Chapter 13 January [-]th
Breaking free from the struggle in the dream, my eyes were full of Huang Yun's shadow, I forgot, forgot what I dreamed, and only remembered Huang Yun's face.I started sweating more than I've ever sweated in a dream.I suddenly felt guilty, inexplicably guilty, because I thought of Lu Bai.

I woke up early with Haunting of the Tomb on my mind.I carefully recalled the scene when I went to "Ghost of the Ancient Tomb" twice before. The few tombstones on the homepage actually have no special content. Only the last Ming and Qing tombs have "You are getting closer and closer to her." ".The "Ming Tombs", "Dingling Underground Palace", and "Qingxi Mausoleum" in the ancient tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are all introductory words."She's waiting for you" appeared only after opening the "Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty".Among the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty are "Xiaoling", "Jingling", "Yuling", "Dingling", "Dingdongling" and "Huiling". "Xiaoling Mausoleum" is blank, while "Jingling Mausoleum", "Yuling Mausoleum" and "Dingling Mausoleum" each contain a portrait of a Qing Dynasty emperor. In "Dingdong Tomb" is a middle-aged woman dressed in Qing court.In the last "Hui Ling", there is another young emperor, and the words "she is in the underground palace" appear, and then enter the underground palace and start playing the maze game.

Why must it be placed in the "Hui Tomb" in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in the ancient tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties?There must be a relationship between them, maybe we can get some clues from here.In "Ghost of the Ancient Tomb", there are detailed introductions to other ancient tombs, but there is no introduction to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty except "she is waiting for you".

So I entered a well-known search site, typed "Eastern Qing Tombs" and started searching.Sure enough, I found some text introductions——

"The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty is located in Malanyu, Zunhua, Hebei Province. It was built in the 18th year of Shunzhi (1661), covering an area of ​​2500 square kilometers. The entire mausoleum area is centered on Changrui Mountain. The mausoleum area is about 125 kilometers long from north to south, and east to west. It is about 20 kilometers wide. It is composed of 5 imperial tombs, 4 rear tombs, 5 concubine gardens, and 1 princess tomb. Shunzhi (Xiaoling), Kangxi (Jingling), Qianlong (Yuling), Xianfeng ( Dingling), Tongzhi (Huiling) and other emperors and concubines such as Ci'an and Cixi (Dingdongling). The whole mausoleum area is centered on Xiaoling, and the mausoleums are arranged on both sides. Its jade hall, painted pillars and carved beams, Magnificent and magnificent. From the stone archway at the southernmost part of the mausoleum area to the top of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, on this 5-kilometer-long Shinto path, there are Dahongmen, Shengde and Shengong stele pavilions, stone statues, Yuenmen, The buildings such as the Yan'en Hall and Fangcheng Minglou are solemn, elegant, and majestic. The Yuling Mausoleum of Qianlong is a treasure house of sculpture art. In addition to the ground, the walls and coupons in the mausoleum are all made of granite. Patterns. There are mainly eight bodhisattvas, four heavenly kings, five Buddhas, five offerings, eight treasures, and Buddhist scriptures with tens of thousands of words in Sanskrit and Tibetan. All these carvings have clear and smooth lines and vivid images. Although there are many patterns, But the arrangement is master and follower, integrated and unique. The mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi is also very distinctive. The stone railings around her En Hall are engraved with patterns of dragons and phoenixes, water waves and clouds. The stone in front of the hall is openworked. The technique, with the dragon on the bottom and the phoenix on the top, constitutes a scene of dragon and phoenix playing with pearls, just like real dragons and phoenixes flying and dancing among colorful clouds, which can be called a masterpiece among stone carvings."

"The four emperors Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Guangxu were buried in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty in Yi County, Hebei."

"Xiaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Shunzhi. It is said that Shunzhi abdicated in his later years and went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, so the tomb is an empty tomb. In fact, Shunzhi was cremated after his death, following the traditional customs of the Manchurians, but after that, all emperors of the Qing Dynasty gave up. Instead of cremation, it was changed to the burial of the Han nationality. Therefore, the ashes of Shunzhi are buried in the tomb of Shunzhi, and there are basically no burial objects. Because of these legends, this tomb without treasures was found in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty 200 years later. In a series of catastrophes, he escaped the tomb robbers again and again and was safe, becoming the only tomb among all the tombs of the Eastern Qing Tomb that has not been robbed."

After reading these, I began to understand why the gate of the first "Xiaoling Tomb" I saw in "Ghost of the Ancient Tomb" was blank, and there was nothing. It turned out that there were only ashes and no bones inside; The portrait of the emperor with piercing eyes seen in "Yu Ling" must be the majestic and generous Emperor Kangxi; The owner of the tomb with the same name as the emperor's Dingling Tomb is Emperor Xianfeng. He should have been in his prime when he died, so he looked younger than the previous two portraits; then, the one seen in the gate of "Dingdong Tomb" The middle-aged woman must be the Empress Dowager Cixi, no wonder the eyes are so sharp, giving people a sense of fear; in the last "Hui Ling", it is the emperor Tongzhi, the son of Cixi, who seems to have died at the age of 20. It's a willow disease, so the emperor in that portrait is so young, as if he was still a half-grown child.There is an underground palace in every emperor's tomb, why does "she is in the underground palace" appear in Tongzhi's tomb?I just can't understand it.

I suddenly remembered a domestic movie I watched in the past. It was about a group of warlords who dug up Cixi’s tomb to steal treasures during the Republic of China, and it was adapted from real events.Some other books also mention this warlord, Sun Dianying, who used explosives to blow up several tombs in Dongling and made a fortune.I started searching again, and it took several hours to sort out the scattered information, so that I got a rough idea of ​​what happened——

In July 1928, Sun Dianying, a down-and-out warlord, led the army into the mausoleum in the name of suppressing bandits. It took seven days and seven nights to use explosives to open the two underground palaces of Qianlong and Cixi, and the buried treasures in the underground palaces and coffins The looting led to a major case that shocked China and the world. It can be said to be the largest tomb robbery incident in human history.There are also some sensational details. More than a month after the tomb robbery, when the investigators entered the Eastern Tomb, they saw a tragic scene. In the underground palace, Cixi's body was lying on the coffin board, with her upper body naked (obviously stripped naked by the soldiers who robbed the tomb) clothes), only a pair of underpants are left on the lower body, and the socks are almost taken off.The whole body was moldy, and white hairs were growing on her face. In order to get the luminous pearl in her mouth, Sun Dianying sent someone to cut the corner of Cixi's mouth with a bayonet. In short, she almost scared people to death.In Qianlong's underground palace, there was a total of one emperor and five empresses, and all the bones were dug out. Poor this romantic son who was known as the "Shiquan old man" and was regarded by Westerners as the greatest monarch in the world was treated like this by later generations. It is a pity that his tomb contains calligraphy and paintings. The ignorant soldiers only know how to steal treasures, but do not understand the value of artworks. As a result, these priceless treasures are trampled under their feet and destroyed.

Maybe this is retribution. Cixi harmed countless people in her life and pushed China to the brink of extinction. She enjoyed all the glory and wealth during her lifetime, but she was thrown out of the coffin less than 20 years after her death, stripped of her clothes, and it is said that she was raped by soldiers .From another point of view, if it is true that God has eyes, evil will be rewarded with evil, it is the hand of the wicked to control the wicked, which is called "fighting poison with poison".As for Emperor Qianlong, although he is infinitely beautiful in folklore, and became a kind father in the popular TV series of Qiong Yao, in fact, in real history, he was nothing more than a tyrant who promoted the literary prison. "Great age" is nothing but China's last flashback.

I continued to search for a while, and the information I could find on the Internet was actually limited, and it was all here. Most of it was repetitive, and there was no more detailed content.I thought about it for a while, and thought again of the things I saw in "Ghost of the Ancient Tomb". Why is the most important thing in Tongzhi's tomb?It should be said that among the tombs of the emperors in Dongling, because Tongzhi died too early, his Huiling is the most inconspicuous and roughest.It's not enough just what I found, there must be something missing, does that "she" refer to Cixi?Or someone else, I have to figure it out.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, and I felt a little chill in my heart.
