Chapter 484 My Celebrity Boyfriend (7)
When they actually stepped into the underground palace, they realized that this was not a mausoleum at all, but clearly a city.
The liquid mercury flowing around the city was clearly intended to form a moat, resembling a jade ribbon or a silver river, a breathtaking sight.
Following her intuition, Wangyou walked along the palace path, perfectly avoiding all the traps, and arrived at the main tomb chamber.
"You're here already?"
“That must be the coffin of His Majesty the First Emperor. Shall we go open it now?” Wangyou said, her eyes shining as she looked at the coffin.
"Patriarch Xie, don't you sense anything different?"
"What's different? Nothing, this hall is quite cool."
"Don't you feel anything else?"
"What kind of weird feeling is this? Could it be ghosts? I'm not afraid of that."
"You're not afraid, but we are! There are swarms of them everywhere!" Several experts couldn't help but say, trembling. If you got close enough, you could hear their teeth chattering.
Wangyou turned her head and saw that all of them had their eyes closed. Out of curiosity, Wangyou opened her third eye and saw a man standing close to her.
Startled, Wangyou quickly took a big step back. "Senior, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Please stay away from me!"
"You can see me!"
“Your height matches, and your appearance matches the historical records. You really are the First Emperor. Those must be your soldiers. Why didn’t you reincarnate? Is that really you in the coffin?” Wangyou asked curiously.
"Miss, haven't we met somewhere before?" Ying Zheng asked Wangyou uncertainly.
"No, this is definitely the first time we've met. As expected of our ancestor, the scale of this event is truly grand." Wangyou looked over all the soldiers next to Ying Zheng.
"Old Yang, Old Yan, Old He, what are you chanting with your eyes closed? Why don't you come and see our ancestor? You've been saying you want to see him every day!" Wangyou went over and pulled them up one by one.
What year is it today?
"It is now 2341, more than two thousand years have passed since your time."
"So what is the situation like in the outside world now?"
"The seas are calm and the rivers are peaceful, and the world is prosperous and at peace. However, the birth rate has declined in recent years, and there is no one to inherit this vast country." Wangyou suddenly had a great idea, but she couldn't tell anyone about it.
"Then why not encourage childbirth?"
"It's probably because there are more souls like you, our ancestor, who refuse to reincarnate, that's why the birth rate has decreased!"
"This, it is still my fault!"
"Of course! As the ancestor of the Dragon Kingdom, your leading the way in refusing to be reincarnated has a rather negative effect!" Wangyou said with a straight face, making up nonsense.
The problem is that one dares to speak out, and the other dares to believe it!
Meng Tian, Zhang Han, and the others behind him stared wide-eyed. Was this still their wise and mighty king? He looked as if he had been bewitched, being led by the nose by a little girl the whole time.
"If I were to reincarnate, would it allow more babies to be born across the land of China?"
"Of course, look at all your soldiers, millions of souls, that would mean millions more people would be born."
"Then how am I supposed to reincarnate? No one has told me about reincarnation. I thought I could live forever, but where in this world can one truly live forever?" Ying Zheng's tone was full of sighs about the vicissitudes of life.
He built this mausoleum for himself, hoping to gain immortality through the dragon vein and thus permanently protect the land of China. However, he ended up trapping himself for thousands of years and leaving his soldiers to wait in vain in this mausoleum for thousands of years.
“I can help you. My Xie family can repair anything, and I happen to know how to reincarnate. Why don’t you come with me first, and I’ll find a good family for you to be reincarnated into,” Wangyou continued to coax.
"Can!"
You agreed so easily, Your Majesty. Why didn't you insist a little longer?
"Let's get in here without delay!" Wangyou took out the Dragon Token and quickly put all the souls into it.
"No, you're just taking him in like this? At least let us admire his potential as the First Emperor!"
"Tch, as if you didn't see what just happened. Let's go, let's leave this place. I suddenly feel that there's no need to mine Mount Li. If we keep mining, the Dragon Kingdom's well-preserved mausoleum will be gone." Wangyou lifted her foot and walked out.
She wasn't afraid that these people wouldn't follow her; if they didn't follow her, they would surely die.
Sure enough, seeing that Wangyou had left so swiftly, the group didn't dare to linger. They left the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, and the massive tomb door closed down without a single gap. The mechanism they had used to enter was nowhere to be found.
"You guys go back first, I'll go take a walk around the martyrs' cemetery." Wangyou had a guess and wanted to confirm it.
"Patriarch Xie, do you think the declining birth rate is due to a lack of people being able to reincarnate?"
"I have that guess, but I'll only know for sure after I see it."
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need, you guys go report first, I'll just take a quick stroll and then go."
After Wangyou refused, she took out a spaceship and headed directly towards the martyrs' cemetery. It seems that Wangyou visited martyrs' cemeteries all over the country.
Sure enough, half of the tombstones in the martyrs' cemetery bear a soul, some intact, some broken, and some on the verge of disappearing.
They include those from hundreds of years ago and those from recent years.
"Senior, why didn't you reincarnate?" Wangyou asked an old man dressed in ancient military uniform.
"Little girl, can you see me?" the old man asked excitedly.
"Yes, I can see you."
"Hehe, finally someone alive has seen me. Little girl, I hope it won't cause you any harm?" the old man asked anxiously.
"No, you are covered in golden light of merit, how could you possibly harm me?"
"That's good. After all, the old folks always say that humans and ghosts are different, and it's not good for humans to stay with ghosts for too long."
"Then why haven't you been reincarnated? The New Dragon Kingdom has been established for many years, and victory has been achieved for hundreds of years. Is there still some unfulfilled wish of yours?"
"I just want to see the prosperous times so that I won't forget them after I'm reincarnated. But I can't leave this place, and it has become my obsession."
“Yes, young lady, the kids who came later say this prosperous era is wonderful. Can you tell us about it?” A young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, approached and asked. Judging from his military uniform, he was from the same era as the old man.
"Yes, they say that now every family has surplus grain and everyone can eat their fill, but I always want to see if my dad and the others have seen this new era." The boy's face was full of longing.
"What's so difficult about that? No matter how well I explain, it's still not as good as seeing it for yourself. Come with me and you'll see." A surge of anger rose in Wangyou's heart, but now was not the time to be angry.
"But we've tried so many ways, and we still can't get out of here." The boy's face showed both expectation and disappointment.
