Chapter Eighty-Seven
When the group entered the underground palace, the underground palace had been cleaned by monks in the temple and torches were inserted into the walls.
Guan Hao walked in front with the jade chamber in his arms. As soon as he entered the underground palace, the first thing that caught his eye was a creepy thing.
The four corners of a coffin made of golden nanmu are tied and hung in the middle of the stone roof of the underground palace by iron chains.
And on the coffin on both sides of the golden nanmu, these eight red lacquer characters:
"If you are not a pure minister in life, you will never be a pure minister in life."
Looking at these eight words, everyone present was moved. How honest is this to have determination and will.
The Qing Dynasty made the last prince of Shu destroy his country and his family, and finally lived in this remote mountain village on the coast to become a monk. In the end, he was depressed and unsuccessful, and died of old age.
The entire underground palace felt like it was about 80 square meters. Except for the hanging coffin hanging in the air, the north side of the stone chamber was filled with spirit signs.
There were wooden boxes neatly stacked on the east side of the stone chamber, and from Guan Hao's perspective, it was impossible to tell what items were inside.
The west side of the stone chamber was neatly placed with ancient musical instruments, and the most conspicuous one was the set of chimes that shone golden.
According to the instructions of the old abbot, Guan Hao placed the jade letter on the desk where the spiritual seat was placed in the north.
The old abbot began to recite scriptures and pray for the deceased.
Guan Hao stood aside, and his mission was completed here.
Only then can I have the time to take a closer look at the situation in the underground palace.
Because this time Guan Hao saw it very clearly: the spiritual throne of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Taichang of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty, the spiritual throne of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty...
A total of sixteen spiritual tablets were placed neatly on a mahogany desk in sequence.
It seems that the spiritual throne of the Ming emperor is placed in the north.
Guan Hao looked around again, and basically confirmed that the secret room of the underground palace was the last resting place for Zhu Qi, the prince of the Shu King. Because of his integrity, he chose to hang a coffin and buried it.
It is not difficult to find from the furnishings here that this is also a scene of Zhu Qi, the prince of Shu. The prince of Shu is obsessed with music and has collected many priceless ancient musical instruments.
From the guqin in Xiaolu, Bailu Island to the six-legged scale instrument that opens the key to the underground palace, we can see that the prince of Shu is so persistent and obsessed with music.
The ancient musical instruments in the underground palace must be the favorite thing that the prince of Shu during his lifetime, and it is definitely extraordinary.
Guan Hao originally wanted to open the wooden box in the secret room to find out the truth, but now he thought about it. After the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he had been dealing with the Qing Dynasty for most of his life, and finally passed away in this small stone chamber, leaving the world full of hatred and indignation. If it weren't for war, if there was no hatred of this country, he would still be the free and easy prince of Shu, who could live comfortably, play with his beloved instruments carefree, and be a free and happy prince.
Well, no matter what treasures are contained in the box on the west, or whether the ancient musical instruments placed on the east are precious, let them continue to accompany the pitiful and respectable Prince of Shu in this cold underground palace!
Thinking of this, Guan Hao kowtowed three times to Master Benxi with relief, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Guan Xiaotanyue, please stay!"
The old abbot called out to Guan Hao who was about to turn around and leave, and looked at Guan Hao with kindness.
"Master, can you ask if there is anything else?" Guan Hao asked with surprise.
"Xiao Guan Tanyue has a fate with my Linji vein, and I have a fate with this Prince of Shu. If this Prince of Shu had not been Xiao Guan Tanyue, no one in the world would have opened it. It is also the cycle of cause and effect. In this secret room, I think there are some yellow and white things left by the Prince of Shu. These yellow and white things are worthless to people outside of us, but they are still relatively precious to Xiao Guan Tanyue. Since I have come, I will be the leader. Let you choose three things in this secret room, right?"
When Guan Hao heard this, the old abbot allowed him to choose three things in the secret room to take them away. He refused the old abbot without hesitation and said to the old abbot with firm determination:
"Master, thank you for your kindness. Opening the underground palace to place Master Benxi's relics is also considered to be the entrustment of Master Benxi to me before his death. This is my trust in me. I have promised Master Benxi and met his wish. We will be surrounded by a man with a promise of a thousand gold coins and will be entrusted by others without asking for anything in return.
What's more, the things placed in this secret room are all the things that the prince of Shu is beloved, and I cannot take away anyone's love."
"Amitabha, good, good, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither greedy nor angry, have faith and righteousness, and the child can be entrusted!"
The old abbot turned around and said to the elderly in the family: "Dear Tan Yue, Xiao Guan Tan Yue has passed the three tests and can enter Bian Ji Hall at the right time."
When Guan Hao heard this, he was very excited.
Bianjitang in Damiwei is the most mysterious place of the two families of Damiwei Chiefs. Only the elders and past patriarchs of the family can be qualified to enter it.
As for what is inside Bianjitang? Guan Hao didn't know, and the old man at home didn't tell him.
"Thank you, Master, I have no virtue in my rice surrounds and how can I take on this great task! Guan Hao, thank you Master quickly."
"Thank you, Master Guan Hao!"
The old abbot looked at Mr. Guan Yongzhong: "Guan Tanyue, my junior brother Xi has already gotten in love. The secret room of this palace is sealed on the spot. Let's move to the tea room!"
"Get orders!"
In front of the old man and his predecessors, Guan Hao, his fourth uncle, sixth uncle and eighth uncle, worked together to pull out the stone door of the secret room that was shrinking into the crack of the stone. Guan Hao took out six keys to open the stone door from his backpack. According to the previous method of opening the stone door, he closed the six keys and locked the door of the secret room, and then everyone left the underground palace and went to the ground.
Next will be a secret meeting to decide the future development of a mysterious organization headed by Guangxiao Temple. Guan Hao passed the previous three assessments and is also qualified to participate, but he didn't know that this secret meeting was just the only person to talk about.
