Wu Liang suspected that the old boy was doing it as an afterthought, but since there was no evidence, he didn't say anything more and continued to concentrate on his cleaning work.

After hearing this, Bai Jingjing thought about it, but then asked a question worth considering: "Old sir, there is something I can't understand. You said that there was a mausoleum here first, and then someone came here to build one.

Where is the palace? Or was it built first and then someone secretly built a mausoleum under the palace?"

"this……"

Yu Ji was stunned immediately.

While Wu Liang was doing his own thing, he also began to think about this issue.

There are two possibilities.

It's possible that Lu Jing, Duke Hu of Qi, insisted on moving the capital here after he came to power, just to suppress the tomb of Duke Ai of Qi. He just ignored or didn't understand Feng Shui issues at all, which actually harmed himself.

After all, building a royal capital requires large-scale groundbreaking, and it is impossible not to discover a mausoleum underground;

It is also possible that after Lu Jing, Duke Hu of Qi, built the capital, Qi Aigong's brother and family secretly moved Qi Ai's cemetery here. The purpose was naturally to harm others and seize power, and ultimately avenge Qi Aigong, and at the same time better hide the tomb.

…

In this regard, Wu Liang still prefers the second possibility.

Because "Yun Yang" is a harmful thing, and it seems that it should not be able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. No matter how hard it is, Lu Jing, the Duke of Qi Hu, cannot plant this evil under his palace, so there is only one way,

"Yunyang" was transplanted after the new palace of Qi was built.

In this case, if Qi'ai Cemetery is really down here, it is very likely that it was moved here later.

What's more, even if Qihu Gong Lu Jing didn't understand Feng Shui at all, he probably wouldn't be willing to build the palace he lives on top of a mausoleum... In later generations, people were very taboo about buying a building with cemeteries or cemeteries around it, even more so.

Not to mention the more superstitious ancients.

While thinking about this.

Wu Liang has almost cleaned up the bronze vessel with the epitaph on it.

This is a rectangular bronze plate two meters long and one meter wide. Judging from the cross section dug out from the edge, this copper plate is about 10 centimeters thick. It seems that there is no mechanism, it is just laid flat on the masonry.

Just on the ground.

Wu Liang inserted the engineering shovel into the bronze plate and the masonry ground, slightly raised the gap, put his fingers in and lifted it up hard.

Very heavy.

He definitely couldn't lift it with his own strength.

Fortunately, Dian Wei was a discerning man and had already stepped forward to help without waiting for Wu Liang to greet him.

As a result, Wu Liang only felt a lightness on his hand.

With a "creak" sound, the bronze plate had been completely lifted up, revealing a narrow stone step sloping downward.

at the same time.

An air current mixed with the smell of rotten wood also surged out from inside.

"Sure enough, I found something!"

Wu Liang perked up and said happily, "Dian Wei, move this bronze plate to the side and handle it as gently as possible to avoid damaging it."

"yes."

Dian Wei immediately followed suit.

Wu Liang looked back at Yu Ji, and then said: "Old sir, you still have two torches left there. Light one of them, tie it to a hemp rope and throw it away. Let's see what's going on inside first."

"okay."

Yu Ji also quickly followed suit.

After a while, the torch was thrown in along the stone steps.

The vertical height of this stone step is only about 2.5 meters, which is similar to the floor height of later buildings. The ground below is also paved with bricks and stones, but the material of the bricks and stones used seems to be slightly different from that in the underground secret passage.

It can be seen from this that this tomb hidden on the lower level was indeed not built by the same group of people as the underground secret passage.

in addition.

The torch did not go out immediately after it was thrown in. The flame was only slightly smaller when it was thrown in, and it ignited again soon after it hit the ground.
