Ye Guangrong had a good sense of direction and soon flew to the well.
Looking down from the mouth of the well, it was dark and nothing could be seen, but ye Rongrong knew that there was water in the well.
If there had been no water in the well, the bottom of the well would have been discovered.
"Tudun"
Ye Rongrong entered the underground directly and soon entered the well.
Ye Rongrong has "water property", even in this water, there will be no suffocation due to lack of oxygen.
Come to this well, ye Rongrong did not first move those babies, but looked at those who have only a few bones.
In this well, the erosion of more than a hundred years left only the bones of these maids.
"All poor people."
Seeing these bones, ye Guangrong sighed in his heart.
In feudal times, these maids in the imperial palace were very cold. In a narrow sense, they were maids or slaves of the monarch and his family. In a broad sense, all women in the Imperial Palace, including concubines, were considered maids.
In the early days, most of the maids came from female slaves, female prisoners and the wives of criminals.
Since then, some of the palace maids in the past dynasties have been selected from the folk "beauty pageants" and "picking maids".
"Beauty contest" is just like the imperial examination, which has a set of strict rules.
The women who run for the election must be good families, that is, non doctors, non witches, non merchants and hundred workers. The women of these families are called good families.
It has been stipulated in all dynasties that palace maids should be taken from good families.
In the early days, the palace maids became the concubines and palace maids who defeated the emperor through the female prisoners of the defeated side.
After the Han Dynasty, the imperial court sent a large number of people to choose beautiful women from the local people. They were over 13 and under 20 years old.
Once a beautiful woman is chosen as a palace maid, she can no longer be reunited with her family, locked in the palace and isolated from the outside world.
Among them, only a few who were favored by the emperor could be promoted to concubines, and most of the maids lived in loneliness and desolation.
There was a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "once you enter the deep palace, you don't see spring every year. Talk about a leaf and send it to a lover. "
From the first day they were elected to the palace, they were in prison and lost their personal freedom. They were not allowed to marry until they were 25 or even 30 years old.
In ancient times, 25-year-old women who had not been married were very difficult to get married.
In order to prevent the palace maids from revolting, there were severe penalties in the palace.
The palace maids could be killed anytime and anywhere. Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, died suddenly. Because she suspected that the palace maids were poisoned in tea, she killed hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs at one time.
It can be said that in the feudal era, palace maids were a group of very cold existence.
It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that the system of maids and eunuchs was abolished.
"Now that I have met you, I'll help you settle down."
Ye Rongrong looked at the bones and said.
Thinking of this, ye Guangrong put all these bones into his own heaven and earth ring.
After finishing this, ye Rongrong focused his attention on those babies covered with dust.
There are not many things, and some of them are scattered.
Some of them are not treasures, but silver spindles. Some of them are valuable things, such as agate, pearls and so on. As to how these things came into these wells, ye Rongrong suspects that some of them should have been stolen by these maids.
After all, in this deep palace compound, some maids can't stand this kind of pain, and some choose to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the well.
Ancient people like to have funerary objects when they die. The more valuable the funerary objects are, the better. In ancient people's opinion, these funerary objects can be used in the underworld.
It is very likely that these maids will steal some of their master's treasures and commit suicide by jumping into the well.
Of course, it is possible that these things were given to them by the masters in the palace.
These are just some guesses of Ye Rongrong.
"That's..."
Ye Guangrong turns his eyes on the thing that gives him strength.
"Green cabbage?"
Ye Rongrong is a cabbage made of pure white jade. The shape of the cabbage made of jade is very lifelike and fresh.
The leaves are pure and white, and the scattered leaves are playful and elegant here. Each leaf is smooth, dense and radiant, and it is wrapped layer by layer, just like a package of wealth. The posture swaying with the wind is as charming as a fairy flower.
This is absolutely from the hands of the Royal craftsman of the best green cabbage, is absolutely a national treasure.
"Really beautiful?"
Ye Rongrong was surprised to take this "Emerald cabbage" to his hand.
It has to be said that the craftsmanship of those Royal craftsmen in ancient times was really superb. Ye Rongrong believes that today's craftsmen may not be able to make such a lifelike "Emerald cabbage" by using high-tech means."It's so similar. It's just like real cabbage, and it's the best of cabbages."
Ye Rongrong scrubbed the dust on the "Emerald cabbage", which made the "Emerald cabbage" more realistic.
Although Ye Guangrong has "water property", it is like a fish in the water, but no matter what, this feeling is not very comfortable for ye Guangrong.
Put this "Emerald cabbage" into the heaven and earth ring, ye Guangrong looked at the bottom of the well, there was nothing valuable, ye Guangrong left the bottom of the well directly.
Back on the ground of the Forbidden City, ye Guangrong looks over the dark Forbidden City. Suddenly, several light spots attract Ye Guangrong's attention.
Ye Rongrong directly uses the "wind attribute" to fly to the place where these light spots are condensed, and he is interested in watching these light spots condense over the Forbidden City.
At the beginning, just like small energy points, we can't see what they are. As time goes on, these light points gradually condense into the human body. It took more than two hours from the appearance of hair to the formation of the whole body to solidification.
Ye Rongyao as like as two peas in the air, the formation of the maid in the air. When the maid is solidified and formed, Ye Rongyao can see clearly that the maid of the palace is almost the same as the woman who has met her.
After their bodies were solidified, they fell on the ground of the Forbidden City and began to walk slowly along the road inside the Forbidden City.
Ye Guangrong thought about it in the air and landed beside the maids. He followed them. After walking for more than ten minutes, ye Guangrong came to the place where he had just met the maids.
It's obvious that the maids are still moving along the original route. The only difference is that the last place where the maids disappear is different. It seems that they all disappear before ye Guangrong sees the maids disappear for the first time.
It is obvious that the energy body has not reached its original position, and its energy has been exhausted.
The speed of energy consumption this time is much faster than when ye Rongrong met these maids for the first time. Especially when he got behind, ye Rongrong obviously felt that the speed of energy consumption was accelerating.
Ye Rongrong looked up at the sky. Although it is still dark now, it is not dark any more, but can see something clearly.
The light of dawn has begun to cover the Forbidden City, and the dark cloud has dissipated.
This is the rising of Yang Qi, which accelerates the dissipation of Yin Qi. At the same time, it also aggravates the speed of energy dissipation of these maids who are composed of "energy body". This is why they have dissipated before they reached the position just now.
Ye Rongrong looked at the sky and the time on his watch. It was almost five o'clock in the morning.
After thinking about it, ye Guangrong flew to the West.
There is a big mountain in the west of the capital called "Dingdu peak". You can have a panoramic view of the whole capital from this mountain.
Dingdu peak is surrounded by mountains, steep mountains, rugged rocks and steep peaks. It is known as "not to Dingdu peak, but to the capital" and "the first scenic peak in the west of Beijing".
It is said that Yao Guangxiao once reached the top of Dingdu peak and was able to survey the terrain to rebuild the capital. Since then, the mountain has been called Dingdu peak.
Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once sighed after climbing the mountain and said, "there's no better way to see this peak. It's a gift from heaven."
This Dingdu peak is absolutely a place with excellent geomantic omen.
Ye Guangrong falls in a place with few traces on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the direction, ye Rongrong uses "soil property" to make five big pits on the ground toward the capital.
After finishing these, ye Guangrong put the bones of the maids in the heaven and earth ring into these earth pits one by one, and then buried them with earth.
"Nothing else can help you. What we can do is to make your bones safe."
After burying these bones, ye Rongrong looks at these mounds and says.
In the traditional Chinese philosophy, only when this person is buried in the earth can the dead rest and the living feel at ease.
Ye Guangrong did not set up any inscriptions on these mounds.
After all, these palace maids are anonymous to Ye Guangrong. They don't know how to erect a monument for them. Secondly, there is no need to erect a monument.
The reason why a man died and set up a monument for him is actually to make a mark. Future generations know the existence of their ancestors and where they are buried. They can sweep their ancestors' tombs during the Qingming Festival.
And these maids obviously have no offspring, and now they can't find any relatives, and there's no need to set up any inscriptions.
In fact, no matter the status before death is prominent or humble, the result after death is the same, turning into dust.
Look at the watch, it's more than six in the morning, and ye Rongrong flies to his courtyard.
"Husband, when did you get up?"Looking at Ye Guangrong coming in from the outside, Liu Qingqing asks suspiciously.
After all, I usually get up first. My husband gets up after the sun is up. When I get up, the bedside is empty. My husband is not around me, which makes Liu Qingqing not used to it.
