Arriving at the place where the six o'clock night light stays, there is an entrance connected to the palace wall under the pearly light.
There are pillars carved on both sides of the entrance, and there are patterns engraved on the pillars. Xie Fu immediately touched these patterns with his hands to observe, and a few luminous pearls immediately moved to Xie Fu, so that Xie Fu could identify the patterns more clearly.
Xie Fu was very absorbed in it, as if he was addicted to it, and no one else dared to disturb him.
Li Huichao seemed to understand Xie Fu's character a little bit, and asked aloud: "Brother Xie, do you see anything?"
Xie Fu responded excitedly: "These patterns are abstract and specious. They should have some history, at least before the pre-Qin period."
The burning of books by the Qin Dynasty resulted in the loss of a large number of ancient book records, so some more ancient events have become mysteries and can only be inferred and guessed through some remaining monuments.
Li Huichao asked: "Are these patterns important? If not..."
Li Huichao was reminding him. Xie Fu understood what Li Huichao meant and explained: "Understanding the details of this underground palace will help us find the main hall faster and sharpen our swords to chop wood."
As Xie Fu spoke, he raised his head and looked upward. Others also raised their luminous pearls to illuminate. They saw several large characters engraved on the top of the door, but they did not recognize the shape of the characters.
In order to decipher the ancient characters, Xie Fu did a lot of research on the ancient characters of the historical era and read out: "Open...the sky..."
The last two words were difficult to see clearly due to the smudge and darkness, but Qin Chuzhen said directly: "Open the sky and establish the pole."
Xie Fu suddenly said: "It means opening the sky and establishing the pole, I know."
Got it! Know what?
The others were just about to ask, but Xie Fu walked in quickly. The others ignored the inquiry and quickly followed.
Li Huichao followed Xie Fu and asked Qin Chuzhen, "Sixth Prince, what did you see?"
Others immediately pricked up their ears to listen.
Qin Chuzhen said: "This is the beginning of a memorial text. I just read it out casually: Founding the foundation of humanities, establishing the poles of time and space, distinguishing yin and yang, opening the sky and establishing poles..."
Xie Fu answered: "This is the sacred mausoleum built for Taiwu in later generations. This is the copper and stone area for chariots and horses. This is the weapons and armor area..."
Xie Fu was as familiar as visiting a home, walking quickly, muttering to himself, or introducing everyone.
Every time he introduced a place, Xie Fu did not stop at any time, because he could already judge from the width of the buildings in each area that this palace was very large, and it would take ten and a half months to visit it.
If we were to study it in detail, we would not be able to understand these pre-Qin cultures clearly even in a year and a half.
In the darkness, one could only see for several feet, and the others knew nothing. They only felt that they were following Xie Fu in a circle around the palace.
Since everyone was walking very fast, like a trot, Zhu Jiuchun, who was the weakest, was already struggling under the pressure of the mountain.
For him, walking faster now is a difficult task.
Li Huichao asked: "Brother Xie, are you going the wrong way? I feel like we are going in a circle."
As a martial arts master, although it is dark, he still has the ability to identify directions.
The others heard the words and paid attention. They both followed Xie Fu and were wary of him.
This place is like Xie Fu's home court. He has no idea how he wants to trick him.
Xie Fu said: "Yes, we are going in a circle. The construction layout of this sacred mausoleum is exactly like this. Going in circles means the cycle of life."
After hearing this, everyone thought to themselves that if he hadn't led the way and searched randomly, four hours wouldn't be enough. Even four days wouldn't be enough.
As he was walking, Xie Fu suddenly stopped and looked toward a door. It was dark inside.
Li Huichao asked: "But how to enter through here."
Xie Fu didn't answer. He walked to the door, took a whiff, and said, "There is a smell of copper. This is the burial vessel area. The things inside are all priceless antiques and treasures nowadays."
He turned around and asked: "If anyone doesn't want to return empty-handed, you can go in and search."
Li Huichao said: "If it is not the birthplace of Lotus, we should leave."
Xie Fu continued to walk quickly and said: "Who knows whether the lotus hair will be inside."
Li Huichao was stunned and then heard Xie Fu continue: "Four hours is too short. To find the lotus hair in this vast palace is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack. We can only narrow the search scope to the main hall.
Areas such as the sleeping hall and the shrine.”
Only then did Li Huichao realize Xie Fu's painstaking efforts, and wanted to lure someone to go in and search. After all, there was a possibility of finding a lotus flower in the burial area, although the possibility was extremely low.
But dangers are everywhere here, and who wants to act alone?
Every time it goes around, the range shrinks.
After walking around three times, we finally entered the first hall.
There is nothing else in the hall, but countless stone tablets. These stone tablets are more than five feet high, as high as five or six stories, and about one foot wide. At first glance, each stone tablet looks like a temple tower.
The grounds inside the temple are vast, densely packed, and lined with stone tablets, giving people a sense of vastness and insignificance.
Xie Fu paused for a while, casually walked into a stone tablet, wiped the dust on it, looked at the words on it, and said: "This is the writing of the Western Zhou Dynasty. What is recorded on it should be someone's life achievements."
As a descendant of the royal family, Qin Chuzhen also knew a lot about palaces and mausoleums, and asked: "Why are there so many monuments of merit?"
For such a large achievement monument, he must have been a great person in his life, and there are so many stone monuments that it is impossible to count them.
Xie Fu explained: "The people of the Zhou Dynasty paid attention to burying people of the same clan, without sealing or planting trees. They pursued the unity of heaven and man, and believed in the ultimate power of heaven. This is a sacred mausoleum and a mass grave."
Pointing at these countless stone tablets: "This is the common destination of generations of kings and sages of the Zhou Dynasty."
These words didn't mean anything at first, but looking at the huge stone tablets, being in this dark and boundless environment, it was inexplicable and eerie, and I could only feel that the spirits of the people around me were wandering around me.
Li Huichao said: "Jinling was once the fiefdom of Zhou Zhang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty had a deep relationship with the Rui State."
Qin Chuzhen answered: "Rui State? That civilization that mysteriously disappeared?"
Xie Fu said: "You two, let's talk in detail when we have time. Let's go. There are all stone monuments here. There is nothing to be found."
If you know where this place is, you don't need to waste your time here.
Everyone began to run quickly, as if running through the wilderness.
Finally reaching the first door, Xie Fu stopped and finally came to the main hall.
Li Huichao asked: "This is the main hall, right?"
Xie Fu nodded. Although it was not a huge effort, it was not easy to get here in such a short time.
A group of people walked into the main hall. Under the reflection of pearl light, they could see the scenery within a few feet, but they could still feel the majesty of the main hall. It was inlaid with jade and hung with gold, making it look magnificent.
The feet were smooth and flat, and the pearlescent light reflected off the ground made one have to suspect that the ground was made of jade.
As soon as they entered the hall, everyone immediately noticed that there was light coming from a place dozens of feet away in the middle, just like a house in the distance, with the flickering candlelight coming from the house.
This was the first time they saw light after entering the forbidden area, and they suddenly felt warm.
Zhu Jiuchun, who was already out of breath, shouted excitedly: "There is light!"
