My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 391 Sima Family

So, after the decline of the Han Empire, was there any dynasty that, although nominally unified, never really established a unified central government to subdue various local forces from the beginning to its demise?

"Probably these are the items used by the vassal kings in various places to build their mansions when the Jin court was still in Luoyang."

Xu Youbang's tone finally became determined.

In this way, the scope has been reduced to an extremely small size. After all, it only took twenty years from the Sima family to unify the world, to Yiguan's southern crossing, to truly control Liaodong, and to establish the King of Hejian.

"Is there anything else-"

Zhu Houcong asked, but Xu Youbang beside him shook his head.

It means that it is already the limit to deduce the general background and time from this little thing.

He nodded and looked at the cave in front of him that had been dug in the Wei and Jin Dynasties for hundreds of years.

"Just keep going-"

Zhu Houcong said.

Entering the cave, what you see and feel is not as narrow and cramped as you originally expected.

On the contrary, the space inside is wide and the cave walls are repaired extremely neatly.

If it weren't for the heavy bones on the ground that foreshadowed something ominous.

Light the oil lamps on the surrounding stone walls and look at the heavy but delicate bronze door in front of you.

I am afraid that no one will think that this place is a mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, where the hidden secrets of the Han Dynasty that were too late to be taken away before the Han court hurriedly evacuated are buried.

"It's the Bodhisattva Lock——"

Yu Dayou took out his halberd from the front and slammed it several times on the bronze door in front of him.

But the huge bronze lock on the door in front of me only had a few scratches the size of fingernails.

Zhang Fawei came to the Guanyin Lock, took out two silver hairpins from his arms, and tried to open them with his skills.

After all, I am a Taoist priest, so it is normal for me to travel around with some jewelry and so on——

But after working on it for a while, I listened to the sound of gears turning from the giant lock receiver in front of me.

The silver hairpin in his hand also broke as the incantation in Zhang Fawei's mouth stopped.

Zhang Fawei's face turned ugly.

He looked at the statue of Bodhisattva holding a child on the giant lock in front of him, and then looked back at Zhu Houcong.

Said.

"It's the Collarbone Bodhisattva - if you split it open with brute force, something unexpected might happen."

Zhu Houcong did not answer and came to the bronze lock built in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

He rubbed it with his hands, and sure enough, a cold breath came from it, and Sanskrit sounds floated in his ears.

The so-called Collarbone Bodhisattva is said to come from Buddhist legends in Yanzhou and other places in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that there was a woman in a local brothel who was very beautiful and loved by the young men of local dignitaries.

Later, he died without illness. Monk Hu came to burn incense and pray in front of his tomb. "When he saw the tomb, he sat down on his knees, saluted and burned incense."

The people around him were confused, so they asked Monk Hu, "This is a woman who indulges her husband. She has no family, so she is here. How can a monk respect evil?"

The monk said that although she looked like a prostitute on the surface, she was actually a Bodhisattva who descended to earth to save all sentient beings and help people cut off their worldly desires. He was an out-and-out Clavicle Bodhisattva!

"This is the Great Sage. He is compassionate and happy to give up. He does not indulge in worldly desires. This is the Collar Bone Bodhisattva."

Zhu Houcong: Quickly say thank you to the female Bodhisattva!

People then dug up the grave and saw "bones all over the body, the hooks were like locks, and the fruits were like what the monk said"

So they all took the initiative to donate money. "People from the state decided to set up a big fast and build a pagoda."

No matter whether she is a real Bodhisattva or not.

Or is it just that Buddhism has used some means to spread its own beliefs and created some artificial phenomena.

This matter is no longer verifiable.

But the huge bronze lock in front of me obviously contains something closely related to Buddhism, which is used as a back-up to prevent it from being forcibly broken open by external force.

Buddha bone relics, or something else——

Zhu Houcong's hands seemed to pull gently. The huge lock in front of them that the imperial army could not open no matter how they struck it with their swords or halberds was broken with a crisp "click".

Zhang Fawei felt keenly that something in the bronze lock flashed with golden light at that moment.

But in an instant, he was easily captured by the Emperor, without even the slightest reaction.

How terrifying are the humans and gods on earth——

Is this the strength of those founding kings who single-handedly ended troubled times, defeated demons and demons from all directions, and created a brilliant empire?

This is by no means the strength that a monarch in the middle and late stages of a dynasty should have.

But considering that this is not the case in history.

In the past, at the turn of the Han Dynasty, Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty.

Later, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Li family took over Yang Sui's world.

In fact, history is not fixed but is constantly changing.

Zhang Fawei's thoughts were mixed in his mind when he faced the Emperor Mingting, who was like a man and god on earth who stepped out of myths and legends.

Until the ancient bronze door in front of him was slowly pushed open by two forbidden soldiers with a roar.

He just came back to his senses.

After opening his mouth, he still didn't have the nerve to ask Zhu Houcong for the extremely precious lock that was most likely made from the remains of eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty and the top skills of the Unified Dynasty.

But Zhu Houcong seemed to see his desire.

Turning his head, he handed the object into his hand.

Said casually.

"Take this and study it carefully. If you imitate it in the future, it will also add a little more depth to the imperial court and the Longhu Mountain orthodoxy."

Zhang Fawei took it awkwardly.

He scratched his head and stuffed the broken chain into the backpack on his back.

Although this Bodhisattva lock is a Buddhist object, it not only contains the remains of eminent monks as a safeguard, but also has complicated craftsmanship. It must be carried out according to specific steps, otherwise it will never be opened.

However, Buddhism and Taoism have continued to develop in the Han Dynasty until now.

The differences are no longer as clear as they were when Buddhism was first introduced.

It is common for the two to learn from each other.

Zhang Fawei, who got his wish, happily continued to study the giant bronze door in front of him.

On the left is a tiger and on the right is a dragon.

On top of the tiger is a faceless monk, holding a rosary, and the whole body is solemn.

Half of the dragon's body on the right is hidden in the water, and only half of its head is exposed. It is unpredictable and majestic.

The picture was beautifully carved, but Zhang Fawei recognized from the signs of groundbreaking next to it that it was not something originally found in the tomb.

It was built temporarily by the later official "archaeological teams" of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in order to facilitate the guarding of various tomb passages.

Zhang Fawei looked at a line of small characters engraved on the bronze door in front of him.

"The Class B entrance to Wenchang Changdao, built in the second year of Xianning..."

After that, there is a string of blurred small characters, which is probably the name of the craftsman who built the bronze door and the reason for starting the work.

But unfortunately it is too old to be recognized.

Otherwise, if he could know who took the lead in exploring this Han Dynasty secret, Zhang Fawei would be able to make more preparations in his heart.

However, in the second year of Xianning.

Xu Youbang, who was next to him, obviously noticed the words on it at this time.

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Sima Yan——"
