Chapter 283: Revisiting the Underground Palace
In the midst of the busyness, Xiao Zhanfei suddenly spoke: "Princess, there seem to be a lot of ancient characters of the Fish-Man Clan here, you can take a look at what to say." β
Duanmu Youning leaned over with a torch, and found that those ancient characters were engraved on the upper right side of the stone wall, so he read softly: "Life is the same as the same cave, death is the same cave, no matter whether you live or die, you will never abandon it, my beloved wife and I will sleep here forever! If you dare to disturb the undead, you will be punished by heaven-this is the second warning, it seems that Murong Liao is not worried that someone will go to great lengths to find this place because he covets this huge wealth." β
"Hmm. Xiao Zhanfei nodded, "It's a pity that the people who can find this place are determined to win, how can they be scared off by a few words from him? If he really doesn't want to live in peace after death, he shouldn't have built this underground palace, let alone moved so many gold and silver treasures in, isn't this looking for a draw?"
Duanmu Youning couldn't help laughing: "It's the lord of a country, save him some face." What's more, it is very secret that he went here to build this underground palace, and if it weren't for the coincidence, we wouldn't have found this place. Otherwise, why has it been quiet for nearly a thousand years?"
"The most regrettable thing is that Murong Liao tried his best to build this underground palace, and even caused the disaster of the country, but in the end he buried his bones elsewhere and failed to bury him in this feng shui treasure land. Xiao Zhanfei sighed, speechless to the unlucky emperor, "But speaking of which, in that case, it should be empty inside, right?" There are no bones of Murong Liao and Hua Jinse......
Duanmu Youning shook his head and sighed slightly: "It's true that there are no bones of them, but the inside must not be empty! Have you forgotten? In order to keep the secret, Murong Liao ordered people to close the tomb door, and all the people who entered the construction inside died in it!"
Imagining the scene full of bones, Xiao Zhanfei couldn't help but smack his tongue: "All? Didn't Prince Yuwen say that there were hundreds of thousands of people who built the underground palace in the first place? If all of them were poisoned, how could they be held here?"
"It's true that hundreds of thousands of people participated, but they didn't come at the same time, but in batches. Yu Wenheng took over the conversation, and briefly explained a few words while looking for it, "In order to build this underground palace as soon as possible, Murong Liao ordered the craftsmen to work non-stop, and many people died every day, and then a lot of people were sent inβI said before that in order to keep it secret, they were all sent in by the Imperial Forest Army after they were unconscious. β
Xiao Zhanfei became more and more stammering: "It's really ...... It's a big battle, but isn't Murong Liao afraid that the Royal Forest Army will reveal secrets?"
"I'm afraid!" Yu Wenheng sneered, "so he sends the same group of Imperial Forest Soldiers to take charge of this matter every time, and plans to kill them when the matter is completed." β
Xiao Zhanfei scratched his head and sighed: "Kill this and that all day long, is he tired?"
"Tired!" Yu Wenheng nodded, "But for the sake of Hua Jinse, no matter how tired he is, he is willing." Although Hua Jinse didn't end well in the end, he was able to be treated like this by a man in his life, and it was worth dying. β
"That's right," Xiao Zhanfei nodded, returning to Fang Cai's question, "You mean that when the tomb door was closed in the end, there weren't actually many craftsmen inside?"
Yu Wenheng nodded: "Not bad." At the time of the city's ruin, the underground palace had been built to the fullest, and only the final renovation work remained, so naturally it did not require too many people, according to historical records, there may have been hundreds of people. β
No wonder. The palace is large in scale and can accommodate hundreds of people, so naturally there is no problem.
During the conversation, everyone had been looking for a long time, but they still didn't find anything, so they had to stop and rest for a while. Turning his head to look around, Suo Tianli suddenly spoke: "Prince Yuwen, didn't you say that the inside of the underground palace is a civil structure, but it is plated with a layer of gold inside and out? Why is this gate normal?"
Yu Wenheng frowned: "Everything I said is recorded in historical materials, naturally I didn't see it with my own eyes, and it is normal to have discrepancies with the facts." What's more, this stone wall may not be the gate of the underground palace, maybe the real gate is behind the stone wall!"
With a sigh of relief, the group got up again and looked for clues to open the wall. Duanmu's condensed divine eye can't be used continuously in a short period of time, otherwise why bother with all this effort?
Recovering from the small talk, she activated her eyes again, and then smiled slightly: "I found it!"
Not surprised, everyone immediately gathered around her. I saw her raise her hand and press the top of a phoenix's head, and a thin crack appeared on the wall that was originally smooth as a mirror: Okay, Fang is the dragon, and now it has changed to a phoenix?
However, the top of the phoenix's head was not abnormal, and it was not even as smooth as the dragon's eye than elsewhere, how could she see it? If it were for me, even if she looked at it for another hundred years, she wouldn't see the slightest difference! Yu Wenheng looked at Duanmu Youning quietly, his eyes deep.
Looking at the slit, Tanglin Guyun frowned: "How does this look like a keyhole?
Duanmu Youning smiled: "No, I can." Lord Wang, borrow Zhanfei's long sword and use it. β
Xiao Zhanfei immediately pulled out his sword and handed it over, and Tanglin Guyun took it in his hand, waiting for her to command. Duanmu Youning stared at the slit, waved his hand to order everyone to retreat, and then said word by word: "Slowly insert the sword through the slit, and I will tell you when to stop." β
Tanglin Guyun nodded and did so, but she didn't know that Duanmu Youning had already shown a strange picture in front of her eyes! Her eyes had already penetrated the stone wall and saw the mechanism embedded in it! The mechanism was so complicated that if it wasn't for the maker or someone who knew the inside story, it would never be able to open it even if she had a key!
At that time, the Datong Empire really produced many talents, but unfortunately they were all wasted in the hands of Murong Liao.
The Divine Eye couldn't last too long, Duanmu Youning didn't dare to delay, and pointed at Donglin Guyun to move the mechanism little by little with the tip of the sword, and after a while, she only heard a crisp sound, and she immediately showed joy on her face: "It's done! But just in case, please retreat farther!"
With the experience of yesterday's previous car, everyone naturally did not dare to disobey, and quickly retreated to a safe place, unconsciously holding their breath, so as not to accidentally be poisoned.
Taking a deep breath, Duanmu Youning continued: "Lord Wang, I estimate that the stone gate will open as soon as the long sword is pulled out, in order to ensure safety, let's also retreat." β
As she spoke, she untied the belt around her waist and tied it to the hilt of her sword, and then stepped back with Tanglin Guyun. Seeing that the distance was about the same, she whispered, "Everyone!
Out of the word "has", Tanglin Guyun's arm shook suddenly, and the long sword flew back into his hand like lightning!
After waiting for a while, the door was still quiet, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Yu Wenheng even smiled and said: "It seems that Murong Liao thinks that the few checkpoints outside are enough to block those who come here, so he no longer sets up mechanisms." Let's go in and see!"
Despite this, he did not let his guard down at all, and as he slowly approached, he held the long sword in front of him, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. One of the guards he brought with him was also really loyal, and he was not afraid to die by his side, so that he could protect him at any time.
The crowd followed, but they were one step slower than him, and they heard him scream with sudden excitement: "Ah! the underground palace has been found at last!"
Got it?!
Everyone was first shocked, then happy, and immediately quickened their pace and rushed over, standing side by side in front of the stone gate that had just opened, and exclaimed in unison: "Underground Palace?!"
Yes, it's an underground palace, and it's a real underground palace!
Behind this stone wall is no longer a narrow passage, but a small courtyard, as if the open space in front of the master's bedroom in the palace is still paved with cyan marble, and there is a stone table and several stone benches next to it, and there is a white tea tray with a tea set on the table!
Seeing this strange scene, everyone couldn't help but shudder: if all this was placed on the ground, it would be normal, but if it appeared in the ghostly underground, it would be ......
And this is naturally not the most eye-catching, because what really makes everyone exclaim is the tall and majestic palace in front of the courtyard!
On the first look, the palace is indeed almost the same size as the real palace, and although the light is dim, you can still see its carved beams and paintings, which is breathtaking! Although the exterior walls are not plated with a layer of gold as recorded in the historical records, the grandeur is enough to make people speechless!
There is a plaque hanging above the palace gate, with three big characters of "Tibetan Jade Palace" written on it, but it is flickering golden light against the background of the candle, which is obviously named after the palace where Hua Jinse lived before his death. At this moment, the two vermilion lacquer doors were tightly closed, and there was not the slightest sound around, as if the owner of the palace was taking a nap, and no one was allowed to disturb him......
The palace has too much sense of history, coupled with the surrounding forest and ghost atmosphere, it is more and more atmospheric and dare not breathe, even Yu Wenheng, who has always been keen on treasures, unconsciously felt a chill on his back, and he was covered in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to move forward half a step again!
I don't know how long it took for the guard who was with him to remind him softly: "Lord Wang, do you want to move on?"
Yuwen Heng woke up like a dream, but he didn't make his own decisions, and turned his head to look at Duanmu Youning: "Princess, look at this ......"
Duanmu Youning shook his head: "There is a mechanism, don't break in." β
Yu Wenheng was taken aback: "Where is the organ?"
"On the ground," Duanmu Youning stretched out his hand and pointed, "If Prince Yuwen doesn't believe it, just try it." β
With that, she wrapped her clothes around and threw her hands on the blue marble floor. After a while, I only heard the sound of swishing through the air, and all kinds of hidden weapons shot from all directions, causing a strong fishy smell!
Everyone couldn't help frowning slightly, and each covered their mouths and noses and stepped back. It wasn't until the hidden weapon was no longer fired that Yu Wenheng spoke again: "Is it okay?
