Chapter 423: Silver Pools and Floating Corpses

Outside, the twenty or so people who were in charge of guarding the luggage and guarding the entrance at the same time did not dare to slack off for a moment, but they did not notice the eyes hidden in the dark forest, staring at them closely.

After two hours, a few of these people inevitably showed some fatigue, after all, they had been on the road for a day and a night, and after coming to Lishan, they didn't close their eyes at all, and they searched for the entrance for half a day in the morning, and only slept for a while with the sound of rain in the afternoon, which was not enough to recover their strength in such a short time. So they discussed it and decided to take turns resting.

Just when some of them were about to rest, a team of nearly 100 people suddenly rushed out, and they were caught off guard by killing with a rapid momentum, and they were only 20 or so people who could deal with animals, and they could deal with this unexpected response, and soon these 20 people were defeated, and all the others were killed, leaving only one alive.

Among these people, one person walked out, who seemed to be the one in the lead, and he asked, "What is the identity of you Wu people?" Why run here? ”

"We are just ordinary businessmen in the country of Wu." The captured man replied.

The questioner hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Ordinary businessmen? Did you come to Lishan to sell salt to the jackals, tigers and leopards on Lishan? ”

The captor was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and bit off his tongue, and soon his blood was running down his lips.

The two people who detained this person tested the man's snort, and said to the person who led him: "Fourth prince, this person has already killed himself by biting his tongue." ”

"Then forget it." The fourth prince, that is, Yin Yongmin, waved his hand indifferently. In fact, he doesn't need these people to say, he also knows what Qingdi and they are doing here.

After discovering their whereabouts at the inn, in order not to attract Chu Yaocen's attention, he immediately changed to an inn. In the past two days, he has constantly sent people to inquire about the news, but Chu Yaocen's tone has been very tight, and his people have not found anything. But you don't need to find it or not. Now that they have come to Lishan, it is already obvious what Chu Yaocen wants to do.

He looked at the gloomy entrance to the cave, which might be the treasure that had once made countless people yearn for and go crazy.

Yin Yongmin was silent for a moment and said, "You two go down with me, and the others are guarding above." ”

"Fourth Prince, will there be danger down there?"

"Even if there is danger, there are people who have probed in front of them." Yin Yongmin smiled lightly, he was going to die, and the previous team of people also gave him a back, "Listen to the people above, if any of their people come out of this hole, they will all be killed except Qingdi." ”

"Yes!"

Yin Yongmin nodded, and then led people down.

After Chu Yaocen and the others entered the tomb road on the east side, six reliefs appeared on the road walls along the way, looking majestic, and their eyes stared straight at the people passing by, which couldn't help but make people feel a chill.

Xiaohu grabbed Qingdi's arm tightly, and was still a little scared, and asked, "Sister, why do the people on this wall look so scary?" And it seems that no matter where I appear, their eyes seem to be looking straight at me. ”

Before Qingdi could speak, Chu Yaocen took Xiaohu's words and said: "It is said that these six are the generals who made great achievements when the First Emperor swept away the Six Kingdoms, and the First Emperor engraved them here, and it is estimated that he wants to continue to be a monarch and minister in the Netherworld." You feel like you're watching all the time, and it's the craftsmanship that built this is superb. ”

Xiaohu nodded, now he feels even more scared, it turns out that these are generals, and they must kill people without blinking when they are on the battlefield, no wonder they look so terrible.

They passed through this tomb road smoothly, but they didn't encounter any organs, it was too smooth sailing, which made Chu Yaocen more and more worried.

There is a dangling copper suspension bridge behind the tomb, Chu Yaocen stepped on it first, and it was quite strong to try, but for the sake of insurance, he still asked everyone not to go up all at once, and wait for some people to go up to the opposite side first, and then others to go up.

He went up first with Qingdi and Shadow. Underneath the staircase, there is a large pool full of silver water, and in the middle of the pool floats a golden boat that is only the size of a coffin, and looks very much like a coffin without a lid, and there are many lifelike rare birds and beasts on the side of the boat, and there is a corpse lying inside, which must have been put into the tomb of the First Emperor when it was first built, but the wonderful thing is that it still looks extraordinarily fresh.

"There is mercury in this pool," Chu Yaocen looked at the silver pond channel under the suspension bridge, "There was once a historian surnamed Sima who said that the First Emperor built the entire land of China in the underground palace, and these mercury represent lakes, rivers and seas. ”

Qingdi nodded, pointed to the corpse on the golden boat and asked, "Who is that person on the lake?" Is it alive or dead? ”

"It's been so long, the mercury is still poisonous, it must be dead. That Sima Shiguan said that it was the First Emperor, but it definitely wouldn't be, so he wouldn't put himself in such a place. Chu Yaocen replied.

Qingdi nodded, raised his head and smiled at Chu Yaocen: "You know a lot of things, the adventure with you is full of all kinds of wonderful encounters, I really hope it can go on forever." ”

Chu Yaocen tapped Qingdi's nose, his eyes were as doting as always, and he smiled and said, "Can I hold you firmly if I don't have something in my stomach?" Although a lot of things are new here, they are still very dangerous, so I don't want to go on forever. ”

Seeing them show affection, he silently rolled his eyes without a trace, and said, "The first emperor built the entire mountains and rivers of the Central Plains in his tomb, what Taihu, Guilin, Yangtze River, and Yellow River, all of them, and it is said that the treasure is in the Xianyang Palace built by him." ”

"The Xianyang Palace in this mausoleum?" Qingdi asked.

Disappearing glanced at him, "Do you still need to ask?" It's not from the tomb, it's from the ground. ”

"No trace is right, the treasures are all in Xianyang Palace, let's go to Xianyang Palace," Chu Yaocen said, and added, "It is said that it is Xianyang Palace that has shrunk according to the proportions on the ground." ”

Qingdi nodded, and soon they walked to the other side, and the people behind them also walked over one after another.

In the end, only Xiaohu didn't dare to go up, and Wanshu was by her side to accompany her, and the person opposite urged her for a long time before Xiaohu dared to go over.

When she first walked to the suspension bridge, she looked down at the gold boat floating in the mercury pool below and the corpses on the boat, her legs were weak in fear, and she asked Wan Ji next to her: "Wan Ji, how long have you been dead to that person?" ”

"It's been nearly a thousand years, even if he is not the body of the First Emperor, he is the one who entered this tomb with the First Emperor, and he should have died with him." Finish killing replied.

"Oh my God, he has been dead for so many years and doesn't rot......" Xiaohu didn't dare to look down, but she wanted to take a closer look, but she really couldn't help it, and secretly glanced at it again.

"Well, I have learned some medical skills from the second master, and I know that mercury can actually prevent the decay of the human body. When this man is poured, he pours mercury into the place where his blood flows, and replaces his blood with mercury, so that he will not rot forever. ”

Xiaohu's legs became weaker and weaker, and his body was crooked, causing the suspension bridge to shake and almost fall.

She was so frightened that she immediately grabbed the killing, and was about to cry, and said in fear: "I...... I didn't dare to go, I was afraid I would fall. ”

Qingdi was very helpless when she saw her like this on the other side, so she had to shout loudly: "Xiaohu, don't be afraid, there is a kill to protect you, come here." ”

As a result, Qingdi's shout seemed to shake the entire underground palace, and the shaking on the suspension bridge became more obvious.

Chu Yaocen hurriedly held the Qingdi and said, "Don't speak so loudly, you may be shocked by you." ”

Qingdi nodded, covering her mouth firmly.

Xiaohu was about to cry, but now on the suspension bridge, if he let Wanshu carry her on his back, Wanshu himself would not be able to move forward smoothly, so he could only let Xiaohu have the courage to walk over, and he could protect her at any time.

Xiaohu stayed for a while before he started to act again, but after taking two steps, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, and the copper block under Xiaohu's feet collapsed, and Xiaohu's whole person also fell.

Wan Kill hurriedly reached out and grabbed her, but half of his body was hanging outside, and the back half of his body was completely unable to pull him up.

Chu Yaocen frowned, and wanted to go over and rescue the two of them, but there was mercury down there, and it was impossible for normal people to be soaked in mercury like this.

walked in front of Chu Yaocen without a trace, blocking Chu Yaocen and said, "Second master, let me go over, this bridge is really not very safe, all of you don't go up again." ”

After speaking, Shadow ran over cautiously without a trace, stretched out his hand to hold the kill, and was about to pull him and Xiaohu up, when suddenly a thing jumped out of the mercury pool, and opened his mouth to bite Xiaohu's foot, the thing was still covered with mercury, and I couldn't see what it was, but Shadow and Kill obviously felt that the weight on his hands was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was two hundred catties more.

Xiaohu even felt that his foot was about to be broken, and he cried in fright, and after crying twice, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he fainted suddenly.

Shadow Disappearing tried it, felt a little difficult, and said to Wan Kill: "Wan Kill, you let her go, she will die if she is dead, and you can still come up alive." ”

Wan Kill frowned: "What are you kidding, I won't see my friend die in front of my eyes." ”

"You ......" disappeared helplessly, but it was so heavy that he really couldn't pull it up, and he felt like his arm was about to dislocate.

Chu Yaocen saw the thing that bit Xiaohu's ankle from a distance, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and told everyone else behind him not to go up, and after finishing speaking, he returned to the suspension bridge, and grabbed the kill with Shadow without a trace, and the two of them worked together to pull him and Xiaohu up.

Chu Yaocen stretched out his hand to take off the thing that was tightly bitten on Xiaohu's feet, but the surface of the thing was full of mercury, slippery and greasy, it was difficult to use strength, and the bite was too tight, and if he forcibly pulled it out, it was estimated that he would hurt Xiaohu.

There are more and more strange creaking sounds on this suspension bridge, and it is estimated that it will soon collapse completely. "Hurry up to the other side, hurry up!"

Chu Yaocen didn't have time to think about it, he said such a sentence to Disappearing and Finishing, and after speaking, he picked up Xiaohu and ran over quickly.
