Chapter 390 City of Imperial Tombs
Only after seeing the scene in front of him did Chen Ziyang realize what the former team member meant by the city.

The space behind the second tomb door is so vast that the boundary cannot be seen at all, and the bright flashlight beams in everyone's hands are swallowed by the darkness in the distance.In the distance directly in front of everyone, a faint green light emitted from the top of a large underground space.

Looking carefully, these green lights are weak light curtains composed of light green light spots of different sizes. Although the brightness of each light spot is not very bright, the gathering of countless light spots also plays a certain role. lighting effect.

Just under the pale green light curtain, a majestic ancient city stands there.The tall city wall can't be seen at a glance, the crenels on the city wall are clearly visible, both sides of the city wall are hidden in the darkness, and behind the city wall, antique buildings are connected into one piece, extending to the distance.

These buildings have different shapes, tall or short, some are four or five-story towers, some are low houses, some are connected palaces, and some are independent towers.All the buildings are in ancient style. Even if the details are not clear because they are too far away, the overall feeling of this city is still unusually grand and exquisite.

This kind of picture that can only be seen in games or movies actually appeared in front of everyone.Looking at the large area of ​​the ancient city, Chen Ziyang stood there motionless, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock.

Now he finally understood why the previous team members didn't even say a word after entering here. It wasn't that they were in danger, but that they were just as stunned by the sight in front of them as he was. report.

"Is that city real? Could it be some kind of mirage?" I don't know who said such words in surprise.

"Silly boy, how could a mirage appear here, this is really an underground city, a city of mausoleums.

I have long heard that the underground palace of the Qianling Mausoleum was built according to the layout of Chang'an City. Every brick and tile inside is exactly the same as Chang'an City. I thought it was just an exaggeration. How could someone build the mausoleum so luxuriously.

Moreover, the Qianling Mausoleum has never been excavated, and no one has really seen what the underground palaces look like.Now it seems that it may be true.The underground palace complex under the Qianling Mausoleum should be what we see, or it might not be as good as here.

To be able to witness this architectural miracle in the history of mankind with my own eyes, I have not worked in vain in my life, I have not worked in vain, it is worth it, everything is worth it. Zhang Linfu kept marveling at the wonderful scene in front of him.

After a long time, the people in the team regained their sanity one by one.Liu Cong carefully observed the section of the city wall closest to the team.This section of the city wall is majestic. From a distance, one can vaguely see a city gate in the middle of the city wall, so he organized the team and asked everyone to walk towards the city gate.

The road from the second tomb gate to the city gate was even longer than the tomb passage that everyone walked through, until they reached the bottom of the city, all the people found that the city was bigger than what they imagined and saw before And grandiose.

The height of the city walls is more than 20 meters, as high as a five-six-story building, and the width of the city gate, which looks like a soybean in the distance, is nearly 30 meters.

The city gates are also opposite. Both gates are inlaid with copper rivets. There are also two huge lion heads with rings dotted on the left and right of the door gaps. The gates of the two lion heads with rings The handle is a large copper plate with a diameter of more than one meter, and it is four or five meters above the ground. It is impossible to touch it when standing on the ground. It is obviously not used to open the city gate, but only for decoration.

Not far from one side of the city gate, there is a towering stone tablet, seven or eight meters wide and more than 30 meters high, which is much higher than the tall city wall. Because of the angle of view, people mistook this A huge stone tablet was used as a building in the city.

There is a huge square stone seat under the stele, and a stone dragon and a stone phoenix are carved on the top of the stele as decorations. The stone dragon and the stone phoenix are each formed into a semicircle shape, and the two semicircles are connected together. , became a disc, inlaid on the top of the tombstone.

Although the carved lines are relatively simple, the dragon and phoenix are carved lifelike, and the dragon head and phoenix head are tightly connected together, which looks so simple and magnificent.However, there is no writing on the front of this stele.

Because the direction of the city gate was unclear, everyone took this tall stone tablet as the first place to attack.After spending more than a minute circling around the square base on which the stele stood, everyone found that not only the front of the stele, but also the back and sides of the stele did not have any carved patterns. Or text.

"Stinky boy, what do you think?" After walking around the stele, Zhang Linfu stared at the stele, and asked Chen Ziyang beside him thoughtfully.

"I have an idea, but I don't think it's possible."

"I knew it after hearing you say that. Your thoughts should be the same as what I just thought."

"If that's the case, this place will be even more remarkable."

The conversation between Chen Ziyang and Zhang Linfu made other people stunned and confused, and they didn't know what the two people were talking about. Only Guo Huaxing, who was standing aside, nodded , obviously understood and recognized what the two said.

"Er Yang, why did you start playing charades now? What's going on, can you tell us?" Such a magnificent building complex naturally aroused everyone's curiosity, and Yang Lei on the side was even more anxious. Can't wait.

"If my guess and Zhang Zhenren's guess is correct, this tomb should belong to Wu Zetian, or in other words, it was built for Wu Zetian before, but was abandoned later."

"What! How is this possible? Isn't Wu Zetian buried in the Qianling Mausoleum? Why is there a mausoleum here?" Yang Lei asked the same question that other people wanted to ask, which is too unimaginable.

"The basis for our judgment is this stone tablet. There is such a wordless tablet in Qianling Mausoleum. It is said that it was built by Wu Zetian. It is commented that it is up to future generations to judge how Wu Zetian's empress is.

However, the height of the wordless stele standing in Qianling Mausoleum is only seven or eight meters, and the width is only more than two meters. Compared with this stele, it seems that it was rushed out later, and it is not of the same level at all. . "

"That's right, only the Tang Dynasty during Wu Zetian's time was able to build such a large-scale underground tomb." Hearing that Chen Ziyang's thoughts were indeed consistent with his own, Zhang Linfu said with certainty.

"It seems a little exaggerated to make such a conclusion based on just one wordless stele. As far as I know, there are not a few wordless steles in this world. Maybe this is someone else's tomb." Said.

Hearing Jia Da's words and his weird accent, Chen Ziyang's teeth were itching with hatred. Why is this Jia Da so annoying?It's like a fly that can never be killed is constantly buzzing in your ear.

"What my master said makes sense. Just a stone tablet doesn't seem to be enough to make the following conclusions. Does Daoist Chen have any other great ideas?" Seeing Chen Ziyang's face darken after hearing Jia Da's words, Xu Xiaoyuan He hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

Since he found out the acupoint of reclining Buddha sucking dew by himself, Chen Ziyang's status in the hearts of Zhang Linfu and Guo Huaxing has obviously changed, and other people in the team are more convinced of him.

Now the people in the team are clearly on Chen Ziyang's side. If Jia Da continues to stand out like this and make an enemy for himself, it is very likely that he will be outraged and excluded by everyone. This is Xu Xiaoyuan. most worried.

And what made her feel the most depressed was that her master Jia Da didn't realize this. Instead, she was still bullying the younger generation with her own identity, and looked down on this foreign kid. He couldn't let it go, and insisted on finding a chance to overwhelm Chen Ziyang.

Chen Ziyang, who was about to explode just now and was about to scold Jia Da again, saw what Xu Xiaoyuan meant.For the sake of Liu Cong and his fifth grandfather, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with Jia Da, but this Jia Da was too bullying.

However, recalling Xu Xiaoyuan's persuasion to him before, considering the overall situation, he still endured this tone, and said to Xu Xiaoyuan:
"This hole is called the reclining Buddha sucking dew, and its meaning is to be contained in the mouth of the Buddha like dew. There is a small requirement for burying in this kind of hole, that is, if the reclining Buddha reveals a woman's face , it must be a woman who is buried here, and vice versa.

You should have seen it before, the mountain range above this cave vividly outlines the shape of a woman's profile, so the person who can be buried here must be a woman.

The reclining Buddha sucking dew is originally a very rare treasure cave, in addition, the reclining Buddha's mouth does not overflow the spring, and the left and right green dragons gather the essence of the sun and the moon together, which can reveal the sun and the moon in the same sky. At the same time, the people buried here are by no means ordinary people.

The construction style of the entire tomb is obviously from the handwriting of Datang. Except for Wu Zetian, I really can’t imagine any other woman who has the ability to build such a mausoleum, and which woman is qualified to be buried in such a place. Maybe Jia Master Tadja has other ideas. "

"Hmph!" I don't know if it's because what Chen Ziyang said makes sense, or because he saw his apprentice's meaning and followed his apprentice's advice. Literal confrontation.

"Stop me, Wu Zetian..." Yang Lei wiped his saliva, his eyes lit up.

Seeing his virtue, Chen Ziyang knew that this kid was greedy again, thinking about the treasure in the mausoleum.But it's a pity that this mausoleum was abandoned, otherwise the treasures buried with Wu Zetian would have piled up into mountains, and each piece should be priceless. If the treasures are combined, the total value is immeasurable. It's all trivial.

"Okay, everyone, no matter whether this tomb belongs to Wu Zetian or not, it doesn't matter whether it's real or fake, let's not get too entangled and waste time here, let's first think about how to get in through the city gate." The intensification of the team's conflict, Liu Cong said hastily.

Liu Cong's words reminded everyone. Everyone looked left and right, and found that there was no other entrance on the endless city wall. It seems that if you want to enter this underground city, you can only go through the one in front of everyone. The city gate is closed.

"This city is beyond our understanding, and we have no experience to learn from, so we can only take one step at a time and move forward cautiously.

Everyone be careful and search for ways to open the city gate. Wu Zetian's mausoleum is no joke, even if it is abandoned, it will be dangerous. "

At this time, one of the team members couldn't hold back the urgency in his heart, and came to the front of the city gate.After hearing Liu Cong's talk about finding a way to open the city gate, the team member started to do it, but he didn't pay attention to Liu Cong's prompt later, and he also paid the price for his carelessness.

Holding a rivet the size of a fist with one hand, the team member exerted force on both sides of the crack in the door, trying to push open the huge city gate.

How could he push open such a heavy city gate by himself?Rather than saying that this team member is trying to open the gate, it is better to say that he wants to touch the gate of the city of mausoleums with his own hands.

After a push, the city gate did not move at all, but there was a strange sound above the city gate.A series of sounds of iron objects colliding with stones echoed above everyone's heads, and at the same time there was the sound of heavy iron chains being pulled.

"No, get out of the way!" Before Liu Cong's voice fell to the ground, pitch-black holes appeared on the numerous rivets on the entire city gate, as if these rivets opened their eyes at the same time.

"Swoosh..." Crossbow bolts that looked like steel nails shot out of these holes non-stop. Although these crossbow bolts that looked like steel nails were very small, they shot with great force.

The two crossbow arrows penetrated the back of the player's hand in an instant, and the force of the crossbow arrows still did not decrease after they penetrated, piercing the player's shoulders on both sides respectively.

After these two crossbow arrows, another seven or eight crossbow arrows shot out from the rivets held by the player's hands, instantly shooting the player's hands to pieces, blood flying everywhere.

At the same time, crossbow bolts shot from other holes filled the team member's chest.Without even humming, the player fell backwards.

The crossbow bolts shot from the high rivets are downward, and the crossbow bolts shot from the low rivets are straight. All these rivets are like machine gun ports, sealing the open space in front of the tomb door tightly. , The crossbow shot here without any dead ends.

Another team member standing in this area also suffered, and was instantly shot into a hedgehog by a large number of crossbow arrows.
