Chapter 302: Laozi's Underground Palace
The underground palace is huge.
Moreover, the person who arranged it was extremely attentive. The ground was paved with gold and silver, and the walls were decorated with thousand-year-old eternal lamps and night-shining pearls to lead the way.
The further you go in, the wider it becomes.
But it also became increasingly chaotic, and it was evident that people had fought within the underground palace over the gold and silver.
"Since they took away the burial objects, how could they desecrate the underground palace like this?" Lu Zhengyue felt angry.
"Our deserted city is originally a place of exile. Most of the people here are descendants of exiles and criminals. Most of them just want to live one day at a time and don't care about whether they are vegetarian or not." The man who led the way said embarrassedly.
"You can be greedy, but you can't be without conscience. Since you took the gold and silver, you should leave properly and shouldn't damage the underground palace to this extent."
Lu Zhengyue was exhausted by the war and plague, and this was his first time entering the underground palace.
The man leading the way said nothing, but just led everyone forward.
Wen Ning held a torch in his hand and walked forward carefully leading Chao Chao. Seeing the underground palace smashed to pieces, he couldn't help but sigh.
She thought about it, frowned slightly, and kowtowed to the ground.
"What's wrong, Aning?" Lu Zhengyue asked.
Wen Ning put his hands together, kowtowed earnestly, and then said, "It is wrong to disturb the souls in the underground palace." Besides, the owner of the underground palace was very kind. He allowed people in need to take the valuables they needed from behind the stone gate, but the crowd smashed and robbed, destroying the underground palace like bandits, which is a crime.
She was born as a human being and is ultimately of the same bloodline as everyone else in the world. So she could just bow her head as an acknowledgment of her mistake.
Lu Zhengyue thought about it, then knelt down beside Wen Ning and kowtowed seriously.
The imperial physician and the soldiers who led the way naturally kowtowed as well when they saw their masters kneeling. Instead, the local people who led the way looked around indifferently.
They still had the copper coins they had picked up in their pockets.
I still feel regretful that I didn't pick up any gold.
"When you came in, was there a perpetual lamp burning in the underground palace?" Lu Zhengyue asked.
The man who led the way nodded and said, "Yes, this lamp oil is a treasure. It can burn for at least thousands of years without going out. Tsk, I was too late!" The man sighed and regretted.
Lu Zhengyue lay on the wall and reached out to gently wipe the position of the eternal lamp.
When taking the eternal lamp, the action was rough and some lamp oil spilled.
He greased his hands.
Lu Zhengyue sniffed it gently: "There is no smell of oil, but instead a strange fragrance. And..." There is also a familiar smell, but he can't remember it at all.
The imperial physician also sniffed it and said, "It seems familiar..."
"Let me feel it, let me feel it." Lu Chaochao tiptoed, but no matter how much she tiptoed, she was only almost three years old.
Lu Zhengyue bent down and said, "Just take a sniff. We don't know if it's poisonous or not."
"How could it be poisonous? The tomb owner is so kind." Wen Ning joked.
From the emperor to the common people, everyone was extremely afraid of having their graves dug up. The imperial tomb even has special people guarding it, which shows how precious it is.
The tomb owner stood in front of the stone gate and asked everyone not to disturb him.
Once you enter the stone gate, there is no turning back, and they kindly ask everyone to kowtow, take some of their belongings, and then leave.
The people really don't know what's good for them.
"The tomb owner must have been of very high status, as he could have built such a huge and extravagant underground palace with great care. What a pity..." But he ended up having his grave dug up.
Lu Chaochao sniffed lightly.
“Eh…”
"It's the smell of incense. Second brother, smell it, does it smell like the smell of my grandmother's Buddhist temple?" It is the scent of incense that is offered all year round.
Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, yes! It's the smell of incense!" Lu Zhengyue slapped his thighs violently. No wonder it felt so familiar.
"It really does resemble the atmosphere in a temple, with a sense of peace of mind." The imperial doctors nodded.
Lu Chaochao frowned slightly.
The gods are worshipped by the people, and their blood naturally has the scent of incense. This lamp oil...
Lu Chaochao's heart was shocked.
It's the blood of the gods' hearts!
"This underground palace was so beautiful before, with countless pieces of gold on the ground, sparkling. Oh, and there were flowers and plants planted on both sides of the ground..."
"It's really strange. There's no water or air in this place. I don't know how it can grow."
"But these flowers and plants are very aggressive. If you pull them out, they will die." The man kicked the dead grass on the ground.
The doctor picked up the dry grass and examined it carefully.
"Is there anything unusual?" Lu Zhengyue asked.
The doctor shook his head: "There is no poison. I don't think it has anything to do with the underground palace."
"There are some gorgeous colorful dresses inside. Oh, I have never seen such beautiful and gorgeous dresses in my life. It's a pity... they will turn into ashes as soon as I touch them." The man smacked his lips.
"Hehe, could it be that this plague is a divine punishment from heaven that destroyed the underground palace? Hahahaha..." The man who led the way casually turned over the rubble on the ground, fearing that he would lose any valuables. He flipped through the pages and joked at the same time.
"Shut up." Wen Ning scolded coldly.
The man shut up awkwardly.
Lu Chaochao picked up the dead grass on the ground and felt that it looked familiar.
It looks very much like a rare flower in the world of cultivation, called the Guidance Flower.
It has the effect of gathering souls and guiding the way. It is usually planted on the road to the underworld to direct the direction for the dead. This flower cannot stand sunlight and can only be planted in dark places, and it will die if it leaves the ground.
She pinched a handful of the inconspicuous black soil on the ground.
really……
It is the land of the underworld.
"There's also a jade bed in the front. Wow, that's a good thing."
"The entire bed was paved with transparent white jade, which seemed to glow from a distance. Everyone fought in front of the jade bed, with their heads broken and blood splattered on the jade bed."
"In the end, the jade bed was smashed bit by bit by everyone using rocks, and you and I took it piece by piece."
"Oh, I was a step too late. I didn't even pick up a piece of broken jade. It's so frustrating!" The man sighed regretfully.
Lu Chaochao paused slightly.
He stared at the broken jade bed in a daze.
My eyelids were twitching wildly and I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Does the jade bed you mentioned feel warm to the touch?" Lu Chaozhao asked in a trembling voice.
Lu Zhengyue looked at her in surprise. Why did Chaochao have that expression?
Just now she looked like she was enjoying the show.
"Yes, yes, yes. I heard from the old people in the city that it is a thousand-year-old warm jade. If the corpse is placed on the warm jade, it can remain intact for a thousand years, just like being alive." The man nodded wildly, with deep regret in his eyes.
Lu Chaochao opened his mouth.
He turned around in astonishment and looked around.
Damn, no wonder it feels so familiar! !
Isn't this the scene in her dream? After a few evil disciples gathered the soul, they found that the body could not wake up, so they placed it on a warm jade bed to keep it from rotting.
Isn’t this warm jade bed the one you lie on? ! !
But, his cenotaph is clearly on the mountain of Huguo Temple! !
But think about it...
The cenotaph is empty, and only remains for people to pay homage and worship.
This underground palace is probably the disciple's carefully preserved thought!
[Ah!] ! 】Lu Chaochao screamed in anger in her mind and her little face turned red.
Lu Zhengyue suddenly raised his hands to cover his ears, his expression ferocious and painful.
"What's wrong, Zhengyue?" Wen Ning asked hurriedly.
Lu Zhengyue rubbed his ears with difficulty and looked at his sister vaguely: "It's nothing." He comforted Wen Ning while taking a breath.
I can’t laugh anymore! 】
[Ahhh, I'm so angry! I'm so angry! ! 】
[It turns out that I was the one who was wronged!] ! 】
[They dug up my underground palace!] ! 】
