Chapter 22: Target Qin Emperor's Mausoleum
How much dragon qi there was in the Qin Dynasty, Liu Xuan didn't know, and Shi Daoren didn't know either.
Shi Daoren only knew such a thing after more than a hundred years of cultivation because he had been cultivating for a long time and because he liked to travel around and listen to those secrets and legends.
Coupled with some of his own search and exploration, he only knew how to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but he learned one thing according to some clues: the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is not so easy to enter.
"Poor Dao knows the way to enter, but there are many organs inside to deal with the intruder, with the cultivation of Poor Dao, you may be able to pass the first few levels, but the last hurdle to protect the elixir, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. ”
Shi Daoren directly said the difficulties of this trip, he knew that although he and Liu Xuan were both monks, Liu Xuan was now the emperor of the entire Han Dynasty, and a person sitting in such a high position must have a temper, especially if he could not tolerate being used and deceived, he wanted to get his help, it was best to explain things clearly first, otherwise when the time came, the Son of Heaven felt that he had been fooled, and he would not be pleased.
Ordinary emperors can say that Shi Daoren is confident that even if he offends him, he will have the means to leave, but this is different, this is an emperor who understands real occult arts, and his strength is not bad, if he is really angry, he may not be able to please him.
Based on these considerations, Shi Daoren told all the information he knew: "The Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor is located in the east of Chang'an, but if we want to enter, we must not use normal methods, and there is a place in the southeast of Chang'an, where we can directly enter the interior of the Imperial Mausoleum." ”
"Could it be because of an earthquake or something like that?" Liu Xuan's guess was not unreasonable, but he quickly overturned it.
As far as he knew, even after 1,800 years, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was not really fully opened, and the so-called Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in later generations was only the outermost part, so it can be seen that the interior has never been exposed at all.
This proves that during this period of time, there was no such thing as a natural entrance to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum due to changes in topography.
"The entrance is an entrance, but it's not an ordinary entrance. ”
Shi Daoren shook his head: "The senior who helped create the Qin Emperor Mausoleum was indeed a great sage, and he was proficient in the way of formations, using the structure of the Qin Emperor Mausoleum and the surrounding terrain to create a formation that could be used by people to enter and exit. ”
"Teleportation array?" Shi Daoren explained the trouble, but Liu Xuan understood it at once. Having said all this, doesn't it mean that the monk who helped build the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum left a back door? And it was in the form of a teleportation array.
"Originally, that formation could only be used for a certain period of time, but due to the change of terrain and the movement of the leylines, the formation also changed...... Poor Dao went to check a while ago, and found that the formation was not destroyed, and fortunately, in the next month, this formation can be used. And after this month, then ......"
Liu Xuan nodded, only then did he know that there was still a time limit for that formation, no wonder Shi Daoren would run to Chang'an during this time, probably just to see if he could see him, and then invite himself to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. As a result, he just wanted to go out on patrol, but it saved this Shi Daoist a lot of trouble.
From the current point of view, the opportunity is only in the next month, if he succeeds, he can naturally get the pill he wants, and Liu Xuan can also get the Qin Dynasty dragon qi that was suppressed.
If you miss this time, the formation can't be used, and if you want to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, I'm afraid you can only dig - this kind of behavior is particularly easy to destroy the Imperial Tomb, in case one is not careful, the entire Imperial Tomb is destroyed, then the contents of the inside will never be able to get it again.
Maybe the dragon qi will escape a little, and don't even think about the elixir.
In fact, Liu Xuan was also more inclined to enter the underground palace, because he now attached great importance to that dragon qi, if he could get it all, even if he couldn't raise the golden dragon to the mature realm, he could make the golden dragon grow up more than a little bit.
If you cultivate yourself, you can do many things as you like. Not to mention, he can use his dragon qi to directly affect the Wenchen generals who have been 'canonized' by him, so that their cultivation speed will become a little faster.
This will naturally go a long way towards his ultimate goal, and he has absolutely no reason to miss it.
"A month?"
Liu Xuan's fingers began to unconsciously tap on the table in front of him, not much power, but in this quiet and somewhat weird big tent, it was very conspicuous.
Shi Daoren saw that Liu Xuan was thinking about it, and sat aside without saying a word, although his eyes looked at the empty place, but his ears had been paying attention to the sound of Liu Xuan's fingers tapping on the case.
When he heard the voice suddenly stop, the corners of Shi Daoren's mouth curled slightly, he knew that Liu Xuan had already made a decision.
Sure enough, I only heard Liu Xuan call, and called Cao Bao, who had been guarding outside, in, and immediately ordered: "Go and call Gongda and Hansheng, I have something to tell them." ”
Cao Bao didn't ask much, turned his head to find the two of them, and called the two of them after a short time and let them into the tent.
Huang Zhong and Xun You were originally busy with their own affairs, and when Cao Bao found them, they were able to finish the matter, and they were about to take a rest, when they saw the close ministers next to the emperor coming over, and they couldn't take a break, so they hurried over.
As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw the Shi Daoist of the Hongnong Mansion sitting aside, and the Hou Emperor closed his eyes as if he was pretending to sleep.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Liu Xuan say: "Today arrange for all the soldiers to rest, and tomorrow morning, go to the southeast of Chang'an." ”
"Huh, southeast of Chang'an?"
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to give such an order? Because their trip came out of the west gate of Chang'an, and they also went west at the beginning. After all, the emperor's inspection of the northwest was mainly aimed at these counties west of Chang'an and north of the Qinling Mountains.
Why did this suddenly change its route to the southeast? Could it be that the emperor wanted to go to the vicinity of Tongguan to take a look?
It was nothing to go to Tongguan, although Chang'an still lives in Tongguan now, but it is very different from when Dong Zhuo was there, because the east of Chang'an is now controlled by Kong Rong.
This Kong Rong is also a loyal minister of the imperial court, even if it is a situation of separation, but when the imperial court issues an edict, he will do it, and in general, it is also the sphere of influence of the imperial court, but Liu Xuan is now busy governing the northwest, and he has no idea of taking Hongnong and Henan armies back under the direct control of the imperial court for the time being - because the surrounding situation will be more complicated after the retraction, and there are so many soldiers and horses in the imperial court at the moment, under the premise that the strength has not increased significantly, it is better not to be greedy.
Because of various circumstances, although the Tongguan side is not very safe now, it is not too dangerous, at least the west of Tongguan must be fine. The emperor wants to go, as long as he takes all the necessary measures, it is not a big deal.
Although Huang Zhong was curious about why the emperor suddenly had such an idea, he still respectfully accepted the order.
As for Xun You, he didn't care anymore, anyway, he came out to inspect the agricultural affairs in various places, and he just followed the emperor to see where he went.
Moreover, he was keenly aware that the Son of Heaven suddenly changed his mind and changed his course, which had a great relationship with that Shi Daoren. And as soon as he saw the Taoist, Xun You naturally thought of those Xuanmen spells.
"Maybe it has something to do with that cultivation?"
I had such a guess in my heart, but I didn't ask, but Liu Xuan explained simply: "This Shi Daoist said that there is a strange treasure in the southeast of Chang'an, and I want to go and get it in person." ”
"Strange Treasure ......"
Huang Zhong didn't say anything, he didn't know what the so-called strange treasure was, but it didn't seem to be in the matter he cared about.
However, Xun You became more and more sure in his heart, it must be something related to the occult arts, and maybe it was a treasure that His Majesty thought was particularly helpful for cultivation.
He didn't know that he had guessed the truth infinitely, and Liu Xuan didn't know that Xun You had almost learned everything, he just said to Xun You suddenly after he finished the order: "This trip depends on Qing and others, and I have also heard of Han Sheng's exploits in Jingzhou, so I issued an edict to transfer Han Sheng to the Beijing Division." ”
"Now that the imperial court is in the time of employing people, Han Sheng will definitely be able to make contributions on the battlefield in the future! But there are still many things that Han Sheng needs to be familiar with first, and he might as well talk to Gongda more when he has time. ”
These words, in Huang Zhong's ears, meant that the emperor valued himself, and at the same time made a promise to himself, he was naturally very happy.
But Xun You heard that the emperor wanted to help Huang Zhong lay the foundation by himself. Raising his eyes and looking at the Son of Heaven, he saw that the emperor was nodding slightly at him, he knew that he had not made a mistake, so he also took advantage of the situation: "The minister also wants to be close to General Huang!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xuan knew that Xun You understood, nodded and said a few words to the two of them, and asked them to retreat.
Huang Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong, and he was about to go back to rest after leaving the big tent, but he didn't want Xun You not to leave, but stepped forward directly: "If General Huang is fine, I just have something to say to General Huang." ”
Hearing this, Huang Zhong was stunned for a while, he originally thought that the emperor's words were just casual polite words, and Xun You's promise was just a coping word, how could he think that this Xun You really wanted to be 'closer' to himself?
However, when Lord Hubu Shangshu spoke, Huang Zhong naturally wouldn't give him any face, nodded, and took Xun You to his big tent.
Liu Xuan, who had been paying attention to these things, naturally heard them clearly, opened his eyes and smiled slightly, he knew that if this trip went well, he could completely cultivate Huang Zhong.
Originally, he wanted to teach in person, but he didn't want Shi Daoren to bring such a news to himself, so let Xun You do the basic things.
Anyway, the more advanced magic tricks and the weapons and other problems have to be brought forward by himself, and he is not afraid that there will be no chance to give grace. What's more, this time to get the dragon qi of the Qin Dynasty, it is not a chance for Huang Zhong, if there is any strange treasure in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Liu Xuan will definitely not be stingy, and he will reward everyone nearby, if Huang Zhong shows it, he will naturally get benefits.
Right now......
"Since you have such an opportunity, let's go and brush down the copy of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum first!" (To be continued)
