Chapter 128: Pathos...... (1st Update)
Chu Yuan could naturally see it, standing at the entrance of the tomb, Chu Yuan looked at the coffin in front of him with heavy eyes and awe, but he only expressed his respect with his eyes, and did not deliberately approach to pay respect.
"Let's go, close the tomb!" Chu Yuan turned around and stepped out of the tomb lightly, his handsome and extraordinary face was cold, and the aura around him was condensed, exuding a domineering imperial aura arrogantly.
"Yes!" The person guarding the imperial mausoleum responded respectfully, and after Chu Yuan walked out of the tomb, he came to the stone wall outside the tomb, where there was a switch in the shape of a dragon head. The mausoleum keeper did not close the switch directly, but knelt reverently on the ground, bowed deeply to the coffin outside the tomb, and then got up to close the tomb.
This kneeling was not done by one person guarding the imperial mausoleum, when he knelt in front of the tomb, all the people who came with Chu Yuan knelt and kowtowed devoutly. After the person guarding the imperial tomb turned off the switch of the tomb and waited for the heavy and stocky stone door to slowly close, the group of people kneeling on the ground behind them got up.
At this time, Xiao Chengmo followed Chu Yuan's footsteps towards another passage, as the king of the next king, there was no need to visit the ancestors of the Chu State. However, Xiao Chengmo also had a reverent and pious heart, although he did not make a big salute, but when Xiao Chengmo turned around, he still bowed slightly to the coffin.
Soon, the sound of stamping sounded behind the passage where Xiao Chengmo and Chu Yuan were walking, and it was the person who had just followed him who hurried up. At this time, with Chu Yuan leading the way, they were in the underground palace, and the passages around them were all made of thick stones that exuded an icy aura.
The mausoleum of Taizu and the mausoleum of the former emperor were not far apart, and after a while, another huge and majestic and cold mausoleum appeared in front of him. In the mausoleum, you can see many precious burial things, rare and exotic beasts, countless precious utensils, and there are crossbow arrows and hidden weapons on the door of the underground palace to prevent someone from stealing and digging. The top of the tomb is painted with images of astronomical stars, and the ground is a terrain that simulates the mountains of Kyushu, and this mausoleum looks really luxurious and domineering.
Compared with the mausoleum of the first emperor and their ancestors, it is really much more luxurious, but this can also be understood, the first emperor created the peaceful and prosperous Chu State, and treated Chu Yuan very kindly, and the funeral ceremony after the death of the first emperor was handled by Chu Yuan, and the standard treatment was naturally different.
The stone door of the tomb was opened by a special person, and when the guards guarding outside the tomb saw Chu Yuan and his party coming, they all held weapons in their hands, knelt on one knee, and saluted Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan didn't stop, and walked directly into the tomb, at this time there were only two people guarding the tomb in the tomb, and the other person was Prince An. The people who followed Prince An had already been arranged to wait in other places, and the only people who could enter the Imperial Tomb were Prince An.
Chu Yuan kept stepping directly into the tomb, and Xiao Chengmo also approached after thinking for a moment. Chu Yuan noticed that Xiao Chengmo followed the footsteps that walked in, leaned back slightly, glanced at Xiao Chengmo's figure, and continued to walk forward without saying anything.
There is no burning candlelight in the tomb of the emperor, the light emitted from the two rows of stone lampstands is all huge night pearls, and on the walls of the tomb, each dark compartment is also a night pearl, and on the stone wall in front of the emperor's coffin, there is a real dragon pattern cast by gold, and the pattern is tiled with round night pearls, as well as dazzling gems.
Chu Yuan paused slightly when he walked onto the stone platform where the coffin was placed, and then raised his feet and walked up slowly. Facing the coffin of the first emperor, Chu Yuan's heart was really complicated, leaving aside the figure of Prince An standing aside, Chu Yuan lifted the hem of his robe, knelt respectfully, and solemnly kowtowed deeply.
"Your Majesty......" Prince An had already discovered Chu Yuan's arrival, and when Chu Yuan came to the coffin, Prince An took a step back and left the position on the front to Chu Yuan.
Prince An faced Chu Yuan, just bowed his body slightly, and it was considered a salute, Prince An's behavior made Chu Yuan and Xiao Chengmo have something to worry about, they knew that Prince An was not a person who did not know etiquette, and it was not so easy to meet the emperor.
For this reason, Xiao Chengmo deliberately glanced at Prince An, and saw that Prince An's resolute and tough face became extraordinarily deep, and there seemed to be a touch of gloom, sadness, and resentment in his eyes......
Xiao Chengmo was a little puzzled by Prince An's eye emotion, but seeing Prince An in such a state, his mood also became heavy, like a mausoleum in this dark night, shrouded in a layer of darkness with no top in sight.
"Prince An......" Chu Yuan muttered Prince An in a deep voice, Prince An's behavior was undoubtedly rude in his opinion, and he could even think that by now, Prince An had no pretending to be respectful to him.
"Your Majesty, the minister just wants to come here to have a look, the minister ......" Prince An could feel Chu Yuan's dark and unhappy mood, but he didn't care very much, he knew that he had offended Chu Yuan by Fang Cai's actions, but he could only do that, his self-esteem did not allow him to kneel in front of the first emperor's son.
Prince An's expression was gloomy, he raised his eyes and quietly looked at the cold coffin in front of him, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Yuan's sharp voice.
"Do you still know that you are a courtier? Prince An, since you call yourself a courtier, do you remember what the duty of a courtier is? This imperial mausoleum, do you want to come here! Chu Yuan's voice was cold, with a cold and gloomy aura, his eyes were sharp, he looked at Prince An very much, and said unceremoniously.
"Minister, I know that I have exceeded the duty of the minister!" Prince An bowed his head, ashamed of this meaning in his words, but the next moment, Prince An raised his head suddenly, looked at the coffin of the emperor with a paranoid and earnest look, and said in a stubborn and helpless voice: "It's just that I have to come to this imperial tomb!" ”
Prince An's self-word was not for Chu Yuan, but for the former emperor who was lying quietly in the coffin, exuding a cold aura.
I have to come to this imperial mausoleum!
Because of these words, Xiao Chengmo glanced at Prince An very seriously, when he touched Prince An's eyes, and saw the deep despair and scorching emotions there, Xiao Chengmo's heart "Oh", as if something was a little clear in an instant.
When Chu Yuan heard Prince An say this, he squinted his eyes a little heavily, and after looking at Prince An sideways, he put his eyes on the coffin of the emperor in front of him, and stared deeply for a long time.
There will be two more later!
