Chapter 58: The Fog of History

When the beam of the flashlight swept away the things in front of him, Ling Yunfeng had already opened his mouth wide in shock. In fact, long before him, the wild wolf and the golden steel wolf had already dropped their jaws there.

When Pepper and the group of experts packed up their belongings and dusted off the dirt on their bodies, they also stood there with wide eyes one by one.

Because what appeared before their eyes was an endless black complex of buildings. Well, it should be said that it is a ruined wall.

The nearest half of the earthen wall was only about 20 meters away, and when the light passed, they could only see patches of uneven blackening, and the original color of the soil could no longer be seen. The pile of ashes that was dumped next to it could be vaguely seen that it had been a watchtower or something.

When they crossed the not-so-high wall, they found themselves in a black hell. Because no matter which way you look, you can't see the end until the light of the flashlight is completely swallowed up by the black.

And all sorts of black devils, with claws and sharp teeth, are waiting for these people to enter its mouth.

Seeing the scene, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. Even Xiao Pepper, who had always been a man, couldn't help but move some steps towards Ling Yunfeng's side.

Of course, it was the historian Mr. Yuan who was the first to recover from the shock. I saw him first run two steps forward, then grab his hair again, and shout again.

At his shout, everyone recovered from the shock. In the end, he was the only one there shouting, "This is Xianyang City! He really moved Xianyang City underground!"

Being reminded by Teacher Yuan, everyone looked at the boundless black ruins in front of them again. Indeed, it was once a huge city. Why was it once and again? Because it was mercilessly burned.

Everyone sighed as they walked, and the streets could still be recognized. But because the buildings of the Qin period were all made of wood, once there was a fire, it could only get a piece of ashes. In addition to the half-buried wooden piles, only some of the earth and stone bases remain intact.

Lao Wu even grabbed a handful of black ash from a pile of buildings where he couldn't see anything, and muttered as he walked: "This should have been a long time ago, and these ashes have long been so hard that they are about to turn into coal." ”

When everyone heard this, they also grabbed the ashes on the ground, and they did not have the softness and delicacy when they had just turned into ashes. In my hand, there was only a rough and cold feeling like hard earth.

"Legend has it that there was a shepherd boy in the Han Dynasty who accidentally fell into a hole in the ground when he was looking for a lost sheep. Then he lit a torch to find a sheep, and accidentally set fire to this underground city. The fire burned for 90 days before it was extinguished, and at the same time burned the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to ashes. Teacher Yuan couldn't help but sigh and said.

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard it, but at this time, Lao Wu, who had been studying carbon ash, lost what he was doing, clapped his hands and said: "It's nonsense, no wonder I read history books and archaeology, the more I take the exam, the more confused I become!"

Yuan Tengkong's old face turned red, and he said wistfully: "This is indeed a wild historical legend, and there is indeed no record in the classics. But what about this underground Xianyang City in front of you, which has been reduced to ashes?"

"Have you forgotten Xiang Yu? If he can burn down the Afang Palace, he will be able to spare this Mausoleum of the First Emperor? With his military strength at that time, it is more than enough to destroy a mausoleum, right?" Lao Wu looked at Teacher Yuan's suffocated appearance, not to mention how happy he was.

At this time, the Qin forensic doctor, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Although I don't understand the history you are talking about, it should be Liu Bang who advanced Xianyang, right? And those warlords who dig up the imperial tombs, in addition to venting their personal anger, should be more for money, right? Therefore, I think Xiang Yu should not only vent his anger when he burned down Ah Fang and the imperial tombs, but also should cover up something......

"Yes, what Forensic Doctor Qin said is very reasonable. If Liu Bang took away all the treasures after entering Xianyang, and Xiang Yu came and found that he had left nothing for him, what would he do? But for the sake of treasure, Xiang Yu started the idea of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. This is also one of the charges of Xiang Yu contained in Liu Bang's text when he left Shu. Teacher Yuan finally found a reason to explain it again.

"History is written by the victors, although it is mentioned in the text that Xiang Yu robbed and excavated the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but there is no saying that the dungeon was burned. Liu Bang couldn't cover it up for him. Although the wild history records that Xiang Yu did steal and excavate the imperial tomb, but after a golden goose flew out of the local palace, Xiang Yu stopped continuing to steal and excavate, and this golden goose flew for hundreds of years and reappeared in the world. Of course, Jin Yan is not the point, the point is that Xiang Yu should really stop the theft and excavation, but just burn down the buildings on the ground of the imperial mausoleum. Otherwise, it is impossible for the history books to have no deeds of burning dungeons.

I have also heard of the wild history of the shepherd burning before, but that is talking about the Han Dynasty, that is to say, it is not the era of Chu and Han contention. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Xiang Yu to do it. The last few sentences were said by Lao Wu sonorously.

It's no wonder that he distinguishes between Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu has been regarded as the ancestor of some tomb robbing sects. And although it is unknown whether this old Wu is from this sect, at least he was a tomb robber.

Ling Yunfeng and the other Dragon Soul soldiers only felt a little big when they heard the experts arguing, so they put more energy on the vigilance of the surroundings.

"Unless this city was burned by Liu Bang, so he won't say it. And then something happened and he couldn't hide it anymore, so his descendants made up the shepherd's statement......" Forensic Doctor Qin interjected at the right time.

"Well, if that's the case, then it makes sense......" Teacher Yuan said thoughtfully as he touched his chin.

Old Wu on the side snorted coldly, ignored them and walked forward. Although they agreed with their views in the end, they didn't have the slightest feeling of admitting defeat, which made Lao Wu very unhappy. In my heart, I was even more disgusted by Forensic Doctor Qin for helping Teacher Yuan to go against him several times, and the roots of my teeth itched.

Everyone searched and advanced north along the streets, and the soldiers did not care whether Liu Bang or Xiang Yu burned the city. After all, the city had been burned, and one could only guess from the ashes how magnificent it was.

I don't know if it's the reason for entering the ancient tomb again, Ling Yunfeng felt that his senses had strengthened a little more. Even without a flashlight, he seems to be able to see something clearly, and with the help of a flashlight, he seems to be able to see farther.

Just when Ling Yunfeng was happy with the sharpness of his senses, he suddenly felt a chill in his back. The hairs all over his body stood on end, as if someone was peeking at him behind him.

As a well-trained soldier, Ling Yunfeng did not look back, but took advantage of the gap between talking to others to peek behind him.

I tried a few times but didn't find it, but this feeling has always been there. This made Ling Yunfeng have to be more careful, for fear of startling the snake, he didn't dare to warn others.

But after fighting for so long, although I have never been on the real battlefield, it is these intuition that have saved everyone's lives again and again in previous exercises or skirmishes.
