A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the joint tomb of the founding emperor Feng Nanyu and Ying Tianjiao.
Since we are passing by the tombs of these two great ancestors, everyone must stop and kowtow.
Otherwise it would be disrespectful to the ancestors.
So Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan led the civil and military officials to the front of the mausoleum, stood very close to the tombstone, and kowtowed in salute.
While kowtowing, Feng Changye gave Zhu Wuhuan a wink.
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, then said to the system, "System, exchange the colorless and odorless powder you mentioned for it, and scatter it toward the back, knocking them all down."
The system happily popped up, [Twenty points required, host!]
Zhu Wuhuan said, "Okay, you can do it yourself."
The system quickly deducted twenty points, then two of its own commission points, and gleefully sent the powder out. [Host and Tyrant, please hold your breath! The system is about to release the powder!]
The moment the reminder was given, the medicinal powder appeared above Zhu Wuhuan's head.
Then it was blown by the invisible wind and floated in all directions.
The two of them waited quietly with bated breath.
One second... two seconds...
When Zhu Wuhuan silently counted to thirteen, he heard a thud from behind.
After the first one, the others soon broke out, one after another and collapsed in a mass!
"Your Majesty, there's something strange here!"
Someone shouted weakly and wanted to stand up to protect the emperor, but fell to the ground with a thud.
"There are assassins... protecting the emperor..."
Feng Changye shouted weakly, and then pretended to be drugged like Zhu Wuhuan and slowly fell down.
The reason they pretended to be unconscious like everyone else was to hide their tracks.
Maybe they go to explore inside the mausoleum, and if they are lucky, nothing happens. But then they will definitely have to come back and continue to face these ministers.
If the minister who fainted last asked them why they didn't faint, how would they explain?
So everyone fainted together, and when they woke up, they all pretended to be confused. No one knew what had happened, not even the two of them...
Wouldn't this be a perfect way to get away with it?
They lay motionless on the ground and waited for twenty seconds. Then the system told them that the powder had spread far away and they no longer needed to hold their breath.
Then the two of them regained their breath.
Just in case, they still didn't get up.
After lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious for two minutes, Zhu Wuhuan asked the system to help her look around to see if there was anyone else who was awake.
The garbage system cannot be surveyed from a distance, but it is not a problem to check up close to see if everyone is dizzy.
It glanced around and told Zhu Wuhuan, "Host, everyone has fainted."
Feng Changye indeed did not hear anyone's inner voice, so he and Zhu Wuhuan got up from the ground.
They stood up and looked at the ministers lying all over the place behind them, said sorry in their hearts, and then began to walk around the mausoleum to see if there was any mechanism to get in.
If there is something strange in the mausoleum of Feng Nanyu and Ying Tianjiao, then the tomb must not be sealed, and there must be a mechanism left for people to enter.
We searched all around the mausoleum, but found no mechanism.
Just as the two were about to look for it again, Zhu Wuhuan suddenly remembered the big sphere on top of the mausoleum.
She suddenly looked up!
Looking at the big ball shining coldly under the moonlight, Zhu Wuhuan bumped Feng Changye's arm.
【Could it be that big ball? 】
She said to Feng Changye in her heart.
The sphere is four meters above the ground we're standing on, and the mausoleum is smooth all around. Without the skill of Qinggong, it's impossible for someone to stand on top of the sphere. This way, we can prevent someone from accidentally activating the mechanism...
Feng Changye also looked at the big sphere.
Huanhuan’s guess is very likely.
Ordinary people who come here don't bring ladders and ropes, and they don't go there specifically to see the decorative stone sphere, so only certain people go there...
He said, “I’ll go take a look first.”
After saying that, he pointed his toes and used the light body technique to fly to the top of the four-meter-high mausoleum. Then he held the big ball to steady his body and barely stood next to the big ball.
Zhu Wuhuan threw a tinderbox and a candlestick up.
He raised his hand to take it, then blew out the tinder to light the candle, and carefully examined the carvings on the big ball in the candlelight.
After looking around again and again, his eyes fell on the eyes of the dragon and phoenix in the auspicious dragon and phoenix pattern.
He raised his hand and pressed the dragon's eyes first.
Left side, no response.
He pressed the right side again, but still no response.
So he pressed Phoenix's two eyes again, and after trying them one by one, there was still no response.
After thinking for a while, he bit the candlestick and pressed the two dragon eyes with both hands at the same time.
Still no response.
He held the candlestick and looked at Zhu Wuhuan, "Huanhuan, come here, let's try pressing four eyes with four hands at the same time-"
Zhu Wuhuan nodded.
She had just acquired the Light Body Technique and was not as proficient as Feng Changye. When she flew up, she accidentally bumped into Feng Changye's nose. Feng Changye looked at her helplessly and kissed her forehead. "Do you want to kill me by hitting me?"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled ingratiatingly, "I didn't mean to do that! I'll be fine after a few days once I get used to it!"
Feng Changye knocked on her forehead, and then they both put their hands on her eyes at the same time and pressed down hard together -
The next moment, a slight clicking sound of a mechanism was heard behind the two of them.
They both looked there at the same time!
It was on the top wall one meter away from the small sphere. A small square hole appeared out of nowhere, only big enough for one person to fit through.
The two of them were instantly delighted! Finally, they could enter the mausoleum!
Feng Changye jumped down from the cave entrance without hesitation, holding the candlestick. He wanted to protect his wife. "I'll go down first, Huanhuan, wait for me—"
Zhu Wuhuan felt warm in his heart as he looked at his unhesitating expression.
Half a minute later, Feng Changye's voice came from below.
"Huanhuan, come down." "Okay."
Zhu Wuhuan responded and quickly jumped out of the cave.
After her feet touched the ground and she stood firmly, she looked at Feng Changye who was holding the candlestick, then quickly walked over to stand with him.
She was still quite scared of breaking into the mausoleum.
She had to be close to him to give herself courage.
Feng Changye glanced at her sideways and held her fingers tightly, "Let's go."
The two men relied on the candlesticks in their hands to illuminate the tomb and walked forward step by step.
As they walked and looked around, they realized that this tomb must have been frequented by someone, as the candlesticks on the bronze statues on both sides were filled with oil.
If no one came here regularly, hundreds of years would have passed and the lamp oil wouldn't have been so full.
Since someone came here often, the two of them were not afraid and walked forward with big strides.
They passed through the winding paths and many doors. When they opened the doors, they were almost injured by various hidden weapons. Finally, they arrived at the main tomb chamber of the mausoleum!
This is where the coffins of Feng Nanyu and Ying Tianjiao are placed.
The two stood at the door of the main tomb chamber, looking at the huge coffin placed on the high platform from afar.
