Chapter 60 Arriving in Xian

  Insufficient balance

  Although Tang Hao has become a monk, he still feels some mystery when he hears about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. As the largest imperial mausoleum on earth, the terracotta warriors and horses alone could be considered one of the eight wonders of the world, so what will the innermost part of the mausoleum look like?

  But the imperial mausoleum of the mundane world can actually shock the cultivators to come and protect it, then the things inside are probably not as simple as what I heard before.

  It is recorded that when the First Emperor first ascended to the throne, he began to work on the Lishan Mountain. After unifying the world, more than 700,000 laborers were sent there. They dug through three underground springs and used copper to make a coffin, which was placed inside a palace with all sorts of strange and precious objects. Skilled craftsmen made crossbows and arrows, shooting anyone who approached too closely. Mercury was used to create the Hundred Rivers, the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and the Great Ocean, with machines pumping them into each other. The ceiling was adorned with celestial bodies, while the floor had geographical features. Human fat was used as candles, which burned for a long time without going out.

  This is written from the perspective of ordinary people, but upon closer inspection, the structure within is hardly something that ordinary people at that time could have accomplished. Whether it was piercing through three springs to reach the coffin or using mercury as rivers, streams and seas, the productive forces of ordinary people at that time were probably unable to accomplish this.

  So, perhaps during the Qin Dynasty, there were still some remaining cultivators who relied on the few remaining spiritual resources on this earth to barely survive.

  "What happened?" Tang Hao's interest was piqued.

  According to reliable sources, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has recently been frequently explored by unknown spiritual forces. When nearby monks went to investigate, nothing was found. Therefore, we deduce that there is a hidden force that has been eyeing the Mausoleum for a long time.

  Tang Hao shook his head and said: "In that case, this is just your speculation. If those great thieves don't show up one day, then I'll have to keep guarding there?"

  Aike Busy explained: "Recently, the number of mysterious divine investigations has increased sharply, so we speculate that they will take action this month. Moreover, if it exceeds a month, we will use other rewards to compensate. Of course, after a month, if nothing happens, the fairy can leave and the reward will not be less."

  Tang Hao picked up the jade slip, marked his own name - Zhong Ying, and asked: "Is it just me? In the country of Luofeng Sect, I'm afraid there's not just one person like me."

  Ai Ke smiled and said, "How is that possible? Although the other Dao friends of your noble sect are not well-versed in their cultivation, our Ling Xiu Bureau has sent some additional manpower. I believe we can make those rodents die one by one."

  Tang Hao nodded, packed up his things, tidied himself up and set off on the road with Ai Ke and Guo Kuang.

  After several transfers, the plane finally arrived in this familiar yet strange city. I still remember coming here to visit classmates during the National Day holiday, but at that time, it was the Golden Week and everywhere was crowded. Although I did see the famous Terracotta Warriors, I didn't have a chance to appreciate them thoroughly.

  After another round of detours, Tang Huan finally arrived at the foot of Mount Li, still with the familiar Terracotta Warriors, tourists were still visiting as usual, unaware that a dramatic change was about to take place here.

  "How come there's no curfew around here?" Tang Hao asked in puzzlement.

  Ai Ke explained: "If we don't film the thieves, then we'll film the memories of the thieves. If they don't appear, we won't be stuck closing down all the time, after all it's not good to explain to outsiders."

  Tang Hao didn't say a word, after all this was a world where cultivators and ordinary people coexisted. Ordinary people also had their own power, it wasn't something that cultivators could control with just one sentence. The Lingxiu Bureau could only remain highly vigilant.

  Tang Hao took a glance around and found that those police-like people were all cultivators, only their cultivation was merely at the Qi Refining stage of 5th or 6th layer. These people were also elite troops drawn from various places.

  But thinking about it, the time for the earth's spiritual energy to recover is limited, and the resources for cultivating immortality are still very scarce. Being able to cultivate up to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining stage is already quite good.

  These police officers are very respectful to Ai Ke and Guo Kuang, it seems they are the people in charge here. Looking at the lineup in front of him, Tang Huan's heart feels a bit empty, not knowing if this mysterious organization is something those island nation people are behind. If it isn't, then that would be troublesome. Even small islands like theirs can produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone larger continents.

  However, since Tang Hao had agreed to it, he wouldn't go back on his word now. Moreover, the formation patterns on his clothes were quite powerful, especially the Concealment Formation and the Swift Movement Formation. This gave Tang Hao confidence that even if there really was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as long as they weren't targeting him specifically, he could leave calmly.

  Ai Ke led Tang Hao into a conference room after settling him down.

  In the conference room, there was a strong sense of isolation and secrecy. Everyone spoke freely without any reserve. Below the stage, there were dozens of monks dressed in police uniforms, apparently responsible for protecting the imperial tomb.

  "This is Lvyong Zong who has come to help, Zhong Xianzi. From now on, her orders are my orders, do you understand?" Zhong Ying said.

  "Yes, Captain Ai."

  Then Ai Ke made some personnel arrangements, and Tang Hao only needed to wait nearby, as long as there was a sudden situation, he would appear at any time. Tang Hao was happy to have a leisurely day off, so he stayed in the house.

  As soon as I opened my laptop and connected to Wi-Fi, I heard a knock at the door.

  Tang Hao opened the door and saw it was Ai Ke, so he invited him into the room.

  "Ai smiled and said: 'I didn't disturb Miss Xianzi, did I?'"

  Tang Hao shook his head and said: "Just idle... no... bored, when Ai Zong appeared."

  "Ai Ke said: "What's with the 'Ai-zhang' stuff? If Fairy Sister doesn't mind, I'll just call you Zhong-jie and you can call me Little Ke-mei."

  Sister? Tang Hao suddenly remembered that he used to call Qin Si Ruo "Si Ruo sister", and the word "sister" seemed to have become his catchphrase, so he just smiled and said: "I'll still call you Xiao Ke."

  Yi Ke was taken aback and said: "I was too abrupt."

  Tang Hao hastily explained: "I didn't mean it that way, it's just that my sister reminds me of someone."

  Ai Ke smiled and said: "Then I'll call you Zhong sister, really envy Zhong sister, not only beautiful but also a disciple of a famous school."

  Tang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "What a famous sect's disciple, I'm just the abandoned son of Luan Feng Sect. Who can compare to you, a beautiful and strong woman?"

  Ai couldn't help but laugh and then asked somewhat embarrassedly: "Zhong jie, what are the recruitment standards for Luan Feng Sect?"

  Tang Hao was taken aback, so Ai Ke's real idea was this. Thinking about it, many women with some charm are either thinking of marrying a rich man or using every means to climb up. However, Tang Hao couldn't say that out loud, so he truthfully said: "The standard for the initial selection is a Xuan-level or above spiritual root."

  "Ai Ke excitedly said: 'After that's all done, pull me in, I'm a terrestrial fire spirit root, exceeding your standards.'"

  It seems that Ai Ke had investigated beforehand, and Zhong Ying was in charge of selecting disciples. However, Tang Huang still asked: "Isn't it good here? The Earth will eventually develop, and perhaps by then, it will even surpass Kunlun, and the domestic cultivation world will become extremely powerful."

  Ai Ke sighed: "This place indeed has great potential, but it's not free at all. Moreover, no matter how well you do, you won't get praised by the leaders because they want to elevate their status by belittling you. Besides, the distribution of cultivation resources here is unfair. The children of the upper class, no matter how poor their spiritual roots are, will have a lot of cultivation resources, while ordinary cultivators, no matter how good their spiritual roots are, can only pick up some leftover scraps."

  Tang Hao instantly resonated with this, after all he was once a salaried worker too. Tang Hao said: "It's not time for the selection yet, next March is the preliminary round, you can come find me directly or go to Lvfeng Sect directly, if you can afford spirit stones."

  Ai Ke listened and exclaimed with joy: "Thank you, Zhong sister, I won't disturb you anymore."

  Tang Hao shook his head, although he didn't like this kind of woman, but also wouldn't deprive her of the opportunities she deserved.

  Tang Hao suddenly felt like going out for a walk. The weather had already reached October, and Tang Hao was still wearing a thin dress, although he wouldn't freeze to death, he would be taken as a weirdo.

  Tang Hao didn't want this, so he took out a sweater from his storage bag and put it on, then pulled out a silk stocking.

  Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, this thing had been refined long ago, but he always had a knot in his heart. Tang Hao took a deep breath and still put it on.

  A strange feeling of tightly wrapped thighs came over him, making Tang Hao want to vent on the bed first, but Tang Hao quickly calmed down. The ban here is too bad, so let's endure it for now.

  Tang Hao put on a pair of princess shoes and blended into the crowd, pretending to be a tourist.
