Chapter 330 Underground Imperial City

Wen Qingshan said: "According to classical records, the curved roof of the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum is decorated with precious stones and pearls, symbolizing celestial bodies and stars. I didn't expect it to be true!"

"You said those are night pearls!?" Jianjian looked up at the "starlight" in the sky, a little surprised.

Wen Qingshan nodded.

Jianjian couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, so many luminous pearls, how much are they worth!"

Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "The treasures in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum cannot be measured with money. Not to mention the value of these gems, the value of this underground imperial city is immeasurable. It can be called a wonder of the world."

Having said this, he turned to everyone and said, "Let's not talk so much. We have just entered the underground palace and the imperial city, and we must find Qin Shihuang's coffin as soon as possible."

"But it's so big here, where will Qin Shihuang's coffin be located?" I asked.

Wen Qingshan pointed his hand forward and said: "I think that's where the palace is. I think Qin Shihuang's coffin must be located in the palace." Having said this, Wen Qingshan turned to the old ghost and asked: "Senior Old Ghost.

What do you think?"

The old ghost nodded and said: "I think so, let's go over and have a look!"

A group of people walked along the street in the direction of the palace. There were many buildings on both sides of the street, and there were pottery figurines everywhere on the street. Everyone did not dare to take it lightly, and were cautious along the way, for fear of encountering the agency man again, or touching some agency.

.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m too nervous, but I always feel like something is following us, but every time I look back, I find nothing. Thinking about it carefully, I must be too worried, because the underground palace is

The concentration of mercury inside is extremely high, making it impossible for any living things to exist.

We walked forward for about a hundred meters, and were blocked by a city wall nearly two feet high, and there was a moat four or five meters wide in front of the wall.

The river didn't look very deep. Jianqian inserted the bronze sword in his hand into the river and measured the depth. It was only about thirty centimeters deep.

Seeing that the water was so shallow, Jianjian was ready to cross the river. As soon as he took one foot out, Long Jiansheng, who was standing behind him, had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed his clothes and pulled him back hard. Jianqian was immediately dragged down.

On the ground.

Jianqian was so angry that he got up and wanted to fight Long Jiansheng, but he was no match for Long Jiansheng. If he really started to fight, Long Jiansheng would be able to kill him with one hand. I'm worried about him.

Feeling at a disadvantage, he quickly stepped forward and hugged him.

Bianjian yelled: "What the hell are you doing!?"

Wen Qingshan hurriedly came up to smooth things over: "Now you have missed Brother Jiansheng, he was saving you just now."

"Save me?" Jianjian was startled for a moment. Before he could recover, the old ghost said coldly: "Do you think the moat is water?"

Upon hearing this, Jianjian turned around and glanced at the moat, and suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute, this can't be mercury, but isn't mercury silver?"

Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said: "It would be okay if it were mercury. Even if mercury touches the body, as long as there are no wounds on the skin, there will be no real harm. But what flows in the moat is neither water nor mercury."

, but a highly corrosive liquid. If you step into it, I'm afraid your leg will be destroyed."

"What!?" Jianjian was shocked, and I was also shocked, because I didn't see any difference between the liquid in the moat and water, so I hurriedly asked: "Boss Wen, how do you know this is a strong corrosion?"

Sexual fluids?”

Wen Qingshan pointed to the bronze sword in Jiangui's hand and said, "Look at this sword!"

I turned around and took a look, only to realize that the part of the sword that had just been submerged in the river was completely rust-free and looked like brand new.

Wen Qingshan continued: "From this point of view, this river water should be a highly concentrated acid liquid, which human skin cannot withstand."

After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, Jianjian stuck out his tongue and said nothing more.

The old ghost looked around and said: "The palace should have a palace gate. Let's see where the palace gate is first!"

A group of us walked along the moat and walked dozens of meters away. Sure enough, we saw a majestic palace gate. The palace gate was tightly closed, and there was a pulled up suspension bridge in front of the palace gate. If we wanted to go over, we would have to go there unless

Lower the drawbridge.

The old ghost stared at the suspension bridge carefully, then turned to everyone and said: "That suspension bridge is pulled by two very thick hemp ropes. We have to find a way to break the hemp ropes, and then..."

Before he could finish his words, Long Jiansheng who was standing aside suddenly raised his hand, and something flew out of his hand. The thing quickly spun half a circle in mid-air, and actually happened to pull the suspension bridge's handle.

The two hemp ropes were cut, and there was only a "crunch" sound, and the suspension bridge fell. The moment the suspension bridge landed, the thing thrown by Long Jiansheng flew back into his hands. I took a closer look, and it turned out that it was actually...

It is a boomerang made of metal.

Everyone was shocked, and it took a while for them to come back to their senses. Jianjian said in a daze: "Brother, you are really good at throwing darts."

Long Jiansheng didn't say a word, put away the boomerang, raised his legs and stepped onto the suspension bridge, walking towards the magnificent palace gate.

Everyone hurriedly followed and walked to the palace gate. I immediately saw a circular depression in the middle of the palace gate, which was almost the same size as my stone tablet.

I couldn't help but feel startled and thought to myself: "What's going on? Can this stone gate be opened with my stone tablet?"

The old ghost also noticed the circular depression on the door, and immediately turned to me and asked: "Could it be that your stone tablet can still open this stone door?"

"Try it!" I said as I took off the piece on my chest again, walked to the stone door with the stone tablet, and put the stone tablet into the depression.

After waiting for a moment, I heard a loud "bang" and the stone door slowly opened.

I didn’t expect to be able to open this stone door! Everyone was shocked again. The old ghost stared at the stone plaque and said doubtfully: "What on earth is this stone plaque of yours? Why does it seem to have a great connection with this imperial mausoleum?"

I couldn't tell the truth, so I had to say: "Perhaps as you said, senior, my ancestors have some relationship with the designer of this imperial mausoleum mechanism."

"Hey, that's a coincidence." The old ghost said this meaningfully. I didn't know whether I believed it or not, but he didn't continue to ask, and I was secretly relieved.

The group of people slowly stepped into the palace gate, and faced a staircase extending upward at a 45-degree angle. I counted it in my mind. There were nine floors in total, and each floor was divided into nine steps. In ancient China,

Nine is the extreme number of the yang number, that is, the largest number among odd numbers, so the number nine is often used to symbolize the emperor or the supreme imperial power.

A group of people walked up the stairs and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them. Above the stairs was a large square nearly 100 meters long and nearly 50 meters wide. There were two rows of phalanxes of pottery figurines on both sides of the square, each with a

There are nine square formations, and each square formation is in a nine-nine formation.

In the middle of the square is an avenue nearly two feet wide, extending straight forward and leading directly to a magnificent palace.

We walked slowly along the avenue. I looked around as we walked. As we walked, I discovered a problem. No matter where you looked, the pottery figurines on both sides seemed to be staring at you.

This is so outrageous that I feel a little scared.

Fatty Niu must have discovered this as well, and said tremblingly: "Master...Master, are these terracotta warriors also agents?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bitch on the side immediately said: "Shut up your crow mouth! Every time you say something bad, you get it right. If I want you to say it right again this time, I will give you this mouth."

Sew it up!”

Wen Qingshan pretended to smile casually and said: "Haha, it's too difficult to use pottery figurines to make robots. Besides, these have already been inside the palace. I don't think there should be so many more.

It’s closed.”

The old ghost took Wen Qingshan's words and said, "That's right, what if their first emperor comes to life and is accidentally plotted by the agency?"

After listening to their banter, everyone seemed to feel more relaxed, and I felt a little relieved.

The group of people quickly reached the end of the avenue. In front of them was an arch bridge. There was water under the arch bridge, but when I looked more carefully, I found that it was not actually water, but the mercury that was said to exist in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Wen Qingshan stared at the mercury, frowned and muttered: "This is really a bit strange."

"Why does Boss Wen find it strange?" I asked in confusion.

Wen Qingshan said: "We have been walking all this way, and we didn't see a mercury pool until we got here. But why did we find high concentrations of mercury in the air when we first entered Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?"

"Isn't it true that mercury will evaporate?" Jianjian replied matter-of-factly.

Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said: "Although mercury will volatilize, it actually volatilizes very slowly at normal temperature. If there is a mercury pool in a relatively small and closed space, then after thousands of years, the mercury inside will evaporate.

The air contains high concentrations of mercury

This is not surprising, but the question is, the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is so huge, and many of the tomb chambers are independent. Why does a small mercury pool in the underground palace cause the air in the entire mausoleum to contain high concentrations of mercury?

, this is really unreasonable.”

As he was talking, Fatty Niu, who was standing nearby, suddenly screamed "Ah", startling everyone.

"Niu Fatty, what are you doing!" Jianjian turned around and asked.

Fatty Niu pointed at the mercury pool and said with a horrified expression: "The pool... there seems to be something in the pool..."

"Are you kidding? This is..." Before Jianjian could finish her sentence, she was stunned because looking in the direction that Fatty Niu was pointing, there was a wave of ripples in the originally calm mercury pool.
