Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 540

I had been in the army for three years, and I liked the atmosphere very much, so I quickly became friends with them. I heard from them that they didn't know the specific mission this time. If you keep your mouth shut, there are only a few who know.

I nodded knowingly, that's fine, otherwise, after the mission is over, the people in this company will probably be scattered.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when the sun was in the middle of the day, Captain Lin fired a shot into the sky: "Let me put the tricks on the spot, let's go!"

The soldiers assembled quickly, and in less than a minute, everyone had packed their bags. Lao Yan and us were still at the front, and they followed behind. No one had any extra nonsense.

Lao Yan praised Captain Lin for getting better and better in leading the soldiers over the years, and the latter said with a wry smile that he was leading too well, and he didn't know how to retreat when encountering danger.

"It's like this." Lao Yan nodded, and gave me a half-hearted look. I was puzzled by him. When did I run into danger and didn't know how to retreat?
I shrugged my shoulders and let him see, then turned around and asked Yazai about where we were now.

Yazai let out a sigh of relief and pointed to the front. If there is no accident, he will be able to reach Zhaoling in an hour, but it is only at the bottom, and he does not know how long it will take to get up.

It's really a dead horse looking at the mountain... Zhaoling, which I could see when I was in the camp, has not arrived at the place after walking for a day and a night, no, I haven't even touched the edge yet.

"Don't worry, the speed will be fast when we get to the place." Lao Yan said in front.

I asked him why, and he said with a smile that he had already made arrangements. After calculating the time, the road should have been closed today, tourists could not come up, and the archaeological team also withdrew.After reaching the foot of Zhaoling Mausoleum, follow the path opened by the archaeological team, which will definitely save a lot of trouble.

What Lao Yan said was right, an hour later we stood at the foot of the Zhaoling Mausoleum, with tombs dug out on both sides, which looked extremely majestic as a whole.

A winding road was dug out along the mountain. Although it was narrow enough to walk down, it was much easier than walking in the forest.

"Tang Taizong really regarded this place as a royal palace." Professor Xu said with emotion, and then asked Captain Lin's company to stay with more than half of the company to stay in place, and the rest took seven or eight to follow us up the mountain.

The road here is narrow, and it doesn't make much sense for the entire company to go up. Commander Lin made arrangements very quickly, and the deputy commander led a team of troops to defend at the bottom of the mountain to prevent William and the others from touching it.Yun Qi and head Lin brought Lao Mao, Da Tou and four other brothers who were selected to follow us.

We climbed up the stairs, and Professor Xu kept explaining to us: "The flat land we see now is used to bury low-ranking concubines and court ladies. You see, there is no seal on this tomb, which is the tomb. Not a grave, and continue to serve the emperor's family in the underworld after death."

I looked at these tombs that were the same as ordinary people, and felt a little bit emotional. Speaking of which, the specifications of these tombs were probably not as good as ordinary people. After all, there was not even a tombstone. The feudal society really divided people into three, six, and nine grades.

Going up, you can see a pile of conical burials. The archaeological team dug out directly from the back of the tombstone, and preserved the prototype of the burial.Professor Xu said that these were the burials of the founding military generals and civil servants, such as Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Chen Yaojin, etc., and there are Xiangshan-shaped seals relying on these. Each tomb has a small burial pit, which is used to bury Such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Ashina Simo, Ashnadur and other higher-level civil servants and generals.

Professor Xu was extremely excited, saying that since the opening of Zhaoling, he had been looking for a chance to visit it, but there was no chance, and this time he finally got to see it with all his heart!

I know what he meant by no chance. He probably didn't want to deal with the archaeological team here, so he resisted not coming. Otherwise, with his current achievements, it would be too late for the archaeological team to fawn on him.

Yazai asked quietly: "Chang'an, do you think we are here to play?"

I smiled. After all, the surrounding tombs have been almost excavated by the archaeological team, so it makes sense to say that it is for fun.

When the night was about to fall, we walked to the top. Professor Xu's face was slightly dark, and he said that the highest standard here is the tomb of the prime minister Wei Zheng and the noble concubine Webster, and their tombs were built against the mountain.The next ones are Princess Changle and Princess Chengyang, who are descendants of the royal family. They are still being excavated, but it seems that they are almost finished.

"What about Li Shimin and Empress Changsun?" I asked hastily.

Professor Xu pointed to the two mountains that looked like buckets that were connected to us by a cliff, and said that if the direction was correct, it should be there.

I was stunned for a moment, carefully calculated the direction, and found that if we climbed according to the steel wire that the boy said, we might not be able to climb to the opposite side. If we could, how long would it be?

Even if each of us has the ability, we can't survive on such a long steel wire, right?
"How do we get there now?" I turned my head and asked Lao Yan at the side, only to realize that he had reached a place close to the cliff at some point, and he was climbing on the cliff in a dangerous posture, and turned his head to face the opposite Two big mountains.

I hurried over and squatted next to him, for fear that he would slip and fall.But my worry was obviously unnecessary. Lao Yan quickly climbed up, sat on the edge of the cliff, smoked a cigarette and looked at the bottom of the cliff, pointed to the two mountains on the opposite side, and then pointed to the bottom and said: Either make a detour from below, or pass from above."

"From the bottom. The tomb of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin is said to be magnificent, so it can't be built from the top of the mountain. The tomb is probably at the bottom." Professor Xu thought for a while and said.

But I shook my head and pointed to the junction of the two mountains: "No, it's there!"

"Huh?" Lao Yan made a sound from his nose.

I pointed to the sky, and the night had not completely fallen, but two stars had already appeared in the sky, one on the left and one on the right, echoing each other, and the middle of the two stars happened to be the ridge where the two mountains connected.

"It is said that Tang Taizong and Empress Changsun had a very good relationship, and they were buried together after death. According to my preliminary conclusion, this ridge is the common entrance of their tombs. As long as they get there, it will be done." I came together one by one. .

Head Lin was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he patted me on the shoulder proudly: "Let me tell you, my brother can come out of many tombs just by looking at it, and what he said must be the truth!"

I was confident at first, but I felt a little embarrassed when I was told that.

Lao Yan laughed and said: "There is no need to be embarrassed, you have learned the five techniques of qi-watching very quickly, fine, just follow what you said! It's just that it is a problem to get from us to the ridge."

I suddenly frowned: "I can only walk from the bottom of the cliff, can't I fly over?"

At this time, Professor Xu snorted suddenly: "Why didn't those archaeological teams excavate the entire Zhaoling Mausoleum all these years? It turned out that they encountered such a problem, but they didn't report it. It must be because they were afraid that other archaeological teams would come in. Take the credit."
