Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

We come to the building.

The three of them stopped to look up, and couldn't help but be awed by the majestic and tall palace gate.

To estimate, the first gate alone is about as high as a three-story building, made of white marble, with a ring with a beast face, and carved with a unicorn totem.

I am not very deep in the form of the carvings, I only know that it roughly looks like a Qilin beast, but I don't know what it means.

But I know that this must be the style of the Ming Dynasty.

If the white coat hadn't said that they were here to rob the tomb, I would have thought it was an ancient relic hidden in the valley, but since it is a tomb, the buildings on the ground would be serious.

Ancient tombs are permeated with strict etiquette.

The ancients believed that not only should one enjoy wealth and splendor during one's life, but one should also live in a private house after death, which should be determined according to one's status and status, and one should continue to enjoy happiness even after one goes to the underworld.This is also the reason for choosing a treasured place for burial. For ordinary people, they would pick a place in the field outside the village and bury the coffin with soil.

If you don't study it carefully, you don't think that this valley is actually very good in geomantic omen.There are mountains in front, and there are ditches in the mountains, like an "opening", and surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is exactly the "light in front, leaning in back, surrounded by left and right" in the study of geomancy. geographic location.

And since there will be torrents in the mountain we passed before, it means that there is water nearby, Feng Shui Feng Shui, naturally there is no lack of "water", the landform here symbolizes "gathering wealth and vitality." It is suitable for thick burials Treasure land.Of course, I couldn't understand it. Zhang Rui told me these things later.

Earlier, when I saw the corpse cave, I felt that the people buried here were not trivial.Now looking at the Feng Shui level here, it can be seen that the owner of the tomb must be an extremely dignified person.Just now I guessed that it might be a relative of the emperor, because another layer of buildings will be built above the underground tomb, and these are all tomb sacrifice buildings for people to worship.It's just that I feel that in this remote and hidden valley, it's not like a place for dignified burials for royal relatives, because it is impossible for anyone to come here to worship, so there is no need for tomb sacrifice buildings.

Besides, the building has to be said to be very strange.

When I saw the lifelike vertebrates on the roof, I had doubts.

I couldn't help asking: "Could it be that an emperor of the Ming Dynasty was buried here?"

It is not uncommon for the eaves of large palaces to be decorated with ridge animals that imply authority.The position, quantity and shape of the spine beasts are determined by their identity.So far, only the Golden Luan Hall of the Forbidden City has ten types of ridge beasts, and the number of general palaces is less than this.That is to say, "perfect and perfect", which is a symbol of imperial power.

Now that "Perfect" appears on the eaves of this building, people can't help but think that this is an imperial mausoleum.

"Hey, little brother, you have pretty good eyesight." The white coat said, "Then guess which emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be buried here?"

That's a good guess.I immediately had the answer in my head.

Ming Huidi Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Di, who was the vassal king in Beiping back then, revolted because the imperial court wanted to cut down the vassal. This incident was followed by Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty, but Zhu Di was luckier than Wu Sangui, and he succeeded.I make this comparison because the two emperors also have similarities. The mystery of Emperor Shunzhi becoming a monk has not yet been confirmed, and so is Zhu Yunqi.The difference is that Zhu Yunwen was seized power and usurped the throne after only four years as emperor, and his whereabouts were unknown after the famous "Jingnan Incident" in history. The location of his tomb is still one of the "Four Great Mysteries" in history.

But I feel that this answer contradicts one of my previous doubts.

If this is the mausoleum where the emperor is buried, the ostentation would be a bit petty, and there are none of the Shinto, stele pavilions, and towers that should be there.The location is also inappropriate.

What's more, with Zhu Di's temper, it doesn't look like he is willing to spend a lot of money to build tombs for others.

I said the answer, and the white coat showed a meaningful expression, patted me and said: "I tell you, a person who is more powerful than the emperor is buried here, but you should know less about it."

The white coat has a straightforward temper, and it is rare for him to say such intriguing words.I thought there must be something strange about it, knowing it might not be a good thing, so I nodded and sighed with the white coat.

The experience of almost dying in the cave and wormhole just now made us exhausted and miserable, but because we had to escape for our lives, we had to grit our teeth and hold on.Now that my legs don't feel like my own, and my head hurts like hell, I wish that there is a random door so that I can step home and jump into the bathtub to soak.

Sitting on the stone steps in a white coat, he repeatedly lamented that he was addicted to cigarettes and lost his pipe.I also want to smoke a cigarette to refresh myself, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it. The cigarette in my pocket has been soaked in water and has already turned into dried plums.

The irony is that no matter how the ancients tried their best to build a magnificent tomb, now we just use it as a pad for our buttocks. We sit on him, and we may have to mess with his tomb later.

This is extremely disrespectful to the deceased, and I feel a little uncomfortable, but I can't help it.

I still don't know if I can leave this ghost place alive. At this time, I actually miss that kid Shen Er a little bit.

I think that when Lao Tzu was suffering, this guy was probably drunk among the beauties.

Zhang Rui and Cao Pitou were busy moving a stone slab inside.

The white coat said that there used to be a tombstone in the same place, but they disposed of it when they came a month ago, and replaced it with a stone slab to seal the entrance when they came out.

I was bored and looked around blindly, I couldn't walk anymore, but my eyes could still see.

Actually, I want to take a closer look at "Master Long".

Zhang Rui and the others mentioned this person many times. The word "Master Long" can be described as thunderous, so I will inevitably be curious.But I didn't expect that this young master Long was the one who carried me on my back when I was unconscious.

I turned my head and saw this man was leaning against the stone pillar at the door with his head bowed.I looked carefully and found that he was sleeping with his eyes closed.

This was really unexpected, because Zhang Rui and the others were busy inside, and I thought he was with them at first, but I didn't expect him to be lazy like us.

But seeing that he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, remembering what Zhang Rui said in the corpse cave, I curled my lips, feeling a little sorry for this comrade.

I am a writer, but at this time I can't say what words to use to describe this person.It can only be said that his age was beyond my expectation, because Zhang Rui and others called him "Master", I thought that anyone who could be called "Master" should be of a certain age, but I didn't expect that he was about the same age as me.

And there is another point that is more intuitive, that is, there is a person who is clearly visible to the naked eye, but it is as if there is nothing.

This description may be strange, but that's how I felt at the time. This person was as quiet as air and had no sense of existence. If I hadn't looked specifically for it, I might not have found him there.

As for the rest, I have nothing to say.

After all, I don't know anything about this person.

After Zhang Rui and Cao Pitou worked together to remove the stone slab, the entrance below was exposed. When I went over to see it, it was another hole.

"Our flashlights don't have much power left, don't turn on the lights, we'll take turns." After Zhang Rui finished speaking, he looked up at Young Master Long.

Zhang Xiaoge gave people the impression that he was arrogant and independent, and he was also very assertive along the way, but his expression seemed to be asking for advice.

Little Master Long woke up at some point, stood behind us, and nodded slightly.

"Where are Cheng Jun and the others, are you waiting?" the white coat asked.

When he said this, I finally understood why Zhang Rui and Cao Pitou looked outside from time to time when they were moving the stone slabs, probably waiting for the big troops.

Our group originally consisted of a dozen or twenty people, but now there are only five of us here. The flash flood washed away all of us, and the whereabouts of the others are unknown.We have been resting here for a while, but no one shows up again.

Zhang Rui asked Young Master Long: "Is there any other way to the tomb?"

Young Master Long closed his eyes, his expression was as cool and indifferent as a ladle of clear water, it couldn't be said what it meant.

He shook his head.Both the white coat and the turf head sighed, and I felt like a stone was blocked in my heart.Although those people have nothing to do with me, human life is priceless after all, and the lives of more people who accompany the dead in the ancient tomb are worth it or not, probably only those who live in it are qualified to judge, I am I can't understand this kind of behavior that regards money as life.

As I said before, after all, these people are not short of money, unlike the Tufuzi who have to go to sea to make a living.

And I, the one who was forced to follow in, was really a sinner.

"Can't wait, life or death is their fate." Zhang Rui showed a cold-hearted side at this time, and said, "Follow me closely, and don't touch me everywhere after entering." After all, the first one jumped down.

To be honest, I just came out of the hole, and I really didn't want to go into the hole again.But the white coat yelled, little brother, you are awkward again, kicked me down with my big foot, and this time my nose was on the ground.The laughter of Sodhead beside the hole is endless.

"...Old Bai, can you kick people lightly!" I said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect your bones to be so light, and you can fall down when you push."

"Haha, little brother, you should keep fit, how can you have a body like yours!" Turfhead laughed heartily, but it sounded harsh.

I thought to myself, my mother's standard is a well-proportioned body, if this doesn't work, it's hard to be like a pig!

The white coat was giggling and still apologizing, without any sincerity.Grinning my teeth in pain, I got up depressed, and suddenly I smelled a strange fragrance.

The fragrance is faint, like agarwood in a temple.

This scent is too familiar.I looked up in the direction of the fragrance and saw that Young Master Long had just passed by me.

I raised my eyebrows.

A certain popular character written by a well-known writer in the world of tomb robbery novels has a nickname called "Poor Oil Bottle". I think I came across an incense burner. I don't know if it also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects. If so, this It is very useful in ancient tombs.
