C1640 The Tomb Keeper Meng Qing
It wasn't that Xue Chen didn't want to see Lu Tianci, Loong Yu and the others, but that Xue Chen didn't know what to say when he saw them. At the same time, with their relationship, if they found out, Lu Tianci and Loong Yu would definitely follow him to the Heavenly Lake.
However, Antonio wasn't a simple person. At the same time, Antonio's strength wasn't small either. At that time, there would definitely be a great battle between him and Antonio. He didn't even have the confidence to survive, so how could he guarantee Lu Tianci and Loong Yu's safety?
Therefore, Xue Chen didn't go to see them. He left quietly.
Jiang Ruloong's face was filled with helplessness and complicated emotions. He didn't know what he felt when Xue Chen said those last words.
He was neither happy nor excited. He was also a little sad. It could be said that he had mixed feelings.
After Xue Chen left the capital, he headed straight for Longxi. According to the information Martial God left him, the Bronzeman was in Longxi.
Longxi's Chang'an was located in the middle of the Guan Zhong plains, north of the Wei River, south of the Qin Ridge. Eight rivers moistened Chang'an. Chang'an had been the imperial capital since ancient times. There were Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Xin Mang and Eastern Han, Western Jin, former Zhao, and former Qin. The thirteen dynasties of Later Qin, West Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang established their capital here. It was one of the most important places for the civilization of China and the people of China, and the eastern starting point of the Silk Road.
The capital city of Fengliu, the Palace of Qin Epang, the Terracotta Soldier, the Palace of Han Weiyang, the Palace of Changle, and the City of Sui Daxing. The Palace of Tang Daoming, the Palace of Xingqing, and so on outlined the 'Chang'an complex'. Every year, it attracted countless tourists from both China and foreign countries to come and watch.
The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Chang'an was definitely the most attractive place. It had become the world's eighth greatest miracle!
The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was at the northern foot of Chang'an Li Mountain. As a result, after Xue Chen came to Chang'an, he immediately headed towards Li Mountain.
There were quite a few people who came to visit the Imperial Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Almost all of them held their phones and kept taking pictures of the surroundings. Each and every one of them seemed very curious as they looked around.
Xue Chen looked at the scene in front of him. A faint smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.
If they knew that the so-called Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was just an empty mausoleum, what would these people do?
In Martial God's letter to Xue Chen, Xue Chen learned that there was no First Emperor in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. In other words, there was a secret passage between the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the place where the First Emperor was buried. However, it had never been discovered by anyone. Therefore, even if the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was opened one day, it was impossible to find the remains of the First Emperor.
Moreover, there were many traps in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. There were almost no exits. Otherwise, how could such a place not be opened?
No one was not afraid of death, especially when faced with unknown things. It was even more terrifying.
However, none of this had anything to do with Xue Chen. Even if the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was going to see the light of day again, he wouldn't say anything.
Could he really see the light of day again?
Looking at the tourists coming and going in front of him, Xue Chen exhaled a breath of sulk and headed towards Li Mountain.
He wanted to climb the mountain!
The message Martial God left for him was to let Xue Chen go to Li Mountain to retrieve medicinal Bronzemans. Of course, he still needed to find the tomb guardian!
The medicinal Bronzemans, Martial God let them watch over it.
Although there were countless beautiful scenery in Mount Li, Xue Chen did not come to sightsee. Hence, he did not have any mood to appreciate at all.
When Xue Chen arrived at the Old Sovereign Hall, an old man with a slightly plump figure and a ruddy complexion suddenly appeared in front of Xue Chen.
"Young man, is he alone?"
Xue Chen looked at the old man and nodded. "The old man is also alone."
"No, I have companions." The old man shook his head. "The young man looked a little irritated, but what happened?"
"A small matter!"
"Young man, can you tell me? Maybe I can help you."
Xue Chen smiled. "Thank you for your kindness," he said. "I'm afraid you won't be able to help me."
Xue Chen ignored the old man and walked forward.
At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "For her sister, your white dress is stained with blood. When you anger the world, you must fight for Martial God's name!"
When Xue Chen heard this, his body trembled uncontrollably. He immediately turned his head to look at the old man.
"Old man, you... you are..."
"Young master!" The old man said respectfully to Xue Chen, "I am the gravekeeper. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xue Chen's face was full of excitement when he heard the old man's words.
Originally, according to the information Martial God left behind, he, Xue Chen, needed to ascend to the peak of Li Mountain. At the same time, he had to walk about five kilometers southeast from the peak of Li Mountain. But who would have thought that he would actually meet the gravekeeper here?
"Old man, I..."
"Young Master, this is not the place to talk. Let's change places!"
"Okay!"
In the next moment, the old man brought Xue Chen and left the place.
Although Mount Li was a treasure mountain with most of the scenery on the mountain, at the same time, there were definitely places that were not tourist attractions. There were definitely places that no one cared about.
The place that this old man brought Xue Chen to now was not only the peak of Li Mountain, but at the same time, it was also a place that no one cared about.
Xue Chen followed this old man's footsteps, relying on his outstanding memory and perception of direction, he could clearly know that the place this old man brought him to seemed to be the place Martial God mentioned.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man brought Xue Chen to a cave.
The cave was about forty square meters. There were also stone beds, bedding, and other things.
With just a glance, one could tell that this was where the old man usually lived.
"This old man is Meng Qing. Greetings, Young Master!"
As he spoke, the old man was about to bow down to Xue Chen.
Seeing this, Xue Chen hurriedly held Meng Qing back. However, he did not pull him up. It was as if the two of them were secretly competing with each other.
The corner of Xue Chen's mouth slowly formed a smile. "Old man, I cannot bear your bow. Get up!"
As he spoke, Xue Chen suddenly exerted force with both hands and pulled Meng Qing up.
After Meng Qing was dragged up by Xue Chen, he could not help smiling. "Good, good, as expected of the First Emperor. This strength is enough to make the Nine Palaces recognize a master, enough to control us!"
"Old man, although I really want to talk to you, I really don't have much to do right now. So, if there is anything wrong with this kid's next words, please forgive me!" Xue Chen said politely.
If it was in the past, Xue Chen would never mind talking to Meng Qing, but now he really did not have much time.
After all, Gong Shangyu was still in Antonio's hands!
"Young Master, please speak!"
"Bronzeman, I need Bronzeman!" Xue Chen said heavily.
"This old one is already prepared. I wonder if Young Master needs our help to transport it away, or..."
"I'll take it myself!" Xue Chen said without hesitation.
"Okay, I will get someone to arrange a vehicle for you and put the Bronzeman on it." Meng Qing said very happily, "It's just that Young Master, are you able to open the medicinal Qin Imperial Seals?"
Xue Chen slowly exhaled a breath of air from his mouth. "The medicinal Qin Imperial Seals are indeed about to open. But it's hard to say who the things inside are!"
Hearing Xue Chen say so, Meng Qingwei was stunned. "Could something have happened?"
Xue Chen thought for a moment and finally nodded. "Old man, my uncle is missing. I don't know if he is alive or dead."
"What?" Meng Qing's expression changed. "Martial God is missing?"
"Yes." Xue Chen's face was full of helplessness as he spat out a mouthful of air. "Now my mother-in-law has fallen into the other party's hands!"
"I'm going to exchange this for my mother-in-law!"
"Palace Mistress Gong Shangyu also fell into the other party's hands?" Meng Qing said with a face full of disbelief.
Xue Chen nodded helplessly and bitterly.
"Looks like the heavens are really going to change. No wonder Martial God placed the Bronzeman in this old man's place. Now it looks like he has long prepared for the worst!" Meng Qing said with a sad face, "Young Master, forgive this old one for not being able to leave with you!"
Meng Qing's mission was to protect the Imperial Mausoleum, to protect the First Emperor. Moreover, it would be passed down from generation to generation. It had already been a thousand years since the beginning of his Meng Family all the way until now. They had always abided by this rule and had always been guarding this place, not letting anyone truly disturb the First Emperor's rest.
"Old man, I will settle this matter myself!"
"Although I cannot leave with you, this thing was left to you by Martial God."
As he spoke, Meng Qing turned around and walked to a stone table. He picked up a strange black token from it and threw it to Xue Chen. "Young master," he said. This is the Nine Palaces Order. This token can be used by the ruler of the Nine Palaces. No one from the Xue Family can use it except for the First Emperor!"
"If anyone is good at using it, the Nine Palaces will join hands and kill them!"
Xue Chen looked at the token in his hand with a shocked expression. He had never thought that this token could only be used by the people of the Xue Family.
"How can I use this to find someone?" Xue Chen immediately asked the key question.
He had the Nine Palaces Token, but he did not know how to use it.
"Spread the news of the Nine Palaces Token's birth. The master of the Nine Palaces will come to help you when he receives the news!" Meng Qing said indifferently, "But you have to tell us the location!"
"The Nine Palace Masters will head there immediately after they know about it. If anyone dares to disobey, the Long Simone Clan will sweep them clean for you!"
The Meng Clan had been loyal to the First Emperor since a thousand years ago. Even though a thousand years had passed, they had not changed their hearts. They could be said to be the most loyal people!
"Old man, do you know who the Master of the Nine Halls is?"
"I definitely know!" Meng Qing said softly: "But I can't tell you now!"
"Young Master, that's all I can help you with!"
"Old man, please do this. If I don't come back one day, I hope you can help me take care of my future child!" Xue Chen said heavily, "His mother is Shee Xueyan. I think you can find her."
Meng Qing was the tomb guardian. Although Xue Chen didn't know his strength, he was sure that he was stronger than Zuo Cheng'ao when he bowed to him. In other words, he could become a Unification warrior. It all depended on whether he could understand it or not.
