Lord of the Earth

Chapter 186: The guards of the First Emperor’s Mausoleum, mercury robots?
"Well, it should be right here!"

About an hour later, everyone followed Xia Tian, ​​who was running the "Human Emperor Yulong Jing" all the way, and came to a seemingly ordinary place with mountains, waterfalls, and rivers on the terrain!
"Miss Huang, look at it from a Feng Shui perspective. Is there an emperor's tomb under this hill?"

Xia Tian closed his eyes and said after sensing in detail.

"The mountains and rivers here gather together, and the tiger sits on the dragon's plate. In terms of Feng Shui, it is quite good."

After Huang Rong nodded, her white clothes fluttered, and her figure was as light as a butterfly leaping onto the top of a tree.

"It's just that we have seen many such Feng Shui places along the way! For ordinary high-ranking officials and nobles, building a mausoleum here may be considered qualified. But for the emperor, it seems a bit shabby. What's more, it is an adult The one in question..."

After looking around, Huang Rong shook his head hesitantly.

"Is my induction wrong?"

After hearing the words of "professionals", Xia Tian was not sure either.

The "induction" for running the "Human Emperor Yulong Jing" came from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. After all, this was just his subjective judgment.

If the feng shui of this place is really very bad, could he be sensing something else?
"However, this little girl's Feng Shui skills are limited... My father told me before I came here that if I am really not sure, please take me up to the sky to have a closer look. Maybe I can see some clues!"

At this time, Huang Rong seemed to have thought of something.

He said with a slight redness behind his ears and a slightly wandering look.

"This……"

Xia Tian was taken aback.

Relying on the "Jade Dragon Armor", you can indeed fly into the sky. It is a bit troublesome to bring someone with you, and a certain amount of physical contact is inevitable.

As an unmarried person, he really took Huang Rong into the sky to "fly together" in front of many soldiers, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others in public!
It is inevitable that some unfavorable rumors will arise in the territory.

Huang Yaoshi, what exactly do you think?

However, since Huang Rong herself did not raise any objection.

Xia Tian also held the attitude that Huang Rong was a child of the world and would not stick to such trivial matters. He grabbed the red-cheeked girl's snow-white and delicate arms and flew into the sky together!

"Hiss... Daddy is right, sir. There is indeed a place with unique Feng Shui here. However, it is different from the ordinary 'Feng Shui' that is structured around a single mountain range and water flows. This Feng Shui is based on the surrounding five hundred emperors. The mausoleum itself is a very good terrain, gathering the power of Feng Shui, and then letting it be used for its own use, thereby gaining the power of creation from heaven and earth...

As the saying goes, it looks like a ridge when viewed from the side and a peak on the side.

On the ground, even Huang Rong, who had a family background and was proficient in formations, didn't see any clues. But after flying into the air, her eyes with flowing water suddenly grew in size, as if it was a bit incredible!

"Sir, do you remember the function of the 'Nine Dragons Gathering Array' that my father arranged in the territory? Even if the 'Nine Dragons Gathering Array' is finally completed, it can only absorb and mobilize the power of Feng Shui within a ten-mile radius. But this tomb , but it can mobilize the power of Feng Shui for hundreds or thousands of miles around, and even plunder the power of Feng Shui of these emperors' tombs themselves, and the items that are finally produced may be very amazing."

Huang Rong's breathing was rapid.

First fate, second luck, third Feng Shui!

The Tao of Feng Shui can be ranked behind fate and luck, and it also has the magical power to conquer the heaven and earth. The power of Feng Shui in the entire secret realm of the imperial mausoleum has gathered to give birth to a "treasure" that is probably unimaginably precious!

"It seems that we have to hurry up..."

Xia Tian didn't feel too surprised.

After all, the "visions" in this secret realm are mainly about Qin Shihuang, and his tomb is definitely extraordinary!
However, Huang Rong's Feng Shui attainments were not the most outstanding. After flying into the sky, she also saw that there was something special about this area, and there were other people who were also proficient in Feng Shui.

Perhaps, we can also see the clues through clues!
"Let's dig!"

So Xia Tian waved his hand and directly used the rare items.

A "creature" about seven meters long and more than two meters high, with scales that looked hexagonal and a pangolin-like appearance, appeared in front of everyone. It was the "Dragon Carp Shuttle", a strange object with the ability to dig and escape from the ground.

When he first learned that Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu were trapped, Xia Tian once drove the "Dragon Carp Shuttle" deep underground, rescued people and left directly.

However, the Dark Caves and Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum are completely different.

Especially according to the records in the "Historical Books", the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is not only filled with various traps, but is even filled with unimaginable amounts of highly toxic mercury.

Therefore, Xia Tian did not try to enter directly through the "escape" method, but let everyone set up the military camp on the spot, and then asked the trapped camp soldiers to cooperate with the "Dragon Carp" to dig a passage into the mausoleum.

As for the "Cloud Guard", he rode a black and white dragon pheasant to patrol the surrounding area, collecting various resources. At the same time, he drove away some of the large troops who saw his territory and secretly followed them.

They even released the "Jade-clawed Eagle" to patrol the sky and did not allow others to approach without permission!

"Rumble..."

Relying on the spirit stone drive, the dragon carp shuttle's ability to dig holes is completely inferior to the "shield boring machine" on earth.

Just as night was about to fall, an entrance large enough for several people to pass through had been excavated in the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb!
However, the scene at the entrance is a bit surprising.

Because, under the light of a "sky lantern" controlled by the power of the mind to float, thousands of human bones lying on the ground suddenly appeared in front of them.

The bodies of these skeletons all appeared to be struggling, some had their fingers dug into the soil, and many reached out to cover their throats. The surface of some of the bones showed a strange silver color, as if they were poisoned!

One by one, they obviously tried to escape from the mausoleum, but in the end they fell in the mausoleum. A huge "Dragon Sealing Stone" cut off their vitality, and they could only wait to die in despair!

"They should be the craftsmen who built the tomb!"

Looking at the appearance of these corpses, Zhuge Liang sighed and looked heavy.

When ancient emperors built mausoleums, they would kill the craftsmen to prevent them from revealing the structure and layout of the mausoleum.

Sima Qian recorded more clearly in "Historical Records" that after the death of Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, ordered all the craftsmen who built the tomb, plus the concubines who had no children, to be "buried" in the imperial mausoleum for the first emperor. These The deceased will inevitably be full of resentment!

"Crash..."

And just when everyone was approaching the entrance.

Suddenly, the corpses of some craftsmen glowing with silver suddenly raised their heads and looked at the people who had stepped into the tomb area. Then they jumped up and rushed towards the people in the territory.

"No, it's 'Corpse'!"

Such a scene undoubtedly moved many soldiers.

However, he was only a little surprised, and the reactions on each hand were very quick.

"The will to fall into battle!"

"Death but not life!"

A soldier from the famous camp quickly protected himself with a black gold shield in one hand, and slashed away with a sword in the other hand.

After being "enchanted" by the ferocious beast furnace obtained from Taotie Island, various forms of flaming ferocious beast fire emerged from the blade. The "undead" transformed by these craftsmen directly gave the killing power on the spot, and the bones were burned to ashes. !

"I'm sorry, you should just continue to stay quiet!"

Although these craftsmen are actually victims.

However, since he is dead, there is no need to come out to cause trouble again!
"No, what is this..."

However, one soldier's expression suddenly changed.

Because the craftsman's skeleton was quickly burned by the flames, but the silver on the surface of the skeleton took the opportunity to fall off, and fell on the armor of a soldier like water.

Then, go up the armor.Finally, the breath from the gap in the helmet of the trapped soldier quickly penetrated into the body through his mouth, nose, and eyes, and the soldier's body quickly became stiff, and his upper body quickly transformed into silver.

"not good!"

Hua Tuo quickly stepped forward, and a silver needle appeared in his hand and pierced the soldier's cheek. Suddenly, the liquid "silver metal" expanded much slower!
But Hua Tuo didn't stop moving at all, and then inserted a few more silver needles.

The injured soldier who was trapped in the camp said "Wow" and spit out a silver ball the size of a table tennis ball, and he returned to normal.

However, after the swords in the hands of two more soldiers shattered the bones of the craftsmen, liquid metal suspected to be mercury fell on their bodies and covered their mouths and noses!

If this continues, it will obviously be too much for Hua Tuo to do alone.

"Step aside!"

A majestic voice sounded.

Xia Tian took a few steps forward, let out a dragon roar from the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, and swung the sword toward the passage ahead with a burst of spiritual power!
hold head high!
The next moment, the mighty sword energy was like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, turning into a vertical and horizontal tornado of sword energy, rushing towards the inside of the mausoleum along the closed and straight tunnel!

ding ding ding...

A large number of criss-crossing sword marks instantly appeared on the hard mausoleum passage walls and ground. The power belonging to the seven transformations exploded. At the same time, nearly a hundred craftsman corpses were "killed" on the spot. The layer covering their surface Silver flew out like water droplets and "crackled" and fell to the floor on the wall!
However, the silver "raindrops" soon gathered together again, forming several human-shaped creatures without any faces, staring in the direction of Xia Tian.

Then, he did not choose to attack, but slipped away along the gap in the wall of the tomb passage like water!

[Mercury Lingwei (Blue)]

[type] heterogeneous

[Level] Sixth level of metamorphosis

【Characteristics】Control, poison

[Explanation] The strange alien species bred from a large amount of "mercury" in the Eternal Land has top potential!

"It turns out to be a mutant that has undergone six transformations..."

Xia Tian's face was slightly serious. As expected, the "guards" in these emperors' tombs were not as simple as imagined. They encountered guards of this level from the beginning.

This thing feels as strange as the T-1000 liquid metal man in The Terminator.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, the "Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Wall" would have been powerful enough in this not-too-wide space!

Moreover, Hua Tuo has superb medical skills and can provide timely treatment.

If you move to another territory, there may have been attrition!
"However, this may not be a bad thing. Mercury was originally a highly poisonous substance. After it evaporated, it filled the air and filled the entire cemetery, making it difficult to walk. Now that it has transformed into a human form, it has become more flexible, but it is also easier to deal with it head-on!"

"Moreover, the "Human Emperor's Dragon Control Sutra" seems to have some influence on these 'mercury guards'. They seem to be unwilling to conflict with me head-on..."

Xia Tian thought deeply.

"Hey, there seems to be a picture on the wall of this passage..."

At this time, some traces carved with blood and tools were found on the wall passage illuminated by the "sky lantern", which was a map of the distribution of various mechanisms and traps in the Tomb of the First Emperor.

Although it seems a bit sloppy, the particularly dangerous parts have been standardized. In theory, you only need to be careful to note that the mechanisms in this mausoleum will be the same!
The most important thing is, this map even marks the closest route to the "main tomb" leading to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?
Obviously this was the craftsmen's last "counterattack" against the First Emperor.

"What a grand mausoleum..."

The entire underground palace is much larger than Xia Tian expected. The number of tombs on this map alone reaches more than [-], plus various facilities and agencies are intricate.

Not to mention just seven days, even a month may not be able to fully explore it.

"But now, the only thing I need to do is to follow this path, directly to the 'main tomb chamber', and see the most precious treasures..."

Xia Tian thought in his heart.

Then, after thinking about it, he didn't let everyone follow him into the tomb.

Instead, Gao Shun was left outside and only brought Hua Tuo, Zhao Yun, Huang Rong and others, plus twenty soldiers whose strength had reached three transformations or more!

After using the "Dragon Carp" to open the "Dragon Locking Stone" that closes the tomb, continue forward for a certain distance.

Ahead, there was a flash of silvery white light!

"What's the matter? There are still lights in the tomb?"

The source of the light is a lamp hanging on the wall, made of bronze, and shaped like a hand-held lamp. The light it emits shines on people, giving them a warm feeling.

"Is this the 'Eternal Light'?"

In comparison, Huang Rong's knowledge was obviously more profound, the girl said in surprise.

"There is a legend that the First Emperor's Mausoleum sent people to shoot sharks in the East China Sea and use their oil to make lamps, thus making the light last forever. So it turns out to be true?"

Shark is the ancient name for whales.

But Xia Tian thinks this legend is not true.

Even if the oil obtained from shooting a "whale" really burns for a long time, a whale will only burn for a few decades at most.

Unless Qin Shihuang sent people to kill hundreds of whales, it would be impossible to keep the sun burning for 2000 years!

And, this is just for one light.

The number of such lamps in the entire mausoleum is probably not small!

That’s why this lamp can stay on.

It's because it has become a wonder!
[Eternal light (green)]

【Type】Wonderful Object

[Characteristics] Exorcism (within the light range, it has a suppressive effect on evil creatures), everlasting light (can absorb spiritual power, automatically condenses 'common oil', so that the light does not go out)
[Explanation] The First Emperor sent soldiers to kill the "squid" in the East China Sea, and used its oil to make an "everlasting lamp", which condensed the power of special rules in the fusion of heaven and earth.

"A strange thing, it turns out to be a strange thing!"

Xia Tian's eyes moved.

Sure enough, the words of Earth's Will before were not false.

Although the guards in this secret realm of the Imperial Tomb are tight, extremely powerful and dangerous, there are also a lot of treasures!
Although the grade of this palace lantern is only green, it is just a lamp for lighting in a tomb. Just the decorations used for lighting have become a green "wonder" because of the condensed laws of heaven and earth.

And it has two very practical features.

Especially this "eternal lamp" can continuously absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to produce "fish oil" like a "golden wine pot".

In addition to conventional "cold weapons", the territory has also begun to try to use "hot weapons" in today's battles. However, whether it is black powder or ground flint, they are limited by the materials, so that they can only be used on the battlefield. It can be used in small amounts, but now there is another new type of high-quality fuel that can be continuously generated!
　Well, I wasn’t able to release it earlier, but it was even further behind!
　　I actually stayed in front of the computer today and wrote 4000 words, but in the end, even the quality of the [-] words I sent out was not very satisfactory...

　　This kind of detailed writing of copy content chapters is really a test of my own writing ability.

　　I decided to write about this secret of the imperial tomb seriously, instead of skipping it quickly as it was difficult to write about before.

　　Probably, it will take several more chapters to end. I hope I won’t lose too many readers because of this...
