Chapter 90: Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, the Dynasty after Death

“Let’s go!!”

Liang Yue passed on the method of the great cycle that he had comprehended to Ge Xuanpu.

The two men mounted their horses again and disappeared into the horizon in the sunlight.

From then on, he abandoned his worldly name, transformed himself into Lingbao and Biyou, and traveled around the human world.

During her travels, Zhu Yingtai put on Taoist robes and transformed herself into a Taoist priest.

At the front of the road, Liang Yue was holding the black dog, and Zhu Yingtai was looking around. She grew up in the fortress, and except for the years when she went to school, she had basically never traveled far. It was Shanbo who took her to school.

Before I knew it, more than 20 years have passed.

"Lingbao, I plan to go to Jiankang to see my grandson!"

"Walk."

Jiankang City, the Prince’s Eastern Palace.

"Zuo'er, come here!"

Liu Yifeng clapped his hands and signaled his eldest son to come over.

"Walk slowly, don't run..." Liang Heyun said with a smile while holding his newborn second son.

There were few servants in the Eastern Palace. Liu Yifeng, like the people of Liang Yue's faction, was relatively loyal and devoted, and did not take concubines.

"Report, Lord Changle and Madam Changle are here."

Liang Heyun's eyebrows were raised with joy, and he said, "Dad and Mom are here? Go and welcome them!"

As soon as I went out, I saw two Taoists. Except for some wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, their appearance was no different from when they were young.

"Dad, Mom!" Liang Heyun excitedly threw himself into Zhu Yingtai's arms, "Why are you here?"

"We travel around the world and come to see this."

"Traveling around the world? When will you come back?" Liu Yifeng asked.

"It depends on the situation. Maybe we should go north."

"Dad, be safe."

Although Liang Heyun was reluctant, after all, it was his parents' private matter, so he could only respect it.

The family had a meal together, and Zhu Yingtai teased her two little grandchildren, who laughed loudly.

At night, Liang Yue passed on the sword intent of the Wandering Dragon that he had comprehended to the two of them.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep, so I read leisurely under the lamp.

After reading the internal skills, Liu Yifeng was shocked and said, "My father-in-law's martial arts must have reached an extremely terrifying level."

……

In the imperial study of Hualin Garden, it was late at night and the whale oil lamp was burning, emitting a pure white light.

Liu Yu stayed up late to review memorials and stamped them with the emperor's seal.

In the end, he listened to people's advice and gave up the idea of exterminating the Sima clan. He only killed most of the direct descendants and the descendants of those responsible for the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. The last emperor Sima Dewen and his side branches were left behind, and he was granted the title of Duke of Changdao Township and imprisoned for life.

There were two lines of big characters written on the memorial: Clear the land and reduce taxes and levies.

This matter was promulgated before I ascended the throne last year. Now it is difficult to implement it. It is time to make an example of someone else to scare the monkeys.

Rising tomorrow.

"The Yu family of Kuaiji and the Zhou family of Xunyang have illegally occupied mountains and swamps, and have lived in seclusion and exile. They have refused to change despite repeated admonitions. Their property will be confiscated and their clans will be exterminated to serve as a warning to others!"

Everyone in the court felt threatened and looked at each other in confusion.

The Zhou family members couldn't help but curse.

"Liu Yu, what else do you want to do? You have already overwhelmed everyone and climbed onto the throne. No one can resist you! Why do you still want to struggle?"

"Drag him away and behead him!" Liu Yu ordered coldly.

At this moment, he seemed to be alone.

Whether you say he was consolidating his power or amassing wealth, at least he wanted the Southern Dynasty to continue and to develop Jiangzuo into an important city.

After the court meeting, Liu Yu walked away alone with a desolate back.

"The Crown Prince has reported that the Duke of Changle and his wife are planning to travel around the world!"

Liu Yu paused and ordered, "Prepare the horses!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yu rode a fast horse and headed to the main road outside the city alone.

As the sun sets, people are far away.

Ancient trees stand tall, horses and carriages come and go, and the autumn wind blows up the bleak fallen leaves.

Liu Yu leaned against a big tree, his eyes drifting into the distance.

At this age, every time I travel far away, it may be the last time we meet.

Da da da……

Liang Yue and Zhu Yingtai were chatting and laughing as they rode their horses. Suddenly, he put away his smile and looked at the figure under the tree.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yingtai asked.

I saw a person slowly walking out from under the tree.

This man has a strong physique and an old face. Perhaps due to the excessive wear and tear, his eyes are a little dry and red.

"Big brother!"

"Third brother, sister-in-law, where are you going?"

"Seeking immortals and traveling on rivers and seas. These are the dreams of youth."

Liu Yu burst out laughing. His third brother remained the same and only knew how to pursue eternal life.

But it is a blessing to have an old friend who never changes.

Even though Liu Yu was reluctant in his heart, he still chose to respect the blessing and took off the three-foot long sword from his waist.

"It's been so many years since we last met, I don't know when we will meet again. Third brother, this is Cao Cao's sword "Yitian". It is said that this sword has the power of tiger roar and dragon roar. A sword worthy of a hero. I wish you a safe journey."

Liang Yue jumped off his horse and took the sword solemnly.

"Brother, take care."

"Take care, brother!" Zhu Yingtai bowed.

"Let's go quickly, it will be late soon."

"it is good……"

Without looking back, the BMW sped away and disappeared at the end of the world.

The brothers of youth will eventually be separated by the north and the south.

The two horses traveled to the Yangtze River.

"Biyou, dismount."

boom!
The two horses turned back into chopsticks.

“Golden Crow!!”

Hundreds of feet in the sky, the Golden Crow swooped down, grabbed the rope that Zhu Yingtai had tied in advance, and pulled her into the air.

Wow!
Liang Yue put on a cloak, used the power of his magic weapon, and flew high into the sky.

The infinite Yangtze River is below, and the scenery on both sides is rapidly receding.

He took out the sword given to him by his elder brother and injected a trace of true energy into it.

hum...

The precious sword glowed, the blade trembled and clanged, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.

"Is it really a magic weapon?"

This sword is extremely sharp. If it can break through to the second level of out-of-body control, it may even be used as a flying sword.

"Lingbao, where are we going!"

After a brief panic, Zhu Yingtai seemed a little excited. So this is what flying feels like.

"Chang'an!"

Chang'an is about two thousand miles away from Jiankang. You can enjoy the scenery along the way and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Next, the two men rode on horseback during the day and set up tents in a deserted place at night.

Ankang County, Weixing County, has been recovered by the Song army. All industries are waiting to be revived, and Tan Daoji's troops are stationed here.

The two walked on a small path in the mountains. Xiaotian ran happily, chasing mice and rabbits. "Master Biyou, do you want to visit Daoji?"

"Forget it, let's do our own thing."

"Alright."

The two men traveled to Fufeng County in Guanzhong.

This place was controlled by Yao Xing of the Qin State. It had flat land and a large population. It looked a bit depressed, but relying on the fertile Guanzhong, the Qin State was invincible.

"The fertile Guanzhong is where the king lives. If you can conquer this place, you can rule the world."

The Southern Dynasty had a very weak foundation, and only the eight southeastern counties were better. Other places were basically not worth looking at. Some counties had less than three thousand people, and it was common for a county to have only a few hundred people.

"It will be accomplished soon. If elder brother can't accomplish it, you can give it to Yi Fu." Zhu Yingtai said with a smile.

"Too."

Next, Liang Yue and the others quickened their pace.

Finally arrived at Mount Li.

Mount Li is a branch of the Qinling Mountains.

The two men rode down the mountain and took a look.

The mountains are winding and the trees are lush. From a distance, it looks like a dark blue horse.

"What a beautiful view! It's been planned for thousands of years, and it's a pleasure to be buried here." Liang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"The legend of King You of Zhou lighting beacons to amuse the princes and the former residence of the Three Sovereigns both originated from Mount Li." Liang Yue turned to Zhu Yingtai and said.

“What a great place!”

Mount Li covers a vast area and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is huge. Ancient books have said that the ancient tomb raiders set foot here, and it is probably the outer palace.

The most important Terracotta Warriors are not recorded.

"You can stay here from now on." Liang Yue said to Zhu Yingtai.

"That's fine, anywhere is fine." Zhu Yingtai had no objection. My hometown is where my heart is.

Liang Yue found a quiet place in the mountain stream, and walked to a big tree with sword in hand.

Inputting true energy, the sword body flashed with cold light.

Whoosh!
The Sword of Heavenly Sword easily cut down a tree that two people could hug together.

With the right tools, the house was built very quickly and the stilt house was completed in less than a day.

Liang Yue went to the city at the foot of the mountain again.

The Gaomen Courtyard is located in a remote area and must be the villa of a wealthy family.

"Yes, it's here." Liang Yue used the wall technique to pass through the wall with a whoosh.

Bedding, dressing mirrors, pots and pans, and various daily necessities were stolen from the homes of the gentry.

A small attic rises from the ground in the mountains and forests.

At night, the daughter of the Pei family came back from playing. When she returned to her boudoir, she was stunned to see the empty boudoir: "Hey? Where are my things? Dad, there's a thief in the house!"

A few days later, Liang Yue began to search for the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Since there is no method of escaping into the earth, one can only use the divine sense to explore it, and then dig the earth to search for it.

Many royal tombs were discovered in this area, some intact and some excavated, but he was not interested in such treasures.

Perhaps these royal tombs have obscured the underground palace of Qin Shihuang to a certain extent.

It was a scorching day.

Liang Yue stood at the place where he remembered his previous life. His spiritual sense probed ten feet down, but when he reached the limit, there was still nothing.

"Hmm? Where are the Terracotta Warriors?"

Liang Yue still didn't give up, so he simply settled down here and took out the Luoyang shovel to dig the soil.

Under the scorching sun, he dressed as a farmer and dug the soil with a grunt.

Zhu Yingtai has Jinwu and Xiaotian on her side, and she has internal strength herself, so there is no need to worry about her safety.

Dig to a depth of nine zhang.

boom……

The Luoyang shovel dug up a hard object, which seemed to be the dome of a tomb.

After digging up the soil, it turned out to be a cemetery.

"Why can't the divine consciousness detect it?"

Liang Yue was very curious and touched the bricks on the top of the tomb.

This brick is red in color and seems to contain cinnabar, mercury, and some special substance.

"It turns out that this thing can block divine thoughts."

Liang Yue was confused.

Why did Qin Shi Huang know all this? It seems that he was not ignorant and superstitious as described in history books, and he really knew about cultivating immortals.

Could it be that the reason for building such a huge underground palace was really to create an underground paradise?
Thinking of this, Liang Yue suddenly knocked a hole and threw a soybean in.

boom!
The Taoist soldiers transformed and sent a message.

The tomb chamber is not big, only five meters long and wide, and there is no poisonous gas or hidden arrows inside.

Liang Yue jumped down this time.

There is a coffin and a small amount of funerary objects in the tomb.

There were bamboo slips next to the coffin. Liang Yue took them out and examined them. It turned out to be the tomb of a Qin official named Wei.

"Why isn't it the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?" Liang Yue was a little puzzled.

At this time, divine thoughts have no effect.

Since he was an ordinary official, why did he use such precious bricks to specifically block the perception of divine thoughts?
Liang Yue dug several feet deeper underground, but still found nothing.

Later, they went to other places to dig and unearthed many ancient tombs of the Qin Dynasty. They found officials of all ranks, with the highest title being Shao Shangzao.

The tomb built by Shaoshang was relatively large, about ten feet long and wide.

"Where are the Terracotta Warriors?"

Liang Yue paced back and forth while the Taoist soldiers were searching.

So many bricks that obscure divine thoughts should not have been put up randomly.

At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"correct!"

Liang Yue took out the Qin King's Mirror, injected his true energy into it, and the mirror began to shine, reflecting what was behind the wall.

The Qin King's Mirror has no killing ability and no health-preserving effect. Who would have thought it would have this kind of use.

With the clue, Liang Yue suddenly became interested.

They took photos of the tombs that had been dug out previously, and finally found a secret passage behind the wall in the tomb of a palace official.

"Strange, this tomb is ordinary and has a robbed hole, but there is a secret passage?"

The tomb is very old, and it should have been dug shortly after the fall of the Qin Dynasty and during the time when the Chu and Han dynasties were contending for supremacy.

boom! !

After digging through the wall, a secret passage emerged, which was different from the underground world imagined.

The secret passage was very short, three meters at the end, with only a strange rock standing there.

The strange stone is half a person's height, the front is snow-white and round, and the back is pitch black and square.

It conforms to the principle that the heaven is round and the earth is square.

There was nothing behind the stone, just walls and soil.

There is a small circular groove on the round side, which is exactly suitable for the Qin King's mirror.

Liang Yue put the mirror on.

As the mirror lost its true energy, it was instantly covered in dust, and there was no sound of any mechanism turning.

Liang Yue reached out and input true energy again.

Wow...

The mirror-like water ripples, reflecting the gloomy ancient road, the deep tomb passage, and the towering dome.
On both sides, there were faint signs of soldiers standing.

Liang Yue let out a long sigh and sighed:
"It finally appeared... Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, the underground paradise."
