Chapter 308: Underwater Secret Passage
Wen Qingshan nodded: "That's right!" During the Spring and Autumn Period, the smelting technique of the Yue Kingdom had indeed reached the peak of its peak, and even today, I am afraid it would be difficult to reach such a high level of smelting. Although the smelting techniques of the Qin Dynasty were not comparable to those of the Spring and Autumn Yue Kingdom, the anti-rust technology was quite mature. In addition, the interior of the imperial tomb is isolated from the world and in a low-oxygen environment, even after more than 2,000 years, it may not rust. Speaking of this, he changed his words again and said: "Moreover, the mechanism in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is probably from the hand of a strange person who is proficient in mechanism arts. ”
"A strange man who is proficient in mechanical arts? Who is it? I asked curiously.
Wen Qingshan said: "I don't know who the specific person is, but I'm afraid this person has nothing to do with Lu Ban." ”
As soon as I heard Lu Ban, I subconsciously glanced at Niu Fatzi, his ancestors were carpenters for three generations, and his father also died because of the ancestral legend book "Lu Ban Book", a few years ago, as long as someone said about carpentry work, his eyes would be slightly red. So I'm worried that mentioning Luban will bring back sad memories for him.
My worries were obviously unnecessary, the expression on the fat man's face did not change in any way, and it seemed that after all these years, he had long since gotten rid of the painful memories.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and asked Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, why do you think that the person who designed the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has something to do with Lu Ban?" ”
Wen Qingshan said: "According to the wild history, after Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, entered the customs, he used 300,000 people to steal and dig the Qin Tomb. While they were digging, suddenly a golden goose flew out of the tomb, and this magical goose flew south all the way to the south, and did not know where to go. Dou turned the stars, after a few hundred years, to the Three Kingdoms period, a official named Zhang Shan who was a Taishou in Japan, one day, someone sent him a golden goose carved with gold, this golden goose is vivid, lifelike, Zhang Shan judged from the text carved on the golden goose, this thing is from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. ”
"Holy! That's too mysterious, isn't it? How could a wild goose carved out of gold fly out of the tomb? ”
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "This is not necessarily impossible, according to classical records, Lu Ban once used the technique of making a wooden kite that could fly in the sky, and volleyed it in the air for three days and three nights without landing. Therefore, the golden goose that flew out of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very likely to be made of tricks, and it can be inferred that the mechanism in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang may have come from the hands of a strange person who is proficient in tricks. ”
After listening to Wen Qingshan's words, I said worriedly: "If there are really many organs in the mausoleum, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to trespass like this?" ”
Wen Qingshan said: "Not only is it very dangerous, if you don't take any protective measures, it can be said that you will die for life!" ”
"Holy! So why are we going in there! Isn't that the same as looking for death? The lowly retreated.
I glared at him and said, "I advised you not to come with me, but now that everyone has come, they have changed their minds." If you're scared, you'll play with the fat cow tomorrow. ”
"You...... What do you say? I...... I'm not afraid...... I'm ...... I'm just worried about the mechanism in the tomb...... "Cheap was choked by my words, his face was flushed, this guy is most afraid of others saying that he is timid, although he is really not very bold.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, turned to Wen Qingshan and asked, "Boss Wen, then what countermeasures do you have?" ”
Wen Qingshan said: "Naturally, there is a countermeasure! At that time, we will enter the mausoleum wearing body armor. Although the bows and crossbows of the Qin Dynasty were powerful, there was still a certain gap between them and the power of modern firearms. And now the best body armor can block the strafing of AK47 at close range, and the Qin Dynasty bow and crossbow will never be able to wear it through. ”
"Body armor?" I was slightly stunned: "But you didn't say you wanted to prepare body armor when we came!" Where are you going to go now? ”
Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I have already greeted the Ninth Master a few days ago, and the portable oxygen tank and body armor are all provided by them." ”
A few of us were chatting, Wen Qingshan's mobile phone rang, he picked it up, it was actually the ninth master calling, it turned out that the ninth master already knew that we arrived in Xi'an a day in advance, so he called over, and invited us to go to the secret passage to the imperial tomb and underground palace tonight to have a look.
Wen Qingshan couldn't ask for this, so he immediately agreed, and the ninth master asked us to wait in the hotel, and he would send someone to pick us up at night.
We had a casual meal in the hotel, and then sat in the room and waited for the arrival of the ninth master's people, when it was about nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door, I immediately got up and opened the door, and looked, it turned out to be the flat-headed man I and Wen Qingshan had met before, the flat-headed man nodded at me, and said, "The ninth master asked me to pick up a few." ”
Everyone was ready for a long time, immediately took their backpacks, and followed the flat-headed man downstairs.
A Cadillac Escalade SUV was parked in front of the hotel, and the flat-headed man beckoned us to get into the car, and then drove towards Lishan in person.
About half an hour later, we came to a valley, leading to the valley is only about a meter wide, paved with bluestone slabs, the car can not drive in, the flat-headed man parked the car on a vacant lot next to the road, everyone got out of the car, and the flat-headed man led everyone to the valley.
From time to time, the chilly night breeze blows in the valley, making people shudder.
The fat cow man who followed me whispered, "Boss, why is this place so cold? Is it because of the heavy yin energy? ”
The cheap smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, you kid, it's already winter, and it's a big night, can it not be cold!" ”
Although it was reasonable, out of curiosity, I took the compass out of my satchel, took it in my hand and glanced at the plate, and I couldn't help but be surprised that the pointer on the plate had really changed.
I took a deep breath and said, "I really let the fat cow say, this place is indeed more yin." ”
"What!? Brother, don't scare me. The cheap was taken aback.
"Why am I lying to you, you see that the pointers on this compass have changed."
The cheap didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took out the Tiangang Demon Mirror and hugged it tightly to his chest.
The fat cow was even more frightened and asked me, "Old ...... Boss, this ...... This place should be ...... There shouldn't be ghosts. ”
I turned my head and glared at him, "What are you talking about!" Don't think that there are ghosts when you hear that yin qi is heavy, this is a valley, and it is in a north-south direction, and the time of direct sunlight every day is relatively short, and the yin qi will naturally be heavier than other places, which is a normal phenomenon. ”
Listening to my explanation, they were a little relieved. However, it could be seen that they were still a little nervous, and from time to time they turned their heads to look around.
The group walked all the way along the trail, and after walking for more than half an hour, there was a faint sound of "bang-la-la" water in front of them. When I got closer, I realized that there was a waterfall in front of me, and the waterfall was rushing down from a height of seven or eight meters into a deep pool. And right next to the deep pool, there were two people standing, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was none other than Long Jiu and Long Jianfei.
Long Jiu was wearing a dark red Tang costume and holding a dragon's head cane in his hand, while Long Jianfei was wearing a set of black tight-fitting clothes, and he was actually carrying a long sword more than one meter long on his back, the body of the long sword was wrapped in black cloth, and only the hilt was exposed. That outfit is like an ancient swordsman.
Seeing Long Jiu, Wen Qingshan hurriedly clasped his fists at him and said, "Ninth Master, let's meet again!" ”
Long Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I've been waiting here for a long time, Third Brother Wen, what do you think of this place?" ”
Wen Qingshan raised his head and looked around, and said, "This place is quiet, but the yin qi is a little heavier, Ninth Master, why did you let people bring us here?" ”
"Do you know what this place is?" Long Jiu asked rhetorically.
Wen Qingshan shook his head and said with a smile: "The Ninth Master smiled, just now your brother's car is driving fast, plus I am not very familiar with Xi'an, I really don't know where this is." ”
Long Jiu said: "This is a valley in the back mountain of Lishan, about five or six miles away from the Qinling Tomb. And the entrance to the secret passage of the Qinling Tomb is near here. ”
"What, around here!?" Wen Qingshan was a little surprised, he looked around, and said, "Although this place is remote and quiet, there should be frequent tourists passing by, if the entrance to the secret passage is here, I'm afraid it has already been discovered." ”
Long Jiu smiled slightly: "It seems that the third brother Wen doesn't believe it." ”
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "It's not that Wen doesn't believe it, it's just that it's really unimaginable. ”
Long Jiu pointed his hand into the waterhole and said, "I tell you the truth, the entrance to the secret passage leading to the Qinling Underground Palace is in this waterhole, located in the depths of the waterfall directly below the waterfall. ”
Hearing Long Jiu say this, I immediately thought of the experience we had when we dived into the Yin Water Rock, and the entrance to the Yin Water Rock was hidden underwater, which was similar to this Qinling Underground Palace.
Wen Qingshan took a flashlight and shone at the pool, but because the pool was very deep and the water surface was reflective, he couldn't see the underwater situation clearly at all.
Long Jiu said on the side: "According to records, for thousands of years, whether it is the rainy season or the dry season, the water in this pool has neither overflowed nor dried up, and the water level has hardly changed, so the entrance to the secret passage hidden under the waterfall has never been discovered. Moreover, there are still five or six miles away from the Imperial Tomb Sealing Tomb, even if someone discovers that there is a dark cave underwater, they will think that it is just a natural cave, and they will never think that it is actually the entrance to the secret passage leading to the Imperial Tomb. ”
Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "The entrance to this secret passage is indeed hidden, no wonder no one has discovered it even under the noses of tourists." ”
