C415 Liu's Tomb
C415 Liu's Tomb
"Drainage?"
Zhou Yan was startled.
"That's right. Come and help us lure the mercury to the other empty tombs. That way, we'll have a much easier time dealing with it!"
Faang Cheng's brain worked fast enough! With the help of Zhou Yan and Ye Lei, a deep "open channel" was created from the Main Coffin Chamber Gate that extended all the way to the sixth empty tomb. Faang Cheng indicated for Zhou Yan and the others to retreat, he pressed on the mechanism button of the Main Coffin Chamber Gate, and the door quickly rose up, a silver grey liquid with a metallic luster immediately swished out, and if Faang Cheng and the other two did not find mercury inside, the mercury would flood out and engulf the three of them, and the tomb would become their burial ground!
"Heavens …"
Seeing this scene, Ye Lei couldn't help but jump two steps back, afraid that the mercury would splash onto his body! After the liquid mercury gushed out, it slowly retreated like the waves of the ocean, following the channel dug by Faang Cheng and the others and flowing towards the empty tomb chamber.
After waiting for the mercury to completely flow through his body, Faang Cheng was shocked to discover that there was another door behind the Main Coffin Chamber gate that had just risen! One of the dragons was a lot larger than the other. The dragon's horn and claws were already mature, and the other dragon's horn was slightly protruding. It was coiling around the dragon's neck with a mischievous look!
"Dragon?"
Everyone knew that this dragon represented imperial power in the ancient times. Since the emperor called himself the son of the true dragon, then this tomb … Could it be an emperor?
"Could this be the tomb of some low-key emperor?"
Ye Lei did not know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the engravings on the door, he could not help but shake his head.
"No, I think... This should be the tomb of one of the late prince. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many flying dragons carved into the door! It seems... This emperor really dotes on this son of his! "
"Hmm, I think what Faang Cheng said makes sense!"
Zhou Yan nodded.
"Mm …" There seemed to be some truth to it! Oh, alright, let's hurry up and open the Main Coffin Chamber. Once we open the Main Coffin Chamber, we can probably find an answer to everything! "
Ye Lei pointed to the door as he walked over. Faang Cheng then walked over and carefully observed the two flying dragons on the door carved with a flying dragon. After observing for a while, Faang Cheng realized that the two flying dragons only had one eye, because they drew a profile.
"Rumble..."
Following the loud rumbling sounds from the internal mechanism, the stone door that weighed several tons finally opened. A large tomb that was around seventy to eighty square meters wide appeared before the three of them! In front of the sarcophagus located in the center of the tomb, there was a stone terracotta soldier about the size of a person. From the way it was decorated, it seemed to be from the royal family.
"There is an inscription here …"
Ye Lei moved closer and discovered the inscription on the stone seat under the terracotta soldier's feet.
"My son, Liu Qing, has passed away in a bizarre manner. Father has often thought about it, and his heart is filled with grief …"
"This is the tomb of Prince Wei of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Mu?"
After Ye Lei finished reciting the inscription, he could not help but exclaim in surprise!
The crown prince of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Liu Mu. Faang Cheng had read about this person before. It was said that he had been the crown prince for a very long time, and had held the position of crown prince for over thirty years! And because he had been the crown prince for too long, the old emperor thought that he had thoughts of becoming the emperor as soon as possible. Therefore, when Jiang Chong created the voodoo Gu and set up Liu Mu's rebellion, Emperor Han Wu believed it without a doubt, but in reality, Liu Qing was a kind-hearted person and had never thought of cultivating his own force. Helpless, Emperor Han Wu had suspected him, and in the end, he chose to commit suicide because he couldn't endure the humiliation of being arrested! However, looking at the matter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exterminating Jiang Chong, his feelings for the crown prince, Liu Mu, were still very deep. Furthermore, he actually built such a huge tomb for the crown prince in such a deep forest.
"But …" Didn't Liu Xu commit suicide due to injustice? "Why is it that this inscription is filled with a bizarre immortal passing?"
Ye Lei looked at the inscription and said.
"Strange and bizarre …"
Faang Cheng pondered over these words, when suddenly, he realised what was going on. He quickly walked to the sarcophagus at the center of the tomb, and opened it with a palm, only to see that what was inside the sarcophagus was not what he was thinking, but was instead a scepter with a gem embedded within! The Scepter was about 1.8 meters long, and its entire body was the color of a jet-black spear. It emitted a heavy metallic luster, and on the head of the Scepter was a gemstone about the size of a baby's head. At this moment, the gemstone was releasing a colorful and dazzling multicolored light!
"Wow …"
When Ye Lei saw the Scepter, he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment. He had never seen such a precious gem, to actually be able to constantly change its color.
"Oh my god, can this be counted as a miracle?"
As he said that, his hand subconsciously extended towards the Scepter. When Faang Cheng saw Ye Lei's actions, for some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart.
"Don't touch it …"
But it was already too late. Ye Lei's hand had already touched the gem on the Scepter, and the moment the Scepter was touched by Ye Lei, it immediately shot out with a 'whoosh', as if someone was controlling it. It suddenly raised its head and smashed towards Ye Lei.
Without enough time to think, Faang Cheng immediately leaped up and pushed Ye Lei to the side. The Scepter actually landed solidly on Faang Cheng's left shoulder, causing his shoulder blade to shatter, his skin and flesh torn off, and fresh blood dripping all over. This sudden pain caused Faang Cheng to feel extremely pained on his face, but at the same time, he was also extremely shocked, he had already instantly used his spirit energy to protect his body, but it was completely useless.
"Err …"
The intense pain caused Faang Cheng to fall to the ground, his fresh blood spilling all over the ground.
"Faang Cheng!"
When Zhou Yan saw that Faang Cheng was injured, he suddenly rushed forward.
"How are you?"
Looking at Faang Cheng who was baring his teeth, he could not help but ask nervously.
"It's fine …"
As Faang Cheng spoke, he used his own spirit energy to repair his bones and muscles, but the process was very slow. This was something that had never happened before, and he couldn't help but fearfully look at the scepter that was lying on the ground!
And at that moment, the Scepter had dropped to a place not far from the ground that was drenched with Faang Cheng's blood, and a strand of blood that had not been absorbed by the ground started to flow towards the Scepter. The moment the blood came into contact with the Scepter, the Scepter suddenly flew into the air, and started to tremble violently!
