Everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them.
They immediately formed a circle back to back, each took out their weapons, and began to look around vigilantly.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't find anything strange.
If you look carefully, you can find that a blue brick in the wall was turned outwards, and there was an oil lamp hidden inside. When it was turned over, there should be something igniting the fire in the gap. After the friction, the oil lamp was ignited.
This front hall is a pool of sulfur. The ignition point of sulfur itself is very low, making it a good ignition material.
As for how these oil lamps hidden inside the wall were triggered, it was relatively simple. They probably stepped on a mechanism buried deep under the bluestone somewhere.
"never mind?"
"It should be okay!" Bai Lu put away the dagger.
"Damn, I actually got a voice-activated light, so advanced!"
Wang Qiang let out a sigh of relief, took back the engineering shovel, and turned off the flashlight.
Lin Yi stood there without moving.
"If what pops out of the wall at this time is not an oil lamp but a flying arrow, will we still have a way to survive?"
As soon as he said this, everyone felt a little scared.
"That's right. If he has time to install lights here, wouldn't it be more reasonable to set up some mechanism to kill people? What do you think?"
Wang Qiang learned wisely this time and did not rush forward rashly. He also knew to ask for everyone's opinions.
"I think the person who designed the mechanism felt that no one could get here safely from the time of Bai Ji and Shipworm. Besides, this place was used for Zhang Xianzhong's death and his coming to the court. So many mechanisms were installed to assassinate the king. Kill the driver?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Bai Lu's analysis was more reliable.
Girls' minds are indeed more delicate. According to her explanation, this way of lighting up can be explained.
Since he was building a tomb for the emperor, of course he had to do his best to please him and make him feel that he had done a good job.
What's more, the person who came here to personally supervise the work was Zhang Xianzhong's godson.
There should be no son who worries about being beaten by his father, but what son doesn’t want to hear his father’s praise?
This kind of ingenuity is what pleases Zhang Xianzhong the most.
After confirming once again that there was no other danger, the group continued to move forward.
Walking to the seventh-step high platform, you can see the throne placed above.
This throne is carved from a single piece of white marble, and the details are not much different from the real throne.
It is inlaid with gold wire to outline cloud patterns, and thirteen golden dragons are wrapped around it.
The largest one is a frontal dragon, with its head and neck held high, standing in the center of the chair back.
There is a golden dragon coiled on the back and two sides of the pole, with its sharp claws spread out and its figure eager to leap.
The middle grid of the backrest is embossed with cloud patterns and fire beads, and the lower grid is embossed with curly grass patterns.
Behind it stands a white jade dragon screen.
However, no jade case was found in front of the throne, only a set of five yellow glazed offerings.
Includes an incense burner, two candlesticks and two vases.
These five offerings are a fixed combination in the burial system. Especially since the emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked to practice Taoism, these five offerings are also called "five offerings" in Taoism.
"The five offerings are all completed and presented in front of all the people, with the intention of asking for repentance, so that the deceased can ascend to heaven as soon as possible."
It is a beautiful vision for the deceased.
Before each of the five offerings, there is a large porcelain vat with blue and white clouds and dragon patterns, which is filled with white greasy oil and is used as an ever-burning lamp.
In fact, by the Ming Dynasty, these emperors had basically given up the unrealistic idea of becoming immortals after death.
Therefore, the furnishings in these tombs are more pragmatic.
Lin Yi scanned the area around the throne and found neither the so-called dragon case nor the "imperial treasure".
"That's not right, how could it not be?"
Lin Yi was somewhat reluctant to take out the strong flashlight again and looked around the throne.
Qian Sheng also came over to search with him.
"Third brother, it stands to reason that since this central hall is where the emperor handles government affairs after his death, of course the seal must be brought in.
What's more, in "Jiangkou Chenyin", the "Daxi King Imperial Treasure" was not found, only a gold seal of "Yongchang Grand Marshal" was found. "
"That's right. The time is engraved on the golden seal of the marshal. It was the year before Zhang Xianzhong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. At that time, he still proclaimed himself grand marshal. After proclaiming himself emperor, there must be a seal that proves the emperor's identity, otherwise he would not be able to ascend the throne. There is nothing we can do about the ceremony.
Is it possible that the seal was brought in directly and placed in the dormitory? "
"Bedroom? Shouldn't this kind of thing be carried with you?"
Bai Lu asked while holding up the camera to take pictures.
"Sister Lu, you don't know this. During the Han Dynasty, the emperor had a total of six seals, and the other five had their own uses.
Only the 'Royal Seal of the Emperor' is used for enthroning, offering sacrifices, and respecting heaven and earth. It is a symbol of the emperor's status. The 'Royal Treasure of King Daxi' we are looking for is this one. "
Bai Lu nodded.
Lin Yi glanced around.
"In this case, there is no need to explore this nave."
Together, Lin Yi and Qian Sheng decided that it was not worth wasting their time here.
According to the burial system of the Ming Dynasty, only a white marble coffin bed was placed in the left and right side halls, and nothing else.
Because these two places follow the old system and are used as accompanying mausoleums. In the past, the concubines from the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard were buried together, and there would be a lot of funerary objects.
During the Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty, this burial system was abolished. Later, only the coffin bed was placed, and no accompanying burials were carried out. Naturally, there was nothing worth taking.
Therefore, Lin Yi planned to take a large force to continue to the apse, where the coffin was placed, and continue to explore the whereabouts of the "Royal Treasure of the King of the West".
Wang Qiang had already opened the big bag and stuffed the two "Taiping Youxiang" ornaments and four incense burners into them. The bag, which was more than half a person high, was completely full.
Unfortunately, the pair of gilt copper cranes were too strange in shape and difficult to carry, and the base was very thick and heavy, so I had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, he was excited about fishing, his eyes were darting, and he wanted to think about the five offerings, but he was afraid of being talked about and said he was greedy.
I could only quietly follow the steps and stroll up as if nothing had happened.
Lin Yi had long seen through his little thoughts.
"Okay, don't touch those things. It's troublesome to take them out. People who know a little bit about the market will know at a glance that they are things from the ground. That pocket of stuff can almost realize your labor. Everyone, you have a vision of emptying the old bastard’s tomb, and there is still a sleeping palace behind it!”
When Wang Qiang heard this, he laughed awkwardly.
"Hey, I know, I understand. Isn't that right? Lulu is taking pictures here? I just want to experience what it feels like to sit on this dragon chair. Hey, Lulu, wait for me to pose and take some pictures for me. .”
"Where can I sit? I don't know where this place is? Isn't it fucking unlucky? Or do you want to stay here for the rest of your life and be an underground emperor?"
Wang Qiang thought about it and it seemed right.
Still reluctant to leave, he walked to the dragon seat and hugged him, then raised his feet and prepared to go down the steps.
Suddenly I heard an explosion above my head, as if something exploded above me.
Looking up, I saw an umbrella-shaped caisson above.
At the caisson, there is a lying golden dragon with teeth and claws. It lowers its head and holds a pearl in its mouth.
The explosive sound just now was the sound of the orb exploding.
