Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 571 Lanting Jade Stone Carving

Professor Xu also looked puzzled, and Lao Yan suggested to go in and have a look to find out. This palace is obviously a tomb. If Empress Changsun is really there, there must be a coffin inside.

If not... Lao Yan jokingly said that the water ghost he just met might be Empress Changsun.

I just felt chills in my heart. Although he was joking, I still think it is very possible.

"Chang'an, you go in with me this time." Kunbu turned his head to look at me, and then challenged Lao Yan, which meant that it was fine for me to go in with him, and the others were waiting outside.

Lao Yan's face was not good, and he said that he had just issued an order, it is best for everyone to be together, so that the rescue can be done in time.

But Kumbu said firmly that there was no need, he and I went in to find out, but we didn’t go too deep, and we would come out soon.Lao Yan thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in embarrassment. It's okay to talk about it, but if there is anything wrong, you must come back quickly, and don't check it yourself.

"Okay!" Kombu nodded, agreeing.

Only then did Lao Yan wave his hand and let us in.

Kumbu raised his chin at me, and I followed him slowly towards the palace. I was in a state of agitation. I didn't understand why Kumbu insisted that he and I go in. If we talk about combat power, there are no injured children. Obviously more appropriate.

I am still thinking about it, but Kumbu has already opened the gate of the palace.

The whole palace seemed to be undefended, there was no chain on the door, and it could be easily pushed open.

I hurriedly followed. Fortunately, Kumbu didn't close the door this time, so I felt relieved.Looking back after entering the door, Lao Yan was looking at me, then he raised his hand slightly, with his thumb in it, and waved the other four fingers lightly.

My heart skipped a beat -- he told me to be careful of Kumbu.

What the hell happened between the two of them?
Before Kumbu entered the house, although there was some conflict between him and Lao Yan, they were still very harmonious on the whole, and now the two have completely distrusted each other.

I didn't say anything, just turned my head and followed Kumbu slowly into the palace.

gorgeous……

When I entered the palace, my first reaction was gorgeous, the magnificent ceiling, the rich murals on the walls, and the coffin made of emerald. I can’t think of other words besides gorgeous.

"Kunbu, look at the coffin." I took a general look at the palace, only to feel that there were no traps of this specification except for the gorgeousness. It looked like the eldest grandson queen fell asleep in her bedroom, and This coffin is her gorgeous bed.

Kumbu was watching the other side, but he didn't come when I heard my shout, but beckoned me to look at the reliefs on the wall.

Embossed?

I just took a casual look, and didn't find any reliefs.

I immediately became interested, and stood next to Kumbu, only to realize that the reliefs he mentioned are very deeply hidden!The wall was originally just colorful murals, and it looks very simple. It seems that it should be an interesting story of the Tang Dynasty court, and the reliefs are hidden in the murals.

The colors are integrated with the murals. If you don't reach out and touch it, it is difficult to find that there are reliefs in such a place.

I stretched out my hand and stroked it slowly, and a picture appeared in my mind: a beauty lying down, no, there is a child beside the beauty, a child about one or two years old.

The positions of the two of them are very strange. The beauty is lying down. Logically speaking, the child should be in her arms, or close to her upper body, but the child is crawling at her feet, which seems very strange. humble.

One or two-year-old children know humbleness?
Even in the strictly hierarchical Tang Dynasty, a one or two-year-old child would not be so humble. I have to suspect that this is intentionally done by the craftsman who carved the relief, in order to reveal something with this special detail.

I told Kumbu about my idea, and he agreed with me very much, but he said that I didn't think carefully enough.

"According to historical records, Empress Changsun gave birth to seven children for Tang Taizong throughout her life, and she gave birth to the youngest princess one year before her death. This child may be that princess." Kunbu explained.

I can't agree with it, how can anyone let their daughter crawl at their feet?
Kumbu smiled: "You are still young, and you don't understand the normal state of a child. You seem to be crawling, maybe it's just the eldest grandson leading the child to play. But no matter what, such a relief is hidden There must be something foreshadowed in the mural, look around for other clues!"

I hummed, and searched carefully around the palace according to his idea.

But unlike this magnificent palace, there are almost no valuables in it, and there are even no funerary objects, except for a coffin, only some jade stones are pressed in the corners around it.

Tang Taizong liked jade very much. Whether it was under the side hall or his wife's tomb, there were a lot of jade in it.

I secretly wrote it down in my heart, and was about to inspect the coffin when something suddenly caught my eye—in the southeast corner, there was a piece of jade that was not the same color as the other jades.

Huh?
I leaned over suspiciously, put on my gloves and carefully pulled out this piece of jade from the pile of jade, and then took out the magnifying glass to study it for a while, and was suddenly shocked.

"Kumbu, come and have a look!" I yelled.

Kumbu immediately came over and asked me what I found?
I excitedly pointed to the jade in my hand, gave him the magnifying glass, and motioned him to see it for himself, he curiously moved over to it with the magnifying glass, and then his face changed.

"This...is the Lanting Collection Preface?"

His voice trembled, evidently in disbelief.I calmed down, and calmly said that it is true, but "Lanting Collection Preface" is obviously not this piece of jade, but the entire article of Wang Xizhi can be engraved inside the jade, and this piece of jade itself is also invaluable.

Kunbu also nodded excitedly, turned over the jade carefully, then took out a box from his arms and slowly put the jade in, saying that there might be clues related to the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface" hidden in it, and took it out Let Professor Xu take a look.

I thank you, even if I can't see anything, this is an object comparable to American treasures, both in history and technique are very remarkable.

"Open the coffin?"

I watched Kumbu put the jade away, and after I wandered around the palace again and found nothing, I looked at him inquiringly. Only by opening the coffin could I verify the reason for the blank on the door plaque.

Kunbu stared hesitantly at the coffin made of jade, and after a while he asked a question that made my hair stand on end.

"Which one of us do you think has been swapped?" His voice was full of mystery, coupled with his originally cool tone, it sounded like my hairs were all standing on end.

I looked at him depressed. I suspected that there was a plan in the team to hide from me, and the object of my suspicion was concentrated on Lao Yan, because it was not the first time he was hiding someone.

Kumbu exhaled, saying that he suspected that the Faceless Man hadn't left after all.

"Impossible!" I retorted immediately.

Kumbu fed them poison, and as long as they didn't seek death, they couldn't come back. Besides, we watched Liu Hanqiu go, and we stayed together afterwards, so there was no possibility of letting them drop their bags.
