Chapter 152 The Ancient Tomb in the Summer Palace (Part 1)



Qin Qianlu carefully observed the murals and discovered that some details were different from those in the ancient tombs she had seen before.

She speculated that the tomb might be the mausoleum of an important figure.

In the center of the tomb chamber was a huge coffin. The coffin was inscribed with text and patterns, and it looked very solemn.

Qin Qianluo and An Yue stepped forward and bowed to the coffin to show their respect for the deceased.

After passing through several burial chambers, they finally arrived at the largest one.

The gate before us was made entirely of gold, gleaming brilliantly in the candlelight.

Qin Qianluo stood there in shock, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

After searching for the mechanism, the golden door slowly opened, and suddenly several arrows shot out from inside.

Dark Moon reacted quickly, grabbing Qin Qianluo and darting aside.

Qin Qianlu was still shaken. Although she wouldn't be injured, the sudden arrow still startled her.

The two waited for a while, and then Qin Qianlu threw an apple into the entrance. After waiting a while longer and confirming that nothing unusual had happened, she finally felt relieved and entered the tomb chamber.

Upon entering the tomb chamber, an atmosphere of luxury immediately envelops you.

The ground was made of jade that exuded a chilling aura, and the walls were made of gold bricks.

There were no candles in the entire tomb chamber; instead, it was illuminated by luminous pearls the size of an adult man's fist. These pearls emitted a soft light, making the entire tomb chamber as bright as day.

As Qin Qianluo looked at the scene before her, she became increasingly curious about the identity of the tomb's occupant.

The two bowed to the extremely luxurious coffin in the center, and then began to carefully observe their surroundings.

Qin Qian found the books piled up on the Eight Immortals table in a corner of the tomb chamber.

She walked over and carefully checked for any hidden mechanisms. After confirming it was safe, she picked up a book and began to read it carefully.

The inscription above records the life of the tomb's occupant, Yao Guang. It turns out she was not an emperor, but the leader of a sect.

The book records Yao Guang's life experiences in detail, and you can feel the author's deep love for her between the lines. Every little thing is recorded in great detail.

Qin Qianlu flipped to the end and found something strange: it said that due to an accident, everyone in the entire sect, including Yao Guang, died overnight.

However, there is no record of what exactly happened, nor is there any record of who buried them here.

It only stated that if anyone entered, they could choose any gold and silver treasures they wanted, but should not harm anyone in the coffin, or a curse would be cast.

Although Qin Qianluo did not believe in curses, she did not touch the coffins, after all, the dead should be respected and the deceased should be honored.

At this moment, she was filled with curiosity and wanted to find out how the entire sect had perished overnight.

Putting down the book in her hand, Qin Qianluo looked at other books, hoping to find some clues.

Unable to find anything useful, Qin Qianluo had no choice but to give up, gently putting down the book in her hand and looking around.

Then she saw a sword stand next to the coffin, on which lay a sword of pure ice blue.

The sword emitted a soft glow under the illumination of the luminous pearl, as if telling a story of its extraordinary nature.

Dark Moon also noticed the sword. She had a strong interest in weapons, and her eyes revealed longing as she looked at the exquisite scabbard.

However, she did not rush forward, but carefully examined the sword from five steps away.

Qin Qianluo was also drawn to the ice-blue sword, according to the biographical record.

This is Yao Guang's sword, which is said to be made of rare minerals, capable of cutting through iron like mud, and is exquisitely crafted.

The two women examined the sword for a long time, and Qin Qianluo and An Yue were full of praise for its exquisite craftsmanship.

After a while, she reluctantly sat down on the steps to rest for a moment.

Qin Qianluo had absolutely no intention of taking anything. She was not short of money, and in her opinion, there was no need to take other people's things for herself.

I came here purely out of curiosity, wanting to see what the ancient tomb looked like.

Now that I've seen the entire tomb and satisfied my curiosity, I feel that's enough.

As for the gold and silver jewelry, let's leave them where they are. This secluded spot should not be discovered by anyone else.

Thinking of Yao Guang's life, Qin Qianluo couldn't help but ask, "Yunbao, can you see Yao Guang's information?"

Feng Qingyun examined it carefully and said, "Luo Bao, I can't see it."

Qin Qianluo wasn't surprised by this answer. After all, Yaoguang was a figure from a thousand years ago, so it was normal that Yunbao couldn't obtain relevant information.

At this moment, Dark Moon, looking at the tomb chamber before her, couldn't help but ask, "Qianluo, how are we going to get out of here?"

Qin Qianluo looked around, her gaze landing on a corner. She pointed and said, "You should be able to get out over there."

Going back the way we came probably won't work; the giant rock at the entrance can only be opened from the outside. Let's go over there and see what happens."

Dark Moon looked in the direction Qin Qianlu pointed and nodded; that was a place the two of them hadn't yet passed.

Logically, if you can't go back the way you came, you should be able to find the exit by walking forward.
