Chapter 160: The Tomb
Lan Ting praised while picking, such a big night pearl can get so much at once, only the royal family has such strength in the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info finally his clothes were stuffed inside, but he was still not satisfied, and he did not stop until a large bag bulged out of his chest.
Lan Ting kept comforting himself in his heart, this is called doing the right thing for heaven, anyway, these night pearls were also obtained by the emperor who oppressed officials from all over the country and bullied the people. By doing so, he is giving the people a bad breath.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was chivalrous, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't fit it in his clothes, he would definitely tear off all the night pearls on the wall. As he pondered, he suddenly felt the line in front of him stop. Could it be that something strange happened again?
Lan Ting hurriedly walked over, and the closer he got to find that the brighter it was in front of him, could it be that there was a bigger Night Pearl in front of him? When he stood beside Qi Chu and found the spectacular scene in front of him, he covered his mouth with his hand in surprise, and then the Night Pearl in his arms fell one by one.
"Well, I'm not dreaming. ”
It is a burial chamber, but it is the size of a palace, with walls inlaid with gold and silver, and the ceiling of the burial chamber is made of glazed masonry. It was built in the mountains, but there was water flowing through the glass.
Qi Chu looked up, and the water above the glass didn't know how deep it was, but a thick beam of light shone down from above the water, illuminating the entire tomb. Even he had to admire the ingenuity of the people who built it at that time, and I am afraid that Lu Ban would not be able to defeat one or two of them when he was alive.
Look into the tomb again, the gold, silver, treasures, pearls and jade in the corners of the four corners are piled up, there is a crystal coffin in the center, and the beam above shines on the crystal coffin to emit a colorful halo, which seems to be real and illusory.
Generally speaking, there should be a body lying in such a crystal coffin that does not decay, but Qi Chu found that not only did there be no such body in the crystal coffin, but there were not even white bones. His eyes widened slightly, and his eyes penetrated through the crystal coffin, only to see a set of Luo skirts spread inside, and a black box was placed on top of the Luo skirt.
The black box is made of unknown materials, it is well sealed, and there is no rust on it. Qi Chuxin said: Are the ashes in this black box?
He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw the Heavenly Divine Dragon staring intently at the crystal coffin beside him, and walked towards the tomb. Qi Chu can now be sure that this is the real imperial tomb, except for the Ming royal family, there is no second person in the world who can have such a big hand.
If it is an imperial tomb, then there must be a hidden weapon in the tomb, and the power is huge. Although the martial arts of the Tongtian Divine Dragon are very high, it is still inappropriate to enter it rashly.
Qi Chu shouted: "Senior, be careful!"
The dragon turned a deaf ear and continued to walk forward, only to hear a "click" sound from the tomb, and then shot countless arrows from the surrounding walls, the tips of which were quenched and emitted a deep miserable green.
Qi Chu knew that if these feather arrows alone would naturally not hurt the Tongtian Divine Dragon, he found that the direction from which these feather arrows shot was extremely special, it seemed to be chaotic, and it seemed to be carefully designed, what kind of formation should it be.
What made him even more strange was that the Tongtian Divine Dragon did not dodge or dodge the feather arrows shot from all around, nor did he use his skills to resist, so he walked forward calmly, and his feet were quite orderly.
The feather arrow "swished" past the side of the dragon of Tongtian, not only could not hurt him, but also could not touch his clothes, which was really strange. Tongtian Shenlong's face did not change, and he walked towards the crystal coffin without chaos.
He also stopped when feathered arrows stopped shooting from the wall.
Qi Chu wanted to go in to find out, but he heard Tongtian Shenlong say, "Don't come in." The voice was no longer as strong as it had been, but it was like the supplication of an old man.
Qi Chu felt a pain in his heart when he heard his weak and hoarse voice, and couldn't help frowning, and commanded in a low voice, "We'll wait here." ”
Everyone didn't say much, and they all stood at the entrance of the tomb very cooperatively. It seemed to have been discussed in advance, no one moved, no one made a sound, just stood quietly.
At this moment, Qi Chu looked at the back of the Tongtian Divine Dragon and felt a trace of sentimentality in his heart. Although Tongtian Shenlong is among the top ten masters, he is actually an old man, lonely and lonely.
Suddenly, Qi Chu remembered that day in the Xiangnan Hall Tongtian Shenlong told himself about his past, the relationship with Concubine Cao Duan fifty years ago that ended without a problem.
Concubine Cao Duan? Qi Chu remembered in the bottom of his heart, isn't this the mausoleum of Emperor Jiajing? Could it be that the crystal coffin?
His brows tightened a little, looking at the crystal coffin that only contained a Luo skirt and a black box, and remembered that he had heard that Concubine Cao Duan was executed for the crime of treason, as if she had died of Ling Chi.
Ling Chi!
Qi Chu clenched his fists, it was the cruelest punishment of the Ming Dynasty. The executor had to cut off the flesh of the criminal piece by piece with a knife, which lasted several days, and he had to cut thousands of knives before and after, and the criminal must not be allowed to die during this period. In order to let the criminals taste that life is worse than death.
The sensational Ling Chi of the Ming Dynasty was the great eunuch Liu Jin, who was good at government politics when he was in power, and was in Ling Chi after being arrested. It is said that the great eunuch Liu Jin's Ling Chi experienced three days and was slashed to death by 3,300 knives.
Concubine Cao Duan died in Ling Chi, you can imagine how cruel it was.
Qi Chu finally understood why there was no body in the crystal coffin, and how could a person who had been cut by a thousand knives have a body?
Tongtian Shenlong stood in front of the crystal coffin, and when he got closer, he saw that the crystal coffin was carved with a phoenix. He put his hand on the coffin, and it was cold to the bone, and it hurt to the heart.
The reason why he was sure that this was Concubine Cao Duan's crystal coffin was because the Luo skirt inside was what he had given her. I didn't expect it to be here.
Tongtian Shenlong slowly pushed open the crystal coffin, Qi Chu looked at his back outside the tomb, only to feel that the old man immediately fell down.
When the crystal coffin was completely pushed open, Tongtian Shenlong reached out and took out the black box in the coffin, he also thought that it was the ashes of Concubine Cao Duan.
He hugged the black box to his chest, and his body gradually stiffened, this time where was still a peerless master, it was a poor old man.
"Luo Ying, I've come to see you. The old man squatted down holding the black box, his shoulders trembling, and he couldn't help but cry.
"Luo Ying, I'm Ziyu. ”
He hadn't mentioned the name for years. It's just because once I think of Qin Ziyu, the champion of Jiajing for 23 years, my heart will be painful.
I fell in love with each other back then, but I had no choice but to separate. He went away, but when he returned, he heard the news of her death. After 50 years of searching, I finally found her ashes today.
In Tongtian Shenlong's heart, did he regret more or miss more? Perhaps the interweaving of remorse and longing made his eyebrows white.
Suddenly, the majestic dragon was old, full of vicissitudes, full of melancholy, full of tears, sad, and sad.
Looking down at the box on his chest, his hands trembled, and his heart trembled as he opened the secret that had been sealed for many years.
