Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1642: Strange Talk on Rules (First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

When the Empress Tan Tai Zijun wants to take action, the efficiency of the entire palace can reach an unusually high speed.

Ten minutes later, Ji Huangzhen, a senior female official beside Empress Dowager Li Fengen, left the palace in stealth with a team of royal secret guards wearing second-generation mechas.

Everyone is in invisible mode and no one knows who is who.

This is also the norm in the royal family.

Most of the royal family's missions are issued on a temporary basis, and the personnel are randomly assembled. The purpose is that even if there is a traitor, the news cannot be passed on too early so that people outside can be prepared.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was now disguised as a royal secret guard, following the senior female official Ji Huangzhen.

Ji Huangzhen said to the group of secret guards: "Your Majesty is about to send troops. The Empress Dowager has been unable to sleep at night these past few days. Whenever she closes her eyes, she has nightmares."

"Yesterday, the late emperor came to me in a dream and said he had something to say to the Empress Dowager."

"The Empress Dowager was sick when she woke up this morning. She specifically asked me to go to the Imperial Mausoleum, burn incense for the late Emperor, and then tell His Majesty whether it would be auspicious or not to send troops."

That being said, they have a lot to do.

But this was all Ji Huangzhen's business. Those royal guards who followed her were there to protect her.

The royal guards were all in high spirits.

And not only they are going, but also the clan leader of the clan affairs bureau, Tan Tai Qing, will go with them.

Because the key to the imperial tomb is in his hands.

……

The imperial tomb of the Tantai clan is located in a continuous mountain range outside the imperial capital of Beichen Star.

This mountain was named "Xuyuan Sunset" by the founding emperor.

Because there is a huge abyss deep in the mountain.

Every day at sunset, when the last ray of sunlight shines through, the imperial tomb appears.

When the Empress Tan Tai Zijun thought of this name, she felt very complicated.

She now knew that "Xuyuan" was not a name given by her ancestor Tan Tai Lin, but a real place name.

They used second-generation mechas as a means of transportation, which was faster than ordinary aircraft.

After driving at full speed, it only took five minutes to arrive at the imperial tomb in the suburbs.

On the surface, this is just a hill made of gray rocks.

But as long as you get closer, from a given angle, at the best moment of the changing light and shadow, a large building structure will slowly emerge from the hills, as if it had descended from the dark starry sky.

Seen from above, the entire imperial mausoleum looks like a door open to the void.

Huge and deep, with a diameter of more than tens of kilometers.

At the top of the imperial mausoleum is a flat four-sided sky with tens of thousands of thin chains hanging from the edge.

Each chain penetrates deep into the earth's crust of the mountain, as if worried that the entire imperial mausoleum would ascend to heaven.

Each side of the chain is carved with crooked lines, like some ancient language, or some abstract symbols, with unknown meanings, eroded by the years, and whispering in the wind and sand.

Right in front of the imperial mausoleum stands a giant sword, which is the sword monument.

Engraved on it are countless faces of the founding emperor Tan Tai Lin.

They are obviously all of him, but upon closer inspection, none of them are the same.

Some of them are extremely beautiful, some are ordinary, and some are even ugly.

Only the face in the middle with a prominent hooked nose is the most familiar to everyone.

This is also the facial expression that appears in all formal occasions and textbooks of the Beichen Empire.

All the people of the Beichen Empire are familiar with this face.

On the sword stele, in the middle of all the faces of Tan Tai Lin, there is a huge black eye carved.

It was unknown what material the eyes were made of. They were so dark and bottomless, as if they were a completely non-existent space, like a black hole. Anything that approached would be swallowed up instantly.

And if anyone dares to stare into this black eye for a long time, they will see in the depths of the darkness a man with an immortal look, a flowing white robe, and three strands of beard, who seems to be twirling his beard and smiling.

Behind the sword monument, the tall imperial mausoleum stands tall, with no end in sight.

There is no connection to the star network here, and the radar data here is extremely chaotic. Even the time seems to be slightly misaligned in the gravitational waves that are looming around the imperial tomb.

Some people can even occasionally see what happens a few seconds later.

It's like a big quantum mechanics mausoleum.

It's even weirder than the magnetic field in the Strange Beast Forest.

Empress Tan Tai Zijun looked at the imperial mausoleum silently. Her mood was completely different from when she first came here.

At that time, she was so nervous that she didn't even have the energy to watch what was happening here.

When she came here again, she realized that there were many places she had missed before.

For example, on the sword monument, in the black eyes surrounded by all the faces of Tan Tai Lin, there was a fleeting figure of a man.

What is it?
Is this also the face of their Tan Tai clan's ancestor Tan Tai Lin?

However, this thought only flashed through her mind and then disappeared.

She was only thinking about the mark of inheritance now. As long as she had the mark of inheritance, the powerful will deep under the palace could be used by her!

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun suppressed her excitement and stood motionless beside Ji Huangzhen.

Ji Huangzhen was familiar with these rituals.

She had people offer sacrifices at the gate of the imperial mausoleum, which were rare animals from the exotic beast forest.

Soon, a black mist emerged from the imperial tomb and swept towards the animals.

Unfortunately, no one else can see this black fog, including the Empress Tan Tai Zijun.

They only discovered that not long after, the offerings on the altar disappeared.

Ji Huangzhen said happily: "The ancestors have accepted our sacrifices, and now we can open the tomb."

Then, Tan Taiqing, the chief commander of the Imperial Clan Court, stepped forward and opened the imperial mausoleum with the secret key of the Clan Court.

The entrance to the imperial mausoleum is right under the sword monument.

When the entrance opened, the black eyes in the center of the sword monument seemed to lower their eyelids, as if watching who opened the door and awakened its sleep.

All of this cannot be seen by the people standing at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.

Only the Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun suddenly felt that someone was spying on her and subconsciously looked around.

The mountains and forests were silent, the clouds were white and the sky was dark, and there were no outsiders present.

Where does the peeping come from?

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun calmed down and thought that she was being too suspicious.

She couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Because the more she knew, the more respect she had for her ancestors!
You should know that this imperial mausoleum was built ten thousand years ago under the supervision of our ancestor Tan Tai Lin.

Before the ancestor was buried in this imperial mausoleum, all those buried there were the descendants of Tan Tai Lin.

According to the information she had read, this sword monument was built one thousand years after the founding of the country and after the death of Tan Tai Lin.

And it was established in accordance with Tan Tai Lin's will.

Otherwise, why are all the faces on them Tan Tai Lin, and not the faces of any other emperors of the Beichen Empire?

At this moment, the Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun had a strong ambition. A hundred years later, she wanted to engrave her own face on this sword monument...

Of course, not now, she is not qualified yet.

She stood beside Ji Huangzhen and coughed lightly.

Now that the sword monument is open, she can go in.

However, she didn't want anyone else to go in.

She didn't want to be seen by others accepting the inheritance mark.

Ji Huangzhen understood and said solemnly: "In accordance with the omen from the late emperor's dream, the empress dowager has an imperial decree to be sent to the imperial mausoleum and burned in front of the late emperor's coffin to show her sincerity."

Then, she looked at the people around her nonchalantly, pointed at a royal guard beside her, and said, "You, go in and burn the edict in front of the late emperor's mausoleum on behalf of the empress dowager, so that the late emperor can rest assured."

This royal secret guard was, of course, the Empress Tan Tai Zijun in disguise.

They are all wearing full-body second-generation mechas and fully enclosed helmets, without any disguise modifications.

Of course, the sound needs to use the mecha's own electronic synthesized sound, otherwise it will be exposed.

Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun imitated the other imperial secret guards and bowed to Ji Huang Zhen and said, "Yes, Lady Ji."

As she spoke, she took the imperial edict from Empress Dowager Li Fengen from Ji Huangzhen with both hands, held it in her hands, and walked step by step into the entrance under the sword monument.

After she went in, Ji Huangzhen signaled Tan Tai Qing to quietly close the door of the sword monument.

This way, no matter what happens inside, no one outside can see it.

As for whether Tan Tai Zijun would encounter any danger in there, she was absolutely relieved.

Because this is the imperial tomb of the Tan Tai clan, and it is blessed by the ancestor Tan Tai Lin.

As long as you are of the Tantai clan's bloodline, there will be no danger inside.

However, if someone does not have the bloodline of the Tan Tai clan and runs in for no reason, no one can guarantee whether there will be any danger or not.

……

Empress Tan Tai Zijun was walking on the path inside the imperial mausoleum, holding the imperial edict from Empress Dowager Li Fengen.

Her full-face helmet had been removed.

Because in this corridor, anyone entering must expose the part above the neck.

This corridor is said to perform identity authentication functions.

It is possible to detect who are the legitimate worshippers and who are those with ulterior motives.

It is said that those who did not expose the part above the neck did not come out alive.

If there are any strange rules in the imperial mausoleum, this "must expose the body part above the neck" is one of them.

Of course, no one in the Tantai royal family thought so.

In their hearts, it was the natural wisdom of their ancestor Tan Tai Lin that he built a corridor with such a miraculous function to distinguish between loyalty and treachery and eliminate those who were dangerous to the imperial mausoleum.

The Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun had come in last time, and had already been educated on the "Rules of the Imperial Mausoleum's Strange Stories".

So as soon as she entered the corridor and heard the door behind her close, she put away the fully enclosed helmet of the second-generation mecha, revealing the part above her neck.

After entering, the place was exactly the same as the last time I came in to bury Tan Tai Hongyuan.

A long corridor extends.

On the walls on both sides, from top to bottom, there were unknown wild flowers hanging in the shape of vines, hanging above the corridor, quietly blooming in the darkness, emitting pearl-like light, illuminating the pale road ahead.

There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon.
