Chapter 795 This Road is Impassable

After entering the cave, I folded my wings behind me and squinted my eyes to look deeper into the cave.

I was at the entrance of the cave. Although there was a roaring waterfall behind me, the sunlight still penetrated the shimmering water surface, illuminating the entrance of the cave.

With the help of the sunlight, I saw that the corridor was about three meters high and two meters wide. The rock walls on both sides of the cave had obvious traces of being chiseled. In some places, there seemed to be murals carved, but the water vapor here was too heavy, causing the murals to fall off severely. I could no longer see what was carved at the time.

And looking deeper, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything clearly.

I took a deep breath and then walked carefully into the depths of the cave.

I thought that since the cave had been excavated nearly two thousand years ago, there might be a large-scale collapse inside, but it didn't. The entire cave was not only extremely solid, but also still maintained the appearance of more than a thousand years ago. As I walked deeper, even the murals were completely preserved.

I approached the rock wall, squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that the rock wall seemed to depict the life story of the tomb owner.

Sima Cuo's greatest achievement in his life was to lead his army to destroy the Shu Kingdom, defeat the Chu Kingdom, and quell the rebellion in Chenzhuang.

The mural depicted a tall and long-armed, extremely heroic man riding on a horse, commanding thousands of troops and fighting against the enemy.

However, all ancient generals have an inexplicable murderous aura and sense of oppression. It is not known whether this mural was intentional or Sima Cuo was just like that. Although Sima Cuo in the mural is riding on a horse and commanding thousands of troops, he does not exude a murderous aura, but instead has a sense of elegance.

Especially when he strokes his beard with one hand, his slightly raised mouth corners and smiling eyes, all of them reveal a kind of...this person is a great talent who can plan and win the battle thousands of miles away.

I have read the official history about Sima Cuo. He learned the thought of the school of strategy in his early years and knew how to make alliances. Therefore, he was very successful in the officialdom. Not only did he have very good interpersonal relationships, but he was also trusted by the First Emperor.

Moreover, he was indeed a Confucian general. During the Qin Dynasty, many famous generals were very knowledgeable, most of whom were military strategists. They were not only familiar with the art of war, but also proficient in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I read them one by one, and then I saw that the style of the next few murals changed.

I saw that in the murals, there was an extremely large funeral procession. At the front of the procession, there were more than a hundred people in mourning. The person at the head was carrying a soul-guiding sail and standing under a huge waterfall, looking up.

These people in mourning should be Sima Cuo's relatives, and behind them are tens of thousands of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.

These soldiers are neatly dressed and lined up in all directions. In the center, a team of soldiers carries a huge bronze coffin on their shoulders, and the person buried in this coffin should be Sima Cuo.

"After burying Sima Cuo in the mausoleum, were these soldiers made into terracotta warriors directly? Or were the terracotta warriors already made in advance and slowly carried out by these soldiers?" I frowned and then continued to look at the next mural. The

second mural depicts the funeral procession entering the mausoleum, but the way they entered the mausoleum surprised me.

I thought that these soldiers would build a plank road and then follow it into the cave, but the mural shows that these soldiers rose from the ground, stepped on auspicious clouds and slowly flew into the cave.

"Is it an exaggerated embellishment?"

I know that ancient people generally liked to be mysterious and exaggerated. This mural seems to show that these soldiers are flying into the mausoleum on auspicious clouds, but the reality is that they have already built the plank road and entered the cave along it.

"But who is this man in armor sitting on horseback?"

I saw that in this mural, countless soldiers slowly flew up and entered the cave, and on the ground, there was an extremely heroic man sitting on horseback, watching everything with cold eyes, as if he was supervising, and behind him, there were five soldiers sitting on war horses, watching everything quietly.

The second painting mainly expresses the process of entering the mausoleum, so the few people were not portrayed deeply. I continued to look at the next mural, and then I found that the mural depicted the man sitting on horseback.

And I recognized who this person was almost at a glance.

"Marquis Wu'an, the God of Killing Bai Qi!"

My pupils shrank, and I thought to myself that Bai Qi was older than Meng Tian, ​​Sima Cuo and others, and he had conquered the world with Qin Shihuang's father. I thought that Bai Qi died earlier than everyone else, or entered the mausoleum to sleep earlier, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Bai Qi is a man who is loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that all the famous generals of the Qin Dynasty were sent to the mausoleum under the supervision of Bai Qi? However, Bai Qi has already reached the realm of incorruptible bones, while Meng Tian is only at the realm of flying zombies. If Meng Tian entered the mausoleum to sleep before Bai Qi, then it stands to reason that Bai Qi's realm should not be as good as Meng Tian's. Could it be that... Bai Qi has too much murderous intention and too much murderous aura, so he slept for a thousand years, and his realm was able to advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through the realm of incorruptible bones in one fell swoop? But this... shouldn't be!"

I frowned and thought secretly, and finally, I suddenly came to a conclusion that shocked my heart.

That is, the elixir of immortality brought back by Xu Fu from his sea voyage to visit the immortals was most likely graded. The higher the grade of the elixir, the more stringent the materials and conditions required for refining it, so it was extremely difficult to refine.

The highest grade was awarded to Bai Qi by the First Emperor, and the elixir of immortality taken by the other famous generals might be of a lower grade.

I took a deep breath and then continued to look down.

The next few murals depicted the burial process, but one of them particularly caught my attention.

That is, the soldiers who carried the coffin into the tomb were all arranged in a square formation and slowly walked into the burial pit.

"It seems that these soldiers should be buried with the dead, but they are still alive. How were they made into terracotta warriors?"

I continued to look at the next picture, and then I found that there was a big tripod hanging above the heads of these terracotta warriors. There was black air coming out of the tripod, and it seemed that there was something inside.

I knew that the thing in the tripod should be the key to making terracotta warriors. I was about to continue reading, but I was stunned.

Because here, the cave collapsed. Countless dust and dirt completely blocked the cave, and the murals were buried under the rubble.

"Collapsed?" I was shocked.

Before, my attention was almost attracted by the murals, so I didn't notice the scene inside the cave. Only

then did I realize that this road was blocked!
