Chen Luo put away the orbs he had just condensed, and was about to strike while the iron was hot and update two chapters later when the voice of a mastiff suddenly came from outside the door.
"Young Master, someone is coming to the palace. Please come into the palace!"
When Chen Luo heard this, he felt refreshed. The matter of entering Emperor Wu's tomb was finally settled!
Very soon!
Following Hou An into the imperial study, he saw Ye Hengzheng talking and laughing with an old man.
The old man seemed to have white hair and beard, and he was in good spirits.
"Your Majesty, Duke An Guo has arrived." Hou An informed. Ye Heng stopped the conversation and said to Chen Luo with a smile: "Chen Aiqing, this is Mr. Sanshan, the elder of the Ye clan."
Mr. Sanshan?
Chen Luo had heard about the deeds of Mr. Sanshan. It was said that when Emperor Wu died, before Ye Heng ascended the throne, it was Mr. Sanshan who served as military minister and blocked the barbarian counterattack.
Later, Yan Baichuan was recommended as Minister of Literature, and only then did Yan Baichuan protect Ye Heng from ascending the throne.
But after Ye Heng ascended the throne, Mr. Sanshan resigned from his position and returned to the Ye clan.
Mr. Sanshan also stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Luo: "I have met An Guogong."
How could Chen Luo dare to trust him? From Yan Baichuan's perspective, this Mr. Sanshan should be of the same generation as his teacher. He quickly and respectfully replied: "Junior Chen Luo, I have met Mr. Sanshan."
"Okay, we are all our own people, there is no need to be so polite." Ye Heng waved his hand, and Hou An brought another chair and asked Chen Luo to sit down.
Mr. Sanshan sighed: "Your Majesty's news spread to the clan, causing shock in the clan."
"I never expected that a small Gu sect would actually seek to seize the fate of the country!"
"Therefore, the elders of the clan have decided that I will personally accompany Chen Zhuguo to Emperor Wu's tomb to investigate the traces of the Gu sect."
"In addition, when the Gu sect is wiped out, I, the Ye family, are also willing to contribute!"
Chen Luo was overjoyed when he heard this. To be honest, the Gu sect was not weak except for the lack of super-grade combat power. He was originally a little worried about the lack of strength at the offset, so he planned to ask the Zhenxuan Division to take action together. Now that he has Ye's help, then Not a big problem. The royal family, not to mention comparable to Confucius and Mencius, is at least better than the Fang family!
"The place where Emperor Wu's tomb is located is a void that was refined by the three half-saints of my Ye clan. It needs to be transferred to my Ye clan. Does Mr. An Guo need any preparations?" Mr. Sanshan asked.
Chen Luo thought for a moment and shook his head: "Junior can go at any time."
"Then without further ado, shall we set off now?" Mr. Sanshan said.
Chen Luo naturally had no objection: "Okay."
Mr. Sanshan stood up and said with a smile: "Then let's change places first."
"Hou An, lead the way to the Imperial Garden." Ye Heng quickly ordered.
After a while, Chen Luo followed Mr. Sanshan to the Imperial Garden. Mr. Sanshan first took out a golden token from his arms and handed it to Chen Luo. Then he took out a transparent crystal stone and placed it on it. In an open place.
"The Ye clan, like Confucius and Mencius, is located outside the sky." Mr. Sanshan explained with a smile, then raised his hand, and a stream of righteousness came out, hitting the crystal stone. The crystal stone suddenly burst open, and a stream of luck flowed out. Emitted from the spar, a white air mass was formed.
Then Mr. Sanshan gathered righteous energy on his fingertips and drew a rune in the air that Chen Luo had never seen before. The rune condensed into shape and floated into the white air mass. Soon the air mass turned into a white vortex portal.
"Dong An Guo, with the token, you can enter it and reach my Ye clan." Mr. Sanshan smiled, "I'm going one step ahead."
After saying that, Mr. Sanshan stepped directly into the white vortex. Chen Luo held the golden token and followed closely.
When Chen Luo entered the vortex, the white air mass immediately dissipated.
Filled with righteousness, Chen Luo felt like he was in a hall full of great Confucians even though he was not a Confucian disciple.
Chen Luo opened his eyes and found himself in a valley with green pines and cypresses, a wash of blue, and a gurgling mountain spring in the distance.
He raised his head and saw a deep darkness in the sky. Although the sun was not visible in front of him, his eyes were still full of light.
"Dong An Guo, you've been neglectful." Mr. Sanshan's words echoed behind Chen Luo.
sounded.
Chen Luo turned around quickly and asked in confusion: "Why did Mr. Sanshan say that?"
Mr. Sanshan waved his hand: "Originally, because of Duke An Guo's merits, he came to my Ye clan and was treated as a distinguished guest. The etiquette of three welcomes and three guards is indispensable."
"It's just that today is for Emperor Wu's business and it's not appropriate to publicize it, so it's really a bit of a neglect to send you here."
"It doesn't matter, business matters." Chen Luo smiled and waved his hand, "Just pretend I haven't been here before and try again next time."
Chen Luo's words also made Mr. Sanshan smile, and he said immediately: "The formation to the tomb of Emperor Wu is just ahead. Please come with me, Duke An."
"Senior, just call me by my name." Chen Luo said, and quickly followed Mr. Sanshan, curiously asking: "Is the sky above the sky beyond the sky?"
Mr. Sanshan nodded: "The land of the Ye clan is the Land of Splendidness. It is the semi-sage who refined the void with the heart of Confucianism to form a realm of his own. Since the Confucius was granted the title of Heaven, many saint ancestors have moved the Splendid Land to the outside of the sky. Protect heaven and earth.
"There is indeed an endless sky above the sky, but in fact it is still a long way away."
As he spoke, Mr. Sanshan suddenly pointed in a direction and said, "Wuji will be guarding that direction."
Chen Luo was stunned: Where is the teacher?
He quickly looked in the direction of Mr. Sanshan's finger. He ignited the Golden Crow Eyes and looked hard, but unfortunately it was still dark.
"Speaking of which, it seems that you haven't met Wuji since he took you in, right?" Mr. Sanshan seemed to have thought of something and asked with a smile.
Chen Luo was also helpless and nodded: "First, my master was in retreat, so he asked the fourth brother to take me in. Then he went north to Dongcang, but failed to return to the bamboo forest."
"When things are over in Dongcang, Master will be recruited by the Holy Church and go to the outer world..."
"It doesn't matter, Wuji is extremely satisfied with you. With your cultivation progress, if he doesn't come back, you can go directly to the outer world to find him!" Mr. Sanshan comforted him.
"I still hope that the teacher will return triumphantly." Chen Luo replied and suddenly looked at Mr. Sanshan, "The teacher seems to be very familiar with my master."
Chen Luo had noticed before that when Mr. Sanshan mentioned his teacher, he did not address him as Bamboo Saint like other people, but called him by his first name.
Mr. Sanshan kept walking, but a look of memory flashed on his face.
"Your Majesty said that they are all his own, and that's true. You started late, so you don't know."
"When I was young, the clan leader at that time invited your master to teach me principles, so I was lucky enough to learn the same art as your master. However, your master later traveled around and left, but I still remember this friendship in my heart."
"Ah? Master uncle?" Chen Luo was stunned and blurted out.
But Mr. Sanshan quickly shook his head, "I don't dare to call it that."
"Although I have studied with your master for a few days, what I practice now is not his old man's teachings, so I don't dare to call him uncle."
Chen Luo nodded. After Mr. Sanshan had this experience, it was not easy to call him uncle. Unlike Wen Yunsun, the title of uncle came because of his master, and it was more affectionate.
"Sigh... so many years have passed by. By the way, you went to Netherworld before. How is Sister Xuanyuan doing now?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mr. Sanshan was asking about Emperor Lin.
The great uncle’s maiden name: Xuanyuan Zhao.
But how could he...
Oh, by the way, this is the outer world, where we can talk about the underworld.
Chen Luo said quickly: "Master Bo is overwhelming the Netherworld. He is currently competing with the pseudo-Buddha for the Netherworld Avenue. When I return, I have already gained a huge advantage!"
Mr. Sanshan stroked his beard and sighed: "Sister Xuanyuan is still mighty!"
"Oh, it seems like yesterday when she rode Wuji to fight, but in the blink of an eye, the world has changed."
Chen Luo glanced at Mr. Sanshan.
Were you there?
Did you look at it from the perspective of lying on the ground?
With the uncle's temper, you must have been beaten to the ground, but my teacher is still fighting hard!
However, Chen Luo found that he seemed to have an opportunity to pry into the origin of his family's tradition.
"By the way, Mr. Sanshan, who is my ancestor?" Chen Luo
asked.
The lineage of the Bamboo Forest begins with the Bamboo Sage Yu Wuji, so who is the great master who taught both Yu Wuji and Lin Huang? After experiencing so many things, Chen Luo began to wonder if it was the mysterious Zixiao Palace where his cheap father lived.
Anyway, it’s just a casual conversation, so just ask if you can.
Mr. Sanshan glanced at Chen Luo: "Didn't your senior brother and senior sister mention it to you?"
Chen Luo shook his head.
My senior brothers and sisters are always accurate when they help in fights, and they are all very talkative when they help to solve puzzles.
It feels like I haven't studied hard.
Mr. Sanshan smiled and said, "Your lineage can be traced back to Meng Sheng."
"The person who truly opened up your line of independent holy path was a shocking figure from the previous dynasty."
"Do you know the allusion to Baixiu's salvation?"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment, and immediately remembered it.
When he had just left Dongcang City, he had participated in the Rouyuan poetry writing in Leya City, and had accepted the support arranged by Emperor Lin in the Rouyuan, and had managed to bloom the exotic flowers and obtain the true phoenix bow.
Linhuang's original title was "Xiangshan Crossing the Sea".
The one who looks like a mountain is Lu Zijing.
At the end of the previous dynasty, Mantian was granted the title of Cangtian. Mr. Xiangshan understood the way of "Heart is the Law of Heaven" and stepped through the gate of canonization. He then merged his heart with the way of heaven and bought Cangtian a hundred breaths of time, causing Mantian to fall short of his achievements. This move was recorded in history books. It is recorded as 'One Hundred Breaths to Save the World'.
Does my lineage come from Lu Zijing?
No wonder Linhuang asked this question.
"After Lu Zijing, this lineage has become somewhat depressed. Not only semi-sages, but also great scholars are rare."
"Until your master is born!"
"Your master has the same surname as you. He calls himself Shizhai and is known as Mr. Baisha."
Chen Luo opened his mouth wide: "Mr. Baisha?"
Could it be the Mr. Baisha I know?
Fuck...
Mighty!
Such a person first accepted Emperor Lin as his disciple, and then his own master.
It makes sense!
"Yeah, but your master was already very old when he accepted his disciples. I heard that he later ran away and was never heard from again."
"I don't know about life or death, so your senior brothers and sisters are a little scrupulous, so they don't want to talk more."
Chen Luo nodded.
The dispute between Zhulin and the Fang family for the Holy Way has found its root cause.
No wonder the senior brothers and sisters are so free to let themselves go, it turns out that their family belongs to this school!
The two of them were talking and had already traveled several miles and arrived in front of a formation.
"Okay, this is the teleportation formation leading to Emperor Wu's Tomb." Mr. Sanshan also got down to business, pointing to the formation and said: "There is a family guarding the tomb over there. Opening the tomb requires their cooperation. I'm here. Communicate with them.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Sanshan." Chen Luo nodded and stood in the teleportation array.
Mr. Sanshan also entered the formation, drew runes with his hands in the air, and entered the formation. Soon the formation shone with light, and then a beam of light emerged from the formation, wrapping Chen Luo and Mr. Sanshan.
Chen Luo felt light all over, and then he seemed to have entered a state of weightlessness. He didn't know how long it took, but finally his feet were firmly planted. Chen Luo opened his eyes again, only to find that there were several people standing in front of him and Mr. Sanshan.
One of the old men stepped forward, bowed and said, "Mr. Sanshan, the time for sacrifice has not come yet, why are you here?"
During the reign of Emperor Wu, there was also a die-hard Zhao family. After Emperor Wu's death, his family went to Emperor Wu's tomb to guard the tomb for Emperor Wu.
To a certain extent, they were closer to Emperor Wu than the Ye family.
At this time, when Mr. Sanshan was talking about Gu Sect with them, each of these people looked in disbelief.
"Mr. Sanshan, this matter is really unbelievable." An old man hung up his cane and said, "Since I have been guarding the mausoleum, I have not dared to slack off, for fear of damaging the spirit of Emperor Wu."
"How could the Gu sect plot against Emperor Wu?"
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
Mr. Sanshan shook his head: "It's not that you guys are ineffective in guarding the mausoleum, it's just that the Gu sect has many tricks. It's hard to guarantee that they didn't use some strange magic!"
"This trip is only to follow the clues of Gu Sect."
After a while, a middle-aged man walked up to Chen Luo, raised his hand and said, "Chen Zhuguo, I am Zhao Mengqiu, the head of the Zhao family who is guarding the tomb. Since the matter is serious, I will accompany Mr. Zhuguo and Sanshan into the tomb. Is it okay?"
Chen Luo said quickly: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you."
Mr. Sanshan nodded: "Then Mr. Zhao will do the hard work, and I will go to the tomb together!"
The tomb of Emperor Wu was carved out of a mountain into a mausoleum, so the entire tomb of Emperor Wu was surrounded by mountains. Following the Zhao family, they walked for hundreds of miles through the tomb of Emperor Wu and finally came to an entrance.
Zhao Mengqiu stepped forward, first took out a token and embedded it in a groove, then bit his finger and drew a rune on the door. The blood-stained rune slowly melted on the door, and the door rumbled open.
The moment the door opened, Chen Luo suddenly frowned. Mr. Sanshan noticed Chen Luo and quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Luo waved his hand.
The moment the door opened, he felt a sudden surge of sadness in his heart, but this emotion passed quickly.
"Chen Zhuguo, Mr. Sanshan, let's go in." The head of the Zhao family said, and then walked directly into the gate. Mr. Sanshan and Chen Luo quickly followed.
After walking through the long passage, we came to the first hall, which was surrounded by objects.
"Here are all treasures related to Emperor Wu, involving blood and breath. You two can check them out."
At this time, Chen Luo felt the sad emotion coming from him again, but this time he found that the source of the emotion was not his original heart, but the martial arts heart.
"Mr. Sanshan, please excuse me." Chen Luo said, and then he carefully sensed the reason for the strange martial arts spirit.
Mr. Sanshan nodded, and his body exuded a layer of white luck. The luck spread out and wrapped around the treasures. About half an hour later, Mr. Sanshan shook his head: "Everything is normal."
"Keep going in." Chen Luo said.
Zhao Mengqiu hesitated, nodded, and continued to lead Chen Luo and Mr. Sanshan deeper into the mausoleum!
As the three of them marched, they checked eight or nine tombs along the way, but found nothing. When Zhao Mengqiu was about to take them around to another tomb passage, Chen Luo suddenly stopped.
He pointed to a wall in front of him and said, "Check behind this wall."
"No!" Zhao Mengqiu suddenly stood in front of the wall and said, "Chen Zhuguo, Mr. Sanshan, behind this wall is where Emperor Wu's coffin is!"
"Don't be alarmed!"
Mr. Sanshan glanced at Chen Luo. Chen Luo covered his chest, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then let's go look elsewhere."
I don’t know how long it took, but after checking more than thirty tombs, Mr. Sanshan still found nothing.
Zhao Mengqiu said: "It seems that this matter has little to do with Emperor Wu. Why don't you two please come back?"
Chen Luo shook his head slightly, looked at the wall in front of him again, and said, "If there are no surrounding tombs, then we can only enter them."
Zhao Mengqiu frowned: "Chen Zhuguo, I don't care what your status is in the outside world, but the place where Emperor Wu sleeps must not be disturbed!"
"If you want to enter the core tomb, you have to kill all the members of my Zhao family!"
The scene became tense for a while.
Finally, Mr. Sanshan broke the silence and looked at Chen Luo: "Chen Luo, are you sure?"
Zhao Mengqiu's expression changed: "Yeshan, do you want to disturb Emperor Wu's peace?"
"Presumptuous!" Mr. Sanshan waved his hand, and the power of his family and country instantly suppressed Zhao Mengqiu.
"After all, I am Emperor Wu's cousin!"
"If I disturb you, I'll disturb you. How can he still come to me?"
Chen Luo chuckled lightly and then said: "90% sure!"
"Okay!" Mr. Sanshan nodded, stepped forward and punched the stone wall, but a layer of light of luck appeared on the stone wall, blocking all Mr. Sanshan's attacks.
"Yeshan, how can I allow you to destroy the place where Emperor Wu sleeps?" Zhao Mengqiu, who was suppressed, said, "I will definitely file a lawsuit against you after we come out of the tomb!"
"Mr. Sanshan, let me try." Chen Luo stepped forward and took a deep breath.
Then, he punched out suddenly. There was no power in the punch, but it carried a hint of meaning.
The meaning of Emperor Wu’s boxing inherited from Emperor Wu.
"This... this is..." Zhao Mengqiu naturally recognized the meaning of this punch and was speechless in surprise.
At the same time, Chen Luo's fist hit the stone wall, and the luck barrier that originally blocked Mr. Sanshan dissolved instantly. Then cracks appeared in the wall, and then it collapsed with a 'bang'.
However, the stone wall collapsed, revealing the scene inside. When the three people looked inside, they were all stunned.
Especially Zhao Mengqiu, whose face was filled with fear, panic, and disbelief.
In the tomb, the heavy coffin was placed on the jade platform, but at this time, the lid of the coffin was half open.
Chen Luo and Mr. Sanshan rushed in quickly, came to the coffin and looked inside, and they couldn't help being shocked.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhao Mengqiu, who was suppressed and unable to move, asked loudly.
At this time, Chen Luo and Mr. Sanshan looked at each other.
The matter is big.
Inside the coffin, there was nothing.
Emperor Wu's body is missing!
