Chapter 83: The Underground Chamber in the Cold Palace
Xue Rou'er curled her lips and said, "Okay, but you can't take the child with you."
Zi Tong looked at the sleeping child and said, "Leave it to the wet nurse. He will go to sleep when he is full."
Xue Rou'er raised her eyebrows and said, "You are a father who is not responsible at all."
Zi Tong smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it won't happen again." He was very much looking forward to the next child with Xue Rou'er, because he really wanted to know what it was like to watch the child grow up from birth to adulthood.
Xue Rouer handed the child to the wet nurse, and then pretended to be asleep, and then the two of them entered the cold palace.
The cold palace is indeed gloomy, no wonder there are things to suppress evil.
Zi Tong led her to an octagonal tower at the back. There was Bagua on the door of the tower. Zi Tong pressed the two points of Bagua at the same time and the door opened.
After entering, Xue Rou'er found that there was only half of the space in the tower, which was semicircular and empty. On the opposite side was a large piece of chicken blood stone, which blocked the entire first floor and could not see the stairs going up. And the stone was embedded with the rhombus
Things like gold are just a little oxidized.
Zi Tong said: "This should be it, but how to open it?"
Xue Rou'er said: "Who am I asking, what are these symbols used for? By the way, aren't they for suppressing evil? Why is there such a terrifying head on it?"
Zi Tong said: "Maybe it's to use evil to cure evil."
Xue Rou'er said: "It looks a bit like a dragon, and a bit like a tiger. It's weird. Eh? It's missing an eyeball."
Zi Tong wiped the relief with her sleeve and said, "Well, one is missing."
Xue Rouer asked: "You don't seem surprised at all."
Zi Tong smiled and said, "Don't you remember anything when you saw the other eye?"
Xue Rouer looked at it carefully and said, "It looks familiar..."
"Is it this?" Zi Tong took out something and waved it in front of Xue Rou'er's eyes.
Xue Rou'er saw it and immediately shouted: "That's it, I... don't remember where I put it."
Zi Tong smiled and said: "You are such a careless person, I thought it was new so I kept it for you."
Xue Rouer curled her lips and said: "I found this in a silver box and bought it from my father at a huge price, but at first they said it was a treasure from some religion."
Zi Tong said: "These are the guardian beast eyes of the Mandala royal family. Usually there is one for the queen and one for the king. You can try it."
Xue Rou'er took the ring and stuffed it into the guardian beast's eye. Unexpectedly, the tiger's eye stone on the ring fell off in an instant. Then the guardian beast's movable eyelids blinked twice, and the entire diamond-shaped block moved to the left, revealing a big hole inside.
The rectangular corridor slopes downward.
"Why does it need to be shaped like a tower? In fact, the road goes downwards." Xue Rouer asked in confusion.
Zi Tong said: "Let's confuse things, go in and take a look."
The road inside is very clean, and the white walls emit fluorescence, so you can see the road clearly without lighting tools. Xue Rouer feels that she has entered a dream track.
I don’t know how long they walked, but they made a lot of turns. If it went straight up and down, they could take the slide.
At the end below, there is a flat silver door. The surface is shiny and not oxidized.
Zi Tong touched it and said, "It's warm."
Xue Rouer touched it and said: "Really, there shouldn't be a stove inside, but the silver has not oxidized and should be well sealed, so how can the stove be ignited without air?"
Zi Tong pushed it, and the door automatically retreated and then flashed to the left.
It is very bright inside, almost like a small palace. There are not only gold dragon chairs but also imperial concubine couches and various furniture. The light source comes from a glass lamp hanging from above. I don’t know how much is put there.
Night Pearl.
Zi Tong looked around and said, "So there is such a good place here."
Xue Rouer looked at him sideways: "What? Do you want to live here?"
Zi Tong sat down on the dragon chair, bounced it twice childishly, and said with a smile: "It's comfortable..." As a result, when he leaned back, his back actually tilted backwards, and his whole body was strained too hard.
Rolled over from behind.
"Hahaha... I'll make you laugh..." Xue Rou'er laughed unceremoniously.
Zi Tong stood up depressedly, raised the back of the chair with her hands and said, "It's actually built here, why not make it a whole piece?"
Xue Rou'er walked over to take a look and said, "How do I know that the person who did this must have a brain problem, or maybe he wants to say that the dragon chair is not that easy to sit on."
Zi Tong moved the back of the chair away and said, "It's so strange, there are two legs down here."
Xue Rou'er took a look and saw that the back of the chair was a coiled dragon, oval, with two pillars underneath, and the tops of the pillars were round. It was not stable to stand like this.
However, she didn't think much about it. She thought it was the designer's problem, so she said, "Ignore it. Let's look for any clues."
The two of them searched separately and found that there was no writing except for the luxurious furniture.
Xue Rouer said frustratedly: "There is nothing, we came here in vain."
Zi Tong touched her chin and said, "Then what is this secret room used for?"
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Probably the former emperors used it to hide their beauties in the golden house."
Zi Tong smiled and said: "How is it possible? If you are an emperor, why would you hide here? Why can't the harem be so big that there is no room for one person?"
Xue Rou'er said: "Maybe it's someone who can't be known." She lay on the chaise longue in boredom. The chair was a bit narrow. She leaned on the backrest and rolled down. The backrest was also movable.
"I fell to death." Xue Rou'er got up.
Zi Tong held back her laughter and said, "This is called retribution."
Xue Rou'er rolled her eyes and said, "Just wait, I will take care of you later."
She lowered her head and said: "There are two grooves here, but the distance between the two feet of this chair back is too far... Hurry, bring yours over."
Zi Tong suspiciously took the back of the dragon chair, and the two round legs fit into the groove. Without waiting for Xue Rou'er to say anything, he took the backrest of the imperial concubine's couch to the dragon chair, and sure enough it fit into the groove below.
"It's so strange..." Before Xue Rou'er could finish her words, the floor tiles on the open space began to separate to both sides, and then something rose up.
The two of them looked at each other. There were many traps here, and they wouldn't have been able to discover them unless they were both tricked.
Xue Rou'er said: "What's that purple about? Is your Taizu a machine maniac?"
Zi Tong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Zi Lintian, there are too few records about him, and I don't know much about him."
