Rebirth: Lie down with the system

Chapter 196 The Underground Palace Reappears

And in the face of such a natural disaster, even Mo was powerless to stop it.

The only thing he could do was to protect the person he cared about most in his life.

Jun Laiwu has been locked to the bed by him since he turned into a mermaid. Without legs and without a mermaid to guide him, Jun Laiwu can't even get out of bed.

Duan Yu felt emotional when he saw Jun Laiwu crying on the mural.

Although Jun Laiwu was abominable for betraying Mo, if he was locked in bed...

He couldn't help but shudder.

Mo held Jun Laiwu in his arms with a serious and anxious look on his face, forming a big bubble around him, blocking the huge rocks and trees, and bringing people to this underground palace.

He had his clansmen build this palace for his marriage to Jun Laiwu. The palace was not very big, and because it was inside the mountain, as long as he put down the Dragon-Breaking Stone, the palace would be enough to block the mountain torrents outside. When everything calmed down, there was an underground river inside the palace, and he could then bring people out.

Jun Laiwu naturally didn't know what Mo was thinking at that time.

He only saw the mountain torrents rushing past them, rocks and giant trees hitting Mo's protective shield, the halo was gradually weakening, and some mermaids were protecting the humans and holding on to the big trees, but looking at their pale faces, they might not be able to hold on for long.

He looked up at Mo, and complicated feelings emerged in his heart.

Now he can no longer clearly explain what kind of feelings he has for Mo.

Mo carried Jun Laiwu into the palace.

The building is simple and quaint, and apart from some stone carvings, it does not look luxurious at all.

However, after entering the inner hall, Mo pushed open a heavy stone door. The layout inside the hall was exactly the same as his bedroom.

Jun Laiwu looked at Mo in surprise.

Although he could not stay with him as the emperor, he was still very grateful to Mo for protecting him along the way. So when Mo committed the crime, his first reaction was to protect Mo, so he sent him to the Heavenly Prison.

He thought Mo turned him into a mermaid to take revenge on him, but now it seems that Mo's feelings for him are so heavy that he can't bear it.

Jun Laiwu was gently placed on the bed, and Mo's big hand gently stroked his face, brushing the hair hanging on his forehead behind his ears.

He was very reluctant.

I can't bear to kill this person, but I can't bear to leave this person either.

He somewhat understood Jun Laiwu's choice.

He hated Jun Laiwu for abandoning him and choosing that woman, so he killed her, but he had never thought about it from Jun Laiwu's perspective.

As an emperor, he values ​​bloodline for the sake of national stability and the continuation of the dynasty. Even if Jun Laiwu doesn't want it, others will force him to have it.

Just like what he is facing now.

He couldn't just stand by and watch as his people suffered. Even if he had to pay a price, those people were his responsibility.

As if sensing his uneasiness, Jun Laiwu looked at him solemnly. Thinking of the situation outside, he knew that he would never be as important as his people in this person's heart!

Feeling dizzy for a moment, Jun Laiwu closed his eyes and kissed the ink.

He didn't know whether Mo could come back safely, so this time he would just consider it as repaying him for saving his life. After this, no matter whether Mo comes back or not, they would owe each other nothing!

Duan Yu looked at the two fish tails entwined and kissing each other on the mural.

His face turned slightly red and he secretly glanced at Murong Li beside him. These ancient people were really bold. They even painted these things on the rock wall and displayed them. They were so shameless!

Feeling his gaze, Murong Li smiled knowingly. This man was still so shy.

The paintings on the rock wall have become very blurry and there is basically nothing to see.

Murong Li took Duan Yu's hand and continued to walk inside.

The deeper we go, the road gradually becomes wider.

Then they arrived in front of a large stone gate.

Just like the wealthy families in Kyoto, there is a stone lion guarding on both sides of the door, and a carved stone lantern on the top. The lantern is still lit, which makes Duan Yu suspect that the lamp oil inside is the corpse oil of the mermaid. Otherwise, why has it not been extinguished after so many years?

Duan Yu shuddered as he looked at the lantern. Previously, the underground palace in the mural had been decorated with lights and looked very festive, but now the more he looked at it, the more it looked like a tomb, which made him feel creepy.

But think about it, Emperor Jun Laiwu lived two hundred years ago, and now this underground palace is a veritable ancient tomb.

On the stone gate, there is a simple stone statue of a mermaid carved into it. After years of baptism, it still reveals its inviolable majesty and sacredness.

This underground palace was originally built as a residence for Mo Wei and the other two, so naturally, it would not have many traps set up to prevent theft like those ancient tombs.

Therefore, Murong Li pushed open the stone door very easily.

After a burst of dust and the sound of friction, the dusty underground palace opened again.

Duan Yu looked inside curiously.

He hasn't finished reading the story on the mural, and he doesn't know whether Mo went out and successfully rescued his tribesmen. What was the final outcome between him and Jun Laiwu?

When the dust settled, the scene inside the hall appeared clearly in front of the two people.

The four walls are made of solid rock. The flickering candlelight or faint light shining from above adds a bit of warmth and mystery to this dark space.

The corridors inside the underground palace are winding, spacious and bright. The walls are inlaid with various beads and shells, which sparkle alluringly in the faint light, making people involuntarily intoxicated.

In the middle of the underground palace, there is a large pool, in which a group of little mermaids are carved. Each of them is chubby and lively, playing with each other and spraying water from their mouths. They look so adorable and make people happy.

While Duan Yu was still looking at the mermaid babies, Murong Li had quickly checked the entire palace to confirm that there was no danger and that no one lived here anymore.

Seeing Duan Yu admiring the pearls and shells at this moment, Murong Li's eyes flashed, and he saw him quickly return to the door of a stone chamber.

What he is looking for should be behind this stone door...

Murong Li took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

There are several tall bookshelves leaning against the mountain. In front of the bookshelves, there is a futon on the ground and a desk with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

On the other side was a large wooden cabinet containing medicinal materials, and in the small stone room next to it was a copper furnace half a person's height, with many small medicine bottles on the shelf nearby.

Murong Li was delighted, it seemed this was the place!

He did not immediately look for the medicinal materials for the elixir, but quickly flipped through the books and notes.

Some of them he put down after taking a quick look at them, and some of them he put into his space ring.

After searching the bookshelf, he entered the alchemy room.

There were many medicine bottles, each with the name of the medicine on it, which made it easier for him to find them. But in order to make sure nothing was missed, he still opened each bottle and smelled it. However, most of them were for treating external injuries, and there was nothing he wanted...

After searching through the medicine shelves and medicine cabinets, Murong Li's eyes became gloomy and his brows furrowed.

Is it gone?

Murong Li felt depressed as he looked at the copper furnace.

After a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

He quickly opened the medicine cauldron.
