v1 Chapter 144: Witch's Calamity

"Brother Zhao, have you observed anything?" Xiong Zhiqi himself was looking at the patterns on the steps, but he didn't have any clues. Xiong Zhiqi didn't know what these patterns drew, let alone decipher the deep meaning.

"Don't worry, I'm thinking, are we overthinking it? Generally, these carvings are images of some mythical beasts or beasts, such as the nine sons of Longsheng or some images in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but , The ones here are completely nonsense, even if we are ignorant, it is impossible to say that there are so many images here, but none of them can be recognized."

"Brother Zhao, do you mean that when you draw these things, you are actually trying to make us not think too much, and don't think about the meaning of these images?"

"That's right, in fact, maybe the meaning contained in it is very simple, come on, let's compare, there are thirty-seven different images on the first level, and thirty-seven pictures on the second level, look. It seems that they are all different, but we can try again to see if there are any similarities between these two steps, let’s take a closer look.” Zhao Zhu waved at Xiong Zhiqi, “My mental power is in It was suppressed here, and now it can only be distinguished by the naked eye."

"Okay, I'll look for it too."

Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi began to patrol the first and second steps with the naked eye and their own impressions. After about five minutes, Xiong Zhiqi slapped his forehead and said:

"Brother Zhao, is this, and this, the same thing? They are all turtles, and they have such a big shell on their backs. The inscriptions on the turtle shells are still exactly the same, that is, the two turtles are on the first floor. It's different from the perspective and orientation on the second step." Xiong Zhiqi pointed to the two patterns.

Zhao Zhu looked at it, and sure enough, although there are some differences between the two pictures, they are indeed the same turtle creature.

"Look at the third floor. Is there any such tortoise?" Zhao Zhu asked Xiong Zhiqi.

"okay."

Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi began to search on the third step again. Not long after, Zhao Zhu pointed to a pattern under his feet and said, "This one, the turtle's body is blocked by the pattern of clouds, but the turtle's shell is still exposed. , keep looking, the fourth floor!"

Not long after, the fourth floor was also found, followed by the fifth floor. Up to the thirteenth floor, on each floor, there is a pattern of this kind of tortoise. Although the shape and movement are different, the inscription on the tortoise shell is exactly the same, which proves that it is indeed the same thing painted.

"Brother Zhao, we've all found it, what should we do next?"

"First step on the turtle shell on this layer with one foot. Then go to the second layer, then step on the second layer of the turtle shell, go to the third layer, and try to walk up. Try it." Zhao Zhu said after pondering.

"Oh, I'll come first."

According to what Zhao Zhu said, Xiong Zhiqi first put one foot on the turtle shell on this layer, and then went to the second layer. To start, not much has changed, however. When Xiong Zhiqi got to the sixth floor in this way, Zhao Zhu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw that Xiong Zhiqi's figure was almost translucent in front of him, as if he had already walked to another dimension .

Sure enough, it works.

When Xiong Zhiqi stepped on the tortoise shell pattern on the thirteenth floor, Xiong Zhiqi disappeared in front of Zhao Zhu. Then, Zhao Zhu found the door of the main hall and shook it, as if someone had just walked past. Likely.

Zhao Zhu didn't delay any longer. He walked up to the gourd and painted the scoop. When he was halfway there, he felt that everything around him became a little blurry. Only the steps under his feet were still clear, until he reached the thirteenth floor. Zhao Zhu found that the surroundings were completely blurred and twisted. He could only vaguely see a door in front of him. He pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he stepped on it, Zhao Zhu fell directly.

This is a very steep slope. Zhao Zhu was caught off guard and stepped on the air, and the whole person rolled down the slope. However, Zhao Zhu still relied on his willpower to slow down the speed in the middle. The **** is about 100 meters long. then it is flat;

A hand stretched out in front of Zhao Zhu, it was Xiong Zhiqi's hand,

"Brother Zhao, haha, I just rolled down too."

Holding Xiong Zhiqi's hand and standing up, Zhao Zhu patted the dust on his body and said, "Huh, it's a good place, it's a bit like Dunhuang."

Below the ramp is a corridor, but both sides of the corridor are sunken, and then there are sculptures placed in it, and there are tablets in front of the sculptures.

"Why do I feel like a haunted house? The haunted houses in the amusement parks are also designed this way. One road, put some paper figures for you on both sides, and then get some sound and lighting effects."

"You think too much, will these things be placed in the haunted house? Also the spiritual position of Changping Hou Weiwei." Zhao Zhu read the words on the ranking.

"Mr. Wei, which one is it, I've never heard of it." Xiong Zhiqi touched his head.

"Mr. Wei, I've never heard of it, but there are so many people in history. In fact, what we've heard of is only a small part of it. It's normal that we haven't heard of it. By the way, Marquis of Changping, this is what I remember. A person surnamed Wei was also named Marquis of Changping."

"who is it?"

"Wei Qing."

"I've heard of this, I've seen it in TV shows before, and I even married a princess, right?"

"His sister is still the empress of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I'm guessing, this Wei Wei is not Wei Qing's son, isn't it? In ancient times, wasn't the son inheriting his father's title, Wei Qing died, his son inherited his Changping Marquis title? , that makes sense.”

"There, there is also a tablet there, called... the spiritual seat of the prime minister Gongsun He. Gongsun He, which one is it? Damn it, you can't get some familiar tablets of historical figures out, where are they dug up? The uncommon characters, ghosts know."

"Woo woo... woo woo woo..."

Xiong Zhiqi's voice just fell, and the surrounding wind suddenly picked up.

"Don't talk nonsense, the place where the tablet is enshrined, there are spirits, if you don't taboo, you will really attract those spirits to backlash." Zhao Zhu reminded Xiong Zhiqi.

"Really so smart?"

"Nonsense, or why do many families worship ancestral halls, do you really think it is a feudal superstition activity?"

"Uh... Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, sins, sins, sins." Xiong Zhiqi bowed with both hands, and then continued to ask, "Brother Zhao, who is Gongsun He, do you know? "

"How did I know that there were so many people with the surname of Gongsun in ancient times, and all famous people with the surname of Gongsun in the history books could be listed in a book. In martial arts novels, as long as the surnamed Gongsun is either a beautiful person or an awesome person, there is no one with the surname of Gongsun in the fantasy novels. Family, I’m embarrassed to go out to meet people, and now a Gongsun He suddenly appeared, how do you tell me to tell?” Zhao Zhu shrugged helplessly.

"That's right, then look at the next one, I don't believe it anymore, I don't know anyone... My historical common sense is not that bad." Xiong Zhiqi continued to walk in, and then pointed to another sculpture and tablet and said, " The spiritual position of the Prince of Han, Liu Juzhi! This is a prince, Brother Zhao, do you know him?"

Zhao Zhu frowned and said to himself: "If you ask me what the emperors of the Han Dynasty are called, I can tell you, you find a prince, and at first glance, it is the prince who has not ascended the throne as an emperor. I really can't figure out who he is."

"Uh... This is really blinding, no wonder tomb robbery or archaeology has to find a professional. It is estimated that people who specialize in research in this area will know who it is when they see a person's sculpture spiritual position. After seeing so much, we are still stunned. I don't know a single one."

"However, at least I know that this is a character from the Han Dynasty."

"Okay, that counts." Xiong Zhiqi continued to walk forward, and then he saw a female sculpture beside him, pointed to the tablet and said, "Brother Zhao, okay, I know this, I definitely know it, Han Queen Wei Zifu's spiritual position! Wei Zifu, she has been featured in several "The Son of Heaven", but the actress who played her at the beginning didn't seem to be very famous later, she looks good, it's a pity."

"Wei Zifu?" Zhao Zhu looked at the tablet, read the words on it silently again, then turned his head and looked at the other tablets, his face showing a clear understanding, and said, "I think, I know what is enshrined here. Which characters are they, Nobita, go ahead and see if there is that official, that marquis, those people's tablets?"

When Xiong Zhiqi heard the words, he continued to walk forward for a while, looking at the tablet before each sculpture, and looked at more than a dozen consecutively, and said, "Brother Zhao, it's true, they are all officials and nobles. It sounds like the titles and titles are very tiger people, who is this helping? Why are they sacrificed here together?"

"Have you seen the last part of "The Son of Heaven"?" Zhao Zhu asked.

"Just read the first two~lightnovelpub.net~ It is said that there is the latter one, but I was too lazy to watch it at that time."

"Then you shouldn't have seen the plot of the witchcraft disaster, that prime minister should be the prime minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and that prince Liu Ju should be the heir of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Zifu, Wei Mian, who is Wei Zifu's nephew, They are cousins ​​with Prince Liu Ju, after all Wei Qing is Liu Ju's uncle.

This group of people, these people, all the people enshrined here, all died in the scourge of witchcraft in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because Emperor Wu of Han was not in good health in his later years, his mind was a little dizzy. The so-called traitor and bewitched began to hunt and kill the minister Xungui on the grounds of witchcraft, and even wanted to kill his own prince.

Then the prince, Liu Ju, simply raised his army and tried to come to the side of Qingjun, but he was unsuccessful and was quickly pacified. In the end, he also ended up dead, Wei Zifu, who committed suicide in the palace during that period. Hundreds of thousands of people were implicated in this witchcraft disaster, which caused turmoil in the country and was considered to be a turning point in the history of the Western Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline. "

"Then, what do these people have to do with Xu Fu? Brother Zhao, didn't you say you saw Xu Fu in the ghost tide?"

"Yes, Xu Fu, what does it matter?" (To be continued..)
