The Secret of the Qin Mausoleum: Living Human Terracotta Warriors
Previous episode: Top secret files revealed
Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the archaeological world, undercurrents surge, countless clues to historical mysteries like hidden undercurrents, waiting to be discovered. In 20XX, a top-secret dossier numbered _ ...
A special investigative team, composed of leading archaeologists, historians, and researchers, was quietly assembled under state-imposed orders. One of the team's core members, archaeologist Lin Yu, was in his prime. With a deep and sharp eye, he seemed to be able to pierce the mists of history and discern truths buried by time. Lin possessed an extraordinary talent and a near-obsessive passion for the study of ancient tombs. Every excavation felt like a dialogue with the ancients, transcending time and space. This time, he anticipated an unprecedented challenge.
It was a gloomy afternoon, heavy clouds weighing down the city like lead, foreshadowing the weight of the secrets this dossier would bring. Lin Yu sat in the Special Investigations Team's meeting room, the lights dim and flickering, as if threatened to be swallowed by darkness at any moment. As the top-secret dossier was slowly placed before him, his hands trembled slightly, as if he were touching more than just a pile of paper, but a mysterious call from the depths of history.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly flipped open the file. The first thing that caught his eye were a few blurry black-and-white photos. The images were slightly mottled by the erosion of time, but the faint outlines of human figures could still be discerned. Their postures were stiff and eerie, as if frozen in a single moment. Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened, and an indescribable shock washed over him. He continued to flip through the pages, the densely packed records opening a door to a mysterious world.
It has been discovered that the Qin Mausoleum contains at least ten thousand mysterious guardians. These guardians are not the traditional terracotta figurines, but living, breathing beings. Seeing this, Lin Yu gasped. Living figurines? This was beyond his comprehension. According to the archives, these guardians were created by the ingestion of a mysterious drug. Lin Yu could almost imagine the ancient Qin Dynasty, the flames blazing in the mysterious alchemy furnaces, the refined drugs emitting a strange glow, as if imbued with a power beyond time and space, capable of transforming the human body from its normal organic state into a special form, granting them eternal life, lasting for over 2,000 years.
Lin Yu couldn't help but imagine the following scene: Qin Shi Huang standing in his magnificent palace, his eyes revealing his desire for immortality. At a single command, countless alchemists began to study day and night, searching for the legendary elixir of life. All of this ultimately led to the mysterious terracotta warriors deep within the Qin Mausoleum.
However, this miraculous drug also brought significant side effects. The Qinling Guardians' ability to perceive the outside world was greatly diminished, retaining only basic vision, hearing, and physical sensations, with a complete loss of smell and taste. Their skin took on the texture of earthenware figurines, as if the passage of time had left a unique mark on them. More importantly, once exposed to sunlight or leaving the underground palace, they would completely disappear like bubbles. Lin Yu frowned, wondering inwardly, what kind of mysterious power could grant eternal life while also imposing such harsh restrictions?
Lin Yu and his team sat around the conference table, the atmosphere as heavy as the dark clouds outside the window. "This completely overturns our understanding of history," Lin Yu said slowly, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. He felt as if he were in the middle of a huge mystery, with every clue pointing to a deeper unknown.
Historian Professor Chen nodded, his face as serious as a stone. He pushed his thick glasses up on his nose, his eyes flickering with a complex light, a mixture of excitement at the new discovery and apprehension about the unknown. "Moreover, this incident also sheds new light on the historical burning of books and burying of scholars. If the records in the archives are true, then the burning of books and burying of scholars was actually a large-scale purge targeting those who knew about it, aimed at covering up the shocking secret of the living human terracotta warriors in the Qin Mausoleum." Professor Chen's voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the abyss of history.
Lin Yu's heart trembled. He recalled the historical records of the burning of books and burying of scholars. People had always regarded it as an act of tyranny by Qin Shi Huang, but never imagined that there was such a shocking truth behind it. His thoughts began to wander through the long river of history, imagining Qin Shi Huang's order to burn books and bury those who knew the secret to protect it. What a bloody and cruel scene it must have been.
Another member, biologist Dr. Li, pushed his glasses up, a cool light reflecting off the lenses, as if reflecting his calm demeanor. He continued, "Furthermore, from the archives, we can infer that Qin Shihuang's death was most likely a carefully orchestrated conspiracy, staged and staged by himself, designed to conceal his true identity and allow him to maintain control from within the underground palace. As of now, Qin Shihuang and his over 10,000 men are likely still in the underground palace." Dr. Li's words were like a hammer, hammering down on everyone's hearts.
This astonishing conclusion plunged everyone present into deep thought. Lin Yu clenched his fists, his heart churning like a raging sea. He knew that once this secret was revealed, it would completely rewrite history. But at the same time, they also faced enormous risks. After all, the Qin Mausoleum's underground palace concealed too many unknown dangers.
Lin Yu looked out the window. The sky grew increasingly gloomy, a storm seemingly approaching. A strong sense of mission surged within him, tinged with a hint of fear. He knew that the road ahead might be one filled with thorns and uncertainties. But his intense curiosity and his unwavering pursuit of the truth, like a blazing fire, fueled his resolve to delve deeper into the secrets of the Qin Mausoleum, even if the path was fraught with obstacles and the unknown darkness threatened to consume them. Like fearless warriors, they were about to step into the mysterious and terrifying abyss of history to uncover the earth-shattering mystery that had been buried for millennia.
