Chapter 163 Imperial Mausoleum
"Hao Zhong, is the axe I gave you still there?"
When Old Man Zhong heard what Liu Shiqi said, he jumped up from the bed.
Staring at Liu Shiqi angrily.
Liu Shiqi chuckled and quickly took two steps back.
Quickly change the subject.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!"
"Alright, alright!"
"You finally woke up!"
"Then I'll tell you something serious!"
"Brother Zhuang is missing!"
"It seems like I entered the big black door of that big black building!"
"Should we find a way to rescue him?"
Liu Shiqi said this, but he was thinking happily in his heart.
[Who would have thought, she was my grandfather’s first love! 】
[She turned out to be the old emperor’s empress!] 】
[It’s a pity that I was born at the wrong time and missed it!] 】
【well! 】
The old man's eyebrows twitched.
Grinding my teeth in my heart.
How come this little girl knows everything?
Fortunately, there are only two of them here, otherwise if others knew about it, he would lose all his dignity!
He really wanted to jump up and beat Liu Shiqi up.
But what he heard was her inner voice, and he couldn't show it.
So, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
Old man Zhong was so angry that his beard stood up.
He finally managed to hold it back and asked Liu Shiqi.
"How can you be sure that Zhuang went to that black door?"
Liu Shiqi said directly, "Because I searched the whole house! But I couldn't find it anywhere!"
"I even ran out of the house and came to our residence. I went to Brother Zhuang's room to have a look!"
“I haven’t been back yet!”
Old man Zhong frowned.
I was also wondering where Zhuang Yan had gone.
Liu Shiqi continued, "Actually, when we were having dinner!"
"I seemed to sense that the big black door seemed to open and then close again!"
"So I thought, maybe Brother Zhuang accidentally entered the black door!"
When Old Man Zhong heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Can you still sense the Black Door opening? Closing?"
Liu Shiqi nodded.
“It should be!”
Seeing her confidence, Old Man Zhong was shocked.
Shi Qi really has a special connection with this place.
This can't be a coincidence.
That means Shi Qi must have some relationship with the Emperor's Mausoleum or the Empress Helian Youming...
Liu Shiqi continued, "I originally wanted to go into the black gate and take a look!"
“But I’ve been in there before!”
"But, every time I either leave the house directly!"
“Just went somewhere else!”
“It’s different every time anyway!”
"After a long time, I found a pattern, that is, these places are the places that I think of in my mind!"
Old man Zhong was very surprised.
Because he could only go to one place by entering through the black gate, and that was the Imperial Mausoleum!
But he can't go somewhere else like Shi Qi.
Liu Shiqi looked at his surprised expression and came over to ask.
"Grandfather, could it be! Are you different from me?"
Old man Zhong frowned.
There was no direct answer to her.
He quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes and left.
Liu Shiqi was stunned and followed him closely.
"Ah, ah! Grandfather!"
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Do you know where Brother Zhuang went?"
"Grandfather, are you going to say something?"
"I'm so anxious!"
"Is there something wrong with the Black Gate?"
"Could he have gone to some place I don't know about?"
Liu Shiqi was behind Old Man Zhong, chattering away.
Old man Zhong couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned his head, glared at her and said.
"Alright, alright, you little bitch, stop nagging!"
"You've almost made my head hurt!"
"I'm telling you, it's done!"
Liu Shiqi's eyes lit up and he quickly approached him and asked.
"Grandfather, please tell me! Please tell me!"
"What's the secret?"
"That's why you're so secretive!"
Liu Shiqi had an expression as if he was listening to gossip.
Old man Zhong wanted to slap her when he saw her.
But I can’t do it…
Old man Zhong said helplessly.
"The Black Gate is the entrance to the Imperial Mausoleum!"
Liu Shiqi (☉_☉)
She paused and looked at Old Man Zhong with a blank face.
"What, what imperial mausoleum?"
"What?"
Old Man Zhong thought about it and gave a simple explanation.
"The Imperial Mausoleum is where emperors are buried after they die!"
"And that black door is the entrance to the Emperor's Mausoleum!"
Liu Shiqi still couldn't believe what he heard.
She twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at Old Man Zhong in silence for a long time before asking.
"After all this commotion, this house we're staying in is almost like a haunted house, right?"
She thought again and realized that this was not right.
"Then this heirloom of ours is actually a key to enter the imperial mausoleum?"
"Then our family is the guardian of the mausoleum for others?"
"This is too, too weird!"
Old Man Zhong thought about it and nodded.
“That’s pretty much the same thing.”
"Our family is the gravekeeper!"
Liu Shiqi became even more curious, and she asked, "Who is the owner of this tomb?"
"Is it such a grand event?"
“Such a secret gravekeeper is still needed.”
"The entrance to the imperial mausoleum can actually be placed in this space house!"
"It seems that ordinary emperors don't have such amazing abilities?"
Old Man Zhong nodded and said.
"The tomb owner is Helian Youming, the empress of Ceylon, a mysterious country thousands of years ago."
Liu Shiqi was stunned, "Helian Youming?"
[Why is it the Netherworld again?] 】
Liu Shiqi thought of that strange dream.
The person in the dream mentioned something called the Underworld, which seemed to be the name of the empress.
There are also words of the underworld engraved on her bracelet.
She became more and more curious.
Liu Shiqi asked, "Then what is the relationship between our family and this empress?"
"Why does our family have to guard her tomb for generations?"
Old man Zhong stopped, looked at the sky and said.
"The national teacher of Ceylon is our ancestor!"
"He made a mistake that nearly led to the destruction of Ceylon!"
"The Empress redeemed the mistakes of her ancestors, but she paid a heavy price!"
"The body and head are separated..."
"So, in order to atone for their sins, our ancestors and their descendants guarded the empress's tomb for generations."
Liu Shiqi pursed his lips.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
She still had many questions she wanted to ask, but they had already reached the black gate.
Old man Zhong's expression was obviously much more serious.
This made Liu Shiqi nervous.
Old Man Zhong said, "Little girl, just wait at the door and don't go anywhere!"
"Also, no matter what you see later, don't be surprised and don't move!"
"Do you know?"
Liu Shiqi nodded obediently.
"Oh, OK!"
Old man Zhong looked at her again before walking to the black door and pushing it with all his strength.
With a creaky sound, the door opened a crack.
Then, thick black fog rolled out.
Liu Shiqi looked at the black mist in surprise.
【this? Why is it different from the scene when I entered the black door before! 】
[Every time I go in, there is nothing inside! 】
[No, it’s not like there’s nothing!] 】
【But every time I open the door, I am directly at where I want to go! 】
Liu Shiqi frowned as he looked at the increasingly thick black fog and the black hand that suddenly stretched out.
[So, this is what the Black Gate originally looked like...]
