Chapter 165: Colleagues A Thousand Years Ago
I don’t know how long they walked. When the three of them were completely exhausted, they finally saw a little light.
It was a tunnel that opened on one side of the underground river rock wall.
The corridor is not big and can barely accommodate one person walking forward. There are obvious traces of excavation on the corridor, which is obviously man-made and not a natural formation.
"This is a secret passage!" Zhuang Zhong's eyes lit up.
"What secret passage?"
"If my guess is correct, this should be a man-made secret passage. Of course, it cannot be a big project, it was the work of a few people. Ancient emperors built mausoleums, and after they were completed, in order to keep them secret, they would bury the workers together. From then on
, the mausoleum builders would secretly leave a secret passage for themselves to escape. This secret passage should be formed for this reason." Zhuang Zhong explained.
"In other words, the workers at that time used the same method as us to escape from Zhu Xie's tomb?" He Da asked.
"That's right!" Zhuang nodded. "Let's go through this secret passage and we will escape!"
Hearing that they could finally return to the ground, He Da and Hou Hou were immediately full of energy, and the three of them ducked into the secret passage.
There was no light, and the flashlight had long since been soaked in the water. The three of them could only walk cautiously, twisting and turning, and constantly bumping against rocks.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After going around a few times, their eyes finally lit up and a cave appeared in front of the three of them.
Four to five hundred meters in front of the cave, a strong light appeared, which was obviously the entrance of the cave.
"It's out! It's out!" Monkey couldn't restrain his excitement, waving his hands vigorously, venting the depression of the past two days.
But this move immediately involved the wound on his back, making him grin.
Looking at the entrance of the cave solemnly, he also had mixed feelings. This time it was really hard, and he almost died in the tomb.
"Sigh." He Da looked back at the direction of the tomb and sighed.
Zhuang Zhong knew what He Da was sighing about. He was pitying the tourmaline coffin.
Although the three Boshan furnaces were brought out, their value is far from comparable to the tourmaline coffin.
However, Zhuang Zhong didn't feel any pity. He got the most important thing from this trip.
Attack the magic weapon!
The flying knife used by Zhu Xie is of immeasurable value. With this flying knife, Zhuang Zheng can save the day even if he faces an opponent twice as powerful. But it is much more useful than the tourmaline coffin.
What's more, the value of this kind of offensive magic weapon in the metaphysical world is also very high. As long as Zhuang Zhong is willing to sell it, it is possible to sell it for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
But he is not stupid. If this kind of treasure is sold to his peers, it might one day become a weapon against him. It is better to control high-risk things by yourself.
"Let's go out and see what happened to the bull." He Da said, walking towards the entrance of the cave step by step.
"Huh? What is it?" He Dacai took two steps and suddenly asked towards the corner of the cave.
Looking over solemnly, he vaguely saw a figure in the corner.
Walking forward, he was stunned.
It turned out to be a skeleton. There were many words carved on the mountain wall next to the skeleton.
The handwriting is in standard regular script and is unusually graceful. It seems to have been written by a woman.
He solemnly glanced at the handwriting, originally thinking it was some random graffiti, but to his surprise, he was immediately attracted by what was in the writing and could no longer take his eyes away.
This is a script from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Since Qin Shihuang unified China, the script has not changed much for thousands of years. It has become just a font. Regular script was popular during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is not much different from now. Therefore, it is not difficult to read solemnly.
The content described in the text is related to Zhu Xie’s tomb.
It turned out that this skeleton was really that of a woman. The woman was the builder of Zhu Xie's tomb and was captured by Liu Yuanjin to build the tomb.
From the moment she was captured, the woman knew that she was in serious danger, so she secretly kept a backup plan.
At the same time, in order to retaliate against Liu Yuanjin, the woman also messed up the case sand in Zhu Xie's tomb. Originally, Liu Yuanjin wanted to use Zhu Xie's tomb to add some help to his hegemony. However, after the woman changed the case sand, the auspicious hole became misaligned.
Relocation has become a hidden danger for Liu Yuanjin.
In the end, the woman's method worked, and Liu Yuanjin was killed by Wang Shichong, failing to achieve eternal supremacy.
Seeing this, Zhuang Zhong couldn't help but secretly praise him. This colleague from thousands of years ago was really good at Feng Shui. Just relying on the case sand, he quietly affected Liu Yuanjin's imperial destiny and pushed Liu Yuanjin on the road to destruction.
This became the last straw for Liu Yuanjin.
This is the power of Feng Shui masters. It is impossible to really change one's fate against the will of nature. However, a moderate influence on someone's fortune, coupled with changes in objective conditions, can lead to a deflection of someone's fortune, leading to defeat.
Yin and Yang houses are two factors that have a greater impact on fortune.
Looking further down, there is a brief introduction to Zhu Xie’s tomb.
The big tree in Zhu Xie's tomb is indeed an ancient sacred tree called the Fuchang tree. And the baby fruit on the tree is indeed called Yu Tao.
It seems that Old Man Chu has figured this thing out clearly.
The Fu Chang tree is an ancient sacred tree recorded in historical materials. However, there is not much relevant information.
According to research by some experts, in fact, service is service, and service is often a banner.
"Zhou Li·Chun Guan·Sichang" once recorded: "The king built Taichang, and the princes built it", "The king painted the sun and moon, which resembles the bright sky." Based on this, it can be deduced that the Fu Chang tree is actually a big flag, with the tree on it.
There are three-headed men, which are the guards. They are responsible for guarding the big tree. The so-called "three-headed" are three kinds of masks to indicate their working status, such as on duty, patrolling, resting, etc.
From this point of view, the Yu Tao, who was born in the big tree, is the legendary three-headed man. He is responsible for protecting things on the big tree, including Zhu Xie's coffin.
The female Feng Shui master revealed something even more in her text.
Zhu Xie actually relied on Yu Tao’s march to fight the war!
In normal wars, Zhu Xie would use sacrifices to release Yu Tao to kill the enemy. This unconventional weapon also greatly shocked Zhu Xie's enemies, making Zhu Xie very famous among the enemy troops.
Later, Zhu Xie died in battle, and Liu Yuanjin built this tomb in order to control Yu Tao. No wonder Zhuang Zhong found traces of sacrifices outside the tomb. It seems that Liu Yuanjin also summoned Yu Tao several times. As for whether he succeeded, it is unknown.
"This Zhu Xie is a beast king!" he exclaimed solemnly.
Then reading the text, Zhuang Zhong learned the reason why the female Feng Shui master died here.
After the female Feng Shui master finished building the tomb, Liu Yuanjin turned against her and actually wanted to bury the woman with her and hold a ghost marriage for Zhu Xie.
Liu Yuanjin sealed all the exits and tied the woman into the coffin.
The woman was skilled in martial arts, so she tried her best to escape from the coffin, and then followed the secret passage she had quietly left before to prepare to escape from the tomb.
Unexpectedly, she was suddenly attacked by King Yumaru. The woman fought with King Yumaran and seriously injured King Yumaran, and she was also seriously injured.
After escaping from the spring into this cave, he was so seriously injured that he ran out of energy and energy. After leaving this text behind, he died unwillingly.
At this point, the mystery about King Yu Tao has been solved.
Previously, Zhuang Zhong had always wondered how King Yu was injured and then killed by Old Man Chu.
Now it seems that it was the woman who injured King Yumaru. After thousands of years, King Yumaran failed to recover from his injuries. And as the years passed, King Yumaran gradually reached the end of his life, and only then was Old Man Chu taking advantage of him.
He sighed solemnly, but in his heart he was in awe of this female Feng Shui master.
This is like a story with ups and downs, which makes people sigh after reading it.
"Brother Zhuang, did this woman escape from inside too?" He Da stared at the wall for a long time, but he didn't know much about it, so he could only ask Zhuang Zhong.
Zhuang nodded and explained the whole thing to He Da in detail.
Then, he solemnly suggested that the woman be buried. After all, the three of them were able to escape thanks to the secret passage left by the woman thousands of years ago.
He Da and Monkey had no objection, so after bowing solemnly three times, they collected the body of the female Feng Shui master and prepared to bury it with rocks.
With great respect, he gathered the woman's bones together, dug a deep pit in the ground, and pushed it into the pit.
Suddenly, when Zhuang Zhong was about to put the woman's last skeleton into the pit, his hands felt cold and he touched something.
Zhuang Zhong looked down quietly and saw that it was a thin piece of jade. It didn't look like a high-quality jade piece, but it would definitely not be that simple if it appeared on the body of this female Feng Shui master.
With a thought in his mind, Zhuang Zhong put away the thin jade pieces.
Then all the woman's bones were put into the pit and buried with rocks and soil.
What is the secret behind the jade flakes? Zhuang Zheng will have to study it carefully when he goes back. There is no rush now.
But there is one thing I haven't done yet, and that is the fake agarwood bracelet.
Zhuang Zhong rolled his eyes and made a calculation.
While burying the woman's skeleton, he suddenly let out an ouch, lowered his head and shouted, "Holy shit, what is this?"
After saying that, he raised his hand, and there was already a string of agarwood bracelets in his hand.
He Da looked at the bracelet suspiciously and suddenly smiled with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhuang found this female body?"
Zhuang nodded and said: "I was burying it, burying it, and suddenly I felt something next to the bones. I picked it up and saw that it was a bracelet. Looking at the material, it seems to be made of ebony?"
"No! This bracelet is deeply patinated and has natural oil lines. It is the best agarwood string! Look at this shape, the ghost eyes on the bracelet are perfectly used to make Pixiu eyes. It is definitely a master-class work." Monkey walked up and said,
He looked at the bracelet carefully and said.
Chapter completed!
