Chapter 300: Underground Palace
I am already immune to Fatty's surprise. Whenever he sees a piece of Shuanghui ham sausage, he will shout: Oh, it's great.
On the other hand, Wang Yuanchao next to me looked surprised and said to me: "Fat man seems to have really discovered something this time. Look at the surrounding environment."
After hearing Wang Yuanchao's reminder, I noticed that the tree hole had reached the end, and there was light ahead, so I quickly quickened my pace.
When we arrived at the front of the tree hole, we discovered that a brand new underground world had appeared in front of us. When we shined a flashlight, we couldn't see the end.
Although the light in our hands is insufficient, we can still vaguely feel that this is a magnificent underground imperial city, and its scale is fully half the size of Shangqiu City!
To be honest, this is quite different from the ancient tombs I have seen before.
The Tomb of Dayu is a place where dragons were imprisoned by taking advantage of the natural dangers of the Yellow River. Because the social productivity was too backward at that time, there were no earth-shattering buildings.
Li Si's tomb is a typical ancient tomb of the Warring States Period. Although there are many traps and traps, it is not grand. Instead, it reveals a hint of Li Si's unique insidiousness.
But the Cao Cao tomb in front of me is so awesome! From a distance, it looks like a palace sinking into the ground.
The towering city walls, deep moats, streets, pavilions and pavilions were all there. I was dazzled by what I saw. I wished I could go back to the Three Kingdoms era and see Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, who dominated the world.
In the middle of these ancient buildings, there stands a palace with a strange shape. The entire palace is made of precious white marble, milky white and translucent. At the top of the palace, there is a blue three-legged snake inlaid.
The scales on the snake's body were carved lifelike, with two sharp fangs protruding from its mouth, and the flat snake head looked extremely ferocious in the darkness.
For some unknown reason, the three-legged snake was like a large luminous pearl, emitting bursts of green light, coating the buildings within a hundred meters with a strange veil.
The light we saw in the tree hole before was exactly the light from the three-legged snake!
Not only was I shocked by the sight before me, but even the fat man who always liked to chatter was dumbfounded.
After a long time, the fat man said to me: "Li Dingdang, pinch me."
I was not polite and took the opportunity to take revenge. I pinched the fat on his belly so hard that the fat man burst into tears from the pain: "Li Dingdang, are you really fucking pinching me?"
"Nonsense! You asked me to screw you."
"Get out of here, Fatty, as far as you want," the fat man roared.
Seeing that the fat man was really pinched, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't stay here anymore! Let's go down and have a look. Such a big underground imperial city must have treasures."
When the fat man heard me mention the baby, he immediately forgot what had just happened. His eyes were like a starved wolf, glowing green.
He howled, came to the entrance of the cave, fixed the rope, and then slowly slid down the steep mountain wall.
Wang Yuanchao, Wang Yuanchao, and the long-legged lady didn't dare to neglect and followed us one after another.
This majestic underground imperial city seems close at hand, but in fact, there is still a long distance from the tree hole to the giant snake palace in the middle.
We found that there were various city gates, streets, and even pedestrians on the road carved out of stone at our feet. It felt like a capital city built for Cao Cao in the underworld according to a 1:1 ratio.
The fat man ignored it and slid down the rope, hoping to touch the treasure inside immediately.
We originally wanted to speed up, but as soon as we landed, we discovered that the mountain wall we came down on was covered with various giant murals.
The mural is very long, almost fan-shaped, surrounding the cliff in front of you!
We have seen many murals like this, but we have never seen murals carved on mountain walls. Because carving murals on tomb chambers and mountain walls are two completely different concepts.
The murals in tomb chambers have generally been specially treated by craftsmen to prevent corrosion and moisture, and can be preserved for thousands of years. However, murals on mountain walls are difficult to handle. If there is a landslide or mudslide, the murals will be destroyed, and they are easily corroded.
Lose.
The long-legged imperial sister obviously couldn't figure out why Cao Cao did this, and cast a doubtful look at me.
I couldn't figure it out, so I had to ask everyone to go over and have a look.
Seeing that the three of us were all looking at the mural attentively, the fat man was too embarrassed to leave us alone, so he had to come back obediently.
"Hey, what's so interesting about these paintings? We've been to so many tombs. Which tomb doesn't have murals? As for being like a curious baby?" After saying that, the fat man was afraid that we would ignore him, so he continued:
"Let me tell you, have you seen the palace in front of you? Even the palace is made of white marble, how can there be no treasure hidden inside? We must not delay for too long, in case the person with the flashlight gets there first.
Our trip would have been in vain."
I saw that although the fat man was talking to me, his eyes never left the palace that was emitting green light, so I knew that he was suffering from greed again: "Haha, I dare not say anything else, but I'm sure that he fought before
The man with the flashlight is not the enemy."
The fat man said disdainfully: "Why are you so sure?"
"Nonsense, if it weren't for the guidance of the flashlight, we would still be trapped in the Great Rift Valley with the Clay Buddha." I glanced at the fat man angrily: "Also, since he is familiar with the road here, he must have been there by now.
After driving past here, if he wanted to take any gold, silver, or jewelry, would he still wait for us to come?"
The fat man thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense, but what's the conspiracy if he does this?"
"So we have to be more vigilant and not miss every detail in the tomb, such as the murals in front of us." I smiled.
The fat man didn't expect that I would come back to the conversation again, and he suddenly became angry and cursed: "Be careful! What can you tell from this broken mural? I guess it must be another trap set by Cao Cao."
"Come on, hurry up and watch! Hurry up, don't end up unable to even touch a good thing..." After the fat man finished speaking, he sat aside and sulked.
At this time, the long-legged lady put down the flashlight and said: "The murals here are very long. It may take a while to read them all."
"Okay, let the four of us watch together!"
At my greeting, everyone walked to the first page of the mural and started reading from the beginning.
It is said to be a mural, but in my opinion, it is more like a giant relief sculpture carved on the mountain wall!
Each relief is lifelike and exquisite, just like a modern comic book. In the Three Kingdoms era, it would have taken at least hundreds of craftsmen and several years to complete such a set of things.
I took a cursory look at the mural, and it seemed to describe Cao Cao's glorious achievements in his life, such as the annihilation of the Yellow Turbans, the Battle of Guandu, the capture of Lu Bu, the Battle of Chibi, etc.
Most of them appeared in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and were recited by future generations for a long time.
"This seems to be the life of Cao Cao!" I said.
"That's right, this is the personal biography that Cao Cao wrote for himself." Long-legged Sister nodded, pointed at the first mural and said: "Look, the man in the first mural is dressed in gorgeous clothes, has no beard, and is cautious.
The man serving the emperor is none other than Cao Cao's grandfather, the eunuch Cao Teng. There is also a line below: Grandfather Cao Teng, his merits are in Sheji."
Just when the long-legged sister wanted to continue talking, the fat man suddenly interrupted the long-legged sister and asked with a blank look: "Wait a minute, did you hear that right? Cao Cao's grandfather was a eunuch? Then
Chapter completed!
