"Open it and take a look!" Zhao Zhen is also impatient, and at this point, everyone is becoming more and more obsessed with the truth.

"To be honest, I don't care how much treasure this business can get in the end, the only thing that supports me is the desire to explore the truth." Yelu Qinghui echoed.

Hu Bing carefully took out a box placed in the dark grid, the box is rectangular, about 40 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, this box has been waiting here for more than 2,000 years, when I first saw it, because of the isolation of oxygen outside, the surface color was still bright and dazzling, but when it was blown by the wind, it immediately turned into a thin layer of ash.

Even the wooden box on the outside has become brittle and can be damaged if you are not careful.

"You'd better come." Hu Bing glanced at me and motioned for me to open the wooden box.

I nodded, and gently lowered the wooden box to the ground, and although there was a constant sound of banging outside and dust falling from above, everyone's breathing was calm, quietly waiting for the secret to be revealed.

I slowly removed the lock from the box, and after making sure that the box was not set up, I slowly opened the box, and the contents were finally presented to us.

I saw that there was only a scroll with yellow edges on a black background in the box, and the appearance of the scroll made me sure that the owner of the tomb must have something to say, otherwise, she would not have hidden this mystery box here.

"It could be an edict." I guessed, "If you look at the gold wire trim on it, judging from the craftsmanship, it must be the royal family above the princes who deserve it." ”

I opened the scroll slowly, and what came into my eyes was a dense and exquisite small seal, and the first two words were larger, which were the words "edict". From this, I guess that this is really an edict.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the orders of the monarch were called "orders", "orders", and "administrations", and there was no specific format. Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, called the emperor, changed the order to the system, and the edict became the emperor's special document to announce the subjects, and since then, the "edict" has appeared in the emperor's documents, indicating that this is the emperor's order.

"Could it be that this is the holy decree of Qin Shi Huang?" Yelu Qinghui was surprised.

"The holy decree issued by Qin Shi Huang to his biological mother, why should it be hidden in such a secret compartment." Zhao Zhen questioned.

In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, ending the situation of the division of princes and establishing the first unified feudal state in history. In order to consolidate the new regime, Qin Shi Huang carried out a series of major reforms in politics, economics, and even cultural and ideological aspects. Such as the unity of weights and measures, currency, and writing, as the history books say, "the car is on the same track, and the book is the same text".

Today, nearly 2,000 years later, we can still see the holy decree issued by Qin Shi Huang at that time. Among them, the Palace Museum - the edict of the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang is the most eye-catching.

In the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang, the edict engraved in small characters and embedded in bronze was: The emperor annexed all the princes of the world, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, so he was named the emperor. There is no doubt about the traffic laws and measures promulgated by Lonely, and the light ones are exiled and punished, and the heavy ones are linked.

In the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang, the edict engraved in small characters and embedded in pottery reads: the military talisman of the mobilization army, the right side (on behalf of the noble) to the king, the left half to the general, all the people who mobilize the person who is strong and stubborn, more than 50, must have two halves of the talisman in full, can be mobilized, if there is no none, it cannot be mobilized, and the offender will destroy the three tribes.

However, to date, no edict written on silk during the reign of Qin Shi Huang has been found.

"Maybe this is an edict written by the Empress Dowager herself." I was silent for a moment and said.

"Wrote it yourself?" Chen Yina wondered, "Is it a guilty edict?" ”

I nodded and said, "That's right, it's a guilty edict." ”

"Guilty of your own edict?" Everyone gathered around, waiting for me to uncover the truth of this dusty history.

But I will

The scroll was put away, "Now is not the time, we have to find a safe place first." ”

Everyone whetted their appetites, and now they poured cold water on them all at once, and they all complained a little, but when they heard the continuous impact outside, they didn't say much.

"It's not good to stay here, Brother Gao, do you know what else to do?" I said to Gao Yuhan.

Gao Yuhan nodded, "The main burial chamber should be safe. ”

"Isn't the main burial chamber where we were?" Hu Bing questioned.

"It's not!" Gao Yuhan shook his head, "The real main tomb is not there, this is just a vacant tomb, set up for those who want treasures, tomb robbers will leave when they get the treasure, and they will not disturb the purity of the tomb owner." ”

"And where is the main burial chamber?"

"It's still a long way from here."

"Looks like we're going to have to deal with that thing out there first!"

As soon as my voice fell, Zhao Zhen suddenly said, "Listen, the impact outside has stopped!" ”

"Did it pretend to be tired and go to rest?" Yelu Qinghui said stupidly.

Gao Yuhan immediately put his ear against the wall.

"What are you still listening to, there's no one out there anymore." Yelu Qinghui said to Gao Yuhan.

Gao Yuhan ignored it and put his ear on the wall again. After a while, Gao Yuhan turned his head to me and said, "Listen again, is there any movement outside?" ”

I leaned my ear against the wall in confusion, listened for a while, and found that the movement outside had indeed stopped.

"Did you really leave?" I turned my head to Gao Yuhan and asked.

Gao Yuhan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. After speaking, Gao Yuhan sat back on the stone.

"What do we do now, do we want to go out?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Gao Yuhan shook his head and said, "All we have to do now is wait. ”

"Wait, when?" Yelu Qinghui asked from the side.

Gao Yuhan squinted at Yelu Qinghui and said, "Wait until it's completely safe outside." ”

"So how do we know if what's out there is gone or not?" Yelu Qinghui muttered quietly.

Although his voice was very small, Gao Yuhan's ears seemed to be very good, he turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything.

After waiting for about dozens of minutes, I leaned on the wall and listened, and found that there was no movement outside, so I turned my head and said to Gao Yuhan: "There is no movement outside, it is estimated that they have left, should we go out?" ”

Gao Yuhan nodded at me, only to see Gao Yuhan walk to the side of the stone wall, touch it with his hand, and the stone wall opened with a click.

Looking at the situation outside, I couldn't help but take a breath.

A body was also left on the ground.

This is a special corpse.

Zhao Zhen walked into the special corpse and took a look, almost scaring him to death. Zhao Zhen pointed to this thing and asked, "This is the corpse leader?" ”

Gao Yuhan nodded and said, "Look at what that kind of thing is for, be careful that you won't be able to eat." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned, didn't speak, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it.

Seeing Zhao Zhen smoking, Yelu Qinghui ran over and said, "Give me one." ”

"Why don't you buy it yourself?" Zhao Zhen said teasingly.

Yelu Qinghui listened to Zhao Zhen's words, his face changed, and then he smiled: "You don't have money." ”

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, took one out of the cigarette case and handed it to him, then turned around and walked towards me and Gao Yuhan.

"What do you two think, isn't this corpse boss very awesome, why did you burp yourself?"

"It should have triggered the defense system of this ancient tomb

system, it was killed by itself. I analyzed.

"What?" Zhao Zhen was puzzled.

"Look here." I pointed to the holes in the walls around me, "These holes didn't appear before, they must have been deliberately left by the people who built the tomb, this layer of traps is not easy to trigger, it is completely sealed in the wall, and only when the wall is destroyed, these holes will appear." ”

"Just now, this corpse hit the wall, cracks appeared in the wall, and the plaster also fell, these small holes appeared, I think this small hole is filled with poison gas, which can poison the corpse to death!"

Zhao Zhen and Yelu Qinghui nodded, "Then all the immortals here are poisonous gas?" ”

"The owner of the tomb probably designed this mechanism to prevent the corpse, these poisonous gases do not cause any harm to the human body, but the corpse will die immediately."

"Anyway, it's not good to stay here for a long time, so let's go to the main burial chamber quickly." Hu Bing proposed.

Everyone nodded in agreement, because everyone wanted to see what the secret was written in the edict earlier.

Gao Yuhan and I walked in the front, and neither of us spoke at first, but I could see that Gao Yuhan had something to say, but I didn't know where to start.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked softly in Gao Yuhan's ear, taking the lead in breaking this lifeless atmosphere.

Gao Yuhan glanced at me puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I laughed a little and said, "You don't have to pretend anymore, I can already see it." ”

"What do you see?"

"Actually, from the beginning when you agreed to cooperate with me, I doubted your identity, even if you didn't say it at that time, but in fact, the two of us also tacitly agreed." Seeing that Gao Yuhan ignored me, I continued, "Today's incident, I know you feel guilty in your heart, you actually don't want Qiu Xiaoyan to get involved, right?" ”

"It's already obvious, is it necessary to say it?"

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Sort of." Gao Yuhan said lightly.

"Li Dongjie is dead, and I don't want you to follow in his footsteps."

Gao Yuhan suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Sure enough, it's a god and ghost contractor, you can see it." At first, I thought that you were just guessing, you shouldn't know my identity, it seems, you already knew. ”

"You, like Li Dongjie, should also be involved in the middle of the way, right?"

Gao Yuhan was stunned for a moment, "I didn't expect this to be seen by you." ”

I shook my head and said, "Just guessing." ”

Gao Yuhan waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to tell you, I'll tell you after you unlock the secret of the edict." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Okay, but you should tell me who you are, right?" ”

"You're right, I'm the mausoleum protector, Li Dongjie has a tattoo on his body, which is the mark of their clan." Gao Yuhan said, "I have similar tattoos on my body, but it's not a bully. ”

After speaking, Li Dongjie took off his clothes, revealing his upper body, and saw a red bird on his back, which was almost exactly the same as the bird totem on the corridor.

"Are you—a descendant of Zhao Ji?" I was surprised.

"It's not a descendant, I'm just a descendant of the mausoleum protectors, according to legend, the tattoo on our body is a bustard, that's a satire of our people, maybe the empress dowager looks back on her own experience in her later years, criticizes and evaluates herself."

"It seems that your clan has not guarded this place for generations."

Gao Yuhan nodded, "In order to hide our identity, we have never stayed here in the form of a group, but have turned into a secret group, usually scattered around, and only when we receive some unfavorable signals will we organize to defend." ”
