Suddenly, five forks in the road appeared ahead, and Mi Li stopped, her eyes filled with confusion.
"What's wrong? Which way should we go?" Zuan asked curiously.
Mi Li said, "According to the Five Elements Formation, any of these five paths is possible."
Bi Linglong picked up a small stone and threw it into one of the passageways. Soon, various arrows shot out from it: "It seems that only one of these five paths is real, and the others are traps."
Mi Li said, "That's right. Unfortunately, what has traps may not be fake, while what doesn't may be a dead end."
As the two Jurchens were deep in thought, Zu'an suddenly had an idea and pointed to the second road on the left, saying, "This one!"
"How did you know?" Bi Linglong asked in confusion. This was the same path she had just used to test the waters, and it was clear that there were many traps inside.
Even Mi Li stared at him in surprise, waiting for his explanation.
"It seems like the 'Book of Records' told me this." Zuan rubbed his temples. "Just now, for some reason, a picture of a second path suddenly appeared in my mind."
“Then this one.” Mi Li went in first, as if she had complete faith in the “Record Book”.
Zuan originally wanted to warn her to be careful, but then he thought that with her cultivation level and his own, they should be able to handle anything that happened.
As expected, they encountered some obstacles along the way, but the two of them easily overcame them. After the initial danger, the road ahead became smooth, and soon the group arrived at a large gate with rows of neat, gilded door studs, which looked exceptionally magnificent.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing Mi Li's voice, Zu An thought something had happened and looked around warily.
Mi Li stared blankly at the gate without speaking. Bi Linglong, who was beside her, said, "There are eighty-one door studs in nine rows and nine columns on this gate. Nine is the most yang number, symbolizing the supreme emperor. Only emperors have ever been qualified to use this nine-nine standard. If others use it indiscriminately, it is an overstepping of authority and a crime punishable by the confiscation of their property and the extermination of their clan."
Being in the royal family, she was quite sensitive to these matters of etiquette.
Zu'an was taken aback and looked at Mi Li: "Master, is that really true? Could it be that Ying Zheng is buried inside?"
Mi Li said, "We didn't have such strict regulations back then, but there were indeed similar sayings. As for this, it obviously wouldn't be Ying Zheng. How could someone as ambitious as him have a tomb of this size for himself?"
Zu An thought about it and agreed. Although the gate in front of him was impressive, it was only impressive in appearance.
In the world before his transmigration, Qin Shi Huang's tomb was an entire mountain. Many imperial tombs throughout history had been robbed, but no one had ever managed to rob his. This world is a fantasy world, and Qin Shi Huang has access to far more resources than in his previous life, so how could he possibly settle for less?
"I want to see who's buried inside." Mi Li snorted coldly and walked straight inside.
The tomb door was sealed off by a dragon-severing stone, but that couldn't stop her. She was now a spirit, and the physical door couldn't stop her at all.
She seemed to disappear into the door as if she were transparent. After a short while, the door slowly opened, clearly indicating that she had activated the mechanism from the inside.
Zuan and Bi Linglong hurriedly followed them inside, eager to find out what secrets this tomb held.
