Chapter 25: Tomb Horror (8)
Zhu sighed: "Don't try, your blood won't work." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Nangong Yu didn't speak, and after cutting his palm, he dripped blood into the fine hole one by one. Tan Mian said: "You have too little blood, cut more." Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the iron door starting again, and it was not only the "squeak" friction sound, but the "boom" started all the parts, the gears and chains on the door rotated like flying, and the iron bolt on the top layer of the iron door retracted into it, followed by "Bang dang, Bang Dang, Bang Dang," a total of ten iron bolts were all retracted, and the iron door was slowly opened. Tan Mian laughed and said, "Okay, good, there are yours." As he spoke, he walked in first.
Zhu Shu and Ouyang Ye glanced at each other in disbelief, only they knew that this iron door was not a koji-style repair at all, but a "blood sacrifice door" built by Zhu Yunwen and skilled craftsmen, as long as the blood of the Zhu family's royal family could open the heavy mechanisms inside the door. With Zhu Shen's bloodline still not fully opened, Nangong Yu only used a few drops of blood to unlock ten iron bolts, could it be that he is... Thinking of this, the two looked at him as if they were seeing Nangong Yu for the first time, but Nangong Yu was expressionless and followed the crowd into the tomb.
As soon as I entered the tomb, I saw that there were stone troughs with fire oil on both sides, and the tomb immediately lit up after it was lit. I saw that the tomb was the size of a palace, and the walls around it were full of brightly colored murals, and in the middle was a high platform that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and there was a stone step to lead to the platform, and the ground on the other three sides was full of large and small boxes, about 300 boxes. Dozens of bronze coffins were placed neatly and orderly around the high platform. Some bronze coffins have a heavy patina, mottled in color, and have been left for at least a hundred years.
Lao Zhangtou glanced at the stone statues of soldiers in the row behind the coffin, and said in surprise: "Hey, the outfits of these stone statues are not like the Gaochang soldiers at that time, pour. It's like my Ming Janissaries. Tan Mian also wondered: "It's really my court's attire." Suddenly, I heard the charm in shock: "This... How is this possible. ”
I saw that he was looking at the mural on the wall stupidly, and he was deeply shocked by the mural. I saw that the mural on the west side painted that above the court, a young man wearing a yellow robe with a crown of gold silk beads on his head sat on a dragon chair and accepted the greetings of a hundred officials. On the north wall, there is a painting of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, a scene of two waves of Ming soldiers fighting, and on the west wall, a palace is on fire, and a man in black quietly slipped out of Nanjing City surrounded by four red-clothed guards. On the final south wall, a middle-aged man stands on a wall of yellow sand on all sides, watching the construction of the city.
"Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen is not dead!" exclaimed. He looked at the burial chamber in surprise and said, "This... This is not the joint burial tomb of the koji-style royal family at all, it is the joint burial tomb of Huizong and his descendants, and it is also the royal tomb of my Ming Zhu family!" Nangong Yu was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect him to be so curious about royal affairs.
Wei Mei ran to the first coffin in the east, squatted down and looked at the inscription on it, "Zhu Fuming, the eldest son of Shizu Yunwen, the eldest grandson of Taizu, gentle and filial piety, generous and courteous, inheriting the legacy of Shizu, the great cause of Guangjiao, and the prosperity of Gaochang." He likes to read, and he is diligent and thrifty. married Princess Loulan and had three sons and four daughters... After reading it, she was stunned, thinking that the temple number of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen was not "Huizong", how could a "Sejong" come out? He went to see the inscription on the second bronze coffin. It is written that Zhu Jizu, the eldest son of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest grandson of the second generation of the Taizu, Yishuang Haoda, proficient in martial arts, like bow horses, good friends, familiar with the art of war, 27 strands of thieves and thieves, there is the wind of the ancient generals. . . . ”
Wei Mei looked around and found that only the eldest son of the descendant line was buried here, more than a dozen coffins were not fully filled, and the inscription on the coffin of the tenth bottle of Zhu Ce was only engraved with a name, and there was no record of his life, and the same was true of Zhu Yu in the eleventh bottle. Wei Mei looked up at the high platform and said slowly: "Zhu Yunwen's Wang Chu is on it, but I didn't expect him to change the koji-style royal tomb to the Zhu family." ”
Tan Mian looked embarrassed, if it was a koji-style royal tomb, it didn't matter if he overturned the entire mausoleum, but the people lying here are the relatives of the emperor today, and the royal coffin in the high platform is the grandson of the great grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di was dissatisfied with the cutting of the domain, and the name of the rebellion was only "Qingjun side", but Zhu Yunwen was not convicted of any crime, and he was given the temple number, ranking above the ancestral high hall, although he was acting on orders, but after all, it was a big taboo, the emperor was moody, I don't know if he will be blamed after knowing.
At this time, Lu Zhongjing and He Qiuhua casually opened a few boxes on the ground, and immediately looked at where the stupidity was, they had never seen so much wealth in their lives. All the chests were filled with gold and silver ingots, and gold and silver circulated unhindered in both prosperous and troubled times. Even if it's just silver ingots, each box is calculated at 50,000 taels, these 300 boxes are fifteen million taels of silver, and now the empty treasury of the Ming Dynasty does not have one-tenth of it, what a huge fortune this is, just move out a few boxes, and the funds of the Tongtian Gang within ten years will not be a problem.
Wei Mei saw Tan Mian's thoughts, and said: "As long as we do what we want, the emperor will not blame, we will only take the Fire Dragon Ball." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu He and the others, and said, "As for what the others want to take, it has nothing to do with us." Tan Mian nodded and said, "What Mr. said is, but where is the Fire Dragon Ball." Wei Mei glanced at the high platform and said, "That kind of holy relic must be placed in the most honorable place, and it must be in the coffin of Emperor Huizong." Tan Mian said: "Then we have to open Emperor Huizong's coffin?" Tan Mian said: "Yes, please go up with me." ”
The two of them came to the high platform first, knelt down respectfully, and bowed three times and nine times to the high platform. Then slowly walk on stage. On the platform is a bottle of beautifully decorated bronze coffin, the four corners are four kneeling servant stone statues, Wei Mei looked at the inscriptions on the coffin, determined that this is Zhu Yunwen's coffin, and once again bowed to Tan Mian three times and bowed nine times, and then got up to open the coffin.
Watching others open their ancestors' coffins, Nangong Yu didn't feel good in his heart, but he didn't have any ability to stop it. He thought to himself that this place was located under the ground of Keham, and Kan Changlong and the others should be above, but they were blocked by the blood sacrifice gate, and it was difficult to enter. Since they hadn't blown up the tomb, the only possibility was that they would have gone out through the door of Hamburg and set up an ambush outside.
Wei Mei and Tan Mian were startled the moment they touched the coffin, the coffin turned out to be hot, and the fire dragon ball was really extraordinary. I heard that the flame of the Fire Dragon Ball is very large, and if you open the coffin, will the entire tomb be burned?
The two carefully lifted the lid of the coffin, and saw that the coffin inside was a high-quality golden silk nanmu, and the coffin lid was carved with nine yellow dragons in brass, symbolizing the identity of the owner of the tomb. I touched the coffin and felt the heat even stronger. Tan Mian said: "The villain was ordered to take the Fire Dragon Ball, and I hope that His Majesty Huizong will not blame him for his disrespect." After speaking, he and Wei Mei lifted the lid of the coffin, and the funeral goods in the coffin were even more rich and precious, but the two of them didn't even look at it, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In the coffin was a skeleton wearing a yellow robe of the Tengyun Python Dragon and a crown of gold silk and pearls, which Zhu Yunwen wore on the day he ascended the throne, and he was also brought into the coffin. What shocked the two of them was that the skeleton had a shining ball of fire in its mouth. The light of fire came through the skull's eye holes and mouth, making the entire skeleton look eerie and terrifying, as if it could sit up at any moment. Both of them knew that that thing was the Fire Dragon Ball, and it could ignite a raging fire anywhere, and there was nothing safer than putting it in the mouth of Zhu Yuanzhang's own grandson.
The question is how to take it out, the five fingers were immediately covered with a layer of frost, the nails became longer and pale, and he tried to pry open the skeleton's mouth and take out the fire dragon ball, who knew that the hand just poked into his mouth, "whew" A sky-high flame came out of his mouth, and the charm hurriedly withdrew his hand, but his fingers were still burned by the flames, he was startled, and hurriedly transported the cold, and a cold smoke rose from his hand and extinguished the flames. He had palpitations, and he didn't dare to touch the fire spirit bead with his hands anymore, but took out a round crystal jar from the backpack behind him, the bottom of the jar was a layer of black powder, he opened the lid, took out the water and poured it into the crystal jar, the black powder in it immediately turned blood red after fusing with water, and the water also turned into blood water, and it also carried bloody gas. After the blood filled the crystal jar, he shook it slightly, stirred the black powder inside, and then handed it to Tan Mian to hold. He looked at the skeleton for a long time, couldn't think of a way to take out the Fire Dragon Ball, and said, "Your Majesty is offended." As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and pinched off the neck bone of the skeleton, carefully picked up the skull with both hands, and said to Tan Mian: "The commander can catch it, and we will burn it if we miss a little." ”
Tan Mian said: "Understand." Saying that, he put the crystal jar under the skull, and the charm also lowered the skull, flipped it over, and as soon as he pried the cheekbones, the fire dragon ball fell from his mouth, and at the moment it fell, there was a raging fire with a "bang", but before the flames could rise, it was extinguished by the blood in the crystal jar. Wei Mei breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the lid to seal the crystal jar, and took it from Tan Mianshui's hand to watch. I saw that the fire dragon bead was still glowing with a faint golden light in the blood water, and the streamer in the bead floated gently like a cloud, as if it was a spiritual creature.
Tan Mian hesitated when he let go of the crystal jar, but still let him take it, and said, "I don't know what the black powder in this jar is? Wei Mei smiled and said, "I don't know, this jar was given to me by Liu Gong bus, and it was used to load the Fire Dragon Ball." Tan Mian changed color slightly and said: "Is it the father-in-law Liu of the celebrant supervisor?" ”
Tan Mian was secretly surprised, when Wei Mei came to see him, he had a letter of introduction from Dongchang, thinking that it was a helper invited by Dongchang with a lot of money, and it was also the eyeliner placed in Jinyiwei, but he didn't expect Liu Jin to also teach him face-to-face. Liu Jin is his top boss, why don't you give the crystal jar to herself, but give it to him? It seems that the relationship between this Wei Mei is deeper than he thought, so he said: "I don't know if I brought the crystal jar back to the capital, or sir?" The future of the command is bright, and this opportunity to make meritorious contributions is handed over to you. As he spoke, he handed the crystal jar to Tan Mian. Tan Mian was overjoyed, and then said, "Thank you, sir." As he spoke, he put the crystal jar in his backpack and carried it on his back.
The two walked down the high platform, and saw that Lu He and He Tongguang took out all the things in their backpacks and replaced them with a bag full of gold ingots. The ten gangsters they brought with them all died early in the corridor, and the two of them could only take as much as they wanted. Tan Mian pretended not to see it, came to Lao Zhangtou and said, "Take us back, and you will have an extra thousand taels when we go back." ”
Before Lao Zhangtou could speak, Wei Mei suddenly smiled and said, "Wait a minute, does the commander think it is necessary for those three people to stay?" Tan Mian knew that he was talking about Nangong Yu, Ouyang Ye and Zhu Shu. The latter two were killed, but Nangong Yu was of great use in the ancient tomb. Then he said, "Keep the small ones." "I think so too." ”
Ouyang Ye showed his scorched wood knife and sneered: "Grandpa will drag you to the funeral even if he dies." Nangong Yu moved and said loudly: "Don't do it, only I can take you out." ”
