Chapter 806 Entrance to the Imperial Tomb
Yan Nanfei said: "I haven't set foot in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. The changes in the Central Plains are long gone. So we searched all the way from Yangzhou. A few days ago, when we arrived in Luoyang, we remembered what Big Brother Li said, If you come to the Central Plains and encounter troubles in the future, we can ask you for help, so we took the jade pendant left by Brother Li and searched for it in Luoyang City for a while. Ten days ago, someone found us and said that he could take us to Brother Li. He brought us here. Unexpectedly, he actually found Brother Li."

Li Canghai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What is that person's name? Where is he now?"

"He didn't say his name, and after bringing us here, he disappeared." Wanyu said.

"Cang Hai, who would be so kind?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who he is, there must be an ulterior purpose in coming here this time."

"By the way, I just heard from Sister Qing that you are looking for Qin Huang's Tomb?" Wanyu asked.

"Well, I was ordered to come here to search for the elixir of life. However, after searching for a few days, I couldn't find the location of the imperial tomb." Li Canghai rubbed his brows and said.

Yan Nanfei pondered: "I still have some impressions about the imperial tomb. I also built the imperial tomb here, and was rescued by my father later. This imperial tomb is located under this Lishan Mountain! The Mausoleum was dug up by manpower, and after the dome was built, the earth and rocks were filled back in. The imperial mausoleum is huge, from the shore of the Wei River to the entire Lishan Mountain, it is all within the scope of the imperial mausoleum."

"It seems that I guessed correctly. The imperial tomb is indeed located under Mount Li. However, the entrance to the imperial tomb is unknown." Li Canghai shook his head.

Yan Nanfei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, carefully recalling the events of that year.

Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "I vaguely remember that the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is not on the mountain, but underground..."

"Underground, underground?" Li Canghai rubbed his chin, pondering.

After a while, he suddenly jumped up and said in disbelief, "Could it be there?"

As he spoke, Li Canghai hurriedly turned the map on the table upside down.

"Cang Hai, have you found the entrance to the Imperial Tomb?" Di Qing asked in surprise seeing his serious face.

"It's not sure yet, I need to go to Mount Li again tomorrow." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Yan Nanfei, Linlin and the others were all surprised. Before they came, they had heard from Di Qing that they had only been here for five days. Could it be that Li Canghai could find the entrance to the Imperial Tomb within five days?This is too incredible.

Li Canghai put away the map and asked, "What about Maomao and the others? Why are there only four of you?"

Yan Nanfei said: "We didn't all come here, Maomao and the others are still staying in Luoyang."

Li Canghai nodded and said: "It's rare for you to come here, we're going to have a drink with him tonight, you wait, I'll get some good wine and meat!"

After saying that, Li Canghai left the farmhouse, went to the General Temple to ask Tao Bai for the best wine and meat.

That night, several people surrounded the fire, eating and chatting, very happy.

Early the next morning, Li Canghai left the village and took the crowd to the highest peak of Mount Li.

Standing at the highest point of Lishan Mountain, you have an excellent view, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire Lishan Mountain and the two sides of the Weihe River.

Holding a map in his hand, Li Canghai carefully looked in the direction of the Weihe River, looking for similarities according to the map.

Tao Bai looked at him with a frown on the side. He had seen this map before, and even went up the mountain to look for it himself, but there was no peak in the shape of a dragon's head in Lishan Mountain.

But at this time, the direction Li Canghai was looking at was not Lishan, but Weishui, which made him very puzzled.

"Li Canghai, the fifth day is up, if you want to play tricks, you will have to pay the price!" Tao Bai reminded.

Li Canghai ignored him, just smiled coldly, and continued to look towards Weishui.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a tributary of the Wei River, pointed to that tributary, and said in a deep voice: "I found it, the entrance of the imperial mausoleum is at the end of that river!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked in the direction he pointed.

I saw a river between Lishan and Weishui. The river was not very wide, and at the end was a pool.

"You mean the entrance of the imperial mausoleum is in the river?" Tao Bai asked with a frown.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Actually, we were all wrong. We always thought that the peaks marked on this map were mountain peaks, but in fact it was not. It was just a graphic. We should turn it over and see that The dragon's head appeared under the mountain. That is to say, the entrance of the imperial mausoleum is actually a dragon's head under the Lishan Mountain! I have observed for a long time, and there is only the end of the river between the Lishan Mountain and the Weishui River. It looks like a dragon's head. Therefore, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is likely to be hidden under that pool of water!"

Tao Bai hurriedly snatched the map from Li Canghai's hands, and looked towards the river.

Seen from a height, the direction of the river does look like a dragon, and the head of the dragon is a lake at the end, and the opposite side of the lake is a cliff.

There is a waterfall on the cliff, and the waterfall pours down and falls into the lake.

Tao Bai frowned. He looked at the waterfall and said, "If the entrance of the imperial mausoleum is really located in that lake, it would be a troublesome matter. It's winter now, and the lake is freezing cold. How can I go down to the lake to find it?"

"At this point, we can only take one step at a time." Li Canghai squinted his eyes, took a closer look at the lake, and muttered: "Come on, let's go there first and have a look, maybe we will find something unexpected .”

The crowd followed Li Canghai and descended from Mount Li to Longshou Lake.

The length and width of Longshou Lake are tens of feet. At this time, the lake surface is frozen into one piece. Walking on it, you can vaguely see all kinds of fish growing under the ice surface.

The water of the waterfall on the opposite side of Longshou Lake is in a downward trend and freezes into one body with the lake surface.

Di Qing jumped on the ice and found that the ice was firmer, so she said, "Cang Hai, this lake has been frozen to a thickness of at least two feet, what are your plans?"

In fact, not only Di Qing, but everyone knew that there was nothing they could do in this situation.

If the entrance of the imperial mausoleum was really located under the lake, they would have to dive into the lake to find it, but right now it's winter, and the lake is frozen together, if they go down into the lake, won't they freeze to death?

Even if the imperial mausoleum is really under the lake, how can it be so easy to find it?Who can stay underwater for long?

Tao Bai looked at the ice layer under his feet, his eyebrows almost twitched.

Right now, there is only one way to find the entrance to the imperial mausoleum, and that is to drain all the water in the lake.

However, if you want to drain all the water from such a large lake, you will need to spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and will waste more time.
