Wu Laogou nodded and stood up crookedly, "So many people died, an arm was lost, and most of the things I got were lost, but I didn't expect that this would be left in the end."
Wang Xiaoliuer blinked, "This is wine for burial. Judging from the appearance of this pot, it should be at least two thousand years old."
Wang Xiaoliuer shook it and heard the banging and the sound of water inside. He couldn't help but say, "There is indeed a part inside, but actually I don't recommend opening it."
Wu Laogou was stunned, "Why?"
"Um……"
Wang Xiaoliuer hesitated for a moment, "This is the burial wine in ancient tombs. I don't know if burial wine was given to living people before, but after so many years, I estimate that it must not be drunk anymore."
"
Wang Xiaoliuer looked at the style of the wine jar again, and immediately said, "Master Wu, this thing seems to be from the pre-Qin period. Do you know the identity of the tomb owner?"
"I guess I know."
Wu Laogou said and sighed, "If I guess correctly, that ancient tomb should be from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Wang Xiaoliuer was horrified, "Eastern Zhou Dynasty? The owner of the tomb is..."
"We haven't seen the owner of the tomb, but based on our understanding at the time, the owner of the tomb should probably be King Zhou Xie, or else he is King Zhou Xie's wife or son."
"King Zhou Xie."
Wang Xiaoliuer's face changed slightly.
Speaking of the kings of Zhou, many people must know that King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and King You of Zhou are all famous in history, but King Zhou Xie is obviously not famous to modern people.
However, Wang Xiaoliu'er had read a lot of history books and knew something about this man.
King Zhou Xie, named Zhou Yuchen, is said to be the son of King Zhou You. There is also a saying that he is the younger brother of King Zhou You.
At that time, King You of Zhou got the beauty Bao Si and indulged in it. However, Bao Si was a very beautiful woman, but she had a problem, that is, she did not smile. At that time, there was a rumor in the harem that this Bao Si was not a human but a monster.
, otherwise why wouldn’t she laugh?
After hearing this, King You of Zhou became very upset and spent all day studying why Bao Si didn't laugh, always trying to make Bao Si happy.
Later, it wasn't because of what some big daddy said that this heartless guy played a game of beacon fire with the princes, which made Bao Si laugh.
Playing it once is enough, right?
If he can't do it, is he still playing?
Play once, have fun once, play once, have fun once, and finally play yourself out.
This is the allusion to the infamous "Beacon Fire Plays on the Princes" in history.
The beacon fire played on the princes, which indirectly led to the murder of King You of Zhou, the kidnapping of Bao Si, and the collapse of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
But the Zhou dynasty did not stop there.
Immediately after the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was an Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The first king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was considered by many to be King Ping of Zhou. However, judging from the historical data at that time, there was still a period of "two kings standing side by side" before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty officially began.
era.
In other words, at that time, there were two kings of Zhou, both of whom were known as orthodox.
One of them is King Ping of Zhou, and the other is King Xi of Zhou.
King Zhou Ping was the son of King Zhou You, and he was also the crown prince originally appointed by King Zhou You. He was born to King Zhou You's queen, and his status was orthodox. However, after the appearance of the woman Bao Si, King Zhou You was fascinated by it. Bao Si herself also
I'm not a good man or woman.
After Bao Si gave birth to a son for King Zhou You, Bao Si has been trying to persuade King Zhou You to make her son the crown prince. Later, King Zhou You couldn't stand it anymore, so he deposed the original queen and the original prince.
Bao Si was made the queen, and Bao Si's son was made the prince.
But this incident completely angered a person. This person was the king of Shen State. In history, he was called the Marquis of Shen.
Logically speaking, the affairs of the Zhou royal family have nothing to do with your subordinate country, but the problem is that the original queen who was deposed by King Zhou You was the daughter of Shen Hou. In other words, Shen Hou was originally the father-in-law of King Zhou You.
.
As soon as he heard that his daughter was deposed and his grandson was also deposed, he was very angry. In addition, his good grandson, who was later King Ping of Zhou, came to encourage him. As soon as he slapped the table, he got up and demanded
rebel.
However, Shen Guo's own ability was not enough to shake the Zhou royal family, so the family went outside to unite with some nomads who were eyeing the Zhou royal family at that time. The most powerful among them was the Quan Rong. They united and attacked
King You of Zhou, take
King You of Zhou was killed, and the dog soldiers plundered a large amount of property and stuff, and also took Bao Si away. However, after King You of Zhou died, the Marquis of Shen jumped out and supported his good grandson to inherit the Zhou Dynasty.
The great unification of Zhou Dynasty, King Ping of Zhou, has since entered the stage of history.
However, what King Zhou Ping did was very unfavorable in history at that time, because in fact, King Zhou Ping united with the Quanrong people to kill his own father. After killing his own father and ascending to the throne, he killed the king and killed the king.
Father, you are also a traitor to the country and hooked up with the Quanrong people. Just these two sons, let God
He was despised by his subordinates. Although he relied on his grandfather to unite several princes and kings to support him, the embarrassing thing was that no one stopped him when he came to power. But after he came to power, all the princes looked down on him and refused to see him.
, to put it bluntly, everyone doesn’t like to play with him because they think he smells bad.
The Zhou royal family, which had been ruthlessly trampled by the Dog Rong people, scorned him even more. The orthodox royal family also looked down upon him. They believed that King Zhou Ping was not qualified to inherit the throne because he killed the king and his father. They supported a submissive king.
The next heir is King Zhou Xie.
The two groups fought in separate courts, each playing his own game. Judging from the situation at the time, everyone was more inclined to bring the king to Zhou.
Logically speaking, King Zhou Xie should be the orthodox member of the Zhou family. Therefore, King Zhou Xie received the support of the princes at that time.
But later, with the development of history, King Zhou Ping and King Zhou Xie fought. What was surprising was that King Zhou Ping, who was relatively isolated and despised, actually won, but in fact, he won and lost.
It is said that he won because he defeated King Zhou Xie and became the only "king" in the world in name. But in fact, his victory was the result of the game between great powers.
The reason why King Zhou Ping was able to win was because he had the support of the Jin State at that time. The Jin State was definitely one of the top powers at the time, with a large territory, strong strength, and ambitions.
When the State of Shen supported King Ping of Zhou, he was very prosperous and envied the State of Jin.
Later, when Shen himself failed, Jin wanted to take over.
To put it bluntly, King Ping of Zhou was just a puppet with the support of Shen State.
Now that the State of Shen is on its last legs, the State of Jin also wants to be the eldest brother, and also wants to indulge in the addiction of "coercing the emperor to control the princes". His support for King Zhou Ping is not at all out of loyalty. To put it bluntly, he supports the State of Jin just for himself.
, in order to control public opinion.
Some people may say, in order to control the Zhou royal family, why didn't he support King Zhou Xie and King Ping of Zhou?
Basically, it was because King Ping of Zhou was very weak.
King Zhou Xie had the support of many people at that time. Regardless of his true strength, he had an absolute advantage in terms of reputation. If he went, he would not be able to show off, and he would not get much benefit. A piece of cake shared by 10,000 people would be enough.
How much?
But King Zhou Ping couldn't do it. King Zhou Ping was weak. He was just like the little emperor during the Three Kingdoms. He was pitiful and could do whatever he wanted. So, Jin took action and attacked King Zhou Xie and destroyed him.
of
At this time, there is only one king in the world, but this king is also a puppet.
From then on, the era of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty began, as did the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The Zhou Dynasty is divided into the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They are two eras. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the King of Zhou was still very powerful. By the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the King of Zhou was basically just a decoration. At that time, the most dazzling people on the historical stage were all
There are all the princes.
Of course, after King Zhou Zi was destroyed, King Zhou Zi's group disappeared. Some said they were massacred, and some said they escaped. Anyway, it never appeared in history, so that until
Today, there is still no record of the death of King Zhou Xie in historical materials. This group basically did not make much progress and was completely withdrawn.
Even King Zhou Xie was rarely noticed in history.
So when Mr. Wu said that this ancient tomb might be that of King Zhou Xie, Wang Xiaoliuer was still shocked.
Wu Laogou was surprised to see Wang Xiaoliuer, and he was also surprised in his heart.
He could tell that Wang Xiaoliuer's expression meant that he might also know something about this "King Zhou Xie".
"Do you know King Zhou Xie?"
Wu Laogou asked.
"How should I say it?"
Wang Xiaoliuer hesitated for a moment, then rubbed his face, "I know something about it. A king in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed."
"right."
Wu Laogou nodded, and for some reason, tears fell down his face as he spoke, "After I knew the location of this ancient tomb, I went to many people to find it. In total, it was only a dozen times. This time,
It’s the closest we’ve ever gotten.”
Wang Xiaoliuer pursed his lips, a little confused, "Did you know that the tomb belonged to King Zhou Xie?"
"You have a rough idea."
Wu Laogou sighed, "Actually, that ancient tomb was left by Master Yao. It was a wish that Master Yao failed to fulfill."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaoliuer was even more puzzled, "Master Wu, let me tell you, don't mind. I think with your current position of power, you would be considered rich if you didn't do this, so why bother?"
Woolen cloth?"
"I understand what you mean."
Wu Laogou's tears were still flowing, "I am already very rich. Money is not important to me. What I really care about is my life."
"That's not right."
Wang Xiaoliuer spread his hands and said, "Since life is more important, why did you go into the mountain? Isn't that just kidding with your own life?"
"I am already a dying person."
Wu Laogou drooped his eyelids and said, "You are a miracle doctor. You should have figured it out a long time ago, right? People in our profession will probably not end well. I can live to this day, which is pretty good."
"When I came here last time to see you, I saw something, but I didn't say anything."
Wang Xiaoliuer hesitated for a moment and then told the truth, "Your condition is not very good, but it has nothing to do with the problem with your leg before."
"I know, I know."
Wu Laogou nodded, "I have been ill for many years. The doctor said that I can only have a few months at most. Otherwise, I would not be so anxious to go there myself."
"Do you want to fulfill a wish in your lifetime?"
"No, I just want to give it a try before I die."
"You want to go to the ancient tomb to find a way to save your life."
"right."
Wu Laogou nodded, raised his cloudy eyes, and looked at Wang Xiaoliu'er, "My disease is terminal and cannot be cured at all. Unfortunately, Master Yao also has a similar problem. Master Yao was
When he was arrested, the situation was similar to my current situation, so many times, I felt that this might be fate or retribution."
He curled his lips, picked up a pipe from one side, lit it, and continued, "This time, I failed when I entered the mountains. The last chance was gone. I know that there is no time left for me."
Not much. In fact, on the way back, I thought about it and thought, if it doesn’t work, just forget it. We are all the same and will die.”
Wang Xiaoliuer remained silent.
Wu Laogou raised his eyelids and said, "Are you very confused? What am I looking for in the ancient tomb?"
"Could it be that it's the elixir of life?"
Wang Xiaoliu'er smiled bitterly and shrugged. After Wu Laogou finished listening, he looked at Wang Xiaoliu'er and nodded.
Wang Xiaoliuer was very surprised and nodded.
"Master Yao, before I went in, I didn't go out for several years, just studying this."
Wu Laogou said, looking at the map hanging on the wall from a distance, "He made a big deal before, and I don't know which emperor's tomb he dug. He got a lot of good things.
But he didn't pay much attention to it. Among those treasures, he only had a strong interest in a silk book. At that time, he stayed at home quietly and didn't come out. He studied all day long.
He did research and visited many experts all over the country. We all thought at the time that he might have found a treasure map or something, otherwise, how could he be so concerned? It turned out later that what he was researching was not something.
Treasure maps and money are not important to him. What he really fights about is one thing. That thing can revive the dead and make him immortal."
"There is no such thing in this world!"
Wang Xiaoliuer tilted his body and looked puzzled, "You really believe in immortality! As far as I know, immortality basically does not exist! There is no magic medicine or anything like that!"
Wu Laogou nodded, "I thought so before, but later, I learned more about things and I was shaken."
"Shaken?"
"Shaken."
Wu Laogou took another puff of cigarette, "Little brother, you are a capable person. I can come back this time thanks to what you gave me. I regard you as one of my own. So, I will tell you
Let’s be honest. Master Yao once had more than
He once said that he had two major regrets in his life. One was that he failed to rob the Qin Mausoleum, and the other was that he failed to dig up the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Tomb. I have always wondered what was so good about the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Tomb.
Can it be compared with Qin Shihuang’s mausoleum?”
Wang Xiaoliuer blinked, "Then, have you asked him?"
