Chapter 216 What is Good
Jiang Yunxi looked ahead and saw scattered white bones on the ground not far away. The next second, she walked over quickly and reached out to touch those bones.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
"They are fresh, not left over from hundreds of years ago." Jiang Yunxi said after looking at the bones. If they were hundreds of years old, the bones would have turned into ashes long ago, unless special things were used to preserve them.
Clearly not here.
Moreover, judging from the color and texture of these bones, they are not very old.
"You mean, someone dumped the body here?" Zhan Beiyuan's face was full of shock. The East Palace was heavily guarded, and outsiders could not enter and exit at will, let alone move the body here.
"Yeah." Jiang Yunxi said with certainty that these bones were left behind by the corpses thrown in later.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi stood up and walked inside. There were still some scattered bones on the ground. At the end of the passage was a corner. The two walked in and a huge carved stone door appeared in their sight.
Zhan Beiyuan stepped forward and pushed hard, but couldn't move it open. "There must be a mechanism."
Jiang Yunxi: "It's a formation, I'll do it."
After she finished speaking, she took out the golden paintbrush and waved it quickly on the stone gate, painting from the left side to the right side. Finally, she took off the hairpin on her head, pricked her finger, and dripped blood into the eye of the formation.
I saw a faint white light floating on the stone gate.
Then the door opened.
Zhan Beiyuan just felt it was incredible. He didn't expect that there was such a place hidden under the East Palace.
"I'll go ahead." He stopped Jiang Yunxi who was about to go in.
"Don't worry, there's no danger." Jiang Yunxi smiled at him, at least she didn't sense it.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The two of them went in together. The space inside was even larger. In the middle stood a large square altar with round carved pillars at the four corners, each with a ferocious beast carved on it.
There are steps on both sides of the altar, with a total of three levels. The first level is square, and the second level is circular with a half-person-high fence, and there are palm-high stone pillars on the fence.
Runes are carved on each stone pillar.
The third floor has the same layout as the second floor, but it is smaller in area. Because it is a bit high, I don’t know what is placed on it.
"Why is there such an altar under the East Palace?" Zhan Beiyuan said as he was about to walk towards the stairs. He wanted to go up and take a look.
Jiang Yunxi held him back and said sternly, "The formation up there is unusual. Anyone who goes up there will be seriously injured, or even killed."
Zhan Beiyuan's face darkened. "I don't know why, but I always feel that this is not a good place. For a moment, I don't understand what our ancestors did."
He didn't want his ancestor to be a bad person who hurt innocent people.
"It does look weird here, but there's no evil aura. There are many ancient formations on the altar, which seem to be suppressing something." Jiang Yunxi expressed her opinion.
She did not go up to the altar, but walked towards the front of the altar. The wall in front of her was covered with strange patterns and various runes.
Zhan Beiyuan felt relieved when he heard her say that. As long as the ancestor didn't do anything evil, it would be fine.
Jiang Yunxi stood in front of the wall, staring at the pattern on the wall. It was quite messy and she couldn't tell what was being drawn on it, but for some reason she felt sad.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at it for a while but couldn't understand it at all. Those runes were not words and were crooked. He looked at Jiang Yunxi with surprise on his face, "Why are you crying?"
"I cried?" Jiang Yunxi was confused. When she reached out to touch her eyes, her hands were wet.
She actually cried.
As far as she could remember, she seemed to have never cried.
Looking at the paintings on the wall, she shed tears unconsciously.
"Don't you know you are crying?" Zhan Beiyuan looked at her in confusion. At this moment, there was still crystal mist in her eyes, and she looked very sad.
"I don't know..." Jiang Yunxi shook her head. She turned her face away and stopped looking at the paintings on the wall, but her heart was filled with sadness. Why did she feel so sad when looking at the paintings on the wall?
This was the first time she felt so confused after living for several lifetimes.
Zhan Beiyuan pulled her away and said, "Don't look at it."
Jiang Yunxi let him lead her away.
As soon as the two of them went out, the carved door behind them closed automatically, and a deadly aura lingered outside.
"What did you see on the wall?" Zhan Beiyuan let go of her hand and asked softly.
"I can't tell what's in the painting."
"Then why are you crying?"
Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "If I say I don't know, would you believe me?"
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her red eyes and felt his chest tighten. "This king believes it."
"The death energy is only outside, not inside. The source is outside, covered by the formation." Jiang Yunxi walked outside. The people who built this place are quite powerful.
They look like southern barbarians.
If it weren't for the Nanman, the Tenglong Kingdom would not have been established. It was normal for the ancestor of the Zhan family to hear that the other party built these things.
But she didn't understand why such a strange building was built?
"Let's go back tonight." Zhan Beiyuan said. He saw that she was not in a good condition.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi nodded. The painting on the wall was still lingering in her mind, making her feel heavy and sad.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the small hall, they saw Eunuch Cui standing there with a smile on his face.
"Prince Han, Miss Jiang, the emperor invites you to the Health Palace." Cui Hai said respectfully.
Jiang Yunxi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that there were secret guards near the small hall. As soon as they entered, someone went to report to Emperor Su Ming, but he did not immediately send someone to stop them.
The two had no choice but to go see Emperor Su Ming.
Emperor Su Ming sat upright in casual clothes, his face dark and his eyes sharp as knives. "What are you doing here, awake so late at night? That's not the place for you to go."
"Your Majesty, we just want to know what the death aura is. It was my brother who took Jiang Yunxi there. It has nothing to do with her." Zhan Beiyuan said indifferently with an expressionless face.
"What do you want to do?" Emperor Su Ming said angrily, his eyes seemed to want to kill someone. He brought outsiders to such a place and spoke so confidently. He was really spoiled.
"Your humble servant wants to remove the dead energy. The Crown Prince of Tenglong Kingdom does not need to be screened with dead energy." Zhan Beiyuan said it directly. He would have to tell him sooner or later anyway, so he might as well tell him now.
Bang——
Emperor Su Ming slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with anger as he demanded, "Are you crazy? The death aura is a rule set by our ancestors. How can you just clear it out? Do you still have any respect for our ancestors?"
"I have our ancestors in my eyes. Good rules can be followed, but why not change the bad ones?" Zhan Beiyuan looked at him without flinching, his momentum undiminished.
"Tell me, what is good and what is bad? Hundreds of years have passed, and the royal family of Tenglong Kingdom is doing well. Is there any danger?" Emperor Su Ming was very angry, and then looked at Jiang Yunxi.
Before she appeared, the emperor's younger brother had never acted like this.
Seeing Emperor Su Ming looking at her, Jiang Yunxi said sternly, "Your Majesty, I did not encourage Prince Han to remove the dead energy."
