Episode 382: The Invincible Grave Robber (2)
Yu Seol was moving to the place where the tomb was discovered with a member of the protection unit named Hyuk Richu.
I found it while digging a well within the castle, so it shouldn’t be far.
“But what happened there?”
Hyuk Richu politely put his hands together and began to explain the situation.
“At first, we just wanted to investigate what was there and then come back. There is a very large and old ancient tomb. But...”
“It’s okay, so tell me quickly.”
An unknown fear appeared on Hyeokrichu’s face as he searched for memories.
“It was a cursed tomb. “There is no doubt about it.”
“Why do you think that?”
“The ground split open and the walls moved and swallowed my three companions. “One person’s body was recovered, but the rest disappeared without a trace.”
“I will save you. “If you’re still alive.”
“Then I will just trust you, Lord Hoe. And I think it might be there...”
At that moment, Yoo Seol stopped walking and raised one hand.
“Wait.”
“...yes?”
Yu Seol’s gaze was staring somewhere.
This is because I found a familiar back in a flower garden about 30 miles away.
‘Grandpa?’
No matter how much I looked, I was sure it was my grandfather’s back.
Isn’t he walking down a flower path with a girl who appears to be his age?
Moreover, the two of them had their arms crossed.
After thinking for a moment, Yoo Seol spoke quietly with a playful expression on his face.
“Uncle, please wait here for a moment.”
“Where are you going, Lord Hoe?”
“Shh.”
I couldn’t just pass by after encountering it like this.
After killing their presence, Yuseol began to approach behind them without a sound.
It was such a secretive move that even Salsu told him to go away.
Soon after, Yoo Seol arrived within a stone’s throw of the two and shouted while suppressing laughter.
“Grandpa, what are you doing!?”
The two elderly people, who were in a state of shock, were shocked and fell asleep.
“What a surprise!”
“Oh my gosh!”
It seemed that not only Yujinsan but Baekyoran’s heart sank.
Seeing the two’s confusion, Yoo Seol held her belly button and started laughing.
“Fuhihihi.”
Jinsan Yu seemed genuinely surprised.
Who could secretly approach someone with superhuman senses? The feeling of momentary flinching was so great that I can’t express it in words.
“You thought my heart would stop!”
“Hi-Hi. surprised?”
“Ugh. “Don’t play pranks like this in the future.”
Baek Yo-ran also nodded, shaking his surprised heart.
“Grandma also thought the baby was falling. But where was our baby going?”
“I’m going to look for treasure.”
What kind of treasure is this in the castle? Jinsan Yu, who was next to him, asked in confusion.
“Treasure?”
“You didn’t hear what Grandpa said, right? They say they discovered an ancient tomb while digging a new well in the shelter. shall we go together?”
“hmm. “It’s an ancient tomb...”
Baek Yo-ran gave a signal by tapping Yu Jin-san’s back as he was worried.
This was because it was a very interesting job for a woman who specialized in handling rare items from Kangho.
“Can’t Grandma come along too? “I think it might help if you put it in.”
There was no reason to refuse. She would definitely be of help if she had the best insight in this area.
“great! “Then the three of us can go together and investigate.”
Jinsan Yu had no choice but to reluctantly join in.
“Okay, I got it. Let’s go quickly.”
* * *
The location where the ancient tomb was discovered was an open area near the northern wall of Socheonseong Fortress.
Originally, it was an area where a military camp would be built, but now that ownership of the castle has passed to Cheonyuhoe, it remains an empty lot.
Kwaaaaang-!!!
With a tremendous roar, the thick wall collapsed at once.
Baek Yo-ran muttered with a surprised face at the unimaginable strength.
“Well done baby.”
As a new passage was revealed, Yoo Seol took the lead, clapping his hands.
“Go quickly. I’m curious~”
“No, let’s go slowly. Maybe it’s a trap from here...”
Sure enough.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of something being pressed in front of me.
Sweet-!
Arrows began to pour out simultaneously from tiny holes in the left and right walls.
Papapapot-!
But to the supreme king of martial arts, these are just rusty arrows.
Yoo Seol dodged all the arrows by simply twisting his body without even looking at him.
“Fuhihi. fun!”
Was it surprising that the organ worked?
Yoo Seol started running while touching all the devices that looked like traps.
When a piece of metal fell from the ceiling, I hit it with my fist to send it flying, and when the floor caved in, I jumped lightly to avoid it.
There were endless other terrifying traps, but none of them posed any threat.
But there was nothing he could do about the worried feelings of the grandfather following behind him.
“Be careful baby!”
As soon as he finished speaking, iron bars popped out from the floor in front and behind Yuseol.
It was like being locked in a prison.
At that moment, the walls on the left and right began to narrow. It looked like they were trying to cause a stampede.
Kukukukung-!
“Yes?”
Surprised, Jinsan Yu sent a gesture to his granddaughter.
“Hurry and get out of here! hurry!”
But there was no way for the Supreme to retreat.
Yoo Seol blinked for a moment and stretched out both hands to the left and right.
A battle of power began with the walls approaching from the left and right.
“Hey!!”
Nope-! Nope-! Nope-!
The organ made a strange sound as if it was caught in something, and then stopped moving. It must be broken.
Yu Seol, who achieved victory, continued to advance with a triumphant expression.
“Ahem~ Is there anything else fun?”
Yu Jin-san and Baek Yo-ran also started chasing after them, shaking their heads excitedly.
That was when we advanced about a hundred pages further.
The group was soon able to face a huge square.
“Wow~ Grandma, what is all this!?”
Thousands of clay dolls filled the square.
Each and every soldier wearing armor and carrying weapons was incredibly detailed and seemed to be alive and moving.
Baek Yo-ran, who followed, opened his mouth in surprise and said.
“This is the Terracotta Army. Why are the soldiers protecting Qin Shi Huang here...”
“Then is this the tomb of Qin Shi Huang?”
“I don’t know what it is either. But maybe so.”
Behind her, Yu Jin-san asked in an incomprehensible tone.
“Grandma. Qin Shi Huang’s tomb is in Chang’an, right? “I understand that everything was robbed by Hang-woo?”
“It is known that way in the world, but the records of our drawing room are different.”
“So you’re saying the tomb is fake?”
Baek Yo-ran looked back on her memories and explained what she knew.
“The first order that Qin Shi Huang, who came to the throne at the age of thirteen, was to build a tomb for himself. “The resentment must have been great because they plundered and mobilized the people over a period of thirty years.”
“What does that matter?”
“Think about it, brother. Didn’t the emperor, who dreamed of posthumous glory so much, consider the risk of being robbed by his grudge-bearing descendants?”
“then.... “After drawing the world’s attention with a fake tomb, they created a secret tomb here?”
Baek Yoran’s head slowly nodded.
“I mean, it could be that way. But if the hypothesis is true, there must be great treasure hidden here.”
Qin Shi Huang’s treasure? I couldn’t even imagine what was hidden there.
At that moment, Yoo Seol’s eyes sparkled like stars in the darkness.
