Chapter Seventy-One: The Ten Palaces of Hades

If there is no letter in Xiao Lianshan's hand, even if we find the entrance, we can only be helpless, we have to admire Hongxuzi's ingenious technique, Xiao Lianshan according to the detailed record of the organ in the letter, carefully opened the mountain wall that has been closed for hundreds of years, and a long dark passage appeared in front of us.

Only after walking in can you comprehend the mystery of the Hongxuzi mechanism, just walk in a few steps and suddenly feel a burst of hot air currents coming towards you, and you don't stay in the passage for long before your mouth is dry, and the soles of your feet seem to be stepping on a charcoal fire.

"There's a volcano down there!"

Xiao Lianshan squatted on the ground and touched it with his hand, and said in surprise.

"In addition to considering feng shui, another reason why Hongxuzi chose the emperor's tomb here is that there is a volcano here, and once the mausoleum is forcibly destroyed and the mechanism is touched, the entire emperor's tomb will collapse."

Nangong Yi also saw the clues.

I picked up the lighted torch and looked around, and there were many mechanisms in the corridor, and just above our heads were huge rocks, supported by mechanisms and connected to the entrance, if we forced our way in, these boulders would fall in an instant, blocking the passage of entry in the first place.

Xiao Lianshan said that looking at the specifications and styles of the mausoleum, it was completely built in accordance with the Central Plains Emperor's Mausoleum, and after we passed through the deep corridor, we kept going down, and the road ahead became more and more wide, but our speed was not fast, and along the way, Xiao Lianshan was carefully removing the unknown danger according to the mechanism he had written.

If it weren't for the hacking method of those mechanisms left in Hongxuzi's letters, I think that even if anyone could find this place, they would either die here or destroy the entire mausoleum.

The passage has been going down, leading us to the bottom of the mountain, where the whole mountain has been dug up, and you can imagine how huge the construction of this place was, and the further down we went, the more stuffy it became, and our breathing became a little harder.

Our pace of progress was blocked on a small platform, there were grooves on both sides Xiao Lianshan touched our hands and told us that it was boiled animal oil, he used a torch to ignite the oil in the groove, and suddenly the fire began to spread, our torches can only illuminate a small space, but with the spread of the fire, more and more things appear in front of us.

We all looked around curiously and excitedly, only Han Yu was alone looking at the ground with his head buried in his head, he squatted down with a frown, touched the ground with his hand, and said to us in surprise.

"Silver?!"

Only then did we focus our attention on Han Yu, as he said, the entire ground where we are standing now is covered with silver, not only the four walls of the ground and everything is made of silver, refracting the white light in the firelight, and the entire platform is as bright as day.

We extinguished the torch in our hands, after all, it was a Tianjiao from all over the world, and even the passage of his mausoleum was paved with silver, but Han Yu did not stand up, what surprised him was not the luxury of this mausoleum, he knelt on the ground and looked carefully for a long time, and then looked around.

"How weird?"

Han Yu slowly raised his head, his expression very surprised.

"What's wrong?"

Yun Duruo asked puzzled.

"There are countless countries large and small in Genghis Khan's formation, and it is understandable to pave the road with silver, but there are Taoist inscriptions on the ground paved with silver."

Han Yu replied with a frowning and puzzled.

"This mausoleum was built by Hongxuzi, maybe he combined the culture of Taoism in the Central Plains, and it is not surprising that there are Taoist inscriptions."

Gu Xiaoxiao said disapprerovingly beside him.

"After death, people pay attention to entering the earth for peace is not to be disturbed, Taoism is also to do the dojo but the last wish of the deceased, peace of mind into reincarnation, even if there is an inscription engraved in the cemetery, it is an auspicious text to avoid evil."

Han Yu slowly stood up from the ground and said in surprise.

"But ......"

"But what?"

I asked curiously.

"The Taoist inscription on this earth is the Heavenly Gang Earth Demon Breaking Rune."

Han Yu replied hesitantly.

"Yuzi, what is this hell?"

Yun Duruo asked.

"You think too much, Hongxuzi built a mausoleum, and it is normal to have Taoist inscriptions, Genghis Khan died when he was buried here, and he is also a ghost."

Nangong Yi said unhurriedly.

"These inscriptions may be meant to protect his soul."

"If that's the case, it's simple, the problem is that what is inscribed here is Tiangang and Earth, these are Taoist gods, the so-called Tiangang is nine days and thirty-six Tiangang, these gods are all heavenly soldiers and fierce gods, and Earth Evil refers to seventy-two earth soldiers and evil evil, these two are called divine generals."

Han Yu shook his head and said sternly.

"What do these gods do?"

Nangong Yi asked.

"The two have their own duties, but the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-two Earth Demons are both divine generals who protect the Nine Heavens and the immortals, and they have considerable attainments in mana and divine skills."

Han Yu said as he pointed to the inscriptions on the ground.

"These inscriptions are Taoist spells, borrowing the spells of the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two earth demons to jointly exorcise evil spirits and remove charms."

"I also heard my grandfather once say that the heavens and the earth are evil, but these gods and soldiers are all demons and exorcists, Genghis Khan was buried here after his death, and he also asked Hongxuzi to build a mausoleum and set up a mechanism, just to prevent someone from opening it without authorization."

Gu Xiaoxiao also said suspiciously after hearing this.

"But why are there so many inscriptions in the mausoleum?"

"Genghis Khan is very relieved about this mausoleum, and he believes that anyone will not be able to enter this place even if he can find it, and he has never guarded against people."

Xiao Lianshan stood next to him and said calmly.

"Dad, what is Genghis Khan guarding against?"

I asked, confused.

"He's guarding against evil spirits!"

Han Yu replied to me affirmatively.

"That's what makes me wonder why Genghis Khan is guarding against this."

Not only the ground, under the light of the fire, we found that there are such Taoist inscriptions everywhere around, which has been continuing with the passage, this buried in the ground for hundreds of years has not been opened the imperial tomb, although it has seen the light of day again, but this strange passage and platform have added a bit of mystery to this magnificent imperial tomb.

"Come and see."

The prince, who was at the forefront, turned his head to us and said.

We walked briskly, and the further we went, the more spacious it became, and on the left and right sides of the platform appeared five murals carved in silver, each five or six meters high, and we could only see the contents of the murals when we stood below.

In the first mural, a person sits in front of the case in the hall, the person has raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, with a war helmet on his head, wearing lead armor, a belt around his waist, leather boots, and his hands arched in front of his chest.

In the second fresco, there is another palace, in which the man sits with a frowning and glaring eye, with long manes on his ears, a square crown on his head, and a robe on his knees, holding a rosary in his left hand and a wat in his right hand between his knees.

The third ...... "This is the picture of the Ten Palaces of Yan Jun!" ”

When we saw the third picture, the prince suddenly froze in place and said in shock.

"When the ten murals here are separated from left to right, one hall of King Qin Guang, two halls of King Chujiang, three halls of Emperor Song to the last ten halls of the Wheel King."

The prince pointed to the mural and told us that the ten halls of Yama are the ten kings in charge of hell in Buddhism, and Yama is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which can also be called the king of Yama.

At the same time, there are also hell divided into ten halls, the ten halls all have the main name of the ten kings of the underworld, the ten kings have their own names, collectively known as the ten halls of the king of Yama, their names are, one hall Qin Guang Wang, two halls, Chu Jiang Wang, three halls, Song Emperor, four halls, five official kings, five halls, Yama king, six halls, Bian Cheng Wang, seven palaces, Taishan Wang, eight palaces, city kings, nine halls, equality kings, ten halls, wheel kings.

The prince told us that the underworld is divided into east and west, and that there are ten halls of Hades and millions of jailers in charge, who are responsible for the karma of life, death, sin, and blessing, and the eight heats and colds of hell and the small prisons of their dependents, etc., to seek revenge on sinners, punish and punish them, and decide between good and evil, and there is no rest.

"It's really getting more and more interesting, I haven't seen anyone carve the murals of the Ten Halls of Yama in the mausoleum, how can Hongxuzi say that he is also a Taoist master, how can he not know the life and death of the Yama monarch, Genghis Khan will re-enter reincarnation even if he dies, and the underworld will bow down to the judgment."

Han Yu said with a frown and a puzzled face.

"Hongxuzi actually engraved the Ten Halls of Enma here, isn't he afraid of angering the Yin King."

"There is another possibility, since this Taoist inscription engraved everywhere is to prevent ghosts and evil spirits, Genghis Khan was not worried that someone would disturb his long sleep, but was worried about the invasion of ghosts and evil spirits after death."

Gu Xiaoxiao pointed to the mural and said thoughtfully.

"Could it be that carving these murals is also the intention, how dare the ten hall enmas dare to be presumptuous here."

"I don't think it's that simple."

I rubbed my forehead and said meaningfully.

"At least now this imperial tomb is finally connected to the previous murder."

Since Xie Tong was killed, the seventeen murders that have occurred one after another have all been killed in the criminal law of the Eighteen Hells, and we only know that the people who were killed are all descendants of the eighteen red wolves who left the grassland with the secret of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, but as for why these people were executed in a strange way, we still haven't figured it out.

Now I see the murals of the Ten Halls of Hades in this cemetery, it seems that I am correcting something, but the mystery may only be known to Xiao Lianshan, but I know that he does not intend to tell us, he has his own purpose to come here, I withdrew my gaze from the mural and looked at Xiao Lianshan, he has been looking at the end of the passage for a long time, as if he was expecting something.

Of course it won't be gold, silver and jewelry, these things have always been worthless in his heart, I can still remember the conversation between him and Li Zhao and Qing Yang, they and the Fusang people are actually looking for the same thing, I am a little curious to follow this Xiao Lianshan's gaze and look at the depths of the passage, what is more important in this magnificent imperial tomb than the wealth of the rich and rival country?
