Volume 4 The Stormy Waves of the Ming Sea Chapter 299 The Clothed Tomb

Because Wufen Mountain is not too far from Xi'an City, there is no need to prepare too many things, so early in the morning, Ding Sicheng led the poplar iron ox and Xiang Aiguo to set off for Wufen Mountain together.

Driving to the town, there were already four horses waiting at the intersection. The four of them stopped and changed horses, and after walking along the mountain road for more than two hours, they arrived at Magang Village.

It was already noon, but Ding Sicheng expected that if he couldn't delay too long under the tomb, he would want to rush back to Xi'an today.

Therefore, several people politely refused the invitation of the village chief to his house for lunch, and casually ate some dry food, and then rushed to Wufen Mountain, and went down the crack to the tomb.

Poplar and Iron Bull had been chased by the group of figurines all the way to the bottom of the crack before, but at this time, there was not even a single figurine under the crack.

However, in the process of walking to the tomb, I kept seeing figurines lying on the ground.

When I entered the core burial chamber of more than 100 square meters, the ground was full of figurines.

However, these figurines have already dried up, so there is not much smell of decay in the tomb.

"What's the matter? These terracotta figurines had chased me and Lao Bai to the bottom of the big crack the day before yesterday, why did they all run back now? and they all died so that they didn't move at all!" Iron Bull couldn't help but exhale.

"What do you mean, you still want them to move a little?" Xiang Aiguo smiled.

"Of course I hope they don't move!" Tie Niu explained two sentences, "But the last time we came, we met four terracotta figurines lying on the ground, they should have been woken up by a few people from the county cultural relics bureau when they came down, it was nearly a month ago, but when we came, one of the four was alive, if it wasn't for Lao Bai's quick reaction, that terracotta figurine almost scratched Lao Bai's neck! But this time it's only been a day, how come these seventy or so terracotta figurines don't even have a single one that can move?"

"It's not strange!" Bai Yang opened his mouth to explain Tie Niu's confusion, "That Spiritual Treasure Mirror is so evil, I estimate that these figurines can be resurrected, and it is likely to have something to do with that mirror! Now that the mirror has been taken away by us, it is naturally impossible for these figurines to move anymore!"

When Tie Niu heard the reason, he couldn't help but nod again and again.

The four of them were well prepared to fight a battle with more than 70 figurines.

Among them, Tie Niu brought several magazines, and Xiang Aiguo even brought three pots of crossbow arrows.

His crossbow bolts were specially made to shoot through the skulls of the warriors, and he was almost a hundred shots, so he was supposed to show his skills, but now he was naturally useless.

Of course, a few people will not feel disappointed by this, without the hindrance of the warriors, a few people immediately under the command of Ding Sicheng, first moved all the figurines lying around the coffin to make a clean open space, and then Ding Sicheng according to the rules, or lit four white candles, and put one in each of the four corners of the coffin.

After that, Ding Sicheng began to look at the huge marble coffin, and quickly concluded that this was not the general's specification, but an imperial coffin.

"The Emperor's coffin? If it's the Emperor's coffin, how can there be no other burial goods in the entire burial chamber?" asked Poplar.

Ding Sicheng smiled slightly and said, "First of all, you can't say that he doesn't have other funeral goods, after all, this room full of terracotta figurines is all made of living soldiers. Although the ancients had a tradition of burial of the living, it was at most three or five. Having more than 70 soldiers buried at once is something that ordinary generals can't afford......;

When he said this, he suddenly let out a long sigh, causing Tie Niu to ask, "What's next?"

Ding Sicheng did not answer, but turned his head to look at Xiang Aiguo examiningly.

Xiang Aiguo quickly said and said: "Secondly, the figurines and soldiers in this tomb are all Qin Shi costumes, which are exactly the same as the terracotta warriors and horses found in the suburbs of Xi'an, so ...... I think what the teacher means is that this should be a tomb of Qin Shi Huang!"

"Clothed mound?" asked Poplar in surprise, "that is...... In this huge coffin, it is likely that there is no corpse, just a set of clothes of Qin Shi Huang?"

"I guess so!" replied to Xiang Aiguo, "Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang built a total of nine tombs in order to prevent people from discovering his true tomb, eight of which are clothed mounds, and only one houses his body! We have already found three clothed mounds before, and this should be the fourth!"

"If this is Qin Shi Huang's clothed tomb, then isn't the scale of this tomb too simple?" Bai Yang asked, "After all, it is Qin Shi Huang, even if it is a clothed tomb, it should be grand and magnificent, right? But this tomb feels that it is not as gorgeous and advanced as the tomb of ordinary officials and businessmen!"

"Can the tombs of ordinary officials and businessmen be erected as graves?" Ding Sicheng asked amusefully.

Poplar suddenly recounted and said, "Yes, I'm confused!"

The scale of this tomb below is indeed not large, except for the core burial chamber, there are only a few peripheral burial chambers that are not ornate.

And in addition to the corpses and soldiers, there are not too many complicated and ingenious mechanism settings.

That gave Poplar the illusion that the size of this tomb was too low to be worthy of Qin Shi Huang's status as the Son of Heaven.

But he completely ignored the fact that on top of this big tomb, it was a big tomb made of stones!

And those rocks are not very common in the vicinity, and they are probably mined from afar. This big tomb alone is by no means something that ordinary wealthy officials and businessmen have the resources and ability to build.

What's more, this big tomb, because it is so big, is really like a hill, so for thousands of years, there is a legend that there is a general's tomb here, but there has never been an inverted bucket here-

There may have been an inverted dou man, but this tomb is so big that there is no way to find out where the tomb is, so naturally the inverted dou man can only return with a feather.

This time, if it weren't for the coincidence of fate, a thunderbolt would blow up a big crack in Wufen Mountain, and I am afraid that in another thousand or two thousand years, this tomb will not be discovered.

"Since it is said that Qin Shi Huang built eight fake tombs and one real tomb, how can the big tomb near the terracotta pit be sure that it is the real tomb?"

"To be honest, I can't be sure!" Ding Sicheng sighed softly, "It's just that among the several tombs of Qin Shi Huang that we found, the one near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit is the largest, and judging from the tombs we have entered, its exquisite luxury is far from being comparable to the other clothed mounds! In addition, that tomb is just near the large-scale Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, so we have determined that it should be the real tomb of Qin Shi Huang! However, ...... It's just our judgment, and everything will have to wait until we get in!"

"But...... I have one more question!"

Tie Niu suddenly interjected, and when several people all turned their faces to look at him, he smiled, pondering and speaking slowly.

Teacher Ding said that when he went to the big tomb near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, he once saw a stone door with several big characters on it, saying that it was...... If it is a real tomb, why should the builder of the tomb prompt this? Isn't that the intention of letting people find the spiritual orb and go in and destroy the corpse of Qin Shi Huang? If these words are not written, no one will ever be able to enter the stone gate?"

Iron Bull has always been careless, but once he thinks of something, it is likely to be a very critical issue.

And the question he is mentioning now is very crucial.

Poplar and Xiang Aiguo looked at each other, and they both felt that this was indeed unreasonable.

But the two of them couldn't figure it out, so they could only look at Ding Sicheng.

Ding Sicheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't understand either! In fact, I have thought of this issue mentioned by Tie Niu before, and my explanation is that it is very likely that the tomb is just a clothed tomb, not the real tomb of Qin Shi Huang! Or ...... Qin Shi Huang may have also seen the loss of the psychic orb to the pirates from the psychic treasure mirror, in order to retrieve the psychic orb, he deliberately left those words on the stone door, so that all the people who want to enter his tomb will help him find the psychic orb! But there are many contradictions in this explanation, after all, Qin Shi Huang is dead, even if someone helps him find the psychic orb, can he still be resurrected with the help of the psychic orb? So...... You just have to listen to it, don't take it seriously!"

Ding Sicheng smiled when he said it, but Tie Niu couldn't help but say again: "It's not necessarily that you can't be resurrected, right? After all, ...... These figurines have all been resurrected!"

"These terracotta figurines can be resurrected, it must have used some kind of evil magic or something!" Poplar spoke again, "And you look at their faces, they should have experienced the tempering and suffering of drugs and the like before their deaths, it is impossible for Qin Shi Huang to do such a thing on himself......! Qin Shi Huang does have the possibility of resurrection! After all, he still has an immortal medicine list in his hand, even if he doesn't have an immortal god furnace, but as far as we know, the immortal medicine refined with an ordinary alchemy furnace is also effective, but the effect is not so good!"

In the next few words, Bai Yang looked at Ding Sicheng and said.

But without waiting for Ding Sicheng to express his position, Tie Niu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I actually thought of this just now, but ...... I'm stupid, I can't say it!"

"This possibility really can't be ruled out!" Xiang Aiguo also expressed his approval.

Ding Sicheng nodded and said, "I also consider this, so ...... If we can find the Psychic Orb, then when we enter that tomb, we will definitely bring the most advanced submachine guns and the like! Fortunately, these thousand-year-old monsters still can't resist modern firearms, right?"

"Yes!" Bai Yang nodded immediately, "The previous Ao Jian mage was killed by Lingling with a gun......! They moved so fast that it took a few people to keep strafing to hit them!"

"Then I'll bring a few more people who are good at guns down!" Ding Sicheng smiled, "Now, let's leave the other tombs alone, open this coffin first, and see if it is Qin Shi Huang's clothes inside!"
