Chapter 385 Agate Lotus Platform
The ground, harvested by the power of banishment, was incredibly flat. As they walked, they looked at the layout of the imperial mausoleum beneath their feet, which had transformed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.
Normally, the place they walked through should be a tomb passage.
The foundations of two rows of walls can still be seen on the ground.
After walking straight through the tomb passage area, the floor turned into gravel; this should have been a tomb chamber paved with floor tiles.
Having confirmed that there was no basement, the group continued toward the center of the tomb.
Judging from the fact that the megaliths were deliberately carved into domes, this place clearly bears some resemblance to traditional Mongolian tents.
As the owner of the imperial tomb, his location was very likely in the center of the tent.
Soon the group passed through the outer area and arrived at the center of the imperial mausoleum.
This should have originally been a circular stone platform with a diameter of over fifteen meters.
However, now only a thin layer remains, clinging tightly to the ground; everything on it was taken into Cheng Feng's imaginary space along with the imperial tomb.
As Cheng Feng approached the stone platform, he discovered a space beneath it.
Because the stone platform was thinned, the space became extremely clear, and even the vibrations caused by the footsteps of the crowd could be clearly felt by Cheng Feng.
"There is a secret chamber beneath this stone platform."
Cheng Feng stopped on the outside of the stone platform. The stone platform was now as thin as a biscuit, so thin that even a child could crush it with one step.
"That's strange. Judging from the location of this stone platform, the coffin of the tomb owner was most likely placed on it."
Who has the nerve to dig a hole under his coffin?
Hei Xiazi stroked his chin with one hand and spoke thoughtfully.
"Just open it and you'll know."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng waved his hand at the stone platform in front of him, and numerous wind blades and raindrops fell evenly on the stone platform.
The next second, a crashing sound rang out, and the stone platform shattered evenly, turning into a pile of rubble that fell down.
After the smoke and dust cleared up a bit, the group stepped onto the edge of the space hidden beneath the stone platform.
The edges of this secret chamber, like the stone platform above, are circular.
However, its diameter is shorter, about two-thirds the size of the stone platform.
The drop from where Cheng Feng and the others were standing to the bottom of the secret chamber was about three meters.
The secret room also maintains a circular space, with its curved walls covered in murals, making it look like a kaleidoscope.
In addition, a huge lotus platform made of agate was placed in the center of the secret room.
This lotus platform is three meters in diameter and is carved from a single piece of agate. Its overall color is red, interspersed with shades of purplish-brown, light green, and ginger yellow.
Under the lights, the lotus platform was crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful, even to those present who were quite knowledgeable about such things.
At this moment, everyone was so stunned by this rare and precious treasure that they even overlooked the person lying inside.
"Congratulations on your fortune, boss! You've found such a treasure. Remember to send me a red envelope when you sell it for a good price!"
Black Bear's lazy voice broke the silence.
"This lotus platform is so beautiful that it seems otherworldly; to measure its value with money would be too vulgar."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng unleashed a powerful gust of wind without hesitation, sweeping away the unsightly object on the lotus platform.
He then immediately put the lotus platform away; it would be a complete waste not to take it.
It's hard to find such a large and complete agate rough stone, let alone its extraordinary carving craftsmanship.
"Oh, so there's a bald monk on the lotus platform. This guy is really bold, actually asking the emperor to be his door panel."
Huo Ling only came to her senses after Cheng Feng put away the lotus platform. A flash of regret crossed her eyes, and then she saw the corpse that Cheng Feng had thrown aside like trash.
"Go down and look at the murals; that should tell you who this monk is."
With that, Cheng Feng took the lead and jumped into the tomb chamber below.
Chen Wenjin and her three companions followed closely behind, protected by Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi, leaving only ten elite members of the Unloading Ridge Army above.
They silently surrounded the secret room, while simultaneously picking up their guns and warily watching their surroundings.
At this moment, the four women in the secret room were somewhat embarrassed. They discovered that there was very little serious content in the murals; most of them depicted scenes of men and women having sex.
Moreover, the bizarre nature of some of the poses was something they had never even imagined, and this experience certainly broadened their horizons.
Cheng Feng, however, watched very attentively. Learning is an attitude, and true masters often have the heart of a student.
The black bear next to him watched with great interest for a while, then turned his head and saw Zhang Qiling, who remained expressionless.
"Hey Lao Zhang, all these years you haven't found a woman. Now that you've seen these advanced positions, do you have any special thoughts?"
Zhang Qiling remained silent, simply staring intently at the mural.
Although Zhang Qiling ignored him, Hei Xiazi refused to give up and immediately invited Zhang Qiling to join him for a foot massage.
Helpless, Zhang Qiling raised his hand and pulled the hood up over his head, hiding his face in shadow.
He refused Hei Xiazi's invitation to team up with his actions.
"Boss, watch out for your eyeballs, they're practically embedded in the wall!"
Having failed to find enjoyment in Zhang Qiling, Hei Xiazi turned his attention to Cheng Feng.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Feng, who had been studying, suddenly disappeared from the spot.
A black foot sliced through the air and landed heavily on Black Bear's buttocks.
"Fuck!"
With a startled cry, Hei Xiazi flew into the air, and when he landed, he was face to face with the bewildered disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
It turned out that Cheng Feng's kick had actually kicked him out of the three-meter-deep secret room.
"Captain, what's going on?"
Seeing Hei Xiazi suddenly appear and clutching his buttocks, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect asked in confusion.
Black Bear chuckled dryly, then pretended to pat his pants.
"It's okay, the space downstairs is too small, I just came up for some fresh air."
Then Hei Xiazi took out a pack of cigarettes he got from Cheng Feng and gave one to each of the brothers present.
With him as the team leader, everyone began smoking and waiting for Cheng Feng and the others.
Inside the tomb, Cheng Feng skillfully kicked the talkative Black Bear out of the pit, then turned his gaze back to the masterpiece on the wall.
However, Cheng Feng's expression quickly became much more serious.
If the initial murals were erotic, what followed were rather horrifying.
It still involves sexual intercourse between men and women, but the depiction of the female characters begins to resemble the underworld.
For example, the stark white bones on half of a face, twisted and folded, the skin bluish, the hands and feet twisted together.
Even after being disemboweled, they're still doing *that*...
"I know who this monk is now."
With a grim expression, Chen Wenjin spoke in a deep voice.
“Besides that beast Yang Lianzhenjia, who else could arrange their tomb directly beneath the emperor’s coffin?”
Cheng Feng withdrew his gaze. He couldn't bear to look at the mural anymore; the more he looked, the angrier he became—the kind of rage that made him want to kill someone.
"Master, that monk just seemed to move!"
