The colleague who was fighting was also unlucky. When he came here, he thought he had the upper hand, but he was lured to the man-eating tree and ended up with no body left. The reason why Tang Sancheng thought of the word "lure" was because this mechanism was so real.
It's too eye-catching. It's clearly telling people that there is a mechanism here and there's something fishy here. Isn't this an invitation to enter?
No wonder De's notes repeatedly mentioned illusions and labyrinths, and this was also part of it. Tang Sancheng looked at this: "Bai Yi said that the specifications here are five rooms and three tunnels. I don't know which room this is."
In this stone room, the floor is paved with stone slabs and there are divine thrones for one emperor and two empresses. They are both like the thrones used by the emperors and empresses during their lifetimes. The emperor's throne is particularly unique. The emperor's throne is carved with dragons and the backrest is carved with dragons.
There are four dragon heads, and a whole dragon is carved on the back. The dragon heads stretch out in front of the backrest in the shape of a bead.
The thrones on the east and west rear are decorated with phoenixes. Both are carved from white marble. The phoenix shapes on the thrones on the east and west rear are slightly different. The phoenix shape on the throne on the east rear is in the shape of spread wings, while the phoenix on the throne on the west rear is in the shape of spread wings.
It's like exploring the head, slightly different.
In front of the throne is an altar, "There should be five offerings on it. This is the imperial mausoleum, and there must be at least five offerings."
"What are the five offerings?"
"Generally speaking, there is an incense burner, a pair of candlesticks, and a pair of vases. In the past, the imperial tombs were excavated, and the five offerings were all made of yellow glaze. Now the altar is empty. It looks like the items are like silver masks.
If it was taken away, it is possible that all the people and their belongings might have been donated to the man-eating tree." There was a sense of regret in Lei Zi's words: "It's such a pity."
"It's okay, at least a silver mask fell down." Tang Sancheng was quite optimistic. He saw three porcelain jars in front of the throne, each jar facing a throne.
He took a closer look and saw that there were some solid things inside, in a condensed state, and... a wick. Lei Zi said: "This is the ever-burning lamp."
Tang Sancheng has heard of the Ever-Bright Lamp, also known as the Continuing Light or the Endless Lamp, which is a lamp that is always lit day and night in front of the Buddha. Since ancient times, the Ever-Bright Lamp has been lit in every household on New Year's Eve. Once it is lit, it cannot be blown out until the oil
It is an ancient traditional custom that when the candle is used up, the candle eventually goes out on its own. It is said that on New Year’s Eve, as the gods ascend to heaven, all the ghosts and gods appear.
Come to look for food, especially those ghosts, monsters, ghosts and the like. These loose ghosts who usually do not get worshiped during the New Year and festivals are even more coveted good companions (because there are many cakes in every house tonight). If you blow
If the lights are put out and the sky and earth are dark, it will catch people. Especially if a child cries in the middle of the night or an old man coughs, his life will be hard to save.
Eternal lamps are also placed in the tombs of Chinese kings. Its meaning is naturally different from that of ordinary people's homes. They hope that their imperial tombs can be as brightly lit as the palaces they lived in. The place where a person lives after death is a ghost house, which is also a house. An everlasting lamp
It's always bright, and it's like seeing death as life.
Lei Zi reached into the jar, touched it, and smelled it: "This is waxy lamp oil. After such a long time, the lamp oil is still there. It seems that this everlasting lamp went out not long after it was lit. If the emperor is a spring,
I know better than to kill the person who lit the lamp."
"Isn't the Ever-Bright Lamp always bright?" Tang Sancheng asked.
"When the imperial mausoleum was closed, there was not enough oxygen left here. Oxygen is indispensable for lamps to burn. It is estimated that as soon as the mausoleum is closed, the ever-burning lamp will go out."
Tang Sancheng's sharp eyes saw that there was a signature on the vat, and he read: "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty."
"Is this the tomb of Emperor Jiajing?" Lei Zi had spent a lot of effort just now, and now he was holding on to the vat and breathing heavily when he spoke: "Tang Sancheng, I'm afraid I can't move forward with you. I can only drag you down like this.
.”
"How can I leave you here?"
"It's okay. Someone has been here before. We all know what kind of traps are set here. It should be safe here." Lei Zi said: "You just know that this is the middle hall. Bai Yi doesn't have the structure of the tomb in his hands."
Come back to me after I reunite with them." Lei Zi wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Take me with you. If you encounter a trap, it will be too late to dodge."
What Lei Zi said is not unreasonable. It should be safe here. Compared with walking in the dangerous and unknown tomb, staying here is not a bad thing. Tang Sancheng pondered and nodded: "Okay, you stay here, Shui
I'll leave it to you. After I meet Bai Yi and the others, I will pick you up right away. You must wait for me."
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back." Lei Zi sat down next to the porcelain jar: "I won't go anywhere."
Tang Sancheng nodded: "Then I'll leave first."
Tang Sancheng walked to the entrance of the middle hall, pressed the button, and a door opened. Going out was the tomb passage. The tomb passage was divided into two, one facing forward and one facing back. Tang Sancheng didn't know much about the structure of the tomb chamber, so he just faced forward based on his feeling.
Walking, there was nothing special along the way. As he walked, he called Bai Yi’s name. He didn’t know that Bai Yi
Where is He Qixie now? There is another tomb in front of the middle hall. Tang Sancheng successfully entered it without any effort. After entering, he was disappointed. This tomb was small in scale. When he opened it, he did not find any furnishings in it. Even
The floor is only paved with yellow pine boards, not the stone patterned boards seen just now in the nave.
The wooden planks laid on the floor of this tomb are quite huge, with a single piece being three or four meters long. There are very huge ruts on the wooden planks, which are exactly the same as those seen in the stone chamber at the bottom of the well.
Seeing that there was nothing special in this tomb, and Bai Yi and the others were not here, Tang Sancheng did not intend to stay any longer. There was an exit in this tomb, so he simply waited there. There was no door, just like in the tomb.
He waved to Tang Sancheng: "Come on, come on."
Thinking of the mechanism in the middle hall that led to the man-eating tree, Tang Sancheng thought for a moment. Could such an obvious passage be a scam? Tang Sancheng walked closer, picked up the gravel on the ground, and threw it inside.
I didn't hear the sound of gravel falling to the ground for a long time. It seemed like a bottomless trap.
He touched his chest, his heart was still beating hard. If he had walked over without hesitation just now, he might have suffered the same fate as this stone.
Tang Sancheng wanted to go out, but suddenly he remembered that Bai Yi said that there are two tombs connected together, which are the front hall and the back hall. Just mentioned the upper hall, if this tomb is the front hall, then the back hall is nearby?
Generally, the apse is where the old emperor's coffin is. Tang Sancheng got a little excited. He walked around the tomb, his eyes not missing any detail. There was nothing else but ruts, ruts, ruts.

Tang Sancheng squatted on the ground and looked at the deep rut marks. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that the rut marks were regularly distributed in the tomb, like arrows! Tang Sancheng said "ha", what a cunning instruction.
