He understood that the so-called request from the housekeeper was just another form of threat. No matter how nice the words were, as long as they dared not agree, the two sides would immediately break up.
If he really rejected Chao Butler, then they wouldn't even think about going back intact. Chao Butler let the strong man go first because he wanted to transport the treasure in advance to prevent them from perishing together.
At the same time, this can also guard the exit. If they don't follow, they will die in the tomb.
Anyway, they were here to rob the tombs, and they could just rely on the tomb robbers to kill a few people. The housekeeper was willing to be conceited and pretend to compliment them, but he was still afraid that they would jump over the wall in a hurry. If he could get things done calmly and calmly without any troops, why bother making a fuss? Lizi, face, no face.
Jianghu has never been about fighting and killing, but about human nature. Since you don't eat and drink as a penalty, there has been no good ending since ancient times!
Yue Guanchao figured out his position and already had the result in his mind. He pulled Yue Erpao and looked at Butler Chao: "May I ask what Butler Chao is referring to?"
"Mr. Yue, do you know the condition of my old boss?"
Ouch...done~
Chao Wenshun once told them about the illness of the old man. The old man of the Chao family had aged too much and was cursed by the Northern Dynasty. However, the Chao family did not take the initiative to raise the issue again, and it was difficult for him to ask. Seeing the Chao family mention this matter, he felt Deng panicked and secretly thought something was wrong.
"Of course I know. I mentioned this to my boss. What does the housekeeper mean?"
He handed over to the housekeeper and sighed: "This is exactly what the housekeeper asked for."
Yue Guanchao looked at him and considered every word: "As far as I know, the Chao family's illness has been controlled by the thousand-year-old elixir. Could it be that his condition has become serious again?"
He shook his head at the housekeeper: "Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can only be suppressed for a while. As long as the medicine is stopped, it will definitely relapse, and it will be more fierce than before, and human aging will also accelerate. In recent years, the master has needed more and more thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which shows that his The situation has been deteriorating, but only the timely replenishment of Ganoderma lucidum managed to save his life."
"What will happen if it continues to weaken?"
Yue Guanchao was eager to know the result.
He pointed to the city tower towards the housekeeper, with a mysterious and helpless expression on his face: "It's no different from those who were buried with him."
"Once other elders of the imperial family age and die, their skin will quickly dry up like wrinkled cloth, and then the oil, water, and fat in the body will be squeezed out of the skin. Under the penetration of water and oil, the outer skin will look like soaked vermicelli. It will quickly recover from being dry and swollen. As a result, A corpse wet with wax and oil has completely solidified, even if it has been buried for several years, it will still not rot or dry out!"
I wonder... once he is punished by the forbidden curse, wouldn't he become part of the corpse buried with him? Yue Guanchao carefully pondered the meaning of Chao Butler's words. At this point, he would not lie to others anymore.
From this point of view, the emperor of the Chao family was chosen by Ayin Zun to be buried in the underworld!
This statement made everyone feel numb. They had emptied the treasure just now. If the old emperor really had a spirit after his death, he wouldn't have scratched them alive!
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Yue Guanchao stopped talking nonsense. Since he had already been promoted to a high position, he thought it would be easy to get off the horse, so he might as well agree first.
When the housekeeper saw that he agreed to this matter, his uneasiness turned into a fake smile: "My boss has always been filial, and I thought that the person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie the bell. If you want the old lady to return to normal, you may have to find it from Haidong Shenghuang." Look for clues.”
"Housekeeper Chao, I don't know the whole story and I can't make up my mind. I only heard my boss mention the Chao family's ancestral precepts. I don't know what is going on. If you tell me everything, I might be able to find clues."
He originally wanted to ask why Old Master Chao had such weak hands and wanted to dig the tombs of his old employer's Northern Dynasty nobles. After thinking about it carefully, this kind of question was too harsh, so he simply thought about his words and tried to speak politely. After all, this matter concerned Old Master previous experience.
"It's a long story, so I'll cut it short for you."
The housekeeper motioned to Yue Guanchao to sit on the empty couch, looked at the crowd and said:
Before the destruction of the Bohai Kingdom, Emperor Sheng of Haidong held a banquet in the palace and asked Daoling, the ancestor of the Chao family, a question.
If the king dies, how can his son and the family survive? The emperor has served as a heavenly official and served as a member of the Bohai clan for many years, but Zuo has not survived. He is now waiting for the mausoleum of Bohai.
The meaning of this sentence is very straightforward:
After the death of this king, how will you and the Chao family survive? Chao Fengtianguan has served the Bohai royal family for many years. If Guozuo does not survive, how will you treat the tombs of the Bohai royal family.
Chaodaoling understands that Chaofeng Tianguan is so deeply bound to the Bohai royal family that it has almost become a parasitic relationship. The existence of the royal family is okay. Once the Bohai Kingdom is destroyed, those who control the tombs of the previous dynasty will become the biggest enemies of the Bohai royal family.
When King Bohai asked this question at this moment, it was clear that he was dissatisfied with Confucius Chaofeng. If the answer was not good, what awaited the Chao family would be early annihilation!
Emperor Haidong can force craftsmen and children to die for burial, and he doesn't care about hundreds of dead people in the tomb. If he wants to continue to survive, he must dispel Yin Zun's doubts - which means that they will never be able to steal the Bohai Sea. Royal tomb!
This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. If the Chao family only expresses their loyalty with empty words, Da Yinzun may not choose to believe them. Only by paying real chips can Haidong Shenghuang truly believe them and let go of his murderous intention.
In this way, Chaodaoling was pushed to the edge step by step by Haidong Shenghuang!
Finally, Da Yinzun no longer concealed his purpose and bluntly stated that the court had only two choices.
Either become the tombkeeper of the Bohai Northern Clan, or be ordered to be buried together with the clan, bringing all the secrets of the Bohai Imperial Tomb into the underground Longquan City.
Chaodaoling undoubtedly chose the former and became the tombkeepers of the Bohai Imperial Tomb for generations. However, this was conditional. They had to take the forbidden secret medicine that Da Yin Zun found from the Bei clan.
This secret medicine has no effect in normal times. Only when they enter the tomb of the Bohai royal family will the forbidden curse be triggered, causing people to age quickly and die.
The imperial family was facing life and death and had no right to refuse. Witnessed by the palace officials, the whole family drank the forbidden secret medicine.
After Da Yinzun's death, the imperial family completely sealed off the underground city of Shangjing in accordance with his lifetime decree. After that, the imperial family followed the ancestral motto of not digging the tombs of the Bohai Bei tribe and retreated to Changbai Mountain to protect the imperial mausoleum.
"It can be said that the first generation of the imperial family did not protect the imperial mausoleum because of the Bohai royal family. It was actually an illusion created by the current situation."
"As for the family members of the successive dynasties who have not made any changes since then, I am afraid they are also worried about the change and decline. At that time, the family was already a large family in Changbai Mountain. Wherever they moved, they would be paid attention to by the successive courts of the Northern Dynasties. They simply entered the dynasty as heavenly officials, surrendered to the new master, and gained power. .”
Yue Guanchao heard the meaning of the Chao family's words and looked at the old man: "Since Ai Yinzun forced the Chao family to become the tombkeeper, is there really a way to restrain the Bei clan's forbidden curse?"
He really put a question mark in his mind, how could Yin Zun, who was suspicious and cruel, leave these clues for the Chao family? If the Chao family digs into the tomb at all costs, his constraints on the Chao family will be dissipated in an instant.
He bowed his head to the housekeeper and thought, then nodded to them and said:
"Haidong Shenghuang was extremely conceited. He put the solution to the forbidden curse secret medicine in his coffin. Once the Chao family approached the coffin, it would only accelerate the poison. In order to find a way to solve it, the Chao family also found countless people who had nothing to do with the world. , wanted to pay a lot of money to beg him to be buried in the tomb, but when those people heard about the strange things in the tomb, they all refused and left, so to this day, the court still has not lifted the curse!"
"The Forbidden Curse that the old man fell upon was not due to robbing the tomb of the Northern Clan, but deliberately causing the forbidden poison to develop and prescribing the right medicine. However, we failed, and the old man can only take the medicine for the rest of his life!"
"Mr. Yue understands what my boss wants."
