The long passage seemed to stretch on forever, and the murals on the stone walls appeared to be in a continuous loop.
Each pattern represents a past glory and that hazy, indistinct terrain.
As you continue reading, a profound sense of historical vicissitude washes over you.
It's hard to imagine what a massive undertaking this is; the time required just to carve these murals is unimaginable.
It was downhill, and the Bai family didn't see a platform until they thought they had almost reached the bottom of the mountain.
The surrounding temperature dropped significantly, likely due to the ice covering the surface, trapping the cold air within the confined space.
Even with the presence of ice, the stench of decay in the air was overwhelming, and the air was difficult to circulate.
After reaching the lowest platform, an antique-style wall came into view.
The group walked over, and there were paths leading to both sides.
The passageways on both sides don't resemble modern architecture; they are mostly made of wood.
A faint scent of myrtle permeated the putrid odor.
"This place looks like the Forbidden City."
Bai Yifan glanced at it and felt as if he had traveled to ancient times.
Most antique places are similar, and Bai Yifan didn't know many such places. His first instinct was that they resembled a palace.
"This way."
Captain Zhang had no interest in appreciating the finer things in life; he simply pulled a compass out of his pocket.
A strange thing happened: while it was up there, the compass was spinning wildly, but after it came here, the compass started working normally.
The pointer wobbled and stopped at a certain position.
Captain Zhang lifted his foot and walked towards the passage on the left.
The Bai family members exchanged glances and then followed.
Along the way, there were antique decorations everywhere, and the most common sights were ancient calligraphy and paintings.
It's not the work of a famous calligrapher or painter, but the words on it convey an unparalleled sense of freedom and boldness.
Occasionally, one can see zombies and superhumans lying on the ground, with traces of black or red blood splattered on the calligraphy and paintings.
It adds a lot of strange color to this place.
Rooms appeared one by one on both sides of the road. Bai Yifan curiously reached out and casually pushed open a door.
The door has been there for so long that it creaks when pushed.
Inside the room that Bai Yifan had pushed open, there was only a table and an incense burner.
The table was covered with pedestals.
Bai Yifan didn't even have time to see the words clearly before he quickly looked away.
"Ah... I'm sorry!"
Bai Yifan was so frightened that he dared not open any other houses.
The Chinese people have always respected the deceased, and their memorial tablets are always enshrined in the temple.
Bai Yifan really didn't expect that there would be a ranking system here!
Both sides of the road are lined with these small rooms, and it always feels chilly when you walk on the road.
"The tomb keepers are in charge of the dragon vein. In history, they were the real 'tomb keepers.' Inside, in addition to their own ancestors, there were also royal nobles who hoped to be worshipped here. The imperial tomb was just a smokescreen."
Captain Zhang explained.
The ancients placed great importance on where to be buried after death, hoping to choose a location with good feng shui so that their descendants could prosper for generations to come.
Besides feng shui, there's also the fear of being robbed of graves, as having one's ancestral grave dug up is considered unlucky.
The burial locations of Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao are unknown.
Nowhere has better feng shui than this dragon vein, and no one would have imagined that so many emperors would be buried here.
"Does the emperor really want everyone to be together?"
Bai Yifan shivered.
In ancient times, imperial power was supreme. Logically speaking, the emperor had supreme authority and considered himself the Son of Heaven. He would not have wanted to be worshipped on the same altar as "commoners".
With so many rankings put together, don't you find it noisy?
“After death, people have no say. The tomb keepers can enshrine them wherever they want.”
Captain Zhang gave a soft snort, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
"Even if the ancestors of the tomb keepers are placed first, and the emperors are placed later, no one else will know."
It's all because of feudal superstition!
"It's best to be down-to-earth. No matter how well you plan, you'll still be wiped out!"
Bai Yifan clicked his tongue, a strange sadness welling up in his heart.
The ancestors of the tomb keepers were quite capable, but feng shui is something that humans cannot understand.
"Captain Zhang, you know so much. Do you have some mysterious family history? Like Wang Ge and the tomb keeper?"
The base commander picked at his ear, his head buzzing.
After hearing all this, his only thought was, "The ancients really knew how to have fun."
If it weren't for Captain Zhang, who could have guessed about things like dragon veins and feng shui?
Even with a unique way of thinking, one might not be able to guess the truth of the matter.
"No," Captain Zhang shook his head with a smile. "My eyes are just a little special; they can see some things I want to see."
"for example……?"
The base commander was quite interested.
So far, the most recognized superhuman is Captain Zhang. The base chief has seen that Captain Zhang already possesses several superhuman abilities.
What's most amazing is the ability to predict the future.
Bai Yifan could do it too, but those were just casual remarks, and they would almost always come true.
Captain Zhang's ability to foresee the future is even more accurate, and he can see much more.
"For example, if you want to know something, you can basically see it just by closing your eyes," Captain Zhang said.
