Chapter 6: The Immortal Body

This third door is even more different from the previous one, although it looks smaller than the previous two doors, but the door is engraved with two golden cloud dragons, lifelike, just from the door can see the dignity of the owner of this tomb. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Next, as before, Ying Zheng went in to unlock the door, and then Qin Zhongyu was ready to push the door again.

"Wait a minute!" Ying Zheng once again stopped Qin Zhongyu's actions.

"What's wrong again?"

"This door can't be opened yet!"

"Is there a mechanism again?" Qin Zhongyu asked a little puzzled.

"The mechanism is gone, but there is mercury ...... in the room," Ying Zheng said seriously.

"Mercury! Oh, yes, I almost forgot about this......" Qin Zhongyu then remembered that according to historical records, there was a large amount of mercury in Qin Shi Huang's underground palace. Because the entire underground palace was designed with the territory of the Qin Empire at that time, and these mercury were used as rivers, lakes and seas in the underground palace. Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce that there will be a large amount of mercury in this dungeon, and this mercury will exist in such a confined space for a long time, and it is easy to evaporate and form highly toxic mercury vapor, which will cause fatal injury to anyone who enters!

Of course, Qin Zhongyu was very aware of this, so when Ying Zheng reminded him that there was a large amount of mercury in this underground palace, Qin Zhongyu also felt a little embarrassed.

"What then?" Qin Zhongyu said in embarrassment, "I can dodge the mechanism, but I can't dodge this large amount of mercury that fills the entire underground palace!" ”

"Don't panic...... You stand here and wait a minute...... I'll come when I go......"

Saying that, Qin Zhongyu only saw Ying Zheng walking forward, and then Ying Zheng's soul passed through the gate wrapped in gold leaf and entered the interior of the underground palace.

Seeing Ying Zheng disappear in front of his eyes like this, Qin Zhongyu was also a little at a loss for a while, but remembering that the other party had reminded him to wait a while, Qin Zhongyu could only wait patiently.

Sure enough, after a while, Qin Zhongyu saw Ying Zheng's soul pass out of the bronze door this time.

"It's all right, don't worry, open the door......"

"Ah...... Ok ......"

Although he received a positive reply from the other party, Qin Zhongyu was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he could only put his hand on the handle of the bronze door, and then used his strength to finally push the huge bronze door a little bit.

At the moment when the bronze gate was opened, Qin Zhongyu, in order to prevent accidents, also immediately held his breath, lest there was any residual mercury vapor that was inhaled into his lungs by himself. According to Qin Zhongyu's idea, he first looked at the situation, and if it didn't work, he would retreat first, after all, if he wanted to save people, he had to save his life first.

However, what surprised Qin Zhongyu was that at the moment of opening the door, a sudden gust of cold wind hit, almost making Qin Zhongyu sneeze!

Although the temperature in the northern region at the end of December was already very low, this sudden cold still made Qin Zhongyu feel a strangeness.

"It's cold...... How can it be so cold? It's even colder than the ground......"

However, when Qin Zhongyu saw the situation inside through a crack in the door that had just opened, all this was finally understood.

Even if he just peeked through the crack in the door, Qin Zhongyu could see that the interior of this underground palace was shrouded in a faint fluorescence, looking like a fairyland on earth.

This is because on the four pillars around the dungeon are placed four huge night pearls, and these night pearls emit a light blue light, shining on the entire dungeon like moonlight.

On the ground of the underground palace, Qin Zhongyu can also see that it is paved with mercury, like the shape of rivers, lakes and seas, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that these rivers, lakes and seas do not show the surge of waves, but completely turn into solid mercury as smooth as a mirror!

"I see, when mercury becomes solid, there is no mercury vapor...... So that you can get in safely...... However, this means that the temperature here is now below minus 39 degrees Celsius, otherwise the mercury would not condense into a solid state...... No wonder it's so cold here......"

Thinking of this, Qin Zhongyu was a little glad that he was worried that the cold at night in the northern winter would be heavier, so he wore a lot of clothes, because he was riding an electric motorcycle, and he was also wearing cold-proof gloves on his hands, even if he couldn't move in the environment of minus 39 degrees Celsius for a long time, it should be no problem to enter for a short time.

After realizing this, Qin Zhongyu pushed the door open without hesitation, and then walked in quickly.

At this moment, Qin Zhongyu's eyes, who were originally just peeping into the interior of the underground palace through the crack in the door, suddenly became bright, and what appeared in front of Qin Zhongyu's eyes was not only the rivers, lakes and seas made of mercury, but also the sun, moon and stars arranged by various colored gems above Qin Zhongyu's head, shining like the real night sky.

The most eye-catching thing in the whole room is a high platform composed of nine steps in the center of the room, and in the center of the high platform is a golden coffin made of gold, engraved with cloud dragon patterns and nine dragons!

"My body is here...... Take her out......"

Ying Zheng preemptively floated to the vicinity of the coffin, and then with a wave of his hands, the heavy pure gold cover on the coffin began to shake as if it had been affected by some mysterious force. Then Qin Zhongyu hurriedly walked to the side, and then pushed hard, and the pure gold coffin lid, which was originally difficult to push, rolled to the side like this.

However, when the coffin lid was opened, Bai Ze found that there was another coffin inside. This coffin is different from the coffin bottle outside, it is made of pure white jade, and some words are engraved on it with a small seal, which is about a record of Qin Shi Huang's achievements in unifying the world.

"I see, inside the big coffin is a small coffin, a coffin of son and mother...... But as an emperor, such treatment is not strange......"

While thinking so, Qin Zhongyu touched the cover of the jade sarcophagus bottle with his hand, only to find that the jade sarcophagus bottle was quite wonderful, and it actually felt a little warm to the touch.

However, Qin Zhongyu didn't have time to feel too much, and immediately pushed open the cover of the jade sarcophagus bottle again, and at this time, inside the jade sarcophagus bottle, the third coffin bottle appeared.

Compared with the first two coffins, the third coffin is much simpler, made of a kind of wood that Qin Zhongyu does not know, and there are no special patterns and decorations. This feeling even made Qin Zhongyu think that if one day this wood grew tender green new leaves, it would not be strange.

Next, the lid of the last one, that is, the wooden coffin bottle, was also opened by Qin Zhongyu.

Sure enough, when the wooden coffin was opened, a beautiful girl appeared in front of Qin Zhongyu's eyes, and whether it was her appearance or outfit, she was indeed exactly the same as the ghost who claimed to be Qin Shi Huang next to her, but in comparison, the body lying in the coffin bottle not only gave people a more real feeling, but also had fair skin and a ruddy complexion, giving people a feeling that they were just asleep.

Qin Zhongyu knew that although the era of Qin Shi Huang was more than 2,000 years away, the preservation technology of corpses was highly advanced even by modern people.

This is evident not only from the wooden coffin, which is still alive and seemingly ready to sprout after more than 2,000 years, but also has precedents for this in history.

For example, the Mawangdui Han Tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, which is very close to the Qin Dynasty and is also more than 2,000 years ago, has such an example - a female corpse in the tomb more than 2,000 years ago not only did not decay, but also had a certain elasticity in the muscle part when it was just unearthed, and the part that was squeezed and pressed down can be restored, just like a living person!

The owner of the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha is just the wife of the King of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty, and the specifications and grades of the tomb can only be compared with the king, and far inferior to the emperor at that time, not to mention the imperial tomb of Qin Shi Huang, which conscripted hundreds of thousands of people and finally completed it for decades, so its preservation technology for corpses is naturally far inferior.

It was precisely because Qin Zhongyu understood these that Qin Zhongyu was not so surprised when he saw that Qin Shi Huang's body was no different from a sleeping living person.

"It's so beautiful......" At this moment, Qin Zhongyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It turns out that what kind of movie star and beauty pageant champion is completely like a pheasant meeting a phoenix in front of my Great First Emperor, presumably the so-called allure of the country and the city is nothing more than that......"

"Hey, boy, what are you doing in a daze? Still not ready to work? At this time, seeing Qin Zhongyu, who was suddenly stunned, Yingzheng on the side scolded loudly.

"Ah...... Yes, work, work......"

According to the instructions of the girl Ying Zheng, Qin Zhongyu first took off the crown of heaven on Ying Zheng's body, then shoes, socks, and then removed the black dragon robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns from the body, and the several layers of shroud under the dragon robe also left only the innermost layer, and the rest all faded, so that Qin Shi Huang's body was removed from the coffin.

Then, according to Ying Zheng's instructions, Qin Zhongyu put the complete bones of the craftsman he had collected before in the coffin, covered them with dragon robes and shrouds, and pretended that his body had already decayed, leaving only the bones.

"Well, in that case, people in the future will probably think of this skeleton as me...... In this way, they won't know that my physical body has been transferred......" When all this was done, Ying Zheng also nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Qin Zhongyu, "Then, hurry up and take my physical body out......"

"Oh......"

Although Qin Zhongyu also felt cold and tired after being busy before, Qin Zhongyu couldn't care too much at this time, and immediately picked up Yingzheng's body, and then walked quickly towards the exit.

After all, the temperature of minus thirty-nine degrees Celsius is too cold, not only for Qin Zhongyu himself, but also for Ying Zheng's body, of course, a thin layer of underwear can't resist such a biting cold, Qin Zhongyu even noticed that because the shoes were also left in the coffin, the jade feet exposed by Ying Zheng's body have been frozen purple.

"It's no different from being alive...... Even the appearance of being frostbitten is the same as that of a living person......" Thinking of this, Qin Zhongyu hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped the body of the girl Yingzheng tightly, which made her look better.

In this way, he hurriedly left the underground palace with Yingzheng's body, and the temperature around him finally rose to a normal temperature, and Qin Zhongyu, who was almost shivering from the cold, was also relieved. Looking back at the hidden gate of the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, Qin Zhongyu walked back and closed the gate again, restoring the underground palace to its original appearance as much as possible.

In this way, when all this was completed, Qin Zhongyu took Ying Zheng's body and climbed out of the crack where he came in before, and then rode on the electric motorcycle he parked not far away, tied Ying Zheng's body to his back, and then sped all the way towards the apartment where he lived.
