Chapter 266 Past and Present Life
The corridor was dimly lit and there were many forks in the road. Qi Gu left a little trace of cinnabar at each intersection as a mark. However, after walking all the way according to his instinct, he did not see any trace of cinnabar.
There was no turning back.
This was extremely wrong for Qi Gu, who had extremely bad luck.
I was just walking aimlessly, but I found the only right path among countless routes.
What's even more bizarre is that after walking for more than ten minutes, I didn't even encounter a single frightened zombie. I could only hear the roars and scratching sounds of the frightened zombies.
"We should still be in the outer corridor and need to enter another door to see the frightened corpse." Lin Hanzhi speculated.
The two of them were almost running in the corridor.
They need to resolve the problem here as soon as possible so that they can go out and help.
If we can't solve the problem here, it will be useless even if we kill all the evil spirits outside.
There was another fork in the road. Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi subconsciously took a step towards the narrower road on the left.
Looking at each other, they saw a hint of inquiry in each other's eyes, so they said in unison: "Intuition."
Qi Gu seemed to be thinking about something.
After walking through a long corridor, we came to a spacious tomb chamber. There was no gorgeous decoration in the tomb chamber, except that the coffin was slightly larger than an ordinary coffin, but the material was just ordinary.
The two men stopped in front of the coffin. As if by coincidence, the half of the heart-shaped pendants worn on their left and right wrists collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
"What's buried here..."
"The director of the Sitianjian?"
Some viewers have already arrived at the safe zone address given by the Alien Management Bureau. At this moment, they are gathered in groups, watching the sixth episode of Exploring Mystery being played on the big screen in the safe zone, with nervous expressions on their faces.
[I'm in the safe zone. There are many other people here. It can be seen that the Alien Management Bureau has really made preparations a long time ago. All the facilities here are complete and they are really thoughtful.]
【Guguzhizhi, come on! ! ! 】
[This coffin is so big, is it a double burial coffin? 】
[Speaking of which, who built such a large underwater area? It seems like it must have cost a lot of money.]
[Is this not an imperial tomb?] I feel like no one else except the emperor has this talent.]
[Human sacrifice?] Are those scratching sounds and roars the resentment of the martyrs? 】
[Speaking of this, I thought of a certain emperor in history who was very good at spending money...]
[The money-spending emperor, right?] Moreover, he did not leave any valuable treasures to future generations, and to this day no one knows where he spent his private treasury! 】
[It's rare that I can empathize with the emperor. I don't know where my salary is spent for any reason TT]
[It feels like Guguzhizhi is very familiar with this place. There are so many forks in the road, like a maze, but they managed to walk out of it so smoothly. Is this right? Is this still my Gugu possessed by the god of bad luck? 】
[Also, the seal at the entrance was rewritten in no time. I thought it was because Gugu was too strong.]
Is it time to open the coffin next? 】
[Under normal circumstances, I would be a little scared at this time, but now that evil spirits have descended upon the world and it’s the end of the world, I decided to be tough.]
[If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you pull your head back, you'll get a knife too, right?]
Qi Gu stepped forward quickly, exchanged a glance with Lin Hanzhi, and without any hesitation, he placed his palm on the heavy coffin lid and pushed it forward.
The coffin was slowly cut open - the heavy sound was very clear in the dark tomb. A minute later, Qi Gu could see clearly the situation inside the coffin.
There were actually two corpses that had turned into bones. One of them was wearing a rotten black dragon robe, and the other was wearing the uniform of a fifth-rank official.
This turned out to be the tomb where the emperor and his ministers were buried together.
The audience may need time to speculate, but Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi knew the previous situation and blurted out: "It was Emperor Qian and the Supervisor."
"This is the place that was built at great expense after consultation between the Supervisor and the Emperor. It is a place to trap the countless rebellious corpses. It consumed countless iron ores and was blessed by the Supervisor's magic. That's why it has remained immortal for thousands of years and has been preserved to this day." Lin Hanzhi explained, but his eyes fell on the intersection of the Supervisor's and the Emperor's hand bones.
【? ? ? So the Emperor and the Supervisor spent so much money just to save the world! 】
[Ah... and because of this, I have been misunderstood by the world for a thousand years]
[Shi Tongnu, who already supports this couple, is going crazy! 】
[Joint burial!] Joint burial! 】
[My unfortunate CP who is compassionate to the world but has been misunderstood for a thousand years! 】
The hand bones of both people had already turned into bones, overlapping each other, indistinguishable from each other.
And between the hand bones, there is a touch of lustrous color that makes people feel inexplicably familiar.
Lin Hanzhi gently picked out the color with the bone blade, and his sight became sharp in an instant.
It was a heart-shaped pendant made of emerald jade. It had been held together by Emperor Qianlong and the Supervisor for a thousand years, making a promise of love.
More importantly... it is exactly the same as the heart-shaped pendant that the ghost official gave to Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi. Not only is the jade quality extremely similar, even the carvings on it look like they were made by the same person.
Lin Hanzhi held the complete concentric circle pendant in one hand, looked up at Qi Gu, and moved the half of the concentric circle pendant hanging on his other wrist closer to the half hanging on Qi Gu's wrist. The two half concentric circle pendants were put together, and for a moment they shone brightly, with the clear white light illuminating the tomb chamber.
…
It turns out that this heart-shaped pendant is not just one, but a pair.
One is for the previous life, and one is for this life.
[Exactly the same jade pendant!] 】
【hiss……】
[So the Emperor who spent money and the eunuch lying in the coffin are Guguzhizhi's previous lives? 】
[In that case, it was Be in the previous life. If I remember correctly, the Supervisor died at the age of 20, and Emperor Huaqian died at the age of 30. There was originally a five-year age difference between the two. That means five years after the Supervisor died, Emperor Huaqian died in depression.]
*
The snow of the dynasty a thousand years ago was blown away by the cold wind.
There was a floor heating in the emperor's bedroom, and charcoal basins were lit in front of the bed. It was as warm as the spring when flowers bloomed. Because of the temperature, the potted flowers in the bedroom, which were supposed to bloom in spring, even sprouted buds early.
But the warden on the bed was getting weaker and weaker day by day. He became thinner and thinner, and his lips became paler and paler.
The first thing the emperor did after court every day was to visit the supervisor.
This is also the time when the air pressure in the bedroom is the lowest every day. According to the emperor's request, the imperial physician comes to take the pulse of the supervisor after he leaves court.
The imperial physician placed his fingertips on the supervisor's slender wrist, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, his brows tightly furrowed.
The emperor asked, "How?"
The imperial physician's diagnosis rolled over and over on his lips, and finally he suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling in silence.
The supervisor's voice was weak and feeble: "Let him go. I know my own body well."
After the chief eunuch spoke, the emperor finally stopped making things difficult for the imperial physician. He waved his hand and asked them to leave, and also dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids.
The emperor sat on the bedside, hugging the warden's increasingly thin waist with very light force. He picked up the warm scallop and chicken porridge beside him, stirred it with a porcelain spoon to cool it down, and said softly: "They said you haven't eaten today. I will feed you some, okay?"
"This is your favorite food when you entered the palace."
The Supervisor was a person who loved gourmet food very much. Whenever the emperor said that the imperial kitchen had developed a new delicacy, the Supervisor would appear in front of the emperor within a quarter of an hour.
But now, the person who loved delicious food the most was so weak that he had no appetite. Even though his favorite food was placed in front of him, he couldn't eat even a single bit.
