Chapter 220
Zhaoling.

One of the Eighteen Tang Emperor Mausoleums in Guanzhong.

After the years of turmoil in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum is no longer a mausoleum built by bulldozing, but a mausoleum built on the mountain.

Zhaoling Mausoleum was built on the unique and magnificent Jiuyi Mountain. Standing on the top of the mausoleum, you can overlook the entire cemetery from a close distance, and overlook the Jingwei River from a distance.

Wang Yifang walked side by side with Zhao Wujiang, like a profound scholar, constantly telling Zhao Wujiang about the great Zhaoling Tomb:

"When the Zhaoling Mausoleum was built, Empress Wende was buried in the Xuan Palace first. At that time, there was a plank road, and houses were built on the plank road for the palace people to live in.

The plank road was not demolished until Taizong's burial.

It was also at that time that the situation in Zhaoling was revealed a little. "

In front of the two of them was Prince Li Zhong with a sad face. He was silent and walked up the stairs step by step.

In front were a dead old man and four pallbearers.

The old man is an old man in the palace, who is in charge of sacrifices and other matters. He is walking slowly at this moment, with a respectful expression, following behind the gold and jade coffin.

Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, followed at the end, surrounded by a group of solemn and murderous Zhaoling guards.

Soon, they came to the cemetery.

The majesty and majesty of the cemetery is comparable to the palace city of Chang'an City. In daylight, Zhao Wujiang stepped into the cemetery, but he could feel a chill.

When they came to the entrance of the tomb, they were blocked by the road ahead.

The tomb passage has been riveted by piled boulders, and they cannot get in at all.

Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the old man in white walking tremblingly in front of the passage, kneeling down on the ground with an unusually respectful expression:
"The emperor passed away and passed away, Lord Li please open Zhaoling again!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wujiang faintly felt that the surrounding air seemed to be stagnant.

Master Li?Is it the guardian of the tomb?Surname Li?Who will it be?No, maybe it was just a surname, just like Xu Shiji changed his name to Li Ji. His thoughts were racing.

"Boom."

The sound of rubbing gold and stones sounded, and the riveted boulders in the tomb passage began to move irregularly up and down, left and right, and soon a passage as high as one person and as wide as four people appeared in front of everyone.

The moment the tomb was opened, a monstrous chill rushed down the secluded passage.

The four warriors who carried the coffin looked at the deep and dark passage, their sturdy bodies trembled a little, swallowed hard, and carried the coffin into the tomb.

The old man in white and Prince Li Zhong lowered their eyebrows and followed behind respectfully.

Zhao Wujiang's eyes turned around. Looking from the passage, it was pitch black. He had never seen such a deep darkness. At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the tomb chamber. There was daylight behind him, but there was no light in front of him.

He was about to enter the Xuan Palace, why didn't he see the slightest figure of Yuan Tiangang? He looked vigilant and tightened his mind.

The vast cultivation base poured into the limbs and bones in an instant, and the sapphire bracelet on his wrist was shaking like water waves. He protected Wang Yifang within his protection range, and then stepped into the passage.

The chill quickly spread upwards from the soles of the feet, climbed up the spine, and entered the Tianling Gai, but in the next moment, the chill suddenly disappeared, and the dark passage of the tomb was in front of him.

Different from what you see outside the passage, after stepping into the passage, there is a faint light all around, Zhao Wujiang can see everything in the passage.

He looked back, and Xu Jingzong and Zhao Lingwei also stepped in. The passage was not closed, but the daylight outside the passage had disappeared, leaving only a deep blackness.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was solemn. At this moment, they were entering the mysterious palace.

The passage was long and long, and Zhao Wujiang found that there were complicated bronze patterns engraved on the piled boulders. He speculated that these should be runes that urged the boulders to act as organs.

After a cup of tea, five stone gates appeared in front of everyone.

A sense of familiarity welled up in Zhao Wujiang's heart, he had seen these stone gates when he dreamed of Zhaoling.

"Boom."

The stone gate opened, and countless coffins caught everyone's eyes, among which the gold and jade coffin in the middle of the stone gate was the most conspicuous.

Zhao Wujiang recognized at a glance that this was the coffin of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

The veins on the foreheads of the four warriors popped up, they gritted their teeth and put down the emperor's coffin. The old man in white bowed forward, caressed the inscription on the monument, and recited the sacrificial words in a low voice.

Everyone behind him knelt down with a solemn expression.

Zhao Wujiang knelt on one knee, he didn't kneel to Li Zhi's coffin, but to the coffin of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

There was no sound in Xuangong, only the elder priest whispered.

Zhao Wujiang did not relax his mind from the beginning to the end. After entering the mysterious palace, he did not see Li Zhu, who was honored by the old man in white, nor did he see Yuan Tiangang.

Could it be that Yuan Tiangang gave up this bronze township tripod, and also gave up the Tianshui that might exist in Zhaoling?

Could it be that the use of tricks to kill the emperor is just to seize his luck?Zhao Wujiang thought in his heart, he quietly looked at Xu Jingzong, and found that Xu Jingzong's expression was as usual, there was nothing unusual.

Xu Jingzong, as Minister of Rites, is not wrong to appear here, so does he know Yuan Tiangang's plan?
If I were Yuan Tiangang, how would I enter Zhaoling?Zhao Wujiang substituted himself into Yuan Tiangang, thinking about what he would do.

Either I forcibly break into Zhaoling, which is obviously impossible and has been ruled out.

Either I appeared at the moment the passage opened, stepped into the Xuan Palace first, and looked for the bronze tripod or Tianshui, but Yuan Tiangang did not enter the Xuan Palace at the moment the passage opened.

Either I hide somewhere, enter this mysterious palace together with everyone, and then see what happens.

If so, where would I be hiding?With the existence of the mausoleum guards, how can I hide so as not to be discovered and enter smoothly?
Zhao Wujiang looked around, behind him were Xu Jingzong and Zhaolingwei, he knew the identity of everyone in Zhaolingwei, it should be impossible, not to mention it would be discovered by the mausoleum guards.

So where would I hide?Zhao Wujiang saw darkness, and then he suddenly looked at Li Zhi's coffin.

If it is hidden in the emperor's coffin, no one will dare to offend the emperor to inspect it!
In other words, become the emperor!
Zhao Wujiang remembered that the last person Yuan Tiangang saw before his "death" was Tian Youjiashen, the head of the imperial hospital. He replaced Tian Youjiashen with his own spirit, and had not been found in the palace for many years.

Before Li Zhi died, the last person he saw was Yuan Tiangang except the eunuch Wen Yong, so Yuan Tiangang himself could use the same method to replace Li Zhi with his own spirit!
Zhao Wujiang's eyes were covered with mist at this moment, and the world in his eyes turned gray in an instant. He stared intently at the four wrestlers and the coffin kneeling in front of Li Zhi's coffin.

When he looked at it, his heart skipped a beat for a moment.

In his eyes, the four warriors exuded a dark yellow aura of luck, and inside the coffin, Gaozong Li Zhi with a peaceful expression was filled with a vast purple-gold aura.

Li Zhi is dead, and his luck has leaked out. How could there be such Zijin luck?

The four strong men should be the four Tiangang, and Yuan Tiangang did not just bring a Tiangang Gou Youfang with him when he entered Chang'an.

Sure enough, Yuan Tiangang swallowed Li Zhi's spirit, and Zhao Wujiang grabbed Wang Yifang's wrist beside him, protecting Wang Yifang's whole body with energy.

Just when Wang Yifang looked at Zhao Wujiang in surprise, Zhao Wujiang saw Li Zhi inside the coffin suddenly opened his eyes and grinned, revealing a piercing smile.

"Brother, back!"
