Chapter seven hundred and nineteenth the robbery hole
Through this secret passage, you can go directly to the tomb of Emperor Jingde. Emperor Jingde and the Empress Dowager Chiang were both extremely intelligent and scheming people. They did not take these little craftsmen in their eyes at all during their lifetimes. In order to avoid these little people who were like ants.
To disturb their peace after death, they thought of the most thorough method of killing them all, but wherever there was oppression, there was resistance. These craftsmen also secretly left a way out for themselves under the pressure of power and pressure.
It’s just that the magic craftsman Zong Yuan didn’t have the opportunity to use this retreat.
The tomb of Emperor Jingde is also extremely luxurious. The top is carved with a sea of dragons and clouds, dotted with night pearls, illuminating the entire tomb. The coffin is surrounded by carved cloud shapes, which means waiting for bliss and entering the kingdom of heaven.
.
There were two coffins, one new and one old. The old one belonged to the Emperor Jingde, and the new one naturally belonged to the Empress Dowager Jiang. Zongtang took out a cotton towel and wrapped it around his mouth and nose, and handed one to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian carried a mask with him, took it out and put it on. For him, tomb robbing was a completely new experience, but he didn't know Zongtang's purpose of coming here.
Zongtang was familiar with the road, and he said to Hu Xiaotian: "After my father discovered that the imperial mausoleum was stolen, he followed the robbery cave and found this place. All the buried objects in the imperial mausoleum were intact, and there were no signs of damage."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Is it possible that the ghost doctor Fu Cui spent so much experience digging a hole just for a visit?"
Zongtang shook his head: "Of course not, his goal is..."
Hu Xiaotian's eyes were fixed on the coffin of Emperor Jingde. In fact, he had just thought that the target of the ghost doctor Fu Cui should be this coffin. Is there any secret hidden in Emperor Jingde's coffin? There must be rare treasures in it, but even if
Some rare treasures were also stolen by the ghost doctor Fu Cui.
Zongtang walked around the coffin of Empress Dowager Chiang and didn't even glance at the coffin of Emperor Jingde. Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that Zongtang must have seen the contents of Emperor Jingde's coffin before, so he didn't care about him.
Curious, what really aroused his curiosity was the coffin of Empress Dowager Chiang. After all, Empress Dowager Chiang had just been buried.
Zongtang seemed to have been prepared for it, and used the tools he had with him to remove the nails from the coffin of the Empress Dowager Jiang one by one. In his heart, the Empress Dowager Jiang was the enemy who killed his father, and of course he would not have any objections to the old woman.
of respect and respect.
Hu Xiaotian was even worried that Zongtang might sneak in for revenge, so he cut off the old woman's head with a knife to vent his hatred.
Zongtang quickly opened the nails, and Hu Xiaotian helped. The two of them worked together to remove the coffin. Although there were many mechanisms in the imperial mausoleum, for Zongtang, who knew the internal structure of the imperial mausoleum, it was basically useless.
The two of them looked into the coffin with the light of the night pearl, and saw the Empress Dowager Jiang wearing a phoenix crown. It was studded with jade pearls, and her face was lifelike, as if she was sleeping soundly. Although the Empress Dowager Chiang's body was taken away by Xue Shengjing, it was recovered in time.
, coupled with the fact that it was winter and the weather was freezing, the corpse was not so easy to rot and deteriorate. However, Empress Dowager Jiang’s face was made up, otherwise she would not have looked so good.
There were countless priceless funerary objects in the coffin. Hu Xiaotian didn't have much interest in them. He always felt that the dead people's things were a bit unlucky. Zongtang had no intention of stealing the funerary objects. He stretched out his hand to remove the corpse of Empress Dowager Jiang.
He helped him up from the coffin and motioned to Hu Xiaotian to help him hold him up.
Hu Xiaotian didn't know what he wanted to do, but since he was already here, he could only do what he wanted. However, when he saw Zongtang pull out a dagger and open up Empress Dowager Jiang's shroud, Hu Xiaotian was stunned, even though Empress Dowager Chiang was ruthless in his methods.
Mr. Zong is dead. But Zongtang wanted to strip off the clothes of a dead old woman. This was so outrageous. He was about to speak out to dissuade him, but he heard Zongtang take a breath and say: "Sure enough!"
Hu Xiaotian took a look and saw that a whole piece of skin was missing from Empress Dowager Jiang's back. It looked really shocking. Zong Tang went all the way to sneak into the imperial mausoleum just to verify this.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who took off the skin from her back?"
Zongtang put Empress Dowager Jiang's body back in place, and re-covered the coffin with Hu Xiaotian, and then said: "He should have been skinned before entering the imperial mausoleum, and the same was true for Emperor Jingde. But he was skinned after entering the imperial mausoleum.
After my father discovered the stolen cave in the imperial mausoleum, he kept looking for it. He saw that Emperor Jingde's coffin had signs of being tampered with, so he opened the coffin with me and found that Emperor Jingde's body had been taken away.
A large piece of flesh, in the same position as Empress Dowager Chiang."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that there must be secrets hidden in the skin on the backs of Emperor Jingde and Empress Dowager Chiang, otherwise why would they be skinned after their deaths? The person who skinned them might be the same person.
Zongtang sighed: "I thought I could still find the secret from Empress Dowager Jiang, but I didn't expect that someone had already got there first."
Hu Xiaotian's eyes turned to Emperor Jingde's coffin. Because of the scene he just saw, he also had a strong curiosity about Emperor Jingde's coffin. What's more, the opportunity to come to the underground palace of Emperor Yong's Mausoleum may only be once in his life.
Now that I'm here, I just want to take a look and see with my own eyes what this Emperor Jingde has become.
Zongtang saw Hu Xiaotian walking towards Emperor Jingde's coffin and couldn't help but remind him: "It's just a skinned corpse." Although he thought it was unnecessary to open the coffin for an autopsy, he did not stop Hu Xiaotian's curiosity.
The two of them worked together to open the coffin lid. The body of Emperor Jingde had been dead for too long and the flesh had withered. Previously, thieves sneaked into the imperial mausoleum and peeled off the skin of Emperor Jingde. After doing this, they did not give Emperor Jingde the body.
After putting on the shroud, leaving Emperor Jingde's body lying naked in the coffin, the magic craftsman Zongyuan and his son discovered the robbery hole, followed the robbery hole to the depths of the imperial mausoleum, opened the coffin, and saw the body of Emperor Jingde.
Even after the skin was peeled off, they didn't dare to move, they just closed the coffin as it was.
Emperor Jingde would never have imagined that after his death, his coffin would be opened many times, and even his body would be skinned, but with a crown on his head and a pure gold collar around his neck.
When Zongtang saw the mummy in the coffin, he could no longer see the original appearance of Emperor Jingde. It was just a dried skeleton. He secretly sighed in his heart that Emperor Jingde would never be able to live in peace even after death.
Hu Xiaotian pulled the corpse up and saw that a large piece of skin was missing from the corpse's back. The corpse's head suddenly drooped down. What Hu Xiaotian didn't expect was that the head broke from the neck with a snap.
The head rolled into the coffin like a rubber ball, and the collar also rolled down with a clang.
Hu Xiaotian and Zongtang looked at each other with innocent expressions. It was true that he had not cut off the head. He checked the broken cervical vertebrae of Emperor Jingde and found that the broken neck was neat and shiny. It was obviously cut off by someone with a knife.
Zongtang obviously saw this, and said with confusion: "As far as I know, Emperor Jingde died of illness, not suicide."
Hu Xiaotian said: "That means his head was cut off after he died. I wonder if he and the ghost doctor Fu Cui had any sworn hatred." He put down the body of Emperor Jingde and reached out to grab the coffin.
The head was already dead, and we couldn’t let his head be dislocated. So we kindly put the head and neck together, leaving Emperor Jingde with a whole corpse. However, we found that there was a tree placed in the corner.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the stick and saw that it was not a stick, but the lightsaber handle he had seen before.
The lightsaber he got last time was in the underground palace of Longling Shengjing in Dakang Palace. Later, Hu Xiaotian gave that lightsaber to Ji Feihua. Unexpectedly, he saw another one in the coffin of Emperor Yongjing.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the lightsaber. This lightsaber was almost exactly the same as the one he used to have, except that the words engraved on the handle were different. The two lightsabers should belong to different owners. Although Hu Xiaotian did not recognize the words on it
From the words engraved on it, I vaguely guessed that the name of the previous owner should be engraved on it. He twisted the handle of the lightsaber and made a crisp click sound. However, no light blade was emitted from the lightsaber, and it continued to rotate.
After several attempts, there was still no response. It seemed that the energy stored inside the lightsaber had been exhausted over the years. Of course, it could not be ruled out that the lightsaber itself was damaged. Hu Xiaotian put the lightsaber away and checked Emperor Jingde again.
's remains.
Emperor Jingde was probably not the owner of the lightsaber. If he had possessed such a powerful weapon during his lifetime, he would have killed everyone with this lightsaber. Perhaps the lightsaber had been damaged since he got it.
Hu Xiaotian searched the coffin for a while, and after making sure that there were no other special burial objects, he picked up Emperor Jingde's head and prepared to place it again on the neck of the corpse. However, he discovered something strange, the head was broken.
The cracks on the two bones were quite different from the neck. He told Zong Tang what he found.
Zongtang whispered: "Did someone cut off his head beforehand?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "We cannot rule out the possibility that his head and body do not belong to the same person."
Zongtang didn't understand what Hu Xiaotian meant and blinked.
Hu Xiaotian speculated: "Someone has stolen Emperor Jingde's body and made a fake body and sewn it together with his head. What is buried in this imperial mausoleum is actually only Emperor Jingde's head. In other words,
The skin on Emperor Jingde’s body has long been peeled off.”
Zongtang said: "Who could that be?"
Hu Xiaotian glanced at the coffin of Empress Dowager Chiang and said: "The person who stole Emperor Jingde's body should be the same person who peeled off Empress Dowager Chiang's skin. According to what I know, the body of Empress Dowager Chiang was stolen by Xue Shengjing."
Let’s go, which means the person most likely to do this is Xue Shengjing.”
Zongtang was stunned and asked: "Why are his biological parents so cruel?" He looked at Emperor Jingde's body and said: "If you care about the skin on Emperor Jingde's back, then you only need to peel off his skin.
That is, why do we need to steal his entire body?” (To be continued.)
