Masterful appearance

After experiencing the dangers of the Ten Palaces of Hades and the Nine Palaces, almost everyone believes that there will be surprises waiting for everyone behind the heavy stone gate.

In fact, there is a surprise, but it is gratifying but not yet.

Behind the stone gate is another stone room about the same size as the stone room. The inside is covered with a thick layer of dust, and there are cobwebs everywhere. It can be seen that this place has been silent for a long time.

This stone room is a mess, a dilapidated scene, with large boxes piled up everywhere, which is easily reminiscent of the legendary Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

But…….

The boxes are all empty.

The brass lock on it has traces of being pried open by humans, and you can easily find jewelry scattered on the ground, just like the huge sapphire in Yue Leiting's hand now.

But Yue Lei Ting couldn't laugh at all. Judging from his many years of experience in tomb robbery, it was obvious that someone had come here earlier, and everything in the stone room had already been looted.

Yue Leiting gasped for breath, and violently smashed the sapphire in his hand to the ground.

"Damn it, I worked so hard to find this place, but it turned out to be empty."

Chu Tianci was somewhat disappointed, and sighed heavily. If this is really where the Ming Tombs are located, it would be too late from the current situation. Chu Tianci doesn't care about the gold, silver and jewels inside, but Jiutian Yinlong will definitely is no longer here.

Thinking of his promise to Wu Zetian and Qin Weijie's aggressiveness, Chu Tianci leaned against the wall and sat on the ground with a tired face.

Although Yue Qianling was also very disappointed in her heart, seeing Chu Tianci's appearance made her heart ache. If it wasn't for Chu Tianci, she might never have arrived here. When she pinned all her hopes on one thing, the result was so disappointing , Whoever changes it will collapse.

"Don't be like this. Although the treasure is gone, at least we have proved that the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty really exist. You have contributed a lot to this point."

Chu Tianci looked up at Yue Qianling and smiled gratefully.

"It's proven so what, an empty treasure has no meaning."

Liu Hao still didn't give up, and led his men to search around in the stone room. Xiao Lianshan also looked back and forth. There was a platform by the wall of the stone room, which was polished very finely, carved from white marble, and there were three arrows erected on it.

When Xiao Lianshan wiped off the dust on the body of the arrows, the three arrows actually shone with dazzling golden light under the light of the flames.

Xiao Lianshan was delighted to see that these three arrows were actually made of gold, he pulled out the three golden arrows with all his strength, and said happily.

"Brother, here are three more arrows, pure gold."

After Chu Tianci came in, he was always a bit disappointed. Hearing Xiao Lianshan's words, he immediately stood up from the ground and said loudly vigilantly.

"Don't move anything in the room!"

Xiao Lianshan stood there in a daze, seeing Chu Tianci's nervous expression, he was at a loss while holding the three golden arrows.

When the three arrows hit the white marble arrow stand, with a low and loud noise, the stone door that had just entered was closed immediately, and after a few loud noises came from outside, everything returned to calm.

"This... why is the door closed, how do we get out?" Liu Hao said in a panic.

"It was Lianshan who triggered the mechanism. Now the stone gate is locked, even the entrance we came in just now is closed. We can't go back." Yue Qianling said anxiously after pushing the stone gate hard.

Yue Leiting unbuttoned his clothes, took a deep breath and said with a wry smile.

"That's all right now, people die for money and birds die for food. I didn't find the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that my life is going to be here today. It's a pity that I hurt you. I really shouldn't involve you all in this way." Come in."

Qiu Nuo looked at the closed stone gate and at the golden arrow in Xiao Lianshan's hand and said in surprise.

"It doesn't make sense? If someone has been here before, these three golden arrows are also very valuable. Why didn't they take them away at that time? Could it be that the person who came in earlier knew about this institution?"

Gu Anqi thought for a while and shook her head.

"Zhu Yuanzhang left the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty to later emperors. The emperors who came in must have known about this institution. Therefore, it should be the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who came to take things in advance and retreated unscathed. However, Chongzhen did not touch the Fourteenth Tombs of the Ming Dynasty. Ling, it should be someone else who came in, and it is impossible for others to know about this institution."

Chu Tianci had walked back and forth in the closed stone house several times, and suddenly said meaningfully.

"We came in from the underground palace of Daci'en Temple and walked all the way to the present. Roughly, the distance between here is several hundred meters or even longer, and we came in all the way down, which means that we should be in the deep underground now. Place... are you feeling dizzy?"

"Dizziness?!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then shook their heads to show that they didn't feel dizzy.

"Since you are not dizzy, it means there is air here." Chu Tianci said casually. "There's still air a few hundred meters underground...."

"I know!" Qiu Nuo also thought of something and said excitedly. "If you want to build a stone chamber at such a deep ground, you must first build a secondary ventilation pipe, otherwise there will be no air in the construction here, that is to say... there should be an exit here."

"There's still an exit?!" Yue Lei Ting was originally hopeless, but when he heard that there was still an exit, he immediately regained his energy and said to Liu Hao. "What are you still doing in a daze, tell them to look for it quickly."

"Brother Ting, don't move things in the room!" Chu Tianci hurriedly stopped and said seriously. "Zhu Yuanzhang designed the mechanism to prevent other people from entering. Now that we are trapped, we will look for a way out everywhere. Zhu Yuanzhang must have thought that if other organs are touched again, since it is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who entered, Zhu Yuanzhang will burn everything here. "

Yue Lei Ting also agreed with Chu Tianci's words and put his hands down.

"Brother, how about...how about I put the arrow back." Xiao Lianshan said at a loss.

Gu Anqi stared at the arrow in Xiao Lianshan's hand and whispered.

"Qiu Nuo is right, the people who came in took other things, why did these three valuable golden arrows stay?"

Chu Tianci stared at the closed stone door without looking back, and suddenly asked meaningfully.

"Three arrows... Lianshan, do you see if the words Caitian, Qutian and Natian are engraved on these three arrows?"

"Brother, there really is, how do you know?"

"This is not an ordinary arrow, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's military talisman!" Yue Qianling said in surprise after hearing this.

"Soldier Talisman?"

Chu Tianci nodded and said calmly.

"Back then when Zhu Yuanzhang restrained the soldiers of the Nine Routes, he used golden arrows instead of military talismans because of the constant fighting. Later Xu Da led the army and held three of the arrows in his hand, which were Caitian, Qutian and Natian."

"Why is Xu Da's soldier talisman here?" Gu Anqi asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I don't understand either. After Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, the Golden Arrow Soldier Talisman was abolished. The later Soldier Talismans were specially made. Why are there these three arrows here?"

Chu Tianci slowly turned his head and said thoughtfully.

"These three arrows made Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor! Without these three arrows, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to build Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah? What... what does this mean?" Yue Qianling asked in surprise.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's last stop in Dingjiangshan was to attack Jiqing. Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the troops to attack Jiqing in three ways, and the general who commanded the army was Xu Da. Zhu Yuanzhang said that the soldiers and horses in his hands should be handed over to Xu Da for restraint, and he used three arrows as evidence. , Xu Da took ten days to break through Jiqing, and changed Jiqing to Yingtian." Chu Tianci said slowly.

"I know this, it's the same as what was recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but what does it have to do with Zhu Yuanzhang proclaiming himself emperor?"

"In troubled times, whoever has soldiers and horses is the king. Although Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing, he suddenly realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake."

"Wrong, what's wrong?" Xiao Lianshan asked.

"...Soldiers and horses! Zhu Yuanzhang has no soldiers and horses in his hands, and the three arrows that command the military power are in Xu Da's hands." Qiu Nuo Bingxue was smart enough to understand, and said lightly. "Xu Da is a handsome talent, and he has soldiers from all over the world in his hands. If he has a rebellious heart, it is possible to change his master and surname."

"There is no record of Xu Da's rebellion in history?" Yue Qianling said in surprise.

There are reliefs engraved on the walls of the stone room, and it is easy to see that they are the battles that Zhu Yuanzhang fought in his life, which clearly shows Zhu Yuanzhang's life like a documentary.

Chu Tianci said calmly while looking at the reliefs carefully.

"Xu Da didn't have it, but it doesn't mean Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't think about it that way, so after capturing Jiqing, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang to send three things to Xu Da overnight."

"what?"

"Golden sword, golden seal and golden clothes!" Chu Tianci said.

"This... This is the etiquette when ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor. Only the emperor can have these three things. Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu Da these? Does he want Xu Da to be the emperor?!" Yue Qianling asked dumbfounded.

Chu Tianci looked at the relief sculpture intently and said calmly.

"Of course not. Zhu Yuanzhang followed the example of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and released his military power with a cup of wine. It means that if you Xu Da wants to be emperor, I will give you this world. Of course, this is a polite word. Xu Da understood Zhu Yuanzhang's mind at that time. Did not say, let Li Shanchang bring back one thing, Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied after seeing it, changed the name of the country to Hongwu, and proclaimed himself emperor."

"And this! Then what did Xu Da ask Li Shanchang to bring to Zhu Yuanzhang?" Yue Leiting asked curiously.

Chu Tianci slowly raised his hand, pointed at something on the relief and smiled relaxedly.

"This is it!"

Everyone gathered around and looked in the direction of Chu Tianci's finger. There was actually a broken arrow carved in stone hidden in the relief. In the relief of soldiers and horses intersecting tens of thousands of people killing each other, this broken arrow was cleverly hidden. It's impossible to find without looking carefully.

"Broken Arrow?" Everyone asked in puzzlement.

"Xu Da broke the three arrows in front of Li Shanchang, which is the same as destroying the military amulet. Let Li Shanchang bring it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also shows that he has no second thoughts." Chu Tianci said with a faint smile. "This is also the reason why Xu Da finally died well in the founding fathers."

"I still don't understand, what is the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang leaving this here?"

Chu Tianci smiled and said calmly.

"Because no one has been here before. Everything is an illusion arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang. Only the later emperors know that Xu Da sent back the Broken Arrow. It is impossible for outsiders to know, because it is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach. He will not want others to know. I am narrow-minded."

"Since this is an illusion arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, it means... there are... other things behind this stone chamber?" Yue Qianling asked excitedly and nervously.

Chu Tianci didn't answer, and pressed the broken arrow carved in the stone with confidence, and the tightly closed wall on the back of the stone room slowly opened.
