Fengwu Qinshang

Chapter 3: Accidentally Entering the Underground Palace

This is a small, dim passage. Qin Feng and three other archaeologists, holding pale yellow radiation-free mining lamps and wearing the latest biological suits that generate their own oxygen, are slowly moving towards the mysterious point No. 7 not far ahead.

Figuring out this mystery is their job today.

The four of them chatted while walking, which could reduce their fear of this enclosed space:

"Hey! I say, do you know that today is the day when eight planets align? Isn't it a once-in-a-thousand-year event?"

"I know that a nine-planet alignment takes about 6000 years, and a seven-planet alignment takes about 30 years, but I've never heard of an eight-planet alignment!"

"Who knows? It has nothing to do with us. I just want to know if our first emperor will be downstairs hugging a TV and watching the NBA live broadcast! Hahahaha!"

"I'm impressed by you. Your imagination is really big, really big, really big!"

"Zizzssssssssssssss!!!"

A few people were chatting when suddenly a burst of noise came from the headphones.

“Turn on the external speakers!”

The four of them turned on the external speakers at the same time.

The one walking in front was Qin Feng.

"Teachers, we have entered the rammed earth layer, which is 50 meters below the surface. In front of us is the mysterious spot No. 7. This place is quite peculiar, so everyone pay attention!"

Afterwards, apart from the heavy breathing sounds coming from the speakers, no one else was talking!

Although Qin Feng was an intern, after his performance over the past few days, the three senior experts in their team were very confident of his achievements. In many areas of Qin history, excavation and mechanism cracking, the three felt inferior to him. Qin Feng! After all, he specialized in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and acted with experience. Although he was sometimes a little arbitrary, his attitude was sincere, which made the three of them have a sense of respect for Qin Feng.

The pale yellow mining lamp illuminated the way, and a thin mist appeared in front.

"Everyone be careful, the mysterious position number seven is ahead! Strange, there is fog here. Teacher Qi, are you still unable to contact the headquarters?"

A person walking behind him answered:

"I can't get in touch with him. It's all noise. Maybe he's being disturbed by something!"

The four of them walked forward for another ten meters, and the fog became thicker and thicker! Qin Feng looked and stopped:

"Teacher Qi, please wait here for a moment. I'll go check out the front. I can't figure out what's going on with these mysterious people. I'll go explore the way!"

"No, Xiao Qin! I think we should withdraw first, explain the situation to the leader, and let the headquarters decide!"

"Yeah! Let's go back first!"

Qin Feng turned around and looked at the three experts in the light, smiled and said confidently:

"Three teachers, our task today is to understand these unknown points. Now that we are here, let's just figure it out! In fact, the current Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is no longer too dangerous for us. The problem of mercury poisoning has been solved, the problem of the crossbow has been solved, the problem of quicksand has been solved, the problem of hidden fire has been solved, and even the chain pits have been solved. Tell me, what dangers are there? The only thing we have to do now is to do our best to explore these unknown points and protect all the cultural relics here. Don't worry, I have walked around the entire Qin Shihuang Mausoleum no less than a hundred times in the game, and I can find my way back with my eyes closed, don't worry!"

The three of them looked at each other! Come to think of it, this young man in front of them was one of the developers of that game. After dozens of days of archaeological excavations, they found that everything shown in that game was surprisingly consistent with the actual situation here.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment:

"Okay! Then we'll wait for you here, come back soon! If there's anything, just yell, we can hear you!"

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Qin Feng said this and turned around, continuing to walk forward along the tunnel following the light of the miner's lamp.

It must be said that the game he and Zhao Gang played in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was perfect. This place was tens of meters away from the ground, while the Heavenly Palace in the center of the underground palace was hundreds of meters away from the ground. It was just a far cry from where they were!

Although Qin Feng had a pretty good idea in his mind, these mysterious spots were too strange, so he had to slow down and move forward little by little.

Through the mask, the fog in front was getting thicker and thicker. Although the pale yellow light from the mining lamp had strong penetrating power, the distance he could see was also shortening little by little, until finally, he could only see less than two meters in front of him.

"Qin Feng, are you okay?"

Hearing Teacher Qi's shout coming from the speaker behind him, Qin Feng opened his voice:

"It's fine! Although the fog is very thick, it's okay, everything is going well!"

After shouting, continue!

After walking about ten meters forward, his vision suddenly went dark and it seemed as if a big door stood before him. Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised, but what followed were questions that puzzled him!

Taking two steps forward, I arrived in front of the black door. This door stood from floor to ceiling, but was actually only two meters high.

In the middle of the two bare doors stood two black door knockers with animal heads! There were forty-nine black door nails, seven horizontal and seven vertical. This was an ordinary door, nothing special about it, but this door made Qin Feng excited and strange at the same time, because the number of door nails was forty-nine, representing the doctor's mansion, not eighty-one, representing the king's.

"That's not right! This should be a three-way intersection with corridors on both sides. There should be no door here. It should be all rammed earth! Then what's the situation with this door?"

There were several things that should have happened, but now they all became inappropriate!

Thinking of this, Qin Feng slowly reached out and touched the door knocker.

At this moment, the whole world is watching the live broadcast of the eight-planet conjunction that occurs once every thousands of years using the most advanced radio telescope in space, and people are talking about it on the streets.

A historic moment that occurs once every thousands of years finally appears. The eight stars finally line up in a line, and all eight stars emit a faint fluorescence at the same time.

At the same time, Qin Feng's right hand in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang just grabbed a door knocker held by a pepper pattern. The black door suddenly opened, and the light inside the door was shining. The dazzling white light made Qin Feng's eyes hurt:

"oops!"

He screamed and quickly closed his eyes, trying to block the strong light with his hands, but a strong suction force pulled him into the black door, and then with a "bang", the black door closed.

It was like being stuck in quicksand. This was Qin Feng’s first feeling after he became dazed.

He couldn't even move a finger. He just felt his whole body being squeezed by a force, as if he had fallen into the deep sea and was being squeezed by the powerful pressure, which became tighter and tighter until he was about to suffocate.

Qin Feng finally tried to open his eyes that were filled with tears and pain. Through the glass on the mask that was squeezed and deformed, the outside was as dark as ink:

"Such a strong light. If it weren't for the heat and light insulation function of this mask, I would have been blinded by just that one hit! But this? Where is this place?"

At this moment, apart from the sound of his own rapid breathing, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"What's going on? The pressure is making it hard for me to breathe!"

There was no feeling of movement, only stillness and increasing pressure.

My breathing became more and more rapid, and I could feel my heartbeat very clearly. It seemed like it was about to explode as it pumped desperately, trying hard to transport blood to every part of my body.

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, but he was becoming weaker and weaker.

At this time, Qin Feng no longer felt the pain of holding his breath, and his brain began to gradually lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen. The last bit of clarity made him feel "It's bad, I'm going to die!"

Thinking of this, his mind started to blur, and then he subconsciously tried to breathe, and it was getting weaker and weaker!

Just when Qin Feng was about to lose consciousness, suddenly, he felt a sense of comfort and returned to consciousness. Qin Feng began to breathe greedily in big gulps, just like a drowning man being dragged ashore at the last moment.

His brain regained control of his thoughts. After a moment, he still stood upright and tried to open his tired eyelids. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.
