The main hall of the Spirit Palace
A few people continued to move forward, came to the center of the main hall of the Spirit Palace, a jade platform appeared in front, surrounded by a huge bronze statue with several human heads and bird bodies, and a large black tone stood on the jade platform, this statue is not a person, like a twisted pillar crawling with lichen, it looks like a huge locust, it looks unusually weird.
"What the hell is this? Isn't there a sitting statue of the tomb owner in the spiritual hall? Does the owner of the tomb look like this? The fat man was very strange and asked Monk Hua.
Monk Hua looked at it and said, "This may be the alienated 'Immortal Heaven' in the Eastern Xia religion, their main god. β
"This god is too slippery." The fat man muttered. "What's the difference with a mallet for laundry?"
Wu Xie patted the fat man and asked him to accumulate some virtue, they are still on its territory now, he is not afraid of retribution.
However, this weird black totem, Wu Xie knew that it was not Changshengtian, although he didn't know about the shaman, but he knew that Changshengtian had no image, Changshengtian represented a ubiquitous and infinite power, and it was a kind of cosmic worship.
The environment here does give people an inexplicable sense of tension, except for Chen Pi Ah Si or that stinky face, only the little brother and Mengli are extremely calm, and everyone else is more or less a little strange.
But if the shrine is not a shrine of worship in the spirit hall, then what should be placed is the sitting statue of the tomb owner, is it really as the fat man said, the patriarch of the Dongxia Emperor is like this? Impossible? This - this is not the shape of a human being at all, this looks more like the evil god in Haitian fetishism, Wu Xie thought that when he was watching an exhibition in Shanghai, he saw it once, and the gods over there were like a pot, like a giant mollusk.
Wu Xie suddenly remembered the record in the copper fish: The Dongxia royal family are all monsters dug out of the ground, is this the thing? No, this thing can be said to be a demon, and he believes that the Dongxia people will not be frustrated enough to recognize a pot as an emperor.
It would be nice to know what is written in the other two copper fish. Wu Xie said in his heart, there is no need to guess so hard, I don't know when I will have this opportunity.
They walked around, only to find that there was a bronze monkey with gilded green face and fangs in the beak of those human-faced birds, Wu Xie and they all felt puzzled, in the Ming Dynasty it was the Iron Age, but why bronze. The question was also irrelevant, they didn't think much about it.
"It's really strange, there is nothing in this Spirit Palace Hall! There should be a giant tripod for sacrificial purposes and an ever-bright lantern, and there are many funeral goods, and the king of ten thousand slaves is so stingy that even his relatives are unwilling to share something. The fat man saw that there was nothing here, and he was strange and a little disappointed.
"What? Do you want to start moving the brightener here? Wu Xie looked at the fat man and said meaningfully.
"Comrade naΓ―ve, if you take out a few bright artifacts from here, then the study of human history will go further. I'm all for archaeology. The fat man said confidently.
Come on, as soon as I heard this, everyone present knew the fat man's mind in their hearts, and they didn't bother to poke him out. They continued to walk inside, and saw the end of the main hall, where there was also a jade door, made of four white marble pieces embedded together, and the door shaft was coiled with a hundred-legged dragon fired in glass. Several people pried the door open, and behind the door was the corridor leading to the apse of the Spirit Palace, which was pitch black.
Mengli knows that the apse is generally the entrance to the underground palace, and there is usually a decorative coffin, lit with immortal candles, which will not be extinguished all year round, or there are a large number of funerary goods. The entrance was in the apse, but the closer she got to the apse, the more something didn't feel right.
Mengli looked at the little brother, and saw that the little brother's face did not change at all, but kept moving forward.
Around the corridors, there are murals painted on them, all of which are hundred-legged dragons coiled in the clouds, coiled, soaring, and many soldiers wearing furs, bowing to the hundred-legged dragons in the sky.
Although several people felt puzzled and suspected that it was a two-story mural, but it was not, and in the end, it was because the Dongxia people admired this hundred-legged dragon very much, so they painted so many murals.
After walking for about two hundred meters, the corridor reached the end, and the apse arrived. The layout of the apse is almost the same as that of the main hall, but it is much smaller, and they can see that there are still murals of hundred-legged dragons on the walls of the temple around them. However, theoretically, the apse should have nothing, and like the main hall, everyone present felt very strange. There are three black Raven Panlong stone beds in the middle, which should be the coffin platform, that is, after the coffin is carried in, it is temporarily placed on it.
On the ground behind the three stone beds, there is a huge square stone slab protruding, on which two human-faced strange birds are carved, presenting a wrapping shape, and the middle of the stone slab is embossed with the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
"This is the tombstone, and the entrance to the underground palace is just below here." Panzi said.
They searched around the apse, found nothing, and there were no passages around, so they came to the side of the tombstone.
The little brother squatted down and carefully inspected the blue brick floor on the side of the stone slab of the tomb, and made sure that there was nothing wrong.
"At this time, look at the fat man." The fat man shook his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves, and then went up and lifted it hard, not moving at all. Even the fat man couldn't move it, so it seemed that this tombstone was really heavy, so the fat man beckoned Wu Xie and the little brother to help together.
Mengli watched them move the tombstone vigorously, the strength was not covered, the stone slab was slowly pushed aside by them, and when I looked down, there was no trace of the entrance of the secret passage under the stone platform, but the same green bricks as the side.
"What the hell is this fooling me?!" The fat man said breathlessly, his face even redder.
"What's going on?" Pan Zi looked down there strangely, "Is this tombstone fake?" Is it an ornament? β
"No way, this is the most basic funeral style, you won't play this if you play anything, the entrance must be here." Monk Hua said with certainty.
"If people don't follow common sense, you can't do anything about them." Mengli said with a smile, the underwater tombs of Wang Zanghai are all out of common sense, if this is not the entrance to the underground palace, it is not strange.
"Could it be sealed under this layer of green bricks?" Ye Cheng asked.
"Whatever, it's rare to go back to the imperial tomb anyway, and you have to find the entrance if it's demolished." The fat man said.
The little brother squatted down and used his strange long fingers to perform the bricks with his bare hands for the people present again, Monk Hua and Ye Cheng were dumbfounded, Mengli, Wu Xie and the fat man said that they had seen a lot, and they were not surprised, but they felt that the two fingers of the little brother were made of steel and were really omnipotent.
Wu Xie and the others also went up to help, and dug out the bricks with a pickaxe, and finally, after digging seven layers of green bricks, they still didn't see the entrance they expected, but they revealed a black two-headed stone carved turtle, and the pattern on the turtle's shell was actually carved with a woman's face.
"What's going on? What about the tomb gate? "This is theoretically supposed to be the entrance to the place, and there is a stone turtle buried. Wu Xie thought.
Mengli raised her eyes, and said in a flat voice: "Let's move out first, let's see what's under the turtle?" "In fact, it is already clear at a glance that under this stone turtle is a black mountain rock, and they have dug to the bottom of the hole.
"Huh?" When the fat man was moving the stone turtle, he seemed to have found something, and when he looked again, he saw the sapper shovel hanging on the fat man's waist, and I don't know why it was stuck to the turtle's back.
The fat man broke it out, and as soon as he let go, the sapper shovel sucked it in again.
"This stone turtle has a magnet!" Wu Xie exclaimed in surprise.
The fat man threw a few coins again, and when he snorted, he sucked firmly, "God, such a big magnet, the owner of this tomb collects scrap iron?" β
Chen Pi Ah Si heard the movement and walked up, Monk Hua reported the situation to him, Chen Pi Ah Si's face suddenly became ugly, he looked at the stone turtle, took out the compass from his pocket, and when he saw it, he angrily threw the compass to the ground, and said coldly: "Damn Wang Zanghai, we have been deceived!" This funeral mausoleum is a trap! We've been tricked! β
"Old man, what's going on?" Wu Xie and the others were all frightened by his sudden temper, and Monk Hua hurriedly asked what the situation was.
"The dragon veins here have made hands and feet, these three old dragons are fake, and the direction of the dragon's head is wrong." Chen Pi Ah Si said.
Looking at the situation in front of them, Mengli knew that it should be this stone turtle that had been misleading them, so the Spirit Palace they came to now was fake.
