Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter [-]: Last Wish

The man had long hair reaching his waist, but his facial features were somewhat determined, and his eyes were staring straight ahead, as if he was looking at the two "descendants" of the Lie Shan tribe, as if he was still alive.

Shen Ye's face was a bit ugly, and he said with displeasure: "You shameless guy."

Xie Yi had no choice but to hold his hand: "A Ye."

Having said that, the priest of the Lieshan tribe sitting in front of the two of them at this moment is indeed a bit ugly.

why?Because of him, he also became a pottery figurine.

The facial features are still there, and the body is still intact, but the stiff white jade-like "body" no longer belongs to a living person.Perhaps he is still "alive" inside the pottery, but is that considered alive?

Shen Ye just glanced at the priest, then turned his gaze away: "Let's find the key first."

Xie Yi hesitated: "But..." Looking at the dead priest, he said slowly, "I think he might be waiting for us."

Waiting for us, and even more waiting for people from Liuyue City to bury him.

He was already far away from Liuyue City, so it is so sad to die in such a foreign land, and it is difficult to escape in such a tomb.

Seeing Xie Yi's sad face, Shen Ye finally sighed and said, "Forget it." Although at the beginning, he planned to deal with the priest after he found the key.

In any case, Shen Ye was the former and current high priest of the Lieshan tribe. Even if he didn't know his name, even if the other party had died long ago, as long as he was a member of the Lieshan tribe, he should bear the due responsibility.

It is unrealistic to take this person away, and it is even more impossible to sink him into the bottom of the water, so Xie Yi and Shen Ye are going to find a cabin or an empty coffin nearby to bury this priest.This is a helpless compromise. Fortunately, this is a tomb ship definitely related to Qin Shihuang. It is not shabby, but it is still there and cannot go back.

But if the clansman personally buried it, this fellow clansman would feel somewhat relieved.

The first cabin is full of pottery figurines, and the coffin where the banquet was held is naturally nowhere to be found.The two were about to leave here and go to the next cabin, but they heard a "bang", something fell from the table.

There was an involuntary pause in their footsteps, and the two of them looked back at the same time, only to find that it was a bartender, slowly shaking back and forth on the floor.But the source is the priest of the Lieshan tribe they want to bury.

Looking at each other, Shen Ye and Xie Yi returned to the original place: "Is it you?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Of course, the priest who turned into a terracotta figurine would not answer, but the bartender was originally placed on his right hand, but now, it rolled down at his feet.

Xie Yi thought for a while and said, "You don't want us to go in?"

What answered him was a hollowed-out gold plate placed on the table slowly moving towards the edge of the table.

"..."

Although they had already imagined it at the beginning, when the facts told them that the priest in front of them was indeed alive, they couldn't think of anything other than shock and regret.

Xie Yi stopped the plate moving forward, and said softly: "If you want us to stay here, please let it be quiet."

As soon as the words were spoken, the force that pushed the golden disc to move really disappeared.

Xie Yi's face became more and more sad, this person is really still "alive".

Just like that, he remained motionless, only his mind could jump, and he couldn't live without wanting to die.

Shen Ye stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looking at the terracotta figurine with unchanged expression: "Did you leave a reminder?"

It was futile to talk about this person's life and death. Although it was a pity, Shen Ye could understand what the priest wanted to convey.

But relying on a person who can't speak, can't see, and they can't communicate, they can't get any news.

The next moment, the two heard a soft "crack" under the mat the priest was sitting on. Although it was faint, both of them heard it.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other, Shen Ye took a step forward and said: "I've offended you." After saying that, he stepped forward and picked up the pottery figurine, and moved it to the nearest place.

Xie Yi removed the mat, and saw that there was a slightly raised floor in the middle of the gold brick floor.Move it away without resistance, and under the gold brick is the wooden brocade box that the two have been looking for for a long time.

"I found it..." Xie Yi said slowly, with some comfort, but also some regret, looking at the sitting pottery figurine, he said softly, "Thank you."

But the terracotta figurine still couldn't answer, the only thing he could do was a "bang"—the golden plate fell to the ground.

The two looked at the slightly vibrating gold plate and didn't speak for a long time.

Xie Yi sighed, didn't say any more, just took out the brocade box, but saw that there were still a few pieces of silk and satin at the bottom, the smudged ink stains, obviously written.Xie Yi took out the silk and satin again, shook it out and looked at it, feeling more and more regretful.

This is all the information that the former priest of Tianji can leave behind.

Looking at it roughly, it is also surprising.

This is not the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and the owner of the tomb is not all the famous Qin II. Unexpectedly, it is the son Fusu who is famous for his benevolence.But it was not the son Fusu who built the tomb, but his younger brother Hu Hai.

Hu Hai, like his father Qin Shihuang, was obsessed with the way of longevity, and after Fusu died, he was even more obsessed to the point of madness.By coincidence, Hu Hai met Chongming, the priest of Tianji at that time. Chongming chose to cooperate with Hu Hai in order to find the key and to protect the Lieshan tribe from being disturbed by Qin.

And Hu Hai somehow knew that the Lieshan tribe was a descendant of Shennong. Even though the Lieshan tribe was only forty years old at the time, he asked Chongming to help him obtain the secret of longevity—after all, the Lieshan tribe’s short life, and The extremely short lifespan of humans is different.

Chongming agreed without thinking at the time, but later, he regretted it for the rest of his life.

When the gods couldn't resist the destiny and died one by one, how could mortals go against the sky?After all, Chongming succeeded in finding the method of longevity, but at the same time, he also failed.

Seeing this, Xie Yi already understood that the so-called longevity probably meant turning into a terracotta figurine and continuing to live.He looked down, and sure enough.

But in fact, Hu Hai didn't intend to use this achievement at the time. After all, the disadvantages were too great. As a king, he couldn't bear to live like that.However, even though Hu Hai is the Second Emperor of Qin, he is still a puppet. He who devoted himself to the study of longevity has long been no match for Zhao Gao who holds real power.

In 207 BC, Hu Hai faked his death in Wangyi Palace and came here with the only remaining troops.But there are enemies on the outside looking at them, and on the inside he is weak and dying. Seeing that the last mausoleum will be lost, Hu Hai goes crazy.

After all, Hu Hai chose to die together. He ignored Chongming's advice and used the semi-finished secret medicine, and even forced everyone, including those craftsmen who were still building the mausoleum, to drink the secret medicine, including Chongming who finally found the key.As a result, Hu Hai kept this last paradise, and became a monster with everyone ever since.

The inside of the terracotta figurine is no longer an ordinary human being, it is a half-dead person between the dead and the living, and Chongming prefers to call it a living corpse.Some living corpses can only be sealed inside the terracotta figurines, while others can break through that layer of shackles and move freely from the beginning.And Hu Hai is obviously the latter.

At the end of the silk and satin, it happened to be the time when Chongming had a premonition that Hu Hai was going crazy.Chongming wrote at the end that he wanted to escape with the key, but if he was unsuccessful, he would be turned into a monster. One day, if the descendants of the Lieshan tribe came here, he would ask them to give him a good time, and he would also be very important. Take important keys away.

The back cabin is the main tomb of Hu Hai and Fu Su. Hu Hai hates intruders the most, so there are many dangers, and latecomers must not enter.

Xie Yi looked at the silk and satin back and forth twice, carefully put it away, turned to his lover, and said, "A Ye, what are you going to do?"

Chongming has explained everything carefully, including his funeral—just transport him to the back cabin, and Hu Hai will definitely come to clean up the intruders, even Chongming who has helped him a lot.

Shen Ye was silent for a moment, and finally said: "...let him be fulfilled."

Xie Yi half closed his eyes, but did not refuse: "Yes."

For Chongming, perhaps death is indeed much happier than becoming a living corpse.

The two of them worked together to move Chongming to the back cabin. Compared with the bright lights in front, this place is more elegant and solemn, and also more empty——empty to the point of dead silence.

Xie Yi bowed to Chongming, then walked back with Shen Ye without looking back.Since you respect the other party, you should preserve his dignity in death.

The two came to the deck, but at this moment the wooden boat was back in the thick fog, and they couldn't see the direction clearly, let alone the transparent flyover.

Obviously, they couldn't go back for a while.

Helpless, Shen Ye and Xie Yi could only stay on the deck. While being on guard, they hoped that the patrolling wooden boat would return under the overpass at some point.

The author has something to say: Let me explain, Jiujue is the cup used by the emperor, high-ranking officials, and relatives of the Qin Dynasty to drink. It is a bit like a wine bottle, like a small tripod (o゜▽゜)o☆
