Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 75 The Dust Has Settled
Meng Ying, Lou Chu and others chased after each other, and when they arrived at the gate of the underground palace, Gongzi Zhuang hurriedly inserted the key into the trap hole, and with a strong turn, the door creaked open. The mother and son, Wu Huo, Meng Shuo and others hurriedly hid in the underground palace, and then closed the door. The remaining Gongzi Zhuang's men outside saw that the general situation was gone, so they had to drop their weapons and surrender one by one.
Meng Ying and Lou slowly looked at the gate of the underground palace, although it was a stone gate, it was very heavy, and they knew that it could not be opened without a key.
"Tonight's events must not be left until tomorrow!" Lou said to Meng Ying.
"This door can't be smashed!" Meng Ying said.
"It's okay! I have a way!" Lou Xuan is a master of the upper and lower classes, so he naturally has a way.
When Meng Ying heard this, he didn't know what he could do, so he asked:
"What's the solution?"
"Quench the cracked stone!" Lou said slowly.
"That's a good idea!
The soldiers were divided into three ways, Song Heng led people to fetch water from the tank, Deng hoe went to find cracked stone iron tools, and Meng Ying and Lou Xuan instructed their men to make a fire to bake the gate inside.
The fire barbecued on the stone gate of the underground palace for half an hour, and the people who ordered the building to immediately splash the water on it, and after a sneering sound, Meng Ying couldn't wait to clean up the garbage, picked up the hammer and smashed it against the gate.
There was a loud bang, and Meng Ying only felt that his arms were numb from the shock, but fortunately he had already wrapped a thick layer of cloth on the handle of the hammer. Meng Ying stretched out her numb arm, didn't look at the stone gate, picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it several times in a row. Stone chips flew everywhere, and several people in front of them were splashed in the face by the stone chips and went straight back. Meng Ying felt that the stone gate had been loosened, and shouted:
"Get out of the way!"
He also took a few steps back, took a deep breath, gathered his strength in his arms, picked up the sledgehammer and shook it a few times, and suddenly turned around, and the sledgehammer broke away and smashed towards the stone gate.
With a loud bang, the stone gate was smashed out of a hole by the hammer thrown out. Gongzizhuang and the others heard the loud sound of slamming the door inside, and they were already so frightened that their legs were weak, and their souls were no longer possessed.
Seeing that the stone gate was smashed into a hole, Mrs. Wei's mother and son hurriedly fled with everyone to the depths of the underground palace. Meng Ying and the others then entered the underground palace with torches, and found that the inside of this underground palace was terrifyingly large, like a labyrinth, with endless and headless.
When Shang Ying built Xianyang City, he built such a huge underground palace, and no one knows the reason for this. Although no one has lived in the underground palace for a long time, it has always been cleaned and guarded, so there are oil lamps on many passages. The underground palace was built under the royal palace, and naturally had the function of emergency escape, but how could Mrs. Wei's mother and son think that they could have today? This underground palace has a complex structure, and there are many mechanisms inside, even if they have the construction plan of the underground palace in hand, if they are not proficient in the mysteries of the organs, it will be in vain.
Meng Ying and Lou Huan's people chased and killed inside for more than an hour, and then no one knew where it was, just chased and killed indiscriminately. After a fierce pursuit, Mrs. Wei held her son's hand tightly and fled to the dark depths of the underground palace under the protection of Wu Xu, Ren Wei and Meng Shuo.
Several people hid in an unlit corner, and the sound of shouting and killing reached Mrs. Wei's ears, and she was so frightened that she curled up in a ball. Several disciples of the Mo family passed by with torches, and Mrs. Wei suddenly screamed in fright, and the children of the Mo family killed them when they saw this.
In the darkness, the torch fell to the ground, and the two sides fought wildly for a while, and with the faint light, Meng Shuo brandished two sledgehammers with both hands and smashed them towards one of the Mo family disciples. The Mo family disciple flashed, and the sledgehammer smashed against the wall, and with a muffled sound, the wall loosened. Meng said that he had great strength, and the two hammers he used weighed more than 100 catties, and at this time it was time to be desperate, just blindly smashing and beating without any scruples. The large axes and crescent shovels used by Wu Yu and Ren Wei were not light, and they kept hitting the walls in the melee.
The walls in the dungeon were originally divided into virtual and real, the dungeon was underground, invaded by moisture, and built forty or fifty years ago, where could the virtual wall withstand such a round of bombardment, more and more loose. In the darkness, Wu Yu and a Mo family kid scuffled together, due to the small space, the bodies of the two kept hitting the wall, and the wall finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it collapsed with a bang.
A few people didn't care about the doubts in their hearts, and they fought from the outside to the inside, and there was another fierce fight. The martial arts of the Mo family are not weak, and a few of them are not idle, the two sides fought for a while, and a few catchers heard the sound and chased after them and joined the battle. Meng said that he danced the hammer with both hands, and suddenly the sledgehammer came out of his hand and threw it at one of the Mo family disciples. The Mo family disciple hurriedly flashed, and the sledgehammer flew past him, and with a bang, it hit a secret door. Almost at the same time, when the Mo family disciple dodged, he touched a stone box, touched the mechanism, and countless sharp arrows flew out from all directions, killing all the fierce battles.
When Mrs. Wei's mother and son were lying in the aisle, at a loss, they suddenly heard a burst of arrows, and then everything fell silent. When the two were puzzled, Gongzi Zhuang was suddenly startled and said in a low voice:
"There's light!"
When Mrs. Wei looked at it, there was a faint bright light in front of her, although the bright light was not obvious, but it was obvious in the darkness that it was a natural light. The two got up and looked inside, and saw a hole in the wall in front of them, from where the light was coming from. It turned out that the hammer thrown by Meng Shuo hit a stone gate and smashed a hole in the stone gate. The mother and son plucked up their courage and walked over slowly, Gongzi Zhuang picked up the hammer and knocked the hole bigger, stretched out his head and looked out, it was a bright palace.
From time to time, the shouts of the enemy were heard in the distance, and the mother and son got out of the hole, and Gongzi Zhuang took the sledgehammer in his hand. After walking a few steps, Gongzizhuang felt that something was wrong, turned around and took off his coat, covering the entrance of the cave and blocking the light.
This stone door was originally opened from the outside in, with a mechanism and bait inside, and it was a dead door, but now they opened it from the inside out, and instead became a living door. The stone box that the Mo family disciple inadvertently touched was the bait to open the mechanism, and it was also the last trap, but I didn't expect it to be inadvertently disturbed by them. Shang Ying, who built the underground palace, set up a lot of traps when outsiders entered the main hall, and also arranged this bait after entering, but he never dreamed that someone would smash the wall in this way, and did the opposite, avoiding the traps he set up. There were so many walls in the underground palace, how could he have thought that someone would hit this void wall in such a devastating way?
The light brought some relief to the mother and son in distress, and after a brief rest, they began to look around the temple, but found nothing. In a fit of anger, Gongzi Zhuang threw the hammer in his hand, and after a loud bang, he only heard a creaking sound, and a dark grid slowly opened.
"Mother, come here!" Gongzi Zhuang suddenly exclaimed.
Mrs. Wei came over and saw a keyhole in the secret compartment, so she immediately asked her son:
"Do you still have the key?"
"It's here!" Gongzi Zhuang immediately took out the key to the gate of the dungeon.
"Give it a try!"
"Are you sure you want to try? Mother!"
"Why don't you try, let's try!"
Gongzizhuang inserted the key into the hole, and found that it was just right, so he looked at Mrs. Wei, turned hard, and a secret door slowly opened. The two of them looked inside, and it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything.
The two of them were afraid of traps and didn't dare to enter rashly, and when they saw that it was gloomy and dark, they didn't think it was like a survival passage, so they sat at the door and sighed.
"Instead of sitting and waiting to die, why don't you go down and have a look!" Gongzi Zhuang thought to himself, so he got up and drilled out of the hole in the stone door just now, and found a torch that was about to be extinguished by the faint light.
Gongzizhuang carefully blew the torch in his hand, picked up two more torches that had been extinguished, and felt lucky, so he drilled back again, still covering the hole with his clothes to prevent the bright light from penetrating and being discovered.
When Mrs. Wei saw her son come back with a torch, she also felt that it was a blessing in misfortune and rekindled her hope for survival. The two of them entered the secret door and found that there were stone steps leading to the ground, so they slowly walked down one step at a time. It was when they were nervous, and the two of them didn't know how many stone steps they had walked, and they suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.
When he was in a state of flux, suddenly a few reflections flickered, and a small crystal stone ball appeared in front of him. The two of them looked at it, and a small pool appeared in front of them, and there was a stone in the center of the pool, and the crystal ball was on top of the stone.
The two of them were surprised in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, not knowing what year and month, and who arranged all this in front of them.
In the midst of his astonishment, Gongzizhuang noticed that the light was getting weaker and weaker, so he picked up another torch and overdone it. The two of them knew in their hearts that there was not much time left for them to think, and in this situation, whether it was a treasure in front of them or not, what kind of treasure it was, only what could save their lives could be called a treasure.
Mrs. Wei naturally couldn't let her son get into danger, so she was the first to wade through the pond and walked over. She stood on the stone and looked at her son, and when she saw that nothing was wrong, she cried out with joy:
"Son, come here!"
Gongzi Zhuang immediately walked over, took a torch and looked at the crystal ball, and found that there was a snake in the transparent hollow stone ball. The serpent saw the firelight, and suddenly swam away, staring at the two of them.
The two of them were speechless, it turned out that they had only seen a snake with all their efforts! Who had gone to such great lengths to do so much for this snake? Could this be a divine snake? But in any case, this must be a snake that is not simple, and both of them thought so in their hearts.
"Mother, you take it!" Gongzi Zhuang handed the torch to Mrs. Wei, and tried the weight of the crystal ball with his free hand, but found that it was not heavy.
"Let's go over!" Gongzi Zhuang said to his mother as he held the stone ball on his chest.
The two of them came over again, put the crystal ball in front of them, looked at it carefully, and found that the snake was black all over, and seemed to be alive and well.
"Mother has been in the palace for decades, have you ever heard my father or anyone mention this snake?"
"No!" Mrs. Wei shook her head.
"It's weird!"
"Don't say it's this snake, I'm afraid that few people know about this place!"
"Did you say my father knew about it?"
"I don't know! I don't think even he knows!"
"How could my father not know?" said Gongzizhuang.
"If your father knows, the son must know, and how can I not know anything!"
"Yes, I heard that this palace city was built by Shang Ying, is it his design?"
"All this must have existed since then, I think Shang Ying should know!"
"If that's the case, this snake can survive for fifty years without eating or drinking, what is it if it's not a divine snake?" Gongzi Zhuang guessed.
"The fire is about to go out, go up!" Mrs. Wei sighed, thinking that if it was really a divine snake, she would save the lives of my mother and son!
Gongzi Zhuang held the transparent crystal ball, and the two of them went up the stone steps step by step, and returned to the main hall, and the torch was just extinguished.
"Where does the light come from in this palace below?" Gongzi Zhuang wondered.
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she also felt strange, and the two looked up, and found that the light came through a few small holes above, and found nothing else, so they sat without saying a word, and after a while, Gongzizhuang fell asleep.
Mrs. Wei thought about the past, sorrow came from it, hatred went crazy, and suddenly she fell asleep and sat still.
Meng Ying and Lou slowly exterminated all the henchmen of Mrs. Wei's mother and son, but they didn't see whether the mother and son were dead or alive, and while letting people guard the gate of the underground palace and continue to search in the underground palace, they sent someone to inform Mi Yue and Empress Yi.
After learning of the situation, Lizi mobilized the Praetorian Guards overnight, accompanied by Mi Yue and Empress Yi, and went to the palace hall with Huang Lizi, preparing to enter the underground palace to search.
Zhu Lizi ordered someone to take the construction map of the underground palace, compared the palace map, sent people to search one by one, and at the same time carefully studied the underground palace map that he had seen and that his brother had always suspected. He had ordered the Yellow Viper to secretly inspect the royal city, but the Yellow Viper did not find anything. Originally, he wanted to ask King Qin Wu to open the underground palace for Huang Xuan to inspect, but because he had a bad relationship with King Qin Wu, he never brought it up. Now that Mrs. Wei's mother and son have disappeared in the underground palace, his suspicions in the underground palace have increased even more, so he took Huang Zhen to see what was going on.
For a while, the dungeon was brightly lit, and there were people holding torches in almost every passage, and the soldiers soon discovered the burial places of Wu Shu and Meng Shuo, as well as the hole in the stone door, and Gongzi Zhuang's clothes covering the entrance of the cave. Following the clues, a Praetorian Guard leader went in and found the bodies of Lady Wei and Gongzi Zhuang, so he immediately sent someone to inform Lizi.
Lizi and Mi Yue and others hurriedly rushed to the scene, only to see Mrs. Wei's mother and son each lying on the side, breathless, and already dead. Seeing a crystal ball rolling beside Gongzi Zhuang, he bent down to take a closer look, and found that there was a hole in the crystal ball, and a crystal plug of the same shape and size as the hole was next to it, and he was shocked, not knowing what happened.
"Prime Minister, the last general has discovered an underground dark room, and there it is!" said a Praetorian Guard leader, pointing to the secret door.
Hearing this, he walked over, and sure enough, he found a dark room, and the soldiers had lit torches to light the way, waiting for him to go down and check it.
Riko motioned for the others to stay and went down to the dark room alone. At the bottom of the dark room, she took a closer look and noticed that something seemed to be missing from the stone in the pool, and thought that maybe it was the strange crystal ball. Looking at everything in front of him, he was very surprised and puzzled, remembering his brother's suspicions before, so he said to the soldier beside him:
"Go and call Huang Wei and Mrs. Mi!"
The two of them immediately went to the bottom, looking at all this in front of them, they were very shocked, they couldn't imagine that under this high-sounding palace hall, such an unknown secret was hidden, but for a while, they couldn't tell what this secret was?
"That crystal ball should be there!" said Lizi.
Mi Yue nodded and said to Lizi:
"The crystal ball is hollow, and there is something in it, has the prime minister noticed it?"
Lizi nodded silently, and Mi Yue said again:
"I wonder if the Holy King knows about this place?"
"He doesn't know!" said Lizi, and then added:
"Only one person knows here!"
Mi Yue didn't know what she meant, and suddenly said:
"I'm afraid that the crystal ball is not an ordinary thing!"
Lizi looked at her, and when the two of them looked at each other, they seemed to have something to say, so they said:
"Let's go up and have a look!"
Everyone looked at it, and the yellow viper came over and said to Lizi:
"Can the prime minister let me take a look at the map of the underground palace again?"
After hearing this, Lizi took out the atlas and ordered someone to light a torch for the yellow pit to see. Huang Lizi looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Lizi:
"There is no such thing as a map here!"
Lizi nodded, and Huang Zi said again:
"I mean the entire hall doesn't exist on the map, not just the underground chamber!"
"What did you find?" said Saoriko.
"Prime Minister, come with me!" Huang Xuan said and led Lizi and Miyue around the dungeon, pointing and pointing, and said:
"The construction of this palace is secretly combined with the nine palace gossip, but also the art of life and death, although the pit can't understand the mystery, but Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and the four elephants are divided into yin and yang, this is the simplest truth!
"Since there is something hidden, there must be a secret mechanism, this is also the head of your Mo family, you can take a look!"
While they were talking, they came to a large hall, and the yellow viper looked around, and suddenly walked next to a stone lion, reached out to the lion's mouth and touched it.
She only heard a few creaks, and a crack opened in one of the walls, revealing a passageway. As she was about to move forward, the yellow viper suddenly shouted:
"No!
Lizi was startled, and listened to Huang Lizi say again:
"There must be a lot of organs inside, nine deaths and one life, and the prime minister cannot move forward!"
"How so?"
"In this underground palace, except for the places that are seen with the clear eyes, the places that cannot be seen are extremely dangerous, and there is only one way to live!"
"Why was her mother and son safe and sound enough to break into the basement?"
"Didn't the prime minister see the wall that was knocked down? It must have been knocked down inadvertently during the fierce battle, so he accidentally knocked the door of death into a trap door!"
"Why is there so many secrets in the underground, and why does my brother Wang not know, and what is the purpose of Shang Ying setting up such a heavy organ under the royal palace?"
"There must be a great secret hidden here!" Mi Yue said.
"I'm afraid there's more to the secret than I discovered today!" said Huang Xuan.
"Oh, and the secret?" said Saoriko in surprise.
"The person who built this palace is a genius! There must be a master behind Shang Ying!" Huang Xuan said.
"Shang Ying is a student of Guiguzi, and the ancestor of Xuanmen, the Nine Heavens Xuannu, is his uncle, so naturally there are masters to guide him!"
"That makes sense!" said Huang Zi, as if he had realized.
"What do you think is inside the crystal ball above the underground pool?" asked Satsuki suddenly.
"I can't be sure, but I heard that there are underground water sources in the underground palaces I saw in the Heishui Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom in the past, all of them are gloomy and dark, and the scene seems to be the same as what I see today!" Miyue said.
"Oh, you make it clear!"
"I suspect that the contents may have something to do with the Ghost King Yuanxiang!" Mi Yue said.
"Ghost King Yuanxiang?" said Riko.
"Yes, I do doubt it!, but I don't know what the Ghost King Yuan Xiang is!" Mi Yue said.
"What would have happened if it was as you said?" asked Satoko.
"I don't know! If Qingyuan Daoist is here, he will definitely be able to identify it!" replied Mi Yue.
"Then invite him to come and see?" said Saoriko.
"It's a pity that the contents are gone, otherwise he would have been able to say a thing or two!" Mi Yue said.
Everyone had no sleep all night, and it was already dawn when they left the underground palace. Lizi, Mi Yue, Yi Hou and others returned to their respective residences, briefly freshened up, and hurriedly used some early to prepare to enter the court to deal with major events.
The rebellion in the palace seemed to spread throughout Xianyang City overnight, and the ministers who had entered the court rushed to tell each other, whispering, and discussing who the flowers were now.
After a bloody bath, the palace hall was restored to its original state, and it seemed peaceful and serene in the morning light. The sound of birds flying over the roof was as crisp and pleasant as ever, and the scent of flowers in the wind with a slight chill was still refreshing. The ministers entered the main hall, and a child rubbed his sleepy eyes, took his mother's warm hand and ascended the steps, entered the palace, and sat down tremblingly until he reached the throne, which symbolized the pinnacle of power.
With the support of Lizi, Gongzi ascended the throne as king, and he was twelve years old this year. In 306 B.C., Yingji completed the enthronement ceremony and was officially crowned king, and later generations called him King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
Soon after Yingji ascended the throne, Mi Yue called herself the "Queen Mother", becoming the first woman in Chinese history to be called the Queen Mother, grasping the real power of the Qin State and beginning to govern the dynasty. The world often does not depend on the will of the people, deliberately planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade! Becoming a king and defeating a villain, and the country changing hands, these major events are just a game in the eyes of the charming lord Miyue!
