Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 23 The Terrifying Twelve Golden Men!

It comes from Daqin.

Qin Dynasty

Qin Dynasty, ah, Qin Dynasty….
It was an extremely brilliant era, but also an era of countless collisions of ideas.

Confucianism, Legalism, Yin-Yang School, Mohist mechanical arts...
The various schools of thought are extremely famous.

However, the things and ideas produced by the various schools of thought will continue to exist for thousands of years.

The Lu Ban lock from the Qin Dynasty is still used in later generations.

The order from the Qin Dynasty is still useful in later generations.

The imperial system from the Qin Dynasty lasted for a thousand years and marked the beginning of the true feudal era.

From the Qin Dynasty….
There are too many things in later generations that are extensions and changes of the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty seemed to last only more than twenty years, but it left behind numerous treasures and indelible influences on the land of China.

And these twelve golden men are one of them.

It was created by the Mohist school and was made using the long-lost Mohist mechanical technique.

It is rumored.

Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty.

It refers to the twelve large bronze statues that were cast after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and collected all the soldiers in the world to prevent people from rebelling.

There is also a saying that Qin Shihuang used it to prevent the circulation of metals and collected metals from all over the world to cast it. There is also a legend that Qin Huang used the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great to cast it.

These twelve golden men,
According to historical records, the expressions are lifelike and realistic. The weights of the golden men vary, with the smallest being about three tons and the largest being over eight tons. Their heights range from 3 meters to 8 meters.

Some people in later generations speculated that the number "12" in the Twelve Golden Men may contain the meaning of unifying the world, maintaining a stable country, and a great cause that will last for thousands of years.

It is a pity that the whereabouts of these Jin people who left traces in history books are still unknown.

There are currently two theories about the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden Men.

One theory is that after Xiang Yu conquered Xianyang and burned down the Afang Palace, the twelve golden men were burned.

Another version is that Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty destroyed ten golden men in order to cast copper coins.

Dong Zhuo used ten golden men to make a large number of low-quality copper coins and put them into the market, causing prices to soar and the people to live in dire straits.

During the Dong Zhuo period, the price of grain rose to several million coins per hu. Before that, the price of grain was only a dozen coins per hu.

This statement is the most likely.

This is also a statement that Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, agrees with today.

But whenever Li Shimin talked about the amazing Twelve Golden Men of the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't help feeling regretful.

And now….
The Twelve Golden Men appeared here! !

It was not destroyed by Xiang Yu, nor was it burned by Dong Zhuo who minted coins.

The First Emperor, the First Emperor!

he!
He actually put the twelve golden men into the ancient tomb to guard Qin Changye!
Incredible and unbelievable!

now.

The Meng family's ancient books had already explained this, and Meng Xing had read them many times. The so-called Twelve Golden Men were a story in an ancient tomb.

He was also extremely shocked!

This shock comes from the bottom of my heart, and also from the fear deep in my soul!

Because what you see in the book and what you see in reality are completely different things.

What kind of experience would it be to have a mechanical giant that is almost ten meters tall, with red eyes and wielding a sword, standing right in front of you?

Countless surveys have shown that people subconsciously fear things that are taller than themselves.

It is like some women in later generations looking for a sense of security in tall men, people looking up at tall buildings will feel awe, and people will only think of running away when they see a tiger...
In human genes,
From beginning to end, it is filled with fear of tall things.

This is instinct and cannot be erased!
Especially now that there is a living giant nearly ten meters tall, coming with murderous intent, this... this is a complete terrible nightmare!

"How could... How could there be such a giant!?"

Li Junxian stared at the giant in a daze, almost as if he couldn't see the end of him. Then he seemed to come to his senses and shouted loudly: "Run, run!"

Under his command, everyone kept moving away from the ten-meter-tall giant.

Go back the way you came!

Plan to withdraw from here! Fortunately, although the giant is very oppressive, its movement ability is slow, so the group, including the Jinwu Guards who went to explore at the beginning, can easily get away from the giant.

But before they could rejoice,

There was a slight vibration from the floor beneath my feet.

"Dong dong dong..."

Rhythmic and extremely slow.

The sound was getting louder and louder, and was approaching them.

This made Li Junxian's heart sink: "No way, is there more?"

Meng Xing beside him smiled bitterly and said, "Of course there is, otherwise... why would we meet the twelve golden men?"

Li Junxian swallowed his saliva, looking at a loss: "The First Emperor... actually used such a horrible thing here, he... he..."

Li Junxian didn't know what to say.

While he was hesitating, golden giants with red eyes appeared from several directions around him.

The smallest one is three meters tall, and the largest one is the golden man just now, which is ten meters long!

Twelve in total.
Not one less, they kept surrounding them.

Li Junxian stared at them in a daze.

His martial arts skills were extraordinary and he was well-known in the entire palace. That was why Li Shimin arranged for him to protect his family.

But such a powerful person,
Facing these Jin people, I couldn't muster the slightest desire to fight.

of course,

Maybe.

And that,

You can only retreat when you are in a desperate situation and fight to the death!
"Commander, it's my fault. I put us in trouble!"

The Jinwu Guard who had led the way just now had a bitter look on his face.

Li Junxian took a deep breath and said, "You are right. Someone has to do the exploration."

"Besides, in this situation, it's not the time to talk about who is right or wrong."

"Brother Meng, your Meng family is the guardian of this ancient tomb. Even the plaque that just came in said that your Meng family will be fine if they enter the ancient tomb. How should we solve this problem now? Do you have any ideas?"

Li Junxian placed his last bit of hope on the two members of the Meng family.

At this moment, he no longer doubted whether the two people were the ones who kidnapped Xiao Sizi.

There is no other reason!

The twelve golden men before us are enough to dispel all doubts.

If they kidnapped Xiao Sizi here, then these twelve golden men would be accomplices of the Meng family. If the Meng family had these twelve golden men, how could the family have fallen into the current situation?
Moreover,
There are countless heroes, including the Twelve Golden Men that Li Shimin has been pursuing for a long time. Now they are in the hands of the descendants of the Meng family. The Meng family's address is in the south, and the Twelve Golden Men are in the imperial city, out of reach. Who can believe that the Twelve Golden Men are from the Meng family?
"I...I don't know either."

"I don't know! There's no record of it in ancient books!"

Meng Xing held his head, feeling very frustrated.

It also collapsed.

This made Li Junxian feel as if he was falling into an ice cellar.

In front.

Close, getting closer.

Li Junxian looked at the golden man with a solemn and cold gaze.

There is no other way now, we can only fight to the death.

The other Jinwu Guards also held the same view.

In the face of despair,
After a brief period of confusion, they became determined and did not collapse or complain about the world.

Just because of them,

They are the imperial guards of General Tiance!

Only the strongest in the army and those who are not afraid of sacrifice can join!
