Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

The situation changes, time and space interweave.

While Li Zihang was exploring the tomb in an orderly manner, Li Sijie was witnessing a tragic drama in front of a restaurant in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.

At that time in Hong Kong, the average person's daily income was only two to eight Hong Kong dollars.

Under British rule, the sale of white powder here was as common as selling flour, and it could be bought on the roadside at any time in busy areas.

Various illegal immigrants flocked into Hong Kong. In 1945, Hong Kong had a population of only 1963. However, by , the population had suddenly increased to more than million.

At this time, anyone who arrives safely in Hong Kong will automatically obtain a Hong Kong household registration.

Due to the rapid increase in population, the entire Hong Kong society fell into chaos.

Drug trafficking, human trafficking, loan sharking, red-light districts, smuggling, gangsters and other issues permeated the entire Hong Kong society. During this period, wherever there were people, pornography, gambling and drugs would inevitably follow them around the people.

The stowaways have no survival skills, and in order to fill their stomachs or avoid being bullied, six out of ten stowaways will join the underworld.

One will die on the way to the smuggling destination.

One has a background, and the other has brains and means.

The last one is the type like Li Sijie.

Therefore, in Hong Kong in 1963, at least half of the population joined gangs.

Therefore, in Hong Kong of this era, dark things are no longer surprising.

The tragic drama that Li Sijie saw was a father selling his daughter to pay off his debts.

At this time, a waitress was dragged and forcibly taken away from the restaurant by a group of gangsters.

One of the arrogant men, wearing a thick gold chain, pointed at the people watching the show and shouted, "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll kill your whole family!"

Originally, it would be fine if this man was arrogant, but when he said this, his finger finally stopped in the direction of Li Sijie.

Maybe it's God's will, or maybe it's because of the arrogance, someone will have to take care of it.

Unfortunately, his actions angered Li Sijie.

If Li Sijie is unhappy, someone will be in trouble.

Without him saying anything, the Li family bodyguard next to him stepped forward and taught the gangster a lesson.

In no time, Li Sijie's bodyguards knocked several gangsters to the ground.

What is unexpected is that the gangster lying on the ground is still talking nonsense.

"Boy, wait for me, grandpa!"

"My boss, Fatty Deng, will never let you go!"

Li Sijie has been in Hong Kong for several years. Given his status and position, even the bosses of various gangs are not qualified to meet him.

What's more, the Hong Kong Li family is secretly controlling a large social organization.

He had never heard of the Fat Brother Deng mentioned by the Young and Dangerous gang.

The Li family bodyguard next to him saw his puzzled expression and hurriedly explained:

"Deng Fei is one of the three founding fathers of He Sheng He. Although his skills are average, his mind is very flexible. He has helped He Sheng He overcome difficulties many times."

After listening to the explanation, Li Sijie squatted in front of the gangster wearing a gold chain and looked down at him.

“Is He Shenghe very impressive?”

"Not to mention you, even if it's you and Shenghe's dragon head, they'll have to turn into kittens when they see me!"

"How dare you say that to me? I don't even bother to deal with you. Tomorrow I will have you and Shenghe's leader come here to see me!"

"Remember, you must convey the message, otherwise the consequences will not be something you and Shenghe can bear!"

"And that woman, I'll take her away. If you dare to cause trouble for her again in the future, you can give it a try."

When Li Sijie said this, he suddenly thought of something.

"Look at my brain, I guess you don't have a future."

"Remember, my name is Li Sijie. Go back and tell your boss!"

As for Li Sijie's rescue, he didn't have the leisure to do so.

Since coming to Hong Kong in the past few years, he has seen all kinds of human tragedies and has long been numb to them.

As for why he saved people, it has to do with ambition.

In the past few years, he has conquered, lured, and saved many talented people, both openly and secretly.

Nine out of ten of these people are illegal immigrants who are having trouble surviving.

Among these illegal immigrants, many have special skills.

He has lived in the Li family for so many years, and after being influenced by various power games, this kind of trick to win people over is still easy for him.

Li Sijie stood up and said to the bodyguard.

"Please arrange for this woman for me. I don't want anyone to cause trouble for her in the future~"

At this moment, the rescued woman only saw Li Sijie's handsome, stylish and domineering figure.

Time flies and the picture changes.

Li Zihang in Sanshan Tomb did not know that his younger brother, whom he had sent away, had already begun to develop his own team.

And I always thought about the day when I would be able to stand in front of him with my head held high and talk to him.

The second master of the Li family did not take Li Sijie's actions seriously.

The men in their families all have their own team.

Li Zihang is concentrating on studying an area inside the main tomb chamber.

This area is in the back half of the tomb.

The main tomb chamber is a natural cave, 5 meters high, 180 meters wide and 200 meters long. It was artificially built into a rectangular shape.

Seventy-one giant leg bone beams support the cave tomb chamber.

The tomb chamber is divided into two parts. The front half is the alchemy room in the side hall of the Golden Throne.

A alchemy cauldron as tall as a person stands in the center of the side hall.

The material of this tripod is the same as the dark metal nine-meter-high door.

However, after testing with the Li family's metal detector, it was found that there were still some elements in the furnace that were not within the range of known metals on Earth.

Alloy radioactive copper alchemy furnace tripod.

Height 132 cm, diameter 111.3 cm.

The entire alchemy furnace is shaped like a big cow's heart.

There is a large round hole at the top of the furnace cover for holding the crucible.

There are 72 neatly arranged half-moon holes around it, which correspond to the shape of the Earthly Fiends.

The edge of the lid is decorated with cloud patterns, and in the middle there are two dragons playing with a pearl.

The rim of the furnace is decorated with cloud patterns, with hole patterns underneath and street rings on both sides.

The Qilin's open mouth on the abdomen is the fire door, and the furnace feet are golden toads with three animal feet.

There are also various oracle bone inscriptions, various scenes of ancient people's sacrifices, and bronze sculptures of various birds and beasts carved on the furnace.

Li Zihang counted the inscriptions on the furnace one by one.

It was discovered that there were as many as three hundred and twenty inscriptions.

If this alchemy cauldron is made public by the Li family, apart from the Nine Cauldrons of China, it is estimated that no other cauldron can compare with it~

As for the large cauldron, the Li family had naturally searched it. In addition to some residual medicinal residues, there was also a bone pill the size of a baby's fist.

Why is it called a bone pill? Because after thousands of years, that pill has turned into bone for some unknown reason.

As for the ingredients of the pill, we will have to wait until we get back and have someone study it.

Near the back of the alchemy cauldron, in the middle of the screen wall of the tomb, there is an extremely large pavilion platform bed.

A platform bed is a bed with flat sides and no obstructions.

This style of bed is old and traditional in shape, but some parts, such as the feet and edges of the bed, are exquisitely decorated, exuding a low-key and gorgeous feeling.

The pavilion bed is a pavilion built on this basis.

It is like an octagonal pavilion with flying eaves, built on a huge platform bed.

The dark golden wooden structure of this bed is hollowed out with carvings of various exotic beasts, the nine sons of a dragon, and the five fetuses of a phoenix.

There are ridge beasts on the octagonal eaves.

The wooden boards around the bottom of the platform bed are also carved with various flowers, birds, fish, insects, and auspicious offerings.

At this moment, Hu Nu looked at the wooden material of the octagonal pavilion bed on the platform and suddenly exclaimed.

"My dear~"

"This bed can't be made of hibiscus tree~"

When Li Zihang heard Hu Nu's exclamation, he immediately recalled his knowledge of ancient texts about the Fusang tree.

According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas East Classic".

"There is a hibiscus on the Tang Valley. For ten days, it stayed in the water. For nine days, it stayed on the lower branch, and for one day, it stayed on the upper branch."

There are many records about the origin of Fusang in ancient documents.

Fusang is located in the middle of the blue sea. The land is full of trees, all with leaves like those of mulberry trees. Some are several thousand feet tall and some are over two thousand feet in circumference.

The trees grow in pairs from the same root, and they rely on each other, so they are called Fusang.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Eastern Classic" states: "There is a Fusang tree on the top of Tanggu, where ten suns bathe, and it resides in the water. Nine suns reside on the lower branches, and one sun resides on the upper branches."

"Classic of Mountains and Seas - Great Wilderness East Classic" says: "There is a tree called Fu on Tang Valley. One tree is called Fangzhi and the other is called Fangchu. Both are carried by crows."

There are different opinions about the shape of hibiscus wood.

The Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea states: "Fusang has a myriad of changes, has no fixed form, and can be divided into hundreds of forms."

There is also: "Although the tree is large, its leaves and fruits are like mulberry trees in mid-summer, but the fruits are sparse and red in color. It bears fruit once every nine thousand years, and the taste is extremely sweet and fragrant."

The Classic of Mountains and Seas believes that there are branches: "Nine days on the lower branch, one day on the upper branch."

The remaining text of Xuanzhongji believes that it has no branches: "The highest tree in the world is the Fusang tree, which has no branches. It reaches up to the sky, winds and bends downward, and connects to three springs."

Judging from the hibiscus tree on the Han Dynasty brick reliefs in Luoyang, it seems to have a trunk but no branches, and the leaves are twisted and curved. The leaves are arranged in three circles, with six leaves in each circle.

Various unofficial historical records say that the Fusang tree is as hard as iron.

The wood has a metallic sheen and the veins inside are like flames.

The hibiscus tree belongs to the fire element, and the environment in which it grows is extremely dry.

Making furniture from trees can effectively remove moisture and drive away cold.

Even during the rainy season in the south, just a hibiscus branch can keep the room dry.

Li Zihang looked at the dark red bed with a metallic hue.

The wood grain shows flame patterns.

These all correspond to the records of the Fusang tree.

At first he thought that the bed was made of metal.

I didn't expect that the bed was made of the Fusang tree, which is suspected to be from mythology.

Generally speaking, caves and mountains are damp and cold.

Li Zihang had been in the tomb for such a long time, but he didn't feel any dampness.

It turns out that this bed is the effect of

As for the Fusang tree, it is just a myth.

But who knows, maybe this kind of tree may have really existed in the distant ancient times.

But it has become extinct in modern times.

After the ancients discovered it, they gradually deified it through word of mouth.

After studying the bed, Li Zihang and his team began to study the screen wall.

The screen wall that divides the tomb into two parts is carved with a group of ancient people.

The wall carvings depict the scene of ancient ancestors practicing cultivation and finally shedding their bodies like a cicada, leaving only their souls and ascending to the immortal world.

Li Zihang looked at the wall carvings. Those ancient people all had big cracks on their backs, just like when a cicada monkey sheds its shell, only the skin is left.
