2567. Chapter 2567 Large Terracotta Warriors
Seeing this exit, Yelu Ying was shocked. She had never entered the tomb, so she naturally didn't know how many mechanisms there would be in the tomb. She could not imagine that there was such a secret passage hidden in such a stone corridor.
"Brother Ye, how do you know there will be secret passages on both sides of the stone corridor?" Yelu Ying said: "If I were to walk here by myself, I would never have thought that there would be other secret passages here."
Ye Qing shrugged and said, "I just guessed that there might be secret passages nearby, so I tried to knock on the wall. Those who fight back do this. If you go to the tomb a few more times, you will develop this habit. There may be mechanisms and secret passages everywhere in the tomb, and you must be particularly careful to find out!"
Yelu Ying stuck out her tongue and whispered: "That way, robbing tombs is not an easy task."
"Of course." Ye Qing nodded and said, "Especially the tombs of the ancient princes and nobles, there are many mechanisms and the secret passages are complicated and difficult to open."
"Oh?" Yelu Ying thought for a while and suddenly said, "Brother Ye, you said this should be an imperial tomb, so will there be many mechanisms here?"
This made Ye Qing's heart suddenly stumble, and he almost forgot about this matter. That's right, according to his analysis just now, this stone corridor and the hall behind should also be an imperial tomb. In ancient times, there were usually complex and crises in the imperial tombs. I don't know if there would be any mechanisms and dangers in this imperial tomb?
"Don't walk around behind me!" Ye Qing pulled Yelu Ying behind him, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the secret passage.
Yelu Ying felt an indescribable sense of security when she was protected by Ye Qing like this. She followed Ye Qing and slowly walked into the secret passage. However, after walking two steps forward, Ye Qing stopped suddenly.
Yelu Ying couldn't help but be surprised and looked up, but saw nothing.
"Brother Ye..." Ye Lu Ying was about to speak, but Ye Qing quickly made a gesture to silence her. Ye Lu Ying was surprised. Looking at Ye Qing's solemn expression, she didn't know what Ye Qing had discovered, and she became nervous.
Yelu Ying looked carefully in the direction of Ye Qing's look. This time she finally saw something. In the darkness ahead, there were many people standing in a silhouette, as if they were staring at them from a distance. In such darkness, such a scene was particularly frightening.
It was because he had experienced too many things just now that Yelu Ying had already felt a little resistant. So, seeing these people, although Yelu Ying was frightened, she did not make any sound. She just grabbed Ye Qing's arm tightly, and she could feel her fear from her trembling body.
Ye Qing waved his hand to Yelu Ying, indicating that she should not panic. After all, Ye Qing entered the tomb many times and had seen many similar things, so he was able to remain calm. Moreover, these people stood in the dark and remained motionless from beginning to end, which made Ye Qing not so worried. If it were really a powerful monster, I am afraid that they would have rushed over to attack them when they discovered them.
Even so, Ye Qing took out the scabbard of the Miao Dao Ancestor and held it tightly in his hand. He took a deep breath and then he took Yelu Ying slowly towards those people.
As we walked slowly forward, we got closer and closer to these people, the appearance of these people became clearer and clearer. Of course, the first thing we saw was the outline. From a distance, we could see that these people were tall and strong, much stronger than ordinary people. When we got closer, we could see that these people were actually wearing armor, just like soldiers in ancient times.
Seeing this outfit, Ye Qing breathed a little relieved. These figures wearing armor mean that they should be humans, not human-shaped monsters, etc., which is a little better. After all, you can still reason with people, but you can't communicate with monsters.
He continued to move forward with Yelu Ying, and as he gradually approached, the appearance of these people became clearer and clearer. These people were not only wearing armor, but also holding various weapons in their hands, and lined up in neat rows, just like neat soldiers in ancient times. Moreover, there were obviously some horses in the crowd behind, and even the horses were wearing some armor, which looked like a complete regiment.
How could there be such a corps in such a tomb? Moreover, from this armor, these people should have existed for at least a few thousand years. For thousands of years, no matter whoever is going to die, how could these people still be alive?
With doubts and shock, Ye Qing also had a little cold sweat in his palm. Thinking about the corpses of soldiers in the pit outside, Ye Qing was wondering, were these people also some corpses?
As he got closer and closer, Ye Qing finally stopped suddenly and looked at the people in front of him with an incredible look on his face.
Yelu Ying's eyesight was not as good as Ye Qing, and she hadn't seen clearly what was going on. Seeing Ye Qing stop, she couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly stopped and whispered: "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
"Those..." Ye Qing pointed at the people in front of him and said in shock: "Those are not humans!"
"Ah?" Yelu Ying gasped: "It's not a human, then...what is that?"
"That's some clay sculptures!" Ye Qing answered, and quickly walked forward with Yelu Ying.
The closer they were to those people, the clearer Yelu Ying could see. As Ye Qing said, when she saw the real situation of these people, she was also shocked to find that these were not people, but just sculptures.
These clay sculptures stand in a huge cave, and Ye Qing and Yelu Ying are standing in the stone corridor outside the cave. From this angle, they can only see the clay sculptures inside, but they cannot see the entire view of the cave clearly.
As the two gradually approached the cave, the situation in the cave was seen more. In this cave, there were such clay sculptures everywhere, lined up neatly, just like soldiers being inspected. The scope of the cave was also very wide, and at a glance, it was almost as big as two or three football fields.
The distance between clay sculptures is not large. From a glance, there are all kinds of clay sculptures, densely packed with the entire cave. The shapes of these clay sculptures are also different. Ye Qing and the others just came from the stone corridor, so they could only see the clay sculptures standing with weapons on the front, as well as some horse-type clay sculptures. When they entered the cave, everything in the cave could be clearly seen, and more clay sculptures could be seen, such as some clay sculptures riding on horses and some clay sculptures with horse-drawn carts. Anyway, in this cave, you can find many ancient arms, and these clay sculptures represent many arms. Together, they are completely a complete legion!
So many clay sculptures are placed together, and it also makes you look spectacular. Especially these clay sculptures are tall, each clay sculpture is about two meters tall, which is much taller than ordinary people. Therefore, standing in front of these clay sculptures really gives people a shocking feeling.
Yelu Ying looked at the clay sculptures carefully and whispered: "How come these clay sculptures look so much like the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Emperor?"
"Terracotta Warriors?" Ye Qing's heart moved. When he saw these clay sculptures just now, he also felt that these clay sculptures looked familiar. Now, after hearing what Yelu Ying said, he also remembered them. These clay sculptures do look like Terracotta Warriors. However, Ye Qing had only seen pictures of the Terracotta Warriors in history books. Ye Qing had never seen the specific appearance, so he didn't remember them for a while.
"Have you seen the real Terracotta Warriors?" Ye Qing asked hurriedly.
"See!" Yelu Ying nodded and said, "Every generation of our family will go to see the Terracotta Warriors. As the first emperor in history, the First Emperor, his tomb and his burial objects, are worthy of the attention of every royal family!"
Ye Qing said: "Then are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses you have seen the same as these Terracotta Warriors?"
"The appearances are the same, but the heights are different." Yelu Ying said: "The Terracotta Warriors and Horses we have seen are about the same size as normal people, 1.71.8 meters tall. And these clay sculptures are really too tall. If it weren't for the fact that these clay sculptures were too tall, I would have thought these were the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Emperor!"
"It's really the same?" Ye Qing said: "Look carefully, weapons, outfits, and even expressions."
Yelu Ying looked carefully, pondered for a while, and nodded decisively: "It's really the same, the weapons and armor are all the same. I remember it very clearly because I've seen it several times!"
Ye Qing took a deep breath. This question of size actually bothered him. However, Yelu Ying's words made him have some ideas. These clay sculptures are similar to the appearance of the Qin Emperor Terracotta Warriors, so it means that these Terracotta Warriors must also come from the Qin State. Because, in that era, the weapons and armors between each country had their own characteristics.
For example, when Ye Qing saw the hundreds of thousands of corpses outside, they were dressed by soldiers in the State of Zhao, because those dresses had the characteristics of the State of Zhao. The clay sculptures here are the same, which are basically the same as the shapes of the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Emperor, which means that these clay sculptures must have come from the Qin Dynasty. However, it is a big question which king of these clay sculptures were built by the Qin Dynasty.
However, one thing is very clear, that is, this imperial tomb must have been built by a certain king before the First Emperor. Because, not long after the First Emperor, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and entered the era of the Chu-Han war of hegemony. In other words, no emperor of the Qin Dynasty could have such courage to build such a large tomb and put so many clay sculptures in it.
