"Champion Hou, how is the situation?"
Dong Zhongshu and others came forward with eager eyes.
"The son is dead!" Huo Qubing gave an affirmative answer.
The warriors are retreating.
The damage to the imperial mausoleum due to the battle will be slowly restored after the formation system is put into operation.
The Mausoleum of the First Emperor, blessed by the huge magic circle inside, is like a giant magic weapon. As long as it is not fundamentally damaged, it can be restored after a period of precipitation.
Those Qin generals also walked deep into the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Su was silent.
"Master wants to copy the shipbuilding skills of the Qin people. Just follow this group of warriors to the last chamber. We will meet up later." Huo Qubing said.
"What do you want to do?" Dao Zun asked.
"I want to go to the core of the Imperial City and have a look. There are some things I need to verify."
"I'll go with you."
Dao Zun didn't help much this time. The old man was a decent man, and he felt sorry for him, so he offered to take action.
Huo Qubing swayed slightly and caught up with General Qin who was retreating to the mausoleum and royal city.
"Do you still remember your last name?" Huo Qubing walked alongside him and asked.
This time there was a sudden movement in the imperial mausoleum, and three Qin generals were awakened.
Among them, the main general is the one who holds the big gun and enters the small world inside the coffin.
He heard Huo Qubing's question and thought for a long time: "My surname is Wang."
Wang, Bai, Li, and Meng were all famous generals in Qin, especially Wang, who had been generals in Qin for generations.
"You want to enter the imperial city?"
The general who was still bleeding from Da Ge said: "Although you are the selected contemporary general, the military power you have obtained does not include the central royal city."
So I want to go in with you... Huo Qubing changed the subject: "Do you know whether Emperor Qin... died?"
General Wang, who has a face with Chinese characters and long eyebrows slanting upward into his temples, looks very imposing:
"Your Majesty built a mausoleum, so of course he died!"
Tao Zun was listening on the side and felt a strange feeling.
Huo Qubing was in a mausoleum, talking with an ancient man from a hundred years ago.
And this ancient man, who was half alive and half dead, was a general of the Qin Dynasty, spanning two dynasties. There is nothing more strange in the world than this.
This imperial mausoleum is full of mysteries, and the figurines in front of me are part of them.
Huo Qubing said: "It has been a hundred years since the imperial mausoleum was built. How many times have such incidents happened before?"
General Wang looked like he was thinking hard:
“My memory is not coherent, just fragmented images.
The soul power sealed in the divine mind lock is decreasing every time it appears. When it is exhausted, it is the time when we are in deep sleep and will never wake up again. "
He paused and said, "In my memory, this is the second time in a hundred years."
"There is a leakage of time in the mausoleum-protecting hall. The last time was twenty years ago."
Twenty years ago, that is about eighty years after the completion of the royal mausoleum, there was the first suppressed existence to attack the mausoleum, and then now... Huo Qubing thought.
The first impact occurred eighty years after the mausoleum was built, and the second impact occurred again only twenty years later...
At this time, they walked through the corridors and houses and arrived outside the royal city.
"Every time you go out, how do you get to and from the royal city?"
The gate of the royal city was always closed and never opened for the entry and exit of these mausoleum guards.
"Leap in."
General Wang said: "The restriction of the royal city is integrated with ours and will not attack us. Wherever you want to go, as long as it is not close to the main palace, I can send you in, but you cannot take anything in the royal city without permission."
"I'm going to the southeast corner of the royal city, where the ancient well is."
"Okay." General Wang raised the big gun in his hand.
Huo Qubing and Dao Zun jumped up together and landed firmly on Da Ge.
"You two go back to the mausoleum protection hall first."
General Wang ordered the other two figurine generals, then with his legs slightly bent, he jumped into the royal city with Huo Qubing and went straight to the southeast corner.
This time when I came in, the royal city was quiet and there was nothing unusual.
Jumping over the wall, you can especially feel the majesty of the buildings in the royal city and the cascading courtyards.
Soon after, they arrived at the courtyard where the ancient well existed where Huo Qubing had been last time.
Chaos erupts from the wellhead.
This is a ground energy eye with a mysterious location.
The last time I came, heavy chaos overflowed from the well.
"You two go, hurry up. If I stay outside for a moment longer, I will consume an extra point of soul power and shorten the time to wake up next time." The king general said.
Huo Qubing had already thought about what he was going to do, and the formations rippled under his feet, blending in with some of the restrictions of the imperial mausoleum.
Not far away, a bronze-spine beast crouching at the eaves corner of a side hall came to life with the sound of a slight machine button operating.
The name of this ridged beast is Xingshi.
It is a winged, human-shaped, strange beast that holds a magical instrument that looks like a scripture scroll. It is said that the scripture scroll in its hand has the effect of suppressing evil spirits.
From the front, it looks like a winged monkey, also known as a tail-crushing beast.
Because it ranked tenth, it was named "Xingshi".
According to ancient books, it is the legendary Thunder God, which can eliminate disasters, turn misfortune into good luck, and has the ability to cut off evil and uphold justice.
This statue is several feet tall and made of bronze.
It landed in front of Huo Qubing, with mantras intertwined on the bronze wings behind it and a faint glow.
Huo Qubing sacrificed several array pattern curse seals and blended them into Xingshi's eyebrows.
Then it flew into the air and headed straight for the 'skylight' on the top wall of the imperial mausoleum.
It was flying in the air, with clusters of lightning-like arcs on its feathers, very fast.
It came under the skylight, spit out several incantations, and blended them into the light wall under the skylight. Then it turned back and returned to the eaves where it was before, crouching still.
Huo Qubing's purpose was to make some arrangements so that he could detect movements and changes in the imperial mausoleum in a timely manner.
With a slightly solemn look on his face, he came to the edge of the well.
After practicing the restrictions in the Terracotta Town, Huo Qubing learned more about the imperial mausoleum and was able to avoid triggering the surrounding restrictions. He came to the mouth of the well, looked inside briefly, and then jumped into it.
Tao Zun followed suit and entered the well.
The well is the same as when Huo Qubing came last time. There is a spring in the middle with clear water.
There is more water in the spring than the last time I saw it.
This is related to the resurgence of earth veins and the rise of Qi.
At the bottom of the well is a huge spherical space.
Huo Qubing came to one side and saw a part of a bronze chain exposed on the wall of the well, which was extremely thick and horizontal. The two ends are buried in the wall, without beginning or end.
There are symbols on the chain that turn on and off.
"Is this... the chain that binds the giant coffin?"
Taoist Master took a look at it: "Why are you in this well?"
"The chain that binds the Immortal Lord is connected to the entire imperial tomb, and the other end is connected to some locations in the Chinese land veins. It is used to mobilize the power of the Chinese land to suppress the copper coffin."
"Knowing the trend of these bronze chains will be beneficial to mastering the restrictions on the imperial tomb."
After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he reached out and tapped the bronze lock with one finger, using the cultivation method prohibited by the imperial mausoleum to promote the integration of spiritual thoughts.
boom!
The moment he made contact with the copper lock with his spiritual thoughts, he saw the giant coffin again in his consciousness.
Bronze chains extended in all directions, intertwined like a spider web, suppressing and sealing the giant coffin in the center.
The combination of the incantations engraved on all the chains formed a large killing array. Driven by the mechanism of the imperial mausoleum, a destructive force was formed, which was sent into the coffin and continued to suppress the Immortal Master in the coffin.
At this moment, Huo Qubing saw another scene through the chain connected to the giant coffin.
Behind the bronze door inside the coffin, restrictions intertwined, and in the undulating mist like an ocean, a figure lay.
When Huo Qubing's consciousness sensed this figure, 'he' suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, there was a breath flowing along his consciousness, trying to invade Huo Qubing's sea of consciousness.
"Help me out of trouble, and I will give you eternal life..."
Roar!
The white tiger in the sea of consciousness made a killing sound, and its roar shattered the vision.
In the ancient well, Huo Qubing slowly retracted his hand that touched the bronze chain.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Huo Qubing already understood the reason why the First Emperor selected contemporary military strategists and inherited the ban on his imperial tombs.
The imperial tomb figurines will be dead and unable to master the huge and complicated imperial tomb prohibition system.
Choosing a contemporary military strategist can assist the imperial tomb and make the imperial tomb come alive to a certain extent, promoting its power to increase. If the talent of the selected military strategists is high enough, there may be a chance to truly eliminate those things that have been suppressed.
Because the restrictions on the imperial tombs are also growing over time, a contemporary military strategist needs to push them after they reach a certain limit.
"Let's go. There shouldn't be any more problems here in a short time," Huo Qubing said.
The two left the royal city, met up with Dong Zhongshu and others, and returned along the original route.
But inside the royal city, silence returned.
The awakened warrior general returned to the mausoleum guarding hall on his own.
The royal city fell into a long period of darkness and silence.
Chang'an.
When Huo Qubing returned, the sky was bright and the autumn rain had begun to stop.
In the emperor's study room in Weiyang Palace, the lights remained on all night.
"Your Majesty." Several people came back together.
Huo Qubing took out the stolen items from the treasury that he had taken back from his son, a bottle with a thin neck and a round belly, containing the meaning of purple.
The emperor took the bottle in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and then put the bottle away.
He did not explain what was in the bottle, but said to Huo Qubing, "Well done. The contents of the bottle were not consumed, which is a bit beyond my expectation."
Huo Qubing: "Zi and the things banned in the imperial tomb are also in a relationship of mutual use.
He didn't want to give the things he stole to the Immortal Lord, but planned to keep them for his own use and reach the semi-saint realm, but he didn't have time yet. "
The emperor asked: "Have you ever found out the identity of Zi? Who is he?"
Dong Zhongshu, Zhang Tang, and Dao Zun also perked up and looked at Huo Qubing.
The identity of the son is full of doubts.
Just the fact that he was able to enter Weiyang Palace and take away the contents of the secret vault is puzzling.
"Part of it figured out."
Huo Qubing frankly revealed some of the memories he had learned from his consciousness.
The son is Zhao Gao, but not just Zhao Gao!
He is still Zhao Tuo, and many others...
He relied on part of Guiguzi's inheritance and obtained the foundation of Zongheng. His own legal practice was also very high, and he had a deep mind. He opened the mechanism. Later, he dabbled in the family, combined with the Zongheng lineage, and developed a means of influencing people's hearts. .
That's why he can hide in the dark and do evil repeatedly without showing his true face.
He regarded himself as the great master who founded the sect.
After combining his vertical and horizontal skills with his family, he has indeed opened up a branch that is not inferior to the nine or ten families. To be precise, it should be called conspirators.
He conspired to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, and Xu Fu, who went to sea to help the First Emperor search for immortals, was also secretly influenced and controlled by him.
When he was in Qin, he had contact with the Immortal Lord.
With the help of the Immortal Master, Zi made many arrangements using the method of dividing the soul, and used the power of the vertical and horizontal channels to secretly instigate all parties.
When the Han Dynasty was founded, he also absorbed some of the residual spiritual thoughts of Empress Lu when she died, so he could know many secrets of the Han Palace.
There are still some things that cannot be said about Zi, especially not to the emperor.
It involves searching for immortals overseas.
It wasn't that Huo Qubing wanted to hide it, but because of the emperor's identity, there were some things that he couldn't tell him.
For example, seeking immortality, or the forbidden existence in the imperial tomb, can give people a longer life.
These things are poisonous, and they are most poisonous to the emperor.
Once the emperor knows that it can extend his life and have a longer life, it is really a blessing.
Zi also mastered some other secrets, which were even more amazing and weird.
There's a lot of involvement behind it.
But after all, what Huo Qubing obtained was only part of Zi's memory, and he only had a rough grasp of many things.
He reported what he could to the emperor, and a group of people went to court together.
After going to court, Huo Qubing went directly back to his house and reported to Liu Qing that he was safe. Then he went to the study alone and took out the many trophies he had obtained from his son.
Precious artifacts, elixirs, etc.
Zi almost possesses more than 60% of Zonghengdao's foundation accumulation.
When these things are concentrated in the hands of one person, they become even more amazing.
Huo Qubing was the first to pick up what was left behind - the Picture of the Hidden Immortal!
The content on this map is similar to a map. It covers a wide area and covers the route Xu Fu took when he went to sea to find immortals.
Zi made dense annotations, outlines, and circles on this picture.
He seemed to be looking for something.
In one place, a person's back was drawn, as if he was trying to guess the person's identity, but he couldn't be sure.
Huo Qubing looked at it for a moment, then took out the second part of the handwriting left by the First Emperor and opened it to read.
Ps: Let me tell you, this time it’s not that I don’t want to add more updates, but it’s a link between the past and the next, so I’m afraid I’ll miss something. In some places, it goes smoothly, so I naturally write more. At other times, it is difficult to break out, and I write slowly.
