But Chu He felt her gaze, turned his head and smiled at her, and said in a low voice, "Azhi, is there really a hell and a heavenly palace?"
Song Zhi was taken aback, with a strange feeling in his heart, he shook his head and said, "The place we are in is a sphere, and it is solid even thousands of meters underground. There will be no hell. As for the sky, the stars are vast, and there is no heavenly palace." , but a sphere like we are."
"The sky is round, isn't it?" Chu He asked in surprise.
"No. The earth is round. How should I put it? On the sea, you can see the sails first and then the hull. This is because the earth is round. As for why we can stand on the ground, it is because of gravity. ...Gravity is the power that exists in the invisible. In short, there is no hell or heaven.”
Chu He paused, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "If there is no hell, how can there be a past life? If there is no past life, how did you come here?"
Song Zhi was speechless.
She really couldn't explain how she got here.The matter of soul wear is too illusory, if she hadn't experienced it in real life, no one would believe it.
Talking about this topic, Song Zhi carefully peeped at Chu He's face.Sure enough, although she smiled lightly, she was not half happy, but lowered her eyes, a little dazed.
Song Zhi secretly sighed.Even if Chu He concealed it well, she could still feel Chu He's uneasiness.But she can't be sure, she came here out of nowhere, and won't go back out of nowhere.
A group of people entered the depths of the mountain from Beppu, and soon saw a wide and neatly trimmed square.
Two straight rows of pines and cypresses lined up meanderingly, like soldiers standing at attention, defending this piece of land mightily.The road paved with white marble on the ground is spacious and extends to the archways, temples, gates, stone figurines...
At this time, elite soldiers standing with spears were lined up on both sides, as well as mausoleum guards, mausoleum guards, supervisors, supervisors in official uniforms coming and going... When they saw Chu He coming, they all knelt down to pay respects.
Chu He asked them to get up.
Dou Tu ordered everyone to perform their duties, and led Chu He off his horse and walked inside.
The brand-new mausoleum does not seem to be a place for cultivation, but rather a palace and high-rise building, which is heavily guarded and orderly.
Walking through the temple, walking up the steps step by step, and after hundreds of steps, you can see the mausoleum that is about to be completed.
I have to admire these ancient people for leveling the top of the whole mountain, digging deep to the bottom, and building a cemetery.Song Zhi stood in front of the luxurious and exquisite palace, amazed.This is the sacrificial temple that must exist on the tomb.
Chu He took her by the hand and led her into the hall, and then walked down through a wide entrance in the hall.Song Zhi heard his heart beating, and Dou Tu, Ming An and others behind him did not follow, but stood guard at the tunnel entrance.
Everything in front of me was too weird.
Chu He built an opening on the temple, which is not the entrance for burials in general mausoleums.The tunnel is very wide and can accommodate five people in parallel, but it is still too small compared to the guard of honor, so it is definitely not a formal entrance.
Song Zhineng felt that they were going down.The further you go, the darker it will be without sunlight. Fortunately, there are oil lamps on the walls, illuminating the entire dark road.
I don't know how long I walked before I reached the end.However, what appeared in front of him was a corridor, and the walls on both sides were beaten neatly and smooth.Walking along the corridor, Song Zhi saw yellow intestines on the wall.
The yellow sausage is a special thing for the emperor's tomb.Finally saw something like a mausoleum.
In the previous life, Song Zhi visited Song Zhi's tomb, so there was nothing to be afraid of such a dark place.What's more, she was accompanied by Chu He.
Walking all the way to a bronze knob door, the door was open, Chu He directly led Song Zhi inside.Inside is an empty tomb, but this is not the main tomb, because the surrounding murals and stone carvings show that this is not the specification of the main tomb.
Song Zhi really wanted to see what was painted on the wall.She pulled Chu He, walked to the wall, and looked from right to left.
The murals are all painted with cinnabar and other pigments, and the colors are bright and magnificent.You can see the skill of the painter with every stroke, which is very delicate.
In fact, the five scenes painted above only show Chu He's identity.Palaces, carriages, ceremonial guards, and costumes all reveal that the heroine's status as a princess is extremely noble.
The painting stopped abruptly when Chu He got married.There is still an empty space in the back, it should be for the purpose of filling in the life story later, or the beautiful vision of becoming immortal and so on.
Song Zhi satisfied his curiosity, and when he turned around, he saw five big tripods in the middle of the tomb chamber, with inscriptions engraved on them.Before Song Zhi could clearly see what was engraved on it, he was dragged inside by Chu He.
"follow me."
Song Zhi had no choice but to give up the inscription on the tripod and follow Chu He into it.After walking through a section of corridor, Song Zhi raised his head inadvertently, only to find that there were shining beads on the top.Those beads are like stars, all over the top.
Only then did she realize that there were some small holes in the tomb passage.Her hair stood on end for an instant, and she followed Chu He closely.According to her experience, there is no need to guess, those holes are used to deal with tomb robbers who break into this place.It may be poisoned arrows, or it may be some kind of poisonous smoke.
This is not fictional in any novel.In fact, anti-theft methods invented by the ancients emerged endlessly, such as back arrows, quicksand, charcoal, mercury...
This is all history.Facts have proved that the most effective way to prevent theft is to fill the entire tomb with boulders and quicksand. Once an external force invades, the sand and stones on it will directly cover it, and boulders can effectively resist burglars.
Sensing that Song Zhi seemed to have seen through the arrangement here, Chu He curled his lips without any trace.She glanced at Song Zhi and pulled her hand tighter.
At the end of the corridor is another door.This is a stone door with the thickness of an arm's width. If there is no special key and technique to open it, even the technology of later generations may not be able to open it.It's just that Song Zhi knows that the key to this kind of door has been cracked by experts in later generations.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by.
Chu He immediately pulled Song Zhi to hide in a safe place, leaned against the wall and looked at the place where the shadow flashed past, his eyes turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "Who?"
The answer to Chu He was a gun shot from behind.
Chu He took Song Zhi to hide in the direction of the tomb of the master of the underground palace without a weapon, and nailed it to the wall.
Chu He's complexion changed. At this moment, she saw clearly that there was not only one assassin following her, but three elite soldiers carrying guns.
These people were still building a tomb for her a few days ago, and today they took advantage of her and Song Zhi's unpreparedness to take her life.
Song Zhi was also annoyed, the three police officers clearly wanted her and Chu He to die here.
It doesn't matter who sent these people, if Dou Tu finds that they haven't come down for a long time, he will definitely bring someone to check, as long as they last for a while, nothing will happen.But the problem was that these people were all holding crossbows, Song Zhi and Chu He didn't have swords, so they were easily injured.
"Go inside!" The exit was blocked, so Chu He could only drag Song Zhi to the main tomb.
Fortunately, Chu He paid close attention to the construction of this mausoleum, so he was quite familiar with the underground palace.
The six cockroaches were nailed to the ground, and Chu He and Song Zhi quickly ran to the tomb where they were buried with them. When turning into a fork, Chu He pressed on the stone wall, and Song Zhi heard the rattling sound of the iron chain being pulled.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of arrows, and the three soldiers rushed over quickly. The holes in the corridor fired random arrows and shot a soldier, who died on the spot.
When the two assassins saw their companions dead, their eyes turned red instantly, their eyes were full of fierceness, and they aimed at Chu He with their crossbows up.
Chu He lowered her body, and the arrow brushed past her ear.Another arrow will fly past Song Zhi's clothes corner, shooting a hole on the ground.
"Damn it! This is a Jing crossbow, only found in the palace!" Chu He gritted his teeth and pulled Song Zhi to continue running.
Relying on his familiarity with the underground palace, Chu He led Song Zhi through the burial chamber and turned into a corridor.
The soldiers behind did not keep up.But this is only a temporary escape from the crisis, there is no other way here, as long as they are bumped into by soldiers, the two of them will probably have an accident.
No matter how fierce Chu He was, he couldn't fight the two armed assassins without worrying that Song Zhi would be injured.
