Chapter 146
Chinese Valentine's Day (Part II)
"Yingyue, you go home first."
Chu Rong said to Yingyue, and the meaning of driving people away was self-evident.
Yingyue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Song Li, as if she was asking for her meaning.
Song Li didn't understand why Chu Rong took Yingyue away, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Chu Rong curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Rong didn't explain anything, but without saying a word, he raised his hand and grabbed Song Li's hand, jumped over, and soon left the moat.
"Chu Shizi, where are you going to take my young lady?"
Looking at Chu Rong, who was walking away with Song Li, Yingyue stood by the river and jumped to her feet in a hurry.
Why are you in such a hurry, there are still so many lanterns that haven't been lit yet.
Seeing that no one responded to her for a long time, Yingyue had no choice but to sigh helplessly, lit all the remaining unlit lanterns and threw them into the river, and then raised her eyes to look around to make sure that Chu Rong had left with Song Li, and left dejectedly.
"Where are you taking me?"
Along the way, Song Li hugged Chu Rong's arm tightly, and when he saw Chu Rong taking her to the palace, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You'll find out in a moment."
The corners of Chu Rong's mouth raised, and he said lightly.
Song Li sighed, and seeing that Chu Rong was reluctant to speak, he had to keep his mouth shut.
Looking at the palace close at hand, Song Li frowned slightly, and he couldn't understand why Chu Rongda brought her to the palace at night.
Seeing Chu Rong easily evade the secret guards and guards in the palace, Song Li's brows furrowed slightly.
Chu Rong is very familiar with the routes in the palace, and he knows the distribution of palace guards well, and it seems that this is not the first time he has sneaked into the palace.
But what exactly did he want to do?
Chu Rong will take it to the front of the imperial study, at this time Emperor Tianxuan and the empress are holding a sacrificial ceremony outside the palace, and there is no one in the imperial study.
"Let's go."
Chu Rong glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he slowly pushed open the door of the imperial study and said softly to Song Li, and then went inside.
Song Li looked at Chu Rong's figure, hesitated a little and followed.
There was no light in the study, and it was dark, only the moonlight through the window brought a glimmer of light to the dark palace.
Chu Rong glanced at Song Li, slowly walked to the bookcase, looked at the wall of books, and seemed to think of something sad, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"What's wrong?"
Song Li noticed Chu Rong's abnormality, slowly stepped forward, and asked in a low voice.
Because of the dimness in the hall, Song Li couldn't see his face very clearly.
Chu Rong didn't speak, but raised his hand and groped on the wall of the book.
Song Li watched Chu Rong's movements, and his brows instantly furrowed.
"Click-"
A slight sound came, and Song Li's eyes suddenly widened, this imperial study actually has a secret room, and looking at Chu Rong's skillful appearance, he obviously knew it a long time ago.
But this is the palace, how could Chu Rong know that there is a secret room here?
As the sound sounded, the wall of books slowly unfolded to both sides, revealing a dense wall.
Song Li looked at the wall in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, is this a loneliness? How can there be a secret room!
Before Song Li could finish helplessly, he saw Chu Rong squatting down and raising his hand to press on a concave stone crack, a click sounded again, and the stone wall slowly opened.
Looking at the secret passage that was slowly revealed, Song Li's mouth suddenly opened enough to stuff an egg.
She looked at the scene in front of her in shock, and her mood was overwhelming, and she didn't know how to express the surprise and shock in her heart at this time.
"Let's go."
Chu Rong stood up and nodded at Song Li, and took the lead in the secret passage.
Song Li closed his mouth, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and quickly followed.
At the moment when she entered the secret passage, the stone wall behind her slowly fell again, blocking the secret passage.
"This is the secret passage where my parents escaped, and behind it is Qingyun Mountain."
Chu Rong slowly walked in the dark and boundless secret passage, his voice was a little low, as if he remembered something sad.
"What do you mean?"
Song Li didn't react a little.
She asked, and then thought that Chu Rong was not King Jing's biological son, and suddenly fell into silence.
She caught up with Chu Rong and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Didn't you always want to find the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum before? I'll take you today! ”
Chu Rong suddenly stopped and looked at Song Li with a serious expression.
Song Li was slightly stunned, when did she say that she wanted to see the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum, why didn't she remember?
Looking at Song Li's puzzled expression, Chu Rong suddenly smiled, "I remembered that you forgot, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I will satisfy you as long as you want to!" ”
Listening to Chu Rong's words, Song Li only felt a warm heart.
She had forgotten everything, but Chu Rong still remembered it, and it felt so good to be remembered.
She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Chu Rong raised her hand to her mouth and made a shushing gesture, and she had to swallow the words in her throat.
Chu Rong grabbed her hand and pulled her through the secret passage slowly.
Chu Rong didn't speak, Song Li didn't know what to say, he followed behind Chu Rong without saying a word, he couldn't see his five fingers around, and the atmosphere was still a little quiet, which made people feel a little scared, as if he didn't know when a terrifying thing would pop out.
The secret passage was very long, and the two walked for a long time, and finally came to a spacious secret room.
There is nothing in the secret room, there are a lot of mice, fortunately, Song Li is not afraid of mice, and it is estimated that his legs would have been weak if he were someone else.
Chu Rong slowly let go of Song Li's hand, took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it on his head.
Looking at the silver thrown out by Chu Rong, the corners of Song Li's mouth twitched fiercely, this is too loser, the silver of the white flower is thrown away.
The silver struck the roof of the chamber with a dull sound.
Immediately afterward, there was a sliding sound overhead, and the roof of the chamber slowly opened to both sides, revealing an endless sky.
"Be careful."
Chu Rong reminded Song Li, raised his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, jumped lightly, and soon jumped out of the secret room and landed on the ground.
"Further on, there is the Mausoleum of Emperor Murong."
Chu Rong whispered to Song Li and let go of her waist.
Song Li nodded, raised his eyes and looked at the dense forest in front of him, his eyes flickered a little.
She had seen in the book that the former Murong Dynasty was the overlord of the Zhongzhou Continent, except for the overseas Dongyue Kingdom, the countries on other continents were subservient to the obscenity of the Murong Dynasty, bowing their heads to the palace, and they did not dare to go against the will of Murong Tianzi.
It is the first time in the history of the Zhongzhou continent that the world is unified.
But later, because the ancestor of the Chu family, that is, Emperor Taizu, rebelled, the former overlord fell.
The Murong Dynasty changed dynasties, and the world was also divided, becoming the current situation of the four kingdoms.
The once incomparably glorious Murong Dynasty has now become a hurried stroke in the history books.
Thinking about it, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Song Li's mind, Song Li's body trembled slightly, and then stopped with a complicated expression.
"You are a descendant of the Murong family!"
She looked at Chu Rong's back in disbelief, and was extremely surprised in her heart.
Chu Rong nodded, his expression a little unclear, "Yes." ”
"Then you ......"
Song Li couldn't find any words to describe his heart at this time.
Chu Rong is actually a descendant of the Murong family who once achieved the unification of the world!
However, this can also explain why Emperor Tianxuan would use Gu worms to control him.
The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the Murong Dynasty has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, the influence of the Murong family is still there.
Maybe there are still people secretly plotting to restore Murong.
It's just that Chu Rong's identity is so special, how could Emperor Tianxuan leave him behind so many suspicious people.
"I'll know my story when your memory is restored."
Chu Rong didn't explain too much, but took Song Li's hand and continued walking.
Song Li pursed his lips and suppressed the many doubts in his heart.
After passing through the dense forest, the two came to a valley, and after walking a few hundred meters deeper, Song Li's eyes were presented with a huge stone mound.
The stone mound resembles a huge burial mound with a huge stone monument at the entrance, about three people high and ten meters wide.
Two words were written on the stele: Murong.
Because it was dark, I couldn't see anything around me at all, except for the trees.
Chu Rong pulled Song Li to the entrance, opened the stone door, the two looked at each other, Chu Rong suddenly said, "Are you afraid?" ”
Song Li was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, they are all your relatives." ”
Chu Rong smiled and pulled Song Li in.
Two steps into the staircase is a stone staircase with no bottom in sight, and at the end of the stone staircase is a stone door.
There is a hole in the middle of the stone gate.
Chu Rong took out two talismans from his arms and put them together, and then put the complete talismans into the hole.
"You should have heard of the saying that the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum is open, and the world is moving to the master, right?"
Chu Rong did not rush to open the stone door, but turned his head to look at Song Li.
Song Li nodded, this sentence is not a secret, but almost everyone in the world knows it.
It is said that there are treasures hidden in the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum that can subvert the world, and many people are looking for the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum in order to find out the truth and falsehood.
"Push open this door, whether the world can really move the master, let's go in now and see."
Chu Rong stretched out his hand and gently touched the stone door, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Song Li hesitated and nodded slowly.
Just as Song Li nodded, he saw Chu Rong twisting lightly towards the hole, and then, there was a 'click' sound from the stone door, and it seemed that a lock had been opened.
Chu Rong raised his hand to push the stone door open, and as the stone door slowly opened, the first thing that caught his eye was an extremely empty underground secret room that could not be seen at a glance.
Immediately after, an opening slowly opened on the roof of the secret room, revealing hundreds of night pearls.
In an instant, the entire chamber lit up, as if it were daylight.
Song Li looked at the shocking scene in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
I saw that the dense white bones were piled up all over the secret room, and there was no gap, like a white sea with no end in sight.
The white bones are not terrifying, nor are they gloomy, only a sense of sadness......
It's inexplicably shocking.
"This is what others call the world shifter."
Chu Rong glanced at Song Li, his expression a little desolate.
Song Li looked at Chu Rong's lonely and desolate expression, and his heart trembled slightly.
"This mass grave was built by my great-grandfather, when the world was not yet peaceful, and wars broke out in various countries for many years, and my great-grandfather also joined it." Chu Rong said slowly, "Every time the war ended, my great-grandfather would take my grandfather and soldiers to the battlefield to pick up unclaimed dead people, whether it was the enemy army or his own people. ”
"The dead grandfather who picked up was sent to Qingyun Mountain for burial, these you see are not picked up by my great-grandfather, those are buried in the place we just walked through, these are the ones that my grandfather took my father to pick up after the completion of the Murong Emperor's Mausoleum."
"My great-grandfather, two generations of grandfathers, used this pile of white bones to tell us that this is the price of the world......"
"The bones of my great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother are all in this pile of bones, and my parents' are still sent in by my own hands."
Chu Rong said, closing his eyes in pain.
Song Li's heart was extremely complicated, she looked at Chu Rong's painful appearance, and reached out to hug his shoulder.
Silent companionship is more useful than audible comfort at this time.
"One will make a ...... ten thousand bones wither"
Song Li patted Chu Rong's back, raised his eyes to look at the sea of white bones in front of him, and suddenly sighed.
"Yes, fortunately, the world is peaceful now...... Chu Rong buried his head in Song Li's neck and whispered: "Only people like the crown prince are really suitable to be emperors." ”
"Haven't you ever thought about returning to the country?"
Song Li had some doubts in his heart.
Chu Rong slowly raised his head and left Song Li's arms.
"No, my grandfather didn't, my father didn't, I didn't have ......"
