Chapter 1114: Kneel
Under this situation, even Professor Fang, who has always firmly believed that there are no ghosts in this world, is already on the verge of collapse.
The graduate students led by Professor Fang were even more angry and peed their pants again.
But if you don't follow us, stay in this eerie mausoleum, where you can't see your fingers, who knows what will happen?
If they go back the way they came, towards the outside of the mausoleum, who knows what they will encounter on the way back?
Especially when he thought of the hundreds of dead corpses he encountered on the way here, Professor Fang and the others were even more afraid to have the idea of returning alone.
Under such circumstances, Professor Fang and several graduate students he brought with him, even if they disagreed, they could only choose to follow us.
And just like that, all of us followed behind the ghostly creatures, following the path illuminated by the green flames.
Next, a large group of us walked through this mausoleum.
After continuing to walk in the mausoleum for about half an hour, and seeing the palaces with a typical style of the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, I had to secretly sigh, even if it is the Qin Mausoleum of the first emperor in Lishan, I am afraid it is nothing more than that!
The so-called Tang Emperor Song Zu, Qin Emperor Han Wu, and only Song Taizu, a figure of the same level as the Emperor of the Ages, can build such a large-scale mausoleum!
This mausoleum is simply moving the inner courtyard of the ancient palace into the belly of the mountain!
And just as I was feeling emotional, the guys with torches led us to a palace.
From the periphery, this palace is no different from the ancient palace, the vermilion gate is covered with copper nails, and the number of copper nails is nine in each row, nine horizontal rows, nine verticals, and the two doors on the left and right of the gate.
According to the rules of ancient times, the copper nails arranged in this way represent the supreme imperial power, and only the royal gate is equipped with 9981 copper nails.
At that moment, the men with torches came to a halt in front of the palace gates.
A group of us followed behind the fellows, and when they stopped, they also stopped.
The few men with torches did not make any movement, not even make any sound, and when they faced the closed palace gates, they behaved extremely respectfully, and their faces were extremely solemn and solemn.
And at this moment, I saw that the closed palace gate was slowly opening from both sides.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this scene was extremely weird, Professor Fang and Professor Xia were all frightened and their hairs stood on end, and they trembled.
Even Professor Zheng took a deep breath of cold air and involuntarily moved closer to me.
Chen Pingyu, Huang Xingliang and Zhao Zhentang all couldn't help but move closer to my location.
At this moment, in addition to the creaking sound from the palace gate, there was also the heavy breathing of Professor Fang and Professor Xia, and the whole scene was extremely depressing, and that terrifying atmosphere could be said to have reached its peak.
Finally, the several graduate students led by Professor Fang couldn't bear this gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, and broke out one by one.
"I can't stand it anymore, I'm going out!"
"There really are ghosts in here, I don't want to die here!"
"I'm getting out of here, I'm going out!"
The silence was broken by the voices of the men, causing the torch-carrying men to turn their eyes to them.
I saw a guy holding a torch with a grim face, and said with a hideous face: "Your Majesty the Emperor has a decree to let you go to the Jinluan Palace to meet you, you want to leave here, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect?" ”
Another guy with a torch said sharply: "Disobeying the will of His Majesty the Emperor is the only way to die!" If you don't believe me, you can try to turn around and leave. ”
Under the light of the green flames, the hair and faces of the few people holding the torches turned green, and they looked very oozing.
After hearing what these two people said, several graduate students led by Professor Fang were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
As for turning around and leaving, even if it is to lend them a gut, they may not dare.
The next few men continued to walk forward with torches, and a group of us followed.
We then passed through several more palace gates, which were almost as controlled by artificial intelligence, and every time we walked in front of them, the vermilion palace gates would automatically open.
Finally, after passing through a total of nine palace gates, we saw a majestic palace.
However, after entering the last palace gate, there were still ninety-nine steps in front of us.
Only by walking through these ninety-nine steps can we get to the front of the palace.
But from a distance, in front of that majestic palace, there were eight palace guards wearing ancient armor and holding golden gourd spears, who were at least two meters tall, standing on the left and right.
Seeing this scene, Professor Fang and Professor Xia were frightened all of a sudden!
If they still have a glimmer of hope for the few guys holding the torches, thinking that they are playing pranks and pretending to scare them, then the eight palace guards standing in front of the palace are not something they can understand and accept.
The guys holding the torches are people after all, but the eight palace guards in front of the palace are absolutely impossible to be people!
Buried in the mountains, blocked by the mausoleum built by the Gongyi family, after more than a thousand years, how can there be living people in this mausoleum?
In addition to the use of feudal superstition, it is completely inexplicable with modern science!
At this moment, as I said, the worldviews of Professor Fang and Professor Xia can be said to have all been subverted!
In the past, they were typical materialists, and they never believed that there were ghosts in this world, but now they have to believe it!
However, Professor Fang was still a little stiff-mouthed, and said to himself there: "Maybe it's the same as the Terracotta Army, what we see is a statue, a terracotta figurine, in short, it's not a human, it's not a ghost!" ”
"I still firmly believe that there are no ghosts in this world!"
Professor Fang emboldened himself in this way and cheered himself up, but the few guys with torches who walked in front didn't say anything about what Professor Fang said, and after letting out a few sneers, they continued to walk forward.
A moment later, we followed the fellows and walked up ninety-nine steps to the palace gate.
When he saw the eight palace guards in front of the palace gate wearing ancient armor and holding golden gourd spears, and confirmed that they were not statues or terracotta figurines, they were exactly the same as living people, Professor Fang completely collapsed.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? ”
"There can be no ghosts in this world!"
And just as Professor Fang was talking to himself with his eyes blank, a few guys holding torches threw the torches to the ground, came to their knees, and knelt down in front of the incomparably majestic Jinluan Hall in front of them.
The guy kneeling at the front said loudly: "The ministers have seen my majesty, long live your majesty, long live long live!" ”
After saying this, under the leadership of the guy at the front, these people bowed three times and bowed nine times to the Jinluan Palace.
Like all Imperial Palaces, there are ninety-nine steps on the Golden Luan Palace, where civil and military officials will stand on the left and right sides of the steps, and the Supreme Emperor will sit on the dragon chair at the highest point of the Golden Luang Palace.
Just a moment ago, the Jinluan Hall was empty, and in the eyes of ordinary people, there was nothing.
But just when these guys were kneeling and bowing three times and nine times, on the ninety-nine steps in the Jinluan Palace, the figure of a hundred officials of cultural relics suddenly appeared.
On the golden dragon chair at the top of the steps, an ancient emperor wearing a golden dragon robe and a crown of heaven appeared on his head, looking extremely majestic and imposing.
Seeing this, Professor Fang and the few graduate students he brought with him no longer had any doubts, and finally believed that there were really ghosts in this world.
"Lao Zheng, it turns out that there are really ghosts! Are we going to die here? Professor Fang was already peeing his pants in fright when he said this.
Professor Xia's psychological quality is not bad, but at this moment, he grabbed Professor Zheng's arm tightly, trembling and stammering: "Old Zheng, have we come to the Hades Palace?" Are they all ghosts? ”
Professor Zheng's academic dedication can be said to be a bit crazy, even if he knew that the civil and military officials and the emperor in the Jinluan Hall were ghosts, but he stared at the ancient emperor at the highest point of the Jinluan Hall and observed.
While observing the ancient emperor, Professor Zheng replied to Professor Xia: "Old Xia, judging from the dragon robe worn by this person on the Jinluan Palace, he should be the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, not the king of Hades in the Netherworld!" ”
"I think this emperor is probably the ......"
Before Professor Zheng finished speaking, among the hundreds of civil and military officials standing above the Jinluan Palace, a figure dressed as a civil official stood up and looked at us condescendingly.
Then the civil official said sharply: "Where did you come from? Why don't you worship when you see my emperor? ”
And as soon as the civil official's voice fell, all the civil and military officials turned around and turned their eyes to us.
"Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor didn't kneel down and salute, it was really a big rebellion!"
"Why don't you kneel?"
For a while, all kinds of voices came and went, and even the eight palace guards in front of the palace and the few guys who were holding torches before all shouted at us.
"Get on your knees!"
"Get on your knees!"
Facing such a large group of ghosts that had been dead for more than a thousand years, Professor Fang and Professor Xia had already been frightened, and they knelt down as soon as their legs became weak.
