The cave hall is deeply sunk. The top of the hall is flush with the position where Yang Jing is currently standing, but the bottom of the hall is seven or eight meters deep under his feet.

Obviously, it can be clearly judged from the location and depth that this cave hall is the core area of ​​the entire cave. This cave hall, together with the four caves outside, forms a "hui" shape. The four caves covered with mechanism traps outside are the outer circle of the "hui", and this cave hall is the small "mouth" inside the "hui".

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

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

In other words, if the four caves outside are naturally formed and then slightly modified, then the cave hall is very likely to be completely chiseled out of the mountain!

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

But, what was the awesome person who did such a huge project?

Based on what he guessed in the cave hall outside just now, Yang Jing estimated that this cave was most likely built by an emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

The emperors in ancient China often began to prepare for their own affairs as soon as they ascended the throne. With the ascension of a generation of emperors, on the other hand, the construction of a vast imperial tomb was carried out.

An imperial tomb often takes several years or even decades to be built. Many short-lived emperors start to build their own tombs after ascending the throne, but most of the tombs are not well built until they die...

If this cave was really an imperial tomb, with the architectural level at that time, it would take at least ten years to build this tomb alone!

After breathing a little, Yang Jing slowly stepped on the stairs extending downward from the entrance and walked to the bottom of the cave hall.

The steps were close to the rock wall on one side. After walking down to take out the battery lights, the bottom that was a bit blurry just now was lit up all of a sudden.

The entire hall is more than ten meters long and wide, about the same size as 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, a stone tablet more than one meter high, and a completely decayed skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone platform. Between the two thigh bones of the skeleton, there is a jade box less than one foot in radius...

This jade box should have been held in the lower abdomen during his lifetime, but when the body rotted, the jade box naturally fell between his legs.

What does it mean when a complete bone holds a jade box in his hand?

It goes without saying that this jade box has absolutely extraordinary significance for this skeleton.

This situation made Yang Jing extremely excited. The scene in front of him obviously explained one thing, that is, the thing that was placed in the jade box was most likely the imperial seal!

Yang Jingqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly walked to the skeleton. Only then did he realize that the skeleton was not just holding this jade box, but there were some other things in the skeleton.

A jade hairpin fell on the stone platform on the back of the bones. One end of the jade hairpin was carved with Tai Chi Yin and Yang Fish. This was obviously 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 of a whisk on both arms of the bones. As for the hair of the beast on the whisk, there has been no trace of decay, leaving only a handle of a whisk. Since the handle of this whisk is also made of jade, the handle does not rot.

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

Obviously, these remaining things indicate the identity of this skeleton - this skeleton was a Taoist priest during his lifetime.

Because whether it is the snail hairpin with yin and yang fish carvings, the sick whisk without animal hair, or the yin and yang ring connected with two rings, they are all ornaments worn by Taoists.

In other words, the identity of this skeleton during his lifetime can be revealed - Yuechengzi.

If this skeleton was really Yuechengzi during his lifetime, then the legendary jade seal would definitely be in the jade box between the skeleton's hands.

Although Yang Jing was very excited, he did not rush to get the jade box. Instead, he calmed down his mind and looked carefully at the stone tablet next to the stone platform.

This stone tablet is like the one outside, and is carved in vanish. After Yang Jing identified it for a long time, he translated the contents of the carved stone tablet.

These contents surprised Yang Jing very much.

The content on the stone tablet is roughly like this.

In the first year of Tianyou, that is, in 904 AD, Yue Chengzi traveled around the world after he left Shangqing Temple in Wangwu Mountain. As a result, he accidentally obtained a secret scroll and learned about the general location of a tomb built by Wu Zetian, the Emperor of Wu Zhou, more than 200 years ago. So he followed the map and took six years to find this tomb built by Wu Zetian, the Empress of Wu Zhou, in the third year of Tiancheng, that is, in 910, the park.

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 this stone tablet explains in detail how Yue Chengzi discovered the tomb of Wu Zetian.

Seeing this, Yang Jing smiled. This cave was indeed an imperial tomb of the Tang Dynasty, and it was actually a tomb built by the legendary Wu Zetian for himself.

After all, Wu Zetian seized the Li family's world and set up the capital in Luoyang. This is obviously because Wu Zetian felt a ghost or guilty at that time. Since Wu Zhou even changed the capital, it is very likely that Wu Zetian would not want to be buried with Li Zhi after he ascended the throne and became the queen, so he built his own tomb at the foot of Daimei Mountain.

But in the end, Wu Zetian was useless in this tomb. Although the empress experienced a dragon change during her serious illness and Wu Zetian handed over the imperial power to the Li family, Li Xian, who is the third son of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, was Wu Zetian's third son after all. After Li Xian ascended the throne, after his mother Wu Zetian passed away, he directly buried Wu Zetian and his father Li Zhi together.

After Wu Zetian died, he was buried in Qianling Mausoleum by his son and buried with his husband Li Zhi, so the tomb naturally had no place to use it.

According to the scale of this tomb, it is not that the female emperor like Wu Zetian could have the ability to build such a powerful tomb. If anyone else was afraid, it would not have such financial resources. Of course, the Tang emperors after Wu Zetian had the ability and financial resources to build such tombs, but the tombs of the Li family were all built in the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty. These emperors could not have built tombs at the foot of Daimei Mountain without leaving their ancestral tombs.

In this way, Wu Zetian used the tomb to build it in an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, but in the end he didn't use it, it was a cheaper one.

The inscription next talks about how Yuechengzi met Li Congke, how he received attention from Li Congke, and how he was summoned by Li Congke to Beijing and became the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.

It focuses on how to obtain the imperial seal.

After drinking the poison wine given by Li Congke, Yue Chengzi was not poisoned to death on the spot because he secretly accepted the antidote he configured. Instead, he watched Li Congke sit upright on the Xuanwu Tower with his wife and children in his hand holding the imperial seal in his hand, and then ordered the imperial guards to light the Xuanwu Tower. A generation of emperors held the jade seal and burned themselves to the fire in the Xuanwu Tower.

Because Li Congke threw fire, the entire Luoyang Palace was in chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace took advantage of the chaos and plundered many treasures and fled, but no one came to Xuanwu Tower because of the fire.

After the fire was extinguished, Yuechengzi secretly found the imperial seal that had not been burned, and then sneaked out of Luoyang Palace and returned to Yuecheng Temple. However, because the poison had not been clear, Yuechengzi had not been famous for a long time since he was known, and finally moved all the precious things that Li Congke had rewarded during the period of Taichung in Sitian to the tomb of Wu Zetian. Then he left a stone tablet in the cave hall outside, and restarted these mechanisms. Finally, he came here alone. After carving the stone tablet, he held the imperial seal in his hand and waited for the arrival of death.

There is no doubt that this skeleton was left by Yuechengzi, and the jade seal that had been missing for more than a thousand years was also in the jade box.

However, in the inscription, Yue Chengzi mentioned some other things, such as if a younger generation came here, please properly handle his remains. Another very important message is that Yue Chengzi knew that this tomb full of institutions was the tomb prepared by Wu Zetian for himself, but he did not fully explore the tomb, and he had never entered the main tomb. The rewards he received from Li Congke were placed in a tomb with him.

Seeing this, Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh.

This Yuechengzi is also a hero of his generation. He thought that such a sinister and extremely powerful mechanism trap was arranged by him. Now it seems that he had guessed wrongly before. These mechanism traps were arranged by the queen Wu Zetian.

But it’s no wonder that Wu Zetian was domineering and founded the Wu Zhou Dynasty and became the only queen in Chinese history, but she was a woman after all, and she was a woman who married the Li family. So after she won the world, she must have a ghost in her heart.

Perhaps it was because of the ghost in his heart that Wu Zetian was worried about this and that when building his tomb, and he made the construction of his tombs numerous mechanisms...

Yuechengzi is just a poison to occupy the magpie's nest.
