Weird words!
Carved on the wall!
The twists and turns reveal a bit of evil, and the breath of time has not let it settle, but it has become more and more weird!
Just by looking at it, it seemed to automatically ring in my ears, making my breath short and my scalp numb! !
'tick'
'tick'
The underground river flows quietly, and the moist water vapor condenses into water droplets on the rocks above the underground river channel, and slowly drips down.
At this moment, old man Li Yunshan felt a chill down his spine, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees. The already dark and damp underground river became even colder and colder.
"What's this?"
"Why are there so many weird words?"
After a long time, old man Li Yunshan finally spoke. He was obviously shocked by the words on the wall.
"Not sure"
"I've never unearthed such a weird place"
"and"
An old archaeologist answered, his voice trembling a little. He pointed a flashlight at the walls in all directions, and the incandescent light illuminated the surroundings like daylight.
as expected.
There are more traces and words emerging on the surrounding roads.
"besides."
I walked forward cautiously, but became more and more frightened as I walked.
Because they discovered that in this underground river, the surrounding rocks were all filled with various broken traces.
Countless scratches and carvings are scattered around, and various huge rocks are broken and broken.
Especially those confusing words all along the road!
These carved words are all messy and complicated, and the strokes are extremely messy. It is obvious that the carver was in an extremely mental state when doing all this.
"Can't tell, really can't tell? What does this mean?"
Looking at the chaotic and twisted words, everyone felt uncomfortable all over, as if they had come to some unclean place, and the skin on the back of their necks could not stop tightening.
"With so many words, who carved them here?"
"Shouldn't this be the relics left by the original emperor Ying Zheng when he came to the throne? According to Lao Lu's original historical record, he ordered the construction after he ascended the throne."
"but now."
"Why is this happening here?"
Everyone walked here cautiously, and there was silence in the dark river.
The cold river flowed, and the white flashlight illuminated the entire underground river very clearly.
But even so, when walking in this underground river, everyone is still holding a string in their hearts, filled with fear, looking around with wide eyes, as if there are some beasts and fears lurking in the darkness, He would pounce on them at any time and bite them to pieces.
"Continue?"
"Let's look further ahead."
Now, in fact, even old archaeologists like Li Yunshan, who have experienced countless battles and fallen to graves, are a little scared.
This underground river is so weird. What are these words?
Who would carve this out here?
And how did those beast-like claw marks leave behind?
Looking at the words on the surrounding walls, an incredible thought poured into old man Li Yunshan's mind.
"etc."
He hurriedly came to the scratches on the wall and carefully stretched out his hand to measure the claw marks.
After a moment, old man Li Yunshan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a chill in his back!
Because he discovered that the distance between the claw marks on these walls was about the same width as his palm!
Find the five claw marks, put your hand on them, and lightly scratch them. It can almost fit the lines of these claw marks perfectly!
“!!!!!!”
At this moment, not only old man Li Yunshan, but also the many remaining old archaeologists were shocked!
I just felt a numbness on my scalp and goosebumps all over my body!
What the hell is this?
Why does it fit so well?
Aren't these the claw marks left by wild beasts?
Why does it fit so perfectly with the human hand? !
Looking at the surrounding caves, everyone trembled with excitement at this moment!
Messy words were carved on the broken walls, filled with twisted and filthy words.
It's like being possessed by a demon, just looking at it makes people uneasy!
Those silent words seemed to penetrate into his ears across thousands of years!
And besides that, this place is full of collisions and random claw marks.
One after another, covering the entire underground river!
The dazzling flashlight shines out, and at this moment, everyone's vision seems to have spanned the ages and come to a thousand years ago.
They seemed to see figures covering their heads, with torn clothes and red eyes, struggling and roaring in the deep underground river!
The facial features are ferocious and the appearance is distorted.
Their hands were bloody and bloody, and they were gouging out large lines on the huge wall. As if they had no sense whatsoever, they were frantically destroying everything around them!
The flashlight flashed.
The ancient illusion disappeared.
But it made all the old archaeologists’ pupils shrink! !
Just now
what's going on?
Difficult, could it be that this place is really left by the people from the past?
But how is this possible! !
If beasts can leave traces on the walls, and it can be explained by the presence of claws, it can barely be explained, then why do humans leave so many traces on the walls! !
Do they carry special weapons or something? Was there ever a fight here?
But that’s not right either!
Obviously not long ago, a jade slip and stone tablet recording the death of the First Emperor was discovered, so where did the fight come from!
The icy cold wind blew in my ears.
In the gloomy underground river, almost all the old archaeologists shivered and felt cold from head to toe!
Having devoted themselves to archeology for so many years, they have inspected a total of eight hundred or so large and small relics, but they have never been like this Qilian Mountain underground sewer. There is an unimaginable weirdness everywhere!
Even when the ancient cemeteries were being excavated, they were not so evil!
"what to do?"
"Do you want to continue the investigation?"
An old archaeologist asked again, with deep fear in his words.
It was all so weird, he had never experienced anything like this.
Even old man Li Yunshan has begun to give in!
After wandering around the Qilian Mountains for so many days, I finally found a place like this? Something is so wrong!
Looking at the twisted words on the surrounding walls, old man Li Yunshan gritted his teeth. After a long time, he spoke as if he was willing to fight.
"Let's go further and take a look!"
"It's impossible for anything to survive after all these years."
"I have a hunch that the truth lies ahead."
"We are already here. If we go back now, we will miss the mark!"
Hearing what Old Man Li Yunshan said, many old archaeologists all looked a little ugly and turned slightly pale.
But in the end, they gritted their teeth and followed Li Yunshan, walking towards the deeper darkness.
In the dark and cold underground river, Old Man Li Yunshan and his group of six people were shocked by the words left thousands of years ago. Their scalps were numb and their whole bodies were trembling.
But they finally chose to move forward, stepping heavily on the icy river and walking along the ferocious and twisted boulder ruins.
The footsteps go farther and farther.
Time passed, and the dampness had not yet arrived, the tide that poured into the cave had not yet arrived.
The cave was still dry, but an unlucky young Legalist disciple was roaring at the top of his lungs.
Outside the cave, many Legalist elders in the Qilian Mountains looked increasingly sad.
"Is everything done?"
In the narrow conference room, there were a dozen old men and a few young people sitting here.
Many legal experts headed by Li Weizhi are no longer what they used to be.
Even worse than before.
Although they looked ugly and frowned before, they still had energy and were able to shout loudly.
But now, every one of them is pale, haggard, and extremely weak.
Just like a dying old man, he seems to burp when the wind blows him.
Especially his mental state, he was extremely depressed. He sat sluggishly in his seat, staring at the table without speaking.
"The time is almost here."
silence.
There was a long silence.
Still no one answered.
The person who spoke was Li Si, not Li Weizhi. This former representative of the Legalists of the Qin Dynasty was completely desperate. In the past few days of constructing and compiling the Human Emperor Scripture, he had gone crazy twice.
The most important one was that his whole body was covered with black grass blades.
Because Li Si's cultivation level is lower, his realm is lower, and he is younger, he is in a better position to face all this.
But it's not much better.
At this time, Li Si was also unshaven, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at two dark circles that looked like they had been hammered, and his eyes were so sleepy that only a slit could be left there.
The once elegant demeanor of a legal scholar has long since been relegated to a corner.
In fact, not only Li Si and the people in the council, but almost all the Legalists in the Qilian Mountains looked like this!
In the last ten days, almost all the Legalists tried their best to revise the Human Emperor Sutra and get rid of this obsessive nature!
Regardless of their level of cultivation, state or not, even ordinary Legalist disciples have volunteered themselves as guinea pigs to practice the improved Human Emperor Sutra!
Almost all the Legalists have learned this Human Emperor Sutra and made great efforts!
They revise day and night, frantically studying the many cultivation methods and formulas of various schools of thought, integrating them into them, and revising them smoothly.
During this process, basically all Legalist Qi practitioners, regardless of their level of attainment, fell into obsession at least once!
Fortunately, as soon as they were discovered, the obsession was not complete. Except for a few people who did not pretend to have symptoms for the time being, the rest of their lives were safe.
But even so!
Still useless!
After revising the Human Emperor Sutra countless times, something is still wrong!
It’s the same illness, but it’s still the same obsession!
But after just a few glances, he would no longer collapse and lose his mind on the spot like before.
This can be considered a success, right?
Li Si thought silently and rubbed his eyes. He dragged the dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping for more than ten days and forced himself to speak.
"Can I modify it again?"
Hearing this, the old Legalists who had been sitting there, motionless like zombies since they came to the meeting, suddenly seemed to have been touched by something. Finally, for the first time since attending the meeting, they action.
"No, not anymore"
An old Legalist man gasped, his voice was small, he was almost half-broken, and he spoke in a breathy voice.
"That's all."
"If we continue to modify it"
"Everyone is gone"
The other Legalist elders also raised their heads, swaying, their eyes dull, and their faces bloodless.
Seeing this scene, Li Si had no choice but to put away the bamboo slips on the table.
"That's it. The day after tomorrow is the time to report all this to the king."
"Seniors, thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest for now."
Almost as soon as Li Si finished speaking, many elders from the Legalist family fell asleep.
In just one or two seconds, they snored loudly, shed tears, and took their first break in more than two months.
In order to welcome Ying Zheng tomorrow, Li Si also huddled in the corner and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Si was woken up.
"Thank you for your hard work, the time has come. Tomorrow is the deadline. I wonder how the compilation of the Human Emperor Sutra is going?"
Zhao Tuo's calm voice sounded at the door.
When many of the elders and jurists heard this, they all swallowed their saliva.
In the end, you looked at me, I looked at you, and Li Weizhi had the courage to speak.
"Most of it has been compiled, but there is still a little bit left. Just a little bit. Sir, how about you give me a little more time?"
"The king's order is tomorrow, and I have given it a lot of time." Zhao Tuo replied calmly, with an irresistible coldness in his words: "If the time is up and the compilation is not completed, you will bear the consequences."
Hearing this, Li Weizhi and a group of other old men looked bitter.
After Zhao Tuo left, they immediately jumped up and revised the Human Emperor Scripture carefully several times.
But there has been no improvement in the Human Emperor's Sutra for more than two months, so what's the use of just relying on it for one day?
Finally, when the time came, they finally bit the bullet and selected a few representatives. After washing carefully and putting on a set of clean and neat clothes, they followed Zhao Tuo and headed to Xianyang City.
The tall and formidable Xianyang City is as majestic as it was a few months ago.
Walking on the street, there are traces of life everywhere, feeling the smoke and smoke of the world around them. The old Legalists, who have been in the dense jungle for two full months and are almost insane, are all on the verge of tears and excitement.
However, this excitement stopped abruptly after arriving at the Qunshu Palace in Xianyang Imperial City.
After the tall man pressed the table, Ying Zheng was as calm as he had been a few months ago. He was sitting quietly in the ancient study room, wearing a black gold robe and cloak, solemn and majestic, with piles of government affairs placed in front of him.
Zhao Tuo stood in the distance, and Li Weizhi, Li Si, and three other Legalists came forward respectfully and bowed their heads in worship.
"See your Majesty!"
"Long live the king!"
"Get up." A calm voice said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Wei and others stood up respectfully.
Only then did they have the intention to take a look at Ying Zheng in the aftermath.
Compared to a few months ago, Ying Zheng's aura seemed to be deeper.
He was sitting behind a wide desk, his eyes as dark as ink seemed to have infinite wisdom flowing through them, and his divine light opened and closed, glaring from side to side.
Seeing this scene, Li Wei and others were surprised.
After just two months of absence, the king's aura seems to be more dignified, and the demeanor that belongs to the king has become more majestic, vaguely, and already somewhat comparable to the previous king.
Especially Li Si, this was the first time he had been so close to Ying Zheng, and he was even more surprised.
With such rich majesty as a king, it is no wonder that even those who were as shrewd as the Prime Minister said there was no need to worry. The secret was really deep.
Is this the true face of Mr. Zheng?
Li Si thought silently, feeling quite shocked.
But this shock did not last long before it was interrupted.
"How are you prepared for the compilation of the Human Emperor's Sutra?"
Hearing this, the hearts of Li Weizhi and Li Si suddenly started beating!
"Report to Your Majesty! Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the ministers and others have lived up to their orders, and the Human Emperor's Sutra has been compiled." Li Weizhi stepped forward and spoke.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and gave a rare compliment.
"good."
"The compilation can be completed within two months. Is it true that Gu Guo has never misjudged the ministers? I heard that Aiqing studied the methods of hundreds of schools of thought when compiling the Human Emperor's Scripture?"
"Yes, your Majesty is wise."
Li Weizhi answered respectfully, his heartbeat speeding up even more. He swallowed for Wu Cha, his white hair seemed to be trembling, and he spoke tactfully.
"But Your Majesty, this Human Emperor's Sutra contains many things and is extremely difficult to practice. Although the King's talents can definitely be practiced, you still need to be cautious during the cultivation process."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng nodded slowly and spoke calmly, "Bring it here and let me take a look."
"yes."
Li Weizhi waved, and Li Si stepped forward, raised his hands respectfully above his head, and presented a scroll that had been revised countless times.
An attendant eunuch came forward, respectfully took it and placed it in front of Ying Zheng.
Looking at the bamboo slips, which looked extremely heavy and were engraved with the three characters "Human Emperor Sutra", Ying Zheng nodded.
Then he stretched out his hand, and was caught in the anxious eyes of Li Si and Li Wei.
I slowly started reading through it.
