Chapter 82 Entering the Imperial Mausoleum
Qiao Niannian's first impression of Shen Jingrong was that she disliked her.
Coincidentally, Shen Jingrong didn't like Qiao Niannian either. She
was small but thoughtful, and she was quite capable of tricking the prince into bringing her here.
Shen Jingrong guessed that the emperor might not know about this.
It seemed that she should report this to the emperor after she returned, and believed that the emperor would be able to distinguish right from wrong.
Thinking of this, she immediately felt relieved.
Then she looked at Xia Rongyu.
After not seeing each other for a year, the aura of the prince, who was in a higher position, became more and more stable. His eyebrows were cold, and he wore a dark-patterned black robe with gold threads edging, giving people a sense of stability and luxury.
Shen Jingrong could not help but step forward and salute respectfully.
"Your Highness, Master observed the stars at night and predicted that something was wrong with the imperial mausoleum, so he specially asked me to come back to help Your Highness."
Xia Rongyu nodded slightly, raised his hand and asked Shen Jingrong to stand up: "The Imperial Master is thoughtful."
While Xia Rongyu and Shen Jingrong were talking, Qiao Niannian observed the huge mausoleum in front of him.
This imperial mausoleum was not only large, but also had a very good terrain. To the south, there were layers of green mountains with lush trees; to the north, there was the bank of the Wei River, which was winding and twisting like a silver snake lying horizontally. It was an excellent Feng Shui treasure land.
For Feng Shui masters.
A superior Feng Shui treasure land can gather luck and make the family prosperous.
Dragon veins can not only store wind and water, but also bless the family with wealth and prosperity. They are also closely related to the rise and fall of the dynasty.
This imperial mausoleum was built on this excellent land. Not only can the dynasty prosper, but the royal family can also have descendants. The whole Great Xia Dynasty has good weather and few diseases and disasters.
When Qiao Niannian came, she had already learned about it in advance. The reason why
this imperial mausoleum was built here
is because before the construction of the imperial mausoleum,
the national teacher was specially invited to check the terrain.
Finally, with the consent of the national teacher, this best location was chosen.
Qiao Niannian also checked the environment around the imperial mausoleum. Except for the formation of the underground river, this Feng Shui treasure land has no shortcomings.
But there was an undercurrent, and the environment of a Feng Shui treasure land was changed, forming a dragon head evil.
If things go wrong, the dynasty will decline, many royal heirs will die young, the country will be plagued by plague, and both natural and man-made disasters will be inevitable.
It is precisely because the dragon vein and the imperial mausoleum are so important that the emperor immediately asked Wang Xuanzhi to deal with the matter after knowing that something happened in the imperial mausoleum.
Wang Xuanzhi was also worried for several days, but he could only think of a way to fill up the dark river.
To be honest, this dark river is really difficult to deal with.
But this does not mean that there is no way.
Because the dark river cannot be seen from the outside, it is necessary to enter the imperial mausoleum and check the location of the dark river to determine how fierce it is!
Just when Qiao Niannian was thinking about this in her heart, Xia Rongyu's cold voice rang out.
"Everyone follow me in."
Xia Rongyu took the lead and walked to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
The huge stone door, three people tall, is carved with the heads of twelve ferocious beasts.
This door weighs more than 5,700 kilograms, and ordinary people cannot open it at all.
But this is not surprising.
The imperial mausoleum is of vital importance to the royal family. It is not only guarded by soldiers, but also by tomb keepers with strong martial arts.
It is difficult for ordinary people to get close to the imperial mausoleum.
And the imperial mausoleum does not allow outsiders to enter.
If it weren't for the appearance of the dark river, Qiao Niannian and others would not have the opportunity to enter the imperial mausoleum.
Even if people can enter now, only a small number of people can enter.
In addition to Xia Rongyu and Qiao Niannian, Wang Xuanzhi, Li Yunting, Shen Jingrong, Wei Qingning, and Xu Wenyan can enter. Li
Yunting, Wei Qingning, and Xu Wenyan are Wang Xuanzhi's three disciples.
Shen Jingrong is the disciple of the national teacher.
The four of them are junior supervisors of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and they are responsible for special cases on weekdays.
This time the situation is serious, and other cases cannot be taken care of first. The emperor ordered to solve the dragon vein issue first.
As Xia Rongyu walked to the door.
The gate of the imperial mausoleum was opened from the inside.
Wang Xuanzhi saw it and couldn't help complaining to Qiao Niannian.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince still has face."
"The last two times I came, it took a quarter of an hour to check the token."
Wang Xuanzhi finished speaking, and then whispered: "Nian girl, you must help this time. Don't worry, as long as you help, you can pick any good things from our Imperial Astronomical Bureau."
Qiao Niannian's eyes flashed.
She heard that the Imperial Astronomical Bureau is the richest institution in the entire imperial city.
Because they were dealing with special cases, and they often dealt with dignitaries, these people asked the Si Tian Jian for help, and the rewards they gave were very considerable.
I just don't know how much they can give.
After all, her ancestor's Taoist temple is still unsettled!
Thinking of this, Qiao Niannian said: "Okay, but I don't want your treasures. How about this, if I help you solve the problem of the dark river, you agree to one condition of mine."
Wang Xuanzhi agreed without thinking: "No problem."
The two clapped their hands to swear.
Just when the two clapped their hands, Qiao Niannian felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her. She couldn't help but look out, and then retracted her gaze as if nothing had happened.
But there was a hint of thought in her eyes.
That thought completely disappeared after entering the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as the group entered the imperial mausoleum, the 5,700-jin gate was closed.
The walls of the imperial mausoleum were inlaid with many night-shining pearls, so even if there was no sunlight, it was extremely bright.
At least everyone could see the buildings in the imperial mausoleum clearly.
Walking in, the first thing you see is an open space. Looking inside, you can see four pillars standing in four directions.
On each Qin Tianzhu, there is a lifelike beast carved.
Looking at the walls next to it, each wall is carved with a stone painting. The painting is exquisitely carved and lifelike. Whether it is a woman, fish, insects, or trees, it seems to be real.
This is just the scene of entering the imperial mausoleum. Walking further inside, there is a corridor. There are still exquisite murals on both sides of the corridor. This time the murals are different from the entrance. This time the murals are colored and more realistic. In addition,
a golden lotus lamp holder is hung on each mural. On the golden lotus lamp holder is a night-shining pearl with a baby fist head, which illuminates the corridor clearly.
Qiao Niannian couldn't help but smack her lips when she saw it.
In just a moment, the night-shining pearls, which are rare treasures in normal days, are everywhere in this imperial mausoleum.
And each one is of top quality.
There are also these stone carvings and stone paintings.
Each one is the work of a master.
The craftsmanship of these masters is priceless.
In addition, the lamp holders hanging on the wall are not only made of gold, but also carved into lifelike golden lotuses. Each petal is painted with colorful glaze, just like real lotus flowers blooming on the wall.
In addition, even the bluestone slabs under your feet are extraordinary.
These bluestone slabs are made of the best natural stone slabs, each one is polished to a thickness of a fist. Not only is the bluestone surface smooth and dazzling, but even after thousands of years, it can be guaranteed to be the same as when it was just made.
A craftsman may need a month to polish this piece of bluestone. This corridor is wide and long. Bluestone is the least valuable, but also the most.
You can imagine how much it costs.
No wonder it is heavily guarded. If a thief or someone accidentally destroys these things, the price is incalculable.
Qiao Niannian seemed to be dazzled by the choice.
Shen Jingrong looked contemptuous!
