Chapter 30: Entering the Imperial Tomb

Passing through the long Shinto, the stone steps also extend upwards one by one, and then you can see the statues of civil and military officials on both sides, in addition to the civil officials holding the jade gyu, there are also military attaches with chariots and horses, each of which is also five or six meters high, carved lifelikely

Fang Ling while walking, while judging the direction, and finally determined that this mausoleum is actually at the bottom of the North Mountain, this cave is probably not completely natural, some of it is probably formed after artificial hollowing out, which shows how much manpower and material resources were needed to build at that time, and Emperor Xiaowu was able to do it without knowing it, which shows how hidden it is, and at the same time, how cruel it is.

Because behind these stone statues, Fang Ling also suddenly found a white skeleton, which should be the labor of the year, and was killed here in order not to reveal the secret.

Walk up the last stone staircase, there is a nine-fold archway with five doors and six pillars in front of you, the momentum is magnificent, and you can see a long white jade bridge through the archway.

The White Jade Bridge passes through an unfathomable abyss, and at the forefront, there is a huge palace, where Emperor Xiaowu sleeps.

The entire palace is carved along the tall stone wall, made of huge stone strips, impermeable, and its entrance is the ten-meter-high carved dragon mausoleum door.

However, the whole palace is not complete, and in a corner on the north side there is still a part of it that has not been completed, leaving a hole so that people can clearly see the corridor inside.

Fang Ling guessed that it might be that the sudden death of Emperor Xiaowu made the imperial tomb not complete, but in this way, he could easily enter the imperial tomb.

Fang Ling had just crossed the bridge when he suddenly heard a low howl, and then a black bat flew from above.

Fang Ling subconsciously looked up, and couldn't help but feel his heart sink, because he suddenly saw a fierce beast the size of an adult tiger!

This fierce beast has a hideous face, its eyes are like copper bells, its pupils are golden and shiny, and there are two feet long black horns like blades on its forehead, and there are few "hair" hairs on its body, and the muscles seem to be carved out, each piece contains explosive power, starting from the neck, a red "color" line extends, which is very weird.

What's even more weird is that this thing has four claws like a hook, and it can be hooked deeply on the stone wall.

At this point, it bites a bunch of bats in its mouth, and the bats squeak and scream, and then swallow it into its stomach.

Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, what kind of beast was this, it was simply unheard of, not only hiding behind the imperial tomb at the bottom of the lake, but also being able to climb a hundred-foot-high stone wall like a gecko and eat bats for a living.

Just as he was thinking about it, the fierce beast had already jumped down and pounced towards Fang Ling.

Fang Ling was not good, he hurriedly jumped forward, and when he turned around again, the fierce beast had already landed steadily on the white jade bridge, blocking his path, and then roared, spitting out a red "colored" "liquid" body.

Fang Ling hurriedly dodged, only to see that the 'liquid' body fell on the stone door, and it actually corroded a big hole.

Fang Ling gasped again, but he couldn't think about it at all, because the fierce beast had already 'shot' at once.

Fang Ling was not a person who could be caught with his hands tied, seeing that although this guy was fierce, he looked a little clumsy, and he dodged its attack sideways, and when he passed by, he slammed a heavy fist into its body.

However, the punch that had made it so strong that it only made the beast not even have the intention of stopping, and it in turn bit towards Fang Ling.

Fang Ling hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time felt that he had to use the immortal technique, otherwise he would not be able to defeat this thing.

Fang Ling took a deep breath, and the sun fire energy quickly accumulated on his arm, although the fierce beast was strong, but after all, it was a beast, when it pounced, Fang Ling avoided it and then smashed it with a hard punch.

This punch smashed the fierce beast solidly, and roared angrily, and at the same time, one claw and one plan, immediately leaving two long blood marks on Fang Ling's arm.

Seeing that the fist was effective, Fang Ling was immediately overjoyed, one man and one beast were fighting in front of the stone gate, you punched me and I clawed, and the corrosive slime liquid in the mouthful kept spitting.

Fang Ling also gradually realized the wonderful use of using fire energy in the battle, and even intermittently urged the ice energy, the power of the fire energy was hot, and the power of the ice energy was cold, and the two forces could not be fused together, but this day and moon melting solution technique just allowed it to play at will.

The fierce beast is indeed powerful, the claws are sharp, the flat horns are sharp, and the thick stone door can't withstand its strokes, and a deep hole immediately appears, as if cut on tofu, and the slime "liquid" has a corrosive effect.

Fortunately, Fang Ling has never been lazy in practicing martial arts for more than ten years, his actions are as quick as electricity, and he seized the opportunity to smash the body of the fierce beast with one punch after another, and during the battle, he was inevitably scratched out of deep marks.

In the midst of the fierce battle, the fierce beast suddenly pounced and threw Fang Ling to the ground, Fang Ling didn't push it away with all his might, and simply bit it on its neck in a hurry.

Suddenly, the hot beast blood poured into Fang Ling's mouth, and the fierce beast shook the ground in pain, but Fang Ling was lying on his stomach, and he couldn't plane it, and he drank the beast blood in a big gulp.

Eventually, the beast collapsed to the ground due to blood loss, and soon lost its breath.

Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief at this time, only to feel that after the beast blood entered his body, it was extremely hot, and it was actually entangled with the sun fire, his stomach was like a fire, but he felt that the fire energy was constantly absorbing the beast blood, and he didn't know how long it took, the beast blood disappeared, and there was a scarlet "color" in the "color" of the sun fire.

Fang Ling got up, saw the flat horns of the fierce beast, and felt that it was a pity to throw it here, this thing is probably harder than an ordinary knife, and such a thick stone door is cut like tofu, if it can be used as a weapon, wouldn't it be good?

He picked it up and dug out the two-foot-long flat horn, just as the part of the head could be used as the handle of the knife, and it was held in his hand like a scimitar, and there were mottled lines on the horns, which looked quite tasteful.

Fang Ling took a deep breath, took the flat-horned knife and drilled into the underground palace mausoleum from the small hole on the side of the stone gate, as soon as he entered the corridor, he saw that it was full of white bones, he sighed secretly, cleaned the bones to both sides, and then walked forward.

After passing through the long corridor, you can see the mausoleum chamber and the ear chambers on both sides, there are huge deep pits dug in the ear chambers on both sides, one is the palace maid who accompanies the burial, there are a lot of slaughtered horses, and the other ear chamber is placed with clay pots and furniture and other daily necessities.

When he opened the door of the main room, Fang Ling couldn't help but gasp, and there was suddenly a piece of golden light inside, pearls, agate, gold and jade, piled up like a mountain, and surrounded the main room in a ring.

In the main room, there are nine coffins, the one in the center is carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, with a thick golden coffin, it can be seen that the inside is probably the bones of Emperor Xiaowu, and the surrounding eight bodies should be the imperial concubines who accompany the burial.

Fang Ling walked around inside, stumbled upon an underground entrance, opened it and took a look, it turned out that there was actually a hidden space of the same size on this floor under the main room, and it was stuffed with all kinds of jewels, the number of which was ten times more than that in the main room.

Fang Ling picked up a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg and looked at it again, he couldn't suppress the pleasure in his heart anymore, and laughed wildly, it was really God's eyes, and he actually let himself find the imperial tomb of the late monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, and they all said that Emperor Xiaowu was greedy for money, but he didn't expect to get cheaper in the end, and now he is really rich and rivals the country, with these treasures, no matter which barren fiefdom he is sent to, he can develop.

Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw a bronze "medicine" tripod lying among the jewels.

I don't know what age this "medicine" tripod is, but it looks very simple, thirty or forty centimeters high, four legs and two ears, the whole body is depicted with strange lines, and there is a secluded eye engraved on the lid of the tripod.

Fang Ling didn't think about why this 'medicine' tripod was put together with many jewels, but he was really relieved, because no matter what age he was, he had been lying here for three hundred years, which fully met the requirements of alchemy.

Out of the Imperial Tomb, Fang Ling returned along the same path, relying on the power of the Qi Storage Realm, when he returned to the deep waterway, he found that there was a mechanism there, as long as he pulled it, he could make the iron plate open, but it didn't take much effort.

After coming out of the bottom of the lake, Fang Ling returned to the grove, under the sun, there were more than twenty wounds on his body, all of which were hooked out by the claws of the fierce beast, but fortunately, he dodged in time every time, and only hurt the flesh and skin.

Because it was inconvenient to enter the palace with the "medicine" tripod, so Fang Ling first went to the rented place, and after telling Chen Mou about the manufacture of honey pills a few days ago, Chen Mou had already started to work, rented a house in two places successively, and hired two batches of small workers to process half of the "medicine" materials respectively, and then transported them here for final processing, and no one knew what the specific "medicine" prescription was.

Fang Ling praised him for thinking cautiously and thoughtfully, and only then did he return to the palace at night, he did not go back to Binghua Palace directly, but found Dong Canghai first.

After telling Dong Canghai about the discovery of the mausoleum, Dong Canghai didn't come for a long time.

Fang Ling earnestly told him to start looking for a few henchmen, and wait until the right time to salvage those treasures, so that when he left the imperial city, he would take them to the fiefdom together.

Dong Canghai naturally agrees with this suggestion very much, and he has also collected a few henchmen in the palace over the years, and there is no problem with manpower.

The only thing to wait for now is the timing, and the prince's wedding is not a few days away.
