Chapter 118 The moonlight refracts a surprising spectacle, and the cocoon is peeled off to see the iron box
I looked along the position pointed by the beggar, Chen Erdemon also walked to the grand building at the top of the steps, and every few steps, he knelt three times and bowed nine times, which was very pious!
We glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed the beggar.
Along the way, the wide stairs in front of you are all made of huge stone bars, and each stone bar is tightly seamed, and you can't find a single crack without careful observation. On both sides of the stone steps are neatly planted ancient cypresses, all of which are lush and green, and the branches are rising, and it seems that the trees are hundreds of years old.
We caught up with Chen Erdemon after a while, and Chen Erdemon was still worshipping as always, and seemed to not care about our arrival at all.
"I said Second Demon Master, does it make sense for you to do this? Your ancestors have been dead for so long, and you have been here twice, is it still necessary to be so religious? Seeing this, the beggar shouted.
"Shh......h
Chen Erdemon suddenly made a quiet movement, to me and the beggar!
The beggar was instantly quiet and looked around in a panic, after all, this is an ancient tomb buried deep in the ground!
After such a quiet moment, Chen Erdemon didn't take care of the two of us, but continued to do the actions just now, and the two of us had to follow Chen Eryou, step by step, towards the unknown world above!
After tossing and turning like this for almost half an hour, we finally came to the magnificent building at the top of the steps.
Only then did I see clearly that this building was a yurt made of stones, and the outer walls were painted with various battle scenes, with rivers of blood, thousands of arrows, and mountains of corpses. нéiУāпGê
Alas! The Mongols were warlike all their lives, and they also paid a considerable price!
Chen Erdemon didn't say anything, and walked straight to the gate of the yurt, and the beggar and I followed closely behind!
The space inside this yurt is very large, built against the mountain, the layout is exquisite, and it does not lose its majesty, just like a court of the Son of Heaven. A nine-phoenix dragon yellow wood cloud chair As for the top of the main hall, a pitch-black coffin above the dragon chair is suspended in the air, looking down at the court, and the court is arranged in turn to be some stone carving ministers with strange and abnormal expressions, a warm scene of the Yellow Emperor's court!
It's just that this pitch-black coffin is terrifying!
Seeing this, I have a little doubt in my heart, according to the "Secret History of Mongolia", this Temu brother has had the ambition of usurping the throne since the death of Genghis Khan, but unfortunately he was hindered by many things, and was finally killed by Kublai Khan. It is said that his grandson was also openly rebellious, and was finally wiped out by the central forces of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Two, this is the mausoleum of Brother Temu, the coffin hanging high above the emperor's throne is his coffin, but unfortunately it is already empty!" Chen Erdemon turned his head and said to us.
I looked around, except for some large funeral utensils that had not been stolen, the rest of the yurt had already been looted, and there were debris scattered everywhere on the ground!
I can't help but feel a little sad when I see it, such a deep ancient tomb has been destroyed beyond recognition by these greedy tomb robbers, you know, if these cultural relics are taken out to study the history of the Yuan, how historical value it is!
Forget it, let's not think about it for now, let's look around and see if there is any useful information that we can use.
After thinking about it, I went straight to the coffin, which was supposed to be the place where the most valuable treasures of the deceased were kept.
I took advantage of the stone pier that had been placed next to me, and stood up, the coffin lid was half open, and a snow-white human skeleton was scattered inside, looking at the length of this skeleton, I could faintly feel that the Temu brother was a tall and sturdy Mongolian man!
I took out the dragon scale dagger, looked through the coffin, and found nothing, and it seemed that everything of value had already been stolen by those tomb robbers, so I closed the lid of the coffin, walked on the throne, and looked around casually!
I went around the inside of the yurt and looked around with all the belongings, but I still couldn't find any valuable information. I was suddenly a little frustrated, this shouldn't be, even if the tomb robbers have been here, but they have taken away all the Ming vessels, they should not be interested in that kind of recorded documents and other things, why don't there be any written objects?
I kept thinking back and forth in the middle of this yurt......
Just when I was observing the yurt, the beggar also looked here and there with nothing to do, but he didn't find anything, and Chen Erdemon sat at the door of the yurt with his dry tobacco bag, smoking a big mouthful of dry tobacco, not knowing what he was thinking!
Just as I was turning back and forth in the middle of the yurt, a beam of light shone directly above my head, and it was a little dazzling for a moment.
"It's strange, I didn't say this place is in a cave, but where did this light come from? Could it be that a hole has been opened in the top of this cave? I muttered.
I looked up and looked at it again, but the top of the yurt was so tightly sealed that there was no light to let in.
I followed the light source, and then I realized that the light was refracted from the window of the yurt. I approached the window, and it turned out that the light was coming from the opposite cliff, and as for where the light on the cliff came from, I was a little far away, and I couldn't see clearly, which was really strange!
Could it be that this Temu brother specially exerted a little yang energy for his mausoleum? This is also not in line with the ancient principle of tomb feng shui, and I fell into a blank thought for a while.
When the beggar saw my appearance, he wondered, "Childe, why are you so interested in this light?" Tonight is the night of the fifteenth full moon, and it is normal to have light, so why bother with worthless things? Why don't you look for any treasures available! ”
The beggar's words suddenly woke me up, and I had that dream in Chen Erdemon's house during the day, and the Mongolian in the dream said that on the night of the full moon, at midnight, peep into the sky, and stand there.
Isn't this a hint to me?
My heart was overjoyed!
"What time is it?" I hurriedly asked the beggar.
"It's dark here, I don't know, but according to the time we entered the mountain, I'm afraid it's midnight!"
The beggar's answer confirmed my dream once again.
I squatted on the ground where the light was, and then gently knocked on the floor, feeling that it was empty, and then I gently knocked on the other surrounding floors, all of which were very thick, obviously there was something strange in the place where the light was!
I rejoice, there must be something on this floor!
My actions alarmed Chen Erdemon at the door, and he immediately walked over.
So, I took out the dragon scales, scratched a few gaps around the floor, and then used the tip of the dagger to gently pry a few times, but I didn't expect the floor to move a little effortlessly, I quickly let go, for fear that there would be some powerful mechanisms and poisons and other things released on the surface.
I gave the beggar and Chen Erdemon a hint with their eyes, they hurriedly walked away, I used a dagger to pry the floor up again, and waited quietly for a long time, there was no movement inside. I was relieved to come, and then with a little force, the floor flipped up, and I was already far away with a whimsical move.
After a moment, there was no movement, and the three of us moved over, only to see a rusty iron box on the floor appear in front of us!
When Chen Erdemon saw the box, he was taken aback, as if he knew this thing!
The beggar also seemed very excited, after running around for so long, he finally saw the treasure, thinking that he was going to reach out for the iron box, I stopped it, in this ancient mausoleum, there is a lot of news about the organs, you have to be careful everywhere, in case you are hit, it will be fatal!
The beggar smiled and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
I carefully studied the position and layout of the iron box, and tried a few more with the Luoyang shovel, but there was no movement, so I picked up Chen Erdemon's treasure knife, gently lifted the earrings of the iron box, lifted it little by little, and then gently put it on the ground.
Everyone is full of curiosity about this iron box in front of them, and it must be a treasure buried so secretly!
Judging from the weight I just cocked, there should be no gold and silver treasures in it, which may disappoint the beggar and the second demon master, maybe there is something we want to know inside.
I was about to open it, but a strange copper lock blocked our excitement of opening the tin box.
The beggar took the iron box and looked at it several times, but shook his head helplessly. It stands to reason that his master Liu Jiao should teach him some lock-picking skills, but the lock in front of him undoubtedly stumped the beggar, and the beggar shook his head with it!
"Second Demon Master, do you know what kind of lock this is? Is there a way to crack it? ”
Chen Erdemon looked very surprised the moment he saw the lock just now, but his expression was fleeting, as if he was hiding something, but this qiē couldn't hide it from my eyes, I was really seeing!
Chen Erdemon saw that I was staring at him tightly, waiting for his answer, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said slowly: "Could it be that this lock is the "Qiankun Gossip Ten Thousand Changing Lock" that has been legendary in our Mongolian population for generations? If so, without a key, it is simply impossible to open! ”
The beggar and I both looked at Chen Er Demon in surprise, I didn't expect him to know the name of this lock, it's really not simple! This Chen Er Demon can be said to be omniscient and omniscient!
"I know the name of this lock from the Mongolian genealogy, and I have never seen it in kind, let alone how to open this extremely strong copper lock!" Chen Erdemon saw our expressions like this, and hurriedly explained.
"Childe, why don't you use your dagger to cut this copper lock in half, and then it will be easy to open?" The beggar said.
It is said that the mechanism in this "Qiankun Bagua Ten Thousand Changing Lock" is complicated, if it is forcibly destroyed, the treasure inside will be burned by the sulfur hidden in the box, even if the lock is opened, what is the value at all? Chen Erdemon hurriedly interrupted the beggar's thoughts.
We were like deflated balls in an instant, holding the iron box but helpless!
At this moment, I can only meditate and see if I can find the key in this hall. So I wandered around and searched aimlessly, where there is a lock, there must be a key, and it is likely that this key is all around us, and we have just ignored it!
After shaking for a moment, those strange-shaped ministers just now came into my eyes, according to common sense, the people above the palace should be respectful. But if you look at these people, some of them are whispering in groups, some of you are talking to each other, and even worse, they are sitting on the floor and don't know what they are doing.
However, these shapes are lifelike, but they are a true reflection of the situation at the time, and this arrangement must have a deep meaning!
These ministers were closest to the front row of the emperor's throne, and one of them carried a plate with a stone tablet in it, and waited respectfully for the person on the throne to reply.
I walked over and looked at this ordinary stone slab, there was nothing special, but this person's posture was clearly extremely careful and waiting for the emperor to read it, is there any ulterior secret in it?
