Even if Lin Yuan had obtained the treasures in the tomb, there was no need for him to kill everyone in the village to silence them. Because these people were the descendants of the Gaozu's loyal subjects from hundreds of years ago. What was even stranger was that Lin Yuan, as a descendant of the previous dynasty's imperial family, didn't know the secret of the tomb. Instead, Doctor Lin, the one who raised him, knew. Of course … if it was explained by Lin Yuan's young age, it would make sense. But … if Doctor Lin didn't want him to have thoughts of reviving the country, he could have kept his identity a secret. When Lin Yuan first came to this village, he was only one year old. There was no way he could remember anything. Looking up at Doctor Lin, who was sitting in a daze, Ye Li raised her eyebrows. This Lin Yuan … She felt that something was wrong. And that Emperor Gaozu's treasure, it didn't seem to be a normal treasure like gold and silver or antiques. It also didn't seem to be a secret military manual or a legendary treasure like a sword or a sword. Then … what exactly was it?
Ye Li looked regretfully at her belly. If it weren't for the inconvenience of having a baby, she wouldn't have minded exploring the treasures and secrets of the previous dynasty's founding emperor.
After resting enough, the two got up and followed the route shown on the map. Regardless of whether the tomb was dangerous or not, the feeling of being in this enclosed space was not pleasant. Along the way, Ye Li habitually memorized the route they took. As a former special forces soldier, a good sense of direction was a must. At least, no matter where she was, she never had to worry about getting lost. The two silently walked forward. Ye Li looked at the increasingly luxurious decorations and frowned slightly. She casually asked, "Master, are we going the wrong way?"
Doctor Lin looked down at the map in his hand and turned to look at her. "Oh? What do you mean? "
Ye Li frowned and said, "We seem to be walking towards the middle of the Imperial Mausoleum, which is opposite of the exit." Even if the Imperial Mausoleum did not give a straight path, it was impossible for it to be completely opposite, right? Even if the earth was round, the tomb didn't cover the entire earth. Doctor Lin looked at her and said, "Who said we were in Hongzhou?" Ye Li was speechless as she looked at Doctor Lin. Even if he wasn't in Hongzhou, he couldn't be in the center of the mausoleum, right? Being stared at by Ye Li like this, Doctor Lin felt a little uncomfortable, so he said: "Alright, I have to go and get something before I can go out. If you don't want to go, you can wait for me here, or you can take a look at this map and make a copy of it before leaving. "
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. At least this proved that this cheap master had no intention of harming her. Otherwise … Although she was confident that she could restrain him, it was hard to say what she would encounter in the imperial mausoleum that had existed for hundreds of years. After thinking about it, Ye Li hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lin Yuan … Is there any other way to get in?" Doctor Lin clearly didn't want to give the item to Lin Yuan, so he wanted to take it away. Doctor Lin was silent, but Ye Li understood from his expression. As expected … the saying that there was only one exit was never reliable. For example, it was said that the ancient craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum would leave a secret passage for themselves to prevent the royal family from silencing them.
Shrugging her shoulders, Ye Li smiled and said: "I'll go with master. What if I get lost and can't get out? "
"You should think carefully. From what I know, this imperial mausoleum isn't dangerous. You can wait for me at the exit. If I don't come in two days, you can open the mechanism and leave."
Ye Li looked around and said: "I didn't know if this place was dangerous or not, but now it might not be. I'm a girl and walking alone in the imperial mausoleum is always a little scary. Following master will give me some courage. " Doctor Lin looked deeply at her and sighed. He turned around and walked forward: "I don't know why you insist on following me. If you get involved, don't blame this old man." Ye Li smiled and walked two steps forward: "Because you're my master. I know you're a good person." Doctor Lin snorted. "I'm not a good person. Don't pretend to be ignorant in front of me. This old man has seen a lot of people in his life, but there are only a few that I can't see through. "Ye Li pretended not to notice his sarcasm and blinked her eyes." Master, are you praising me? "
The master and disciple walked and stopped. Because they had to take care of Ye Li's health and Doctor Lin was not young, they didn't walk very fast. There was no light in the imperial mausoleum, so Ye Li could only estimate the time. After they entered the imperial mausoleum, they walked and stopped for six to eight hours. They then rested in a stone room for a few hours. They had spent more than a day in there. But the two of them had only just reached the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. Standing in front of a majestic palace door, Doctor Lin turned to Ye Li and said: "Be careful when you go in. Don't touch anything you shouldn't touch. If you trigger any traps, don't blame me for not warning you." Ye Li looked at him, "Master clearly said that there wasn't any danger in here." Doctor Lin snorted and a proud expression appeared on his face, "Of course there isn't any danger if you follow me. If you follow someone else, then it might not be so. Previously, when we were outside the imperial mausoleum, it was just a smokescreen. There are at least five times more traps inside than outside. "
Ye Li wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, "Master, your disciple feels like we've fallen into a trap. What would have happened if I hadn't come in with you?"
Doctor Lin's lips twitched without a trace of a smile, "The traps at the exit aren't any less than inside. Also, the map to decipher the traps is placed together with the treasure. "
"You know so well," Ye Li muttered in a low voice. The mausoleum was silent, so Doctor Lin naturally heard Ye Li's voice clearly. He smiled proudly and said: "This mausoleum was designed and built by our ancestors. Do you think there's anyone in this world who knows it better than me?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and followed closely behind Doctor Lin.
After entering the imperial mausoleum, Ye Li finally understood what an imperial mausoleum was. No one knew what the inside of Emperor Qin's mausoleum was like. In her previous life, Ye Li had seen many imperial mausoleums that had been plundered or excavated by grave robbers. They could only be considered historical remains. Ye Li remembered that the historical records had once recorded the Emperor Qin's mausoleum: "Through the three springs, copper was poured into the coffin. The palace was filled with hundreds of officials, strange and strange objects. Mercury was used as the rivers and the seas, and the mechanics were imbued. Astronomy above, geography below. Mermaid paste was used as a candle to help those who were not extinguished for a long time. " She didn't know if this mausoleum was as grand and magnificent as the Emperor Qin's mausoleum, but the scene in front of her was enough to prove that it was at least comparable to the Emperor Qin's mausoleum.
The marble floor and walls were exquisitely carved, and lines of mercury and stars were densely packed in the astonishingly large mausoleum. She raised her head to look at the stars in the sky, which were all illuminated by various luminous pearls. The funerary objects in the mausoleum weren't bronze objects, but all kinds of exquisite gold, jade, and precious stones. The mausoleum was surrounded by lamps. In addition to the countless treasures in the mausoleum, the entire mausoleum was as bright as day. Looking at the dazzling mausoleum in front of her, which looked just like a miniature version of the imperial city, Ye Li couldn't help but pay attention to the few short sentences in the historical records … Were ancient imperial mausoleums so similar regardless of time and space?
