The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 91: A Thousand Years of Planning, the Great Thief of the Last Days.

The mirror is bright, reflecting the deep tomb passage.

The tomb passage is very long, extending to the dark end, and soldiers in armor and holding spears can be vaguely seen on both sides.

Obviously, this is a channel in the mirror.

"Is this the underground dynasty of Qin Shi Huang?"

Liang Yue didn't expect that this trip to the north would actually allow him to discover a world of caves.

If Qin Shihuang really had an underground paradise, doesn’t this mean that he had a backup plan?

Could it be that there really is a Qin Shi Huang living in the tomb? He uses another method of corpse transformation to live forever in the world and control history?
This statement is not without reason. Liang Yue was able to achieve corpse transformation with the help of jade silkworms, which can transform true energy. Perhaps there is another rare treasure in the world that can transform true energy into immortality in other ways.

Thinking of this, Liang Yue hesitated and did not dare to enter.

The Yin-Yang Stone should be the "gate" to the cave world, and the Qin King's precious mirror is the key to open the gate.

The key might be in Gong Zheng's tomb, or in the Qin royal palace, but was lost when Xiang Yu burned down the Afang Palace.

Liang Yue sorted out the clues of ancient mythology, then used his divine sense to probe into the magic mirror and threw two soybeans into it.

The soybeans turned into Taoist soldiers, and Liang Yue sensed the inside from the perspective of the Taoist soldiers.

The world of the cave is extremely dark, and you can’t see your hand in front of you.

The Taoist soldiers advanced along the tunnel, with pottery figurines, pottery horses and chariots on both sides. The pottery figurines were painted with oil and looked lifelike.

Surprisingly, this pottery figurine is not a Taoist soldier or puppet, but just an ordinary handicraft.

Ahead is a vermilion city gate.

"Yes, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the spiritual energy was annihilated at its peak, and it was impossible to create so many Taoist soldiers."

Liang Yue added four more Taoist soldiers, who pulled open the city gate with force.

Kaka...

The city gate opened, and there was another city gate a few steps ahead.

boom!
At this moment, a huge rock fell from the sky behind the Taoist soldier.

boom!
The huge stone gate fell, blocking the Taoist soldiers' way back.

Countless crossbow arrows were shot from both sides, and the Taoist soldiers were shot into hedgehogs and then disappeared.

"Forget it, I'll go in by myself."

Liang Yue entered the cave world.

Da da da……

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty cave, and the pottery figurines on both sides looked inexplicably strange.

The cave passage is long and the soldiers are clearing the way.

Liang Yue put on armor, Heavenly Master's cloak, and took out Heavenly Master's whisk.

boom!
The Yitian Sword easily cut open the stone gate, and the Taoist soldiers cleared a path ahead.

More crossbow arrows were shot out, piercing the Taoist soldiers and defeating them.

Liang Yue summoned the eternal flame of the lamp, which flowed into the crossbow's firing port and burned the mechanism. He then took another detoxification pill, stretched out his whisk, wrapped it around the door knocker, and opened the next door.

Behind the gate is a small city.

The sky was gray and chaotic, not the tomb dome as imagined.

The city is 300 meters long and wide, with palaces, chariots, and pottery figurines, just like a ground city.

In the center of the tomb is a mercury lake, symbolizing rivers and seas. A stone path leads to a nine-story pagoda-shaped building in the center of the lake.

There was a faint candlelight on the top of the tower.

The underground city is empty and desolate, the terracotta figurines are quiet, with different expressions, and there is no sound at all, which is eerie and terrifying.

Liang Yue held the eternal lamp, crossed the street and came to the edge of the lake.

A human-shaped white marble statue stands in front of the passage, slightly bent, as if holding something, but his hands are empty.

Liang Yue thought for a moment and placed the eternal lamp on it. The flame of the eternal lamp expanded, and the golden light illuminated an area of dozens of feet, illuminating most of the underground kingdom, just like the rising sun in the morning.

“Is this a matching set?”

Liang Yue looked around and flew directly into the sky.

There is no coffin on the top, but a white jade bed with mermaid fat lamps lit on all four sides, illuminating the sand table of mountains, rivers and the country at the bottom.

Lying on the bed was a middle-aged man in a golden jade suit, with three long beards, regular facial features, a broad nose and a square mouth, looking very heroic.

Not moving, as if in deep sleep.

"Emperor Qin Shihuang?"

This was the first time Liang Yue met this historical figure.

Just as he had guessed, this person was dead and not some corpse-reincarnated immortal.

There were piles of bamboo slips beside the bed. Liang Yue picked up the top one and read it carefully.

"Your name is Ying Zheng, the first emperor. You have transformed your corpse into a human form, so you may have some memory loss..."

The bamboo slips record the life of Qin Shihuang from childhood to adulthood. Liang Yue read ten lines at a glance and extracted important information.

Finally, I was able to extract the key clues.

"Lu Sheng, a Taoist priest, was good at magic. He found the place where King Mu of Zhou was liberated from his corpse and obtained the Taiyi Jade Silkworm..."

"Innate spiritual silkworm?" Liang Yue was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this corpse-reincarnated spiritual silkworm really had a history.

It actually came from King Mu of Zhou?

King Mu of Zhou was the owner of the spiritual silkworm before Ning Yangzi. Qin Shi Huang and others found King Mu's refined corpse on an island, destroyed his body, and seized the precious spiritual silkworm and the only Yin-Yang Pill that could bring people back to life after death and was used to bind the spiritual silkworm.

This small world is called Yin-Yang Stone. It is a secret place in Mount Li and was discovered by Hou Sheng, a Taoist priest under his command.

The prerequisite for the Taiyi Jade Silkworm to recognize its master is that the master meets the conditions for resurrection after death.

Qin Shi Huang was suspicious by nature and was hesitant to take the elixir to achieve his short-term death. In the end, both treasures were stolen by Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.

Also stolen were the Heshi Bi (Tianshi Seal), the Immortal Chenglu Lamp (Eternal Lamp), the Twelve Golden Men, and the Qin King's Mirror.

The emperor was furious and ordered the burning of books and burying of scholars.

"These two are quite smart. They use the power of the dynasty to discover treasures for themselves." Liang Yue couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, he inexplicably felt a sense of fate.

King Mu of Zhou planned for hundreds of years, which may have taken two or three generations, but he ultimately failed.

Qin Shi Huang was well prepared and obtained the more hidden Yin-Yang Stone Cave, but in the end the treasure was dramatically stolen.

He could only rely on this golden jade burial suit that prevented his corpse from rotting to refine his body, and hope that thousands of years later, the Qin Dynasty would be passed down for one or two hundred generations, and then find a way to resurrect himself, the first emperor.

Unexpectedly, Qin II died.

"The lamp is easy to extinguish in the wind, and the moon on the river is hard to stay..." Liang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

The thousand-year plan of the two emperors eventually became someone else's wedding dress. I must be extremely cautious to avoid being taken advantage of when my body transforms into corpse.

Now that he had the Yin-Yang Stone Cave, the Innate Spirit Silkworm, and the Six Treasures of the Heavenly Master, no one should be able to hinder him from undergoing corpse transformation for at least a few hundred years.

Liang Yue paced and observed, thinking for a long time.

"Ningyangzi may be the descendant of one of Lu Shenghou's sons..."

There is a general plot for what happened afterwards; it was nothing more than a quarrel between the two, both of them suffered losses, or a war; one of them died before he could explain himself when he returned.

It was not until several years later, during the reign of Emperor Xian of Han, that Ning Yangzi discovered this object...

Strolling in the ancient palace, Liang Yue's thoughts gradually merged into this ancient underground world.

It was as if he had transformed into the emperor of the last days of spiritual energy.

After repeated explorations and discoveries, the good situation was ruined due to dramatic mistakes.

The world is unpredictable and fate is hard to defy.

The emperors' quest for immortality ended with Emperor Wu of Han. People regarded this behavior of wasting national strength without achieving immortality as a sign of a tyrant.

Liu Bang's carefree smile before his death set an example for later emperors, and there has been no large-scale excavation of ancient relics since then.

At this moment, Liang Yue felt the same way.

Sitting on the edge of the nine-tiered altar, overlooking the city below, behind him is Qin Shi Huang, who had been dead for many years.

Quiet, eerie, ancient…

Liang Yue slowly stood up and looked at this small world.

“Even the emperors of the world are like this, let alone the ancient immortals and gods. The immortals and gods may have planned for thousands of years. Unfortunately, you could not have expected that in this era of the Dharma Ending Catastrophe and the mortal world, there would be a cultivator…” In the Dharma Ending Catastrophe, all dharmas will age.

Seeking the truth may be difficult, but it is also a great opportunity.

If it were the heyday of Taoism, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to sit at the table; after practicing for a hundred years, I'm not as good as the disciples who have practiced in the fairy mountains for ten years.

But in this world, I am the only immortal.

To put it simply, Liang Yue wants to be a thief, not just a tomb robber, but also a last-ditch thief who steals the plans of the ancient immortals and gods.

Liang Yue walked up to Qin Shi Huang, as if the corpse in front of him was a living person, and said: "Emperor Shi Huang, the Qin Dynasty is gone, and there is no one to resurrect you. Rest in peace..."

After that, they stripped off the cold jade clothes from Qin Shi Huang's body and solemnly moved him to the coffin outside the tomb for burial.

After that, no one knew that the owner of this ordinary tomb was actually the famous Qin Shi Huang.

Liang Yue stood at the top of the tomb passage. At this moment, he became the master of the Yin-Yang Stone Cave.

The heaven after death welcomes new immortals who have been reincarnated into corpses.

"Use this as a base to start the journey of the Millennium Thief."

The existence of a cave heaven proves that there are other cave heavens, and there will be many opportunities in the future.

Liang Yue didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly took the jade box from the bedside and walked out of this underground world full of mercury, lead and mercury.

After returning to the tomb and covering up the stolen hole, Liang Yue started his journey back.

At this time, another group of people went up the mountain.

There were about eight or nine people, one of whom was dressed as a Taoist priest, and the other eight had strange appearances, and they should be Qiang people.

"Your Highness, Great Witch, folk rumour has it that Qin Shi Huang was buried here, and it is said that the Emperor was immortal after his death..."

The prince was a young man with youthful appearance and elegant clothing.

The Great Wizard was an old man with tattoos on his face. His facial skin was like dry bark and his voice was hoarse and piercing. He said:
"Men just like to play tricks and believe in false gods. They deserve to be punished by heaven and be enslaved by us Qiang people." The great witch smiled coldly, his words full of discrimination against the Han people.

The man didn't dare to get angry, but kept nodding in compliments.

The Southern Dynasties might not have felt this atmosphere, but in the Qin State ruled by the barbarians, the word "Hanzi" was usually an insult, similar to the barbarians in the south.

"Your Highness, now that the location has been determined, arrange for people to dig out the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang tomorrow. The imperial mausoleum contains countless treasures, enough to support the expenses of the army." said the Great Witch.

The Taoist priest subconsciously refuted, saying: "No, Qin Shihuang is said to be alive underground. If you open Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum without permission, you will be punished by heaven!"

The Taoist priest did not expect that the other party wanted to dig up the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

It’s not that they can’t dig, as Xiang Yu, the Red Eyebrows, and Cao Cao have all done it. But wouldn’t it leave a bad reputation for all eternity if one led the barbarians to rob the emperor’s tomb?

The great wizard turned around suddenly, his cloudy eyes flashing with cold murderous intent, and suddenly an eagle-claw-like claw stretched out from under his wide robe, and he grabbed the Taoist's head with one claw.

"Humph, divine punishment? Is there really a punishment from heaven?" Prince Hu Lu laughed sarcastically.

The crowd did not rush down the mountain, but instead investigated the situation on the spot.

"Dig down and see."

The prince ordered his men.

"Yes!!"

The men took out the shovels they had prepared in advance and started digging the hole using their hands and feet.

The young prince was named Yao Pu, the son of Qin Emperor Yao Xing. He had no qualifications to ascend the throne and was appointed to be in charge of logistics affairs.

The sky gradually darkened and the sun set in the west.

call……

The mountain wind was so fierce and cold that everyone couldn't help but shiver.

For some reason, everyone thought of the Taoist's theory of heavenly punishment. They were digging up the tomb of an emperor, and a famous hero at that. Could it be that there really was heavenly punishment in the world?
"Dig quickly! What are you standing there for? I have great magical powers, why would I be afraid of a mere dead person?" the high priest shouted, and suddenly spread out his palms, with a ball of fire emerging from his palms.

This person's palms were soaked in a special potion, causing the epidermis to dry and become hard as leather, allowing flames to burn in the palms.

The prince was instantly shocked, and his inner anxiety was alleviated a lot.

The other Qiang people even knelt down and kowtowed. With a great witch with magical powers, what could a mere ghost do to him?
Seeing this scene, the great wizard felt very pleased, and the device on his arm squeezed out a lot of kerosene.

boom!
The flames rose to half a man's height.

"What a magical power!"

"What a powerful fire dragon!"

Everyone was amazed.

The Great Wizard looked calm and said, "Don't worry, with me here to protect you, the demons won't dare to act rashly!"

Eh...that's not right, what fire dragon?
Looking up at the sky, I saw a fire dragon falling from the sky.

"Oh no! There's a monster!!"

boom!
The fire dragon fell into the crowd and exploded. The great wizard was the first to be hit. The flames devoured his body and quickly turned it into ashes.

The same is true for other Qiang people.

The only one left in the crowd was Prince Yao Pu, who was far away.

Yao Pu turned his head subconsciously, and saw a Taoist holding a lamp ten feet away, shining in all directions.

His expression was changeable and mysterious.

"God! Don't kill me, I am the prince of Qin!"

Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, several golden needles pierced Yao Pu's head.

"Humph, barbarians."

Liang Yue confirmed his death and threw the body of the Hu Lu prince to the riverside at the foot of the mountain overnight.

Then he found the jade box and moved it back to his residence.

In the attic in the mountains, Xiaotian was dozing off, a crow with golden eyes was observing all directions, and under the tree lay the corpses of tigers and leopards.

Liang Yue stored three strands of true energy in the Golden Crow's body, which was enough for it to spit fire and cast spells. Ordinary top-grade masters could not defeat the Golden Crow.

It was late at night and Zhu Yingtai had already gone to bed.

Liang Yue moved the jade box from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

There were three treasures inside and a jade book recording talismans. Liang Yue took a quick look and found there were talismans for turning into water, fire, objects, immortal earth escape, immortal puppet, and mud into stone....

"Earth escape, puppet?"

There is no need to say much about the earth escape technique, and the puppet talisman is probably used to control pottery soldiers and horses.

It seems that Qin Shihuang did not do it for decoration.

The other is a compass, with six kinds of seal characters written on it: Qi, sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers. It should be a magic weapon for controlling the Yin-Yang Qishi Dongtian.

The last one is called Mountain Ghost Jade Pendant, with a hideous and terrifying ghost face engraved on the front.

His divine sense probed into it and found it was empty inside. It was eight meters long, five meters wide, and two point seven meters high, the size of a house, about one hundred cubic meters.

It's actually a storage space.

"Finally it's bigger than a two-cubic-meter storage bag."

Liang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It would be much more convenient for him to travel around the world in the future.

The storage bag can only carry some necessary items and cannot hold any daily necessities.

No wonder the storage bag cannot hold the jade box. Storage magic weapons can store things in each other, but the small ones cannot store the big ones. The small ones will take up as much space as the existing space.

He collected the storage bag and various treasures, returned to the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

A few days later, the barbarians searched everywhere at the foot of the mountain for the murderer, and the two men also avoided their search.

The matter was eventually left unresolved and Tan Daoji took the blame.

After that, Liang Yue and his partner settled down in Mount Li.

Occasionally, famous and talented people would travel around Mount Li, and the two of them would not avoid them and would communicate with them normally. Some people would even go up the mountain to ask for medicine to cure their illnesses, and Liang Yue would not refuse.

The reputations of the two Taoists Lingbao and Biyou spread throughout Guanzhong.

Liang Yue lived in seclusion in the mountains, studying talismans and stealing skills.

Time passes quietly.

One day, a middle-aged Taoist priest rode a donkey down the mountain.

"Lingbao Taoist? Could he be a member of the Ge family? Looks like I have to pay him a visit."

Kou Qianzhi said.
