Chapter 186, Stone Mural Statue
I looked at her and said, "Isn't this a eunuch?" Will there be such treatment? can actually build him such a large underground palace as a tomb. ”
Jenny shook her head slowly and said, "I don't know about this, let alone such a big underground palace, even if it is an ordinary tomb, some eunuchs don't have it, and many eunuchs don't have a good death when they are old." ”
"According to normal speaking, even if it is a eunuch in all dynasties, the power of the government and the opposition will never have this treatment, after all, during the reign of the emperor, the actual status of the eunuch is still very humble, and he is not qualified to have such a large-scale construction of the underground palace."
Now there are more and more problems, on such a deserted island, dangers exist everywhere, there are a large number of Ming and Qing dynasties buried under the mountain, which is strange enough, and now there is a large tomb of a Ming Dynasty eunuch here, and there is no corpse yet, but if you think about it, these two things must be related.
But what is the specific connection, I really can't think of it, these things are confusing me, I reached out and pressed my temple, I felt my head hurt, if there is a corpse here, then it can be said better, but it has no corpse, this thing is not right.
The grave of this great eunuch? Could it be the real mausoleum of Zheng He, isn't he the biggest eunuch, otherwise Emperor Yongle would not have sent him to sea back then.
In the Ming Dynasty at that time, Zheng He was also a figure, and when he went to sea, he also took away a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from the Ming Dynasty, which was almost equivalent to a quarter of the country's financial resources.
It was not until after the death of Emperor Yongle that Zheng He was considered a defeat, but it is said that when Zheng He went to sea for the seventh time, he died on the way back, and then the body did not know where it went.
Zheng He's corpse didn't come back, or was buried halfway, it is estimated that even Emperor Xuande at that time may not be able to know the truth, let alone our descendants, these current Zheng He tombs, at most, there are only clothes or other things, there is no Zheng He's corpse at all, this is not a mausoleum at all, at most it is a monument.
But where is his body? Where did he die? These things are all mysteries, what history is, no one knows today, those so-called scholars and experts, also based on the records of later generations, everyone has different opinions, almost each has its own version.
Most of the things that happened hundreds of years ago were made up by later generations, and it was impossible to solve this mystery unless it traveled through time and space and returned to the Ming Dynasty at that time, but this is simply impossible.
"Jenny, you said that this underground palace, could it be your ancestor Zheng He?" I asked, turning my head to look at her and squinting my eyes.
"My ancestor Zheng He? Don't be kidding, how is this possible. Jenny sneered and immediately vetoed it.
"Why can't it be?" I told her a brief of what I had just thought.
Jenny's face was ugly, and she kept shaking her head and said, "Although what you said is very reasonable, I still don't believe it, I just don't believe it." ”
"Then are you Zheng He's descendant?" I asked, looking closer into her eyes.
"Nonsense, I'm not, are you?" Jenny rolled her eyes and glared at me, clearly reluctant.
"Okay, okay, just when I say the wrong thing, but if it weren't for Zheng He's mausoleum, who else would it be?"
I really can't figure it out, which eunuch can have such strength, although Jenny said that she didn't believe it on the surface, but this trip to sea, she was holding the so-called navigation chart left by Zheng He, these things, can they have nothing to do with him at all? It's impossible, it's inextricably linked, and there will always be a little involved.
"You say... Could it be that someone came in and took the body away? Jenny asked, blinking at me.
I pondered for a moment and said, "Probably not, this stone gate was intact before, I blew a hole with a grenade, if someone had come in, the stone gate would not have been so intact." ”
"There may be other entrances to this place besides this stone gate, you think, we fell from the bridge and discovered this place by accident, if there was no other entrance, who would have thought that there would be a tomb here?"
Jenny's words make a lot of sense, if we hadn't fallen off the bridge, we wouldn't have found this place at all, and her words also reminded me that it is impossible for this grave builder not to leave a way out for himself.
If there was only one stone gate, wouldn't all the tomb builders have to die here to be buried, and from this point of analysis, there should be other places to go in and out here.
I reached out and patted Jenny and said, "Well, let's look around and see if we can find another exit, and even if we can't find it, we can find some other information." ”
"Okay, let's go here and check it out, we've seen it before." Jenny gestured to the space behind the coffin, the only one that hadn't been inspected so far.
"Well, follow me down the steps, don't be careless." Thinking of what happened just now, I was still terrified, this hellish place is full of dangers.
I started in front of me, step by step down the steps, Jenny followed behind me, and with every step, I was extra careful, and when my feet hit the ground, I listened intently, for fear of hitting some mechanism.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with this road, and I walked down smoothly, I stopped first, and shone around with a flashlight, although there was also a blue fire here, but after all, the fire was too dark, and many corners were still pitch black.
So we have to come down to confirm whether there are anything around that can threaten our lives, and stand here to see all the situation in the dungeon behind us, in fact, this place is not small, almost as big as the dungeon in front of the coffin.
In this way, the circular staircase is built in the middle of the underground palace, and the position of the coffin is even more accurate, in the middle of the circular steps, this placement is really in place, which can reflect the prominent status of the owner of the coffin, at least not the ordinary eunuch can have.
After looking around, I didn't find anything strange, Jenny and I looked at each other, and she nodded to me, meaning that we could continue walking, "Zhongyi, let's go separately, this will also save some time." ”
"No, what if there is danger, it's all up to this, now we are not in a hurry, if something really happens, it will be troublesome?" I don't quite agree with her, whether I can go out now is a matter of words, who cares about this time, now for me, there is enough time, nothing else.
"It's really fine"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you don't have a flashlight in your hand, just follow me, now it's just you and me left here, and you can't make any mistakes."
I said earnestly, Jenny and I are currently dependent on each other, if something happens to Jenny, I will be left alone in this hellish place, even if I can't die, then I will have to go crazy.
Jenny was very obedient this time, "Okay, just listen to you." ”
"Let's go."
I reached out and grabbed her wrist, and she didn't resist, but I still pulled her forward, the flashlight was shooting back and forth in all directions, there was nothing around, almost the same as before, only some very simple funerary goods, all very ordinary porcelain, not to mention any gold and silver jewelry, not even a fine silk could be seen.
I picked up a porcelain vase and looked at it and said, "I don't know if this thing is good or bad, I can see which dynasty it belongs to, can you see it?" ”
Jenny took it and looked at it and said, "I don't understand it either, but this vase looks pretty good." ”
"If the eighth child is here, at least I can check which emperor the eunuch of this tomb owner belongs to." I put down what I was holding and continued to look around.
"Even if you find out who the emperor is, it's useless, this coffin is empty, and you can't find out who this eunuch is at all." As she spoke, Jenny walked past me and walked forward.
"Hey, what are you doing, be careful." This girl, I'm not at ease at any time, it's so awkward to follow me.
"It's okay loyalty, I'll go to the front and have a look." Jenny walked to the innermost stone wall, I didn't know what she was looking at, I continued to observe around, overall, this underground palace was built quite well, it was not easy to build a tomb of this size in a big mountain.
The most important thing is that I didn't feel very cold in it, on the contrary, it was very mild, which was very different from the situation in the shipwreck, which I didn't expect, I always thought that this kind of place to bury the dead was relatively cold, maybe because there were no bodies here.
I walked along the stone wall, thinking about these things in my head, hoping to link them all together so that I could find out what the problem was.
Just as I was thinking, Jenny suddenly called out to me, "Zhongyi, come and have a look." ”
I didn't know what was wrong with Jenny, and I didn't have time to ask more, so I quickly ran over with an arrow step, "Jenny, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? "I stepped forward and pulled Jenny over, I was afraid she was in danger.
Jenny walked out from behind me and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, look at this." She casually pointed to the stone wall.
I turned my head to look, and was shocked, on the top of this stone wall, there is actually a painting, this painting is very large, can be nearly two meters high, through the blue firelight I saw, this painting is actually a person, according to the proportion of this painting, the person in this painting, should be the same as the real ** small.
I hurriedly shone the flashlight over and took a closer look, this is a man's painting, which is made with ancient Chinese painting techniques, which is still relatively easy to distinguish, the paintings of the ancients are very different from the paintings of modern people today.
