Chapter 627
The Beautiful Woman
Chen Ze did not urge her.
After she had searched the tomb thoroughly and found no clues, she asked in a low voice, "Besides you and your grandmother, are there any other living creatures in this tomb?"
Tian Siyao shook her head.
"What did you mean when you said this tomb was full of corpses?"
"These are some of my grandfather's remains, and..."
At this point, Tian Siyao paused before saying, "And Lan Ju was a foreigner; they've all been dead for many years."
Chen Ze frowned.
The foreigners' bodies were already so decomposed that they were unrecognizable.
The corpses in the tomb were all well-preserved and their bodies were no different from those of ordinary people.
Judging from this, the tomb owner must have put a lot of effort into building the tomb.
In any case, there's definitely something fishy about this tomb.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and searched for the layout of the tomb chamber according to his memory. Sure enough, he found the way out and led Tian Siyao out of the tomb chamber.
After leaving the tomb, the two headed straight for the tunnel leading to the depths of the underground palace.
As a chilly wind blew through the tunnel, Chen Ze couldn't help but ask as he ran, "Where does this tunnel lead?"
"I am not sure as well."
Tian Siyao shook her head, her heart pounding in her chest.
If there are ghosts here, especially those wicked ghosts that devour people without spitting out their bones, then they are probably in danger tonight.
Before long, Chen Ze pulled Tian Siyao into the end of the tunnel. "There's a door here. I guess there should be an exit inside."
"Mmm." Tian Siyao responded softly, nervously gripping Chen Ze's sleeve.
Chen Ze glanced at her and saw the flashlight in her hand. He blurted out, "Why don't you go first?"
Tian Siyao shook her head. "You were just injured. If you encounter danger, you probably won't even be able to take care of yourself. So you should go first."
After saying that, Tian Siyao took the lead and stepped into the iron gate.
Because it was pitch black inside, she instinctively closed her eyes the moment she went in.
After she got used to the environment inside, she opened her eyes and looked around.
However.…….
Apart from her and Chen Ze, they didn't find anything else. She immediately said to Chen Ze, "There's nothing here. Maybe we've wandered into the wrong place!"
"No reason!"
Chen Ze muttered something in confusion, then suggested, "I'll carry you on my back."
Tian Siyao quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to carry me, I'm fine."
As she spoke, she groped her way to the lantern on her left front and tiptoed over.
As Tian Siyao approached, she discovered something that shocked her: "That...that lantern..."
Chen Ze followed the sound and approached, and when he saw the character 'Qin' written on the lantern, he was also astonished.
He remembered that the tomb's owner was a man surnamed Qin.
Why was the name on the lantern changed to Qin Shi?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Tian Siyao abruptly snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "Little Maruko, explain to me how this place has turned into the Qin family's mausoleum?"
"Silly master, calm down!" Maruko hurriedly replied, then asked, "Master, doesn't this place seem strangely familiar?"
"Yes, it feels like I've been here before."
"That's right, you idiot master, you must have been here before. This tomb is fake!"
"Fake? Are you sure?"
"uh-huh!"
Maruko raised the pitch of her voice with a touch of arrogance.
Tian Siyao fell silent.
If this tomb is fake.
Then
Could her grandparents be in here too? Suddenly, Chen Ze exclaimed, "Oh no!" Tian Siyao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
After asking the question, before Chen Ze could reply, she saw the stone tablet on the ground beside him. The tablet was inscribed with four powerful Han Dynasty characters: "Tomb of Tang Yin".
It looks very majestic and imposing.
The patterns carved on the stone tablet are so lifelike that they seem to be alive.
She immediately murmured in surprise and doubt, "My grandfather's surname is Tang... his name is Tang Yin... Qin Shi... Qin Shi..."
As she was reading, Tian Siyao suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze was startled. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Brother Chen, don't you think the inscription on that stone tablet looks remarkably like the name of King Ying Zheng of Qin as recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian?
"how could I know!"
"That.….."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Tian Siyao suddenly walked around from behind Chen Ze to the front of him, stared at the line of elegant seal script on the stone tablet, and then leaned closer to examine it carefully. Finally, she sighed in disappointment, "This handwriting is exactly the same as the characters I saw in the emperor's tomb. It seems that this is indeed the emperor's tomb."
Chen Ze raised an eyebrow.
So, in other words...
Was her grandparents also in the emperor's tomb?
This thought inexplicably excited him.
Although his family members have all passed away for many years, he still believes that the group of elderly people are still alive in this world!
Because there are those elderly people there...
His parents left only after they felt relieved.
"Huh..."
Just as she was lost in thought, Tian Siyao suddenly exclaimed, "There's a mural over there! Come and take a look, isn't it that mural from the Qin Dynasty?"
Chen Ze immediately put aside his chaotic thoughts and walked in the direction she pointed. "I'm not sure if it's the mural from the Qin Dynasty, but the woman in it is someone I know. Her name is Qin Yu!"
Tian Siyao quickly went over to take a look.
The mural depicts a beautiful woman, standing dignified and elegant, with a happy smile on her face.
Chen Ze gazed at the mural, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
She looks adorable when she smiles.
She makes you want to hold her in your arms and pamper her.
"This is Qin Yu depicted on the painting; we must have found the right person."
"Ah."
Nodding gently, Tian Siyao looked at the mural on the wall again, then looked around at other places, but found no further clues.
Just then, Chen Ze's hand touched the corner of the wall. "Huh... this floor is so hard, and quite thick too!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao reached out and touched the ground.
It feels solid to the touch, even more solid than ordinary bricks.
Not only that, there was also a chill in the air.
It looks like someone has covered the floor with ice.
"Could there be an ice cellar in here?" Chen Ze turned around after speaking and saw Tian Siyao still studying the mural, so he said to her, "Since this place is a tomb, let's continue to look inside."
Nodding in agreement, Tian Siyao glanced at the mural again before stepping inside.
Chen Ze followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind.
After about half an incense stick's time, the two bypassed the front hall and entered another tunnel.
The tunnel is very spacious.
It is wide enough to allow seven or eight vehicles to pass at the same time.
However, there was no firelight inside the tunnel, making it appear very dark.
And every few meters, you can see a candle.
All the candles went out.
Only the candles in the very front row were still lit.
Tian Siyao frowned and muttered, "It's strange that there are only six oil lamps in such a large space."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ze had already walked to an oil lamp, squatted down, and began to examine it. (End of Chapter)
