Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-One Bold Guess

Surprised and surprised, we all leaned forward and looked at that face together. Under the light, this face was brass-colored, with handsome brows and sharp edges. It was a very young face. "Who is this? Do you know each other?" Er Xia kept asking us. Mao Jindao pushed him and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? How could I know this person hundreds of years ago? But he looks very young. He has become the emperor at such a young age. You see, he is much more messed up. it is good!" Ah Yan said: "Well! Look at this costume is indeed the dragon robe and crown of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but this emperor is not someone who wants to be an emperor, and I don't know who this person is!"

I smiled, lowered my head to look at this face again, suddenly a strangeness flashed into my heart, I quickly changed the angle and stared carefully again, and repeated this several times, the more I looked at it, the more strange it became, and then my heart beat violently , I took a few steps back, if I didn't hold on to the handrail of the ladder, I would have fallen off the ladder. Seeing me like this, they were also quite shocked, and followed me inexplicably and backed away. Ah Yan quickly stepped forward to support me and said, "What's wrong? What did you find? It scared you so much?"

I didn't answer her, and said directly to Er Xia: "Look at this face again, don't tell me you don't recognize it!" I am not mistaken. When I said this, Er Xia really panicked, and said to me: "You can just tell me what's going on, don't scare brother!" I went to observe it myself. Monk Mao Jindao Yezhang Er couldn't figure it out, looked at me in astonishment, and then looked at the statue.I gradually controlled my emotions, but my heart was still beating violently, watching Er Xia holding up a flashlight to look around. "No way! Dong Zai!" Er Xia screamed and took a big step back, pointed at the statue with a flashlight and said, "Huanzi! He's really evil! Why does this person look exactly like Dong Zai?"

That's right!The face I observed carefully just now is very familiar to me. It turned out to be the face of our partner who has been with us for many years, the dead Dong Zai. The eyebrows and facial features are exactly the same. Make sure you are right. "Who is Dongzai?" Ayan asked curiously.I briefly told her about Dongzai's situation, and then said to Mao Jindao, "What's going on? Is this the so-called Snake Emperor? How could the Snake Emperor look like Dongzai?" I couldn't figure it out. How can a statue in a century-old underground palace be the same as a tomb robber of our accomplice? We are all dazzled at the same time?

In desperation, I even wondered absurdly whether it was because Dong Zai had been here and carved a statue to confuse other people. Maybe there was nothing wrong with it. Could it be that Dong Zai, who is usually serious, is also a prankster?I shook my head with a wry smile, persuading myself to stop guessing. Mao Jindao was obviously also caught by my question, he shook his head with a smile and spread his hands, turned around and took out the white mask and looked at it, Ah Yan patted my shoulder lightly to signal me to calm down, and they followed Mao Jindao together Jin Dao went to observe the mask.

"What's the matter with this thing? It reappeared in this place, why isn't it used to control the mechanism?" Er Xia wondered, and then moved forward.Mao Jindao held up the mask and said: "I can only tell that the material of this mask is nephrite jade. I really don't know what it is used for. Heizi is not here now. It is difficult for me to explain this, because it largely depends on Combining local customs and special culture!" "It can't be a special culture. Isn't it clearly the style of the Han people here? Look at this palace, the dragon chair and the emperor sitting on it, all in the style of the Ming Dynasty!"

Mao Jindao replied: "Even if it is the style of the Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that people here will follow the customs and have a great integration with the local folk customs. You must know that this is a place densely populated by ethnic minorities. Without their support, This regime is likely to be unstable, and in order to win over these local people, they will more or less respect their customs and integrate their culture." The two were arguing there, I turned my head to one side, I was really tired of their arguing at this time, the statue of Dong Zai's face suddenly dragged me into a denser fog, and I was a little at a loss at the moment I kept blaming myself for not being smart enough.Ah Yan comforted me softly, then turned around and took the mask from Mao Jindao's hand, and put it in front of my eyes.

I immediately reminded her to be careful, this unknown object, it is difficult to guarantee whether there are any poisons, evil spirits, etc. on it, Ah Yan smiled and waved her hand, and then I suddenly remembered the exact same thing I saw in the bamboo building that day. The mask, so I reached out and took it, and turned to shine the flashlight on the inside, changing the angle to search, and sure enough, I saw the black curved line-like object inside. "Look, there's something inside, it looks like a word!" I greeted a few people, pointing at the mask.Mao Jindao looked around immediately, looked at me strangely and said, "Why didn't I find out just now? How did you know?"

I talked to them about everything that happened in the bamboo building that day and the weird dreams, and then quickly turned the topic to the mask again: "Maojindao, is there a recorded text in it, a text that conveys some kind of information to others ?” A Yan nodded and said: "Book collection jade! This may be collection jade. Some special substances are filled in the jade in a strange way, and the words inside must be seen through special lighting." When Er Xia heard this, he quickly raised the mask and shone it with a flashlight. The shadow projected on the wall was a black silhouette of a giant face, without any signs of writing. We stepped forward and carefully changed the angle and distance to try it out. After a while, there was still no sign, so I had to give up resentfully.

"It's a waste of work! There's nothing!" Er Xia complained, put away the flashlight boredly, and went to observe the golden eagle and the throne again.A Yan said: "It seems that this ordinary halogen lamp can't do much, it must be a collection of jade, but I don't know what light source to use!" Mao Jindao said: "I suspect that there is really more than one floor, and there may be a huge underground palace underneath! Just like the walls of the Forbidden City. The locals also say that this underground palace leads to hell, Huanzi! Look, here Is it suitable for building such a palace?"

I replied: "When we came here, we walked through the jungle, and we couldn't observe the pulse of the entire Yellow River!" I deliberately exaggerated, purely for fun in the tense atmosphere. level, but I can see a lot of the feng shui and style inside the tomb, and my secret scroll was not researched in vain. The Nine Twist Pan Snake Palace we entered just now is actually a circular passage surrounding this palace. Mountains produce water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire, yang, water, yin and wood are in the middle, and yin and yang complement each other. Among the four elephants, the dragon belongs to wood, so the four elephants respect the dragon. According to the saying that the mountain is the dragon and the water is the vein, Here is a small dragon vein selected by the builder. Perhaps it is the reason for the small dragon vein. Pay attention to this style. After listening to my long speech, Mao Jindao couldn't help but praised: "I never thought that you would make such great progress after just one year. I guarantee that you have already surpassed me in this respect, far beyond!" Er Xia happily said: "That's right! You have to look at each other with admiration after three days of farewell, let alone more than three hundred days after farewell!" I followed closely and said: "We are each taking advantage of our strengths. For example, when it comes to artifact identification and ancient documents, I'm afraid I can't catch up. The so-called three cobblers are Zhuge Liang!" Ah Yan pretended to be angry and said: "It's just the three of you, so what am I? Why are you so prejudiced!" Er Xia took it over and said, "You are different, we are cobblers, you alone are Zhuge Liang, now one of the cobblers will be under your control in the future!" Ah Yan and I asked him to stop at the same time, and looked at each other. Er Xia quickly suggested that the next step is to find Heizi as soon as possible. Obviously can't go, there are more than a dozen giant snakes opening their mouths underneath! A Yan continued: "There is another question. If this is the Ming Palace, which emperor would be in this place? To be honest, no one would be willing to live in this dark underground life, at least I don't want to!" After speaking, she pouted her mouth, extremely charming. I was waiting for her words, and I stretched out the gold knife to stop her and said, "You finished your performance just now, how about listening to my opinion now?" After speaking, I coughed dryly and continued, "The architectural style of Ming brick and Ming Palace , Ming Emperor’s clothing, basically we will focus on the emperor of Ding Ming Dynasty first. First of all, there are more than a dozen emperors in Ming Dynasty, and there are probably not many who have been here. If there is this ability and this necessity, there are only two. !" Er Xia took it over and said, "You don't need to tell me, I know one of them, and it's the Emperor Yongli mentioned earlier!" "Yes!" Mao Jindao continued, "Don't ignore one more thing, we are just guessing that the Snake Emperor appeared in the late Ming Dynasty based on some legends, but maybe not necessarily, people's rumors are not reliable. It’s not that high, maybe it appeared earlier, it’s just that during the extraordinary period of the change of dynasties, it has attracted more attention for some reason, or it may be that the previous secrecy measures were done well, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all safe and sound. Apart from this Emperor Yongli, of course there is another one sitting on the throne of the imperial palace!" "The one who was taken away by the minority?" Er Xia said first, and I reached out and patted him on the head and said, "You are talking about Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, that's right! He was taken away, but He was caught in the north of Mobei, not in the southwest, the distance between the north and the south is too far, I guess he has never been to this place! Besides, we have to consider it from the perspective of the palace's secrecy first!" "Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi!" Ah Yan suddenly said casually, I was startled, and immediately thought of the name, then looked at Ah Yan and nodded slightly.
