Chapter 839 -839: Xu Fu

Upon hearing that Huang Xiaolong was going to explore Emperor Qin’s mausoleum next, Ma Chuxia’s mood immediately surged with excitement!

You must know, Emperor Qin’s mausoleum is the greatest underground tomb in the world, bar none!

It is also one of Huaxia’s famous mysterious areas!

What about Egypt’s pyramids, what about the ancient Inca civilization, compared to Emperor Qin’s mausoleum, they probably don’t amount to much!

Moreover, it is said that during the Qin Dynasty, it was the most prosperous period for magicians and sorcerers!

However, for Huang Xiaolong, what he valued most in his heart was the black dagger buried in Emperor Qin’s mausoleum!

Huang Xiaolong knew that the secrets contained in these black daggers far exceeded the secrets of Emperor Qin’s mausoleum itself, incomparable!

Binhai City God Temple!

The main hall of the City God!

Ying Kexin had long known that Huang Xiaolong was coming to inquire about the black dagger and had been waiting all along. At this moment, she had already brewed some fragrant tea, attentively serving both Huang Xiaolong and Ma Chuxia.

Ma Chuxia was also basking in Huang Xiaolong’s glory, being served by a Ghost King left her somewhat flattered, not to mention, Ying Kexin, this Ghost King, would possibly become a Ghost Immortal in the coming days!

“Ying Kexin, do you still remember the exact location of the black dagger you saw in Emperor Qin’s mausoleum?” Huang Xiaolong asked straightforwardly.

“My lord, it seems that there is more than one black dagger, each containing astounding secrets, but even the king himself did not know at the time. I’m afraid, even he himself had never seen that black dagger meant to be a funerary item.” Ying Kexin sighed.

“Hmm~~” Ma Chuxia nodded her head. “Yes, back then, Emperor Qin made a big loop over the territory he ruled and unfortunately passed away during an inspection tour, naturally, he had no chance to inventory the items buried with him in the tomb.”

At this point, Ying Kexin’s face was filled with difficulty. “My lord, I’m sorry, but what I know about the great king’s mausoleum is quite limited. Because the underground imperial city is boundless, with countless chambers, and the small portion that has been excavated in modern times is just the periphery of the entire tomb’s periphery. Moreover, how many secret entrances and exits there are in the underground imperial city, no one can know them all. Even I, Great Qin’s premier swordsman, only know a few. At that time, the craftsmen who built it were absolutely forbidden from communicating with each other. The same was true for the overseers among themselves and between the overseers and craftsmen. Violators would have their entire clans punished!”

After a pause, Ying Kexin continued. “The funerary items are countless! Inexhaustible! Take the ‘terracotta warriors’ for example, they are the result of more than twenty years of effort by all the potters in the world, with human and horse figurines numbering in the tens of millions, no, more accurately, innumerable, beyond count. Initially, I was focused on the Sword Dao and had but a passing acquaintance with that black dagger, and afterwards, I did not know which chamber the black dagger was placed in for burial…”

After a conversation, the clues Ying Kexin could provide were indeed very limited.

And for Huang Xiaolong, going into the underworld to find the souls of the craftsmen and overseers who originally built Emperor Qin’s mausoleum to question them one by one was an incredibly difficult task. Besides, the souls of those craftsmen and overseers may not know more than Ying Kexin!

“Little Long, it seems that this matter is quite thorny. To exaggerate a bit, trying to find that funerary black dagger in Emperor Qin’s mausoleum is like looking for a needle in the ocean!” Ma Chuxia said with furrowed brows.

“Hahaha~~~ No matter how difficult things in the world may be, they can’t defeat me,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Besides, I have two black daggers in my hand. If I am within a certain range of the accompanying black dagger in the Emperor Qin’s tomb, it can produce a response! All in all, I will definitely go to Shaanxi Province, enter Emperor Qin’s tomb, and get the third black dagger!”

“Little Long~~ you must bring me with you,” Ma Chuxia said, clenching her fists with enthusiasm.

At that moment, Ying Kexin watched Huang Xiaolong with a strange look in her eyes, hesitating to speak.

Huang Xiaolong smiled and said, “Ying Kexin, I understand your concerns. Don’t worry, this time I’m going to find the third black dagger, not to rob the tomb, and certainly not to cause significant damage to Emperor Qin’s tomb. I’m a person of principle.”

Hearing Huang Xiaolong say this, Ying Kexin finally breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, “A monarch doesn’t joke.” Huang Xiaolong is the Yin Emperor, ruling the world; his words are as heavy as nine cauldrons.

“Milord, you must also be very careful when you explore Emperor Qin’s tomb. The underground imperial city has endless twisting passages. Once inside, it seems endless, and one will surely get lost. Heavy stone doors must be opened with specific methods, and the procedures are exceedingly complicated. Even the slightest mistake can trigger longbows and spears, thousands of arrows piercing the heart… All these weapons are tainted with the deadliest poisons in the world, a touch means certain death. Moreover, there are various traps created by Qin magicians within the underground imperial city, which are unpredictable.”

“Traps made by magicians?” Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly.

Others might not be aware, but Huang Xiaolong knew very well that before the burning of books and burying of scholars, magicians and alchemists flourished in the Qin Dynasty, reaching incredible heights. Various spells were almost beyond belief. However, these earth-shattering spells and alchemy techniques almost disappeared over time.

It could be said that some of the top magicians from the Qin Dynasty, if they brought their great spells to modern society, would be akin to the existence of nuclear bombs! With just a thought, they could move mountains and fill the seas!

With this thought in mind, Huang Xiaolong smiled at Ma Chuxia. “Little wife, in Emperor Qin’s tomb, there must be lost alchemy techniques and spells. Once we retrieve them, you can practice them to your heart’s content.”

“Yeah~~ Little Long! That’s fantastic! That’s absolutely marvelous!” Ma Chuxia, usually composed, burst into excitement, hugging Huang Xiaolong tightly and planting a fierce kiss on him.

“Ying Kexin, continue to hold the fort in Binhai. You don’t need to involve yourself in the exploration of Emperor Qin’s tomb. Now, I’ll use our psychic link to access your memories about Emperor Qin’s tomb,” Huang Xiaolong said.

“Yes, Milord,” Ying Kexin complied.

Immediately, Huang Xiaolong drew a blood lotus flower and used it to establish a psychic link with Ying Kexin, extracting memories related to Emperor Qin’s tomb from her mind.

Confidential information that scholars of the current age couldn’t deduce throughout their entire lives flowed into Huang Xiaolong’s mind like a gentle stream.

Huang Xiaolong took Ma Chuxia back to Wo Long Villa.

With a long journey ahead, Huang Xiaolong gathered all his wives together for a farewell party.

Huang Xiaolong did not hide anything from his wives, spilling the beans about his intentions to explore Emperor Qin’s tomb.

Upon hearing this, the wives were all utterly shocked.

Emperor Qin’s tomb, that was the grand project that took several decades to complete by the first emperor of Huaxia! There was no second project of the same caliber in the entire world!

However, Huang Xiaolong made it clear that there were certain risks involved in this operation, and only Ma Chuxia, Xia Ying, Feng Hanyan, Ying Aoshan, and Yan Pianpian—five individuals of exceptional strength—were allowed to go.

All other wives were strictly forbidden to go and had to stay put in Binhai.

Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi had thought this would be a great opportunity for a live broadcast, but they were outright rejected by Huang Xiaolong.

“Eh~~~” At this moment, the mixed-race beauty Shirley Bai exclaimed with twinkling fascination in her eyes, “I want to go too! I must go!”

Including Huang Xiaolong, everyone’s gaze turned towards Shirley Bai.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Shirley Bai smiled sweetly at Huang Xiaolong. “Master, I can take care of your daily needs along the way… Besides, I’ve done very… very extensive research into the history of the Qin Dynasty of Huaxia.”

“You’ve studied the history of the Qin Dynasty?” Huang Xiaolong found it somewhat unbelievable.

Shirley Bai was of mixed race, having grown up in the Western countries. Despite appearing obedient and docile now, she’s actually the leader of the world’s largest mercenary group—famous for her countless kills, a notorious female demon. Could she really have conducted any research on a certain period of Huaxia’s history?

Probably just bluffing and showing off!

“Eh~~Don’t look at me like that… My father is Huaxian, you know…” Shirley Bai defended herself. “My father has a strong interest in the history of the Qin Dynasty of Huaxia. Maybe influenced by him, I’ve liked studying Qin history since I was a child; I even have some insights. Hehehe~~~~ In academic achievements, I might surpass ninety percent of Qin history scholars in Huaxia!”

“You?” Ying Aoshan spoke with some disdain. “You, a foreigner, dare to claim your research on Huaxia’s history surpasses that of our seasoned Huaxian scholars? Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Master! You must believe me!” Shirley Bai argued back, “Master, although you have divine skills, the mausoleum of Emperor Qin was built by the effort of several hundreds of thousands of craftsmen over decades. There’s no way you can explore it by yourself! Take me with you! An expert like me can be of help to you!”

“An expert? Hahaha~~~~” Huang Xiaolong finally couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Alright then, since you claim to have studied Qin history, tell us your greatest research finding.”

“Okay! Okay!” Shirley Bai gathered her thoughts and quickly said, “Emperor Qin Shi Huang was a great emperor, but the reason he could unify the Six States and establish an everlasting legacy, the reason he could build the world’s greatest underground mausoleum, that is because—”

Shirley Bai’s tone rose and fell, skillfully controlling the mood and rhythm as she successfully shifted everyone’s attention to her.

Looking serious and quite pleased with herself, Shirley Bai deliberately kept the others in suspense before slowly saying, “He had the help of aliens!!!!!”

“Pfft~~~~~~!” Huang Xiaolong, who was drinking tea, just couldn’t hold back when he heard Shirley Bai’s so-called research result. He sprayed the tea all over Shirley Bai’s stunningly beautiful face, full of exotic charm.

“Master… you… you…” Shirley Bai was utterly embarrassed, hurriedly wiping the water off her face with her sleeve, “Master, listen to me, I’m not making this up. I have evidence. Both the ‘Search for the Divine’ and ‘Han Book: Treatise on the Five Elements’ have detailed records—’In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s reign, a being ten feet tall with six-foot long strides, dressed in the attire of the barbarians, a total of twelve individuals, appeared in Lintao’… That’s aliens! With a body ten feet tall and wearing attire never seen by the Qin people, perhaps their spacesuits. A total of twelve aliens came to Earth to help Emperor Qin annihilate the Six States and construct the underground imperial city…”

Ma Chuxia, Ying Aoshan, and the rest stared blankly at Shirley Bai’s presentation, dumbfounded by her lecture.

Shirley Bai continued unabated. “You should know, I’ve studied many Huaxian historical records, and few are detailed in writing like this. The detail here even includes a small place name! Lintao is a county in what is now Gansu Province of Huaxia, and it is also the westernmost starting point of the Great Wall built during the Qin Dynasty!”

“Enough, can we stop spouting nonsense?” Yan Pianpian, like other ladies from the Huaxia ancient martial arts families, was getting impatient. “Our Huaxia’s history is not something that foreigners like you can fabricate and distort at will.”

“NO! I’m not a foreigner, my father is Huaxian!” Shirley protested vigorously.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong fell into deep thought, as if he was desperately trying to recall something.

“Little Long, no way? You believe what Shirley is saying?” Sun Wei was astonished.

“Well… I have to say, this mixed-race girl has quite the wild imagination.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Indeed, in the Qin and Han eras of Huaxia, there were many, many mysterious events that simply couldn’t be explained by science.”

“Yay~~~! Master, you believe what I said! You’re the best!” Shirley was so excited that she hurled herself at Huang Xiaolong, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his face.

“However, as far as I know, it wasn’t extraterrestrials at all,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “What you mentioned, those are the Twelve Golden Men. Emperor Qin ‘gathered weapons from across the world to Xianyang, casting twelve golden figures, each weighing a thousand stones, and placed them in the court palace’.”

Ma Chuxia continued the discussion, “However, these Twelve Golden Men have also vanished without a trace. There are no more records of them in the historical materials. I suspect they might be placed in the underground imperial city.”

“About the Twelve Golden Men, I do know a bit…” Huang Xiaolong said while recalling. “In fact, the Twelve Golden Men were not cast by Emperor Qin, but by a very powerful magician of the Qin Dynasty. The Twelve Golden Men are actually twelve terrifying Magic Artifacts! This magician, it is said, later led three thousand boys and girls to sail eastward from the coast, seeking the elixir of immortality for Emperor Qin. Most likely, he took the Twelve Golden Men with him. His name is—”

“Xu Fu!!!!!” Ma Chuxia and Xia Ying exclaimed in unison.

Shirley also screamed, “According to my research, Xu Fu is also an extraterrestrial!!!!!”

“Mmm~~ Xu Fu, the most powerful magician of the Qin Dynasty, held the most advanced spells and alchemy techniques of that time, was considered among the terrestrial immortals, and the Twelve Golden Men were his treasures,” Huang Xiaolong smiled, then muttered softly, “However, it’s strange. I haven’t seen Xu Fu’s soul in the underworld…”

Huang Xiaolong had not been interested in the history of the Qin Dynasty before, nor had he any desire to meddle with Emperor Qin’s mausoleum.

However, because of this quest to find the third black dagger in Emperor Qin’s mausoleum, he had become somewhat keen on the matter.

Only then did he suddenly remember that, in the underworld, there were souls of Emperor Qin, Li Si, Bai Qi, Zhao Gao, Wang Jian, and others but notably absent was the soul of Xu Fu, who was from the same era!

This was indeed very strange.

With a thought, Huang Xiaolong directly took out the Book of Life and Death and started flipping through it.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s expression changed slightly, “What’s going on? Xu Fu’s name isn’t recorded in the Book of Life and Death! What does this mean?”

…
