The cave hall is deeply sunk. The top of the hall is flush with the position where Yang Jing is standing now, but the bottom of the hall is seven or eight meters deep at the foot.

Obviously, it can be clearly judged from the location and depth that the cave hall is the core area of the whole cave. The cave hall, together with the four caves outside, forms a "Hui" shaped structure. The four caves outside full of mechanism traps are the outer ring of the word "Hui", and the cave hall is the small "mouth" inside the word "Hui".

Yang Jing approached the rock wall at the entrance of the cave hall, looked at it for a while, and then reached out to touch the rock wall, which shook her head in surprise.

If you read it correctly, the cave hall was cut out of the mountain!

In other words, if the four caves outside are the product of natural formation and artificial modification, then the cave hall is likely to be completely chiseled out of the mountain!

By this time, Yang Jing was almost convinced that the cave was not built by yuechengzi at all. He just found the place and took it for himself.

It's just that the ox fork did such a huge project?

Combined with the speculation just made in the cave hall outside, Yang Jing estimated that the cave was probably built by an emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

The emperors of ancient China often began to prepare their own affairs after they ascended the throne. With the ascendance of the throne of a generation of emperors, on the other hand, there were huge construction projects of emperor tombs.

An imperial mausoleum often takes several years or even decades to build. Many short-lived emperors began to build their own tombs after they ascended the throne, but most of the dead tombs can't be repaired well

If this cave is really an imperial mausoleum, in terms of the architectural level at that time, it will take at least ten years to build this mausoleum alone!

With a slight breath, Yang Jing slowly stepped on the step extending downward from the entrance to the bottom of the cave hall.

This step is close to the rock wall on one side. After going down and taking out the battery lights, I just looked at the bottom of some vagueness, and now all of a sudden they are on.

The whole hall is more than ten meters long and wide, about the size of the first cave hall. In the center of the bottom of the hall, there is a raised square stone platform. Next to the stone platform, there is a stone tablet more than one meter high. On the stone platform, a completely decayed skeleton sits there. Between the two thighs of the skeleton, there is a jade box with a radius of less than one foot

The jade box should have been held in the lower abdomen before the skeleton died, but when the flesh rotted, the jade box naturally fell between the legs.

A complete skeleton holds a jade box in his hand. What does this mean?

It goes without saying! This jade box is absolutely of extraordinary significance to this skeleton.

Yang Jing was very excited by this situation. The scene in front of him clearly explained one thing, that is, the thing in the jade box is likely to be the imperial seal!

Yang Jingqiang restrained his excitement and hurried to the skeleton. Only then did he find that the skeleton not only held the jade box, but also had some other things in the skeleton.

On the stone platform on the back of the skeleton, a jade hairpin was dropped. One end of the jade hairpin was carved with Taiji yin-yang fish. Obviously, it was not a hairpin used by ordinary women, but a hairpin worn by a Taoist priest.

In addition to this jade hairpin, there is also a jade handle for dusting on the bones of both hands and arms of the skeleton. As for the wild animal hair on the dusting, it has rotted away for a long time, leaving only such a dusting handle. Since the dusting handle is also made of jade, the handle is not rotten.

At the left arm of the skeleton, there is also a yin-yang ring made of jade.

Obviously, all these things left over show the identity of the skeleton - the skeleton was a Taoist before he died.

Because no matter the jade hairpin with Yin-Yang fish carving pattern, the dust without animal hair, or the yin-yang ring connected by the two rings, they are all ornaments worn by Taoists.

In other words, the identity of the skeleton can be easily revealed - yuechengzi.

If the skeleton was really the son of Yue City, the legendary national jade seal must be in the jade box between the skeleton's hands.

Although Yang Jing was very excited, he didn't hurry to get the jade box, but after stabilizing his mind, he looked carefully at the stone tablet next to the stone platform.

This stone tablet, like the one outside, was carved in Chinese characters. Yang Jing recognized it for a long time before translating the carved content on the stone tablet.

These contents surprised Yang Jing.

The content on the stone tablet is generally like this.

In 904, the first year of Tianyou, Yue Chengzi traveled around the world after he graduated from the Shangqing temple on Wangwu mountain. As a result, he inadvertently got a secret scroll and knew the general location of a mausoleum built by Wu Zetian, the emperor of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, more than 200 years ago. Therefore, he followed the map and spent six years in Tiancheng for three years, That is, in 910, the park found the tomb suspected to be built by Empress Wu Zetian of the Wu Zhou Dynasty.

This time point is consistent with the time mentioned on the stone tablet in front, but the stone tablet in front is not so detailed, and the stone tablet is detailed about how yuechengzi found the mausoleum of Wu Zetian.

Seeing here, Yang Jing smiled. The cave is indeed a tomb of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is actually a tomb built by the legendary Empress Wu for herself.

After all, Wu Zetian took the world of the Li family and set up the capital in Luoyang. Obviously, Wu Zetian had a ghost or a shame at that time. Since the capital of Wu and Zhou dynasties has changed, it is very likely that Wu Zetian did not want to be buried with Li Zhi after she became Queen, so she built her own mausoleum at the foot of Daimei mountain.

But in the end, the mausoleum was not used by Wu Zetian. Although the empress had a dragon change during her severe illness, and Wu Zetian returned the imperial power to the Li family, Li Xian, that is, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was after all Wu Zetian's third son. Therefore, after Li Xian ascended the throne and his mother Wu Zetian died, he directly buried Wu Zetian and her father Li Zhi together.

After Wu Zetian died, she was buried in Qianling by her son and buried with her husband Li Zhi, so the mausoleum naturally has no place to play.

According to the scale of the mausoleum, it is only the female emperor Wu Zetian who can build such a powerful mausoleum. I'm afraid I don't have such financial resources. Of course, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty after Wu Zetian had the ability and financial resources to build such tombs, but the tombs of the Li family were built in the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty. These emperors could not build tombs at the foot of Daimei mountain without their ancestral tombs.

In this way, Wu Zetian didn't know how much manpower and material resources she had spent to build the mausoleum. In the end, she didn't use it, but it was cheaper to cross the city.

The next thing on the inscription is how yuechengzi got to know Li Congke, how he was valued by Li Congke, and how he was summoned to Beijing by Li Congke to become an official in the Tiantai after Li Congke became emperor of the late Tang Dynasty.

It focuses on the process of how to get the national seal.

After drinking the poisoned wine given by Li Congke, Yue Chengzi was not poisoned on the spot because he secretly took his own antidote. Instead, he watched Li Congke sit on the Xuanwu building with his wife, children and mother, holding the national seal in his hand, and then ordered the guards of the forbidden army to light the Xuanwu building, A generation of emperors burned themselves in the fire of Xuanwu building with jade seals and a family.

Because Li Congke threw fire, the whole Luoyang palace was in chaos. The palace eunuchs robbed many treasures and fled, but no one came to the Xuanwu building because of the fire.

After the fire went out, Yuecheng Zi secretly found the imperial seal that had not been burned, and then slipped out of Luoyang palace and returned to Yuecheng temple. However, because the remaining poison was not clear, Yue Chengzi was not well-known for a long time. Finally, he moved all the precious things given by Li Congke when he was a senior official of the Tiantai into the mausoleum of Wu Zetian. Then he left a stone tablet in the cave hall outside and restarted these customs. Finally, he came here alone. After carving this stone tablet, Holding the national seal, waiting for death.

There is no doubt that the skeleton was left by Yue Chengzi, and in the jade box is also the national seal that has been missing for more than 1000 years.

However, in the inscription, Yue Chengzi also mentioned some other things. For example, if there are future generations here, please properly deal with his remains. Another important message is that Yue Chengzi knew that the tomb full of organs was prepared by Wu Zetian, but he did not completely explore the tomb, and he did not enter the main tomb. The gifts he received from Li Congke were placed in a burial chamber.

Seeing this, Yang Jing couldn't help sighing.

Yuechengzi is also a generation of heroes. He thought he arranged such a sinister and desperate mechanism trap before. Now it seems that he guessed wrong before. These mechanism traps were arranged by Empress Wu Zetian.

But no wonder. Although Wu Zetian was domineering, she established the Wu Zhou Dynasty and became the only empress in Chinese history, but after all, she was a woman and married to the Li family. So after she got the world, there must be a ghost in her heart.

Maybe it was the ghost in her heart that made Wu Zetian worry about this and that when she was building her own mausoleum, which made her mausoleum heavily built

Yuechengzi is just poison occupying the magpie's nest.

However, Yue Chengzi can still insist on hiding the imperial seal after drinking the poisoned wine. No matter what aspect, he is meritorious to China. If it weren't for him, no one could tell what would happen to the national seal. But with yuechengzi, although the national jade seal has been missing for thousands of years, it has finally returned to the hands of the Chinese people!
