Chapter 2128 King Dongming
Even though Zhang Tianyou said that this matter was over, it would be over. As long as Ye Xiaoluan and Xiaofu and the others did not mention it, Lei Gang and the others would not mention it.
They followed the passage in front and walked forward. Not long after walking, they saw two doors. They saw that the two doors were closed, covered with copper rust. There were many corpses on the ground or not far away. They were all very miserable in death.
Moreover, these two copper doors are closed. It is possible that they wanted to open these two copper doors, and they were hit by some hidden weapon or caused injustice. They had no time to escape and died here.
At the same time, Ye Xiaoluan led Xiaofu to check the corpse here. He found that most of the dead people died of broken necks, which means that most of them were strangled to death.
Some of them were hit by hidden weapons, and some were killed by themselves. It can be said that they all died, but they did not commit suicide.
He looked at the four outside, but didn't see Zhao Zimo. He was surprised in his heart, where did Zhao Zimo go? Has he entered? Or have he gone somewhere else?
But looking at the copper door, there was no sign of opening. I guess Zhao Zimo was going another way. Maybe what was behind the copper door? So many people died outside in order to get in? He really couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the old monk, Master Jiudeng, also came to the bronze gate. He used to be a tomb robber. He saw him carefully looking at the bronze gate. When he saw a few big words on the stone gate, he couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly said, "Master Zhang, I think we should leave here, otherwise it would be difficult for us to get out?"
"Master, don't panic, what did you see?" Seeing Master Jiudeng so panic, he knew that he must have discovered something, so Zhang Tianyou asked hurriedly.
"You, look at the words on the copper door." After a while, Master Jiudeng looked at the copper door and pointed and said.
Zhang Tianyou didn't pay attention. Now Master Jiudeng pointed this, and he looked carefully and couldn't help but gasp.
I saw a few big words written on the copper door, but because it was too long, it was covered with dust and spider webs. So if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see any words on it.
The words "Those who enter the underworld die" are written on it. You know, the underworld is a place where the underworld is staying. Could it be that you have come to the underworld by yourself?
In addition, there are so many corpses on the ground, Zhang Tianyou is a little scared.
"Master, are you sure this is the underworld?" Zhang Tianyou asked in a voice that suppressed you.
"Master Zhang, how could this be the underworld? The door says the underworld, but it is actually an ancient tomb. The reason why he wrote this is probably because he was afraid that others would steal his tomb. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are any strange things inside. You have also seen them. The bones of these dead people are the best proof." Master Jiudeng stabilized his emotions and said.
When he heard that it was an ancient tomb, Zhang Tianyou was not as scared as before. He just thought he had really come to the underworld.
"So, these people are all tomb robbers?" Zhang Tianyou couldn't help asking.
"It can be said that, but it is not ruled out that some people have other purposes." Master Jiudeng sighed softly and said, "In life, greed and desire will lead people to evil paths. I think these people are nothing more than these two reasons."
What the master said is true. Like some corrupt officials, they will sooner or later be punished; and like some people who are deeper will go astray. If you want to find no greed or desire in the world, it will probably be difficult to find. Even Zhang Tianyou has his own **.
"Master, since you said this is an ancient tomb, what would happen here? Why are so many people trying their best to find it?" Zhang Tianyou asked strangely.
"I don't know this, this." Master Jiudeng smiled bitterly and said, "So far, I don't even know who the tomb owner is."
"What's the problem with this? Let's just look for it carefully." When Zhang Tianyou heard that this was an ancient tomb, he really wanted to go in and take a look. If there was something good inside, it would be considered that the door was not out of nothing.
"Senior brother, look at the words on the stone wall." At this moment, Ye Xiaoluan stood beside the bronze door and exclaimed.
Zhang Tianyou hurried over and looked carefully. He found that there were actually words on the stone wall. He saw that it was written on it: "Tomb of the King of the Tang Dynasty and the Dongming Kings". There were a few lines of small regular script below.
"A king was born in the imperial family; he did not ask for official positions or money. He only sought immortality in his life; he would only open this door if he had the fate."
These sentences are like a lilac poem, which is very clear and straightforward, meaning that the Dongming king was born in the imperial family and did not seek official position or wealth, but wanted to obtain the art of immortality. Now that he is dead, only those who are destined to open these two copper doors.
People with destiny? So many people have died here, but they have not seen anyone with destiny. It seems that there is no hope for opening these two copper doors.
"Master, do you have a way to open these two stone doors?" Now there was no other way, he asked Master Jiudeng casually.
Master Jiudeng was stunned, thinking that he had discovered his identity before becoming a monk. Then he discovered that Zhang Tianyou was just asking casually, unlike having discovered it.
"Master Zhang, why are you doing in? So many people are dead, why should you take this risk?" Master Jiudeng said earnestly: "Listen to my advice, let's go back quickly, while nothing has happened here yet."
"It's okay, I just go in and take a look. At worst, we can just not disturb any king." Zhang Tianyou lowered his voice and said.
It is said that although it takes some trouble to let Master Jiudeng open this ancient tomb, it is not impossible to open it; however, the stone tablet just said that it is necessary for someone who is destined to open it, so Master Jiudeng cannot guarantee that he can open it with full confidence.
"As it happens, I'll sell it and give it a try, but I'm not sure. Don't thank me if you open it. If you can't open it, don't blame me." The old monk said, taking out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms, muttering something, but I don't know what he was chanting.
After reading for a while, the old monk then took action. He picked up a crowbar on the ground. There were so many people dead in this place, and there were so many tools thrown away. Just pick up a handful of them and you can use them.
He came to the front of the copper door and tapped it gently in each place with a crowbar. After a while, he suddenly pried off a stone stone from the stone door with a crowbar. When he pried open it, he saw that there was an iron chain on the edge of the stone, which was as thick as a child's arm, but it was rusted.
When they saw this iron chain, Zhang Tianyou was overjoyed. Before, when they encountered the ancient tomb that they could not be opened, they had found the iron chain and opened it with force. They really didn't expect that there would be such a mechanism here.
