Chapter 13: The Pot of Gold
Although our team has seen the world in the Dragon Palace, this huge and magnificent ancient city is really terrifying enough for us. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNeedless to say, everyone walked towards the ancient city with obsessive faces. Even Uncle Yan Tai, who was hanging at the end, jumped up and ran forward after bowing a few times.
Until I stood in the huge ancient city, I sincerely felt that the wisdom of China's ancestors for 5,000 years was really miraculous! Walking at the bottom of the front of the city wall, although the whole wall is a little dilapidated, it does not reduce the majestic momentum at all! The moss and vegetation at my feet were dense, and it was a little soft to step on, and a thought flashed through my mind, as if I was stepping on an Antarctic giant insect in the ruins. I shook my head to myself and didn't let myself think about it. The heart said, God can't always 'favor' me so much, just keep encountering some evil things for me!
A group of men cautiously walked into the city walls. My eyes lit up, as if I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. The surrounding area is the golden tile cornice, and there is a towering stone pillar in each of the four corners, where dozens of mighty beasts are carved lifelike. This kind of attainment inherits the tradition of the kings of the past dynasties, which means swallowing the world and shocking the world!
However, although those stone murals are exquisite, there are obviously several places that have been artificially damaged and cut! I think someone must have entered here before us, and they didn't even let go of the carvings on the stone carvings, I'm afraid it's either a mad Tufuzi or a water bastard!
Although Baozi's face was full of obsession, he pursed his lips and said to me: "The main lord is inside!" ā
As soon as the words fell, he walked towards the main hall very quickly, and faster than him was the old man of the Zheng family. I can't imagine how this old boy's legs and feet can be so neat when he is so old? I saw that he squeezed through the crowd and entered the main hall, and we didn't dare to slack off and followed.
The plaque above the main hall reads 'Temple of Troubled Times'. According to Uncle Yan Tai, there is a Taihe City under Cangshan that is suspected to be the remains of the ancient kingdom of Nanzhao, and here is another palace of troubled times! The word Taihe means 'social stability, peace in the world', and the word troubled times is self-evident. These two halls of such contrast are probably from the hands of the ancestors of Nanzhao.
The four corners of the main hall are pointed, the gilded treasure top, the eaves beams and pillars are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and when they enter the main hall, everyone is almost a little dumbfounded!
I saw that the main hall was in a mess, with broken relief stone pillars, dilapidated blue bricks and stone slabs, and even weeds growing from those dilapidated cracks. The beams on the roof were also broken, and they leaned irregularly against the stone pillars on one side, and the broken tables and chairs were cracked and fell to the ground, which was a mess. There is a world of difference between the outside and the inside.
The monk was dumbfounded, and muttered: "His mother's son thought that this time he was going to send it!" I didn't expect this place to be strong outside and dry in the middle. These things seem to have been robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. ā
After all, Old Man Zheng is an old fritter, and said: "Someone must have entered here before us, you must know that our line of 'pirates go on an expedition and have no grass' to pull goods at sea is taken away by the whole ship, not to mention such a magnificent palace." On the bright side, we are afraid that we will not find the treasure, but there must be an underground palace in an ancient city, and if we find the location of the underground palace, we should still have a harvest! ā
Baozi nodded and interjected: "The underground palace? Just like the Forbidden City in Beijing? It is said that almost 60% of the treasures in the Forbidden City are hidden in the empty underground palace south of the garden of Cining Palace! ā
I've traveled to the Forbidden City in Beijing, but it doesn't seem right? I was wondering. Zheng Xiaoyou, who was hiding behind me all the way, looked around, and retorted when he heard Baozi's words: "Oops! It's not me who hits you! I didn't go to the Forbidden City, the underground palace south of Cining Palace is a basement built by modern people! In order to collect cultural relics, it was not built by the emperor back then. ā
"What do you know, girl!" The old man glared at him angrily, and said: "This ancient city of Nanzhao is built in the middle of a mountain, and I am afraid that I have scruples about the outside world. So I concluded that the treasure inside could not be displayed in the open, and there was a chance that there would be a dungeon! ā
For a while, I naturally couldn't find the location of the underground palace, and after some tossing. Seeing that the time was already half past eight in the morning, everyone agreed to eat and rest first. The monk was looking for wine in his backpack again, and I didn't bother to talk to him. Chewing on compressed jerky, he looked at the charming woman with a pale face who was frightened next to the sick beauty.
I walked over to them and said, "Is that Xiao Yan?" As soon as the words fell, the sick beauty glanced at me, and then lowered her head and wiped her cold silver knives! I watched as my neck shrunk! The heart said that I am not here to flirt with women!
"What...... What's the matter!? "All the way, this woman was almost frightened, and when she saw me coming and raised her head, her face under the mask was not real, but her smile seemed to be charming.
I was silent for a moment, sorting out my thoughts. He asked, "You said you don't know who hired you here, so you tell me how much money the person who hired you gave you?" ā
She heard the words for a long time before she slowly spoke: "Originally, this kind of thing should not be said. But that person is really harmful, my aunt and grandmother were originally pampered, and now I want to follow you to this kind of ghost place for no reason! Do you know that even if you're drinking at the bar, ...... aunt and grandmother?"
"Okay, okay......" I waved my hand, not wanting to hear her ramble. Asked, "Just say how much money he gave you!" ā
She seemed very upset with me, an unqualified listener. Pout, hold out five fingers. said: "Not much, 500,000!" ā
I'm grinning! I was really shocked to hear this number! Ask someone to meet and spend 500,000? No wonder this woman would ride a horse to that kind of place in the middle of the night, and I would definitely do it if I wanted to change it.
But in this way, this matter does not need to be guessed to know that it is a conspiracy!
"Brother Fang! Come on! There really is a dungeon! ā
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the shout of Zheng Yatou in front of me. I was stunned when I heard this, and everyone suddenly stood up and ran in the direction of the sound.
The location of the underground palace is in the corner behind the main hall, and the surrounding area is covered with moss. It's hard to find out if you don't look closely, it's funny to say that Zheng Yatou wanted to find a secret place, but she didn't expect to be found by her by chance.
Going down the pitch-black tunnel, the whole space was pitch black, the flashlight shone in front of it, and the cyan fog spread. But judging from the calm expression of the experienced old man Zheng, it shouldn't be a poisonous miasma.
Along the way, I can't help but think crankily. I heard that there are generally monsters under the underground palace in Yunnan. It's like the strange fish in the story of Yu Yuan Ancient City, which can't get out. And Uncle Yan Tai was bored on the road and told me the story of the 'Good Wealth Dragon Girl', the legend says that the Dragon Girl was also pressed under the mountain by the Dragon King, and was later rescued by Guanyin Master.
Fortunately, God seems to be tired of playing with me, and nothing evil has happened along the way. Soon we arrived in the underground palace, I don't know how many floors this kind of underground palace has, just look overhead, there is no longer a cave wall, but a smooth roof with a silhouette, and there are dense paintings on it, like the gods and Buddhas in the sky are driving the clouds. Looking at those neat paintings, my heart was suddenly overjoyed, with the messy hall above even the walls are buckled down, this place is so intact, I'm afraid it shouldn't have been searched, maybe this time it's really going to be sent!
A group of people's flashlights danced around the space like dragons of light. Suddenly, the corner where the halo shone on it glowed with a crystal clear luster. Everyone was stunned all at once! Because this luster is quite familiar, just like the golden palace in the Dragon Palace, it is the luster of gold!
"it!! it!! These two words seemed to be Da Zhuang's mantra, but when they were shouted by the monk, they were basically something that surprised him a lot. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the reflected golden light, and then I fixed my eyes to see dozens of jars made of gold neatly lined up in the corners, emitting a dazzling golden light.
The monk jumped up and lifted it up with a gold jar. said: "It's really heavy, eighty percent of it is a priceless treasure!" ā
At this time, Uncle Yan Tai seemed to think of something, and his face changed and he said loudly: "Don't touch it!" Put it down, or you'll die! ā
The monk, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was stunned when he heard this, but his face turned white when he saw Uncle Boyantai's frightened face. After hesitating for a while, he put the golden bottle at his feet and said, "Why can't you touch it?" ā
Uncle Yan Tai explained: "You may not know, near Dali City! There is a real thing, it happened in 2001, an old man ran into a cave in the mountains to hide from the rain, and found this kind of gold pot at that time, he opened it and was frightened, despite the storm at that time, he stumbled all the way home. Since then, the old man has been ill, and before he dies he tells his son that there is actually a corpse hidden in the golden jar! ā
"Corpses?" The monk originally believed Uncle Yan Tai's expression, but when he mentioned the corpse, he lifted the gold pot with a strange expression. Pouted and said, "Pull it!" Can a corpse be put in such a big fart place? Lao Tzu pry it open and take a look, rest assured! The monk's grandfather is a Shaolin monk, and there are no taboos! ā
As he spoke, the monk tore open the lid of the jar and unscrewed the lid with a pop......
