There was a sound behind her, and Lin Xiner turned around. The door closed automatically when she stepped into the stone room.
The narrow stone chamber of the tomb became a suffocating space.
Lin Xiner went back, touched the rock wall to check, and was convinced of her guess. There was no way to enter or return to this door, and there was no control mechanism from inside.
That is to say, the people who buried the coffin of King Dongzhu at that time may not have known that there was a cave on the other side of the stone chamber. And this stone chamber must have been regarded as an ordinary mausoleum, and Queen Dongzhu was placed there and sealed from the bottom up.
The tomb chamber is not big, and compared with King Dongzhu's status, there are not many things buried with him. Is it worth building such a large project to protect it? Thinking about the things in the sarcophagus, Lin Xin'er guessed that King Dongzhu was like this
The arrangement should still be guarding something more important than his bones.
Since the bones and burial objects are not important...
Lin Xiner strode over and with a little luck opened the sarcophagus that had been sealed for more than two hundred years.
Empty!
There is no one in the sarcophagus!
Lin Xiner stared at the empty sarcophagus in trance for a moment.
The surroundings were intact. The bones must not have been stolen. It must have been not buried at all, or...
Lin Xiner stared at the bottom of the sarcophagus. This sarcophagus was integrated with the tomb chamber. That is to say, it was not brought in after the body of King Dongzhu was put in, but was put in after King Dongzhu's body was delivered here.
It is placed in the sarcophagus here.
Discovering this, Lin Xiner picked up a burial object from the side and threw it in.
Lin Xiner watched helplessly as the funerary objects stayed at the bottom of the sarcophagus for a moment and then opened and closed at an extremely fast speed. If King Dongzhu had been placed in the sarcophagus and then closed the lid, no one would have known that his body had fallen into the sarcophagus.
to another place.
When King Dongzhu was alive, he built himself an extremely perfect tomb with many layouts.
Lin Xiner tried it a few more times with the funerary objects, and after mastering the opening and closing speed of the coffin bottom, she decided to practice it herself. Instead of being trapped here, she might as well accompany King Dongzhu on the adventure.
Lin Xiner jumped into the sarcophagus and counted seven times secretly. On the seventh time, the bottom of the coffin opened and Lin Xiner jumped down.
As the height dropped, it became colder and colder. After her feet landed, Lin Xiner hugged her arms tightly without realizing it. At this time, she really regretted not borrowing the woman's clothes. She really needed it.
.
Even if the wet clothes on his body were dried by luck, it would still be very cold.
After passing the hot Huangquan Palace and the room-temperature pool water, Lin Xiner entered a world of ice.
It shouldn't be cold here originally, but there are countless ice cubes stored there. The ice cubes are not completely transparent, but have a bluish white color. It must be that something solidified has been added to make it difficult to melt.
Stacked here, it became a large ice cellar.
Walking on the passage paved with ice, Lin Xin'er's teeth were chattering with the cold and she thought, she didn't die of heat, she didn't starve, she wasn't killed, she wasn't crushed to death, and in the end she was going to freeze to death again.
.
but……
Lin Xiner's eyes lit up. It seemed that God still loved her. She actually saw a fur cloak!
The cloak is hung on the wall, as if it is specially prepared for people who come here.
Lin Xiner walked over quickly, carefully observed it, and when she saw that there was no problem, she took off her cloak and put it on.
The cloak is very big, the size of a man, and it should have been prepared by King Dongzhu for himself.
However, along the way, Lin Xiner didn't find any human traces. Didn't King Dongzhu's body fall here? The temperature here is so low that the body is not easy to rot, so it should have left a human figure, but why did she deliberately
She didn't see anything except the burial objects thrown in. The cloak was also hanging here, untouched for a long time. It was still chilly when it was first put on.
Lin Xiner wrapped herself in a cloak and continued walking along the road, passing by a portrait.
The portrait is inlaid in ice. It depicts a woman wearing a red dress and a white veil, sitting on a swing and swinging. The veil dances with the wind, but still covers half of her face. The woman's appearance is not left in the painting.
.
It’s a woman again!
Moreover, it was a woman in red, which was exactly what was in the sarcophagus outside. Lin Xiner remembered that there was indeed a white silk handkerchief like a veil in the pile of things.
Lin Xiner looked at the portrait. Apart from the eye-catching red color, she always felt that this woman gave her a strange feeling. She couldn't tell what was wrong.
Frowning, Lin Xiner continued to walk forward. It seemed that she was not far from the end. The frozen things in the ice cubes on both sides were getting richer and richer. There were more flowers and plants, which seemed to have been frozen into the ice cubes when they were in full bloom.
Sealed in dust, it will not fade over the years.
Stepping onto several layers of stone steps made of ice, Lin Xiner walked onto a platform, on which an ice coffin was placed.
Lin Xiner blinked. She didn't need to get close to guess who was inside.
King Dongzhu built such a large project to protect the woman's body, which was his true love and his most precious thing.
That's why his tomb is not as luxurious as outsiders imagine, and the burial objects are not as rich as outsiders think. These things are worthless in his eyes. He has set up such a big plan to protect only this woman!
Lin Xiner stepped forward. She was very curious and wanted to see what kind of woman made King Dongzhu not hesitate to sacrifice so much and to abandon everything and leave in secret. He froze his lover here because he must have wanted her.
The wish to be resurrected and run away in search of a cure - this is why Lin Xiner guessed why there was no body of King Dongzhu in the ice cellar, because he was not dead at all when he fell from the sarcophagus!
Step by step, she approached the ice coffin and lowered her eyes. The moment she saw the appearance of the woman in the ice coffin, Lin Xiner was a little dazed.
The woman in the ice coffin seemed to be sleeping soundly, with a smile on her face and a peaceful expression. The red clothes she wore on her looked like the blooming red flowers in the ice. Although Lin Xin'er didn't like such gorgeous things.
It's a color, but it's very beautiful and pleasing to the eye when worn on this woman.
The woman was about thirty, not in her youth, but with mature beauty. For some reason, Lin Xiner thought of Xia Yubing. Although she was nearly forty, she was still blooming. She once thought that her master was the most beautiful woman in the world. Of course, she still is now.
It’s just that there are many more things that I don’t want to think about or say…
Lin Xiner didn't know why, seeing the woman in the ice coffin made her think of the woman she wanted to forget the most. Looking carefully, she seemed to see the shadow of Xia Yubing on this woman's face...
