Unexpectedly, Ye Yingxiong, who has lived abroad since childhood, actually knows Chinese history and can use the allusion of "playing the princes with beacon fire" to refute Ye Xingyu.
But since Ye Xingyu dared to say this, he naturally had his reasons. He talked eloquently and slowly told his own views.
"You are only half right. Whether it was the Western Zhou Dynasty or the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Great Wall was built, but the length was very short and not dragon-shaped. Its main function was for military strategic defense.
"It wasn't until the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world that Qin Shihuang listened to the alchemists' slander and connected the Great Wall of the Warring States Period, and carried out construction and repairs in a planned manner. The length was greatly increased, and it was called the 'Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles'.
"At this time, the Qin Empire was unprecedentedly powerful, conquering Baiyue in the south and attacking the Xiongnu in the north. It no longer feared any foreign enemies. The significance of building the Great Wall was not limited to military defense, but had other reasons.
"The reason is of course to build the Dragon Veins. The First Emperor Ying Zheng, who mistakenly believed the slander, thought that he could use this to break through the nine-five-year number and make his country forever and live as long as the heavens. However, he did not know that he had been fooled and was about to face a catastrophe.
"The alchemist who gave Yingzheng advice had evil intentions. He had already predicted that the Qin Dynasty was exhausted, so he used a pretext and ran away with three thousand boys and girls. Even if Yingzheng realized something was wrong afterward, he would not be able to find anyone to settle the score.
.
"I don't need to say more about what happened after that. Everyone should already know that Qin Shihuang, who ruled the world, not only did not live a long life, but died suddenly overnight. His body smelled so bad that it took more than two months to be buried.
"As soon as he died, civil unrest broke out and rebellions broke out everywhere. First there were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, then Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. The Qin Dynasty, which was said to last for eternity, quickly came to an end. It only had a short history of fourteen years.
"After the fall of Qin, every feudal dynasty that ruled the Central Plains built the Great Wall without stopping for more than two thousand years, with a total length of more than 100,000 miles.
"But after countless wars and destruction, as well as continuous erosion over thousands of years, the Great Wall today is no longer what it used to be. Most of the Great Wall that people see today was built during the Ming Dynasty and was no longer man-made during the Qin Dynasty.
Dragon Vein."
Ye Xingyu barely took a break and continued talking. Zhang Xinyu and Butler Mei were fascinated by what he was saying. Only Ye Yingxiong wanted to refute, but couldn't think of a suitable way to say it.
In the end, Ye Xingyu concluded: "It can be seen from this that even a true dragon emperor should not secretly create dragon veins to anger God, and ordinary people should not do such a thing. Its essence is tantamount to planning rebellion. Sooner or later
If your family is to be confiscated and your clan is exterminated, even if you rely on the dragon veins to attract dragon energy, it will only happen temporarily, and you will have to pay back the cause and effect sooner or later."
After hearing these words, Butler Mei said nothing, lowered his head in thought, his face became serious, and he seemed to believe a lot.
Zhang Xinyu, however, was dubious and muttered: "What age are we in, and are you still practicing feudal superstition?"
Ye Xingyu smiled: "Feng shui is a university subject, not a feudal superstition."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Zhang Xinyu waved her hands and changed the subject, "I ask you again, are you really here to treat my grandma?"
Ye Xingyu nodded with a smile and said "yes".
Zhang Xinyu waved to him: "Then follow me to see grandpa, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Afterwards, Zhang Xinyu led the way, and the other three followed behind, walking towards the gate of the villa together.
The low wall on the periphery encloses a large area, but there are only three main buildings, arranged side by side, one large and two small. There are corridors connecting them. They are mainly white with gold as embellishments. The architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western, but it is more biased towards
European modern.
In addition to a few maids, there are also some black security guards outside the house, who are divided into several groups to patrol and guard everywhere. There are also many surveillance cameras to take care of every blind corner to prevent outsiders from intruding.
It can be seen that the Zhang family's security work is very good. After all, this is a relatively remote suburb, so some precautions must be taken.
…
In the lobby of the villa, the guests were chatting happily.
With a smile on his face, Zhang Tiangen was asking Ye Quankun: "I haven't seen Master Ye Xian for many years. I wonder if he is in good health now?"
Ye Quankun Surong replied: "Without bothering the chairman, my father has always been in good health and there will be no problem in living for another few decades."
"That's good, that's good..." Zhang Tiangen clapped his hands and laughed, "Master Ye Xian is fine, I'm relieved!"
"You should also take care of yourself and don't work too hard." While speaking, Ye Quankun reached into his arms and took out a small wooden box, "This is the longevity elixir refined by my father. Please ask me to bring it to you.
It can be regarded as a betrothal gift for marriage proposal."
"What? The elixir refined by Master Ye Xian himself?" Zhang Tiangen was surprised and happy, staring at the wooden box, unable to look away at all.
Ye Quankun nodded slightly: "Although it has the effect of prolonging life, it is not a magic pill."
After saying that, he handed the small wooden box to the other side.
Zhang Tiangen pretended to be evasive and deliberately refused to accept it. He also said: "Master Ye Xian has been very kind to my Zhang family. I have been thinking about how to repay it, but I have never been able to do so. How can I have the nerve to accept such a precious gift? I can't do it.
! Never do it!"
"Don't refuse. It's just pills. How can it be considered a valuable gift?" Ye Quankun finally showed a smile on his face. "For my Ye family, the most indispensable thing is pills. Don't worry.
Take it so I can go back and report to my father."
"Then...then...thank you so much!"
With a smile on his face, Zhang Tiangen half pushed and half took the small wooden box, and then held it tightly, unwilling to let go. His old hands covered with wrinkles kept trembling, obviously unable to control his inner excitement.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly opened the wooden box and saw a longan-sized elixir placed in the middle of the box. It was light in color, mixed with yellow and white, and had a strong aroma slowly spreading out.
Zhang Tiangen leaned forward, came slightly closer, and took a deep sniff with his nose. Then his eyes gleamed, and he opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "It is indeed an elixir. Just smelling it makes me feel refreshed and energetic!"
"
His son Zhang Hanlin also smelled the smell, and became excited with a slanderous expression on his face. He seemed to want a piece of the pie, but unfortunately there was only one pill, and without his share, he could only look at it with envy.
Ye Quankun, who was sitting opposite, had a panoramic view of all this. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a strange smile, which seemed to have a different meaning.
When he thought that everything was going smoothly according to plan, Ye Quankun's heart was actually even hotter than that of the Zhang family and his son, but no outsider knew it and couldn't tell.
But at this moment, an accident happened, and a very discordant voice suddenly sounded, loudly saying: "What a bullshit elixir, it's obviously poison! Whoever dares to eat it will die!"
