Chapter 244 Nine-story Demon Tower

Life is a storm of reincarnation!

With infinite sighs and feelings, we continued to walk along the river dam.

I don’t know if it was affected by the incident just now, but everyone rarely talked and thought about their own thoughts quietly.

This section of the river dam is more than 100 meters long. When you walk to the end of the river dam, it turns out to be a corner. At the corner is a "z"-shaped stone staircase, which leads to the lower floor of the underground palace along the stone staircase.

"There is more than one floor in this underground palace!" Everyone screamed in surprise.

In the ancient cemetery underground palaces we have seen, there are few underground palaces with two levels above and below. One is that it is very difficult to build, and the other is that it consumes more manpower and material resources. But we never expected that as large as the Qin Shihuang underground palace, there are still two levels above and below. The scale of this construction once again exceeded our imagination.

I think since entering the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, all our imaginations are vulnerable here.

All things that exist here are outside our imagination.

When you think you know a lot of things here, you may not even discover the secret of the tip of the iceberg.

Old Yang walked beside me and saw me lowering my head and not speaking: "Tuoba Gu, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking of a very serious question!" I replied with my head down.

"A very serious question? Let's talk about it!" Lao Yang asked.

I took a breath: "Before I came to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, I had consulted a lot of information about Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum at home. I saw a rumor about the 'Nine-Story Demon Tower' in historical documents!"

"Nine-level demon tower? What? Just listening to the name makes me scary!" said the old bird.

"The Nine-level Demon Tower refers to the First Emperor's Underground Palace!" I said lightly.

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. Why can the First Emperor’s underground palace be connected with the Nine-level Demon Tower?

"Do you know the word "Nine Five Lords"?" I asked everyone.

"Know a little!" Cao Yi replied seriously: "The word "Nine Five" comes from the "Book of Changes". The version of "Book of Changes" that has been passed down now is said to be performed by King Wen of Zhou, so it is also called "Zhou Yi". The first hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams of the "Zhou Yi" is Qian hexagram, which symbolizes the sky, so it becomes a hexagram representing the emperor. The Qian hexagram consists of six yang lines, which is the extreme yang and the extreme prosperity. From the bottom to the top, the fifth line is called "Nine Five", which represents this line as the yang line, and the fifth line means the fifth line. Because the Yin-Yang transformation of the Book of Changes, the prosperity will inevitably decline, so "Nine Five" is "Flying Dragon in the Sky", while "The upper nine" is "The dragon has regrets".

From the hexagram word, the "Super Nine" is the most yang line, and there is no room for upwardness, and it will inevitably decline. Therefore, it will appear in a bad situation. Therefore, Nine Five is the best line in the Qian hexagram, and Qian hexagram is the first hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams. Therefore, Nine Five is the best line of the sixty-four hexagrams, and becomes the emperor's appearance.

Therefore, the Nine Five Lord represents the emperor, and the strange thing is that the use of the two numbers "Nine" and "Five" in architecture is also very in line with aesthetic principles!"

"The answer was very detailed, this is not just a little bit!" I exclaimed with a thumbs up, Cao Yi is also a knowledgeable woman.

Lao Yang said proudly: "That's of course! Our Crime Team Flower is a top student who graduated from a prestigious university!"

"Go! No matter how good a top student is, he is not as good as my master!" Xiao Guoguo pouted and muttered angrily from the side. She muttered softly, but no one else heard it.

"Okay, Xiaogu, please turn the topic back. What kind of connection does this Nine Five Lord and the Nine-Level Demon Tower have with the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?" Lao Yang couldn't wait to urge me to continue.

"Since nine symbolizes the appearance of an emperor, ancient emperors attached great importance to and loved the number nine. As rumored, in order to highlight his kingly status, Qin Shihuang specially built nine floors of the underground palace. Each floor of the underground palace was covered with hidden weapons, so later generations called the Qin Emperor's underground palace the 'nine-level demon tower!" I preached slowly.

"What? The Nine-level Demon Tower? What do you mean is that the Qin Emperor's underground palace has nine floors?!" Uncle Liu Er was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

"Then aren't we just finished the first floor now, and there are eight underground palaces waiting for us?" People stared at each other with big eyes, and were so shocked that they were extremely shocked.

"It's very likely!" I thought, "Of course, this is just a rumor. Maybe the Infernal Palace of the First Emperor is not as high as nine floors? Let's not put too much psychological pressure on ourselves!"

"Will the historical rumors be a little exaggerated?" Cao Yi looked at me and said in confusion and surprise: "The area of ​​the first floor of the underground palace is so huge. According to this scale, the bottom floor of the underground palace, that is, the ninth floor of the underground palace, will not cover an extremely huge area? It is so large that it is unimaginable? Will the project volume exceed imagination?"

"Everything here is already beyond imagination. I think even if two aliens appear in the underground palace, I will not be surprised!" Fang Weiran said.

I glanced at Fang Weiran: "You can't say anything. There are really records of Qin Shihuang's communication with aliens in historical documents! Maybe we can really find traces left by alien civilizations in the underground palace!"

After a pause, I continued, "Okay, this is a bit far-reaching. I'd better answer the question raised by Cao Yi just now! According to relevant information, the First Emperor's underground palace may not be the traditional over-dump type. The so-called over-dump type mausoleum structure is a shape similar to a multi-layer cake or a pyramid. The structural shape of the First Emperor's underground palace is likely to be the inverted pyramid shape that subverts our imagination, and it is rumored that the seal mound on the upper and lower parts are also a nine-layer mound. The seal mound is a regular pyramid shape, and the underground palace below is an inverted pyramid shape. The entire Qinhuang underground palace is like two pyramids closely bonded together! Do you think such a structure is very strange and weird? Of course, these are just rumors, no clear conclusions, and it remains to be investigated by science!"

My words made everyone present dumbfounded. It took several minutes before someone exclaimed a burst of awesome.

The sentence that Yue Xiaojun then came out was even more amazing: "I think this rumor is very likely to be true! Because I just recalled it, the mound on it seems that it is really nine floors high!"

"No? How did you know that the mound of soil is nine stories high?" Everyone turned their heads and looked at Yue Xiaojun in confusion.

Yue Xiaojun said: "When I entered the tomb passage just now, I kept walking at the end of the team. Every time I turned a corner, I would pay a little attention. I clearly remember that from entering the tomb passage to the dragon gate, we passed by nine corners in total!"

"Are you sure you remember correctly?" Uncle Liu Er asked.

"Of course not! There are only nine corners, how could I remember it wrong?" Yue Xiaojun touched his head honestly and smiled.

We were secretly amazed at the exquisite structure of the First Emperor underground palace, while we were also full of concerns about the future. Because if what Yue Xiaojun said was true, it proves that the legend of the "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is very likely to be true. That is to say, the First Emperor underground palace is really as high as nine floors!

I'm so amazing!

Go deep into the underground palace on the nine floors!

The inverted pyramid buried deep in the ground!

Moreover, the structural scale of this pyramid is far greater than that of the largest Khufu pyramid in Egypt!

So, how big is the famous Khufu pyramid?

The Khufu Pyramid is equivalent to a 40-storey skyscraper, with an area of ​​52,900 square meters on the bottom of the tower. The entire pyramid is made of about 2.3 million stones, with an outer layer of about 115,000 stones, and an average weight of 2.5 tons per piece, as big as a car, and even more than 15 tons. If these stones are chiseled into small pieces that are averaged one cubic foot and lined up along the equator, their length is equivalent to two-thirds of the circumference of the equator. According to the estimates of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, it took a total of 30 years to build the Khufu Pyramid, and the annual labor force reached an astonishing 100,000 people.

What an incredible set of data!

What a huge and magnificent construction project!

All these terrifying data were refreshed by the First Emperor Underground Palace. When comparing the two, I believe everyone has a clear idea of ​​how big the First Emperor Underground Palace is. Although I know, this data is incredible.

At this moment, we are in the body of this world's largest magnificent building. I can imagine that this world's largest building is made of many white bones, and there is a dry bone under almost every bluestone!

This is not an underground palace, it is simply a huge city of death built with white bones!

After a while of shock, our thinking finally returned to reality.

Even if this is really a nine-story demon tower, we still have to go on without hesitation, because each of us has different responsibilities and beliefs.

The responsibility of the Crime Team is to capture the mercenary gang that shot and killed the security guards;

The duty of the tomb guard is to fulfill the mission of protecting the imperial tombs for thousands of years;

Xiao Guoguo and I were in the firm belief of finding the immortal grass and rescuing the ancient medley.

Different responsibilities and beliefs bring together these three different teams. Even if the road ahead is dead for a lifetime, I think no one in this team will be afraid of retreating!

We will definitely walk bravely! Let’s walk!

Everyone stood at the entrance of the second floor underground palace to rest for a while. They were also thirsty along the way. They took out the water to replenish some water, and calmed down their uncontrollable excitement.

"Brothers, let's go! Those mercenaries may have left us far behind!" Old Yang called everyone to go on the road.
Chapter completed!
