0249 What Is the Truth?
It turns out that this mural depicts the scene in the preface to the Pavilion of King Teng.
It seems that the owner of this tomb was fortunate to be involved at that time.
No wonder he lingered on it, imitating the Tengwang Pavilion in the ancient tomb.
This looks like a true love fan.
Next, we continued to look at the rest of the murals, and in one of the pictures of being rewarded for merit, I always felt that there was something strange.
Later, it was Ma Jiaqian who woke me up with a word.
She said suspiciously:
"Huh? Strange, the emperor who was rewarded turned out to be a woman? β
"Female?"
It dawned on me, no wonder I always felt so awkward!
It turns out that the root knot is here.
After all, in the 5,000-year history of China, the emperors of all dynasties were all men, except for Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.
She was the only orthodox female emperor in history and one of the oldest and longest-lived emperors on the throne.
The mural depicts a general in military uniform offering treasures and being rewarded by Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian in the picture has a majestic temperament, plump muscles, and beautiful appearance, just like a young woman.
You must know that at that time, Wu Zetian was already sixty-seven years old, but his appearance was really amazing.
Looking at Wu Zetian's ageless face in the mural, I couldn't help but recall the treasure that the ghost mother and the countess were talking about.
Could it be that the treasure offered by this general is actually the legendary immortal spring water mentioned by the ghost mothers?
When I told the crowd about this, there was an uproar.
The treasure that can keep young forever and live forever is simply something that many emperors have dreamed of since ancient times!
But does such a thing really exist?
"Cut! It's a lie at first glance, if Wu Zetian really found the treasure of immortality, then why did she die in the end and be buried in the Qianling Tomb? β
Uncle Ma said disdainfully.
However, from beginning to end, Wu Zetian's death, as well as the mausoleum, as well as the wordless monument she erected, have always been a mystery. What if everything is a trick? β
Xiao Hongfei guessed.
Everyone was in an uproar again, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a while.
Xiao Hongfei's speculation is not unreasonable.
If Wu ZenaΓ―ve found the legendary spring of immortality and became immortal, and then set up all kinds of illusions to deceive the world and make everyone think she had died, then what was her purpose?
And where was she in all these long years?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a tingling in my scalp.
Is it really possible for a woman with an ageless face who has lived for hundreds of years to exist?
Just when everyone was in deep thought, Uncle Ma spoke again:
"Why do you want so much? Is there really an elixir of life in the world, don't we just need to open the coffin in front of us? After all, the treasure was offered by this general! β
I think that's the case, too.
If there really is the legendary spring of immortality, then there must be a treasure map hidden in the coffin in front of you.
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but glance at Ma Jiaqian beside me.
Because this way is somewhat ......
Well!
Not very legitimate.
Ma Jiaqian knew what I wanted to say, but she was actually very curious in her heart.
I'm afraid even she wants to know if there is really a legendary spring of immortality in the world, and whether drinking it can really keep her youth forever.
This thing is a super baby that all women in the world dream of.
"Alright! Just when I didn't say anything before. However, you must ensure that only investigations are allowed, but no destruction of cultural relics is allowed. β
Uncle Ma and I made a promise, but I always felt that our promises were not very credible.
We all came to the stone coffin, and Uncle Ma inspected it and told us that the stone coffin in front of us was only the outer shell, which played a protective and sealing role.
And there should be an inner coffin in the coffin, which is where the tomb owner really sleeps.
It's just that the stone coffin outside is like a complete rectangular boulder, and it is impossible to find where the open gap is.
While sighing at the wisdom of the ancients, I took out the golden light talisman and tried to blow up the hard shell outside.
Seeing this, Uncle Ma hurriedly stopped me in this stupid way.
He blew his beard and glared at him and scolded:
"You kid took the wrong medicine, didn't you? You don't know how thick this coffin is, and where the depth of the coffin is, so you want to explode it with a charm so hastily, in case you blow up the key things inside, you don't even have a place to cry. β
I scratched my head in embarrassment.
I also blame myself for being too anxious.
I just wanted to see what was hidden inside, but I forgot about this stubble.
At this time, Zeng Huiru stepped forward, stroked the coffin, exposed her sharp nails, and said confidently:
"Let me cut it! But Shaohui, you have to help me observe the depth of the cut. β
I nodded, secretly opened the yin and yang eyes, and carefully observed the coffin in front of me, hoping to see through it.
Gradually, my vision changed to black and white.
The stone coffin on the outside is white, and the inner coffin with a small circle on the inside has turned black.
And the inner coffin is vague, and some can't see clearly.
I thought, maybe it's because I'm not strong enough to go inside!
Zeng Huiru raised her sharp index finger and gently inserted it an inch down on the surface of the coffin according to what I described.
This time, it was like stabbing into tofu, and he easily inserted his finger into it.
Immediately, under our surprised gaze, Zeng Huiru circled around the coffin, and finally returned to the original point.
"Okay, the surface of the coffin has been cut, and the next thing is up to you."
Zeng Huiru said lightly.
Finally, she blew her fingers with her mouth, as if there was a little dust on them.
"God, Sister Huiru, your fingers are better than a cutting machine! No wonder you can cut through the skin of your armor on the surface of the red hair. β
I praised it from the bottom of my heart.
Zeng Huiru smiled lightly and didn't say anything.
We hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the stone slab on the surface of the coffin, revealing the inner coffin wrapped inside.
In the next moment, a faint aroma of wood emanated from the surface of the inner coffin, and there was no trace of the strange smell imagined.
Seeing this, Uncle Ma couldn't help but exclaim:
"This is a coffin made of high-quality golden silk nanmu!"
In ancient times, only the royal family and nobles, princes and ministers were equipped with golden silk nan wood to make coffins.
Because it is very precious and rare, it is also known as the gold that can grow.
While lamenting the wealth and luxury of the tomb owner, I couldn't help but touch this superb coffin of gold and wood.
At this time, my yin and yang eyes suddenly jumped, and I saw a strange purple light faintly lit up in the coffin of the golden silk nanmu.
The light flashed, and it didn't seem to be emitted by some monster, but it was filled with a majestic and domineering light.
I was stunned, and I couldn't help but wonder more about what kind of treasure was hidden in the coffin.
