Chapter 175: The Burial Chamber

There was not a trace of light in the darkness, and Li Dao fell into a tunnel, and his body quickly rolled down with inertia. Fortunately, the slope of this tunnel is not too steep, and Li Dao has enough time to maintain a correct posture of his body, his head sinks slightly, his legs curl up, and his entire upper body is buried between his legs, forming a semi-oval.

This not only keeps the gap between the body and the tunnel to the greatest extent and avoids intimate contact, but also dissolves part of the impact force and avoids injury even after landing.

It's just that the butt will inevitably suffer a little, this tunnel is not polished and smooth, but a little rough, sliding all the way down, Li Dao only feels a hot pain.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Wind Resisting Technique is still working, and the faint blue light surrounds him, making his body a lot lighter, otherwise the flesh on his ass may be blurred.

Time is meaningless in the dark, and I don't know how long it has been, whether it is an hour in the past, or a cup of tea, or just a pillar of incense, in short, Li Dao feels like a long jiazi.

Finally, there was a muffled sound of "bang", like falling down from a waterfall on the top of the mountain, slamming it on the ground, a huge force broke the silence of the darkness, and a terrible sound sounded, Li Dao fell into a lot of meat, and stood up from the ground with grinning teeth.

Fluffy!

The two flames suddenly lit up, and it seemed that they had been silent for a long time, and the flames were unusually vigorous.

The flickering firelight illuminated the surroundings, and Li Dao looked over, which were two copper lamps embedded in the stone wall, which seemed to be caused by the chain reaction caused by his arrival.

Of course, he understood that this was naturally not a mechanism, it should be the fresh air that he brought down, which caused the two extinguished lamps to be rekindled, and if it was unexpected, the air would be quickly exhausted after a while, and the two lamps would also be extinguished again.

At this time, Li Daocai looked around, this is a cave with a width of ten zhang, surrounded by stone walls, under the light of the fire, faintly reflecting the light, which is caused by water vapor, wet, very damp.

At the top of the cave there was a hole about half a zhang wide, pitch black, and streams of cold wind came out of it, but it was not very large, and people felt a trace of air current.

This must be the tunnel you came down into.

Li Dao touched his buttocks, showing a trace of pain on his face, fortunately he was not an ordinary person and had a strong foundation. If you want to change to an ordinary person, if you don't fall half to death, it is inevitable that you will be injured.

In the middle of the two bronze lamps, there is a double-open gate cast of white marble, and there are nine dragons entangled in relief on the door, which is lifelike, showing its extraordinary.

Above the white marble gate, there is a plaque with gloomy wood, on which is written in seal script with six characters: Emperor Gaozu's mausoleum, the handwriting is square, obviously from the hand of a famous artist.

However, with the erosion of the years, this gloomy wooden plaque has decayed.

It seems that this is the mausoleum of Emperor Jianwen, although he is overseas, this mausoleum still does not lose the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

What makes Li Dao eye-catching is that on the left and right sides of this tomb gate, there are actually two strange beasts made of copper, both of which are two feet high, with a sphinx, two wings on the ribs, and sharp barbs at the shoulder blades towering, looking fierce and vicious, mighty and extraordinary.

Li Dao tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out what kind of strange beast this was, but he was guarding the door of the mausoleum, so let's call it the tomb beast.

To be on the safe side, Li Dao first swept the two tomb beasts with his divine sense, and found that they were dead objects, not magic weapons, so he boldly pushed open the tomb door with his hands.

The road above has been blocked, and there is no way back, and the only way to survive is to find a way from this mausoleum, and Da Niu should not lie to him, so Li Dao is not worried that there is no way to go inside.

The seemingly heavy tomb door actually opened as soon as it was pushed, after all, no one had come for a long time, and the structure of the tomb door was old and decaying, making a rattling sound, which was extremely harsh.

Fluffy Fluffy ......

As the tomb door was pushed open, a stream of air poured in, countless fires lit up one after another, and a huge tomb appeared in front of him, and a turbid aura permeated him.

Countless ever-bright lamps lit up all over the tomb, illuminating the entire tomb.

The whole burial chamber is arched, there are dozens of zhang long, more than ten zhang wide, a straight Shinto divides the burial chamber on both sides, there are several ear chambers on the left and right, which contain a large number of fine ceramics, jade, and some gold jewelry, as well as a large number of armor and weapons, these are burial items.

Li Dao was not interested in things at all, on the contrary, the reliefs carved on the walls around the tomb made him very interested.

The walls around the burial chamber are paved with bluestone slabs, smooth and smooth, as if polished. There are countless reliefs depicted on it, with people and objects, divided into four plates, which seem to narrate something, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they revolve around the same young man.

Li Dao looked at it for a while, and roughly figured out what these reliefs meant, and it should be about the life and deeds of Emperor Jianwen.

The first relief plate depicts a mighty old man, wearing an imperial crown and a dragon robe, saying something to a young man, his expression full of Dundun's teachings, and the young man bowing his head humbly and listening carefully.

Behind the young man, there were countless civil and military ministers, with a smile on their faces, and they seemed to agree very much, this was a scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister.

The old man Li Dao didn't know him, but the young man was unusually familiar, and it was the appearance of Emperor Jianwen in the temple.

Under the relief is written: In September of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson, as the crown prince.

Li Dao nodded, it turned out that the old man wearing the imperial crown was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the young man was Emperor Jianwen who had not yet ascended the throne, it turned out that his name was Zhu Yunwen, to Li Dao's surprise, he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's biological son, but his grandson.

The relief of the second plate is divided into two parts, the first part is a painting of a funeral picture, Emperor Jianwen is wearing a white crown dress, with a sad expression, holding a huge coffin and crying bitterly, the coffin is lying in the coffin is the old man Zhu Yuanzhang who has white hair before.

A relief at the back is Emperor Jianwen's happy face, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing majestically on the imperial steps, worshiped by hundreds of civil and military officials, ruling the world, indispensable.

There are a few lines of small characters engraved under the relief: In the leap month of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, died. Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Jianwen, calling him Emperor Jianwen.

The third relief is a little chaotic, also divided into two parts, the first part is the newly succeeded Emperor Jianwen and the three scholars looking at the ministers discussing something, Emperor Jianwen has a resolute look on his face. In the latter part, a royal palace was on fire, and a middle-aged man in a four-clawed dragon robe laughed wildly in the flames, his face full of resentment, pointing to the sky as if he was accusing something, and his appearance was lifelike.

Li Dao didn't understand it for a long time, but he still looked at the relief small character interpretation below, and it was written below: In the first year of Jianwen, the sect was cut, King Xiang resisted the decree, the palace self-immolated, and King Yan rebelled.

The last relief depicts a middle-aged man with long hair wearing armor sitting on a horse and raising a sword, his eyes are sharp, and there are thousands of troops behind the man, and the word Jing Nan is written on the banner.

Later, Emperor Jianwen was helped by his attendants to flee in a hurry and came to Si Ming Island by boat.

Below the relief is written: In the fifth year of Jianwen, the rebel Yan King rebelled, broke through the capital, Emperor Jianwen went to the sea to take refuge, and stationed on Siming Island.

The relief ends here.

Li Dao couldn't help but sigh, this is also an emperor with a bumpy fate, obviously he has a good deck of cards, but he wants to cut the domain, but God is not on his side and cuts his throne.

Siming Island, originally Siming Island, presumably this fallen emperor, did not forget to go back until he died, hence the name. It's a pity that his descendants changed Siming Island to Siming Island for some scruples, and Emperor Jianwen didn't know what to think about it.

Continue along the Shinto Road, and at the end of the walk is a wall made of white marble, which is also carved with the pattern of the Nine Dragons, which is extremely exquisite.

In front of the extension of Shinto, a circular arch opened in the white jade wall, and on either side of the door stood two stone guards, with lifelike expressions, blazing eyes, and hands pressed on their waist knives, as if guarding the sleeping tomb owner inside.

Li Dao looked at it and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and then walked in.

Walking through the archway, there is a different scene, a larger burial chamber. On both sides of the Shinto in the burial chamber are two pools of water that shimmer and are lined with lotus flowers carved from jadeite.

On the stone walls around the tomb, there are also many reliefs, but they are not depicted as before, but many auspicious clouds, divine lights, and countless palaces.

There are also many immortals with different shapes, and a young man wearing an imperial crown is changing cups with these immortals, and they are drinking happily.

Li Dao glanced at it and couldn't help but smile, these reliefs should refer to the implication that Emperor Jianwen ascended to heaven after his death and enjoyed with many immortals. couldn't help pouting, none of these emperors didn't want to live forever, they wanted to find the elixir of life before they died, and they wanted to ascend to heaven and enjoy with immortals after death, even Emperor Jianwen, the exiled emperor, was no exception.

At the end of the Shinto path is a shrine made of white jade, on which stands a huge coffin made of gold, half of which is wrapped in yellow cloth.

On the ground on the left and right sides of the shrine, there are two smaller coffins, these two coffins are cast in brass, not very large, and the finished font of the gold coffin seems to be in the arch guard.

Li Dao knew in his heart that the golden coffin on the altar must be Emperor Jianwen's, and the other two should be concubines or ministers, and their status is not enough to go to the altar.

The emperor is the emperor, even if he is down, he is still extremely sad after death.

Looking around, Li Dao didn't see any passage to leave here, and couldn't help but feel very depressed.

At this time, suddenly a cold wind blew, all the everlasting lights were extinguished at once, and the tomb fell into darkness, Li Dao couldn't help but feel creepy, he felt two very evil breaths permeating the tomb, and vaguely seemed to hear a rattling sound, very harsh.
