Chapter 236, Zheng He's Mausoleum
The innermost space is a little narrower, and there are no special items around the sides, only some ancient weapons, which are very ordinary, all of which are some of the most common swords, guns, and sticks, and there are no swords and swords or anything like that.
When we were about to go to the innermost, I vaguely seemed to see a painting on the stone wall again, it was a very large painting, Jenny and I looked at each other, and the two of us quickly ran over, "You two slow down, what's the hurry." Mai Lao shouted from behind.
The two of us ignored him, ran all the way forward, and when we got to the front, we saw that there was really a painting hanging on the stone wall, which was a painting more than two meters high, and it was still a portrait of a man.
"Oh my God, another portrait?" Jenny looked at me in surprise.
"Yes, it seems that there must be such a portrait in every underground palace, and the person in this painting must be the tomb owner of this mountain." I looked up at the portrait in front of me and said.
At this time, Mai Lao and the others also rushed over, and everyone praised the painting presented in front of them, and the man in this painting was still lifelike and vivid, just like a living person.
The man in this portrait looks very powerful, if this painting is also painted according to the size of the real person, then the man in this painting is too tall, he must be at least about two meters.
This man's face is slightly longer, but it is angular, with a very tall nose, thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes depicted are also bright, but the most important thing is that his eyes are actually amber, which is really quite rare, at least not in the first two portraits.
He wore an official hat from the Ming Dynasty on his head, wearing a blue python robe, the golden dragon python, entrenched on the entire python robe, he looked ahead with his head held high, holding a sword in his left hand, and his right hand was naturally behind his back.
At the bottom of the right side of the painting, there is still a line of writing, but I don't know exactly what it is, only that this is the Persian script that Jenny said before, because this font is the same as the font on the big tombstone before.
Chang Shan looked at the man in the painting and said quietly, "This person is actually a man with colored eyes." ”
"Lustful people? What do you mean? I didn't understand, and turned my head to look at him.
"It was a name for foreigners in the Mongol Empire at that time, when the Mongols were ambitious and invaded everywhere, and when they ruled the Central Plains, they used people from some small surrounding countries to manage the Han people, and the status of the Han people at that time was also the most humble."
"Because the color of the eyes is different from that of the Han and Mongolians, it is called the Semu Man, and the eyes of the man in the painting are closer to yellow, which seems to be intentionally painted, so it is obvious that he is the Semu Man." Chang Shan stretched out his hand and pointed to the portrait on the stone wall and said.
"And who could this person be?" I said it to myself.
"If I'm not wrong, the man in this painting should be Zheng He." Jiao Ba said very calmly.
But as soon as he finished saying this, the big guys were all stunned, and Jenny was the first to speak, "Jiao Ba, don't talk about it, how do you know that the man in this painting must be Zheng He." Speaking of her ancestors, she was a little unhappy.
"It's very simple, all kinds of signs show that the man in this painting is Zheng He, let's not talk about this painting, let's just talk about the building of this underground palace, from the first layer, what is painted on the stone wall is the footprints left by Zheng He when he sailed."
"And the second underground palace is the stone statue of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, everyone has experienced it, and it almost cost us our lives, those military generals are the guardians of this last underground palace, and the purpose is to prevent anyone from entering Zheng He's mausoleum."
"Now this underground palace is even more obvious, two stone ships, plus this painting, isn't it the best proof? The stone boat is obviously built according to the ships that went to sea in the early Ming Dynasty, and the man in this painting, not to mention that he is wearing a python robe and holding a sword, just this painting, it should be completed according to the scale of a real person. ”
"The most important two points are that he is more than two meters tall, and he is also a Semu person, these two points are completely consistent with Zheng He, Zheng He in history, he is more than two meters tall, and he is still a Semu person."
"Besides, from the time we went to sea to the present, aren't the navigation charts we have used handed down by Zheng He, and the small island where we are now is also discovered by Zheng He in the early days."
"None of us know where Zheng He died back then, so according to the above analysis, I can say with certainty that this is Zheng He's mausoleum, that is, the destination of our second stop, and we have really found it." Jiao Ba said lukewarmly, but his tone did not allow anyone to object, of course, what he said was also very reasonable.
When Jiao Ba's words were finished, the big guy didn't react excessively, and no one said that Jiao Ba's words were outrageous, it seems that other people also recognized Jiao Ba's statement in their hearts, maybe they also doubted it, but because there was no evidence, there was no way to refute Jiao Ba for a while.
I took a deep breath and said, "I think Jiao Ba is right, this should be Zheng He's mausoleum, Jenny, remember what the old man said before, although he didn't say who the adult was, but you and I can understand, that is talking about Zheng He." ”
"And it's not just you and I who think so, Brother Changshan and Mai Lao, haven't they also thought so? And this small island, wasn't it discovered by Zheng He? If he dies and is buried here, there is nothing that cannot be said. ”
"Yes, yes, I don't know who his family is, but that old guy did say so." The big man fits my sentence.
"Hearing you say this, it seems to be the case, the old man did say this, combined with what Jiao Ba said just now, it really makes me have nothing to say." Jenny pursed her lips, acknowledging Jiao Ba's statement.
"I thought about it carefully just now, it's true, since Zhongyi said it, I also feel that the adult is Zheng He, but I haven't felt that now everything is in front of me, this is truth speaks louder than words, Jiao Bahe Zhongyi is right, presumably this is Zheng He's mausoleum." Mai Lao finally spoke, so much evidence has been laid out, there is no way to make people not believe it.
Chang Shan suddenly said at this time, "In fact, there is another point that can be proven, you see, in the lower right corner of this painting, it has been written very clearly." ”
"What's this about? Doesn't it seem like a kanji? Li Xin looked at him and asked.
"It's ancient Persian, Changshan, do you know Persian?" Jenny was a little surprised.
Chang Shan shook his head and said, "I only understand a little bit, I don't understand anything else, but what is written in the end, I know it, and the translation should be Ma and two words." ”
The big man grinned and said, "What? Horses and? Isn't it Zheng He? ”
"Ma He is Zheng He, it's the same." I said casually.
"So, Zheng He is really likely to be a descendant of the Persians?" Jiao Ba glanced at me.
"Maybe that's the case, this is a problem left over from history, we are about to open the coffin now, as long as the corpse inside is the same as the person in the painting, then it will definitely be fine." I said, glancing at the crowd.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go over and open the coffin now. The big man said with a whim.
I glanced at Mai Lao, after all, he belonged to the 'leader', "Let's go, it's time to open the coffin." Old man Mai shook it and said.
Our group returned to the bronze coffin, and Mai Lao said, "Jenny, Li Xin, Shunzi, Chang Shan, you guys stay away and go below, and the others stay and open the coffin with me." ”
Junzi was a little unhappy and said, "I don't agree, Mai Lao I want to stay, how can this kind of thing be less than me." ”
"Junzi, listen to Mai Lao, you and Brother Changshan take care of Jenny and the others, don't talk nonsense." I glared and said that he shouldn't be going to confront me.
Junko glared at me too, and although he didn't speak, I could tell that he was unhappy with me.
Chang Shan pulled him and said, "Junko, listen to loyalty, this is also for your good." In the end, Chang Shan pulled him away.
Jenny finally told us, "Be careful, everybody. ”
After a few of them went down, Mai Lao motioned for us to open the coffin, this copper coffin has no nails, it seems that the coffin lid is directly covered, the four of us support the coffin lid before and after, the copper coffin is cold to the touch, almost like an ice cube, and my palm is almost wooden.
Mai Lao saw that we were all ready, and then let out a low roar, "Open the coffin." ”
As soon as his words fell, the four of us began to exert force at the same time, and everyone held back their strength, this big copper coffin lid was too heavy, several times more than the previous shipwreck coffin.
This time we did not directly overturn the coffin lid to the ground, but first lifted it up, and then slowly put it on the ground, which is also a kind of respect for the deceased.
But when we opened the coffin lid, we found that the first thing in front of us was not a corpse, but a big red cloth, which directly covered the entire corpse from head to toe, without revealing a single outward, and the red cloth was spread out against the coffin, and we could only see a human figure in the red cloth.
"It's... What does that mean? I turned my head to look at Jiao Ba and asked.
Jiao Ba shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know very well, the corpse is covered with a red cloth, it's the first time I've seen it, have you seen it, Mai Lao?" ”
"I haven't even seen you, and it's impossible for me to see it, so what should be the purpose of looking at it like this?" Mai Lao said casually.
"How? Did you find anything? Jenny asked below.
"Don't move, stay down there." Jenny and the others were just about to leave, but they were stopped by Mai Lao.
This red cloth is really weird, even if it is covered on the body, it will not cover the head, none of the four of us dare to act rashly, look at each other, and can't make up our minds, after all, this is not a joke.
But in the end, the big man couldn't help it, "Damn it, isn't it just a red cloth?" As for it? Why do you all have this expression, I don't believe it can be. As soon as the big man finished speaking, he reached out and lifted the red cloth.
"Don't touch that cloth." Jiao Ba was about to stop him, but he was still a step too late, and the big man lifted the red cloth down, and it didn't matter if he opened it, a puff of black smoke suddenly came out of it
