Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 252 Lingxing Gate

"Don't even mention it, it smells like barbecue."

Wang Qiang took a deep breath.

"What? Are you hungry? Then go up and take a few bites and give us a taste of this old bacon that has been stored for hundreds of years!"

"No, that's what I said, we're not good at it."

Wang Qiang waved his hands quickly, and now he took off his diving suit, put it away in his backpack.

After the flames on the two mummies were gradually extinguished, Bai Lu cautiously approached them.

When you peel back the burnt layer of the three-eyed centipede, you will see that the yellow spherical objects inside are all burnt black and have been carbonized.

When I touched it with the dagger in my hand, it turned into scum.

"This is the egg of the three-eyed centipede, and it is also the source of energy for this 'insect man'."

Lin Yi stepped forward and explained.

"Miao Jiang's voodoo skills are really evil. I hope we won't go on missions to Yunnan and Guizhou in this life."

Bai Lu patted the dust on her gloves and crossed herself on her chest.

"Old Lin, why would he set up such a vicious mechanism since the tomb of the eight kings has not been activated?"

"What are you asking? What's the matter? Can't a door be installed in a rough house? When Zhang Xianzhong was building this place, the Daxi regime was still prosperous. Besides, there were a lot of funerary objects placed here early. Why don't you find someone to look at it? Are you here?"

Lin Yi put away his weapon, held up the flashlight, and carefully observed the surrounding stone statues.

After confirming that there is nothing abnormal, direct the others to move on.

At the end of the Shinto, there is a huge stone turtle statue, which looks like a statue carrying a stele.

There is a square hole on the back, specially reserved for placing Shinto tablets.

Judging from the shape of this huge beast, Zhang Xianzhong must have wanted to build a tombstone for himself that was half the size of a city gate.

Unfortunately, by the time of his death, the inscription could not be completed.

Behind him is a diamond wall.

The structure of this vajra wall is also very characteristic. On both sides are two grooves dug out of the mountain, standing opposite each other, supported by two pillars with a diameter of about half a meter.

The craftsmen were afraid that the wood of the pillar would crack, so they hooped seven or eight iron hoops on it.

The top is supported by wooden pillars, which is the diamond wall.

From the exposed part, the thickness of each diamond wall is at least two or three meters, and there are three in total. As for the area, it is impossible to see from the outside.

"At that time, once Zhang Xianzhong's coffin is sent in, the pillars will be removed one by one, the thousand-jin stone will be dropped, and it will slide into the groove, so that it fits tightly with the entire stone wall."

Lin Yi stretched out the knuckles of two fingers and knocked on the stone wall.

"As far as this level of strength is concerned, if you don't use explosives, it's impossible to open this diamond wall with human power alone. Let's go in and see what treasures the Eight Great Kings have hidden for themselves."

Lin Yi stepped into the tomb passage.

The regulations here are completely built according to the shape of the imperial tombs in the Ming Dynasty.

The deep tomb passage is made of high-grade stone masonry arches. There is not a single pillar or ring beam in the entire tomb passage, which is entirely completed by the exquisite craftsmanship of the masons.

"No wonder we had to bring [-] masons in to build the royal tomb. The amount of work is really not small."

Three flashlight beams swayed in the tomb passage, giving a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.

There is no content in the entire vault and the surrounding walls. It is a completely plain style, with no murals, no reliefs, and no words or patterns.

This style is quite a bit of the minimalist style that is currently popular, and it takes separation to the extreme.

It is extremely inconsistent with Zhang Xianzhong's extravagant character.

"This doesn't look like the mausoleum of an upstart emperor. It's a bit plain. There's nothing there. Can there be ruthless goods here?"

Wang Qiang beat and beat with the engineer shovel in his hand all the way, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"You have also seen the 'Jiangkou Shenyin Ruins', there are all real things of real value."

"What do you mean, Chen Yin has been fished for hundreds of years, and he can still fish out so many treasures, so he must fill a lot of good things into the tomb?"

"I didn't say that. Anyway, I think that if this is really the mausoleum that Zhang Xianzhong chose for himself, then he will definitely not let it stay empty."

The three of them walked through the tomb passage, and in front of them were two large open stone doors.

The shape of this tomb door is much more colorful than the shape of the previous tomb passage.

There are double eaves, brackets, and carvings.

The tomb door is also engraved with patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, auspicious animals, and cloud patterns, showing an extraordinary style.

"Look, this feels right. It feels a bit like an imperial mausoleum, doesn't it?"

"This gate is called the Lingxing Gate, also known as the Yin-Yang Gate, passing through this gate is like entering the underworld.

Therefore, according to the shape of the tombs of the Ming Dynasty, after passing this gate, you will arrive at the front hall of the underground palace. They pay attention to the front hall and the back sleeping room.

On both sides of the central hall are the left and right side halls.

This is the general structure of the imperial mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you two about it first so that you can have an idea when you go in later.

let's go!Just go and have a look! "

Lin Yi led the way.

"You say that Zhang Xianzhong is a bumpkin, how can he know how this Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum was built? Is it a good imitation?"

"Didn't we listen to the lecturer when we went to the 'Jiangkou Shenyin' site? After Zhang Xianzhong took over Xichuan, the first thing he did was to dig up the tomb of Zhu Zhishu, king of Shu, so we could fish it out." The Golden Seal of the Prince of Shu'.

He only needs to expand it several times to build it according to the appearance of the Mausoleum of the King of Shu. "

Bai Lu gave Wang Qiang a popular science guide.

"Oh, I went out to smoke with my fifth brother at that time, I missed it, I missed it."

Wang Qiang laughed sheepishly and quickly changed the subject.

"If that's the case, Zhang Xianzhong also has talented people under his command. He can also find the tomb of the King of Shu. Maybe he can come with us."

"That's our peers! The starting funds for peasant uprisings in the past dynasties were either the confiscated property of landlords or the excavation of imperial tombs. The ancestors of the Xieling sect were members of the Red Eyebrow and Green Forest uprisings back then.

Later, he went to Huang Chao, then Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, without exception, it is not surprising that he has such a 'talent' under his command. "

"By the way, Mr. said before that the Yang family in the south of the Lingnan in the 'Eight Chiefs of Kanyu' are the descendants of Xiling Lishi?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"Thank you for listening at least. They claim to be the descendants of Kanyu Feng Shui master Yang Junsong. They are just trying to put their own face on it."

"Unfortunately, we arrived one step earlier than them, otherwise, this is the Feng family and the Yang family, and they would have been shot at."

While the two were talking, Bai Lu had already finished taking pictures, she put away her camera and followed them into the front hall.

According to the requirements of the burial system, the front hall will not have any furnishings. It is just an empty hall, while the middle hall is where the emperor works. As the name suggests, the apse hall is the sleeping palace of the emperor and queen.

But the scene that appeared in front of them made all three of them stunned on the spot.

Not only is the front hall not empty at all, it is also quite "crowded".

Because in front of them, there are hundreds of coffins densely packed, just like a morgue.
