Chapter 809: The Rules of the Jing Family (Second Update)
"Old man Jing, is this exit the last escape route left for himself by the craftsman who repaired the tomb." Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Jing Wanjun.
"What the lord said is not comprehensive, the craftsmen who built the imperial tomb for the emperor are not all buried in the imperial tomb in the end, as in folklore."
"Instead, only a small number of people, that is, a few people who have mastered the distribution of traps and important information in the Imperial Tomb, will be left in the Imperial Tomb."
"So the exit that the lord saw was the escape secret passage left by the Jing family for himself. However, the Jing family is more principled, and after leaving the imperial tomb, they will remain incognito. β
"And in the secret passage to enter the Imperial Tomb, place more traps. So even if someone finds it, it's hard to get through. Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai.
This is also the reason why Jing Wanjun did not bring them here. Because Jing Wanjun can't break their oath.
In fact, in Li Tai's heart, he said that all the craftsmen who repaired the emperor's mausoleum were buried. It's also skeptical. After all, the location of the imperial mausoleum is not very secret.
And not, as later generations say, in order to hide the location of the imperial tomb. That's why the craftsmen who repaired the emperor's mausoleum were buried.
Since the location of the imperial tomb is placed in front of the world. And why let the craftsmen who built the emperor's mausoleum be buried. It is inexplicable to reason and reason.
Hearing Jing Wanjun's words today, Li Tai understood the real reason. To put it bluntly, it is the person who stays in the imperial tomb to be buried. Not an ordinary craftsman, but a designer of the Imperial Tomb.
"Lord, we will have time to talk about these things in the future. Now the key is to quickly take the emperor and queen out. Luo Huan opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
After Li Tai nodded, he let Jing Wanjun enter the secret passage first. After all, Jing Wanjun knows a little more about the secret passage left by the Jing family than others.
When Li Tai and the others entered the secret passage one after another, the entrance to the passage at the tomb door merged again. It was as if no one had ever appeared in front of the Imperial Tomb.
After entering the secret passage, it is absolutely impossible to reach out and lose your fingers. However, now that Li Tai has mastered the use of electricity, it is naturally impossible to use candle torches to illuminate it.
Because the battery has already been produced by Gao Ping, all four of them are holding a flashlight in their hands at this time. Shine the light ahead as the day.
I saw a spacious space in front of me that was six or seven meters wide, more than ten meters high, and fifty or sixty meters long. appeared in front of Li Tai and others.
There is no exit to this space, as if it were an enclosed space. But everyone knows in their hearts, don't look at this empty place. But it's definitely murderous.
I saw Jing Wanjun take out an iron ball from his arms and roll forward gently. As the iron ball rolled, countless crossbow arrows were shot out on both sides in an instant.
Jing Wanjun did the same action three times in a row, and countless crossbow arrows were also shot from the stone walls on both sides.
If you didn't know the situation, you would never have thought that there would be three consecutive crossbow arrows. Then the result is death under the second or third crossbow arrow.
However, Li Tai found Jing Wanjun and did not have the idea of moving forward, but continued to squat in the distance and wait. After a while, the stone walls on both sides closed together in an instant.
The stone wall began to close, and Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai: "The lord quickly put his body against the wall. Wait a minute, the boulder will be closed and there will be a gap a man's width from the wall behind us. β
According to Jing Wanjun's explanation, Li Tai and the four of them let their bodies stick tightly to the stone wall. Soon, the stone walls on both sides were completely closed together.
As Jing Wanjun said, there was a gap between the closed stone wall and the stone wall behind them that was one person's width, and if it wasn't known in advance, it would not have been discovered in the panic.
The stone walls on both sides closed and separated again after a while. But just a moment is enough to turn everyone in this space into meatloaf.
As soon as the stone wall was separated by a wide and narrow area that one person could pass through, Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai: "The lord will pass through here immediately, otherwise after the red cliff returns to its place, all the mechanisms will be activated again." β
So Li Tai and the others quickly rushed forward, and when Li Tai and the others reached the end of the passage, the stone walls on both sides had not yet returned to their original positions.
I saw that Jing Wanjun quickly began to slap on the stone wall, looking like it was slapping indiscriminately. In fact, there is a certain pattern.
At the moment when the stone wall returned to its place, a crack opened in the opposite stone wall. Jing Wanjun led Li Tai and the others and quickly entered the crack.
The crack was like a slide, and the three of them sat on it and began to slide down rapidly. After a period of decline, everyone appeared in a spacious space.
"My lord, this is the main tomb road, and you will reach the main tomb through here." Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai.
"When we leave, do we have to go out from here?" Li Tai asked Jing Wanjun worriedly.
The reason why Li Tai is worried about this matter is because of the current physical condition of Li Shimin and his eldest grandson. It's not so easy to get through here.
"My lord is right, we do have to get out of here. After all, this is the only way not to alarm others and leave Zhaoling. Jing Wanjun nodded and said to Li Tai.
Hearing Jing Wanjun's answer, Li Tai was also helpless. But what can be done now, so he can only nod his head and follow Jing Wanjun to the depths of the tomb.
β¦β¦
Along the way, everyone marched forward according to Jing Wanjun's instructions, without touching any organs. They came to the vicinity of the main burial chamber smoothly.
"My lord, this is the main burial chamber. However, this is not the tomb of the emperor and queen. It's just a faΓ§ade. Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai.
"It seems that the emperor's mausoleum is really not simple, if there is no old man Jing to lead the way. I'm afraid no one will be able to go to this main burial chamber. Li Tai nodded and said.
Then Li Tai and the others walked into the main tomb, which was really magnificent. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings placed on both sides are also available.
At this time, Jing Wanjun had already stood on top of Li Shimin's coffin, and let Li Tai and others all stand on it.
After everyone stood firm, they saw Jing Wanjun activate the mechanism on the coffin. In an instant, the entire coffin slid straight downward.
And the platform where the coffin was originally placed was also closed in an instant. It was as if there had never been a coffin on it.
The coffin slowly fell, and finally came to a steady stop on the ground. If you look closely at the four corners of the coffin, there are four iron cables pulling.
It seems that this should be the real tomb of Li Shimin. So Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Jing Wanjun, "Are we finally here this time?" β
"The lord is right, the two coffins opposite us belong to the emperor and the queen. But this coffin scale, I can't help it, old man Jing. Jing Wanjun said to Li Tai.
"This place will be handed over to this king, and it is not difficult for this king to break this coffin." Li Tai nodded and said.
