Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 56 The immortal with magical powers!
"This this!"

"This is the real breathing sound! This is the evil creature that Cao Langjun mentioned!"

"Damn it, it turns out that the previous corpses were not the real ones!"

"No, the bow and arrow seem useless! They can't penetrate the corpse at all!"

……

Many Jinwu Guards felt the situation was difficult at this moment.

As Cao Kewei looked at the monster, he finally understood that most of the tomb-raiding officers in the past had been killed by such a monster.

This... this is the culprit!

He is also the real guardian of this passage!
This...was this placed here by the immortal or by the Ancestral Dragon?

If that immortal let it go, then...what a terrifying existence that immortal is!

Cao Kewei was shocked.

Even Meng Xing and Meng Yuan were stunned.

There is no record in ancient books that there was such a miraculous corpse guarding the tomb!
"Commander, what should we do? We can't break its defense."

"It's coming, keep the formation!"

"...."

The Jinwu Guards were already sweating profusely and were very nervous.

Li Junxian was at a loss and looked at Cao Kewei.

Cao Kewei took a deep breath and said, "We need black donkey blood! If we find some black donkey blood and pour it on it, we can kill it!"

"I asked you to bring the black donkey blood. Where is it?"

He attached great importance to this trip to the ancient tomb, so he prepared many things before coming, and this black donkey blood was one of them.

"It's in the back, Mr. Cao. I'll go get it from my colleagues right away!"

Because there were too many things, the Jinwu Guards couldn't carry them all, and the black donkey blood had a lower priority, so it was put at the back.

After answering, the Jinwu Guard walked to the back.

at the same time.

The monster rushed around, making it difficult for the Jinwu Guards to deal with it, and with one leap it actually jumped near the descendants of the Meng family.

"not good!"

Li Junxian's face changed drastically.

So does everyone else.

Just when everyone thought that the descendants of the Meng family were going to be in trouble, the corpse guarding the tomb actually... knelt down.

This…this!
This magical scene stunned everyone.

How could this be?
How could such a powerful monster kneel down in front of the descendants of the Meng family?

Meng Xing was also stunned, but soon thought of a possibility: "This... Could it be that, because my Meng family is the guardian of the mausoleum, it...it..."

Meng Xing didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood what he meant.

This monster recognizes its master!
Recognize that immortal as the master, and the descendants of the Meng family, as the guardians of the tomb, are also among them!

Is this… possible?
How could there be such a miraculous method in the world? Who was that immortal?
"Black donkey blood is coming!"

At this time, the Jinwu Guard came back.

But when he was about to bring it over, he was stopped by Li Junxian.

"no need."

Li Junxian smiled bitterly.

Despite what was happening, I still couldn't understand what was going on.

But at least it is certain that the danger is over.

Or rather….
With the descendants of the Meng family here, this ancient tomb will not be in too much danger.

The crisis was resolved, and Li Junxian finally had time to take a closer look at the monster. He discovered that it was a soldier from the Qin Dynasty.

Thousands of years ago,
Even though it looked like a corpse, it was so incredible that it stood right in front of him so lifelike.

"I never thought that my...my Meng family bloodline could be so useful."

Meng Xing smiled bitterly. This was the first time he realized the nobility of his own bloodline.

Shake your head and don't think about it anymore.

After everyone looked at the monster with curiosity, they went to the next passage.

After walking for a while, they came to a road with tiles of a clearly different color.

The passage here is wide, and the floor tiles are relatively much larger than those I have encountered before.

Even if someone who can do the splits comes, he or she will not be able to step on two tiles at the same time.

"Flip trap?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Cao Kewei muttered to himself.

A thought flashed through his eyes, and he picked up a piece of scattered soil from the side and threw it over.

As the dirt fell to the ground, the floor tile suddenly flipped over, and the dirt also fell to the ground!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao Kewei shone the flashlight over there, and found that the place deep inside was filled with sharp knives!

Even after a thousand years, it is still cold and sharp!
After a while, the floor tiles returned to their original positions.

It seems that the road ahead is still very smooth and there is no flaw to be found.

"This mechanism also exists in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang."

Li Junxian looked solemn.

After Your Majesty ascended the throne, you organized people to explore the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and this reversal trap was the first hurdle.

At that time, they didn't know what a flip trap was. It was only after they lost nearly five people here that they realized how terrifying this trap was.

Even after that,

Even putting wooden boards on top of it won’t work!
Because in addition to such traps, there are other mechanisms here.

If you touch it accidentally, the sharp knife below will pop out instantly and take your life.

And there may be mechanisms on the walls around!
It was this trap that made everyone at that time give up exploring the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

It’s not that they can’t solve the trap, but the first place they enter is so dangerous. They can’t imagine how many dangerous places there are inside.

In order not to waste too much manpower and resources, we gave up.

"It's just a small problem."

Cao Kewei didn't care much about this.

He took a step forward, and just as Li Junxian and others wanted to stop him, they found that he was able to land steadily.

Then he took a few more steps and arrived at the other side.

"this!"

Li Junxian and others were stunned.

Cao Kewei said with a smile: "After all, he is the descendant of a tomb-robbing lieutenant. If he doesn't have some skills, how can he survive in the tomb-robbing world?"

"Everyone, wait a minute. This mechanism will be broken in an instant."

After saying that, Cao Kewei fiddled with something and then said, "Okay, come here."

Li Junxian was stunned: "Is that all?"

Cao Kewei nodded.

Li Junxian took a deep breath, picked up a stone and threw it over.

In stark contrast to the previous situation, the stone landed steadily on the bricks without any sound.

Only then did Li Junxian confirm that it was indeed safe.

Although I don’t know how Cao Kewei did it, it is indeed... safe.

Everyone went out one after another.

Then the only door here was opened.

Open the door.

What came into view was a huge palace, extremely huge, and right in front of it, there were nine tripods sitting around it.

Looking at the nine tripods,

It is magnificent and engraved with runes.

At first glance, it is a product from ancient times.

"That, that is! That is the Nine Cauldrons!"

At this moment, Cao Kewei's eyes were wide open and his breathing was extremely rapid.

According to records, the Nine Cauldrons are a mystery.

someone said,
"One word is as good as nine tripods" comes from the Nine Tripods, and "One word is as good as nine tripods" and "asking for the tripod of the Central Plains" emphasize the supreme status of the Zhou emperor as the common ruler of the world.

In fact, this political legitimacy comes to a large extent from nine giant bronze vessels, namely the Nine Tripods.

It is hard for modern people to imagine how nine large pots could become a symbol of royal power?

In fact, in ancient times, the collection and smelting of metal ores was not easy, and the large-scale bronze casting technology was also a difficult point. Therefore, what was condensed on it was actually the product of the highly centralized state power.

The earliest legend of the Nine Cauldrons originated from the Xia Dynasty. There are two different versions: one is that Xia Qi cast them, and the other is that Xia Yu cast them.

What magical properties does the Nine Cauldrons have? To put it in a more mysterious way, it can automatically recognize its master! When the Xia people failed, they fled to the Yin people, and when the Yin and Shang dynasties failed, they went to the Zhou people. This is the so-called "not moving but moving on its own."

That is to say, as a symbol of destiny, whenever dynasties change and the destiny shifts, the Nine Cauldrons will automatically change owners.

There are numerous legends about the Nine Cauldrons before Qin Shihuang and even during his reign.

But since then, it has rarely appeared.

People thought that the Nine Cauldrons were destroyed or lost. Some even worse believed that the Nine Cauldrons did not exist at all and that they were all made up to fool them.

Lots and lots of speculation.

But no one thought that the Nine Cauldrons... would appear here, in Qin Changye’s tomb!

This is incredible!

Incredible! !
