Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 809
Li Canghai suddenly understood that An Lushan may never have been interested in immortality, what he really cared about was the weapons forged by the Great Qin Secret Method.

As long as he has those weapons, he will be able to deal with the Xuanjia Army, and then sweep the world.

Li Canghai frowned, Tao Bai came here just to find the way, An Lushan's men must be hiding around this Lishan Mountain, and when Tao Bai found the whereabouts of the weapons, they would come to the imperial tomb to search.

In the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, apart from weapons, there are also a large number of treasures. If An Lu Mountain can get all these treasures, the whole world will definitely be captured by An Lu Mountain!
Thinking of hitting here, Li Canghai's face became more serious.

After pondering for a while, Li Canghai decided to prevent Tao Bai from opening the military mansion first, and then search for the medicine of longevity.

But as soon as he made a decision, Yan Nanfei stopped him.

"Brother Li, I have heard my father say that everything in this imperial tomb is controlled by mechanisms. Counting from the time when the tomb was opened, it will only be opened for six hours. After six hours, all passages will be blocked by the broken dragon stone." If it is blocked, the entire Imperial Mausoleum will be completely submerged underground. We have already wasted an hour, and there is not much time left." Yan Nanfei said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Canghai frowned even tighter.

"Cang Hai, why do you value Tao Bai so much?" Di Qing asked puzzled.

Li Canghai told several people what was in his heart, and said: "An Lushan's intention of treason is clearly revealed. If he gets these weapons, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, I must stop him!"

"If you go to stop Tao Bai, who will look for the elixir of life?" Di Qing asked.

Li Canghai didn't speak, this is indeed a troublesome matter.

There is only one choice between stopping Tao Bai and finding the elixir of longevity.

Let Li Canghai choose, he will definitely choose to stop Tao Bai, but the medicine of longevity is also the most important thing.

Di Qing held his hand and said softly: "Cang Hai, if anyone in this world can find the elixir of life, that person must be you. Don't worry about finding the elixir of longevity. Tao Bai will leave it to me."

"No! Tao Bai is cunning, and his martial arts are not low. I can't let you take risks." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Di Qing giggled, and said: "It's okay, Tao Bai's subordinates are almost dead, he may not be my opponent alone."

Lu Jitong cupped his hands and said, "My lord, why don't you let the humble official follow the princess to arrest Tao Bai! The humble official will swear to protect the princess and never let the princess suffer any harm!"

Di Qing saw that Li Canghai looked a little hesitant, so she blinked her eyes and said, "Canghai, I have Ji Tong with me, now you should feel relieved!"

Li Canghai bowed his head and pondered for a long time before making a decision, and solemnly said to the two of them, "In this case, Tao Bai will be handed over to you. There are many organs in this imperial tomb, and there are many dangers, so don't act recklessly! If you can’t catch it, try to trap it, and when I find the elixir of life, I’ll go look for you immediately.”

Di Qing nodded, and then she and Lu Jitong walked towards the corridor of the Military Mansion.

After the two left, Li Canghai calmed down, and continued walking with Li Yu, Yan Nanfei and others.

Passing through the two outer cities in a row, several people came to the inner city of the underground palace.

There is a square in the inner city, and there are many military servants standing in the square.

At the end of the square, there is a towering and majestic palace.

"This is where the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is located, and the coffin of the First Emperor is placed in this palace!" Yan Nanfei said.

Li Canghai looked up at the palace, and suddenly felt a majestic coercion coming from the palace.

After all, the first emperor was an emperor through the ages, even though he was dead, this aura of disdain for heaven and earth still made people feel respectful.

Yan Nanfei and the others looked pale. To them, Emperor Shihuang was like a god.

Although the first emperor has been dead for nearly a thousand years, it still scares them.

Li Canghai walked up the steps step by step with awe in mind.

There are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in total, and each step is carved from white jade.

In the main hall, it is even more majestic.

The ground is paved with glazed jade, and the beams and columns are poured with gold. On both sides of the hall, there are servants of civil and military officials. These servants are lifelike, as if they are still guarding the first emperor.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a Jiulong jade pedestal more than nine feet high.

There are two giant golden dragons connected end to end around the jade platform. The two dragons form a ring and guard the jade platform. On the jade platform, there is a huge emerald jade coffin.

"This...is this the coffin of the First Emperor?" Li Yu was dumbfounded and muttered to himself.

Yan Nanfei and others knelt on the ground and saluted the First Emperor, then stood up, nodded and said, "That's right, this is the coffin of the First Emperor."

"Where is the elixir of life?" Li Yu glanced around, and suddenly saw a dragon coiled on the top of the hall, and shouted: "Look above!"

Everyone looked up and saw a golden dragon above the main hall.

The golden dragon was right on top of the first emperor's coffin, with its head drooping downwards, making one feel as though it might rush down from above at any moment.

What really attracted everyone's attention was a bead floating in front of the dragon's head.

The bead is only about the size of an egg, golden yellow all over, exuding bursts of light, it looks miraculous.

"That bead can actually float in the air, could it be the elixir of life?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

Li Canghai was also amazed, he had never seen anything that could float, but he always felt a little strange.

This feeling has always existed since he entered the hall.

He always felt that the hall was too quiet, as if there were countless pairs of eyes peeping at them in the dark. This feeling was like a thorn in his back, which made him very uncomfortable.

"It's too quiet here, I'm worried that something bad will happen, please don't mess with anything!" Li Canghai raised his head and stared at the bead, and said in a deep voice.

But at this moment, Li Yu's exclamation suddenly came: "Come and see, there is a stone tablet here!"

Li Canghai hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that there was indeed a stone tablet on the right side of the main hall.

Several people hurriedly surrounded the past.

The stone tablet is as tall as two people, and the characters on the tablet are in Qin seal script, and all the records are the great achievements of Qin Shihuang.

But some things on the stele caught Li Canghai's attention.

According to the stele, the reason why Qin Shihuang was able to destroy the six kingdoms and unify China was not only the invincible weapons, but also the most important point, which was the help of various schools of thought behind the scenes.

In order to end the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, which lasted for hundreds of years of war, the various schools of thought chose the talented Yingzheng as their assistant.

However, Ying Zheng is also very capable. After succeeding to the throne, he developed his national strength and soon made Great Qin the most powerful country among the six countries.
