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

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

Then, the chief commander of the Imperial Clan Court, Tan Tai Qing, 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 woke it up from its sleep.

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

Only the Empress Tan Tai Zijun 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 Zijun 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 not built until 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's, and not the faces of any other emperors of the Beichen Empire?

At this moment, Empress Tantai Zijun had a strong ambition: a hundred years from now, she wanted to have her own face engraved 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 late emperor's dream, the Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree to be sent to the imperial mausoleum and burned before the late emperor's coffin as a token of sincerity."

Then, she casually glanced at the people around her, pointed at a royal guard beside her, and said, "You, go in on behalf of the Empress Dowager and burn the imperial edict in front of the late emperor's mausoleum to reassure the late emperor."

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 Tantai Zijun imitated the other imperial secret guards and bowed to Ji Huangzhen 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 Taiqing 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 Tantai clan, and it is blessed by the ancestor Tantai Lin.

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

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

…

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 is a legitimate worshipper and who has 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 show the body above the neck" is one of them.

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

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

The Empress Tan Tai Zijun had been here last time, and had already been briefed on the "Rules of the Imperial Tomb Ghost 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 stretches out.

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