On the way back to Luoyang City, the elder of the Dou clan came over, and when he said yes, his eyes twinkled a little.
Old lady Xie's expression changed.
As the Dou family is regarded as a first-class family of relatives throughout the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to say that they don't know anything.
Seeing this, the Dou family said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xie probably knows the secrets in that cave. Why don't you and I find a place to chat?"
Old Master Xie frowned slightly and said nothing.
The Dou family member continued: "I have just looked at it carefully. Those heads were all children's heads. It is said that the first emperor collected three thousand boys and girls from all over the world to try for the elixir of immortality..."
"Ahem, Mr. Dou, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense about immortality. It's all just fantasy and fantasy."
Mrs. Xie interrupted openly, and said in a rather deep tone: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, there are some things that are rare, don't fight with the sky... go back to the city."
Old lady Xie shouted to the groom.
The whip was waved, and the horse moved forward in pain, leaving Dou and his party looking at each other in shock.
A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked softly: "Second uncle, this old guy obviously knows something."
The old man from the Dou clan frowned like the Chinese character Sichuan. He looked at the car frame going away and said: "This old guy knows how to advance and retreat. If it were normal, I would just forget it, but it's a matter of..."
He glanced at the middle-aged man warily, but did not reveal the secret of the longevity medicine. Obviously, this secret is only known to some old guys from big families, and the younger generation basically doesn't understand it...
"Second uncle?"
"Forget it, it's nothing, let's go back."

In this cave.
Wei Cheng frowned and looked at the heads and corpses on the ground.
Bai Chu's eyes moved slightly, and he held a lantern that had been prepared long ago in his hand, and said: "It has been nearly five hundred years, and these bones will break at the touch of a touch. Let's try to be careful and collect the Jiuzhou tripod before burying them."
That’s it.”
Wei Cheng said 'hmm' and looked at the lantern in Bai Chuyi's hand.
Bai Chuyi explained: "This is to save lives. If the fire is not extinguished, people will be fine."
Wei Cheng answered clearly: "The fact that the fire is out proves that there is no oxygen in it, I understand."
Bai Chuyi was stunned and asked curiously: "What is oxygen?"
Wei Cheng: "..."
I looked around and saw that there were bones all over the ground. It was so eerie that it would be difficult to popularize science in a place like this.
Fortunately, Bai Chuyi just asked out of curiosity and walked ahead with a lantern. The two of them soon came to a gate.
】
Wei Cheng recognized it. This stone gate was the same as the one in Qingzhou, except that the relief on it changed to Beimang Mountain.
Bai Chu glanced at Wei Cheng, then walked to the lower right side of the door and took out a bronze object similar to a key from his arms.
"My Bai family has guarded the secret treasure for generations. This is the key to unlock the secret treasure. There is only one in the world."
Click!
Boom!
As the key turned, the door opened slowly.
Wei Cheng took out a flashlight from his arms, and the strong light instantly lit up the entire cave, making the scene inside clear at a glance.
After Bai Chuyi made sure that the candle in the lantern was not extinguished, he nodded with Wei Cheng and indicated that he could enter.
For safety reasons, Wei Cheng not only put on a gas mask himself, but also asked Bai Chuyi to wear one too.
After confirming the protection, Wei Cheng went in first with a flashlight.
Like the Qingzhou Cauldron, there is also a large cauldron hanging in the air. The top of the hall is dotted with many luminous pearls. These luminous pearls form various star charts, as if it is some kind of mysterious ritual.
While Wei Cheng was curiously looking at these star maps, Bai Chu ran under the big cauldron and exclaimed: "Brother Cheng, it is indeed the Yuzhou cauldron. There are also records left by my ancestors of the Bai family here."
Wei Cheng walked over and saw Bai Chuyi squatting on the ground, stroking a stone pillar with various small seal characters the size of fingernails on it.
Bai Chuyi thought: "The last record was left in the 17th year of Jianwu. It is already one hundred and fifty years ago. According to the records of the ancestors, Emperor Guangwu seemed to be looking for the elixir of longevity. In order to protect the secret treasure, the ancestors
The secret passage had to be sealed."
Wei Cheng looked at the words on the stone pillar in surprise, "Guangwu, isn't that Liu Xiu?"
Bai Chu nodded, "It's him right, what's wrong?"
Wei Cheng's expression changed. He had recently checked many historical records preserved in the palace and found that there were very few records about Liu Xiu.
Other emperors kept records of everything they said and did, but Liu Xiu did not.
There are only two possibilities for this situation to happen. One is that Liu Xiu rarely appears in front of the world, and the other is that Liu Xiu prohibits historians from recording... Both situations indicate that he seems to be deliberately concealing something.
.
"Brother Cheng, there is no problem. You should collect the Yuzhou tripod as well, so that we can have a bigger place to fly."
Bai Chuyi stood up and held Wei Cheng's hand, and said, "Can you also take this stone tablet in?"
Wei Cheng nodded and reached out to touch the stone pillar, just touch it.
Bai Chuyi looked at him enviously and sighed: "I really envy you. With such magical skills at your side, there is no place in the world that you cannot go."
Wei Cheng stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said funnyly: "If you don't stay with me, where else do you want to go?"
Bai Chuyi's pretty face turned red, and she also liked Wei Cheng's intimate behavior, which made her feel that Wei Cheng treated her just like he did when he was a child.
Wei Cheng looked up at Yuzhou Ding, and the familiar desire emerged again.
Especially the closer the distance, the stronger this desire becomes.
The Yuzhou tripod, Ziwei soft pillow, and Hetu are the same. You don’t need to touch them, you just need to let go of the space to collect them.
Even if the Yuzhou tripod is tied by four large iron chains, it will be the same.
Wei Cheng just had a slight thought, and the Yuzhou tripod disappeared directly, and the four large iron chains fell to the ground, making a jingling sound.
"Weijun?!"
The Qilin Guards who were waiting outside heard the noise and rushed in. Xu Chu looked nervous.
Wei Cheng and Bai Chuyi stood on the high platform in the center of the hall with indifferent expressions, and said with a smile: "I'm fine."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Wei Cheng was safe and sound, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
The incident last year had cast a huge shadow on him, and now he was shouldering a heavy responsibility. He was really afraid that something would happen to Wei Cheng again, especially if something happened under his protection.
"Let people bury this place, buy some clay pots, and bury these bones properly."
"Here!"
···
Xie Mansion.
After old man Xie returned home, he locked himself in the ancestral hall alone and ignored everyone.
After receiving the news, Xie Yu hurriedly ran over from the palace and anxiously squatted outside the door with his ninth uncle Xie Jin.
"You are pregnant now, so don't act like you did before. These people really will tell you anything."
Xie Jin brought over an imperial chair and motioned for Xie Yu to sit down and rest.
Xie Yu was not polite either. Her belly was already showing signs of pregnancy and it was very uncomfortable to stand for a long time.
After sitting down, Xie Yu looked at the closed door and frowned: "Uncle Jiu, what happened to grandpa?"
Xie Jin didn't know much about it either. He just heard that old lady Xie went to Beimang Mountain and came back like this.
Hearing this, Xie Yuxiu frowned slightly and said, "My husband also went there. I heard that he killed someone?"
Xie Jin nodded slightly and said: "When Qilin Guard found out, the two people were already cold. Later, Wei Jun went there in person. Several people from the aristocratic families were driven back by Wei Jun. It seemed that they didn't want people to pry into them.
secret."
"What secret can a hole hold?" Xie Yu said disdainfully.
at this time.
There was a squeak.
The gate of the ancestral hall slowly opened.
Old lady Xie stood behind the threshold and looked at the uncle and nephew under the porch.
When Xie Jin and Xie Yu saw the old man coming out okay, they both stood up and greeted him happily.
Seeing Xie Yu's big belly, old man Xie hurriedly stepped forward to support his sweet granddaughter, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are going to be a mother soon, why are you still so fussy?"
Xie Yu looked Old Xie up and down, and after making sure that he was fine, he said anxiously: "Grandpa, you scared me to death. Don't lock yourself in the house next time, just in case... Where are you going to go in the future anyway?
You have to have people follow you.”
Old Master Xie chuckled, knowing that his family was worried about him, especially his good granddaughter. He had loved her in vain since she was a child.
He nodded happily, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. Come on, sit down and talk."
There was a chair under the porch, and two elders, Mrs. Xie and Xie Jin, were standing, one on the left and the other on the right, chatting with Xie Yu.
Because of her pregnancy, Xie Yu has not returned to her parents' home for a long time.
The three generations of grandparents already have many common topics. This time, because of the big hole, they couldn't help but talk about the Dingjunfang exercise.
Xie Yunai is the female guard general, so the news she received was naturally beyond what the two old ladies Xie and Grandpa Xie could compare with.
Not to mention anything else, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to enter Dingjunfang. The guards there are stricter than those in the imperial palace.
"Wait a minute, are you saying that the artillery that blew up that big crater was fired from Dingjunfang?"
Grandpa Xie and Xie Jin looked at each other in shock at this sentence. Dingjunfang is twenty-five miles away from Beimang Mountain.
What kind of artillery can hit such a long distance?
Xie Yu said proudly: "Why did I lie to you? Anyway, my husband has no intention of hiding it. The artillery is the result of his retreat. There are only two of them, and they are all used to equip the Imperial Knights. My female guard wants to There isn’t a single door.”
Old Master Xie was so shocked that he was speechless. After realizing his gaffe, he asked again: "By the way, when Wei Jun passed by today, he was sitting on a strange iron cavalry. You also know that it is What?"
Xie Yu covered his small mouth and smiled, saying: "What kind of iron cavalry? Oh, my grandfather should be talking about Mengshi, the kind of iron lump with six big wheels, right?"
"Six wheels...ah, yes, yes, it is indeed driven by six big black wheels. It is tall, big and very powerful. Is it called a Mengshi? It is worthy of the name!" Old Master Xie sighed.
Xie Jin looked confused and curious, "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? It's a cavalry and a men's soldier, so why does it have wheels?"
At this time, Xie Yu said with a smile: "How about it, Uncle Jiu, do you want to broaden your horizons?"
Old Madam Xie looked blank for a moment, then reacted and asked in surprise: "Yu'er, are you sure you don't know this?"
Xie Yu raised her neck proudly and said with a smile: "Yes, my husband knew that I was coming back, so he specially asked someone to drive me here."
Old Master Xie had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but tighten the things in his arms and said: "It's a blessing that he is really good to you."
"Come on, take me to see you quickly!"
The stable in the backyard of Xie Mansion.
A six-wheeled iron wheel was parked in the middle of the field, and almost the entire Xie family was here to watch the excitement.
Xu Shuzheng, who was responsible for driving Xie Yu back, was treated as an honored guest and was personally entertained by the current head of the Xie family.
"Oh, this is the first time Governor Xu has come to my Xie's Bar. Come on, come on, have a drink."
Xu Shu waved his hands repeatedly, "Master Xie is too polite. I really can't drink anymore. Wei Jun said, don't drink while driving, and don't drive after drinking. This is already a violation of discipline on my part."
"Oh, it's okay. Didn't you say you could call for a driver? I'll send someone to Dingjunfang to call one for you."
Xu Shu shook his head helplessly and could only bite the bullet and continue drinking. It was true that people like Mr. Xie were too enthusiastic, and they were relatives, so he couldn't offend them. It was just a few glasses of wine. At most, he would ask that boy Sima Yi to take him back.
A few people were having a good time drinking. Xu Shu's current status is very impressive. He is the warlord who leads the Imperial Knights. He and Zhang Fei are on the left and right, both civil and military. They are highly valued by Lord Wei.
At this time, Xie Yu and the others arrived late.
When they saw Grandpa Xie, everyone in the Xie family bowed respectfully and greeted him. At the same time, they felt relieved and felt much more relaxed.
Despite the fact that Mr. Xie is already old, the Xie family cannot survive without him. He is still the backbone of the Xie family.
"Xu Shu has met Mr. Xie." Xu Shu also bowed respectfully, and it was the courtesy of a Confucian scholar.
Old Master Xie smiled slightly and said: "So it's you. I remember you came to listen to my lectures for many years, right?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Shu bowed his hand again, nodded and said: "In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), I was lucky enough to attend Hongmen Academy. I was ignorant at the time and offended Mr. Xie, a student.
I would like to apologize to you sir."
Hearing this, Old Master Xie laughed and said: "No offense, no offense, you must have found the answers to those questions in your heart for your achievements today. I should congratulate you."
Xu Shu nodded and said, "Indeed, the teacher taught you the right lesson at that time. He read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. If it weren't for his personal experience in the past few years, I wouldn't have the insights and achievements I have today."
"This is a good thing. Come, show me this big guy."
"Thank you, sir."
Xu Shu opened the car door and motioned to Mrs. Xie to go in and experience it.
Grandpa Xie was so shocked that he later asked Xu Shu to take him out for a walk.
On the way back.
Old Grandpa Xie thought for a long time and then suddenly said: "Yuan Zhi, when you go back, help the old man bring a message to Wei Jun."
Xu Shu, who was driving, frowned slightly.
Old Master Xie smiled and said, "I asked you to take the lead. Naturally, it is something that is not easy for Yu'er to know. The matter is of great importance, so I can only leave it to you."
Xu Shu looked at the heavy-faced old lady Xie through the rearview mirror, and said slowly: "Sir, please tell me, the students will definitely bring him."
Old Mrs. Xie looked at the quickly retreating scene outside the window and slowly took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms.
"You help me give this thing to Mr. Wei, and say that this is my Xie family's attitude. I only hope that Mr. Wei can treat Yu'er and his wife kindly in the future."
Xu Shu stopped the car on the side of the road, took the sheepskin solemnly with both hands, and promised: "Don't worry, sir, the student will deliver it to Wei Jun personally."
Only then did Old Master Xie let go of the sheepskin. The reluctance and longing in his eyes made him feel relieved for a moment.
Although they say they don't believe it, how many people can give up easily when faced with the temptation of immortality?
Mr. Xie also considered and hesitated for a long time, and finally made this difficult choice for the sake of his family.
