Although the underground palace is empty, the guard work is still relatively strict. Without a pass, even if the guards know Yu Feibai, they have stopped him and cannot let him break in casually.

"Let it go."

At the same time, Professor Wen walked over, signaled the guards to retreat, and then led everyone into the underground palace.

At this moment, Wang Guan and others passed through the tunnel, then crossed the agency door, and officially arrived at the underground palace. At a glance, they saw that the underground palace had turned on the lights, making the dark environment brighter.

Of course, the most important thing is, looking through the light, everyone found that Professor Wen and Mr. Hou were not lying. This place was indeed empty, with no coffins, and no gold and silver treasures as imagined. Although everyone knew that the underground palace should be very big, it was really empty.

Only when you enter it do you realize how vast it is. It’s hard to say how wide it is, but it’s definitely larger than some kind of real estate building.

Moreover, the underground palace also has partitions. Each partition is equivalent to a house. It is similar to a residence on the ground. It is also divided into several entrances and several exits. It is truly a mausoleum at the level of a prince. In fact, this is nothing, as long as you go

After visiting the imperial mausoleum, you will know what grandeur is. They really planned to build a palace underground.

The most famous example is definitely the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, which has been excavated for decades, but it has not been completely excavated until now. Moreover, even the location of the main tomb is still unknown, but just being an accompanying tomb is enough to shock the world.

This underground palace is not so exaggerated, so Mr. Hou initially judged it to be the tomb of a prince. However, now it seems that this guess needs to be changed.

"It should be a mausoleum that has not been officially opened."

Professor Wen muttered: "You have also seen it. Although the underground palace has been repaired, or the general structure has been completed, there is no coffin. Perhaps for some reason, this mausoleum was eventually abandoned."

If you think about it carefully, Professor Wen's speculation may not be unreasonable.

You must know that ancient times and modern times regard death as a destination. Although emperors, generals, ministers, and ordinary people throughout the ages have all pursued immortality, they are accustomed to preparing for things after death before they are alive.

Needless to say, the emperor started building the imperial mausoleum from the moment he ascended the throne. Where to build the mausoleum, what specifications are needed, and even what burial objects are needed are all decided by the emperor himself.

Ordinary people naturally do not have such good treatment. But as I feel older, I will make preparations as early as possible. I have selected the cemetery, made the coffin, and sewn the shroud, just waiting for the day when I close my eyes.

This is due to social trends, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. On the contrary, one day someone passes away, and his descendants prepare these things in a hurry. It makes people feel surprised.

However, even if everything is prepared in advance, it is often easy to be over-prepared.

After all, there were luxurious rich people in ancient times. Maybe at the beginning, they found this Feng Shui treasure land and asked people to build the underground palace. But one day, they listened to the Feng Shui master's slander and felt that the landscape of this land was not good. Or they suddenly discovered another piece of land.

The better Feng Shui treasure land made him change his mind again. Naturally, he abandoned the original underground palace.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, it is even common.

Otherwise, how can we say that there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, white bones are exposed in the wild, wine and meat smells stinky in rich families, and bones freeze to death on the road. Poor people's homes certainly do not have such luxury, only rich people have the qualifications to waste.

"Deprecated?"

At this time, Yu Feibai frowned: "Isn't Mangshan a treasure land of Feng Shui? It is not easy to build an underground palace here. Why abandon it if it is so good?"

"Mangshan is a treasure land of Feng Shui, but it is not necessarily a treasure land of Feng Shui." Professor Wen said with a smile: "According to Feng Shui theory, just being a treasure land of Feng Shui is not enough. It also depends on where the knots of the dragon's veins are. If you look for the dragon's acupoints, you can find them.

The dragon's veins and energy, but there is no place to bury them, sometimes turn good luck into bad luck, so we can't take it lightly."

"So, this is a dangerous place?" Wang Guan asked for advice.

"Almost."

Professor Wen smiled and said: "This place, according to Feng Shui, is the dangerous place where Xuanwu refuses corpses. Xuanwu generally refers to the north, but in Feng Shui, it refers to the mountain behind the cemetery."

"In the true sense of Feng Shui treasure land, the backing must be stable. This is not only for psychological reasons, but also mainly because if the backing is unstable, it will easily collapse."

At the right time, Professor Wen continued to explain: "Why was this underground palace buried? It was because the mountain behind it was washed away by heavy rains, which directly formed a mudslide, and then completely covered the underground palace. Think about it, this situation actually happened,

What is this if not a dangerous place?"

"High, really high."

For a moment, Yu Feibai marveled: "Professor Wen, based on your understanding of Feng Shui, you can still use your spare energy to become a Feng Shui master when you retire one day."

"Bullshit."

Professor Wen laughed and scolded: "I only infer that this is a dangerous place after the fact. If I were asked to look at Feng Shui, I would definitely mislead others."

While talking, everyone slowly came to the wall with the mural. At this time, several archaeologists were studying the mural carefully. When they saw Professor Wen bringing someone here, they took the opportunity to get out of the way.

"Speaking of which, this mural is a bit weird."

At this time, Professor Wen frowned and said: "Generally speaking, the murals in tombs either show the life of the tomb owner during his lifetime, or express his yearning for after death."

"After years of archaeological discoveries, most of the murals in the tombs of princes, generals and ministers focus on depicting the image of the tomb owner as an official during his lifetime, hoping to bring the life of an official who was surrounded by officials and responded to everything to the underworld. Otherwise, they depict the blue dragon.

White tigers, celestial images, clouds and cranes, flowers, auspicious clouds and so on."

Professor Wen gestured: "However, this mural depicts war, which is a bit strange. So we guess that the owner of the tomb may have been a general or something..."

"War scene!"

Everyone took a closer look and found that Professor Wen was right. Although the color of the murals on the entire wall has become somewhat dim after many years, the shapes depicted can still be seen generally.

At a glance, everyone saw that under a city, there were armies with clusters of swords and bows, layer upon layer, as if there were hundreds of thousands of troops, heavily surrounding the city.

This situation is a bit like being plunged into the vast ocean of the People's War. After all, in addition to the army, there are many people singing and dancing in the mural to welcome the arrival of the army, as if they are eating pots of slurry to welcome the king's army.

"What kind of war scene is this depicting?" After looking at it for a moment, Yu Feibai frowned and thought hard: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it."

"Judging from the painting style, it seems to be a Tang Dynasty painting."

At this time, Wang Guan pondered: "The characters in the painting are relatively plump, and the lines of their clothes are elegant. Not only do they have the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasty's wide clothes and large sleeves, but there are also traces of the round collar and narrow sleeves of the Hu clothes. When the two are combined, it is the style of the Tang Dynasty

The clothes show it.”

"Of course, the most important thing is to look at the weapons."

Wang Guan stretched out his hand and said: "Look at these generals, they are wearing Mingguang armor. Their weapons are straight when they are unsheathed, but the tip of the blade is not bent outwards, but inwards. This is clearly the Tang Dynasty sword that is unparalleled in the world."

…”

"Yes, this is Tang Qi who is attacking the city and plundering territory." Yu Feibai was convinced: "I just don't know what force they are attacking? Could it be said to be the Anshi Rebellion?"

Obviously, the murals depict city sieges. However, after the Tang Dynasty brought peace to the world, except for some palace coups, they generally could not afford to use weapons internally, and most of them were external wars. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the country gradually formed a situation of vassal and town separatism.

The conquests between the Jiedushi envoys put the Tang Dynasty in a precarious state, and its eventual demise was inevitable.

At this time, Tang Qinghua guessed: "Maybe this is an underground palace built by a certain Jiedushi."

"Unlikely."

At this time, Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "In the late Tang Dynasty, Jiedushi was equivalent to the Tu emperor in his own territory, and would not be stupid enough to come to Luoyang to build a mausoleum. Moreover, most of Jiedushi had disobedient intentions.

If you want to replace the Tang Dynasty as emperor, how can you paint a mural praising the Tang army?"

"That's right."

Tang Qinghua nodded lightly. Since he couldn't guess it, he might as well stop guessing and wait for everyone to figure out the answer.

"In any case, this should be the tomb of a military general." Yu Feibai affirmed: "If it is the tomb of a prince, noble, or civil servant, it is impossible to paint a war picture."

"You are talking nonsense." Wang Guan shook his head and said: "There are too few scenes in the murals, and there are no clues."

"Yes, other people's mausoleums have murals on the front, back, left, right and right walls, and even the top, but here is just one wall with paintings. It's so economical." Yu Feibai complained: "Since it is a mausoleum and palace, it has been built.

Just use it. If you don’t need it, don’t rush to build it. It’s really annoying to be stuck like this.”

"What's the use of complaining to us? If you can, go and trouble the owner of the tomb." Wang Guan said with a smile, which also made Yu Feibai completely speechless. How can a living person cause trouble to a dead person, unless the living person is dead...

"No more kidding."

At this time, Mr. Hou smiled and said: "Actually, according to our research, the scenes on the murals may not be real wars."

"What's the meaning?"

Everyone was startled and a little hard to understand.

"Just like some murals in tombs depict fairyland and astrological patterns, which are unreal, then the murals in front of you may also be metaphors of images." Professor Wen explained: "It aims to promote the bravery of the tomb owner.

That’s all, it may not be a real military exploit.”

"Well, it's not impossible."

Yu Feibai thought for a while, then nodded immediately and said: "It's like the emperor is encircling. You don't necessarily need to hunt with your own hands. You only need to make last kills, and you can still promote your bravery."
