Chapter 934: The Key
Tai Shi Guo also felt that although the aura on Ji Man's body was strange, this aura did not make him feel uneasy, and whether it was Li You or Chi You, it would make him feel uneasy.
Ji Man also secretly looked at Tai Shiguo. Taishi's family has always served the royal family, recording the history of the royal family and the history of the princes of the world, Ji Man is clear.
But in fact, Ji Man did not have a good relationship with the internal historian. His achievements in cultural and martial arts in his life are not low, but he has the stain of being pitted by the Queen Mother of the West. So he tried his best to erase this record. But the historian has always been the most stubborn guy, once they determine the facts, they will seal their records according to their own three views, Ji Man wants to see the record of his words and deeds, and he can't do it. For this reason, he often clashed with the historians of the time.
……
The mountain body of Heilong Mountain is gentle and grand, and the royal tomb is built in the foothills. And Black Dragon Mountain is just a branch of a huge mountain range in the small world, and the main body of the mountain range does not know where to go.
The exploration of the surrounding environment by the tribesmen living here is naturally endless, but the most successful one is that the twelve tribes united together and sent the most elite warriors into the deep mountains for more than 300 miles, but they lost troops along the way, and finally returned to the tribe less than half of the warriors, and the harvest was far from enough to make up for the losses, so the tribes did not want to explore the deep mountains.
The scale of the Zhou Tomb is very large. Built on the mountain, there are buildings on the surface, and from a distance, it is a bit similar to Ji Lang's palace, but the scale has been reduced a lot. Because of the relatively stable climate in the small world, these complexes are largely undamaged, but look a little old. Li You faintly still shows that these buildings seem to have traces of renovation.
After Taishi Guo's explanation, Li You learned that after the death of each generation of Zhou kings, there would be craftsmen and slaves in the funeral procession, and their duty was to renovate these buildings, and after these things were done, the craftsmen would be incorporated into the tribes, and the slaves would be killed and buried.
Li You initially felt strange, obviously there was such a magnificent palace here, why the mausoleum guards still had to build a simple village outside, and it was difficult to guarantee even basic survival.
But soon Li You found out the reason.
These buildings are basically solid, but they look like buildings on the outside, but they are actually huge models made of stones, only the decoration on the top, and the real equipment is used.
"It's really ......" Li You was deeply speechless, he didn't expect that the building complex he saw would be like this.
"The king's underground palace is below, and the buildings on the surface can only be preserved for a long time and save the most national strength." Tai Shiguo explained: "This is the national policy set by the Duke of Zhou back then. In addition to the laborious construction of the royal tombs at the beginning, the subsequent burials of kings were very economical. ”
Li You couldn't help nodding yes. In the same way, he also understood that there was a reason why the construction of this royal tomb, the use of so many slaves and troops, and even the rebellion of several vassal states.
The arduous and arduous work of piling up these stone palaces was unimaginable to Li You. Li You believes. Many slaves died of exhaustion before they even saw the day when the palace was built.
At the entrance of the royal tomb, in the depths of the complex. Around the mausoleum, there are also many active mausoleum guards. These mausoleum guards were subordinates of King Zhou Xi. Each generation of mausoleum guards is the latest subordinate of King Zhou.
Among these mausoleum guards, there are even acquaintances of Taishi, who were slightly stunned when they saw Taishi coming, and asked questions, is there another king of Zhou who has died?
The Mausoleum Keepers' loyalty is unquestionable, but they are slowly being replaced by the imperative of survival. If there are new mausoleum keepers stationed, it means that their mausoleum guarding task has ended, and they can devote more energy to survival, and can invest more strength to open up living space.
After getting Tai Shiguo's negative answer, the mausoleum keeper was obviously a little disappointed, and after checking the letter with Tai Shiguo, he let him go.
Li Youlu didn't say a word. Only used mental fluctuations to communicate with Chiyou.
At this point, both of them appeared, and it was here that they released the power to resist the suppression of the world's rules, to be precise, it should have come from the royal tomb itself.
The closer he was to the mysterious power, the clearer Li You's perception of it became. It's just that neither he nor Chiyou have been able to parse out what the mysterious power that resists the suppression of the world is. Throwing this question at Ji Man, Ji Man didn't give the answer Li You wanted, because Ji Man didn't feel it at all.
Ji Man's answer, the two of them were naturally not satisfied. But it can only be explained that Ji Man is in a state of soul, and his spiritual power is disturbed by the curse. Inability to perceive mystical forces.
However, one thing has been basically confirmed, the mysterious power should have been placed in it when the royal tomb was built, in order to weaken the oppressive power of the world, establish a sheltered space, and protect the human race in this area. When this power is strong, its radiating range should be wider.
From the analysis of the current situation, the mysterious power has been constantly weakening, so that the space for shelter has begun to shrink, and the power has begun to weaken. It is precisely because of this that the Zodiac and the Ghost Fox dare to brazenly attack the Terran tribe that is close to the edge of power.
“…… Bronze door again......"
After climbing hundreds of high steps, Li You suddenly saw a bronze gate standing in front of him. The bronze door is carved with countless thunder patterns, **solemn. There is also gilt on the pattern, which is luxurious. It's just that the years still leave traces on it, and the mottled rust casts a layer of historical vicissitudes on the copper door.
A similar bronze door was seen by Li You in the tomb of the Ghost King. But he didn't think it was strange, after all, the tomb of the ghost king was also a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was also the handiwork of this guy next to him, Zhou Mu Wang Jiman.
"How do you open the gates of this royal tomb?" Li You asked.
Tai Shiguo put the copper box on his shoulder on the ground, squatted down tremblingly to open the copper lock on it, and took out a semi-circular object from it, the two patterns of yin and yang on one side of the object were intricate, and it looked like a key to open the mechanism.
And Tang Hou of the Tang Cai tribe also took out a piece from his arms that looked almost metal on the surface, and said to Li You: "The gate of the royal tomb needs two keys to open, one key is kept by the royal family, and the other is controlled by our twelve tribes in turn, so to open the royal tomb, it takes twelve tribes to discuss before deciding." ”
Li You nodded secretly. The Zhou royal family is quite secretive and does not put the keys in the same place. At this moment, Tai Shiguo and Tang Hou had already walked forward, one left and one right, pressed the key into a depression in the left and right corners of the gate, and twisted it vigorously, and then, Li You heard a muffled sound around the gate.
