Chapter 152: Gone
It's still the same back mountain just now, but it's a different world.
A row of towering walls enclosed the entire imperial tomb, leaving only one entrance and exit. The perimeter of the fence was patrolled by soldiers on patrol, heavily guarded by soldiers, not even a single fly could enter.
The Nine Princesses and the Third Prince took the token given to them by the Kamikaze Emperor, and went through many checkpoints along the way, and finally came to the entrance of the Imperial Tomb.
After the two walked in front of the soldiers guarding the imperial tomb and took out the token in their hands, they turned back to Ye Xuan and nodded, that is, he could come in.
Ye Xuan walked over briskly with joy, but just as he was about to enter the Imperial Mausoleum, the corner of his eye swept to the two guards guarding the Imperial Mausoleum. His brows furrowed slightly.
He sensed that there was something strange about them, but he couldn't tell.
The two of them were wearing cold and hard armor, and only a pair of eyes came out. Ye Xuan looked at the eyes that were exposed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
I don't know why he always felt that something was wrong with the eyes of these two people, as if they were too empty, and they seemed to be stained with a subtle gray color.
Just when Ye Xuan wanted to take a step forward to check, the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince saw that Ye Xuan was suddenly standing still, so they shouted and asked him to come over quickly.
"Brother Ye Xuan, come in quickly. ”
The third prince not far away beckoned to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan had to press the doubts in his heart, and then took three steps and two steps, and walked quickly towards the two.
As he walked more and more into the imperial tomb, Ye Xuan's heart became more excited, because the second fragment was here.
"Brother Xuan, I have news to tell you in advance. Just when Ye Xuan was excited, Xiao Tian in his body suddenly said a word to him coldly.
Ye Xuan's fast pace couldn't help but slow down, because he heard the strangeness in Xiao Tian's tone, Xiao Tian was not surprised, but became a little worried.
"What's the news, Xiao Tian. Ye Xuan was also confused, suppressed the fiery excitement in his heart, and said solemnly to Xiaotian.
Because he felt that things might not be simple, otherwise Xiao Tian would not have been able to tell him at this time, and Xiao Tian's face was not only not excited and joyful, but full of sorrow and anxiety.
"Originally, I wanted to tell you earlier, but at that time you were in a fierce battle with people, and I was afraid that after telling you, you would be distracted, and there would be danger, so I put this matter aside for the time being. ”
"And I was still a little unsure at first, but just as those people from the Tianxin Dynasty left the main hall, I suddenly felt a familiar aura clearly. ”
"That's the breath of the second shard, and I definitely don't feel wrong, so I'm only telling you the news now. ”
Listening quietly to what Xiao Tian said, Ye Xuan's face was cloudy, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes.
"Then why can I still feel the breath of the second fragment in this imperial tomb?" Ye Xuan also asked hurriedly.
Because he had signed a contract with the Sky Swallowing Sword, he could also vaguely feel some familiar aura and that special fluctuation.
"Now all that is left here is the residual breath, and as for the second fragment, it is estimated that it has been taken away. "Xiao Tian, as the sword spirit of the Sky Devouring Sword, is naturally more sensitive than the fluctuations of the fragments that Ye Xuan sensed.
"Brother Xiao Xuan, hurry, it's right in front, the residual breath is in front, let's hurry up and see what happened?" Suddenly, Xiao Tian's voice became urgent, urging Ye Xuan to hurry forward.
In fact, as the distance approached, Ye Xuan was already able to perceive it. His face immediately flashed with anxiety, and he hurriedly raised his steps and ran ahead.
"Ah, how did this happen!"
"Why is it that the dirt has been turned over and is so new. Did someone come in and steal from the Imperial Tomb?"
Suddenly, there were low voices of surprise from the Ninth Princess and the Third Prince, Ye Xuan's expression moved, and he hurried over.
As soon as the front foot arrived, Ye Xuan's gaze looked forward, and suddenly his face changed. What appeared in his sight was a hole where the coffin had been buried, the surrounding dirt had been turned over, and the body inside the coffin was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, after the induction just now, the breath and special fluctuations of the second fragment came from the coffin that was overturned.
Ye Xuan, who had a very bad complexion, slowly walked to the front of the coffin, and carefully observed the surrounding traces, but did not find any traces that could be traced.
"Do you have such a grave here without a tombstone?" Ye Xuan asked.
Because he found that the excavated grave had no headstone, and that the coffin was buried next to another grave. If it hadn't been excavated, no one would have known that two people were buried here at the same time.
The Ninth Princess and the Third Prince both shook their heads in unison, the people they buried here were all ancestors who had contributed to the Kamikaze Dynasty during their lifetimes, and it was certain that a tombstone would be established to praise them, and everyone who was buried would set up a tombstone.
This is not only to record and celebrate the deeds of others, but also to show respect for them.
"The pattern inscribed on this coffin is not for our kamikaze burial, and it is all rotten. The Ninth Princess suddenly stared at the coffin and said a word.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Ye Xuan's face on the side suddenly changed, and the expression on his face changed sharply, and he finally froze at a certain moment.
He looked at the coffin, the expression on his face was extremely wonderful, and he muttered, "Could this be the real burial place of the great thief Weasel?"
After figuring out all the ins and outs, the puzzled look on Ye Xuan's face was also relieved in an instant.
This Baili Weasel had gone to the Tianxin Dynasty to steal important things before his death, resulting in being hunted down and killed. He knew that those people would not let him go so easily, so when he was about to die, he buried himself in the imperial tomb of the Kamikaze Dynasty.
No one could have imagined that the great thief Baili Weasel would bury himself in the imperial tomb. Although I don't know what method he used to enter the imperial tomb, this also explains why the true body of Baili Weasel was not found in the ancient tomb that Ye Xuan and the others entered before.
It turned out that he buried himself here, so that he would leave a whole body when he died.
But the people who didn't go to the Tianxin Dynasty still found him, and took the opportunity of the competition between the younger generations of the two dynasties to lure the Kamikaze Emperor away, and then they sent people into the imperial tomb to dig up the body of the hundred-mile weasel, and escaped from the royal city.
No wonder the princes and they wanted to leave the dynasty so urgently, because they were afraid that they would leave after the deeds were revealed.
"Damn, I finally found the place where the fragments were hiding, but I was given a head start. Ye Xuan scolded with an ugly face, what was about to arrive, but in the blink of an eye, the cooked duck flew away.
"Can Xiao Tian sense the location of the fragments at this moment?" After calming down, Ye Xuan also hurriedly asked Xiao Tian.
"That breath has already left the dynasty and is rushing in one direction. Xiao Tian stretched out his round fingers and pointed in one direction.
Ye Xuan's face suddenly became ugly, that was the direction in which the prince left just now.
"Brother, I just used my father's token to investigate, except for this one who doesn't know who the coffin was turned out, there is no trace of theft in the imperial tomb, and the prohibitions arranged on it are intact. ”
The ninth princess poured the soul power into the token and after carefully probing, she said to the third prince with a happy face.
The third prince, who originally looked flustered, also relaxed, after all, this is an important place for the royal family, and any mistakes are extremely serious.
But Ye Xuanke didn't have such a good mood, he looked at the coffin that was lying on the side indiscriminately, with a listless look on his face.
But after a slight sigh, there was a determined light in his eyes. He thought to himself: Forget it, now that you know the clues, there is no need to rush, now...
Let's get the good stuff in my head.
