1920 was the third year after the end of the First World War and the eighth year after the establishment of the Republic of China. In July of this year, the Zhili – Anhui War broke out in China. Wu Peifu tried to capture Duan Qirui but failed. Duan Qirui of the Anhui faction was defeated. On July 17, floods flooded the four counties of Zhejiang, Jiangzhou, Wenling and others. The disaster was unprecedented in 60 years.
On December 16, 280,000 people died in Haiyuan, Gansu (Ningxia Haiyuan earthquake today).
It was under these circumstances that Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou came to Xi 'an, Shaanxi. Chen Yulou was a well-known figure in the Lulin Society. In every dynasty and every generation, only when the world was in chaos would the Xieling Bandits live in the mountains and rivers. They would dig up tombs and break the Dragon Vein of the Royal Tombs. During peaceful times, the government was in charge. China had always been strict with household registration checks. A large group of refugees like the Xieling Bandits would wander around and become a thorn in the side of the government sooner or later.
Therefore, it was only when the world was in chaos and the vagrants became bandits that these Xieling Bandits could change their appearance and put on the identity of the Lulin. Usually, they would roam the mountains and forests, and there would be troops who would travel everywhere to observe the landscape of the mountains and rivers. Once they found a great tomb, they would gather and rob the tomb clean.
Chen Yulou's father was the head of the Xieling Bandits. He controlled the famous horse bandits in Henan, Shaanxi, Two Lakes and several other provinces. He was a big figure in the Three Provinces and Four Rivers.
Partridge Whistle came from the Zagrama Tribe. In order to break the curse caused by the shaman in the tribe who used the jade eye to peek into the virtual space, these people painstakingly searched for the Muchen Pearl that appeared for a fleeting moment during the time of Emperor Wu of Han. In order to find the Great Tomb, they formed a branch of the Inverted Fighting Sect – the Banshan Taoist. After thousands of years of inheritance, Partridge Whistle was probably the last Banshan Taoist in their tribe.
When he was young, he learned this skill from a tomb raider whose name was Liao Chen. He became a master of two great inheritances. Chen Yulou knew about his skill and insisted on bringing him on board.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were in the territory near the ancient city of Xi 'an. They found a clue at the northern foot of Mount Li, the shore of the ancient Wei River, east of Lintong County and Ma' er. Partridge Whistle saw that the terrain here was very open. The mountain range was symmetrical on both sides, the forest was lush, the valleys and peaks intersected. The mountain range was slightly curved in the south of Mount Li, like a blooming Lianhua. The Imperial Mausoleum was in the middle of Mount Li, surrounded by peaks and ridges. It was one with the entire Mount Li, like a lotus bud in the middle.
According to Fengshui, this place was the remnant of the Qinling Dragon Vein. Partridge Whistle had been traveling all over Mount Li these past few days. Only then did he have the confidence to tell Chen Yulou, "The First Emperor had the ability to conquer heaven and earth. He was the ruler who unified the four seas. Although his second generation died early, his burial place must be the Dragon Vein True Cave, the main vein of Daqin. This kind of Dragon Vein True Cave cannot be hidden easily. That is why so many Imperial Mausoleums have been robbed."
"The Taizu Mountain of the First Emperor's Imperial Mausoleum carries the Qinling Dragon Vein through Mount Li. The Wei River flows from the Qinling Mountains to Xianyang. Layer by layer, it repeatedly opens the tents, passes through the gorge, gathers its qi, and travels to the shore of the ancient Wei River. Then it enters the protruding cave where the Star Sand intersects with the water and the Yin and Yang match.
The Imperial Mausoleum is the Imperial Mausoleum. There is an open plain east of Lintong County to Ma 'er. The Imperial Mausoleum is located at the Fetus, Nurturing, Longevity, Crown and Belt areas. It should be the most appropriate location to locate it from here. "
"Good! You are worthy of being Partridge Whistle, who has two branches! " Chen Yulou was overjoyed, "Since you have already located the Earth Vein, then it is time for us Xianling branch to show our skills!" Since ancient times, the Xianling Strongmen were skilled in equipment and cooperation. Even the Qin Emperor's Underground Palace was not difficult for them to create a tunnel that led directly to the main burial chamber.
However, what the two of them did not expect was that although the main structure of the First Emperor's Imperial Mausoleum still followed Fengshui geography, after Yinglong and the others' crazy modifications, the Underground Palace was so vast that it could no longer be called an Underground Palace, but an Underground City. The entire First Emperor's Imperial Mausoleum was embedded in Mount Li, covering an area of more than two hundred square kilometers. It was built into a complete Underground City by the construction robots.
It was really unimaginable for the two of them!
As for O'Connor, Indiana Jones, Countess Laura, and the others overseas, the distance from London to Shaanxi was very high. Fortunately, the Government of the United Kingdom knew the importance of the matter and the urgency of the situation. On top of that, Imoden burned and killed along the way and swept across the British Isles. Countless people were killed, forcing the few of them to travel through the night and night. All the British colonies overseas gave them their full support.
At the beginning of the 20th century, they set a record for a flight around the world. In just ten days, they landed outside an airport temporarily requisitioned by the British Consulate in Wuhan. In these ten days, Imoden's Army of the Dead had already reached Cambridge, which was only a dozen kilometers away from Coventry. The entire United Kingdom was in a crisis of national annihilation.
The Wuhan Council did not dare to delay and arranged for them to board the plane to Shaanxi that very night.
O'Connor looked at the vast fertile land outside the window and seemed to have a lot on his mind. Indiana Jones had already asked for the key information in detail on the way. He spread out the map on the table and pointed in the direction of Mount Li. He said, "Although London fell and most of the precious historical information about China was left in the British Museum, after my infiltration and excavation and the government's investigation, we have already locked the Dragon Emperor's tomb in this area."
O'Connor nodded and said, "Don't worry about the manpower. The Council has already reached an agreement with one of the biggest warlords in China, Mr. Pefu Wu. We have also reached an agreement with the Guoming government in the south. In China, we will be unimpeded. The Empire requires the warlords in both the north and south of China to give us the greatest convenience. For this, we have to pay a certain price in diplomacy."
Laura frowned and said, "Are you sure that there won't be a strong protest from the media and newspapers if we go to dig up the tomb of their oldest emperor? I mean, China is becoming more and more nationalistic. I'm afraid that their people will not agree to let us dig up their ancient monuments. "
O'Connor sneered and said, "The British Empire will not care about the protests of their people. This journey is related to the safety of our country. No matter which warlord, they will not be able to bear the consequences of the Imperial Government's wrath. They will obediently take us there. As for those newspapers, if they don't shut up, they will never be able to open their mouths again. No one will care about the protests of the dead. "
"The Wuhan Consulate informed us that when they received the order from the British Prime Minister, they had already arranged for people to go to Xi 'an first. They have contacted a group of China's civilian explorers to help us go down to the tomb and find Imoden's divinity. "
"There is also a battalion of British Army with us. They are responsible for protecting us and supervising and controlling the entire excavation camp. We need about 5,000 people to be responsible for the excavation and exploration. It is too dangerous without an army to suppress it!"
"5,000 people?" Laura exclaimed in disbelief. "Is there a pyramid buried there?"
