I looked at her and said, "No...what kind of eunuch is this? Will he be treated like this? He can actually build him such a big underground palace as a tomb."
Jenny slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know about this either. Not to mention such a big underground palace, even ordinary tombs, some eunuchs don't have them. Many eunuchs don't die well when they get old."
"Normally speaking, even the eunuchs who held all the power in the past dynasties would never be treated like this. After all, during the period of emperor rule, the actual status of eunuchs was still very humble, and they were not qualified to have such a large-scale
Architectural underground palace.”
There are really more and more problems now. On such a deserted island, dangers exist everywhere. A large number of people from the Ming and Qing dynasties are buried at the foot of the mountain. This is strange enough. Now there is a big eunuch from the Ming Dynasty here.
There is a tomb, and there is no body yet, but if you think about it carefully, these two things are definitely connected.
But what is the specific connection? I really can't think of it. All these things confused me. I stretched out my hand and pressed my temple, and my head hurt. If there was a corpse in it, it would be easier to explain, but it didn't have a corpse. This matter
That's not right.
The tomb of this great eunuch? Could it be the real tomb of Zheng He? Wasn't he the greatest eunuch? Otherwise, Emperor Yongle would not have sent him to sea.
In the Ming Dynasty at that time, Zheng He was considered a figure. When he went to sea, he took away a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry from the Ming Dynasty, which was almost equivalent to a quarter of the country's financial resources.
It was not until the death of Emperor Yongle that Zheng He was considered defeated. However, it is said that when Zheng He went to sea for the seventh time, he died on the way back, and the whereabouts of his body was unknown.
Zheng He's body did not come back, or it was buried halfway. It is estimated that even Emperor Xuande at that time may not know the truth, let alone us descendants. In these Zheng He tombs now, there are at most only
There is no clothes or other things, Zheng He's body is not there at all. This is not a mausoleum at all, it is just a monument at most.
But where is his body? Where did he die? These things are all mysteries. No one knows what history is like today. The so-called scholars and experts also judge based on the records of later generations.
, everyone has different opinions, almost everyone has his own theory.
Most of the things that happened hundreds of years ago were fabricated by later generations. Only by traveling through time and space and returning to the Ming Dynasty at that time can we solve this mystery, but this is simply impossible.
"Jenny, do you think... could this underground palace belong to your ancestor Zheng He?" I turned to look at her and asked with squinted eyes.
"My ancestor Zheng He? Stop joking, how is this possible?" Jenny sneered and immediately rejected it.
"Why is it impossible..." I briefly told her the question I just thought about.
Jenny's face was extremely ugly, but she kept shaking her head and said, "Although what you said makes sense, I still don't believe it. I just don't believe it."
"Then are you a descendant of Zheng He?" I looked closer and looked into her eyes and asked.
"Nonsense, I'm not, are you?" Jenny rolled her eyes and stared at me, obviously unwilling.
"Okay, okay, just think I was wrong, but if it's not Zheng He's tomb, who else could it be?"
I really can’t figure it out. Which eunuch can be so powerful? Although Jenny said she didn’t believe it on the surface, this time she went to sea with the so-called nautical charts left by Zheng He. These things,
Is it possible that it has nothing to do with him? It's simply impossible. There are so many connections and there will always be some involvement.
"Do you think...could someone have come in and taken the body away?" Jenny blinked and looked at me and asked.
I thought about it and said, "Probably not. This stone door was intact before, but I blew a hole with a grenade. If someone had come in, the stone door would not be so intact."
"Besides this stone door, there may be other entrances here. Think about it, we fell from the bridge and found this place accidentally. If there were no other entrances, who would have thought that there would be a tomb here.
Woolen cloth?"
Jenny's words make sense. If we hadn't fallen from the bridge, we wouldn't have discovered this place. Moreover, her words also reminded me that the tomb builder couldn't have left a way out for himself.
If there was only one stone gate, wouldn't all the tomb builders have to die here and be buried with them? From this point of view, there should be other places to enter and exit here.
I reached out and patted Jenny and said, "In this case, let's look around again to see if we can find another exit. Even if we really can't find the exit, we can find some other information."
"Okay, let's go here and check it out. We've all checked it before." Jenny pointed at the space behind the coffin. So far, this is the only place that hasn't been checked.
"Well, follow me down the steps, don't be careless." Thinking of what happened just now, I was still frightened. This damn place is full of dangers.
I took the lead and walked down the steps step by step. Jenny followed me. Every step I took, I was extra careful. When my feet landed, I listened carefully, just in case I encountered some mechanism.
.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong along the way, and we walked down smoothly. I stopped first and looked around with a flashlight. Although there was also blue firelight here, the firelight was too dark after all, and many corners were still dark.
.
So we have to come down to confirm whether there is anything that could threaten our lives around us. Only by standing here can we fully understand the situation in the underground palace behind. In fact, this place is not small, it is almost as big as the underground palace in front of the coffin.
If you calculate it this way, the circular staircase is built exactly in the middle of the underground palace, and the position of the coffin is even more precise. In the middle of the circular staircase, this placement is really in place.
Ah, it shows that the owner of the coffin has a distinguished status, at least it is not something that ordinary eunuchs can possess.
After looking around, I didn’t find anything strange. Jenny and I looked at each other, and she nodded to me, indicating that we could continue walking, “Zhongyi, let’s go separate ways, this will also save some time.
.”
"No, what to do if there is danger? We have already dealt with this. We are not in a hurry now. What will happen if something happens?" I don't quite agree with her opinion. I still have two opinions on whether I can go out now.
Who cares about this little time anymore? For me now, I just have enough time and nothing else.
"It's really okay..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You don't even have a flashlight in your hand. Just follow me. It's just you and me here now. We can't make any more mistakes."
I said seriously, Jenny and I are currently dependent on each other. If something happens to Jenny and I am left alone in this hellish place, even if I can't die, I will have to go crazy.
Jenny was very obedient this time, "Okay, I'll just listen to you."
"Let's go."
I reached out and grabbed her wrist, but she didn't resist. I still pulled her forward. The flashlight light shot back and forth in all directions. There was nothing around. It was almost the same as before. There were only some simple burial objects.
They are some very ordinary porcelain, not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, and you can't even see any fine silk.
I picked up a porcelain vase and looked at it and said, "I don't know whether this thing is good or bad. I can even tell which dynasty it is from. Can you understand?"
Jenny took it and looked at it and said, "I can't quite understand it, but this porcelain bottle looks pretty good."
"It would be great if I were here. At least I could check to see which emperor the eunuch of the tomb owner belongs to." I put down the things in my hands and continued to look around.
"It's useless even if you find out who the emperor is. This coffin is empty, and you can't find out who the eunuch is at all." Jenny said, passed me, and walked forward.
"Hey, what are you doing? Be careful." This girl is restless at all times, and she feels so awkward following me.
"It's okay Zhongyi, I'll go take a look in front." Jenny walked to the innermost stone wall. I didn't know what she was looking at. I continued to observe the surroundings. Generally speaking, the underground palace was pretty well built.
It is not easy to build a tomb of this size in a big mountain.
The most important thing is that I didn't feel very cold in here, on the contrary, it was very mild. This was very different from the situation in the sunken ship. I didn't expect this. I always thought that this kind of place where the dead are buried,
They are all relatively cold, maybe because there are no corpses here.
I walked along the stone wall, thinking about these things in my mind, hoping to link them all together to find out the problem.
Just as I was thinking, Jenny suddenly called me, "Zhongyi, come over and take a look."
I didn’t know what happened to Jenny, and I didn’t have time to ask any more questions. I quickly ran over and asked, “Jenny, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” I stepped forward and pulled Jenny over. I was afraid that she might have encountered something.
What's dangerous?
Jenny came out from behind me and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Look at this." She casually pointed to the stone wall.
I turned my head and took a look, and was surprised. There was a painting hanging on the stone wall. This painting was very big, nearly two meters high. Through the blue firelight, I saw that the painting inside
, is actually a person. According to the proportions of this painting, the person in this painting should be the same size as a real person.
I hurriedly shined the flashlight over to take a closer look. This was a painting of a man. It was made using ancient Chinese painting techniques. This is relatively easy to distinguish. There are obvious differences between the paintings of ancient people and the paintings of today's modern people.
