Liang Tong knew that if he wanted to live forever, he would have to pay a huge price, but he didn't expect that this method would be so heart-wrenching. Even a murderer like him who had spent half his life fighting on the battlefield and had countless lives on his hands would have chills running down his spine.
"This method is too extreme. I need to consider it. You can go down first." After a long ideological struggle, Liang Tong was still undecided. The matter was so big that there was no room for carelessness. How could he make a decision in just a few words.
Let the old man step aside first and wait until he thinks about it himself before making any plans.
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This method was indeed too harmful to Tianhe. He was afraid that King Liang would use it, but he was also afraid that King Liang would not use it. When King Liang asked him to leave first, he immediately felt as if he had been pardoned, bowed respectfully and walked out of the palace.
After the old man left, Liang lay on the same side of the bed, constantly weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. First of all, this old man is definitely not a good person, and he definitely had bad intentions in offering this method. Thinking of this, Liang Tong suddenly remembered a film and television clip on the earth, the story of the iron-faced dove occupying the magpie's nest, which is very similar to this moment.
The old man looked like an immortal and an expert from this world. But if he was really an expert from this world, how could he join the world and seek refuge with him? Moreover, he had such a vicious plan. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to live forever until everything was ready. He enjoys it, but I bear the insults.
Thinking of this, Liang Tong couldn't help but fell into deep thought. If he could live forever until he could see the era he was familiar with again, even if he had to bear the infamy for eternity, it wouldn't be impossible. But he was afraid that in the end he would end up being a piece of cake. Not only would he become a wedding dress for others, but he would also be cast aside by future generations. This was something he could never accept.
But he specializes in the art industry, and he doesn't understand these strange techniques. Even if the old man leaves behind some tricks, he is afraid that he won't be able to tell. Thinking of this, Liang Tong can't help but get a headache.
In the next few days, Liang Tong locked himself in the palace, leaving full power over the affairs of the court to the prime minister, while he meditated hard to find a perfect solution.
Seven days later, when all the courtiers could hardly hold themselves back, Liang Tong finally walked out of the palace. It's a pity that the enemy is at hand, and the king has ignored the court for many days. Each of these courtiers is so anxious that their mouths are almost blistering. Now that they saw King Liang leaving the palace, everyone immediately felt relieved, and the entire royal city seemed to have come alive.
Liang Tong summoned the old man immediately after leaving the customs. The two discussed for a long time. On that day, the entire Liang Kingdom took action. Countless people gathered towards the original territory of the Yan Kingdom. At the same time, countless craftsmen were also busy building something. .
Spring passed and autumn came, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three years, King Liang had mobilized the whole country. In fact, except for those who stayed in the fields, even the soldiers participated in the construction of the mausoleum, and finally the mausoleum that the old man mentioned was completed.
The Qin State was busy taking over the land abandoned by the Liang State and did not launch an attack on the Liang State. Now that the mausoleum was completed, most of the Liang State's soldiers and civilians also moved to the area around this unprecedented mausoleum.
The State of Qin has also taken over all the land that the State of Liang gave up. Now the tiger is not far away. As soon as King Qin's order to attack comes, he will launch the final charge against the State of Liang.
At this time, King Liang and the old man were sitting at the highest point, overlooking the Qin army in the distance.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Now we are just waiting for the final bloody battle. Please move into the mausoleum and prepare to complete the final arrangements."
Liang Tong did not respond to him, but after taking one last look at the Qin army in the distance and the subjects at his feet, he walked into the tomb.
Three days later, the King of Qin's decree came and launched the final general attack on Liang Guo.
At the same time, the old man walked out of the mausoleum holding the Liang Wang Sword.
"What a precious sword!" The old man looked at the Liang Wang Sword in his hand, like a pervert looking at a beautiful woman, and his eyes were eager to press on it.
It's not that this old man has good eyesight, Liang Wangjian's extraordinary quality can be seen even with a black blind man.
This Liang Wang Sword was made by Liang Tong from the meteorite copper captured during the burning, killing and looting. At that time, the young nobleman was kneeling on the ground with snot and tears bragging about how good and extraordinary the meteorite copper was. Liang Tong thought he was being gibberish. He kept tilting and cut him with a knife.
After the Liang Wang Sword was forged later, in addition to being hard and sharp, it only had a slight hallucinogenic effect, which was far from being as extraordinary as the little noble boasted.
But later, as Liang Tong fought on the battlefield, countless souls died under Liang Wang's sword, and the hallucinogenic effect of Liang Wang's sword became stronger and stronger.
Until now, except for Liang Tong, everyone who holds the Liang Wang Sword seems to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. At first, they are frightened and become depressed, and at worst, they are bewitched by the illusion and see whoever is killed.
At this time, the old man was holding the Liang Wang Sword and facing the illusion of a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and the sky filled with innocent souls. He was already at the end of his strength, and hurriedly ran to the deep hole dug in advance, threw the Liang Wang Sword into it, and then buried it with a bang. earth.
As the old man threw the Liang Wang Sword into the deep pit, the sky began to turn slightly red, like the sunset before sunset.
And as the old man gradually filled up the deep pit, the sky gradually turned from slightly red to a strange blood red. Seeing that the time had come, the old man quickly dropped the shovel in his hand and hurried into the tomb.
In the mausoleum, the old man stood in front of the coffin of King Liang, looked at the silent King of Liang in the coffin, and sighed: "You are indeed ruthless enough. Before I surrendered to you, I was still worried about how to convince you. I didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly. , It’s a pity that all this will be used as my wedding dress.”
The old man looked at Prince Liang in the coffin. Just when he was feeling complacent, he suddenly felt a little out of place, so he stared at Prince Liang's body carefully.
After looking at it for a long time, I still didn't realize what was the incongruity. No matter from the height or appearance, this was definitely King Liang.
"No matter, the body is here, how can it be faked?"
The old man who couldn't detect any incongruity simply stopped thinking about it and bent down to drag out Prince Liang's body.
"You're the only one who still wants to do that thing like the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind?"
The sudden sound frightened the old man so much that he straightened up and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Prince Liang walking slowly out of the shadows, looking at the dumbfounded old man in front of the coffin, and said with a horrifying smile: "I knew that the last person lying in this coffin would most likely be you."
"You, you, you, aren't you dead? Then who is in here?" The old man's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. His eyes kept looking back and forth between Prince Liang and the corpse in the coffin. He didn't understand why. There are two kings of Liang.
It's not that he has never seen the art of disguise, and he has also dabbled in it, but even the most advanced form of disguise will have subtle differences in body shape, appearance, and expression. How can there be two identical people.
Suddenly the old man seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head and glanced at the corpse in the coffin. He smiled miserably and said, "No wonder I feel a little awkward. A tiger cannot be defeated even if it dies. This corpse is too ordinary."
"Yes, what is fake is fake after all. You can pretend to be a king while you are alive, but your corpse will no longer deceive you."
"The King of Liang is the King of Liang after all. Even if the world says that King Liang is tyrannical and immoral, it is not something I can plot. I have learned a lesson."
The old man seemed to have lost his mind at this moment, sitting cross-legged on the ground, lamenting his ignorance.
"I just don't know when did your Majesty start to doubt Lao Chan?"
"When? I have never believed you. It's just that I have never been able to confirm which step you will take to cause trouble, and I don't understand your evil ways. That's why I have allowed you to live until now."
"What about this body?"
"He is a shadow that I have hidden for more than ten years. Not to mention you, even the prime minister can't tell the truth from the lies."
Liang Tong knew what he wanted to ask. A substitute was a good thing. He had trained this substitute for more than ten years and was loyal to him.
Liang Tong also ordered him to test the old man many times before, and only after confirming that the old man could not tell the truth from the false, he made up his mind to take the risk.
Now it seems that it is exactly as expected. The layout has been completed long ago. It only needs to wait for the end of the war outside to complete the deceiving pattern.
As long as the old man enters the main tomb chamber where only he and King Liang know the way before the end of the war, and lies in the coffin in the center of the pattern, he can wait for his awakening after a thousand years.
As for whether the person who wakes up will be a human being or some kind of monster, then it depends on whether this pattern of deceiving the sky can really deceive the sky.
The old man knew that he was completely defeated and there was no chance of him making a comeback. He immediately stood up and looked at Prince Liang and said calmly: "Let's do it."
Although the old man had some martial arts skills, he could be said to be incompetent when faced with Liang Tong, who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life, and he immediately stopped resisting.
Liang Tong was not polite to him, so he went up and killed him with a sword. Just in case, he divided the body into several sections and threw them into the burial pit together with the double in the coffin.
The burial pit was filled with craftsmen who participated in the construction of the mausoleum. After the mausoleum was built, the old man in charge stayed in the burial pit. It was exactly like this at that time. It was really very similar.
After all the dust settled, Liang Tong lay in the coffin. He could still vaguely hear the sounds of fighting outside. He then fumbled for a wine pot from his arms and drank the poisonous wine in the pot.
"First Emperor, I hope you can also find your elixir of longevity..."
Although Liang Tong also knew that according to the trajectory of history, the First Emperor did not find the elixir of longevity. Liang Tong also believed that although the First Emperor might not be able to guess Liang Tong's intentions now, when the day comes when he intends to live forever, he will naturally figure out the purpose of Liang Tong's arrangement today.
But Liang Tong also knew that even if the First Emperor knew this method and could take a chance on immortality, he would not be as crazy and desperate as Liang Tong. This is the reason why Liang Tong could not become the First Emperor no matter what.
Then the toxicity broke out and Liang Tong gradually died.
After Liang Tong committed suicide, the sword of King Liang buried above the mausoleum seemed to feel something, and the murderous and evil spirit around the sword suddenly surged.
A huge beam of red light suddenly shot out from above the mausoleum, and the entire battlefield seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood. The eyes of the soldiers fighting on the battlefield and the people behind them were filled with a captivating red light at this moment...
After a long time, the battlefield fell silent again, with corpses all over the mountains and plains. The resentment seemed to be condensing into substance, and the entire sky became gray.
Suddenly, the resentment that was almost condensed into substance all flowed in one direction, and finally merged into the sword of King Liang like a river flowing into the sea.
After Liang Wangjian absorbed all the resentment on the battlefield, he gradually disappeared into the deep pit.
At the same time, the entire battlefield suddenly shook, and then returned to calm. But compared with before, the battlefield at this time gave people a natural feeling, and it was extremely silent, so quiet that it seemed as if there was no life in the battlefield.
"What?! Nearly a million soldiers were wiped out?" In the Qin palace, Ying Zheng looked at the soldiers reporting below in disbelief.
Ying Zheng knew that although Liang was not as good as Qin, it could not be underestimated. At this time, there were only Qin and Liang in the Central Plains. As for the barbarians outside the Central Plains, they did not pose a threat to Qin for the time being, so he sent nearly one million people this time. The purpose of the army is to capture the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop.
But now the millions of troops have been wiped out. Even if King Liang is brave and good at fighting, it is impossible not to leave a single person alive.
Seeing that King Qin didn't believe it, the soldiers who came back from the message quickly added: "Your Majesty, not only our soldiers have been wiped out, but everyone in the Liang Kingdom is also dead!"
"Hurry up and tell the truth about the situation on the battlefield!"
King Qin was so angry that he almost fainted. You must know that Liang Tong had gathered all the people in Liang State around the battlefield.
Even excluding those who refused to leave and those who died on the way, there must be millions of people. How could everyone be dead up and down.
"Your Majesty, since the end of the war, I haven't seen the soldiers coming out of the battlefield for a long time, so I sent nearly a thousand scouts to investigate and see what happened."
Speaking of this soldier, he seemed to remember some horrific scene and said in a trembling voice: "Who would have thought that after entering the battlefield, nearly a thousand scouts acted as if they were possessed by a demon. They drew out their weapons and slashed at their comrades around them, killing and injuring most of them in a short time. ."
"Did any of you try to wake them up at that time?" Ying Zheng was also in disbelief. Hearing the soldier's description, it seemed as if he was confused by something, but he didn't know if he could wake them up.
"Yes, at that time, a few brothers saw that the words to stop them were ineffective, so they wanted to go in and pull them out. But who knew that those brothers were also fascinated after entering, and rushed forward with their swords drawn. Later, there were brothers who were more flexible. I suggested using a rope to try to pull out a few, but...but..."
The soldier hesitated when he said this, as if he thought of some horrific scene, his whole body began to tremble again.
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard how many people had been rescued, but when he saw the soldiers hesitated to speak, his heart suddenly pounded. He must have not rescued these people either.
"Don't worry, just say it boldly, I won't blame you."
The soldier calmed down and said bitterly: "We thought we had rescued them, but after we pulled them out, they all changed into different people. Some said they were someone from the Qin State, and some said they were from the Qin State. Said he was someone from the Liang Kingdom."
"And one person actually claimed to be my cousin, but my cousin had already rushed into the depths of the battlefield with the army, but he could tell things that only my cousin and I knew. It was already dark at that time, and I When I didn’t know what to do with them, I temporarily locked them up together and prepared to report to the king so that the king could deal with them.”
Ying Zheng also looked horrified when he heard that there was such a weird thing happening in the world. Hearing that they imprisoned those weird people, he immediately asked them where they were now.
Unexpectedly, what the soldier said next made Ying Zheng feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"The villain was tossing and turning at night, always recalling the scout talking to me in the tone of my cousin. The more I thought about it, the more weird and scary I felt. Before I knew it, it was the fifth watch, and I thought it was almost dawn anyway. , why not go check it out, maybe they will wake up now."
"Unexpectedly, when the villain went to the place where they were imprisoned, he saw that each of them turned green-faced, fanged, pale, and their fingernails became pitch black, extremely long, and extremely sharp. The villain was so frightened that he lost his ability and screamed. It woke up the other brothers, and when they came over and saw this scene, they were all frightened."
"Just when we didn't know what to do, it happened to be daybreak. The sun shone on them and bursts of black smoke came out. Soon they all turned into a pool of pus and blood. We knew that this was a serious matter and we must not delay it any longer. , so I was sent to report day and night."
Ying Zheng was also shocked after hearing this, but the First Emperor was the First Emperor after all, and he quickly calmed down. If according to what the soldiers said, there should be no survivors on the battlefield.
The question now is, how to deal with this evil battlefield? Judging from the current situation, it seems that the Liang King used some evil means to have his millions of troops buried with him and his Liang Kingdom.
It is absolutely impossible to send people into the battlefield again. If something evil is brought out from the battlefield, Qin will not have millions of soldiers to swallow it up.
But on the battlefield, the soldiers of Qin and Liang plus the people of Liang were probably five to six million people. If the battlefield was not cleaned up and the corpses were collected, a great epidemic would occur. The epidemic bred by five to six million people The poison will probably turn Liang Guo into a dead place.
After Ying Zheng weighed the pros and cons, he immediately decided to cut the knot quickly.
"Come here, pass the order. No one is allowed to enter the area where the battlefield is located. At the same time, quicklime is sprinkled around the battlefield. No one is allowed to enter or leave the Liang Kingdom area within three years!"
After issuing the order, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although a large area of land on the battlefield was lost, most of the Liang Kingdom's land was preserved, and the battlefield was located on the edge of the country, which can also be regarded as a natural barrier. , this barrier is much safer than an army of three to five million people.
On the battlefield, with the arrival of King Qin's decree, many soldiers stationed here breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this battlefield is too evil. If you can't go in, you must not go in. Immediately, the soldiers started working in full swing, and bags of quicklime were dumped on the edge of the battlefield.
Fortunately, Liang was in the north, and it was winter again. The soldiers worked hard for three months, hurrying and slowly, and finally sprinkled the edges of the battlefield before the corpses rotted.
After the completion, the soldiers retreated to the farthest place from the battlefield in the Liang Kingdom. There was no way the King of Qin had issued an order that the Liang Kingdom was not allowed to enter or leave for three years. They had to stay here for three years, and they could only return to the court after confirming that there was no obstruction.
The battlefield is also gradually changing. As the corpses rot, the entire battlefield is like hell, and the smell of corpses is everywhere.
After all the corpses rotted and were returned to the earth, the vegetation in the battlefield area not only did not flourish, but also gradually withered, until finally there was not even a blade of grass in the entire battlefield, let alone any living animals. In just three years, the battlefield The area became a desert.
The desert in the northeastern part of the Qin Dynasty has been an absolutely forbidden area since the end of the Warring States Period. Since the Qin Dynasty, no matter who is in charge of this land, they have tacitly designated this desert as a forbidden land. Regardless of whether they send people to explore secretly, but openly no one is allowed to approach...
"Are you sure that there is really treasure here?" The Japanese devil looked at the endless desert in front of him and asked uncertainly to the child who was leading the way.
"Some Taijun, I heard my grandfather say that this is the tomb of an ancient king. It is full of gold and silver treasures, but there are many dangerous mechanisms, so it can be preserved until now."
The child looked at the desert in front of him, fear flashing in his eyes, but when he turned his head and saw the endless Japanese soldiers in front of him, his fear was immediately replaced by determination.
"Xinxi, don't be afraid of the agency, we have cannons. Great work, let's go!" The Japanese commander was overjoyed when he heard the answer he wanted. With a wave of his hand, the army began to march towards the depths of the desert.
After more than two thousand years, when the army once again set foot on this desert, this ancient battlefield that seemed to have been forgotten by the world gradually came to life, and the horizon gradually filled with red clouds...
