I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Black belongs to water, not to mention the flowing water pattern, which also belongs to water.

Because the totem of the Zhou people was fire, Qin Shihuang always believed that the water of Qin would extinguish the fire of Zhou.

The people wearing green robes and white clothes below the mural should be officials of the third rank and above and common people of the Qin Dynasty respectively.

I have seen some records in ancient books that the Qin Dynasty stipulated that officials above the third rank wore green robes, and ordinary people wore white robes. "

Xu Hao looked puzzled at the moment, but he looked at Zhu Qingyang with admiration: "Third Master! You also know this? I always thought that local scholars had no culture."

It is obvious that Xu Hao's admiration for Zhu Qingyang has reached the point where he can no longer conceal it.

It seemed that Xu Hao felt that every word Zhu Qingyang said made a lot of sense.

Zhu Qingyang immediately glanced at Xu Hao and said, "What's wrong with the tomb robbers? I'm telling you, the real tomb robbers are no worse than your archaeological team. Many historical truths are actually hidden in ancient books and unofficial histories!"

Zhu Qingyang's words made Xu Hao nod immediately: "Yes, yes, what the Third Master said is right!"

The reason for this attitude is, firstly, that Xu Hao really admires Zhu Qingyang, and secondly, Zhu Qingyang has indeed proved this statement with his own experience.

Han Feng looked around and found that there was no coffin in the tomb.

On the floor was a map of the Qin State made of jewels, and on the surrounding walls were murals.

"This should be similar to a merit hall, mainly used to record the great achievements of Qin Shihuang. The map under his feet implies that he unified the six kingdoms, and the murals on the wall are also various records of his achievements."

Others had no objection to this.

Professor Zhu walked to a wall, observed it carefully and said: "The mural on this wall should record the achievements of Qin Shihuang in building the Great Wall. The mural clearly depicts how he connected the Great Wall built by the three northern kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qin during the Warring States Period. There is even a sentence next to it: 'The Great Wall was built according to the terrain, and it was used to control dangerous places and extended for more than ten thousand miles...'"

Zhang Xiaoxian, who was standing in front of another wall, continued, "This wall should record the achievements of Qin Shihuang in unifying weights and measures. He used the Qin State's weights and measures from Shang Yang's time as the national unified standard for length, size, and weight. This indeed laid an important foundation for future generations."

Everyone was concentrating on observing the murals on the wall, trying to understand the life of this legendary emperor.

However, at this moment, Wen Wenbin's voice suddenly came with a bit of surprise: "Come and see, what is recorded on the mural on this wall?"

After hearing Wen Wenbin's words, Han Feng and others gathered together and soon discovered that the mural was indeed a bit strange.

There was a vast ocean above, and the most bizarre thing was that a few human heads could be vaguely seen in the ocean, as if these people were sticking their heads out of the ocean and looking out.

Moreover, these people are portrayed as extremely ugly and hideous.

On the other side, Qin Shi Huang was waving his hands to give orders, with a rain of arrows shooting out from behind him.

Wen Wenbin couldn't understand it, and neither could Professor Zhu and the others, but there was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Han Feng and the others.

They realized that those ugly people in the sea were the mermaids they saw in the North Sea ruins.

Did Qin Shi Huang really come into contact with the Beihai clan during his eastern tour?

This also seems to explain why there are things like mermaid candles in ancient tombs.

What surprised them even more was that there seemed to be a long, huge creature looming in the sea in the mural.

In the eyes of Professor Zhu and others, this mural is difficult to understand, but Han Feng and others are surprised by it.

They thought, this couldn't all be a coincidence, otherwise why would even the figure of the North Sea Ancestral Dragon be drawn?

What exactly this great emperor experienced cannot be fully explained by these murals alone.

However, looking around, this hall is full of the great achievements of the First Emperor.

At the same time, the last few murals also record the scene when he ordered the construction of the imperial tomb.

But when they saw one of the murals, Professor Zhu and the others looked solemn, with shock in their eyes...

The mural clearly shows the process of Qin Shihuang ordering the firing of pottery figurines.

There are many completed human figures around.

The mural vividly shows each production step: first, the clay mold is used to make the initial embryo, then it is covered with a layer of fine sand for processing, and the details are carved. Some are fired first and then connected, and some are connected first and then fired. These pottery figurines have uniform firing, pure color, and high hardness, which became the standard for judgment.

Each process has different division of labor and a strict workflow.

Rows of servants appeared, and the scene was magnificent.

Most of them are images of soldiers and horses, including war horses, soldiers, and even chariots.

Another mural depicts the scene of these servants being buried with Qin Shihuang.

Professor Zhang was so excited when he saw this that he said, "If we can really find these terracotta warriors, it will be a major discovery!"

Zhang Xiaoxian couldn't hide her excitement and nodded: "Yes, since the murals record that these terracotta warriors were buried together, then they must be somewhere. Such a discovery is enough to shock the whole of China, and even the whole world."

All members of the archaeological team were very excited about this discovery. After all, this was something they might never encounter in their entire lives.

Judging from the murals, these servants were carved very delicately and with great skill.

If it could really be preserved to this day, it would be a lifelike reproduction of the Qin Dynasty!

As archaeologists, how could they not be excited?

It is indeed as they expected. In the new era to come, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit will indeed be world-famous scenic spots and historical sites, and one of the wonders of the world!

However, it was only 1974.

Zhu Qingyang looked at the mural, thoughtfully.

He was always carefree, but it was rare for him to show such a serious expression. Han Feng and others felt a little strange.

"Mr. Cat, what's wrong with you?" they asked.

Zhu Qingyang looked at the mural and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that this mural looks weird, completely different from the others. The main function of a mural is to record, but I always feel that this mural is a bit abrupt. It is different from the style of other murals. It feels like this mural has been modified many times before it was formed..."

Zhu Qingyang's voice was not loud when he said this, but it quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Professor Zhang pushed up his glasses and asked in confusion, "Mr. Mao, why do you say that?"

Zhu Qingyang pointed to the murals on the wall and said, "These murals should have been completed in the same period, so it's normal for there to be a slight color difference. But you can see that the firing scene and the terracotta warrior scene are obviously separated by a long time, and the terracotta warrior scene is obviously more prominent. So I think the original content was not like this, and this scene should have been revised later."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxian looked in the direction Zhu Qingyang pointed, and then said with some confusion: "The technical means at that time were limited. Maybe it's not as complicated as you think..."

Zhu Qingyang was not convinced when he heard this: "Master Mao's eyes have never been wrong!"

As he spoke, he opened the treasure chest and searched for something...

Soon, he took out a small bottle and a small brush.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Zhu Qingyang came to the mural that he thought was problematic, opened the bottle, dipped the liquid inside, and then carefully brushed it on the mural.

"Hey..." Professor Zhang was worried that Zhu Qingyang would destroy the murals, and just as he was about to stop him, he was stopped by Han Feng: "Don't worry, Professor Zhang, he is the most professional among us in this field..."

After hearing this, Professor Zhang had to temporarily suppress his worries and watched Zhu Qingyang carefully paint on the mural.

However, Zhu Qingyang did not apply it all over, but only selected certain places.

But after looking around, others didn't notice any changes.

After finishing all this in a moment, Zhu Qingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's almost done..."

Others felt a little puzzled as they looked at the mural which remained unchanged.

Even Han Feng frowned in confusion at this moment: "We can't see what's different..."

Zhu Qingyang said immediately after hearing this: "Don't worry, turn off the flashlight, I will tell for myself whether what I said is true or not!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng and several others turned off their flashlights first, and the archaeological team members also turned off their overhead lights at the signal of Professor Zhang.

In an instant, the entire tomb fell into despairing darkness again.

But then, in front of everyone's eyes, the mural that Zhu Qingyang had just painted actually glowed slightly.

But in this light, several people saw completely different pictures.

It is still a scene of firing terracotta warriors, but they are no longer made of clay. Instead, living people are placed into the already fired figurines, and after being coated a second time, they are thrown into high temperature firing again.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes. Zhu Qingyang's voice came at this moment: "I just applied some fluorescent powder to amplify the hidden details. In the darkness, the truth emerged."

"This...this..." Professor Zhang was dumbfounded, and even couldn't believe his eyes. "The mural shows that so many soldiers and mercenaries were buried together. Could they be alive?"

Zhu Qingyang thought and shook his head. "It's unlikely. After all, there are so many mercenaries. How many people would have to be executed? Considering the population size of the Qin Dynasty, it's simply unrealistic. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos. The First Emperor was not a tyrant. After unifying the world, he loved the people like his own children. How could this be? And if it was true, such a big thing would not have gone unnoticed. And the First Emperor was such a bold person. If he really did this, there was no need for him to hide it."

Han Feng was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "So what do you think..."

Zhu Qingyang looked at the mural and analyzed, "I think the First Emperor just executed a few people he wanted to execute. It is not known who these people are, but it should be because executing them would have a significant impact on his reputation. So the First Emperor secretly sealed these people among the human servants and fired them together with other terracotta warriors. After this incident was recorded truthfully, the First Emperor was furious and ordered a revision, which resulted in the mural we just saw."

"Snap!" Zhu Qingyang said as he turned on the flashlight. Under the strong light, the fluorescent powder lost its effect, and the scene that everyone had just seen appeared again on the mural.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but gasp. It was hard to imagine how painful it would be for someone to be sealed alive in a human servant and burned to death at high temperatures.

But this is the power of the emperor. If he wants everyone in the world to die, who dares to disobey?

Many of the less courageous archaeologists were already breaking out in cold sweats at this point. The scene was too cruel just to think about.

Zhu Yingying frowned and thought: "Qin Shi Huang is the emperor. Can't he just issue an order to kill someone? Who is it that he needs to execute in secret or even hesitate? How many of the terracotta warriors have people hidden inside them?"

Zhu Yingying was just thinking about this, but what he said made Professor Zhang and others shudder.

If Zhu Qingyang hadn't reminded them, and if they had dug up these terracotta warriors, perhaps they would have been preserved as important cultural relics, and no one would have known that there were some servants and human corpses mixed in with them...

Following Zhu Yingying's words, Han Feng continued to think: "If this is the case, then finding these terracotta warriors is also very important for us. The stagnation of dead energy is often resentment, so it is very likely to cause damage to the dragon veins. If a large number of living people were sealed alive in the terracotta warriors, it would indeed cause stagnation of dead energy. But logically speaking, the dead energy of a group of dead people cannot affect the dragon veins... But no matter what, this is one of the clues we can grasp at present. Regardless of whether this clue is right or not, it is worth our focused investigation."

"That's right..." Zhu Qingyang agreed with this. "From the records on the murals, we have no idea how many people ended up like this, so finding the terracotta warriors and horses buried with them is also of utmost importance. Before we determine the real reason why the dragon vein was damaged, our only clue is the stagnant death energy. We must thoroughly investigate all possible reasons..."

Han Feng and his team's speculations made the archaeological team members feel cold behind their backs. They seemed to have seen the cruel and bloody scene. Such historical relics are really hard to calm down...

This tomb has an exit leading to an unknown place. After thoroughly searching the tomb and finding no useful clues, Han Feng decided to continue exploring in depth!

According to Han Feng's analysis, their current location should be outside the outer palace and they are heading towards the outer palace. This point was also recognized by Professor Zhang.

According to analysis, the entire ancient tomb is in the shape of an inverted hopper, which means that they need to gradually go deeper underground to reach the remaining three layers: the outer palace, the inner palace, and the underground palace at the bottom. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Shihuang's coffin should be located in the center of the underground palace.

After Professor Zhang ordered the archaeological team to carry out basic protection of the site, he immediately followed the 788 Exploration Team towards the next tomb passage.

Under such circumstances, they dared not separate from the 788 Exploration Team, otherwise they would be unable to move forward.
