Chapter 219 Hidden Treasure

But at this moment, Shirley Yang's sudden words froze the emotions of the two of them on their faces.

I just heard her say thoughtfully: "Haven't you ever thought about the possibility that there is probably no mechanism here?"

Shirley Yang hadn't thought of this before, but after she saw that there were no traces of traps on the green bricks under her feet, she couldn't help thinking about it.

After all, even if the mechanism is dismantled, there will be some traces left. It doesn't make sense that there is nothing like now.

Hu Ba subconsciously looked down and realized that this was really the case.

Just now, he was too busy studying the style and age of the blue bricks, but he didn't realize this at all.

While feeling a little embarrassed, Hu Bayi decided to change the subject and temporarily skip this negligible oversight.

Thinking of this, he said: "It's really possible, let's go out and have a look first."

Anyway, the robbery hole here has existed for decades. Even if there was a gas harmful to the human body in the Hades, it would have been replaced with time.

"Got it!"

Wang Kaixuan was also very willing to respond now, and immediately took the lead and walked in front, and got into the Hades in front of him.

After they entered the Hades, they found that the scale of the Hades was really not small, more than 200 square meters.

Wang Kaixuan, who was the first to enter inside, looked around with a flashlight, and asked in a daze, "In this palace of the underworld...why the hell is there no coffin?"

Although he didn't know much about the form of the tomb, Wang Kaixuan also knew that the Hades had been the place where the coffins had been placed since ancient times.

And the situation in front of him seemed particularly weird.

Hu Bayi was also puzzled by this, and said: "It is clearly written in the "Funeral Sutra" that the Hades is also called the Hall of Compassion and Compassion, and it is the core of the mausoleum. If the coffin is placed here, even if the owner of the tomb cannot enter the coffin for some reason, his clothing, crown and shoes during his lifetime will be buried in the coffin to replace the body of the tomb owner."

The implication is already very clear, that is, it is fine if there is no corpse here, but there must be a coffin in the Underworld no matter what.

Seeing that Hu Bayi's three views had been subverted, Chen Ziyan reminded softly beside him: "Old Hu, put aside the matter of the coffin first, and take a good look at this Hades Hall. Is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, Hu Bayi put aside the issue of the coffin for the time being, held up a flashlight and began to inspect the Hades carefully.

But after looking at it this way, he immediately discovered that this Hades is far from being as simple as having no coffins. No.

Seeing this strange scene, Hu Bayi couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Looking at the specification and form of the Hades, it is a typical circle at the bottom following the circle of the sky. The shape of the ceiling is also standard enough, obviously it is a first-class cemetery of Tang Dynasty kings."

Wang Kaixuan walked to the side at this time, there were six stone shelves there, but the top was also empty.

He turned back curiously and asked, "You said, is this a place for babies?"

Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't see the coffin, it would be a great thing if he could find other artifacts.

Hu Ba glanced at the stone shelf, and popularized it to him: "This is used for offering sacrifices to the six parties. Usually, six kinds of jade wares, Cong, Gui, Zhang, Bi, Hu, and Huang, are placed. This is only available to members of the ancient royal family. treatment."

Wang Kaixuan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Did the old man take these jades away? If we can find his body, wouldn't we be able to get these treasures!"

Exclusively for the royal family, this means that it is definitely a good baby!
The current Wang Kaixuan said that he agrees with Hu Bayi's exploration of secrets with both hands and feet.

Now his requirements are not high, and it would be nice to get a batch of precious jade articles.

Chen Ziyan next to him heard the words, and broke the fantasies with a smile: "Don't think about it when I say fat, let alone that the old man left a long time ago, even if he didn't get out alive, he probably wouldn't look down on these things .”

Hu Bayi also nodded in agreement: "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Chen's words. Lieutenant Mojin follows the ancient precepts. He always only takes three or two artifacts when entering the tomb, so most of them take the most valuable personal funeral objects instead of This kind of jade is more symbolic than actual value."

Anyone who is knowledgeable knows that the most valuable thing in the tomb is undoubtedly the personal thing brought into the coffin by the owner of the tomb.

Especially in such an extremely high-standard mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty, any one of those personal funeral objects may be a priceless rare treasure.

So the senior at that time probably wouldn't pay too much attention to these jade wares.

"Ah?" Wang Kaixuan was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again: "Then let's hurry up and find the coffin."

Since the priority of this jade article is not high, it should be used as an alternative, and it is better to focus back on the coffin.

At this time, Ding Sitian, who had been silent since entering the Hades Hall, suddenly pointed to the wall not far away and said: "There are some problems with the murals in the Hades Hall, they are all sketches. It doesn't look like it's faded from weathering."

Because of the different directions they are good at, the attention points of each team member are also different.

For example, Hu Bayi is good at the form of tombs, so she started to study these as soon as she entered the Hades, and Ding Sitian is better at illusion, so after entering the Hades, she first paid attention to the possibility of setting illusions place.

In ancient tombs, the most likely places where such organs are arranged are the murals on the walls with the highest possibility.

Whether it's the manipulation of the mural itself or the materials used, it can make those uninvited tomb robbers fall into the trick unconsciously.

Hearing Ding Sitian's words, the others also looked at the surrounding walls, only to realize that they were all uncolored sketches.

There are many patterns painted on the walls, including the sun, moon and stars, as well as birds and animals, but the main page depicts thirteen palace ladies.

These court ladies are unusually plump, some holding brocade boxes in their hands, some holding jade pots in their palms, and some carrying musical instruments, vividly constructing a picture of the life of the Tang Dynasty court.

Hu Bayi frowned and looked at these murals, full of doubts, looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Master Chen, I have never heard of this kind of murals, have you heard of them?"

He thought to himself that Chen Ziyan also came from a major, so he should have more knowledge in this area than himself, and maybe he would know something.

Chen Ziyan pretended to ponder, and then said: "Judging from the patterns drawn on these murals, the owner of the tomb is definitely an important figure in the court, and she is also a woman, probably a noble concubine or princess at that time, but this mural is just a line drawing... ..."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Excluding the possibility of weathering and fading, there is only one answer left before us, that is, these murals were not completely completed at that time, and it is likely that some problems occurred in the project. As a result, it stopped abruptly when it reached this step.”

Hu Bayi thought for a while, and said: "It's not finished... It's too unconventional... It's not unconventional anymore, it's simply unreasonable."

When he was thinking about this, he heard Wang Kaixuan say: "Speaking of this, I remembered that Mr. Chen seems to have said that this is some kind of hidden cave. I remember saying that there may not be people buried here. ?”

Wang Kaixuan remembered all the information related to the baby very well. At this time, when he heard that the owner of the tomb here was a woman, his memory was instantly awakened.

Reminded by Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi also instantly remembered the scene at that time, and quickly looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Master Chen, I remember you said at the time that you know all the information here, right?"

"To put it bluntly, I may know all the information here."

At this moment, Hu Bayi remembered the sentence Chen Ziyan said at that time, and he did not forget even a single word.

He didn't take it seriously before, he only thought that Chen Ziyan knew some information here.

But now he hoped that it was true, because Chen Ziyan would get answers to those doubts that lingered in his mind.

Looking at the expectant eyes of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, Chen Ziyan said slightly impressively: "It turns out that I was overconfident at the time. It seems that there are still many things I don't understand."

These words disappointed the two of them, but Chen Ziyan's subsequent words lifted their spirits at the same time.

I only heard him continue to say: "But I still know something about the situation in the Underworld. I was not sure before, but now it seems that I should be right."

After passing through the illusion mechanism and crossroads in the robbery cave, Chen Ziyan realized that he was overconfident before.

I don't fully understand the situation here, and even many of them don't understand it at all.

At this time, I also saw that the Nether Palace was not much different from my memory, so I dared to say this sentence.

However, in order to prevent being slapped in the face, he still said this sentence in a more subtle way.

"I would like to hear the details!" Hu Bayi said immediately.

He is now eager to figure out what is going on here.

One after another, doubts came one after another, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Chen Ziyan organized his language and said: "First of all, we need to know that it is very rare for the royal mausoleum to be suspended halfway. Even if there is an accident with the owner of the tomb, even if it is such a heinous crime as treason, most of them will not treat him harshly. After death, after his death, he will still be buried with the treatment he had received in his lifetime."

Hu Ba nodded: "That's right, even ordinary people are well aware of the principle that family ugliness should not be publicized, not to mention the kind of things in the palace and temples. How to kill is one thing, but how to bury it is the same thing." That's another story."

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, and then continued: "So the influence of external factors can be minimized, so we should look for the reason from the tomb itself."

Chen Ziyan could actually say the answer directly, but he didn't choose to do so.

Instead, guide Hu Bayi step by step. According to his plan, sooner or later Hu Bayi will be alone, so Chen Ziyan will not give up easily if he has the opportunity to accelerate his growth.

Hu Bayi did not waste his painstaking efforts. After hearing these words, he successfully connected the clues in his mind together and dispelled the confusion in front of him.

He said the answer excitedly: "I see, it's the Ghost Tomb!"

Afterwards, he gave his reasons: "After excluding the external factors, the most likely reason is from this place itself, and if we want to talk about this point, we can't avoid the ghost grave that lingers here. .”

"According to the process of ancient tomb construction, after the construction of the underground palace is completed, three animals are usually sacrificed in the tomb, in order to invite the nearby creatures away, so that the tomb owner can rest in peace without being disturbed, but I don't want to lead to the hidden ghost tomb. .”

"Whether it's a waste of time and money for the mausoleum to be abandoned halfway, or the taboo of changing the mausoleum to hinder the owner, it is even more ominous that one hole can be used for two purposes."

Hearing this clear analysis, Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement: "What happened in the beginning is still unknown to this day, but according to the clues we know, this is the most likely answer."

After figuring out why this Nether Temple is like this, Hu Bayi felt his body became much lighter, and he said: "Yeah, no one knows what happened back then, we can only take the most probable guesses as the answer." .”

Although he said so, he felt from the bottom of his heart that his speculation was not wrong.

After getting the answer that the mausoleum was abandoned halfway, they also understood why the coffin was in the Hades.

Because after the completion of the main body of the Hades, this place has been abandoned, and the rest of the project has not continued, so naturally there is no coffin.

Thanks to Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi's explanations being detailed enough, Wang Kaixuan also understood, so he shrugged and asked bitterly: "Doesn't that mean that we made this trip for nothing? Mr. Chen You said that there is such a priceless treasure in this tomb!"

He said the latter sentence while looking at Chen Ziyan.

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan showed him a sly smile: "I said so, yes, but haven't we already seen that priceless treasure?"

"Have you seen it? How is it possible?" Wang Kaixuan shook his head like a rattle: "If I saw Fatty, I would never forget it. We didn't even see a few stones along the way, let alone..."

At this point, Wang Kaixuan's voice stopped abruptly.

He suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively: "Master Chen, the treasure you are talking about is the giant cauldron in the underground temple, right?"

Looking at what they saw and heard after they came to Longling, the only thing that can be called invaluable is the huge bronze tripod enshrined in the temple.

Chen Ziyan nodded with a smile: "That's right."

What he was talking about at the time was of course the tripod. I knew it was empty in the tomb, so how could there be any treasures.

"Alas—" Wang Kaixuan sighed, and his whole body seemed to lose color.

He now has a feeling of fatigue, without a lovely weapon waiting for him, he will have no motivation to continue exploring.

There is no value in going on in Lao Shizi's Hades.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Ziyan knew that this guy would be able to adjust himself in a while, but he decided to give him some encouragement. After thinking about it, he said:

"Fatty, although the Netherworld is empty, there is still a treasure in this tomb. In fact, it is not appropriate to describe it as a treasure. It should be said that it is a hidden treasure."

"Treasure?" Wang Kaixuan raised his head suddenly, swept away his previous frustration, approached Chen Ziyan courteously, and said with a smile: "Master Chen, you are tired after walking for so long, let me give you a massage, fat man. typical."

Seeing his virtue, Hu Bayi complained helplessly: "I said, can you be a bit promising."

If it wasn't for the acquaintances present, he would definitely draw a line with this guy immediately!
