The three of them walked past these murals without stopping. The throne of the Qin First Emperor was right in front of them, so they could only look at these amazing colorful murals hastily. Their attention was still focused on the figure sitting on the throne. Before Partridge Whistle could confirm that there were no traps in front of them, Xiao Lin hurriedly ran up.
Holding the dagger, she was about to rush to the throne behind the table and stab it down.
However, just as she rushed to the front of the steps, Xiao Lin was stunned. Partridge Whistle and Chen Xiaobei hurried to catch up. Only then did they see that the figure on the throne was not the corpse of the First Emperor, but a set of clothes of the First Emperor when he was alive. After two thousand years, the string of beads on the crown was still vivid and lifelike. Unexpectedly, this set of clothes was not very powerful and luxurious. Even the twelve five-colored beads in front of the crown were not the best pearls and jade. Instead, they were a little yellow.
The two ends of the jade hairpin were wrapped around the chin, and the scarlet ribbon tied to it was a little shabby. Traces of starching could be seen on the black crown. Compared to the extremely magnificent floating heavenly palace it was in, it looked inexplicably absurd.
Xiao Lin lost her composure and screamed, "The law enforcer's son-in-law built this mausoleum. How extravagant! Dragon Emperor! What do you want to prove by leaving this simple set of clothes behind? It's just to prove your hypocrisy! "
After saying that, she was about to stab the set of clothes with the dagger. Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou hurriedly stopped her and scolded, "Don't act rashly. Don't touch the decorations here before you see where the coffin of the First Emperor is. Otherwise, do you think that the killers left by the First Emperor don't exist? Since he was buried here with the intention of resurrection, didn't he make arrangements to deal with those who want to destroy his body? "
Xiao Lin glanced at the set of clothes on the throne angrily and turned her head away, no longer looking at the set of clothes of the First Emperor that made her angry. Only then did she have the spare energy to pay attention to other places.
Behind the throne was a painting. In the painting, there were mountains and seas of fog, and celestial Qi lingered. The vast mountains and the Heavenly Palace were faintly discernible in the clouds. Below the clouds was a magnificent map of the Nine Prefectures. The Nine Prefectures and the Four Seas represented the vastness of the land of the Qin Empire, and the topography was greatly different from the present.
In the ancient map of the territory, there was the majestic Kunlun in the west. Above the Kunlun Ruins, the Immortal Tree flowed with elixir water. Under the ancestral vein of Kunlun, there was a pure land shaped like Lianhua. In the pure land, there was a spring that emitted clouds and immortal light, full of spiritual Qi. In the Land of Extreme Movement, there were three immortal islands floating above the sea. In the South Sea, the huge shadow of the Ultimate symbolized the end of the world.
In the land of Middle Earth, there was a five-colored altar on Mount Tai. A Yellow Spring gushed out from the ground, and corpses floated on it. In the east of Mount Tai, there was a Jianmu that supported the heavenly palace. In the east of Mount Tai, the sun bathed in the Valley of Tang, and the golden crow nested in Fusang. In the west of Guanzhong, the god of Mount Zhong was named Torch Dragon …
In the center of the painting, countless soldiers of the Qin Dynasty rode several Sun Golden Ships with wings and flew into the sky. A king wearing the clothes that Partridge Whistle had seen on the throne just now, surrounded by his officials, led the army on the Flying Golden Ships to attack the heavenly palace on the Jianmu Tree.
That king should be the Qin First Emperor. He led the black army, and his expression was dignified and solemn. He looked down on the immortals and gods in the Jianmu Tree Heavenly Palace without any respect. They rose to the ancient city of Xianyang, and the floating heavenly palace was behind them. Twelve golden men like mountains rose to the sky, shaking the heavenly palace on the Jianmu Tree.
Chen Yulou felt a chill run up his spine, and he shivered. Maybe it was the same ambition that made him understand the meaning of the painting, and he said with a trembling voice, "Qin First Emperor … First Emperor is really ambitious, and rebellious. He doesn't want to become a celestial, but he wants to be the Emperor Of Heaven!"
"The Yellow Emperor mourned for the sins of the common people, and retaliated with his power, and exterminated the Miao people. It is Zhong Li, who destroys the earth and heaven, and no one is allowed to descend. "
"It is Xi He, who worships the heavens, and teaches people the time."
Partridge Whistle added in a low voice, "Zhong is Xi, Li is He. Zhong Li is Xi He! According to the ancient myths, in the ancient times, there was the Jianmu Tree in the east, and it connected the earth and heaven. Later, someone created chaos in the human world, and wanted to rebel against the Emperor Of Heaven, so the Emperor Of Heaven ordered Zhong Li to cut down the Jianmu Tree, and destroy the earth and heaven. According to the legends, after the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven, he became the Emperor Of Heaven, and the Qin First Emperor thought that the Emperor Of Heaven was revered by the mortals on earth, and the immortals. "
"At that time, he had already understood the secret of immortality. He wanted to conquer the immortals and overthrow the Celestial Thearch just like how he conquered the six kingdoms. He wanted to bring the entire Great Qin Empire to immortality and become the Celestial Thearch himself!"
"He's dreaming!" Xiao Lin's voice was sharp and piercing.
Partridge Whistle was worried that she would lose control, so he pulled her to the back of the hall. After passing through a short corridor, they arrived at the hall at the back of the hall. The mermaid wax candles were scattered all over the hall, and the bronze lamps in the shape of the Aurogon were hung in all directions, brightly illuminating the hall. There were no monsters behind the mermaid lamps. The place where the First Emperor was buried was quiet and bright. It had been quiet for two thousand years, and no one had disturbed the eternal emperor's sleep except for us.
In the middle of the hall, there was a four-legged bronze cauldron. The bronze cauldron looked majestic, and it was decorated with bronze beast patterns, celestial characters, facial patterns, mountain patterns, and geomancy. When Partridge Whistle walked closer, he realized that there was more than one cauldron in the hall, and they could be vaguely seen in other directions.
He counted carefully. There were nine cauldrons in total, and they looked the same. They should have been cast in a set.
Partridge Whistle was shocked by the number of cauldrons. It was not uncommon to see a set of nine cauldrons in history. There was a saying that the emperor had nine cauldrons. Emperor Huizong of Song and Wu Zetian had both cast nine cauldrons. However, these rituals and cauldrons were to imitate a legend — King Yu's Nine Cauldrons!
The artifact of three dynasties, the symbol of the nine states!
According to history, the nine cauldrons were sunk in the Sishui River, but the Qin First Emperor did not get them. Could these be the nine cauldrons that the Qin First Emperor had cast for his own use? Xiao Lin said sarcastically, "The real nine cauldrons have been missing for a long time. Even if that tyrant conquered the six states, he did not get this symbol of royal authority." In terms of real age, Xiao Lin should be the person who had the most authority to judge the authenticity of the nine cauldrons other than Ziyuan.
Chen Yulou knocked on the cauldrons curiously, and the urn immediately gave out a dull sound. He judged, "There is something inside, it should be an artifact that was buried with the nine cauldrons." The funerary objects that could be placed in the nine cauldrons were naturally not ordinary objects. Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou immediately reacted. If there was the Elixir of Immortality and the Gall of Phoenix, they should be buried with the nine cauldrons.
The nine cauldrons had a lid that was cast later. There were many ferocious divine beasts and deities on the lid. The ferocious deities with the characteristics of animals seemed to be suppressing everything in the cauldrons. Partridge Whistle circled the cauldrons twice, and his face became more and more unsightly.
"The nine cauldrons were placed here to suppress the thing inside! I can't open it easily! "Chen Yulou said in a muffled voice.
Partridge Whistle also added solemnly, "The lid of the cauldron also has a Six Combination Nine Palace Lock, and there are nine mechanisms to open it. There are more than ten thousand combinations in total. If we are not careful, the mechanism will be stuck. I can't open the nine cauldrons for now."
"But from the inscription patterns, I can tell that something is being suppressed in the cauldrons. I suspect that it is not an artifact, but a sacrificial offering!"
Partridge Whistle circled the cauldrons and found that the nine cauldrons were arranged in nine palaces. In the middle, besides the Yuzhou Cauldron, there was a huge courtyard. Looking down from the courtyard, one could see the city of Xianyang. Partridge Whistle looked at the courtyard that could directly see the bottom of the palace, and seemed to think of something. But Xiao Lin could not control herself anymore. She looked around for the coffin of the Qin First Emperor, and her face became more and more anxious.
"How is it possible?" Pushing open the door of the back hall, Xiao Lin could already see the floating jade stairs that led to the palace behind it. She was confused, "How can the coffin of the tyrant not be here!"
Xiao Lin pulled out the bronze dagger in her hand and said to Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou, "The coffin of the tyrant is not here. It is either in the ancient city of Xianyang, or in the palace behind the nine palaces. I'm going to kill him!"
