Chapter 426 The Soldiers of Chu Kingdom
“Sha sha…..”
I raised my sword, and took Matcha and Li Mu into the bushes. Us three heavy armor types rushed in between rows of ancient totem poles with Dragon Tongue words inscribed on the sides. Screams of agony came from all four directions. On top of that, the sound of a system notification travelled across the horizon, as if to warn us ——
“Ding!”
System Notification: You have entered the dangerous zone [Grave of the Warring States]!
Map Description: Grave of the Warring States, during the pre-ancient Warring States Period this was the burial site of four extremely talented heroes. Not only is this place inhabited with numerous souls of soldiers, but it is also filled with intelligent Spectres. Please be extremely careful. They have been suffering the agonizing flames of hell for over ten thousand years, and their hearts have been filled with vengeance. Once their seals have been released they will bring destruction to the human world.
……
“Where’s the entrance?” Matcha asked as she inquisitively blinked a few times.
I shook my head, “I still haven’t figured it out. Everyone come over here, and split up to look for the entrance….”
Wan Er lifted her Dragon’s Kiss dagger and passed by my shoulder. She gave me a sweet smile and didn’t say anything, but I could tell that her heart was filled with joy. After the battle with Ou Yang Chuan at Fortune Mountain Villa, the relationship between Wan Er and I was a step closer. Even though our hearts seemed to understand this emotion, neither of us was willing to break the status quo, as we are afraid that once it changes there will be no way of continuing the relationship.
After looking around, we counted that there was a total of 27 totem poles. In the middle of them all, there was an enormous statue of a Dragon Turtle. But, as if a mountain had moved, the Dragon Turtle’s head had vanished, and was replaced by the statue of a hero. This was to display the ferocity of an ancient general. In the hand of the general, was a sword that cut into the earth. On top of that, the blade had two Zhuang* words written on it. I couldn’t tell what they said.
*TL Note: A type of ancient calligraphy
“What kind of words are those? Does anyone recognize them?” I asked.
Wan Er shook her head, “I don’t…”
Matcha walked up and wiped the dust off of one of the characters. She furrowed her brow and said, “I think….. it means “Eh Lai”….”
“Eh Lai?” Li Mu was shocked. “Isn’t Eh Lai a famous general from the Shang Dynasty? Why would he be here? Based on historic texts, the Warring States period didn’t come until after the Zhou Dynasty. There’s at least several hundred years between the Shang Dynasty and the Warring States Period… There shouldn’t be any connection between the two, right?”
I shook my head, “No, there actually is a connection.”
Wan Er’s jaw dropped, “What connection?”
I thought about it for a second, then said, “I remember… that I read a history book before. In it, it was recorded that the Qin Dynasty’s royal family’s ancestor is Eh Lai from the Shang Dynasty. In other words, the famous general is the ancestor of Qin Mu Gong, Qin Xiao Gong, and Qin Shi Huang. The fact that Eh Lai’s statue is here is without question that he’s here to seal the four ghosts of the Four Noblemen. This Grave of the Warring States should have been created by the Qin dynasty, and so they used Eh Lai’s soul to seal this grave. Like this, it would easily explain why he was here.”
Dong Cheng Yue chuckled: “This I know… Cao Cao once called his powerful generals Dian Wei, “Ancient Eh Lai.” This proves that Eh Lai was indeed very powerful, right Brother Xiao Yao?”
I nodded and chuckled: “That’s about right, Everybody look closely around the Eh Lai idol. The entrance to the “Grave of the Warring States” should be close by.”
“Yeah!”
The group split off to search for the entrance, while I continuously stabbed the sedimentary ground with my sword. With the sound of “Keng, Keng, Keng”, it allowed me to confirm that the material this place was made of was stone. Then after stabbing for awhile, the Emperor’s Qin Sword suddenly sunk deep into the sediment. Was there a gap or a hole there? That’s weird, Ancient Chinese constructions were more bulky and sturdy than the flimsy and inferior material used currently. There’s no way that there should be a defect similar to that of modern constructions.
I dug out the sediment furiously and rapidly as if I were possessed. Very quickly a 3 cm slot appeared in my vision. I forced the Emperor’s Qin sword into the slot. A “Pu Che” rang out as the sword fit into the slot. I pulled the sword out, and instantly a big piece of stone on the ground slowly moved and rumbled out of the way. There was a blood red glow that shined from a small opening that previously had not been there. Found it!
“Everybody, come over. The entrance has appeared!
