I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

The pitch-black tomb passage is deep and unfathomable. Even with a powerful flashlight, it is impossible to penetrate the endless darkness.

Everyone was in a heavy mood. The only sounds echoing in the tomb passage were heavy breathing and footsteps.

Han Feng tightly grasped the compass and became extremely vigilant, fearing that they would encounter the magic set by the alchemist again and be trapped in this tomb passage.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual with the compass this time, and soon everyone saw the faint blue light of the Mermaid Candle again, flickering at the end of the tomb passage.

After experiencing a series of twists and turns, no one dared to relax at all. They gathered their strength and slowly walked out of the tomb passage.

However, when they walked out of the tomb, the scene before them shocked them.

The ground was covered with dense arrows, some of which were even broken. There were nearly thirty coffins placed in this hall, which looked like a burial hall for military officers.

But at this moment, these coffins were scattered on the ground, broken into pieces. Only a few remained intact, but the coffin lids had been broken.

The hall was in a complete mess, but no one knew what had happened here.

"These arrows are traps!" Professor Zhang discovered something was wrong, "but the traps seem to have been triggered."

He saw that the mechanical crossbows that were supposed to be hidden in the secret compartments of the tomb wall were now activated and exposed to the outside, but at this moment there was no movement.

Obviously, the mechanism had been activated before, which is why there were arrows all over the ground.

The reason why the mechanism is silent now is because all the arrows have been shot.

"What is going on? Has someone else been to this tomb?" Zhang Xiaoxian analyzed with a frown.

But Ah Jing shook her head: "No, if someone had entered earlier, it would be impossible that there would be no trace left beforehand. How could the mechanism we triggered earlier not be triggered if someone had entered earlier? Unless there is another passage, but this is obviously impossible."

Another archaeologist nodded in agreement: "I think so too. If someone had been ahead of us, this would be incredible. But it is indeed strange. What happened in this tomb?"

The members of the archaeological team looked at this strange tomb in confusion and discussed various possibilities.

Han Feng and the others remained silent. They tacitly passed through the arrow area and came to a coffin.

Then, they checked other coffins, and then they heard the discussion:

"It is true. It seems that things are getting more and more wrong..."

"But this situation doesn't match most of the factors of corpse transformation. What's going on?"

"The dead energy here is so dense that it is almost turning into corpse energy. The dragon vein energy has almost disappeared here!"

"How could an ordinary zombie emit such a strong death energy?"

The discussion among several people immediately attracted the attention of the archaeological team.

Led by Professor Zhang, they stepped over the arrows and broken coffins on the ground and came to Han Feng and others.

Soon, they saw a pitch-black coffin right in front of where Han Feng and others were standing, but the coffin was empty.

What is even more shocking is that there are obvious marks on the wall panels inside the coffin left by finger scratches!

Professor Zhang excitedly checked the other coffins, and found that the situation was exactly the same, they were all empty.

"Where are the bodies? Why are all the bodies gone?"

After all, Professor Zhang is a senior archaeological expert. He can tell at a glance which is a cenotaph without a corpse and which is a real coffin where a corpse was once buried.

As soon as he saw the coffins in front of him, he knew that there must have been corpses buried inside them before.

But why have all these bodies disappeared now? There are even various strange traces in the coffins?

"Professor Zhang..." Han Feng looked at Professor Zhang and said in a serious tone, "After walking here, we have found that this matter is very serious. Even we are a little confused about the current situation. But one thing is almost indisputable, that is, this tomb has become more dangerous! It is even beyond the understanding of our 788 Exploration Team."

After a pause, Han Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally explained: "According to the records of Baopuzi, there are a total of eighteen ways for corpses to transform, but we have ruled them out one by one. In the current situation, no way can achieve such a large-scale corpse transformation. There are as many as thirty coffins, and now they have become empty coffins. This situation can no longer be explained by corpse transformation. It is very likely a large-scale... corpse transformation..."

"Corpse?" Professor Zhang looked at Han Feng in surprise.

Although he was somewhat suspicious about the existence of corpse transformation, he was also very surprised by Han Feng's solemn attitude at this time, "Comrade Captain, what is the corpse transformation you are talking about?"

At this time, Zhu Qingyang's voice came solemnly.

He was always careless and rarely acted so serious at this moment. "Corpse transformation requires extremely special circumstances, because it can only be achieved by coincidence and external factors. After the transformation, the corpses are difficult to become stiff, but they are not impossible to deal with. The Maoshan School is the best example. The spell, peach wood sword, and three jars of fragrant rice can remove the evil spirits in the zombies. So although zombies are powerful, they can be dealt with anyway, and even high-level zombies have very low IQs and are not to be feared. But corpse transformation... although there is only a difference of one word, there is a world of difference! Simply put, these corpses are not transformed, but are forced to transform by a powerful force, becoming a higher existence than zombies..."

Zhu Qingyang scanned everyone one by one before slowly saying one word: "Puppet..."

"These corpses were forced to disintegrate by a powerful force and became corpse puppets. Although corpse puppets are strictly speaking a type of zombie, they are closer to a type of evil spirit because of their different methods of disintegration. What's more terrifying is that the corpse puppets are not the main point. The main point is that behind them, the one who causes the disintegration is often a more powerful existence..."

Professor Zhang and others were confused by what they heard, but all members of the 788 Exploration Team knew how serious the matter was.

During the devilish training week, Zhao Qi even described it in detail.

Corpse transformation is a special method and also a secret technique, which was later continued in Taoism.

"The interpretation of a husband's corpse is the transformation of form, the transformation of true nature, and the transformation of body!"

The transformation of the corpse is like a cicada leaving its skin for new bones, preserving its energy and solidifying its form in a cave, and then ascending to become a true immortal.

This is a method of becoming an immortal through alchemy, most of which involve being buried in a tomb, proving the truth through death, and being able to be included in the ranks of immortals after their corpse transforms into flesh!

But if this method is used on a rotten corpse, it will turn the corpse into a puppet and become a zombie general.

According to Han Feng's inference, the reason why the dragon vein was so severely damaged should be related to this large-scale corpse transformation.

The power of the dragon vein was used to give birth to corpse puppets. This is just a tomb hall, and no one knows how many more corpses have been transformed into puppets.

More importantly, if it were a group of corpse puppets, it would affect the dragon veins, but it would never be so serious, and it could even cause the dragon veins to disappear.

Therefore, there must be a more terrifying existence behind the corpse puppet!

Who caused all this, who devoured the power of the dragon vein and even made the dragon vein dying, this is the key!

Han Feng looked at the compass in his hand. The needle was spinning rapidly and couldn't stop at all.

"Something is wrong. This place is no longer just dead air..." Zhu Qingyang nodded solemnly, "Yes, this place is getting weirder and weirder..."

As if he noticed that Wen Wenbin was confused, Zhu Qingyang said slowly: "Where are the two willow leaves? Take them out..."

Amid the confusion of the archaeological team, Wen Wenbin took out two willow leaves from his pocket.

Zhu Qingyang took out the bottle of cow's tears again and poured a little on the willow leaves.

This time, Zhu Qingyang didn't need to teach him at all, Wen Wenbin skillfully used willow leaves to wipe his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Wen Wenbin's eyes widened.

They saw that the tomb they were in was filled with gray fog, which almost covered the entire tomb.

What’s even more bizarre is that there is a very strange green mist in this gray fog.

The two aerosols are incompatible, but they coexist in a very special way.

Zhu Qingyang's voice reached Wen Wenbin's ears: "The grey is death qi, and the green is corpse qi. Although there was plenty of death qi before, there was no corpse qi. It was not until we entered this hall that corpse qi began to appear. Do you remember what the chief said? Where there is corpse qi, there must be corpse transformation. Now that the corpse qi is so strong, I'm afraid it's not as simple as transformation, but corpse transformation into puppets! Once these death qi and corpse qi spread out, it will be enough to turn the entire XA city into a living hell!"

In the eyes of Professor Zhang and others, Zhu Qingyang seemed to be talking to the air very seriously, while Wen Wenbin seemed to have really seen something, his face was full of astonishment, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The members of the archaeological team were naturally very puzzled by this, but at this time 788 was as if facing a great enemy. He hurriedly passed through the tomb chamber and walked towards the innermost tomb hall, without giving them any chance to ask.

Professor Zhang and the others didn't know how to explain this, so they could only follow. At the same time, they could hear Han Feng's hurried voice:

"We must quickly find out what has occupied the power of the dragon veins, and what existence is using the dragon veins to transform into an immortal! We must also find out how many corpses have been transformed into puppets. These puppets have no ability to act independently, so there must be something controlling them. Only by finding the controller can we solve all this!"

Then, Zhu Yingying's voice came:

"Do you remember what the chief said before, what is the thing that can control a large number of puppets?"

Although no one answered, they already had a unanimous answer in their hearts.

"Ba, a being higher than generals and ministers, even beyond the scope of zombies. It only exists in myths and legends, and has never been seen in the human world. Neither a demon nor an immortal, Ba's existence is very special, nourished by death and corpse qi, and its strength is difficult to estimate. It is almost a corpse demon, transcending the six reincarnations, not tolerated by heaven and earth, but indestructible..."

Is it really "Ba"?

The members of the exploration team were not sure either.

Because this means that the seriousness of the matter has exceeded everyone's expectations and control.

At this time, no one spoke, but just moved forward silently.

In silence, they came to a nearby hall.

This hall looks very magnificent with its carved beams and painted buildings.

The furnishings in the hall show that a high-ranking civil servant was buried here.

The two halls are adjacent to each other, probably because the outer hall was originally the burial place of many military generals who could protect this civil official.

However, perhaps Qin Shi Huang himself did not expect that these generals would actually transform into puppets...

"It's so cold..."

After entering the hall, the temperature around seemed to drop suddenly. The members of the archaeological team shrank their necks and looked around strangely.

It was extremely cold in the hall, and the chill seemed to penetrate deep into one's flesh and blood.

There were willow leaves stuck to Wen Wenbin's eyelids, and he widened his eyes in surprise:

"How could this happen? This room is full of corpse qi?"

In Wen Wenbin's eyes, there was very little gray death energy in this hall. It was all green corpse energy, which almost filled the entire hall.

Han Feng frowned and walked towards the coffin, only to find that it was intact.

He turned around and saw bamboo slips and several brushes placed on the pure gold table in front of the coffin.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yingying said softly:

"It is said that the writing brush was invented by the great general Meng Tian. Since then, the era of ghostwriting has passed, and the Qin Dynasty began to use writing brushes."

Han Feng nodded, looked at the bamboo slips on the table and said:

"I know who is buried in this coffin. It is Zhao Gao, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty! On these bamboo slips are some of his historical records, but at the beginning of the bamboo slips it is written: 'Write this down, bury it after death, and do not let future generations know it!'"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang walked forward in surprise, picked up the bamboo slips and took a look. He saw that they were all written in Qin Xiaozhuan.

"This is too weird. Writing it down but not letting others see it, this is not..."

However, when he said this, Zhu Qingyang's voice suddenly stopped, perhaps because he saw something.

Then, he looked at Han Feng and the others in astonishment, then lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips again, and read with a trembling voice:

"When the Qin Dynasty was in danger, five immortals appeared. They could reverse the past and possessed the secret of immortality... To save the Qin Dynasty, the emperor personally went to pay his respects. As a result, he made a fruitless tour to the east, which became a lifelong regret... I don't know where the immortals came from, I only know their names, Five Four Three!"

Having said that, Zhu Qingyang suddenly raised his head and looked at the other members of the 788 Exploration Team.

Han Feng and the others also looked at each other, horror in everyone's eyes.

Professor Zhang and others were even more shocked. In Zhao Gao's record, 788 was mentioned again? From Zhu Qingyang's statement just now, the archaeological team members roughly understood the content of the bamboo slips.

The general meaning is: The Qin Dynasty once suffered a great disaster, and at the critical moment, an immortal suddenly appeared to help.

There are five immortals in total who have the power to reverse time and possess the secret of immortality.

To thank the immortal, the emperor personally paid his respects, but then the immortal left.

For this reason, the emperor's three eastern tours were fruitless, which became a lifelong regret.

What puzzled Professor Zhang and others the most was the last sentence: I don’t know where the immortals have returned to, I only know that they have a common name: Five Four Three…

Doesn’t this echo the records seen on the jade axis in the Xianfang Hall?

But this is too bizarre!
