asked.
"This kind of data obtained from government departments is the least valuable to him. He shouldn't charge much money, only a few hundred thousand at most."
"Holy crap! Hundreds of thousands are not much!?" I was shocked.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, a few hundred thousand is already considered the cheapest. This is because I have helped him before, otherwise, he would never accept a business worth less than one million."
After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue. No wonder ordinary people can't afford the price he offered, which can easily cost hundreds of thousands to millions. I really don't know what this person will provide.
Such cultural relic information.
While I was thinking about it, Wen Qingshan said again: "In addition, I am looking for this friend and want to ask him about the secret passage of the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Maybe he can also provide me with some useful information. But this is
The price of information is probably not hundreds of thousands."
"Is it possible that it's worth millions?"
Wen Qingshan spread his right thumb and index finger apart, made a fist with the remaining three fingers, shook it in front of me, and said: "At least this number!"
This gesture means "eight", so I blurted out: "Does it cost eight million!?"
"No! It's eight digits!"
"What...what..." I was shocked and speechless. Eight digits meant tens of millions. To me, it was simply an astronomical number.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Don't be too surprised. If it is really the information about the secret passage of the Qinling Underground Palace, it will definitely be worth eight figures! According to records, there are countless treasures hidden in the Qinling Underground Palace. If you know this
If there is a secret passage, it is equivalent to getting the key to the underground palace."
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I thought it was right. The rare treasures in King Chuang's treasure were worth more than 10 billion. Since Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is known as the eighth wonder of the world, the value of the rare treasures in it may no longer be worth money.
To measure it, if you put it this way, the eight-digit "information fee" is really not expensive.
Wen Qingshan added: "However, my friend's whereabouts are mysterious. It can be said that it is difficult to contact him. I tried to contact him yesterday, but his mobile phone was transferred to voicemail. I called
He left a message. Based on past experience, he should take the initiative to contact me in as little as two or three days, or as long as ten and a half months. You should also prepare in the past few days. When I contact him, you will go with me.
Meet him."
When I heard this, I nodded immediately. It’s not that I was very interested in Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum. Relatively speaking, I was more interested in the friend Wen Qingshan mentioned that the dragon has never seen its head or tail.
It suddenly occurred to me that since this person claims to be able to provide information on various cultural relics, he might also have some knowledge of the dragon armor script. If he can help me unlock the mystery hidden in the animal bone plate, why should we bother?
How about sneaking into the underground palace of Qin Ling?
I expressed what I was thinking. But when Wen Qingshan heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "No! You must never let him know that you have such an animal bone plate in your hand!"
"Why?" I asked puzzled.
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said meaningfully: "Because, after all, he is just an information dealer."
"What do you mean?" I still didn't understand.
Wen Qingshan explained: "To put it bluntly, if you show him the animal bone plate, it will be another piece of information for him to sell. Moreover, he is a businessman and can make deals with anyone.
Even people in cults are not afraid of anything less than ten thousand, so we'd better be cautious."
It turns out that Wen Qingshan was worried that the secrets in the animal bone plate would be leaked. When I thought about it carefully, his worry was not unreasonable. The dragon armor inscriptions on the animal bone plate might hide some secrets, in case it attracted people from the cult.
It is not a good thing to pay attention to it. It seems that if you want to understand the true meaning of the Dragon Armor Script, you can only go to the Qinling Underground Palace. However,
It’s hard to say whether those dragon scales engraved with dragon armor are hidden in the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum. Moreover, it is also uncertain whether we can break into the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. We must first confirm the existence of a secret passage leading to the mausoleum.
That's fine. Therefore, we can only make a decision after getting the Qinling exploration data from the "intelligence dealer".
In the next few days, I quietly waited for this "information dealer" to take the initiative to contact Wen Qingshan. However, after waiting for several days, there was no news.
Because I was always thinking about Long Jiawen, I didn't have the time to go to the store. Every day, Tmall looked through various ancient books in Wen Qingshan's study, hoping to find some clues.
That day, I was lounging in the study when Fatty Niu suddenly ran upstairs and said out of breath: "Boss...Boss, do you know that there was a murder on Cultural Relics Street last night?"
