Chapter 17: The Three Thousand Corridors
The three men and one woman watched Hatsu and Suzaku disappear, and then their faces changed, although they were unhappy with Hatsukatsu, but they didn't dare to show it head-on.
The woman snorted coldly, "Hmph, what's the spirit, if it weren't for the divine soldier's life, I wouldn't have followed." ”
"That's it," a man chimed in, "On the last trip to the dungeon, there were heavy casualties, and there were only Suzaku and her left in a group of five people, which has never happened in the history of the Divine Soldiers." ”
"Forget it, let's follow, there is an order, we have to do it."
"Didn't you just bring back a butcher's knife, I just saw that she was unhappy, what kind of first demon master in the world, bullshit, made me unhappy, so I buried her in this Qin Emperor's mausoleum."
"Be cautious, let's go."
In front of Ning Ming and the three of them was still the familiar lantern, and the narrow road twisted and turned downward, entering the belly of the mountain, deep into the ground, winding for an unknown length.
Surrounded by cold stone walls, the feet are neat stone bricks, other than that, there is nothing surprising, the legendary Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, there is not even a decent mural.
The only thing that catches the eye in the passage is that there are terracotta warriors every 100 meters.
The terracotta warriors and horses are not blue-gray, but colored, even if they are exposed to the air, the color on them still does not fade at all, holding halberds or short swords, looking at each invading person with a solemn face.
Lin Shuanghua just glanced at these terracotta warriors and horses casually at first, but then he looked at them more and more, and became more and more frightened.
Yan Hong didn't know if she was born fearless, or if she didn't know what fear was, she had to take a look at every terracotta warrior she passed by, and the thunder light in her palm never dissipated.
"Sir, I've never seen such a long road."
Ning Ming nodded, "This is the Three Thousand Corridor," he looked at with the map in his hand, "We're going to be walking for a long time." ”
"Three thousand?"
"Three thousand miles," Ning Ming explained, "the ancients, three hundred steps and one mile, although the steps of the Qin Dynasty were two steps, but the pace is similar to the current one, according to the normal two steps of about one meter, one mile is about one hundred and fifty meters now, and these three thousand corridors are four hundred and fifty thousand meters, that is, nine hundred miles now." ”
"Nine hundred miles!" Yan Hong was startled, "We're going to walk nine hundred miles, what are you kidding?" ”
Lin Shuanghua was also shocked, nine hundred miles, if he really went down, I am afraid it would be dark.
"Go on with peace of mind," Ning Ming smiled, looking confident.
"Sir, these Terracotta Warriors?" The more Lin Shuanghua looked at these terracotta warriors, the more he felt a suppressed timidity in his heart.
"These are all living people who have been made into terracotta warriors," Ning Ming glanced at the colorful terracotta warriors and horses next to him, "And don't stare at them for a long time, those colors have the purpose of confusing the gods, if it weren't for you but the demons and heavenly soldiers, I'm afraid you would have died under your own illusion." ”
Lin Shuanghua struggled to calm down and looked away.
Yan Hong is not afraid, and it doesn't hurt to take a few more looks.
"I've long heard that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Emperor have rumors that they are made from living people, but I didn't expect it to be true," Yan Hong said, "You all say how the first emperor was an emperor through the ages, and his merit is in the future, and I think he is just a tyrant." ”
Ning Ming chuckled, "Little Heavenly Soldier, I advise you to be cautious, in the past, your Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm poisoned Emperor Qin, but it caused a lot of anger in the world, and now you dare to slander the First Emperor like this, I am afraid that you will be beaten to death." ”
"I'm not afraid!"
"You're just a stunned young man," Ning Ming said, pointing to those terracotta warriors, "You have misunderstood the First Emperor at this point, although every terracotta warrior and horse here is made by living people, but each of these people has committed the heinous crime of death, without exception!" ”
Lin Shuanghua glanced behind him, "Sir, someone is coming." ”
"It's okay, it's early summer, it's Suzaku," Ning Ming continued to move forward, holding the map in his hand, he really didn't know if he could see the blurred lines and handwriting in such a dark underground, just relying on the faint light of the ever-bright lamp, "Let's go slowly, wait for them." ”
"Ning Ming," Yan Hong said, "I don't like that early summer, why do I have to go with them." ”
Ning Ming stopped and looked at Yan Hong, "You don't want to go with them?" ”
"I don't want to!" Yan Hong bluntly said that she didn't know what a tactful beating around the bush was.
"Okay," Ning Ming put away the map, "we won't wait for them, we'll go by ourselves." ”
Yan Hong was stunned at first, and then nodded, looking a little happy.
"Little Heavenly Soldier, how many terracotta warriors have we passed?" Ning Ming asked suddenly.
Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly, "How do I know this, you didn't let me count." ”
"Frostbloom."
"Four hundred and seventy-three," Lin Shuanghua pointed to the one ten steps ahead, "that's four hundred and seventy-four." ”
"Look, I'll just say that you don't have to work, you still don't believe it, it's still Xiao Linzi's heart," Ning Ming smiled and walked forward quickly, "Five hundred and one boundary points, that's where the shortcut is, go quickly." ”
The three of them hurried forward.
Chu Xia's footsteps paused, and then pouted, "That guy Ning Ming, he actually sped up his pace, obviously trying to get rid of us." ”
"Early summer, are we going to chase?"
"No need, Ning Ming wants to hide, no one in the world can find him," Chu Xia continued to move forward, "My nose is smarter than a dog, I can smell him Ning Ming's fart every 108,000 miles away, and he wants to get rid of me, dreaming." ”
"Early summer, behind you?"
Chu Xia hesitated, "Don't worry about them, there is Xiaoguang and Lu far away, let them run more roads, they won't die." ”
Suzaku and early summer also speed up their pace.
Ning Ming and the three of them stood in front of the five hundredth terracotta warriors, looking at this and other terracotta warriors and horses, painting their bodies, holding halberds, and looking at them angrily, as if they were alive to question Ning Ming why they broke into the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
Ning Ming stepped forward and pulled out the halberd in the hand of the Terracotta Army.
The next moment, the sound of stones grinding against each other was heard, and the terracotta warriors and horses slowly sank before making way for a passage.
"Let's go." Three people entered.
After that, the terracotta warriors and horses holding halberds slowly rose and returned to their original state.
A moment later, Hatsu stood here, looked at the terracotta warriors, and took down the halberd.
Of the four people in the back, one of them had a change in complexion, "Early summer is gone." ”
Others were taken aback, "Disappear? ”
The man looked at his hand, "That's right, the silk on her body is broken, and we have lost contact with her. ”
"I don't know how long this corridor is, Xiaoguang, you come and take Li Yan, I'll take the spider, it's going to be fast." In the flip of his hand, a long sword appeared, the man rose with the sword, and the man known as the spider stepped on, "Go!" ”
The long sword breaks through the air, and the speed is extremely fast.
Xiaoguang's eyes narrowed, he glanced at the dark passage, picked up Li Yan, and turned into a streamer and hurried forward.
Numerous terracotta warriors and horses were left behind by them, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, seven hundred,......
In front of the ever-bright lamp is a heavy stone wall, as majestic as the city wall, there is a relief dragon head on it, which can no longer be described as lifelike, the dragon head seems to have real flesh and blood, open the mouth of the blood basin, and there is a stream of water rushing out.
"It's!" Lin Shuanghua was shocked after seeing the dragon's head, because he had seen this dragon's head in an ancient book and calligraphy.
"That's right, he is the dragon you've seen," Ning Ming said, "In the past, there was a black dragon that brought disaster to the world, and the lives of the disturbing party were ruined, and the Qin Emperor ordered the warlock Xu Fu to kill it, and then cut off its dragon head, smoked the demon spirit, and sealed it in this Qin Emperor's Mausoleum forever." ”
"Xu Fu? The warlock who searched for the elixir of life for Emperor Qin? Lin Shuanghua said suspiciously, with disdain and disbelief, "He? Can you kill the dragon? ”
Lin Shuanghua knew, the ancient books recorded that the black dragon was already a big demon, even if it was a heavenly god, I am afraid it would be difficult to help him, he Xu Fu can kill a human warlock in the big demon?
"Xu Fu is a demon master," Ning Ming looked at Lin Shuanghua, "Maybe with his strength, let alone kill the black dragon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the black dragon," Ning Ming paused, looked at Yan Hong and Lin Shuanghua, and smiled, "What if he gets a corner of the Heavenly Ghost Flying Immortal Map?" ”
Yan Hong and Lin Shuanghua were stunned.
