Chapter 061 [The Most Authoritative Decree]
In the basement of Zhongshan Xiaowang's Mansion, it is not a simple secret room, but a majestic underground country: a space with a height of seven meters and an area of thousands of square meters is dug out under the ground of more than ten meters, and the simple structure reproduces the whole picture of the rivers and mountains of Dahan.
Blue and white watercolors depict the sky and white clouds covering the ceiling, real flowers and plants are planted in the fields, and two shallow ditches represent the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, dividing the earth into three. Fish in the water, insects in the bushes, birds and beasts are all real existences, and a Great Wall twists and turns through the mountains. Then a huge pearl was used as the moon, and a golden ball as the sun hung on the ceiling. Dazzling.
Mountains and rivers, hills and fields, the heaven and earth of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are all shrunk here.
Liu Bei was stunned and amazed at the ingenuity. Xu Shu secretly pushed and woke him up.
Xiao Dali said: "Those flowers, grasses, insects and fish are all real, only the blue sky and white clouds are fake." Look at that big pearl, it is absolutely unique, unparalleled in the world, and the crown is unique in the world. β
"It's amazing. Not to mention making so many things, just digging out such a large space, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent. Liu Bei was amazed that even if a modern person went to get it, it would be expensive, not to mention in this era of cold weapons.
The four of them walked along the "rivers and mountains", and Liu Bei's eyes were fixed on this shocking work. After a while, they encountered the first wave of Assassin League guards. After the "rivers and mountains", there is a long passage in front of you. The passages have stone gates. Xiao Dali stopped in front of the fourth stone chamber. "Three adults, Lord Defeated Jin is inside."
"Open." Guan Yu ordered.
"Lord Jin has a bad temper, and when he sees that the little one didn't take the wine, he will definitely blame it. When the time comes, please ask the three adults to intercede. Xiao gave his hand vigorously, with a look of fear on his face.
"Open the door, we are here, how dare this stinky boy who loses gold be presumptuous!" Liu Bei motioned to open the door.
Xiao vigorously pressed the stone in the center of the crack in the door, and the stone immediately sank. "Boom" The stone door turned open. Inside is a hall, and behind the curtain on the right hand is the entrance to the inner room. The four of them entered the hall, and the stone door closed. Xiao vigorously signaled that the defeated gold was inside. Guan Yu suddenly slapped his palm, knocked Xiao vigorously unconscious, and put it aside. The three of them glanced at each other, Guan Yu approached the entrance of the inner room and lifted the curtain.
A long sword pierced the curtain with the cold air, and went straight to Guan Yu's heart. Guan Yu's upper body flashed to the side, and with his right hand, he pulled down the door curtain, revealing the haired young man holding the sword behind the curtain.
As soon as the defeated gold long sword turned, Guan Yu retreated backwards, and a burst of sword flowers danced, and the curtain turned into rags and floated down. "Who are you?" Seeing Liu Bei and Xu Shu in a blink of an eye, he exclaimed: "It's you?" It's just in time, I'll go to you if you save it. The long sword shook up and went straight to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei immediately flashed back, Guan Yu caught up, and kicked the sword away. Defeated Jin was shocked, this red face was a few points more powerful than that black face. I wanted to call the guards, but when I thought that the stone room was soundproof, I immediately dispelled the idea. The iron sword swung and stabbed towards Guan Yu like a raging wind.
Guan Yu saw that this speed would never exceed six stages, and his heart was already in his chest, so he immediately used all his strength, shouted, his figure flashed left, and slapped his palm on the opponent's waist. Defeated Jin returned to the sword defense, and was kicked away by Guan Yu, and at the same time, the waist that lost its defense was slapped by the opponent without suspense, and the whole waist was numb and painful. Then a knife was struck in the back, and the man immediately fell down.
Guan Yu stepped on it and shifted his weight to his feet, and the defeated gold was already pressed and couldn't get up.
"How do you find the Divine Decree? I will spare your life. Liu Bei asked. Xu Shu on the side was puzzled, how could it be related to the holy decree?
"Don't say it's death, it's worse to die, if it were, would you say it?" The defeated gold grinned in pain, and his head was stepped on tightly by Guan Yu with the soles of his feet.
"After the ten permanent servants are uprooted, how can they kill you?" Liu Bei persuaded.
"Hey, hey!" Defeated Jin spit out a mouthful of dirt in his mouth, and said with a complicated look: "There will be no such day." β
"So, you won't say it?" Xu Shu said again.
Defeat Jin closed his eyes and waited for death. Liu Bei saw that the other party was dead, and motioned for Guan Yu to make a move. Guan Yu slapped down, defeated Jin and fainted.
"Take a look inside, maybe there's a clue." Liu Bei said and walked into the inner room. The ten-square-meter inner room is filled with a faint aroma of wine, which can be seen at a glance. On the ground is a crooked wine jar, on one side is a case and a couch, a few rolls of bamboo slips on the case, and there is nothing after that.
Xu Shu flipped through the bamboo slips and said excitedly: "There is writing on it." β
Liu Bei took it and read it carefully. I can't help but be shocked. "There is such a thing! You've come to the right place today. Second brother, what you said is not bad at all. β
Bamboo slips are written: Gaozu left a holy decree before his death, and those who have the holy decree can dominate the world's soldiers Qingjun's side. Zhou Yafu pacified the rebellion of the Lu clan, Emperor Jing pacified the rebellion of the eight kings, and Guangwu Zhongxing all used this holy decree. According to reliable sources, this decree was kept by the King of Zhongshan. Liu Zhi, the king of the Zhongshan Festival, confirmed that the holy purpose was lost when King Xiao kept it a hundred years ago. Therefore, this holy decree must be in the palace of the filial piety king. Remember to search carefully and not to alarm others. In addition, Jiang's Mansion was once inhabited by the housekeeper of Xiaowang's Mansion, or there are clues.
The inscription is the word "Jianshuo".
"I didn't expect there to be such a holy decree. If that's the case, wouldn't the eldest brother be able to ......" Guan Yu stared at Liu Bei excitedly.
"Find it first." Liu Bei said lightly.
Xu Shu said: "If what is written above is true, the Assassin League has been looking for so long, but it has not been found. There must be a lack of clues. If you look for them like this without a trace, you may not be able to find it in your lifetime. β
"That's right. Now we know the secret, unless we can find the Divine Decree. Otherwise, they will not be able to escape the extermination of the ten permanent servants. Liu Bei said.
"But we don't have a clue, how can we find it?" Guan Yu was a little disappointed.
"I don't think it's that we didn't look for it. Don't you remember that there were two other forks in the road? β
The three of them immediately tied Xiao Dali and Defeated Jin to the stone couch, and then picked up the rags and gagged their mouths, and then walked out of the stone room with confidence. When he arrived at the door of the room, Liu Bei said loudly: "Obey the order, and never come in to disturb without the orders of the adults." β
He said this to the guards not far away. After Liu Bei finished speaking, he called the guards over: "You guys are guarding here." Lord Defeated Jin has important things to do. No one is allowed to go in and disturb them. If this matter is delayed, whether you can keep your head or not depends on the mood of Lord Jin. β
The guards secretly looked at the mood of Lord Jin, and if someone entered the secret room, his mood must be very bad, and then he would only have a dead end. Immediately swore in my heart not to let anyone in.
Liu Bei and the three of them walked back along the "rivers and mountains" and returned to the front of the three-fork road. The three of them agreed to go to the left side of the light first, and then turn back to explore the dark path in the middle after they didn't find it. Guan Yu was in the front, Liu Bei was in the middle, Xu Shu was in the end, and he was walking slowly in the bright passage. After more than 100 meters, the front opened up, revealing a space of 100 square meters. There is a sarcophagus in the center. The sarcophagus is unsealed, and inside is a gorgeous princess costume.
The sarcophagus is engraved with a script. It is recorded above that it is Lu Hou's clothes crown. Except for some words of praise, there is no mention of the LΓΌ rebellion.
"Empress Lu's clothes are here, does it mean that this basement was built by the descendants of the Lu family?" Guan Yu wondered.
"It's not possible. The Lu clan was all beheaded after the rebellion. Besides, Empress Lu and Gaozu have no sons, where are the descendants? Liu Bei said again. The more inexplicable things are, the most surprising but reasonable when the truth is revealed in the end. But now it's hard to guess anyway. β
After some fruitless investigation, the three left and returned to the fork in the road. Guan Yu asked the guards for three torches and took the lead into the dark middle. The air in the middle lane is clear and refreshing. After walking a few steps, it is no longer a stone brick paving, but a mixture of small sand and stones. The upper, left, and right walls are all uneven rocks. By the faint light of the torches, the three of them continued on their way.
Liu Bei felt that this passage was a vent. If not, how can such a large secret room be replaced with fresh air?
The passage is dark and winding, and it slopes upwards. After about 10 kilometers, we reached the end. In front of him is a hard rock. Everyone was amazed, why there was no way. Where does the fresh air come from?
"In the end, it's really as Xiao Dali said. It's a dead end. Xu Shu sighed.
Liu Bei looked around and found nothing. Guan Yu exclaimed: "Come and see, there are traces of shovels dug all around, it seems that it has been some years." β
Xu Shu said: "It's that this basement is not finished. β
"If it's not finished, what about the previous buildings? They are very beautifully built. I feel like this passage is extra up. β
"Looks like we're going to have to go home." Guan Yu sighed lightly.
So the three of them sighed and turned back. When he was about to leave the passage, Liu Bei felt something strange. "The stone bricks here are not made in small pieces. It's a big piece of paving. β
"So what?" Guan Yu was puzzled.
"The bigger the bricks, the higher the cost. Isn't it strange that the rest of the basement uses small blocks, but here it uses large pieces? β
"Open it and take a look!" Liu Bei ordered. Guan Yu immediately went to call the guards. Liu Bei counted the large stone bricks in the middle road, and there were five in total. After a few moments, the guards came with tools and lifted the large stone bricks one by one. Underneath is the dirt, which is very usual.
Liu Bei squatted down and touched the soil. "It's soft. It's not hard. The description was excavated. β
"Quick, quick. Dig with your hands! Guan Yu ordered.
The guards were puzzled, this was a hard work.
Liu Bei stood up and said, "Lord Defeated Jin came here to find a batch of royal jewels, presumably under here. β
The guards were both surprised and delighted, and eager to dig.
Liu Bei said again: "Lord Defeated Jin said that after finding the treasure, we can take as much as we can." If you can't find the treasure, stay in this dark place until you find it. β
As soon as these words came out, the guards could no longer stand and immediately started digging.
