Chapter 198 The Development and Origin of the Tomb Guards
Longwan River.
After Zhou Sheng entered the water, he held the mausoleum guard's horse with his left hand, and Liu Ruyan and Captain Mojin with his right hand.
Liuli stood on Zhou Sheng's shoulders and helped Zhou Sheng identify the direction.
"Meow, keep going, we'll be there soon." Liuli vaguely saw the ancient Shouling Tower hidden deep under the water.
Zhou Sheng swam over quickly, and a few minutes later, he saw the ancient tomb building.
Nine floors of the ancient Shouling building are exposed.
A huge dragon is wrapped around the nine-story ancient mausoleum building, but only half of the huge dragon's body is outside, and the other half is underground.
The ancient Shouling Tower is like a tall tower, but all nine floors are the same size.
Each floor is in the shape of a cylinder, but the eaves of each floor are square.
On each floor, there are bronze bells hung and dragon shapes carved for decoration, which is magnificent.
Under the eaves, there are green flames burning, making the ancient building look a bit scary.
"Brother Hu, we found it, this is the Dragon Tower!" Fatty Wang was very excited. This is exactly the same as the Dragon Tower recorded in the book.
Even though Hu Bayi had been prepared for it, the moment he saw the Dragon Tower, he was still very excited.
"We touched Captain Jin's Dragon Tower, but it is an ancient tower guarding the mausoleum." Hu Bayi said excitedly.
The Dragon Tower, which Captain Mojin had been looking for for thousands of years, was found by them.
Zhou Sheng looked at the ancient tomb building in front of him and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The guard token around his waist glowed slightly, echoing the lights on the ancient tower guarding the tomb.
Zhou Sheng led Yan Wang, Hu Bayi and the others and swam to the top of the ancient guarding tower.
There are two entrances to the Shouling Ancient Building, one is the entrance to the warehouse at the top, and the other is the entrance to the first floor on the ground.
Zhou Sheng enters from the top and goes all the way down, which is more convenient.
Otherwise, if you enter from the first floor, you have to go up and down again.
After arriving at the top floor, Zhou Sheng looked at the words "Shou Ling" written under the eaves of the top floor.
Next to these two words, there is a groove, which is opened with the Tomb Keeper's Token.
Zhou Sheng placed the token on the groove, the top eaves, and separated them directly to both sides.
Zhou Sheng took down the token and swam in with the tomb guard's war horse and Liu Ruyan.
When everyone enters, the eaves are closed, and the drainage system of the ancient Shouling Building drains all the water from the top floor.
Zhou Sheng fell to the ground, and the tomb-keeping flames on his body burned, igniting the candlesticks on the surrounding walls.
As the candle ignited, the temperature gradually increased.
"Take off your diving equipment." Zhou Sheng said softly, and then Hu Bayi and the others took off their equipment.
And Zhou Sheng walked towards a stone platform.
"Meow, put the coffin on the stone platform, Hanshan will fall directly into the attic of the mountain along the stone platform." Liuli reminded.
After hearing this, Zhou Sheng took down Hanshan's coffin from the horseback of the tomb guard and placed it on top.
"Buzz!"
The mechanism was activated, and the stone platform sank with the golden coffin.
"There is an elevator here." Fatty Wang was a little surprised.
"Meow, this is not an elevator, this is a funeral platform. Whenever a deceased tomb keeper lies on the stone platform, the ancient mausoleum guardian building will take him to his attic."
"If a living person lies on it, he will be killed by the guardian of the ancient mausoleum."
"Not even the living guardians of the tomb."
Liuli explained.
This platform is used to send deceased tomb-keepers to rest in peace.
Zhou Sheng had no plans and just took the elevator down.
He came in just to explore the secrets of the tomb keeper. It wouldn't make much sense if he just took the elevator down.
After sending Han Shan down, Zhou Shengcai sat on the horse and looked around.
This is the top floor of the ancient Shouling Building. There are not many things around and there are no mechanisms.
After all, this is a place of burial.
"There are so many murals around." Fatty Wang looked at the murals carved around him and was a little confused.
Hu Bayi stood by the wall and looked carefully, but found that he could not understand the content on the mural.
The murals were all carved with special symbols, and he didn't know where to start even if he wanted to decipher them.
"Meow, this is the mural left by the tomb keeper. Only the tomb keeper can understand it." Liuli stood on Zhou Sheng's shoulder and said.
Zhou Sheng looked at the murals on the wall and could indeed understand them.
The special symbols on it could be understood by Zhou Sheng at a glance.
That is actually not a mural, but a text narrative.
"Brother Hu, the Patriarch has left us a message." Fatty Wang found the special words left by Patriarch Mojin Xiaowei under a wall.
Hu Bayi immediately walked over and explained.
Zhou Sheng did not go there, and would ask them again after Hu Bayi and the others had figured it out.
Right now, he is still interpreting the writing on the wall.
The special symbols on the walls, connected in series, tell the history of the development of the tomb-keepers.
The mausoleum guardians originated from Jiang Taigong and guarded the tombs of kings in all dynasties.
This is the mausoleum guard on the surface, but in secret, the mausoleum guard is not only guarding the king's tomb, but also the dragon vein of China.
Since the Emperor of Zhou overthrew the Shang Dynasty and established the Western Zhou Dynasty, the world has not been peaceful and people's hearts have been unstable.
Prime Minister Jiang Ziya used the Nine Provinces Cauldron to nourish the Nine Provinces dragon veins and defend the Emperor of Zhou.
Since then, emperors of all dynasties have called themselves the True Dragon Emperor.
Later, Jiang Ziya hid the Jiuzhou Ding in the Emperor's Mausoleum and established the position of mausoleum guard to protect the ancient mausoleum and the dragon veins in the Jiuzhou Ding.
The guardians of the mausoleum were originally from the Nine Meridians, but in order to ensure the safety of the Jiuzhou Cauldron, Jiang Ziya only allowed the Seven Meridians to be known to the emperors and generals, and the Yin and Yang Meridians would never be born.
When the seven meridians are exhausted, yin and yang come out.
As long as the seven meridians are still there, the two meridians of yin and yang will never appear.
However, due to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's authority was declining day by day. The last Zhou emperor opened the emperor's mausoleum and took out the Jiuzhou tripod, hoping to defend his royal power and command the world.
But unfortunately, it failed.
Jiuzhou Ding was divided among the major powers during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The seven-line mausoleum guardians also separated at that time.
Later, when the First Emperor unified the country, he learned that chaos would easily arise if the Jiuzhou Tripods were gathered together, so he scattered the Jiuzhou Tripods and hid them in the mausoleum and let the mausoleum guards protect them.
Keep one for yourself.
With this, Jiuzhou Ding is buried in the tomb and will never appear again.
Even if future emperors obtain the Kyushu Cauldron, they will hide it in their own tombs, which is impossible in reality.
The guardians of the tombs have always been among the ancient tombs.
The Tomb Keeper Post was originally set up by Jiang Ziya to serve the Tomb Keepers. Later, it was strengthened during the Qin Dynasty. There were Tomb Keeper Posts all over the country, and the boss of the Tomb Keeper Post was a dead man unconditionally.
Obey all the requests of the tomb keeper.
Therefore, the deceased soldiers were passed down from generation to generation to serve the tomb guardians full-time.
The ancient tomb-keeper building on the top floor introduces the development and origin of the tomb-keepers.
Most of the memories of the tomb-keepers obtained by Zhou Sheng were similar, except that his memory did not mention the First Emperor too much.
But here it is written that the First Emperor promoted the development and improvement of the tomb-keepers.
"Why doesn't it say, who designed the ancient Shouling Tower?" Zhou Sheng was a little confused, but there was no mention of the ancient Shouling Tower.
