The four masters were excited for a while, and then slowly calmed down, but the second master, Mr. Xiao, immediately asked another question.

"Yang Jing, although the authenticity of the imperial seal has been basically confirmed, what about the Wu Zetian Mausoleum you just mentioned? Even if Yuechengzi really brought the imperial seal back to Yuecheng Temple, what is the relationship between this Yuecheng Temple and this cave and Wu Zetian Mausoleum?"

Yang Jing shrugged and said, "It's very simple. That's because the cave that Yue Chengzi found was actually the mausoleum that Wu Zetian built for herself. Unfortunately, the mausoleum was built, but Wu Zetian didn't use it. After her death, she was buried in Qianling Mausoleum by her son, and she went to accompany Li Zhi. So this unused mausoleum fell into the hands of Yue Chengzi. In the end, Yue Chengzi himself died here."

As he spoke, Yang Jing took out another photo. That photo was of the inscription inside Wu Zetian's tomb, which was also the inscription next to the platform where Yuechengzi's skeleton was located.

The inscription on that stele was also carved by Yue Chengzi. At that time, Yue Chengzi had apparently determined that this cave full of mechanisms was actually a tomb of a Tang emperor, and it was also the tomb built by the famous Wu Zetian for herself.

After Yang Jing translated the inscription on the stele taken in the photo to the four masters, everyone realized that this cave hidden deep under the water was actually the mausoleum that Wu Zetian had built for herself.

This mausoleum was ultimately not used, and it became a good thing for the Taoist priest Yue Chengzi.

These photos and so on were all "faked" by Yang Jing in order to verify the origins of the imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu, and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, which were forged by Wu Zetian.

It is obviously impossible for foreigners to take away the imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu imitated by Wu Zetian, and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin. Therefore, if Yang Jing said that he inherited them from Cole Smith, no one would believe him. Especially the imperial seal, if it was revealed, it would definitely cause an uproar around the world. Cole Smith would definitely not collect the imperial seal quietly.

Therefore, these three sets of things can only be found in some undiscovered place in the country.

After much deliberation, Yang Jing decided to reuse Wu Zetian's mausoleum. So before today, Yang Jing took some time to travel to Wu Zetian's mausoleum, not only took a lot of photos, but also put the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, which were imitated by Wu Zetian, back into the mausoleum, and also put some "not very valuable" gold, silver and jade articles around it as a cover.

It is impossible that such a huge tomb of Wu Zetian only has the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin, right? There must be other burial objects.

Of course, as for those precious inscriptions, hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, gilded Buddha statues, calligraphy and paintings, Yang Jing would not put them back. Those things were made public on the grounds of inheritance, and no one could say anything else.

"Master, in fact, in addition to this imperial seal, there are two sets of precious treasures in this mausoleum! Looking at the whole of China, I am afraid that only the imperial seal can surpass the weight of these two sets of treasures."

"Ah? Is there something else in there?" the four masters asked almost in unison.

"That's right!" Yang Jing nodded heavily. "After all, this mausoleum was built by Wu Zetian for herself, so of course there must be burial objects. But there are very few burial objects inside. It is obvious that Wu Zetian died before she had time to put all the burial objects in. However, among those few burial objects, I saw two sets that are second only to the imperial seal! Four masters, those are the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin imitated by Wu Zetian!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. After a long while, Old Liu asked tremblingly, "Xiao Jing, are you sure? Are they really the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin?"

"Master, these are the imitations of the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin made by Wu Zetian. They are not the real Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin."

"Hey!" Third Master Guo patted his thigh, "Even if it was a replica made by Wu Zetian, it is still an extremely valuable national treasure! The real Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and Twelve Golden Men of Qin would probably never fall into Wu Zetian's hands."

"Yes, I guess this is what Wu Zetian used to ward off evil spirits in her own tomb, so she placed the replicas of the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin in the tomb in advance. As for the other burial objects, I guess she died before she had time to place them, so there are only the replicas of the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin in the tomb."

"Xiao Jing, have you taken out the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin that were imitated by Wu Zetian?" Cai Yi asked.

"How is it possible, Fourth Master! The Nine Cauldrons of Dayu are easier to deal with, but each one must weigh at least a thousand pounds. As for the twelve golden men, they are even heavier. Each golden man weighs at least more than a ton. How can I get such heavy things out by myself? Besides, when I was sure that the cave was the tomb of Wu Zetian, I didn't dare to continue exploring. After all, I did something wrong, so I just brought out the imperial seal."

"Hey, you silly boy, what's wrong with this? You did the right thing! Being able to find the imperial seal is an incredible achievement!" Second Master Xiao said with a smile.

"Second Master, let's put aside the question of whether I have made any contribution or not, but I did not dare to explore the tomb of Wu Zetian too much, and the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men were too heavy, so I did not take them out. I just wanted to tell you about this matter, and then let you arrange or notify the higher-ups to inspect the tomb of Wu Zetian."
