Underground in the heart of the mountain.
Chi You struck down with his axe, but just before hitting the target, it suddenly stopped.
The ax blade hung slightly above something protruding from the copper wall.
Chi You is a Yin body and has no flesh and blood entity. His ax was also somewhere between virtual and real. This time it fell, there was no fluctuation in the airflow. Therefore, although the distance was close, it did not arouse the alertness of the thing.
It was Huo Qubing who stopped Chi You.
He used his Soaring Snake Eyes and saw clearly in advance that what was sticking out was a bronze tomb beast.
It stretched out its head from behind the copper wall, and where its eyes were, a cyan spell flashed.
This bronze beast is like a leopard, with a wide nose, bronze fangs below, and colorful patterns on its face.
The green light in its eye sockets was burning, as if it was looking at the scene outside the passage.
Huo Qubing not only stopped Chi You, but also used the method of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea to cover his aura and instantly disappear from sight, perception and other levels.
His consciousness was also restrained, and even the fluctuations in his soul were restrained.
Huo Qubing's series of reactions were because he realized that the copper beast was just a lure.
It's exploring the path... there's something behind it!
Chi You's changes were even more peculiar.
He shrank into an illusory shadow, very small in size, just attached to the copper wall, almost disappearing.
These changes were completed simultaneously in the blink of an eye with the copper beast's probe.
The copper beast stretched out its head from behind the wall, and the light of the green mantra in its eyes flickered. No abnormalities were found, and it slowly retracted into the copper wall.
Is this copper beast...a puppet, or something similar to the Mohist mechanism, a copper bull and a wooden horse?
It is not surprising that the terracotta warriors in the imperial tomb can move, and the bronze tomb beast can also move.
Just after he retracted his head, another figure vaguely appeared on the copper wall, as if he was about to come out of the mausoleum.
Then the shape of a hand bulged out from the ripples on the surface of the copper wall.
The figure behind the copper wall reaches out to touch the ripples on the periphery of the copper wall. The process is very slow.
Huo Qubing restrained his sight and touch to prevent the other party from sensing that he was being watched.
The hand sticking out from the wall is very slender and it is that of a woman.
She was trying to push the copper wall outwards.
When her hand appeared, Huo Qubing had a very special feeling, that is, his attention was unknowingly attracted and dragged towards it.
That hand seemed to be the most attractive thing in the world, with an inexplicable and enchanting beauty.
In his consciousness, the Lingpo Soldier Talisman vibrated slightly and its leaves glowed. Huo Qubing seemed to be withdrawn from the hallucination, and the power in his body flowed, suppressing the fluctuations affected by this hand.
Just the outline of a hand peeking out from behind the wall can have an impact on him.
This was the first time he encountered such a strange and powerful change.
The five fingers of that hand trembled, and the fingertips were as flexible as snakes. The movements were subtle, but the five fingers cooperated, as if infinite changes were captured between the palms of the fingers.
At this time, changes also occurred on the copper wall, and spells suddenly appeared, creating a lightning-like halo that suddenly struck the hand.
Huo Qubing heard a very sharp and frightened cry.
The hand was struck by lightning on the copper wall and became rotten and melted.
Two of her fingers were broken by the restraint, and bright red blood spattered out.
The figure standing behind the copper wall quickly retreated and disappeared.
Huo Qubing tried his best to push the real intention method of Teng Snake, and in the depths of his eyes, an imperceptible small incantation lit up, blessing his eyes.
His eyes passed through the ripples on the copper wall, and he vaguely saw a figure wearing a bright red palace robe, quickly disappearing behind the copper wall, disappearing into the depths of the imperial mausoleum, and all traces were lost.
The red shadow left and the copper wall began to calm down.
Chi You reappeared and put the ax into the copper wall to try, but no restriction was triggered.
He immediately walked into the ripples on the surface of the copper wall and broke into the imperial mausoleum.
It was Huo Qubing who asked him to go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look.
This imperial mausoleum has countless secrets and rare opportunities. Chi You is just the right person to go in.
After he entered, the copper wall was completely restored to its original appearance.
The change just now was obviously triggered by the red figure.
The copper beast that came out first was testing whether it was safe here.
She wants to come out of the imperial mausoleum...
But the restriction of the copper wall is like a trap waiting for prey, tempting the red figure to break through.
When she tested it with the copper beast, there was no restriction on the copper wall. However, once it was her turn to reach out her hand, a restriction penetrated her hand.
Does this mean that the restriction on the copper wall can specifically restrain the woman in red?
Huo Qubing summarized what he had observed, his thoughts fluctuating.
The last time he entered the imperial mausoleum, Dao Zun also said that he had seen a red figure, gorgeously dressed, who wanted to cling to the Taoist slips and follow him away from the imperial mausoleum.
After Huo Qubing and Dao Zun came out of the imperial mausoleum, they did an analysis and felt that the imperial mausoleum was not only preventing people from entering, but also preventing things inside from coming out.
The red figure was obviously one of them.
The last time I went in, the red figure was still in the inner city of the Imperial Tomb. This time when she came to the Imperial Tomb, she had already arrived at the outer wall area of the Imperial Tomb...
Did something happen in the imperial mausoleum that caused this red figure to escape?
Of course, Huo Qubing's inference was based on the premise that the red figure he saw twice was the same person!
He released his concealment state and revealed his body. His eyes were still staring at the copper wall of the imperial mausoleum, but he saw blood seeping out from the surface of the copper wall and flowing downwards.
On the copper wall, a mutilated bloody handprint appeared...
It was the blood left by the crushed hands of the red figure just now.
Soon after, the bloody hand disappeared, as if it was absorbed by the wall.
In the silent underground passage, only Huo Qubing remained.
He pondered for a moment and took out the jade slip he had used to send messages.
"Your Majesty, I found a hidden path close to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor..."
He contacted the emperor on the other side and his uncle Wei Qing again and told them how to enter the mountain. The entrance was in the eagle's nest on the cliff.
After breaking contact with the emperor, Huo Qubing's thoughts turned to Chi You.
Chi You entered the imperial mausoleum, and the connection with him became very weak, as if blocked by the copper wall of the imperial mausoleum.
Huo Qubing needed to concentrate on his spiritual thoughts to make the connection between himself and Chi You clear.
He passed Chi You and looked inside the imperial mausoleum.
Chi You is in a passageway to the imperial mausoleum that is about ten feet wide, with bronze walls still on both sides, nearly two feet high.
This tomb passage alone makes people marvel at the magnificence of the imperial tomb.
It stretches straight and has no end.
The inside and outside of the imperial mausoleum are like two worlds.
The red figure and the copper beast that first appeared were nowhere to be seen, and the tomb passage was empty.
On the copper walls on both sides of the tomb passage, the engraved array patterns overlap each other, forming a grand array system that is unimaginably complex.
"Fairy!"
With the help of Chi You, Huo Qubing saw a Qin seal character written on the bronze wall on the left side of the tomb passage at the entrance, which was the word "immortal".
The font contains an astonishing aura. It is just one word, but it seems to convey the writer's mind and artistic conception, and has its own charm.
Huo Qubing relied on the magnanimity of this word and compared it with the handwriting on some secret slips left by the Han Palace to determine that it was the handwriting of the First Emperor.
Chi You looked at the tomb passage on the right again, and another word came into his eyes - devil!
Fairies and demons...
Looking up, the third seal character is ' figurine '!
There is also the last word on the ground, which is 'town'!
Up, down, left and right are combined, and the four directions are connected together to form a 'figurine' to suppress 'fairies' and 'devils'!
Huo Qubing felt as if he had discovered some secrets of the imperial mausoleum.
The First Emperor personally wrote the four characters "terracotta warriors to suppress immortals and demons" at an entrance to the mausoleum, which was obviously used as a formation eye.
Are there immortals and demons suppressed in this mausoleum?
Chi You then walked to the depths of the mausoleum, followed the route taken by the woman in red, and began to explore the imperial mausoleum.
…
In the heart of the underground mountain, outside the copper wall, Huo Qubing suddenly turned around and looked in the direction he came from.
There are weak airflow changes in the void.
There was something moving on the way, causing airflow, and he felt it.
The thing was approaching his position at an alarming speed.
In a moment, two figures appeared deep in the passage they came from.
At first glance, they look like two Qin terracotta warriors... but they are actually two bronze terracotta warriors.
They emerged from the darkness, and after approaching, they saluted Huo Qubing: "Mr. Zhong Ling!"
"Your Majesty sent a message. The two of us were nearby and rushed over immediately."
Huo Qubing looked at the bronze warrior guard and thought that he seemed to be affected by some effect of the imperial mausoleum, but he failed to detect in advance that the bronze warrior guard was approaching.
The two bronze figurine guards, who had just used the wheel formation to rush on the road, had lost Huo Qubing and were wandering around the Qinling Mountains like a headless fly. After receiving the emperor's order, they successfully found the position and rushed to the nearest place according to the way Huo Qubing told them to enter the mountain. Come.
"You are here just in time, stay here first, and capture anyone who comes out of the copper wall if you can, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
Huo Qubing took action and presented a formation diagram with the effect of concealing the truth and blending it into the underground.
There are formation diagrams and two bronze figurine guards to cooperate with, and Chi You has just entered, so he can come back for reinforcements at any time, and people will arrive one after another in the future. This underground secret passage is a perfect situation for catching turtles in an urn.
It doesn't matter whether the person who entered the imperial mausoleum is a son or not.
He was trapped in the imperial mausoleum and could not escape easily.
"Don't touch this copper wall. Someone will come to help you later. You will change your value every quarter of an hour. When you rest, you should stay away from the copper wall a hundred feet away."
Two bronze figurine guards agreed in unison, one on the left and one on the right, standing outside the imperial mausoleum like door gods.
The practice of the two is exactly the bronze figurine technique passed down from the palace of Qin Dynasty.
They stood under the copper wall of the imperial mausoleum, matching each other inexplicably and in perfect harmony.
"Mr. Zhongling, on the way here, we walked into a fork in the road and found something related to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum.
You can go and have a look. "
A bronze figurine guard said that the location he passed by when he came was the place where Huo Qubing came out of the narrow gap in the mountain and the road widened.
At that time, he followed the guidance of the Lingye Soldier Talisman and chose to go deep into the mountain and outside the copper wall of the imperial mausoleum, but he did not have time to check the other end.
When the two bronze figurine guards came in, they walked to the other side of the passage without the guidance of the spirit talisman, and then turned back.
Huo Qubing agreed, turned around and left.
He planned to go to the Lishan Secret Palace and see through the skylight whether the royal city inside the imperial mausoleum had really changed, allowing the red figure to escape from the inner city.
Huo Qubing vaguely felt that this was very important.
The four words "terracotta warriors suppress immortals and demons" gave him many hints.
He is probably approaching some core secret of the imperial mausoleum.
Huo Qubing returned by the original route and soon came to the fork in the road mentioned by the bronze figurine guard.
He walked to the other end of the passage that he had not explored when he came and went.
The hillside was silent, and Huo Qubing's swift figure flashed away.
Not far away, he came to the end of the passage on the other side.
A burial pit for the imperial mausoleum appeared in front of him, which was comparable to the forging pit he had seen before.
What is surprising is that in addition to many Qin terracotta warriors standing in the burial pit, there are also more than ten huge coffins stacked up.
Copper coffins, stone coffins, stone urns, pottery jars... These coffins come in different shapes, corresponding to the funeral customs of different periods.
Legend has it that in order to monopolize Lishan Mountain, the First Emperor cleaned up the surrounding ground when building the mausoleum, and did not allow others to be adjacent to him.
Qinchuan has been the burial ground of emperors for thousands of miles since ancient times. There are no less than ten large tombs excavated by the First Emperor.
There are even tombs from ancient times.
These coffins in the burial pit... stone urns, copper basins, and pottery jars are all funeral customs from a long time ago.
So...these coffins were all removed from the ground by the First Emperor when he built the mausoleum.
More than a thousand Qin terracotta warriors surround the coffin, holding daggers in their hands. They are all fighting terracotta warriors. They stood around the coffins, as if they were imprisoning and suppressing these ancient coffins.
The focus of Huo Qubing's attention is the array of Qin Terracotta Warriors.
Although the scale is much smaller, the arrangement of these Qin terracotta warriors and the array of terracotta warriors in the imperial tomb are obviously similar.
Different from the Qin terracotta warriors of later generations, these Qin terracotta warriors are still colorful, and their armor is as new and lifelike.
Huo Qubing stood above the burial pit and looked down, checking the position of the Qin warriors' feet, and comparing them with the changes in the formation of the warriors he had mastered.
Those coffins showed signs of being opened, and apart from the corpses, nothing of value remained.
But Huo Qubing's powerful mental perception discovered that the grave was hollow.
There's even more room underneath.
His consciousness penetrated and he immediately realized that there was a huge stone tablet buried under the grave.
The stone tablet is like a pillar, supporting the burial pit, with Qin terracotta warriors standing above it to guard it.
The stone tablet reads: "In ancient times, the four poles of the sky..."
The font is still the handwriting of the First Emperor! !
The imperial mausoleum is also related to the four poles of the sky, the bronze pillar that once appeared in the sky!
Huo Qubing was attentive and silent, then suddenly reached out and took out something from the portable space that had evolved into Xiao Bing Mansion.
The last time I came to the Imperial Tomb, I entered the ancient well and brought out a few things.
Yellow Dragon Scales, and a jade sword.
The jade sword was the same as the one obtained by King Huainan.
At that time, Huo Qubing was still wondering how the same jade sword of King Huainan could appear in the ancient well.
Right now, the jade sword brought out from the ancient well in the imperial mausoleum was causing fluctuations.
Huo Qubing quickly recognized that someone had sent a message through the array sealed inside the jade sword.
This jade sword was one of the things used by the senior officials of Zonghengdao to convey messages, and Huo Qubing had known about it for a long time.
In the past, he had tried to contact the Zonghengdao people on the other side, but he had not found the correct method.
This was the first time that there was a fluctuation, coming from the jade knife, taking the initiative to contact him.
He thought for a moment and did not respond immediately.
The setting sun shines in the evening, and the maples in the sky are as red as fire.
When Huo Qubing came out of the cliff entrance into the mountain, there were already elite Han troops, and subsequent reinforcements entered the Qinling Mountains.
They also include two other bronze figurine guards.
There are thirteen bronze figurine guards in the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty.
It will be headed by a Zhonglang general.
No matter what the situation, there will be six people on duty in the palace.
The rest can be ordered to leave the palace to perform tasks and belong directly to the emperor.
"You guys will lead the imperial army in, thoroughly inspect the inside and outside of this mountain, seal the entrances and exits, and birds are not allowed to enter or exit." Huo Qubing ordered.
"only!"
The Han army and the bronze figurine guards came and agreed with a bang.
Huo Qubing stretched out his hand and pressed softly, and the mountain wall with the eagle's nest shattered silently, destroying the secret arrangement of access to the mountain.
He didn't care whether the 'zi' he was following would have a reaction, knowing that the restriction was broken, so he didn't dare to come out.
If he really didn't dare to come out, he might as well have died in the imperial mausoleum.
Huo Qubing jumped up and down, quickly returned to Lishan Mountain and entered the underground secret palace.
Qian Kunzao, the general of Zonghengdao and one of the original nine deities, also has a forbidden army stationed here for a long time.
"Lang Zhongling!"
As soon as Huo Qubing arrived, everyone came out to welcome him and accompanied him to the underground annex.
What secrets are hidden in the imperial mausoleum that make so many people try their best to get in and others try to find out?
Huo Qubing entered the side room and looked into the imperial mausoleum from the skylight.
At the same time, the emperor led Wei Qing and a group of imperial guards to Lishan Mountain.
What they brought along with them was the 'zi' they captured!
Ps: The next chapter should be over 4,500, and I guarantee it will be over 9,000 today. I will first make up for the missing chapter last night. Will add more later when I have time…
