Chapter 21: The Heavenly King's Mansion

We didn't feel good about it, and it was very likely that the fat bear had met the masked guy just now.

The rest of the people also rushed in at the moment, only to see the fat bear standing in place trembling all over, the knife in his hand trembling, but there were still cruel words in his mouth: "What are you looking at?" Look at the fuck! Damn, I kind of come to your fat master and see how many eyes the horse prince has! ”

I looked in the direction of the fat bear knife and found that it was not the masked man photographed in Zheng Tian's DV, but a man wearing ancient costumes, holding a hoe and wearing a hat. For some reason, he always gave me the feeling of being weird and inexplicably eerie.

When I took a closer look at the flashlight, I realized that his two eye sockets were hollow and there were no eyeballs, no wonder they looked strange. I patted the fat bear and whispered, "That man's eyes are gone, how can I look at you?" ”

The fat bear spat a mouthful of phlegm, shook the fat on his body, and shouted to the man, "Still blind? Tell you, fat man, I never beat the disabled, and if you know each other, hurry up and explain who you are! ”

But the strange thing is that no matter how the fat bear shouted and scolded, the man just didn't say a word, and stood still in place.

Uncle Dao on the side stepped forward, and I was just about to remind him to be careful, but Uncle Dao had already hit the flashlight on the man's face at close range, and then we found out that it was a fake puppet! It seems to have been carved in the image of the tomb owner's former servant.

I couldn't help but laugh at the fat bear, the mouth is fierce, the bold bear, was frightened by a dummy and did not dare to move, the fat bear was not convinced, defended that he was cautious, I didn't have the leisure to take care of him anymore, the flashlight shone behind the dummy, and was surprised to find that this was a garden-like place, which was about thirty square meters square, densely planted with various plants, and the dummy just now was estimated to be playing the role of a housekeeper who took care of the garden.

There is also a small pavilion and a few rockeries built in the middle of the open space, look closely, the pavilion is composed of four vermilion pillars and a brown glazed tile roof, the four corners of the pavilion top cornices are carved, it looks very exquisite, if I don't know that I am in the tomb, I thought it was the backyard of a large family.

"It's amazing!" Zheng Tian was amazed, holding the DV and wandering around, Wei Yin even said that he wanted him to take a few photos of himself as a souvenir, it seems that their mentality is really good enough to treat themselves as tourists.

"There is neither sunlight nor water in this place, how did these flowers and grass grow so strong?" The fat bear looked around and wondered.

I also felt strange, so I asked Uncle Dao what the principle is, Uncle Dao smiled, picked a "flower" next to him and put it in front of me and said: "It's a fake flower, many of the tomb patterns of the ancients were built according to the environment in which the tomb owner lived during his lifetime, and they hoped that they could enjoy the same life as before their death after their death." ”

I nodded thoughtfully, but I wondered in my heart, didn't I say that most of the Northern and Southern Dynasties practiced thin burials? Why is this tomb so luxurious? It seems that the adage that "there is a policy and a countermeasure" works in any era.

At this time, Zheng Tian in the dark place in front of him suddenly shouted: "Come and see, there is a big archway here, and there seem to be a few words written on it." ”

We ran to Zheng Tian, looked up and shone it with a flashlight, and found that there was indeed a magnificent archway, I carefully identified the two words printed on the top of the archway, and slowly spoke: "Xu-Yuan?" At the moment, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, so he asked Uncle Dao if they knew that there was such a garden during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Uncle Dao's expression became a little surprised: "What's going on...... Do you say ......"

Before I understood what Uncle Dao was talking about, the fat bear here said, "Damn! This Hong Lao'er is really interesting, he actually made such a play. ”

Seeing that I hadn't understood yet, Zheng Tian beside me whispered in my ear: "You don't even know about Xuyuan?" Haven't you been to the Nanjing Presidential Palace? This garden is the old name of the Heavenly King's Mansion during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Only then did I suddenly remember that this garden was the private garden of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan!

In the past, most of the attractions were lost to the name, but this time I didn't react, now it seems that this whole small garden is not the original tomb owner of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan built, he not only hid the heavenly cellar gold he looted everywhere in the tomb of others, and even built his own tomb in the tomb of the original tomb owner, so that those treasures will accompany him for thousands of years!

But it's not right to think about it, didn't the history books say that Hong Xiuquan was buried on the edge of the east mountain of the Imperial Forest Garden outside the New Heavenly Gate after his death? After that, it seems that the body was exhumed and burned by the Qing soldiers. If he had built a tomb here earlier, why would he be buried elsewhere?

I told Uncle Dao about my doubts, and Uncle Dao thought for a moment and said: "There are two possibilities, first, before the death of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the Qing soldiers had blocked the road leading to the area of Zanglong Mountain, and they couldn't pass, so they had to temporarily change the burial plan. As for this second ......"

I thought to myself that this old boy was going to sell Guanzi again, and urged him to say quickly, Uncle Dao paused, looked at the word Xuyuan on the archway and continued: "The second is that the person who was buried in the East Mountain of the Royal Forest Garden was not Hong Xiuquan himself at all, but a stand-in. Hong Xiuquan had a premonition that he would not be at peace after his death, and it was very likely that he would encounter the catastrophe of the Qing soldiers' burning of the corpses, so he announced that he was buried in Dongshan on the day of the funeral, but in fact he was secretly transported to Zanglong Mountain by his henchmen. ”

After hearing it, I suddenly realized that the term "three holes of the cunning rabbit" is really not casually said, these ancients counted heaven and earth, life and death, every step was calculated well, it was really shrewd.

Then everyone went around this small sealed garden a few times, looking for a way to enter the main tomb, Uncle Dao said that this tomb was completely closed, so there must be some secret passage, to look carefully.

But helplessly, we seem to have encountered the previous situation again, there are solid walls on all sides, there is no road at all, let alone any hidden passages, not even a gopher hole, I really don't know how the masked man walked before. Could it be that there is a hidden door? What special method is needed to open it?

While I was thinking, Wei Yin on the other side of the pavilion suddenly shouted at us in excitement, saying that she had discovered a new situation. We immediately gathered around, and saw that she was already sitting on a bench in the pavilion with her legs crossed, and pointed to the top of the pavilion with one hand and said, "Look! ”

We looked up and shone the flashlight upwards, and couldn't help but be stunned: there was a long dried human leg hanging upside down on the pavilion, and we had just looked at it briefly on the periphery, so we didn't notice the situation inside the pavilion, and we didn't expect that there was a human leg hanging inside!

"I was tired of looking for a way just now, and I saw that the chairs in this pavilion were very good, so I sat down to rest, who would have thought that I would make such a major discovery just after stretching my waist!" Wei Yin happily snapped her fingers at us and said.

I looked at the human leg hanging in mid-air, and I felt a little sick to my stomach, but Wei Yin was like seeing a treasure, I really couldn't understand if she was a woman or not? At this time, Wei Xuzhi spoke: "Do you remember that in that burial room, there was a Japanese soldier in a coffin who was missing a leg? ”

I suddenly remembered that the coffin was full of wreckage, so we didn't take it seriously at the time, and now it seems that the leg bone with little wreckage is most likely the one in front of us.

Uncle Dao glanced at the seventh brother, the seventh brother understood, quickly climbed up along the pillar, and instantly cut the rope tied to the broken leg with a saber, and the next second, the broken leg made a vertical free fall, just in front of my feet, I subconsciously took a few steps back, fortunately not smashed on myself.

Uncle Dao approached the foot with the broken leg, looked through the shoes, and muttered: "Showa five-year military boots are indeed a Japanese soldier." ”

I can't help but wonder, how could this Japanese soldier be hung upside down on the top of this pavilion? We walked around here for a long time and didn't see any organs.

At this time, the fat bear, who had been looking at the broken leg for a long time, suddenly said excitedly: "Haha, this little devil died unjustly, the fat man knows where the passage ahead is!" ”
