The owner of this underground mausoleum is also about to come out, Gao Baorong, the king of Nanping.

There are very few records of Gao Baorong in history, only recording that he reigned for 12 years, and was the third son of Gao Conghai and the third monarch of Nanping.

The history books say that Gao Baorong has a pedantic and slow temperament, and has no talent and intelligence, so no matter how big or small, he appoints his younger brother Gao Baorong to make decisions.

Later, Gao Baorong died of illness, and because the prince was young, he passed on his younger brother Gao Baorong. After two years of reign, Gao Baorong also died of illness, and before his death, he passed the throne to Gao Baorong's eldest son, the eldest prince.

Liu Xi briefly told Qiu Changsheng about this history, and speculated that the owner of this mausoleum was Gao Baorong.

When Qiu Changsheng heard this, he also felt that Liu Xi's analysis was reasonable.

"However, if the owner of this ancient tomb is Gao Baorong, then what exactly does he belong to now?" Qiu Changsheng asked again.

Gao Baorong has been dead for more than a thousand years, so what is it that is manipulating the ancient tomb at this moment?

Ghost or zombie, or something else?

What was the purpose of Gao Baorong's construction of this underground mausoleum? Is it really to settle in the ground? Or is there some other purpose?

An unknown emperor of a small country in ancient times, who devoted all his national strength to build a huge underground mausoleum, is mediocre at best, why is it worth the awakened candle Jiuyin to spend thirty years staying here?

One question after another surged in the hearts of the two, and the two suddenly felt that this ancient tomb was in danger, and the water was quite deep.

"Let's take a look around first. ”

Liu Xi said that it is impossible to confirm it by guessing here, so it is better to test it on the spot, and maybe you can find the corresponding clues.

Qiu Changsheng naturally had no opinion, summoned a dragon-shaped flying sword, and carried him and Liu Xi with the sword,

This ancient tomb was built against a mountain, perhaps it was originally a mountain, and the inside was hollowed out to build a mausoleum.

The center of the mountain was completely hollowed out, and the burial chambers were all built in the inner mountain wall, so it appears that each burial chamber is separated from each other and has no road to each other.

The burial chamber is divided into 6636 floors, starting from the inner side of the mountain and going up all the way to the top of the mountain, with a total of 36 burial chambers.

Obviously, this burial chamber is hierarchical, like a small country.

There are four classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, the lowest layer of the tomb is the slave, and then the servants, the poor, the merchants, the handicraftsmen, the high-ranking officials and the royal relatives, the top of the mausoleum, is naturally the tomb of the owner of the tomb, and the surrounding tomb is his harem beauty.

The huge locust tree, like a pillar to heaven, grew from the bottom of the mountain to the peak. The locust tree flowers that bloom every year accumulate to form layers of white clouds, making the whole mausoleum seem to be in a fairyland, like a fairy.

Growing from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, almost more than 700 meters, this huge locust tree is really a towering ancient tree.

The two of them walked with their swords, and went down from the highest point along the ancient locust tree, and clearly saw that there were hundreds of burial chambers on each floor. There are 36 floors up and down, hundreds of burial chambers at a time, and at least tens of thousands of people were buried here.

Most of these people should have been soldiers, palace concubines and eunuchs who were martyred by order, craftsmen and laborers who built mausoleums, and some generals and ministers who died of illness and war......

It stands to reason that most of these people were by no means voluntarily martyred, and they must be angry after death.

But the strange thing is that Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng went all the way down without noticing the slightest resentment.

The whole mausoleum was empty and lonely, and there was no time, as if this was a mausoleum where no one had visited it for a thousand years.

"There are no traps, no traps. Qiu Changsheng said.

When Liu Xi heard this, her brows furrowed slightly.

Even when a rich man builds a tomb, he has to design a few kinds of quicksand and the like to prevent people from robbing the tomb after death. The dignified king of Nanping, the emperor's mausoleum built with exhaustion of national strength, will there be no traps?

That's impossible!

Unless the owner of the burial chamber thinks it is not necessary, there is no mechanism.

Liu Xi became more and more confused, she admitted that she actually couldn't understand this mediocre and incompetent Gao Baorong in history.

But then, Liu Xi discovered another interesting thing.

The old locust tree is not ordinary, but very leafy. At each level of the mausoleum, the old locust tree has to stretch out its branches and build on top of those burial chambers.

And if you look closely, you can see that each burial chamber has at least one branch attached. The branches are bare and leafless, and the surface is an iron-gray color, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable to look at.

"Interesting. ”

Liu Xi said with a smile: "Could it be that when this mausoleum was designed, this ancient locust tree was a staircase connecting the various layers of the tomb? This design is quite interesting, how can the designer be sure that this ancient locust tree can grow into a towering ancient tree in the dark mausoleum?"

"Trees need nutrients to grow, sunlight is essential, and other nutrients are also indispensable. But in this hollowed-out mountain, how can there be any nutrients and water to irrigate the growth of locust trees?"

Liu Xi said again: "But the strange thing is that this locust tree really grows from the bottom of the mountain to the peak, and each layer of the tomb will spread its branches and leaves, where does the nutrition come from for it to grow and develop?"

Qiu Changsheng suddenly said coldly: "How can there be a lack of nutrients in the ancient tomb, the ancient tomb is very rich in nutrients." ”

"There is no one in the ancient tomb, all are dead people, who fertilizes and waters the trees, is it a dead man......"

When Liu Xi said this, his face suddenly changed, and he instantly thought of something in his mind, and looked at Qiu Changsheng in surprise.

Qiu Changsheng smiled slightly and nodded at her.

Liu Xi was silent.

There is indeed no shortage of nutrients in ancient tombs, whether it is for rats or insects, or for trees, it is a place of abundant resources.

It is only necessary to solve the problem that trees cannot survive without sunlight, then the mausoleum is indeed the best place for trees to grow.

So many dead people, so much flesh and blood, how rich must it be when they rot?

Moreover, Liu Xi looked up at the branches that stretched into each burial chamber, and suddenly felt extremely disgusting.

This tree was originally grown up eating people, and it ate all dead people.

Moreover, it still actively eats people.

The corpses of more than 10,000 people fed a towering giant tree that would never have grown so tall on the ground.

A man-eating locust tree that doesn't need sunlight, isn't this a shade tree?

Just as a mastiff is a Gu made from a dog, a lynx is a Gu made from a cat, and Biao is a Gu made from a tiger, trees can actually be refined into Gu.

The Gu of the tree, the name is Yin Tree.

It doesn't need sunlight or rain, as long as it has enough flesh and blood, it can keep growing. Or rather, in order to get food, it will work hard to grow.

No wonder the tree is able to grow from the bottom to the peak, as it has to grow taller to eat a higher layer of flesh.

It turns out that the original designer of the mausoleum had thought of this a long time ago, and even took advantage of this to really turn the Yin Tree into a ladder of the mausoleum.

The question is: for whom is the ladder for?
