This scene is a bit creepy.
In Chu Mengli's view, Luo Yi was still beside her. She was just a pair of naked eyes, so naturally she couldn't tell too many clues.
The corpse is pulling Chu Mengli towards the underground palace!
Luo Yi followed behind him silently, the prince's sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed, and he cut off the head of the corpse with one sword stroke!
Although these corpses are strange, they are not very lethal. Compared with the tomb-guarding corpses in the Ten Thousand Bones Necronomicon Tower, they are not even a bit worse.
This time, Chu Mengli was shocked.
After all, from her perspective, Luo Yi beside her was still chatting with her a second ago.
The next second, his head was suddenly cut off with a sword.
Chu Mengli froze on the spot for two or three seconds.
At this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her aside.
"Shh, don't make a sound."
This person is naturally Luo Yi.
Chu Mengli had already mobilized the energy in her body and was about to inflict a heavy blow on the man behind her. But when she heard his voice, the flow of energy in Chu Mengli's body suddenly stopped for a moment.
Chu Mengli turned around suddenly and her eyes widened instantly.
His eyes were full of shock!
She subconsciously looked at the corpse just now. The corpse that originally looked like Luo Yi showed its true appearance after being beheaded by Luo Yi with a sword.
Chu Mengli's pupils were shocked. Until now, she still didn't know what happened!
Luo Yi continued: "Don't get excited yet, just follow me."
Chu Mengli, however, shook off Luo Yi's hand and looked wary.
"who are you?!"
She began to come to her senses. The Luo Yi who just pulled her and insisted on going to the underground palace was probably someone else pretending to be him!
Then who can be sure that Luo Yi is real in front of him? !
Luo Yi had obviously considered this issue, and he said unhurriedly: "Your bellyband is white, and there are several flowers embroidered on it. If I read it correctly, it should be a pair of phoenixes wearing peonies."
Chu Mengli was stunned, and Luo Yi said again like she was counting treasures: "In addition, there is..."
Chu Mengli quickly stopped Luo Yi, "Okay, okay, you..."
There was a hint of blush on Chu Mengli's face. These were all things Luo Yi saw at the bottom of the river a few days ago, so they couldn't be faked.
Luo Yi also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, but this kind of thing was really the best way to prove his identity.
Luo Yi said: "Let's go, this is not the place to talk. This imperial mausoleum is a bit weird."
Chu Mengli turned her head and glanced at the corpse on the ground again, with a complicated expression.
The scene just now more or less left a shadow on her.
Especially when Luo Yi's head rolled to the ground, although it was later discovered that it was a fake, it still made her a little uneasy.
Luo Yi said softly: "Don't worry, I may have found a way out."
The two left quietly.
Luo Yi was very alert along the way. He didn't even dare to remove the obsidian eyes. He explored all the way and finally approached the divine library.
Chu Mengli followed Luo Yi closely, but looking at her expression, it was obvious that she was holding back a lot of questions.
Luo Yi suddenly said: "Tell me what happened just now,"
Chu Mengli frowned and said truthfully: "Just now outside the stele pavilion, you went there alone to read the inscription, and then came back soon."
"I was a little curious at the time as to why I finished reading it so quickly, but when I asked you, you didn't say anything."
"After you came back, you just told me that you found the exit, which is in the underground palace, and then you pulled me all the way to the underground palace."
"You will know everything that happens next."
Luo Yi pondered for a moment and seemed to have figured out the key points.
"I see, my experience is similar to yours."
"I was going to the stele pavilion and after reading the inscription, I noticed something was wrong with you standing where you were."
"Later, I used secret techniques to explore your identity and discovered the truth, just like what you just saw."
"The corpses in this imperial mausoleum are alive, and...can disguise themselves as the people around us. They are difficult to detect with only the naked eye."
Chu Mengli only felt that her hands and feet were cold, and the body... was it alive?
These words, no matter what, seem impossible to put together, right?
But the scene just now is still vivid in my mind!
She couldn't help but ask: "Then...how can we identify these corpses?"
Luo Yi is obviously thinking about this issue too. He has obsidian eyes and can see through the disguises of these corpses at any time.
But Chu Mengli's naked eyes can easily be confused.
Luo Yi thought about it carefully and said: "Although these corpses can disguise themselves, they don't seem to have particularly high intelligence. Normal communication may be possible, but if it goes deeper, it will be difficult."
"Well, let's use 'Emperor's Tomb of Life' as a secret code to verify his identity under special circumstances."
Chu Mengli was slightly stunned at this moment, and then a blush suddenly flashed across her face, and she even glared at Luo Yi!
Because while Luo Yi was saying this, a piece of cloth appeared in his hand and he quietly handed it to Chu Mengli with a few words written on it.
"The walls have ears. I'm not sure if there are any 'people' around here observing us, so the real code is 'Phoenix piercing peonies'!"
And the phoenix piercing the peony is the pattern on Chu Mengli’s bellyband!
No wonder Chu Mengli would glare at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi smiled to himself and looked forward, the divine library had arrived!
Luo Yi whispered: "I found something in the inscription before. In fact, I am not completely sure, but..."
"For now, it's worth a try!"
Luo Yi added: "Follow me closely. If you get separated or feel something is wrong, don't forget the code."
Chu Mengli nodded. The door of this divine treasury was extremely high. If Luo Yi guessed correctly, this divine treasury should be built in the mountain.
Even the imperial mausoleum, various buildings, and even the underground palace behind may be in the mountain!
That corpse ancient emperor hollowed out the entire mountain!
The door to the divine treasury was several feet high, but Luo Yi did not move rashly.
Because under the gaze of Obsidian Dharma Eyes, this stone door is not that simple!
Chu Mengli may not be able to see it, but Luo Yi can clearly see that there are many corpses on this stone door, or in this stone door!
They are all tangled together, and they are even squirming!
There is a huge stone gate with only two handprints printed on it, one black and one white.
Obviously, if you want to open this stone door, you must press your hands on the black and white handprints!
If not...
Luo Yi looked at the corpses entangled and squirming on the stone door, and he had some guesses in his mind.
If the black and white handprint cannot be pressed exactly, then it is very likely that the person who opens the door will eventually become the door.
Integrate into this stone gate and become the next corpse.
Luo Yi breathed out lightly, printed his hands on the black and white handprints, and exerted force so hard that the whole stone gate began to vibrate.
The corpses in the stone gate began to struggle violently, and Luo Yi could even hear some roars!
But this did not disturb Luo Yi's state of mind. He kept exerting force, and the stone door was finally pushed open by him!
A lot of dust fell from above, and Luo Yi completely pushed open the stone door that had been covered in dust for who knows how long.
A ray of light actually shone out from the divine vault, even illuminating Luo Yi and Chu Mengli!
Chu Mengli turned her head slightly and couldn't help but use her palms to block her sight. Luo Yi's expression changed slightly after seeing the scene in the divine library.
This dazzling light has not disappeared, as if the entire divine library has always been filled with such light.
Chu Mengli had gradually adapted to this light. She blinked and looked inside the divine vault.
This glance immediately froze her on the spot.
Because the entire divine treasury was almost completely filled with all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and even... Yuanling coins!
It's just that they are all low-grade Yuanling coins, but they are piled up into a hill! !
Look at that, there are at least a million low-grade Yuanling coins!
Luo Yi and Chu Mengli stepped into it, but Luo Yi felt a little strange.
According to what was stated in the inscription, this Zhigu Kingdom had only existed for a short period of time. How could the Zhigu Emperor be so wealthy?
The low-grade Yuanling coins here cost at least two to three million!
Even if converted into high-grade Yuanling coins, there are still two to three thousand coins! !
Even Luo Yi felt a little shocked by this number!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the Jingtian Pavilion of the Tyrant Dynasty, even Jing Haoran will need some time to collect these high-grade Yuanling coins!
But here, there are even mountains of Yuanling coins, not to mention, there are many worldly treasures!
Luo Yi suddenly had an idea. Could this ancient corpse emperor have emptied the entire treasury and buried him with him?
It seems...there is really such a possibility!
After all, this Zhigu Kingdom is only a dynasty of one generation. It seems that the kingdom has been discontinued since Emperor Zhigu.
Then this divine treasury is most likely... the national treasury!
Chu Mengli said in disbelief: "Are these all the burial objects of that ancient corpse emperor?"
Luo Yi smiled and said: "If I guess correctly, the corpse ancient emperor probably moved the entire treasury here."
Chu Mengli felt a little shocked, but Luo Yi was a little curious at this time. What did the mysterious man who carved the inscription want to do by letting them come to this divine vault?
Could it be that there is a secret exit hidden in this divine vault?
Or... is there something among the treasures in this treasury that can take me out?
Luo Yi was pacing in the divine treasury. Chu Mengli did not dare to touch the things here at will, and was afraid of getting separated from Luo Yi, so she simply paced behind him.
At this moment, Chu Mengli suddenly said: "Luo Yi! Look!"
Luo Yi followed Chu Mengli's line of sight and saw a cage hanging above their heads! !
And... there seems to be someone in this cage!
Luo Yi frowned slightly, and he pulled Chu Mengli behind him, "I'll go up and take a look, but you stay here and don't leave my sight."
After the last lesson, Luo Yi has learned to be smarter. He has the Obsidian Dharma Eye by his side. As long as Chu Mengli does not leave his sight, the situation like the last time will not happen again.
Chu Mengli nodded and couldn't help but warn: "Be careful!"
Luo Yi also nodded. He vaguely felt that the people in this cage...
Maybe he is the one who can unlock all the secrets!
Luo Yi's figure moved around, and within a moment he had arrived in front of the hanging cage!
There is indeed a person in this cage, but... he has already turned into a withered skeleton.
But this pair of boney hands still holds a piece of jade.
It is a piece of jade that has not yet been polished into a jade pendant. It looks relatively rough.
But since this man was still holding this piece of jade before he died, he must not be a mortal being.
Luo Yi said: "Senior, I'm offended."
With that said, Luo Yi reached out and took off the jade stone held by the withered bones, and then jumped down.
Chu Mengli hurried over and asked, "How are you doing?"
Luo Yi said: "There is indeed a person in that cage, but he has turned into a withered skeleton."
"He's holding this in his hand."
With that said, Luo Yi took out the goose egg-like jade in his hand.
"This jade has not been polished and looks very rough. I am going to infuse a little bit of energy into it. You hide behind me first."
Luo Yi vaguely felt that this piece of jade was definitely not simple, otherwise the man above would not have been able to hold it tightly in his hand until his death!
He even observed carefully with his obsidian eyes, but found nothing.
Even under the observation of the obsidian Dharma Eye, it turned out to be just an ordinary piece of jade!
Luo Yi protected Chu Mengli. Since no matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary piece of jade. Since there are no clues, it means that the mule is a horse, and it is pulled out to run around.
Ordinary jade can never withstand the infusion of Yuanli. The moment Yuanli is infused, it will immediately break into pieces.
Luo Yi, this is also a big gamble.
Just bet that this piece of jade is definitely not a mortal thing!
He just hoped that this thing wasn't some kind of key.
Otherwise, you will really be digging a hole for yourself!
Luo Yi took a deep breath, and the energy in his body was instantly poured into it, but the next scene made Luo Yi's eyelids twitch wildly.
Because this piece of jade...is really broken!
And it was completely broken.
Luo Yi's heart also broke.
Chu Mengli was also stunned. Didn't Luo Yi just say that this thing is extraordinary?
How...why...
Just cracked?
At this moment, all these broken jade stones turned into powder!
The next moment, Luo Yi suddenly grabbed Chu Mengli's hand, and the two of them retreated instantly!
Because in this treasury, a third person appeared!
No, to be precise, this person is not a human being.
Luo Yi looked at the spirit in front of him with a solemn expression. He seemed to have run out of the jade!
This man looked like a middle-aged man, but he was floating in the air like a candle in the wind.
The man slowly opened his eyes, first looked around, and then looked at Luo Yi and Chu Mengli.
"In future generations, will someone finally come here..."
Luo Yi frowned, "Senior, who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Didn't you come to this treasury after reading the inscription?"
Luo Yi's expression changed, "Are you the one who carved the inscription?!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing.
Luo Yi raised his head and glanced at the cage, as if he wanted to understand something, and his expression became a little complicated.
"Senior, am I... too late?"
The middle-aged man sighed with pretense of regret, but there was always a smile on his face.
"It's late, it's late, it's probably late..."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man suddenly pinched his fingers with his right hand, as if he was calculating something in his mind, and then continued: "Seven hundred and sixty-four years, you are too late."
Luo Yi understood one thing at that moment.
The words on the stone tablet were left with blood.
Not only is it a way for the intruder to survive, but it is also... a way for this senior to survive.
As long as someone can see the hidden words on that stone tablet and come to this divine treasury, they can free the people who were trapped in this cage!
However, it is obvious that this senior could not wait for that person until his death.
And Luo Yi seems to be the first person to enter this divine vault in a hundred years...
