Lanterns all over the city are not as good as you

Chapter 38 Southern Wei Imperial Mausoleum

The two walked to the deeper tomb passage, and sure enough, they saw the same large tomb as before. The only difference was that there was a jade coffin in the middle of it, "Wen Yu coffin."

Wu Lin looked at the place in front of him. This should be the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Back then, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty searched all over the world for precious jade to build this pair of warm jade coffins. The specifications of the tombs of the later generations surpassed his, but it was a pity that after the later generations built their tombs in his place, he became the gatekeeper for the descendants.

Wu Lin and Ke Yu found that a tomb was surrounded by walls, and there was no exit except for the place where they just entered. No matter how they knocked on the surrounding walls, there was only a thick and dull sound. There is no secret door anymore.

"Here, how do we go?"

Ke Yu searched around again and again but found no mechanism. It seemed that it was really the end here, and there was nowhere for them to continue down.

...

Wei Xuanzhen had already set up a tent outside the imperial mausoleum, and the two of them had been in for a whole night, and there was still no movement. Could it be that they died at the hands of Xi Ronghu?But after thinking about it again, according to Ke Yu's skills, he would die with the tiger at most, and there were people assisting him. Maybe the two of them are still alive. "You stay here to guard, and I will go back to court first."

Wei Xuanzhen placed heavy troops outside the imperial mausoleum, and rushed back to the court by himself. It is impossible for him to spend so much time here with these people who may die at any time. Now the main thing is to find a way to take down Xirong as soon as possible.

Speaking of the two people who were still in the tomb, after searching many times, they still couldn't find any traps on the surrounding walls. Finally, Wu Lin turned his gaze back to the Wen Yu coffin in the middle of the tomb. It is possible that this Wen Yu coffin.

"Sorry for the offense."

Wu Lin and Ke Yu worked together to push the lid of the jade coffin away, and saw that the first Southern Wei emperor inside was now only a skeleton, and there was nothing in it, only those who were buried with him The products are dazzling there, telling the great achievements of the former king.

Wu Lin stretched out his hand to feel in the jade coffin, and sure enough, he found a hidden compartment. He pressed down hard, and the jade coffin moved aside by itself, revealing a secret passage below.

"Let's go."

Wu Lin took the torch and was about to go down, but was stopped by Ke Yu, who immediately extinguished the torch as soon as he threw it into the secret passage.

"This secret passage has been stagnant for many years, if a person enters it, he will be unable to breathe and fall inside, once he falls inside, there will be no chance to come out again.

Ke Yu took Wu Lin and waited here. As long as the Qi inside is ventilated for a period of time, it will heal naturally. Burning, "Lin'er," Ke Yu stretched out his hand and led Wu Lin into the dark passage carefully.

Wu Lin still sighed in his heart that the people who built this place were so thoughtful, and who would be wary of such a secret passage that appeared so easily, if a large army came in, this secret passage would kill countless people silently.

"Lin'er, we're here."

The two of them walked through the long tomb passage and came to a place that didn't seem like a mausoleum. There was still light coming in through the holes on the top. Plants grew all around the walls. The coffin, the peach tree is still blooming in this bottomless mausoleum.

"Woo~woo~"

Wu Lin was startled, there were still people crying in this mausoleum, he wanted to hear where it came from, but he only felt that she was all around him, or that there should be people around him and Ke Yu , but there are only the two of them in this huge mausoleum, and there are no more living things.

"Peach trees get rid of ghosts, and peach trees attract ghosts."

Ke Yu held the hand tighter. In fact, he was still a little apprehensive. He had been in the army for many years, and naturally his hands were already covered with blood. I don’t know how many people died in his hands. He personally Killed an unknown number of lives.

Wu Lin just smiled, he never believed in this kind of ghosts and gods, since the ghost village didn't believe it, now the peach tree beckoning ghosts naturally doesn't believe it even more.

"Are you afraid?"

He felt that Ke Yu's hand hurt a little, and he didn't let him let go, but his face suddenly changed when he turned around, "Ke Yu! Give me my life back!"

"Don't make trouble."

Ke Yu lightly patted Wu Lin on the head, and when Wu Lin interrupted, the fear in his heart dissipated a little.

"You're just scared."

Wu Lin didn't react at all to his crying here, as long as the Xi Ronghu didn't come out like just now, such pretentious things would never frighten him, all the ghosts in this world are more terrifying than them only with human hearts.

Wu Lin pulled out his hand and rubbed it, "Don't be afraid, see that the prince will catch ghosts for you today."

Wu Lin picked up a stone and threw it beside the peach tree, and a burst of arrows shot out from the crack of the stone, but it was a pity that Wu Lin was only far away, and walked over after the arrow stopped. Turning side to side and turning back and forth, finally seemed to be sure of something, took the thing in the middle of the peach tree, only a beam of light was left weakly shooting down from the top of the tomb where there was a lot of light.

"Look,"

Wu Lin shook the mirror in his hand, the entire tomb is like a mirror, starting from the one in the peach tree, let the only beam of light shine down, and then refracted on the entire tomb, passing through the mirrors in it That's why the tomb looks like the outside.

"Then what about the ghost that Lin'er caught?"

"My general, don't worry."

Wu Lin asked Ke Yu to help him carry the coffin under the tree aside, and some insects immediately crawled away from under the coffin and quickly ran into the cracks in the surrounding stones.

Wu Lin took the torch in Ke Yu's hand, and threw it directly under the peach tree. In an instant, the fire directly wrapped the whole peach tree, and the whining sound seemed to be struggling constantly in the fire. Ke Yu watched the peach tree burn continuously until it finally turned into a dead wood.

Wu Lin pulled Ke Yu to the side of the tree and kicked the root of the tree hard, and felt a cool wind blowing up directly from below, "The inside of this peach tree has been hollowed out into various small holes, I think This should not have been done by the emperor or the others, it should have been made by the worms that grew in it." Wu Lin glanced at the coffin in front of him, "As for this coffin, it should be Wei Xuanqi, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and this peach tree is only for him. It’s just a mourning for my deceased wife, Zhao Tao.”

Wei Xuanqi was the most useless emperor in the entire history of emperors in the Southern Wei Dynasty, but he should also be the most affectionate emperor.

After being in office for 13 years, after the death of the empress Zhao Tao, lovesickness became ill, and she couldn't afford it. After a few years, she went with the empress. She had only one wife in her life, and she planted peach trees all over the palace in the back. Putting on his love for his wife, and because the emperor and the empress could not be buried in the same mausoleum, he ordered someone to plant a peach tree next to his coffin, and personally set up this hundred mirrors to make the peach tree prosperous, but now it is over. After so many years, the peach tree has been eaten by insects and is empty inside.

"As for the peach blossoms,"

Wu Lin looked at the peach blossoms that had fallen on the coffin, "It might be the last time this peach tree blooms."

"Where did Lin'er know this?"

Ke Yu listened to Wu Lin tell the story, there are no ghosts here, some are just an infatuated person in the emperor's house.

"My mother also said back then that she also wanted to be like Zhao Tao and Wei Xuanqi with her father, but after all, time is not forgiving. Zhao Tao left Wei Xuanqi when Wei Xuanqi loved her the most. What is left to Wei Xuanqi is forever. Zhao Tao was at the most beautiful time, but after the mother's empress got old and faded, the father began to accept concubines by himself."

Wu Lin sighed, it's a pity that there are very few people in this world who plant peaches all over the place just to miss one person.

"Lin'er, I won't let you down."

"I know, I've always believed."

The lanterns in Yangzhou City that day, and the lanterns brought for him by the whole house, had convinced him that he was much luckier than his mother. Although he did not have peach trees everywhere, he had his own lanterns all over the city.
