Transcendent Ember

Chapter 496

"That's interesting." After hearing what Ferna said, Zhang Jichuan raised his eyebrows, "In the royal cemetery of the Xinhua Dynasty, there is actually the breath of a living person."

"Could it be emitted from these defenders?" Ms. Bai Ye asked cautiously.

"No." Fierna shook her head, "These guards are not blocked by the mountain, and the aura on their body is very hot. However, the aura of living people in that mountain, with the mountain blocking it, appears intermittent, like candles in the wind."

Ms. Bai Ye believed Ferna's judgment, and she looked at the mountain with surprise: "It seems that there are some ulterior secrets hidden in that mountain."

Zhang Jichuan asked, "Go and see?"

Ms. Bai Ye nodded: "Let's go!"

Ferna was also very excited: "Let's go, let's take risks."

Ms. Bai Ye immediately activated her innate ability 'Light Escape Technique' in Ms. Bai's form, leading Zhang Jichuan and Ferna into a ray of light, and instantly arrived at the target mountain peak, appearing at the gate of the Heavenly Palace on the top of the mountain.

The clouds gathered on the top of the mountain, and the three carefully walked around the soldiers in front of the Tiangong gate and entered the interior of the Tiangong.

A faint scent of sandalwood enters the nostrils, purifying both body and mind.At the same time, a seemingly absent sound of prayer reached the ears of the three.

Following the source of the sound, the three of them saw a group of dull-looking women kneeling and chanting scriptures in a wide mourning hall. In the middle of the mourning hall, hung a portrait. position.

"This is." Madam Bai Ye blinked, "Emperor Yi Yun's spirit seat?!"

"Yi Yun?" Zhang Jichuan was taken aback, "Yi Zhen and Yi An's father?"

"Yes." Ms. Bai Ye nodded, and introduced, "Yi Yun's temple name is Renzong, and his posthumous title is 'Zhao'. This is his spiritual seat."

"So this mountain is Yi Yun's cemetery?" Ferna asked.

Ms. Bai Ye: "It's probably close to ten."

Ferna asked again: "What are these ladies doing? Why do they live in Yi Yun's cemetery?"

"They." Madam Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said, "It should be Yi Yun's former concubines who were buried with them, right?"

"To be buried with him?" Zhang Jichuan was stunned, what year is it, and he was buried with him?
Also, aren't these real people?How do you say they were buried with them?
"Mr. Siliang, after all, you are also from the history department. Have you devoted all your energy to learning extraordinary knowledge?" Ms. Bai Ye asked strangely, and then explained, "Before the new extraordinary era, you also That is, almost 900 years before the extraordinary calendar, after the death of emperors and nobles, they were all buried with dignitaries.

"It was only later, as the level of civilization became higher and higher, people gradually awakened. In the midst of repeated protests and riots, the funeral system was gradually abolished. Now, after nobles die, they are no longer allowed to be buried with others.

"Only the emperors of various countries still retain some privileges. Of course, these privileges do not mean that they really want to kill people and bury them with the emperor, but that all the concubines of the emperor's life, except the next emperor's biological mother. Moved into the emperor's cemetery, and was not allowed to leave for life, and had to burn incense and pray for the emperor and the dynasty every day and night."

Zhang Jichuan exclaimed absurdly: "Isn't this equivalent to life imprisonment? It's not much better."

"Yes, yes." Ferna nodded, her eyes full of sympathy, "These ladies are really miserable."

"It's better than being dead." Ms. Bai Ye shrugged, "Let's not talk about that, what I'm more concerned about now is that the breath of living people you sensed, Ferna, shouldn't be them?"

"No." Ferna shook her head, "Those breaths are inside the mountain."

Inside the mountain... Zhang Jichuan thought for a while: "It seems that we need to find an entrance, or, I will open a door directly to the inside of the mountain."

"Let's look for it first." Ms. Bai Ye knew about "locking the cold window", and suggested, "Open the door directly into the mountain, what if you drive under someone's nose? If you really can't find the entrance, Mr. Siliang, please open the door again. .”

"Alright."

The three of them left the mourning hall silently, and searched aimlessly in the Heavenly Palace on the top of the mountain. During this period, they had to pay attention not to disturb the guards here, so the progress was very slow.

After a long time, the three still did not find the entrance.Ferna began to analyze: "If it were me, I would definitely build the entrance in Yi Yun's tomb, so that no one would dare to move it."

"You reminded me..." Zhang Jichuan suddenly said, "The tombs of emperors are rarely built on the ground, and most of them are underground palaces, or directly hollow out the mountains and arrange mausoleums inside.

"So, the entrance may be at the entrance of Yi Yun's mausoleum."

"That makes sense." Ms. Bai Ye nodded, and the three of them began to search for the entrance of Yi Yun's mausoleum.

After they had a purpose, they quickly found the entrance of Yi Yun's tomb in the luxurious cemetery like an amusement park.

But there was a boulder blocking the way, sealing the entrance tightly.

Strangely, there were no soldiers guarding the entrance.

"It's great, there are no soldiers guarding it." Fierna's voice was full of excitement, and she flapped her wings. "Just tell me how to open the door. I can cut this stone into any shape you want."

"Then you can cut a three-dimensional curved pattern of flowers." Zhang Jichuan said in an expectant tone.

Ferna: "..."

"Mr. Siliang, don't make trouble." Ms. Bai Ye rolled her eyes and said, "Fierna, don't listen to Mr. Siliang's nonsense, just cut out a simple holy snow mountain."

Ferna: "...do you have any misunderstandings about the four words "simple?"

Zhang Jichuan: "Didn't you say it can be in any shape?"

Ms. Bai Ye nodded, "That's right."

Ferna: "You two... You two will be beaten sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, Ferna didn't care about the two of them, and flew straight to the boulder, flapped her wings, and shot a feather at the boulder.

Her feathers are as sharp as a sword, and cutting stones is as easy as cutting tofu.but……

Ding!
The feather pierced the boulder, but it didn't scrape off even a little dust, it just stirred up a little spark.

The boulder stood still.

"Huh?" Ferna couldn't hold back, "Is this rock so hard?"

"Let's just say, why is there no guard on such an important place?" Zhang Jichuan and Ms. Bai Ye suddenly realized, "It turns out that this stone can stop extraordinary creatures!"

"I don't believe I can't deal with a broken rock." Fierna was angry, and released a soul force to attach to the feather, making the feather sharper, like a peerless sword.

but……

The feather shot out, but it still couldn't help the boulder.

"How is it possible?" Ferna's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Let me try it." Ms. Bai Ye stepped forward and said, "No matter how hard a boulder is, it can't block it perfectly, but as long as there is a small gap, my light escape technique can go in."

She turned into a ray of light and swept towards the edge where the boulder touched the ground.

boom!
A layer of light curtain appeared on the surface of the boulder, and the electric light and flint blocked Ms. Bai Ye's retreat, and directly shocked her back.

"What?" Ferna was stunned, "You can't even get in with your light escape technique, Ms. Bai?"

"It hurts me to death..." Ms. Bai Ye returned to her normal form in a bit of embarrassment, rubbing her head and said, "This stone is really difficult to deal with...Mr. Siliang, it seems that you can only open the door."

"Okay." Zhang Jichuan didn't talk nonsense, snapped his fingers, and transformed into a fat version.

After summoning the 'Death Banner' to resist the evil consciousness of 'Cong Yunya', Zhang Jichuan bypassed the huge stone at the entrance and launched the 'Locking Cold Window'.

A non-existent door appeared in front of him...

"Go in quickly, so as not to be discovered by the guards." Zhang Jichuan said, and after finishing speaking, he put Ferna on his shoulder, then grabbed Ms. Bai Ye's arm, and stepped into the non-existent door.

But just as he stepped into the non-existent door and was about to walk out from another door, suddenly, the light and shadow in front of him changed rapidly.

A powerful force of space emerged, directly modifying the direction of the non-existent door.

boom!
Caught off guard, Zhang Jichuan bumped his head against an extremely hard object, and was thrown out viciously...

The huge stone at the entrance of the mausoleum!

It is it that blocks doors that do not exist.

"This thing..."

Now, all three of them were surprised.

Ms. Bai Ye said in disbelief: "It can even block space-type abilities. What kind of stone is this?"

"Is this an extraordinary item? Or an ordinary stone that has been blessed with extraordinary abilities?" Ferna asked in confusion.

"I think, no matter what it is, we can't stay any longer..." Zhang Jichuan said in a deep voice, "If it is a supernatural item, I'm afraid we have already alarmed its host; even if it is just a stone blessed with supernatural power , and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not warn when someone tries to break in."

"It makes sense, let's go first, and we'll find a chance to explore here next time." Ms. Bai Ye said, and after finishing speaking, she directly activated the light escape technique, leading the two of them away as light.

At the entrance of the mausoleum, calm was restored for a moment, as if nothing had happened.But inside the mausoleum, it was a different scene.

bass! ——

Amidst the sound of rubbing stones, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe sat up from the coffin, opened his eyes, and a ray of light shot out from his pupils, dispelling the long-slumbering confusion and illuminating the dark interior of the mountain. One of the brightest.

In the next second, the interior of the mountain fell into darkness again.

In the moment when it was lit up, sarcophagi were faintly visible hanging on the mountain wall...

"Heh." Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, "Just now someone tried to cross the 'Broken Dragon Stone' and enter the mausoleum?
"This world is changing so fast, do people even dare to break into the emperor's mausoleum casually?
"Yi Yun, Yi Yun, you really failed to be the emperor. These people simply don't take you seriously. I feel ashamed for you for being the majestic king of a country..."

After a pause, the voice suddenly became very severe: "But since someone has found this place, it's time to act.

"Wake up, living dead!"

Bass, bass, bass! ——

The sound of friction between the coffin lid and the coffin body rang out one after another...
