Chapter 107: Terracotta Army
Ye Feng was originally standing under Fat Zhang and supporting his big ass, but this sudden fart almost didn't make him faint, so he quickly held his breath and let go of his hands to avoid the side.
Zhang Fat Man suddenly lost his support underneath, lost his balance all of a sudden, fell off the rope violently, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, so painful that he covered his butt and screamed again and again.
He angrily asked Ye Feng why he suddenly let go, and Ye Feng said with a look of disdain: "Who told you that this dead fat man has nothing to fart?"
Zhang Fatzi said with a face full of grievances: "People were nervous just now!"
On this side, after the little guy ate the king snake just now, he swaggered away, and everyone was unconsciously relieved at this time.
Tang Da asked Sun Lao Er a little strangely, "What was that thing just now, that it killed this king snake so easily?"
Sun Lao Er also seemed to be frightened, and he was stunned for a moment before replying: "It should be a gray meerkat, also known as a snake meerkat, which is the natural enemy of poisonous snakes, and likes to prey on poisonous snakes, rats and insects. ”
Then he frowned again and said: "However, I heard that this meerkat has only been seen in the border area of Yunnan, and it lives in groups of people, how can such a single one appear here? Moreover, the life span of the meerkat is only more than ten years, and the coat color is gray and yellow, like the one just now has turned white, I really don't know how many years it has lived, and how many times it has gone through to become like this, which is also a spectacle." ”
When the fat man on the side heard this, he was a little disapproving, pouted and said, "Since you haven't seen it yet, how can you understand it so clearly?"
Sun Lao Er smiled disapprovingly, and said: "My old Sun family has been engaged in this underground business for generations, of course, it is inevitable that you will often encounter some poisonous insects, rats and ants, so there is anything strange about knowing more about these?"
Zhang Fatzi was speechless, he was still a little apprehensive about the king snake just now, and couldn't help asking: "You said before that there are a lot of poisonous snakes down here, in addition to the one just now, there must be a lot more?"
Sun Lao Er shook his head, and seemed to feel a little surprised and said: "There were indeed many poisonous snakes here before, and there were many types, almost everywhere. But now there are king snakes that feed on poisonous snakes, and there are also gray meerkats, and it seems that these poisonous snakes must have been preyed upon. ”
Zhang Fatzi heard that there were poisonous snakes all over the ground, and he couldn't help but shudder all over his body when he remembered that scene.
Ye Feng was a little strange, and asked, "Why are there so many poisonous snakes here?"
Sun Lao Er pointed to the tall wall behind them and said, "Behind you is actually a huge high wall, which is also the outer wall of this underground palace. The north of this underground palace is not far from the water of the Wei River, the underground palace is dug so deep, and the river surface of the Wei River has formed a huge gap, it is bound to be flooded by the water of the Wei River, and in the process of excavation, there must have been a lot of underground water flow, the so-called three springs recorded in the history books about the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum underground palace, should be this meaning. ”
"Therefore, the craftsmen at that time used special materials to build this high wall, in order to isolate the water of the Wei River and the infiltration of groundwater from high to low, in order to ensure that there is no flood in this underground palace for thousands of years, such a huge project is extremely difficult to do today, how did the craftsmen at that time do it, it is really a miracle!"
He sighed and said, "This dungeon is isolated from floods, so it's not surprising that some snakes, insects, rats and ants in the vicinity have gathered here. ”
Among the people, only the Tang Gate in Shuzhong has some research on architecture, so Tang Da also felt the same after listening to Sun Laoer's discussion, and nodded incessantly.
Other people have heard about the drop in the water of the Wei River and the infiltration of groundwater, and they don't know why, anyway, they just know that this high wall is very powerful.
At this time, Ye Feng also understood why he found that there was no grass on this wall just now, and it was cold to the touch.
At this time, Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but jump out and sell the ink in his stomach: "It is recorded in the history books that when the First Emperor asked people to build the Great Wall, he once ordered all the soldiers and craftsmen to be divided into two teams, one team was responsible for construction, and the other team was responsible for supervising the work. ”
"After the wall is built, the team in charge of the overseer shoots at the wall with a bow and arrow, and if the arrow can ** the wall, then the wall must be torn down and rebuilt, and the team in charge of the construction will be killed and replaced by the team of the overseer. If the arrow can't be inserted, the team in charge of the construction will survive, and the team in charge of the overwatch will be killed. ”
Therefore, in order to survive at that time, no matter whether it was built or overseered, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest, and the Great Wall that was naturally built was extremely strong. Presumably, the same method was used in the construction of this place, which is why such a miracle was created. ”
When everyone heard this, they were not only amazed by Zhang Fatzi's extensive knowledge and knowledge, but also surprised by the brutal and harsh government of the first emperor back then.
Ye Feng looked at the second child in front of him, and affirmed his previous thoughts even more in his heart, this second child must have been here before!
He knew the terrain well, and knew that the place where they were standing had been infested with poisonous snakes before, and that there was no way anyone who had entered it for the first time would have known.
But for some reason, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, and he didn't say a word about the previous things, so Ye Feng couldn't open his mouth to ask.
At this moment, Xie Zhenliang, who had never spoken, unexpectedly opened his mouth and urged: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's hurry up and set off!"
Ye Feng glanced at Xie Zhenliang with some surprise, and was surprised in his heart.
In his impression, the second brother Xie Zhenliang, a weak scholar, has always been a chronic child, no matter what he does, he is orderly and unhurried, and now he is actually urging him, he seems to be quite anxious, very nervous about time, what is he nervous about?
Sun Lao Er heard Zhen Liang's words, but he thought so, and beckoned everyone to prepare to go.
The group carried torches and continued to move along the tall wall in the dark, and soon a stone wall appeared in front of them, which should be the inner palace wall.
Sun Lao Er seemed to be familiar with the way, holding a torch in front of the team to take the lead, and after walking for a short time, a tall palace gate appeared in front of everyone.
By the faint light of the torch in the hand, you can vaguely see the eaves of the underground palace gate carved building, which is grand and magnificent, and the momentum is extraordinary.
Legend has it that the underground palace of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was built in imitation of the Qin Imperial Palace at that time, and it seems that this is the palace gate of the imperial palace at that time, and everyone can't help but marvel.
There is no portal at the palace gate, and I don't know if there is no one or it has been broken, the portal is open, Sun Lao Er walked to the door without hesitation with a torch, everyone glanced at each other, and only followed closely.
Walking into the palace gate, it seems to be a square in front of you, and it is open.
At this time, I suddenly heard Zhang Fatzi's exclamation of "ah".
Everyone looked intently, only to see that on the square, there were many figures standing faintly, densely standing on both sides of the road, the light of the torches was faint, and it was impossible to see it for a while, I really don't know how many people there are!
How could there be so many army-like figures in this underground palace? Are these people ghosts? Could it be that the legend is true, and there are Yin soldiers guarding the tomb of the Qin Emperor?
Everyone's faces suddenly changed drastically, and they were silent.
The strange thing is that Sun Lao Er and Old Man Mei, who are at the forefront, seem to be ignorant of these people's movies and television, and they have no sense of surprise.
Feeling that the people behind them stopped, they turned around and looked at the people with frightened faces, Sun Lao Er couldn't help but sneer: "You are so daring, what kind of underground palace are you visiting?"
Zhang Fatzi heard his words, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only point to the figures on the side with his hand and say, "You, can't you see?"
Sun Lao Er turned his head to look at it, and said with some disdain: "That's it?"
With that, he raised his foot and kicked a stone out of his feet, and one of the figures immediately fell in response, but there was a faint clatter of broken terracotta.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and boldly stepped forward to take a closer look, and it turned out that the large overlapping figures were all pottery figurines.
These figurines appear to have been made of clay, each life-size figure, dressed in armor and hair, depicted in detail and lifelike.
They were supposed to be colored with paint, but they were old and peeled off, mottled to reveal the true color of the clay.
These figurines should all be sergeants, one by one or holding a sword, or holding a long ge, or drawing a bow and arrow, with different postures, or standing or kneeling, with different expressions, and from the one on the ground that was broken by the stone kicked out by Sun Laoer, it can be seen that these terracotta figurines are clearly hollow.
These terracotta figurines are numerous, neatly arranged in a phalanx on the square, which is clearly a magnificent military formation, as if waiting to be reviewed.
Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but reach out and touch the cold terracotta figurines in front of him, and exclaimed: "How did you make so many figurines?"
Sun Lao Er said coldly: "Is it much? This is just the tip of the iceberg." ”
Fat Zhang couldn't help but gasp: "Huh? Is there more?"
Sun Lao Er nodded and said: "According to the records, there are many burial chambers and burial pits in this underground palace, according to the central axis of the tomb in the ordinary mausoleum, there are only two tomb roads, and there are as many as five tomb roads here, and these terracotta warriors stand on both sides of each tomb road, it is said that the first emperor burned this huge number of terracotta warriors with his real soldiers as the prototype, in order to bring his invincible army to the underground world. ”
"It's a pity that after countless plunders over the years, especially a fire by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, these terracotta warriors and funeral goods were all seriously damaged, and most of them were destroyed in the fire. The burial path under our feet is the most well-preserved one, and it is also the most direct one to the central burial chamber. ”
Hearing what he said in such detail, Ye Feng finally couldn't help but ask: "The senior is so familiar with everything here, he knows everything well, it seems that he has been here before?"
Sun Lao Er stared at Ye Feng silently for a moment, then sighed and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, I will naturally tell you in a while." ”
Before the words fell, everyone suddenly felt the ground under their feet tremble, and there seemed to be a rumbling and dull sound in the depths of the underground palace, but soon, they regained their calm.
Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other without knowing what was going on.
Zhang Fatzi said with a pale face: "What's the matter? Didn't there be an earthquake?"
You know, everyone is now deep underground, and once the earthquake and the underground palace collapse, I am afraid that they will all die here.
Sun Lao Er shook his head and said, "If it is really an earthquake, I am afraid that we will all be doomed." It's just that how could an earthquake be so slight and pass so quickly?"
At this moment, Xie Zhenliang on the side said a puzzling sentence with a serious face: "Let's hurry up and go, there is not much time left." ”
