Chapter 82: The Turtle in the Urn
As soon as the copper door was closed, we felt a little bad, seeing that I couldn't pull the copper door, Yu Aiting suddenly panicked, and ran over to help me pull the door together, at this time I felt that the copper door seemed to have been locked from the outside, no matter how hard it was in vain, my father waved his hand, signaling us not to waste any more strength, beckoning us to walk to the middle of the hall together.

The floor is made of granite, carved with flying dragon auspicious clouds, and the feet feel like pebbles. I was looking at the huge canvas when my dad patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the incense case in front of me and said, "Go over and have a look." ”
I nodded, and led them to the incense case.
This incense case is carved from precious sandalwood, a quiet sandalwood fragrance refreshes people's hearts, smells it makes people feel comfortable all over, and sleepiness is completely eliminated.
In the middle of the incense table is a bronze incense burner, perhaps because there is no fuel added, and no cigarette smoke is emitted.
On each side of the incense burner are placed two arm-thick white candles, some of which have been burned off, only half a foot high, and the melted wax oil adheres to the candles, like the dead branches of old trees, which is like a kind of artistic beauty.
Yu Aiting pointed ahead and said, "Look, this portrait is so strange. ”
When I looked up, I saw a one-to-one picture scroll hanging on the front wall behind the incense case, depicting an old man in a yellow dragon robe and a half-aged still charming, sitting on a double chair, behind them was a Tai Chi pattern outlined with a light brush.
Strange to say, this portrait is actually a simple copy of the emperor, and it seems to be no different from other portraits, but at first glance it always feels that something is wrong.
Uncle Liu observed for a moment, his face became a little ugly, and only after I asked him did he say, "It seems that we have stumbled into the imperial cemetery by mistake." The pigeon farm was built in the northwest of the pine forest mountain, and the obvious mausoleum was built in the southeast. ”
He doesn't need to say it, just by looking at the building, he knows that this is a palace building, and with this picture, the identity of the owner is about to come out. I've heard that there is an obvious mausoleum here that is a tourist attraction, and it's not uncommon to touch it, but what I wonder is that this portrait feels a little strange.
Uncle Liu glanced at us and said, "I know why you feel strange, it's obviously a portrait of the emperor, why does a Tai Chi pattern appear in the back, right?" ”
At this time, my father said: "I have learned about this obvious mausoleum before, it is said that it is the joint burial tomb of Emperor Jiajing's father Xingxian Wang and his mother Concubine Jiang, according to historical records, Emperor Jiajing was influenced by his father and advocated Taoist culture since he was a child, so it is reasonable to say that there is a shadow of Taoism on the pattern and portrait of the imperial tomb." ”
I have no interest in this kind of orthodox history at all, in ancient times, the emperors were all religious people, either Taoism, or Buddhism, all changes do not deviate from their sects, some emperors even advocate to the end of the throne and become a monk, such examples are not uncommon, I am strange is not this combination of emperors and Taoism, but the characters in this portrait!
I asked, "Don't you see that something is wrong with this portrait?" Yu Aiting seemed to think the same as me, and immediately nodded when she heard the words, looking at Uncle Liu and her father.
They first looked at each other, then looked at the portrait in unison.
I saw that the king of Xingxian in the portrait was sitting in a precarious position, with a solemn expression, while the concubine Jiang was smiling, and her grace and luxury were undoubtedly displayed.
The Concubine Jiang in the portrait is not very beautiful, but for some reason, as long as you look at her, there is a special attraction, which makes people reluctant to take their eyes off, if you stare at it for a long time, you will feel that she is more and more beautiful and enchanting, and the smiling face is even more charming.
Dad was a little speechless, he took a deep breath and said, "This portrait is not simple. ”
Uncle Liu thought so deeply and echoed: "Indeed, it seems to have a kind of magic, and I can't say it clearly." ”
I bypassed the incense case, stood under the portrait and looked at it carefully, suddenly found the problem, and hurriedly said: "Look, there seems to be a tail under her seat!" ”
I saw a little fluffy yellow thing under her luxurious long skirt, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, I said why do you always feel that something is wrong with the picture, it turns out that the problem is here.
Dad suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Quick, look at it, this ...... It's like a yellow skin! ”
The combination of the half-exposed tail tip and slightly squinted eyes really resembles the yellow skin.
As soon as Dad said this, the portrait suddenly changed a little, the tip of the tail that originally appeared suddenly disappeared, and the slightly squinted eyes seemed to open, this scene suddenly startled us, and even Uncle Liu couldn't help but take two steps back.
At this moment, the light of the miner's lamp suddenly dimmed a lot, obviously a sign of insufficient power, Dad grabbed a thick candle, lit it with a lighter and said: "Xiao Feng, turn off the light, save some electricity." ”
The miner's lamp uses the battery as the power source, due to the long-term opening, the temperature of the battery will slowly rise, so that the chemical reaction of the chemicals in it will be accelerated, turn it off and cool it for a period of time before turning it on, and the power will be longer than the previous use, which is what people call virtual electricity. We haven't even settled Huang Xiangu now, let alone getting out of this place, there are more places that need electricity at that time, and it's always good to save some electricity.
I turned off the miner's lamp and asked, "We seem to have fallen into Huang Xiangu's trap, what should we do?" ”
"It wants us to be turtles in an urn? This wishful thinking is also too good! Uncle Liu's smile was a little hideous because of the injuries to his legs and the back of his neck, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Put the old nest in the emperor's mausoleum, and want to use the energy of the dragon vein to increase your cultivation?" I have to peel it off today! ”
A large part of the reason why we have fallen into such a field now is due to Huang Pizi, and it is no wonder that Uncle Liu is so angry. Dad patted him on the shoulder for comfort, suddenly turned his head, his eyes lit up, and shouted, "Get out!" As he spoke, he suddenly bypassed the incense case and rushed into the curtain wall behind him from the side.
As soon as he ran like this, the candle in his hand was almost extinguished by the wind, but fortunately the candle was thicker and the wick was thicker, and it was obvious that it should be made of good materials, so it did not plunge us into darkness.
I grabbed another white candle, and Yu Aiting hurriedly helped Uncle Liu to follow, turned the curtain wall to look, and was dumbfounded, the white candle held by my father fell to the ground on its side, and the faint fire still continued tenaciously. In front of the candle was a steep downward staircase, and it seemed that it should be my father's corner and he didn't have time to react and fell down.
I quickly picked up the candle and held it in my hand, and then walked down the stairs together.
At this moment, the staircase suddenly shook violently, and when I looked up, I saw a huge stone slab pressing against the staircase, trapping us tightly!
