Chapter 2, The Resurrection
In the early winter of the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi, there was a great hunger.
That night, in an unnamed village at the foot of Lishan Mountain, the lights were still on at the entrance of the village.
Li Dapao pulled the last dried wild vegetable in the bowl, put it in his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, and scolded in his mouth: "I really can't live...... Even the wild vegetables are running out! ”
Hu San on the opposite side sighed: "It's a day to live, have you heard?" The horse widow at the west end of the village stewed meat last night. Li Dayi glared: "You smelled it?" Hu San shook his head: "I don't smell it, I heard that there were two wild cats dying of hunger in the widow's house at night, and they barked all night." ”
Li Da sneered: "That may be a cat in spring." ”
Hu San lowered his voice: "But today Widow Ma's one-year-old son is gone." I saw the kid the other day, and he was so hungry that he was skinny. ”
Li Dayi frowned: "You mean, Widow Ma stewed her son?" ”
Hu San sighed again: "People still have a son to stew and eat, what about us?" Two singles. ”
Li scolded: "Our area is full of poor ghosts, when someone buries the dead, there is nothing to bury with them, you and I, the two generals of Faqiu, have done it to the end!" ”
Hu San took a sip of vegetable soup, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "There is!" ”
Li Da asked him, "What's there?" Hu San put down the bowl: "I heard the storyteller in the village say that the big mound ten miles outside our village is a big tomb." Li Da hurriedly asked, "Whose grave?" ”
Hu San said: "Qin Shi Huang's, Fang Xiucai said that Qin Shi Huang was buried underneath, buried very deeply, he said that the treasure in the tomb is like a mountain, we must be able to dig into it......"
Li Da also put down the bowl: "Really? Hu San said: "Fang Xiucai read it from the book, why don't we pull him to ask?" Li Da was very happy: "I'll go now." ”
After a while, Fang Xiucai was brought in, this person was very thin, his face was full of vegetables, and most of the time he had been gnawing grass these days.
Hu San asked him to sit down, and told Fang Cai's question, Fang Xiucai liked to drop the bookbag the most, although he was half hungry, his temper had not changed, he picked up the one-inch-long goatee, and squinted his eyes: "Taishi Gong said, Qin Shi Huang's tomb is very deep underground, passed through three earth springs, and then watered with copper juice, the underground palace is full of organs, and a large amount of mercury is also filled, if the treasure thief goes in, he will die!" ”
Li Dayi pouted: "Who is Taishi Gong, how old is he, can you believe his words?" ”
Fang Xiucai glanced at him contemptuously: "Taishi Gong, a person from the Western Han Dynasty, has been more than a thousand years away from now. ”
Hu San nodded: "This father-in-law is also doing our business, otherwise he knows so clearly!" Fang Xiucai didn't bother to explain to them, and asked, "Why are you asking about this?" ”
Li snorted: "The brothers are dying of hunger, I heard Xiucai say, under the big mound outside the village is the underground palace, and there are mountains of treasures inside, our brothers want to go in and take a look......"
Fang Xiucai was shocked: "You want to move the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, don't be delusional!" Do you know how many big names have wanted to dig up this underground palace for more than a thousand years? If it doesn't work out, it's up to you two ......"
Li Dayi slapped the table: "Even if it doesn't work, you have to try, it's better than waiting to starve to death!" Hu San nodded again and again: "Not bad, Xiucai, you also come together, let's work together, and the benefits will be shared equally." ”
Fang Xiucai didn't agree and wanted to leave, but was pressed on the chair by Li Da and pressed a sharp knife to his throat: "Do you want to, Lao Tzu stabbed you with a knife, and then stewed in the pot and ate it!" "Li Da has his own thoughts, if this thing can't be done, if it happens, if Fang Xiucai gets out of the wind, the two of them are afraid that the treasure will not be able to be obtained, and they will have to be cheapened as officials, and they will have to be sentenced to death.
Fang Xiucai was almost scared, in this world, killing someone is like stepping on a bedbug, and the government doesn't care much about it, so he has to agree to these two outlaws.
Just do it, Li Dahu took Fang Xiucai on his shoulder, took all the guys out of the village, came to the mound, and began to dig. The mound was very thick, but fortunately there were no stones or anything like that, and it wasn't too much effort, and in one night they dug below the ground.
At dawn, Li Da covered the entrance of the thief cave with grass, and the three of them went home to rest. The next night I continued to dig.
After digging for three days, there was really no strength, and there was no end to the road, a wild dog came out of nowhere and fell into Li Dashe's rope circle, and the three of them were overjoyed, and ate a full meal of dog meat, and continued to dig down.
In this way, he dug for six days, and the hole could be dug down to a depth of about 100 feet, and the rope was almost insufficient.
Hu San's heart was shocked, he dropped the shovel, picked up the soil layer with both hands, and touched it down, and the feeling he touched was a flat and smooth ground. Knocked with a small hammer, yes, copper.
At that moment, Hu San doubled the size of the thief hole, and then stopped digging it, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
Li Dayi looked at his expression and knew that there was a door, so he hurriedly asked what was going on. Hu Sanyi said, even Fang Xiucai's eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, they really found the dungeon.
Li Da couldn't wait to go down to see, so he tied a rope around his waist, climbed down, and waited until he reached the end of the hole, and sure enough, he also touched the copper, he touched both sides, although the bottom of the cave was more than doubled by Hu San, but he still couldn't touch the end of the copper, he knew that this was the underground palace watered with copper juice.
Thinking of this, Li Da was ecstatic, there were endless treasures under the copper, and his hard days were coming to an end.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to enter the underground palace, and if you want to enter the underground palace, you have to break this copper top.
Li Da didn't know how thick the copper top was, so he took out the hammer and knocked it down hard.
While...... While...... While......
The sound was deafening when heard in the thief cave. Li Da knocked dozens of times in different places, and then he could vaguely conclude that this copper top was at least a foot thick.
It's a disaster! What can be used to break a foot-thick copper wall?
He scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: yes, only with fire, with fire to burn this copper wall.
Li Da came up with an idea, overjoyed, and was just about to get up, when suddenly he seemed to hear something.
If you listen closely, yes, there is a sound, and this sound is like the friction sound of the door button when the door that has not been opened for a long time suddenly opens.
And that's where the sound comes from...... Feet!
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt that the copper top under his feet was moving, moving to the right, and his body was also moving, bang, his head hit the edge of the thief hole, and before he came back to his senses, the copper top continued to move to the right, and his feet were empty, as if he was standing on the flap of the trap.
Not only him, Hu San and Fang Xiucai above were talking, when suddenly the mound of soil under their feet shook, and the thief hole cracked into a big crack.
Fang Xiucai only felt as if he had been thrown into hell, he couldn't see anything in front of him, and he didn't know how deep he fell, and finally there was a bang in his ears, as if he had fallen on a soft mass, but the huge impact still made him vomit a few mouthfuls of blood.
Fortunately, his body was light, and he bounced a few times on the side wall of the thief cave in the process of falling, slowing down the fall, otherwise he would have been shocked to death if he fell from a distance of hundreds of feet, even if there was water below.
Fang Xiucai tried hard to open his eyes, strange things, there was actually light in front of him. He looked down first, lying under him were Hu San and Li Da, Li Da was at the bottom, it was already **bursting, Hu San was on Li Da's body, he was also bleeding from the seven orifices, and his death was extremely terrifying, thanks to these two ***, otherwise it would definitely be the same fate.
He shook his head, drove away the remaining dizziness, and looked around, and this look made him immediately stiffen like a wooden clay sculpture.
Fang Xiucai had never seen such a spectacular scene, even in a dream.
He had imagined what the palace would look like, but no palace had a scene here that could be incomparably shocking.
This palace actually has the sun, moon and stars.
A few feet above his head, there was a round of sun, which was shining red at sunset, and on the other side there was a crescent moon glowing with a pale blue brilliance, and beyond that, there were countless stars, just like the real night sky, brilliant and deep.
All of these, pearls and gems of the night!
Look to the side again, four huge copper pillars stand at the four corners of the underground palace, the copper pillars are carved with coiled dragons, there are everlasting lamps on the copper walls on both sides, and I don't know what is burned inside, the vultures are not extinguished, and those dragons seem to be alive.
And in the middle of the four giant pillars, is a high platform surrounded by thirty-six steps, the high platform as a whole is dark, I don't know what it is made of, and there is nothing else on the high platform, only a huge coffin, and at this time the lid of the coffin is actually open, and in the coffin, there is actually a person standing!
The man was drenched all over, as if he had just come out of the water, and at this time he was staring at Fang Xiucai with a pair of eyes like an eagle.
"You...... Woke me up ......"
With a bang, Fang Xiucai couldn't stand anymore and sat on the ground.
It's over, the dead man speaks, it must be a ghost! Your own life is at risk!
The person who spoke raised his foot and stepped out of the coffin, and there was a sound of water, which also brought out a lot of water droplets, and it seemed that the coffin must have been filled with water.
Fang Xiucai wanted to close his eyes and not look at it, but the muscles in his whole body seemed to be out of control.
I saw this person in front of me, of medium stature, wearing a black robe, wearing a crown on his head, and twelve strings of pearls embedded on it, shining brightly, and his specific appearance was not clear, because there were pearls blocking him.
Fang Xiucai has been reading poetry for a long time and knows that this crown is not something that ordinary people can wear. Before the Song Dynasty, the emperor, the princes, and the ministers could all wear it, but after the Song Dynasty, it was stipulated that only the emperor was allowed to wear it. Before the Song Dynasty, the emperor's crown was twelve strings of pearls, nine strings of candidates, seven strings of upper doctors, and five strings of lower doctors. This person has been dead for I don't know how many years, but looking at the twelve strings of pearls on the crown of the crown, there is no need to ask, it must be the emperor.
He calls himself I, is it ...... Could he be ...... Qin Shi Huang??
