Chapter 43: The Underground Palace (3)

Hualing was named after the royal family of the previous dynasty.

This huge imperial mausoleum was established in the middle of the previous dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years! Later, due to the decline of national strength and the new emperor's different ideas, this old emperor's mausoleum was gradually deserted, and the later kings also rebuilt their new mausoleums elsewhere, which also led to the fact that the General Ridge was gradually forgotten by later generations and became a barren mountain and wild ridge that no one cared about.

Rukawa Kaede's heart seemed to be flipping through the history books he had read before, recalling this little-known history, after all, with the change of dynasties and the changes of the years, almost everything will gradually be depressed, not to mention a palace buried deep in the ground?

But the question is, why is there a direct passage under the Gutuo Temple? At that time, it seems that there was no Gutuo Temple, right? That is to say, this was dug up after the completion of the Gutuo Temple, as for whether it was dug by the craftsmen at the time of construction or secretly dug by someone after it was built.

The age is too long, the Gutuo Temple has a history of more than 300 years, and the historical materials about its completion are almost impossible to find.

No matter who dug it, their purpose must be to go to the imperial tomb more conveniently and secretly, but what are they doing such a big move for? Is there any secret to this imperial tomb?

One question after another appeared in Liuchuan Feng's mind, making him puzzled, fortunately he is not a dead brain, since he can't figure it out for the time being, then he doesn't want to, anyway, he is already in this imperial tomb, as long as he looks for it carefully, maybe there is any surprise?

"My lord, I found a Dan furnace and a dried corpse in a secret room."

"Don't move the scene! Let's go over and see. ”

This is a three-zhang square secret room, there is a one-person high bronze Dan furnace in the center, and there are some charcoal burned black below, there is a black corpse dressed as a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged next to the Dan furnace, he still has a pitch-black pill in his mouth, and he holds a bottle in his hand, which contains seven or eight identical black pills.

"All passive, pay attention to cover your mouth and nose, I'm afraid this is a poison pill!" Rukawa Kaede shouted solemnly.

However, there was still a brocade guard who accidentally touched the dried corpse.

All of a sudden, the situation became very strange and dangerous.

Everyone was quiet, and they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and even Rukawa Kaede, who had always been bold and fearless, was frightened.

"Ah, ah, it hurts, save me! I don't want to die! ”

I saw that the guy who accidentally touched the dried corpse just now, starting from the palm of his hand, gradually began to turn black and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the night spread very quickly, and between three or five breaths, the vigorous Jinyi guard turned into a black dried corpse from head to toe! There is no trace of flesh and blood, and it is quite similar to the old Taoist priest, but it is not so dark.

"This, this...... What the hell is this! Someone was scared and said in horror.

"I've never seen such a weird poison! Could this be the legendary zombie? Someone said.

"Get out of here first, seal the gate here!"

Although Rukawa Kaede lost his mind for a short time, he quickly regained his composure and immediately made the best judgment, and these brocade guards were worthy of being the elite of the elite, seeing that their adults were so calm, they quickly stabilized their minds, withdrew from the secret room, and closed the door here again.

The heavy stone door landed on the hard ground with a loud "boom" and brought up a puff of dust, which also made everyone put their beating hearts in their chests again.

"It's corpse poison! A horrible corpse poison! If my guess is right, that dried corpse intended to refine this poison before his death, but he didn't expect that he himself was also poisoned, maybe it was his own mistake, or maybe someone forcibly used the pill he refined to refine the pill again to refine the corpse poison! After hundreds of years, his body has long been a toxin that is a hundred times more powerful than any poison in the world, so that unfortunate guy is gone. It's not a zombie, and there's no such thing in this world, it's just a rumor. ”

Rukawa Kaede slowly analyzed, he said that the biggest purpose of these is to stabilize their minds.

"Yes, I just didn't expect that someone would refine such a vicious pill hundreds of years ago, what did they want to do?"

"I must be trying to hurt people, but it's really vicious, who is it?"

"If you don't look at where this is, I guess even if it's not the Hua family, it's inseparable from them!"

"They were destroyed for a reason, and it's not a pity to die!"

……

Everyone whispered, but also to be very relaxed, after all, the scene just now was unbelievable, their companion turned into a black bone in a few breaths, it was really like magic, which made them scared, although they were strong in martial arts and trained hard, but after all, they were still human, and they would naturally be afraid and afraid.

They followed Ruchuan Feng all the way and continued to walk straight, not wandering around in any secret rooms or other places, and went straight to the east, the scene gradually changed, the walls were all smooth and clean, and there were occasionally some gold and silver items on the ground, and there were more extravagant and valuable things, and the decoration and interior of the palace were very luxurious, except for some gloomy ones that were almost not much different from the Guangming Hall outside!

They knew that this place was already approaching the core of the tomb, so they all cheered up and were fully vigilant.

"Everyone be careful, I'm afraid this place is already close to the core tomb, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of organs, don't move around!" Rukawa Kaede reminded solemnly.

In the past, it was to the main burial chamber.

In the center of the main burial chamber is a prosperous coffin made of bronze, there is a high platform behind the coffin, this is a high platform with earth and stone piled up into a trapezoidal shape, I don't know what it is for, the tomb is a square shape, there is a kerosene lamp in the four corners, but the oil in it has long been exhausted, and the walls are depicted with the pattern of roses, which is very beautiful.

"My lord, do you want to open this coffin?"

"Open." Rukawa Kaede said decisively.

The coffin was pried open by their brute force, making a cacophony of gold and iron.

Everyone held their breath and was cautious, for fear that there would be some deadly things such as hidden weapons and poisons in the coffin, so they all stood far away, pulling the heavy coffin lid with a rope until it was completely opened, and there was no vision.

After waiting for a while, Rukawa Kaede wondered, why didn't there smell at all? Isn't this corpse stinking? He walked over slowly, wanting to see what was going on, and of course the loyal brocade guard had already poked his head to see what was going on inside.

"Your Excellency!"

The man said in shock.

"What's wrong?"

Rukawa Kaede glanced over and was also shocked.

This coffin is not a corpse, but a pile of gold, silver and jewelry! They emit a faint glow, and in the firelight, they are very dazzling.

He saw that the value of the jewels here was probably more than a million taels of silver! The premise is that it is really not a fake, but now he doesn't think about it, he thinks it must be true! That's more than the empire's total income in a year now!

"Go find the container and put it all together! Transported back to the imperial court and handed over to the treasury in full! Rukawa Kaede said happily, with this large amount of money, the empire's problems will be much easier.

However, just as they went to get the jewels, the situation changed drastically.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was an explosion one after another, and the coffin was the center of the explosion, and everyone nearby who was about to go to collect the treasure was killed......

The explosion continued, and even worse happened, the high platform also collapsed in an instant, and a large amount of transparent liquid suddenly emerged, and the panicked Jinyi Wei didn't care, thinking that this was ordinary water, but this carelessness caused them to suffer serious injuries again!

This is not over, it was a kerosene lamp that suddenly sprayed scorching flames into the tomb like a fire-breathing beast, and burned some of the nearby brocade guards to the world!

The roses on the wall suddenly turned into murder weapons, and poisoned arrows were fired from the heart of the flower, and if they hit, they would immediately turn into black bones! Fortunately, there were only dozens of such poisoned arrows in one round, and most of them were evaded and blocked.

……

Needless to say, Rukawa Kaede was saved by his loyal subordinates, and he ordered a retreat, however, the situation suddenly became dangerous again.

A black-clothed and masked bald head suddenly flew from the darkness towards Rukawa Kaede.

And at this time, the guards around him were all scattered by this series of encounters, and many of them had even died heroically! At this time, there was no one around him to protect him, and he couldn't raise the slightest bit of true qi at this time, seeing that this bald head was about to fly, the big knife in his hand shone brightly in the firelight, which was very dangerous.

At the last moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Rukawa Feng, blocking this fatal knife for him!

"Hulai!"

"Hulai!"

Murong Feng and Liuchuan Feng shouted at the same time.

Hu Lai didn't move, he still slashed his sword immediately, and one person stopped the bald man and more than 20 warriors of the Northern Regions, although the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his chest was bleeding, but his hand holding the knife was still so strong and powerful, and his gaze was still so sharp and firm.

"Give it to me, kill them!" Murong Feng ordered coldly from behind.

"Haha, you want to kill me? It's not that easy! ”

The bald man smiled evilly, and the warriors from the front fought, he thought they were in a group, and these warriors from the Northern Regions did not see the previous scene clearly, it happened too fast, and the situation was too chaotic, they only saw the flash of the knife, Hu Lai was injured, and this bald man was the murderer, they thought that the bald head was Liuchuan Feng's gang, and they heard the order of their son, so they misunderstood.

At this time, the remaining brocade guards also reflected one after another, and quickly reported that Liuchuan Feng was protected in the center, and formed a confrontation between the two of them, without interfering in their battle.

"Stop, come back to me!"

Murong Feng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, watching his own people fighting with the bald head, and a few of them had already fallen to his down, his heart ached, of course he saw that scene clearly, and knew that this bald masked man also went to assassinate Liuchuan Feng, but was blocked by Hu Lai, who moved faster, with his life! But they didn't see it clearly, but missed the best opportunity, but fought with the bald head, and suffered a big loss, at this time, Rukawa Kaede had been defended by the Jinyi guard, and there was no possibility of assassination, so in order to reduce his own casualties, he had to order them to withdraw.

The bald head is naturally No. 1, of course, those fake jewelry were also deliberately put in by him, and those mechanisms were also arranged by him early, he followed Liuchuan Feng all the way, and finally waited for this good opportunity, so he didn't hesitate to shoot, but unfortunately this kid's life was too hard, so he didn't kill him, which made him quite unhappy and unwilling, but seeing the Jinyi Guard who had readjusted his state and formation, he knew that there was no chance to assassinate him again, so he also stopped and was thinking about the next countermeasures.

Hu came to see Liuchuan Feng and didn't speak, and followed the Northern Regions warriors back to Murong Feng step by step, he knew that he had disobeyed his orders, and what was waiting for him would be death, but he still went back.

Rukawa Kaede originally wanted to stop him, but after seeing his resolute eyes, he gave up this plan, he knew that he was also a determined person, once he made a choice, he would not change, even if he forcibly left him, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep him.

If Murong Feng dared to kill him, then it would not be too late for him to order Jinyiwei to save people.

At this time, the door of the main hall was suddenly lowered and locked from the outside, and they all knew that this door weighed more than 10,000 catties! Indestructible, brute force is impossible to push open, only to unlock the lock from the outside and open it again.
