Nangong Mingyuan knew that nothing could be gained by asking. Since he couldn't find the holy Gu, he would make it impossible for everyone to get it. Isn't it just a bug? The king of a country should be afraid of a small bug!
Before leaving, he left a message: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. At worst, I will demolish the ancestral temple and build a new one!"
Nangong Mingzhe lowered his head and said nothing, expressing his resistance with silence, praying silently in his heart: "I hope they can be safe."
Now that Su Yining and the others have found the entrance to the underground palace, they must be able to find it soon, too, the second prince.
It is a big deal for the ancestral temple to be entered by thieves. As a king who has just taken office but has not yet ascended the throne, it is a great shame and humiliation. Naturally, he cannot let it go.
In the Imperial Study Room, Saint Yue'er walked into the hall with lotus steps in a moon-white robe. Her expression was cold and noble, and her eyes were indifferent, without sadness or joy. When the maids retired, her true colors were revealed.
"Why are you calling me here in such a hurry?" She had just become a saint and was enjoying the worship and cheers of the people. This feeling made her feel elated. The taste of power was so wonderful.
Nangong Mingyuan looked at Yue'er in front of him infatuatedly. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, the pure and pure saint in his mind. He came to her just to claim credit.
"Yue'er, I know where the holy Gu is!" He took the other person's slender hand and sat on the throne together, looking arrogantly waiting for praise.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and flashed a dangerous light: "Found it? Then why are you still standing there, why don't you get the holy Gu?"
"...Well, don't I want to share my happiness with you first?" Nangong Mingyuan looked at her sadly, with a disappointed expression.
Yue'er's goal is not just the position of a saint, she has greater ambitions, and he is just a stepping stone for her. Of course, this stepping stone must be stable now.
She took the initiative to hold his hand and said softly: "I'm worried about you. What if something happens to the Holy Gu? If no Holy Gu wants to get anything, you have to spend a lot of time and money. You need to find the Holy Gu first.
We can also hurry up and get married when the time comes."
Nangong Mingyuan, who was downcast just now, immediately became more motivated and vowed to her: "Don't worry, Yue'er, I will bring the Holy Gu back!"
At the same time, Su Yining and others had entered the interior of the underground palace.
The surroundings were so dark that she couldn't see her fingers. She took out a fire stick from her pocket, lit it and found a palace lantern on the wall not far away.
After it was lit, the surrounding area lit up. This should be the entrance. This place was different from the ancient tombs. Perhaps because it was necessary to come in from time to time, there was no heavy bluestone door installed.
"Be careful, there may be a mechanism here." This tomb is very strange. The ground is very clean and there is no dust. It can be seen that someone has cleaned it, probably because of the previous wedding.
It was obvious that the corridors of the tomb were still decorated with red silk, and everything was too quiet, so quiet that it was scary.
She remembered that Nangong Mingzhe said that this was his mother's imperial mausoleum, and even kings of all dynasties would be buried here after their death. It was really a strange way of burial.
Now his father and mother have been dead for several days, and there is no mourning. It is possible that the second prince does not know this rule of the royal family.
"Princess, be careful!" She only felt her arm being pulled suddenly.
Her thoughts were quickly reversing in her mind, and she didn't pay attention to the sudden appearance of the suspended plank road. If it weren't for her cold glance and quick hands, she might have fallen down at this moment.
She patted her chest with lingering fear and lowered her head to look at the suspended place. There was a faint cold air coming from the bottomless bottom.
Is it windy? This cold air smells damp. There is probably water or an underground river below.
"Thank you, I was distracted just now." After thanking her, she looked to the left and right, where is the Holy Gu? After walking for a while, why couldn't she find a place to place the Holy Gu?
As a last resort, everyone could only temporarily separate and search this small area, while Nangong Mingyuan outside had already begun to look for a mechanism to enter the underground palace.
The first tomb is on the left side of the plank road. The group of people had to press close to the wall to get through. The entire tomb is made of bluestone. This kind of stone is very hard and difficult to explode even with explosives.
"Princess, please be careful, the layout here is very strange." This is the first time Leng Yi has seen such a tomb. Although he has not encountered any mechanisms so far, it does not mean that it is safe.
In order to prevent falling, everyone held hands and rubbed their backs against the wall on the platform protruding from the rock.
At the end is the entrance to the tomb. It's hard to imagine how the craftsmen at that time built it. There are some uneven round stones on the wall, each of which is very uniform. It is very beautiful when the black light is illuminated by the torch.
The tomb is about seventy or eighty square meters, and there is a huge coffin inside. The coffin is carved with dragons, paintings and phoenixes. The coffin is made of a material similar to iron wood.
There is an incense table, a memorial tablet, and a painting in the tomb. It has been blurry for too long. From the blur, you can clearly see that the painting on it is a man and a woman, holding hands.
Su Yining picked up the tablet on the incense table and wiped the dust off it. It said the spiritual tablet of the thirty-second king Nangong Tian and the saint An Ran.
Leng Yi came over to take a look and said in a deep voice: "This should be Nangong Mingzhe's great-great-grandfather. I have seen it in the intelligence of various countries."
She looked at him with wide eyes and said in shock: "Do you secret guards even remember the names of other people's grandfathers?" She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After a brief inspection, they returned from the original route. It seemed that the tomb was probably expanding in another direction, so they could only walk on the plank road.
Li Chuan was walking in the last position. After he walked by, the small black stones on the wall suddenly moved...
There are many small black stones along the plank road, and there are some stone figurines holding long-haired swords in their hands, guarding the tomb dutifully.
In a daze, Su Yining looked at the pebbles on the ground and said, "Is there one missing here? It seemed like it was still missing just now?" She said to herself in confusion.
At this time, before she could think more, the sound of the turning mechanism sounded again in the silent imperial mausoleum. Nangong Mingyuan had found the location of the mechanism and sent a large number of soldiers in at the same time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Yining whispered: "Quickly leave!"
There were once again missing many stones where she had stepped. Those fallen stones turned over on the ground, and then they suddenly started shaking. Suddenly, eight slender insect legs grew out of these stones.
The insects are very similar to those raised by the high priest.
