Chapter 3 A First Visit to the Imperial Tomb

The exam was coming, and under the huge pressure, Dugu Xuan still couldn't get out of the shadow of the death of the half-fairy, resulting in a bad mood and a mess of his grades, and he could only smile bitterly at these miserable results. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Xuan'er, the train ticket has been booked, we can leave for Xi'an at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you are also ready to prepare, calm down, don't be embarrassed by this matter, add unnecessary trouble." Chen Lingtian didn't dare to mention this matter to Dugu Xuan until ten days after the death of the half-fairy, but in the words, he did not dare to mention the death of the half-fairy, but carefully replaced it with "this matter".

Dugu Xuan's mood was half better, and a smile began to appear on his face, and he nodded and said, "Then see you downstairs at my house tomorrow?" "Okay."

On the second day, Dugu Xuan deliberately took a look at "Taixu Sword Xinglu", but there was not a word on it. "Huh-" Dugu Xuan took a long breath and put his mind at ease: "It's better to have nothing than nothing, so as not to mess with our army's heart with a lot of bad words." Downstairs, Chen Lingtian was already waiting impatiently, kicked open the door and shouted: "Dugu Xuan, are you dead?" Hurry up, slow down! ”

"Alas, alive alive." Dugu Xuan jumped out with a bag on his back and shouted.

"What's this bunch of stuff you're all about?" Chen Lingtian patted Dugu Xuan's bulging backpack, puzzled.

"It's a necessity!" Dugu Xuan opened the bag and took it out in the same way, "This is the Luoyang shovel, flashlight, map, black donkey hooves...... It's just that the time was too urgent to buy explosives. "Dare you, you're going to rob the tomb! You've watched too much "Notes on Tomb Robbery", right? Chen Lingtian frowned.

Dugu Xuan Zhen explained eloquently: "Now there are a large number of experts and security guards guarding the entrance to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and we can only look at the terracotta warriors and horses in the outer museum at most, and it is impossible to sneak in from the inside." This requires us to dig a hole from the other side. How can you do without Luoyang shovel? Besides, we are not familiar with Xi'an, what should we do if we get lost? So how can you do without a map? And there is no light in the imperial tomb, it is dark, how can you do without a flashlight? This Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is a big bucket, how can you do it without the hooves of a black donkey? "What about this folding knife?" Chen Lingtian pointed to another item.

"The black donkey's hooves will always run out, so the remaining bloody corpses can only be cut with knives." Dugu Xuan is straightforward. Chen Lingtian waved his hand: "What a lot of them, all of them are waste, you are just messing around, Banxian'er once gave me some pointers, saying that some tombs have been cleared out of the imperial tomb, and then we will sneak in, touch the mechanism around, and find the main tomb." ”

"However, the outside is heavily guarded, and there are even armed police stationed in the town, so it is pure nonsense to sneak in."

"Half-fairy didn't say it was funny." Chen Lingtian took out two talismans, "This is what the half-immortal gave me, in the words of our modern people, it is equivalent to an invisibility talisman." "Invisibility charms? How is this possible? Dugu Xuan's mouth opened wide. Let's see if it's nonsense? Chen Lingtian's fingers pressed on the talisman, and his body quickly disappeared, leaving only a cloud of air in front of Dugu Xuan in an instant.

Dugu Xuan opened his mouth wide in surprise: "It's really gone." I didn't think there would really be an invisibility charm in this world! Chen Lingtian appeared: "Now you believe it?" "I believe it." Dugu Xuan nodded silently. "Then you just throw these messes back, and these things will be found at the security check at the train station, let alone brought to Xi'an."

"Well, well." Dugu Xuan had no choice but to throw them home one by one.

The two rested at the train station for a while, and then boarded the train to Xi'an.

"Lord, do you know anything about Qin Shi Huang?" Dugu Xuan asked, not to mention that it was boring to stay in the car, it was good to prepare in advance. Chen Lingtian naturally knew the purpose of Dugu Xuan's question, and couldn't help but secretly appreciate it in his heart: This guy is quite thoughtful, and he knows that he will make a rough estimate of the imperial tomb in advance. So he said:

"Since his accession to the throne, Qin Shi Huang began to build the imperial mausoleum, using 700,000 laborers, and it took nearly 40 years to complete, and the project was so large that it was not completely completed until the second year of the second reign. It is speculated that the entire underground area of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been included outside Xi'an, which is equivalent to the sum of tens of thousands of Forbidden City areas, and the terracotta warriors and horses excavated today are only the periphery of the Imperial Mausoleum, and the real core is not yet known. Originally, the imperial tomb was divided into two floors, the lower floor was the underground palace, and the upper floor was the palace where the heirs of the Shouling Emperor lived. Due to its age, the palace above the imperial tomb has been worn out, and the real entrance to the underground palace is nowhere to be found.

Legend has it that various colored gems are inlaid on the top of the tomb as a starry sky, and mercury is infused into rivers, lakes and seas, simulating the Qin Empire on the ground. According to legend, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, a meteorite flew down from the sky, and what was engraved on the stone is unknown, which roughly means cursing Qin Shi Huang, and the prophecy of the book of heaven of '******** Ye' for a while, Qin Shi Huang ordered the slaughter of people and animals within a radius of several miles where the meteorite fell, leaving no living mouth, and kept this matter extremely secret. Moreover, Qin Shi Huang once obtained a sword, which was very spiritual, but his whereabouts are still unknown, I don't know whether it's true or not, and there is no record of the official history. ”

"Spirituality?" Dugu Xuan thought to himself, could it be that the sword or the meteor that kept calling me that night? Thinking of this, Dugu Xuan couldn't help but feel creepy: how many years have you been cultivating here, and you have become a refiner!

"Xuan'er, look at this." Chen Lingtian handed the mobile phone to Dugu Xuan, "This is what I just searched on the Internet about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it's a bit ......" Dugu Xuan took a look, only to see the title, and suddenly felt his scalp numb:

Recently, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been full of strange phenomena, and there are no people and people scattered, and there are Yin soldiers entering and leaving from time to time!!

"This, but really?" Dugu Xuan's hands trembled a little.

"Young man, do you want to go to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang? Eh, this can't go now, someone robbed the tomb a few days ago, disturbed, now there are Yin soldiers guarding, lifeless, the police have retreated, no one dares to go during the day, you better go back! An old man cried out in a hoarse throat. Suddenly, the whole carriage of people looked at this place.

Dugu Xuan was puzzled: "Grandma, how can you say this?" "Buddha bless, spare these two children!" But the old man ignored him, folded his hands and prayed earnestly. After eating a closed door, Dugu Xuan retracted his body in a daze.

"These things are definitely not accidental. What the hell is going on......" Dugu Xuan pondered. "It looks like it won't be revealed until there." Chen Lingtian said, "However, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is unpredictable, and there are many open and secret mechanisms, although it has been 2,000 years, they can still be activated, we must be careful." "Well, we can't move when we go in." Dugu Xuan remembered many TV series and movies about tomb robbery that he had watched before, and he knew seven or eight points about the danger of the ancient tomb, and he was careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and he had to be careful in everything.

Chen Lingtian felt the invisibility talisman in his palm burn up.

After a few days on the train, the two finally set foot on the land of Xi'an, and they were slightly excited in their hearts.

"The voice came up again, and I felt it getting closer." Chen Lingtian closed his eyes, as if he was listening carefully to something. Dugu Xuan also felt the same way: "Yes, it's getting closer and closer." Have a good rest tonight and enter the Imperial Mausoleum tomorrow. For the treacherous tombs, we can't go in openly, we can only sneak in, as you say. ”

As they spoke, they came to a small hotel on the side of the road. It's a simple place, but it's clean and refreshing.

"Do you want two rooms or one room?" The shopkeeper was a gray-haired old man, and when he saw a customer arriving, he swept away the drowsiness just now and asked with a smile. "One room." Chen Lingtian was about to say "two", but Dugu Xuan had already spoken first.

"What...... It's not ......" Chen Lingtian was about to explain, Dugu Xuan had already registered, and dragged her upstairs with one hand.

"It's good to be young." The old man smiled.

"Don't think about it, say it again, don't think about it! I just want that as my lord and as your subordinate, I have a duty to keep you safe. Dugu Xuan closed the door and hurriedly explained, "Don't think about it." "In such a hurry to clear up the relationship?" Chen Lingtian was helpless, "Also, you want to be crooked, right?" But since you keep saying that you want to protect me, then you sleep on the floor and I will sleep on the bed tonight. Chen Lingtian waved his hand generously.

Dugu Xuan was speechless: "If you really see it, you will accept it." Can you bear it? "Forbearance." Chen Lingtian nodded seriously. "Ah, the most poisonous woman's heart!" Dugu Xuan let out a long sigh and fell to the ground.

Early the next morning, the two of them were ready to go, and after breakfast, they boarded the bus to the Imperial Tomb with their bags on their backs.

Although they had imagined the number of guards guarding the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang many times in their hearts, when the two of them saw five or six rows of guards with loaded guns at the gate, they were still surprised and heavy in their hearts: The Imperial Mausoleum is so heavy?

Stepping into the gate and looking at the neatly arranged terracotta warriors and horses in front of him, a breath of ancient vicissitudes permeated the air, making people feel sad: the Qin Empire, which was dominant in the Central Plains back then, now only these clay puppets remain?

However, the majestic terracotta army still had the grandeur of the Great Qin army back then, which made Chen Lingtian feel a trace of reverence in his heart. The magnificence of the momentum, the heroic soldiers of thousands of miles, is this just the creation and sustenance of Great Qin back then? The demeanor of Qin Shi Huang, an emperor through the ages, is fully revealed here - life is expensive, death is proud!

Although I have seen this scene on TV countless times, I still have an indescribable excitement to actually watch it with my own eyes. Is it surprise, is it fear, is it cold, or is it pride? At this moment, Chen Lingtian's heart was already mixed, and there was a trace of regret in his heart: If the Qin Dynasty still exists today, what kind of scene should it be?

Chen Lingtian's heart was full of shock, but Dugu Xuan seemed to be disdainful, as if all this was just a child's toy.

"Lord, lord!" Dugu Xuan shook her, and it took a long time for her to slowly wake up. "Yingzheng is really restless!" Dugu Xuan frowned slightly, and whispered: "It's time to act." ”

An invisibility talisman in one person's hand. But Chen Lingtian was surprised to find that the invisibility talisman was not completely invisible! Man is illusory!

"Ying Zheng's little trick, this clever thing he interferes with it." Dugu Xuan said, "However, there is not much of a problem!" ”

The two of them slowly moved deeper against the tomb wall, and saw that their illusory appearance happened to be the same color as the tomb wall, as if it had changed color, and they were relieved. In the blink of an eye, the two have come to the junction of the corridor and the tomb road. Dugu Xuan pointed his hand to the sky, Chen Lingtian understood, and stopped. Carefully holding on to the stone wall, Dugu Xuan's probe probe was like a head sticking out of the stone, and a security guard in the distance turned his head to glance, and suddenly screamed in fright and fainted.

"Mr. Security, I'm sorry." Dugu Xuan apologized in his heart, made a gesture of his hand, turned around and flashed into the tomb on the side. Behind him, Chen Lingtian didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly raised his feet to follow. The two of them raced up in the graveyard. There was only the sound of the footsteps of the two people deliberately suppressed in the silent tomb, and after scurrying for more than ten minutes, the two stopped and turned on the flashlight.

Looking around, the tomb wall here has been carved with reliefs, Dugu Xuan looked at them one by one: "These reliefs are roughly about the process of alchemy of some monks, according to the surrounding furnishings, it should be a secret room, extremely tightly protected, presumably in refining the elixir that Qin Shi Huang dreamed of." Dugu Xuan's flashlight light stayed on the last relief. There is a huge Dan furnace engraved on it, and in the Dan furnace, there is a small golden ball, as if it is alive, vivid.

Dugu Xuan couldn't help but touch it with his hand, and actually took it off, and said in surprise: "Hey, it turned out to be installed, and this gold is not painted with paint, it's so strange." Looking at the slippery little pill in his hand, Dugu Xuan was a little surprised and pinched, it was a little soft.

"Could it be that this is the elixir of immortality refined by Qin Shi Huang?" Dugu Xuan guessed in his heart. "We have to hurry, there is not much time, let's go in first, don't delay here for too long." Chen Lingtian saw a figure flickering in the distance, fearing that he would be discovered, and urged. "Yes, let's go." Spit out two words, Dugu Xuan stuffed the golden pill into his pocket and walked deeper.

I don't know how many graveyards they turned, how many traps they pressed, how many slightly larger tombs they walked through, and the two finally came to the gate of a tomb. The huge stone door is carved with some dragon and phoenix cloud patterns with teeth and claws, tightly closed, revealing a sense of ancient historical vicissitudes, before it, people seem small.

There are sixteen characters on the stone door:

"Nine dragons and clouds, only the emperor can open it, if it is not for fate, do not turn here."

"Nine Dragons Cloud Phoenix Gate? Could it be that this is the main burial chamber? Dugu Xuan's breathing was a little short - found a treasure? Just got to the main burial chamber without a single soldier? So why is it rumored that the main burial chamber has not been discovered? What does it mean to "if it weren't for the fate, don't come here"? But time doesn't allow them to think too much. "Let's look for the mechanism." Dugu Xuandao.

The two stone lions at the stone gate were staring at them with wide eyes, and there was a deep hostility in their eyes, but when they saw a trace of red light that Dugu Xuan's eyebrows didn't know when to crack, there was a deep fear in their eyes, and they were motionless again.

Dugu Xuan, who was concentrating on finding the mechanism not far away, naturally didn't know what was going on, and was still groping on the tomb wall.

"Hey, isn't that it?" Chen Lingtian touched a protruding stone brick and asked softly. "Oh? Let me see. Dugu Xuan heard the voice. After observing carefully for a while, Dugu Xuan pushed Chen Lingtian back: "You stand back, let me push it in, carefully watch the changes around you, be careful that there may be a mechanism." "Then be careful." Thousands of words only condensed into this sentence, and Chen Lingtian stepped aside.

Dugu Xuan's palms were already oozing with sweat, and there was a dense layer of sweat on his forehead. Leaning lightly on the stone brick with his right hand, he slowly pushed it forward. The expected sound of the gears was not heard, but instead there was a violent shaking of the tombway. Countless dust was shaken down, choking Chen Lingtian with a cough.

Chen Lingtian sat down on the ground and said angrily: "Dugu Xuan, what are you doing!" At this moment, Dugu Xuan's eyebrows were red, and he stood there strangely and steadily, as if he had taken root under his feet, and was not affected by the shaking of the tomb at all.

"Hehe, Yingzheng Xiao'er, dare to deceive me with such a trick?" Dugu Xuan seemed to have changed people, and sneered at himself. His fingers lightly pressed on the stone bricks that were only one finger wide, and with a little force, Dugu Xuan easily pulled out the stone bricks that had been submerged in nine-tenths, threw them on the ground with disdain, clapped his hands, and the red light in his eyebrows weakened.

At this moment, the originally trembling tomb stopped as the stone bricks fell to the ground, and then with the creaking sound of gears turning, the stone door, which was so tight that it could not even insert a blade, slowly opened, and the dust flew in an instant.

"Lord Princess, get up quickly, the stone door is open, the stone door is open!" Dugu Xuan hurriedly ran over to help Chen Lingtian, who fell to the ground, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and shouted loudly. Chen Lingtian didn't have time to pat the dust on his body, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and shouted in a low voice: "I'm afraid that others won't know if it's called so loud!" Looking at Chen Lingtian's eyes that wanted to eat people, Dugu Xuan nodded and admitted that he had made a mistake.

While patting the dust on his body, Chen Lingtian recalled Dugu Xuan's actions just now. Is it possible to pull out the stone bricks that have been submerged in nine-tenths with one hand? It's also very relaxed, if it's yourself, it's definitely not good. can look at Dugu Xuan's smiling appearance, there is no expression at all that is invincible just now. "Maybe I'm mistaken." Chen Lingtian thought to himself.

"Whoosh-" I never thought that after the stone door opened, it was calm for a while, and a sharp arrow shot out of the flying dust, which grazed Chen Lingtian's ear extremely dangerously, and hit the stone wall on the side, submerging most of it.

"What, it's all on this and there are still organs? Qin Shi Huang, you are not kind, wow! Dugu Xuangang exclaimed, and there was a large dense black spot in front of him. Brother Qin Shi Huang, why don't you be a little kind! "Dugu Xuan is about to cry and call his mother. Chen Lingtian, who had always been calm, had a gloomy face, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled out the bulletproof umbrella prepared in advance, while Dugu Xuan fell down and blocked the bag in front of him. In an instant, the once smooth backpack had turned into a hedgehog.
