Chapter 191: Obtain the Emperor's Sword [Subscribe]
The tomb chamber below is completely different from the tomb chamber with sword light seen through the Moon Shadow Mirror.
Isn't this the tomb we are coming to?
Ling Jin was also observing the tomb chamber below.
He looked at it for a moment, frowned and said, "Governor, this tomb seems to be wrong. It may be... a shadow room! Let me go in and take a look." He then jumped into the tomb and asked the others who had come in first to stop.
Air has been introduced into the tomb, so breathing is not obstructed.
In the faint light, one can see that the tomb is spacious and the atmosphere is cold.
There is a huge coffin in the middle.
The outside of the coffin was covered with bright red silk brocade.
Despite the passage of years, the red color on the silk brocade is still bright and eye-catching.
Ling Jin stared at the coffin and the wall, examining them inch by inch.
Not long after, he took out a small bamboo tube and poured out a drop of mercury-like liquid from it, which seeped into the ground of the tomb. He then took out a rope, as thin as a hair, and sent it in along the location where the liquid seeped.
The thin rope seemed to be pulled by something and also extended into the ground.
Ling Jin held one end of the thin rope and let it down about two meters long. He breathed a sigh of relief and then summoned out the two armored beasts again.
The bluestone floor in the tomb was paved with flying stone chips as the two armored beasts dug deeper and dug out a second hole.
Ling Jin leaped back to the entrance:
"Provincial Governor, this is a Yin-Yang room."
"The Yang Chamber is in the open, and there is a Yin Chamber underground, which is much smaller in area and is the real resting place of the tomb owner.
The people who came in first didn’t notice it, but I just discovered it.”
Cao Cao jumped in from the entrance and landed inside the tomb.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Jia Xu followed suit.
And just after Cao Cao entered the tomb, his good fortune spread out like a tide.
The darkness in the tomb seemed to be dispersed a lot.
The eerie and cold atmosphere was also weakening.
There was also a terrifying murderous aura in the trance, hiding like melting ice and snow.
The pair of armored beasts dug down for seven or eight feet before they broke through the ground again.
There is a secret room inside this tomb, hidden beneath the surface chamber.
When the second tunnel was completed, the two armored beasts returned and Ling Jin took out a gauze-like silk brocade and spread it at the entrance of the tunnel: "The tomb below is sealed, this is a dust-proof brocade, which can prevent the dark air from rushing up."
The newly opened tomb-robbing hole is still on the top wall of the tomb chamber below.
Cao Cao stood on the edge and looked down.
The hidden tomb chamber was very dark, with an area of about three meters in length and width, much smaller than the one above.
The level of refinement is even better than before.
The walls of the Yin Chamber are paved with jade and carved with relief scrolls.
There is a jade coffin in the middle.
Cao Cao squatted down and his field of vision widened, so he saw an ancient sword hanging on the wall on one side of the coffin, with a light red halo flowing.
In the tomb chamber below, sword energy was surging.
The scene and layout are consistent with what I saw through the Moon Shadow Mirror before.
This is the place to look for.
"Can I go in?"
"This Yin room is a mechanical room, very dangerous."
"I will lead the others in first, and the governor can enter later."
Ling Jin was the first to climb into the dark room below.
call--
A cluster of blue flames suddenly gushed out from the tomb.
Ling Jin pulled out an umbrella out of thin air like a magic trick.
The spell patterns on the umbrella flickered and the halo extended, like a piece of armor protecting him and blocking the raging fire.
"Wenhe, I remember you also have an umbrella like this?"
"Yes, the Water and Fire Umbrella Armor can avoid water and overcome fire."
Jia Xu took out a small umbrella and held it over himself and Cao Cao's head.
Looking down from above, the dark room is quite thrilling.
Ling Jin displayed his skills and moved along the side wall as if he were walking on flat ground, at a speed as fast as a ghost.
Several other people also went down one after another to assist Ling Jin.
It took a quarter of an hour before the tomb became quiet.
"Governor, some of the mechanisms in this tomb have not been triggered. The danger is lower than expected."
Ling Jin came up from below, and his disciples and others also entered the underworld to conduct a thorough investigation.
Cao Cao waited for more than a hundred breaths and then entered.
He looked around the ancient tomb with its numerous traps and two layers of light and dark chambers.
On the top wall are murals that survived from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The painting shows a huge gate.
The four walls are engraved with pillars and auspicious cloud patterns that extend all the way to the top wall, implying that the tomb owner will soar into the sky and ascend to heaven after his death.
On the door depicted on the top wall, the spell patterns are intertwined and faintly converge into a square-shaped spell pattern array!
"This door and the square on it look very similar to the stone door in Qinling Tomb No. 4 and the Xiantai seal..."
Before Cao Cao came, the entry gave a hint that if he came to this tomb in person, he would have unexpected gains. Does it mean that there are clues to Tomb No. 4 here?
There are also a few narrative murals on the surrounding walls.
Among them appeared a figure wearing a royal robe, accepting the people's worship.
This is a tribute to the great achievements of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
It also explains his identity, that he was the ruler of a country in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a king!
The tomb of an emperor in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty showed a picture related to Tomb No. 4. Was the tomb owner also exploring some secrets about Tomb No. 4 during his lifetime?
Baxiantai, Xiantaiyin…the large tomb on the main peak of the Qin Mausoleum.
Cao Cao pondered and looked at the bronze sword on the wall that was emitting a red glow.
Ling Jin stepped forward, successfully took the sword down and handed it to him.
Cao Cao looked down and saw that the handle of the sword was engraved with ancient Shang Dynasty characters, which read "Han Guang Sword".
According to ancient books, the Hanguang Sword was one of the three swords of Emperor Yin.
The other two are the Xiaolian Sword and the famous Chengying Sword.
Chengying is one of the ten famous swords in ancient and modern times.
The three swords are collectively known as the Three Swords of Emperor Yin. It is said that they are the swords that Emperor Yin obtained in accordance with his destiny.
Earlier, through the Moon Shadow Mirror, I saw another green sword light, also in this tomb... Cao Cao looked around the tomb.
"Provincial Governor!"
Dian Wei was surprised and said, "Look at your shadow."
Under everyone's attention, Cao Cao's shadow turned into a dragon-python-like shape when his luck manifested.
His hand holding the Han Guang sword was reflected in the shadow, presenting the illusion of a dragon extending its claws and holding the sword.
The shadows of the other people who entered the tomb together remained the same as usual, with no changes.
Ling Jin was thoughtful: "This tomb is a well of qi and luck, which can reflect the image of people's qi and luck.
I had noticed before that there was a protective aura in this tomb, but it never erupted. Entering the tomb was easier than expected because the governor brought with him the aura of all the people and armies of Yanzhou.
Some abnormalities in the tomb were suppressed by the luck brought by the governor after he came in, and did not appear. "
"This tomb can reflect the yin and yang, so you can see the governor's shadow transforming into a dragon... It is invaluable."
Cao Cao remembered the entry and said that he had millions of good fortunes and there would be no danger in entering this tomb.
Ling Jin figured out the reason and was shocked.
The luck transformed into the form of a dragon or python, indicating that the luck of heaven and earth also recognized Cao Cao and blessed him.
With the luck of a true dragon, the governor may be able to achieve empire...which makes Jin even more excited.
At this time, Cao Cao held the Han Guang Sword in one hand, with his Qi in sync, while his other hand was left in the air.
The coffin beside him shook.
The second sword light flew out from a hidden groove inside the coffin lid and fell into his hand. It was still an ancient sword with the words "Xiao Lian Sword" written on the back of the handle.
At the same time, a ray of sword light rose from the ground and a hilt appeared.
"It is this sword. In the last tomb, the sword was difficult to pull out of the ground and then disappeared. It unexpectedly appeared here."
Ling Jin reached out his hand to try to pull the sword out, but failed after several attempts.
Dian Wei went over and tried to pull it out, but failed.
Cao Cao stepped forward, his aura flowing, and extended his hand to shake it.
Inside the tomb, the sound of a sword suddenly rose up, shaking the sky.
Everyone could hear the clear sound of sword!
Looking from outside the tomb, a ray of green light broke through the ground and shot straight into the sky.
It seemed as if there were stars in the sky, which were cut down by the sword energy, and several stars disappeared from the sky.
This is certainly a vision.
But it is an indisputable fact that this sword is connected to the destiny of heaven and earth, and when the sword is drawn, it shakes the stars, the sun and the moon.
Cao Cao drew his sword.
The sword trembled in his hand as if it were a living thing.
The handle is also engraved with ancient characters from the Shang Dynasty: Chengying!
The first of the three swords of Emperor Yin!
[The tomb you opened is a sword tomb. The emperor of the Spring and Autumn Period was good at collecting famous swords. Chengying, Xiaolian and Hanguang swords were made from the same furnace. The swords coexist with twin swords.]
[Chengying is the main sword among the three swords, and is one of the ten ancient swords. It was once owned by the Shang emperor, and together with Hanguang and Xiaolian, the three swords are known as the same sword.]
The Chengying in Cao Cao's hand is a broad-backed sword unique to the Shang Dynasty.
The sword is covered with dark forging patterns.
Its material seems to be made of jade and black metal interwoven together. It has the transparency and elegance of jade, and the winding black texture looks like a domineering black dragon, which makes people fall in love with its beautiful and special shape.
The hilt is carved from white jade and cleverly matches the bronze-cast handle.
The lines of the sword's spine are smooth, gradually narrowing forward.
There is also a light green bead embedded in the handle, which shines brightly and looks very beautiful.
This sword is not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely sharp, and seems to be able to cut through all obstacles.
The name of the sword is "Chengying", which means that it can absorb all light and follow its master like a shadow.
Historically, it is said that the Chengying Sword is a sword full of mysterious power that can swallow light.
Cao Cao held it in his hand. The sword that was visible at first disappeared as if it merged with the void after he shook the sword slightly.
On the wall not far away, a vague sword shadow was reflected.
This is the origin of the Shang sword - Chengying recorded in Liezi Tangwen.
It is said that the shadow of his sword is like a ghost, wandering between reality and nothingness.
The hilt of Chengying is made of the same material as the blade, creating a perfect balance. The dark pattern in the hilt is like a dragon, showing a unique charm.
When Chengying was swung, only the hilt of the sword was visible, but not the blade.
Cao Cao waved the sword lightly, and everyone heard a roar like a dragon's roar in their ears, and the sword humming in their ears, whistling like the tide.
At the same time, seven or eight sword shadows separated, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
[Holding this sword, you can cut off divine weapons, attack +3, some hidden attributes can be superimposed]
At dawn, Cao Cao and his party came out of the tomb.
I got the three swords of Emperor Yin at once, which was a great harvest.
Cao Cao also had people make rubbings of all the murals in the tomb and related to the Qinling Tomb No. 4 in sequence, for future research.
The team set out again in the early morning and headed east towards Xuzhou.
