"Alright, don't be too sad. I'll try my best to speak up for your father. It's good that you're filial. "Now, it's better to consider your next step." Old Zhou comforted the sad Sun Weimin while hinting something. It seemed that he might have some good suggestions, but Sun Weimin and the others really didn't dare to accept his suggestions. Yesterday, the 'mother and daughter fight' was suggested by him, and the result could only be described as a narrow escape.
" Why don't you guys go to the North Desert? If you can go down to the Kunlun crypt with the Dragon Qi, you'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Old Man Zhou saw that Sun Weimin and the other two had no intention of asking for advice, so he could only recommend himself.
"Dragon Qi? You mean there is dragon energy in Mobei? "Just tell me what it is that made it so troublesome." Old Hu had been a lightbulb at the side just now, and now he finally found a chance to speak.
"Old man, don't tell me you want us to catch a dragon? Do you want to harm people again?" Fatty Wang grumbled unhappily. Clearly, he didn't trust Old Man Zhou very much.
" You guys don't know how to appreciate a good person. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even know how to thank me." Old Man Zhou's words were actually a curse. It seemed that the old man was a little unhappy after being wronged.
" What exactly is the Dragon Qi? Tell us first. You have to reveal some information to us before we can make a decision." Sun Weimin spoke up. He was very interested in the connection with the underground cave of Lower Kunlun.
When Old Man Zhou saw that someone had finally come out to ask for advice, his expression immediately changed and he said happily,"If you want to talk about things with abundant dragon energy, it should be--
"Qin Qinxi!" Sun Weimin and the other two were so shocked that they couldn't move. This Qin Xi actually appeared again?
" Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Old Zhou saw that the three of them were moved and began to show off his knowledge again. He told Sun Weimin and the other two about Qin Xi.
It was said that the Qin Seal was made by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, with the Heshi Jade. This Heshi Jade was one of the two treasures in the world during the Warring States Period. It was first recorded in Han Feizi's "New Preface" and other books. It said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a jade-cutting expert named Bian He in the State of Chu who obtained a piece of unpolished jade in Jingshan. Bian He took the unpolished jade to see Chu Li Tu. Li Wang ordered Yu Ding to check, and the jade worker said it was just a stone. King Li was furious and chopped off Bian He's left foot for deceiving the emperor. King Li died and King Wu ascended the throne. Bian He once again held the jade to see King Wu. King Wu ordered the jade worker to check it again. The jade worker still said that it was just a stone, so Bian He lost his right foot again. After King Wu died and King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He held the unpolished jade and cried bitterly at the foot of Mount Chu for two days and two nights. After crying dry, he continued to cry blood. When King Wen heard about it, he sent someone to ask why. Bian He said, I'm not crying because my legs were chopped off, but because Baoyu was treated like a stone, and loyal people were treated as people who deceived the emperor. They were innocent but were tortured and humiliated. Therefore, King Wen ordered people to cut open this piece of unpolished jade. Seeing that it was really a rare jade, he named it He's Wall.
Later. The State of Chu proposed to Zhao Hui and sent He Shibi to the State of Zhao. In 283 B.C., the State of Qin heard that the State of Zhao had the He's Wall and proposed to exchange fifteen cities. As the State of Zhao was weak and the State of Qin was strong, the State of Zhao did not dare to neglect it, but they were unwilling to do so. They sent Lin Xiangru, who was both intelligent and resourceful, to the State of Qin. Lin Xiangru knew that there was a trap, so he secretly sent the wall back to Zhao. This matter is recorded in detail in Sima Qian's Records of the Historian.
However, later on, the He's Wall was still owned by the Qin State. As for when and how it was owned by the Qin State, there was no record in history. In the 10th year of the reign of the King of Qin, Li Si mentioned in the Book of Remonstrance: "Today, Your Majesty has given me a treasure that is easy to follow.”The "treasure of easygoing" referred to the "pearl of the Marquis"(night pearl) and the "wall of the He family", two famous treasures at that time. It was very likely that the Zhao Country had no choice but to give the He Clan Wall to the Qin Country because they were afraid of the Qin Country's strength.
In the year 221 B.C., Ying Zheng of the Qin Dynasty unified the Celestial Dynasty and was known as the First Emperor. He ordered Prime Minister Li Si to use the Heshi jade as the emperor's seal, and ordered Prime Minister Li Si to write the eight characters of " Receiving orders from heaven, longevity and longevity " in seal characters, which looked like dragons, phoenixes and birds. Wang Sunshou, a jade craftsman in Xianyang, carefully ground the Heshi jade and carved it into the seal. It was passed down from generation to generation, hence it was called the " Imperial Seal ". From then on, it became the imperial seal of the past emperors. Anyone who claimed to be an emperor would look for this seal to establish their reputation.
According to the Records of the Historian, in the ninth year of the reign of the King of Qin, the imperial seal was created. After Liu Bang destroyed the Qin Dynasty and gained the world, Zi Ying gave the imperial seal to Liu Bang, and the imperial seal became the "Han-handed national space". At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the imperial seal fell into the hands of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu successively, and then passed on to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the period of the Five Hu Sixteen Kingdoms, it was once popular among the powerful countries and was later inherited by the Southern Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty, the imperial seal was brought to the Turks by Empress Dowager Xiao of the Chen Dynasty until the fourth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan reign (630 AD). During the Five Dynasties, chaos ensued. Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou established their own countries one after another. The Imperial Jade Seal once again experienced the chaos of the world. In the winter of 936 AD, Li Congke, the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, was besieged by the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. Li Congke and his empresses and concubines set themselves on fire in the Heavenly Star Tower and died. It was said that Li Congke carried the Imperial Seal with him at that time. However, after the fire, the people could not find any trace of the seal among the ashes. They could not even find a stone that looked slightly like the seal. At this point, the imperial seal that had been passed down was unknown.
"No more? Old man, don't keep me in suspense. What happened after that?”The more Old Hu listened, the more excited he became. Seeing that Old Zhou was not going to say anything, he was so anxious that he kept urging him.
When Old Man Zhou heard this, he said helplessly,"It was lost later and never appeared again."
"Then you want us to go to Mobei? You're not honest. There must be some secret you're not telling us!”Old Hu Ke wasn't stupid. He was sure that Old Zhou knew about the 'second part' just to make things difficult for the three of them.
" Uncle Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it at once. Don't make things difficult for us." Sun Weimin began to use sugar-coated bullets under Old Hu's signal. He even called him uncle.
Old Man Zhou smiled and thought,"I don't believe that you three money-grubber aren't tempted. You can't help it now, right?" So he continued,"But?"
When Old Man Zhou opened his mouth, Sun Weimin and the other two listened attentively.
Old Man Zhou seemed very satisfied when he saw the expressions of the three people. He continued," It's not that there are no rumors among the people. One of the more reliable ones is that during the Yuan Dynasty, after the death of Shuo De, the grandson of the Grand Preceptor King, his wife was seriously ill and his son was only nine years old. His family was in a difficult situation, so he entrusted a piece of precious jade from his family to the Yushitai Tongshi Kuo Kuo Shu to sell in the market. Because it was not an ordinary item, no one dared to buy it. Later, it was bought by the powerful minister Bayan. He saw that it was a black jade talisman. It was four inches square. The dragon was coiled and coiled. The four sides could be bounded. The middle hole was horizontal. The seal characters were painted with the shapes of insects, birds, fish and dragons. After Yang Huan, the censor of supervision, identified it, the inscription was "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity". Thus, he was confirmed to be Qin Xi."
"You mean Qin Xi was brought to the North Desert?”Old Hu was much more polite to Old Zhou now. He even started to address him respectfully.
"There are only rumors that Bayan once grinded all the seals collected by the Yuan Dynasty and distributed them to the princes and ministers to make their personal seals. I'm afraid the imperial seal is in there.”Old Man Zhou voiced his concerns.
"Ah, it's been ground flat? This was too much. When Fatty Wang heard that the number one treasure in the world would be worn down like this, he felt a great heartache as if he had lost a piece of meat.
" I think it's about the same. The Yuan Dynasty destroyed more than 100 countries. They fought to the west and conquered Bagoda. They fought to the north and conquered Germany and France. They probably collected about 1,800 seals. It's not strange to grind them and distribute them as private seals," Old Hu also felt that something was wrong and expressed his opinion.
"However, things are not that bad. Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang gained the world as a commoner. When he heard that the Yuan Dynasty had obtained the national seal and that it had been taken by Emperor Yuan Shun to the north of the desert, he did not hesitate to send Xu Da to lead hundreds of thousands of troops into the desert in order to recapture this treasure. Minister Xie Jin also took this opportunity to ask for a ceasefire in order to benefit the people. Later on, Li Wenzhong went on a second expedition and captured the consorts and kings of the Yuan Dynasty. He obtained some jade seals of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but there was no trace of the national seal. From this point of view, it was very likely that Qin Xi wasn't destroyed but brought to the north of the desert. Old Zhou continued to guide Sun Weimin and the other two.
"The North Desert is so big, where are we going to find it? "It's even harder than finding a needle in a haystack," Sun Weimin complained.
After hearing this, Old Man Zhou ignored him and continued," After the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty fled to the north of the desert, they established Northern Yuan, and the 'King Lu City' of Northern Yuan's last capital is in the north of the desert. Why don't you go and take a look?"
When Sun Weimin and the other two heard that Old Man Zhou had finally hit the nail on the head, they heaved a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves,'This old thing loves to show off. After going around in circles, he finally hit the nail on the head.' After the three of them communicated with their eyes, they said in unison,"Okay!" Let's go to 'Lu King City'!"
