Chapter 1: The Underworld
What was the real Qin Empire like? In the eyes of the world, it was powerful and mysterious, and Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor of China through the ages.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that he has left in the world has aroused the curiosity of countless people, what is it like? If Qin Lan were asked to answer this question, he would say that the mystery of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is as unpredictable as the Qin Empire more than 2,000 years ago.
In the process of going deep into the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there are all kinds of traps along the way, including bows and crossbows, and even more in some tunnels, there are all kinds of poisonous insects living in them. These poisonous insects have multiplied in the dark tomb of the Qin Emperor for two thousand years, and if they are accidentally injured, it is basically over, and modern medical methods will not treat them at all.
What's even more infuriating is that the approximate range of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that they have detected is just another doubtful tomb, the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is indeed the place where their experts speculated, but the depth of its existence is beyond Qin Lan's expectations.
The traps they've experienced that can keep all the grave robbers on Earth at bay are just suspicious. If Zuo Yu hadn't discovered some clues, they would have wasted more time searching for the so-called "Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor", which is absolutely infallible.
Qin Lan didn't know how many times he had scolded those old guys in the Wind Department, if it weren't for him and Yuan Cheng desperately protecting them, the future successor of their Wind Department would have been replaced.
Qin Lan knew that in a dangerous place like the ancient tomb, once they relaxed their vigilance, what awaited them would be a catastrophe, even if he and Yuan were superb. What's more, they also have a Zuo Yu who has no self-protection ability at all.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is usually spoiled by those old men, but she was sent to such a dangerous place at a critical moment. Although Qin Lan was reluctant in every way, he had to admit that Zuo Yu was much better than anyone he had ever seen in terms of his ability to identify ancient cultures.
In this Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which has almost poured the power of the Qin Empire into the whole country, this little girl has found out the real location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang with her profound skills, and they are now at one of the entrances.
The depth of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is as staggering as the mystery it hides more than 2,000 years ago, and they have been walking through the gap between the mountains for more than seven hours, although it is not a vertical depth, but the increasingly oppressive feeling around it makes people almost breathless. If it weren't for the fact that there would be things from the Qin Dynasty at that time at a distance, Qin Lan would have begun to doubt Zuo Yu's judgment, after all, the magnificent and huge underground palace above his head was more like the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
"Seal the great evil here, and those who see it die!" It turns out that manpower is still limited, and no matter how powerful the Qin Empire is, it is impossible to endlessly act recklessly in the depths of the earth. A huge stone tablet stood in front of the three of them, and the eight blood-colored characters still exuded an endless evil aura despite the passage of more than two thousand years, which was terrifying.
"There is no road ahead, what will be behind the stone monument. Yuan Cheng lowered his voice and said, as if he was afraid of disturbing something here. What could be the great evil on the stele? A wicked man who kills like a hemp or something else, more than 2,000 years later, is this so-called great evil still here?
"Those people in the wind department just said that they got the news that a group of ninjas smuggled from Japan came to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to pick up something, and they don't know any more, no matter what is behind it, we must bring it back. Qin Lan stroked this stele, he had an illusion, he felt that this stele was vibrating regularly, like, heartbeat!
Qin Lan hurriedly left his hand from this strange stone tablet, how could a stone have a heartbeat?
"This stele has a strange ......" But before Qin Lan finished speaking, the stele in front of her shook violently, and Zuo Yu on the side looked innocently at the stone in her hand, that was the only thing on this stele that she felt incongruous, but she seemed to be in trouble!
"I said that you only look at it and don't touch it, I'll go back and let those stinky old ghosts teach you a lesson!" Qin Lan also discovered Zuo Yu's small movements, and along the way, she was embarrassed by the organs because of her bumping around, and later he made a special appointment with her for three chapters, he was just distracted for a while, just for a while......
The changes of the stele come and go quickly, and the stele itself is also a mechanism. It is more like a gateway to the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, because the huge stone monument that was originally blocking the road is now cracked into regular four pieces, and a pitch-black corridor behind it is revealed.
Along with the appearance of the corridor there is also a bronze coffin, the bronze coffin fell in the corridor, blocking the entrance of the corridor, the huge stone tablet is more like a coffin wrapped around it. The "great evil" that had been sleeping for more than 2,000 years finally appeared in front of Qin Lan and them, was that heartbeat its sound?
Qin Lan and the three of them stood in place and didn't dare to move, but there were no other changes after the bronze coffin appeared. Qin Lan and Yuan Cheng glanced at each other, if they wanted to pass from now on, then this huge evil really couldn't be bypassed.
The two tacitly took out a set of hook claws, in order to prevent any mechanism on the bronze coffin, the two fixed the hook claws and then pulled one end respectively, and then slowly pulled it out of the corridor.
The sound of metal grinding resounded through this enclosed, dark space, making teeth chatter. I don't know if it's an illusion, as if something ancient is awakening, and the strange thing is that the three people present are not aware of it at all.
"Bang!" The coffin lid fell off the ground, and an unknown fragrant fragrance instantly filled the place, and the fatigue on Qin Lan's three bodies seemed to have been dispelled a lot because of this aroma. If it weren't for the fact that they knew that this was the dangerous Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and that there was an open bronze coffin lying in front of it, they would have been waiting to stop here forever, and the fragrance seemed to be addictive to the soul.
At that moment, a slick arm came out of the coffin and rested on the edge of the coffin. Then there was another, and then a man with a whole body sat up from inside the coffin, the Qin Dynasty was a great evil!
This scene was caught off guard, and the throats that Qin Lan and the three of them had mentioned when they were on the ground were about to jump out.
Qin Lan and the three of them suppressed the fear in their hearts and slowly retreated, and the strange man in front of them seemed to be a little delirious. He stared blankly at his hands, then looked around again. It doesn't seem like he knows where he is, or who he is.
"Do you have clothes, it doesn't seem very proper. He spoke very abruptly, not to fight, but in a very ordinary tone, or even just casual among old friends.
Qin Lan and the three of them didn't dare to act rashly, anyone who encountered such a thing as "cheating corpses" in such a dark and oppressive environment, they were already extremely psychologically strong if they were able to escape without embarrassment.
The three of them exchanged glances briefly, Yuan Cheng quietly put his hand on the handle of the gun on his waist, no matter whether the thing in this coffin was a person or a ghost, as long as there was any movement, he would beat him into a sieve in an instant!
Qin Lan slowly stepped forward, took out the spare camouflage from the backpack, and gently placed it in front of the mysterious man. He could see that the "person" who suddenly appeared from the coffin seemed to be communicative. And he doesn't seem to be hostile, but maybe he doesn't take them seriously at all.
It all happened so fast that they didn't even have time to think about how a person could crawl out of the bronze coffin. Everything here has been sealed for 2,000 years, who can live without eating or drinking for 2,000 years?
If he is so powerful, who is it that seals him in this bottomless mausoleum?
After the mysterious man got dressed, he didn't hurt Qin Lan and the three of them, but just turned around and walked into the corridor behind the stone stele. Qin Lan and the three of them looked at each other, this great evil was inevitably too gentle.
And although there was no sluggishness in his eyes, he was still very confused. He seemed to have an inexplicable familiarity with the place, but he couldn't think of anything.
It seemed that going to the depths of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was just his instinctive move, and after a little thought, Qin Lan decided to follow this mysterious man, and the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum became more and more weird.
The road was not very long, and they soon came to an underground space as wide as the fake imperial mausoleum above their heads, and what appeared in front of them was the real Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!
The mysterious man stopped not far from Qin Lan and the others, and a river reflecting silver light appeared in front of them. Legend has it that rivers and lakes were built with a large amount of mercury in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but he did not expect that Qin Shi Huang used them to build something similar to a moat.
In the middle of this moat made of mercury is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, a pyramid-like building located on a small island in the middle of the moat, Qin Lan visually observed that the pyramid was as high as a thirty-story building, and each floor was filled with soldiers wearing Qin Dynasty armor, densely packed with hundreds of thousands of people!
At the top of the pyramid was a huge black throne, and a faint figure sat there. There is no jewels, some are just the invincible momentum of the Qin Empire, and some are the killing aura that can sweep the entire vast land!
Eight huge stone bridges connect the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to the world beyond it, and there is no other way to get there. But just as Qin Lan and the others were about to make a move, a group of Japanese ninjas appeared in their field of vision, that group of Japanese ninjas!
The whereabouts of Qin Lan and the four of them were also discovered by those people, and on one of the stone bridges, a man dressed in white looked very abrupt in a group of ninjas in black power suits, and he also gave Qin Lan a middle finger to them.
"This bastard!" Yuan Cheng's temper came up all of a sudden, if it weren't for the range of the pistol that couldn't reach him, Yuan Cheng would have beaten that person into a sieve right now!
The group of Japanese ninjas had already reached the middle of the stone bridge, but at this moment, a shocking change suddenly appeared. A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the calm and waveless water galaxy, and everyone on the bridge was in shock, and a huge head rushed out of the whirlpool!
The huge black shadow rushed straight towards the group of ninjas, and only then did Qin Lan see that the huge black shadow was actually a legendary dragon! This dragon was pitch black, and the scales and claws on its body exuded a cold light.
Murderous, this is the legendary Tengshui Black Dragon!
