After entering from the bottom of the coffin, the passage went due north, and this direction should lead to the main burial chamber that we were puzzled about, but after walking for a while, the passage actually wanted to turn back to the west, according to the pattern of the burial chamber, the main burial chamber should sit north and face south. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When we walked out of the passage, there was another yellow intestine inscription in front of us, and the size and scale and furnishings were exactly the same as the previous two.

"This, this is not the main tomb?!" Zhu Qi was shocked. "The scale of the two slave tombs I saw before is so large, I believe that the main tomb is even more incredible, but why is there a third slave tomb here?"

"Such a tomb pattern, in fact, is a character type, from the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty tombs, there is a prototype of Feng Shui Kanyu, such a character tomb type is later in Feng Shui known as the Sanyuan Longding Kanyu pattern, the word has three mouths, the shape of the tripod of the three legs, there is the meaning of the momentum of the tripod, implying that the country is eternal." I looked at the yellow intestine question in front of me and was puzzled. "But there will only be three burial chambers in this type of tomb, divided into the main tomb and two slave tombs, but why is there one more slave tomb here?

"The three-yuan dragon tripod is the tomb pattern exclusive to the kings of the past dynasties, which also contains the power of the four spirits, the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu Shun Yin and Yang, the green dragon and the white tiger arch the east and west, and there is one more tomb, this pattern is completely wrong." These strange and ingenious skills in tombs are impossible for Tian Wanqing, Ye Zhiqiu and Xue Xinrou to know, Suzaku nodded and looked puzzled. "Could it be that we are wrong?"

Tian Wanqing said that the discovery of a yellow intestine inscription in the history of archaeology is already a major discovery that is enough to cause a sensation, and there are three in a row here, and the scale is so large, any one of the burial goods in it is also a rare treasure, but compared to the unsolved mysteries in this ancient tomb, the things here seem to have suddenly lost their attractiveness.

Gong Jue said to find out the identity of the tomb owner first, after we opened the coffin, the accessories on the tomb owner inside are exactly the same as the previous two tomb owners, from the carving under the jade turtle, the tomb owner is Yu Gongyu, this person is Yu Zhong's father, but there are very few records of this person in history, but Yu Gongyu is also Zhou Tianzi's secretary, as for what he has done, what merits are unknown.

We didn't find any clues to uncover the secret of this mausoleum from Yu Gongyu's body, but the magic is that there is a passage under the coffin, we look at each other, this ancient tomb makes us feel more and more bizarre, Zhu Qi estimated that it was because he had not seen the trace of Cheng Ruizun of Jiulong until now, and he couldn't help but enter the passage first, and it didn't take long for me to find that the passage was parallel to Yu Gongyu's mausoleum to the east.

I was secretly surprised in my heart, and sure enough, after we walked out of the passage, it turned out to be another yellow intestine inscription appeared in front of us, and for a while everyone was stunned to go out, which was completely different from what we thought before our whereabouts, there were so many large king's tombs built side by side under the Yellow River, and all of them were yellow intestine inscriptions.

The owner of this mausoleum is called Yu Gong Jihua, this person is not even clear to Ye Zhiqiu, Tian Wanqing said with a surprised face, although the Kingdom of Yu has only existed for three hundred years, there are very few records about the Kingdom of Yu in the history books, and the kings before Yu Zhong failed to take the exam because there was no literature.

"The craftsmanship and ornamentation of the bronze ritual vessel in this yellow intestine inscription are obviously older than the previous ones, which shows that the tomb owner lived earlier than the monarchs found before." Xue Xinrou said.

"Speaking of which, this person named Yu Gong Jihua should be the ancestor of Yu Gongyu......" Ye Zhiqiu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise. Now it is Yu Gong Jihua, and then Yu Gongyu, Yu Zhong, and Yu Gong Gu, which are completely built in the order of the reigns of the kings of the Yu Kingdom! ”

"That is to say, these yellow intestine inscriptions were not built at the same time, but after the death of the kings of the Kingdom of Qiu, they will be buried here." Tian Wanqing said excitedly. "This is the tomb of the kings of the kingdom of Qiu, no wonder the tombs of the noble royal family have not been found, and all the kings are buried here."

The scale of such a large scale of the emperor's mausoleum, currently known only the Ming Tombs, but the thirteen mausoleums are built by the mountain, distributed far from each other, and this place as the longevity territory of the kingdom of Qiu, the tombs of the kings of the past dynasties are symmetrically arranged, this is the first time I have seen such a large scale of the king's tomb group.

With the discovery of these tombs with yellow intestines, the scope of the entire cemetery has been clear, bounded by mountains, north of the boundary ditch is the civilian cemetery, and the south is the general aristocratic cemetery, and the east is under the Yellow River is the real king's tomb.

The mausoleums here are arranged in an orderly manner, and the way of burial for the typical Ju clan, Tian Wanqing was amazed, this is the first time to find such a large-scale burial system, and now we are curious about how many kings of the Kingdom of Yu are buried in this dark underground.

Along the passage found at the bottom of the coffin, we continued to explore, and the later discovery made us even more unexpected, and found a full eight yellow intestine inscriptions, the tomb owners inside are all the kings of the kingdom of Qiu, and many people's names are not recorded in the literature or the first time to hear.

"If these yellow intestine inscriptions are all from tombs, then this should be the last one." Ye Zhiqiu stood in the eighth ancient tomb and said.

"Why?" I asked.

"The owner of the tomb is called Uncle Yu, this person is the younger brother of Zhou Tianzi, and was later named the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu, awarded the title of Duke and Duke of Yu, this person is the ancestor of the Kingdom of Qiu." Ye Zhiqiu replied.

"That is to say, starting from the state of the kingdom of Yu, almost all the kings are buried here according to the time of their reign." Xue Xinrou looked surprised and looked back at me. "Are you sure these royal tombs are just from tombs?"

"Yes, it must be from the tomb, all the kings are guarding the tomb for the real tomb owner, eight kings......" I frowned even tighter. Who has so much power and prestige that eight kings can guard the tomb for them? ”

"And that's not the weirdest thing." Zhu Qi looked a little tired, found a place to sit down, took out a cigarette stick and held it in his hand and said thoughtfully. "There's a lot more I haven't figured out."

"Uncle Seven, what doubts do you have?"

"The yellow intestine inscription is the burial system enjoyed by the Son of Heaven, and it is a great honor to be rewarded to the princes, the kingdom of Yu has been hereditary for more than 300 years, among which the monarch has been given to the Son of Heaven, and the yellow intestine inscription and the nine tripods and eight gui are also reasonable, but the eight kings here actually use the yellow intestine inscription, don't you think it's too incredible?"

"What the Seventh Master said makes sense, I have been pondering this matter, the etiquette system of the Western Zhou Dynasty has strict and systematic regulations on rank, and the reward of the Son of Heaven is also a reward for meritorious deeds, because it is necessary to pay equal attention to grace and power in order to serve the four seas."

Ye Zhiqiu also nodded and said seriously, it was recorded in Zhou Lizhong.

The ancient burial people, thick clothes with salaries, burial in the wilderness, no seals and no trees, countless mourning periods. Later generations of saints changed coffins to cover all the great transgressions.

That is to say, the ancients attached great importance to the afterlife, and the funeral was very solemn, wearing thick silk clothes, and being buried in the open field in the wild.

As the highest-ranking yellow intestine inscription in the burial system, only the Son of Heaven can enjoy it, and it is a supreme honor to reward his subordinates.

"The so-called scarcity is expensive, because the yellow intestine question costs a lot of money, and the highest specification, becoming a symbol of identity and status, Zhou Tianzi rewarded the monarchs of the past dynasties are all yellow intestine questions, this thing does not make sense at all, this will only lead to the dissatisfaction of other vassal states, and what merits do these monarchs have, can get such a great honor."

"There is another thing, have you noticed that the power of these kings is quite large, and one of them is also a secretary casually, it can be said that Wanqing is above ten thousand people under one person, but as the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is reasonable for one or two kings of the kingdom of Yu to be favored, but all the kings of the kingdom of Yu have such great power, this thing seems abnormal." Zhu Qi lit the cigarette stick and said after taking a puff.

"Among the vassal states divided at that time, although the national strength of the Kingdom of Yu should not be underestimated, it did not reach the point where it could fight against the Zhou Dynasty, that is to say, these honors obtained by the king of the Kingdom of Qiu were not coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but were indeed given by the Son of Zhou." Ye Zhiqiu sighed at a loss. "There must be some reason why Zhou Tianzi values the kings of the Kingdom of Yu so much."

"But when the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou family did not decline, although there were many princes and kings, but the national strength far exceeded these princes, the so-called Lixian corporal, Zhou Tianzi gave so much to the monarchs of the Kingdom of Qiu, which shows that there is something that must be done by the kings of the Kingdom of Qiu." Xue Xinrou said.

"I think so too, and this matter is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, it will continue until the destruction of the Zhou family, from the specifications of these kings' tombs and the power during their lifetimes, the kings of the Kingdom of Yu have been hereditary in successive generations, which shows that the kings of the Kingdom of Yu have been doing the same thing for Zhou Tianzi since they were divided." Tian Wanqing also nodded and said.

"These kings all wear jade coverings on their faces, and the more the kings in front of them, they all hold jade plaques engraved with the patterns of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace and the Feather Dragon in their hands, and you say...... "The palace lord looked at us with a cold face." Could what the kings of the Kingdom of Yu have to do with that ship? ”

"If it has something to do with the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, then the King of the Kingdom of Yu hiding the Nine Dragons Cheng Ruizun is probably not just a coincidence." Zhu Qi took a deep puff of cigarette and said.

"I just want to know for whom these eight powerful kings were guarding the tombs of those eight powerful kings at that time." I looked at the entrance to the passage that had been opened by the palace lord.
