Chapter 388 Zhao Er: Meet Her Highness the Saint!
The mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after Du Qingruo, the Saint of the Way of Disaster, led her people into the tomb, they found that they had reached the end.
To be precise, the so-called mausoleum of Emperor Taizu is actually a fake tomb, a cenotaph.
In the center of the tomb, there is a throne made of white jade, and on the throne is a set of dragon robes.
Apart from that, the entire tomb was empty.
The vast tomb chamber was actually empty!
"That's impossible!"
Du Qingruo's face looked a little ferocious.
All the planning turned out to be in vain in the end.
It is said that in order to build his mausoleum, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty mobilized tens of thousands of death row prisoners in the Western Hills, and it took ten years to complete.
But now, the tomb is empty.
"Saint, could it be the Yin-Yang Tomb?"
The Jieyun Daoist who was in charge of leading the others to open the tomb passage whispered, "I heard that an emperor once built a Yin-Yang tomb. The Yin tomb was on top, a fake tomb, and the Yang tomb was below, the real tomb!"
"What are you waiting for? Start digging!"
Du Qingruo was very anxious.
The imperial army will arrive here soon, and by then, they will be trapped.
"Saint, this, I can't do it!"
The man pointed to the ground with a bitter face, "Under our feet, there are blocks of bluestone, tightly packed together. Without a heavy hammer, we can't break through this layer of bluestone with the tools we have!"
"Wait, that's not right!"
Du Qingruo waved his hand fiercely and said, "Historical records show that when Emperor Taizu passed away, his body was kept for three days and buried on the fourth day. On that day, the tomb was sealed and the Dragon-Severing Stone was dropped."
"If the fake tomb is underneath, then it would be impossible to seal the Yang Tomb to this extent in just one day."
"Search, search everywhere, there must be a trap!"
Du Qingruo immediately urged his men to start hammering and banging in the tomb.
The tomb chamber is paved with the same bluestone slabs on all sides. It is really difficult to find any abnormalities with the naked eye.
Therefore, the people of Jieyundao could only knock on the bluestones to find the possible mechanism.
What's more, they actually found a mechanism by knocking on it.
After Du Qingruo and his group struggled to push open a bluestone slab on the side wall that was as high as a person, they finally saw a passage, but they didn't know where it led to.
"Walk!"
Du Qingruo waved his hand immediately.
However, before the people on the Jieyun Road had walked far, some of them began to feel dizzy and unconscious.
"Saint, I am no longer capable!"
"The foul air in this Yang Tomb has not yet cleared, we can't go any further!"
Hearing his subordinates' words, Du Qingruo shook his head and did not speak. He just raised his hand and pointed behind him, indicating that those who could not bear it should retreat quickly.
Du Qingruo held his breath, suddenly started to speed up, and ran forward wildly.
As a master, Du Qingruo's ability to hold his breath is naturally not bad.
However, after all her mad rush, she did not find the tomb of Emperor Taizu. Instead, she rushed out of the long tomb passage and stood in a valley shrouded in fog.
Du Qingruo stopped and looked at the foggy valley before her. Then, she stopped again. In this valley, countless bones piled up. Countless bones spread across the ground, stretching forward.
Du Qingruo instantly understood that the bones here were those of the death row prisoners who had built the mausoleum for Emperor Taizu.
It is said that Emperor Taizu was benevolent, however, tens of thousands of death row prisoners were left exposed here.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the families of death row prisoners were allowed to bury them, even if they were beheaded.
But these tens of thousands of death row prisoners ended up dying without a burial place.
Du Qingruo looked at the endless pile of bones in front of her and had already made up her mind that when she left here, she would remember the location of this place and reveal the true face of the hypocritical Emperor Taizu to the world.
But before that, we still have to find the location of Emperor Taizu's tomb and cut off the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Qingruo observed the spot but was unable to determine where Emperor Taizu's tomb was. He could only use this method and search bit by bit along the edge of the valley.
Then, Du Qingruo felt like she was going crazy!
He discovered countless cave entrances around the valley.
Which cave entrance leads to the real burial place of Emperor Taizu?
Look for them one by one?
Du Qingruo felt that he might be poisoned to death by the foul air in these tombs before he even found the real burial place.
"Is such a person worthy of being called benevolent?"
"Bah!"
Du Qingruo couldn't help but curse loudly in the valley.
"He doesn't deserve it, so you do?"
The moment Du Qingruo started cursing, someone responded.
Master Zhao Bingzhao flew down from above the valley and stood in front of Du Qingruo.
"Zhao Bingzhao!"
The moment Du Qingruo saw Zhao Bingzhao, she recognized his identity.
After all, the Zhao family's wealth rivaled that of a nation, and the second master of the Zhao family was known for his generosity and generosity.
It's not that the Jieyun Dao didn't want to take action against the Zhao family, but the Zhao family was too conspicuous. If the court hadn't taken action against the Zhao family, if the Zhao family had suffered a major disaster, they would have been surrounded and suppressed by the court.
It was impossible for the imperial court to watch them seize the Zhao family's wealth and spend it at their leisure.
"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Saint!"
Zhao Bingzhao smiled slightly and nodded to Du Qingruo.
"What do you mean?"
Du Qingruo was very puzzled and didn't understand why Zhao Bingzhao appeared here.
As far as she knew, Zhao Bingzhao should be in Sanhe Town, Anshun County, Xiangyi Prefecture, and should be recuperating from his injuries.
But now, thinking of Zhao Bingzhao's calm and unrestrained descent from the top of the ravine, Du Qingruo felt an inexplicable sense of panic. The second master of the Zhao family was actually so secretive.
"It's nothing special. I just came to tell Her Highness the Saint that you've got the Tang Dynasty Dragon Vein's location wrong!"
"impossible!"
Du Qingruo responded sternly.
Zhao Bingzhao continued to smile and said, "Your Highness, think about this. Emperor Taizu even kept his true tomb so secret. How could he possibly allow something as vital to the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, the Dragon Vein, to become known to everyone?"
"True and false, everyone thinks this can't be a real dragon vein, then, this is very likely a real dragon vein!"
"The opposite is also true!"
"What does Her Royal Highness think?"
Zhao Bingzhao said this with a smile and waited for Du Qingruo's response.
Du Qingruo was silent.
After a long while, she spoke slowly, "Then tell me, where is the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Well, Zhao Er is just a businessman, how could he possibly know?"
"The Saint should think about this. Your Sect Master has unfathomable powers, but doesn't he know where the dragon vein is?"
"Are you saying that the Dao Master deliberately asked us to come here?"
"Warfare is the art of deception!"
Zhao Bingzhao spread his hands. "The Way of Disaster has been dormant for a hundred years, and now it's suddenly going to do something that defies the will of Heaven. Hasn't the Saint ever thought that there's something amiss?"
