Chapter 228: The Mausoleum
The Green Protectors stopped outside the cave, they were not eligible to enter the mausoleum.
Su Ying and Xiao Yan looked at each other and slowly walked into the cave.
The cave doesn't look big from the outside, but when you walk in, you find that the cave is very spacious, and there are beads illuminated inside, leading them all the way down.
The cave was winding, and the two walked cautiously for nearly a quarter of an hour before they came to a stone gate.
Xiao Shen observed the situation around the stone gate, and finally gently turned a shelf with beads on the side of the stone gate.
With a "click", a crack opened in the stone door in front of him, and after a while, a stone door for two people to pass through side by side appeared in front of him.
When Su Ying was about to walk in, he was pulled by Xiao Yan.
She looked back at him quizzically.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, he pulled her directly behind him and walked to the front by himself.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, looking at his solid and wide back, as if her heart had been scratched by a cat.
Behind the stone gate was a row of stone stairs that winded straight down, and the ladder went down, and the two walked for a long time before they came to a stone door again.
After the mechanism that pulled the stone door opened the stone door, a strong golden light hit the stone room, almost blinding Su Ying's eyes.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, and waited until she got used to the light before she slowly opened them and followed Xiao Shen in.
Rao is two people who have seen the world and gone through the wind and waves, and they are also blinded by the mountains of gold, silver and gems piled up inside.
What kind of mausoleum is this, this is clearly a treasure trove, no wonder the previous empress didn't let anyone else near this place.
Su Ying also curiously stepped forward to pick up a golden cup and checked it, and after making sure that these things were real, she suddenly wanted to laugh three times.
Damn, get rich!
Xiao Ember gathered his thoughts and fell his gaze to a large bookcase on the side.
He walked over and picked up a book and flipped through it, it was written on how to control people, and there were some unique secret techniques.
"Golem book?" Su Ying picked up a book casually and looked at it, Isn't this what she saw in the field that day, the way to train those children?
"The rulers here have cut off the minds of those people through various trainings, and they have almost lost the ability to think for themselves, and only know to obey orders and be loyal to the empress." But the rulers forget that they have only one of themselves, but the empress can be many.
That's why those people were able to come to confess the Lord so soon after she arrested Wei Ji.
Su Ying turned her eyes to look at a large and thick booklet, she curiously walked over and opened it, and it was recorded that it was the origin of Tiankui City.
A hundred years ago, this was already a place where the prisoners were exiled, but there were not so many people, and then a woman suddenly appeared, integrated all the prisoners, and let them spend a full thirty years to establish the city of Tiankui and establish themselves as emperors.
But it didn't take long for the empress to find that as she grew older, there were more and more people around her, and some people even had the idea of rebelling, in order to avoid the Tiankui City she had worked so hard to create from being subverted, she found a puppet secret art out of nowhere, and began to search for young children to enter the city, and began to train, so that they could become puppets without thoughts, and she could cut off their life and death.
That way, she doesn't have to worry about her throne being snatched away.
But people will eventually die of old age, and when they feel that their lives are short, the empress chooses a person she likes to succeed to the throne, this person is the previous empress before Wei Ji.
The previous empress adhered to the purpose of the previous empress, and carried forward the puppet technique, and the normal people in the city before either died or were gradually expelled, and since then, the city of Tiankui has become what they see now.
It's just that the previous female queen is recorded above, and there is no record of Wei Ji next.
The booklet also does not specify who the previous empress intended to succeed to the throne, and does not even mention it.
Su Ying counted the time, when the first empress died, it was probably the thirtieth year after the city of Tiankui was completely established, and the second was not very old when he succeeded to the throne, until the record was broken, it was only less than thirty years, and the life span of the first one was almost half shorter.
It is also recorded in the booklet that the new one can succeed to the throne by defeating the previous one, which is a formal competition, not a fight like she and Wei Ji.
But there is no record of Wei Ji in the booklet, and this woman is likely to be a usurper.
Su Ying closed the booklet and continued to rummage through other booklets, trying to find some records about Wei Ji, but after looking around, there was not even a word.
This person seemed to appear in Tiankui City out of thin air.
"Xiao Yan, you don't think that the city of Tiankui was given to us by God." couldn't find it, Su Ying didn't bother anymore, but closed the booklet and looked at Xiao Yandao.
Xiao Yan looked at her and suddenly laughed.
When he smiled, Su Ying was stunned, and she had to admit that he looked so good when he smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You just said 'we.'"
Su Ying frowned, is there anything wrong with this wording? Does this kid still want to monopolize it?
"Boy, you'd better not have dangerous thoughts, or I'll make you a puppet."
Xiao Yan was not afraid of her threat at all, "It's not impossible to be your puppet." ”
Su Ying looked at his darker and brighter eyes, and always felt that he had something to say.
She changed the subject: "There is no record in the booklet of how these gold and silver jewels came from. ”
"It doesn't matter how he came here, it's all ours now."
Su Ying felt that this made sense, but she was still a little uneasy about putting things here, and next time she had to find an opportunity to hide some of them into the space, and the space was the safest.
As they walked inside, they found that there was indeed a coffin inside, and the surface of the coffin was also extremely luxurious, and it was inlaid with various gems.
Su Ying felt that this should be the coffin of the first empress.
However, there is only one coffin, which also makes Su Ying more sure of his guess that Wei Ji's position as empress cannot be obtained normally.
"Let's get out first." This mausoleum goes all the way to the coffin section, and then it comes to an end.
Su Ying nodded and followed Xiao Shen out of the cave.
The Green Protector watched the two of them come out and stepped forward respectfully.
"Go back first, and let all the people who come with me go to the main hall."
"Yes."
The city of Tiankui has been taken, and the next question is how to take over this place and turn it into its own territory.
Qiao Yang and the others also walked around the city, the buildings here are very majestic, you can imagine how much manpower and material resources were wasted in the construction back then, it is not an exaggeration to say that this city is made of corpses.
