"When I woke up again, three days had passed, and I didn't know what had happened during this period, but the lid of the sycamore coffin was not covered, and the black gas that was full of coffins before didn't know where to disperse at this time, and when I watched the top of the tomb gradually gather up my loose consciousness and sit up from the coffin, I felt my heart hurt, as if something was there, as if it was about to rush out!"

"Could this be the origin of the blood-dripping sycamore flower on your chest?!" Jin Yi's eyes widened, and she looked at the red patch on Li Shaotang's chest again.

"Yes! I searched for a long time in the tomb that day, but I didn't see the bodies of my grandfather and the fat man who led the way, and everyone else disappeared, so I had no choice but to go home alone, but the weirdness happened on the first day!"

"You mean the murder in the dream that shocked the whole dynasty!" Even though twenty-five years have passed, Liu Jinyi still remembers this incident deeply.

"Not bad! My parents were also in the officialdom a year before that incident, but they all died at the hands of eunuchs! So that night I had a strange dream, I dreamed that my grandfather came back and took me to the current saint, told him about my parents' grievances, and prayed for my parents' innocence after their deaths, but the auxiliary minister and the eunuch were in collusion and accused me and my grandfather of being guilty of the same crime, so in a fit of anger, I broke their necks with my eyes in the dream!"

"But the next day they died in their own house so strangely, and the emperor had the same dream that night!" Liu Jinyi, who was a user of the gilt knife at that time, had also participated in politics in the court, and knew more about it than Li Shaotang.

"Not bad! At that time, the Empress Dowager thought that it was a good omen for the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, the auxiliary ministers had already forced the palace, so she simply said that I was a virtuous minister in the emperor's dream, so as to deter all those who had bad intentions towards the country!"

It turned out that this was really the case, the queen's motive, Liu Jinyi guessed it at that time, but what he didn't expect was that everything behind it was all facts.

"It was only after that night that this thing began to appear on my chest, and in order to better find my grandfather, I took advantage of the situation to accept the invitation of the Qing court, and every ten days after that, I would personally come with two hundred swords and axes to look for my grandfather's traces, but I never saw anything else except the cobwebs full of holes." Li Shaotang then said.

"But how do you know that twenty-five years later, that sycamore coffin will appear again?" Liu Jinyi asked curiously.

"Because just a year after that incident, when I led people to sneak into the tomb again, I met him - the leader Qi Manshan!" Li Shaotang immediately fell into a long deep thought, while Liu Jinyi had been listening intently.

"A year later, on the same day, the ancient tomb reappeared, and I happened to lead more than two hundred knife and axe men into the tomb to look for traces of my grandfather, but the strangeness appeared one after another from the time we first entered the tomb, and before we could get close to the main tomb, we lost nearly one hundred and fifty people, but outside the wall of the main tomb, I met him again, and before I could speak, he killed more than 20 of us in one move, and finally the knife went straight into my heart, But he finally said something inexplicable and then disappeared!"

"What did he say?" Liu Jinyi couldn't wait to take a step forward.

"He said that it was as recorded on the sycamore coffin, but I didn't have any impression of what was recorded on the sycamore coffin, but when I woke up and looked at the white-clothed zombies in the room all shining with green and faint blue eyes and looking at the blood-dripping sycamore flowers on my chest, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the Tocharian language on the inner wall of the tomb here!"

"That white-clothed zombie didn't attack you?!" Liu Jinyi asked puzzled.

"I don't know why, look at the wreckage all over the ground, all the people I brought are dead, and the white-clothed zombies have also been killed inexplicably, I guess it should be Qi Manshan's doing, his martial arts were far beyond the boundaries of human beings at that time!"

"From my point of view, I think it's very likely that the zombie in white not only didn't hurt you, but saved you from Qi Manshan's hands!" Liu Jinyi is a very reasonable guess based on experience.

"Judging from the situation at that time, what Lord Liu said does have some truth!" Li Shaotang also replied thoughtfully.

"Then look at it this way, Qi Manshan is here to see this wall full of Tocharian language, I think the record in this must be related to the gilded knife in my hand!" Liu Jinyi's experience is really rich, Li Shaotang just clicked, but he already knew the whole picture of things.

"Lord Liu is right, I wonder if Lord Liu has heard of the Loulan knife?" Li Shaotang said with great admiration.

"The Ancient Knife of the Western Regions - Loulan Knife?!" Liu Jinyi was taken aback, because although the gilded knife in his hand was as sharp as clay, it was not without opponents, and this Lou Lan knife was one of them.

"It seems that Lord Liu is fighting in the south and the north, and his knowledge is really extraordinary! This gilded knife in your hand is the predecessor of this ancient knife in the Western Regions, Lou Lan Knife!"
