Chapter 23 The Great Hidden in the Tomb

(one)

Seeing that Wu Zetian had no trouble mobilizing the crowd, Li Bai was definitely not doing the activities of digging graves and opening coffins, and he felt a little open. However, although Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's underground palace had been discovered for hundreds of years, he had never heard of anyone coming in and out. Even Xiang Yu, who burned Afang Palace, or the Jinshiwei who specialized in this field, had not succeeded.

Since ancient times, tomb robbers have always kept their distance when they mentioned the Qin Emperor's underground palace. It can be seen that there are not only ambushing the underground palace, but even poison gas and venom may be spread all over it. Now Wu Zetian is going to take Gongsun Li, Li Bai and a man over fifty years old to go there. Li Bai couldn't help but feel sweaty.

The old man was familiar with the road. Soon, he led three people through mountains and ridges to a high wall. The wall was about twenty feet high, and the ancient trees at the bottom were lush and leaves were lush.

The old man pointed to a secret place, which was a tall stone gate, turned around and bowed to Wu Zetian and said, "The grass people have been guided by experts and led Your Majesty to this place. The master told me that Ying Zheng only saw Your Majesty alone. The grass people dare not move forward. Please forgive me."

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Get back."

Li Bai was secretly shocked when he heard this. It turned out that Wu Zetian was invited by Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng really existed in the world. However, if Ying Zheng was really "that person", wouldn't Wu Zetian come here alone?

A "boom" sounded, and the huge stone door weighing more than a thousand pounds opened automatically, revealing a dark tomb passage. Li Bai grabbed the step forward and entered the tomb passage. After confirming safety, he waved his hand to signal Wu Zetian and Gongsun Li to enter.

The tomb passage was dark and damp, tilted downwards. Li Bai opened the way in front of him, but he encountered no obstacles except the darkness. He only reached the flat ground after a cup of tea. He stepped over a stone door and suddenly opened up inside.

I saw that the underground palace was like the world, with mountains, rivers and rivers everywhere at my feet. I looked up and looked like stars, emitting bright light.

The underground palace is not as dark as an ordinary tomb. Under the illumination of thousands of eternal lamps, it is full of vitality everywhere, like a carving of a vibrant country of thousands of miles of life with whole stones. Li Bai sighed and said, "It's really the world's greatest, and everything is strange."

Wu Zetian also nodded and said, "I can't imagine that I can still have a way to enjoy the wealth and honor of this world after death."

Suddenly, a hearty laughter came from a rockery. Everyone looked in the sound and saw a man standing on a rockery several meters high, wearing a plain robe and a Taoist crown on his head. He was handsome and energetic, and was full of immortality.

He floated down and bowed to the three of them, "Today my canary chirping, and there are indeed distinguished guests coming to visit."

Wu Zetian also politely said, "It is our rude to disturb you, you are not polite."

The Taoist smiled and said, "Please inside."

He also said: "I have heard of the first female empress in the ages, and her civil and military achievements. I am fortunate to meet her today, and she is indeed extraordinary."

Wu Zetian nodded and smiled without saying a word.

The Taoist priest led the group through the rockery and came to a stone chamber to give up his seat for the three of them.

Although the stone room is small, it is all simple and simple. Along the way, Li Bai did not see the legendary rare treasures buried with him. He couldn't help but wonder: This is really Ying Zheng's underground palace? Why not only does it have no burial objects, but not even a coffin?

(three)

The Taoist sat upright and saw Li Bai looking around, smiling and said, "I live in a quiet place and have nothing to entertain guests. Please forgive me."

Li Bai bowed to the Taoist man and said, "I'm here today. I'm asking for advice from the First Emperor about something, and I'll ask for advice from real people."

The Taoist laughed and said, "The past is unbearable to look back on. I am ashamed of the title of First Emperor!"

Li Bai was shocked. Ying Zheng, who had lived a lifetime and achieved the unification of China, was indeed still in the world. He saw that he was humble and polite, but now he has become a somewhat successful practitioner of Taoism.

Wu Zetian said: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, now the world is peaceful and the people are happy. Recently, there are a group of thieves who don't know where they come from and confuse the world. The group of people formed a secret organization, but legend has it that they are all people who can live forever. For thousands of years, only the real person has devoted himself to this matter of immortality. Today, I hope to give some advice."

Ying Zheng straightened his body and said, "The best is like water. Water is good at benefiting all things without fighting, and is in the way that everyone hates, so it is almost like the Tao. Now I live in a secluded place, devote myself to practicing, and have no dispute with the world. It seems that you already know the answer."

Li Bai thought to himself: Wu Zetian's words were somewhat questioning, but Ying Zheng did not refute it. He expressed his attitude in just a few words, that is, no matter what kind of rebellion it was, there was no need to doubt him.

Ying Zheng continued: "The heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs; the sages are not kind, and treat the people as straw dogs. How can they be between heaven and earth be so stubborn? They are empty but unyielding, and move and come out. It is better to stay in the middle than to hear and lose all the money."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Thank you for your advice!" After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.

Li Bai probably understood what Ying Zheng meant, which was to let Wu Zetian remain empty-handed, govern without doing anything, and let him develop. When he thought that he had returned empty-handedly, the people in the other world had no clue about the chaos, and when he thought of those who killed innocent people indiscriminately, he was angry at the moment.

(Four)

Li Bai suddenly stood up and said, "You are just hiding here for peace. Do you want us to let those thieves cause trouble?"

Ying Zheng still didn't open his eyes and said, "A Ke, see off the guests!"

A red light flashed into the stone room, and saw a man, wearing a black and red suit, covered with red gauze, arched his body slightly, revealing two short swords on his back, with the tip of the sword facing up, with both hands behind him, and holding the hilt tightly at the back.

Li Bai was shocked and thought that this man was so fast that he was hiding outside the stone room just now, but no one noticed that because of his extremely high martial arts skills, Ying Zheng actually called him "A Ke". Could it be that Jing Ke, who assassinated the King of Qin at the time, "Tuqiong Dagger"? Why did he look like a daughter?

Li Bai drew his sword in his hand, and the stone chamber was suddenly filled with murderous aura.

Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "This young man, the murderous aura in your hand is too strong, which is beyond the control of ordinary people. If you want to take action in the future, remember to think twice before you act!"

Li Bai thought that the blood-crying sword was caused by the stupidity of Qin Shihuang, so he snorted coldly. He was worried that he would startle the sage in the stone chamber, so he jumped out of the stone chamber and shouted: "Let's come out and gesture!"

Jing Ke flashed and left the stone chamber, still holding the hilt of the sword tightly, ready to go.

I heard Ying Zheng whisper in the stone chamber: "A Ke is unreasonable!"

When Li Bai saw Ying Zheng walking out of the stone chamber, he had an extra sandalwood box in his hand, about four feet long, and it was heavy and heavy. I don’t know what it was.

(five)

Ying Zheng said again: "This young man seems to be distracted by what I just said. I also have a few swords here, so I will see that this weapon is always an evil thing. If you are not good at guiding, you may end up suffering from it!"

After saying that, he opened the sandalwood box in his hand and suddenly shone with golden light.

Ying Zheng shouted softly, and the sword in the box flew out of thin air. Ying Zheng raised his arm and dozens of golden swords poured out like golden waterfalls, flying towards Gongsun Li!

Gongsun Li hurriedly waved the paper umbrella in his hand and blocked several pieces. Li Bai exclaimed, but it was too late. The golden sword flew past Gongsun Li's ear and disappeared in an instant. When he looked again, the golden sword was still neatly placed in the sandalwood box in Ying Zheng's hand. Ying Zheng raised his hand and held several strands of Gongsun Li's hair in his hand.

Everyone present was surprised. Li Bai knew that the sandalwood box contained fifty-five golden swords cast by Gan Jiang, but Ying Zheng's sword-controlling technique was unheard of.

Ying Zheng let a few strands of black hair scatter on the ground, sighed and said, "Even if you are skilled in swordsmanship, you can't control them. I have no intention of hurting people, but in the end it will still hurt people's body..."

Li Bai's heart was touched and he put away his sword indifferently.

Wu Zetian said: "Thank you for your teachings, we have said goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ying Zheng's voice sounded behind the three of them again: "The person who brought you here is named Xu Fu. If you have any questions, he may be able to answer it, but if you want to know the truth, you still need to experience it yourself! Your husband will also know the stop, and you can be in danger of knowing the stop. Encourage it, encourage it..."

(six)

The group left the underground palace, and the big rock at the exit slowly fell down.

Outside the underground palace, the sky is bright and the stars are sparse. Li Bai thought to himself: Ying Zheng is indeed not a bad person. Not to mention his sword-controlling skills, he may be invincible in the world. Even if he traps them in the underground palace, it will be difficult to see the light of the sky.

A fire broke out not far from the underground palace, and the three of them looked for the fire. It turned out to be the old man who brought them. He hunched over and squatted beside the fire, which was exactly what Ying Zheng said about Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was a famous alchemist during the reign of Emperor Shi. It was rumored that in order to find the elixir of immortality for Ying Zheng, he brought five thousand boys and girls to the east. Unexpectedly, he was still in Middle-earth at this time.

Li Bai walked up and said, "Sir Xu."

Xu Fu didn't raise his head and said, "Has he told you?"

Li Bai said: "That's right, the real person also instructed us that it was a matter of rebellion among people from the 'altern world', and we need to ask Mr. Xu."

Xu Fu smiled and said, "That stinky Taoist priest knew that the secret of heaven should not be revealed, so he didn't say it, but let me tell you."

Li Bai laughed in his heart. Xu Fu, Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng and Jing Ke became several happy enemies.

Xu Fu took out a pipe from his waist, lit it in the fire, and started to prick it up.

He took out a handful of powder from the cloth bag containing tobacco and waved it into the fire. The flame suddenly rose. Xu Fu said, "I can't say it either, you can see it yourself!"

The fire broke out about a foot, and figures and terrain appeared in it.

Xu Fu threw another handful of powder, and the fire became stronger. This time the terrain in the fire became clearer. It turned out to be the desert that Li Bai had been to, and the stone mountain where White ghosts and monsters were everywhere.

The fire flashed, the terrain in the fire disappeared, and the flame turned into an evil ghost with fangs and claws, and rushed towards Li Bai. When he arrived in front of him, Li Bai could see clearly that it was the stone statue. The stone statue in the fire had a hideous face, which was exactly what Liu Bang mentioned when he saw the stone statue - "Overwhelming" Xiang Yu!

Xiang Yu waved his giant sword in the fire and chopped it down at Li Bai's head. Gongsun Li exclaimed: "Be careful!"

Li Bai stood there blankly, and suddenly the fire suddenly disappeared. Looking at Xu Fu again, he slowly rose and disappeared into the darkness.

Gongsun Li stepped forward and pushed Li Bai and said, "General Li, aren't you injured?"

Li Bai then recovered and said, "It's okay, thank you for your concern."

Wu Zetian stepped forward and said, "Go back to Chang'an first, and go back to Shendu tomorrow!"
