Chapter 43: The First Emperor

The first emperor Yingzheng, this is a very interesting historical figure, not to mention anything else, but this spiritual pursuit is very different from others. In my memory, he was not only the first human monarch to pursue unification, but also the first emperor to pursue eternal life. This great emperor has made countless achievements in his life, not to mention his footprints in the Seven Wonders of the World, plus the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, known as the Eighth Wonder of the World.

According to historical records, the first emperor began to build a mausoleum for himself when he inherited the throne, and the construction was not completed until his death, and finally it was hastily completed under the auspices of his son Hu Hai, and it took 35 years to build. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang covers an area of more than 180,000 square meters and consists of three large palace complexes. Even so, it still did not conform to the original plan, but the Qin Dynasty fell into war shortly after the death of the First Emperor, and never experienced to complete his great idea.

Interestingly, Qin Shi Huang never stopped his pursuit of immortality in his life, building an unprecedentedly luxurious mausoleum on the one hand, and collecting medicine and alchemy on the other hand. But in the end, immortality is still as distant as a mirage, and after all, it is more realistic to build a mausoleum made of stone.

But this beautiful space in front of you is the tomb of the legendary and mysterious Qin Shi Huang? Who would build their own mausoleum on a ship?

I recalled all the information related to the First Emperor in my head, and I didn't find the slightest sign of unreliability, or rather, people were not at all capable of doing such romantic things.

Perhaps, he had foreseen that he would not be able to achieve his dream of immortality in his lifetime, so he built his mausoleum into a boat, and after death, he had to search for immortality in the endless time!

By this time we were halfway there, and the city under our feet had become denser and denser, and I had carefully looked at the rivers, and there was a transparent oily liquid floating on top of the silver mercury, and no one could tell what it was, except that it was a way to prevent the mercury from evaporating and oxidizing.

The situation on the high platform is clearly visible, a chair that is not very wide is placed upright in the center, the chair is black all over, engraved with some red totems, and you can see that the workmanship is extremely exquisite from afar. What is special is that the back of the chair is very high, and from the height of the person sitting on the chair, the back must be at least three meters, and it is indeed erected there like a monument.

True, there was a man sitting on a chair, dressed in very wide clothes, and his face could not be seen clearly.

We were anxious to figure out what was going on, so we couldn't help but speed up our pace, there were long steps below the high platform, and there was a strange symbol engraved on each step, Liu Dongxi carefully identified it, saying that he couldn't recognize it, it seemed to have something to do with witchcraft, about a natural god.

Finally, we climbed the high platform, and the chair was close to us.

The man sitting on the chair was extremely burly, estimated to stand up about two meters, with wide sleeves and a belt, wearing a high crown with a simple style, a long exaggerated sword hanging diagonally from his belt, and a square wooden box at the front of his feet.

The simple and delicate ornamentation of the black robe was still as good as new, and the chair was still shiny, but now these things were completely insignificant, and we were amazed that the man's face was still like that of a living person!

I saw that this person's face was as long as a wolf, his forehead was as low and narrow as an ape, a pair of eyebrows were high, his eyebrows were pressed tightly against his eyes, the bridge of his nose was as abrupt as a peak, and under two extremely deep nasolabial folds, a thin lip and a large mouth, although tightly closed, still pulled towards his cheeks.

Such a face can be said to be extremely ugly, and the whole face is filled with an indescribable anger, but it gives people a strangely majestic feeling. A pair of large, jointed hands were very unusually exposed beyond the sleeves of the robe, and the thumbs were clasped into fists like babies and placed on their legs.

The complexion seems to be very easy to explain, the ancients seem to have a lot of experience in this aspect, not to mention anything else, something similar to the Zhuyan Pearl, which is endlessly legendary. Even Cixi had one, let alone the First Emperor. But ...... "This is the First Emperor?" "I'm not sure to ask Liu Shi, I'm very reluctant to put that famous emperor and such an honor together.

"Although it doesn't quite match what is said in the history books, it is somewhat similar," Liu hesitated......

"Definitely not, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is far away from here, how can it be here, besides, this ship has no roots and no evidence, how can a generation of emperors bury themselves in such a place?" Wang Shanqi unceremoniously interrupted Liu Dongxi.

Liu Shiwu was not annoyed, and bent down to move the boxes on the ground.

The shape of the box is very ordinary, horizontal and vertical, and I don't know what material it is made of, but there is no reflection at all.

There was a soft click, and the box was not locked, so it was simply opened, and a blue light was reflected, and it turned out to be a blue stone!

Liu Dongxi exclaimed, and hurriedly reached out to move the stone, the inside of the box was quite large, and Liu Dongxin turned over the stone without any trouble, and a few lines of ghost-like words were engraved on the stone!

With a low shout, Liu Dongxi and Wang Shanqi were stunned! I looked at them strangely, and then at the stone.

"Ordered by the heaven......s," Liu Dongxi muttered.

"Longevity and longevity!" Wang Shanqi continued.

What's that? I was just about to speak, but suddenly I realized the origin of these eight words, God! Isn't this a national jade seal?

Several people gathered around and stretched out their heads to look. I finally recovered from the shock, pointed to the stone and asked, "This is the heirloom jade seal?" ”

Liu Shishi trembled and groped for the stone, the blue light seemed to flow in the stone, and the aura was compelling.

"That's right, this should be the heirloom jade seal!"

"I ......didn't know what I was going to say, my voice trembled."

Can you not tremble? What is the jade seal of the country, it is second only to the Yellow Emperor Jiuding, compared to him, Sui Houzhu is a floating cloud!

Wang Shanqi looked very calm, raised his head and looked at us one by one and said, "Don't get excited, this is not the jade seal of the country!" ”

I was still immersed in the ecstasy of touching the artifact, and my head almost exploded when a basin of cold water on my head made my head burst a little. "How not?"

"Two!" Wang Shanqi said calmly: "First, the jade seal of the country is carved from He's Bi, and the origin of He's Bi is near Jingshan, and most of the jade in that place is topaz, it is impossible to be of this color, and in addition, there is no jade of this color!" Second, when the jade seal of the country was passed on to the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, it was impossible to be buried with Qin Shi Huang, and when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xiao smashed a corner of the jade seal, and then inlaid it with gold, and there was no one on it! ”

These words are reasonable, but after stopping me, Liu Shixin suddenly spoke, "What you said is good, but the jade seal that has been handed down is originally a fake!" ”
