    Chapter 37: Trip to the Imperial Mausoleum

    City X.  This is an ancient land where the old masters of history have carved countless brilliance.

    This is a place full of magic and vitality. When you approach it, you will be amazed by the perfect and vast historical relics, and you will also be amazed by the vitality of modern construction!

    The city of

    The history of a city is the history of a nation!

    Chang'an, this eternal city, is like a living history book, recording the vicissitudes of the Chinese nation page by page.

    Chang'an has a history of more than 3,100 years.  In history, twelve dynasties including Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty established their capitals here, which lasted for more than 1100 years.  Qin Shihuang built the Afang Palace, a masterpiece in the history of Chinese architecture, here, and built the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Lishan, a large-scale and extremely rich historical treasure house.  During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Chang'an was the center of China's politics, economy, culture and foreign exchanges. It was the first international metropolis with a population of more than one million at that time.

    "There is Rome in the west and Chang'an in the east" is a reflection of Chang'an's status in world history.  To this day, Chang'an is as famous as the world-famous cities of Athens, Cairo, and Rome, and is also known as the world's four ancient civilization capitals.

    Today¡¯s X City is a modern city with a prosperous economy, beautiful environment, civilized and tidy industries, mainly in machinery, electronics, electrical engineering, aerospace, and light industry. It has more than 500 scientific research institutions and more than 40 colleges and universities.  This place has been an important transportation thoroughfare since ancient times, and it is the throat from eastern China to the northwest, southwest and countries in West Asia.  Nowadays, railways, highways and aviation are intertwined into a network that extends in all directions, connecting X City with the whole country.

    City X has many imperial tombs.  The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, and the Han Mausoleum include 11 mausoleums.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Maoling, Emperor Jing's Yangling, Emperor Wen's Baling, Emperor Xuan's Duling and so on.  There are 20 mausoleums in the Tang Tomb.  18 of them are located in Shaanxi; Taizong Li Shimin's Zhaoling Mausoleum, Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum, Yang Guifei's Tomb, etc.

    The destination of Mr. Meng and others, the mausoleum of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin Dynasty, is located on the half slope southeast of Dayan Pagoda in X City and south of Xiqujiangchi Village.

    After more than ten hours of driving, Meng Lao and Yuan Kai finally arrived in X city.

    City X, Yellow Whale Village.

    The Yellow Whale Village in front of us is indeed a relatively remote and poor place.

    In fact, in China, there are quite a few mountain villages like this. Don¡¯t believe it, this is also a fact. After all, some places are really a bit backward.  Like today's Huangjing Village, most of the houses in the village are built with tiles. Not to mention electrical appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., it is already good to have a TV.

    However, new houses are slowly starting to be built here.

    "Hello, Mr. Yuan! I am Xiao Jie, we contacted you yesterday." A middle-aged man, with a strange appearance, gave people the impression of being suspicious.

    "Hello, Xiao Jie. I'm Yuan Kai." Yuan Kai and Xiao Jie started chatting, and both sides said some polite words.

    In the luxury car, Mr. Meng, Yuan Kai and Xiao Jie sat down respectively.  Meng Lao smiled and said nothing, just looking at the two of them lightly.

    Yuan Kai coughed restrainedly and said to Xiao Jie: "Mr. Xiao, are you familiar with Huangjing Village?"

    Xiao Jie nodded and said: "I, Xiao Jie, have no other abilities, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm just a tomb robber, and you can be considered an archeologist, right? Professor Wang and I are also friends. This matter was entrusted by Professor Wang."  Yes, Xiao, who can help, will naturally not shirk"

    In Xiao Jie's opinion, Professor Wang is from the field of archeology and smuggling, and he is familiar with Teacher Wang, and he has entrusted himself to be the "tour guide" for the two of them. It is not that far away if he is not in this field.  Therefore, Xiao Jie did not hide his identity.

    Mr. Meng has not been to X city for decades. Although he has a general impression of the place, it only takes a few days to determine the location of the mausoleum.  But I had to avoid long nights and many dreams, so I found Xiao Jie.  After hearing Xiao Jie talk about his tomb robbery, Mr. Meng nodded with satisfaction.  This is because the development has been too rapid in the past ten years, and most places have been affected.  Most of the previous mountains were demolished, and although the river was not filled in, its course was changed.

    Seeing Mr. Meng nodding, Yuan Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became thicker.

    "You should know Huang Banpo, right? I haven't been to this place for more than 20 years. The world has changed so fast. It really takes a lot of time to find Huang Banpo now." Meng Lao looked at Xiao Jie and said slowly.

    "Haha, Mr. Meng, you are asking the right person. If you ask others, few people will know, because Huangbanpo was bulldozed and renovated fifteen years ago. The families there have all moved to other villages, and  I happened to live near Huangbanpo, and later moved to Huangjing Village." Xiao Jie took a sip of his drink and laughed.?.

    "Well, it's good to know." Mr. Meng nodded.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost dark now, we¡¯ll leave for Huangbanpo at twelve o¡¯clock tonight!¡±

    Although Xiao Jie had doubts, why did he leave at twelve o'clock in the evening?  Moreover, the mountain roads are not easy to walk at night.  Of course, he won't ask these questions.  There are things he shouldn't know so he won't ask. He is only responsible for collecting money and leading the way.

    "Okay, Mr. Meng, it's up to you to make the decision." Xiao Jie nodded readily.

    It soon came to night. After Meng Lao and the other three set out, a huge python head stretched out from the grass in front of the village

    Wang Badao followed Yuan Kai and others all the way, and finally arrived at Yellow Whale Village when it was dark.

    This is the real extreme run!  Wang Ba Dao's speed is good, but after all, it is not a machine. For more than ten hours and hundreds of miles, no matter how good the endurance is, it still has to be exhausted.  Fortunately, I smelled the scent left by Yuan Kai and Mr. Meng on the way so I didn't lose them.  Moreover, Wang Ba Dao cannot run arrogantly on the road, and sometimes he has to hide when there are many people.  Or just take the mountain road. It can be said that you can see the mountains and cross the mountains, and see the rivers and cross the rivers.

    Wang Badao followed slowly, not daring to get too close for fear of being discovered by Mr. Meng.  Just follow the whereabouts of Mr. Meng, Yuan Kai and others, then follow them up and hang tightly behind them.

    At twelve o'clock in the evening, the sky was pitch black, with only a faint moonlight shining on the earth.

    To get to Huangbanpo, you have to pass through three mountains.  In fact, some experienced people know that if you go into the mountains at night, venomous snakes and beasts are one of the dangers, but there are more than just a few dangers in the mountains.  For example, the various mosquitoes that appear at night are a big trouble.

    Meng Lao and Xiao Jie have both practiced, so it¡¯s nothing.  But only Xiao Jie is an ordinary person.  However, Xiao Jie was really well prepared and had put mosquito repellent on his body. Although the mosquito repellent didn't feel good on his body, it was much better than being bitten by a mosquito.

    Xiao Jie was also sprayed with realgar agent, so it was also a great deterrent to the venomous snakes inside.  I haven't encountered a poisonous snake until now. Even if there is a snake in front, it will be driven to the side by the smell of realgar. After all, the snake's fatal injury is the realgar.

    And Wang Badao followed behind, and the smell of the realgar agent made him very disgusted

    Xiao Jie also wanted to give mosquito repellent and realgar agent to Meng Lai and Yuan Kai, but they refused.  Later, when he found out that the two of them were warriors, Xiao Jie no longer dared to think wrongly.

    As a tomb robber, he naturally has some knowledge and knows the existence of the "Chinese martial arts world".

    Yuan Kai said as he walked: "Xiao Jie, actually we went to Huangjing Village this time to enter a tomb that has never been discovered before. You are a tomb robber and should be very familiar with tombs. I hope you can take us inside."  Mausoleum. How about it? Think about it, I will give you a reward of one million when you are done!"

    Xiao Jie looked troubled: "This this is not good. The mausoleum is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may never get out. Moreover, you still"

    "three million!"

    Seeing that Xiao Jie still wanted to shirk, Yuan Kai said calmly again: "Five million!"

    "Uh!" As a tomb robber, the word integrity is not worth a hundred yuan to him.  When Yuan Kai offered a remuneration of 1 million, Xiao Jie originally wanted to agree, but it was just a habit of bargaining. Little did he know that the remuneration would eventually rise to 5 million

    "Okay! I hope Mr. Yuan will keep his promise!"

    Xiao Jie had a troubled expression on his face, as if he was cruel, but in fact he was already happy in his heart.

    Of course, Xiao Jie also knows that this matter is not that simple, but now he is in a dilemma.  In a place like this, two warriors trying to kill him would be no different from killing an ant!

    And Yuan Kai is also helpless. There are many dangers in the tomb, and sometimes it is inevitable to need someone to explore the way. This kind of person is commonly known as: cannon fodder!

    If it were just him and Mr. Meng, he would be chosen as the cannon fodder without even thinking about it.  But now that Xiao Jie has joined, it is naturally Xiao Jie's turn to explore the path.  Moreover, Xiao Jie has been robbing tombs for more than ten years and has rich experience. It is relatively safe for several people to enter the tomb.  Moreover, at least Mr. Meng did not object. Maybe he also had this idea, but Yuan Kai said it first.

    Wang Badao followed Meng Lao and the other three people through mountains and rivers.  From time to time, he had to squeeze through a small hole, and he couldn't help but admire the tomb robber in front of him named Xiao Jie. He was indeed a professional.  Because of the conversation between the three of them, Wang Badao could faintly hear some of it from behind.  But admiration comes from admiration. This walk lasted almost two hours.

    Finally arrived at Huangbanpo.

    Xiao JieSaid: "Okay, this is Huangbanpo."

    Meng Lao nodded slightly and glanced around.  The former villages have now turned into mountains, forests and grassy plains.  Mr. Meng took out a map from his chest and handed it to Xiao Jie: "This is the internal map of the mausoleum. Please study it carefully. You can use it later."

    Xiao Jie took the map and looked at it carefully.

    The outermost edge of the map is a maze with mountains and rivers inside How is this possible?  How come there are mountains and rivers inside the mausoleum?  Xiao Jie was puzzled, wondering whether Mr. Meng had picked up the wrong map.

    As if seeing Xiao Jie's doubts, Mr. Meng explained: "There is a maze outside, and the Milky Way inside This is the tomb of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin. Among the tombs of emperors in the past, the most dangerous one is undoubtedly the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Inside  There are many mechanisms that are difficult to crack with modern technology. And the danger of the tomb of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, is definitely among the top ten. So, I must be careful. If something happens, I will not be able to save you with my power.  wait."

    Xiao Jie took a deep breath when he heard this.  Because among the many tombs, the tombs of the Qin Dynasty are the most difficult to excavate, let alone the imperial tombs of the Qin Dynasty.

    Although the difficulty of the Mausoleum of Qin II Hu Hai is more than one step lower than that of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, and may not be as difficult as two or three tenths of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, the level of danger of the Qin II Emperor Hu Hai's Mausoleum is still higher than that of the Han or Tang dynasties.  The imperial mausoleum is many times stronger.

    Xiao Jie looked a little embarrassed. This time he was not pretending, he was really "cheated".

    "If Xiao Jie had known that it was the tomb of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, he would not have been willing to take the risk even if it was 10 million, let alone 5 million.  But he had already agreed, but facing two powerful martial arts masters, he still didn't have the guts to break his promise.

    Suddenly, Yuan Kai said: "It's too late to quit now! Of course, as long as we successfully enter the mausoleum and obtain some of the things we need, after that is accomplished, I will give you a reward of 30 million yuan. Yuan will never break his promise! I want to  Think, 30 million is enough for you for a lifetime! As long as you succeed, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! What kind of women will not have money? Women who you could only look up to in the past will automatically come to your door to let you have sex.  Haha, think about it yourself"

    Although he said he was considering it, the murderous intent in Yuan Kai's eyes became more and more obvious

    Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jie also knew that things could not get better.  I also decided to take a gamble, since there was no way out anyway.

    "Okay! Xiao is also willing to risk it!"

    pS: I won¡¯t go to work tonight, I¡¯ll be coding all night, and I want to end my trip to the city as soon as possible.  Now, I¡¯m asking for some more recommendations, and of course, reviews, rewards¡­ all comers are welcome!
