Chapter 189 The Qin Palace Appears
"That's right, Zhang Chulan. That's the legendary Qin Palace." The Queen's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate the mists of time and reach the deepest parts of the human heart. "It's said that it houses rare treasures from all six kingdoms. It was built specifically by Qin Shi Huang to demonstrate his achievements and power."
Zhang Chulan was thrilled upon hearing this. He had long heard of the legend of the Qin Palace, and had imagined countless times in his dreams the sight of it overflowing with gold, silver, and jewels. Now, he had the privilege of seeing this legendary palace in person. How could he not be thrilled?
"Really? Your Majesty, can we really enter that palace and see those treasures with our own eyes?" Zhang Chulan's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.
The queen smiled, a smile that contained both encouragement for Zhang Chulan and a hint of worry about the unknown dangers. "Yes, Zhang Chulan, but you must remember that obtaining those treasures is not easy. It is said that the palace is full of traps, and the slightest mistake can result in death."
Zhang Chulan's heart trembled upon hearing this. He knew that while he had some skills, they were far from enough to face such danger. He looked at the queen, hoping she could offer some advice or help. However, the queen simply shook her head.
"There's nothing I can do, Zhang Chulan. This palace has been submerged for thousands of years, and no one knows what's inside. We can only rely on our own luck and strength to get in." The queen's tone was firm and resolute, as if she was telling Zhang Chulan that this was a choice from which there was no turning back.
Zhang Chulan took a deep breath and nodded. He knew this was their only chance. He turned and looked at the people behind him. Zhuge Qing, Zhang Lingyu, and the others were standing at the bow, their eyes fixed on the palace, their eyes also gleaming with anticipation.
At this moment, Qu Yin suddenly appeared in front of everyone and said calmly: "My mission has been completed. Now it's up to you all."
The queen nodded in agreement. She and her nine guards leaped up the palace steps and began their treasure hunt. Zhang Chulan and the others followed closely behind, embarking on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers.
Passing through the gates of the Qin Palace, everyone was deeply struck by the scene before them. The palace stood majestically, resplendent and magnificent, each detail revealing a breathtaking display of craftsmanship. The exquisite carvings and ornate decorations seemed to speak of the glory and dominance of Qin Shi Huang.
Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh: "If this technology could be passed down to this day, the Central Plains would be full of world wonders." His voice was full of emotion for the importance of exquisite skills and inheritance.
The queen led the crowd forward until they arrived at a seemingly ordinary square. However, the moment they stepped onto the square, they were surprised to discover that the tiles beneath their feet were made of gold. The gold tiles shone brightly in the sunlight, emitting an alluring glow.
Zhang Chulan squatted down, stroking the gold brick, his eyes gleaming with shock. "This... could this be the material that Qin Shi Huang used to gather all the gold, silver, and jewelry from around the world to forge the Twelve Golden Men?" His voice was filled with disbelief and wonder.
Everyone was amazed when they heard this. They imagined the glory and dominance of Qin Shi Huang and lamented the vicissitudes and changes of history.
This golden brick square seems to be a witness to the glorious years of Qin Shihuang.
After crossing the square, everyone arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Inside the palace, a dazzling array of treasures abounds, including bronze, jade, gold, and silver artifacts from the six kingdoms, each one a priceless treasure.
Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing were dazzled by the sight, unable to stop exclaiming in admiration. "These treasures are truly beautiful! Each one seems to have a life of its own, telling its own story." Zhang Chulan's voice was filled with admiration and awe for the beauty.
"Yes, these treasures not only represent the culture and craftsmanship of the six kingdoms, but also bear witness to the unification and glory of Qin Shi Huang," Zhuge Qing added. His eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if he were using his wisdom to interpret the stories behind these treasures.
The queen led the others deeper into the palace, exploring this ancient and mysterious building. They walked through the corridors and halls, and every step seemed to be traveling through time and space, returning to that glorious and domineering era.
When they reached the depths of the palace, a huge mechanism suddenly activated. A flash of light passed by, and everyone's vision went dark, as if they were sucked into an endless vortex.
When the light came on again, they found themselves in an unfamiliar space.
This space is full of mystery and strangeness, as if it is a forgotten world. They searched for a way out, but found themselves in trouble.
At this moment, Li Qiankun suddenly stood up. "The opening of the Heavenly Pavilion is related to me. I must find it." His voice was firm and resolute, as if telling everyone that this was his responsibility.
Seeing this, Baoer immediately grabbed Li Qiankun's arm. "Where are you going? I want to follow you!" Her voice was filled with stubbornness and determination, as if to tell Li Qiankun that she would not let him face danger alone.
Li Qiankun smiled helplessly and patted her hand gently. "Okay, then just follow me." His tone was full of doting and helplessness towards Baoer.
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan and others also expressed their desire to follow Li Qiankun.
In the deep palace, the light of precious treasures shone brightly, like stars dotting the depths of the night. However, Li Qiankun turned a blind eye to these dazzling treasures, only glancing at them calmly before continuing his pace forward.
The Queen and others followed closely behind Li Qiankun. They knew that Li Qiankun was no ordinary person and his goal could not be satisfied by these superficial treasures.
The queen's eyes flashed with curiosity and awe. She whispered to the maid beside her, "Look, every step Li Qiankun takes is full of determination. His goal is obviously deeper."
The maid nodded in agreement, her eyes following Li Qiankun's back, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation about the unknown.
After passing through the corridor of the palace, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up and a unique sacred road appeared before them.
This sacred road is completely different from the luxurious style inside the palace. It is simple and solemn, as if it came from another time and space, carrying an indescribable majesty and mystery.
On both sides of the sacred path, there are stone statues of various shapes.
These stone statues were lifelike, as if they would come alive at any moment. Some were majestic, some were kind, and some were ferocious, each revealing a different aura and story. The queen stopped and stared at these stone statues, a strong sense of speculation welling up in her heart.
"Xu Fu, could he have used this sacred road to build his own mausoleum?" The queen's voice was filled with speculation and uncertainty. Her eyes swept across everyone's faces, hoping to find resonance and an answer.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this; they had never considered such a possibility. Zhang Chulan's eyes widened. He couldn't imagine that if the queen's guess was true, then they were standing at the entrance to an ancient and mysterious mausoleum.
"This...how is this possible?" Zhang Chulan's voice trembled slightly, and he could hardly suppress his inner shock and curiosity.
Zhuge Qing appeared calmer. He carefully surveyed the surrounding stone statues, trying to find some clue. "Your Majesty, what you say is quite reasonable. The arrangement and specifications of these stone statues are indeed consistent with the specifications of an imperial mausoleum. Furthermore, were the bodies of those boys and girls we saw earlier all murdered by Xu Fu in order to build the mausoleum?"
Zhuge Qing's words made everyone's heart tighten. They began to realize that this speculation was not groundless. If Xu Fu really built a mausoleum here, then their current situation would become extremely dangerous.
Xiaohong suddenly grabbed Quyin's sleeve, her voice tinged with worry and uneasiness. "Sister Quyin, have you found the location of the ship? Are we really drifting towards Guixu?"
Qu Yin paused upon hearing this, her brow furrowed, a determined glint in her eyes. "Don't worry, Xiaohong. I'm trying my best to calculate the ship's position. But this sacred road seems to have some mysterious power that's interfering with my calculations. But don't worry, I'll definitely find a way out."
Xiaohong nodded. Although she was still a little worried, she chose to trust Quyin. She knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only unity could overcome all difficulties.
However, Qu Yin's words made everyone even more nervous. They knew that if the ship was really drifting towards Guixu, then they had to find a way out as soon as possible to avoid tragedy.
At this moment, Qu Yin suddenly spoke. "Actually, I'm using a special formation to calculate the ship's position. This formation is a secret technique passed down in my family, and it can penetrate the mysteries of heaven and earth. However, it's extremely complex and dangerous. The slightest mistake could lead to irretrievable destruction."
Zhang Chulan heard this and said anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for? Open it quickly! As long as we can find a way out, we are not afraid of anything!"
Qu Yin shook her head, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, trying to find some support and understanding. "I know everyone is anxious, but this formation is truly dangerous. Forcing it open could lead to unpredictable consequences. We must proceed with caution."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. They knew Qu Yin was right. However, facing the unknown fear and danger, it was really difficult for them to make a decision.
At this moment, Li Qiankun suddenly spoke up. "Qu Yin is right. We can't act blindly. However, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to open the formation without causing any danger."
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky, directly hitting the black crack. The crack gradually shrank under the light, and finally disappeared completely into thin air.
A mysterious power is slowly awakened.
