Chapter 2248: Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang!

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is adjacent to Lishan Mountain in the south and the shore of the Wei River in the north.

Lishan Mountain is a branch of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, stretching about 25 kilometers from east to west and about 7 kilometers wide from north to south.

Legend has it that the mountain looks like a black horse, hence its name.

Lishan Mountain is about 1,000 meters above sea level, with scattered faults and alternating mountains and ravines, forming valleys running north-south, from which rivers have developed. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is located on the alluvial fan formed by the river at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain.

This section of the mountain range is symmetrical, with lush forests and alternating valleys and peaks. The mountain is spread out in a slight arc in the south of the mausoleum, resembling a blooming lotus. The imperial mausoleum is surrounded by the mountains of Lishan Mountain and is integrated with the entire Lishan Mountain, just like a lotus stamen. middle.

From the practical point of view at that time and the Feng Shui concept of later generations, this was an ideal place to set up a cemetery.

It is backed by mountains to the south, surrounded by water on three sides on the east, west and north sides. "Surrounded by mountains and rivers" is the most important geographical feature of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is divided into two parts: the cemetery area and the burial area. The cemetery occupies a very large area.

The mausoleum is approximately square, with a flat top and a slightly stepped waist. It is 76 meters high, 345 meters long from east to west, and 350 meters wide from north to south. It covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is the first emperor's cemetery in Chinese history. The cemetery was built in accordance with the principle of "death is as life is" and was built after the layout of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty. It is generally in the shape of a return.

The magnificent gates and dormitory buildings, as well as more than 600 burial tombs and burial pits, together form the complete shape of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum on the ground, and this shape obviously imitates the palace and capital layout of Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

In the eyes of most people, the most important part of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is the underground palace located under the seal that has not yet been discovered by the world!

It is said that in the underground palace, the First Emperor placed "Nine Heavens" and "Nine States" with various substitutes, demonstrating his unrivaled ambition to own the entire world.

Legendary buildings such as the "Mercury Galaxy" and "Starry Sky" are all hidden in the underground palace.

However, this mausoleum of an eternal emperor has not yet been fully excavated. Many legends are just rumors without any facts to support it.

now.

Xu Fu has already led a group of confidants to the northern foot of Lishan Mountain.

After arriving here, Xu Fu did not immediately move towards the ground building of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, but asked all his men to stop.

The four major subordinates around him... Tianzhe's whereabouts are unknown and have lost contact. The same is true for Huangzhe. The only ones who can follow him are Xuanzhe who is proficient in astronomy, geography and modern technology, and the popular star in China. By.

At this time, Xu Fu looked at everything around him expressionlessly and suddenly asked:

"Xuanzhe, I asked you to find the secret passage in Lishan Mountain... have you found it?"

Xuan Zhe's face was filled with joy, secretly saying that his role could finally be reflected. So, he pointed in a certain direction excitedly and replied in a deep voice:

"Master, I followed your instructions and found the secret passage half a year ago!

That secret passage is located in Lishan Mountain! According to the information provided by the master, I spent many years..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Fu waved his hand and said impatiently:

"Tell me the important points!"

Xuanzhe's expression tightened and he immediately replied: "Yes! Master, that passage can indeed lead to the undeveloped underground palace of the Imperial Tomb!"

"really?"

After hearing this, Xu Fu's gloomy face also showed a rare hint of excitement.

Xuanzhe puffed up his chest and said confidently: "Yes, I have secretly sent people to explore this secret passage. They all passed this passage and successfully reached the underground palace! It's just... they He didn’t live long after coming out of the underground palace!”

"Didn't live too long? What do you mean?" Xu Fu raised his eyebrows, his excitement somewhat weakened.

Xuanzhe replied truthfully: "Those people I sent are just ordinary people with pretty good skills. Their physiques are just a little stronger than ordinary people. After leaving the underground palace, they did not show any symptoms at first. .

But a few days later, various strange marks appeared on their bodies. Within a few days, they even died of suffocation. As for the reason... please forgive me for my incompetence! The subordinates are currently unable to figure out the reason for their sudden death! "

After listening to Xuan Zhe's narration, Xu Fu was not worried at all. On the contrary, the excitement in his firm eyes had been upgraded to excitement!

In fact, his body began to tremble slightly. When the Xuan Zhe and the Earth Master saw this scene, they also asked in confusion:

"Master? What's wrong with you? Is the temperature here a little low? Your body has not recovered yet and you are feeling a little unwell?"

At this time, Xu Fu actually let out a deep laugh, which made the two of them even more confused.

"That's the silver scorpion poison... That's one of the top ten strange poisons in the world!

Hahaha, the symptoms on those people you sent are exactly the symptoms of being poisoned by the silver scorpion!

From this point of view, the legendary secret passage can really lead to the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum! Because, in the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb, the first fatal mechanism arranged by the eternal emperor was the Silver Scorpion! "

"Silver Scorpion?"

After hearing this unfamiliar term, Xuan Zhe and Earth Zhe were also confused and looked extremely surprised.

Later, Xu Fu also explained briefly:

"I have a close relationship with Xiang Yeshuang of the Five Poison Sect, and I have read many valuable documents from him.

A document passed down from ancient times once recorded this poisonous creature called silver scorpion.

This thing looks almost the same as an ordinary scorpion, but it is named silver scorpion because it is covered with silver scales.

Ordinary scorpions are highly poisonous, and the toxicity of this silver scorpion is naturally extraordinary.

However, the toxicity of this silver scorpion takes effect later. After being stung by it, it will not take effect on the spot, but will wait for a while before the person touched by it will have poison spots on his body and finally suffocate to death!

It is precisely because the toxicity of the silver scorpion has the characteristic of delayed onset, so in ancient times, many people used it as a secret killing weapon!

In addition, this silver scorpion is silver-white all over. If it is in the light, it is very easy to hide and not be discovered. It is indeed a strange poison that can sneak attack and kill people!

Xuanzhe, the people you sent died because of the silver scorpion poison, which also shows that they have indeed been to the underground palace! The silver scorpion was originally the first deadly mechanism arranged by the first emperor to deal with tomb robbers! "

The mysterious man thought for a moment and said with some concern:

"Master, although the deaths of those people prove the value of this secret passage, but as you said... those silver scorpions are a big trouble." Xu Fu snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Trouble? Compared with the real trouble, what is a few silver scorpions? We can set off after waiting for one more person!"
