Tomb Raider: Opening mechanism, automatically stealing the empty bottle mountain

"Do any of you know the words on the stele?" Everyone was silent.

"Partridge Whistle, you don't know him either?" Partridge Whistle thought for a moment and shook his head.

Everyone looked at Gong Shuyang.

"Mysterious and mysterious, the Gate of All Mysteries, the Heavenly Palace of the High Heaven, and the Palace of Immortals." Gong Shuyang nodded slightly, and said slowly.

"What is inscribed here is the name of this bright building, and it was changed to Lingxiao Palace." "And this hall should be in the Hall of Immortals." Everyone nodded when they heard Gong Shuyang's words.

"It's a decent name. I'm afraid that Xian Wang's second child really wants to be a fairy!"

"He thought that by building a palace, he would be able to invite the gods to meet him, and teach him the secret technique of becoming a god?" Chen Yulou scolded with a smile.

"From ancient times to the present, which emperor did not pursue immortality?"

"Since Emperor Qin and Han Wu, many emperors have also known that immortality is just a dream, and life and death are inevitable for them. Although they are true dragon emperors, they can't act against the sky." "It is for this reason, The emperors hope that they can still enjoy the glory and wealth of their lifetime after death, so they are very fancy about the layout of the mausoleum."

The partridge whistle nodded and said.

"That's right, if they didn't covet the glory and wealth after death, how could there be people like us?"

Chen Yulou sneered, raised his foot and kicked open the palace door, which was only closed, not locked, and very heavy.

Chen Yulou's kick just opened a gap, and he kicked a few times in succession until the gap in the palace door widened.

Chen Yulou's subordinates stepped forward and took a look, only to find that there was nothing clear about the dark lights inside.

According to past experience, there are very few hidden weapons agencies in this kind of place, but this tomb of the king is different from the past, so it is better to be cautious.

Chen Yulou ordered several brothers to cover the formation with straw shields.

The brothers used grass shields to cover the vital points, and pushed the gap of the hall door wider. When they saw nothing, they turned around and nodded to Chen Yulou and the others. "Don't worry, there should be no mechanism."

Gong Shuyang forgot to take a look inside, and he could tell at a glance whether there was any mechanism hiding it.

Chen Yulou nodded, and then waved his hand, and everyone followed up and entered the hall together.

Although there were no hidden weapons in front of the door, everyone took out all the weapons for self-defense with extreme caution. The sunlight in front of the door could not be found in the hall, so they could only rely on Gongshuyang's mechanism beast to provide lighting.

As soon as I stepped past the high mahogany threshold of the (Qian Lizhao) palace gate, I saw dozens of stone statues standing on both sides behind the gate, the first of which were two mighty copper lions to ward off evil spirits. "The shape of these two lions is also very strange." Chen Yulou said.

"These two lions, one male and one female, represent different meanings."

"The lion on the left is stepping on the golden ball, which represents the supreme power of the emperor, and the lion on the right is stepping on the cub, which symbolizes the prosperity of offspring, which will last forever." Gong Shuyang explained.

The bronze platform on which the lion crouches is engraved with phoenixes and peonies.

"This copper platform as a whole has a meaning, that is, the king in the three realms, and the king Xian is the king in the world." Gong Shuyang said.

In ancient times, there was a saying of the four worlds, the lion is the king of beasts, the phoenix is ​​the king of birds, and the peony is the king of flowers, all of them are subject to the king of sacrifice.

Everyone saw stone lions before, but copper lions are extremely rare. .

Chapter 159 - Transforming into a Dragon and Reaching the Heavens! (Seek full order!

Chapter 159: The Mysterious Hall

Bronze lions were very rare in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but not without them.

But the strange point is not here.

"Do you think the position of the lion is not right?" Chen Yulou asked.

The pair of bronze lions were not placed in front of the temple gate, but placed inside.

Isn't the lion statue usually placed in front of the gate, guarding the tomb of the house?

I don't know why, but it just doesn't make sense.

Everyone turned around and found that there were Xie, Xie, elephant, Qilin, camel, and horse behind the lion. Each animal had a pair.

Behind the bronze beast, there are 36 portraits of generals, civil servants, etc. in total.

The corrosion of these bronze figures is also very peculiar, as if they were not wearing normal official uniforms in some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

These bronze statues surrounded the deepest throne in the temple like stars holding the moon. There is no doubt that the throne should be the King Xian. "Why is this palace different from the Minglou we have seen before?" "Bronze beasts and bronze statues here are really very rare." Chen Yulou asked.

"It shouldn't be surprising. King Xian of 857 pursued immortality, and after his death, he also hoped that these courtiers could still serve him." "There are also some bronze statues in some Qin and Han tombs, but the dynasties are different, and the methods of expression are different. .” Gong Shuyang explained.

Different dynasties have different shapes and systems, which are just the explanation of Gong Shuyang.

Chen Yulou felt extremely uncomfortable seeing these bronze statues. As for whether these bronze statues had anything to do with Xianwang's conspiracy, Chen Yulou couldn't figure it out.

When Gong Shuyang entered the Ming Building, he was also shocked by the huge scale and integrity, but he didn't show it.

In the area close to the border, that is, the barbarians in the ancient Southwest, it is not easy to have such a ostentation in the tomb of the king. In the tombs of the Tang Dynasty in the future, the treasures in them are in units of thousands of tons, and many tombs are not Knowing how big it is, it was destroyed early.

"This King Xian built such an extremely luxurious mausoleum for the sake of eternal life. He also didn't think about his descendants. He only wanted to live here forever and become a god." Partridge Whistle said.

The main hall here should be said to be the above-ground (ahbi) part of the mausoleum, not the tomb where the coffins are stored. Now it seems that there are no hidden weapons, which is actually normal, but there is no movement in this main hall, and it is also eerie.

Chen Yulou found in this hall that almost everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, but there was not a trace of damp and musty smell in the air.

This place has not been visited for at least 2000 years, and it can be preserved so well. It seems that this dragon halo is also amazing.

Everyone went into the depths of the hall, and they could see the throne inlaid with gold and jade.

There is a golden pool in front of the throne, but there is no white jade bridge in the middle.

The pool was not too narrow, and it had already dried up inside. With the light of the torch, looking from here, one could vaguely see a red jade dragon coiled on the throne, but it was hard to see whether there was a bronze statue dedicated to the king on the throne. "Why is this throne so far away from the ministers at the door?" "I feel different from others after I live forever?" Chen Yulou scolded.

"I feel that Xianwang is different from others at all." Partridge Whistle also said with a smile.

They then walked forward, jumped into the golden pool, and found that there was a wooden boat in the wings, but it was built in the shape of a lotus. From this point of view, King Xian had to take this lotus boat when he passed this pool before. "Leader, look, there is no bronze statue dedicated to the king!" Chen Yulou's people explored the way ahead and arrived here before the others.

After hearing the sound, everyone found that there seemed to be no bronze statue dedicated to the king on the throne, but it seemed unusual behind the throne.

Chen Yulou climbed to the back of the throne and lit it with a torch. There was a red jade dragon coiled on the throne. After being illuminated by the cupping pot, red light flowed inside. The jade dragon turned out to be hollow and filled with mercury. "What is the first half?"

The red jade dragon with hollow mercury is fairly easy to understand, but the first half of this jade dragon is somewhat unusual.

In fact, this jade dragon is not complete, the first half is pierced into the throne, and what is entrenched on the throne is only a part of the dragon's body including the dragon's tail.

The dragon's tail and two claws rest on the back of the throne, making it less solemn.

The front half of the entire Yulong is concave and convex with the back wall of the throne, and it is integrated with the painted paintings on the walls of the main hall, making the whole mural and the throne part have a strong sense of hierarchy. "The person who can design this hall must not be easy." Partridge Whistle sighed.

The design of this hall is amazing and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is very rare.

As the saying goes, "The dragon sees the head but does not see the end, but on this throne the tendency is only to see the end but not the end, as if the jade dragon is alive and flying into the mural.

On the wall of this hall, there is a large mural depicting the scene of King Xian ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal.

In the murals, the fairy clouds are all over the sea, the clouds and mists are shrouded, and the mountain peaks echo the palace, which is faintly visible and full of agility.

The red jade dragon raised its head upwards, trying to tear a crack in the sky. Half of the dragon's body had penetrated into it. The dragon's body was connected to the throne of the Lingxiao Temple. Step up to the sky.

The murals are still easy to understand. The man who climbed into the sky should be the King Xian. In the murals, he is much taller than ordinary people. He is wearing a round-necked wide boa robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head. a bead.

Partridge Whistle looked surprisingly at the beads on the mural. "What's wrong?"

"Could this bead be the Muchen Bead I've been looking for?" Partridge Whistle said slowly.

The King Xian in the mural has three long hairs on his temples. It is impossible to tell how old he is, and his face is not very fierce. It is a bit different from the King Xian in the minds of Chen Yulou and others.

In their minds, Xian Wang must be fierce and evil, the kind that ordinary ghosts and gods dare not approach.

In this mural, the image of Xian Wang should be artificially beautified.

At the highest point of the mural, there is an old man riding a crane, with white beard and eyebrows, smiling, looking down.

There are countless immortals behind him. Although they have different postures, their expressions are very respectful, as if they are welcoming the King Xian who is stepping on the dragon's body to ascend to the heaven.

There are two small murals on both sides of the murals, depicting the scene of offering sacrifices when the king ascended to heaven. The sacrifices were all human beings who were not burned in the bronze tripod. It's just two extremes. "There is no bronze statue dedicated to the king on the throne, so can it be on the top of the main hall?" Chen Yulou said, then looked up. .

Chapter 160 - Boiling Corpse Copper Cauldron! (Seek full order!

"Always hold your head, otherwise we should pry this jade dragon off, it should be quite valuable." "It's not in vain for our brothers to come here."

Chen Yulou's subordinates were a little tempted when they saw the jade dragon in this hall. Up to now, they haven't collected many very valuable treasures. After finally encountering such a jade dragon, anyone would be tempted. "What's the hurry? Since King Xian can build such a palace, it's impossible for him to be the only valuable thing."

Chen Yulou stopped his subordinates, there might be some mechanism in this hall, and the mercury in the jade dragon is definitely not there for the sake of looking good, there may be losses if you act rashly. "King Xian's desire to live forever is just his wishful thinking, how could there be such a thing as immortality?" Partridge Whistle said abruptly.

"Since we've arrived at this place, we should take a good look at the tomb of King Xian. I dare say that the murals and the golden crown on King Xian's head must be inlaid with Muchen beads!" Everyone knew Muchen It is a pity that the importance of the pearl to the partridge whistle is receding now~.

After some discussions, it was decided to search the Lingxiao Palace first, and then go to explore the tomb passages of the underground palace.

The Muchen Bead must be hidden in the artifact of the Underworld Palace, and the Partridge Whistle will definitely turn the Underworld Palace upside down. If the Muchen Bead cannot be found, then it is bad luck.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the palace was the core building for sacrificial activities and political activities. It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the palace was established separately as the residence of the emperor's front and rear.

As for the current Ming Tower, the apse should be a place for sacrifices, not a sleeping hall. There should be a genealogy of the King Xian and some inscriptions and murals in praise of his merits.

Everyone present has never seen what the real Qin Palace looks like, but this Lingxiao Palace should be similar to the Afang Palace in the Qin Dynasty. Although it is obviously smaller than the palace in the records, it may be in terms of luxury and construction It will be more powerful than the palace.

At that time, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was also No. 1 in pursuit of immortality. I'm afraid he didn't expect that, as the king Xian under him, the tomb he built was much more prominent than his Qin Mausoleum.

After searching the front hall, everyone turned to the apse.

Chen Yulou walked last, and before he came out, he took a look at the bronze lions and bronze statues in the main hall, and it was absolutely not right.

Chen Yulou didn't figure out why, but shook his head, turned around and walked forward, seeing Gong Shuyang's eyes meeting him. "Did Brother Gongshu notice something?" Chen Yulou asked.

Gong Shuyang shook his head to signal him to follow.

The front and back halls are connected by a short corridor. When everyone came to the back hall, they found that this place was more eerie than the front hall. Gong Shuyang looked up and saw the inscriptions in the corridor. This back hall is called Shangzhen Hall. Eight mural walls set up separately.

Although the apse is deep, it even looks a bit cramped due to the many murals in the forest of steles, but the layout is very reasonable. Obviously, King Xian has put his mind here.

The eight mural walls are arranged according to the Jiugong Bagua, and each wall is made of complete large bricks, all of which are painted in three colors on a white background.

These murals are one brick and one painting, covering one or two figures, or animals, buildings, equipment, and even some war scenes.

It can be said that it includes the politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, military and other aspects of the ancient Dian Kingdom in the Xianwang period.

These are priceless treasures for those who study the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom, but for Chen Yulou and others, they are really useless, and they cannot be moved out and sold as artifacts.

"There are so many murals here."

There are no less than thousands of paintings on the eight mural walls, and Chen Yulou took a rough look at them with a torch. "Look carefully, will there be a map of the underground palace?"

The partridge whistle is very patient, and it takes a few glances at almost every mural. "The murals here and the words on the stone tablets are the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom." "It is basically impossible to obtain a map," Gong Shuyang said.

There were a lot of wars in the ancient Dian Kingdom at that time, so a large part of the murals were depicting war scenes.

King Xian commanded two wars during his lifetime, the first was with the Yelang Kingdom, and the second was the scene where King Xian slaughtered the local aborigines at the foot of the mountain after he got rid of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Yelang was also a barbarian in the Southwest, and he had no threat to King Xian, so he won a complete victory in the two wars, captured a large number of prisoners, and captured a lot of spoils of war.

King Xian inherited various technologies from the Qin Dynasty, and the development of the country far surpassed the local aborigines in Yelang and Zhelong Mountain. Therefore, the two wars could be said to collapse at the touch of a button, and they were not opponents of King Xian at all.

0. ...... ask for flowers.

A large number of slaves were captured, and these people became the main force in the construction of the King Xian's tomb in the future, which are reflected in the inscriptions and murals.

Everyone searched around, but these murals did not describe the underground palace of Xianwang's tomb, although there was a wall depicting sacrifice scenes, the scene was so weird that it made people shiver.

Partridge Whistle leaned forward to take a closer look.

"Why are you interested in these weird things?" Chen Yulou asked with some disgust.

"The scene of this sacrifice is not an ordinary sacrifice, it should be related to Muchen Bead and Dushu."

"It may help me crack the secret of Muchen Bead."

After the partridge whistle finished speaking, he took out a small book and recorded some details of the sacrifice in it. "Take the lead, what do you think this is?"

Some younger brothers of Chen Yulou were searching around in the apse, and suddenly saw something surrounded by the eight mural walls. "It's a big bronze tripod." Gong Shuyang was the first to see it.

The eight mural walls are in the center of the apse, surrounded by a big six-legged bronze tripod, covered with a copper lid, and with a huge copper ring on each side. "You can see that the six legs of this bronze tripod are actually six and a half kneeling beasts." Chen Yulou said.

These six divine beasts are vigorous and simple in shape, and their bodies are covered with scales.He opened his mouth and roared, as if the bronze tripod was extremely heavy, and these bronze beasts were very similar to unicorns in terms of shape.

The whole body of this copper tripod was painted black without any pattern decoration. If someone hadn't walked in, they wouldn't have noticed this tripod at all, and it basically blended into the darkness of the apse.

"What is this copper tripod placed here for?" Chen Yulou asked.

"This apse is a place for sacrifices, and this copper tripod should be a large tripod for boiling corpses during sacrifices." Gong Shuyang said after taking a look.

"However, seeing that the top cover of this great cauldron is still sealed, it means that the ceremony of offering the king to become an immortal has not been fully realized." "Otherwise, there is no need to seal this giant cauldron." Son.
