I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Yang Xueli continued Zhu Qingyang's words and said, "If the dragon vein is intact and the country's destiny is not affected, this matter can be handed over directly to the archaeological team. It is not within the scope of our mission."

The conversation between the few people made Professor Zhu and others feel confused.

"Comrades, what exactly are these dragon veins you keep talking about?"

There was a hint of inquiry in Professor Zhu's tone.

He has a very high opinion of the 788 Exploration Team, even looking up to them.

Han Feng was not stingy and explained, "There are mountain ranges and water veins, which are collectively called dragon veins. The ancients believed in Feng Shui, especially the places where immortals lived for a long time, which must be Feng Shui treasures. The so-called tombs of kings, princes, generals and ministers are just ordinary places, not real dragon veins, or the places where dragon veins breathe, because they are not blessed to enjoy them, nor can they suppress them. Real dragon veins usually have ancient relics built on them, which can communicate with spirits and see gods, which is extraordinary. Qin Shihuang is not an ordinary mortal, but an emperor of the ages. His tomb is comparable to immortal relics, so it should be built on a real dragon vein."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect this to be the answer.

Ruins, fairies, dragon veins... Xu Hao was puzzled and asked: "Isn't this feudal superstition? Is it really useful?"

Zhu Qingyang laughed disdainfully upon hearing this: "Are all things that ordinary people cannot understand attributed to feudal superstition? Feng Shui is indeed somewhat more ethereal than science in a sense. But you don't really think that the ancients would have continued feudal superstitions and not eliminated them? Sixty Jiazi, Plum Blossom Yishu, Five Tiger Escapes, Qimen Dunjia, etc., have made great contributions on the battlefields of ancient times. Can they really be generalized as 'superstition'?"

Zhu Qingyang’s words left Xu Hao stunned.

He instinctively wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he found that what Zhu Qingyang said was flawless and reasonable.

"Third Master, what you said makes sense..."

Professor Zhu pondered and asked curiously, "So you were able to locate the main tomb door by relying on this dragon vein?"

Han Feng nodded gently: "That's right. If the tomb door on the north side that was washed out by the heavy rain is really the main tomb entrance, it will turn the Fulong vein into a Dorsal Dragon Vein. One word difference, a thousand miles away. Since Qin Shihuang, the greatest emperor in history, can occupy the dragon vein, how could he make such a mistake?"

Although Professor Zhu and others did not fully understand Han Feng's words, they inexplicably felt that they were in line with their logic.

This made Professor Zhu wonder, is it true that Feng Shui is actually true?

Han Feng stopped paying attention to the reactions of Professor Zhu and the others, and turned to the team members, clearly conveying the leader's instructions: "Our mission is to enter the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but we don't need to go deep. We just need to confirm whether the dragon vein is damaged. According to my speculation, if this ancient tomb was built in imitation of the capital of Xianyang, then it should be divided into four layers from the inside to the outside: the underground palace, which is the burial place of Qin Shihuang; the inner palace, the outer palace, and the outermost layer. The distribution of the dragon vein is more clear, and we only need to find out the condition of the dragon vein outside the outer palace. If the dragon vein is damaged, it is our responsibility and must be resolved; if the dragon vein is safe, there is no need to go deeper, and the remaining work can be handled by the archaeological team."

"Understood!" the team members responded in unison.

Professor Zhu vaguely sensed something from these words.

He realized that this team's mission was not an ordinary geological survey, nor was it archaeology, but seemed to be closely related to the dragon veins in feng shui.

Are they a team that specializes in exploring dragon veins?

Although the specific details are unclear, Professor Zhu is convinced that the 788 Exploration Team is by no means an ordinary force.

After checking the time, Han Feng issued an order: "Take a short break, and return to the ancient tomb in five minutes to explore and determine the nature of the mission. Then report to the leader and request instructions for the next step of action."

He paused for a moment, and then solemnly warned, "After completing two missions, you should all know that compared to the ancient immortal relics, the ancient tomb is nothing. But this time is different! This is the mausoleum of an emperor who has gathered the fortune of the ancient human race and even the fortune of a dynasty. Its importance far exceeds that of ordinary relics. Therefore, everyone must be extremely careful!"

"Understood!" The 788 team members were rarely so serious and answered in unison.

The archaeological team members witnessed all this with mixed feelings.

Some people were confused by the team's bizarre remarks, while others were curious about their mysterious identities.

On the other side, in another tent, Professor Zhu said solemnly to the archaeological team members: "I still have some doubts about the 788 exploration team. But in the next tomb operation, everyone must remember that while trying to cooperate with the 788 operation, we must also ensure that our archaeological mission proceeds smoothly."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxian nodded and asked Professor Zhu, "What do you think of the dragon vein they mentioned?"

Professor Zhu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's hard for me to say now. I naturally didn't believe it before, but this team is indeed a little unusual. Now, it's hard for me to make a judgment easily. In the next action, let's make sure we complete our job first..."

Professor Zhu's words have profound meaning.

In his opinion, in the following operations, the archaeological team and the 788 exploration team will essentially remain two independent departments.

From their conversation, it seems that their target is the dragon vein rather than the ancient tomb itself.

Then, the archaeological team might as well continue to act according to the original plan. After all, fundamentally speaking, the archaeological team and the 788 exploration team have different focuses.

Both teams have to go down to the tomb, but one is to conduct archaeological work and the other is to find dragon veins. The nature of their work is completely different.

Although it is difficult for Professor Zhu to make a judgment on the matter of dragon veins, at least the two sides can refrain from interfering with each other.

"The most urgent task now is to explore the entire ancient tomb. Since it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, this will be an unprecedented major discovery in the history of Chinese archaeology. As for what the 788 Exploration Team wants to do, it's up to them..."

The other archaeological team members nodded one after another. Most of them felt something strange about Team 788.

They always say unbelievable things in a matter-of-fact tone, seeming to be out of tune with everyone.

Therefore, although this team does have some abilities, after all, everyone has different ideals, so it is better for everyone to do their own thing.

After everything was ready, the 788 exploration team led by Han Feng and the archaeological team led by Professor Zhu set off together.

However, neither side informed the other of its next course of action.

Two teams, two goals. No one spoke along the way, and they all moved forward.

When they arrived at the main entrance of the ancient tomb again, Han Feng and others were the first to go down the tunnel and turned on their flashlights.

Soon after, Professor Zhu and others came down and turned on the standard searchlight above their heads.

However, in terms of light, the searchlight above his head and the high-intensity flashlight in 788's hand are not at the same level at all.

Even if the archaeological team members do not turn on the lights, their vision will not be affected at all.

After looking at each other, they took the lead in crossing the stone tablet.

Looking around, the tomb in front of you is so majestic - an ancient city gate comes into view!

The entrance to the ancient tomb they had just entered was just a guardrail, and to actually enter the ancient tomb they had to pass through this ancient city gate.

There are two stone lions standing on both sides of the city gate. What’s even more peculiar is that there is a candle burning in the mouths of the stone lions that has been burning for thousands of years.

The faint blue firelight made the entrance of the ancient city look like a ghost town.

No one could have imagined that there was a city gate after entering the tomb.

You know, this is just outside the outer perimeter, which is the fourth floor of the imperial mausoleum, but it is already so majestic.

Qin Shihuang took the world he ruled during his lifetime into the underground.

"Snap..." Han Feng was the first to turn off the flashlight, and the rest of the team members followed suit.

It was only then that they suddenly realized that this place did not need any additional light source.

The ancient city gate is inlaid with countless luminous pearls, and between the pearls there are thousand-year-old candlelight flickering.

Although the light is cold and dim, it can indeed illuminate everything in front of you.

"Oh my god..." Zhu Qingyang widened his eyes in shock.

He thought to himself that he had seen many tombs of kings, princes, generals and ministers in his life, and even after joining the 788 Exploration Team, he had seen the ancient fairy ruins that were astonishingly beautiful.

At one time, Zhu Qingyang believed that there would be no more ancient tombs in the world as spectacular as the relics of immortals.

But now, just by seeing this ancient city gate, Zhu Qingyang gave up the idea.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is absolutely comparable to fairy relics, and even better!

In other words, this can no longer be considered a cemetery, it is itself an extraordinary ancient relic!

At this moment, I seemed to have stepped into the ancient pre-Qin period and witnessed again that ambitious and domineering era!

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the ancient city gate with some ancient characters written on it.

Zhu Qingyang read it out word by word: "Death is like life..."

Professor Zhu and others who followed closely were also obviously shocked by this scene and were speechless.

After knowing that this was the tomb of an emperor of all ages, everyone was actually mentally prepared.

They also imagined that the tomb of the greatest emperor in history must be something extraordinary.

But now, after seeing it with their own eyes, the members of the archaeological team all felt that they were too naive and that their imaginations were too limited.

This is not a mausoleum at all, it's simply the reincarnation of the Qin Dynasty!

After hearing what Zhu Qingyang said, Professor Zhu pushed his glasses and said, "This sentence should be the ritual system followed by Qin Shihuang. The entire imperial mausoleum will embody the ritual system of 'treating the dead as if they were alive', which is why it is so large in scale and has such a special structure..."

"But how can there be a candle flame that lasts for a thousand years?"

Looking at the dim candlelight, Zhang Xiaoxian said with surprise.

However, Han Feng and the others answered in unison: "It should be made of mermaid oil..."

Several people had seen this kind of candlelight before in the North Sea ruins, so they were able to recognize it at a glance.

At the same time, several people were full of doubts. How did Qin Shihuang get these mermaid candles?

Does this mean that during the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang already knew about the existence of the Beihai clan?

It seems that the history of the ancient pre-Qin period is far more complicated than we know...

Several people looked at each other. They all understood the doubts in each other's hearts, but no one said much.

Wen Wenbin, the only one who didn't know the truth, looked at Han Feng and Yang Xueli from time to time, and felt very surprised by their strange expressions.

Professor Zhu frowned and asked, "What is mermaid oil?"

Han Feng thought for a moment and replied vaguely: "It is the oil of a special creature. After being made into candles, it can achieve the effect of being inextinguishable for a thousand years."

Professor Zhu was obviously still very confused. How could such a creature exist in this world?

But this was not the time to ask too many questions. Everyone had the same goal at this moment, which was to cross this ancient city gate and see what was inside.

With this thought in mind, Professor Zhu signaled the team members to follow.

The members of the archaeological team took the lead and walked towards the ancient city gate.

However, Han Feng and his companions did not move, but just looked around solemnly.

"Since ancient times, ancient city gates have been used to defend against enemies. Qin Shihuang built an ancient city gate here. It wouldn't be just for the sake of appearance, or to leave a door for us at 788 to welcome us, right?"

Zhu Qingyang was just saying it casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise.

"Ka...ka...ka..."

Han Feng and his companions were very familiar with this sound; it was the sound of a mechanism being activated.

"careful!"

Han Feng immediately reminded him.

After all, the archaeological team was professional, so they stopped immediately and looked around.

However, along with these loud noises, the originally flat suspension bridge leading to the ancient city gate actually slowly rose up.

Several black iron chains as thick as arms were constantly tightened, pulling the suspension bridge high up.

After the drawbridge was raised, everyone discovered that a moat had been dug in front of the ancient city gate.

At this time, there was still an underground river flowing under the suspension bridge.

"A masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time..."

Professor Zhu watched this scene excitedly.

This imperial mausoleum is a one-to-one replica of the ancient capital of Xianyang, and even has a moat added!

The drawbridge was up and the city gate was safe.

This was an almost impenetrable line of defense at the time.

At this moment, Ah Jing suddenly frowned: "No, the moat was only one of the defense systems at that time. Generally speaking, there will be another way to cooperate with the moat to achieve an effective defense effect!"

Hearing this, Professor Zhu and the others suddenly realized and said in unison: "Bow and arrow!"

After all, the archaeological team led by Professor Zhu is professional, but it is slightly weaker than the 788 Exploration Team.

The team members immediately realized the deep meaning of what Ah Jing said, and Zhang Xiaoxian immediately gave the order: "Quickly retreat! We are too close to the city gate now!"

Upon hearing this, the team members retreated, but it seemed a little too late.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

There was a sound of breaking air. Professor Zhu and others turned around to look at the direction of the sound, only to see that the city wall was filled with figures, like Acropolis soldiers!

A huge number of arrows were fired from the hands of these figures.

The arrowheads of each bow and arrow were black, obviously having been poisoned in advance.

"No! They don't have time to get out of range!"

Han Feng spoke as he clenched the Vajra Umbrella in his hand.
