Chapter 78 The Tomb of the Nine Palaces
Daya and I looked at each other for a while, knowing that Liu Ye would not be in the mood to joke at this time, but we did not see anything. For caution, Daya pulled out the dagger, held it tightly in his hand, came to me, and asked me in a low voice what to do now.
I was also a little confused, so I turned my back and pulled out the compass. I saw that the magnetic needle in the Tianchi Pond of the compass was floating at this time, pointing slightly at the direction of the throne. Seeing this, I felt a chill in my heart. It was indeed because I was afraid of anything I was going to come. There was something strange on the throne, and the yin energy was very heavy, which disturbed the aura here.
I put away the compass, took out a hemp rope from my bag that had long been tied with copper coins, handed one end of the rope to Big Ya, and then made a hidden gesture to Big Ya to signal him to go from the left, and I wrapped it from the right, wrapping the throne with a rope.
This kind of rope is called "corpse-restraining rope". In fact, it is an ordinary hemp rope with an ancient copper coin tied to it every twenty centimeters. I don't know where this rope comes from. I just heard from my grandfather before that it is said that when the grave is raised, it can be fixed to suppress the corpse to prevent corpses from changing or ghosts from rushing into the body.
Before I came this time, I specially prepared one, which was about four meters long. Although I don’t know if it could come in handy, it is better to be prepared than not to be prepared. At this critical moment, I have no idea whether this corpse-control rope works or not. I hope this is not just a legend. The situation is urgent, so I can only take a risk.
Daya and I counted three numbers in our hearts, nodding each other, and then he went left and I quickly wrapped the ropes to the right. The ropes in our hands were exchanged for a while. In just a few seconds, Daya and I closed the seats. Then, we buckled the ropes in our hands and began to tighten the ropes. As the ropes became tighter and tighter, our hearts became more and more nervous, as if the ropes were tied to the tip of our hearts, with chest tightness and shortness of breath, and a little suffocating.
As the rope was tighter and tighter, our palms were sweating at this time. Daya and I carefully switched to one hand to retract the rope, while the other hand held the dagger tightly. It seemed that it was almost done, Daya and I looked at each other, then gritted our teeth and pulled the rope hard, and the rope on the throne tightened. Almost at the same time, a miserable scream came from our ears, and we felt like thousands of ants were consuming our hearts, and we felt uncomfortable all over our body.
A black and fluffy thing finally appeared on the rope buckle. At this time, we were already thrusting our hands and feet, twisting our bodies, and making strange screams.
Black cat!?
It turned out to be the black cat, and I don't know when it ran here again. The wound on the ear chamber looked very light. At this time, the blood had soaked in the entire bandage, and it was still dripping downwards. It was clear that a large pool of blood had flowed from the ground, dark red and black, with a fishy smell.
Liu Ye also screamed there, looking at me and Daya in horror, then pointed at the black cat, but didn't say a word for a while.
The black cat was dead at this time, with sharp teeth all over his mouth, and his mouth did not close. His four claws were tense straight, and his body was already a little hard.
Seeing that the black cat was dead, I had to carefully put the rope away again. To be honest, I never dreamed that it would be this black cat. Although this black cat is not a good person and has been doing it against us, for some reason, seeing Liu Ye's sad eyes now, Daya and I felt a little uncomfortable.
Liu Ye stared at the black cat, his eyes turned red, and he stood there motionlessly. Daya and I quickly walked over to comfort her and told her that although the black cat had no malice towards her, it was also a demonic body. If you leave it in the world, more people will suffer. This kind of thing is something that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth, and death is considered to be liberated.
Liu Ye heard me talk to Daya for a while, and smiled reluctantly, saying, "Actually, I know that death may be the best result for it, but things are a bit too sudden. I always feel that doing this is a bit cruel, but don't worry, I have nothing to do."
After hearing what Liu Ye said, Daya and I could only smile, not knowing whether she was telling the truth or just not wanting to make us feel guilty.
We then looked at the left and right ear chambers, which were still empty and had nothing.
Daya couldn't hold it in anymore, so he looked at Liu Ye and looked at me again: "Let's Liang, girl, did you think someone had done all the treasures inside? Why is this more thorough than the Eight-Nation Alliance? Nothing left is left, and there is no fragment. It's so fucking unkind. I'm so fucking unkind. I'll give people some chances to come back! It's really a bit unremarkable (painted) on the couplet ink on the middle hall."
Liu Ye smiled rare, glanced at the ear chamber, and said to us: "Actually, I'm a little surprised why such a magnificent underground palace has no burial objects, which seems so shabby. Daya said that it is possible that it has been stolen, so there are no things inside, but it is definitely not the thief hole we came in. The hole entrance is so small that it cannot be made out of large things, so there may be another exit. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the underground palace has never been used after it was repaired."
"Not used?" Daya and I were a little surprised.
Liu Ye spread his hands helplessly and curled his lips.
I looked at the current location and recalled the layout in the front hall just now. I suddenly slapped my thigh and remembered it. I always felt that the layout of the underground palace was a bit familiar, but I didn’t think about it. Isn’t this the “Nine Palaces King’s Tomb”!
The pattern of this underground palace is similar to the character "新" in Chinese characters. It is divided into three rows and three columns, and the entire underground palace is divided into nine spaces. The middle part of each row is a hall, and the sides are ear chambers, which belong to the typical "Nine Palaces" pattern, which is the "Nine Palaces" pattern that people often hear now. The "Nine Palaces King Tomb" was used for the construction of underground palaces after the Han Dynasty, and this pattern is generally buried with big figures like "prince", that is, the ministers second only to the emperor or the emperor's brothers and nephews.
From this point of view, the person buried in this underground palace should at least be a king-level figure. If you don’t have to think about this kind of big figure, you must have gold, silver and agate, as numerous as cow hairs, and countless rare treasures. But the empty underground palace now makes people suspicious.
I have never heard of any tomb robbers who can be so clean and nothing is left. It is even more professional than the archaeological team. If it is really made out by the tomb robbers, it is obvious that it is not only the robbers that we came in. There must be a larger robbery hole that can sweep away some gold, silver, large bottles, heavy tools, etc. and clean them up completely.
But after carefully looking at the "smart stones" placed neatly next to the gate, it was not like the tomb robbers who were specially placed. Such a dedicated tomb robber is simply nonsense. I have never seen any thief. After stealing, they helped them clean up the house and retreated only after they were cleaned. If you look at it this way, is the underground palace here really not used after it was built?
All three of us were confused and stared at the gate leading to the back hall.
Looking at the gate leading to the back hall, I suddenly became a little timid. Now, I was a little scared. I was afraid that the back of the door would be empty, and I was afraid that I would have been in vain this time.
Seeing that some demons stared at the door in a daze, Daya and Liu Ye didn't say anything, they both looked at me for some reason. Daya squeezed me with her body and asked me what I was thinking so enchanting.
Only then did I realize that my thoughts were distracted just now and I couldn't tell them. I could only smile bitterly, breathe a sigh of relief, raised my head in the direction of the gate, and signaled to go in and take a look.
The back hall is the main room of the entire underground palace and the core of the underground palace. It was called "Imperial Hall" in the Ming Dynasty and was used to store coffins. The place where we are most likely to find the answer may be there, just behind the door.
