Divine Burial

Chapter 33: The Mausoleum of the First Emperor (10)

Although I can see that the conversation between the two of them is full of weird style, but in this kind of thing, the performance of the infant and the corpse is the same, and we are stupid not to understand what they are doing.

We rested for a while, and then left the copper house to move on. It is about four or five kilometers away from the center of Shi Huang's Mausoleum. This distance cannot be considered too far, but because of the previous accidents, I think four or five kilometers to us is as far as going from Datang to Tianzhu.

Speaking of it, our five-member team happens to be about the same as the learning team. The very powerful big brother Lian Daozhen, the second brother Asan of the stingy ghost, the bronze armored corpse of the third brother who honestly does not speak, the second pet baby corpse, and the most useless old Na...

Thinking wildly, he walked through several ruins all the way. These ruins have no value and are entirely composed of large and small stones. I really don’t know where there are so many broken stones in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Could it be that it had collapsed here

The more you go to the depths of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the more piles of rubble will grow. Gradually, huge boulders that are more than ten meters long like stairs will appear. Ah San and Lian Daozhen searched for the breath of the corpse along the way, trying to find where it hid. But the corpse seemed to be as we had seen before, heading straight to the center of the tomb, so although I found a lot of cold breath along the way, I never saw the corpse.

The baby corpse crawled out of Ah San's arms and crawled down the shoulders into the hat of the sweater like a cat. It lay on the edge of the hat, beckoning to me, and yelling, as if to say: Come on, there is still a place here.

I couldn't laugh or cry. Not to mention that I couldn't get in. Even if I could get in, I would probably be thrown two hundred meters away by Asan's call to the bronze armored corpse.

As we walked, we saw the house after passing a pile of six or seven meters high gravel in front. Strictly speaking, this is a row of houses. More strictly speaking, this is a row of houses that have collapsed.

The baby corpse flew over first, got in through a crack in the collapsed stone of a house, and soon it flew out, pointing to the house and screaming.

Could it be possible that it found something

All of us walked up quickly, and the bronze armor corpse ripped off the gravel, leaving the inside of the house open to us. After just one glance, I shouted out in surprise: "How come there are dead bodies?"

This time, Lien Dao was really not surprised. He glanced into the room and said: "There are many such bodies in every room. They should be soldiers from the Qin Dynasty, but they died here for some reason."

In the room, four bones lay on the ground, and their skeletons were still covered with armor, and they even held weapons in their palms. Lian Daozhen did not go in and said, "These corpses have cracks in the bones of their bodies, and the brain bones are the most damaged. When I came here, I guessed that they were hit by a huge force, but if you look carefully, Not so."

Ah San walked out of the room at this moment, he had already looked at the bones on the ground once, and he was sure that Lian Dao really said nothing. At this moment, Lien Dao really guessed the cause of the soldier’s death, and he said: “I don’t think it was impacted by force. There are still some ceramic objects around them. Although most of them are broken, a small part is still well preserved. Impact, judging by their injuries, everything in this house should be destroyed."

"So so far, I still don't know how they died, and more importantly, why they died here." Lian Daozhen said.

"Perhaps it was a burial, doesn't it mean that the first emperor hopes that after death, there will be thousands of soldiers and horses to fight for him in another world." I guessed.

"It should not be." Lian Daozhen shook his head and said, "There are burial pits outside. Those terracotta warriors and horses are even burial objects. Although the first emperor ruled the world, it was not very stable. Unless he was not afraid of Qin Dynasty's ruin overnight, otherwise. He would never really use a living person for burial. Furthermore, even if he was really faint and cruel, the cause of death of these soldiers was not just a certain part of the injury. Could it be that when they were burial, someone specially took their whole body Broken bones?"

I thought, this kind of thing is indeed impossible.

Ah San frowned his slender eyebrows, and said in a puzzled way: "No matter why they died, the most important thing is, what are they doing here? This is the Tomb of the First Emperor. What can they do here? Difficulty? No, are you afraid of someone coming to attack."

"It's not impossible." Lian Daozhen said: "When the King of Chu burned the Afang Palace, he intended to burn the Tomb of the First Emperor, but he didn't seem to find the exact location, so he only ignited the periphery. It hurt the inside of the tomb. Therefore, it is also possible that the first emperor was afraid that someone would attack his tomb after death, so he sent troops to guard the tomb."

Lien Dao's analysis is not without reason, but I always feel that there is something wrong in it, but I can't say it.

Ah San was a little unwilling to give up, and let the bronze armored corpse open a few rooms. These houses were all built of stones and there were no strong points of support, so the rumbling sound of collapse continued to sound. The somewhat gray-headed Asan, after seeing the bones of several other rooms, finally determined that no clues could be found.

We followed the house and continued to look for the center of the Tomb of the First Emperor. There are many such houses with bones, but most of them are in ruins. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as helping the dead soldiers to build tombs, so as not to let them go into the wilderness.

After continuing to walk a distance, one after another towering houses. These houses are much larger than seen before, but the number is very small, and the ones that have not collapsed are very few.

Lian Daozhen said, "These are the generals' houses. I have found half a tiger charm in them before."

Lian Daozhen only briefly introduced a couple of sentences, and didn't go any further. Needless to say, I have already guessed that the generals in the house must have broken and died like the bones of the soldiers before them.

There will be soldiers, indicating that there was indeed an army stationed in the tomb at that time.

I became more and more curious about the role of this army. Although Lian Dao really guessed that they were to guard the tomb and fear that they would be burned tomb of the first emperor, I think it should not be this role.

Because the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is too mysterious, too weird, and too dangerous.

From the time I came in to the present, everything I saw and heard seemed to exist only in legends. Will such a tomb be garrisoned by ordinary troops? Or, in other words, is the role of the army stationed in such a tomb just to prevent the rebels from attacking

What's more, in historical records, the magnificent Mausoleum of the First Emperor is just a desolate place at this moment.

Because of what

All kinds of questions are mixed together, and I do not believe that the role of this Qin army is to guard the tomb.

However, believe it or not, the long river of history has wiped out the truth. Before reaching the end of the river, all guesses can only be guesses.

Ah San gave up with disappointment to continue exploring the stone house and let us move on.

Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, the closer I get to the central building, the more depressed I feel. In the air, there seemed to be that strange breath again, a thick and thick feeling, surrounding my body and mind.

I followed Lian Daozhen in anxious manner, seeing that he didn't have any strange expressions, I felt a little relieved.

Leaving the stone houses of the generals, we continued to walk for about one kilometer, crossing numerous huge stones in the middle, and we finally saw something new.

It is a high platform.

The square stone platform covers an area of more than 100 square meters. There are more than ten of these stone platforms, and they are piled up with gravel. Even so, some strange ornaments can still be seen.

Ren Daozhen whispered to me, "That piece of debris was obtained from here."

"Here?" I looked at the stone platforms in a little astonishment, not understanding why the fragments appeared here.

"This seems to be a place of worship in the mausoleum. I have been here several times and found many sacrifices. But what is puzzling is that most of these sacrifices are made of metal with strange runes carved on them. I don't see Understand." Lian Daozhen said.

Ah San also heard Lian Dao's truth. He looked at the stone platform blankly and said, "What do you want the altar in the tomb? Is it possible that the first emperor intends to still worship the heaven and the earth after his death?"

"This is not very clear, but some altars do have the names of the Four Emperors." Lian Daozhen said.

"Four Emperors?"

"Qingdi Fuxi, Chidi Shennong, Huangdi Xuanyuan, Baidi Shaohao." Lian Daozhen explained.

"Huh? Only sacrifice to the four emperors?" I was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it said that all the emperors from all ages have worshipped the Five Emperors?"

Lian Daozhen shook his head and said: "On the altar, there are indeed only the names of the four emperors. Only the black emperor Zhuanxu is not among them. I don't know why." (End of this chapter)
