The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Chapter 757: It is an underground palace and also a mausoleum

If Xu Yiyu hadn't realized that he was in the Yidalial Mountains, he would definitely have thought that he was at a film and television shooting base in the country.

To describe it in a way that sounds like nonsense, this underground palace... is really too much of an "underground palace".

Throughout Chinese history, no matter which dynasty, the houses and palaces of that period had very obvious architectural features.

If Xu was unable to determine the exact year when the underground palace was built when she entered it, then when she first saw the scene in front of her just now, she could tell the era when it was built without much hesitation.

——Because the construction style here is obviously Ming style.

This "palace" has very high ceilings. Looking up at the ceiling, one can see the caisson with intricate carvings and clear patterns on the dome.

A lifelike golden dragon hovers in the caisson, and its huge eyes like copper bells look down at the people on the ground with a majestic look, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Inside the palace, various pavilions with flying eaves, small bridges and waterside pavilions, and even banquet halls, desks and bookstores have been reduced in scale by skilled craftsmen and moved into this palace that seems to have no end as far as the eye can see, and are distributed in an orderly manner in this space.

The winding and rugged water veins on the ground of the cave hall extended far to the end of the palace, passing through a prosperous scene that was moved into the mountain, and just stopped at the highest horizontal position in the cave hall at the end.

Although replicating all these complicated buildings into the cave hall gives a sense of fusion and mix and match, the owner of the underground palace seems to have put a lot of effort into making those buildings that were originally not suitable to appear here blend into the environment perfectly and harmoniously without any sense of abruptness.

With the help of the long-burning lamps that gradually lit up in the cave hall, Xu Yiyu spotted the murals painted on the four walls.

Unlike the colorless carvings at the entrance, the murals in this cave hall still have clearly visible colors. Although there are some signs of peeling due to the passage of time, they can still bring unparalleled shock to viewers.

——However, these were not the things that shocked Xu Yiyu the most.

She had the best eyesight among the three, so she naturally saw what was placed near the end of the cave hall.

I don’t know if it was intentional by the owner of the underground palace, but a part of the area at the end of the cave hall was actually set up to look like an ancient imperial meeting hall.

There were countless tables and cushions on both sides of the main road, and on the tables were many wooden boxes and dressing boxes of different sizes, and even a few large boxes inlaid with round copper nails.

These boxes were not locked, and it seemed that the owners did not mind later comers opening them, nor did they care if the things inside were taken away by others.

According to the architectural regulations at that time, the dragon throne belonging to the emperor should have been placed at the highest point of the "Council Hall".

But now, a huge stone coffin is openly occupying the place of the dragon throne, and it is unknown how many years it has been sleeping here.

Compared with other things in the cave hall, the appearance of this coffin is almost abrupt.

Although the shape and appearance of the coffin are not simple, it still seems somewhat out of place in this prosperous and solemn underground scene.

Xu Yiyu even felt that the appearance of this coffin... looked strangely familiar.

When Rong Yan, who was beside her, saw the scene in the cave hall, the look of surprise on his face was even greater than hers.

But he was not just simply surprised, but felt an incomparable surprise.

Rong Yan's gaze had been wandering in this incredible space, and his steps into the cave hall were extremely slow, as if he would never get bored of the scenery here no matter how long he looked at it.

"I'm beginning to wonder whether we are underground or inside the mountain."

"It is a miracle that a cave hall of this size can appear here."

Although Lin Yi was surprised by the scene in front of him, if he had not heard the two exclamations from Rong Yan, he might not have understood the irrationality of this place appearing in Yidali.

He only knew that the emergence of this space might cause another major earthquake in the Chinese archaeological community.

Seeing the expressions on his two companions' faces at this moment, Xu Yiyu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

——This is indeed an underground palace, but it is also a real mausoleum.

She felt the strangeness of the underground palace when she entered it. It was not until she saw the existence of this space that she realized clearly where the strange premonition in her heart came from.

Judging from all the scenes that can be seen now, these dozens of people have really broken into the resting place of an ancient Chinese person.

Although the identity of the tomb owner cannot be confirmed, he is definitely not an ordinary citizen of ordinary status in ancient China.

As to why he chose the Yidalial Mountains as the site for building the underground palace, it will probably always remain a mystery.

The royal family at that time was very particular about the location of their mausoleum, both in terms of regulations and feng shui layout, but no matter what, they would not choose a place so far away from their homeland.

If the owner of the underground palace was a prominent person in the Ming Dynasty, how could he have discovered Yidali, which was so far away at the time, and transported so many building materials to the Aershan Mountains thousands of miles away...

Xu Yiyu raised his hand and patted the top of his head, feeling that there were more and more unsolved mysteries in his heart.

The black cat that had been squatting on her shoulder was silent for a long while, giving the three people a long time to digest the situation. It seemed that it also understood how incredible this space was, and did not immediately urge them to move forward.

After more than ten minutes, Black Cat seemed to have run out of patience with the three people who had been hanging around the "elevator". He jumped off Xu Yiyu's shoulder and ran far away in an instant.

Seeing that the little guy was very familiar with the cave, Xu Yiyu did not stop it. Instead, he silently memorized its route.

If Xu guessed correctly, this space should be the place where this little fellow, who had lived for who knows how many years, stayed the longest in the underground palace.

Although Rong Yan and Lin Yi focused their attention on the surrounding arrangements, they also retained some attention on the black cat that had walked some distance away.

Although Xu Yiyu felt that the scene in front of him was not enough for his eyes, he still focused his attention on the black cat that seemed to be leading the way for the three of them.

"Host, I think it wants you to follow it."

"Yes, I know."

After the Chosen System quickly scanned this overly large space, it turned around and reminded its host.

Xu Yiyu answered his own son in his heart, and wanted to remind Rong Yan who was now absorbed in observing the layout of the surrounding buildings.

Just as Xu Yiyu opened her mouth to remind them, she saw the black cat, which was walking in the cave hall, turned around and glanced at the three of them.

"Meow."

In the spacious and quiet cave hall, the cry of the black cat was amplified countless times by the echo, and was transmitted very clearly to the ears of the three people who were still wandering at the front end of the cave hall.

Whether it was Lin Yi who was just observing, or Rong Yan who was looking at the surroundings with appreciation and inquiry, they no longer lingered in the same place, but after exchanging a glance with Xu Yiyu, the three of them followed the footsteps of Black Cat.

Xu Yiyu's gaze briefly swept across the coffin at the end of the cave hall, and he finally remembered why it looked familiar to him before.

Xu had seen a coffin of the same shape once before.

——Just last month at the treasure auction in the imperial capital.
