Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 877 The Emperor's Secret

Xiao Tingchen walked towards the main house of Mingde Courtyard.

The peach blossom eyes are full of coolness.

He didn't ask Xichan to attack Qi State with him, but Xichan's little empress Nangong Nanai sent him a letter of credence, vowing to fight side by side with him and live and die together.

The little girl was not afraid of tigers when she was born as a calf, but now that she is defeated, she doesn't know how she feels...

Xiao Tingchen sat on the armchair under the eaves, lit a cigarette casually, and took two deep breaths.

Wu Song's face was not very good-looking, "Originally, Xichan restrained Qi's 20 troops for us. If they are defeated, what should we do when Duke Lu turns around to deal with us?"

At the turn of spring and summer, there were bursts of cicadas in the yard, which was very noisy.

Xiao Tingchen smoked fiercely.

The peach blossom eyes are fierce and violent, and the evil face is looming in the smoke, just like a wonderful brush outline.

After a long time, he curled his thin lips lightly, "The source of all this is Sikong Chen. If you want to solve the overall situation, you must figure out what he wants. Obviously, his goal is not power or power, otherwise the two He will not let the aristocratic family be in power in [-]."

"Could it be for women?" Wu Song probed.

Xiao Tingchen sneered, "I'm getting old, I'm afraid that thing can't be used anymore, how could it be for women?"

Having said that, from the corner of the eye, he glanced at the three inches below Wu Song's belly, and raised his eyebrows again, "It's not necessarily impossible..."

Wu Song: "..."

I really want to strangle this dog emperor to death!
Xiao Tingchen put out the cigarette and put the thin pipe into his arms, "Disassemble that underground tunnel as soon as possible, I have to go and see for myself in these two days."

Wu Song took the order and left.

After all, Xiao Tingchen didn't want to wait too long. As soon as the sky darkened, he couldn't wait to change into a black outfit, and planned to go through the secret passage himself.

Su Runmo and others accompanied him, and there were more than a dozen elite dark guards accompanying him.

The torches illuminated the ground, and after walking for about two hours, Su Runmo said, "The poisons and traps ahead have not been cleaned up. Are you sure you want to move forward?"

Xiao Tingchen didn't stop walking.

Everyone looked at each other and had to follow.

The secret passage is made of white marble, and various ancient and complicated paintings are engraved on the walls, just like the flying murals in the Dunhuang caves.

Xiao Tingchen walked in the front.

He didn't know what kind of mood he was in to explore the secrets of the secret passage. All the tricks, poisons and other traps seemed to be nothing in his eyes, and his steps were as steady as walking on the ground, as if he didn't pay attention to those things at all.

The terrain ahead gradually opened up.

They have gone deep into the ground, and the darkness is like thick ink extending. Even the torch can only faintly illuminate a small circle of light, as if the remaining firelight has been swallowed by the darkness.

There was silence in the ears, and the faint sound of water coming from the front made the place even more empty and strange.

The torches couldn't see ahead clearly.

Xiao Tingchen wanted to continue walking, but Su Runmo took his arm and shook his head at him.

Xiao Tingchen frowned.

He rubbed the tip of his nose and smelled the smell of water, earth, and lamp oil in the air.

Holding the torch, he walked forward against the base of the wall, and finally found a lampstand embedded in the cave wall.

The lampstands were lit one after another.

I don't know what kind of material the lamp oil is made of. The oil lamp emits a bluish hue, and the level of illumination is even stronger than that of the torch. It quickly illuminates the entire empty underground.

Only then did everyone see that this place is an underground cave with a width of one hundred feet.

In front of them is an underground lake.

The water in the lake is dark, and even if you approach the water with a lampstand, you still can't see what's under the water.

The hidden guards squatted by the lake, holding lampstands and trying their best to reach the surface of the water.

They stared wide-eyed, trying to look towards the bottom of the water...

Su Runmo focused on the relief paintings on the walls.

The carving is simple and sophisticated, exuding an inexplicable evil spirit...

Xiao Tingchen walked up to him, "I don't want to think about how to cross the river, but study the murals... If you like it, ask someone to dig it down and take it back to study slowly, wouldn't it be enough?"

"like?"

Su Runmo's tone was low.

He has finished studying the contents of the mural.

He always loves to laugh, whether he is angry or sad, he always has a warm smile on his face.

But now, his eyes are full of coldness, and even his voice has changed a bit: "The emperor is also a person who loves fragrance, and he should have read all the ancient books related to fragrance medicine."

"nature."

Su Runmo paused every word: "The emperor must know about this record about the fragrance of returning to the soul."

Xiao Tingchen looked at the mural and raised his eyebrows.

All Xiang Dao masters have more or less read the records of the soul-returning incense.

It is said that it is a kind of fragrant medicine that can bring people back to life and live forever.

But the Tao of Fragrance is ethereal and eternal life is illusory, this kind of record is nothing more than a leisurely reading, who would take it seriously?

Su Runmo pointed to the first mural on the wall, "It seems to be conquering and slaughtering aliens, but they dismantled the captives' skin and bones."

"They plan to use human skin and bones to make sails." Xiao Tingchen interpreted the second mural.

"In the third picture, the towering trees were cut down to the ground, and the huge ship was half built." Su Runmo turned to the next picture, "Countless girls were driven into the flames, with grim and painful expressions... It seems that it is I plan to use these girls to refine corpse oil."

Such a vicious and cruel method!

Xiao Tingchen narrowed his eyes, "Paint the body of the ship with the dead body oil of virgins, put seven or forty-nine children on board, and ask them to worship the Chenxiang Volcano. After crossing the weak water, ninety-nine and 49 mermaids clear the way to reach Juku State. Get the precious soul-returning incense... These are all the contents recorded in the mural."

Su Runmo stood with his hands behind his back, ""Internal Biography" says: There is a soul-returning tree in Jukuzhou, Xihai, which is shaped like maple and cypress. It is like lacquer, and it is made of incense. Anyone who has died can be smoked and revived, so it is called "returning soul". According to other historical records, the fragrance of returning soul can bring people back to life, and can make people live forever...

"However, there is no word left in history about how to reach Juku State. The words Juku State are marked at the end of these murals. Presumably, if you want to reach that island to obtain the soul-returning incense, you must follow the steps on the murals to prepare. "

Xiao Tingchen sneered, "Let's not talk about other things, just talking about mermaids, they are creatures that exist in mythology, how could they appear in the human world? It can be seen that the people who carved these murals are really boring."

Su Runmo shook his head, "The murals are simple and delicate, and they are definitely the master's handicrafts. He took great pains to build such an underground tunnel and carved the murals, which shows that he is extremely obsessed with the art of longevity."

While the two were discussing, Mo Shisan suddenly approached nervously, "Did you hear anything?"

Su Runmo glanced at him, "What's the sound?"

Mo Shisan groaned, "Like... a singing voice? It's a strange, ethereal singing voice... But when I listen carefully, it doesn't sound like a human voice..."
