Qin Yu and the other three silently followed the goddess. The four of them were all silent. Only the sound of water drops falling from time to time could be heard from the top of the passage above.
Qin Yu looked up with doubts in his eyes. Given the scale of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, it was impossible for groundwater to seep in.
This has nothing to do with the environment. Even if the mausoleum is built under a lake, the strength of the Feng Shui master responsible for its construction can prevent the mausoleum from being eroded by the lake water.
"This is the first of the three springs. According to legend, the tomb of Qin Shihuang was built through the three springs and is located in a place very deep underground." The general explained in a low voice when he saw Qin Yu looking up.
"The first of the three springs?" Qin Yu was stunned for a moment. He had also read records about the core of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum and the location of Xuan Palace. Historical records recorded that Qin Shi Huang's Xuan Palace was built under the three springs and passed through it.
Built on three springs.
However, domestic archaeological experts generally believe that the so-called three springs should refer to the third layer of groundwater at that time. As we all know, groundwater is divided into several layers, and the depth is different according to the different landforms in various places.
Of course, one thing they have in common is that there is not only one layer of underground water, but many layers. This is why in ancient times, after the wells dried up, people continued to dig deeper, hoping to dig into the second layer.
depth of groundwater.
Therefore, according to the description in historical records, domestic archaeological experts have concluded that the so-called construction through three springs should be due to the depth of three layers of underground water during the excavation.
Qin Yu also agreed with the experts' view. However, when the general told him that this was the first of the three springs, Qin Yu changed his original view.
Because, if you look at the depth at this moment, your location cannot be at the depth of the first layer of groundwater, which means that the so-called three springs do not refer to the third layer of groundwater.
"It is a huge mistake to think of the Three Springs as the third layer of underground water. To actually build it through the Three Springs means that Qin Shihuang's Xuan Palace was built under the Three Springs."
There was a solemn look on the general's face, "Nine springs are the underworld, the place of the underworld, so think about where the three springs are."
The general's words made Qin Yu stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Sanquan actually meant this.
"The person who built Qin Shihuang's underground palace was a truly masterful man with extraordinary skills. Let alone building it in Sanquan, I don't think it's strange even if the core Xuan Palace area is built in Jiuquan." Jun Wudi on the side said.
He took this and said.
"Oh, then do you know who built this underground palace?" Qin Yu looked at Jun Wudi and the general.
"Know."
"Who is it?"
"Noisy!" came the voice of the goddess in front. Jun Wudi and the general smiled helplessly at Qin Yu and said nothing. Obviously, these two did not want to make the goddess unhappy.
"After reaching the barrier in front, everyone should close their eyes. If anyone dares to open their eyes, if something unexpected happens, don't blame me for not warning you."
The goddess' voice came coldly, and before Qin Yu could react, the entire figure transformed into an afterimage and disappeared in front of Qin Yu and the others.
Seeing this, Jun Wudi and the general quickly released their legs and ran towards Qin Yu quickly. Only Qin Yu, after looking around for a while, relaxed his pace and followed the two of them.
The speed at which Qin Yu and the others ran with all their strength was almost hundreds of kilometers per hour. However, at this speed, Qin Yu and the others still ran for a full hour before they stopped, because, in front of the three of them,
, a light screen appeared.
But the goddess is still missing.
Jun Wudi and the general almost did not hesitate. They closed their eyes and stepped into the light screen. Their figures disappeared behind the light screen in an instant.
"Forget it, let's make peace with it now."
A helpless wry smile appeared on Qin Yu's face. Among the few people, he was the only one who knew the least about Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. Compared to Jun Wudi and the general, he was simply a blind man. However, even so, he
You can't retreat, you can only go forward step by step.
With his eyes closed, Qin Yu also stepped into the light screen. Although he didn't know what the light screen was, he knew one thing, that is, now is not the time for extraneous matters or curiosity. Since the goddess
If you already have a reminder, just do it.
As soon as he stepped into the light screen, Qin Yu felt the whistling of the wind in his ears and a slight tingling sensation on his whole face. Qin Yu was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He used to ride on a motorcycle while speeding.
, that’s the feeling.
After a long time, Qin Yu felt a solid feeling under his feet, and the tingling sensation on his skin disappeared. Then he opened his eyes.
However, after opening his eyes and seeing the scene in front of him, Qin Yu frowned, because the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the scene after he jumped into the phoenix coffin. It was still a passage.
"Don't doubt it. We have now passed the first of the three springs, and there are still two springs left." Not far from Qin Yu, Jun Wudi glanced at Qin Yu and explained.
So, Qin Yu and the others ran wildly again. An hour later, they appeared in a light screen again. Then, they closed their eyes again and walked into the light screen.
…
This action continued three times. After passing through the light screen for the third time, Qin Yu opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him finally no longer looked like a passage.
What appeared in front of Qin Yu was a simple and majestic Golden Gate. In front of the gate, stood the statues of the four mythical beasts: blue dragon, white tiger, black and white tiger, and Suzaku. They were like four guards, guarding the golden gate.
"Behind the Golden Gate is the Xuan Palace. I have fulfilled my promise to the Imperial Master. Whether you can enter the Golden Gate depends on your own ability. But what I also tell you is that if you don't have the key, it is impossible for you to enter.
Even I may not be able to deal with the four sacred beasts guarding Kinmen, and as for you, you have no chance at all."
The goddess's voice reached the ears of Qin Yu and the others. Qin Yu quickly looked towards the place where the sound came from. The goddess was standing not far from him. However, even so, he still could not see the goddess's face clearly.
Because the goddess's face was covered with a white mist.
Unable to see clearly the appearance of the goddess, Qin Yu felt a trace of regret in his heart. However, on the other side, Jun Wudi and the general showed excitement on their faces. After many years of waiting, they did not expect that they would finally reach this point.
.
"Thank you Goddess for reminding me, but now that we are here, we will not give up."
Jun Wudi stared at the golden door with piercing eyes, a burning look in his eyes.
"You are overestimating your capabilities. If you are seeking death, I will not stop you."
There was obvious disdain in the goddess's tone, as if she was mocking Jun Wudi's whims.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the key to the Golden Gate was a unique thing in the Qin Dynasty. However, I don't know what it is specifically. Only Qin Shihuang and the Imperial Master know it."
The goddess' words made Dejun Wudi and the general look discouraged on their faces. They believed that the goddess would never be alarmist, but they were unwilling to give up like this.
Qin Yu, who was on the side, heard the goddess's description of the key, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try."
Jun Wudi made a decision, and although the general on the side did not speak, his expression told Qin Yu and the others that he had made his decision.
However, just when Jun Wudi and the general were about to take action, Qin Yu called out to stop them.
Jun Wudi and the general were confused as to why Qin Yu was calling them, and looked at Qin Yu with doubtful eyes. However, Qin Yu just said: "Wait for me here for a while."
After saying this, Qin Yu walked back and walked into the light screen. A quarter of an hour later, he appeared in front of Jun Wudi and the others again.
However, when Qin Yu appeared this time, he had something covered with a yellow cloth in his hand. The goddess's eyes fell on Qin Yu's hand, and she let out a cry of surprise. She seemed to have guessed what was in Qin Yu's hand.
.
"I didn't expect that this thing would be in your hands. No wonder, no wonder..."
After hearing what the goddess said, both Jun Wudi and the general looked at the yellow cloth on Qin Yu's hand with some confusion. They still didn't understand what Qin Yu's yellow cloth was that could surprise the goddess so much.
.
Qin Yu, who also heard the words of the goddess, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. Originally, he was not sure whether the thing in his hand was the key to open the golden door, but the words and tone of the goddess made him make a decision in his heart.
The key to opening the Golden Gate is really in your own hands.
Without showing off, Qin Yu directly lifted the yellow cloth. After all, not only Jun Wudi and the general were extremely obsessed with entering the Xuan Palace, he himself was also the same. He must enter this Xuan Palace.
No.
The yellow cloth was lifted up, emitting a ray of white light. When Jun Wudi and the general saw the object under the yellow cloth, their pupils shrank sharply, because they were very familiar with this thing and had been looking for it for many years, but they did not expect it.
, unexpectedly fell into Qin Yu’s hands.
White light flashed, and in Qin Yu's hand, there was a square object, which flashed with light from time to time.
This is a square jade, with a green color at the bottom. This green is extremely transparent and pure, as if it has attractive magic power, making people fascinated and unable to extricate themselves.
From top to bottom, green jade is gradually replaced by golden yellow. This golden yellow color does not give people the feeling of nouveau riche at all, but instead carries a kind of nobility and is a symbol of supremacy. (To be continued)
