The clan leader met Ma Ximing's gaze, his heart trembled, and he quickly followed him.
"Master Ma, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ma Ximing turned his head to glance at the patriarch, shook his head and sighed.
Each and every one of them was quite courageous, hiding everything that should and shouldn't be hidden.
The clan leader became even more panicked. Although he was not in the capital, he still knew Ma Ximing's abilities.
He had come into contact with Ma Ximing during the various annual ancestor worship ceremonies and he was a man of real ability.
"Master Ma."
The clan leader came close to Ma Ximing and said humbly, "Master Ma, please point out a clear path for my family, please!"
Ma Ximing paused slightly, glanced left and right, and then continued to walk forward.
"I don't know anything!"
Ma Ximing left this sentence without any further explanation.
The patriarch stopped and looked at the busy Ma Ximing with a frown on his face.
After a moment, the patriarch came to his senses and immediately explained everything to every member of the family.
When the time came, after Emperor Wu of Liang took his seat and washed, Ma Ximing handed the lit incense to Emperor Wu of Liang.
But he didn't dare let Emperor Wu of Liang light the incense himself, so he specially found a person with good fortune to help light the incense. After lighting the incense, he handed it to Emperor Wu of Liang to worship and dispel the anger of his ancestors.
The process of lighting incense and offering sacrifices went smoothly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After Emperor Wu of Liang lit the incense, a stone in his heart finally fell.
Then Emperor Wu of Liang picked up the wine jug, poured the wine into the wine glass, and placed it on the altar.
"Clang~"
As soon as Emperor Wu of Liang put the wine glass on it and his hand left the glass, the glass fell over and the wine spilled all over.
He fell so quickly and cleanly that he gave Emperor Wu of Liang no chance to rescue him.
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the overturned wine glass and his hands trembled with anger.
He felt as if he were trapped in an inescapable nightmare, and nothing was going his way.
The wine glass was placed on the altar perfectly, and suddenly it fell over without even a breeze...
The people who were kneeling suddenly stopped and lowered their heads, pretending not to see this scene.
This was not the first time that the ministers had experienced such a dramatic scene, and they had already developed the ability to withstand it.
Seeing this scene, the gravekeeper family drooped their eyelids in horror and prayed silently that nothing more would happen.
Our ancestors didn't drink alcohol, so that means... well...
Emperor Wu of Liang took two breaths, picked up the wine glass and continued to pour wine, then carefully placed the wine glass on the altar again.
He put down the wine glass and even waited for a moment with his hand by the glass.
Seeing that the wine glass was steady, Emperor Wu of Liang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew his hand.
"Clang~"
The wine glass fell down again without warning.
The ministers, who were already experienced, knelt on the ground firmly. As expected, once there was a chance of failure, there would be another...
Only the members of the gravekeeper's family were frightened to the point that their pupils trembled. They were terrified when they thought of the empty tomb.
The coffins of their ancestors were all cobbled together by them, so the materials were naturally not as good as the ones used by their ancestors. It was normal for their ancestors to be angry...
Emperor Wu of Liang gritted his teeth and picked up the wine glass, and the veins on his hand bulged as he held the glass.
He wanted to crush the wine glass in his hand.
Ma Ximing frowned and spoke boldly.
"Your Majesty, please enter the mausoleum."
He heard rumors in the palace that Concubine Lin predicted that the royal tombs were being robbed, which was why the ancestors were furious.
He calculated carefully in this direction and found that what Lin Taotao said was probably right.
Now that this accident occurred during Emperor Wu of Liang's ancestral worship, coupled with the reaction of the tomb keeper's family, the tomb was stolen should be a foregone conclusion.
This group of tomb robbers was so rampant that they made all nine clans of the royal family die of poverty.
Emperor Wu of Liang gritted his teeth, put down the deformed brass wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice,
"Open the tomb!"
All the ministers looked at the chief of the gravekeepers.
".......yes...."
The chief of the gravekeepers seemed to be frozen in time. After some mental struggle, he responded and walked towards the entrance of the mausoleum.
What is coming cannot be avoided. Anyway, they knew nothing and did not hear anything unusual.
Ignorance is no crime.
With a "boom", the stone door at the entrance of the mausoleum slowly moved away.
Emperor Wu of Liang walked to the entrance, saluted, and then walked into the tomb accompanied by the imperial guards, Ma Ximing, and the chief of the tomb keepers.
With every step he took, Emperor Wu of Liang felt a pang in his heart and felt inexplicably panicked.
So far, no emperor has entered the mausoleum alive, which is very unlucky.
Normally, an altar would be set up in the palace or ancestral temple for worship.
If a major event occurs, they will choose an auspicious day and come to the royal cemetery to pay their respects outside.
He had never heard of any emperor entering the mausoleum and facing his ancestors directly.
Even he had to avoid the oppressive feeling brought by his ancestors.
He had no choice but to do this. Accidents happened one after another during ancestor worship, so he had to meet his ancestors and apologize in person.
Emperor Wu of Liang took a deep breath, walked down the stairs with square steps, and then walked towards the main tomb chamber.
"kindness!?"
As soon as Emperor Wu of Liang stepped into the main tomb chamber, he was dumbfounded.
Where are the dragon and phoenix coffins of my father and mother?
Who could tell him how this ordinary coffin without even a single carving could appear in the royal mausoleum?
Not to mention that my father and mother would not use this kind of coffin, even the coffins used by the concubines would not be so bad.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of Liang thought he was dazzled.
He closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again and looked...
