Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 836

There are no traps in the tomb, it seems that his test has ended in the burial pit.

The bronze dragon gate is just a copper lock, and the key is hidden under the door. It is said to be hidden, but in fact it is better to say that it was thrown to us directly.

I gently unlocked the lock, and pushed the door open with Lao Yan.

A huge coffin loomed in front of us.

"This is not the regulation that princes and kings should have." Professor Xu sighed.

The gopher on the side also nodded, saying that even if this regulation is not enough for the emperor, it is almost the same.

I frowned, first there was a grand funeral, and now there is a carving of a four-clawed flying dragon, plus regulations that are close to the emperor's coffin, could it be that Liu wanted to rebel?

I suppressed the doubt in my heart, scanned the coffin, and found that there seemed to be a mechanism on the coffin.

Yazai confirmed my guess, saying that there is at least a layer of glazed fire on the top.

Glazed fire... I have seen the power of this thing before. It can burn tomb robbers who come into contact with it in an instant, and it is not easy to use water to extinguish the fire.

I looked away from the coffin. The main tomb is not small, but there are not many things inside. Ten bronze figures in the shape of maids are sitting or standing on both sides of the coffin, and there are some gold, bronze and jade objects buried with them.

"Look here!" Professor Xu turned away as soon as he entered.

I looked over quickly, and saw Professor Xu holding a pair of bamboo slips with an interesting look on his face.

"Professor Xu, what did you find?" I asked as I leaned closer.

Professor Xu laughed twice and said that you must be interested.

Afterwards he handed me the bamboo slips, but I was a little embarrassed, I was taught by Lao Yan to know the characters now, and I don't know any of the small seal characters on the bamboo slips.

Only then did Professor Xu realize something, took the bamboo slips back again, and then slowly said: "It records Liu Qu's life, alas, it is also a tragic figure."

Liu Qu is a great man who is elegant, handsome and intelligent. At the same time, he is also a prince and king in charge of a place of water and soil. I don't know how many people in the world envy him.But in fact, he was not happy. The reason why the emperor sent him to the fief was just to ask him to do one thing - to find the elixir of life.

The reason why he was able to mobilize local officials and spend a lot of money to train his own army of tomb robbers was only because he had the permission of the emperor to do all of this.

No, it should be said that he did all this for the emperor...

It's just that after many years, Liu Qu did not find any clues related to immortality, and there was no way to go to the ancient country of Changye, which he finally found.

Not only that, his consumption put a lot of pressure on the court, the treasury gradually ran out, and Liu Qu was impeached by other ministers.

The problem that could have been solved by simply stopping the tomb robbery had changed because of the emperor's face.

Although Liu did all this for the sake of the emperor, the emperor only silently supported him in order to maintain his image as a wise king of his generation.

So except for Liu Qu, everyone thought he was a cruel and immoral descendant of the royal family.

The emperor needed to give the world an explanation, so he fabricated the crime of indiscriminately killing concubines and exiled him.Even some dark methods were used during the exile, which made Liu Qu shut his mouth forever.

But the emperor also knew in his heart that he was sorry for Liu Qu. The treasury was in short supply not only because of Liu Qu's tomb robbery, but also because of years of wars.

But Liu Qu took it for granted.

Therefore, there will be a grand funeral after Liu Qu's death, and there will be a very high-standard coffin.

Even the 'Cold Corpse Jade Clothes' was bestowed by the emperor, all for atonement!
After listening to Professor Xu's explanation, I snorted coldly: "Everyone is gone. The emperor did all this just for psychological comfort. I really feel sorry for him. Why did he have to kill them all?"

It is nothing more than that he also thinks that as long as Liu Qu is still alive, his scandal will be leaked.

I sighed, no wonder Professor Xu said he is also a poor character.

Judging from Liu Qu's life trajectory, he does have a very high attainment in tomb robbery, and he wanders among various tombs all year round.It can be seen that he really helped the emperor find the elixir of life, but the latter chose to ignore his efforts.

I looked at the coffin. If all this was bestowed by the emperor, then would it be Liu Qu's arrangement that his coffin be buried here?

When he was dying, he finally realized that the king he was loyal to actually wanted his life, and he hoped that his life would be known to future generations.

After hearing this speech, everyone fell silent.

A notorious tomb robber king in history, but in fact he is just a poor loyal minister?
Such a reversal is really unacceptable for a while, and it also makes people feel uncomfortable.

With Liu Qu's ability, if he wanted to rebel, the treasures he got from the tomb alone would be enough for him to expand his army, but he either brought these treasures into the tomb or paid tribute to the court.In the end, he was exiled by the imperial court and died on the way to exile. I think he should be very unwilling when he died, right?

Tomb robbery, in fact, will not lose much, this is common sense in the tomb robbery world.

Tomb robbers don't open for three years, and they stay open for three years. Liu Quhe's methods are high, even if he goes short, he probably won't lose money.

I took a picture of the bamboo slips and handed them to Professor Xu. Professor Xu held the bamboo slips and was stunned for several minutes before wandering around in the main tomb again.

He said that this period of history is still not convincing, and he must find more convincing evidence.

I nodded. Although we know that this should be the real history, it would be unbelievable without more evidence.

Professor Xu looked for evidence, and our group began to study the paintings on the wall and the ten bronze figures.

The shape of each bronze figure is different, but they all have a common feature, that is, their faces are all blurred.

Apart from the identical nose, they have no other facial features, which look a bit creepy.

"This emperor has sinister intentions." I squatted in front of one of the bronze figures and looked at it carefully for a while.

The gopher asked me what I saw, and I said with a smirk: "Look, he was buried with him, and he was not accompanied by some good-looking maids. Liu didn't enjoy it for a few days when he was alive. There is no way to enjoy it, it’s really pitiful.”

boom!
The gopher curled up two fingers and tapped on my forehead: "Since when did you learn how to behave like a child?"

I shrugged my shoulders, and then said seriously: "Senior, I was joking just now, but I'm not joking now, take a closer look at the lamps carried by these maids, what's inside?"

These lamps are different from the ever-burning lamps outside. Legend has it that the ever-burning lamps are filled with shark oil, but the lamp in the maid's hand is filled with corpse oil.

Corpse oil can also be used to make eternal lamps, but it cannot be placed in the main tomb, because corpse poison will be released when the corpse oil is burned, which may lead to fraudulent corpses.

No one wants to cheat the corpse after death, so there would be no burning lamp in the main tomb, and corpse oil would not be used as the burning lamp.

The gopher also saw the strangeness of the ever-burning lamp, he pondered for a while and said, "That's not necessarily the case, maybe it was really arranged by Liu Qu himself, maybe he wanted to cheat the corpse to take revenge on the emperor?"

I knew he was joking, and I didn't take it seriously, just continued to stare at these court ladies.

The more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes. The gestures of these court ladies are really worth pondering.

Looking at me, I couldn't help but smile softly, and the gopher asked me what I was laughing at, and then I realized that I was laughing out loud.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't you think the gestures of these court ladies are all weird?"

The gopher took a look, but didn't see it, and then he pushed me, telling me not to laugh and say something quickly.

I groaned, then pointed to one of the maids and analyzed it carefully: "Look, what does she seem to be doing?"

The gopher looked at me suspiciously, and said you kid, don't make fun of me, otherwise I won't let you go.

I nodded and told him to look carefully.

He looked at it carefully, and then his expression changed: "It seems a little weird, she, she seems to be catching something with her hands, this..."

"It's catching rainwater!" I took his words.
