Chapter 526: The City of Imperial Tombs

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew what the team member meant by the city before.

The space behind the second tomb door was so vast that the boundary could not be seen at all, and the bright flashlight beams in everyone's hands were engulfed by the darkness in the distance. In the distance, directly in front of the group, a faint green light emanated from the top of a large underground space.

Looking closely, these green lights are faint light curtains composed of light green light points of different sizes, although the brightness of each light point is not very bright, but countless light points gathered together also play a certain role in lighting.

Beneath that pale green curtain of light, a majestic ancient city stood. The tall walls are visible at a glance, the battlements on the walls are clearly visible, the sides of the walls are all hidden in the darkness, and behind the walls are the antique buildings that stretch into the distance.

These buildings vary in form, ranging from tall to low with four or five storeys of terraces, to low houses, to palaces and towers. All the buildings are in the ancient style, and even if you can't see the details because you are too far away, the overall feeling of the castle is still unusually grand and exquisite.

This kind of imagery that can only be seen in games or movies really appears in front of everyone's eyes. Looking at this large area of ancient city, Chen Ziyang was stunned and motionless, and it took him a long time before he recovered from the shock.

Now he finally knew why the previous team members didn't even say a word after entering here, not that they were in danger, but that they were just as stunned by the scene in front of them as he was, and they didn't even think of reporting to the team behind them.

"Is that city real? Could it be some kind of mirage? I don't know who said such a thing in surprise.

"Silly boy, how could a mirage appear here, this is really an underground city, a city of mausoleums.

I have long heard that the underground palace of Qianling is built according to the pattern of Chang'an City, and every brick and tile in it is exactly the same as Chang'an City.

Moreover, the Qianling Tomb has not been excavated, and no one has really seen what the underground palace complex looks like. Now it seems that it may be true. The underground palace group below Qianling should be what we look like in front of us, or it may not be comparable to here at all.

To be able to see this architectural miracle in human history with my own eyes, I have not lived in vain in my life, I have not lived in vain, it is worth it, everything is worth it. Zhang Linfu looked at the strange scene in front of him and kept marveling.

After a long day's work, the talents in the team came back to their senses one by one. Liu Cong carefully observed the section of the city wall closest to the team. This section of the city wall is magnificent, and from a distance, it can be vaguely seen that there seems to be a city gate in the middle of the city wall, so he organized the team and asked everyone to walk towards the city gate.

The road from the second tomb gate to the city gate was even longer than the tomb road that everyone had walked, and it was not until they reached the bottom of the city that everyone realized that it was even more magnificent than they had imagined and seen.

The walls are more than 20 meters high, as high as five or six story buildings, and the width of the gate, which looks like a soybean from a distance, is nearly 30 meters.

The city gate is also open, the two city gates are all inlaid with copper rivets, and there are two huge ring lion heads are embellished on the left and right of the door crack, the doorknob of the two ring lion heads is a large copper plate with a diameter of more than one meter, and the height from the ground is also four or five meters, standing on the ground can not be touched at all, obviously not used to open the city gate, but only used for decoration.

Not far from one side of the city gate, there is a towering stone monument, seven or eight meters wide, more than thirty meters high, a large piece higher than the tall city wall.

There is a huge square stone seat below the stele, and a stone dragon and a stone phoenix are carved as decorations on the high part of the stele, and the stone dragon and the stone phoenix are each coiled into a semicircle, and the two semicircles are butted together to become a disc, which is inlaid at the very top of the tombstone.

Although the carved lines are relatively simple, the dragon and the phoenix are carved vividly, and the dragon head and the phoenix head are tightly docked together, which looks so simple and atmospheric. However, there is no writing on the front of this stele.

Because the direction of the city gate was unknown, everyone took this tall stone monument as the first place to start. After spending more than a minute and circumnavigating around the square pedestal where the stele stands, everyone noticed that not only the front of the stele, but even the back and sides of the stele did not have any carved patterns or words.

"Stinky boy, what do you think?" After circling around the stele, Zhang Linfu stared at the stele and asked Chen Ziyang beside him thoughtfully.

"I do have an idea, but I don't think it's likely."

"I'll know when you say that, you should think the same way I just thought."

"If that's the case, this place is even more remarkable."

The conversation between Chen Ziyang and Zhang Linfu made the other people stunned, and they didn't know what these two people were talking about, only Guo Huaxing, who was standing on the side, nodded, obviously understood, and recognized what the two people said.

"Er Yang, why did you kid start playing dumb riddles now? What the hell is going on, can you tell us about it? Such a magnificent complex naturally aroused everyone's curiosity, and Yang Lei on the side was even more impatient.

"If my guess with Zhang Zhenren is not wrong, this mausoleum should be Wu Zetian, or rather, it is the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum that was built for Wu Zetian before, but was later abandoned."

"What! How is this possible? Wasn't Wu Zetian buried in Qianling? Why is there a mausoleum here? The questions Yang Lei asked were also what other people wanted to ask, which was also too incredible.

"The basis for our judgment is this stone tablet. There is such a wordless tablet in Qianling, it is said that Wu Zetian ordered people to build, the reason why there is no word on the stone tablet is that it means to say that it is his own merits and demerits, and it is left for future generations to comment, how the female emperor of Wu Zetian should be, judged by future generations.

However, the height of the wordless stele standing in the Qianling Tomb is only seven or eight meters, and the width is only more than two meters. ”

"Yes, only the Tang Dynasty in the Wu Zetian period has the ability to build such a large-scale underground mausoleum." Hearing that Chen Ziyang's thoughts were really the same as his own, Zhang Linfu said with certainty.

"It seems a bit too much to make such a judgment just on the basis of a wordless tablet. As far as I know, there are not a few wordless monuments in this world, maybe this is someone else's mausoleum. Jada said in a weird way.

Hearing what Jada said and his weird tone, Chen Ziyang hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, why is this Jada so annoying? It's like a fly that never kills is buzzing in your ears all the time.

"What my master said also has some truth, just a stone tablet seems to be insufficient for the following conclusions, does Daochang Chen have any other high opinions." Seeing that Chen Ziyang's face sank after listening to Jada's words, Xu Xiaoyuan hurriedly stood up to play a round.

Since he found out the reclining Buddha sucking the hole alone, Chen Ziyang's status in the minds of Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing has obviously changed, and the rest of the team is more convinced of him.

Now that the people in the team are obviously on Chen Ziyang's side, if Jia Da is so maverick and sets up an enemy for himself, it is very likely that he will be angry and squeezed out by everyone, which is what Xu Xiaoyuan is most worried about.

And what made her feel most depressed was that her master Jia Da didn't find out this, but was still relying on her identity to bully her juniors, looking down on this foreign boy, obviously angry about the previous things, she couldn't let go at all, and she had to find an opportunity to suppress Chen Ziyang.

Chen Ziyang, who was about to have a seizure just now and was about to scold Jada again, saw what Xu Xiaoyuan meant. In the face of Liu Cong and his fifth grandfather, he didn't want to get too stiff with Jada, but he couldn't help but deceive this Jada too much.

However, recalling Xu Xiaoyuan's words to persuade him before, considering the overall situation, he still endured this breath, and said to Xu Xiaoyuan:

"This acupoint is called the reclining Buddha sucking dew, and its meaning is that it is contained in the mouth of the Buddha like dew. There is a small requirement to be buried in such a cave, that is, if the reclining Buddha shows a woman's face, it must be a woman who is buried here, and vice versa.

You've all seen it before, but the mountains above this cave vividly outline the shape of a woman's face, so it must be a woman who can be buried here.

The reclining Buddha sucking dew is a very rare treasure cave, coupled with the fact that the mouth of this reclining Buddha does not overflow the spring, and the left and right green dragons gather the essence of the sun and the moon, which can reveal the same image of the sun and the moon and the same day.

The construction style of the entire tomb is obviously from the Tang Dynasty, except for Wu Zetian, I really can't imagine any other woman who has the ability to build such a mausoleum, and which woman is qualified to be buried in such a place, maybe Master Jia Dajia has something else to say. ”

"Humph!" I don't know if it's because what Chen Ziyang said is reasonable, or because he saw what his apprentice meant, and listened to his apprentice's advice, this time Jada just snorted coldly and didn't start arguing with Chen Ziyang again.

"I'll be obedient, Wu Zetian ......" Yang Lei's eyes lit up after wiping his saliva.

Seeing his virtue, Chen Ziyang knew that this kid was greedy again, thinking about the treasures in the mausoleum. But it's a pity that this mausoleum is abandoned, otherwise the treasures for Wu Zetian's burial will definitely pile up, each of which should be priceless, and the total value of the treasures together is immeasurable, and it is trivial to say that it is a rich country.

"Okay, everyone, whether this mausoleum is Wu Zetian or not, whether it's real or fake, let's not get too entangled, waste time here in vain, let's think about how to enter through the city gate first." In order to avoid the intensification of the contradictions in the team, Liu Cong hurriedly said.

Liu Cong's words reminded everyone that everyone looked left and right, and found that there was no other entrance on the endless city wall, and it seemed that if they wanted to enter this underground city, they had to go through this gate in front of everyone.

"This city is beyond our cognition, and there is no experience to learn from at all, so we can only take one step at a time and move forward cautiously.

Everyone be careful, search for ways to open the city gate, Wu Zetian's mausoleum is not a joke, even if it is abandoned, it will be dangerous. ”

At this time, one of the team members couldn't hold back the eagerness in his heart and came to the crack in the city gate. The team member started to move after hearing Liu Cong say that he was looking for a way to open the city gate, but he didn't pay attention to Liu Cong's words behind him, and he also paid the price for his carelessness.

With one hand pressing a fist-sized rivet, the team member applied force on either side of the crack in the door, trying to push open the huge city gate.

How could he push through such a heavy gate alone? It wasn't so much that the team member was trying to open the gates, but that he wanted to touch the gates of the city of mausoleums.

After a push, the gate did not move, but there was a strange sound above the gate. The sound of iron and stone clashing echoed above everyone's heads, as well as the sound of heavy chains being pulled.

"It's not good, get out of the way!" Before Liu Cong's words landed, pitch-black holes appeared on the countless rivets on the entire city gate in an instant, as if these rivets opened their eyes at the same time.

"Whoosh......" crossbow arrows like steel nails kept shooting out of these holes, although these crossbow arrows similar to steel nails were very small, but the force of the shot was very large.

The two crossbow arrows instantly pierced the back of the player's hand, and the force of the crossbow arrows after the penetration still did not decrease, piercing the shoulders on both sides of the team member.

After these two crossbow arrows, seven or eight more crossbow arrows shot out of the rivets that the team member held with both hands, and instantly shot the team member's hands to pieces, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

At the same time, crossbow bolts shot from other holes filled the team's chest. Without even a snort, the team member fell backwards.

The crossbow arrows fired by the rivets in the high places were downward, and the crossbow arrows shot by the rivets in the lower places were straight, and all these rivets were like machine guns, sealing the open space in front of the tomb door, and the crossbow arrows were shot here without dead ends.

Another member of the team standing in this area also suffered, and was instantly shot into a hedgehog by a large number of crossbow arrows.
