Chapter 763: Down to the Grave
Li Canghai groaned: "Judging from Zhang Liang's description, the tomb where Zhang Liang went is likely to be the mausoleum of an official of the Qin Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info have been said to be buried since ancient times, and it is not uncommon for officials to be buried on the side of the imperial mausoleum after death. But there is another possibility, Zhang Liang did not go deep into the tomb at that time, maybe the tomb he saw was only the entrance hall of the imperial tomb, that is, the tomb was actually used to guard the door for the first emperor. But both of these possibilities, either way, indicate one thing, and that is that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is indeed near Lishan. ”
Hearing that Li Canghai was so sure, several people suddenly lifted their spirits.
"So, aren't we very close to the Imperial Tomb?" Li Yu said excitedly.
Li Canghai didn't speak, he carefully identified the map, as well as the surrounding peaks, and frowned: "Strange, there doesn't seem to be any resemblance to the map around here. ”
"Could it be that after too much time, some changes have taken place in these mountains? After all, the Qin Dynasty has been around for a thousand years! Li Yu took a breath of hot air and warmed his hands.
"I don't rule it out." Li Canghai pondered.
"How can this be? Is there no other way? Di Qing asked.
Li Canghai put away the map and pondered: "For today's plan, the only way to try my luck is to find the mausoleum where Zhang Liang has been." I just compared the direction of the lower mountains, and if the direction is correct, the mausoleum should be on the opposite hill. ”
"In that case, let's go!" Li Yu rubbed his hands and was eager to try the authentic way.
Li Canghai glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, from here to the opposite mountain, you have to pass through several dangerous peaks. Now that the wind and snow are raging, the slightest carelessness will cause you to worry about your life. The prince doesn't know martial arts, and if there is any difference, we can't afford it. ”
Before Li Canghai finished speaking, Li Yu looked at him suspiciously and said, "Sir, you don't want to leave me here, do you?" ”
Li Canghai nodded and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, do you remember what you promised me when you came from Chang'an?" ”
When Li Yu heard this, he couldn't help but pout: "When I go out this time, I will listen to Mr. Arrange everything." However, I really want to explore the mausoleum! ”
"Lord, but in all the mausoleums, there will be organs, this is not child's play, please forgive me." Li Canghai clasped his fists and saluted.
Di Qing also nodded and said: "What Canghai said is yes, there are many crises in the mausoleum, and you are powerless, in case of danger, Canghai will be distracted to protect you." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yu was immediately hit and almost vomited blood.
"Sister Qing, why do you expose my shortcomings like this!" Li Yu said sadly.
Di Qing blinked her eyes and said seriously: "Since I was a child, Master has told me to be honest, and I never lie. ”
“……”
Li Yu was speechless for a while.
Li Canghai smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you just wait here." If I die in the mausoleum, this search for the elixir of life will be entrusted to the prince. ”
"Bah, bah, I haven't found the mausoleum yet, so I'm saying these bad things!" Li Yu snorted a few times, sighed, and said to a few people: "Sir, since you said so, then I will stay." But you have to be careful in everything! ”
Li Canghai nodded, and then left the beacon tower with Di Qing and Lu Jitong, braving the wind and snow and trekking towards the opposite mountain.
Li Yu stood in front of the beacon tower and nervously watched several people walking in the wind and snow.
But the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and several people soon disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
However, it was said that Li Canghai and the three of them trekked in the wind and snow, passed through several dangerous peaks, and finally came to the opposite mountain.
This hill is rocky and there are not as many trees as on other hills.
Li Canghai hid behind a boulder and carefully identified the direction that Zhang Laohan said.
According to Zhang Laohan, after Zhang Liang escaped, he blocked the entrance of the cave with a round boulder.
But this mountain is full of boulders, and you can't push them one by one.
Li Canghai carefully observed the entire mountain, and then sifted through the stones in his mind.
According to Zhang Liang, the entrance of the cave where he fell was about the size of a person, so it can be seen that the boulder used to block the entrance of the cave is not too big.
Li Canghai roughly demarcated a range, and then several people searched for it.
About half an hour later, Lu Jitong found a more suitable stone.
Half of the stone was buried in the mountain, and half was exposed to the ground, and it was about one person wide.
A few people tried to push down the cobblestone, but it was difficult to push it.
Helpless, Li Canghai had to pick up a shovel and dig under the stones with Lu Jitong.
The stone is located on a slope, but it is half-cut into the earth and is difficult to push.
The only way to push the boulder is to dig a ravine in the slope under the boulder and then push it down.
It took a few people more than an hour to push the boulder away.
Sure enough, there was a hole hidden under the boulder**.
Li Canghai was not in a hurry to go down, but waited for a while, then lit another torch and threw it down, and only after seeing that the torch was not extinguished, he put down the rope and went down first.
Going down to the tomb, Li Canghai picked up the torch and looked around carefully.
The chamber was about the size of an ordinary guest room, with clay pots and bronze weapons on the walls, and mottled and illegible frescoes on the walls.
"It seems that Zhang Liang is not lying, he did come here back then." Li Canghai waved the torch and said.
Di Qing jumped down from above, patted the falling snow on his body, and said, "In this way, haven't we found the imperial tomb?" ”
"Whether it is an imperial tomb or not, we have to explore it to be determined." As he spoke, Li Canghai lit two more torches and handed them to Di Qing and Lu Jitong respectively.
"This mausoleum is very dangerous, you follow me."
Although the mechanism in this mausoleum has been damaged by tomb robbers, no one can guarantee that it will be safe.
Di Qing and Lu Ji were holding torches, and they followed behind Li Canghai step by step, walking towards Yongdao.
On both sides of the road, there are many white bones, most of which have long been weathered.
Judging from the weapons and clothing, people from all dynasties and dynasties have them.
Except for the bones of those who robbed the tombs, most of the bones left were those of the martyrs.
In the ink-black corridor, ghost fires flutter from time to time.
Sometimes those ghost fires gathered, sometimes scattered, making people's scalps tingle.
"Cang...... Canghai, do you think there will be a ...... here? Ghost? Di Qing bit her lip, her face turned a little blue, and she asked in a trembling tone.
"Qing'er, do you remember when I told you about the principle of the formation of ghost fire? These ghost fires are formed by the residual phosphorus in the human skeleton, and there are no ghosts. Li Canghai took Di Qing's little hand and comforted.
Feeling the warmth of Li Canghai's palm, Di Qing's face was much better, and she followed Li Canghai closely, stepping on the dry bones on the ground and walking forward. (To be continued.) )
