Chapter 138 The Mysterious Underground Tomb

I saw a jagged mountain rock in front of me, carved into a rockery, with green plants all over the rockery, and a high platform on it, with stone pillars and stone slabs piled up layer by layer, reaching the sky. On the top of the stone slab is a large group of exquisite palaces , It was built like the palace city of Lindu today.

Various exotic flowers and plants are planted among the stone pillars and slabs. From a distance, the palace complex seems to be suspended in the air.

Song Qinghuan understood in his heart that this kind of miniature palace construction form on the rockery is called "Xuanyuan", and the rockery standing here has the effect of storing wind and gathering energy in Fengshui, which can block the turbid air that directly hits the mausoleum.

Running water is drawn from the bottom of the rockery, and after going around the mountain for a week, it flows into the wide and straight horizontal ditch behind it.The flowing water is gurgling, and the resplendent palace at the end is reflected in the water. The corners and eaves are raised and the eaves are magnificent. The glazed tiles on the roof reflect colorful rays of light under the sunlight.

The palace is backed by rolling hills, which are more luxurious and sacred against the backdrop of green hills.

There is a road paved with white jade on both sides of the ditch, and cypress trees are planted all over the road, which is lush and green, and the reflections in the water are full of vitality. From this point of view, it does not look like a mausoleum, but like a palace.

——except for the quaint black-lacquered door in the middle.

There seems to be something engraved on the door, but because of the distance, it is hard to see clearly.

There are dense cypress trees and a magnificent palace. Standing in front of such a mausoleum, I feel that the whole person has become small.

At this time, a servant brought a huge bronze cauldron with three incense sticks inserted in the cauldron, which had not yet been lit.

Emperor Zhao stepped down from the chariot, glanced at the people standing in front of the mausoleum, and said in a deep voice, "Today is the day for the Sword Seizing Conference. The mausoleum behind me is called the Mausoleum of Infinity. It was originally intended to be my home in a hundred years. .”

His eyes swept across the dignified faces, and then he said, "However, the Cangxie sword reappeared in the world, Zhao Kingdom is obliged to find a wise master for it, and the Mausoleum of Infinity is a mausoleum that I spent countless efforts to build. The work of Lu Ban, the master craftsman of the former dynasty, is very delicate and complex, and it is suitable for finding the master of the Cangxie Sword."

Song Qinghuan listened coldly, his mind moved slightly.

Emperor Zhao's name was infinite, and he named this mausoleum after himself, which shows that he attached great importance to this mausoleum.But now he gave up the Infinity Mausoleum to seize the sword, which is really incomprehensible.

You must know that once they enter the mausoleum, all the organs and hidden weapons in the tomb will be destroyed.

Lu Ban is dead, and it is bound to be difficult to restore the original appearance of these hidden weapons in the mausoleum.That being the case, why did Emperor Zhao give up the Wuyin Mausoleum?Does he have other plans?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Zhao glanced at the waiter beside him.

The servant understood, took two steps forward, and said in a sharp voice, "After entering the Infinity Mausoleum, life or death is irrelevant, and the consequences are at your own risk. The one who successfully takes out the Cangxie Sword will be the winner and will become the new owner of the Cangxie Sword. May I ask your highnesses, can you now?" Is there anyone else who wants to quit?"

Everyone was silent.

It's all come to this point, who would give up at this time?
The servant was just going through the motions, and seeing no one made a sound, he continued, "The order of entering the Infinite Mausoleum is in the order of returning to the forest after the selection contest. Each person can only bring two personal guards."

He looked at Jun Che in the crowd, "The No.1 in the last audition was the second prince of Zhao Kingdom, Jun Che, please get ready, the second prince will be the first to enter the Infinite Mausoleum after a stick of incense."

Jun Che responded, and went to the side to prepare not to mention it.

The servant then announced the order of entering the Infinite Mausoleum.After Jun Che entered Yizhuxiang, it was Song Qinghuan and Yin Qingrong's turn, then Song Yan and Song Qingyi, then Su Jingci, Su Fengming and Su Rao, and finally Song Xuan and Junxi.

Song Qinghuan stood where he was, and looked at Jun Che who was beside him calmly.

From her perspective, she could see half of his side face clearly, and she could see that his face was a little pale. Thinking about it, the human broth had really hit him a bit hard that day.

There were two people standing beside him, both wearing black clothes and hoods, their faces were hidden in the shadows, so they couldn't be seen clearly.It should be the two guards who are going to enter the Infinity Mausoleum together with Jun Che, but such a dress is really a bit mysterious, and I don't know who they are?

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and the servant stepped forward to remind Jun Che that he could enter the mausoleum.

Jun Che nodded, and led the two guards to the corridor paved with white jade.

The moment he was about to step on the corridor, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Chuhan inadvertently, the shadows in his eyes were turbulent, but he still couldn't hide the venomous look.

Song Qinghuan's Mo pupils were narrow, and she was a little caressing in her heart.

It seems that Jun Che completely hated Shen Chuhan.

Jun Che's figure walked through the clean corridor, and finally disappeared behind the black lacquered gate.

Song Qinghuan stared at the burning incense in the big bronze cauldron with heavy eyes and a dignified expression.

Soon it was time for them to enter the Mausoleum of Infinity.

Since Yin Qingrong was reprimanded by Song Qinghuan when she returned to the forest that day, she suddenly became low-key as if she had come to her senses.He didn't take the initiative to find fault with Song Qinghuan anymore, and his attitude towards Shen Chuhan became alienated and restrained.

Song Qinghuan didn't know if she really figured it out, or if she was just pretending, she was still a little wary.

Shen Liang's eyes swept across her face, his eyes were slightly darkened.

No matter what calculations Yin Qingrong is planning in her heart now, if she can calm down at this time, it will save herself trouble.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Song Xuan behind him, smiled at him, and signaled him not to worry, and told him to take care of himself, then, together with Yin Qingrong, stepped onto the corridor made of white jade.Shen Chuhan, Mubai and Liuyue Xuanying followed behind.

The corridor is not long, but as soon as you step on it, there is a coolness rising from the bottom of your feet, which makes people shiver uncontrollably.

Yin Qingrong suddenly shivered from the cold, and seemed to feel that it was a bit embarrassing, so she quickly lowered her expression and walked forward without looking sideways.

Song Qinghuan adjusted his inner breath, his eyes were slightly cold.

Is it the mausoleum, and even before entering it, it feels gloomy, but I don't know what kind of terrifying traps of monsters and snakes are waiting for them inside?

Walking to the black lacquered gate, Song Qinghuan looked up and saw clearly the carvings on the gate.

Engraved on the door are the tail of a leopard, the beak of a bird, the gills of a fish and a wasp.In folklore, these four things are collectively called the "Four Great Yin Commanders", and they respectively manage the undead of animals on land, birds in the sky, fish in the water, and insects on the ground.

I don't know if it was done deliberately, but the carving technique looks very rough, which makes people feel cold.

Yin Qingrong swallowed casually, and looked at Song Qinghuan.She probably also felt the eerie coldness inside the door, so she didn't dare to open it, so she wanted to hand over the task to Song Qinghuan.

Before Song Qinghuan could respond, Shen Chuhan glanced at Mu Bai.

Mu Bai understood, stepped forward and said, "Come down and open it." After saying that, together with Xuan Ying, he stretched out his hand and pushed the heavy door open.

As soon as the door was opened, there was indeed a gust of cold air blowing towards the face, with a damp and rotten air that had not been seen for a long time, blowing on the person's body, making the pores of the person open suddenly, and goose bumps all over the body.

Mu Bai and Xuan Ying stepped in first.

Shen Chuhan glanced at Song Qinghuan, followed her and Liu Yue into the door together.

Yin Qingrong was afraid that they would abandon her, so she hurriedly rubbed her hands, and trotted two steps to follow.

As soon as the few people entered the hall, they only heard a "bang" sound behind them. Before they could clearly see the situation in the hall, it suddenly darkened in front of them.

Yin Qingrong was startled, and when she looked back, it turned out that the thick black lacquered door closed automatically behind her for some reason.

Shen Chuhan flicked his sleeves to the sides, and only heard a few "swish", the candles in the bronze candlesticks on the walls on both sides lit up one after another, illuminating the entire hall in an instant.

With the help of the firelight, several people saw the situation in front of them clearly, and they couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath.

In the faint candlelight, there are countless humanoid pottery figurines standing in the front hall, the same height as real people, all wearing black and silver armor, holding big knives and sharp swords, with serious expressions.

Their block completely blocked the way to the inside of the hall.

Song Qinghuan frowned, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

This is - terracotta warriors?

She went to Xi'an before traveling to see the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Compared with the two, it seems that there is not much difference between the two.

Moreover, in addition to soldiers, there are also chariots and horses in the terracotta figurines in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but there are only staggered figurines in front of you.

"What is this?" Yin Qingrong stared in horror at the magnificent array of pottery figurines in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

No one answered, her voice echoed faintly in the empty hall.

Song Qinghuan was still in deep thought.

As far as she knows, the terracotta warriors and horses in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum are stored in the catacombs, and they exist more as a sacrificial function.

But the human figurines in the Infinite Mausoleum obviously played a role in preventing the idlers from entering the tomb. As for how to block them, she has not yet seen why.

"Master?" Mu Bai looked at Shen Chuhan with some embarrassment.

These human figurines who blocked here after entering the door must not be simple decorations, Shen Chuhan didn't say anything, and he and Xuanying didn't dare to make a move easily.

Shen Chuhan didn't make a sound, his eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at the candlestick on the wall next to him.

Suddenly, with a movement of his hand, there was only a gust of strong wind, the candlestick was pulled off the wall by Shen Chuhan's internal force, and with a flick of his hand, the candlestick fell into the pottery figurines.

The candle flame had been extinguished by the palm wind, and the bronze candlestick fell to the ground with a clang. Before everyone could react, they saw a terracotta figurine closest to the floor candlestick, suddenly raised his left arm, swung a big knife in his hand, and headed towards the place where the candlestick landed. Cut it down!
Although the figurines are made of clay, the weapons in their hands are real knives and guns. After such a cut, a gap was cut in the bronze candlestick, and the sound of metal clashing was endless in my ears. It's frightening.

Yin Qingrong had obviously never seen such a big battle, her heart shrank, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

Song Qinghuan's mouth twitched into a sneer.

Seriously, Emperor Zhao really has the will to win the Cangxie Sword!
Jun Che was only a stick of incense ahead of them, but at this time he was no longer visible in the hall. He presumably got the blueprint of the Infinite Mausoleum, so he easily passed this level.

So, what is the method of passing these figurines?

She fixed her eyes, staring at the terracotta figurine in front of her without blinking, her eyes welling up.Just now I thought there were a lot of these pottery figurines, but now that I looked carefully, I realized that there were only a few dozen of them.It's just that the arrangement is out of order, and it seems that the number has increased.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a certain place, and there was a faint light flashing.

She took two steps forward.

As soon as Liu Yue was in a hurry, she nervously went to pull Song Qinghuan, for fear that she would be hurt by the swords in the hands of those pottery figurines, but Shen Xing moved faster than her, grabbed her, and then shook her head at her.

His Highness has always acted properly, and she must have discovered something when she stepped forward at this time.

Sure enough, Song Qinghuan stopped after taking a few steps, leaned slightly, and looked at something on the ground.

Soon, she straightened her body, turned to look at Shen Chuhan, and waved at him, "Chu, come here." In front of people, she still called him A Chu, such an intimate address, which made Yin Qingrong's eyes suddenly brighten. one dark.

Shen Chuhan stepped forward and looked in the direction of Song Qinghuan's finger.

The candle was flickering, and I didn't pay attention to it when I was far away, but when I got closer, I realized that there were some extremely shallow lines drawn on the floor under these terracotta figurines, horizontal and vertical, forming squares one by one.

And each terracotta figurine just stands in a square grid.

Song Qinghuan's eyes became more and more condensed, and his eyes were as deep as a well.Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly looked at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan also happened to look over, with a faint smile on his lips.

Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling, "Ah Chu also figured it out, right?"

The smile on Shen Chuhan's lips deepened, and his tone was gentle, "Ah Wan, do you want to give it a try?"

Song Qinghuan glanced up and shook his head discouragedly, "It's still not good. You don't know my level. Although I have improved a little from my previous life, I'm still far behind you. This is a matter of life and death. It's okay, you should come."

Shen Chuhan pursed his lips and nodded, looked at Mu Bai and Xuan Ying, "You two will obey orders later."

Except for Song Qinghuan, everyone else was at a loss.Liu Yue couldn't help it, and asked first, "Your Highness, what are you and Prime Minister Shen talking about?"

Song Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Have you noticed that the costumes of these pottery figurines are not the same?"

Liu Yue nodded blankly, "Some terracotta figurines have black armor, while others are silver."

Song Qinghuan nodded, "These pottery figurines are actually chess pieces."

"Chess piece?" Liu Yue murmured and repeated, still a little puzzled.

"There is a shallow chessboard drawn on the ground, but the light is not clear, so it will be difficult to find it for a while. If I guess correctly, this should be an unfinished chess game. Only one side wins can we successfully pass here." Song Qinghuan patiently Explanation.

When she was in Zhao Kingdom in her previous life, she knew that Emperor Zhao liked Go very much, and Concubine Xiao Gui could play Go well.Shen Chuhan's chess skill was learned from Concubine Xiao.

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Chuhan didn't say much, and performed lightness kung fu, flying onto the beam in the hall.In this way, the chess game on the ground can be seen clearly and clearly at a glance.

This is indeed an unresolved game, the black and white two players are in a stalemate, it is a famous chess game left in the past, called Tianshu chess game.

Coincidentally, he knew how to solve this situation without even thinking about it.Because, when he was young, he discussed this situation with Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Xiao just figured out how to solve this situation.

Thinking of Concubine Xiao Gui, his eyes darkened and his breath became colder.

Soon, he suppressed the fluctuations in his eyes, looked at Xuan Ying and Mu Bai, signaled them to get ready, and then slowly talked about the steps to solve the chess game.

Under Shen Chuhan's instruction, Xuan Ying and Mu Bai used internal force to move the figurines of Xuan and Yin to move on the chessboard.

After moving the last figurine, Shen Chuhan jumped off the beam.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the front.

Suddenly, there was a huge "bang" sound, and the terracotta figurines that were originally arranged in an orderly manner receded to both sides, and they were neatly arranged in two rows on the left and right, with a black and white brick and stone road in the middle. More, less black masonry.

Suddenly, a burst of dust rose up, fascinating everyone's eyes, and they stepped back a few steps.

It was a success!
Liu Yue was excited, her eyes showed admiration for Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan.Such an ingenuity, in her place, would never have been imagined.

Looking far away, I saw a large square platform at the end of the road paved with bricks, with a stone pillar erected, and a round stone ball on the stone pillar.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan looked at each other and took the first step.

Their footsteps were very slow, but they were also very determined, and the few people behind hurriedly followed.

Not surprisingly, they managed to make it across the road to the platform.Yin Qingrong glanced fearfully at the stern-faced servants behind her, her body trembled a few times, she hurriedly looked away, and looked at the stone pillars and stone balls in front of her.

What is this?
She didn't have any clues in her mind, so she could only subconsciously look at Song Qinghuan.

But Song Qinghuan was looking around at the hall, his eyes were dark and ink-stained, like the blackness of eternal night, with a convincing magic power.

There was a hint of frustration in my heart.

It's all Diji, why is she so powerful, but she can only follow behind others and can't help anything?
Song Qinghuan didn't know about her small thoughts, and she didn't have time to worry about them.

There are no windows in the main hall here, and it is completely closed. In other words, there is no road behind the main hall.The mausoleums of emperors throughout the ages have been built underground, and Emperor Zhao should be no exception. Then, there must be a secret passage leading to the underground nearby.

She turned her gaze back and stared motionlessly at the stone ball on the stone pillar in front of her.

It seems that this is the mechanism, and when they got closer, they discovered that there was a black square pattern painted on the stone ball. I don't know what the purpose is.

She reached out her hand hesitantly, and was about to press it down, but she heard Shen Chuhan say, "I'll do it." Saying that, she stretched out her hand and pressed the stone ball.

But nothing happened.

Seeing this, Yin Qingrong felt a little more frustrated in her heart. She curled her lips and was about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly she saw Song Qinghuan's eyes that were as cold as frost, which made her heart skip a beat.

Song Qinghuan's purpose was not to look at her, but to glance at her, looking at the figurines and the stone road not far away.

"Your Highness, there are some deep and shallow traces here." Shen Xing suddenly discovered something, and opened his mouth in a deep voice.

Song Qinghuan took two steps forward and followed where she pointed, but saw that there were some shallow grooves at the junction of the stone ball and the stone pillar. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

While contemplating, Shen Chuhan's eyes froze, as if thinking of something, he put his hand on the stone ball.

Song Qinghuan frowned, a little worried.

However, Shen Chuhan's expression was gloomy, his eyes did not fluctuate in any way, and his face was calm.Song Qinghuan stretched her brows, and just stared at his actions without blinking.

"Shen Xiang, what are you going to do?" She believed it, but Yin Qingrong became worried again.

Just entered the palace just now, it is such a dangerous organ, if the method of deciphering the organ is wrong, there may be some hidden weapon from the organ, so I feel quite disturbed.

Shen Chuhan glanced at her coolly, his eyes were as deep as ink, "Your Highness only needs to trust this humble minister."

Listening to his indifferent and alienated tone, Yin Qingrong's heart felt sad, and she forgot her original intention of asking the question, her eyes lowered, and she felt sad secretly.

It was Song Qinghuan who answered, "What did Ah Chu see?"

Shen Chuhan stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to the distance, "Ah Wan looked at that corridor, did you feel something was wrong?"

Song Qinghuan saw that there were those figurines on both sides of the corridor, and the corridor in the middle was two tiles wide and narrow. Most of the tiles were white stone tiles, with a few black stone tiles mixed in messily.

These black stone floor tiles are really a bit abrupt here.

Suddenly remembering the black square on the stone ball just now, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, could it be—is that a reminder? !
She frowned, counted carefully, and found that there were three black stone floor tiles in the left row of floor tiles, and four in the right row.

Three on the left and four on the right, plus the shallow dents on those stone pillars... She raised her eyebrows suddenly, and turned to look at the stone ball on the stone pillar.

Shen Chuhan chuckled, "Ah Wan understands too?"

Song Qinghuan nodded.

"Let's go together then." Shen Chuhan smiled and winked at her.

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke at this moment, Song Qinghuan felt a little relieved, and Yubai's plain hand covered the back of Shen Chuhan's hand on the stone ball.

The two looked at each other, turned the stone ball three times to the left and three times to the right, and then let go.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and suddenly there was a loud bang——

I saw that the platform behind the stone pillar suddenly split to both sides, revealing a dark hole below!
