After listening to what Long Jiu said, Wen Qingshan asked in confusion: "If this is the case, it means that the elixir of immortality was not refined at that time. Why did you go to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, Mr. Jiu?"
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It is true that the elixir of immortality was not refined at that time. However, the relatives of the important person who passed away because of taking the elixir secretly copied the secret recipe left by An Qisheng. His descendants
People continued to refine elixirs according to this secret recipe, and finally made a magical elixir that can prolong life."
Hearing Long Jiu say this, Wen Qingshan seemed to understand something and said: "Master Jiu, could the important person who passed away because of taking the pill be Ba Widow Qing?"
"Brother Wen San is worthy of being a master of history. This person is none other than Ba Widow Qing!"
I was a little surprised, I really didn’t expect Ba Widow Qing to be related to the legendary elixir of immortality.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "In other words, the secret recipe provided by An Qisheng was indeed able to refine the elixir for longevity, but why did Widow Ba Qing take the elixir refined according to this recipe?
After taking the medicine, not only did the condition not improve, but he died within a few days?"
Long Jiu replied: "That's because the alchemists who made alchemy at that time were short of the most important medicinal materials. Because it was difficult to find them, they used century-old wild ginseng instead. Unexpectedly, Ba Widow Qing was too ill and could not replenish her deficiency.
Instead, I wasted my life.”
Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "What medicinal materials are missing?"
Long Jiu said: "It's a thousand-year coffin mushroom!"
"Thousand-year-old coffin mushroom!?" I blurted out in surprise. I never expected that the thousand-year-old coffin mushroom can not only drive away drought and zombie poison, but also has the effect of prolonging life.
Wen Qingshan's face also showed a look of shock. Long Jiu glanced at him and asked: "Don't you, Brother Wen, want to know how I know that there is a thousand-year coffin mushroom in this secret recipe?"
"Yes! Since it is a lost secret recipe, how did you know about it, Master Jiu?"
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, this secret recipe is in my hands now!"
"What! Are you saying that the secret recipe for refining the elixir of immortality is in your hands, Master Jiu!?" Wen Qingshan said in shock.
Long Jiu nodded.
"Since you already have the secret recipe for alchemy, why do you still want to go to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?" I asked puzzledly.
Long Jiu glanced at me and said: "Although I got the secret recipe! But in fact it is not the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, but only the elixir of longevity. Because Ba Widow Qing's relatives secretly copied the recipe.
At that time, because I was too nervous, I missed a few of the most important medicinal materials. Without these medicinal materials, it would be impossible to refine the elixir of immortality."
Hearing Long Jiu say this, Wen Qingshan suddenly understood: "In other words, Lord Jiu, you want to enter Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum to find the complete secret recipe of the elixir of immortality."
"That's right! After the death of Qin Shihuang, all the secret recipes and utensils for alchemy were buried with him as burial objects. Therefore, if you want to get the complete secret recipe for the elixir of immortality, you can only go to Qin Shihuang's mausoleum." Long.
At this point, Jiuhua suddenly changed the topic and said: "Brother Wen San, I have told you a lot today, and the value of this information is not cheap."
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, Master Jiu, are you trying to collect money from me?"
"No! I give you this information for free, and I can also give you the information you want or even more information, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What conditions?" Wen Qingshan asked hurriedly.
Long Jiu did not answer Wen Qingshan immediately, but raised his head and said to the fat-headed man who had been standing silently aside: "Ah Bao, go and call Jiansheng."
The fat man nodded, turned around and walked out of the house.
After a while, a burly young man with a stern face walked in. The young man glanced at Wen Qingshan and I. The moment I made contact with his eyes, I couldn't help but shudder in my heart. I felt
There seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The young man nodded slightly towards Long Jiu and called softly: "Father!"
Long Jiu introduced to Wen Qingshan and me: "This is my adopted son, Long Jiansheng."
Wen Qingshan and I hurriedly stood up and said hello to Long Jiansheng, but he still maintained a stern face, looking very indifferent.
I didn’t understand why Long Jiu called his adopted son over. Long Jiu smiled and said: “Brother Wen San, even if you don’t admit it, I know that you came to me to get the survey information about Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum.
I have no intention of stopping you from exploring this imperial mausoleum, but my condition is that Jiansheng will go with you."
Wen Qingshan obviously did not expect that Long Jiu would actually put forward such a condition, and was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Long Jiu said again: "I don't care what your purpose is in going to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum. Jiansheng will go with you.
He only wants the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, and the rest belongs to you."
Wen Qingshan came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Jiuye, you are joking. How dare I take the idea of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum? The treasures there belong to the country. I am really just out of curiosity, and we really have no plan."
Go explore the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin." Speaking of this, Wen Qingshan even winked at me.
I understood immediately and immediately echoed: "That's right! To explore the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang without the consent of the country is a fool's errand. How can we do it?"
After listening to what we said, Long Jiu smiled and didn't say much. Instead, he picked up the wooden cane placed aside slowly, stood up with the cane, and said: "Since Brother Wen San
If you don't plan to visit Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, then I have nothing to offer you, so please go back." Having said this, Long Jiu spread his hands and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
I really didn’t expect that when we said we didn’t want to visit the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, this ninth master immediately ordered us to be kicked out. This was a bit beyond my expectation. I turned to look at Wen Qingshan and murmured in a low voice: “Boss Wen,
Didn’t you say Master Jiu is a businessman? But I don’t think he looks like that.”
Although my voice was very low, Long Jiu still heard it. He raised his head and smiled: "Haha, Brother Wen San is right. I am indeed a businessman, but I am not interested in money now. I am only interested in money."
I’m interested in the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality.”
Wen Qingshan finally understood what Long Jiu said. He calmed down and said, "According to Master Jiu, if I want to get the survey data of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, I have to go to Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum."
?”
Long Jiu was noncommittal, and said: "Brother Wen, with all due respect, given your temper, if I really gave you all the information I have, you would definitely go to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang!"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, Master Jiu, what you said is too absolute! Everyone knows that the soil layer on Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is hundreds of meters thick. Even if I wanted to enter the mausoleum to open my eyes, I wouldn't be able to open my eyes.
Let’s dig out such a thick layer of soil without anyone noticing.”
Long Jiu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, of course there is no need to go to such trouble."
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled: "What does Master Jiu mean by this?"
Long Jiu raised his head, looked at the two of us, and asked unhurriedly: "Brother Wen San must have heard that there is a secret passage that can lead directly to the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum, right?"
Hearing what Long Jiu said, Wen Qingshan seemed to understand something and said in shock: "Could it be that... Lord Jiu, you already know where this secret path is!?"
Long Jiu nodded: "That's right!"
Wen Qingshan and I were both shocked for a moment. In fact, before we came, Wen Qingshan had thought about asking Long Jiu about the secret passage to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, but we never thought that Long Jiu would take the initiative before he found a chance to mention it.
After being stunned for a while, Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked: "Then where is this secret passage?"
Long Jiu smiled slightly: "I have already said that as long as Brother Wen agrees to visit Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, I will hand over the information I have at hand. If they don't agree, then I have nothing to say."
"But, Lord Jiu, since you already know the location of the secret passage to the imperial mausoleum, why don't you go explore it yourself and why do you have to drag me along?" Wen Qingshan asked puzzledly.
Long Jiu said with a smile: "According to ancient records, there are many structures in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, and I have no experience in exploration, so I have to find a partner. I have thought about it for a long time, and I just think that you, Brother Wen San, are the most suitable candidate."
!”
"Oh? Why does Master Jiu think so?"
"To be honest, I have secretly investigated Brother Wen San, and I have some understanding of Brother Wen San. Firstly, Brother Wen San is experienced in exploration, and the treasures he has discovered in the past thirty years are countless.
Secondly, the three brothers Wen are not greedy for money. Qin Shihuang
There is a large amount of gold and silver jewelry hidden in the mausoleum. If a greedy person enters, I am afraid it will cause great damage to the cultural relics in the mausoleum. I just want to get the secret recipe of the elixir of immortality, but I don't want to destroy the cultural relics in the mausoleum and become a sinner for the ages.
As for the third one..." Long Jiu paused when he said this.
I asked curiously from the side: "What is the third one?"
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said: "The third reason is that I was thinking of finding a partner to explore Qin Ling together, so you came here. This can be regarded as fate."
After listening to what Long Jiu said, I quickly and quietly pulled on Wen Qingshan's clothes and signaled him to agree quickly. In my opinion, this was a great thing that fell from the sky. It would be a pity to miss it.
However, Wen Qingshan did not agree immediately. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Let me go back and think about this matter, and I will give you an answer tomorrow, Lord Jiu. How about that?"
"Haha! Of course! But I have to remind you something. You and I are not the only ones staring at Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum." Long Jiu said unhurriedly.
When Wen Qingshan heard this, he quickly asked: "Who else?"
