Chapter 114: Inside the Stone Wall
After listening to Sun Laoer's words, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the huge and magnificent stone gate in front of them, a huge stone was completely in the sky, such a huge stone really didn't know where to find it, and how it was transported? It really makes people admire the ingenious skills and wisdom of the ancient craftsmen.
Unless, unless this monolith was originally taken from this huge grotto!
If this is the case, the natural formation of the grotto, and the huge stone, the magic of nature is really incredible.
Looking at the huge and towering stone gate, Tang Da suddenly asked, "It is impossible for such a huge Broken Dragon Stone to be opened again, in this case, how did you enter it twenty years ago?"
This question seemed to remind Sun Lao Er, he seemed to think of something, his face changed, and he asked Mo Qizhong: "Since the Jiangnan Ming family is scheming and wants to enter it to explore the secrets of the imperial tomb, why did they only send these two people to bring you here?"
Mo Qizhong said: "Of course it won't be just these two people, they came more than ten people this time, but all of them are first-class masters, almost all the elites of the Ming family." ”
At this time, Ye Feng interjected and asked, "Then is that old man Ming here?"
In fact, he wanted to ask Ming Wenlan if he was here, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that everyone didn't know the matter between himself and Ming Wenlan, and he felt that it was not good to ask, so he changed it to ask if the old man was here.
Mo Qizhong shook his head: "That's not true, this old man Ming seems to have more important things, and he is also very confident in his group of elites, so he didn't come together." ”
Sun Laoer's face sank: "Since there are more than ten people, what about them? Where are they now? Didn't you already tell them the passage to the inside?"
Mo Qizhong smiled bitterly and said: "Naturally, I didn't tell them, otherwise how could they leave me here?" It is because they coerced and lured me and tortured me in every way, and I didn't tell them how to enter it, and in desperation, they have now split up along the stone wall to find other portals to enter, leaving me here and letting these two people take care of me. ”
"It's also that they are too confident, underestimating my Mo family's skills, thinking that everything will be fine if they seal a few of my acupoints, but they didn't expect that my Mo family has a secret method of breaking through the acupoints and being restricted. It was I who took advantage of the carelessness of these two people and were defenseless, forcibly rushed out of the acupoint, and suddenly killed the two of them, but I was also injured by them and couldn't move for a while, fortunately you happened to arrive at this time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. ”
Sun Lao Er listened to his words, and then his face eased slightly, and asked, "How long have those people from the Jiangnan Ming family gone?"
Mo Qizhong thought for a while and said, "It's not too long, this stone wall is very long, and they won't be able to come back for a while." ”
Sun Lao Er nodded and said, "Even so, we still can't stay here for a long time, just in case, let's enter it as soon as possible." ”
Ye Feng and Tang Da both nodded yes.
At the beginning of the Swallow Collection, they saw the power of these young elites secretly cultivated by the Jiangnan Ming family. Although only Ming Yulou was lucky enough to escape back at that time, they were facing top masters like Zhang Ruyi, the double knife Zhang Ruyi and Jiao Ke, the mountain splitting axe, who were beside the son of Heavenly Providence Lou Ji Wushuang.
And now Ye Feng and their team not only do not have such top masters, Mo Qizhong is also seriously injured, and there are even weak scholars like Xie Zhenliang who don't understand martial arts, and the skills of Sun Lao Er and Old Man Mei are unknown.
However, now there are more than ten elites of the Jiangnan Ming family, and once they meet, they are afraid that Ye Feng and they are not opponents at all, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
At this time, Tang Da hesitated for a moment and asked: "Senior, look at this stone wall, it is tall and strong, but I am afraid that the thickness must be more than one zhang, and the stone used is extremely hard. I just heard the seniors mention the passage to enter, and the juniors are curious, how did you use to break through this stone wall and successfully enter it?"
Sun Lao Er looked at Tang Da, shook his head and said, "No way." ”
Tang Da was stunned: "What?"
Sun Lao Er pointed to the high
"This stone wall is about five zhang thick, and the stone used is even harder than granite, and ordinary iron tools can only leave a white spot on it, and it cannot be moved at all. ”
Zhang Fat Man blinked and interjected, "You can use gunpowder to blow up the stone wall?"
Sun Lao Er glanced at him disdainfully, and said mockingly: "Good idea, it does save time and effort, but have you thought about it, how much gunpowder is needed to explode a five-zhang thick stone wall? ”
Zhang Fatzi knew that he was open-mouthed, and he was robbed by Sun Lao Er, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and stop talking.
Tang Daqi said: "So how did you get in back then?"
Sun Lao Er snorted and said: "Although we have no way to take this stone wall, fortunately, the ground under this stone wall is not stony, to talk about geotechnical excavation technology, my Guanzhong Lao Sun family is one of the best in the world, but it is not difficult to dig a passage under this stone wall." ”
After thirty horrors, he squatted down and groped at the base of the wall, brushing away a thick layer of floating soil on the ground, and suddenly reached out and pulled up a large straw mat, revealing a dark hole hidden underneath.
It turns out that this is the passage into it.
It's just hidden under this thick soil, if it weren't for the people who kept it secret since childhood, I'm afraid that others will find it difficult to find out that this is the entrance to the passage under their feet for a lifetime.
The entrance to this cave is not large, and it seems that it should not be spacious inside, and it is estimated that it can only accommodate one person to crawl forward.
Sun Lao Er looked back at Mo Qizhong and asked, "How is your health now?"
Mo Qizhong stood up suddenly, although he was still a little shaky, he stood very firmly, and replied, "No problem!"
Sun Lao Er nodded, his eyes swept around, but he stayed on Zhang Fatzi's body.
This hole is indeed a bit small, Zhang Fat looked at the black hole with some embarrassment, while stroking his round belly, and asked with a difficult face: "This, there will be no snakes in this, right?"
Sun Lao Er snorted and said, "If you're afraid, you can stay here." We don't have time to waste it here, and when the people from the Ming family come back, they will also find this hole, so we have to hurry. ”
After speaking, he tightened the big cloth bag on his back, and got into the hole first.
Hearing that the family was about to come back, and seeing everyone enter the cave one by one, Zhang Fatzi gritted his teeth with hatred and muttered: "Who is afraid?
As soon as he stomped his foot, he also got into the hole.
The cave is actually a bit wider than the entrance, and it is not so difficult to crawl.
Even so, when everyone climbed out of the passage and lit the torches again, the appearance of the fat man in front of them still made everyone laugh.
At this moment, I saw that the fat man was gray-headed, his whole body was covered with mud, and his clothes were worn out with a few holes, and he was sitting on the side panting dejectedly, like a round groundhog that had just come out of the hole.
Ye Feng didn't care about resting, he stood up with a torch, and seemed to check the surrounding scene.
They were clearly in a stone chamber in the center of which were filled with a variety of pottery, beautifully crafted, and the black lacquer color had not faded after so many years.
Legend has it that the First Emperor believed in the doctrine of "Five Virtues and the End of the Beginning" put forward by Zou Yanshuo, a Yin and Yang scholar of the Warring States Period, and believed that the source of all things in the world was the mutual growth and restraint of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It is said that the Yellow Emperor Detu, Xia Yu Demu, and Mu Qi won and conquered the soil, and established the Xia Dynasty; Shang Tang Dejin, Jin Kemu, established the Shang Dynasty; Zhou Wen Wang Dehuo, and Huo De Shengjin, thus established the Zhou Dynasty; instead of Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty must be water, and water can defeat fire, so the Great Qin of the Six Kingdoms and unified the world should be Deshui. Water is black, so the first emperor admired black all his life, and the utensils and even the dragon robe during his lifetime used the main color of black.
From this point of view, these black-lacquered pottery should be the burial objects in the mausoleum of the first emperor.
And this stone chamber should also be one of the places where the funerary goods are placed.
There was a mural carved on the stone wall on the side, Ye Feng took a closer look, it was a picture of a high city gate with a human head hanging on it, a majestic general under the city with thousands of troops and horses, and a big book on the banner behind him was the word "king".
Ye Feng looked at it for a long time and was puzzled, so he turned around and asked Zhang Fatzi.
Zhang Fatzi came to the mural with a pant, looked at it carefully for a while, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "This painting seems to be the rebellion of Cheng Jiao, the younger brother of Qin Wangzheng, who was executed. ”
Ye Feng didn't know this allusion, so Zhang Fatzi cleared his throat and said aloud proudly: "According to records, this Cheng Jiao is the half-brother of Qin Wangzheng, the youngest son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, and was named Chang'an Jun. In fact, he can be regarded as having some skills, and once sent an envoy to South Korea to force the king of Han to cede a hundred miles of land to the Qin State. ”
"But after all, he is the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang and a potential rival of Qin Wangzheng, so of course he will arouse suspicion. So later, Qin Wangzheng ordered his younger brother to bring an army to attack Zhao. ”
"This Chang'an Jun was originally a weak scholar, and it might be okay to make an envoy to argue, and if he was asked to lead his troops to fight, wouldn't he just let him go to death? So after Cheng Jiao arrived at this place in Tunliu, he rebelled against Qin and surrendered to Zhao, which is known as the Cheng Jiao Rebellion in history. ”
Later, Qin Wangzheng was furious and sent Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son to lead a large army to crusade, where would Cheng Jiao be an opponent, the army was defeated and the city was broken, and all the subordinates were beheaded because of the continuous sitting, and all the people in the city were exiled. ”
As for Cheng Jiao's fate, there are many theories, and some records say that he fled to Zhao State, was rewarded by King Zhao Mourning Xiang, and was also given a fief. And some records say that he was actually caught by Wang Jian and his son, and Qin Wangzheng ordered his head to be hung at the city gate for public display. ”
But judging from the scene depicted on this mural, the latter statement may be true. Thinking about it, it was surrounded by the Qin army, the city was broken, and all of Cheng Jiao's subordinates were killed, so he ran away by himself, which is really unlikely. ”
After listening to Zhang Fatzi's narration, everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for the younger brother of the first emperor, who was originally a promising talent, first forced to rebel, and then killed, maybe this was a conspiracy from beginning to end, but the origin was precisely because he was the brother of King Qin and had the qualifications to ascend the throne.
It seems that there is no family affection in politics.
Just when everyone felt sorry for Cheng Jiao, suddenly, the ground shook faintly, and even the pottery on the ground crackled and jumped, and everyone heard a dull and long sound.
But it all passed quickly, and the surroundings returned to their previous calm, as if nothing had happened.
It was exactly the same as what they had encountered in the dungeon before, except that when they heard it from a distance, now it seemed to come from beneath their feet, deep beneath the stone chamber.
Fat Zhang's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a panic, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Is it an earthquake? Will we die?"
No one could answer his question, and everyone turned their eyes to Sun Lao Er and Mo Qizhong on the side, after all, they were the only ones who had entered here twenty years ago.
Sun Lao Er shook his head and said, "Don't worry, in this, such a situation often happens, although I don't know what the reason is, but it is definitely not an earthquake, and there seems to be no danger." ”
After listening to his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Da asked Sun Lao Er: "So senior, what should we do next? What is the secret in this mausoleum?"
Sun Lao Er shook his head unexpectedly and said, "I don't know. ”
Everyone was stunned, how could they not know? Didn't you come here twenty years ago?
Sun Lao Er looked at everyone's reaction, knowing that everyone didn't believe it, he glanced at Mo Qizhong helplessly, and then said slowly: "That's because, twenty years ago, we ended here, and there was no way to get out at all!"
