"There shouldn't be terracotta soldiers near the Imperial Mausoleum, right?" Ye Li softly muttered. She carefully followed Doctor Lin forward. Even though everything in front of her was a rare treasure, she had no intention of touching it.
Doctor Lin turned around to look at her, "How do you know there are terracotta soldiers?"
Ye Li was shocked, "There really are?" Could this previous dynasty's great ancestor be the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang? Ye Li shook her head to get rid of the wild thoughts in her mind. The Qin Shi Huang swept through the six directions. Although the previous dynasty's great ancestor's martial arts were peerless, he was still lacking. Doctor Lin looked at her and then turned around to continue walking. He said, "According to the ancestor's records, there really were terracotta soldiers. But at that time, the world had just settled down and there was no way to spend such a large amount of money to build an Imperial Mausoleum. So in the end, two-thirds of the great ancestor's plan was cut off. The terracotta soldiers were only mentioned in a few secret records about the great ancestor. " Ye Li sighed. This scale was only one-third. If he really built the entire Imperial Mausoleum, the previous dynasty might have died a hundred or two years earlier.
"Actually, this is not bad. If the future generations have any difficulties, they can just tear down the Imperial Mausoleum. It's enough." Ye Li said with a faint smile. Doctor Lin's cold snort came from the front, "Even the most unfilial of descendants would not tear down their ancestors' tombs." Ye Li blinked, "Then what's the point of hiding so much gold and silver here?" Of course she knew this reasoning. People who had never been emperors would never understand the meaning of building an Imperial Mausoleum like this. With so much money, it would be better to leave it for the future generations to deal with emergencies.
They did not speak along the way. Even with Doctor Lin leading the way, the two of them carefully went around several mechanisms before approaching a palace-like building in the center of the Imperial Mausoleum. Ye Li understood that this was the place where the tomb owner's coffin was placed. This was a building completely carved out of white jade. It stood at the end of the Imperial Mausoleum. Even from far away, this kind of snow-white palace could be seen. When they got closer, they looked at the exquisitely carved window lattice hall. Dragons sat on the eaves, and below the eaves hung lifelike flowers and plants carved out of jade. Dragons and phoenixes were carved on the steps of the palace. Most importantly, there was a huge white dragon coiling around this white palace. The dragon's head was on the roof of the palace, and a pair of huge eyes made of luminous pearls was glaring angrily at the visitors. For some reason, Ye Li couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this luxurious, luxurious, and domineering palace. An extremely strange feeling arose in her heart. However, when she saw Doctor Lin's excited and admiring expression, Ye Li decided not to say anything.
"Master, do you want to go in?" Ye Li couldn't help but ask.
Doctor Lin came back to his senses and put away the expression on his face. He reluctantly looked at the white building in front of him and nodded.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the palace in a daze. The gate of the palace was shut tight; there was no lock or anything else. There was only a piece of black jade engraved with words, surrounded by coiling dragons. The two of them looked at it carefully. There were a few simple words arranged without any pattern, but these words were moving. It was clear that they needed someone to rearrange them. Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the words in front of her — — Sweep, He, Liu, Jun, Xia, Heng, Lin, Tian. It was a very simple eight character game. When put together, it should be Sweep Six, Lord Descends Under the Heavens.
Seeing Doctor Lin move the words on the door, Ye Li frowned slightly. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of unease. However, after looking at it carefully for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what the problem was. Ye Li could only stand to the side and carefully look at Doctor Lin. Suddenly, Ye Li seemed to see the words on the side of the door twist strangely. Ye Li blinked, trying to determine if she was hallucinating or if she really saw something. She carefully looked at the word 'Tian' and finally found that the bottom part of the word 'Tian' was a little crooked for some reason. Moreover, if she looked carefully, she would find that something was slowly squirming. Ye Li's mind raced. Something quickly flashed through her mind. She didn't have time to think carefully. She stretched out her hand and pulled Doctor Lin, who was lowering his head and moving the words, away.
"Aiya …" Doctor Lin cried out in alarm. He didn't need Ye Li to pull him back. He looked at his fingers in shock. Two of his fingers were stuck with some strange black things that were slowly squirming. His fingers were also being corroded at an extremely fast speed. Doctor Lin's expression changed greatly. Ye Li didn't have time to think carefully. She grabbed Doctor Lin's hand and slashed the sharp dagger in her hand. The skin and part of the corroded flesh on Doctor Lin's two fingers were cut off and fell to the ground. Then, the two of them were shocked to find that the rotten flesh on the ground was actually continuing to corrode the white jade foundation on the ground.
They both turned to look at the door. The image on the door was gradually becoming blurry. More and more black things were squirming on it, as if they were about to break free. Ye Li pulled Doctor Lin back two steps and said, "Master, we're in big trouble. Let's go. " Doctor Lin looked at his right hand that was still bleeding. His expression was very ugly. "The secret ancestral records didn't mention this." Ye Li said, "It's clear that the ancestor of the previous dynasty tricked you."
"What is that thing?" The two of them quickly walked down the steps of the palace. But it was clear that the owner of the tomb didn't plan on letting the intruders off so easily. The piers that were originally built on the surface of the mercury river for people to cross suddenly sank to the bottom of the water. Ye Li even heard cracking sounds in many places. It was clearly the sound of some mechanisms being activated. Not to mention that none of them could jump over the mercury river. Even if they could, the following mechanisms and hidden weapons wouldn't be easy to deal with. The designer of the tomb definitely wouldn't have not considered the possibility that the intruders could be a martial arts expert.
The two of them turned back to look at the door. The black things were already beginning to grow bigger. The writing from before couldn't be seen at all. Some of them had already separated from the body and were flying out like small insects. The two of them had seen the power of those small insects. Doctor Lin only touched a little bit and two of his fingers were corroded. There was also a hole the size of a wine cup in the white jade foundation. If they touched their bodies, not only would the two of them die, they would die very miserably.
"What is this thing …" Doctor Lin frowned. Although his family was no longer involved in matters related to tombs, there were still many records in the family. But he was certain that he had never seen this kind of thing before. Ye Li pulled Doctor Lin. While looking for a place to retreat, she vigilantly stared at the black fog not far away. "Master knows about awe-inspiring caterpillar fungus, right?" Doctor Lin didn't understand. "Awe-Inspiring caterpillar fungus? What does this have to do with awe-inspiring caterpillar fungus?" Ye Li said, "It's a worm in the winter and a grass in the summer. This is the same. When it's warm, it's a worm. When it's cold, it's like jade. When Master moved the words, the temperature of his fingers made these small things come alive. Does Master have a way? "
Doctor Lin was helpless. "I've never even seen this damn thing before. What can I do?"
Ye Li said, "Then it's troublesome. If these small things fly everywhere, not only will we be unlucky, but all the treasures in this tomb will also suffer."
