After Luo Laoqi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and was pulled up by the Taoist priest with a grimace. The two of them climbed over the high wall one after another. Not far away from their eyes was a palace with lights and people moving around, but there was still a distance between them. The city wall, if you guessed it correctly, should be the "imperial city" buildings such as the Xiangdian and auxiliary halls.
The funeral system of the Liu Song Dynasty still followed the Han system. The imperial tombs, like the imperial palace, were designed in a triple city wall layout. It is the emperor's tomb.
The imperial city in the center of the entire imperial mausoleum is a pavilion modeled after the emperor's residence during his lifetime. Its main function is to enshrine the emperor's spiritual throne. It is also the main sacrificial area for the maidens guarding the mausoleum. After leaving the imperial city, walk along the long auxiliary shrine. At the end, there is the emperor's bedroom and underground palace, and the female servants of the Mausoleum Palace serve the "Emperor" and conduct their daily life in the bedroom.
The grim-faced Taoist priest guessed that the palace ladies were enjoying the palace activities at this time, and the mausoleum should be safe, so he asked Luo Laoqi to follow him closely. The two of them walked quickly along the outer city wall to the mausoleum. They did not want to leave for only a few dozen As soon as I took a step, I could already see the faint candlelight in the dormitory.
The grim-faced Taoist priest did not expect that the mausoleum was so close to the Hall of Enjoyment, but after thinking about it, it became clear that since the Liu Song Dynasty started from Liu Jun, the kings in the country had been in chaos, and the strong Wei invaded from the north, so the national power was not as good as that of the previous dynasty. The current emperor's The construction of the mausoleum was naturally much shabby. By the time his prodigal son Liu Ziye built the mausoleum, it might not even be able to match the scale of his father's.
When Luo Laoqi saw the lights, he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Why are there lights over the Taoist priest's side? Is there someone there?"
The Taoist Priest with a grimace whispered back: "That is the ever-bright lamp placed in the dormitory, but there is no guarantee that no one will be there to take care of it. Let's leave him alone and quickly go around to find the tomb."
Luo Laoqi responded, and the two of them climbed over the wall from the bright building on the side. When they reached the top, they looked back and saw a high raised hill in the night. No need to guess that this must be the top of Liu Jun's underground palace. The earth was piled up in the shape of a bucket.
The two looked at each other, and then jumped off the city wall one after another. In order to avoid being discovered, the Taoist priest with a grimace and Luo Laoqi walked around to the north of the sealing mound. Luo Laoqi unloaded the bamboo basket behind him and took the shovel, shovel, etc. from inside. He took it out and asked, "Where should we start?"
The grimace Taoist only had a rough understanding of burial Feng Shui, and knew that underneath the mound was the main building of the underground palace such as the tomb chamber and the ear chamber, but it was a bit reluctant to expect him to be able to set the entrance to the tomb and lead directly to the main tomb chamber. However, the Taoist priest also had a way to do it, and he just stood on the mound. Drill holes downwards on the central axis of the pile. No matter whether it is farther forward or farther back, the bottom will be the difference between the tomb passage and the back chamber. At most, it will only take two steps. I thought about it and pointed at the slanting earth seal in front of me. He said: "Just fight like this. First hit it sideways for a foot, then hit it downwards. When you hit the tomb brick, come up and call me."
Luo Laoqi nodded and stopped talking nonsense. He picked up the shovel and jumped on the masonry on the edge of the mound to start digging the robbery hole. After a while, the person had disappeared into the robbery hole.
The Taoist priest with a grimace put the Luban hammer and other items needed to open the coffin in the bamboo basket into his backpack, and then came to the entrance of the thief's cave to wait for news about Luo Laoqi. After arriving for more than half an hour, Luo Laoqi still saw no movement. The Taoist priest with a grimace was a little anxious, thinking that the size of the tomb was not that big, and the underground palace wouldn't be so deep, right? He was worried about Luo Laoqi's safety, so he wanted to go in to check the situation. As soon as he entered the robbery cave, Luo Laoqi's head suddenly popped out from below.
The Taoist priest with a grimace breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked: "Why did the fight last so long? The underground palace is buried very deep?"
"Isn't that right? His grandma's is probably seven or eight feet tall. Next, it's up to the Taoist priest. The Sa family is a little hungry. Let's eat something first."
"Okay, you wait above. I'll go in and take a look at the scene." After saying that, the grim-faced Taoist priest got into the thief's cave. He and Luo Laoqi used to fight upside down. They basically divided the labor in this way. Luo Laoqi had a lot of strength. , first dig a hole for the thief to reach the tomb wall, and then pry the bricks and other details. The grimace Taoist priest will do it himself. After getting through, he will first go into the tomb to find out the situation. If there is danger, his lightness skills will be stronger than Luo Laoqi's, and the chance of escape will be Bigger too.
The Taoist priest with a grimace climbed down the thief's cave. The more he climbed down, the more strange he felt, because the entire thief's cave didn't seem to be vertically downward, but had an obvious slope. He cursed secretly, this must be Luo Laoqi. The hole was made crooked, but fortunately it was not too crooked, and the white tomb wall of the underground palace was still exposed at the end.
The Taoist priest with a grimace used a Luban hammer to pry loose a tomb brick. After pulling out the tomb brick, he cleared a hole that could allow people to pass through. Then he lit a candle and placed it at the hole. He knew in his heart that Liu Jun had been buried for less than a month, and the air in the tomb was There shouldn't be a big problem, but out of habit, he still dared to poke his head and look into the hole after seeing that there was nothing unusual about the flames - the first thing that caught his eye was the white tomb wall, and he looked around again. I discovered that there was actually a tomb passage inside. On the right hand side was a closed tomb door, with the top pillar leaning against the door. The tomb passage on the left was so dark that I couldn’t see the depth. The Taoist priest with a grimace sighed and secretly led the way to Luo Laoqi’s thieves. The hole he dug seemed to be much more outrageous than he thought. He actually dug it past the tomb chamber and directly into the tomb passage. No wonder he spent so much time. If his grandma's hole was more crooked, he could have drilled it outside the tomb area.
The Taoist priest with a grimace took out the fluorite and turned it into the tomb passage. He first looked at the tomb door behind him. The painting style of carving dragons and phoenixes clearly belonged to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. There should be a stone door outside this tomb door. Go out through the stone door. It’s Xiangdian.
The grim-faced Taoist priest turned around and began to walk into the tomb passage. After walking about ten steps, another tomb door appeared in front of him. This tomb door was a wooden double door. It was not completely sealed. The inside is held up by a door-sealing post. It cannot be pushed open from the outside, but it can be opened after the door-sealing post is removed from the inside. The reason why this tomb door is designed like this is because most emperors would have some sweet dreams of ascending to immortality in their old age, so leaving a living door in the tomb symbolizes that the tomb owner can have a chance to ascend after becoming an immortal. To survive, thinking of this grim-faced Taoist priest, he couldn't help but sneer, and secretly cursed the emperor, you are just wishful thinking. You have enjoyed all the glory and wealth when you were alive, and you still dream of becoming an immortal when you die. Thinking of this, he pushed the tomb door casually. , just hearing a "squeak", the tomb door in front of him was pushed open by him...
