Standing directly below the magnificent and gorgeous palace like the Heavenly Palace, I felt that the whole person was incomparably small. This special building of the palace condenses all the essence of Chinese classical architectural style and technology, and is a direct refraction of the emperor's political and ethical concepts, as early as the Xia Dynasty, there was the prototype of the palace, to the Sui and Tang dynasties for the peak, and the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations can not surpass, but it is more refined in the subtleties.

Although the ancient Dian Kingdom was a barren land in the southwest and regarded itself as a foreign country, it was originally a part of the Qin State, and the royal power was always in the hands of the Qin people until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The construction of this tomb of the king is naturally inseparable from the overall framework of the Qin and Han dynasties, the appearance and layout are according to the Qin system, and the building materials have absorbed a lot of advanced experience of the Han Dynasty.

There are long jade steps under the main hall, the number of stars in the upper combination, a total of ninety-nine steps, due to the relationship of the terrain, although this jade step is wide, but extremely steep, the bottom just extends upwards from the rainbow light of the road, straight to the palace door. The main hall is composed of one hundred and sixty nanmu trees, only to see layers of Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams, and the ability to do everything in luxury.

These are exactly the same as the description on the Zhenling spectrum, in the desperate place of this precipice, the rocks overlap, the layers of palaces are all thrown into the cliff, gradually rising, with the smoke of the void, there is a risk of wanting to attach or not attached. The three of us were dizzy and horrified. Climb the jade steps along the stone plank road of the mountain concave, look at it, but see the towering rock pavilion on the golden top, the waterfall curtain at the cliff ancient road, the ancient wood and strange vines around the deep pool, the rainbow light floats in all directions, listen to the birdsong in the valley, a group of isolated and unearthly scenes. If I hadn't seen a lot of creepy things hidden in this deep valley beforehand, I'm afraid I would really think of this place as a fairyland.

And now, no matter how wonderful the scene of this heavenly palace is, it always has a preconceived feeling that there is an evil aura inside, no matter how decorated, no matter how luxurious, it is a palace for the dead, a big tomb. And in order to repair this big tomb, I don't know how many people died. There is a saying: 10,000 people cut wood, and one person ascends to heaven.

The white jade steps hang above the deep pool valley, steep and slippery, probably due to the shift of the center of gravity, the whole palace slopes out a few degrees to the side of the deep pool, and it seems that it may turn into the abyss at any time. The fat man was so frightened on the plank road that his face changed color, and he couldn't say a word, at this moment in a very high place, his feet stepped on this dangerous white jade step, and his soul was not possessed, so he had to be supported by me and Shirley Yang, and he could slowly go up with his eyes closed.

Walking to the end of the jade steps, I suddenly found that the air here was completely different from that under the dragon halo, under which the water vapor was abundant, and every qiē was wet, while the heavenly palace where we were now was extremely cool and dry. Unexpectedly, between this high and low, the humidity is so different, this should be the dragon halo isolated the water vapor below, in the turbid and indistinct environment, so that the palace building remains as new to this day. It is worthy of being subtle and mysterious, the first fairy cave of goodness, and the fairy shape of the dragon halo of that day, which is indeed extraordinary.

This jade step is already difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to carry a fat man. The three of them dragged and climbed, and finally rubbed onto the platform. I asked Shirley Yang for a diamond umbrella, came to the front of the temple door, and saw a stone tablet standing next to the door, under the tablet is a kneeling monster, making a posture of carrying the monument in the clouds, the stone tablet has a few big characters on it, and the strokes are complicated, I can't recognize any of them, only know that it may be an ancient seal.

I had to ask Shirley Yang to come over to identify it, Shirley Yang only looked at it once, and then pointed to those words and read them one by one: "Xuanzhi and Xuan, the gate of all wonders, Lingyun Heavenly Palace, Huixian Treasure Palace." It turns out that the Ming Tower of this ancient tomb has a famous purpose, called "Lingyun Palace", and this first palace is called "Huixian Palace".

I couldn't help laughing and scolding: "King Xian probably wants to be a fairy and wants to go crazy, thinking that by building a palace on the cliff, he can invite the gods to come to meet, play chess and play the piano with him, and then pass on some immortal immortal skills." ”

Shirley Young said to me, "What emperor doesn't seek immortality?" However, since the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, most of the monarchs of later generations have understood that it is just a dream like light and shadow, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, even if you are the true son of heaven, it is difficult to act against the sky. But even if they understand this, they still want to enjoy the glory and wealth of their lives after death, which is why they attach so much importance to the layout of the royal tomb. ”

I said to Shirley Young, "If they hadn't bought so many funeral goods in a lavish and lascivious manner, where would there be any golden captain in this world?" As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked open the door of the temple. The door of the temple was only closed, and it was not locked, and it was very heavy, and even if I kicked three times, I only kicked open a small crack, and it was difficult for even one person to enter, and the inside was black, and I could not see anything clearly.

Although according to past experience, there are very few hidden weapons in the Ming Building, but I am not willing to take unnecessary risks, just opened the temple door, immediately dodged to the side, held up the King Kong umbrella to cover the vital point, waited for a while, saw that there was no abnormal movement in the hall, and then went over again and pushed the gap in the temple door a little bigger.

I nodded to Fat Man and Shirley Young and motioned for me to go in, and all three of them took their weapons and lighting equipment, and together they pushed the door open completely. Although it was daytime, the sunlight could only reach the doorway, and the vast depths of the palace were still dark and gloomy, so I had to raise a flashlight to explore the way.

As soon as I stepped through the tall mahogany threshold of the temple gate, I saw dozens of giant statues standing on both sides of the door, first of all, two mighty and evil bronze lions, both of which were more than one person high. On the left is a male lion with a golden ball under his paws, symbolizing the supreme power to unify the universe; The lion cub on the right has a lion cub under its paw, symbolizing the endless offspring, this is the female lion.

The bronze platform where the lion crouches is engraved with a phoenix and a peony, and together the three symbolize the "king"——— the king of beasts, the king of birds, and the king of flowers.

Although there are many stone lions in the world, and bronze lions are relatively rare, but they are not nothing, so there is nothing strange about this, strange is strange that this pair of bronze lions is not placed in front of the temple door, but placed inside, I don't know for what reason, in short, it is very unreasonable.

Behind the bronze lion is a pair of hedgehogs, calves, elephants, unicorns, camels, and horses, and there are military generals, civil ministers, and lords after the bronze beasts. The postures and costumes of the bronze figures are very peculiar, not so much to serve the royal road in the court, but to perform some strange ritual. A large group of bronze beasts and bronze men guarded the deepest throne of the temple like stars holding the moon.

The fat man said: "How is this palace completely different from the Ming Tower of the Ming Tombs we visited?" In the golden cover of the treasure roof of the Ming Tombs, although it is also in the form of a palace, there are no these strange bronze men and bronze beasts. ”

I said to the fat man, "It's not surprising, anyway, they all pursue to serve death like a servant, and the dynasties are different, so the form is different, but the purpose is exactly the same." Let's go to Shaanxi...... When you travel, haven't you also seen large tiles all over the ground in Hanling District? It was all left over from the collapsed Han cemetery above-ground palace, and the wooden beams could not withstand the wear and tear of thousands of years, and had long since decayed into the air, while the bricks and tiles have been preserved until now. ”

The so-called "different dynasties, different shapes" is just my own words to comfort myself, as for the name of these bronze statues that have stood quietly in the palace for thousands of years, I still don't know what to do, but I don't want to turn this kind of suspicious psychology into the psychological pressure of the fat man and Shirley Yang, I hope I am too worried.

Shirley Yang saw the extraordinary atmosphere in the hall, and also said that this Dian country is the southwest of the land, and its king's tomb has such a pomp, in contrast, those who represent the centralized power of the Tang Dynasty Han Wu tomb, in which the treasures are calculated in thousands of tons, not to mention how large. It's a pity that it was destroyed by Yan zhòng very early, and we modern people will never have the opportunity to see it, so we can only imagine it.

I said to Shirley Yang: "Not all king's tombs have the style of offering the king's tomb, the king has no plan for his descendants at all, maybe his life's pursuit is to be buried in the dragon halo after death, so as to become an immortal." ”

Because this Lingyun Palace is the above-ground facility of the ancient cemetery, not the burial chamber where the coffin is placed, we are still relaxed, and we are not as nervous as if we have entered the Xuan Palace. The hall was surprisingly quiet, and the more there was no movement, the more eerie it looked.

My palms began to sweat, too, for no one had been in this place for two thousand years, but there was no damp musty smell at all, and everything was covered with a thick layer of dust. These ashes also come from the bricks and tiles in the temple, without any dust from the outside world, covering the history of 2,000 years ago.

The throne inlaid with gold and jade is in the deepest part of the Huixian Palace, and there is a golden pool in front of it, but there is no white jade bridge in the middle. This pool is not narrow, the water in it has long dried up, from here through the pool with a wolf's eye to shine through, can only vaguely see a red jade dragon coiled on the throne, can not see whether there is a sitting statue of the king.

Seeing this, the fat man scolded: "Is it true that people who are leaders like to be separated from the masses?" It's so far away from the ministers, and it's still discussing the government, let's go and take a look. "Picking up a Chicago typewriter and jumping into a pool more than a meter deep.

Shirley Yang and I also jumped down from the dry golden pool with him, and saw that there was a wooden boat in the pool, made in the shape of lotus leaves.

Before we could go up from the other end of the golden pool, we couldn't hold our breath, and we took the wolf's eyes and looked at the opposite side, there seemed to be no human figure on the throne, but behind it was extraordinary. The more the three of us looked at it, the more strange it became, and we couldn't wait to climb to the other side, and my heart became worried: "Could it be that I have a god-like mind that understands things wrong?" From here, it seems that the sky collapse and the crash should have nothing to do with it, so is the body of the king still in the tomb? ”
