Chapter 249: Resurrection of the Dead?
"Miss Hai, have you brought everything?"
Hearing Zhao Yanxi's inquiry, Hai Liusha nodded, "The thing is on me." Speaking of this, she looked at the unconscious people around her, "Now that you're ready, can you start?"
"Of course, I'll be waiting for you. Zhao Yanxi grinned, "Miss Hai, please come here!"
Seeing everyone's backs gradually disappear from sight, Jiang Lai slowly stood up, frowning slightly.
"Mr. Jiang, what now?"
Jiang came to look at Xu Dongling, "I'm curious about their purpose, are you interested in going with me to see it?"
"Okay, I also want to see what this group of people is all about. ”
At that moment, a group of four people followed the direction of Zhao Yanxi's departure and slowly moved forward. In order to avoid being discovered, the four of them were cautious and did not dare to show the slightest sound of footsteps.
This secret passage is hidden in the corner of the cave and is very hidden. After walking more than thirty meters, Jiang Lai suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone, if you guess correctly, we should be under that cave now." ”
After a pause, he took two steps forward and observed the stone walls on both sides of the road, "The marks of the axe and chisel here are completely different from the above, at least hundreds of years old. ”
Xu Dongling continued: "In this way, they built another passage to connect the cave with the general's tomb. ”
"Not bad!" After speaking, Jiang Lai pointed to a stone tablet erected in front of him and walked over. When they got closer, everyone took a few looks, only to see that the stone tablet was engraved with dense ancient characters, and there was a familiar pattern at the bottom.
"The content of this stele is supposed to tell the life of the general. Xu Dongling said: "I don't know much about these ancient characters, and I can only barely make out some of them. ”
Jiang Lai looked at the end from the beginning to the end, and said slowly: "The general we are looking for is called Yuan Tianzhi, he was once a fierce general under Song Huang, and he was deeply trusted by Song Huang, and he was also his confidant. Later, after Song Huang disappeared, Yuan Tianzhi gathered his subordinates to open up the wasteland in the mountains and build this mausoleum. According to the above records, Yuan Tianzhi was not buried after his death. ”
After hearing his words, the three members of the Xu family were taken aback and looked at Jiang Lai in disbelief, "Do you recognize these ancient characters?"
Jiang Lai nodded and didn't explain much.
"Mr. Jiang, you just said that Yuan Tianzhi was not buried after death, what does this mean? Could it be that he was buried alive?" Xu Jie looked curious.
"Pretty much. Jiang said: "After the mausoleum was built, Yuan Tianzhi gathered all his subordinates, nominally to reward everyone, but in fact, he poisoned the wine, and thousands of his subordinates were all poisoned, and none of them survived. Later, these people were buried by him as a companion. ”
"Tsk! This guy is so ruthless, he doesn't even let go of his own people. ”
"He did this for the sake of secrecy. Those who are familiar with history know that when ancient emperors built imperial tombs, they would have all the laborers buried in order to ensure that the tombs were not stolen by outsiders. ”
Xu Chong couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Jiang, what else is recorded on this?"
"After Yuan Tianzhi killed his subordinates, he entered the mausoleum alone, and there is no record after that. Speaking of this, Jiang Lai groaned slightly, "I think Yuan Tianzhi's purpose in doing this should be to keep Song Huang's secret, so he chose this way to end his life." ”
"It's all just speculation, and if you want to know the truth, you have to go in and see. After the words fell, Xu Dongling strode forward.
After a while, in the sight of everyone, a heavy stone gate appeared. The stone gate has already been opened, and there are still many traces of drag on the ground, which should have been left by Zhao Yanxi's group.
Passing through the stone gate, Jiang Lai immediately heard a slight sound coming, following the sound, the sound came from the innermost part of the mausoleum.
Everyone exchanged glances, then slowed down and slowly walked deeper into the mausoleum. Since this mausoleum had already been discovered by Zhao Yanxi and them, the mechanisms inside had been broken and there was no danger.
When he arrived at the core area of the mausoleum, Jiang Lai finally saw Zhao Yanxi and Hai Liusha and others. In addition to this, there is a huge coffin suspended in mid-air by several chains. The surface of the coffin was dark, I don't know what stone it was made of, exuding a cold atmosphere, giving people an eerie feeling.
"You see, there's also a formation set up underneath. ”
Looking in the direction of Xu Chong's finger, sure enough, there was also a formation around the coffin, covering the entire coffin.
Jiang looked at the top of the tomb, estimated it, and said, "The location of this formation seems to correspond to the formation in the cave, only one is on the top and the other is at the bottom. ”
"Mr. Jiang, look, what is that?"
Hearing Xu Jie's reminder, Jiang Lai looked intently, only to see Hai Liusha take out something and hand it to Zhao Yanxi. It was not big, only the size of a normal person's fist, the surface was uneven, covered with lines, and the whole body was blood-red, like an extremely strange stone.
However, in that stone, he felt a powerful and pure aura.
"Mr. Xu, have you ever seen such a thing before?"
Xu Dongling thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a piece of blood jade." ”
"Blood jade?" Jiang Lai's heart moved, he had heard Cheng Hua mention this kind of thing before, it was said to be more precious than the best jade, even in the entire Hua Kingdom, the number of blood jade was very rare.
"That's right! I've never seen such a big blood jade before, and it's definitely the best of the best. ”
While speaking, under the gaze of the four people, Zhao Yanxi took the blood jade, walked straight to the bottom of the coffin, and then placed the blood jade stone at the bottom. That position is exactly where the eye of the array is.
As the blood jade stone was placed, everyone in the tomb retreated, looking at the coffin intently. Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, a thick mist appeared out of thin air, filling the entire burial chamber.
At the same time, a faint blood-red light emerged from the burial chamber, forming a huge vortex that placed the coffin in it.
Under Jiang Lai's gaze, the blood-red light became more and more intense, and began to slowly penetrate into the coffin. Seeing this scene, he frowned secretly, what do these guys want to do?
Just when he was puzzled, a dull sound suddenly came, which instantly made everyone's faces change greatly.
To their horror, they discovered that the sound came from the coffin.
"This ...... What's going on?" Xu Jie's voice trembled a little, and what was happening in front of him was completely beyond his imagination. Is a man who has been dead for thousands of years going to be resurrected?
