Chapter 307 Entering the Imperial Tomb
“…this is how it is.”
After Su Yuzhu finished speaking the last sentence, she took a deep breath: "I have said everything I can, believe it or not."
In front of him, the four people from Kunlun University, who had just finished listening to this story, were looking at each other in secret, and were secretly digesting the details of these words.
"I can't get attracted to something... As far as I know, there are some tricks that should be able to do it."
Jiang Ling touched her chin: "But this means that there is indeed a spiritual magic array in this tomb running. When you walk into the gate, you will enter the range of the magic array...or, there are spell casters inside."
"And according to what he said, he came here more than half a month ago, but just walked around inside and it had been more than ten days since he came out..." Wu Hao next to him thought, "This sounds...it's very similar to the characteristics of a blessed land."
"I feel the same way, and his companions suddenly disappeared without warning, which was like being pulled into the blessed land. But in this way, there is still a spiritual medium connecting the blessed land..."
Jiang Ling thought about it and asked Su Yuzhu again: "You just said that the client handed you a piece of a suspected spiritual weapon. What exactly is it?"
"It's a... lid." Su Yuzhu obviously hesitated for a moment, "a lid made of bronze."
As if he noticed Jiang Ling's suspicious eyes, he curled his lips and said, "If you love to believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can use your magic to verify it."
"That's what you said."
After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she carefully used the technique of controlling her mind, asking him to re-explain the process just now while being accused, focusing on the differences from what she said before, in case this kid intentionally conceals it.
But unexpectedly, the two narratives were no different. Su Yuzhu looked at her stinky face and did not lie to cheat them.
In other words... there are really living people in this tomb? And there is a blessed land? Could this "lid" that Su Yuzhu has obtained is part of the spiritual weapon?
A sense of strangeness swept across his body, and the few people suddenly felt that the land under their feet was a little crawling. While thinking, they heard Jie Tianyang's voice coming from the side.
"If these are true, then those shadows are not important to us, what matters is the construction of the tomb itself."
The few people turned their heads and realized that Tianyang had just completed the command work in his hands and was walking towards this side.
Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he had been listening to the conversation here just now and listened to what Su Yuzhu said.
"I heard what he said just now that when he was stuck on the door of the main mausoleum, he did not feel hypoxia, and he could even scream. That means that there is air and spiritual energy in the tomb itself."
Jie Tianyang said to this side. After coordinating with these archaeologists for so long, it was not a waste of time. Faced with Su Yuzhu's words, he immediately grasped the core of the problem.
"In this way, you can start to think about entering the mausoleum without considering the issue of confinement. Confinement is just to protect the buildings and collections inside from being destroyed by air. But if the inside itself is circulating, then what should be destroyed should have been destroyed long ago."
"Also, historical books say that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor "used mercury as the rivers and seas of all rivers, rivers and seas" contains a large amount of highly toxic mercury in the tomb to deal with tomb robbers. Those archaeological experts say that the mercury content in this area under our feet has always exceeded the standard for many years, and the detector also shows that there is a large amount of mercury underground."
"All the archaeological community knows that the biggest threat to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is the extremely high mercury around it, that is, the toxicity of mercury. Logically speaking, the tomb should be filled with a large amount of mercury vapor."
"If this is the case, it is impossible for you to see these without professional anti-virus equipment. Once you enter the tomb, you should have hanged up instantly because of inhaling poison gas." Jie Tianyang looked at him, "But I didn't hear this part from your previous narrative."
"I haven't seen any mercury before." Su Yuzhu said.
"This is a strange place. Including air, mercury, and... the demons that appeared in the city should have been a great threat that might appear in the First Emperor's Mausoleum, but you didn't even encounter any of them."
"If what I just said is true, then most of the early archaeological work can be omitted directly. After doing the basic work, you can enter the main tomb as soon as possible."
Jie Tianyang looked around everyone: "I don't know when the Soul-Devouring Array in the Ring City will be activated, not to mention the time difference between the blessed land and reality. Let's leave now, it's a little earlier."
With these words from him, everyone was quickly mobilized, stood up one by one, followed him, and walked all the way to the thief hole.
At this time, various detection instruments had been placed around the thief hole, and the shade cloth and the barrier for isolation were already in place, which was extremely luxurious.
If the thief hole also has a rating, this may be the most treated thief hole in history.
Originally, their purpose was not to move away cultural relics, but to stop the possible soul-devouring array inside, as long as it could be entered. The so-called predecessors planted trees and later took advantage of the shade. Since this cave directly leads to the inside of the imperial tomb, it is equivalent to a ready-made passage, and it is not useless.
As for those protection parts, according to Su Yuzhu's explanation just now, it has become no longer necessary. This means that most of the preliminary preparations at the archaeological level can be skipped directly.
If there is really a blessing inside, by the time they come out, the outside world might have already passed ten days and half a month, and this time difference is enough to complete other arrangements.
Jie Tianyang walked up and exchanged a few words with the archaeologists around him, which soon made them understand the current situation.
It can be seen that the archaeologists were a little hesitant, but they still made permission. After obtaining the basic emergency equipment, the five Kunlun University who participated in the operation, and Su Yuzhu, who led the way, jumped into the thief hole one by one and entered the area of the tomb.
The thief hole is a straight earth hole that is dozens of meters deep. After jumping down, you can see a thick layer of rammed earth in front of it, as if there were still traces of quicksand. It should be the result of Su Yuzhu's group before.
Logically speaking, dozens of meters thick rammed earth and quicksand should be the most indestructible anti-theft measures outside the imperial tomb. Ordinary people probably have to dig a hole for a few months just by digging holes.
Although I don’t know how they did it, this saves the most troublesome steps in the early stage and gives you a convenience.
The five people walked along the soil layer and entered the corridor of the tomb through a wall of earth bricks that had been moved away.
The corridor of the acres was pitch black, and the smell of dust and a faint mold came to my face.
Several people lit the firefly talisman for lighting, and then they saw that there was a square passage about four meters in height inside. Although it was not narrow, it was not short in length. The earthy road extended to the darkness ahead, like a bottomless abyss.
"Let him be at the forefront and lead the way."
Jie Tianyang glanced at Su Yuzhu first: "I'll walk behind him. If anything is wrong, I'll do it immediately."
This sentence has two meanings: First, if there is any danger, he can protect the other party immediately; second, if Su Yuzhu has any wrong ideas, he will also take action as soon as possible.
Su Yuzhu obviously also heard this meaning and snorted, but she knew her situation and didn't say anything.
So far, except for Han Jiangchen, who is also a "spiritual man", he seems to have no good face to anyone.
"Then I will cut off the rear." Wu Hao said.
"No, you and Jiang Ling go left and right separately, let Han Jiangchen go the last."
Jie Tianyang rejected him in one sentence: "I don't know what evil things are in this tomb. Maybe when we don't pay attention, invisible things will stick to us. Since he can see those evil things, he will look at everyone's situation from behind, so that if there is any problem, you will immediately discover it."
"As for Yuan Qingqing, you can go in the middle and save your spiritual power as much as possible. Don't take action unless necessary. If someone is injured, you need to take it immediately."
"And it's..." He looked around and continued, "Everyone will concentrate his spiritual power under his feet and levitate forward. Try not to touch the surroundings. I don't know what mechanism will trigger in this corridor. If I step on it or touch it, it will be in trouble."
Within a few words, he had already arranged the team and formulated the initial code.
Although most of the people in the team were higher than him, everyone was automatically standing in the queue as he said, and their respective capacity was suspended in the position of a palm in the sky - they were all cultivators who reached the foundation building, and flying was as normal as walking.
Su Yuzhu was in front, Jie Tianyang followed closely, and put a divine talisman behind him and made him float together. Behind them, Jiang Ling and Wu Hao protected Yuan Qingqing in the center, one left and one right, while Han Jiangchen walked at the end.
In such an environment, psychological pressure rises sharply and no one dares to be careless.
The five of them secretly used their spiritual power. Jie Tianyang pinched the chess piece in his pocket, Wu Hao used his energy on his body, Jiang Ling expanded the range of his spiritual consciousness to the maximum, Yuan Qingqing took out a few fire pills and clamped it, Han Jiangchen was already holding the sword in his hand, and the invisible spirit was spreading in the passage, as if the lush aura had been forced to retreat a little.
A trace of horror flashed through Su Yuzhu's eyes. It was obvious that these people were not much older than him, but now it brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression. Just standing there was a feeling of a huge rock pressing on the top.
Han Jiang and his two levels were quite surprised by him just now, but now it seems that not only did the two of them have not yet done their best, but there are also many people like them.
He couldn't help but shut up, and his original rebelliousness was extinguished on the spot. He just walked in front and led the group into it.
The corridor was not tortuous, and it was quite smooth along the way. Occasionally, Jiang Ling would urge him to walk in the right direction as soon as possible to prevent this kid from taking everyone into the ditch.
Although Su Yuzhu was quite unhappy about this, she didn't say much.
The journey was smooth and thrilling. It was said that it was smooth because they had almost no obstacles. Jie Tianyang's judgment allowed them to avoid all trigger mechanisms, which was a green light all the way.
It is said to be thrilling, but it comes from what you see and hear along the way.
Although they did not trigger the mechanism themselves, they saw countless crossbow arrows nailed to the wall on the road, with traces of quicksand and poisonous gas erosion in the corners. Every inch of the trace describes what those who had come here had faced.
After walking (flying) for about ten meters, they saw the first corpse.
The body had completely turned into white bones, half hidden under the soil layer of the road, and the clothes were already rotten. They were still holding their hands and mouths wide open, as if they were still trying to break free from the quicksand. I don’t know whether it was the craftsman who stayed inside when the tomb was closed, or the tomb robbers hundreds of years ago.
Walking back, there are countless such bones: those who lack arms and legs, only those who are left, and several skeletons are wrapped around and cannot tell who is who is... Some bones even carry military armor. Maybe they were led by Xiang Yu or a dynasty in later generations, but they all fell on the road ahead.
For thousands of years, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been the ultimate life ideal of every tomb robber, but now this road has clearly shown the outcome of the trespasser.
This corridor that is several hundred meters long is simply an exhibition hall for tomb robbers in ancient and modern times. Perhaps it can be changed to "One Hundred Ways of Death of Tomb Robbers".
Even if there are no cultural relics, just moving these corpses out is of revolutionary significance for modern people to study ancient clothing and biological composition.
But now the five people didn't care about this. They just looked around nervously and did not miss any unusual details.
As he walked, Jie Tianyang's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of the team.
"...you guys, look at this."
Everyone followed the direction of his fingers, and then their expressions changed.
At a fork, large patches of muddy marks were densely covered. The mud marks extended irregularly in all directions, melting into the soil layer and disappearing, just like countless mud-stained wheels rolling past, but these wheels disappeared in front of the mound.
Most importantly, these mud marks still remain moist and look like... they have just appeared not long ago.
"This, isn't it..." Yuan Qingqing lowered his voice.
"There are the demonic power of the monsters on it." Han Jiangchen glanced over and quickly came to the conclusion.
"Well, it's not wrong, it's the traces left by the elephants." Jiang Ling Chen pointed, "There are so many corpses here, and the elephants are born from the corpse energy... In other words, not long ago, a large number of elephants ran out from here - the elephants in the city may all be released from this tomb!"
The group of people became quiet, and everyone carefully suppressed their breathing and floated forward silently. Until the end of the road, a special smell of copper rust poured into their noses. In front of the open flame, a huge stone was a copper-skinned door that was leaning against the railing appeared in front of them.
As Su Yuzhu said, this is the entrance to the main tomb. From a distance, there are indeed some traces of hard objects prying the door on it.
Although they were mentally prepared in advance, the moment they saw the door, the five of them were shocked in an instant.
