This idea may be too bizarre that Qiu Shaohu couldn't even be sure at first.

But in the end, he stuck to his idea.

It's just that who is it that actually built such a magnificent mausoleum here?

Don't......

Qiu Shaohu thought as he walked to the edge of one side and walked along the corrected rock wall.

The frescoes here are the same in technique and style as those of the previous ones, and it is conceivable that they were made by the same craftsmen.

But the stars painted on the dome here were also the same as before, looming, and could not be seen clearly at all, and they were meaningless to him.

I don't know why the person before me extracted the images of the stars here, and what he could discover through these blurry pictures.

Unconsciously, Qiu Shaohu went around to the back of the palace in the entire cave, but the scene in front of him was beyond his expectations.

For the first time in the entire cave, something other than the mural appeared, but it was not an auspicious thing.

The ground in front of me was filled with all kinds of bones, and all the remains covered the entire ground. The bones are in a strange state, and some are pressed to the bottom by other bones, as if there was a push and fight before death. Some of the bones hugged each other, as if they were comforting each other before they died. More bones were stuck in front of an entire wall, and countless nail scratches appeared on the wall, as if they were struggling to escape from it before they died.

The skeletons were in tattered clothes, but mostly intact, with various tools scattered around. There are all kinds of indications that these people were suddenly locked up here and then blocked alive.

"Let the craftsmen who know about it stay in the tomb and be buried so that the relevant information will not be leaked. This kind of thing can happen only in one case. ”

Qiu Shaohu walked among the corpses and saw several corpses lying on something together, so he walked over and pushed the corpses on it away, and saw that it was a stone tablet-like thing, which was engraved with some news about this place. Outside, for all important buildings, similar stone tablets are left with information including the name of the craftsman, the time taken to build it, and the process of construction, as a proof of acceptance after the fact.

And the first sentence of the inscription is clearly engraved with these words - "Hongying Thirty Years ......"

"The era name of 'Hongying'," Qiu Shaohu thought, "is indeed the era name of the founding monarch of Zhao Kingdom, and it seems that this place was also built by his order." ”

From before Huang Yue said that the founding monarch of Zhao Kingdom had sacrificed to the sky at Haoshan, Qiu Shaohu guessed the relationship between this place and him.

With the content of the inscription, combined with a series of histories after the Zhao Kingdom, Qiu Shaohu gradually understood what was going on here.

At the beginning of the founding of the Zhao Kingdom, the capital was set in the southern capital of Kangjing, the founding emperor Hongying the Great was in Haoshan after worshipping the sky, and chose this place as the location of the imperial tombs of the past dynasties, so he mobilized many workers to work together, hollowed out the mountain, built a passage, and communicated the magnificent imperial mausoleum that was ready to be repaired in the mountain.

However, before the first mausoleum could be repaired, Emperor Hongying died, and the prince who succeeded to the throne sent craftsmen to hastily complete the repair, and then sealed the entire mausoleum so that it would not leak the news. After that, the Zhao Kingdom moved the capital to Wudu City, and even brought the body of Emperor Hongying to the Northern Capital to make Emperor Xunliang buried, so that the imperial tomb in Kangjing was abandoned. It was not until more than 20 years ago that the southern crossing of Zhaoguo made Kangjing a unique capital again.

But after many years, the secrets are no longer known to outsiders.

"With the hearts of all the people, to achieve one's own selfish desires, is this the 'way of heaven', is this the emperor?" Qiu Shaohu saw these facts again, and he was also a little emotional for a while.

Since the Holy Emperor Hong divided the five realms and claimed to be the lord of the Heavenly Dao, the future Son of Heaven does not seem to be able to fulfill his responsibilities in full accordance with the wishes of this ancient Holy Emperor.

Qiu Shaohu thought so, and suddenly found that the inscription had ended here, and it had not completely ended.

Under the layers of corpses, there is also a line of small characters, which is inconspicuous, as if it was carved casually, and it is not consistent with the upright italics on it.

Qiu Shaohu originally thought that it was the suicide note of these craftsmen who were trapped here before they died, but after reading it carefully, he realized that it was not.

Because this sprinkled passage has nothing to do with life and death, but "It's a blessing to be here to watch the stars." ”

"I'm afraid this is left by the person who came here, and this mausoleum is probably also opened by him, otherwise the craftsman will be sealed in the mausoleum here, and it stands to reason that there will be no place to enter and exit at all." Qiu Shaohu thought that the record of this person who had left here might tell him what the looming stars on the dome were drawing.

But when he continued to read, he realized that the contents of the record were more surprising than he had expected.

"Out of chaos, the world distinguishes between turbidity and two qi. Clear the sky for the sky, and the turbid air sinks for the earth. The clear is turbid, so the sky is divided into the sun, moon and stars; The turbidity is clear, so there are mountains and rivers and beasts. Therefore, heaven and earth have the same root, and turbidity and clear have the same origin. The direction of the stars can also correspond to each other according to the principle of the change of the leylines. ”

"In the past, stargazers often looked at the changes in the nakshatra itself, ignoring the corresponding direction of the leyline. I went deep into the Hao Mountain to observe its leylines, and I came here unintentionally, which was quite unexpected. One can observe the leylines in the mountain, and the other can use the stars of the murals. Pair by pair, harvest a lot. ”

"It's just that the founding monarch is stubborn, and the murals and stars are still no different from those left by Di Hong, which is a pity. He didn't know that the Zhou Tian constellations were unpredictable, and they were very different today. The laws of the stars no longer exist. But the details of the changes seem to be incomprehensible based on the observations of the Heavenly Prison alone......"

The rest of the handwriting was illegible.

"This person is really a genius, and he can actually deduce the changes of the stars by relying on the direction of the earth's leylines." The shock in Qiu Shaohu's heart was incomprehensible.

The simplicity of the above seems to be nothing more than the comparison of the turbid qi with each other, but only by knowing the art of the Qi Gate can we know the difficulties involved. In the leylines of the earth, all kinds of breaths are intertwined, mixed but not pure, and the heaven and earth are thousands of miles apart, how easy is it to find the breath that can correspond to the stars?

It's like a fisherman looking for a school of fish in the water, any wind and grass will be a disturbance, and people can find out where there are fish, how many fish there are, and what kind of fish they are through the waves of the water, just by relying on the vibration in the water.

Moreover, what does the text above mean when it says "The Law of the Stars of the Holy Emperor's Period no longer exists today"?

The Heaven Seeker is obviously the most accurate organization for observing the stars, so why do they say that they "don't know the essentials"?

"At least find a copy of the latest observation records of the Heavenly Prison and see if it can correspond to the star map, so that we can know what it means."

Qiu Shaohu made up his mind.

In this way, it is not for nothing that he inadvertently broke into this place this time.

But at this moment, a faint color suddenly broke into his surroundings.

The blue-green color, like a ghostly firefly, flutters up and down around it, like a ghost fire in hell.

Qiu Shaohu easily extinguished a flame, but the blue ghost flames floated out one after another, constantly appearing from a corner, and finally chasing his trail.

"Ghost fire is yin, so it will naturally be attracted by my yang energy. But, where do these ghost fires come from? Qiu Shaohu dodged while thinking that there might be something else hidden in this mausoleum.

So he directly bypassed the entanglement of these cyan flames and went straight to their source.

But he never thought that in the corner of the other edge of the mausoleum, he saw a broken hole, and many flames were constantly coming out of it.

"Could it be that some of the craftsmen who were sealed here back then escaped from here?" After Qiu Shaohu observed carefully, he came to a judgment, "No, there are no traces of excavation at the entrance of this cave, it is more like a natural collapse." After all, after the mausoleum was hastily completed that year, no one repaired it. And looking at the traces of this collapse, it seems that it was not long ago. ”

Qiu Shaohu, whose curiosity was aroused, did not hesitate for a while, and walked out directly from this cave that was just enough for him to pass through, and there was another cave outside, and the rugged road was like a naturally formed cave, which was in stark contrast to the careful carving everywhere in the mausoleum.

The cave was littered with water, and it seemed that all the water from the top had seeped down from the top, making it slippery and difficult to walk.

However, for a short distance, Qiu Shaohu also took a lot of effort to really go through this journey. Bypassing a corner, he came to a slightly flat place in front of him, and a coffin immediately appeared in front of him, neatly placed here.

"These coffins?" Qiu Shaohu was still suspicious of their relationship with the mausoleum, but quickly dispelled this thought, "No, these coffins are all new, but that mausoleum is at least a hundred years old. And,"

He carefully observed the perimeter of these coffins, and picked up some dust from them, "This dust, which is clearly the coffin that was once buried, has been dug up again." ”

Not only that, on these coffins, Qiu Shaohu also saw a series of labels. However, in order to facilitate transportation and burial, all shops that sell coffins will clearly mark the buyer's address and the location of the cemetery where they will be buried in one place on the coffin, so as to avoid sending the coffin wrongly.

Through these marks, Qiu Shaohu found that the large number of coffins in front of him came from various cemeteries in the capital, and even the ancestral tombs of some large families. And most of them came from the cemetery he went to.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and it suddenly appeared here, as terrifying as a ghost's scream. Qiu Shaohu saw that the lid of a coffin was suddenly lifted from the inside, and a corpse slowly got up from the inside, and then walked out.

The corpse was intact and seemed to have just died, but its eyes were empty. It didn't notice Qiu Shaohu at all, and walked straight to the other side.

Qiu Shaohu immediately followed it, wanting to see where it was going. With stiff footsteps, the corpse "creaked" forward, and the temperature in the cave also increased unconsciously.

Immediately following Qiu Shaohu, he saw that a burning furnace was exuding a blazing high temperature at the end of the cave, and ordinary people would be burned as long as they got closer, I was afraid that their bones would be burned.

"That's ......" Qiu Shaohu watched as the corpse ignored the high temperature and walked directly into the furnace, the body that had no feeling visibly disintegrated and melted, and in the end, only some white ashes were left, falling out of the furnace. The white ash has already piled up together, and I don't know how many corpses have been refined to gather so much.

"That's, phosphorus from corpses?" Qiu Shaohu watched the hot air waves sweep by, and a little white ash was blown away from the gathering place, and the phosphorus in it turned into a little flame in the high temperature, and the blue phosphorus fire disappeared all the way out along the direction of the air flow.

Thinking about the previous tomb robbers and the disappearance of the corpses in the cemetery, he immediately knew what was going on, "Someone actually stole the corpse just to refine phosphorus powder, but with so many corpses, how much phosphorus does this have to be refined......

"Ahh It was as if they had been suddenly manipulated by something, and they all besieged him.

The entire cave suddenly became gloomy.

"They've found me!" Qiu Shaohu realized for the first time that those people before him had found his traces. At the same time, they broke into the depths of the cave, which means that they have discovered the secrets of the other party, and they must not want to leave them alive, so they drive these corpses against themselves.
