Chapter 265 The secret of the emperor?Forty boys and girls!
At this moment, the most courageous Wang Jinpeng volunteered to step on the coffin to see what was inside.
He checked it over and then said to Zhenbao: "Master Zhenbao, there is a pull ring here. Come and take a look."
Under the pillow just now, there was a layer of cloth, but when the cloth was lifted, a structure like a stone door appeared in front of everyone.
Zhenbao eagerly climbed onto the coffin, studied it for a while, and said, "Everyone, this may be the real entrance to the tomb!"
It turned out to be a serial tomb!
Lin Ran had only heard about it in Lu Yingjie's notes, but he didn't expect that this tomb was a rare serial tomb.
Everything outside is just decoration.
In their view, treasures with continuous value were just more expensive luxuries in the Tang Dynasty.
The real belongings must have been buried beside the tomb owner.
Jumbo lifted the tab, tried to rotate it or pull it back, but the door did nothing.
Lin Ran suddenly asked: "Could it be pushing in?"
"Can the pull ring still be pushed in?" Zhenbao felt confused, but he still tried it.
At this time, the sound of a mechanism came from the coffin.
A click sound ended, and the shackles of the stone door disappeared.
Wang Jinpeng opened the door easily, and a passageway intersection appeared in front of everyone.
what is this?
Lin Ran was shocked. He had never been to Li Ji's tomb in his previous life, but he had been to other tombs.
Even the imperial mausoleum was not designed in this way. Could it be that Tang Zhongzong gave Li Ji more treatment than the emperor?
Moreover, he has not seen the treasures unearthed in his previous life.
Only by going inside can you know the truth!
The tomb within the tomb was originally dark and dark, but the steps in front of them gave them the feeling of leading to hell, making it even bleaker.
Liu Jingfeng said: "Since everyone is here, let's continue exploring inside."
He originally thought that opening the main tomb would end his tomb robbing journey.
It seems that he still underestimated the value of this large tomb.
This step is also a spiral structure. It goes down thirty steps in a row, about five meters down.
According to previous measurements, he should be about 30 meters underground now.
Not only is the climate here humid, but there is also a biting coolness, and there is an indescribable strange smell in the air.
On both sides of the tomb passage, there are exquisite colorful murals.
Different from the murals outside showing generals and ministers, the murals here are all paintings of enjoyment.
But there is one particularly eerie one.
There are about forty boys and girls painted on it. The reason why they feel eerie is because they have no eyes and have weird smiles.
This made Lin Ran even more puzzled.
The boys and girls reminded him of Xu Fu.
This man was a close disciple of Guiguzi. He was entrusted by Qin Shihuang to take boys and girls overseas to seek the art of immortality.
There was more than 800 years between him and the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to set up a mausoleum for him, it would not make sense either emotionally or rationally.
So what happened to these boys and girls?
As the tunnel became damp, everyone slowed down and became more cautious.
Seeing the strange murals, these people also felt terrified.
"Boss, what is this?" Wang Jinpeng turned pale with fright and was afraid to move forward.
Liu Jingfeng was also shocked by the mural, but he said: "It may be because it is too humid here and the mural has been damaged, which is why such a horrific scene occurred."
He wasn't sure, but this mural was too weird.
Although it shows the artist's superb painting skills, the pictures are really incredible.
"Don't be afraid." Zhenbao took out an amulet from his arms and handed it to Wang Jinpeng, "This is the amulet of our sect. As long as you carry it with you, you don't have to worry about evil spirits entering your body."
Wang Jinpeng quickly took it and put it in his breast pocket, feeling a little more at ease.
Zhenbao said: "The tomb here uses a circular tomb passage. I really can't understand the design of the tomb owner."
"Brother Lin, I wonder what you think of this matter?" Zhenbao asked Lin Ran proactively.
Lin Ran was thinking about the mural.
"There are two possibilities for burials here," he said.
"The first one is that Li Ji's tomb has been moved. This secret door is the place to go to his real tomb."
"Well, it is indeed possible." Everyone nodded, this explanation made sense.
"Another possibility is..." Lin Ran thought to himself, why did Tang Zhongzong give Li Ji a grand burial.
I'm afraid it's to deceive others!
He hid some secrets underground. For example, he was afraid of death, so he also secretly sought the art of immortality.
In the Tang Dynasty, when Buddhist culture was prevalent, privately studying the Taoist method of immortality was a treasonous and unethical act.
Therefore, he took the opportunity of Li Ji's grand burial to build a secret base here specifically for research.
But he did not tell anyone else about this speculation, but said: "Maybe this is Tang Zhongzong's treasure house."
After all, the person who built his tomb has been identified as Tang Zhongzong.
The structure of the mausoleum was also finalized by him. If he wanted to hide other organs inside, naturally only Tang Zhongzong could do it.
This guess made everyone even more delighted.
Not only did they descend into a large tomb, but they also discovered the secret treasure of an ancient king in the tomb?
Liu Jingfeng couldn't help but said: "Brother Lin, how confident are you?"
"I'm not sure." Lin Ran said, stroking the mural on the wall, "But it's definitely not what Li Ji needs."
In front of them, a stone door appeared again.
There is also a pattern on the stone gate.
Zhenbao's eyes lit up and he said: "This is exactly the mysterious formation diagram left by Guiguzi!"
His sect is also inextricably linked to Gui Guzi, so he was naturally very excited when he saw the pattern left by his master.
He didn't even care about Liu Jingfeng's thoughts and said to himself: "This is a map of the Eighteen Constellations. It is divided into categories according to the yin and yang of heaven and earth. It is more practical to use the Bagua Qiankun as a mystery...wonderful!"
This was the first time for everyone to see him so enthusiastic, and they were too embarrassed to step forward to interrupt.
It was Liu Jingfeng who said: "Jewel, if you like it, you can go back and study it slowly. What's more important for us now is to find a way to enter."
Zhenbao came to his senses and said, "Actually, the answer to the riddle has already been written on the door."
He pointed to an eyeless boy on the mural: "Push his eyes with two fingers to open the secret door."
So this is what the mural means?
No wonder it looks so weird. It turns out that it is just designed with a special pattern, which can be used as a switch and to scare away the ignorant.
But this mural is too weird. Wang Jinpeng is okay, but he has to stand at the front of the team.
Xu Ning was a little shy, as if she was afraid of ghosts and gods and didn't dare to touch the weird murals.
So Lin Ran volunteered and decided to take on the task.
Following the guidance of the treasure, we came to the eighth boy.
Looking closely, these boys and girls not only have no eyes, but also have strange curves at the corners of their mouths.
There is an indescribable feeling of terror in the tomb again!
