Chapter 283: The giant underground door
Dark, lightless, and thickly cold.
The air is filled with chilly moisture. If Yan Wangsheng, who suffers from rheumatism, were placed here, he would probably scream in pain immediately.
Zuo Chen felt the wind blowing in his face. He knew that he was in the middle of a long corridor, with a road ahead and a road behind him.
He looked back at the ceiling behind him.
There is a very conspicuous large hole on it.
Zuo Chen could feel that the stone slabs around the mausoleum were attached with sealing spells. They should be a degraded version of "turning the ground into steel" and were specially used to prevent soil walkers from getting into the mausoleum and carrying them. Mountain.
It turns out that Zuo Chen's "Earth Movement Technique" is not about wandering in the earth, but about transforming all things.
Protection method?
The bricks were knocked open by force.
Even if he was as thick-skinned as Zuo Chen, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
With a wave of his hand, the broken stone slab immediately grew like a living plant, and in the blink of an eye it was restored to integrity, as if no one had ever visited it.
Later, some tricks were added to prevent future thieves from entering from here.
After doing all this, Zuo Chen walked along the corridor.
The long corridor is connected to one empty room after another. These houses are wide and huge, and the entire space is no smaller than the entire Yaochi Building where Zuo Chen lives today.
The various decoration styles in these empty rooms are different, and some are prosperous and gorgeous. Entering them, you can see ceramic soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords, guarding a pure gold coffin in the middle.
There is something extraordinary about poetry. After entering the empty room, what comes into view is the faint blue light. A small blue lake is placed in the center of the house. There is a small island in the center of the lake. On the island There was a mahogany coffin and a locust tree was planted next to the coffin. Red strips were tied to the top of the tree. The wind blowing from nowhere made it sway slightly.
Some of them are simply empty rooms with nothing in them except the polished stone walls.
Obviously these empty rooms are still waiting for the new emperor to be buried and buried in them.
Walking around, Zuo Chen discovered that there were a total of thirty-three empty chambers here, and now there were seventeen chambers with coffins inside, with different styles.
If it is left to future generations, someone will unfurl a banner at the door and buy tickets to make money.
Of course, Zuo Chen didn't make any mistakes. Every time he passed the big house, he bowed and saluted inside and said "Sorry."
Even if you are ghost-free, you must at least be polite when entering someone else's tomb like this.
After looking around, Zuo Chen suddenly felt a little strange:
The emperors are all aloof and arrogant. If given the chance, they will definitely choose a geomantic treasure land for themselves to build large-scale construction projects, which will waste people and money. After that, he created a "great" cemetery for future generations to admire. At the same time, he could command thousands of armies under the Nine Netherworld and enjoy the bliss of the world.
They would probably do this until the last emperor died suddenly in the wilderness.
Pay attention to the emperor's ancestral hall. What is enshrined in it is definitely not a corpse, but a tablet is obviously more likely.
Then why did Emperor Liang choose to be buried together?
If someone told Zuo Chen that this was because the Liang emperors had a strong family concept and believed that a family should be buried together, then Zuo Chen would definitely not believe it.
And...
Zuo Chen put his hand on the wall next to him.
The part of the ceiling that I just repaired was obviously new, but now these walls look old.
This mausoleum...
It is more like being built on top of an ancient corpse.
He then remembered that he seemed to have a question that he had never asked Li Ji.
Where is the ancient city surrounded by seven great cities?
Conjectures came to mind, but Zuo Chen only felt that something was evil.
Using the method of shrinking the ground into an inch, Zuo Chen quickly walked around the entire tomb and looked at every corner.
In addition to the coffin room that we have already seen more than half of, there is an open space in the middle of the entire mausoleum. There is a huge long table in the open space, and the long table is covered with some old rags. , there are three rows of tablets on top, twelve in the bottom row, five in the middle, and one on the top dedicated to the founding emperor.
Directly in front of the long table is an upward corridor, with a slight night breeze blowing down from above. Going up here should be the interior of the palace.
Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else worthy of Zuo Chen's attention.
Not here?
Frowning, he walked around in circles twice.
Suddenly, Zuo Chen noticed that something was wrong.
The ceiling is new...
The floors are new too!
With a slight movement in his heart, Zuo Chen used the "Earth Movement Technique" again and began to rush downwards.
In just a moment, Zuo Chen felt his feet were empty.
After he came back to his senses, Zuo Chen felt a burst of bright light in front of his eyes.
He saw a huge hole.
The entire cavity was several times larger than the tomb above. The surrounding walls were carved with intricate patterns, and light blue light flowed through the patterns, like blood in the blood vessels, pumping straight to the heart.
And this heart...
It is a door standing on the hollow wall!
This is a huge stone door with no patterns on it. The dark blue flowing on the surrounding walls rolls into the gaps of the stone door, moving with the waves like rivers.
Zuo Chen fell to the ground, walked to the door, stretched out his hand and held it down.
He still remembered that when he was in the northern plains of Youzhou, he discovered a deep cave.
There is also a stone door in the cave. Except for the size, it is exactly the same as the one in front of me.
This was created by ancient monks who stuck themselves underground
Now, Liu Quande and Hu Wen are studying that door, but they did not expect to see a complete door here. Same.
I'm afraid it's not a coincidence.
In Zuo Chen's field of vision, there was a thin line of Qi breath spiraling upwards in the crack of the door, stretching out a long line directly to the sky.
This is the line connecting the little emperor.
Staring at this long line, Zuo Chen is now...
He feels itchy,
Very itchy.
He really wanted to push the door open and see what was inside.
According to Zuo Chen's perception of Qi breath, the Tiangong technique above the gate is almost exactly the same as the one underground in the north.
In other words, as long as Zuo Chen violently dismantles the door, everything behind the door will disappear in an instant.
I am afraid that the sleeping little emperor above me will die immediately and become a real corpse.
Suppressing the urge to move in his heart, he finally just left a little aura mark here, and then used his magic to leap up from the ground dozens of feet deep, and reappeared on the palace ground.
Leaved the palace and returned to his residence.
It didn’t take more than one stick of incense from going out to leaving.
Tonight's underground harvest really surprised Zuo Chen. Before taking it out, Liu Quande lit it with the special messenger incense he gave him.
I plan to ask Liu Quande about his current progress.
...
The mountains on the edge of the northern plain were shrouded in fog all year round before Zuo Chen moved the mountains to reclaim the sea, making it difficult for Li Ji's soldiers to approach.
Now, under the influence of the magical magic, the fog has dissipated, and the soldiers finally discovered all kinds of wonders in this borderland.
There are temples built on the mountains that emit wisps of light, and there are also ancient trees pointing straight into the sky to resist the breath of the sea of suffering.
The most important thing among them is naturally the door that Zuo Chen discovered some time ago.
Nowadays, a post station has been set up outside the cave as a transit station, with a carriage house inside. Because it is a long way to transport grain and meat, Prince Wei's Mansion sent some capable farmers there to cultivate fields and raise chickens and geese.
Now some miners are coming here to mine minerals. The people are building a place for the miners to live, which is very lively.
The long cave has been modified several times, and it is no longer as wild and primitive as it was at the beginning. It was difficult for the Zi people to dig out the walls, so they simply moved tables, chairs and benches into the cave and placed lanterns that could continuously provide light sources. We also prepared beds for temporary living.
Next to the gate, Liu Quande and a group of students were busy writing and writing. They had been busy all day.
Most of the students could no longer hold on and staggered out of the cave. Only Hu Wen was left. After writing this pile of content, he felt sleepy and simply fell down in the cave.
After a while, snoring sounded.
I saw a little fox head popping up next to Hu Wen. It quickly ran to Hu Wen's feet. He took out a quilt from somewhere and covered it with Hu Wen.
I also tucked in the quilt, for fear that Hu Wen would catch a cold.
Then Hu Wen soon started to sweat from the heat and started to kick the quilt. Xiao Hu Ni exclaimed while covering herself with the quilt, and kept saying:
“You can’t kick me. ! You’ll catch a cold! ”
Liu Quande also stopped working and looked at the two little ones interacting next to him with a smile.
Suddenly, Liu Quande felt something in his heart and saw the incense stick on the table next to him being lit.
He gave this to Taoist Master Zuo Chen. He originally planned to open the door before contacting the Taoist Master, but he did not expect that the Taoist Master would contact him today.
Hurrying down the calculation book in his hand and switching on the incense, Zuo Chen's voice clearly appeared next to Liu Quande's ear:
"Liu Xian, long time no see."
"Immortal, long time no see. Where are you and why did you suddenly send me a message?"
"I was in Kyoto and saw something, so I wanted to ask you."
Liu Quande was slightly surprised.
Kyoto is very far away from Youzhou Plain. Logically speaking, the incense should be lit intermittently now, but the Taoist priest's voice seems to be ringing in his ears.
The Taoist priest has a profound knowledge, and he may have used some tricks. The conversation between the two of them was stable and clear.
"How long will it take for your gate to be unlocked?"
Listening to Zuo Chen's question, Liu Quande immediately said excitedly:
"There is great progress, keep going at this speed. , it can take as short as seven days, or as long as half a month, the door will open by itself!"
"It is indeed Liu Xian," Zuo Chen praised.
"Is that why you came here today to light incense and ask this question?" Liu Quande was a little puzzled.
"Not really." Zuo Chen said: "I also found a door underground in Kyoto. It's the same as the one over there."
Liu Xian: "Huh?"
