In the second half of the night, the cold wind howled.
Huainan King Liu An was rescued from the battlefield. After changing his appearance, he transformed into another person and was on his way to escape.
He lay in a special space object and was carried around by another person.
Liu An's eyes went black for a while, which was a sign that his soul was damaged, and the huge pain in his chest and abdomen kept him awake.
He was lying in the artifact space, his face was like gold paper, and he said to the people outside the artifact: "I think the escape just now is a bit weird."
"King Nan suspects that Huo Qubing has some plans to dig out the remaining members of your Huainan lineage?"
"No, he was bent on killing me, I could feel it. And in that situation, he couldn't completely control it... But I was injured by him, and after I used the half-day plan to move away, the journey was too peaceful and I didn't suffer any harm.
Don’t you think it’s strange to be pursued by anyone?
With the power of the Forbidden Army and Xiuyi, can we really get rid of them so easily?"
The person who was talking to the King of Huainan was an honest-looking man in his fifties, who was walking in a concealed manner and responded in a voice:
"King Nan was able to escape at that time, using the Half-Sky Map, which allowed him to move hundreds of miles in an instant. I also have the ancient rare treasure Huntian Slips with me. Even if your suspicion is true, no one can find us so quickly."
King Huainan thought for a while and agreed with the other party's judgment.
Soon after, he endured the pain and took out a piece of sheepskin from his chest and abdomen, which was covered with incantations.
As early as when he was in charge of Huainan, he had close ties with the Xiongnu.
The King of Huainan used his spiritual thoughts and took out a piece of ancient sword-shaped jade that was as smooth as water. There were incantations flowing on it. He divided the energy from it and blended it into the leather scroll, and then wrote on the scroll with his finger: "The Xiongnu promised
How is the progress of the matter with this king going?"
On the other side of the leather scroll, the response was the Huns shaman's edict: "The capital has been arranged, to the west of the Han Dynasty."
As soon as he asked and answered the question, King Huainan felt faint, the pain in his head intensified, and he had to put down the scroll in his hand.
Outside Xiguan...
————
Lishan underground.
Huo Qubing had his body searched for the great master.
"Is this the utensil you were talking about?"
Qian Kunzao knew how to send things to the imperial tomb, but he needed special tools to assist.
The Great Master has this special artifact in his palm.
A white bead was found from his body.
"Zonghengdao has been investigating for decades and found that there are two kinds of things that can withstand the soul-burning fire for a certain period of time after entering the mausoleum. As long as the things fall on the ground in the imperial mausoleum, the soul-burning fire will not appear again.
”
Qian Kunzao explains.
The beads found from the Great Master's waist bag were about an inch in diameter and round. There was a faint sound of tide inside, and thick water vapor was churning inside.
"Draw water beads." Bai Nanyu said.
"Exactly, by using the water-absorbing beads to separate part of the essence, wrap the things you want to send in, and cooperate with the formation disk, you can send some small things into the imperial mausoleum." Qian Kunzao said.
"You just said that there are two things that can withstand the fire of the imperial mausoleum. What is the other one?"
Qian Kunzao glanced at the Taoist Master: "It's the Taoist slip left by the Taoist ancestor."
The Taoist Master frowned and said, "Have you ever tried sending Taoist slips from my Taoist sect to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"
Qian Kunzao nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Taoist Master looked from the position of the shaft to the imperial mausoleum. To the east, not far from the two jade bridges, there was a Taoist slip on the ground. It fell into the imperial mausoleum and could not be taken out.
.
That's the only thing that can't be damaged in the imperial mausoleum."
The Taoist Master's face was shattered, and he looked eagerly into the imperial mausoleum. Sure enough, he saw a Taoist slip at the location where Qian Kunzao said.
The slip was triggered by some kind of energy in the imperial mausoleum, but it hung in the air a few feet away from the ground in the imperial mausoleum, with the mysterious and yellow dao rhyme flowing.
"I said that when I entered this underground palace, I noticed the aura of Dao Jian, but it was very subtle. It turned out that it was in the imperial mausoleum..." Dao Zun said.
At this time, Qian Kunzao was holding a water drop in his hand: "Let's try it first. Huo Hou and Dao Zun will know the process at a glance."
After saying this, he took out a bronze array plate that was also found from the Great Master, with intricate ranking marks engraved on it.
"This formation plate is made by imitating the star chart on the top wall of the imperial mausoleum.
Using this array disk in conjunction with the water-absorbing beads, the energy can be integrated with the galaxy array pattern on the top wall of the imperial mausoleum, reducing the chance of triggering the killing array."
Qian Kunzao explained while integrating his power, triggering the water-absorbing beads and array disk.
The two combine to form an air mass that is half a foot in diameter and looks like a bubble.
Qian Kunzao then pushed the air ball down into the shaft, like a drop of water blending into the lake, quietly passing through the light curtain on the top wall of the First Emperor's Mausoleum.
"The process we are seeing now, it seems that it is not difficult to send things in, but in fact it is a method that Zonghengdao spent countless hours to figure out.
The promotion of this formation disk must be combined with the time, and the promotion method of each time is different.
The things sent in cannot be living things, otherwise the array will be triggered, even larger objects will not work."
There was a slight sweat on Qian Kunzao's forehead. He sent his spiritual thoughts to the formation plate and was able to appropriately adjust the position of the aura entering the imperial mausoleum.
I saw the aura slowly sinking after entering the imperial mausoleum.
Tsk!
A wisp of murderous intention suddenly appeared in the imperial mausoleum, and it strangled the aura cleanly. It was a true annihilation, leaving no trace at all.
"No matter what kind of artifact it is, it will be strangled and no trace of it will be saved." Qian Kunzao said.
"It is rumored that there is a fairy formation called the dust formation, which can destroy all things into dust..."
Before Huo Qubing finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and took a step back. At the same time, he sent out his strength and forced Qian Kunzao to take a step back.
A light green flame suddenly burst out from the crack in the shaft.
There is no temperature, but you can feel the powerful destructive energy within it, which is the soul-burning fire in the imperial mausoleum.
The flame disappeared as soon as it appeared and sank into the ancient well.
Qian Kunzao's face turned pale: "When delivering things to the imperial mausoleum, sometimes you are lucky enough to be able to deliver them to the ground inside the mausoleum. Otherwise, it would be like this, being strangled cleanly.
But even if something is sent to the ground, it won't be destroyed for long.
Of the things we have tried to send in so far, only the Taoist slips can resist the aura of the imperial mausoleum and are not damaged!"
"Zonghengdao has been researching for so long, and this is what it came up with?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Qian Kunzao: "Marquis Huo doesn't know something. The starry sky map on the top wall of the imperial mausoleum contains countless mysteries. It is said to be an ancient fairy. It will not be easy for us to uncover its secrets.
And there are many similar arrangements in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."
"I once read a secret scroll, which said that many artifacts handed down from ancient times were placed in this mausoleum by Emperor Qin. It even caused a fault in the artifacts passed down from ancient times, and they were buried in this imperial mausoleum for an era.
How difficult it is for human beings to unravel the layout inside."
Huo Qubing thought deeply and said: "The formations in the imperial mausoleum must be connected with each other in order to cooperate, otherwise there will be loopholes."
Qian Kunzao nodded, he also understood this.
"So the Qin Terracotta Army formation on the ground and the star map on the top wall echo each other.
In this case, by observing the military formation on the ground, we can reversely deduce some of the operating rules of the ceiling above.
Once there are rules up and down, we can get a glimpse of the context of entry and exit."
Qian Kunzao: "I have considered what Huo Hou said, but it is very difficult to deduce it in practice."
Huo Qubing rationalized his thoughts: "When I came in, I heard from the mausoleum guardian above that the array of warriors in the imperial mausoleum was set up by two military strategists, Wu Anjun and Wang Jian."
Huo Qubing was most familiar with the battle formations that Bai Qi was good at, and his marching method was derived from Bai Qi.
"Since the formation of figurines in this mausoleum was created by Bai Qi, it must be in the same vein as the formation map he handed down from generation to generation. If you look closely at its position, it is slightly similar to the Nine True Octagonal Battle Formation in the book.
The military position is nine, corresponding to the eight corners, and the birth gate is combined with yin and yang..."
Huo Qubing pondered for a moment and then said:
"It's just after midnight. Take the three military positions in the order of Doulie and Kun. Treat the underground palace of the emperor's mausoleum as a battlefield. Count the thirty-six kuns from the left, and the corresponding ones should be the Shengmen. If there is no Shengmen to leak,
, the operation of the array will be sluggish...so the student position will not be wrong."
Qian Kunzao was slightly shocked.
He had studied the layout of imperial tombs for many years and could understand what Huo Qubing said, but he thought that the champion's deduction speed was too fast.
He imitated what Huo Qubing said in his mind, and a strange feeling vaguely arose, but he couldn't say what it was exactly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the service room.
Huo Qubing stopped calculating and came to the Tongmen. A guard stood outside and reported to him in a low voice: "Huo Hou, we have made arrangements... Chief Cao Niang went there in person."
In the dressing room, Qian Kunzao's face slowly showed some uncontrollable excitement:
"Huo Hou, let's try again according to the method you said? I'm not proficient in the art of troop position calculation...but what you said helped me figure out some obstacles."
Tao Zun also took a look at the imperial mausoleum. He asked Huo Qubing to help complete the five-army formation of his Taoist sect.
This is not the first time that Dao Zun has seen his talent against Tu Yiyi.
Therefore, it was not surprising to Taoist Master that Huo Qubing could quickly figure out the number of figurines in the imperial mausoleum.
At this time Huo Qubing came back.
The ancient well in his consciousness would start to vibrate with a special rhythm whenever it was close to the formation of the imperial mausoleum.
"The array of the imperial mausoleum becomes more dangerous the closer it gets to the center. The position near the middle hall of the imperial mausoleum is sealed by the air of death, leaving no room for life.
Trying to deduce a safe way to enter the imperial mausoleum cannot be done in a short time, so let’s go first.”
Huo Qubing gave up his plan to enter the imperial mausoleum immediately and walked out instead. After going out, he ordered: "Seal this side hall and strictly prohibit entry and exit."
Dao Zun followed up from behind and whispered: "Do you have any other arrangements?"
Huo Qubing didn't answer but asked: "What other arrangements?"
"When King Huainan escaped from your hands, I felt something was wrong."
The Taoist Master muttered: "You had a hundred thousand troops at that time, how could anyone stop you even for a moment? If you tried to stop them just a little bit, Dong Zhongshu would be able to take action and keep the people behind.
Even if they have a special way to break free from your battlefield qi in an instant, why don't you pursue them afterwards?
The last time Zi appeared, you could roughly grasp his location by relying on the aura imprinted on him in the Book of Ten Thousand People.
This time King Huainan was injured by you, and he was seriously injured by the Chixiao Sword. You can't feel his position? Isn't it strange that you can't even chase him?"
"How do you know I didn't chase you?" Huo Qubing said amusedly.
Dao Zun suddenly understood: "Did you discover something new and temporarily let King Huainan go? What are you doing?
That’s not right, the situation at that time didn’t look like you let him go..."
Huo Qubing avoided answering: "There is a problem at hand. There may be other secrets hidden in the Lishan Secret Palace. Let's find out first."
At this time, Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Tang, Jiang Yan and others came to join them one after another, and Tao Zun did not ask any questions.
"Qian Kunzao, is there any secret or special place in this underground palace?"
Qian Kunzao said: "There is a place at the bottom. The Great Master does not allow anyone to enter. I don't know if it is a secret."
In a short while, the group of people followed Qian Kunzao to the bottom floor of the underground palace, outside a closed entrance.
The surroundings are illuminated by the light of torches.
The Imperial Guard opened a stone slab about three feet in diameter on the ground, revealing the steps going down diagonally. The interior was dark and dark.
This is like a cellar at the bottom of an underground palace.
Some imperial troops went in to investigate and soon came back with a report: "The interior area is not large, and there are signs of human activity and habitation."
Everyone immediately went in to check.
The interior is like a simple underground dormitory, with beds and low mats for sitting and sleeping.
On one side of the wall, there is a corridor that extends straight in one direction.
After the group entered, they saw a copper wall at the end of the stone corridor. It was a large wall made of copper bricks, like the outer wall of a city, with dense incantations engraved on it.
"The outer wall of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum." Jiang Yan observed.
Someone once lived in this cave for a long time, and a tunnel was dug to reach the outer wall of the imperial mausoleum.
Between the end of the corridor and the outer wall of the imperial mausoleum, there is a stone platform with a smooth surface. It seems to be a place for meditation.
The scene is inexplicably weird.
Someone is hibernating underground, close to the outer wall of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, meditating?
Huo Qubing looked at it carefully: "Someone once lived here in secret and stayed for a long time..."
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the stone platform left behind after meditating next to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. After a moment, he retracted his finger and said with a slightly solemn expression: "This person's practice is at least above the six realms of heaven and man."
"On what basis did Huo Hou make his judgment?"
"This stone platform has been used by people sitting cross-legged day and night, and a little bit of its breath remains."
Bai Nanyu tried it, but she didn't feel anything. Is she too slow?
While Huo Qubing was talking, he sat cross-legged on the stone platform next to the outer wall of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, with his eyes lightly closed, trying to promote strength cultivation.
Suddenly, Huo Qubing heard a special sound, which seemed to be coming from the imperial mausoleum, very low and weak.
He opened his eyes and suddenly said: "I know who is sitting here. It was him who saved King Huainan!"
After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he turned to look at the copper wall of the imperial mausoleum behind him.
