Qi Bai and I walked in, and the light of the flashlight swept to the end.At the bottom of the cave is a stone platform with simple lines, with a pair of stone beasts on each side. A huge stone tablet is engraved with the words "Tomb of Emperor Jianwen of Ming Dynasty". Under the big characters are the words "Minister so-and-so, so-and-so Gongli". There are about a dozen names of people. It can be seen that when Emperor Jianwen died, at least a dozen people who fled with him were still alive. Looking at the date again, it is "Spring and February of the twenty-eighth year of Jianwen". Emperor Jianwen died in the fourth year of Jianwen. It can be known that he lived in this cave for twenty-four years. Thinking about such days, I don't know how It was a bit chilling to get over it.Qi Bai's voice trembled a little. "He... died long ago, he was really a ghost!"

I scolded: "Nonsense, he is human!" Qi Bai's thoughts were obviously very confused: "He... escaped from the grave?" I was annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about, that person is that person, and the dead is dead, it has nothing to do with it!" Qi Bai turned his head and stared at me: "I can't say it's irrelevant, you said it yourself, the soul of a dead person may interfere with that person's brain activity!" I felt at a loss: "If the wandering soul wants to find someone, no matter who it is, there will always be someone who will be chosen by him!"

Qi Bai's words reminded me: "By the way, finding out what this person's original identity is will be of great help to understanding the whole strange thing." Qi Bai's eyes were straight, looking at the tombs, his appearance was similar to that of the man after I slapped him. I know what's wrong with him. He's a tomb robber. Suddenly, he saw so many ancient tombs.It's like an alcoholic who is addicted to alcohol and suddenly sees all around him is full of good wine, he will have unstoppable actions! I hurriedly stretched out my hand and tugged at his sleeve: "Look clearly, it's just placed in a cave, it's not the emperor's mausoleum at all 1"

Qi Bai heard my words, it can be seen that his demeanor has not changed.I was reminding him that the ancient tomb here is not worth excavating, because everyone can see that it was just a hasty burial, or even some stones piled on top of the coffin. But Qi Bai seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, he waved his hand abruptly: "I have to open it to see, after all, he is an emperor, there are always some rare treasures, buried with him." I smiled wryly: "Then you don't think there are enough treasures in the mansion?" Qi Bai's answer was straightforward: "I am a tomb robber, I only take things from the tomb, a handful of precious relics, accompanied by the dead, often buried in the ground, that is one of the countless ignorant behaviors of human beings, it must be broken! That huge house is not an ancient tomb, I won't move the contents inside!"

I gave him this unreasonable reasoning, and I couldn't help laughing. I saw that although the "Tomb of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty" was simple, it was all made of square and neat marble. Bai obviously doesn't have any large-scale excavation tools on him, let's see how he can "break it open and have a look"! When I thought of this, I didn't say anything anymore, and put on a look of standing on the sidelines, watching with cold eyes.Qi Bai glanced at me, saw that I was no longer obstructing, and immediately understood what I meant, and blinked at me, with an expression of "let's see what the old man does".

In the next half an hour, I finally realized how powerful Qi Bai's thieves are! I saw that he took out a pair of narrow and long tool bags from nowhere—it’s not uncommon, many habitual thieves carry such tool bags with them, but when he unwrapped them, I saw the inside. Tools, all of which have never been seen before, are mostly very sharp and slender. He took one of the chopstick-like metal rods, which looked like a drill bit, and sure enough, he put it on a hand-cranked device, picked a stone crevice, and began to drill holes. The drill bit was extremely sharp, and the stone powder fell down one after another. In less than two minutes, it had penetrated about fifteen centimeters.

He drilled five holes in a row, each about 30 centimeters apart, and then took out another leather bag and opened it.I was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You want to use explosives? Don't forget that we are in a cave!" Qi Bai typed a "haha": "Don't worry, the combined knowledge of explosives used by bombers all over the world is not as good as mine!" He carefully stuffed the brown powdery high explosives into the small holes, and then installed the lead wire, the detonator—these small tools on his body appeared in endlessly, grasping the same thing, touching the same thing, and taking the same thing, inexhaustible. , It looks like it's playing magic.

That explosion sound, even if heard in the cave, would not be louder than opening three bottles of champagne wine at the same time. It can be seen that Qi Bai is really good at using explosives. He calculated the force of the explosive explosion and pushed it inward as much as possible. Only then can it play a better role in blasting. Moreover, after the explosion, there was not much smoke, and it could be clearly seen immediately that there were five stones, each protruding by 20 meters, and they were obviously loose! Qi Bai walked over and removed a piece. At this moment, I couldn't help admiring him from the bottom of my heart, and walked over to help.After the five stones were removed, a large hole appeared.Qi Bai's flashlight shone inward, and he saw a very elegant coffin on a stone platform that was not very high. The space of the tomb was not very large. Tall terracotta figures.

Qi Bai shortened his body and got in from the hole, concentrating on how to open the tomb, I hurriedly said: "Qi Bai, anyway, you will come here anytime within a year, don't rush to open the tomb !" Qi Bai raised his head—maybe it was my psychological effect, I actually felt that there was a strange and frantic light in his eyes. Usually, only the wild dogs on the mass graves who ate dead human flesh would have this This terrible light shines in the eyes! I was horrified, but what Qi Bai said at this time was very rational: "You don't want to make sure, is there a corpse in this coffin?"

I sighed, until now, Qi Bai is still suspecting that "Emperor Jianwen" might be an "old ghost" who escaped from the coffin! I snorted: "Go and prove it, I'm going outside to get some fresh air." Qi Bai had already inserted an unknown tool into the gap under the coffin, and let out a "la" sound.When I turned around and walked out of the cave, I heard the unpleasant sound of metal sawing. When I got outside the cave, I naturally looked down first, and saw that the man was still standing there numbly. Everyone could tell from his look that he was a complete mental patient.And it is the hopeless kind, who has almost lost the ability to live alone!

But before I slapped him, he was an out-and-out "emperor"!I don't think my slap will turn a normal person into this, but I can be sure that there must be a huge change in this person before and after I slap, but I don't know What has changed! Looking back, Qi Bai was still in the tomb. It seemed that he was working hard. From that cave, there was a flickering light shining in the whole cave, which looked very strange. I guess it will take him a lot of time, and, for the result, I can be sure - there is naturally a corpse in the coffin, it is the corpse of Emperor Jianwen who has been a mystery in history! Qi Bai's discovery is a great historical and archaeological discovery, but there are more and more mysterious phenomena waiting for me to discover: He is obviously a modern person, how can he think he is an ancient person?Moreover, such a secret place was unexpectedly discovered! I decided to face that person again, to see if I could find some clues to solve the puzzle on him.I said loudly to the cave: "I'm going down first!" Then, I walked out of the cave and went down the stone steps until I came to the man. It wasn't long after I left that person, or when I came in front of him again, I was really shocked. He was still wearing the extremely gorgeous and beautifully embroidered brocade robe, but his expression was dull, but There are further trends. If you don't know who he is at all, and you see him for the first time, you will undoubtedly confirm that he is an idiot at once! Only an idiot can have such a demented look.Ordinary mentally ill patients, although they also have dementia, but they rarely have the innate dementia look of a born idiot! I was stunned for a while. Originally, I wanted to find some clues on him, but now seeing such a situation, it is obviously impossible.I looked at him, and he also looked at me with a very dull expression, and I sighed. I was very curious, if he still had the ability to imitate, then he might understand what I said, so I asked word by word: "Who are you?" He stayed for a while longer and repeated my last word: "Man!" "I asked again where are you from?" He said one more word: "Come on!" This is the case for five or six sentences in a row.It appears that he has some degree of sentience, but by no means complete, and his speech is very low, all of which are characteristic of congenital dementia. It is not uncommon for a person to be born with dementia. The question is why not so long ago, he could dance a sword, scold traitors, know so many historical secrets, know so many details of the emperor's life and the secret history of the palace?Why did he regard himself as a person who had been dead for more than five hundred years? What force invaded his brain? I let out a long sigh, and the person in front of me also let out an "ah". I don't regret slapping him and making everything look like this—if this is his true face, So this is a great discovery.Because even when he was mentally normal, he always thought he was Emperor Jianwen, but he was a lunatic at all. I also thought, if he is a congenital idiot, will there be any marks on him? Generally speaking, if the idiot is afraid of wandering around and has no care, he will wear identification objects. I searched my body, but found nothing. He was very obedient and didn't resist at all, reacting like a baby. My common sense tells me that, generally speaking, this kind of idiot has a huge brain dysfunction and can hardly have any normal activities! I looked at him sideways for a while, and the saliva on his mouth was very long, and he didn't know how to wipe it off. I estimated that at least half an hour had passed, and when I looked up, there was no special movement in the cave.I feel a little resentful of what Qi Bai is doing at this time, so I don't rush him, I just walk around by myself, imagining that Emperor Jianwen lived in seclusion in this cave for more than 20 years in order to avoid being hunted down. year scenario. More than 500 years ago, even if there was a large-scale search all over the world, due to the inconvenience of transportation and communication, the efficiency was compared with modern times.Naturally, the distance is very far away. It is speculated that Emperor Jianwen could still leave the cave and appear nearby. At that time, he must have been dressed as a monk, and he had been seen by others, so there is a legend that Emperor Jianwen dressed as a monk appeared near Shiwanda Mountain. If Ming Chengzu tried his best to search for his whereabouts in order to fear that he would make a comeback, it would be a bit of a fuss, because it seems that he is by no means a man of great talent and boldness, not enough to compete with Ming Chengzu for the world.He actually thought of committing suicide, so we know he is weak-willed——Thinking of this, I suddenly shuddered: Did he really commit suicide when he died in his prime? I just thought of this, when I heard Qi Bai calling out from above, I looked up.Qi Bai waved his hand to me from above, and made a gesture at the same time, indicating that he would come down immediately. I saw that when he came down, he had a small leather pocket around his waist, which was naturally his harvest from the tomb robbery. After he got down, he looked a little weird, and he looked at the man first. Blunted: "Look at his expression, he is a congenital idiot!" I called out: "He was originally—it seems that you have gained a lot?" Qi Bai hurriedly patted the leather pocket: "Would you like to take a look, we can share equally, there are some good things!" I sighed: "Qi Bai, you have enough good things. Stealing all kinds of ancient tombs, even if you can avoid all kinds of dangers, is not a very decent thing after all. You can stop it and stop it!" Qi Bai rolled his eyes: "I just pretended I didn't hear it, and you don't have to say it in the future. I know you won't care about anything, but there are many porcelain statues in that huge house, which are extremely exquisite, and can replace you by the doctor." The broken statue of Li Bai!" I shook my head, and said naturally: "If it is up to me, I would rather have that precious sword. I believe it is the best among ancient swords!" When Qi Bai heard it, at first he seemed to want to laugh at me, but I couldn't help being greedy—people are always a little greedy, and that sword is really cute—but then, he showed a strange expression. I hurriedly asked him: "After you opened the coffin, what did you see?" Qi Bai said "hmm": "It's very ordinary. As an emperor, he is very sloppy and has turned into bones, but...but...he really...was wiped his neck to death, cut his neck with a very sharp weapon, he His neck bone was also cut in half!" I was suddenly shocked—I thought about this question just now, and it was immediately confirmed that the sharp sword was the weapon used by Emperor Jianwen to commit suicide? I stayed for a while, Qi Bai was also startled, and after a while, he said: "If Emperor Jianwen used that sword to commit suicide, then this person also behaved in the same way, we can know his... It was completely controlled by Emperor Jianwen's actions back then, just like... just like..." For a while, he couldn't come up with a suitable analogy, so I took it up. "It's like using the same software on different computers, and the response is to repeat the same program!" In an instant, both he and I felt a chill, and my thoughts were very disordered, but I was still in the disorder, and I figured out a clue. What I thought of was, the memory of a person (anyone) in his life, If it becomes a set of programs, it is a software that can be recorded, then, theoretically speaking, if this program is input into another person's brain, the person whose data is input will be completely recorded.The program to live, think and act! The problem is that so far, it seems that there is no method that can separate people's memory and thoughts into software, and I have never heard of any method that can input another person's thoughts and memories into another person's brain. , and it works. This kind of thing is barely explained by practical science, and the nouns used are the same as those generally written in books, but it is much simpler if it is written in traditional metaphysics. The so-called thinking means that people die The subsequent existence is the soul, which is injected into the upper body. The whole process is extremely simple, that is, the soul enters a human body. Naturally, all the words and deeds of this human body are the same as that soul! This kind of thing has happened many times in the unofficial records of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, but this time like "Emperor Jianwen", it is just too special! As I was thinking about it, my expression naturally changed according to what I thought, Qi Bai is a smart person, he must know that I thought of something extremely weird, he hurriedly said: "God, what did you think of?" I pointed at the man, and said with certainty, "I can conclude that Emperor Jianwen's soul once entered his brain, and the shock caused by my slap made the soul leave again!" Qi Bai was stunned for a moment: "Then what about him? Could it be that he himself has no soul?" I said: "The soul is thoughts and memories, what kind of memories and thoughts would a congenital idiot have?" Qi Bai was shocked: "You mean, an idiot who was attacked by Emperor Jianwen's soul, so he considers himself Emperor Jianwen?" I nodded: "So, he has always thought that he is a real historical figure-his body is similar to a robot. Whatever information you input, he is who he is. It was after he thought he was Emperor Jianwen that he found this. The secret place, this is the place where he lived in seclusion, he has this memory, so it is not difficult to find it here." Qi Bai was stunned for a long while, then looked at the man fiercely for a while, and then suddenly said a very useful opinion: "If this is the case, then when he comes, he will definitely not have the emperor's body on him. Clothes—thoughts can't conjure real things, we can search in that huge mansion to find his original clothes, then it will be of great help to understand his origin!" I slapped him hard on the shoulder: "Good idea! In that huge mansion, where do you put the changed clothes?" Qi Bai turned his head and thought for a while: "Of course there are eunuchs in charge of clothes to put them away. Well, of course there are no eunuchs now... He... is most likely to be in the bathroom, I know where the bathroom is!" I was very excited in my heart, and I took that person and walked to the old house again.That person is very obedient, he doesn't even have the ability to judge the direction, when he needs to turn, if he doesn't take him with him, although he won't be able to brush it off, he must stand at the corner, not knowing what to do. Seeing this situation, Qi Bai also forgave me: "Oh, look at this situation, he... didn't become like this because of your palm!" I was angry: "If the power of my palm is sufficient, it can indeed make people like this, do you want to try it?" Qi Bai's face changed color: "Are you kidding me!" But then he sighed again: "He is now like this, people think it is pitiful, but he himself may not be in pain. Compared with when he was emperor, I think he is much happier!" When I heard Qi Bai say this, I couldn't help sighing: "Being an emperor is not as good as an idiot. Really, I think he...at least he won't commit suicide!" As we talked, we walked forward. Qi Bai has been here twice, and we are very familiar with him. First, we found the dormitory, and next to the dormitory, we found the bathroom. There was a spring flowing into a pool. The water was very clear. When I entered, I saw a pile of clothes in a corner. Qi Bai took a step forward and picked up the dress. Both he and I couldn't help but let out an "ah". There is no doubt that this white gown is the patient's clothing of the hospital, and it is even more certain that it is not used by ordinary hospitals, because on the back of the clothes, there is a line of numbers: "A3274". That's the patient's number, and if a patient needs a number, it's naturally not an ordinary hospital, not a mental hospital, or the kind that only caters for people with intellectual problems.I frowned even more: I seem to have seen this white robe somewhere before, it looks very familiar! Qi Bai took a closer look at the white robe, and hurriedly said, "Come and see!" I walked over to have a look, and saw a line of small characters woven on the hem of the clothes: "The Third Sanatorium for the Mentally Handicapped" and the location of the hospital, and a line of larger characters: "This kind of patients are purely congenital dementia patients. Thinking ability, if you find such a patient, please contact the hospital immediately, the phone-" I am extremely excited, because this discovery has made my speculation a great step forward to the fact. This person was originally a person with no intelligence at all, and he was by no means Emperor Jianwen! However, it also made me stay for a long time, because the hospital is in the city where I live, and here, and there is a four-day journey by the fastest way. I definitely think that "Emperor Jianwen" will have any valid travel documents, so then How did he get here? I thought for a while, and I got the answer: "Contact that hospital! If this person has been a patient in that hospital, the hospital must be able to provide conclusive evidence that he is a patient who escaped from their hospital. Then, You can take him back without going through complicated procedures." I told Qi Bai what I meant, and Qi Bai hesitated for a while: "It seems that this is the only way. In fact, this person is the real treasure. He has a brain and a secret history!" I snorted: "If you want to study him, you can borrow him from the hospital to study, I'm afraid he can't provide you with anything!" Qi Bai smiled: "Of course I won't let him go, let's go to a place where there is a phone call and contact the hospital." Seeing that it was getting dark, I knew that I would never have many chances to come here again, and I was reluctant to part with the sword, so I proposed to stay for one night before leaving.Qi Bai naturally had no objection. That night, under the moonlight, I wielded, stroked, and flicked the sword until dawn.
