Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle, and the others found the passage that led downstream. It was a narrow stone crevice that could only allow one person to pass through sideways. O'Connor was arranged to take the lead. He bit a flashlight in his mouth and looked down at the compass in his hand. Chen Yulou also had one of the "seized" items that Laura had stuffed into his hand.
Chen Yulou walked at the back. He looked at the compass in his hand with an ugly expression and cursed, "What the hell! The Qi of the earth here is dense, and the Qi of the Dragon Veins and Feng Shui are chaotic. This is a dead end for Feng Shui. However, the First Emperor's mausoleum has excellent Feng Shui. It is protected by the Dragon Veins of the Qinling Mountains, and there is also a Feng Shui formation like the Dark River Yin Corpse Yang Restoration Formation. Logically speaking, this situation should not have happened! "
Partridge Whistle laughed and said, "Brother Chen must be thinking too much!" He took out the dagger and quickly polished it on the ground. When he picked it up, there was a lot of fine gravel on it. Partridge Whistle explained, "I added a little Meteor Magnet when I was forging this dagger. Normal magnets will lose their magnetism after being forged by fire. Only the Meteor Magnet, which is not damaged by fire, can be made into iron with magnetism … Look!"
Chen Yulou took the dagger and saw that the fine iron gravel was slightly trembling on the surface of the dagger.
Comparing the peculiar behavior of the compass and compass in his hands, the conclusion was clear at a glance. Partridge Whistle took back his dagger and said, "Although the compass can sense geomancy, it is after all a metal object. Looking at the disorderly behavior of these magnetic objects, it must be due to the presence of some rare metal or metal."
Laura made an excuse, "The magnetic field around here is chaotic, so the compass and compass are out of order. We need to be careful of losing our direction."
Chen Yulou noticed that after Laura said this, there was a trace of hesitation on her face. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but it was hard for her to say it. They walked close to the stone crevice and gradually had difficulty breathing. It was hard for her to say anything. When they came out of the stone crevice and came to a relatively open cave, Laura hesitantly asked, "I want to know, why didn't we go upstream from the underground river that the Yin Corpses brought us down from? You have friends and subordinates outside, they should be able to save us from the hole we fell into. "
Chen Yulou laughed and said, "So you always wanted to ask this matter. First, my brother Partridge Whistle said, "It has already been an hour since we entered the underground river. He did not know how far he had been swept away, he had relied on the Yin Corpses to bring him down, but to go against the current, did he still need to borrow the Yin Corpses' qi? Secondly, the Yin Corpses must have a reason for bringing us here. If we go upstream, wouldn't that be seeking our own deaths?
"Finally, that underground river represents the Yellow Springs. The Yin Corpses flowing downstream means they were born from death. If we go upstream, wouldn't that be seeking our own deaths? The direction of the river is the legendary Netherworld, going in that direction is seeking death. In Feng Shui, there are many taboos, and going upstream to the Yellow Springs is the taboo of taboos ….. "
As they were talking, O 'Connell and the other two Caucasians, as well as the old Military Counselor Bai, found a dilapidated wall in front of them. The style was somewhat similar to the wall in the Qin and Han Tombs that Chen Yulou had stolen. It was built with rubble and earth, and had coarse cloth tiles. Because of the long years, some parts of it had already collapsed. O'Connor shined his light on the broken wall and a dark mass of things suddenly came out of the cracks in the wall. On the wall, on the ground, they ran everywhere.
They were all millipedes, weasels, and earth elementals that liked dark environments.
Bypassing the broken wall was the real tomb passage. The First Emperor's tomb passage was wide enough for three people to walk side by side. The ground and sides were paved with bricks, but above them was a rock wall. Chen Yulou carefully observed the rock wall and his face became uglier. He suddenly called out to the others and went forward to give a loud roar. Layers upon layers of echoes swept back.
A few of the Westerners were sent down, but Partridge Whistle and Military Counselor Bai were not surprised. This was a unique skill passed down in Chen Yulou's family. It was a unique skill that allowed one to hear the location of the underground tomb, the distribution of space in the underground palace, and the distribution of the chambers in the mausoleum.
In Chen Yulou's family's treasure hunting technique, he was best at finding the traces of the tomb by listening to the sounds and observing the color of the grass and mud. Usually, Chen Yulou loved to search for the tomb during thunderstorms. This was because the loud thunder in the sky would sweep across the land. Chen Yulou could clearly see if there was any abnormal space underground. The last animal that had such an ability was a bat.
Chen Yulou closed his eyes and carefully listened to the echoes, distinguishing between the empty space and solid soil. The others were even careful with their breathing.
However, after Chen Yulou opened his eyes, he shook his head at the others and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid we have already been washed into the belly of Mount Li by the underground river. The mausoleum of the First Emperor is not under the Thousand Li Ming Hall, but directly embedded into the belly of Mount Li. I always thought that opening a mountain as a mausoleum was just a legend, but now it seems that it is true. There is a huge space in front of us, and the entire mausoleum of the First Emperor is shockingly large!"
Partridge Whistle added, "Fengshui of the Qin and Han dynasties was about treating death as life. It was different from the Fengshui techniques of the later dynasties, which were used to bestow good fortune on their descendants. The nobles of that time paid particular attention to ascension and the afterlife. They wanted to live the same life after death, so the mausoleum was usually buried with the tomb owner's daily items and favorite treasures."
"Sometimes, they even used the layout of the tomb when they were alive to set up the tomb. In the tomb, for the dead 'self', there would be a passage to the tomb, and there would even be a variety of burial rooms with different functions. Since the Qin First Emperor had set up the Yin Corpse Return to Yang Formation, he must have planned for his own resurrection in the future. In his mausoleum, the concept of treating death as life would be even more obvious. "
"That is why the whole mausoleum gives people the feeling of a city wall." Chen Yulou continued, "You are saying that these tomb passages were prepared for the First Emperor to patrol after his resurrection?"
"Not only the First Emperor!" Partridge Whistle said with a serious expression, "Don't forget where this leads to."
Chen Yulou came to a realization and said, "That's right, how could Emperor Shihuang revive alone? He must have revived together with his entire empire. His eunuchs, his concubines, his army, his generals, and even the entire imperial court of Great Qin returned to this world to rule China once again. No wonder the scale of the First Emperor's mausoleum is so big. I am afraid this place is not built according to the tomb. "
"It is a city of Xianyang built underground and in the belly of a mountain! According to the historical records, the Qin First Emperor used pearls to decorate the sky of his tomb, imitating the sun, moon, and stars. He used mercury as the river, imitating the rivers of the world. For such a person who wanted to rule the world in his tomb after his death, the mausoleum he arranged for his resurrection would certainly not be like an ordinary one. "
