Chapter 54: The Underworld, the Secret of the Ancient Bronze Tree
The Eastern Emperor is becoming more and more curious about this world, this world is not as simple as it seems, and many secrets are buried underground.
Huangquan Road is very long, the three of them walked along the Huangquan Road for nearly two hours, and still did not come to the end, with the footsteps of the three people, two hours, how to say that there are more than 50 miles of road. If there was no Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling and the Eastern Emperor would have moved faster.
"Did you hear anything?"
At a certain moment, Donghuang suddenly stopped, listened carefully, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, like the sound of flowing water.
"There's no sound. ”
Zhang Qiling frowned slightly, "If there is nothing, it is like the sound of running water." ”
A quarter of an hour later, a hundred and ten meters wide river appeared in front of the three of them, and the sound of the water came from there.
"It's ......"
"Weak River?"
According to ancient legends, outside the underworld, there is a river, called the weak water river, this river does not know where it starts, nor does it know where it ends, it is said that this river is difficult to be fairy, and the goose feathers do not float......
The three of them walked to the river, only to see that the river had dried up, and only a small stream of water was gurgling, but the breath that came to their faces made people unable to calm down for a long time.
"Is it really a weak river?"
Zhang Qiling was very calm, he seemed to remember something, and said, "That's right, this is the weak water river!"
As the longest-living person in this world, Zhang Qiling knows significantly more things than ordinary people, he is an old antique, but because his memory will be lost every time he enters the bronze door, Zhang Qiling goes back and forth to various tombs to find his own memories.
"Doesn't that mean that after crossing the weak water river, it is the underworld, the eighteenth layer of hell in the underworld?"
His eyes were like torches, and after crossing the weak water river, the Eastern Emperor looked at a ruin, the underworld no longer existed, and some were just ruins.
Wu Xie looked around left and right, and said, "How do we get there, are we going to find the Nai He Bridge, only the Nai He Bridge can pass through the weak water river." ”
Donghuang said: "No, the weak water river has dried up, let's go down directly." ”
"Ahh
With that, the Eastern Emperor volleyed down.
"Let's go, let's go down too!" Zhang Qiling grabbed Wu Xie's waist and jumped down.
In the river, there are rocks, and unknown black stones, sharp as a front, are inserted upside down at the bottom of the river.
Whoa......
It is a small stream less than two meters wide.
"Is this weak water?"
Donghuang squatted down and took a handful of river water, which was very cool, "Ordinary underground river water, weak water river has dried up, there is not a drop of weak water here, otherwise we would not be able to stand here!"
In addition to rocks, there are also dry bones everywhere in the river.
"Let's go, there's no clue here. ”
Ten minutes later, the three of them crossed the dry river of weak water, and appeared in the midst of ruins, broken walls, dim and dark, black sand rolling, a scene of apocalypse. All that can be seen is the remnants of the ruins, and nothing else.
Wu Xie looked left and right, and said, "Legend has it that the underworld is a world of its own, but I don't think this is another world?"
"Actually, this is not the underworld, it is just the entrance to the underworld, and the real underworld may have been annihilated......"
The Eastern Emperor had a guess that there were originally immortals and underworlds in this world, but for some reason, the immortals disappeared and there was no shadow in the underworld, maybe those immortals had left this world.
So much so that now the world has been reduced to an ordinary world.
The three of them each searched some places and found nothing, but at the other end, a few thousand meters away, they found a bridge, a stone bridge.
"Nai He Bridge, is it Nai He Bridge?" Wu Xie was very excited and immediately ran over.
"It's Nai Ho Bridge!"
The stone bridge is ordinary, not unlike the one you usually see in the village.
"Little brother, have you been here before?"
Zhang Qiling had already remembered something, and some familiar images flashed in his mind from time to time, "It should have been...... But I can't think of anything......"
Walking on the Nai He Bridge, there is no Meng Po, no Meng Po soup, and no Sansheng Stone......
Donghuang looked very carefully, except for the abandoned masonry, there was nothing of value at all.
When the three returned to the starting point of Huangquan Road, it was already two hours later.
The eyes of the three of them were focused on the bronze tree again, the purpose of this trip was to find out the secret of the bronze tree, but there was no clue now.
Wu Xie looked at the bronze tree again and said, "So this bronze tree is a thing from the underworld?"
The Eastern Emperor shook his head, "The Bronze Tree is not a thing in the underworld!"
"Why?"
"Look at that!"
Donghuang pointed to the bottom of the bronze tree, before because of the Huangquan tree, the three of them ignored the roots of the bronze tree, but now when they took a closer look, they immediately found that it was unusual.
The three of them came to the bronze tree.
The bronze tree is rooted in the flat boulders, and at a glance it can be seen that it is the result of man-made.
Knock knock!
Wu Xie squatted on the ground and knocked the ground with his hand, and there was an echo.
"It's empty underneath. ”
"Looks like the secret is down there!"
Wu Xie suddenly said to the two of them, "Look at this. ”
There are grooves on the boulder, about two fingers wide, a total of nine, and finally converge into one. Such as a hundred rivers meet the sea.
"There are words here!"
There are words on the boulder, which are so small that if you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot.
"It's a small seal, which means that this bronze is very likely to be from the Qin Dynasty, little brother, do you know these words?"
Zhang Qiling nodded, he knew Xiao Seal, and he could say that he knew the words of any dynasty.
"What's written on it?"
Donghuang said: "What is written on this is some of the great achievements of the First Emperor!"
Wu Xie looked at Donghuang in surprise, "Do you also recognize Xiao Zhen?"
The Eastern Emperor nodded, because the Eastern Emperor had learned ink and wash in his previous life, so he had a considerable understanding of ancient characters.
After reading these seal inscriptions, at this moment, the Eastern Emperor can be sure that this place is definitely related to that one, and at this time, the Eastern Emperor thought of the clay figurine head he saw in the giant python's nest before, which was clearly the Terracotta Army!
Maybe the bronze tree was made by the one who made it.
Wu Xie also couldn't calm down: "Little brother, it won't be the First Emperor down here, right?"
An ordinary adventure trip, who would have thought that you could meet the First Emperor!
On the boulder, the Eastern Emperor found nine more characters, Ji, Xu, Yan, Qing, Yang, Jing, Liang, Yong, and Yu.
These nine characters are distributed all over the boulder, arranged according to the location of Kyushu in the world, Kyushu map!
What does Qin Shi Huang want to do?
If this is really his tomb, then the one in Lishan must be fake, why did he spend so much effort?
Is it to prevent people from discovering his tomb and to fear that future generations will rob the tomb?
The boulder is round and unified, and there is no mechanism or anything like that, so it is not so easy to open the boulder.
Wu Xie carefully investigated around the boulder, the boulder was tightly sealed, and there was no button for any mechanism, so he immediately called for help Zhang Qiling, "Little brother, have you found the mechanism?"
