Chapter 34: Twelve Masks!

Let’s tease old Qin a bit.

"In the year 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang gathered soldiers from all over the country at Xianyang, melted them down to make twelve Gold Men, each weighing a thousand stones, and placed them in the royal palace."

"The story I am about to tell starts from here."

When Middle-aged heard Chen Ye’s words, he paused for a moment, "Are you really going to tell a story?"

"Qin Shi Huang… When did he ever cast twelve Gold Men?"

Huh?

Is the history of this world different from the past life?

How can I continue the story like this?

No, it’s so awkward. Should we just silence someone?

"Since…"

Before Chen Ye could finish, a message suddenly came through the middle-aged man’s earphones.

"There really is?"

The middle-aged man was completely confused, then looked at Chen Ye with a puzzled expression.

"Um… Just now I received a message, saying that during the exploration of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor three days ago, the Twelve Copper Men were indeed found."

"But, didn’t you mention a Gold Man?"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, wondering if these people were deliberately giving him a way out.

Hmm… doesn’t seem like it.

Middle-aged people might not know, but if he hadn’t answered quickly just now, he might have been in big trouble.

Literally translated, it means a head falling to the ground.

This darned will to survive.

"During the First Emperor period, when they said gold, they meant bronze."

"But do you know, what is the most precious thing in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"

The middle-aged man thought for a long time, "Is it the terracotta warriors and horses?"

Chen Ye laughed, "Wrong, it’s the twelve masks on the faces of the Twelve Copper Men."

The middle-aged man puzzled, "Twelve masks?"

Chen Ye, "Well, why don’t you guess why I knew there would be Twelve Copper Men here?"

"The answer is simple, because the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has already been robbed, and the most valuable twelve masks have been taken."

"The ability that drives the Ghost Shadow Corps comes from these twelve masks."

"Surprised, why do I know all this?"

"Let someone else listen, someone with a higher position."

The middle-aged man was surprised, but before he could say anything, the old man who arrested Chen Ye suddenly walked in.

"Let me handle the rest of the questioning… conversation, you can leave now."

The two Shadow Soldiers released the middle-aged man and silently moved aside.

"Elder Hai…"

"It’s okay, you can go out first."

The old man sat down instead of the middle-aged man and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Cheng Haixing. Can you guarantee that everything you just said is true?"

Chen Ye laughed, "Words can be true, it depends on whether you believe them or not."

"My abilities come from the twelve masks. Anyone who wears a mask can have the same abilities as me."

Cheng Haixing quickly asked, "Just like the mask on your face?"

Chen Ye, "Exactly."

Cheng Haixing, "Okay, I believe you. So, can you tell me the origin of these masks?"

Chen Ye waved his hand and called a Shadow Soldier, who brought a cup of coffee to him directly.

However, he suddenly remembered that this was not his real body.

Shadow Soldier couldn’t drink coffee, so he gave it to Cheng Haixing directly.

"Qin Shi Huang thought highly of himself, believing he was greater than the Five Emperors and more virtuous than the Three Sovereigns. He claimed to be the First Emperor, thinking no one in the world dared to oppose him."

"Ying Zheng was the ruler when he was born, uniting Six Countries. He enjoyed great glory and naturally wanted to live forever as the eternal ruler."

"So he invited talented people from all over the world to make Elixir of Immortality for him."

"Among these talented individuals, there was a powerful wizard named Xu Fu."

"Qin Shi Huang valued Xu Fu’s abilities greatly and sent him overseas to search for the legendary Penglai Fairy Island to ask the immortals for Elixir of Immortality."

"But he was afraid that by the time Xu Fu returned, he would already be old and could not wait for the secret to eternal life."

"So, Qin Shi Huang issued a decree to Xu Fu."

"He asked Xu Fu to make thirteen masks, and to leave his soul in one of them."

"Xu Fu was told to put the spirits of three brave generals from the Qin Dynasty into twelve masks."

"Then Ying Zheng ordered the construction of a royal tomb, made Twelve Copper Men and numerous stone statues, and put souls of living people into the statues to create ghost soldiers who would obey him even after his death!"

"Qin Shi Huang also wanted to be an immortal emperor, but if he couldn’t live forever, he would become a ghost emperor after death."

"Soon after, the first emperor fell."

"Xu Fu couldn’t find the legendary Penglai Fairy Island or the Elixir of Immortality."

"But Xu Fu still fulfilled the first emperor’s wish by using great magic to create thirteen masks before the end of the Qin Dynasty."

"Twelve of the masks were sealed in the royal tomb, hung on the Twelve Copper Men, and the mask on my face is one of them."

"Nobody knows where Xu Fu hid the mask of Qin Shi Huang, it remains a mystery until today."

"Ying Zheng once said that he was also an emperor when alive, and after death, he would be a powerful ghost with a million ghost soldiers under his command."

"A hundred years later, a prophet said,"

"After the First Emperor appears in the world, twelve Ghost Generals will find their king and help him rise again in the underworld, gaining new life!"

"But once the thirteen masks are gathered together, the whole world will be shrouded in ultimate darkness."

Chen Ye gathered knowledge from past lives, made up a story, making it hard for people in this world to tell what’s true or false.

Cheng Haixing couldn’t tell the truth either for there are no detailed historical records in this world, only bits and pieces of history!

Many things are filled in by modern historians themselves.

And Chen Ye just created an information gap.

As for his purpose…

It’s very simple.

Because it’s fun.

Since these people are so free, they insisted on inviting him to the station for tea.

So, Chen Ye decided to have some fun with these people.

He wanted to create twelve masks in real life, and then randomly give them to twelve destined people.

To perform a real-life version of Old Duie Chan’s adventures.

As for whether they can handle it, it’s no longer Chen Ye’s concern.

He’s only responsible for causing trouble, the rest is up to fate, no, it should be up to the system.

When they’ve played enough.

Chen Ye went to create a small island in the Pacific Ocean, added some illusions, making it impossible for others to see this island at all.

And so, Chen Ye completely disappeared from this world.

By that time, unless he wanted to show himself, no one could find him.

After hearing Chen Ye’s story, a group of people fell into deep thought.

It’s not about doubting the truth of this story, but about the name mentioned in the story.

Xu Fu.
