Chapter 102: Vertical Arch Collection

The nine-tailed fox squatted on Wu Zetian's coffin and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since you have seen Gaozong's coffin, let's open the coffin of this ancient empress to see her beauty." ”

Ding Laosan knew that the nine-tailed fox was thinking about its 'Qingling Pearl', and smiled: "The fox fairy is really in a hurry, I have been waiting for more than a thousand years, why should I care about this time!" The treasure of the fox clan is yours anyway, no one will rob you, you can take it later. ”

"Wait, what did you say about this fox fairy? That's not going to work! Everything in this Qianling Tomb is owned by the state! "Professor Dong didn't hear the conversation between Kun Yuanzi and the fox fairy, and he didn't know that the nine-tailed fox was going to take the 'Qingling Pearl', but now he heard that the nine-tailed fox was going to take the things in Wu Zetian's coffin, and he was anxious all of a sudden.

Ye Lao hurriedly explained: "At the beginning, Kun Yuanzi took the holy treasure of the fox clan - 'Qingling Bead' and placed it in Wu Zetian's coffin. ”

"Brother, I can't call the shots in this matter! In short, no matter what, this expedition could not take anything from this Qianling Tomb. It's discipline! Professor Dong firmly disagreed.

When the nine-tailed fox heard this, he immediately spread out the nine tails, and glared at Professor Dong with anger on his face, so frightened that Professor Dong quickly hid behind Ye Lao.

Seeing this, Ye Lao hurriedly persuaded: "The fox fairy is angry!" Brother Dong, it is reasonable to be reasonable, this Qingling Bead should be taken by the fox fairy, after all, it is originally someone else's thing. ”

Professor Dong saw that the nine-tailed fox was staring at him with a pair of terrifying eyes, and he didn't dare to object explicitly for a while, but he never nodded in agreement.

At this time, Ding Laosan on the side rolled his eyes and said: "Hehe, Dong Lao, I think it's better to ask the fox fairy to take this evil thing quickly, otherwise wait until Wu Zetian absorbs the demonic energy in this bead, once she comes back to life and becomes an old witch, don't say that Qianling will have to be ruined by her, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the world!" You can't afford that. ”

"Brother Ding, are you ...... What do you say, this ...... Is this thing an evil thing? When Professor Dong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

"Of course! The things of the demon clan are very evil! If you don't believe it, you will know when you open the coffin! After Ding Laosan finished speaking, he called everyone up and lifted the lid of Wu Zetian's coffin.

Wu Zetian's coffin was opened, and when everyone looked inside, they were immediately shocked and speechless.

The body of Empress Wu more than 1,300 years ago was lying peacefully in the coffin, and it was still lifelike. According to historical records, Wu Zetian was eighty-one years old when he died, and it should be an old woman with silver hair, but the female corpse in front of her looked only twenty or thirty years old, with a ruddy complexion, delicate skin like jade, and it could be broken by blowing. If it weren't for the phoenix robe and phoenix crown, there would be no way to connect it with Wu Zetian, who died at the age of eighty-one.

Ding Laosan originally just scared Professor Dong, thinking that since Kun Yuanzi said that Qing Lingzhu could maintain his face forever, then Wu Zetian should still be the same as when he died, and Professor Dong would definitely be shocked when he saw it.

However, even Ding Laosan can't hold the situation in front of him, this Wu Zetian not only has an unfading appearance, but he is actually getting younger and younger, could it be that he really let himself be right, this old witch is really alive!?

Thinking of this, Ding Laosan hurriedly pulled out the Xuantie Sword, and the others immediately took a few steps back when they saw it, and took out their guys one after another.

Professor Dong and Li Su were so frightened that they hid behind everyone.

At this time, the nine-tailed fox spoke: "You don't need to be nervous, this is the treasure of my fox clan - the 'Qingling Bead' is working, wait for me to take it out first." ”

After the nine-tailed fox finished speaking, its whole body rose into the air, and it actually floated on top of Wu Zetian's coffin, it closed its eyes, and its mouth was chanting, and its nine spiritual tails gradually became larger and longer, entangled in the air.

After a while, a white bead the size of an egg with a layer of white mist rose from Wu Zetian's corpse, and the nine-tailed fox opened its mouth and sucked the bead into its body.

Everyone was stunned on the side, and at this moment, suddenly there was a rustling sound from Wu Zetian's coffin, and everyone's hearts tightened, and they all clenched the guy in their hands, and then looked at the sound, but they were suddenly surprised.

I saw that Wu Zetian's body was rapidly shriveling and shrinking, and his black hair, which was still black just now, turned into silver threads in an instant, and the delicate jade-like skin gradually became shriveled and black, and the blood on his face was long gone.

The image of a girl who was still full and touching just now has completely turned into a dry corpse with clear bone outlines in an instant.

Ding Laosan put away the Xuantie Sword and sighed, "I didn't expect this Qingling Bead to be so magical!" Today I kind of opened my eyes! ”

Professor Dong was stunned from the sidelines, and after a while, he remembered and hurriedly asked Li Su, "Did Xiao Li take pictures?" Li Su was still immersed in the magical scene just now, and as soon as he heard Professor Dong's words, he quickly raised his camera to take pictures.

Professor Dong hurriedly said: "I'm not asking you to take pictures now!" I'm asking if you have taken a picture of Wu Zetian's appearance before the change? ”

Li Su was stunned for a moment, obviously, he was completely frightened by the girlish appearance of Wu Zetian's corpse just now, where would he think of taking pictures of her.

Professor Dong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Providence! Providence! The world is destined not to see the beauty of the martial arts. ”

At this time, Ye Lao comforted on the side: "Brother Dong doesn't have to take it too seriously, Wu Zetian's appearance just now should not have been seen by the world, if you want to know what Wu Zetian looked like when he was young, maybe there is another item in this coffin." ”

Yu Fei asked on the side, "Old Ye, do you mean that there is still a clear spirit bead in the coffin?" ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid there is only one Qingling Bead in the world, but it is said that among Wu Zetian's funeral goods, there is also a portrait that she loved very much during her lifetime, Brother Dong might as well look for it." Ye Lao reminded.

"That's right! Right! I almost forgot about this! Professor Dong said, and wanted to go up to check the stack of calligraphy and paintings next to Wu Zetian's pillow, but after approaching, he didn't dare to reach out to take it. After all, Wu Zetian's appearance had changed too much just now, and he was timid for a while.

Ye Lao saw Professor Dong's scruples and helped him take out the thick stack of calligraphy and paintings.

Professor Dong took the calligraphy and painting and couldn't wait to look at it.

"Vertical Arch Collection! It's "Vertical Arch Collection"! As soon as Professor Dong turned the first page, he shouted excitedly.

"What? This is "Vertical Arch Collection"?! Ye Lao hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, on the first page, there were three big characters printed - Vertical Arch Collection, Ye Lao couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that it is really as recorded in historical records, and "Vertical Arch Collection" has really become Wu Zetian's funeral goods. ”

What is this "Vertical Arch Collection", Yu Fei has never heard of it, and even the old ghost and Ding Hao don't know, let alone Luo Zi.

Ye Lao explained to everyone: "The "Vertical Arch Collection" is a scroll written by Wu Zetian in imitation of Wang Xi's travel book, and it is a treasure in the treasure house of calligraphy art in my country. A total of 100 volumes, the content can be divided into two parts, one is to describe how she went from a talented woman to Zhaoyi, then to the empress, and finally to the emperor, which is a diary of her court life; The other part is the summary of her experience in governing the country. ”

Professor Dong added: "This collection of vertical arches recounts many major court events of the Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian dynasties, and is of great historical value for studying the history of the Tang Dynasty and uncovering many doubts in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Li, shoot all of this "Vertical Arch Collection" and take it back to study it carefully! ”

After speaking, he put a thick stack of "Vertical Arch Collection" scrolls on the ground, and opened the pages for Li Su to shoot, the memory card in Li Su's camera was full, he replaced it with a new memory card, and began to shoot seriously.

There are more than 1,000 pages of this "Vertical Arch Collection", Li Su has not finished shooting for nearly two hours, and he has been holding the camera with both hands, and he is almost unable to lift it, while everyone else is waiting on the side and is almost asleep.

Finally, the last few pages were photographed, and suddenly a portrait of a young girl came into everyone's eyes.

"This is the only self-portrait of Wu Zetian when he was a girl! It's really a little similar to what she just looked! Professor Dong said excitedly.

"Wow! Draw so well! Even Luo Zi, who didn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, was amazed.

"Brother Luo doesn't know, this portrait is Yan Liben's true handiwork, and it is also the only portrait of Wu Zetian that can let future generations see his true face, and its value is immeasurable!" Ye Lao said.

Luo Zi was stunned, turned around and asked Yu Fei, "Who is Yan Liben?" ”

When everyone heard this, they almost fell to the ground. Yu Fei shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I said brother, how did you pass this history back then!" ”

Luo Zi smiled and said: "Hehe, you forgot, I have never passed in history, and the only time I passed was to copy you." ”

Yu Fei felt that he was going to be completely speechless, so he had to say: "Forget it, I can't communicate with you, just remember that Yan Liben is a painter in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"It's a painter, no wonder he paints so well!"

"You can see that you can draw well even if you are illiterate!" Yu Fei smiled bitterly.
