Volume 2: Snow Ridge Please Ling - Haidong Imperial Mausoleum Chapter 253: Shangjing Longquan Mansion
Yue Guanchao turned the flashlight to the brightest, and raised his head to barely see the many details on the city tower, the vermilion red pillars, white wall latticework windows have accumulated a layer of dust in thousands of years, and they have long ceased to be glamorous, even then you can see the grandeur and majesty when it was first built.
He shifted his gaze to the four city towers, the openings that should have had city gates, only a few layers of hazy gauze curtains were obscured, and a breeze blew from under the mountain cliff, and the gauze curtains with bright light rippled slightly, which was even more strange.
Everything here is not played according to common sense at all.
Song Siyuan shone the flashlight on the plaque on the city tower, although the blue paint and gold characters were ancient seals, it was not a problem in front of her, and she quickly cracked the son of the plaque.
"Shangjing Longquan Mansion"
She muttered the name, and her eyes lit up:
"Chao Wenshun said that in order to continue to enjoy himself with his favorite concubine Mrs. Qionghua after death, he rebuilt the capital in his mausoleum, I thought it was Haikou that he boasted of, and now the city tower is in front, I think he didn't lie to us."
After finishing speaking, she used a flashlight to shine on the left and right city walls:
"The left and right walls are already more than a kilometer, such a long distance is enough to build a city, but it is still small compared to the real Shangjing City, and it is enough to just serve as a tomb city."
After speaking, she gathered several flashlights to illuminate the entire tower:
"You see, Haidong Shengguo took Tang as his teacher, and when building buildings, he gave priority to restoring Chang'an, but the successive monarchs of Haidong Shengguo also knew that they were only vassal kings at the county king level, and in order to show respect for the Li Tang royal family, they must be inferior in architecture."
"Their city tower is mostly heavy eaves rest mountain, one step lower than the highest level of heavy eaves palace, according to the classics, the main gate of the capital corresponds to the Danfeng Gate, specially the five gates of the Danfeng Gate are opened and repaired to four gates, which just corresponds to the situation in history."
"It's just that what's going on inside the door, we can only go in and see for ourselves to know what's going on."
"Well, I'll take my shield and stand first, and then you can come in when we come out and make sure it's okay."
There is no door on the city wall, Yue Guanchao can see it really clearly, there is a ghost bridge in front of him, he doesn't believe it, a chicken thief emperor like Yinzun really doesn't build a tomb door, and allows tomb robbers to patronize the tomb.
Thinking about it from this, he took the bronze shield of the strong man in front of him, and it was indeed too risky for them to rush forward, in case they encountered a hidden weapon, they didn't know how many casualties they would have to kill.
He picked up the shield, but before he could fully approach the curtain, the cat master followed closely behind to stop him:
"You might as well let the old man follow, if it weren't for Yue Xiaoyou, you knocked me down, now I have gone to Lord Yama, the grace of dripping water also pays attention to the spring to reciprocate, I don't have other skills, the organ hexagram book is very proficient, it is too dangerous to go alone, maybe my old bones can really come in handy."
The cat master said it sincerely, he didn't deceive at all, if it was true or false, he wouldn't catch him to death.
Yue Guanchao looked at the old man who was half a head shorter than him, after this incident, he found that this old man was sleek and sophisticated on the surface, but in essence he still adhered to morality and righteousness, if he was really an open-minded and unscrupulous person, he would not react to the slaughter of young children by Ah Yinzun at all.
Knowing the world without accidents, sleek for the surface, righteousness for the inside, the so-called look at the treasure is just his ability to settle down, so that he plays a pivotal role in the antique street, should be "righteousness", this is the foundation of life.
Since the old man was so insistent, Yue Guanchao did not twist, and also took a copper shield for him, and the two of them lifted the curtain and disappeared into the city gate.
After Yue Guanchao and Mao Ye walked into the city gate, a layer of crimson gauze curtains appeared every four or five meters to block the front, and after five or six layers of gauze curtains, they still did not reach the city gate.
The cat master noticed that something was wrong, so he stopped in place and looked at the intricate curtains.
It didn't matter if they looked at it, when the two of them stopped one after another, the cascading gauze curtain actually began to appear with the silhouette of the ancient palace maid.
This graceful palace maid stood not far away, only a few meters away from them, wearing a long-sleeved skirt as red as blood, combing her hair in a high bun, and the bright dress swayed slightly behind the gauze curtain, and the hairpin ring was faintly seen swaying and ringing.
Yue Guanchao stretched out his ears to listen carefully to the movement ahead, and could even feel the aroma of fat powder emanating from their bodies!
These palace maids seemed to have something sad, their cries were sad and tactful, and as the gauze curtain trembled, they gradually entered their ears, and their faces were always unreal, as if they had a veil on their faces.
"Who the hell are you? Why stand in front of us in our way? ”
Yue Guanchao raised the dagger and asked the ancients in front of him, he didn't wait any longer, and suddenly lifted the curtain in front of the palace maid, and the woman who was still in front of him suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Before he could turn around, he caught a glimpse of the familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, smiling faintly and silently.
Yue Guanchao immediately turned around and lifted the curtain with a swift momentum, and the result was naturally the same as just now, he could see the sound and face but had no substance, like a ghost that would not be dispersed, haunting the two people who entered the city gate!
Could it be that the city gate has no gate because there are unjust souls guarding it?
Yue Guanchao didn't dare to decide, he looked at the cat master beside him, the old man was holding the talisman tightly, and his feet were trembling, which showed that he didn't know anything about the situation in front of him.
"It's strange, if it's just a gauze curtain, why can't we feel the presence of the wind, as if it is blocking out all the cold air."
Yue Guanchao also deeply understands the words of the cat master, and even the deeper he goes, the warmer he becomes.
