Chapter 35 Talking in the Stone Room The Truth of the Bronze Drum
The bridge was very short, and almost before I could pray for the beautiful and the others, I had already reached the end. My eyes suddenly opened up, with a bright light, and a fragrance came. I hurriedly covered my breath, afraid that there would be something strange in these fragrances.
"It's okay, it's the smell of sandalwood." Mitsu Fujiwara looked around with a smile, and looked around slowly. After slowly seeing it, "I know where we are now."
I didn't have time to read what he meant, but I was attracted by the scene in front of me. This looked like a wooden passage, but there were many more compartments on both sides. Looking along the passage, I couldn't tell where the end was. But it was strange that on the top of my head, which was not far from my height, I couldn't tell what material was made of, but it emitted a bright red dark light, almost covering up the light of the entire night pearl.
I opened a room at will and found that it was actually a living room. It was hard to believe that these ethnic groups who played bronze ware could have built such luxurious wooden residences.
The room is not big, but it is very distinctive. The compartment is simple and there is only a square table, which is the bed. The curtain tent gently covers the scene in the bed. Fujiwara Mi reached out and opened the curtain tent. The bed tent was covered with silk quilts, without a trace of dust. When he reached out to touch it, he could feel the warmth from his fingertips.
"There won't be anyone living here, right?"
Mitsu Fujiwara shook his head and said, "It's impossible. This place is completely blocked from the outside world. Even if you have to live in it, how can you get the food?"
"But how do you explain the things in front of you?" I looked at these decorations in disbelief, and then I realized that in the middle of the end, there was a wooden shelf with a dark armor hanging on it.
I stepped forward and looked at the armor, but I saw that the armor was finely crafted and had the word "Qin" engraved on it.
"Is this something from the Ming Dynasty?"
Fujiwara Sandao, "It is possible that the legend here started from the Qin Dynasty?"
"Then?" I suddenly had a bold guess, "Will there be people from the Qin Dynasty living here?"
Fujiwara Mi looked at me in surprise, "Impossible, there will be no living people here, but is there a possibility?"
I curiously aroused my curiosity from Fujiwara Mi's mysterious eyes, and asked, "What's the possibility?"
Fujiwara San said solemnly, "Unless they are gods, they can explain everything in front of them."
"God?" I looked surprised, but the expression on Fujiwara Mi's face made me unable to see that he was joking.
"It seems you don't believe it?" Fujiwara Mitsuma said, "You should know that the Dian Kingdom has a long history and existed in the Warring States Period. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he had the same carriages and books, built the Great Wall and built the Afang Palace. However, when these achievements were completed one by one and about to be completed, Qin Shihuang began to consider his own affairs. While he was building a magnificent underground soul, he began to believe in the magician's elixir speech, and sent a large number of magicians overseas to find magicians to realize the myth of immortality."
Where did I hear from Zhuo Bufei? I was also curious about Fujiwara Mi's version. After all, everything in front of me is really unexplainable, "Then he died later."
Fujiwara San nodded and said, "Yes, but it does not mean that the immortal elixir does not exist. According to unofficial historical records: In fact, before that, Emperor Qin had already obtained the immortal elixir, but why he did not take it, I don't know."
"Not taken? How did you know?"
Fujiwara Sandao, "Of course I don't know. According to unofficial historical records, the Qin Emperor sent generals to conquer Dian for something that fell from the sky that Chu General Zhuang Qiao took away from Chu."
"What fell from the sky?" I was as if I was listening to the book of heaven, and became more and more confused, and said casually, "Is it a fairy pill?"
Fujiwara Mitsu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's certain that it has a lot to do with the immortal pill. The battle at that time was earth-shaking. The whole country of Dian Kingdom counterattacked, but in the face of the sweeping of the Qin cavalry, it was almost irresistible. However, when Zhuang Qiao, the lord of Dian Kingdom, appeared with his own army, miraculously resisted the killing of the Qin army. After that, the two armies confronted each other. However, no matter how the Qin army counterattacked, they could not defeat this mysterious army. In the end, Zhuang Qiao talked with the Qin general and was willing to give out that thing, but asked the Qin general to retreat and never invade the Dian Kingdom. Of course, the Qin general did not agree, but in the face of Zhuang Qiao's might, he could only deliberately agree against his will and respond with the spoils offered by Zhuang Qiao."
"I heard from Mr. Zhuo and others that the Qin army Wang Jian once went to conquer the Dian Kingdom and returned to China after destroying the Dian Kingdom at that time. And wasn't the mysterious army you mentioned in the battle with the magical power of the bronze drum?"
Fujiwara Mian smiled and it took him a long time to arrive, "Wang Jian destroyed the Dian Kingdom, which was the second time that the Qin army conquered Dian. What exactly might be the problem with Zhuang Qiao's things presented to the Qin Emperor."
"There is a problem?" I became increasingly unable to understand what the story he told and Zhuo Bufei's story hidden.
Fujiwara Mitsu continued, "Although we came here in name, we told those people what bronze drums were looking for, it was actually Governor Zhang's attempt to cover up his eyes and ears. His purpose was to be the prescription buried here, and I knew the secrets hidden here very early."
"Are you the scout?"
"Scout? Haha, that was just a spy from the previous dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, he was replaced by Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory. When he arrived in the Qing Dynasty, he was replaced by the sticking place. But I don't deny that it does have a great relationship with the Ming Dynasty. After being adopted by Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, I heard a little about some things about the Ming Dynasty." He looked at the arrangement of the room and said, "It is undeniable that this is indeed the layout of the Qin Dynasty, so I believe in that legend more."
"What legend?"
Fujiwara San slowly walked out of the entrance hall of the compartment and closed the wooden doorway, "Of course it's a legend about the Immortal Pill."
"Didn't it mean that the court came here just to find the bronze drum? And then, Monk Daoyan obtained the bronze drum and helped Zhu Di ascend to the great treasure? Why is it because of the immortal pill again?"
Fujiwara Sandao, "That was also to boost morale. Daoyan did come here, but what he took away was not the so-called bronze drum, but the Gu insects stored in the bronze vessels."
"Gu insect?" I almost didn't believe my ears, but I instantly thought of the mysterious entrance. Among the bones everywhere, perhaps what he said was looking at Gu insects.
Fujiwara Sandao, "You should have heard that the ancient people of the Dian Kingdom are good at witchcraft, and witchcraft can not only kill people, but also control people, making people not afraid of life and death. At that time, Zhu Di only had more than 100,000 troops. How to face the army of Emperor Jianwen of Jingnan, he could only retreat to the next best, and used witchcraft to greed into the army to enhance combat power and thus defeated the Jianwen army. This is why after the Jingnan period, the legend of bronze drums became more and more mysterious. Whatever he said was that when he beat the bronze drum, it was like a divine weapon from heaven, and it was actually just a saying to cover up the truth."
"What about the bronze drum in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Is it the same?"
Fujiwara Mitsu smiled, "How come you believe these things so easily? What is the difference between this and some auspicious things from heaven created by those emperors who have been in power in the past dynasties? It is nothing more than to create public opinion. I think it should be that after the emergence of bronze drums in all dynasties, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used this to fabricate it on itself, use it locally and exaggerate it, just to use it to put reasonable explanations on its ambitions in exchange for supporters and overturn the current situation with itself. This is also the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated by the Qing army in the end."
I think so, if the bronze drum could really help Zhu Di obtain a treasure, why didn't the magical bronze drum help Hong Xiuquan defeat the encirclement of the Qing general? No matter what kind of bewitching words, countless people went from blind followers to the final slowly awakening, they became hourglass, and could slowly pass away without any external force.
"Why do you believe in the bronze drum? Isn't the immortal pill a illusion?" I suddenly remembered the meaning of the sentence "You will be grateful to me" when Fujiwara San separated me and Yini.
Fujiwara San said, "I have never told these secrets, and Gao Liangjun. Now that I have chosen you, it's okay to tell you." Fujiwara San stood in the corridor, and the appearance of the two of us seemed particularly vivid. He looked at the ghost totems on both sides, looked at them for a long time, and turned to me, "Don't investigate what Zhuang Qiao brought, no matter what he offered to the Qin Emperor, but not long after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he built hundreds of treasure ships and went out to sea, and used his name to cover up the search for Yasuna.
Emperor Jianwen, who disappeared from the palace, was actually the order of the eunuch of the Three Treasures at that time, led Zhu Di to find the fairy mountain to get the magic pill. But it was very sad. When he went out to sea, he found that all the imaginations were just imaginations. There were so many countries opposite the sea. They saw the outside world for the first time and were shocked by the vast world. Zheng He went to various countries to search for it secretly. Unfortunately, he did not find the so-called fairy mountain island, let alone the magic pill, and in the end he could only exchange for a large number of pearl agate, and the rare treasures returned to his country in a hurry."
Fujiwara Mitsu said thoughtfully, "After Zheng He returned to the Ming Dynasty, he presented the treasure to Zhu Di, but Zhu Di was not happy because of the treasure. He secretly blamed Zheng He and asked Zheng He to continue sailing and search until he found the legendary elixir. After that, Zheng He went to the West six times in a row, but in the end he still couldn't find the legendary elixir."
"Then did they give up?"
"No, but Zheng He died in his seventh voyage, and this matter had to come to an end. But no one knew that Zheng He was not dead at all. Through decades of voyage and research on searching for immortal pills, Zheng He found clues to the immortal pills, which was to give birth to him and at the same time let him go to the hometown of Mingcheng, which was an extraordinary life." Fujiwara San reached out to touch the carvings on the wooden wall, affirming his thoughts, "He secretly pretended to die, and then secretly returned here from the sea. Looking for the legendary elixir."
"Has he found it?"
Fujiwara Sandao, "I don't know, but in the end someone of his subordinates defected and returned to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di was already dead. In order to get a high official and generous salary, his subordinates betrayed Zheng He. However, everyone at that time knew that Zheng He was dead, and Zhu Di buried Zheng He's tomb next to his tomb. For this reason, the Ming Emperor sent someone to Yunnan to search for Zheng He's whereabouts. It was very strange that after arriving in Yunnan, he found that everything was nonsense and there was no Zheng He at all. In the end, he took the man back to Beijing to report. The Ming Emperor was furious. On the one hand, he was tortured by the man, and on the other hand, he secretly seized all the information about Zheng He's voyage to the West, hiding all the secrets."
"What about Zheng He? Did he escape?"
Fujiwara Sandao, "I don't know, but I'm sure he did arrive in Akigaki."
I looked at him blankly and said in confusion, "Didn't you say that? The Ming army came to search for him at that time, but did not find Zheng He?"
