Chapter Twenty-Nine: Departure

"So, could it be that old guy really ascended to immortal?"

"Liu Ansheng didn't ascend to immortal, I don't know, but his tomb in Shouchun is indeed an empty tomb. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion asked me to say that this Liu An should have found something in the tomb of the Lu family, and after his own death, he was also secretly buried in the tomb. The monk speculated.

"According to you, what treasure is hidden in the tomb of the gods? Otherwise, he would not have done such a sneaky thing for a dignified generation of King Huainan. ”

The monk said: "It is said that from the first King of Lu Boyi to the last King of Lu Chan, they are all buried here. Think about it, the funeral goods of the hundred kings of Lu, the treasures accumulated by the royal family of Lu for more than 1,500 years, what should be the scene? But I think Liu An shouldn't be interested in these, he wants as much gold and silver treasures as he wants. Moreover, elephant mound-style collective tombs like the Lu royal family are very rare in history. If I want to guess, there must be something special in the tomb of the gods that made all the tombs of King Lu of the past dynasties concentrated here. Liu An should have discovered that thing and buried himself in it. ”

Cassia was puzzled: "Liu An knows that he buried himself in it, so is King Chu Wen lacking his heart and eyes?" Just bring that thing out. ”

The monk analyzed: "Most of the materials from the period of King Wen of Chu have been lost, so it is very difficult to find. However, from the time King Wen of Chu destroyed Lu to Liu An's re-entry into the tomb of the Lu family, there was a time difference of more than 600 years. My personal guess is that it should have been some kind of change in the tomb of the Lu family in the past six hundred years that made Liu An move that thought. ”

"Where did you get this information?" I've always wondered about this question.

"The message doesn't ask the source, it's the rule. There's an old saying that 'a man should not be a good look', how? Am I really a monk? I am willing to give you this news, because I will see that you are pitiful, lest you enter the tomb of the gods when the time comes, and you will not even know where you will die. Anyway, I didn't lie to you, it's just that the monks don't speak, and you know it. ”

If this guy plays a scoundrel, he's invincible. Cassia and I knew this and didn't ask him anymore. Anyway, we know enough, and what he just said contains too much information, so I have to figure it out myself.

In fact, there are three key words in the whole thing: the Lu family, the king of Chu Wen, and the king of Huainan, Liu An. Three types of characters, three time periods, three different regions. Under normal circumstances, no one would have imagined that there would be some kind of connection between the three of them. The sacrificial platform built by King Wen of Chu in the "waterless pool" has survived until now. And the road we are taking now should be the one that King Chu Wen or Liu An took back then.

And the problem we have to face now is that there is a professional tomb robber gang that has gone ahead of us. Besides, we've been resting here for four days, and they've definitely found the entrance to the tomb. Are we going to go for nothing again? Just like what happened to the burial room before. And judging from the tattoos on their bodies, this group of people must have some special relationship with the Lu Clan's Divine Tomb.

But the only thing we can do now is wait. Cassia discussed with the monk to go to the front to find out the situation first, but the master said that he would not agree to anything. The closer we get to our destination, the more dangerous we may become. At this juncture, no one can have any more accidents. Everything, wait for the guards to wake up.

We stayed here for another day. Wuzhensan ran out two days ago, and now the vigil is kept by two people, the other two rest, and the three hours are rotated. For food, we only had cereals and the last packet of pastrami left. The beef was left for the guards, and there was plenty of dry food to keep us going for a few more days.

I waited until late at night on the fifth day, and I felt like it was late at night, and the guards finally woke up. At that time, Cassia and I were still sleeping, and in a daze, I heard the monk constantly shouting, "Wake up, wake up..". I realized it might be a guard and jerked up from the ground. Sure enough, the kid finally woke up, and the master was feeding him salt water.

He hadn't eaten properly for five days, and he must be hungry now. The monk and I hurriedly boiled soup for him, and the master said that he could only eat liquid food now, and he wanted to be light, just beef. The monk's eyes were wide, and his face was angry, saying that we were biased, why didn't he have this treatment when he woke up. I said, how can you blame us for this? At that time, did you rob us with a dead face? Eat more vigorously than a pig, I can't stop it.

The monk was poked into the ugly thing, his old face turned red, and he snorted a few times and stopped talking.

The guards did not show any desire to eat, but they still obeyed the master's instructions and drank some light soup. His complexion recovered well, and he looked normal except for his face being a little pale. I paid special attention to his eyes, and they were no different than usual. The heart said, "Did I see it wrong at the time?"

"How many days did I sleep?" The guard asked softly.

The monk stretched out his hand and said, "No more, no less, exactly five days." ”

"Five days? It should have ended. He muttered to himself, a look in his eyes that I couldn't fathom.

"It's over? What do you mean? The monk was confused by his words.

"As long as you wake up, anything will be in time." Master's tone seemed to comfort him.

The guards didn't say a word, but began to pack their things on their own.

The monk hurriedly went up to stop him: "Hey, I said brother, you won't rest anymore?" Are you physically good? Don't hold it up. ”

The guards ignored him, and he looked like he was in a hurry. As soon as I saw this posture, I said that Bacheng was about to set off, and hurriedly kicked Cassia awake and told him not to sleep, and it was time to go on the road. Cassia saw that the guards had woken up, his face was incredible, and when he saw that we were all packing up, his face was even more incredible.

The monk said to him, don't be stunned, hurry up and help clean up your things.

"Packing up? Where are you going? ”

The monk replied without raising his head: "Where else can I go?" Lower Underground Palace. ”

As soon as Cassia heard this, he suddenly became energetic and hurriedly began to pack his things. Several people have rested for so long, and now they are full of energy, especially a few of them, and the injuries on their bodies have almost healed. We are now very close to the last underground Xuan Palace, what does the tomb of the Lu Clan look like? What treasures are buried in it? Is Liu An, the king of Huainan, buried inside? And what does that mysterious character represent?

All this will slowly be revealed as we approach the dungeon.

After a stick of incense, everyone began to march into the depths of the stone road. There is nothing special about this stone path, the only difference is that there are no traces of jade veins on the rock wall. In other words, this may be the fault layer of the jade vein under Dushan, which belongs to the vacuum zone of the jade vein. Without the jade vein, the miners would not have wasted their efforts to fight the idea here. The underground palace is placed here, and it is indeed very secluded and safe.

After walking for about half an hour, we reached the end of the stone path. At this moment, a man-made stone staircase appeared in front of us. The stairs are very steep, all the way down to the end, and you don't know where it leads.

The guards had no intention of stopping, and began to walk down the steps with torches, and we followed. I don't know when this stone staircase was built, and the rock walls on both sides are carved with various patterns and words. I barely recognize those words, they must have been left a long time ago. However, after walking for a while, I realized that these patterns and words were not completed in a short period of time, and some of them experienced a considerable time span between them. I even saw a few Liti characters engraved next to a pile of inscriptions, perhaps left behind when King Huainan walked this stone staircase.

On the rock walls on both sides of the stone staircase are many permanent lanterns, almost one every twenty steps. The everlasting lantern is still on, it should have been lit by the previous group, otherwise the everlasting lantern would not have burned until now. The stone staircase is extremely narrow, and the atmosphere is a little solidified. People in such a narrow space will unconsciously become anxious. I walked for a long time, but I still didn't reach the end of the stone staircase, and the further down I went, the more my heart hung in my heart. Where does this staircase lead? Are we going to just go all the way to the Netherworld?

The dimly lit environment made the atmosphere very oppressive, and the echoes of our footsteps were everywhere. The originally relaxed mood gradually began to tense, and even the monk with big nerves began to look around and recite Amitabha.

"When is it going to go?"

The monk walked at the end and couldn't help but ask. But no one answered him except his echo. For no one knows when this stone staircase will be a head. We went from being cautious at the beginning to moving faster and faster. Except for the guards, several people were very anxious.

Finally, after a long ordeal, I finally saw the end of the stone staircase. At the end of the hill is a rock crevice, and you can't see the other side, but there is a white stone bridge not far away. However, when we got closer, we unfortunately found that the stone bridge had already collapsed, and only two piers remained.

Several of us looked at each other, and neither of us expected this to be the case at the end of the stone staircase.

I wondered, how did that group of people get through?

At this moment, the monk suddenly shouted: "There is a rope on the pier!" ”

We immediately surrounded it. Sure enough, a rope hung down on the pier, and it seems that they did not reach the other side, but chose to climb down.

Could it be that the tomb of the Lu clan is under this rock crevice?

The guard was the first to climb down with torches, and he was very fast, and it didn't take long to signal us below, and we climbed down one by one. As I climbed down, I found many sarcophagi on the rock wall beneath my feet. And in some places there are only wooden frames, and the sarcophagus does not know where it went. However, these sarcophagi are uncovered, and they are dark inside, and I don't know what there is.

Cassia reminded me below not to touch the coffin next to me. Those sarcophagi looked evil, and I tried to distance myself from them. Since I had previous climbing experience, I was a little handy this time, I knew how to save the most effort, and my movements began to be coherent.

By the time we all reached the bottom, it had been more than an hour. Standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up, the terrain here is as if it has been split by a huge mountain axe. After descending to the bottom, the clues left by the group were broken. The bottom of the valley is full of rubble, and there will definitely be no mechanism in this kind of place, so we go more daringly.
