Chapter 4: The Bones of the Underground Palace
How do you know that Ying Zheng just snorted in a low voice, and said in a very small voice: "Do you want to move my body somewhere else......?" But...... If I could move my body, it wouldn't be so troublesome......"
"Eh, can't you do it?" Qin Zhongyu was a little surprised. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's a pity, it's probably because I woke up just now, and my strength hasn't fully recovered yet, so I really can't do ......it," Ying Zheng's face looked a little embarrassed, and then said, "So if you need to move, I have to ask you to help me......"
"Me?"
"That's right, if you can help me move my body to a safe place, then I will reward you well in the future. ”
Obviously, for such an emperor through the ages, it is indeed not easy to admit that there are things that he cannot do. And it's even more difficult to ask for people.
And now, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor in Chinese history, actually stood in front of Qin Zhongyu's eyes and asked Qin Zhongyu to help him.
In the face of such a request, of course, Qin Zhongyu is not easy to refuse, and for Qin Zhongyu, this is also what he wants to do, after all, only in this way can he avoid the consequences of those archaeologists being buried alive, and it can be regarded as a good thing to save people's lives.
So Qin Zhongyu immediately replied, "What do you need me to do? As long as it doesn't hurt people's lives, I will definitely help if I can!"
"Of course, I want you to sneak into my dungeon before these people, and then help take my body out of the mausoleum......"
"Eh, I'll take it out?" Qin Zhongyu was completely taken aback, "I, how can I do it?" If nothing else, I won't be able to enter your mausoleum now!"
"It's not a problem," Ying Zheng said with certainty, "Since it is my underground palace, of course, I am most familiar with it, don't look at those so-called archaeologists who are still digging outside the door of the underground palace, in fact, there is a secret passage that can go straight to the depths of my underground palace...... This way you can get to my dungeon before the others, and then take the opportunity to bring my body out. ”
"Secret Dao?" Qin Zhongyu's curiosity was aroused all of a sudden.
Qin Zhongyu has always had a special curiosity about such a mysterious thing, and he has always wanted to see the true face of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but he couldn't get close at all because of the guards patrolling around, and now he actually heard Qin Shi Huang himself say that there is a secret passage that can lead directly to the inside of the underground palace, of course, he wants to get a glimpse.
However, the excitement was only temporary, and soon Qin Zhongyu calmed down, and after thinking about it, he felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"That...... Your Majesty the First Emperor, although I really want to help you......" Qin Zhongyu said respectfully, "But don't you have all kinds of hidden weapons in your dungeon, and the small one can't spell, and the other can't have high martial arts, if you enter rashly, you will lose your life if you accidentally enter, right?"
"What are you afraid of?" Ying Zheng looked obviously impatient, "I know the hidden weapon inside, are you still afraid that you will be hit by the hidden weapon?"
"Uh...... That's ...... too."
Qin Zhongyu thought about it, after all, the owner of this dungeon was in front of him, and he had already promised to let him go down, so there shouldn't be any problem.
So Qin Zhongyu finally had the courage to say, "That'...... I'm going to go?"
"Hmm...... Follow me, and I'll take you to the entrance of the secret passage......"
Saying that, Yingzheng walked in front, while Qin Zhongyu followed behind, all the way towards a wasteland west of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
Although it is said to be walking, but for Yingzheng, who has become a ghost, it is more appropriate to use Piao. The road is completely unaffected by the terrain, even though the ground is full of gravel pits, but it still maintains a high speed.
But for Qin Zhongyu, it was completely different, the potholed ground made Qin Zhongyu walk very hard, so it fell a lot after a while.
"Hurry up, young ......," Ying Zheng urged.
"Got it, I've done my best...... Ouch......" Qin Zhongyu only felt a slip under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.
"It's really rotten wood that can't be carved......" Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Zhongyu with some disdain, and then said, "The hands and feet are sluggish, and the physical strength is insufficient...... It's far worse than my soldiers in Great Qin!"
"Please, my First Emperor, I'm not a soldier, I'm just a student......" Although he complained, Qin Zhongyu still gritted his teeth, and then sped up, and finally caught up a little.
"Hmph, this is about the same, although the physical fitness is not good, but the spirit is still worthy of appreciation......" Ying Zheng's face also softened a little, and Qin Zhongyu also noticed that after saying this, Ying Zheng's pace also slowed down a little, and it seemed that he was also waiting for Qin Zhongyu to follow him.
In this way, Ying Zheng and Qin Zhongyu walked a distance one after the other, and finally Ying Zheng, who was walking in front, stopped.
"Whew...... Call...... Is it finally here?"
"Well, this is it......" Ying Zheng nodded and said.
Qin Zhongyu looked around and found that there was nothing special here.
"The entrance to the secret passage ......"
"Boy, it's good to look at it......"
Ying Zheng raised his hand as he spoke, and then there were words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but soon, Qin Zhongyu saw that the ground that was originally flat had collapsed, and a crack appeared.
This crack is about two meters long, but the width is only about thirty centimeters, just enough to accommodate a person going down sideways, and the crack looks completely black, I don't know how deep it is, only the yin wind gusts come out of it, giving people a creepy feeling.
"Is this here?" Qin Zhongyu asked.
"That's right, follow me......" After speaking, Yingzheng was the first to jump down.
Seeing Ying Zheng jumping down, Qin Zhongyu could only jump down, but fortunately, the whole crack was not as deep as expected, and soon Qin Zhongyu's feet fell on the solid soil.
But after jumping down, Qin Zhongyu's eyes were still dark, and he could hardly see anything in front of him, so he could only follow Ying Zheng closely while groping forward, and vaguely he could feel that he was going all the way down, and his position was getting deeper and deeper.
After walking for quite a long time, Qin Zhongyu finally felt that the ground under his feet had changed, no longer the ordinary dirt ground before, but into an extremely hard stone slab ground to step on. Looking ahead, you can already see a little light coming from the front of the tunnel.
"There's a light!"
Qin Zhongyu was naturally very happy to see the light, and hurriedly accelerated his speed and ran forward, and sure enough, at the end of the passage, Qin Zhongyu saw two everlasting lamps that were still shining after two thousand years, and under the illumination of the everlasting lamp, Qin Zhongyu could also see that there was a gate made of huge bluestone slabs in the middle of the two everlasting lights.
Moreover, the gate made of huge bluestone slabs is not pushed open like an ordinary gate, but falls from above like a huge gate, and completely seals the entrance.
"How can this be opened?Such a large bluestone slab weighs at least dozens of tons, I don't have that much strength......" Qin Zhongyu said helplessly looking at Ying Zheng beside him.
"Of course there is a way...... You come here, and then stand here......" Under Ying Zheng's instructions, Qin Zhongyu walked to the front of the bluestone gate, and then stood up.
"Put your feet on the brick, hold your hands on the door, and press the grid in turn...... Finally, slowly rotate the handle......"
"It's complicated......"
Although there were some complaints, Qin Zhongyu still completed the entire operation step by step according to Yingzheng's instructions, and sure enough, when Qin Zhongyu turned the guard of the door to the corresponding position, the entire huge bluestone slab began to rise slowly as if it had been pushed up by some force, gradually revealing the passage behind the slate.
"It's amazing that a mechanism more than 2,000 years ago can still bring up these dozens of tons of bluestone slabs......"
Qin Zhongyu praised the ancient craftsman skills in his heart, and walked under the rising bluestone slab, as before, the back of this bluestone slab is also a small road, but the difference from before is that this road is no longer dim, but on both sides of the road, there are several everlasting lamps that have not been extinguished for more than 2,000 years are constantly shining, illuminating the entire road.
Because of this, Qin Zhongyu can clearly see the situation on both sides of the road!
The entire passage was littered with the bones of the deceased, and after more than two thousand years, only the bones of Bai Sensen remained, but judging from their postures, they should have been in great pain when they died. Because Qin Zhongyu could see that some of the bones were gathered near the gate, he should have hoped to escape from this place before he died, but in the end he was starved to death because he couldn't open the gate.
