When You Shu woke up, there were nineteen people around him, nineteen pairs of copper bell-sized eyes staring at him with a burning light, and the feeling was indescribable. He immediately propped up his upper body, leaned into his master's arms, and stammered, "You, what do you want?"
"Ji Gongzi, are you awake? Did you sleep well?" Liu Chuanshan smiled very flatteringly.
"Very good, thank you." Youshu got goosebumps all over her body, rubbing her arms and looking around, seeing a sleeping talisman thrown on the ground, she suddenly realized, "It's my fault, I forgot to explain when I was about to sleep. Next When Emperor Huichun wakes up, you will do as you please."
"Okay, it's still Mr. Ji's thoughtful consideration. It's getting late, let's continue walking?" As soon as Liu Wenfu proposed, everyone agreed, simply ate some dry food, and continued to walk forward.
It was another long, bottomless step. At the end, I came to a small Tiankeng. Standing on the edge of the Tiankeng and looking down, I couldn't see anything. Everyone lit torches to illuminate them, and the fog shrouded in it was like a living thing, and even the light was swallowed up completely. The unpredictable scene was terrifying.
"We can't see anything, so we can't go down? If the pit is full of hungry ghosts, wouldn't we have to be gnawed into bones?" A lieutenant general was timid.
"Throw the torch down and have a look." Meng Changye waved his hand and ordered.
The torches are all made of dry wood, and they take up a lot of space. When going down to the underground palace, I didn’t prepare much. If I wasted one, it would be the same as ushering in darkness earlier. And in the underworld, darkness is the most terrifying thing. You Shu hurriedly stopped it, and then shook out a fire talisman from her cuff, which was stimulated and thrown into the sky pit.
He also underestimated the danger of the underground palace, so the prepared talismans were not enough. Only two layers of hell would cost three or four out of ten, and it was unknown whether the remaining sixteen layers could be successfully passed. But he is not helpless, if he really reaches the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, even if he releases his blood, he will send his master out safely.
While thinking about it, the Fire Talisman flew and fell at a very slow speed, and then swirled back and forth in the overcast wind, dispelling the black mist and illuminating the scene in the pit. Everyone looked down and took a breath. There are dense iron trees growing below, every branch is a sword and halberd, every leaf is a dagger, and the vines climbing on the rock are shining with cold light, and I know that they must be sharp.
"This, how can this go on? There is no place to settle down at all!" Liu Chuanshan's face was full of despair.
"Wait, what is that?" Meng Changye pointed at the dark shadow hidden among the iron trees and vines.
You Shu stared at it, but couldn't tell the difference, so he lit another fire talisman and shot at it. Hei Ying obviously didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to take the shot, and he was burned before he had time to dodge. He immediately covered his face with his arms and screamed. But in an instant, everyone has seen his appearance, it is actually a Shura with green face and fangs, covered with hair. The roar attracted more Shura to move between the branches, as if waiting for the watering of fresh flesh and blood.
"Stay back, they're coming up." You Shu quickly took out several different talismans and arranged a five thunder lore formation. Meng Changye waved his hand to send everyone back, but he raised his saber and guarded him tightly.
The five talismans flew to the sky above the Tiankeng under the impetus of Emperor Ziwei, forming a five-edged magic circle. Shu bit his fingertips and bounced a drop of blood into the center. The blood of outsiders made these Asuras even more manic, their sharp claws dug into the rock and climbed up one after another. They all wanted to be the first to eat Youshu, so they all huddled together. The moment Shura jumped out of the tiankeng, the magic circle finally finished charging up and descended one after another, thick and strong Xuan Lei with the Qi of Emperor Ziwei. .
Thunder light is the nemesis of all evil things. Asuras climbed up one by one, turned into coke and fell one after another, and even those iron trees and vines were also chopped into pieces, horrible to see. Xuan Lei slashed for half an hour before gradually disappearing, and the five talismans also burned and fell into the sky pit.
With the light from the talisman, everyone ran to the edge to look down, and couldn't help but take a breath. Just now, the swords and halberds had returned to the bottom of the pit, and now there was no threat except for many charred corpses and a pile of broken copper and iron. To attract Tianlei with one's own strength, what kind of profound Taoism is this? Everyone thought that they had underestimated Ji Gongzi, but looking at it now, they still underestimated him. I am afraid that his strength has already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people and has reached the point where ghosts and gods are unpredictable.
Liu Wen wanted to ask Ji Gongzi where he came from, but he held back. Some things are still unknown.
"It's safe now, let's go down." You Shu didn't know that her behavior was shocking, and turned around and waved to a lieutenant who was holding the rope.
The lieutenant commanded the order with sincerity and fear, tied the rope to a firm rock, and slipped down first, calling his companions down after confirming that there was no danger. Meng Changye held Youshu in one hand and the rope in the other, and slowly descended to the bottom of the pit. His expression did not show a trace of relaxation, but was more dignified than before. The more Youshu behaved differently, the more uneasy he became. He was always worried that one day, this person would disappear silently, and he would not be able to find him even if he went to heaven and earth.
"If you're not Emperor Chun, then who are you, why would you run into the palace?" He asked in a deep voice when he put the person down.
Youshu said vaguely, "I am Youshu, not Ji Youshu. When I find the ghost who performed the soul-moving technique, maybe I can answer all your questions. I am also confused now."
Meng Changye seemed to give up begging for an answer, just gave him a deep look, and then took him under his arm and walked towards the steps that appeared again. The crowd quickly followed.
Youshu turned her head down, her cheeks flushed red, kicking her legs and shouting, "Put me down, I can walk by myself. The hell is in front of me. If you are not fully prepared, you must not go down, or you will be scattered. !"
"The hell of the mirror, it shows the sins that each ghost committed during his lifetime, and then they are sent to other hells according to the severity of the crime, is that so?" Liu Wen instantly raised his guard.
"Yes, so when we pass by the evil mirror, we are very likely to be put on other levels." You Shu slapped the master's firm buttocks repeatedly, and strongly urged him not to sandwich himself.
"In this case, you must follow me, and you can't relax." Meng Changye saw that he was uncomfortable, so he had to put the person down, and then asked the lieutenant for a rope to tie their waists together. Everyone felt that this method was very good, and they followed suit, but in an instant it became a grasshopper on a rope.
Twenty people in a chain slowly descended to the fourth floor of the cave. They saw that the walls of the cave were as smooth as a mirror, and their slenderness was revealed. After reflecting the human figures, they slowly distorted, showing many different scenes, but this scene is only for one's own life. Only those who have experienced it can see, and the rest have no idea.
I don't know which one screamed, and when I looked again, the rope was broken, and the other party disappeared. Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the people on the left and right. Meng Changye only had time to hold the dog cub, and then grabbed the military division. He felt a tight waist, and he didn't know who was holding him, and they all disappeared in place.
With a muffled thud, the four fell to the ground, smashing a lot of dust. When Meng Changye fell, he turned over, put the puppy on his belly, and used it as a back pad for him. Unexpectedly, two big men fell one after another, crushing him to the point of death.
"Get up, motherfucker, don't press Yushu!" He threw the people on the dog's body one by one, and finally raised his eyes to see that it was Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan.
"It turns out that it's useless to tie the rope, you have to hold hands." You Shu lay in the master's arms and sighed angrily.
"This is the end of the matter, I can only take one step at a time." Meng Changye pinned the messy hair on his forehead behind his ear, sat up halfway, and lit the torch.
Over there, Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan also lit the torches, walked to the front to check the situation, and then exclaimed in disbelief. Anyone who comes here will not believe that this is hell, but in the open place in front stands a splendid palace. The glazed tiles on the palace are covered with flying dragon ridges. There are purple-gold columns and black-gold floor tiles faintly radiating light, which is dazzling. Such an ingenious and majestic building obviously exceeded the expectations of Meng Changye and others.
They stood there for a long time before murmured, "The treasure must be inside."
Youshu was also stunned, but not because of the majesty of the palace. He covered his face and tried desperately to hold back the surging tears, but it didn't work at all, instead it fell more and more. This used to be the master's dormitory, the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Daoguang, and the imperial city of the Dayan Empire, which had been wiped out in the long history. It appeared underground inexplicably, and you don't need to think about it to know that it is the master's handwriting.
Is his body still inside? Thinking of this, You Shu immediately ran towards the palace.
"You Shu, what are you running for? Come back and be careful!"
Meng Changye had long discovered that some kind of bright red flowers and thorns were growing around the palace. They swayed and wriggled as if alive, and then raised the vine whip to choose someone to devour. If Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan had not retreated in time, they would have been dragged in and hanged. But You Shu, who was always alert, rushed in regardless, making Meng Changye terrified. He hurriedly chased after him with a steel knife, but found that the vines and flowers didn't seem to have the heart to hurt each other.
"Ji Gongzi is really extraordinary, hurry up, let's keep up!" Liu Wen grabbed Liu Chuanshan and ran all the way.
They stepped on the black and gold floor tiles of the palace in front of them, and thorns and flowers blocked their retreat, and the rustling and squirming back and forth was daunting. In this way, there is only one way to go to the dark! The three followed You Shu around the veranda, through the open space and the garden, and came to a closed vermilion lacquer gate. On the door was a plaque with the words "Qianqing Palace" in large characters.
"Qianqing Palace? Isn't this the residence of the emperors of all dynasties?" Liu Wen's heart was pounding, guessing that the treasures of the Ji family should be kept here, but it was obviously not an easy task to open this door, because in addition to the complicated The pattern still has a concave palm print.
But with Mr. Ji here, everything is easy to say. Just thinking about this, Youshu pressed the palm print and pushed the door open with the crape myrtle. The old creaking sound was sour, and a little dust fell. Even in the dark underground, the palace was as bright as day, and a closer look revealed that it was actually caused by the countless night pearls inlaid on the walls and pillars.
You Shu resisted her tears and bypassed the eight carved screens. When she came to the apse, she saw two huge coffins placed side by side, emitting a shimmering white light, followed by a wall several feet high, carved with ten Dian Yama, twenty-four prison masters, one hundred judges, one thousand city gods and other reliefs.
Meng Changye and others were attracted by the luxurious decorations in the hall, while You Shu was full of eyes with only the two coffins. The coffin was so tall that it had to jump into the air to grab the edge. Some Shu jumped two or three times before kicking up on it, lying on top of the crystal coffin carved with nine golden coiled dragons, looking in blankly.
That is the old master. His body is very well preserved, and his cheeks even show a healthy blush, as if he had just slept in a light sleep. But the state of no soul fluctuation tells You Shu that this is just an empty shell. It turns out that this place is not the underworld, but his sleeping place? And how could he leave him and become Emperor Chun and be raised by others
Could it be that when he was dying, he would not give himself a place in the grave? You Shu was sad and aggrieved, and when her eyelids closed slightly, a few teardrops the size of beans fell out. She turned to look at a coffin full of colorful phoenixes next to her, and then she was stunned. . Who is this person? How can it be so unfamiliar
When he was shocked, Meng Changye and others also discovered something extremely strange. Lifting the layers of gauze curtains, they found that the walls were actually covered with portraits. Judging from the delicate brushwork and realistic style, this should be the work of the same person. The first few paintings depict a sleeved dog with a big slap in various postures and expressions, which are very vivid and cute. Behind them are portraits of figures. A boy in white is hugged or kissed by a tall man. , or soothing, with a very intimate demeanor.
It's not surprising that a man falls in love with a man, but the strange thing is that the portrait is obviously realistic. What is even more incredible is that the facial features of the young man are exactly the same as Ji Gongzi, from the corners of the eyes to the brows, from the body shape to the bearing, it can be said to be the same; Just a beard and a scar.
Seeing that the names of Emperor Daoguang were written on the inscriptions, and they were covered with private seals, it was obvious that these paintings were completed 600 years ago. Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan were already stunned, but Meng Changye was pale and furious. In the dark, he knew that there was no doubt that the person on the portrait was Shu.
He turned his head to look back, saw You Shu was crying in front of a crystal coffin, and immediately went over to check. Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan also chased after him. The three jumped onto the coffin, and they were all stunned again.
"General, this Emperor of Light really looks like you!" Liu Wen was completely stunned. He learned from the text carved on the edge of the coffin that this was indeed the corpse of Emperor Daoguang, the first emperor of the past, and the last hero in history to unify the Eastern Continent. Since him, no dynasty has been able to create the grand plan to conquer Kyushu. The treasure he left must be extraordinary!
But Meng Changye didn't have the heart to think about the treasure anymore. He grabbed Youshu's arm tightly and asked sharply, "Who are you? You approached me and insisted on staying by my side because I looked like this dead person? Is it or isn't it?"
You Shu looked up to see the living master for a while, and lowered her eyes to see the long-dead master for a while, slowly falling into belated sadness and confusion. Even if he slept for hundreds of years and failed to experience the death of his master, the moment he saw his body, he was still in unbearable pain.
Meng Changye couldn't get an answer for a long time, as if he understood something, he raised the steel knife and smashed the coffin, scolding, "Damn your mother! I Meng Changye are just a substitute! You did everything possible to come in with us to reunite with him, right? I tell you, no way! You are my person when you are born, and you are my ghost when you die!"
Youshu jumped up, hanging from his strong arm, begging repeatedly, "Don't cut, please! You are not a substitute, you are the reincarnation of the master, you are the same person originally!"
But for Meng Changye, any reincarnation is empty, he only knows that he is Meng Changye, and you can only belong to Meng Changye, and can no longer read anyone, especially a dead person who looks the same as him.
"Master, you call him Master? So you've been sleeping here before, right? You've slept for six hundred years? You wake up and look for his reincarnation in the mortal world, which is me?" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Split the crystal, trying to destroy the body of Emperor Daoguang.
Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan hurried to pull, but saw that the corpse turned into a plume of blue smoke the moment it touched the air and dissipated, leaving only a flickering, ingenious dragon robe slowly falling to the bottom of the coffin. She didn't even have the last thought, Yushu was pulled back to reality and jumped down, holding the dragon robe and crying, then digging her head into the fabric and sniffing the last strand left by the master. Ambergris aroma.
He was lying on the ground, his shoulders trembling, he looked extremely fragile, and there were more miserable cries coming, which made people feel sorry. Only then did Meng Changye realize that he was a little extreme, but he was just a dead person.
He looked towards the military advisor, his eyes showing the meaning of asking for help.
Liu Wen waved his hand, indicating that he could do nothing. He is still stunned. Although he had already guessed that Ji Gongzi had an extraordinary origin, he did not expect him to be a true god. He slept for six hundred years, and he was immortal. Even the famous Daoguang Emperor was his servant under his skirt, not to mention Such a rude general? Maybe the general is really the reincarnation of Emperor Daoguang. Did Ji Gongzi deliberately help him achieve hegemony
But this guess, Liu Wen only dared to think silently in his heart, how could he say it? The general's character is extremely domineering, and whoever wants to monopolize it inside and out will never admit that there is still a dead person in Ji Gongzi's heart, even if the dead person is his reincarnation, he will never recognize it.
When the general panicked and the strategist was at a loss, it was Liu Chuanshan, a stubborn old man, who saved the field. He lay on the other crystal coffin and sighed, "Oh my mother, who is this person? Shouldn't the person who can be placed in the phoenix coffin be the queen? The queen of Emperor Daoguang is only a man. That's all, how can you have small eyes, a flat nose, and rough skin, it's so ugly that you can't see it!"
Youshu immediately forgot to cry, crawled out holding the dragon robe, and lowered her eyes to take a closer look.
The face of the man in the crystal coffin was still somewhat immature. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was immersed in some kind of pale yellow liquid and seemed to fall asleep. His facial features are indeed very ugly, and his stature is relatively thin and short. The clothes he wears are not the shrouds of the Dayan Kingdom, but the uniforms of the Jin Kingdom's royal family. From this, it can be seen that this person should be from Jin.
"Could it be that this coffin was originally prepared by the master for me, but somehow it was taken by this man?" Thinking of Emperor Chun who took away his body, Youshu suddenly realized.
Liu Wen also said in horror, "Could this person be the real Emperor Chun? But why did he enter the underground palace for no reason?"
Do you still need to ask, it must be the ghost immortal who cast the soul-moving technique for him! You Shu was alert in his heart, but his face didn't show any signs, he slowly stood up and draped the bright yellow dragon robe over his master's shoulders, "Whether you admit it or not, in short, you are my master, not only in my previous life, but also in this life and my next life. , In the next life, I will follow you."
Meng Changye saw that he was crying so miserably just now, and thought he would definitely be angry, but when he climbed up, he made such a careful promise. Gray Daoguang Emperor.
"Okay, it's really good." He embraced the boy and said in a low voice, "Take this corpse out?"
Youshu shook his head secretly, expressing that he wanted to take another look, then jumped off the high platform and walked towards the high wall full of reliefs. He could feel that there was a power fluctuation in the wall that was very similar to the soul-fixing technique in his body, but he didn't know where it was hidden.
He raised his head, as if he was carefully examining the sunken palm print on the stone wall, but the corner of his eye swept over every relief. A relief at the bottom thought he was not paying attention, and was quietly and slowly turning his back, trying to hide behind the other judges.
At this moment, Liu Wen came over and guessed, "There is also a palm print here, you can press it to see, maybe Emperor Daoguang's treasure is hidden behind."
You Shu thought the same as him, and immediately raised his hand to press it. Sure enough, the stone wall slowly rose, revealing a huge palace room full of gold and silver treasures, which radiated colorful light under the illumination of the night pearl, almost blinding Liu Wen and others.
In the center of the treasure lies an imperial case, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study and a letter. There are Shu who don't look at the treasure, just walk over and open the envelope to read.
"There is my love, if you wake up one day, don't worry about me, go outside and live a good life. If there is a fate, we will see you in the next life." After a while, the letter paper that has been in existence for a hundred years will turn into dust and dissipate, and above the dome, a rumor spreads There was a creaking sound of the opening after another.
There is no doubt that this treasure was left by Emperor Daoguang for his beloved young man. Now that he has obtained it, all channels will be opened spontaneously, sending him to the land of light. Meng Changye stood beside him, and he looked at it clearly and clearly, but he didn't even think about it, but Liu Wen and Liu Chuanshan showed awe.
