Chapter 524: Unexpected, King Ming, who is extremely happy and sad(2/2)
Nine giant pillars, more than one foot thick and dozens of feet high, stand in the palace, like pillars reaching the sky. On top of the giant pillars, there are ancient murals.
There are also murals on the huge walls all around. The person who appears the most is Li Luoshu, followed by Queen Cui.
According to the rules of royal tombs in the past dynasties, regardless of whether there are remains or not, they all follow the official mausoleum specifications. In fact, most immortal emperors and immortals are tombs.
Because most of these people have become immortals, their bodies and souls have died, and not many of them have left their bodies.
There is another little-known rule: the content described in the murals in the mausoleum and palace is divided into two types of deeds: light and dark.
Ming deeds are the achievements and public events of the emperor during his lifetime. They are shown in murals mainly for commemoration, which is easy to understand.
What about secret deeds? They are secret things done by the emperor, things that should not be made public or even recorded during his lifetime.
These things had to be kept secret for various reasons. However, after the death of the emperor, they could be recorded on the murals in the tombs and underground palaces in the form of murals.
One of the things Jiang Yao is concerned about are these murals recording Li Luoshu's secret deeds.
He did not go directly because there were many corpses between the two outermost pillars.
Some have turned into bones, and some are still corpses.
There are also many corpses under the high platform in the middle of the hall.
These corpses were left behind by several groups of tomb robbers. Many of them had rings on their hands.
"Many of them killed each other." Jiang Yao pointed to the corpses on the ground, "Ajiu, have you noticed anything weird?"
"It's a poisonous realm." Ah Jiu nodded the snake's head, "These poisons are related to the sleeping lamp. They can make people kill each other."
"This poison domain is still functioning. Those who are not strong enough will die directly inside, while those who are strong will escape to the tomb passage and die."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Fortunately, we were prepared." After saying that, he picked up the ring and strolled towards the high platform in the middle of the hall.
"This woman's body is extremely well preserved." Jiang Yao squatted down and looked at the body of a woman in yellow clothes. After reaching over, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it still hot?"
This woman was obviously dead, and had been dead for many years, but she still had warmth.
She died after killing each other, with a sword stuck in her back. She was already dead.
"This has something to do with her martial arts." Jiang Yao took off the female corpse's ring and found that her hands were still very elastic. "Her blood should be from Yangming, so she died without becoming stiff."
Jiang Yao suddenly noticed that there was an extremely exquisite jade pendant on the woman's waist, with this dragon carved on it and a dragon character in seal script in the middle.
This is the family emblem and waist badge of a high-ranking member of the Wu family. The jade pendant with the character dragon indicates that she is from the Dragon clan and belongs to the direct lineage of the Dragon clan.
"Dragon valve..." Jiang Yao thought in his mind.
In today's true world, there is no such high-ranking clan as the Dragon Clan. However, more than ten thousand years ago, there was a Dragon Clan in the Eastern Region, and it was the most powerful force in the Eastern Region.
Dragon Burial Sea comes from Dragon Clan.
Could it be that this female corpse is of the same race as Dragon Burial Sea?
Jiang Yao carefully examined the corpse. Although he had no consciousness, he could infer that the female corpse had been dead for tens of thousands of years.
The immortality of her corpse for ten thousand years shows that she was very powerful during her lifetime.
Jiang Yao continued walking inside and found dozens of corpses, all wearing jade pendants with the family emblem of "dragon".
It seems that all the high-ranking figures of the Dragon Clan died here.
The time of death was similar to the time of Dragon Clan's demise, both thousands of years ago.
Moreover, the corpses of the Long family were all a little warm.
"Although they are human race, they have the blood of dragons." Jiang Yao thought, and checked a corpse again and concluded, "Unexpectedly, the Dragon clan and the demon clan Hai clan still share the same ancestor."
"No wonder Long Zhanhai's surname is Long." Jiang Yao understood.
Suddenly Ah Jiu said: "There seems to be writing under that corpse." She pointed at a corpse with her tail.
Jiang Yao walked over, removed the body, and saw four big characters written on the ground: No female seal.
"No female seal?" Ah Jiu was a little confused, "What does this mean?"
Jiang Yao immediately said: "What he wanted to write should be the words 'no demon seal'. But he didn't have time to finish writing, and the demon only wrote half of it and died."
Ah Jiu thought, it was indeed true. The character for female was written smaller, and should be half of the character for monster.
"So, they came here to find the demon seal." Ah Jiu said.
Jiang Yao smiled, "This is a legend. It is said that when Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Luoshu, died, he issued a demon seal and was buried with him in Gaoling."
Unexpectedly, the demon seal was hidden in Yunyin Tianxu, was obtained by Fenshan Jiuniang, and fell into her own hands.
"Who told the Long family that the demon-sealing seal was hidden in Gaoling?" Jiang Yao shook his head, "This may be a trap."
Jiang Yao collected all the rings and did not take care of the body anymore. Instead, he carried Li Sui's body and walked towards the high platform where the coffin was parked.
The closer you are to the high platform, the faster the antidote gas in the medicine bag on your body will dissipate. This means that the closer you are to the coffin, the more powerful the poison will be.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, among the tomb robbers who came here, the only one who could escape alive was Jiang Yao, a well-prepared Yaozhenren.
"What a powerful poison!" Jiang Yao looked a little solemn, "Thanks to us, the other person would have been dead at this time."
Jiang Yao went up to the high platform and looked into the huge coffin, and was immediately shocked.
There is a corpse in the coffin!
Moreover, there were two coffins, one for a man and one for a woman, wearing the imperial attire of the empress.
what happened?
Didn’t Li Luoshu and his Queen Cui become immortals? Why did they leave their remains behind?
Jiang Yao was shocked when she suddenly discovered that the people in the coffin were not Li Luoshu and Empress Cui.
But two people he didn't know.
It’s strange. Who are these men and women? Why are they buried in Gaoling in Li Luoshu?
These two people were not wearing the Taoist uniforms of the Da Lian period, but the court uniforms of the Emperor and Empress of the Immortal Tang Dynasty.
This is also very strange. In the grand funerals of the past dynasties, if there were remains, neither the monarch nor the ministers would be buried in court clothes.
This noble man and woman, who were like emperors and empresses, were buried in the Gaoling Underground Palace of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty wearing court clothes...
Jiang Yao was just surprised for a moment and suddenly reacted.
"I know who it is! It's the last emperor of Li Tang! The reincarnation of Li Luoshu and Empress Cui!" Jiang Yao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Because he is the reincarnation of Li Luoshu, he can be buried in the tomb of his previous life!"
Ah Jiu also understood, "During the Great Tribulation of the Immortal Realm, the end of the line for the emperors and empresses of the late Tang Dynasty came. Caught off guard, they had no choice but to enter Gaoling and bury themselves hastily to prevent their bodies from falling into the hands of others."
"That's right!" Jiang Yao clapped his hands, "Under the catastrophe, they knew they had no luck and had no choice but to enter Gaoling and bury themselves in the tomb of their previous life."
"In this way, we can avoid the corpse being left in front of others and being humiliated after death."
Jiang Yao said this and looked at the remains in the coffin carefully, "Sure enough, they are the reincarnations of Li Luoshu and his wife, and they look very similar."
"The first generation was king and established the Tang Dynasty. The second generation died and the country was destroyed, and he was hastily buried in Gaoling. Unexpectedly, Li Luoshu's tomb was used by his second generation."
Jiang Yao sighed a few words, couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself: "Junior brother, does this count as a meeting for us? Haha."
After sighing in his heart, Prince Ming reached out his hand and took away the ring of the late Tang Dynasty Emperor and Empress.
This ring is extremely noble. But no matter how high the level of the ring is, it will decay if it has not been refined for such a long time.
Jiang Yao didn't have high hopes, it was just a professional habit.
Sure enough, as soon as he picked up the ring of Emperor Mo of the Tang Dynasty, the ring suddenly broke apart and turned into flying smoke.
After more than 200,000 years, it stands to reason that most of the resources in the ring will be turned into fly ash. Unless they are treasures and resources with a long enough shelf life.
However, I only heard a few "thumps" and a few things fell down, but they were not decayed yet.
It's indeed the Immortal Emperor's ring. It's been so long and something is still intact.
One of the objects was a strange black and white stone. When Jiang Yao saw this object, he was immediately overjoyed.
The fifth Liurentian chess piece!
Jiang Yao picked up the stone as soon as he copied it, and couldn't help but smile.
When Jiang Yao saw a few other things, he wanted to burst into laughter.
But just as Jiang Yao's smile bloomed, a ray of sword light struck from behind.
This sword appeared extremely unexpectedly, and even in this forbidden land, it carried fierce killing intent.
Before Jiang Yao could collect the treasures on the ground, he was locked by the sudden knife.
Jiang Yao and Ah Jiu never thought that there would be a powerful enemy ambushing nearby.
Moreover, the sword was a sure-kill shot and there was no way to avoid it. Caught off guard, Jiang Yao had no chance to shoot or draw the sword.
Looking at the light of the slashing sword, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel sad.
It's so joyful and sad.
As the sword light suddenly rose, a familiar voice came: "This is a suitable place to bury you, die!"
ps: It’s too hot, woo woo woo.
