Twenty-nine, the Qing palace resentment

The two entered the dungeon from the entrance, and there were guards patrolling back and forth at night and during the day, but the two of them hid invisibility charms, plus some tricks, and successfully evaded the detection of the guards.

The whole underground palace is in the form of confession, paved with blue and white stone, there are more stone doors closed, isolated, each stone door, are equipped with dozens of tons of copper pipe fans, not only play the role of supporting the giant door, but also can be used as a pole to lift the boulder.

This imperial mausoleum is built according to the art of feng shui, therefore, on the top of these eight stone gates, there is a Bodhisattva relief statue, which not only forms a perfect and exquisite with the whole passage, but also has the effect of suppressing evil and subduing demons.

During the day, the stone gate is open for visitors to enter and exit, and at night it is closed to prevent tomb robbers from vandalizing.

"We have to quickly find the mechanism, enter the tomb, and without being discovered, summon the soul of Concubine Zhen, find the mirror of Concubine Zhen, we must leave quickly, otherwise, it will be troublesome to be regarded as a tomb robber." Tonghai solemnly admonished.

In this cemetery, there must be surveillance, fortunately, they sprinkle ash all the way, even from the camera, it is difficult to see the changes, only after a subtle freeze, magnified part will be found, but they do not destroy, it is difficult for someone to go to the filter lens frame by frame, even if there is such a check, when the problem is found, they have long been away for a long time, far away from the world.

They came to the first stone gate and bowed to the Bodhisattva statue three times to show their respect. The button that activates the search mechanism on the left and right. But after searching for a long time, I didn't find anything strange.

"Look at the left hand seal of the Bodhisattva." Zhao Yuankang suddenly found a key.

Tong Hai looked at his fingers, and his face was also happy. It turned out that the Bodhisattva's left hand formed a Dharma seal was a bit strange.

The original Dharma seal gesture is to twist the thumb and middle finger (or index finger or ring finger), and the rest of the fingers are naturally relaxed. But in this Bodhisattva's mudra, the thumb and index finger are interlocked, and the middle finger is slightly bent, which is somewhat similar to the orchid finger.

This activation mechanism should be above the extra middle finger, but when people usually visit, they rush by, and they dare not pay attention to the Bodhisattva for a long time, for fear of blasphemy, so this small flaw is difficult to find. Even if someone finds out, they won't think of the mystery in it.

The palm of the hand was three meters above the ground, much higher than the average person, and the staff had the tools to extend it to complete the opening.

Tonghai stabbed with a peachwood sword, the sword aura was mighty, and he lightly tapped the middle finger.

With a soft sound, the stone door slowly rose, and the two entered sideways.

A raised stone ring was found in the hole behind the first door, and when I pulled it hard, it was the mechanism that put down the boulder, and the stone door fell again behind me.

According to this method, the left hand of the Bodhisattva statue on each stone door, whether it is fearless or meditative, there will be a finger protruding, which is the key to opening the stone door.

The two of them had explored the location during the day, and soon came to the front of Concubine Zhen's mausoleum.

Emperor Guangxu had a total of one queen and two concubines. The tomb of his concubine is called Chongling Concubine Garden. In the garden bed, there are two graves, where Concubine Jin (left) and Concubine Zhen (right) are buried.

The night robbery of Concubine Zhen's tomb that shocked the whole country was actually a trick to hide people's eyes and ears and make mistakes.

The group of thieves actually robbed the tomb of Concubine Jin by mistake, but the state did not correct it, because the smoke bombs were released, making the outside world think that there were no treasures in the tomb of Concubine Zhen, and the state severely punished the tomb robbers, which also played a deterrent role.

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin are sisters, and the two entered the palace at the same time and worked together as a husband, but Concubine Jin did not have Concubine Zhen's bizarre deeds, with high international popularity and great exposure. But she also enjoyed her life because of it.

The two entered the mausoleum without opening the coffin. They are not tomb robbers, they are not interested in the treasures inside, and they are disrespectful to the dead, cultivators, who pay attention to cause and effect, cannot do that kind of thing.

Tonghai took Zhao Yuankang with wiring soaked in black dog blood, surrounded the coffin, and set up a simple soul-suppressing array.

The soul of ordinary people is very fragile, and once it is attacked by yang energy, it will be scattered.

Although Jing Ke was scared away just now, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not return to cast a spell to retaliate, if it affected Concubine Zhen's soul, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Tonghai asked him for Concubine Zhen's name and title, and then recited the soul collection mantra:

Knock on the three divisions, the temple king and the land, the cigarette head of the ancestor received, the master received, the disciple received it with his own hands, received him Tara clan, the three souls and seven spirits of the imperial concubine, the five gods and six temples, the yang soul in the head, the two souls in the waist, and the three souls in the feet, to return to the body, the soul does not wander and does not move randomly.

******

Five five hundred and twenty-five thousand miles, thousands of miles to chase the soul to the soul, thousands of miles to drive the soul back, I don't know that he went to the east to the Dongsheng Shenzhou Mansion, the south to the south of the Buzhou City, the west to the West Niuhe Prefecture boundary, the north to the north of Luzhou City, I don't know where he is in the state and what county of other people's homes, the soul chasing general to the soul general arrived, and asked him to return to his three souls and seven souls.

After a cup of tea, a quiet soul floated to the center of the big array, and asked softly: "The revenant soul Tatara clan, Concubine Zhen has arrived, I don't know what to summon?" ”

Through the dim light in the tomb, Zhao Yuankang saw this woman, her skin was fair and flawless, her facial features were delicate and picturesque, but her eyes were full of endless wind and sand, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

Concubine Zhen's life was only a short 25 years, she was favored by Emperor Guangxu, and she was ordered by the Empress Dowager Cixi to throw herself into a well. Love, politics, palace fighting, murder...... Many dramatic and intense conflicts are intertwined in this woman.

"The two of us are here just to ask about one of your concubine mirrors, and there is no malice." Zhao Yuankang hurriedly said, he was afraid that Concubine Zhen would misunderstand and refuse to hand over the treasure mirror, if he used force to fight, it would be bad.

"Hey, I want to be the imperial concubine, but my fate is bumpy, a hundred years later, it is the only one I have, I can't give it to you."

Concubine Zhen wept bitterly, which made the two of them a little at a loss. Zhao Yuankang is not good at dealing with women, and Tonghai adheres to the precepts, and when he sees her crying, he has a headache.

"That, Concubine Zhen, what are your troubles, you might as well tell us." Zhao Yuankang felt pity.

"Others only say that the palace life is full of fine clothes and food, and they are extremely envious, but they don't know the suffering."

Zhao Yuankang agrees with this, in recent years, Qing court dramas have gradually revealed the dark and sad secret history of the harem, and as early as in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", there is a confession of Kangxi, telling about the boredom and coldness of life in the palace.

Concubine Zhen has a cheerful personality, is lively and active, and has a strong sense of curiosity. Slightly versed in Western studies, she is very disgusted with the red tape and rigid lifestyle in the palace, especially the deceit and intrigue in the palace.

She likes new things and yearns for a casual and unrestrained life. But in the Qing Palace, where the system is strict, this is an unattainable luxury.

"Since I entered the palace, I have won the favor of the emperor, and I also have the care of my sister, and I have lived a happy life, but I didn't expect to offend the Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Longyu," Concubine Zhen told the story, telling about her struggle between right and wrong in the palace.

In fact, Concubine Zhen is luckier than Empress Longyu.

What is a woman's greatest happiness? - Just find a good husband who loves you! In today's words, it is "better to learn well than to marry well!" ”

Concubine Zhen, being favored by Guangxu is rare in the ancient harem. And even if Empress Longyu is the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she still can't get her husband's favor, which is really a failure. Why didn't she hate Concubine Zhen?

Although monogamy was not emphasized in ancient times, what woman was not selfish, let alone the court with the most intrigues and intrigues? This also planted the root of Concubine Zhen's tragic fate.

The main reason for Concubine Zhen's death was that she violated the taboo of the palace many times, sold her official position and accepted bribes, and Guangxu had a soft spot for her, and snubbed Cixi's niece Empress Longyu, and finally ended up being killed.

"In the cold harem, the most important status, respect, when I was relegated to the cold palace, Cixi did not allow me to meet with Banzai, eating, washing face, etc., all by the subordinate from a live window in and out. I eat the food of ordinary people, I am only allowed to go to the toilet once a day, and there is an old eunuch who should be killed to count my crimes, and I don't dare to resist, so I can only kowtow and ask for guilt. When Concubine Zhen talked about the injury, she was sad again.

"Only Banzai Ye and my sister are sincere to me, Banzai Ye often tolerates my willfulness and supports my advanced thoughts, while my sister is not less affected by me."

When talking about her sister Concubine Jin, she was sincere, and it was obvious that her sisterhood was abnormal.

"My failure to sell my official position to make money also caused her to be demoted; I was thrown into the cold palace, and she was the only one who secretly brought me clothes and comforted me; After I was thrown into a well and drowned, she begged Banzai to say that the Empress Dowager would allow me to salvage my body; Later, it was she who moved the burial mausoleum for me and set up a spiritual position in the Zhenfei Well, so that husband and wife and sisters could stay together. Eventually, she suffered on my behalf, and tomb robbers invaded the mausoleum and destroyed her body. Sister, the kindness you have given me is really a few lifetimes, and it is difficult to repay it! ”

The two were speechless for a long time, moved by her sisterhood, and never thought that in the deep palace, there was still such a true affection for each other.

"Concubine Zhen, listening to your life experience, it is really miserable and sympathetic, but after all, a hundred years have passed since this incident, and now your obsession is hard to get rid of, is there any other reason?"

Tong Hai persuaded Wen Wen, after all, only by untying her heart knot would she be willing to hand over the Zhenfei Mirror.

"My body was soaked in the well for a year, and I was bullied by a group of ghosts in the eunuch cemetery, and now my soul is damaged and I can't enter reincarnation, and I ask the Taoist to save me, if I can help me get out of the sea of suffering, I should offer the Zhenfei Mirror." Concubine Zhen said firmly.
