There is a red jade dragon coiled on the throne.
When you look at it with your wolf eyes, the dragon's body suddenly shines brightly, with billowing red light surging.
It is actually full of mercury, but this "hollow mercury dragon" is not strange.
It is really attractive.
Ours is the front half of the dragon.
The dragon plunged into the wall, and what was entrenched on the throne was only a small part of the dragon's body, including the dragon's tail.
The dragon's tail and claws rested on the back of the throne, looking a bit lazy.
Most of the front part of the dragon body is inlaid on the back wall of the throne in undulating shapes, integrating with the paintings on the palace wall, giving the entire mural a strong sense of layering.
Its strange conception and exquisite craftsmanship are all outstanding.
Has reached the state of transformation.
People often say that "the divine dragon has its head but not its tail", but the dragon on the throne and the wall has its tail but not its head, as if this hollow mercury jade dragon is coming to life and flying into the mural.
The large mural combined with the dragon body depicts the scene of the king becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven.
In the painting, the fairy clouds resemble the sea, and smoke is lingering.
The stretching mountain peaks and palaces are looming in the clouds.
The clouds, mist, and mountain light are all full of agility.
The red jade dragon raised its head toward the sea of clouds.
A red gap opened in the sky, and half of the dragon's head had penetrated into it.
The dragon's body was connected to the throne in the Lingyun Palace.
A king was surrounded by his ministers, stepping on the dragon's body.
Slowly ascend to the sky.
This king is probably the King of Xian.
He is much taller than the average person.
He is wearing a round-necked and wide python robe, a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, and a bead embedded in the crown, which looks like a human eye.
He is clearly the king.
The appearance of Muchen Bead.
The king has three strands of long beard.
He cannot tell how old he is, and his face is not very ferocious.
It is different from what we imagined in advance.
I always feel that a tyrant should have a sinister face and a swollen beard.
However, the portrait of the king has a solemn and serene expression, which is probably artificially beautified.
At the top of the picture, there is an old man riding a crane.
He has a white beard and a smile, and he is looking down with his hands clasped.
There are countless immortals behind him.
Although their postures are different, their expressions are very respectful.
Welcome King Xian who ascends to heaven on the body of a dragon.
I was shocked to see it.
It turns out that the so-called collapse of heaven refers to the scene where the Immortal King attains enlightenment and becomes an immortal.
It is not about whether outsiders can enter the Xuan Palace and the Underworld Palace.
This matter must be extremely confidential.
It is difficult for someone other than a close confidant of King Xian to learned.
There are two small paintings at the corners of the large mural in the middle.
They are both scenes of the king offering sacrifices when he ascended to heaven.
The corpses were filled in the bronze tripod and burned.
The situation was so horrific that I didn't take a closer look.
The fat man said: "According to what is depicted in this mural, the King Xian should have gone to heaven to become a god.

It seems that we have missed the point.
The underground palace of the king's tomb is 80% empty.
I think we might as well carve out this dragon." , burn this heavenly palace again, go back as soon as possible to find a buyer to sell the jade dragon, and make a fortune, and then you can eat and drink. " Shiry Yang said: "No, this is just wishful thinking of King Xian during his lifetime.
How can it be possible for a mortal to become an immortal in this world?"
I also agreed with what Shiry Yang said and said to them: "We have reached the top of the king's tomb, why not go into the underground palace to fight?
Besides, have you seen the golden crown worn by the king in this painting?"
, that is the Phoenix courage that can save our lives."
The three of them discussed for a while and decided to first search the Lingyun Palace, and then find out whether the holes in the pool were the tomb passages of the underground palace, and then take action overnight.
In any case, seeing is believing, so they could only turn over the bright artifacts in the underground palace.
Again, if you still can't find the Muchen Bead by then, it means your luck is bad.
It's not too late to give up.
This is called doing everything possible to ensure destiny.
Before the Qin Dynasty, the palace was the core building that integrated large-scale sacrificial activities and political activities.
Until the Qin Dynasty, it was only established as a separate residence for the emperor who slept in the front and back.
As for the Ming Tower on the emperor's tomb, the back hall should be a sacrificial hall, not a sleeping hall.
There should be many inscriptions and murals praising virtues for future generations to worship and admire.
We have never seen what the Qin Palace looks like, but the Lingyun Tiangong should be similar to the Afang Palace in the Qin Dynasty.
Although the scale is definitely not as large as the Afang Palace that cannot be burned in March, it may surpass it in terms of situation.
I think that Qin Shihuang was also the first emperor among the ancient emperors to be the most dedicated to refining elixirs and cultivating immortality.
However, the first emperor probably never dreamed that his men would build a heavenly palace as a tomb, which was much more prominent than his Qin Mausoleum.
We had decided on the calculation, so we started to turn to the back hall.
I was walking at the end, and couldn't help but look back at the bronze man and beast in the middle of the hall.
I was still confused, and I always felt that something was not quite right.
Something said It doesn’t come out uncoordinated.
When I turned around, I saw Shiry Yang standing still waiting for me.
Her expression seemed to be thinking about the same thing as me, but I didn't realize what was wrong for the moment.
I shook my head at Shiry Yang and didn’t need to think too much for the time being.
Anyway, the boat would naturally straighten out when it reached the bridge, so we headed to the apse side by side.
After passing through a short corridor, we came to the more gloomy and dark back palace hall.
Looking at the inscriptions in the corridor, this second half is called Shangzhen Hall.
There are many inscriptions in the hall and eight separate mural walls.
Although the hall is deep, it still seems a little cramped due to the many stone monuments and painted walls.
However, the layout is quite reasonable.
The eight mural walls are arranged in the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams.
Each wall is made of large bricks, all with a white background.
Add three colors of paint.
In addition to some murals reflecting war scenes, there are almost one brick and one painting, or one or two figures, or two or three animals, buildings, and equipment, covering the politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, and military affairs of the ancient Dian Kingdom during the King Xian period. , religion, ethnicity and all other fields.
These may be priceless treasures for scholars who study chronological history, but they are of little use to people like me who are looking for gold.
I only hope to find some information about the situation in the king's tomb palace, but all of a sudden , dazzled by the sight.
There are no less than thousands of paintings on these eight mural walls.
Combined with the stone tablets and inscriptions in the temple, the whole is a complete historical material of the Dian Kingdom.
I held up the wolf-eye flashlight and selected one of the large murals.
After a few cursory glances and a few explanations from Shirey Yang, I was able to understand most of it.
The large murals are all war scrolls, recording the two wars commanded by King Xian during his lifetime.
The first was with Yelang Kingdom.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Both Yelang and Dian Kingdom were regarded as barbarians of the southwest in the Han Dynasty; the second war was with After King Xian broke away from the ruling system of the ancient Dian Kingdom, he massacred the local barbarians at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.
In both wars, they were completely victorious, killing heavy enemies, capturing a large number of prisoners of war, and capturing many items.
The two opponents at that time were still in the late stage of slavery, their production methods were extremely backward and primitive, and their bronze smelting technology was far inferior to that of the Dian Kingdom, which inherited the methods of the Qin people.
Therefore, they collapsed at the first touch and were no match for the Dian people.
There were a large number of slaves among the prisoners of war.
These prisoners of war and slaves became the main force in the construction of the king's tomb in the future.
Naturally, these achievements were exaggerated in the murals and inscriptions.
However, the murals still do not describe the underground palace of the king's tomb.
The paintings on one wall are all about rituals, including invitations to heaven, divination, witchcraft and other activities.
The scene is extremely strange.
Shiry Yang used a camera to take pictures of all these murals.
Maybe they will be used when deciphering the secret of Muchen Bead in the future.
When the fat man saw that the back hall was full of these things, he suddenly felt bored.
He was walking around with a submachine gun and a flashlight.
Suddenly he found something in the middle of the mural wall.
He quickly called me and Shiry Yang to go over and take a look.
It turned out that there was a six-legged bronze tripod standing on the ground in the middle of the hall.
The tripod was covered with a copper lid and had a huge copper ring on each side.
The six legs of the bronze tripod are six half-kneeling mythical beasts.
The shape is vigorous and simple, with muscles and scales all over the body, making a roaring look.
In terms of shape, it is very similar to a unicorn.
This bronze tripod was surprisingly big.
For some reason, it was painted completely black without any decorative patterns.
In the dark palace, we only noticed the inscriptions and murals, and it wasn’t until the fat man came closer that we could see them. , otherwise it would not be easy to find this giant cauldron blended with darkness.
The fat man knocked the urn body with the butt of 1a1, and immediately made a dull echo, and asked Shirey Yang and I: "Is it possible that there are too many exposed objects buried with them, and they can't be placed in the underground palace, so they are temporarily stored here to open them and take a look first."
That's right."
Shiry Yang said: "This is probably the big cauldron used to cook corpses during the ceremony.
The mouth of the cauldron is still sealed.
This shows that King Xian did not disintegrate his body and transform it into an immortal.
His bones are still in the coffin of the underground palace, otherwise there would be no need to seal it.
The mouth is huge."
I said to Shiry Yang and Fatty: "Who knows what this is for.
If it is a sacrificial vessel used to cook people, cattle and sheep for sacrifice, it should be a cauldron instead of a cauldron.
Besides, this is probably not a urn and cauldron at all."
Such a thing, how can a tripod have six legs?"
The three of them insisted on their own opinions, but could not convince each other, so they were ready to see what happened.
I took out the coffin-opening claw from the fat man's backpack, scraped open the fire paint sealing the mouth of the tripod, and saw a seal on the paint.
The pattern was of a criminal who had been chained through the lute's bones.
Since there was a seal, it meant that there was no such thing.
Never turned it on.
After scraping off the paint, he tried it with the inch needle on the top of the probing claw.
There was no longer any obstruction to the connection at the mouth of the tripod.
Then he called the fat man to come over to help.
The two of them grabbed the copper ring.
As soon as their arms exerted force, they heard Deep in the lifeless palace, there was a burst of laughter of "chuck, hey, hey, hey."

The voice sounded like a woman's, but her sinister and cold laughter definitely had evil intentions.
Her laughter was as ice-like as frost, as if it could freeze people's hearts.
How could there be a woman's laughter in the silent palace?
The three wolf-eyed pillars in our hands immediately shot towards that corner, and the cold laughter suddenly stopped, leaving only an empty corner with nothing.
The three of them were extremely shocked and speechless for a moment.
Even Shiry Yang saw beads of sweat on his forehead.
After a while, he asked: "What was that sound just now?"
I just shook my head and said nothing.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand to open the buckle of the carrying bag containing black donkey hooves, glutinous rice and other items.
At this time, the fat man also started to look nervous, because the blind fortune teller we found from the Shaanxi Shibei Shop would brag to us about his heroic deeds when he was defeated.
Although we didn't take the blind man's words seriously, there were a few words that we still say to this day.
Remember it clearly.
According to the blind man, these are a few words that were regarded as golden rules by tomb robbers: "Have a mound seal and touch the golden talisman to protect yourself from ghosts and blow out the lamp; the cellar coffin and the bronze coffin, don't approach if the characters are not hard; vertical burial pit, "Xiazi Tomb, moving mountains and unloading ridges to walk around; red clothes are fierce, smiling faces corpses, it is better to listen to ghosts cry than to laugh."
Later, I asked Shiry Yang that these sentences were not written by the blind man himself.
Sure enough, they were circulated in the old days and talked about several things more terrifying than zombies.
Finally, it is said that when you encounter a dead body wearing bright red mourning clothes, or a dead person with a smile on his face, it is a sign of great misfortune.
If your life is not strong enough, it will be difficult to see the light of day again.
Ghost cries can be found in many places.
Some people may mistake the howling of wolves for ghost cries, but that's okay.
The most terrifying thing is hearing the laughter of ghosts in the cemetery.
Only ghosts can laugh.
However, we had made mental preparations in advance.
In ancient times, gold-touching captains called encountering these unlucky things in ancient tombs called "black stars."
The black star is also called the "ghost star" in physiognomy.
When a mortal encounters the black star, the true fire of Samadhi on his shoulders will be extinguished, just like walking on a single-plank bridge over an abyss, and his life will be difficult to save.
The three of us were well prepared, even if there was a fierce ghost, we could deal with it for several rounds, so we calmed down and ignored the black copper cauldron for the time being.
We each held weapons and divided into three groups towards the corner where the laughter just came out.
Outflank the past.
There are many steles on the wall in the hall, and they are surrounded in circles.
It would be suitable to hide and seek here, but if you want to see clearly what is more than ten meters away, you cover up.
There was nothing in sight except the empty corners of the walls and the stone slabs on the ground.
The palace became dead silent again.
If it weren't for the cold laughter that was still in my ears, I would have thought that I had heard it wrong.
Shiry Yang asked me: "Old Hu, don't you often brag to me that you have fought many battles?
In practice, I am not as experienced as you.
When you encounter a ghost in an ancient tomb, it's up to you how to deal with it."
I am also confused now, thinking that this American girl wants to join my army, so I said to Shiry Yang: "When we encountered this kind of situation before and didn't know how to deal with it, we always mobilized the local people and turned the disadvantages into advantages.
The creativity of the people is endless, and they will definitely come up with a solution.”
The fat man was puzzled and asked me: "Commander Hu, there are only three of us alive in this barren wilderness, where can we find the people?"
I said to the fat man: "Who do you think you are?
Isn't your political outlook just that of the masses?
I am sending you to search the back hall of this heavenly palace and do everything possible to find out the laughter behind it, whether it is a ghost or not." , there are still spring wild cats Forget it, I'll leave it all to you.
I'm going to go check out what's going on in Tongding and ask Chief of Staff Yang to help.
Don't waste any time on both sides.

Maybe this is the enemy's plan to divert our attention away from Tongding.
Scattered on the tripod."
The fat man was not stupid at all, so he quickly said: "Why don't we switch, and I will use my strength to move the cauldron cover.
Lao Hu, don't you know me?
We guys just have these two arms, and we can't see or touch those things that we can't see or touch." things, but they have always lacked creativity.”
The fat man insisted on being humble, but I ignored him and turned around to go back and move the lid of the bronze tripod.
As soon as I turned around, I suddenly heard another sneer that made my hair tremble from the corner behind me.
The three of them were so frightened that they hurriedly Take a step back. 1a1, with one hand ready to dig out the eccentric objects in the carrying bag.
The cold and evil smile was fleeting, and there was nothing in the corner.
This was the last time he entered the palace, and there would be no secret rooms or secret passages.
I dared to go over and stomped the stone bricks on the ground with my feet.
There was no sign of movement at all.
Damn it.
Could it be that the ghost of the wife who presented the king was still lingering in this harem?
What did she want to do?
Shiry Yang and Fatty stood behind me, also frightened.
Although the palace hall is large, it has only one exit, rather than extending in all directions.
After all, this is the top of the Minglou, not a real palace.
To put it bluntly, it is just a show-off.
From the outside, it looks like there are thousands of layers upon layers.
There are thousands of households, but the structure inside is actually very simple, it is just a place for worship.
It's such a limited place, where does the laughter come from?
The less you can see it, the more unsure you are.
It's better to fight with the giant python and piranha.
Although your life hangs by a thread, you still end up having a good time.
Although the current situation is calm, it can't help but make people restless.
They keep thinking: "How can there be ghosts in the Immortal Cave?
But maybe only this kind of area with unclear yin and yang can have ghosts."
I simply stepped on the fat man's shoulders and climbed to the top of the stone tablet closest to the corner of the wall, hoping to look for it from a high position.
As soon as I reached the top of the tablet, before I could look down, I noticed a red light shaking above my head.
I immediately raised my head and shined a tactical spotlight on it, only to see a woman in red with long robes and long sleeves diagonally above my head, dangling silently above the dome of the hall.
There was no light on the top of the hall, and I could only see her lower body.
The upper part was hidden in the darkness.
I don't know whether it was hung by a rope around her neck or how.
We just paid attention to the ground in the corner, but never thought of looking at the roof.
I was horrified at this sudden look.
If my legs had not been firmly clamped on the top of the stone monument, I would have fallen headfirst off the stone monument.
I quickly lay down on the top of the stone monument and hugged the stone monument tightly with both hands.
Fortunately, I have gone through a lot of things in my life, and my psychological quality is relatively stable.
If the fat man were here, I would be so scared that he would fall down directly.
Fatty and Shiry Yang raised their heads to watch me move up there, and naturally saw the woman in red high up, but they were lower than me and their view was even blurry.
Even so, they couldn't help but feel pale and worried about me.
He kept urging me to get off the top of the stone monument first.
I didn't jump down immediately.
Instead, I looked up to see what was happening at the top.

As soon as I took a look, I broke into a cold sweat again.
All I could see was that there were no feet inside the red robe, and the clothes were completely empty.
They were pressed against the high corners of the hall, as if they were just empty clothes hanging in the air.
Where had the body gone?
The style of bright red women's clothes is completely different from the ancient women's clothes that I know.
It is not like Hanfu.
It is probably the condensed clothes worn by women in Dian when they died.
The blood-red clothes remained silent and motionless, and the weird laughter no longer came out.
I briefly explained the situation to Fatty and Shiry Yang under the stone monument.
Shiry Yang wanted to see more clearly, so he climbed to the top of the stone monument.
He sat in front of me and looked at the fierce clothes hanging in the air.
He said: "This clothes is very weird and the craftsmanship is very complicated.
It looks like a flash woman among ethnic minorities." , hags, or people like great witches among the barbarians wear witch robes.”
I asked Shiry Yang: "So it's not like the corpse is wearing a murderous suit, but does that laughter come from this suit?"
Shiry Yang said to me: "I'm not sure yet.
Let's take a closer look.
It's too dark up there.
Try it with your wolf eyes."
I took out the wolf-eye flashlight with a longer range, pushed the switch at the bottom, and a beam of orange light immediately shone up.
Only then could I clearly see the upper body of the red suit.
It was not empty, there was something on the raised collar.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a human head."
But maybe this female corpse had an upper body, but the rest of the body was hidden in the red robe. , the clothes are so wide that one cannot tell whether they are bulging or deflated inside, only the head and face on the shoulders can be seen clearly.
The female corpse seemed to have noticed that we were shining the wolf-eye flashlight on her face, and she actually shook her head slightly and turned towards us.
She had heavy makeup on her face and a sharp sneer came out of her mouth: "Giggle, giggle":
