Even if I shine a flashlight in the distance, I can only vaguely see what appears to be a red jade dragon coiled on the throne.
Since there is no water, they can just walk under the pool and climb up.
The throne inlaid with gold and jade is in front of you, but this throne is not like the common one with the entire dragon disk jumping on it.
On the throne there is only a small part of the dragon's body and tail. The two claws at the dragon's tail rest on the top of the throne's backrest.
The red dragon body is translucent, with silver scrolls inside, which looks radiant under the refraction of the flashlight.
"This dragon body is actually full of mercury!" Xue Liyang said in shock.
The front half of the red dragon did not appear, but plunged into the mural behind the throne, as if it was coming to life, and was flying towards the mural.
The mural depicts the scene of the king becoming an immortal. The immortal energy is lingering on it, and the stretching mountain peaks and palaces are looming in the colorful light.
A red dragon head in the sea of clouds raised its head upwards, looking at the direction in which the dragon's body was dancing, it was connected to the dragon's body on the throne.
A king wearing a python robe, a golden crown on his head, and three long beards with a solemn and peaceful face stepped slowly from the dragon to the sky while the courtiers below were kneeling in obeisance.
At the highest point in the sky, an old man with white eyebrows riding a crane was smiling, and he led countless immortals who had come out of the world to greet King Xian who was riding on a dragon.
In the middle of the golden crown presented to the king is a bead that looks like a human eye, exactly like the Muchen Bead in Jingjue.
Young Master Partridge's eyes turned red, he was frightened, and he was almost ready to cry.
Ecstasy, sadness, rejoicing, and rolling thoughts, for so many years, their family has been doing these knife-edge things, and they have been in and out of the gate of hell countless times.
As everyone wishes, we can finally find the Muchen Bead here, settling the karma of their family for thousands of years.
Xue Liyang also looked excited, "Old Hu, look at the bead inlaid on the golden crown on his head, it is the Muchen Bead that can save our lives."
Partridge Shao Zao already knew about the ghost cave curse on the three of them, and Xue Liyang used this to convince him.
Although I wanted to find the coffin of King Xian right away, I also knew that King Xian’s various efforts should not be taken lightly, so I had to suppress my impatience and continue to watch the rest. mural.
In the corner of the mural, there is also a cauldron filled with corpses of the king and burned as a sacrifice when he ascended to heaven.
"If this is a real immortal, will he go to bring the king to heaven because of these cruel sacrifices?"
The mural depicts very realistically, Lin Ruoyan chose to look at the horrific situation. Didn’t continue reading.
"Anyone who pursues immortality at any cost is a lunatic." The little brother on the side suddenly saidRan spoke.
"There are still things in the apse. Let's go look for them in the apse." The fat man said.
The group turned to the back hall. Hu Bayi walked thoughtfully at the back. He couldn't help but look back at the bronze figures and beasts in front of the hall. He always felt that there was something wrong with the decorations. , there is an indescribable feeling of familiarity.
The front hall is connected to the back by a short corridor, and the back hall is even more gloomy and dark.
Although the back hall is deeper and larger than the front, there are many inscriptions in the hall, and there are eight mural walls arranged in the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams.
There are paintings on every wall, depicting all the economic, cultural, military and sacrificial aspects of the ancient Dian Kingdom, as well as some descriptions of wars. Combined with the texts in the Forest of Steles, it is an ancient book. A complete collection of historical records of the Dian Kingdom.
Xue Liyang originally wanted Lin Ruoyan to take out his camera and take pictures one by one, but he thought that the camera was not in line with this era. Grandpa Partridge Young Master was an extremely careful person and could not reveal that they were from later generations.
Thinking that the Tomb of King Xian still exists in their world, it would not be too late to take pictures then.
Just looked at the contents of the murals with Lin Ruoyan.
King Xian commanded a total of two wars in his life, one was the war with Yelang Kingdom.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Another time was when he proclaimed himself queen and fought with the local barbarians in Zhelong Mountain.
Both of these two wars were complete victories, and even if they were victorious, they would probably not be recorded on the murals.
Relatively speaking, the Yi people were in a worse situation. Their weapons production methods were extremely primitive and backward. They were no match for the Dian Kingdom, which had mature bronze smelting technology, and they caught up with King Xian to occupy their territory.
Many people were either slaughtered or captured by King Xian. King Yi and his family members, as well as the most distinguished people among the Yi people, became slaves of King Xian.
The surviving captives and slaves in this war became the main force in building the Tomb of King Xian.
"Old Hu, Old Hu, come here and see what this is?" The fat man's voice came from the middle of the mural wall.
Several people who were looking at the murals heard the sound and came over. It turned out that he had discovered a strange six-legged tripod in the center of the Bagua in the palace.
This cauldron was surprisingly big, without any carved patterns and decorations, and it was completely black. If the fat man hadn't been impatient to look at the murals and wandered to the cauldron, he still wouldn't have found the bronze cauldron integrated with the darkness.
The cauldron is also covered with a lid and has huge copper rings on both sides.
Instead, the six legs of the giant cauldron were carved into a half-kneeling unicorn, raising its head and roaring towards the cauldron.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ruoyan immediately turned to look at Zhang Qiling.
Because of the light, she couldn't see the little brother's expression, but she could clearly feel the displeasure emanating from him.
Shirley Yang said: "This should be the cauldron where corpses were boiled in the murals. The mouth of the cauldron is still sealed. It seems that King Xian did not turn his corpse into an immortal as said in the murals."
< p> "Why does the tripod have six legs? If it is a cooking sacrificial vessel, shouldn't it be a cauldron?" Hu Bayi had a different opinion."I'll open it."
As Zhang Qiling spoke, he jumped up, grabbed the copper rings on both sides, and flipped up.
The mouth of the tripod was sealed with fire paint. Zhang Qiling took out a dagger and scraped off the paint, then stood up and stood on the tripod's ears.
Insert the ancient black gold knife into the gap, move upward, and at the same time kick the edge of the cauldron cover hard with your right foot.
The huge cauldron lid slipped and rolled to the ground due to his kick, and it hit an unknown wall.
Zhang Qiling... It turns out that it was not an illusion to feel that his power was much greater than before.
Under the light of the flashlight, the contents of the giant cauldron were revealed, which made people sick.
Zhang Qiling's expression remained unchanged, she jumped down, and just said to Lin Ruoyan and Xueli Yang: "You two, don't go up."
Xueli Yang and Lin Ruoyan didn't understand, but they also None of the obedient ones went up.
Fatty Hu Bayi and Young Master Partridge could not restrain their curiosity. Seeing that the younger brother did not stop them from going up, they also jumped up to see the cauldron.
At first glance, Young Master Partridge is doing well, and both Hu Bayi and Fatty are capable.
In the cauldron, there were only ten or twenty naked corpses, including men, women, old and young.
The corpses were piled up in light white grease that was as transparent as skin jelly. There were bright blood stains on the corpses, and it looked like they had been made into wax corpses.
It was exactly as Xue Liyang guessed, it was a cauldron used to cook corpses to offer sacrifices to heaven.
"It seems that the King Xian has died before the ceremony of ascension to heaven was held."
As soon as Young Master Partridge finished speaking, he heard a sound of "clucking" from the woman. Laughter came.
