That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 649
In front of the gate of the cemetery on the ground of the Meishan Ming Mausoleum, led by His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by Zhang Baisui, Qin Mumian, and Xiao Zhinan, a group of four came here, and Xiao Ping stayed in the camp of the Mausoleum Guard Army to preside over the overall situation, in case Qu Chang'an's Chinese army invaded.

Since the first emperor of Zulong, there have been custom-made six seals, which are divided into the emperor's three seals and the emperor's three seals according to the difference between the inside and the outside. The fate of heaven, the longevity of the emperor" is the horoscope, and this is the jade seal used for ordinary imperial edicts.

His Majesty the Emperor held the jade seal in his hand, and nine dragon-shaped golden auras visible to the naked eye circled around the four of them. They never fell into the scene of "Huangquan Road" and were able to enter the cemetery directly through the main entrance of the tomb.

It is said to be a cemetery, but in fact it is no different from a city. It is surrounded by two walls of white jade, forming a pattern of two cities inside and outside. There are all kinds of jade gods and beasts on display, which are lifelike, not angry but powerful.

The main hall here is very similar to the Ganquan Palace, the emperor's bedroom in the imperial city of the imperial capital. His Majesty the Emperor came to the gate of the main hall along the main Shinto path. Instead of rushing into the hall, he stopped and stood there. When he first succeeded to the throne, whenever something went wrong, he would come here alone and tell his parents here, but as he got older, he didn’t come here very often. Come on, it has been almost ten years.

Xiao Xuan said slowly: "After the Ming Mausoleum is opened, a 'Road to the Underworld' will be formed around the entire mausoleum, leading directly to the interior of the mausoleum. On the contrary, this mausoleum has become a safe place."

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Father wants your daughter to stay here?"

"I have already made a mistake once, and I will not make it again." His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said, "I am confident that I can still protect my daughter. Later, Zhinan, you will follow me into the mausoleum."

Xiao Zhinan hummed, his face was calm, neither sad nor happy.

His Majesty the Emperor stepped into the main hall. The hall was a bit deserted and gloomy. After burning a stick of incense, he stood still with his hands behind his back, looking at his parents' spiritual seats and muttering silently.Now he is over half a hundred years old, and he has a son and a daughter under his knees. He is no longer the young man who was sheltered by his parents under his wings. It's just that this time he played chess with his uncle Xiao Jin. Still had to come to this Meishan Emperor Mausoleum, and once again hid under the wings of his parents, this made Xiao Xuan, who was already the emperor, somewhat uncomfortable.

However, this emotion did not stay for too long. After a moment of silence, His Majesty the Emperor said again: "It's almost time, enter the mausoleum."

Zhang Baisui flicked his robe sleeves violently, and the layers of curtains hanging in the hall fell, revealing a stone wall with nine dragon reliefs behind it.

Xiao Zhinan raised his head slowly, and his eyes stayed on the dragon wall. The nine dragons twisted and entangled with each other, baring their teeth and claws, with different expressions and postures, fighting for a precious orb.

What a picture of Nine Dragons playing with pearls.

Xiao Zhinan remembered that there was also a dragon wall in the imperial palace, but without this bead, it was just a Kowloon. Is there any mystery behind this extra bead?
Zhang Baisui stepped forward a few steps to the dragon wall, then tapped lightly on the bead, and the orb sank deeply.

I saw that the nine dragons that were tightly entwined were slowly disintegrated, the entire dragon wall was divided into two, and two stone gates appeared in front of the four of them.

There are four seal characters on the left and right of the gap between the two stone gates, "The fate of Haotian, the emperor's longevity".

Both Xiao Zhinan and Qin Mumian couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

Xiao Xuan was not surprised at all, he stepped forward and raised the jade seal in his hand, the horoscope on the jade seal perfectly matched the horoscope on the door.

In the shocking sight of the two, the two stone doors revealed a vision, and saw eight seal characters shining brightly, and then slowly disappeared, and then the two stone doors opened automatically after a creaking sound. , Rao was surprised by Qin Mumian's extensive knowledge, and subconsciously said: "Seal the door with human luck, and the non-human emperor can't hold the jade seal inside?"

After the stone gate was opened, it was vaguely visible that it was a passage leading to the underground. On both sides of the passage were terracotta warriors and horses holding weapons. His Majesty the Emperor walked straight into it, followed by Zhang Baisui. After a little hesitation, the two women also followed into it. in.

After a while, the stone door was closed again.

The length of this passage is unknown. Apart from the terracotta warriors and horses on both sides, there is a long-burning lamp every ten feet or so. Connected into a line, countless.

Xiao Zhinan didn't have a deep impression of the late emperor, because she had never met the emperor's grandfather, and all she knew about him came from other people's descriptions, but when she actually came to the tomb where the emperor's grandfather was buried, there was a This kind of indescribable feeling, saying that the emperor is the only one who respects me, but in her opinion, the emperor is also different from the emperor. Take the Emperor Shenzong of Zhengzheng and Emperor Ai of Zhengzheng as examples. Since the death of Zhang Jiangling, Emperor Shenzong has been in power It is a clear proof that with one will, 23 troops can be mobilized for the northern expedition to the grasslands. On the other hand, Emperor Ai has been coerced by Emperor Wuzu and Emperor Taizu of his dynasty since he ascended the throne. Even if he married his aunt Xiao Yuyi, he still wanted to become a "fearful" emperor, and the word "puppet" was a perfect description.

Xiao Zhinan sighed. Although the father is no better than Emperor Zheng Ai, he has not reached the height of the late emperor. When the late emperor was alive, no matter whether he was a Daoist or a grassland of the Wei country, he was honest and did not dare to make any changes. The world can indeed be said to be Haiqingheyan, and it is no wonder that the reign name was changed to Taiping ten years after Huanglong.But after the father succeeded to the throne, the Blue-Han faction broke out immediately, and then the seemingly docile Wei Guohe and the grassland began to move around. The imperial court didn't say that it was precarious, but in the end there was today's disaster.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhinan couldn't help but let out another sigh.

After walking for about half an hour, two more stone gates appeared in sight. The difference was that there were two huge golden armored generals standing on the left and right of these two stone gates. They were three feet high and stood with swords.

These two golden-armored gods will be jointly built by Daomen and Tianji Pavilion. If the two gods are also regarded as a living person, it is roughly that Tianji Pavilion is responsible for the body part, and Daomen is responsible for energy and soul. As the No. [-] sect in the world, the profound background and various secret methods are the Tianji Pavilion inherited from the Mohist lineage. Not at all inferior to the warriors in the realm of the earth fairy.

The two gods have been missing since they were built. There are rumors that they were placed in the emperor's palace as guards, but they never thought that they were placed here by Emperor Xiao and became two "door gods".

As if feeling the aura of a stranger, the eyes of the two generals suddenly lit up with golden color, and then they looked at the four people like living people, but when they glanced at the jade seal in the hands of His Majesty the emperor, the two generals turned out to be Slowly knelt down on one knee, bowing his head to His Majesty the Emperor like a secular military general.

After a while, the two "persons" stood up slowly, still holding the sword in one hand, and pressing the other on the two gates respectively.

The next moment, the entire passageway began to vibrate violently, the dust fell rustlingly, the lights flickered endlessly, and accompanied by loud rumbling noises, the two stone doors, which were not only extremely heavy, were slowly pushed open by two generals with the strength of dragon elephants.

His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath, tightly held the jade seal in his hand with five fingers, and said softly: "This is the shortcut to the south that my father left me."
