Chapter 1: Linfan

Next Chapter

"In the ancient era of slash-and-burn farming, did there really exist immortals who could fly to the heavens and the earth? Did the myths and legends recorded in the first strange book of ancient times, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, have a certain basis? Did the yin and yang gossip and the heavens and stars hide huge secrets? Since ancient times, some people have asked immortals to ask if they are ignorant and know that they can't do it, or is there something else hidden?" An inexplicable question appeared in Lin Fan's mind. He was interested in these mythological grotesques at a young age, and he embarked on the path of archaeology, hoping that one day he would be able to get his hands on those ancient myths.

Today, Lin Fan is an archaeologist and has the privilege of participating in the excavation of the Lishan Tomb, the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

"The First Emperor Gong Gai Three Emperors and the Fifth Emperor Dechao will also believe in immortality, find the elixir of a lifetime, and return to dust after the worst!" Lin Fan lay in the camping tent and sighed, full of thoughts.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying of immortality, can people really exist forever between heaven and earth and the universe, and there are many records of feathering and ascending immortals since the beginning of writing, Kong Qiu also said that ghosts and gods cannot be talked about, are there really those supernatural immortals and ghosts between heaven and earth?"

"Ancient legends: Shennong Yellow Emperor feathered and ascended to immortality, Guangchengzi lived forever, Peng Zu died after two generations of Xia and Shang, are these really so ethereal?"

"Tick bell" Lin Fan's mobile phone rang, and he interrupted his thoughts and picked up the phone.

"Lin Fan! it's me, Xiaoxuan!" was a fresh and sweet female voice in the microphone.

"Xiao Xuan, why haven't you slept so late?" Lin Fan smiled slightly when he heard this voice and asked.

"I haven't slept yet, I miss you a little! You're working, so I won't bother you!"

"Hey, Xiao Xuan" Lin Fan was just about to say something, when Xiao Xuan's voice came from the microphone again.

"By the way! I wish you a new harvest of archaeology tomorrow!"

"Dut... Toot · As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xuan hung up the phone.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.

Xiaoxuan is his girlfriend of three years, and they have decided to get married next month. In the days of archaeology, Lin Fan did not let his parents worry about Xiaoxuan, and after this archaeology, Lin Fan was ready to go home to see his parents who had not seen him for a year.

"I hope that as Xiao Xuan said, there will be a major discovery when I enter the tomb tomorrow!" Lin Fan said to himself, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After all, the Lishan Tomb has existed for more than 2,000 years, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will enter and destroy it. According to historical records, many people have robbed the Lishan Tomb. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, burned the Afang Palace, and perhaps also went to dig the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, as well as the Yellow Nest of the Red Mei Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is said to have stolen the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Lin Fan and their entry into the tomb this time is actually very dangerous, historical records record that there are many mechanisms in the Lishan tomb, and those ancient mechanisms made by skilled craftsmen are difficult to destroy for thousands of years!

Lin Fan was worried and more expectant, looking forward to seeing those peerless treasures from thousands of years ago.

Sima's "Historical Records" recorded: "The first emperor ascended the throne at the beginning, wore the Lishan Mountain, and merged the world, the world sent more than 700,000 people, wore three springs, and caused the coffin under the copper, and the palace was full of hundreds of officials and strange artifacts. Let the craftsman make a crossbow arrow, and shoot those who are close. With mercury as the rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. From this, it can be inferred that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang contains all the treasures!

Just the burial terracotta warriors and horses can be called the "eighth wonder of the world", so what about the real imperial tomb?

It was late at night, and Lin Fan put aside the imagination in his mind and fell asleep. The machines roared outside the camping tent, and although it was late at night, some members of the archaeological team had already begun to prepare.

"Xiaoxuan Xiaoxuan" Lin Fan dreamed, he dreamed again that he and Xiaoxuan walked into the holy and snow-white wedding hall. This dream is so beautiful!

Lin Fan's hometown is in Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, where his parents still live. Lin Fan's deceased grandfather was a traditional Chinese doctor, and it was because of the miraculous methods of Chinese medicine that Lin Fan was so interested in those ancient civilizations when he was a child. It's a pity that Lin Fan's father did not inherit his grandfather's career, and Lin Fan was too young at that time, so that his grandfather passed away with regret.

Five or six years ago, Lin Fan left his hometown to embark on what he loved as archaeology, and over the years he has traveled all over the country, visiting relics related to ancient mythology. Those ancient totems and mysterious words all show Lin Fan that there has been an unknown history of extinction in this land of China.

All kinds of signs gave Lin Fan the confidence to continue archaeology, he firmly believed that there was an ancient and mysterious mythical era before Dayu ruled the water, and the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors really existed.

Over the years, he has climbed Cangwu, visited Huiji, and searched for many myths and legends in Penglai, but unfortunately the years have erased all traces and made it difficult for Lin Fan to find anything, and it was in the days when Lin Fan visited these ancient ruins that he met Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan is an empathetic girl, who has been silently supporting and accompanying Lin Fan over the years, following Lin Fan through mountains and rivers, Lin Fan's parents also like Xiaoxuan, that is, under the repeated requests of her parents, Lin Fan and Xiaoxuan decided to get married next month.

Early the next morning, Lin Fan woke up in his sleep, put on his equipment, and went to the assembly place.

Their captain, an old man in his sixties, was already waiting for them at the assembly site. Speaking of the captain of their archaeological team, Lin Fan was quite impressed by him, and heard people say: This old man with a white beard was a Taoist priest in his early years, he knew yin and yang, and knew how to do mathematics.

After a while, Lin Fan and his team of archaeological team had arrived, and the old captain reiterated to them the precautions for entering the tomb. Since Lin Fan's team was the first to enter the tomb, safety was extremely important, and everyone was listening carefully.

"Check your equipment again, especially gas masks and small oxygen cylinders!" shouted the old captain, who was still strong enough despite his age.

Lin Fan also checked the equipment one by one to see if there was anything missing: shovels, gas masks, oxygen cylinders, gloves, and strong flashlights.

In this way, Lin Fan and his entourage, stepping on the morning mist, walked forward on Lishan.

The lush trees are shrouded in morning mist, which is particularly quiet and far-reaching, and occasionally birdsong is heard, echoing in the forest, like fairy music.

In this reckless and vast mountain, there is a huge secret buried by the first emperor of the ages!

"Tell me, what would you most like to see in this archaeology?" someone asked.

"I want to see the sun, moon and stars made of those pearls that Sima Qian said the most, they must be the most beautiful treasures in heaven and earth!"

"I want to see if the everlasting lamp made of whale fat in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has been extinguished!"

"Ha Luha, I want to see the remains of the First Emperor the most, and see what this Emperor of the Ages looks like!"

Everyone was talking about it.

"Old Captain, what do you most want to see?" Lin Fan looked at the old captain's face full of vicissitudes and asked.

"Old man, what I want to see most is the elixir of immortality, let the old man smell it and feel the feeling of being a fairy! Hahaha!" the old captain smiled, his slightly cloudy eyes flashing with expectation. Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all said that they wanted to smell it too!

"It's time to get to the passage we opened, everyone get ready!" said the old captain, looking at the tents in the distance. The Lishan Tomb is a completely enclosed tomb with no tomb door, so it is necessary to open a passage into the tomb. The tents were left behind by the excavation of the passage, and later became the logistical tents of the archaeological team that entered the tomb.

When they arrived at the entrance of the passage, some archaeological team members couldn't help but feel a little hairy in their hearts when they saw the entrance of the black hole. People always have a fear of the unknown. Lin Fan is better, he has entered a lot of ancient tombs over the years, and he has gradually adapted to some gloomy ancient tombs.

The archaeological team members entered the narrow and gloomy cave one by one, and even if they turned on the bright flashlight in the passage, they still couldn't see through the dark curtain ahead.

"When we enter the tomb, we must not be separated, we know too little about the situation in the tomb, and once we are separated, the consequences will be unimaginable!" the old captain reminded.

Before entering the tomb, Lin Fan felt a cold aura surging from the depths of the passage, cold and piercing, even if he was wearing professional equipment, he still couldn't stop this yin qi. The tomb is deep in the belly of the mountain, and it does not see the light of day all year round, and the earth's qi is deposited in the knot for thousands of years, and its gloom can be imagined.

"The yin qi is really heavy! I have never been into such a gloomy tomb, I'm afraid there are a lot of people dead inside!" said the old captain, Lin Fan was following behind the old captain at this time.

"The craftsmen who built the tomb are all locked up inside, I don't know how many have died!" Lin Fan sighed. This is the case for all dynasties to build imperial tombs, and in order to keep the secrets of the imperial tombs, it is impossible for these craftsmen to live.

The yin wind gusted in the passage, gushing from the ground, whimpering like a ghost. The bright flashlight is like a boat in the sea in this darkness, as if it will be swallowed up at any time.

"We're going to enter the tomb, everyone be careful, slow down!" said the old captain who was at the front. As he spoke, he slowly slid down the hewn hole into the tomb.

Lin Fan raised the strong flashlight and shone it down, only to see pieces of dark stone bricks lined up closely, like the scales on the body of a black python. At this time, the old captain was waiting for them below.

Lin Fan climbed down cautiously, and as soon as his feet landed, he felt a cold breath from the soles of his feet to his heart, as if he had stepped on the ice of tens of thousands of years, and he finally managed to get used to it.

Waiting for the personnel to arrive, Lin Fan and the others began to grope their way forward in this dark and unfamiliar tomb.

This burial chamber is so large that the light of the flashlight does not illuminate the four walls of the burial chamber at all, as if there is no end. This feeling is the most terrifying!

The sound of water droplets dripping from not far away echoed with Lin Fan's footsteps in this dark and silent tomb, and there was an indescribable weirdness. Lin Fan saw the old captain frowning, as if he had sensed something.

Suddenly, several faint green lights in the distance attracted the attention of Lin Fan and the others. The dark green light was like a ghost fire, flickering and extinguishing, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.

"What's that?" someone asked.

"It's supposed to be a lantern!" said the old captain. As he spoke, he walked slowly there.

Walking in, Lin Fan saw that it was a bronze lamp holder more than one person high, there were as many as eight of them, the lamp oil on it was about to burn out, and there were wisps of black gas fluttering in the faint green flames. The lampholder is a humanoid monster, which is supposed to be some kind of ancient ghost. The bronze lampholder was too old, and it was covered with patina, and Lin Fan couldn't tell which ghost god it was.

"The lights are going out," the old captain said faintly, staring at the wick that was about to burn out.

"What will happen if it's extinguished?" Lin Fan asked as he heard that the old captain had something to say.

"It's not a good thing, I'm afraid something will happen in the tomb!" said the old captain heavily. He pinched his fingers, and his face was a little solemn.

"The old captain knows how to divination?" Lin Fan said. It seems that the old captain has indeed been a Taoist priest, and he is also proficient in the art of arithmetic.

"I learned one or two in my early years, and I am afraid that you young people don't believe it, old man, three of the hexagrams I calculate must be spiritual!" said the old captain with a smile.

"The lights went out!" someone shouted.

"It's the 'Shengmen' that has been destroyed!" said the old captain with a moving expression.

"Is it the 'Shengmen' in 'Sheng', 'Injury', 'Shock', 'Death', 'Rest', 'Jing', and 'Open'?" Lin Fan asked.

"That's right, these eight lights are an eight array, and when the lights go out, the door is closed!" said the old captain.

"The theory of the Eight Formations is nothing!" someone said, not believing the old captain's words.

"These 'Eight Formations' are not so simple, there must be some mechanism connected, and the tomb must have changed!" said the old captain, his face worried.

"The passage we came in is gone!" suddenly one of the archaeologists shouted.

Lin Fan and the others shone the flashlight in the direction they came, and found that the hole had disappeared, and the scene became extremely weird.

"If the hole is gone, we will die of lack of oxygen. Someone said. Saying that, many people panicked, and a few people ran in the direction of the original cave entrance, and in the panic, another light went out.

"Don't get separated, everyone!" shouted the old captain. At the same time, try to contact the people on the ground.

"The signal was blocked by something in the tomb!" the old captain said gloomily, as if he had given Lin Fan a fatal wound.

"Ahh

Lin Fan and the others used a flashlight to follow the sound, and found that the few people who ran towards the entrance of the cave were all fallen on the cold floor tiles, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"All dead!" the old captain led people to check, and when he saw that the deaths of those people were extremely miserable, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not long after those people died, their bodies had already begun to rot, and the mold spots spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if time had accelerated dozens of times.

Before Lin Fan and them were afraid, another bronze lamp went out, and the boundless darkness devoured Lin Fan and them.

"We've got to find the exit before the lights go out, we're going to die here anyway. The old captain said, and Lin Fan could see that his face was ugly. Just as the old captain was talking, another light went out!

"But which way shall we go?" someone asked.

"Whichever lamp can burn the longest, we'll go in whichever direction!" said the old captain.

Everyone nodded, the old captain was the most experienced, and now they could only listen to him.

"Let's go!" said the old captain and Lin Fan and his party and continued to grope their way forward in the dark.
