Chapter 18 Entering the Imperial Tomb at Night
Everyone rushed back to the palace, and Xie Jing immediately asked to see the emperor and reported to the emperor Master Guangzhi's explanation of the Sanskrit characters in golden characters.
"So it seems that my father is seeking the method of immortality?" Emperor Hui said, "Is there anything special about Yunyang Mountain?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is said that if you want to ask for this method of immortality, you need an elixir as a guide, and the key to refining this elixir is to collect the undead." Xie Jing said, "And every one of these successfully refined pills should be hard to find in the world, and they are really precious." ”
"What accident did those guards encounter in the valley of Yunyang Mountain, and they were all destroyed? The emperor went to such great lengths to resurrect those guards? Xie Jing continued.
"What Lord Xie said is that I think there is something in the Yunyang Valley that we haven't discovered yet, and what can make my father and emperor let go of the people of the country to seek, I don't think it's as simple as immortality." Emperor Hui speculated, "The emperor's grandfather absolutely knew about this matter, but unfortunately, there is no way to ask the cause of the matter." ”
"Your Majesty, even if the Emperor Taishang is alive, it is estimated that it will be difficult to ask the truth." Xie Jing said, "The former emperor still doesn't know where he is because of this secret."
"That's why I have to seek the truth." Emperor Hui groaned, "You are like this, tomorrow I will arrange for me to meet that Tianzhu master." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Master Guangzhi is now in the Mida Temple at the foot of the mountain in the western suburbs, then I will ask Commander Liu to dispatch people to escort the emperor tomorrow."
"No, you secretly arranged for the master to enter the palace, avoid those eyes and ears outside, and come directly to me."
"Yes, Weichen will arrange it." Xie Jing said goodbye to Emperor Hui and left in a hurry.
Following.
Xie Jing took Liu Yingming to Mituo Temple and quietly invited Guangzhi to the palace.
"Master, the friend that the student mentioned the day before yesterday is actually the Son of Heaven today, and there are still some places where the emperor needs to ask you for advice in person about the golden Sanskrit."
Guangzhi has traveled around a lot of places in his life, but he doesn't care, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, thanks to Your Majesty's love, the poor monk should know everything!" ”
Xie Jing introduced Guangzhi into Chengqian Palace, and Emperor Hui had been waiting in the palace for a long time.
"Poor monk Tianzhu Guangzhi, participate in Your Majesty!" Guangzhi folded his hands and looked calm.
"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Emperor Hui said, "Master Guangzhi, I invite you to come today, mainly because I don't understand some things, and I also ask the master to teach you a thing or two." ”
Guangzhi bowed his head, "Your Majesty, please speak!" ”
Emperor Hui ordered someone to hand over a parchment scroll on the table, which was a rubbing, to Guangzhi. "Master Guangzhi, the Sanskrit text that Lord Xie showed you the day before yesterday is from this rubbing," Emperor Hui then said to Xie Jing, "Lord Xie, please wet this parchment painting so that Master Xie can see the golden characters in it more clearly." ”
When Xie Jing heard this, he directly unfolded the painting with the tea at hand, and the light from the window lattice slowly penetrated out.
Guangzhi stepped forward to check it, nodded incessantly, and then carefully studied the map route and various marker symbols on it, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, if the monk is not mistaken, this map should only be half, and there is still the other half, so it can be considered complete." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Hui Di asked.
"Your Majesty, this is actually half a treasure map, and only by gathering the other half can you find the location of the treasure. In addition, this one is the spell of the witch spell, and the other half is the method of making the witch spell. ”
Emperor Hui was surprised, "Master, how can you be sure that this is a treasure map?" ”
"This is easy to understand, because there are a few small symbols in the corners of this half-edge, which are understood by us as a group of gathered treasures. It's not your kanji, so it's normal not to see it. ”
"Your Majesty, so to speak, is this left by a Tianzhu person?" Xie Jing asked.
"This map must be from the handwriting of a certain Tianzhu person, but this treasure may not be, I don't know which dynasty and who owns it, according to the mark on the map, the property should be huge, and there are a lot of scattered points."
"Those who can have this wealth and hide it in the mountains and wilderness should have other plans." Huidi Road.
"It seems that the emperor should have failed to find the treasure and lost a lot of guards, so what about the other half of the picture?" Xie Jing said.
"This was given to me by the Queen Mother on her deathbed, and she must not have known that this was only half a picture." Hui Di replied.
"The other half should still be in the hands of the emperor."
"Now I don't know if my father is alive or dead, if I can find him, why bother me so much."
"Your Majesty, the relics of the former emperor are usually brought into the imperial mausoleum, you can send someone in to check them out." Guangzhi said.
"The master thinks that the other half of the picture may be buried in the imperial mausoleum?" Emperor Hui shook his head, "It is a big sin to disturb the ancestral tombs for no reason. ”
"Your Majesty, we can let people act in secret, and that half of the picture should be a key, so that we can understand what happened to the emperor back then. Xie Jing said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, everything is because of this treasure map, solve the mystery, maybe many problems can be solved." Guangzhi said, "The poor monk also wants to see who drew this secret map from Tianzhu. ”
Emperor Hui was silent and pondered for a while, "There can't be too many people involved in this matter, so you can arrange it, Lord Xie." ”
"Weichen takes the order, then let Commander Liu sneak into the imperial tomb after taking two secret guards into the night."
"Yes, inform me before the action, I also want to see my father's coffin, Master Guangzhi, please go with Lord Xie, don't leave for the time being, you may have something to ask for advice at any time."
Xie Jing moved quickly, and immediately began to arrange for Liu Yingming to act that night.
Late at night. As soon as the time came, the people of the Imperial Tomb Guarding Palace had just changed shifts, and the secret guards secretly stunned the people on duty, opened the secret passage of the Imperial Tomb, and led a group of people to quietly enter under the tomb.
The dark guard opened the way in front with torches, followed by everyone in black night clothes one after another, Liu Yingming took the lead, Emperor Hui Xie Jing followed, Wei Wei refused to miss this opportunity to see the style of the imperial tomb after learning the news, and followed by Guangzhi and the two.
Everyone escalated down the ladder and walked about four or five hundred meters, and the underground imperial mausoleum gate appeared in front of them. The gate is carved with two flying dragons, the dark guard touches the groove on the right hand, the two dragons suddenly erupt from the mouth of the pillar of fire, the stone door of the imperial tomb is slowly pushed open, a long bluestone road, the stone pillar lamps on both sides are lit up with green fire, illuminating the scene in the mausoleum.
The underground area of the imperial mausoleum is huge, and the emperors and queens of all dynasties are buried here.
Following the dark guard all the way around, Vivi turned.
"Your Majesty, our current location is the burial place of the first emperor's coffin, and the coffin placed side by side next to him should be the coffin of the Empress Dowager Qi," the dark guard said, he should have stepped on it before.
"Let's get started!" Emperor Hui gave an order.
Liu Ying thanked Jingqi for going into battle, and together with the secret guard, he opened the lid of the emperor's coffin, and it took a lot of effort to lift a layer of coffin cover, only to find that there was another layer underneath, "This is the coffin in the coffin, and the bottom is the main coffin." Guangzhi spoke, "Open the lid of the coffin on the lower floor." ”
No, this second coffin lid opened with a slight push, and it was not nailed.
Hui Di and Wei Wei hurriedly stepped forward to look at the coffin, and sure enough, it was an empty coffin. Emperor Hui was disappointed for a while, but couldn't help but be sincerely relieved, "My father is really still alive, and my mother didn't lie to me." ”
"The other half of the picture is not in the coffin, what should I do?" Xie Jing asked.
"Your Majesty, that picture was left to you by the Empress Dowager Qi, will there be the remaining one with her?" Vivi asked Emperor Hui.
"No, if that's the case, why did the queen mother leave half a sheet?"
"Now it seems that these two pictures are not in the hands of the emperor, because he doesn't need them anymore, and the maps that he ponders every day, the routes on them must have been engraved in his heart." Guangzhi said, "Since you have already come, you might as well take a look at the tomb of the first queen." ”
Guangzhi's meaning was obvious, and he thought that the other half of the picture might be in the coffin of the Empress Dowager Qi.
Since you don't want to appear in the world, it is safer to put it in a coffin.
"Alright! Queen Mother, forgive the child for being unfilial, and surround you clean. Emperor Hui sighed and waved his hand to signal Xie Jing and them to move.
The nails of the coffin were lifted, the tightly sealed coffin lid was removed, and a piece of jewels flashed in front of everyone's eyes. The space under the imperial tomb is scarce, the coffin is tight, the Empress Dowager Qi is lying in the coffin, the body is slightly corrupted, but you can still see the beautiful face, kind and peaceful, graceful and luxurious.
When Emperor Hui saw the Empress Dowager Qi again, he couldn't help but feel sad and almost shed tears.
The rest of the people silently chanted: "Don't blame the Empress Dowager Qi!" "Look carefully through the contents of the coffin.
Suddenly, Liu Yingming let out an exclamation.
