Chapter 216 Business Transaction
"Those ancient swords are the keys to the imperial tomb?" Lin Yicheng's answer surprised him.
"Yes, there are seven in total. Each country of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period has one. Collect these seven ancient swords to open the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang." Lin Yicheng sat back on the sofa and nodded.
"Why did Emperor Qin leave the key to his tomb?" I frowned. The tomb is a place where a person will sleep after his death. It seems that there is no need to leave a mechanism to open it, so I do not agree with Lin Yicheng's so-called key.
"Qin Shihuang didn't know that these ancient swords could open his imperial tomb at that time," Lin Yicheng shook his head slowly. "After unifying the six kingdoms, he did not destroy the ancient swords but buried them in the graves of the capitals of the six kingdoms. It was also to uphold the ancestral teachings."
"What ancestral teachings?" I asked, and the reason why I didn't ask him why Qin Shihuang didn't know that these ancient swords could open his tomb was because he thought it was secretly left by the supervisor or minister who built the tomb. Later, I realized that my guess was not correct.
"This has to start with a man in the late Spring and Autumn Period," Lin Yicheng pondered for a moment, "This kind man was abandoned by his father when he was a child because of his ugly appearance. Later, Yu couldn't bear to take him back. When he grew up, he was nine feet and six inches tall, knowledgeable and talented, leading his disciples to travel around the country to promote a gentle way of governing the country. Although he was talented, he did not value him. In the end, he died of depression. Does Section Chief Yu know who this person is?"
"Grass, who can grow more than three meters?" King Kong Cannon couldn't help but speak. I had told him not to talk too much, but this guy still couldn't help it. He revealed his Biao as soon as he opened his mouth. The size in ancient times was different from today. One foot in the Qin Dynasty was only 0.23 meters, and one foot in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was about 0.33 meters, which was about the same size as what he said today.
"Are you talking about him?" I stretched out my two fingers holding the cigarette.
"Haha, Section Chief Yu is so humorous." Lin Yicheng nodded and smiled.
"When he was alive, he was not yet Qin Shihuang. What did he have to do with Qin Shihuang?" I did not say the name of this person.
"He lived in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the situation in the Warring States Period had not yet taken shape, but he had predicted the subsequent situation. When he traveled around the countries, he distributed the seven magical artifacts he carried with him to the later Qixiong." Lin Yicheng's face was solemn and no longer as if he was joking.
"It's those seven ancient swords?" King Kong Cannon interjected.
"As far as I know, it was not a sword at the beginning, but it was cast into a sword later." Lin Yicheng turned his head and looked at the King Kong Cannon. He was not familiar with the King Kong Cannon. Answering the King Kong Cannon question helped to narrow the distance between them.
"What is the purpose of his gift of those seven items?" I asked.
"This saint loves peace and hopes to make the people live and work in peace through his own efforts. Giving out magical tools should have the intention of determining sovereignty and peaceful coexistence," Lin Yicheng shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the things were sent out, but war could not be avoided."
"The United States doesn't listen to the United Nations, and he really treats himself as a dish," King Kongpao turned his head to look at me, "Old Yu, who is this person?"
When talking to the King Kong Pao, I can’t play a puzzle anymore. I had to whisper the name of the saint, and the King Kong Pao suddenly realized it.
"What my senior brother said makes sense. Why should he believe that those in power will follow his advice and keep their duties unstoppable?" I lit a cigarette again.
"Every time he goes to a country, the monarch of that country will give him a high salary. Why is that?" Lin Yicheng answered my question with a question.
"Although I gave him a very high salary, no one seemed to have really valued him." I stared at Lin Yicheng.
"He has the talent of heaven and earth, why didn't the people in power value him?" Lin Yicheng looked at me.
"You are the one who dug his grave, and you should answer this question." I was defeated and talking to Lin Yicheng was too wasteful of brain cells. I was not his opponent.
"I didn't dig his tomb, I just went to the cave where his father abandoned him." Lin Yicheng told him frankly.
"What did you find?" I asked curiously.
"It's been too long, and there are no valuable clues, but I figured out why his height is far beyond ordinary people, why his brain is so smart, and how ugly he was when he was born, so that his father wanted to throw him away." Lin Yicheng sold it at the critical moment.
After Lin Yicheng finished speaking, I did not take the initiative immediately, but looked at him with a smile. The only reason why he ran over was that he wanted to ask me for help. I couldn't be led by him. Although I couldn't fight him, I was more than enough to protect myself. I didn't speak until the end of the day. He must be the one who was anxious.
"Actually, those in power in those days did not want to reuse him, but did not dare," Lin Yicheng finally spoke first, "He is too smart. Those people are afraid that he will take over the leader, and the fierce Che Ling Shuai."
Lin Yicheng's answer was not satisfied with me. He obviously hid the real reason, but he was not on the same front with him at this moment, so he had no right to share his information. However, now he has also thought about some clues, that is, the reason why the ancient swords made by the artifacts were left in the ancient tombs everywhere may be related to the promises made by the ruler of Qin to this saint. Qin Shihuang must have known about this matter, but he did not fully abide by it, but made a big strait.
At this moment, the phone rang, King Kongpao took the call, and the guesthouse had prepared lunch for us.
The atmosphere of this meal was quite harmonious. I warmly welcomed Lin Yicheng and Meizhu. As the saying goes, I will be a guest from afar, so I will still have the friendship of landlords.
After returning to the room after dinner, I did not continue the previous topic, but talked with Lin Yicheng about some unofficial history and miscellaneous stories from ancient times. Lin Yicheng's knowledge was quite profound and talkative. Mei Zhu always sat next to him with expressionless face. The most uncomfortable thing was the King Kong Cannon. He couldn't understand what we said at all. In the end, he couldn't hold it in and ran to another room to watch TV.
When Lin Yicheng saw King Kong Pao leave, he turned to look at Mei Zhu, who put down his bag and walked out.
"Section Chief Yu, I came here this time to discuss business with you." Lin Yicheng straightforwardly.
"The National Security Bureau does not allow business." I laughed.
"To be honest, Section Chief Yu, don't be accustomed. I can't find your files in Guoan, but I've read all other information." Lin Yicheng knew that I would be angry that he investigated me privately, so he said to me, "Don't be accustomed."
"What did you find?" I took back my smile and lit a cigarette. No one likes to be investigated by others, and I am no exception.
"I didn't mean to peek at the section chief **. I wanted to find your hobby to bribe you." Lin Yicheng laughed out loud. His frankness reduced my dissatisfaction a lot.
"Haha, then what do you think I'm interested in?" I took out a cigarette and handed him one. Although Lin Yicheng also smoked, he never smoked a single one after he arrived, which shows that this person has a strong tolerance.
"Secretary Yu is a Taoist sect and is now working for the country. Naturally, wealth and sex will not impress you," Lin Yicheng took the cigarette and lit it, opened his bag and took out a stack of paper and handed it to me, "Is this OK?"
I reached out to take it and found that there were two documents, one was a permanent lease contract for three peaks around Ziyang Temple, and the other was an approval document for Ziyang Temple to be a legal religion, and the dates of the two documents were not long.
"What do you want me to do?" I handed him the document. I was naturally moved by Lin Yicheng's gift. He must have spent a lot of energy and financial resources to handle it. However, the more the gift it means the harder it is to ask me to do. No one dares to pick up the pie falling from the sky.
"How many classmates are there in Section Chief Yu?" Lin Yicheng did not put forward the conditions, but asked me how many classmates are there.
"What are you asking about this?" I looked at him in confusion.
"I won't tell lies in front of the real person. In fact, it's not only me who are looking for the ancient sword of the Warring States Period. There is another group of people who are also looking for it. Mei Zhu had been here some time ago, but it turned out that the spells and techniques they used in spells were very similar to Gongyang Qingshuang." Lin Yicheng's so-called spells are the truth we say. Mei Zhu will naturally tell him the relationship between Gongyang Qingshuang and me. No wonder he asked me how many fellow disciples I have. It turned out that he was suspected that it was done by other people from Ziyang Temple.
"What are the characteristics of this group of people?" I frowned. I suspected that the three sentry's deaths were caused by the Soul Search Technique to pull out the Yang Soul. Unexpectedly, my suspicion was actually proven.
"I have never seen it with my own eyes, but according to Mei Zhu, they are not very good at Taoism and act ruthlessly and quickly. They should be mercenaries, and the weapons they use have obvious characteristics of the Soviet system." No matter how smart Lin Yicheng was, he was omitted, and the word "一" means that he was also using mercenaries.
After hearing Lin Yicheng's words, I suddenly fell into deep thought. Mercenaries should not know Taoism. Unless someone teaches them, the person who teaches them Taoism obviously has no good intentions, otherwise they would not be allowed to use the Soul Search Technique to kill people. What made me most suspicious was Lin Yicheng's last sentence "Su system characteristics". The mines placed on Long Wufeng's remains have obvious Su system characteristics. Could the other group of people Lin Yicheng mentioned are the old fifth Ye Aofeng?
"These people have nothing to do with me, don't worry about this." I thought for a long time before speaking.
"That's good. I will find a way to buy the three ancient swords they took away." Lin Yicheng took a long breath.
"What the hell do you want me to do for you?" I repeated my question.
"After I gathered all seven ancient swords, please help me find the imperial tomb." Lin Yicheng looked up at me solemnly.
"How do you know that the seven ancient swords can be opened if you haven't found the imperial tomb?" I asked in confusion.
"First... my father told me that I know some things very limited." Lin Yicheng hesitated.
"Can you tell me why you have to look for Qin Shihuang's tomb?" I took out a cigarette and lit one. Lin Yicheng's crazy state did not seem to be just for money.
"Section Chief Yu is willing to help me?" Lin Yicheng did not answer my question.
"Eat the king's fortune and share the worries for you." I looked at the two documents in his hand and smiled. The approval from the General Administration of Religion was too important. With it, Ziyang Temple would be legal.
"Are Section Chief Yu confident to find the imperial tomb?" Lin Yicheng's breath fluctuated violently, and he could see his inner excitement.
"After you find Qi Qi ancient swords, I will definitely find the imperial tomb for you." I focused on it.
"Trade!" Lin Yicheng handed over the documents in his hand.
"Trade!" I reached out and took the two documents.
Although Lin Yicheng seemed to be heartbroken to me on the surface, it was not that true in his heart. First, he hid the source of the news. Second, he hid the secret of the saint. Third, he hid the material of the ancient sword. Fourth, he hid the motivation to enter the imperial tomb.
What he revealed to me was just some irrelevant side branches. Merchants are neither good nor bad people. Merchants are merchants. He will not do a loser, but this time he will pay.
Humph, go find it.
