It was dark and the rain was pouring down.

In Lu County, heavy rain poured.

A team of men and horses, with great difficulty, braved the rain and marched on the muddy mountain road.

In the distance, you can see halfway up the mountain, and there are lights that go on and off.

The rain was pouring down like a curtain, obscuring the view.

"Lord Xu, it's so late, do we really want to go up?"

A military attache who accompanied him came over, and his face under the hat was shrouded in darkness and could not be seen clearly.

I can only vaguely hear the impatience in the tone.

"It's not raining, the mountain road is difficult, and the horses can't run, so it's better to wait for the heavy rain to stop for a while, and then make a trip, right?"

Xu Qingchen didn't reply, wiped his face, and it was rain.

Between the whole heaven and earth, it seems that only the sound of wind and rain remains.

In early spring, such rainstorms are rare.

Heaven is not beautiful, and it is really difficult for them.

For those who have not walked the mountain trail, it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to hike at night.

If you're not careful, you'll really be crushed.

Not to mention, there is such a heavy downpour.

It's possible to say that it's a big flood········

He was a little worried in his heart, and said to the people behind him:

"This official also knows that it is difficult to travel at night, not to mention the heavy rain that has been rare in the past ten years? However, I had to come because of my fate. ”

Without waiting for anyone behind him to complain, he roared loudly:

"The mausoleum keeper has already confessed before, the heavy rain soaked the sealed soil, washed away the mausoleum of Lingzheng Hou and Lingwei Hou, and there was already a big flood on it, and the mausoleum keeper was derelict in his duties, and he was taken down by the internal guards for questioning."

"Now that the palace has won three gold medals in a row, I have been ordered to set off overnight to check the facts, and my words are not in a hurry, and the Hou Ye is rarely so angry."

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't want to be in prison with the tomb guards, we must go up tonight, at least, to investigate the damage with our own eyes."

"It's not that the official is unkind, and he doesn't know how to understand the hard work of everyone, but he really doesn't dare to disobey his orders········ Please bear with me. ”

"Tonight······· Anyway, we'll have to go up and find out for ourselves. ”

When he said this, even Xu Qingchen felt that it was too much.

However, the deterrent effect of the three gold medals, as well as the impact of the previous mausoleum keeper being ordered to be taken down and imprisoned by the eunuch on the spot, finally made them acquiesce in the matter.

After that, there was no word all the way.

After all, the whole team abandoned the horses and walked the winding mountain road in the torrential rain with difficulty.

The feet were muddy, the rain was slippery, and the roads were not clear.

With every step, you have to stop and grope carefully.

Fortunately, everyone present has martial arts.

It's just that in this way, after soaking in the icy rain for several hours, everyone looks listless.

The night was deep, and the wind was howling through the mountains and forests.

The heavy rain poured down, hitting people's skin on the face and body.

Between heaven and earth, only the sound of wind and rain remains.

On top of that, there's bone-chilling cold, and endless darkness········· and a sense of loneliness.

I don't know how long this passed, but everyone gradually lost their judgment and just moved forward numbly.

Someone may fall behind or fall off the road······· However, all the sounds are hidden in the sound of wind and rain.

Fortunately, Xu Qingchen was clear and clear, and he gave birth to many warning signs, and finally pulled back those who fell behind.

When everyone arrived halfway up the mountain and saw that little bit of light, their footsteps unconsciously quickened a little, as if they had an extra strength out of thin air.

The main hall of three zhang high is hidden between the pines and cypresses, dozens of lanterns are hung in the hall, and the left and right side halls are all enshrined.

In addition, there are some pavilions and small pavilions, with wings, which are for the mausoleum keeper and a team of soldiers stationed there.

It is said that this kind of mausoleum is heavily guarded, and even where the mausoleum is located, a team of 20 regular soldiers is stationed all year round.

There is a mausoleum guard, and the official position is nine products, which is specially responsible for guarding the mausoleum.

Generally, there is nothing to do on weekdays, and few people can come here through the layers of supervision under the mountain.

can really fight all the way, to be honest, not just twenty people can resist.

The real role of the mausoleum keeper is to maintain the cemetery itself in case it falls into disrepair.

The previous mausoleum keeper went down the mountain to avoid the heavy rain, but he was derelict in his duties, and he was imprisoned.

Not surprisingly, many people will be implicated in the follow-up.

National events, only sacrifices.

The sacrifice to the ancestral tomb is a very important event.

The severity of the heavy rain that washed down the mausoleum is simply unimaginable.

It may even be used by some well-intentioned people in the territory of Wu to promote remarks unfavorable to Wu Hou.

For example, the heavens warned that Wu Hou's qi was close to clouds.

For another example, Emperor Han is the true son of heaven, Marquis Wu disobeys the heavenly army, his ancestors are implicated, and the corpse wilderness and so on.

Such folk discussions, as well as rumors, have always been taboo by those in higher positions.

Not to mention, if this matter is true, there may be many more people involved.

The main hall is dedicated to the position of the god of the ancestral hall, and the people who accompany the sacrifice are enshrined.

In addition to some female dependents, there are also some capable generals under his command.

Some of them were buried in the cemetery.

Behind the hall is where the mausoleum is located.

Everyone rested for a while in the wings, and finally regained a little state.

At this point, it's almost time to get down to business.

"The mausoleum keeper said that the heavy rain washed away the mausoleum······· It doesn't look like it········."

Xu Qingchen squatted down, took a look at the lantern on the ground.

"Lord Xu, although this rain is heavy, it can't reach the level of a flash flood········ There are very few flash floods in this area. ”

The military attache who came with him was also a little confused.

"Since this rain can't wash down the mausoleum, is it possible that the mausoleum keeper is lying?"

Xu Qingchen was incomprehensible.

"What's in it for him?"

"I don't know what to do······· The mausoleum keeper doesn't look like a stupid person········"

The military attache was also speechless for a while, and speculated tentatively:

"Could it be········· What is the reason why he would rather lie than do it? ”

"Hiss···········"

Xu Qingchen gasped.

The military attaché's face also changed slightly, and he thought of something he couldn't bear to say.

"Go to the mausoleum quickly······ Hope········ Don't really have a big deal! ”

Xu Qingchen glanced at the military attaché.

confirmed that each other's thoughts were similar, and they all looked bad.

In the wing room, the group found the standing tung oil torches, lit a few lanterns, braved the wind and rain, and rushed to the mausoleum.

As soon as they arrived at the same place and saw the scene, they immediately had cold hands and feet, and their hearts sank.

The two mausoleums, next to each other, are now charred and black.

The sealed soil broke the big hole, and the rainwater poured into the tomb, which has completely turned into a pond.

The pines and cypresses next to the tomb were all destroyed by wind and rain, and some of them were close to each other, and there were traces of burning.

Xu Qingchen stepped forward and probed with his hand, almost all of them turned into coke.

Obviously, it was a lightning strike.

He was not the only one who saw it, but everyone present saw it.

The surrounding lifelessness, especially the two cemeteries that have been reduced to ponds, seems to be a little weird, gurgling, constantly bubbling upwards.

"I heard that over there in the ancestral hall, the ancestral shrines are all cracked·······"

Xu Qingchen is more well-informed, and when he received the order before, he also received a little reminder from the friendly eunuchs in the palace.

At this time, his tone was harsh, a little difficult, but he still said it.

"This time, I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble·······"

The military attache beside him also whispered to cater to him.

The cracking of the ancestral god position is very ominous.

Now the ancestral mausoleum is also struck by thunder and fire, and the pines and cypresses next to the tomb are not spared.

It's a big omen.

Almost all of them can be taken directly, preaching that Wu Hou has no mandate of heaven and has been punished by heaven!

No matter how great Wu Hou had in the past, as soon as this matter came out, he would lose most of it.

After all, the world is in awe of the destiny of heaven·········

Another bleak wind and cold rain hit, and everyone was cold all over, but their hearts seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

An endless chill that spreads all over the body.
