Hoban was unknown in history, but in Hu Hai's words, his status was noble, comparable to that of the Imperial Master, and even higher than Zhao Gao, Li Si and others.
It's a pity that Hoban was devoted to studying Luban's secrets and had no interest in political intrigues, nor did he care about the life and death of the people in Ming Dynasty - otherwise he would not have been able to build the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is only one of Hoban's masterpieces, but it is not his most satisfactory work.
His most satisfying work is actually the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang!
For Hoban, building a magnificent palace and designing various traps inside was his greatest hobby.
However, Zhao Gao and Li Si did not think so.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, the two men immediately sent experts to the imperial mausoleum to kill Hoban. However, because of Hoban's powerful magic, the attacker was no match at all. Instead, he was killed by Hoban, made into a puppet, and left in the imperial mausoleum.
In order to express his anger, Hoban even cut off the head of one of them, placed it on the body of a wooden man, and then cast a spell to make the wooden man walk all the way to Xianyang Palace.
This scared Zhao Gao and Li Si out of their wits, thinking that such magic was far beyond their knowledge.
Seeing that Hoban could not be killed, Zhao Gao and Li Si had no choice but to sue for peace. Hoban did not take them seriously and continued to study the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
Later, when Qin Shihuang was buried, Hoban invited some masters from folk sects to volunteer to enter the imperial mausoleum to guard the mausoleum for Qin Shi Huang.
The most powerful among them are the corpse chaser, the paper maker, the poison master and the juggler.
They sacrificed their souls to Hoban and had him imprisoned in the main hall, leaving only their physical bodies in the inner city, which were sealed in coffins by Hoban.
From then on, the descendants of the four folk sects slept in this underground palace forever along with Qin Shihuang.
When Qin Shihuang was buried, Hu Hai had actually foreseen his future.
He knew that he was just a puppet and Zhao Gao would kill him sooner or later. Hu Hai was timid by nature and did not dare to resist, so he found Huo Ban privately.
Hu Hai asked Hoban to find a way to let his soul enter the imperial mausoleum after his death. He did not want to sleep in the main hall with his father, but he only wanted to be content to stay in the outer city.
Hoban may have been moved by Hu Hai, so he took a ray of Hu Hai's soul, stored it in the Yin Wood of Luban, and then sealed it in advance on the gate of the inner city of the Imperial Tomb.
No matter where Hu Hai died in the end, his soul will return to the imperial mausoleum.
When the inner city of the imperial mausoleum is opened, it will be the day when Hu Hai wakes up. At that time, Hu Hai will be able to directly control the four powerful descendants of the folk sect who guard the inner city to resist tomb robbers.
Later, Hu Hai was forced to death by Zhao Gao, and his soul came to the imperial mausoleum.
This defense lasted for two thousand years.
After Yan Shouyi and others awakened Hu Hai, Hu Hai wanted to kill Yan Shouyi and others by controlling the successors of four folk sects.
But the result was far beyond Hu Hai's expectation. Those zombie evil spirits didn't listen to him at all!
I have to say that Hu Hai's character has not changed over the years.
Back then, he was threatened by Zhao Gao and made a puppet emperor.
Now Yan Shouyi threatened him a little, and he told everything.
After listening to what Hu Hai said, Yan Shouyi frowned slightly.
Hu Hai said quickly: "Everything I said is true. If you dare to lie to you, I will strike with five thunderbolts from the sky!"
Yan Shouyi took out a Taoist talisman and put it on Hu Hai's head. Hu Hai was immediately unable to speak or hear, and only his eyes kept rolling.
"I have temporarily sealed his soul in Li Yang's body. Captain Wang, please ask someone to keep an eye on him for me."
Two team members came over to hold Li Yang, who was possessed by Hu Hai, but Hu Hai did not dare to struggle and kept his head down obediently.
Others gathered together to discuss.
Yan Shouyi asked Liang Yinqiu: "Professor Liang, you know the history best. Do you think what Hu Hai said is credible?"
Liang Yinqiu pondered for a while and replied: "It is basically credible. Although the history of the Qin Dynasty is very far away from us, there were already records on bamboo slips at that time. I have seen information about the imperial tombs on the bamboo slips of cultural relics unearthed in later generations.
The construction records did mention the character Hoban, but I didn't expect his identity to be so special at the time, so I didn't take it to heart."
"Speaking of which, Huo Ban is half your ancestor." Lin Zitong joked.
Yan Shou coughed twice and thought to himself: It would be great if this Patriarch recognized him, and we wouldn't be in such a mess.
Xia Qi worriedly asked: "Master Patriarch? Then when we enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, won't we ask Brother Yan to smash Grandmaster's sign?"
Everyone was silent for a while, as if what Xia Qi said made sense?
If Yan Shouyi escaped from the imperial mausoleum, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the founder Huo Ban?
Yan Shouyi smiled and said: "Although I am the Patriarch, I don't think I am necessarily worse than him."
After everyone heard this, they calmed down a little.
Hoban was indeed powerful back then, but Yan Shouyi didn't think that he was any less inferior to Hoban now. After all, Lu Ban's books were passed down from generation to generation. Although some of his strange and obscene skills were lost, more of them were absorbed and improved.
It can be said that today's descendants of Lu Ban must know many more skills than Hoban!
Maybe when Hoban himself saw Yan Shouyi now, he would pat Yan Shouyi on the head and praise him: Haha! That's okay, little brother!
Lin Zitong said at this time: "Hu Hai said that he could have ordered the descendants of the four folk sects to control the zombie evil spirits, but now it doesn't work. Do you think his words are true or false?"
"Judging from his previous reaction, it should be true." Wang Sihuai finally interjected.
Before doing the rescue, Wang Sihuai worked as a criminal policeman for several years. Hu Hai's reaction just now didn't look like he was pretending.
Either Hoban deceived Hu Hai, but in fact he did not give Hu Hai the ability to control the successors of the four folk sects.
Yan Shouyi pondered for a moment and said: "I do believe what he said. Those evil ghosts and zombies don't listen to him. Maybe there is another reason."
"What's the reason?" Liang Yinqiu asked.
Yan Shouyi didn't answer, but looked at Lin Zitong, and Lin Zitong instantly understood what he meant.
Because of the national master of Qingjiang Kingdom!
For the imperial mausoleum of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang at that time had a history of more than a thousand years.
When he enters the imperial mausoleum, he will inevitably encounter the descendants of these folk sects.
With the methods of the national master, it is possible to control the successors of the four folk sects.
Thinking of this, Yan Shou turned around and tore off the Taoist talisman that sealed Hu Hai.
He said solemnly: "Your Highness Hu Hai, in fact, someone had broken into the imperial mausoleum more than a thousand years before us. I speculate that he had already entered the main hall."
Hu Hai glared and said angrily: "Who is so bold!"
Yan Shouyi smiled bitterly: "What can you do if I tell you?"
Hu Hai: "..."
Hu Hai sighed. He also recognized his situation. He had no dignity when he was alive, and he had no ability when he died. Even his father's grave was broken into, and there was nothing he could do. He could only stay here.
Complain.
"What a coincidence!"
Yan Shouyi suddenly changed his tone and said to Hu Hai with a smile: "We have a grudge against the guy in front, so we are willing to help you drive him out of your father's palace."
Hu Hai's eyes lit up, but then he became alert again: "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!"
The corner of Yan Shou's eye twitched.
It's no wonder that Hu Hai is paranoid. After all, he has been tricked so many times, and a fool should have a longer memory.
Yan Shouyi also had a way to deal with Hu Hai like this. He sighed softly:
"It's hard to be a good person! Since you don't want to help, then we will leave. Then we will leave you alone in this huge imperial mausoleum, all alone and helpless, with only zombies and evil ghosts around you, and they are all
I don’t know you, Qin Er, who doesn’t treat you as a human being, bullies you and abuses you all day long... Oh, I feel pitiful when I think about it, but there is nothing I can do, who makes you not recognize a good heart..."
These words made Hu Hai even more frightened. Although this was his father's imperial mausoleum, he was not familiar with this place at all!
And just as Yan Shouyi said, Hu Hai had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and had to be fed by others. How could he survive in the imperial mausoleum by himself?
Do you expect those stupid zombies and evil spirits?
So Hu Hai gritted his teeth and said, "How do you want me to help you?"
Yan Shouyi replied: "It's very simple. Tell us how to enter the main hall."
