Chapter 247 Lamp
Anyone who robs tombs must know some knowledge about Feng Shui. The Zhao family's Feng Shui knowledge is a wild way. When learning it, it is to facilitate the division of the gold-based acupoints when robbing tombs. Although it will help others to find a yin tomb and Yang house, it is definitely not proficient. It is definitely incomparable to Feng Shui techniques of the Liu family in Nanjing. However, even so, Mr. Zhao also understands that the name Jiulong Mountain is extraordinary. Xuanmen is respected by Nine and the earth veins are precious. If Jiulong Mountain is really a place where nine dragon veins gather, it is the best treasure acupoint in the world. If such a treasure acupoint really exists, it would be too domineering. There is even a saying that people can not hide in the Nine Dragons Land and only immortals can be buried.
Mr. Zhao immediately realized that the people buried in Jiulong Mountain were absolutely extraordinary, because ordinary people could not bear the power of the domineering and unparalleled earth veins. However, Mr. Zhao's knowledge of Feng Shui was really limited. Although he felt the domineering name of Jiulong Mountain, he could not see the uniqueness of Jiulong Mountain after watching the mountain. Moreover, Mr. Zhao also knew that his visit was not the previous tomb robbery, and he could leave after feeling the risk. This time he came with the people who ate official food. He had no capital to bargain. However, even so, Mr. Zhao still found the team leader with a try-and-see attitude and told the strange name of Jiulong Mountain. By the way, he asked the team leader if he knew who the people buried underground were.
The leader did not hide it. He told Mr. Zhao that according to the exact information, under the Jiulong Mountain is the tomb of King Lu Huang. The name Lu of King Lu was not the Lu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but Zhu Yuanzhang's cross character Zhu Tan. Zhu Tanzi was named King Lu by Zhu Yuanzhang two months after his mother was born. When he was fifteen years old, he was a vassal, that is, he reached his fief. According to records in official history, Zhu Yuanzhang loved this tenth son very much, and this tenth son Zhu Tan also showed his tenth son when he was young.
The emperor's talent, intelligence, learning, respect for wise men, but Zhu Tan had one problem, that is, he believed in Taoism's art of immortality. He would open a furnace and refine an alchemy in his bedroom, and wanted to refine the elixir of immortality. As a result, when he was nineteen years old, he actually took the elixir of immortality he refined and died. After Zhu Yuanzhang heard that, he was angry and cherished all kinds of emotions. In anger, he gave Zhu Tan the posthumous title of Huang, which means death was ridiculous, so this guy was called King Luhuang by later generations.
A few years ago, in response to the call to dig more holes and accumulate grain, the people dug air-raid shelters on Jiulong Mountain and accidentally dug the underground tomb. However, for various reasons, they did not immediately excavate the tomb of the Luhuang King. Now that they remembered this incident, they sent their team to open the underground palace. However, they did not have the experience of opening the large ancient tomb in this way. After being introduced by someone, they found Mr. Zhao, and this is what they are doing now.
Tomb robbers digging ancient tombs is just to ask for money, but those who eat official food will never be so superficial. What's more, Mr. Zhao also discovered that although the leader of the team was holding the red-headed document this time, he was very cautious along the way. It was not as big as the official archaeology before, and it had a certain meaning of "secret operation". Seeing that the leader was so easy to talk to, Mr. Zhao asked: "What is the tomb of the King of Luhuang this time to dig up the tomb?"
When Mr. Zhao asked, the leader who was talking normally just now changed his face immediately. He angrily scolded Mr. Zhao and said, "If you should ask, ask, don't talk too much when you should ask. Not only you, but also the family members you brought, you must control your mouth. This can save your Zhao family and harm you!"
Mr. Zhao was scared at that time. He also knew that these people really had the energy to destroy the Zhao family. He immediately shut up tactfully. He secretly discussed the Zhao family he brought with him but couldn't explain it. He could only remind everyone to be scrupulous. After all, he lived a miserable life in Zhaojiazhuang, but it was better to live without a good death. There was no need to throw his life here. After that, he calmed down and took the Zhao family members to divide the gold and settle the cave on this Jiulong Mountain with the intention of coming to peace. Things went very smoothly. They successfully determined the location of the underground tomb, including the construction and entrance of the underground palace. After confirming these, they immediately started digging holes.
There is no doubt about the professionalism of the Zhao family. They quickly opened the thief hole from the ground to the underground palace and successfully arrived in front of the tomb door. After entering, they found that the underground palace was actually a mountain excavated, and then built bricks and tiles around it to reinforce it, which was very consistent with the architectural style of the ancient tombs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For the Zhao family, when they really entered the ancient tomb, they relaxed as if they had entered the home court, but a sense of uneasiness always enveloped Mr. Zhao's heart - things were going too smoothly.
There are simple anti-theft measures in the corridor, but most of them have been broken. Even if they are not broken, it is too pediatric for those who are professionals to deal with these things. Mr. Zhao thought to himself that if everything is that simple, there is no need for the team to travel thousands of miles to Luoyang to spend Zhou Zhang to invite the Zhao family to come. Even if they want to ask tomb robbers to help dig holes in Jinding Caves, there are more tomb robbers in the world. The Zhao family is not a very outstanding professional person, and there is no need to go to the Zhao family at all.
The pie will never fall from the sky for no reason. When a good thing is coming for no reason, you should be more careful. This is what Mr. Zhao, who has always been cautious, is in his mind. But now he is helpless, even if Mr. Zhao is worried, it will be useless. They have to continue walking forward. After passing through the corridor, they opened the first stone door on the other side of the Vajra Wall. Not far away, they saw another stone door. The stone door was painted with heavy vermilion paint and carved round breast door nails on the stone door. Mr. Zhao raised his flashlight and looked at the door nails on the door, and his brows immediately frowned.
Before opening an ancient tomb, tomb robbers sometimes don’t know whose tomb is underground. They may not understand history, but they will infer the identity of the tomb owner based on some things in the tomb. Because in ancient times, the rituals were very strict, and the construction specifications of the underground palace, the shape of the tiles, the carvings in the tomb, etc. were all linked to the identity of the tomb owner. The captain of the team said that this underground palace was the underground palace of the Luhuang King. The Luhuang King died suddenly at the age of nineteen and was just a vassal king. However, the round breast door nails on the tomb door were nineteen rows, ninety-nine eighty-one. According to etiquette, the door nails of the vassal king must not be ninety-nine eighty-one. This is the number that the emperor can only have.
Others in the Zhao family also discovered this problem. They all looked at Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao shook his head gently and told them not to speak. At this time, they should be cautious in their words and actions. Mr. Zhao was stroking around the door and found that the mechanism of the door had been destroyed, but this was definitely not a problem for Mr. Zhao and the others. Soon they opened the huge vermilion stone door and officially entered the tomb. The moment they opened the door, a strange fragrance wrapped them up.
It was an indescribable fragrance, which smelled refreshing. Because they were worried that it was an anti-theft method in the ancient tomb, they immediately put on the poison mask. However, even if they put on the mask, Mr. Zhao could still smell that fragrance. After careful smelling it, they could find that the fragrance was mixed with the fragrance of Chinese medicine, which had a little smell of pills.
This Lu Huang King was obsessed with elixirs. He might have buried the elixirs he refines when he was alive in the tomb when he died. Although most alchemists used various metals and stones as materials in ancient times, they would also add many extremely precious medicinal materials to pursue immortality. This fragrance is likely to be the unique fragrance of the elixir.
After passing through the door, there was a large jar behind the door, and there was a faint light from the hill.
Mr. Zhao suddenly felt cold sweat. Logically speaking, this jar should be the ten thousand-year-old lamp in the tomb, which was filled with lamp oil. The so-called ten thousand-year-old lamp is the same as the eternal lamp in the temple. However, there will be no monks who add oil to the lamp in the tomb. Therefore, the lamps in the tomb are generally made very large and can burn for a long time. It is rumored that the lamp oil in the tomb of Qin Shihuang is made of mermaid oil, and a drop can burn for ten thousand years.
And the light in the big tank in front of you seems to be still burning?
Mr. Zhao made a gesture to the people in the Zhao family and signaled him to go to the jar to take a look. The man nodded and walked over. After walking over, he looked at him and immediately waved to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao and the others walked over and found that there was a very exquisite lotus lampstand in the jar. The wick was emitting a faint light. There was a very thick layer of pink oil under the lotus lampstand, which looked crystal clear.
It has been so many years since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and now. The lamp oil has not been consumed much, and the eternal lamp is still burning. Could it be that the legendary mermaid oil is contained in this jar?
Everyone held their breath and couldn't speak in shock. One of the Zhao family seemed to want to see what was strange about the oil. He stretched out his finger to scrape a layer on the surface of the oil and took a closer look. However, when he just scraped the layer and was about to look at it, he suddenly became stunned. Then Mr. Zhao saw a cluster of flames suddenly appear on his fingers, and then it began to spread quickly.
The Zhao family screamed like crazy, shaking their fingers, but they could not extinguish the fire on their fingers. He rolled on the ground in pain. The other Zhao family members wanted to go up to put out the fire when they saw this, but the man was immediately swallowed by the flames as soon as they got caught in the fire. The remaining people immediately stepped aside when they saw this situation. The two people were in great pain. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Zhao desperately, as if they were begging Mr. Zhao to save them, but Mr. Zhao and the others could only avoid them and stay away from them.
Finally, the man knelt on the ground, looked at them desperately and resentfully, and then gradually was swallowed by the flames, and was soon burned into a pile of black charcoal.
