Chapter 20 Chapter 19 The Mystery of Life Experience

Winter of 1984. Shaanxi, 40 kilometers northwest of Xi'an, Xingping, Maoling. Thirty-five meters underground, the lowest floor of the underground palace. Darkness, dead silence. "Hiccup la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La for a Two-Meter-Square Floor. After a while, it came out from another place, and then retracted... The drill bit was probed five times in total, leaving five drill holes on the floor tile, distributed in different places of the whole floor tile, forming a unique shape .

Soon, there was a heavy knocking sound from under the floor tiles, "Boom...boom...boom..." Suddenly, with a "click", the surface of the floor tile cracked along the five drill holes, and then there was a loud "crash", and the whole floor tile shattered from the middle, revealing a black lacquer. of the hole. A ray of light peeped up from the hole, and at the same time, the sound of someone's conversation came from the hole. "It's up there. Who's up first?" "I!" "I come!" "..." "Okay! Don't talk about it, Ren Guo, you should go first!"

There was another sighing sound, and a very flexible figure quickly turned up from the hole. After looking around with the light of the flashlight, it was adjusted into a diffuse light source, placed on the ground, and looked down. He got down and stretched his hands into the hole, and several other people were pulled up one by one. A total of five people came here, four men and one woman, four of whom were young people in their twenties and thirties, and one who looked a little older, with white hair and a silver beard, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with the appearance of a scholar, and spoke quite calmly .

"In two thousand and seventy-one years, two thousand and seventy-one springs, summers, autumns and winters, he was buried here forever, and now, we will be his first visitors." The white-haired scholar went up to the ground and couldn't help admiring With a sound, he said leisurely. "Professor, turn on the lighting now?" One of the young men asked softly. After the old man nodded, he took out a large special miner's lamp from his bag, stood it on the ground, and pressed the power switch. In an instant, the entire underground space All brighten up. "Wow..." Someone couldn't help but sighed, while the rest of them opened their mouths wide and couldn't say a word, because what they saw was far more shocking than what they had ever imagined.

This is the tomb at the bottom of the entire underground palace, and it is also the core tomb. It is the real resting place of the majestic mausoleum owner. Every emperor longs for immortality, because almost everything that can be obtained in the world is obtained, and there are still too many things that need to be enjoyed with a long enough life.But as a human being, lifespan is always limited, so some emperors frantically searched for the elixir of immortality, and some emperors built mausoleums for themselves that were almost the same size as they were in life, so that they could enjoy the same after death as before. Glory in the world.

The Lord of Maoling, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the man who created the prosperity of the ages more than 2,000 years ago, is no exception.He spent 53 years, more than half a century, building a temple for himself after death, which also copied everything he had during his lifetime. In this huge tomb that is 35 meters deep underground and 25 meters square, there are dotted with funerary objects that fully represent his preferences during his lifetime: nine bronze tripods, eighteen pure gold treasure chests, and thirty-six bronze headed guardians. The divine beasts are all around, and a blood jade horse in the middle poses a posture of riding the clouds and fog, as if galloping and soaring above the nine heavens.And behind the horse is a jade house, the jade house floats above the cloud platform, and the mist is shrouded under the cloud platform, which is both real and illusory, just like a fairyland.

"Professor, why didn't you see Huang Chang Ti Cou? What about Zi Gong?" asked the young man who came to his senses first. The professor also had an inconceivable expression on his face, because according to historical records and a large amount of information, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Zi Palace was constructed with five coffins and two outer coffins, and the entire core tomb was far from as large as it is now. The first will be the four Xianmen, and then the toilets and yellow intestines will fill the entire tomb. But the current tomb has completely exceeded their expectations. It is completely different from other Han tombs unearthed before. It even overturns all historical records about the emperor's tomb, and it also exceeds the concept of architectural structure in the Han Dynasty. This exists underground. The huge tomb of 35 meters is a miracle in itself, because there is a 46.5-meter-high sealed mound above the ground. How does this tomb bear weight?No one can explain it.

Without explanation, there is only wonder. But what happened after that can no longer be expressed in amazement. When they realized that the jade house was the real coffin on the misty cloud platform in the middle, everyone surrounded it tremblingly, but no one dared to take a step forward, because the strange mist was still rising, The existence of this mist alone is incredible. How did it form?Why do they continue to pop up here after more than two thousand years?is it poisonousNo one knows, no one dares to try. The professor looked at it for a while, but couldn't see anything, because the strange mist was beyond his knowledge, so he could only take out a jade cicada from his canvas bag. The poison of the object, once poisonous, the color of the jade cicada will change from yellow to green. He winked at the person next to him, and a young man handed him a pair of slender pliers, and the professor clamped the jade cicada on the tongs , Stretching leisurely into the mist.

There is no change, no change from yellow to green, Yuchan is still the same, but immediately covered with a layer of white mist by the mist, the professor took it back and looked at it carefully, then stretched out his hand to the mist, but he didn't expect it to be covered in white mist immediately. When he was dragged back by someone next to him, the professor immediately became a little displeased, and said coldly: "Ren Guo, what are you teasing me for? If the jade cicada hasn't changed color, it means it's not poisonous." "Professor, according to Yuchan's test, the mist is indeed non-toxic. But I always feel that there is still a problem. Think about it, how could Liu Che not set up some protection in such an important place? And look, the entire tomb There is no mechanism inside, and there is nothing weird about the funerary objects. Only the mist, which has lasted for thousands of years, surrounds this pure jade coffin. If he wants to set up a mechanism somewhere, it can only be outside the jade house. , so there must be something strange about this fog."

This year, Lao Shi was 34 years old. After joining this mysterious archaeological organization formed by the former supreme leader for several years, his qualifications and abilities have already impressed the professor, and the professor had to listen to what he said, so the professor stopped. Get started and ask him what he's going to do. Lao Shi bent down and began to carefully inspect the junction of the jade platform and the floor tiles, and found a palm-width gap from which the mist gushed out. He tore off the military kettle from his waist and shook it. There was water, and then pulled the belt, pushed the kettle into the gap little by little, and took it out again after a while, the kettle was also covered with a layer of white mist, Lao Shi did not directly hold the kettle with his hands, but After wrapping several layers of cotton cloth around his hands, he picked up the kettle and shook it again. Now there was no sound of water sloshing in it. Several people looked at each other and didn't know what was going on.

"It's frozen!" Lao Shi said, he unscrewed the lid of the pot, smashed it hard on the ground a few times, and shattered ice popped out of it. "Damn it, can it be frozen like this in just a short while? What's under here? A freezer?" asked a big young man next to him. "No matter what is below, the temperature of this mist is obviously extremely low, and it will freeze the water in an instant. Fortunately, we did not touch this mist rashly, or something will definitely happen." Another thin and tall young man continued. He said a few words, but immediately realized that he should not speak, and glanced at the professor apprehensively. "Okay, since this is the case, then let's block the bottom gap, and block the one in front of the door. Let's do it!" After the professor finished speaking, he began to direct a few young people, carefully using stone slabs and cloth strips. The gap in front of the jade house was blocked, but the direction of the mist was really hard to control. One team member injured his finger, turned pale and lost consciousness in an instant. It seemed that all the bones and muscle cells inside had been necrotic. I don't know if I can be cured when I go back. But there is nothing to worry about in front of him. The door of the jade house has been exposed from the mist. Everyone tightened their cotton clothes, and wrapped several layers of cotton cloth on the cotton gloves. The professor looked at everyone and finally decided to let the team The only lesbian goes in first. The lesbian's name is Huang Lin, 26 years old, and she is the youngest member of this mysterious archaeological team, but she has extremely high attainments in history and linguistics, and has done a lot of research on the history of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. She is also one of the top figures in the field of ancient characters such as oracle bone inscriptions and cuneiform characters. She is basically responsible for the large amount of data and text deciphering work required in their archaeological operations. Huang Lin walked to the door of the jade house. This door was also carved from pure jade. The dragon-shaped decoration on it was lifelike. On the handle of the door were two dragon claws, which were tightly held together. She was wearing gloves wrapped in thick cotton cloth. She touched the dragon's claw, but the door didn't move at all, as if the two dragon's claws were stuck together. Now she had no choice but to look back at the professor, hoping for advice. The professor didn't know why, and was about to go up to check it out for himself, when he heard Lao Shi saying, "Try the two longan eyes in the middle of the door." It was only then that Huang Lin noticed that the dragon's head in the middle of Yumen was facing the crowd, with a pair of long eyes protruding, fierce and fierce.She touched the eyeballs, and then pressed the two eyeballs down at the same time, when she heard a "click", the dragon claws loosened accordingly, and Yumen retracted to the side automatically. The gold box in the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also recorded in the history books. The things inside may surprise ordinary people. It is not jewelry, but a large number of documents, books, etc., because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has three major preferences : Reading, hunting, beauty.The funerary objects in his tomb are also mainly added around these three preferences. It took him 53 years to continuously increase the burial objects in his tomb. We can't imagine how many treasures he has collected from all over the country and outside the fan... Therefore, the pure gold treasure chest built with the highest technology in the country may have never been seen by ordinary people at that time, but to such an emperor through the ages, it is nothing more than a container. This ingenious sliding door and automatic switch design was hardly seen in China in the 1980s, but it appeared in the tombs of emperors more than 2,000 years ago, which is really amazing. The wisdom of the ancients is beyond our control imagine. Huang Lin walked into Yumen trembling. In fact, the trembling was not entirely due to excitement, but because it was so cold in the Yuwu, it was so cold that people's teeth were chattering, and it was hard to speak. There is no treasure in the jade house, just a jade bed, as white as snow, crystal clear.On the jade bed seemed to be a coffin carved from a whole piece of natural crystal, because the lines on it were quite complicated, like carved glass, and it was impossible to see the situation inside clearly, but she knew that the crystal coffin was lying in a coffin. It was Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huang Lin didn't dare to touch the crystal coffin, so she waved her hands out. After the professor understood, she gave Lao Shi a look, and the two followed. The three of them were a little dazed, because the situation was so weird. There was only one floor in the coffin, which was the jade room outside, and it was directly a coffin inside. What was even more weird was that the coffin was not a high-grade wooden coffin or a coffin they had imagined. The golden coffin is actually a crystal coffin. Where did Emperor Wu of Han find and carve such a large piece of crystal?Moreover, the temperature inside the jade house was so low that even though they were wearing thick cotton coats, they felt extremely cold all over their bodies. Lao Shi took a magnifying glass and looked closely at the crystal coffin for a while, and suddenly a concept popped up in his mind: cryonics! Regarding cryonics, he heard about it from an agent not long ago, and he also checked some relevant information, saying that the United States is researching this technology, and this research started as early as 1967. Due to some reasons of national policy at that time, coupled with the blockade of news, the country did not have any concept of this aspect, so it was not easy for Lao Shi to obtain these materials.Judging from the only information he has, this technology is far from mature enough, because during the freezing process, although metabolism stops, ice crystals will form in human cells, which will destroy human tissues and lead to direct death of people. Although the current technology is immature, it still makes sense in theory. Just like frogs hibernate, in the low-temperature winter, the life activities of frogs drop to the lowest point, and the metabolism is slow. They can sleep like that for a whole winter without eating or drinking. However, when the temperature rises in spring and the flowers bloom, the frogs will automatically recover. This is an existing phenomenon in nature, so can humans also realize this situation?Lower the temperature of the human body to a certain level, save his life, and resurrect him when the technology is mature enough in the future? It's entirely possible. But now, feeling the extremely low temperature in the jade house, and looking at the crystal coffin, Lao Shi couldn't help but have such speculations in his head: Could it be that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not dead yet?This design is actually saving his life? Lao Shi told the professor his thoughts, the professor adjusted his glasses, and said that he would know when he opened the crystal coffin, but even if his life was not saved, under such low temperature conditions, the body would definitely not rot, so we saw It will be the real face of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. What does the greatest emperor in Chinese history look like? Is he really as wide and fat as recorded in historical materials, at 1.88 meters tall?When the coffin was opened, all became clear. "However, this crystal coffin seems to be in one piece without a lid. How can I open it?" Huang Lin looked around the coffin, and found that the joints where the coffin lid should have been were tightly seamed, and there was no sign of splicing at all. The most exciting moment got her stuck at this last hurdle. Although Huang Lin was stuck, the professor couldn't get stuck. He bent down, inspected the bottom of the coffin, nodded after looking at it for a while, and said, "It really is like this..." "Professor, what really happened?" Huang Lin asked. The professor didn't answer, but called Lao Shi and said, "Come on, you lift that head, I'll lift this head, and lift up this coffin lid." Lao Shi nodded, and lifted the entire "crystal coffin" together with the professor. Only then did Huang Lin realize that the coffin was an upside-down design, and the whole crystal was actually the coffin lid. bottom. The lid of the coffin was opened, but the scene after opening completely stunned the three people present, because they saw the most unimaginable thing: The person lying on the jade bed was not wearing a gold-threaded jade dress, but was completely naked, without any clothes on; The person lying on the jade bed is not a big man of 1.88 meters, but a little guy less than half a meter; The person lying on the jade bed was not a burly man with thick eyebrows and beard, but a baby girl with delicate features! All three of them rubbed their eyes involuntarily. After confirming that they were not dazzled, Lao Shi, who was the first to react, finally said, "Liu Che has found a way to rejuvenate himself?" Huang Lin immediately interjected: "I think he seems to have found a way to change his gender..." "This is impossible...how could it be like this in his coffin? How is this possible...absolutely impossible..." The professor still seemed unable to accept the facts he saw with his own eyes, and kept muttering, watching Looking at the pure and innocent baby girl in front of her, she couldn't believe it anyway. "Professor, could it be that Liu Che was transferred during his burial?" Lao Shi asked from the side. "Switching? Well...it's not impossible...but it's really daring to switch Liu Che. Who did it? And the identity of this baby girl?... "The professor seemed lost in thought. Lao Shi lay on top of the baby girl and watched carefully for a while, and said: "Look at this girl's face, she is quite ruddy, and she looks very healthy, she doesn't look like she was put into this coffin after death. It's so weird... who the hell is it?" "Professor, here is a box." Huang Lin didn't look at the baby girl again, but noticed a delicate box in the corner of the coffin, and picked it up casually. "Don't open it!" When Lao Shi heard Huang Lin say this, he hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it was too late, the box had already been opened, and Huang Lin was holding something in his hand, looking straight at the two of them. "Xiao Huang, what's wrong with you? What's that thing in your hand? Put it down quickly!" The professor first saw that Huang Lin's expression was wrong, got up and wanted to take a picture of the thing in her hand, but the pat failed, Huang Lin quickly dodged away, and immediately picked up the thing and slapped it on the professor's head. Lao Shi was seeing it, and rushed forward to grab Huang Lin's arm. You must know that Lao Shi is already very skilled at this time, his speed is extremely fast, and Huang Lin is only an expert in history and linguistics, and does not know much about martial arts at all. Lao Shiman thought that he could easily grasp her delicate body arm. But something unexpected happened. Huang Lin turned her body slightly, avoiding Lao Shi's capture, as if she was a completely different person. The arm holding the thing hit the professor from the side at a faster speed. Lao Shi yelled badly, but this time it was really too late, the thing smashed straight into the head of the white-haired old man, Lao Shi could only watch this scene helplessly. After the thing smashed into the professor's head, it turned from pale to blood-red in an instant, and the wound where the professor was thrown didn't flow out a drop of blood, it seemed that it was all sucked in by the thing? ! After being stunned for a second, Lao Shi made another move, and finally opened Huang Lin's arm with a slap, and the thing was also sent flying, landing right on the belly of the baby girl on the jade bed. "Professor! Professor! Wake up! Wake up!" Lao Shi didn't care about anything at this time, he helped the fallen professor to check his wound, but he found that there was a black hole in his temple, and everything was broken. No, and the professor had already closed his eyes, no matter how he called, he didn't respond. "What's wrong? What's wrong with me? What happened just now? Ah! Professor..." Huang Lin just came back to her senses at this time. She seemed to have no awareness of what just happened. When she woke up, she saw Lao Shi hugged the professor and kept shouting, but the professor didn't move. She was terrified, squatted down at a loss, and started crying too. And at this moment, an unusually loud cry of a baby came from the jade bed.
