Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 805

"So, you were abandoned?" Di Qing asked suspiciously.

Linlin shook her head and said, "My lord father didn't abandon us. I think it must be because our life and death are unknown, and my lord father has to protect hundreds of other virgins, so I had no choice but to leave."

"That's right. We originally wanted to follow my father to the 'Plain Guangze', but facing the vast sea, we would die if we ventured out to sea. We had no choice but to live on the island and build a boat by the way. We planned to leave when we grew up. But something unexpected happened to us. We have lived on the island for more than ten years, but our bodies have not changed at all, and we are still the same as the children in those days! Only then did we know that we have been trapped on the island .” Yan Nanfei said.

"It's amazing, how can you live forever?" Di Qing asked excitedly.

Yan Nanfei frowned and said, "We thought about this before, maybe it's because of eating those fruits!"

"Longevity fruit? So there really is such a magical thing in the world!" Di Qing said with emotion.

Wanyu said: "Immortality is a dream for many people in the world. But longevity has to pay a price. Our price is that our body will always maintain a child's body shape. For us, it is a dream. It is a kind of luck, but it is also a curse. For hundreds of years, we have been trying to get rid of the curse all the time, but there has been no progress. More than a hundred years ago, we met a man named Yuan Tiangang, and he told us, Said that we are not cursed, but have a disease. But he is not proficient in medicine, so he asked me to wait, and said that after more than a hundred years, someone will come to heal us."

"Yuan Tiangang? Have you seen him?" Li Canghai asked hurriedly, his heart moved.

Yan Nanfei nodded and said: "Mr. Yuan went out to sea to search for immortals, but he also encountered shipwreck and was rescued by us. Mr. Yuan is a pedant of heaven and man, knows the past and future, and we had a good chat. He and we got along for a while. After a while, I left the island, and I haven't seen him since."

Li Canghai lowered his head and began to ponder. Yuan Tiangang once searched for the elixir of immortality for Tang Taizong, but before he brought back the elixir of longevity, Tang Taizong died.

Thinking about it now, it's not that Yuan Tiangang didn't find the elixir of life, but deliberately concealed the matter.

If Tang Taizong knew that Yan Nanfei and others had lived for more than 800 years, he would arrest them at all costs and force them to hand over the medicine of longevity, what's more, he might eat their flesh and blood!
After all, faced with the allure of immortality, humans can do crazy things.

Although Yuan Tiangang knew that they were immortal, he never disclosed their whereabouts to outsiders. This alone made Li Canghai respect Yuan Tiangang very much.

"Since Yuan Tiangang knows the secret of your longevity, didn't he take the longevity fruit away?" Di Qing asked.

Wanyu shook her head, looked at Li Canghai and said, "At that time, there was only one longevity fruit left. I wanted to give this fruit to Mr. Yuan, but he declined. When I left, I only took my father and stayed in the shrine. One of the brocade boxes."

"A brocade box? But a brocade box of this size with a pitch-black body?" Li Canghai's heart moved, and he hurriedly gestured.

Wanyu nodded in surprise, "It's exactly this size, how did Brother Li know?"

Li Canghai didn't speak, but his heart was as bright as a mirror.

At the beginning, the brocade box found in the Luoyang underground palace was left by Yuan Tiangang.

At that time, he still felt strange, where did Yuan Tiangang get this brocade box, but now he understands it.

This brocade box was actually obtained from Wanyu and the others.

"It's strange. Yuan Tiangang was ordered to find the medicine of longevity for Emperor Taizong. He found the longevity fruit, but he didn't take it away. Instead, he took a box. What was Yuan Tiangang thinking?" Di Qing frowned.

Li Canghai pondered and said: "The reason why Yuan Tiangang did this is first to protect them from being disturbed, and the second is to find Emperor Taizong. After all, this brocade box is related to the first emperor, so it is logical that the elixir of life will be It pointed to the Qinhuangdao. However, before Yuan Tiangang found the Qinhuangdao, Emperor Taizong passed away."

"Well, although it's a bit reluctant, it makes sense. But in this way, doesn't it mean that there is no longevity medicine in Qinhuangling's Mausoleum?" Di Qing asked.

"Eternal longevity medicine and longevity fruit are two different substances and should not be confused with each other. No matter what, I must find the entrance of Emperor Qin's Mausoleum." Li Canghai said firmly.

After a pause, Li Canghai then asked several people: "How did your bodies recover?"

Linlin said with a sad expression, "The reason why we were able to recover was all thanks to the medical records left by Dr. Xu. After Brother Li left, we followed the method left by Dr. Xu and entered the cave where the longevity fruit was located. Some highly poisonous mushrooms, combined with what Dr. Xu said before, fighting poison with poison, cured the body. However, Dr. Xu failed to see our recovery with his own eyes... "

As she spoke, Linlin choked up.

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "Doctor Xu is a benevolent doctor. If you can recover, Dr. Xu will be relieved to know. By the way, how did you come here?"

Yan Nanfei said: "The main purpose of coming here this time is to fulfill my father's last wish and return this object to the imperial mausoleum. By the way, I will accompany Linlin to visit Big Brother Li."

"What is this?" Di Qing asked curiously when she saw Yan Nanfei took out a strangely shaped wooden box from her bosom.

This wooden box is only about the size of a palm, and it is made of thousand-year-old golden nan. There is a crystal clear round bead inlaid in the middle. Nebula flows faintly in the bead, which is very strange.

"This is Linlin's thing. Linlin is my father's own daughter. My father gave it to her before going to sea, and said that there is a huge secret hidden in it. Whoever owns this secret will be able to own the world. .My father left this secret in order to prevent what he did from being known by the first emperor one day, so he arranged the way out. Now, hundreds of years have passed since Daqin, and this thing is no longer useful. We wait So I want to return this object to the imperial mausoleum." Yan Nanfei said.

Li Canghai took the wooden box and looked at it, only to see a few words engraved on the nanmu on both sides of the ball.

After careful identification, Li Canghai found that it was four ancient seal characters: Liuhe Order.

"My father gave it to me. According to him, this object was made by combining alchemists and Mohist mechanism techniques. It was originally buried with the first emperor." Linlin whispered.

Li Canghai looked at it several times, then returned the wooden box to Linlin.

"How did you get here?" Li Canghai continued to ask.
