Chapter Seventy-Two: The Weeping Holy Grandfather
"What's that sound?" Ying Lingyue asked, "Sounds weird. ”
Liao Xingyun shook his head, "I can't hear clearly, it's too vague." ”
"What the hell is this girl talking about? The voice is clear, but the pronunciation is very inaccurate. As soon as He Nuo said this, several people around him looked at him strangely.
Zhao Mingzhao asked directly, "Brother He Nuo, what did you say?" What a woman's voice. ”
"It's the sound that rings in your ears, can't you hear it clearly? The ethereal woman's voice that sounded just now sounded clearer. He Nuo asked.
Unexpectedly, as soon as He Nuo's words came out, the people around him looked at He Nuo like a monster.
Liao Xingyun looked at He Nuo's puzzled face, and said directly, "I didn't hear the woman's voice, I just heard a squeaky sound." ”
The people around nodded and echoed Liao Xingyun's statement.
He Nuo felt strange and thought, "The same voice, why does different people sound different, and why only me sound different from others?" Why is that? ”
But in an instant, the woman's voice disappeared.
At this moment, He Qingping pointed ahead, "Look! ”
Everyone looked up, only to see that unlike the ink-like viscous darkness of the fifth layer, the stone walls on both sides of this layer were embedded with moonstones, and the faint light spread out, adding a little bit of mysterious atmosphere.
It was a spiraling staircase with railings around it, and unlike the cramped passages above, the downward staircase was extremely spacious.
He Nuo took a closer look, the stairs were made of marble, faintly reflecting the shadow of people, and there was a small carved dragon on the railing every few steps, lifelike, with the dragon's head facing forward.
He Nuo touched it carefully and gently, looking at the material, it was made of a strange rock that could not be named, but there was a fragrance oozing, because of the lesson on the fourth layer, He Nuo had palpitations, and immediately took a few steps back.
Liao Xingyun saw this scene and knew what He Nuo was worried about, so he sneered and said, "This is Yuxi Stone, which is produced in Yuezhou in the south, this fragrance is the stone itself, and smelling it can make people feel refreshed, but it doesn't hurt." ”
However, Liao Xingyun looked forward and stuck out his tongue.
He Nuo was a little strange and looked at her suspiciously.
Liao Xingyun said, "This Yuxi stone is extremely rare, because it is naturally fragrant, it is already a great opportunity to get a piece on weekdays. ”
He Nuo couldn't help but think of the mysterious things he had heard about on the sixth floor of the Qianran Underground Palace, his father suddenly attacked He Qingcang here, and Ning Xianghou saw the shadow of Emperor Gao here, and knew that what he encountered on this layer would be extraordinary, and to wash away his father's grievances and find out the truth of the matter, only from this layer could he find out the answer. Thinking of this, He Nuo cheered up even more.
However, the next road was unusually smooth, the height of the stairs was appropriate, and it was very comfortable to walk, and the light of the moonstones on both sides illuminated the road under his feet, which gave He Nuo the illusion that they were not exploring, but just going down the stairs in an ordinary way.
As he walked deeper, some reliefs began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the stairs, He Nuo leaned over to see the contents of the reliefs, and at first some reliefs seemed to tell what happened before the establishment of the Jinyang Dynasty, a goshawk with wings outstretched, surrounded by worshippers.
He Nuo knew that the goshawk was the totem of the Yuyue Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and looking at the color of these reliefs, it was very ancient, thinking that the carvings of these reliefs might be before the establishment of the Jinyang Dynasty.
But there is nothing unique about this relief, the stories depicted in it are all things that he can see from the history books, but He Nuo still found a little difference in these reliefs, that is, in the back, among those people who surrounded the goshawk totem, there was a person with wings behind his back and seemed to be able to fly.
He Nuo secretly thought that Yu Qinlan, Yu Zimo, and even Yu Yufei he had just met were all descendants of the Yu family's royal family, but none of them could fly.
"These reliefs are generally exaggerated, such as the sculpture of the beast-faced human body and the sculpture of the human-faced beast body, I have seen a lot." He Nuo thought so.
"What's going on up front of this?" Liao Xingyun's voice beside him came.
Because he had to support Zhao Mingzhao, who was injured in his foot, Liao Xingyun had been with He Nuo all the time.
He Nuo raised his eyes and looked in a farther direction, and saw that the relief in front of him was a little messy, many lines were blurred, and he couldn't see what it was, it seemed that he had been smeared, but looking at the traces of this smearing, it had been some years, and it must have been a long time.
Ying Lingyue sighed, "History is written by the victors, it must have happened in the past, and the current people don't want people to know the truth, so they are erased." ”
He Qingping looked at these remaining lines, sighed, and said, "Why bother. ”
After this section of the relief that was smeared, the subsequent relief was much newer in color, and the style of the relief was also very different from before, first of all, a giant dragon hovering up, surrounded by a large group of worshippers.
He Nuo's heart sank, knowing that these reliefs must have been built by the Jinyang Dynasty, telling the story of the Jinyang Dynasty, he immediately cheered up and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, at the beginning, those stories are no different from the records in the history books, from Emperor Gao to establish the Jinyang Dynasty, to the Holy Grandfather He Qingcang's restoration of the country, many stories are vivid, and the portrayal is extremely exquisite, presumably countless craftsmen have paid their life's work.
But looking at it, He Nuo noticed two things worth paying attention to.
The first is to tell the relief of Emperor Gao He Qianran during the founding ceremony, in which Emperor Gao's Yushu is in the wind, the king is in the world, accepting the worship of his subjects, and his queen sitting next to him, He Nuo knows that Emperor Gao's queen of the main palace is also from the Lu family, but Emperor Gao's favorite woman is Mu Tianfei. But it seems that the craftsman did it deliberately, and the Empress Lu inside was smiling, but this smile was a little hideous, she didn't look at Emperor Gao, but tilted her head and looked in the other direction, He Nuo followed her gaze, and saw a woman in the crowd, wearing half a veil, but she couldn't hide her beauty, even if she was in the crowd, she couldn't erase her brilliance.
He Nuo was stunned in his heart, thinking that this woman might be Mu Tianfei, Mu Yanxi's ancestor, so this relief may be the only record of Mu Tianfei in the palace.
The second relief is the only one of these reliefs that record the story of the Jinyang Dynasty, the only one that has been smeared, but from the remaining lines, it can still be barely recognized that this is a reproduction of the scene when the Holy Grandfather returned to the country, led the troops to attack the Longxing Gate, only to see that in the relief, the Holy Grandfather rode a high-headed horse, followed by the banner and the army, the army in armor, the city gate behind it, the three words "Longxing Gate" were written, but the other contents were smeared.
At this time, almost everyone saw that something was wrong with this relief, gathered around, and looked at it carefully.
"Look, why is the Holy Grandfather on the relief crying?" Liao Xingyun was careful in the end, and after carefully looking at the expressions of the characters on the relief, he asked.
