Chapter 204 Don’t Marry the Guy Behind You

The underground darkroom was as large as an open space in a courtyard and was decorated in a magnificent and luxurious manner.

The wall lights are windproof and fireproof, and there are vents on the walls. I don't know what kind of treasure was used to build the walls, but it feels like it can keep warm in winter and cool in summer. The waistline of the walls is made of gold bricks, which is amazing.

This style really looks very familiar.

Li Jidao and Song Jie saw a stone couch in the middle of the ground, covered with a golden-threaded quilt. An old man was sitting cross-legged on it, his eyes closed, practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing.

But his breathing was very disordered, and the sound of his breathing seemed louder than that of a cow.

What was scary was his face, which was full of wrinkles, like the bark of an old tree close to its roots, gray and ugly, and it was impossible to tell what he looked like when he was young.

It turns out that people can be so old.

Li Jidao stood in front of him and said, "You are old, but I will still beat you up."

Jia Jidao opened his eyes, looked at her disdainful eyes, and smiled: "As expected, the Li family has no morals."

Li Jidao smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have never been immoral in dealing with right and wrong. If I have been immoral towards you, you must have owed me."

"Where are my ancestors?"

Jia Jidao shook his head and said, "The bodies are not important. Don't you want to hear why I stole these bodies?"

"Are you willing to tell me?" Li Jidao frowned, "If you are willing to tell me, I will certainly listen."

Jia Jidao raised his head. Li Jidao then realized that his eyes were as black as ink, like a nightingale hiding behind a tree, very sharp and bright, not like an old man at all.

He looked at her carefully, then said calmly: "Are you stuttering? That shouldn't be the case. This body doesn't seem to be yours."

Li Jidao was surprised that this person didn't recognize her by her face or personality, he just looked at her.

His cultivation level is unfathomable. Can he and Song Jie really defeat him together?

Li Jidao thought about it and smiled, then walked around the couch and said, "Whatever you see is what it is."

Jia Jidao shook his head slightly: "Don't think about attacking me. My time is up and I am waiting for you. If you don't come, I will not be able to hold on any longer."

"If I die, you really won't know anything and can only be slaughtered by others."

Li Jidao and Song Jie exchanged glances, and she walked back to Jia Jidao and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Waiting for a real member of the Li family."

"What are you waiting for?" Li Jidao asked, "Tell me, why did you steal the body?"

Jia Jidao nodded slightly: "The Li family rarely shows graves to others. It's not that they don't know how to do it, but they're not as good as the Cui family."

Li Jidao had to admit that there would definitely be a little distance.

The reason why the Cui family became famous was that they helped the Song family to point out the acupuncture points, and then the Song family became the emperor.

It’s not that their family members don’t know how to look, but they have never clicked on this kind of dragon cave and dragon vein.

But she didn't like to hear that the Cui family was better than hers.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Everyone has their own priorities and every profession has its own specializations. You, old man, shouldn't... boost...others' ambitions and destroy our family's prestige."

Jia Jidao frowned and said, "My time is coming up, so please stop saying long sentences, or I'm afraid you won't be able to finish listening to me. Forget it, please stop talking. Wait until I've finished talking. If you don't understand something, ask me again."

Li Ji said: "..."

Is he giving up on himself?

You stole her ancestor's corpse, and you still dare to despise her?

It really is.

It’s a pity that she really wants to listen.

"Tell me about it."

Jia Jidao slowly lowered his eyelids, his voice weak and slow: "Xia, Shang, Zhou, Yao, Shun, Yu, Qin, Han, and Wu reunified the country. This large piece of land where we live has people coming and going continuously. This is the change of dynasties."

"So far, no dynasty has been able to be passed down for thousands of generations, but this position is really tempting. You may not know that a dynasty can be passed down forever. As long as we find the inheritance map, what is written on it is clear at a glance, and the Song Dynasty can be firmly established forever."

Li Jidao frowned deeply.

"What is a handed-down picture? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Jia Jidao laughed, "I don't know either. I haven't seen it. It is said that only the Crown Princess saw it, and she died after seeing it. Then her son succeeded to the throne, and it was passed down for four generations. Now the world is in turmoil, how can it be passed down from generation to generation? Therefore, every emperor is looking for a way to open the heirloom map."

"What method?"

Jia Jidao looked at Song Jie beside Li Jidao and shook his head: "Only the Li family knows. I am not a member of the Li family, so how can I know?"

Li Jidao thought to himself, are you kidding me?

The Li family didn't know either.

"What does this have to do with the bodies of my family members?"

Jia Jidao raised his eyes and looked at him again, smiling a little strangely: "Guess what? I guess it's the way to open it."

"These corpses were made by Emperor Tianxiu."

Emperor Tianxiu, grandfather of Emperor Taikang.

Jia Jidao added: "I stole every one of them. Every one that died is in my hands. Including you!"

Li Ji said: “!!”

At this time, Song Jie supported Li Jidao's shoulders.

Li Jidao shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

She was just thinking, no wonder every emperor of the Song family liked to go against the Li family, and Emperor Taikang even ordered the beheading of all members of the Li family. Was it all for the corpses?

Only corpses can open it?

If this is the case, the Song family will never give up on the Li family, and even turning back time will not work. If they want to save the Li family, they can only kill the Song family.

Jia Jidao laughed at this time. His laughter sounded like the cry of a vulture in the wilderness, strange and unpleasant.

He said, "Have you figured out a solution?"

He seemed to be able to see right through her.

Li Jidao's heart suddenly shuddered. What if what he said was all false, and he was deliberately leading him to think this way and then do this?

"Are you really the emperor's messenger?"

Jia Jidao nodded: "Yes."

"But you don't respect the emperor." Li Jidao was puzzled: "You told me everything, didn't you betray me, the emperor? Would you be so kind?"

"Because I hate it!" Jia Jidao looked towards the stairs with a longing look in his eyes: "I have been guarding this tower since I was forty years old, guarding those corpses. At the beginning, I was happy. I felt that everyone valued me. I was really happy. I was the emperor's only confidant."

"As time went by, the emperor died, but I was still here, and I hated it."

"He trusted me, but he also kidnapped me, and I hated him."

That's it?

Li Jidao always felt that this old man was very strange.

She leaned forward slightly, tilted her head and looked at the old man seriously with an innocent look, as if she was looking at something strange.

Suddenly she reached out and stuck a truth talisman on the old man's forehead.

"I'm sorry, I don't believe what you said. I believe myself more."

Li Jidao asked: "What do you want to say to me?"

Jia Jidao looked at her with some shock, some helplessness, and some admiration, and shook his head: "Don't marry the boy behind you."
