"Then let's just wait like this?" Zhao Ermu looked back at the depths of the stone steps and said, "Since we're all here, why not go up and have a look inside?"
"That's true. The poor man has long wanted to see who the owner of the tomb is. There must be something wrong with his mother's head to be able to build such a ridiculous tomb."
"You two really decide to go up?" He Siniang asked: "I still want to analyze the matter between Fourth Master Xue and Miss Hongyu with you."
"Oh, why are you analyzing? Later, when the water recedes, let's go out to block them. Then we will catch them and serve them with sticks, and we will ensure that they will be accounted for by our eight generations of ancestors."
"You think he is dead, waiting for you to catch him?"
"He won't be able to escape, life or death. Don't forget that my third brother and the others are guarding outside the fight."
"What Zhao Laoer said is right. It will not be easy for the person named Xue to escape, unless there is another way out of the tunnel. As for what secrets are hidden between them, let's figure it out as we go. Anyway, Pindao has no idea now. nor."
"Then let's go, you guys, if you can't win in a fight, it's like you've suffered a loss."
"Aren't you going to suffer a loss? It's treacherous and treacherous to resist a fight. Who said we were in this business..."
The three of them walked up the stone steps noisily, and soon left a few wet footprints in the tomb passage.
At the end of the tomb passage is a half-open tomb door. When you reach the top, there is a large open space in front of the tomb door. On the left side of the open space is a stone tablet, with a lifelike stone sculpture below.
"It's an epitaph." The grim-faced Taoist priest walked straight over and saw that the inscriptions were all written in official script, so he muttered softly: "Finally, some poor Taoist can understand it."
"Who is the owner of the tomb?" Zhao Ermu asked from the side.
"Pindao hasn't started watching it yet! Besides, you don't know how to watch it yourself?"
"I can't read."
"Uh... let me wait until Pindao reads it to you."
The grim-faced Taoist priest turned his attention back to the stone tablet. After just a few glances, his face became serious and he murmured: "I didn't expect that this is a princess mausoleum."
"Which princess?"
"Princess Liu Feiiao of Pingdu in the Former Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty)."
"Have not heard."
"Where's Si Niang?"
He Siniang also shook her head.
The Taoist priest with a grimace could only explain: "They are the sisters of Liu Kang, Prince Gong of Dingtao. Their mother is Fu Zhaoyi, the most beloved concubine of Emperor Liu Xi of Han Yuan Dynasty. Later generations called her "Queen Xiaoyuan Fu"."
The Taoist priest with a grimace was still puzzled when he saw the two of them, so he continued: "Liu Kang is the second son of Liu Xi, so you may not know much about it, but you must have heard of the mother of his eldest brother, the crown prince Liu Ao, and Liu Ao was the later Han Dynasty. Emperor Cheng, his biological mother's name was "Wang Zhengjun", and Wang Mang, the usurper of the Han Dynasty, was the nephew of this "King and Queen Xiaoyuan"~"
"Oh~ So it's her." He Siniang nodded and said: "If you talk about these Wang's aunts and nephews, they are very famous. I remember that the chi horns on the imperial seal seem to have been broken by Wang Zhengjun. Bar?"
"Yes, it's her."
"What do you mean? Does it mean that Yuxi was also buried in the bucket?" Zhao Ermu asked curiously.
"It's a beautiful thought. I am telling you this history just to understand the whole story of the mausoleum. You see." The Taoist priest with a grimace pointed at the stone tablet and continued: "It is recorded in the epitaph that after the death of Liu Xin, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, the Wang family Quickly taking power, Wang Zhengjun proclaimed the then nine-year-old Zhongshan King Liu Qu as the emperor, and let Wang Mang take charge of the military. Then he began to liquidate the Fu family that was promoted by Emperor Ai. It was during this period that the owner of this mausoleum, Princess Pingdu, Escaped from the capital."
"The co-author is a princess in distress."
"Yes, and she was extremely depressed. The Zhizhong said that Princess Pingdu was constantly chased by Wang Mang's soldiers on the way to escape. The whole process was a narrow escape. Fortunately, she was saved by a fallen general. This general was also very strange. In the green He picked up a name on the forest road and actually called him "General Zishen"."
"Zishen...isn't that a mouse?"
"Well, that's why most people in the thieves call him "General Rat"."
"General Rat... This is indeed strange. What happened next?"
"Later, Princess Pingdu followed General Shu up the mountain and married the leader of the village named Xue. Then she took her husband's surname and was called "Xue Shou Owl" from then on."
"It's miserable enough, Tang
The cousin princess actually became Mrs. Yazhai. He Siniang sighed.
"Wouldn't General Mouse be even worse?" Zhao Ermu said, "He saved the person, but in the end he had his head picked off."
"I feel the same way. Why should I call him General Zishen? I should change his name to General Big Wrong Man."
"What if he doesn't like women? Okay, you two, tell us what happened in the end."
"The last part is the process of building the mausoleum, but the record is very brief. It only says that Xue Shou Ou relied on General Zi Shen's skills to dig out mountains and cut rocks to build a mausoleum. This mausoleum is not only Xue Shou Ou's resting place, but also..." said the Taoist Priest with a grimace. As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, as if he saw something strange.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ermu asked doubtfully, "Or what?"
"Well...it's still an eternal curse left to the Wang family."
"ah?!"
"That's what the inscription says, and the whole epitaph ends here."
"What's going on with this nonsense? It's actually related to a curse. Besides, I remember there aren't some exciting words behind the epitaph?"...
"What you are talking about is an epitaph. Epitaphs are generally divided into two parts. The first part is a preface, which mainly records the life of the owner of the tomb, called "Zhi", and the second part is "Inscription", which is used to praise and mourn the deceased. , obviously this is just an epitaph."
"So that's what happened. Why didn't I hear the words crying and howling?"
"Okay, don't interrupt." He Siniang interrupted Zhao Ermu, pointed to the last line of the inscription and said: "This eternal curse left to the Wang family should be talking about the Wang Mang family, right?"
"It must be true. The Fu family was destroyed by Wang Zhengjun's aunt and nephew. This hatred can be said to be irreconcilable. It would not be surprising for Princess Pingdu to hold a grudge to death. Just mentioning the curse makes people think... eh?"
"Taoist Master, have you remembered?"
"That crazy Ji Ling girl! Is this what the curse means?!"
"It's very possible. Think about it. After the girl in red went crazy, she kept repeating the words "Headless python, if you break into the Liu family, you will die sooner or later." Isn't this a curse on the Wang Mang family? What?"
"The curse is indeed true, but she is just a heartbroken person. How can we be sure that it is not her crazy words under the condition of insanity?"
"That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? And Taoist Priest, do you remember that the girl in red thought of herself as a member of the New Dynasty after she went crazy? The same goes for the girl Jiang Sanwan brought back before. They are two unrelated people. Going crazy in the same place, and then speaking very similar words, do you think there can be such a coincidence in this world?"
