Chapter 145: I'm not here to rob the tomb
Minghyun hadn't gone far yet, he was soon chased back, and when he learned of Ye Qinglin's inference, he was also suddenly opened, and he praised Ye Qinglin for thinking meticulously, and the two gathered people overnight and went out of the city.
To do this kind of thing, you have to keep it secret, the tomb of the ancestors cannot be opened easily, everyone has already entered the soil for peace, and it is already a great rebellion to disturb the ancestors' eternal sleep, if it were not for the great importance of the secret recipe of the first emperor, Ye Qinglin would not have made up his mind.
The distance was not far, a few miles out of the city, and there was a very familiar small smoky mountain.
Ziyu's grass garden is also on the small smoky mountain, but there is still some distance, the Qinghe princess mausoleum needs to go over the mountain to the foot of the mountain on the other side, there is a paradise-like place, green mountains and green waters, clouds and mist, is the place where the Qinghe princess took a fancy to the immortal cultivation before her death.
Ye Qinglin and Minghyun led a team of people and horses to quietly approach the small smoke mountain, not going up the mountain on the road from the grass garden, but directly turning over the back of the mountain from another trail.
After going out of the city, they marched all the way in the dark, and when they crossed the mountain, they lit the torches and crossed a small river, and a group of people came to the mausoleum of Princess Qinghe wetly.
Although Princess Qinghe is married to the common people, her identity is still noble, this is inherited from the grace of the first emperor, and after her death, the mausoleum is also buried according to the specifications of the prince.
Ye Qinglin has been here a lot, and when he was a child, he came to the mansion once a year to pay respects, and he couldn't rush back to worship until he was an adult, when he often went out and was not in Ningyang City.
A section of stone steps, layer by layer, above is a wide stone platform, on both sides of the stone lions stand, go inside about a hundred zhang, only to come to the huge stone monument that is higher than the head of the person, and around, is bluestone piled up, if the grave is excavated, I don't know when it will be dug up.
"How to dig? It's all made of heavy bluestone! "Myeonghyun even sweated down, not to mention that it's night now, even if it's a blue sky and a white day, you have to dig for ten days and eight days, right?
Ye Qinglin didn't speak, only nodded slightly towards Minghyun, and let his subordinates spread out around to illuminate, he walked over to the tombstone, he didn't know what he was groping.
Ye Qinglin fumbled for a long time, and walked behind the tombstone, only then did Myeonghyun know that the tombstone was actually erected independently, not embedded in the stone wall.
"I haven't found it before, it seems to be a stone gate." Ye Qinglin touched the stone wall behind the tombstone and said.
"You want to break the stone door?" Myeonghyun raised his hand and knocked on it, the sound was very solid, almost similar to the sound of the ground knocking down, if this was broken, the mountain would reverberate very loudly, I was afraid that there would be some movement, if it was not good for people to hear.
"No, look at the top, there are four corners, this is a stone door designed according to the gossip feng shui, if my inference is right, there must be a switch that can open the door, but I don't know if there will be a dark pass, you go farther." Ye Qinglin pushed Myeonghyun out of front of the stone stele.
Myeonghyun thinks it is reasonable, such a huge princess mausoleum, without a mechanism, wouldn't it have been stolen by people a long time ago?
"You come back too, let them go first, they are all wearing soft armor." Myeonghyun called a few people over and dragged Ye Qinglin back.
"It's okay, I'm also wearing soft armor, and if there are really hidden arrows, I can't shoot through them." Ye Qinglin walked back again, and groped around behind the tombstone with a few of his subordinates.
After a long time, Minghyun waited outside a little anxiously, and then looked behind the stone monument, only to see Ye Qinglin holding a torch close to the stone wall and looking very carefully.
So you can see the door open?
Myeonghyun was about to go in, when he heard one of his subordinates suddenly shout: "Childe, get out of the way!" ”
"Whoosh" a few times, and sure enough, iron arrows flew out from both sides, if it wasn't for the timely shouting of his subordinates, Ye Qinglin flashed out, and he might really be injured.
"How did you get the Iron Arrow?" Ye Qinglin asked the shouting subordinate.
"I just touched a loose stone from below." The iron arrow was only shot once, and it was gone, and his subordinates led Ye Qinglin to see the place that he had just touched.
There was really a palm-sized stone, it was pressed down, Ye Qinglin seemed to think of something, looked at the entire stone wall along the stone, and finally nodded: "There are eight stones here that are different from the stone wall, I think it is the entrance of the gossip, the gossip is mutually restrictive, if you touch the mechanism of the mutual restraint, there will be a hidden arrow, don't touch it first, let me think about it." ”
"So profound? But it's hard to be a brother, this metaphysics has not been carefully studied, and now it can't be filled with human life! Myeonghyun was in a cold sweat, he was born in a royal family, but he didn't know that there was such a profound knowledge here.
Ye Qinglin asked all his subordinates to withdraw from the stone stele, lit the high incense brought from the mansion by three sticks, and then kowtowed and bowed, making his intention clear to his grandmother and grandfather, saying that it was really a last resort for He Minghyun to disturb their sleep today.
After doing this, he got up, took the torch from his subordinates, and after going to the stone stele, he read in his mouth: "Dry man and Kun girl, grandmother is the life of water, Kan hexagram, Brother Ming come here, you hold down the Kun hexagram." Ye Qinglin said.
Minghyun found the location that Ye Qinglin was pointing to, Ye Qinglin went to the other side, put his hand on the hexagram and said, "Ready, if I shout three, you will press down, one, two, three!" ”
The two pressed down at the same time, there was no dark arrow, the stone wall really began to shake, the heavy stone door, the piercing sound of the stone grinding, slowly opened to both sides, the two doors separated are not straight lines, but regular bending, if they are closed, it is the shape of two yin and yang fish, it is really gossip, with the opening of the stone door, an ancient breath that seems to have been sealed for a long time, rushing to the face, that moment, people dream back to the ancients.
Princess Qinghe has only been dead for decades, and such an ancient atmosphere is probably due to the fact that the tomb is well closed, if so, the contents must be well preserved.
Ye Qinglin and Myeonghyun glanced at each other, and a slight smile appeared on both of their faces, and they succeeded!
Originally, I thought that I would be able to see the coffin when I went in, but when I entered, I realized that there was a long tomb road, and my subordinates explored the road first, so as not to have a dark arrow like outside the door, and after walking the entire tomb road, there was no mechanism, so I was relieved to let Ye Qinglin and Minghyun pass.
Where the fire in front can shine, there is a circular underground palace with a width of about half an acre, surrounded by more than a dozen small tombs, and on the floating platform in the innermost part of the underground palace, there are two stone coffins, which should be the coffins of Ye Qinglin's grandfather and grandmother.
Ye Qinglin lit incense again, asked everyone to kneel and kowtow, and then started to move.
They came to find burial goods, and they didn't need to open the coffin of their ancestors, but just look in the small tombs around them to see which tomb was the object of Princess Qinghe.
"I didn't expect that the mausoleum of Princess Qinghe was still such a big underground palace, and it should have been built for a long time." Myeonghyun sighed.
"I don't know about this, if you want to talk about construction, it was also built by my grandmother when she was alive, and I was not born at that time!" Ye Qinglin looked for something and said casually.
The two entered a burial chamber, which was filled with some bottles and jars, Nanmu boxes, and the like, and turned them all out and looked at them, as if there were no books stacked in this room, and then went to the next one, in order to speed up the search, the men separated each small burial chamber, and told them to be lighter, not to turn over bad things.
They are not tomb robbers, they just came to ask the ancestors for something, if they make this place bad, I am afraid that the ancestors will blame it.
Ye Qinglin secretly said that his inference was right, his grandmother's things were really not so little, and the little thing in the house was not even a fraction, and there were more than a dozen small tombs here, all of which were grandmother and grandfather's belongings, everything, painted terracotta figurines, gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade, silk brocade, and a box of swords, which should be Ye Qinglin's grandfather's things.
The sound of "boom" came from the burial chamber next door.
Ye Qinglin was taken aback, this must be those subordinates who were not light or heavy, and broke things.
When I walked over and saw that this was indeed the case, several of my subordinates were standing there dumbfounded, at a loss, and on the ground was a broken porcelain vase.
Seeing Ye Qinglin coming, several of his subordinates hurriedly trembled and bowed their hands, and asked the son to punish him, Ye Qinglin didn't say anything, after all, this rummaged up, no one could prevent anything from falling before and after, just be careful, don't break things again, turned around and went out to go to the next tomb, and took a big object inside from the corner of his eye, which seemed to be a box, and turned back, only to find out that it was not a box, but a coffin, and the few people under him blocked most of the coffin, Ye Qinglin only saw one.
How could there be a coffin here?
Ye Qinglin felt that it might be used to hold items, so he asked a few of his men to open it to see, it was actually nailed? Several people worked together to knock the coffin open, and when they got closer, they saw that it was not a funeral object, but it could also be said to be a funeral object, because it was a person inside, about a person who accompanied the burial, not an item.
It is not surprising that his grandmother was a princess, and it was common for one or two slaves and maids to accompany the funeral, and when they went to heaven, they also wanted to be served.
Ye Qinglin asked people to nail the coffin back, not to disturb the undead, and bowed to him, indicating that he had no intention of offending.
After searching for a long time, I found a burial chamber where books were stacked, and it turned out that this thing was also carefully placed and had been sorted and divided.
There are books, calligraphy and paintings, and even bamboo slips here, and it stands to reason that if the holy decree is still there, it must be placed in this room, and if this room is not found, about the entire underground palace will not be found again.
Called everyone to the tomb and rummaged through it together, and sure enough, they found the holy decree of Ye Qinglin's grandfather, which was very old, and although the holy decree was a little old, it was still intact and undamaged.
Ye Qinglin and Minghyun opened the holy decree, flipped it over, and opened the scroll, wanting to see if there was a secret recipe written by the first emperor in this holy decree, but there was no other handwriting except for the decree, perhaps, the first emperor did not write the secret recipe on this holy decree.
I had to ask my subordinates to turn it over again and find it from books and letters.
Ye Qinglin sighed, and was busy, there are so many books, and he has never seen the secret recipe, when will he find this?
Suddenly, I heard Myeonghyun shouting: "Brother Luo, come and see!" ”
Ye Qinglin walked over, Minghyun still held the holy decree, and asked him to see the content of the decree.
On closer inspection, he found something unusual about this decree, and I wonder if his grandmother and grandfather noticed it back then.
