After ensuring safety, Yu Yi raised the torch and entered the aisle, but he walked very fast for fear of something else happening.

The aisle was about several hundred meters long. After coming out of the aisle, what came into view was a hall. Yuyi raised the torch and looked around, and found that there was an oil lamp on the wall. He quickly lit it, and the brightness of the hall instantly became much brighter. , Yuyi found that this was not an ordinary hall, it was more like a garden, because not far ahead, there was a small arch bridge, and the surrounding plants were actually growing well and lush. He subconsciously looked up and found There are no gaps on top, which means that direct sunlight cannot come in. It is incredible that plants can grow so lushly.

There is a flowing water under the pontoon, but the area is very small, more like a stream, but the speed of the water is very fast, and its direction is from west to east. If this scene were placed in the palace of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, it would not be the same. It would be inferior, but it is a pity that it has been sleeping here forever. If Yuyi hadn't discovered it, it's unclear how long it would have stayed there.

After passing the pontoon, there is a structure similar to the mountain gate of Baima Temple behind, with one gate and three holes. The difference is that this side is sealed by rocks. In the middle of the gate stands a statue, holding a book in its hand, as if It's reading.

Yu Yi carefully observed the appearance of the statue. Its hair was standing up, there was a tool on top of its head, its clothes were robes, its eyebrows and beard were very long, and there were some broken hair on the sideburns. The eyes were relatively small, but the nose Quite tall, with big ears and a smiling face.

Soon Yuyi discovered that the blurry scene in the light and shadow was exactly the same as the statue. Could it be that he was guiding it?

In front of the statue, there is a stone slab with words engraved on it. The font is clearly Xiaozhuan, which reads Lu Buwei.

Finally, Yu Yi figured out that the Lu Family Tomb was actually the tomb of Lu Buwei, the hero of the Warring States Period. This was a very famous legendary figure who was well-versed in politics and business. It was just a historical rumor that he was eventually demoted and died after drinking poisonous wine. On the way to the fiefdom, I didn’t know if it was true or not, but this cemetery belonged to him, so there was definitely nothing wrong with it.

After bypassing the statue, Yu Yi came to the sealed cave. He found that there was a candlestick with a handle on the edge of the cave on the left and right. The top of the candlestick was empty. This structure is easy to make people feel. It can be seen that it is the mechanism of the gate.

Just when Yu Yi was about to turn the candlestick, there were some noises from around him, which immediately aroused Yu Yi's alert. He turned around and looked around, but found nothing unusual, so he focused his gaze again. Get on top of the candlestick.

This time, he looked up and down the candlestick and took a closer look. He found that there seemed to be some gaps in the doorway corresponding to the candlestick, and he didn't know what they were for.

Yu Yi, who likes reverse thinking, thought that the mechanism was so simple. He might have some other agenda. If a tomb robber came in and easily opened the mechanism and got in, it would not be in vain to build such a magnificent underground tomb.

Yuyi deduced that this candlestick must be a bait. After opening it, some dangerous things would definitely emerge from the gaps he observed, such as poisonous fog or other deadly things, which must not be touched.

With this train of thought, he returned to the starting point, which was the statue, ready for further observation. He bowed to the statue again and again, showing his respect for the owner, and then walked around the statue to examine it carefully. Finally, he looked around the statue. An obvious color difference in the skin color was found on the back.

Without thinking, Yu Yi gently touched that part with his left palm. As soon as he touched it, that part was pressed in. The floor under Yu Yi's feet disappeared immediately, and he moved into another room. .

This room is not as spacious as the outside. Fortunately, there are ready-made lighting lamps all around. Just like in the previous period, Yu Yi lit them one by one.

Under the light, Yu Yi discovered that in the middle of the room, there was an alchemy furnace two people high, with a silvery light all over it. There was a black long sword hanging on the surrounding wall, as well as black armor and a hat, and a side The chess piece with "Lu" written on it.

There were some pictures painted on the wall on the other side, with some text around them. Yu Yi read along the text and illustrations and learned the real situation.

It turned out that Qin Shihuang Yingzheng had always hated Lu Buwei, and later wanted to kill the Prime Minister Lu Buwei. However, because he had made great contributions to serving the late king, and many guests and debaters interceded for him, the King of Qin could not bear to punish Lu Buwei.

In October of the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei was dismissed from the post of prime minister. When Mao Jiao, a native of Qi, persuaded the King of Qin, the King of Qin went to Yongdi to welcome the Queen Mother Zhao and made her return to Xianyang, but sent Lu Buwei out of the capital to the fiefdom in Henan.

More than a year later, guests and envoys from various vassal states came in an endless stream to greet Lu Buwei. The King of Qin was afraid that he would launch a rebellion, so he wrote to Lu Buwei: "What contribution have you made to the State of Qin? The State of Qin granted you a place in Henan, with a settlement of 100,000 households. What kind of blood relationship do you have with the King of Qin? You are called Zhongfu. You and All the family members moved to Shu!"

When Lu Buwei thought that he was gradually being persecuted and feared that he would be killed in the future, he drank poisonous wine and committed suicide.

This would have been the end, but this was just a part of Lu Buwei's plan. It was impossible that a person like him, who could play well in political and business environments, would be forced to commit suicide by a young boy.

It turns out that Lu Buwei's cup of poisonous wine was not really poisonous wine, but was formed by refining an elixir. That elixir has a magical effect. After taking it, people will feel abdominal pain and then vomit it. Blood, fainting, and loss of breathing, but he will wake up normally after three days and everything will return to normal.

All this was a plan of Lu Buwei. He had been operating in the fiefdom for more than ten years and had thousands of customers. Lu Buwei spent his life savings to build this gorgeous underground palace. After the fake death incident, Lu Buwei went underground and started refining. A life of making elixirs.

Underground, he sent people to recruit many Taoist priests and discussed various methods of refining elixirs. This matter lasted for a long time, and his real purpose was to achieve immortality.

Seeing this, Yu Yi felt that his views were refreshed. He did not expect that Lu Buwei was also interested in immortality. You must know that Qin Shihuang also did such a thing in his later years. In order to live forever, he even let Xu Fu take him with him at any cost. 500 boys and girls went to the sea to find the so-called overseas elixir, but all in vain.

Suddenly Yuyi heard the sound again. This time he finally found the source of the sound. It was a black insect as long as a person. Its body was full of mucus, which made people feel sick. Wherever it passed, white bubbles appeared on the ground. Bubbles, I don’t know what chemical reaction occurred.

In desperation, Yu Yi shot out the flying knife. The direction he aimed was the insect's mouth. He originally thought it would kill him with one strike, but the insect seemed to feel something entering its mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. After swallowing, he did not forget to lick it. Licking his tongue.
