Chapter 843: Enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!
That's when something happened suddenly......
The "Dr. Fang" turned out to be a person who cried into tears, and bowed to Ying Ao Shanna.
All the people present did not react!
Huang Xiaolong's heart moved-'Aoshan's wife is the descendant of the ghost king Ying Kexin, no matter how she looks and temperament, she is a little similar to Ying Kexin... Ying Kexin was the first swordsman in Daqin back then...... Ah~~Hahahaha~~ This Dr. Fang, who took the elixir of immortality, is what Qiu Lian, who was a little maid who served Ying Kexin back then... Hahaha~~ It's really a fate to meet thousands of miles away!'
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaolong smiled. "Okay, don't worship, my wife is not a general, but she is the descendant of General Ying. ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Dr. Fang raised his teary eyes and stared at Ying Aoshan again, only then did he distinguish it, his face was full of embarrassment, "Yes... It's my longing that makes me sick... I mistakenly thought it was General Ying coming... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
After a pause, Dr. Fang wiped away his tears and smiled. "If it weren't for General Ying, I would have died in the war... Today, when I met the descendants of General Ying, it was normal to bow down. ”
Dr. Fang used to serve Ying Kexin personally, and at this time, when he saw Ying Aoshan, he could naturally be sure that Huang Xiaolong was not lying, and Ying Aoshan was the descendant of Ying Kexin.
"Oh, so you think I'm an ancestor. Ying Aoshan sneered. "Stand up and speak, we have something to ask you~~"
Dr. Fang stood up, looked at the strong men who had cultivated ancient martial arts in the teahouse, and hurriedly said. "It's my own people. He is the descendant of General Ying!"
After speaking, Dr. Fang said to Huang Xiaolong. "Come with me. ”
At that moment, Dr. Fang led Huang Xiaolong and the others to a hut behind the teahouse.
This room is very quaintly decorated, quite like the layout in [Xun Qin Ji]. It is also very similar to the house of the ancestral land of the Ying family.
The crowd sat down.
"Indeed... I took the elixir of immortality. Dr. Fang took the initiative to confess.
"Your real name is 'Qiu Lian'?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
"Yes. My name is 'Qiu Lian', but I don't have a last name. I was an orphan in the war, and I was fortunate to be taken in by General Ying. At that time, most civilians did not have surnames, and later General Ying gave me the surname 'Ying'..."Dr. Fang's eyes flashed with gratitude and remembrance.
"Then, we should call you 'Ying Qiulian'. Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly. "Those people in the teahouse who have cultivated ancient martial arts are also Qin people who took the immortal elixir with you back then?"
"No... They are the descendants of the mausoleum keepers. Ying Qiulian smiled slightly. "They are the descendants of 'Montessori', and in our time, 'Mong' was an extremely noble surname. ”
Huang Xiaolong and the others suddenly realized.
It turns out that it's a family of mausoleum guards!
"How many people were there back then, like you, who tested medicine for the First Emperor and took the elixir of immortality?" Ma Chuxia suddenly asked.
"It's... I don't know too much about this..."Ying Qiulian wanted to speak and stopped, and then muttered as if to herself. "All things, my husband, know better than I do..."
Huang Xiaolong said. "Alright, there is an opportunity for small talk, and now, we have to go through this secret passage in Xiahe Village and enter the tomb below. Without further ado. ”
"It's... This can't be!" Ying Qiulian shook her head. "I'm sorry, back then, we all swore a poisonous oath under the throne that even if we die and become ghosts, we will never bring people into the tomb where the king rests! We can't make exceptions. ”
"Hahaha~~ It's really pedantic. It's all burning eyebrows, and they're still squirming here. Huang Xiaolong sneered. "Let me tell you the truth, Xu Fu's descendants have already been overwhelmed by soldiers and secretly infiltrated the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. There are many secret ways to enter the underground imperial city, and I believe that Xu Fu's descendants know no less than you. ”
"What?Mrs. Xu's descendants?"
Taifu, the king's assistant minister and the emperor's teacher, Xu Fu once held this position, which is not mentioned in historical records.
After a pause, Ying Qiulian's face was abrupt. "It turns out that the elixir that Taifu Xu dedicated to the king at the beginning, he himself also left some, and he, like us, took the immortal elixir and lived forever..."
Suddenly, Ying Qiulian's complexion changed suddenly, and an angry expression appeared on her face. "No! At the beginning, Mrs. Xu stole the fortunes of the dynasty, and his scheming was extremely deep, and he was a traitorous minister who was rebellious! Now he is making a comeback, I am afraid that he wants to destroy the remains of the king and steal the important weapons of the country!"
"Of course. Huang Xiaolong grinned, "The Twelve Golden Men are one of the main targets of Xu Fu's descendants this time. ”
"It's... Please come with me!" Ying Qiulian decided. "However, this matter depends on my husband's intentions..."
"Husband?" Feng Han frowned.
At that moment, Ying Qiulian took Huang Xiaolong and others to a garden behind the teahouse.
In the garden, it is overgrown with barren grass and ancient trees, among which there are some old trees, the branches are luxuriant, the trunks are thick and incomparable, and they are still alive after thousands of years of ups and downs.
In the garden, there is an ancestral hall, the ancestral hall outside the book two big characters, "Montessori", simple and vigorous, it should be after countless years, it is possible to condense such a sense of vicissitudes.
Ying Aoshan looked in the direction of the ancestral hall and bowed slightly.
"Please wait. Ying Qiulian walked to the side of a big tree, buried her waist, and groped under the tree a few times.
Impressively......
Boom~~Boom~~~
A piece of grass next to a tree, suddenly dented!
"Secret Passage Entrance!" Ma Chuxia said in a trembling voice in Huang Xiaolong's ear. "Below, it must be the underground imperial city!
Feng Hanyan and others were all excited.
Huang Xiaolong's face was unfazed and smiled. "Don't get excited, you have to open this secret passage, there is a special method, once you get it wrong, this secret passage will be completely sealed. ”
At this moment, under the moonlight, I saw that in the sunken place, there was a person whose back was as straight as a javelin, rising!
This person is burly and lofty, about 1.85 meters!
He wears an ancient leather armor, and the back and waist are decorated with small armor pieces, which are about hundreds of pieces, very tight, the armor pieces are square in shape, and the wear group is fixed with leather strips and cow tendons, and the shoulders are equipped with a shawl similar to leather.
He was not angry and self-assured, and his body exuded a huge fluctuation of true qi, as well as an invincible battle intent.
Huang Xiaolong took a look at it and knew that this guy had condensed at least 6,700 True Qi in his body, and if it was placed in modern times, he would be a super master, not losing to the Ancient Martial Prince Xuanyuan Ba.
"Oh... This is a general of the Qin Army, and he should have also taken the immortal elixir..."Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly.
With Ying Qiulian, an ancient person who had taken the elixir of immortality, and now seeing a general of the Qin Army who had lived for more than 2,000 years and had not yet aged, Huang Xiaolong and the others, there was nothing particularly shocking and surprised.
Ying Qiulian hurriedly walked over, whispering a few words in the ear of the general of the Qin army.
Soon, the two of them walked towards Huang Xiaolong and them.
Ying Qiulian introduced. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Qiu Lian's husband. ”
"Under 'Meng Zhuang', meet the descendants of General Ying!" The general of the Qin army bowed directly to Ying Aoshan, his expression was extremely respectful, as if his subordinates had met his superiors.
"Uh~~~" Ying Aoshan choked for a moment, and then had nothing to say. "That's... General Meng... All these years, you've been living in... Living in this... This one... Below?"
"Miss Ying, for more than 2,000 years, I have lived in the imperial mausoleum for most of the time, but I have also gone out, hey~~ The vicissitudes of life, the world is changeable... The king but... But after all... Hey~~~" Meng Zhuang looked very annoyed. "Miss Ying, ladies and gentlemen, in the imperial mausoleum, the vastness of heaven and earth, you can never imagine that the king sent more than one million prisoners and more than one million people, and it took more than 20 years to build, which is magnificent!
"Well, I said can you stop talking nonsense? Huang Xiaolong said impatiently. "No matter how much nonsense you talk about, those onmyoji and ninjas from Dongying have already turned over the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!"
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong did not hesitate and walked directly towards the ancient tree that Ying Qiulian had pounded.
At this time, the entrance that collapsed near the ancient tree had already been automatically closed, and there was no abnormality in the slightest.
Huang Xiaolong, just like Ying Qiulian had just done, squatted down and pounded at the bottom of the tree.
"No! never!" Meng Zhuang cried out in horror. "If you rashly launch the secret passage mechanism, there will be 10,000 catties of boulders, rising from under the secret passage, blocking the secret passage!"
As soon as the words fell.
Boom~~Boom~~~
The ground caved in, and an entrance was revealed.
"You... How do you know the method of opening this secret path?" Meng Zhuang's frightened eyes widened, staring at Huang Xiaolong as if he had seen a ghost. "How do you know?"
"Hahaha~~ I'm going to say that Ying Kexin told me, will you believe it?" Huang Xiaolong grinned, "Let's go, let's go down." I'm going to hurry up and find what I'm looking for, and I'm going to kill all those bunglings!
Meng Zhuang sighed and shook his head. "Since Mrs. Xu's descendants are coming back and are going to sweep the imperial tomb... That... Let's go down together, they must be stopped. ”
Meng Zhuang finally allowed Huang Xiaolong and the others to enter the underground tomb.
A group of people quickly entered the secret passage.
As soon as they entered, it seemed to be a circular pipe, which stretched diagonally downward, very smooth, and there were iron cables above their heads to grasp, and everyone slid down.
Boom~~Boom~~~
The entrance above your head magically closes.
After more than 20 minutes of gliding, everyone finally landed smoothly.
It seems to have landed in a large stone chamber.
Huang Xiaolong took out a few incense sticks and recited the fire bell mantra, and everything around him brightened.
Meng Zhuang exclaimed. "Huh~~ I didn't expect Mr. to be a warlock too!"
In the Qin Dynasty, warlocks and alchemists were respected in status and were also respected in the army. At that time, Xu Fu was a powerful warlock and alchemist, a very powerful minister, covering the sky with one hand.
Therefore, Meng Zhuang also changed his words and honored Huang Xiaolong as 'Mr.'.
Huang Xiaolong looked left and right, this stone room was the size of half a professional football field, empty, and surrounded by stone walls on all sides.
"Ahh
At this time, everyone only felt that there was no turbidity in the underground tomb, and the air could flow naturally, and there was nothing wrong with breathing.
Huang Xiaolong didn't ask much, expecting that when the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was built, an engineer must have devised a ventilation method.
After entering the underground tomb, the two black knives in Huang Xiaolong's arms still showed no signs of fluctuation.
It seems that the black knife buried in the imperial tomb is still far away, and it still needs to be explored, maybe it can be found.
"Follow me. Meng Zhuang walked quickly to a stone wall, fiddled with it a few times, and there was a secret door, separated from the left and right.
"Let's go. Huang Xiaolong handed over a few incense candles to Ma Chuxia and the others for lighting, and then Meng Zhuang led the way through the stone gate.
Behind the stone gate, there are roads extending in all directions, these roads, long or short, curved or straight, and there are many forked roads, just like a huge labyrinth, if there is no old horse to know the way to lead the way, even if it is Huang Xiaolong, I am afraid it will take some time and energy to not get lost. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be trapped here.
The four walls of the road are all polished and smooth stones, and on the stones, there are carved patterns such as war horses, Qin figurines, flying birds, etc., which are lifelike.
On the way to walk, he was bored, and Meng Zhuang also told Huang Xiaolong about taking the immortal elixir back then.
It turned out that Xu Fu was ordered by the First Emperor to go to the overseas Immortal Mountain to seek the medicine of immortality.
Xu Fu led several ships, thousands of boys and girls, the scale was huge, and they set off in a mighty way.
A few years later, Xu Fu returned, and he really found the legendary elixir of immortality!
Dragon's face is happy!
At that time, Xu Fu brought back a total of 15 immortal elixirs.
The First Emperor wanted to take it immediately in order to live forever, but the powerful "Zhao Gao" at that time prevented the First Emperor from taking the medicine.
Zhao Gao said, if this medicine is not an elixir, but a poison, wouldn't it be a mistake? Therefore, it is necessary to find some people to test the medicine.
At that time, the First Emperor found Meng Zhuang and other eight generals, and each gave them an immortal elixir.
Meng Zhuang's wife, Ying Qiulian, because she was Ying Kexin's personal maid, the first emperor made an exception and also gave her an elixir to enjoy with her husband Meng Zhuang.
At the moment, there were a total of nine people, in front of the first emperor and the ministers, taking the elixir.
Unexpectedly, after taking the elixir, the whole body of these nine people was like countless knives twisting, making them feel painful, and their wails were earth-shattering.
According to Meng Zhuang and Ying Qiulian's description, after they were in pain for half an hour, they finally lost any strength in their bodies, that is, they lost consciousness.
When they woke up, they found themselves in a catacomb.
Huang Xiaolong listened to it with relish, and Feng Hanyan and the others were even more fascinated.
Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. "I know, you test the medicine, after taking the immortal elixir, it is like being tortured, in pain, and finally fake your death. The First Emperor and Zhao Gao and others naturally thought that what Xu Fu brought back was not real medicine, but poison. So the First Emperor, to death, did not take the elixir... Xu Fu brought back 15 pills of elixir, and you ate a total of 9 pills, so it is very likely that there are still 6 pills of elixir in the imperial tomb!"
After a pause, Huang Xiaolong continued. "Also, what Xu Fu found at that time was definitely more than 15 elixirs, and he secretly hid some of them..."
Meng Zhuang gritted his teeth. "Nine of us, lucky to live forever, when we woke up, we went out through the secret passage, only to know that Qin had been destroyed, and today is the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”
"You've slept quite a long time. Huang Xiaolong smiled.
"We also learned that the king wanted to execute Xu Fu back then, but he fled and stole the fortunes of the dynasty! Hmph! If it weren't for Xu Fu, the Qin Dynasty would not have been destroyed! Xu Fu! Woe to the country and the people!" Meng Zhuang's voice was filled with indescribable anger.
Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong also got more secrets about the immortal elixir from Meng Zhuang.
For example, 1, after taking the elixir of immortality, there will be an irregular state of sleep. Sometimes it's decades, sometimes it's hundreds of years. For example, Ying Qiulian slept the longest from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.
This state of deep sleep, like hibernation, does not require food and energy.
2. People who have taken the elixir of immortality, although they can stay young forever, they lose the ability to give birth.
After getting these news, Ma Chuxia and the others all shook their heads slightly, tasteless.
Ying Aoshan said. "Can't have children? Then I'd rather not have an elixir. ”
As they walked, they came to a large stone chamber.
As soon as I entered the stone room, there was a bloody breath coming to my face!
I saw that in the stone room, a man dressed exactly like Meng Zhuang was already lying on the ground, lying in a pool of blood, his head was cut off, and the body and head were ten meters apart.
Judging by the bloodstains, the man was dead for less than an hour.
"Roar !!!" Meng Zhuang let out a beastly roar and rushed forward with tears in his eyes. "Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang, who killed you, who is it!"
Ying Qiulian also cried loudly.
Huang Xiaolong asked, it turned out that the person who was beheaded was one of the eight Qin Army generals who tested the medicine with Meng Zhuang back then!
I didn't expect to die here!
Huang Xiaolong's gaze swept away, only to see that on the four walls of the stone room, there were some knife marks, as well as traces of True Qi bombardment, as well as scorch marks. Stone chips were scattered all over the ground.
It is obvious that this general of the Qin army had a fierce fight with people before he died.
Moreover, when others die, even their souls have vanished!
"It's really unbelievable that this person has already taken the elixir of immortality, but he was killed here. Huang Xiaolong shook his head with some regret.
At this time, Ma Chuxia, Feng Hanyan, Yan Pianpian and the others looked at Huang Xiaolong at the same time, and said in unison. "Xu Fu's descendants!"
"Yes, those Dongying ninjas and onmyoji must have been one step ahead of the others, went to this stone chamber, and had a fierce fight with this Qin army general!" Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly, a murderous flash in his eyes.
"Brother Qiang, I will definitely avenge you!" Meng Zhuang placed the corpse and head of the deceased together, hugged him directly, and in his eyes, the fire of hatred burst out.
I saw Meng Zhuang walking towards a stone wall to open the secret door mechanism.
However......
Click~~Click~~Click~~~
The secret door did not appear, and among the four walls, there was a sudden sound of cracking!
"Someone has changed the secret door mechanism!" Huang Xiaolong suddenly shouted.
That's when —
Xiuxiu~~Xiuxiu~~Xiuxiu~~Xiuxiu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the four walls, dense crossbow arrows burst out!
On the arrow of each crossbow arrow, there is a blue glow, which is obviously quenched with poison!
