Chapter 58: The crowing light does not touch the gold
Five days later, there was a mausoleum thirty miles south of Chenliu County.
The moon rises above my brow, and the place today seems to be the same as before, exceptionally quiet and gloomy.
But there was something different, because in the dark night, a cavalry of fifty people came quietly. They were all dressed in black robes and riding black horses.
They almost blended into the night. If it weren't for the sound of horse hooves and the occasional shout of "Drive, drive" in the night, they would probably be regarded as a team of lonely souls coming out of hell.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is another car among them, also completely black, making it difficult to detect.
When the cavalry arrived at the mausoleum, the leading knight dismounted and dimly lit a few torches. Under the firelight, who could this knight be if he wasn't Cao Xiu?
He walked to the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Old Wei, Master Lu...are already here."
"I've stepped on it before, and there won't be anyone around at this hour!"
While talking, an old man and a young man slowly walked out of the carriage. The old one was Wei Hong, and the young one was naturally Lu Yu. In fact, there was no need for Lu Yu to participate in this matter in person, but...he was a little bit embarrassed in his heart,
I'm afraid that Cao Xiu and the others are too scared to go down!
After all, in ancient times, people often feared ghosts and gods. In the eyes of Cao Xiu and others, what they did today was no different from the ghosts and gods facing each other!
Other than that... Lu Yu still had a little expectation in his heart.
I have watched many TV series and movies about gold-finding and robbery, and if I can actually practice it once, I will inevitably be eager to try it.
Of course, Lu Yu had no intention of actually going in... just playing around and paddling in the water.
Who knows, you might encounter something unclean inside. Lu Yu is the kind of person who is very timid but also longs for terror. He is commonly known as "a good person and a fun-loving person!"
"Ahem..." Lu Yu coughed lightly and looked at Wei Hong.
At this time, Wei Hong nodded repeatedly. "Yes, this is it!"
Wei Hong had been here once before, but he didn't look as carefully as he did this time. Under the torch, he could see that the mausoleum was extremely grand and covered a large area, but... it was more than two hundred years ago.
Somewhat abandoned.
"I didn't expect that the second son of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, would have such a big tomb! If it belongs to Liu Sheng and his wife, how can it be worth it?" Wei Hong couldn't help but sigh again...
These words suddenly reminded Lu Yu...
He finally came to his senses, Prince Jing of Zhongshan... Isn't this the big-eared picture... Oh no, is it the "After Prince Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing" that Liu Bei with big ears always talks about?
After thinking about this section, Lu Yu suddenly recalled the resume of the "famous" Prince Jing of Zhongshan...
——Liu, son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, lover of wine and sex, expert in giving birth to babies, win!
To put it simply, Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, is an otaku. He likes to drink some wine when he has nothing to do. In addition, his greatest interest in life is his group of wives and concubines. His greatest achievement in life is to continue to have children.
Have a baby, have a baby!
According to historical records, Liu Sheng finally gave birth to more than 120 sons. If including daughters, Lu Yu conservatively estimated that the number would be more than 200.
Well…
Recalling this, for a moment, Lu Yu felt that he admired Liu Sheng. Considering that he did not live long, he was only in his fifties, of course... He is such a "special talent".
, there were no kidney treasures in those days...the kidneys were almost failing, and it was amazing to live to be over fifty years old.
Having more than 200 children in a lifetime would qualify as a world record today, right?
With this in mind, Lu Yu looked up at the magnificent mausoleum in front of him, followed the context of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, and continued to recall the records about him in depth.
Speaking of which, Liu Sheng could be regarded as a vassal king in the court, and he still had a sense of presence. For example, at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted his father Yan's suggestion to reduce vassal vassals and allowed the vassal kings to allocate their fiefs to his sons, and the court granted them
They are princes, and they use this to cut down the feudal vassal!
So his twenty sons were named marquis. The eldest son of Liu Bei's lineage was the "Marquis of Lucheng" Liu Zhen. Lucheng was in Zhuo County, where Liu Bei engaged in traditional handicrafts and stall business.
The second son is Liu Chang, the owner of the royal tomb in front of him. Maybe because of his legitimate son, this guy inherited the fief of Liu Sheng Zhongshan and became the second king of Zhongshan.
As for why the mausoleum was built here, Lu Yu didn't know. Maybe there was a poignant love story in it.
However, these are not important...
After figuring out the context of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Lu Yu felt that he had really come to the right place today.
——This tomb preserves fat!
As for the reason, it can be mentioned in ancient books and documents.
These sons of Liu Sheng have been fascinated by them since they were young, and they also inherited the fine tradition of their father's special ability to have children. Each of them gave birth to a few dozen children, so... think about it, when Liu Sheng died, there were more than a hundred sons.
Who is not allowed to fill the tomb with some rare treasures? Gold, silver, silk...
When Liu Chang died, his son who was several dozen years older had to do the same. This is an extremely fine tradition.
Referring to the grandeur of this mausoleum, Lu Yu felt that this wave was about to happen!
"Ahem..."
Because he was too excited, Lu Yu felt a little choked out of thin air, and calmed down his throbbing mood.
"General Cao Xiu? Have you touched the entrance to the mausoleum?"
"I've touched it before, do you want... to go in?" Cao Xiu was usually very courageous, but at this moment, even though he was prepared, he started to mutter, with a trace of panic on his cheeks.
"Don't panic..." Different from his expression, Lu Yu calmly took out a candle from the carriage. Even though it was a small candle, it was extremely precious in the Han Dynasty. It was a tribute from South Vietnam to the imperial court. After all, Chen Liu
The richest man, the Wei family, only had a dozen of them.
"Where is the entrance to the mausoleum?" Lu Yu asked Cao Xiu while holding a candle in one hand.
Cao Xiu said nothing, turned his head and pointed in the direction of the entrance.
Lu Yu nodded and walked directly to the entrance of the mausoleum. When he reached the entrance, Lu Yu took out a candle and handed it to Cao Xiu!
Cao Xiu and Wei Hong looked confused. What is going on?
"Mr. Lu, you...this is..." Wei Hong was really curious and couldn't help but ask.
"General Cao Xiu, after you enter the tomb, you must light a candle in the southeast corner!"
"Why is this?" Cao Xiu asked next.
Lu Yu explained in detail: "As the saying goes, if the rooster crows and the lights are turned off, you will not touch the gold. The rooster crow means it is dawn and you cannot do this. The lights are turned off to show respect for the master here."
"After all, we are here to get his things. The master is a ghost. If you light a lamp, he will blow out the lamp when he gets angry. This means that the master here does not want us to touch his tomb. You behave yourself.
Just kowtow three times and leave. The coffin can only be opened if the lights are not extinguished!"
At this point, Lu Yu said solemnly, "But remember..."
Well…
Cao Xiu was stunned, and Wei Hong was also confused after hearing this. This... is so metaphysical. The key is this "ghost" thing? Does Lu Yu understand it too?
Seeing their confused expressions, Lu Yu patted Cao Xiu on the shoulder.
"This is a contract passed down from our ancestors. It is a contract between the living and the dead. It has been passed down for thousands of years. No exceptions can be made."
"Don't worry, what we are doing is as safe as a dog!"
When talking about this, Lu Yu showed a row of white teeth... This look is harmless to humans and animals.
But Cao Xiu was panicking. Damn, all the metaphysics had been corrected. Suddenly, he had a sentence MMP in his mind...I don't know whether to say it or not!
