Chapter 754 This is the tomb of the first queen of the Parthian Empire!
Gu Sinian didn't say much, and directly took out a green-brown antidote pill from his sleeve and handed it over, with a bit of fear in his tone:
"What else can I do? Take the detoxification pill first.
If Wanwan hadn't prepared for us earlier, we would have been caught here today."
Fifteen scratched his head, his tone full of admiration: "Wanwan is really thoughtful. If it weren't for her, we would be in trouble today!"
Gu Sinian suppressed the lingering fear in his heart and spoke calmly:
"Don't waste your energy now, just rest here for a while and wait for Wanwan to join you.
Let’s have dinner first!”
Azhi was quick and agile. He quickly picked up some dry wood nearby and built a simple fire.
Gu Sinian took out the barbecue wrapped in oil paper from his bag, put it on the fire to roast, and buried two potatoes in the embers of the fire.
The fat dripped into the fire, and the sizzling sound mixed with the aroma of meat spread. After the potatoes were roasted until the skin was crispy, the three of them shared the food and finally recovered. They leaned against the pillar and closed their eyes to rest.
Not long after I rested, I suddenly heard a soft "squeaking" sound in my ears. It was toffee!
The three of them opened their eyes immediately and saw Bai Wanwan and Chuyi walking towards them quickly.
Fifteen suddenly pulled out the dagger from his side and rushed straight towards Bai Wanwan.
Chuyi was quick and stretched out his arms to stop her, his voice full of anxiety: "Are you crazy? Look carefully! What are you going to do?"
Fifteen was pulled to a halt and sheathed his knife awkwardly.
"Wanwan, you're finally here! You don't know, we just met someone who looks exactly like you, and we were almost deceived by her.
She also injured me with a poisonous hidden weapon. If it weren't for the antidote pills you gave us, we would be finished now."
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "What do you mean? How could there be someone exactly like me?"
Gu Sinian said calmly:
“It’s true. I suspect it was a killer, and I don’t know who sent him, but this ancient tomb has been exposed.
I think we need to find a way to quickly move the gold, silver, and treasures here."
Bai Wanwan nodded and said:
“We’ve only reached the third level, and we still have two more levels to go. We don’t know what’s waiting for us on the next two levels.
Let's take a good rest here first, and then we'll go up tomorrow."
This ancient tomb was full of strange things. Bai Wanwan also saw the koi fish nearby and said, "It's amazing that there are fish here."
Gu Sinian looked at her and said, "Wanwan, this tomb is a little strange. What are you thinking?"
Bai Wanwan chuckled and said:
“Actually, I didn’t think much of anything. I just wanted to see what the queen looked like, and this tomb is pretty cool.
If it's renovated, maybe many more people will come to visit it in the future. This is the tomb of the first queen of the Parthian Empire!"
"Ah?" Gu Sinian was stunned.
Bai Wanwan looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "I don't know what the Queen of Parthia was thinking. Why would she build a mausoleum here? I'm so curious now."
Gu Sinian shuddered and said, "You mean to let people visit this place? This... this is not good, right?"
Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:
"What's wrong with it? The interior of this mausoleum is simply amazing, and the scenery is very nice.
I've been walking around outside, and I don't know what the Queen is thinking, but the interior of this tomb is truly well-built."
Bai Wanwan walked around the tomb for a long time, and the scene in front of her made her unable to move.
This place is even more shocking than Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Warriors. Its aura alone is overwhelming!
Take the most conspicuous area, for example. There are tens of thousands of terracotta warriors standing densely, each of them wearing heavy armor and holding a spear or halberd. The terracotta horses are also wearing metal horse armor, and even the fierceness in the horses' eyes is carved vividly.
The wind blew through the tomb passage, and it seemed that one could still hear the crisp sound of armor colliding. The scene of golden swords and iron horses made people feel more nervous than a real battlefield.
Looking to the side, the weapons on the shelves are even more bizarre. Some of them look like spears but have gears on the tips, which can cut through iron shields with a single turn.
There was also a small crossbow the size of a palm, with the arrow shaft in the quiver shining like a silver bar. It looked more sophisticated than the crossbows used today, and perhaps it could shoot through several layers of wood with just one pull of the trigger.
These old weapons feel cold to the touch, but they are more powerful than modern weapons.
Moreover, the scenery in this tomb is also shockingly luxurious, with jade-carved buildings and pavilions everywhere, and the pillars are made of whole pieces of white jade.
Even the bricks on the ground are made of patterned emerald stone. When the light shines on them, all you see is bright green and white.
The more Bai Wanwan looked at it, the more confused she became. This is only the third floor, and it’s so exaggerated. There are two floors above it!
No matter how bad it is, it will definitely not be weaker than this layer. There may be something more spectacular waiting on it than these ten thousand terracotta warriors!
Bai Wanwan led Gu Sinian directly to the armory. As soon as they pushed open the heavy door, the warehouse full of bows and crossbows caught their eyes.
Some crossbows have bow arms wrapped with metal patterns that glow with a cold light, and arrows with special coatings are placed on the strings.
Some of them are small in size but are equipped with sophisticated mechanisms. One can tell at a glance that their range and lethality far exceed those of ordinary weapons, exuding a terrifying deterrent power.
Gu Sinian stared at these weapons, his expression darkening a little bit:
"No wonder the Great Qi State has been declining in recent years... I know exactly how much land we've lost and how much money we've lost in compensation.
Back then, the territory of the Great Qi State was larger than that of the Parthian State, and its national strength could rival theirs. Who could have imagined that in just a few years, the two countries would become evenly matched in strength?
He reached out and touched the crossbow beside him, his tone becoming graver:
"Look at these weapons, which one is not finely crafted?
The Parthian Empire must have focused all its attention on this. I'm afraid it is secretly expanding its military and preparing for war, and its territory may be quietly pushing towards our border.
If this continues, in a few days, our Great Qi State may not even be able to maintain its status as an equal opponent."
Bai Wanwan chuckled upon hearing this, her tone full of confidence: "What are you afraid of? We have muskets now! If they really dare to come, we will just shoot them until they don't know which way is which!"
After that, the two of them didn't stay any longer and turned back to the rest area to rest.
The next morning, they set out for the upper levels of the tomb, but when they reached the entrance to that level, they were dumbfounded.
The path that was supposed to lead to the upper level had completely disappeared, and even the entrance door was completely blocked by thick stone layers, without even a crack to be found.
Milk Bottle on the side came forward, sniffed the sealed stone door with the tip of his nose, then looked up at Bai Wanwan, and shook his little head slightly, obviously not finding a breakthrough.
Milk Tea's voice came, with a hint of caution: "This... this is full of poison! I can't tell what it is, but it smells wrong!"
Bai Wanwan also leaned in to smell it, frowned slightly, and quickly reacted:
“This smell…it must be full of mercury.
I didn't expect this queen to use the same trick as Qin Shi Huang, relying on mercury to guard the upper tomb passage, both to prevent tomb robbers and to protect the tomb."
