Chapter 218: Ten Dragons

This is the end of the mural.

After I finished reading it. Learned that the copper box contained a ball. But it is not clear that the copper box has obviously been presented to the queen by the Tibetan monks. How did it end up in that mysterious cave? It is even more unclear how to open the copper box.

"And here."

Leng Yue saw that Shen Dali and I were still confused after reading the mural. Take us out of the distance. Pointing to the stone bricks on the ground. Let me and Shen Dali continue to watch.

There are paintings on the ground drills. But the painting is even rougher. It's like someone carved it with a knife later.

Because the drawing is so bad. Shen Dali and I spent a long time. I barely understood what it was trying to say.

After the death of the Great Queen. He was buried here. There are countless burial items. Among them was the copper box. and was placed on top of a ship-shaped coffin.

The Tibetan monks did not know what their considerations were. Enter the tomb through the dark passage with a plum vase. Replace the copper box with a plum bottle. And took away the copper box.

The painting does not indicate where he went after leaving the tomb. It just shows that he ends up holding the copper box. Died in a cave.

It dawned on me. Figure it out right away. The corpse I saw. It turned out to be the Tibetan monk in the painting. It also became clear that my copper box should indeed be a relief ball.

The clothes on the Tibetan monk's body have passed with the passage of time. Eventually turned to dust. But the Tibetan monk's body did not decay. Hold the copper box and sleep for a long time. Until I was led by the giant rat.

A question was answered. But more doubts came to my mind. Makes my mind a little confused.

What the hell is this stone ball? How come there were people fighting during the Yuan Dynasty. And was valued by the great queen.

Why did the Tibetan monks spend so much effort to build such a ship-shaped tomb?

Historically. Are there really dwarves?

……

Too many questions. I was a little out of breath.

I shook my head vigorously. No more useless thinking. Then he frowned and asked Leng Yue: "You've been to that cave." How did you find the past? ”

Leng Yue nodded. Sort of an answer to my first question. But I just ignored my second question.

Since he didn't want to say. I didn't bother to ask again. He let me guess again. It's easy to get angry with me and hurt inside.

After calming down for a while. I asked Leng Yue: "You said there is a way to open this copper box." How to open. ”

Leng Yue said to me seriously, "Help me." ”

I waved my hand impatiently and said, "I don't want my life to accompany you here." You're here to see these murals. Go ahead. What do you want me to do. ”

Leng Yue actually showed a hint of a smile. I was a little surprised.

It seems like. I've seen him smile more than once lately. It turns out that he still has a normal human expression.

Cold Moon gestured to the building in the darkness in the distance. Motioned for me to come with him.

Shen Dali was very uneasy about this. Grabbed my arm. Shake your head at me. As if fearing danger near the building.

It's no wonder he's worried. In this tomb. On this huge stone ship. We didn't take a single step and we were safe. Several times I almost lost my life.

But. Since I promised Leng Yue. Not to mention that we're already here. There's no reason to stop.

I nodded to Shen Dali. Whispered, "Don't worry. You can wait for us here. ”

Shen Dali shook his head and said, "Fifth brother." It's not that I'm afraid. I'm worried about you. Who knows what this cold moon is up to. Or maybe not. Give me the broken box. I'll go with him. ”

I pretended to be relaxed and smiled. Shook his head. Pull away his hand that was holding me. Turn around and chase Leng Yue.

Shen Dali was so angry that he let out an "oops". Quickly chased after him.

The building doesn't seem to be very far away from us. But it was built on the very edge of the roof of the ship. We walked for a long time to get to its vicinity.

Because it's close. I could see the building by the light of the flashlight.

The building appears to have been carved out of a single monolith. All in one piece.

In the center is an octagonal stone platform. In the center of the stone platform is a stone carved human hand. It is in the form of a lift. But there was nothing in the palm of that hand.

The stone platform is surrounded by a huge screen conjoined body. It is carved with five dragons. entwined with each other.

The five dragons were of different shapes. Some swallow clouds and spit fog. Some are fighting for fireballs. Some of them showed their teeth and claws in the direction of the stone platform......

In ancient times, numbers were very important. Identity is usually represented by numbers.

And the number "nine". Regarded as the highest. Only the emperor dared to use it. But the emperor didn't dare to use a full number like "ninety-nine". After all, there are gods. There is a nether underneath. Therefore, he only dares to call it "the Ninth Five-Year Supreme".

The queen is considered the mother of the world. But after all, the identity is still not comparable to the emperor. Even the number "nine" can't be used. So here the five dragon reliefs were designed. Downstairs there are five copper tripods.

But. There shouldn't be a dragon pattern here. The most reasonable thing should be a hundred birds and a phoenix.

Suddenly. I was shocked. Because there are new discoveries.

On the ground in the gap between the stone platform and the center of the screen. There are even five dragons engraved. Together with the addition on the screen. I actually made up the "ten". Attaining the number of Dzogchen.

I suddenly remembered. There aren't just five tripods downstairs. The combined number turned out to be ten.

Don't. Is this the joint tomb of an emperor and the empress of the Yuan Dynasty?

But if so. Why did the tomb keeper only mention the Empress but never mention the Emperor?

Mongolia worships the heavenly immortals. The number of Dzogchen represents the heaven of eternal life. Don't. The master here actually regarded himself as having the same status as the Immortal Heaven. What a disrespect this is.

I'm thinking about it. saw that Leng Yue had walked to the top of the screen at some point.

Shen Dali couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn." How did you get up. ”

Leng Yue pointed to the edge of the screen. and motioned for me to place the copper box on the hand in the center of the stone platform.

I rummaged through my backpack for a while. Remove the copper box. Carefully place it on the palm of the stone hand.

I just noticed it recently. The stone hand was not a human hand. It's the dragon's claw.

"Come on." Leng Yue pointed to the other side and said to me.

I walked around to the edge of the screen. It was found that there was a stone staircase behind the screen.

The stone steps are very narrow. I can only step on my toes. I had to share my hands and feet to climb up.

Just to the top. Leng Yue hurriedly asked me to stop.

At this time. Leng Yue and I each stood on two corners of the screen. And on my side is the abyss that goes down steeply and has no bottom in sight. On the other side is a huge stone screen carved in relief with dragon patterns.

"Learn from me." Leng Yue said. Leaning sideways on the stone screen. Leaning down hard.

I shined a flashlight on it. The middle and forefinger of one of his hands were pressed against the eyes of a dragon.

He asked me to learn from him. It's hard to learn his movements.

Think of it this way. I also turned around and leaned on the screen. I reached out and fumbled for a while. I even touched the eyes of a dragon.

"After the countdown. Press down together. Leng Yue said. The countdown began.

"Three. Two. One. Press. ”
