Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Ling - Haidong Imperial Mausoleum Chapter 247: Tomb Road
Yue Guanchao took out the dagger, divided the complete outline along the ground gate, the dagger pried up slightly, the stone gate clicked a gap, they threw the ground gate into the tomb, stood on the shore and observed with a flashlight.
The tomb road is made of gray bricks and stones, except for the beginning is slightly steep, and the distance gradually becomes gentler and parallel, even if you turn on the flashlight, you can feel the pitch black chaos, full of underground cold, and the hidden places seem to hide all kinds of dangers.
The cat master took out a white candle from the treasure bag, lit it with a fire fold and placed it on the ground of the tomb, making sure that the candle was not immediately extinguished or changed color, and the vigilance in his eyes gradually dissipated.
If there are no candles lit in the tomb, it means that the soul of the tomb owner does not welcome them here!
Of course, according to the words of the cat master, this is indeed superstition.
But Yue Guanchao also knows the origin of this rule, if the tomb is sealed, it is likely that it will not be ventilated with the outside world for several years, if the corpse in the tomb produces rotten gas, once it enters it and inhales the corpse poison and turbidity, it will definitely cause harm to the body.
The white candle is fully burned, which means that the air in the tomb is sufficient, so that the poisonous gas will not spread, looking at the dancing flames, there must be a rock hole in the tomb to ventilate, but I don't know where.
After making sure that the tomb was safe, Yue Guanchao returned to the shore along the hemp rope and looked at everyone:
"Master Mao and I have opened the tomb door, and now we can enter the tomb road."
"Okay, I'll send a team of strong men down with you, and when the tomb is opened, I'll send some more people down to deliver the treasure."
The housekeeper of the court was very clever, and naturally knew the truth that the eggs were not put in one basket, so he only sent about fifteen strong men, armed with various kinds of guns and halberds and shields, and followed them down to the tomb.
Yue Guanchao turned on the flashlight and counted the number of people, Song Siyuan, Ma Chang, Ge Da, Mao Ye, and Yue Erpao were all there, plus the strong men of the Chao family, and a group of people in Wuyang occupied the tomb to the brim.
Crash!
He was about to go forward, and another person came down from the cave, and when he looked at it, it was clearly Uncle Yu.
"Uncle Yu, why are you coming down too?"
Uncle Yu glanced upward, the meaning was already very clear, and the housekeeper was not worried about an outsider on it, so he naturally wanted to send him down.
"Then you follow us, but don't fall behind, I don't know how many mechanisms there are in the tomb."
After that, more than a dozen strong men set up a shield array made of red copper, stopped Yue Guanchao and them all behind him, and slowly walked towards the tomb.
"We're going to go down like this, and we have to go to the Year of the Monkey!"
Yue Erpao followed behind the shield, looking around with a flashlight, the tomb was full of bricks and stones, and the large and small stone lattices that could not be seen at a glance pressed everyone's hearts, and the cold aura made people's skin even more pimpled.
The cat master coughed lightly a few times and explained to Yue Guanchao:
"Young man, the Tang tomb road is mostly inclined downward, this is to prevent tomb robbers from patronizing, unless they pass through the tomb directly from the top of the tomb, but whenever the tomb is drilled into the tomb road, this inclined downward structure is the most difficult to fathom, and it will give the tomb robbers a feeling of being elusive, if they are timid, they will not dare to commit it."
As they spoke, everyone had already slid down the ramp, and the further they went, the more flat the tomb became, and there was a feeling of being slow on the ground.
Walk through the corridor to the end.
Under the light of the flashlight, a strange-looking round tomb door appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Unexpectedly, but it is also being cleaned up, I thought it would be the giant stone gate of the Tang Dynasty, but now it is built as the Lotus Floating Buddha Gate, but it is the image of the golden lotus of the Emperor of Haidong."
Yue Guanchao saw that the cat master was about to walk out of the bronze medal array, and hurriedly asked the strong men to continue to walk forward, and when they were a little closer to the tomb door, many details on the door began to come into view.
The tomb door is a giant disc protruding from the gray and white stone wall, the whole is slightly larger than the carriage, there are eight petals on it lifelike, each petal is protruding from the curtain wall, the lines are smooth, the flowers and leaves are curly, the staggered degree, the white marble flowers and leaves are carved with many mysterious diagrams, and the edge is cut with yellow glazed edge tiles, as if there is a giant gold-edged lotus hanging on the wall!
The lotus should be the position of the lotus plate, embedded with the bronze casting of the gossip mirror, the mirror carved pattern, densely spread the diagram, the beads contain jade, do not hesitate to jewelry jade, the whole Bagua plate is exquisite, and the water mirror is on par, but the mirror is the opposite, showing the image of the concave wall.
With a flashlight, the hexagram pattern of the gossip plate is shining, and the golden lotus, gossip, bronze plate, treasure beads and jade, and many other things are like mysterious and eerie seals, trapping the treacherous world behind the tomb door firmly to death, and there is no way out!
Thousands of years have long made the bronze mirror decay and rust, reflecting nothing, and at first glance, I thought it was just an ordinary stone trough.
Outside the tomb gate, the curtain wall is built by bricks and stones, poured with insect prevention secret medicine in the middle, and then coated with glutinous mud and sand, and built as a solid wall according to the undulating cave potential of the underground karst cave.
The cat threw a stone forward, made sure that he had not touched any mechanism, and then walked from the shield to the tomb door.
