The fruit of killing life

Chapter 68 Suzaku Bureau, the tomb within the tomb
chaos!
After entering this underground palace and seeing the layout, everyone's first impression was chaos.

The dizzying mess.

Under the light of a torch.

Some places of the tomb passage are wide, some places are narrow, crooked like a twist, but in Wang Yuan's view, it is more like the stomach of some kind of giant creature.

Because in his [Consider the Unclean] field of vision, there is no "clean" place in front of him at all, and there is a [weird] aura everywhere.

Moreover, it is upside down and tilted, the top of the head is the ground paved with stone slabs, and the original tomb roof is under the feet.

The ear chambers built on both sides have one opening obliquely to the upper left and the other to the lower right.

At intervals, there was a glazed lantern tied with a rusty iron chain on the ground, which was smashed upside down because it was upside down, leaving only puddles of black stains from the deterioration of the fuel.

Only the luminous pearls inlaid on the ground, on the wall, and above the head are still emitting a cold green light, but they are like dead eyes.

Obviously, before [Gongzheng] suddenly recovered today, everything here should be normal.

It wasn't until the power of [Strange] spread that the underground palace seemed to come alive suddenly, stretching fiercely.

Next to him, "Pangolin" Fan Zhang, as a Tufuzi with a long history of family education, saw more details:
"Something's wrong. The specification of this accompanying mausoleum is wrong. It's too big!"

As a mausoleum guard, Wang Yunhu was also no layman, so he nodded in agreement:
"Brother Fan is right.

Only six years after King Yili took control of Luoyang, he died at the young age of 26.

Even if the underground palaces of accompanying mausoleums were built from the beginning, even in the era when the national power of the Great Yan was the strongest, warlocks and Taoist soldiers were used to speed up the construction.

The scale of the nine mausoleums that accompany the mausoleum cannot be too large, as evidenced by the previous eight mausoleums. "

Generally, the tombs of princes and underground palaces above this level are built according to the residences of strangers, and they pay attention to "death is like life".

But building an underground palace purely by manpower is a huge project that requires countless money and food. Even in this world where Taoism is manifested, it is not a trivial matter.

"Although the tomb passages of the accompanying tombs in front are complicated and unreasonable, they are actually not large in scale, so we can break through two tombs a day.

But this mausoleum is completely different.

The height of the tomb passage alone is nearly one foot, and the decorations and carvings are also extraordinary. I would believe that this is a tomb of a prince.

Therefore, there is a high probability that this is a 'tomb within a tomb'. This is a large tomb belonging to the predecessors, but it was directly used by King Yili to make up the 'Xiaoshen Seizing Food Bureau'. "

Even a conventional princely mausoleum is usually only composed of one tomb passage, four stone gates and three main halls, and the main body roughly presents a "zhu" shape.

Although they didn't even enter the first portal, "Zhoumen".

But from the overhanging eaves on the gate and the kissing beast on the tile ridge, it can be seen that the specifications here may still be higher than ordinary royal tombs.

Just because of the age, there are no buildings on the ground, and it is impossible to tell the original ownership of this mausoleum.

"Let's go in and have a look and see clearly."

Fan Zhang, the son of the Tufu, put up the spirit of 12 points, and was the first to walk to the door of the "Guomen" as before.

Put your hand on the stone door, and use the strength gained from practicing the [League of Rats and Rats], or use spring force, or shake force, or force force, and after repeated testing, confirm that there is no killing mechanism on the door.

He also confirmed that there was only one door separated, and the tomb passage behind should still be facing forward, because he could clearly feel that there was still a heavy object firmly on the door.

"It should be the stone ball used to seal the tomb.

In the dynasties of Dayong before Dayong and Dayu before Dayong, the form of tomb-sealing stone balls was very common.

According to regulations, in the underground palace above the royal mausoleum, each tomb door has two doors, the door hinges are wrapped with copper, and they are installed on the copper sill.

Behind the threshold, two stone pits were dug next to the lower corner of the stone gate, and two heavy stone balls were placed a little further away.

When the funeral was completed and the stone gate was closed, the two doors did not fit together, and there was a gap of three inches in the middle.

Then, a long-handled iron hook was stretched in through the crack of the stone gate, and the stone ball in the shallow pit was pulled outward, and the stone ball rolled into the deep pit beside the gate along the small ditch dug in advance.

When the two sides fit together, they can just withstand the stone gate.

From then on, unless it is violently destroyed, the stone gate can no longer be opened. "

While explaining to the people behind him, Fan Zhang pointed to the uneven scratches on the ground and continued:
"The [Gongzheng] 200 years ago should have completely opened the existing mausoleum with Taoism, and restored it to its original state after rearranging it.

It's just a little strange, looking at the traces on the ground, the door was opened again about ten years ago, and the traces are still fresh. "

Hearing this, Wang Yuan was refreshed.

What would have been put in more than ten years ago?
The biggest possibility is that "Pantou" that I have been following! !

Naturally, Fan Zhang didn't know the inside story, and after thinking about it for a while, he was a little confused.

But he didn't care who had opened this underground palace, after all, even if the dead people in the tomb came out and walked around by themselves, it's not completely impossible.

"Unless we can move the stone ball in the air, we can only break the goal violently."

The voice just fell.

Without waiting for "Cui Tong" to show his holy personality, he commanded "Mr. One Eye Five" to steal the stone ball behind the door with the magical power of "Five Ghosts Move Mountains".

collapse--!
It was as if the bowstring of a heavy crossbow was trembling, and the Ma brothers, who were covered in the smell of corpses, did not move their legs like zombies, but they jumped up on the spot and slammed into the stone door.

The ground shook and the mountains shook, gravel splashed.

Body as fine steel!

Work hard like a cannon!

The two thick stone gates were smashed to pieces by the two Taoist soldiers.

Immediately, a corpse smell stronger than the two of them came from behind the door.

Wang Yuan's ears moved, and with his keen senses, he immediately caught the low roars behind the door.

Soon, everyone saw through the hole that pairs of blood-colored eyes lit up in the darkness one after another, walking towards the first "cover door" unsteadily.

Those with better eyes like Wang Yuan could even see clearly that it was a group of shriveled corpses holding shovels, hammers, chisels and ragged clothes.

"Craftsmen? The craftsmen who helped King Yili build this 'Xiaoshen Seizing Food Bureau' were probably buried here, and it became the first meal of [Xiaoshen Tomb] after the initial formation of the formation, right?
With the official "chaotian household" and various compensations granted by the imperial court, these people really died silently. "

see them.

The Ma brothers looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and walked through the first door at the same time.

With a flying kick, the two stone balls behind the door were directly kicked out.

Boom!

The two stone balls bounced continuously in the winding tomb passage like uncontrolled cannonballs, smashing all the skinny craftsmen along the way into stumps.

"Enter."

Everyone followed the Ma family brothers into the tomb passage.

Under the light of the fire, on both sides of this long and deep tomb passage with no end in sight, there are asymmetrical ear chambers one after another.

There is a line of seal characters engraved on the door of each ear chamber, which are:
Qifu, Tusikong, Junmen, Qingqiu, Youju, Zuoju, Changsha, Zhen.

And the top of each ear chamber seems to have drilled many deep hollows, ranging from one to thirty-two.

Wang Yuan was the most enthusiastic about the "things" in this tomb, so he couldn't help asking Fan Zhang and Lang Qi who were constantly observing around him:

"Brother Fan and Brother Lang, have you discovered anything?"

Fan Zhang's focus is on the regulation of tombs:
"There are colorful phoenix murals and peony decorations in the ear chambers. Generally, peony-colored utensils can only be used by queens, and begonia-colored utensils can only be used by concubines from the fifth rank and above.

It may have originally been a mausoleum for a high-ranking concubine, dating back at least 500 years.

And the original owner of the tomb may have been thrown into the wilderness after Yili Kingjiu took over the magpie's nest.

I just don't know if the treasure buried with a concubine is still there? "

A trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

Not only gold, silver and jewellery, but also treasures of Taoism and magic of Taoism are buried in a large tomb of this level, which is exactly the goal pursued by the Fan family in the past dynasties.

Lang Qi continued:
"This underground palace seems to respond to the sky, forming a formation.

The eight ear chambers correspond to the eight star officials of the seventh mansion 'Zhen Su' among the seven mansions in the south.

The four spirits of the sky, to square the four directions, 'Zhensu' is the tail of the southern Suzaku.

If my judgment is correct, as long as we continue to move forward, we may encounter Yi, Zhang, Xing, Liu, Gui, Jing, and the other six constellations in the south. "

Wang Yuan and Tao Xianniang couldn't help but their hearts moved.

They do know that the 'Six Beast Strange Style' used by the top-grade 'Pill Head' has the [Suzaku Chengfeng] that is most suitable for [Owl God Seizes Food]!
King Yili invaded this mausoleum and used it as a companion mausoleum, probably not on a whim.

At this time, the Ma family brothers standing in the front suddenly shouted:
"Wait, the corpses of those craftsmen are melting."

Wang Yuan followed the prestige, and saw those shriveled corpses, like heated wax, were slowly melting and seeping into the ground.

At the same time, the 46 people who went down to the tomb have all set foot on the tomb passage through the "cover door".

"alert!"

Wang Yunhu yelled just now.

Boom.
There was another tremor under everyone's feet, and then they seemed to be standing on a huge spinning wheel. There was a gap in the wall, and the tomb moved rapidly, some to the left and some to the right.

46 people were completely separated in an instant.

At the last moment when Wang Yuan left the place along the tomb passage around him, he heard Lang Qiji shout:

"This 'tomb within a tomb' should be a 'Suzaku Bureau'.

[Gongzheng] Moving the underground palace must abide by the laws of astrology.

If you don’t have the ability to break through mountains and break rocks, you can only follow the underground palace step by step, and go to the deepest first place, ‘Jingsu’, where we meet”

The scene in front of Wang Yuan changed suddenly, and Lang Qi's shouts also stopped abruptly.
