Titled on the gold list, hit the horse and parade through the streets.
Zhao Yize was thrown to Jiangnan Salt Administration after only one day of glory. To be valued by the emperor is an excellent thing. The most rare thing for a minister is the trust of the emperor.
Even like Zhao Yize, he couldn't help but feel flustered for a while at the beginning.
But when he managed to deal with the matter of the salt administration and seized the time to become a relative, he was sent by the emperor non-stop to inspect the implementation of the national schools in various places.
The National Academy has given the children of ordinary people the opportunity to read and write, and even recruited girls to enroll in school. Zhao Yize can foresee that this event will be enough to change the direction of the future.
In the future, almost all officials will leave the National Academy and enter the imperial court after passing the imperial examination. As the manager of the National Academy, he will definitely benefit from it.
This was a good thing, and it was his dream to be trusted by the emperor when he took the scientific examination. Everything was going well, but in Zhao Yize's spare time, there was always a thought that couldn't be controlled.
I always feel that His Majesty regards him as a useful cornerstone, and he can be stuffed wherever it is needed.
But such a thought was too rebellious, Zhao Yize didn't dare to think about it.
His Majesty relied on him so much, and he speculated so wildly, wouldn't he have failed the holy grace.
When the National Academy was officially on the right track, Zhao Yize was transferred back to the capital with a transfer order.
He was promoted and became prime minister.
The family of Northern Yan Kingdom is the only one, and the previous prime minister was just a puppet of the family, a tool for the family to control the court. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, he sent that prime minister directly to meet the first emperor, and the post of prime minister has been vacant all the time.
Zhao Yize originally thought that the Son of Heaven would allow Wang Muzhi to take the position of Prime Minister. Although the Wang family is also a family, they are confidantes of the Son of Heaven and have always been loyal to the Son of Heaven. Furthermore, based on his understanding of Wang Muzhi, that person would never betray the Son of Heaven.
However, when Zhao Yize asked this question in front of the dragon couch, the weak emperor laughed.
"I have managed to uproot the foundation of the family in the court, and I will definitely not let the family grow bigger."
"Even if this family is currently my confidant."
The white-haired emperor spoke very lightly, his youthful face was very handsome, but his pale complexion remained the same as before.
Zhao Yize was startled, and then suddenly realized that although Wang Muzhi is loyal, but as a family, the Wang family always has people with ulterior motives.
Furthermore, people's hearts are unpredictable, and who knows what the next Patriarch of the Wang family will think, so it is better to cut off this hope from the very beginning than to mend it.
"But..." Zhao Yize's tone was hesitant, "Patriarch Wang, won't he feel estranged from His Majesty because of this?"
Xie Xun smiled, shook his head affirmatively and said, "He won't, if I can think of it, my little uncle can naturally think of it too."
If he really asked Wang Muzhi to let him be the prime minister, Wang Muzhi would escape faster than anyone else.
He was originally an ordinary son of a family, a romantic scholar, if it wasn't for the fact that he was born again after seeing the people's hardships in his previous life, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stepped into the court.
While talking, someone came in from outside.
Zhao Yize looked back and found that it was the protagonist Wang Muzhi in the two mouths, but today's Wang Muzhi was unusual, he was not wearing an official uniform, but a simple blue dress.
"It turns out that His Majesty was talking to Lord Zhao." Wang Muzhi laughed loudly, "No wonder Liu Kang stopped me outside."
He stopped, stood side by side with Zhao Yize, looked sideways at Zhao Yize, "Perhaps it's time to call Master Xiangguo."
"Master Wang is joking." Zhao Yize replied flatly, while cupping his hands in salute.
"From today on, there is no need to say this, Lord Wang." Wang Muzhi said, and then looked at Xie Xun, "I am now a white man."
Zhao Yize was stunned, "This—"
Wang Muzhi raised his eyebrows, "Why, you still don't believe me?"
"Okay, don't waste time." Xie Xun said in a low voice, "I didn't ask you to bring Wang Chengxuan into the palace, but what about others?"
The relaxed look on Wang Muzhi's face dissipated, and a haze even appeared in his eyes, "Uncle asked him to wait outside."
"However, the candidate for the crown prince—" Wang Muzhi paused, "Did His Majesty really decide on him?"
"The candidate for the crown prince?" Zhao Yize looked at Xie Xun in amazement. The court had urged the emperor to get married many times because of the candidate for the crown prince, but every time the proposal was rejected by the emperor.
"I should tell you too." Xie Xun covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. After coughing, he let go of his hand, glanced at the handkerchief, and then held the handkerchief in his palm calmly.
Zhao Yize thought for a long time, but he didn't see any woman getting close to the emperor, let alone a prince.
Unable to understand, he simply asked directly.
"May I ask Your Majesty, where did the candidate for the crown prince come from?"
"Of course it's my only remaining brother." Xie Xun replied.
Zhao Yize was taken aback for a moment, almost subconsciously thinking of the brother who was the same mother as the former crown prince.
Although he had never met the prince, he had heard from Wang Muzhi that the original prince was a man with a honest and gentle personality.
However, Wang Muzhi's evaluation of the former prince was too honest and honest, and he could not achieve great things.
So honest that even if the throne that should belong to him was robbed, he didn't have a trace of anger. Instead, he guarded the imperial tomb honestly without a trace of resentment.
"As you think." Xie Xun could see Zhao Yize's thoughts, "He was not suitable for this position before, but now it's different, Beiyan's domestic worries have been resolved, and foreign troubles have temporarily subsided, he doesn't need to do extra things, as long as Just be a good and unambitious king and you will be successful."
Xie Xun coughed, and said again: "I still have something to say to you."
Zhao Yize cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."
"If he does well, you let him sit. If he doesn't do well, then you can let him live."
"Your Majesty, you—" Zhao Yize was shocked, and looked at Xie Xun.
Xie Xun smiled, and continued: "This capable person includes you."
"Your Majesty knows clearly that I have absolutely no intention of plotting against you." Zhao Yize knelt down.
"It has nothing to do with treason, and I didn't intend to test your loyalty." Xie Xun said lightly, "Dynasty change is a common thing. As long as the people of the Northern Yan Kingdom live in peace, who is sitting on the dragon chair? don't care."
These words did not seem to be false, but the more they were like this, the more uneasy Zhao Yize felt.
Such an order is not like discussing the matter of the crown prince, but more like——
"Your Majesty, your body..." Zhao Yize's expression was incredulous, Xie Xun glanced at him, "Zhao Yize, what I just said is an imperial decree."
"Minister, Zunzhi." Zhao Yize gritted his teeth and knelt down, and said every word.
"Since your Majesty has finished discussing with Lord Xiangguo, shouldn't you call Wang Chengxuan in? That kid is impatient. I think the waiting time will almost dig a hole in the ground." Wang Muzhi's expression remained the same, even after hearing this. A secret decree that is enough to shock everyone in the court.
"Let him come in." Xie Xun looked sideways at Zhao Yize, "Back off."
Zhao Yize felt uneasy, he glanced at the emperor worriedly, but still kowtowed, "I will leave."
Zhao Yize walked out of the emperor's bedroom, and as expected, he saw the young man outside who looked similar to Wang Muzhi walking around the door.
"Lord Zhao!" Wang Chengxuan was overjoyed when he saw the person coming out, and Zhao Yize glanced at him, "Your Majesty told you to go in."
He left without even thinking about greetings after dropping such a sentence. Wang Chengxuan rubbed the back of his head, and when he saw Liu Kang, the chief eunuch at the door of the bedroom, waving at him, he hurried over.
"Go in." Liu Kang said with a straight face, "Your Majesty summoned you."
Although he stayed here for several years, the number of times Wang Chengxuan entered the palace can be counted on five fingers, let alone the emperor's bedroom.
But at this moment, Wang Chengxuan was almost dazzled when he saw the rare furnishings in the bedroom. In their era, this was a room full of antiques, and they were priceless.
Wang Chengxuan, who was sighing so much, never thought that the things used by the emperor are priceless treasures even now.
"Wang Chengxuan, wipe your drool, how decent is it in front of His Majesty?" Wang Muzhi glanced at Wang Chengxuan who was about to drool, frowned and scolded.
Subconsciously, Wang Chengxuan wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and found that the sleeves were clean and there was no saliva. When he saw Wang Muzhi's appearance, he immediately reacted and quickly saluted Xie Xun.
"The grass people have seen His Majesty, but I don't know what it means for His Majesty to let the grass people enter the palace?"
"Do you still want to go back?" Xie Xun asked
"Naturally. After all, Caomin's relatives were all in that era." Wang Chengxuan replied without hesitation.
"In this case, then prepare yourself." Xie Xun closed his eyes, "On the day the imperial tomb was opened, I granted you permission to enter, but the imperial tomb is not allowed to enter, if you can't find a way to go back, then there is only a dead end one."
"Even if it is a dead end, the grass people want to try." Wang Chengxuan looked firm, because the opportunity for him to go back must be in the imperial tomb.
but--
Wang Chengxuan reacted and said in surprise, "But why did you suddenly open the imperial tomb? Didn't your majesty say that you are the only one..."
"Shut up." Wang Muzhi interrupted Wang Chengxuan, "You are not allowed to curse Your Majesty with crow mouth."
"Little uncle." Xie Xun said helplessly, "Whether to curse or not, no one knows my body better than me."
Wang Chengxuan opened his mouth wide in surprise, and stammered: "It's hard... Could it be that Your Majesty—"
Wang Chengxuan originally thought that history had changed completely. After all, the chaos of the family was gone, the leaders of the rebel army were all kidnapped to work, and the Northern Yan Kingdom did not go to extinction as it did in history.
Everything is moving in a good direction, but Wang Chengxuan never thought that, with so many things changed, this historical tyrant would still die in his early 20s.
The people on the dragon bed had lost their voices. Wang Muzhi made a gesture to ask Wang Chengxuan to keep quiet, and then led him out of the bedroom.
"Old ancestor, is there no other way?" Wang Chengxuan couldn't help asking after leaving the bedroom.
In the past few years in Beiyan Kingdom, he could feel that this famous tyrant in history was not as bloodthirsty as described in history books for no reason. Apart from the criticized autocracy, he was undoubtedly A Mingjun.
"No one knows better than His Majesty." Wang Muzhi's eyes were extremely calm, "You go back and prepare, and I will go in to accompany Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Wang Chengxuan nodded, took two steps, and couldn't help turning his head again, "Old Ancestor, you...don't be too uncomfortable, after all life and death are destiny."
"Uncomfortable?" Wang Muzhi twitched the corners of his lips, "Why is it uncomfortable? The Wang family is His Majesty's confidantes. I am loyal to His Majesty. Naturally, wherever His Majesty is, the Wang family will be there."
Wang Chengxuan didn't understand what he meant, but under Wang Muzhi's disgusting and urging gaze, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
Wang Muzhi returned to the palace, the bright yellow silk quilt was lightly covered on the white-haired emperor, the emperor's face was so pale that there was no trace of vitality.
"It would have been nice if my little uncle had studied medicine in the first place, so he wouldn't be helpless against His Majesty's illness every time." Wang Muzhi smiled wryly, "After living two lives, he still lives in a mess."
Xie Xun opened his eyes very slowly, "Didn't you already change the future of Beiyan Kingdom, and it's not like you're living in a mess."
In the past few years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Wang Muzhi is naturally not as naive and deceitful as before, "If His Majesty didn't do it on purpose, how can I persuade His Majesty."
The person on the bed chuckled softly, and then gradually fell silent.
Wang Muzhi was stunned for a long time before he knelt down slowly.
"Your Majesty, go slowly."
With a bang, the sky that was already covered by dark clouds began to rain lightly.
Just as Wang Chengxuan walked to the gate of the palace, he heard the sound of drums. The sound of drums was thick and exciting, but there was a hint of sadness in it, again and again.
Wang Chengxuan stood in the same place, counting the drums silently, a total of 27 times. He had read the Northern Yan State Chronicle in Wang's study, and three drums represented the death of the queen or queen mother, and 27 times, only when the emperor died will -
From the corner of his eyes, Wang Chengxuan saw that the guards on duty at the gate of the palace were already kneeling on the ground, and he looked back in disbelief.
He was obviously still talking to him just now.
Zhao Yize had only just returned to the mansion, and the moment he stepped into the mansion, he heard the sound of horns sounding over the capital the next second.
The emperor died, and the whole city was under martial law.
"Master Xiangguo." The leader of the Black Eagle Guard who came on horseback got off his horse, and he took off his burden and handed it to Zhao Yize.
"You left too fast, and you forgot to take something."
Zhao Yize reached out to take it, "What is it—"
Zhao Yize's hand stopped untying the bundle, and saw a piece of bright yellow from the exposed corner of the bundle. With the feel of his hand, Zhao Yize almost immediately realized that what he was holding was an imperial decree, and when he contacted the sound of the horn, his heart was shocked.
"Your Majesty he..."
"I also hope that Lord Xiangguo will not forget His Majesty's entrustment." The one-eyed man interrupted him, pointing out something.
After the one-eyed man said this, he rode away again. Zhao Yize held his bundle for a long time before he staggered into the mansion.
"Master, are you back?" The elegant woman walked out with two maids, the moment she saw Zhao Yize, her expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to catch the bag that fell from Zhao Yize's hands, while looking at the maidservants. The person who held on.
"Sir, why are you vomiting blood?"
"Don't worry." Zhao Yize wiped the blood from his mouth, "It's just that I firmly believe that my enlightened master has gone, and my heart was shocked for a while."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then felt that the things in her hand were taken away.
"I still keep this thing for my husband." Zhao Yize's eyebrows were extremely pale, "I don't want to use it, I hope the one who will come back soon understands."
The tomb was suspended for seven days, and then the imperial mausoleum was opened.
Since his birth, the emperor, who was regarded as unknown because of his white hair, will be buried in the depths of the underground palace forever.
Wang Chengxuan entered the underground palace together with the coffin. The coffin was made of thousand-year-old cold jade that Wang Muzhi had found from nowhere. It was exactly the same as the jade coffin he had seen before traveling.
Wang family.
Wang Chengxuan didn't expect that what Wang Muzhi said that day was actually with this idea in mind, that he would make the entire royal family become guardians of the imperial tomb.
It can't be because of the archaeology he said before that Wang Muzhi came up with this idea... right?
Wang Chengxuan thought with some doubts, and always felt that it was possible. After all, although he emphasized many times, the reason why he entered the mausoleum was to search for more information so as to understand that dynasty.
However, Wang Muzhi firmly believed that he disturbed the tomb owner's sleep, and he was no different from a tomb robber.
The roar of a boulder falling to the ground interrupted Wang Chengxuan's distraction. He knew that the Dragon-Breaking Stone outside had been lowered. The imperial mausoleum had been closed, and he had no way out. If he couldn't go back, he would be suffocated to death in this underground palace.
That would really be a martyrdom.
Wang Chengxuan didn't dare to delay any longer. He walked to the jade coffin. The inside of the jade coffin was filled with cold air, and the figure inside could be seen faintly.
Wang Chengxuan raised his hand, and after making sufficient mental preparations, he bit his index finger hard. After a while, a little blood appeared from the teeth marks.
He originally wanted to bring a dagger with him, but when he entered the imperial tomb, it was confiscated by the leader of the Black Eagle Guard.
Wang Chengxuan stretched out his bloody hand and slowly pressed it towards the jade coffin. The moment he was about to touch, a big hand grabbed his wrist fiercely.
"What are you going to do with His Majesty's coffin?"
Looking at the one-eyed man in front of him, Wang Chengxuan was startled: "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come in, don't you desecrate His Majesty's coffin." The one-eyed man pulled Wang Chengxuan away through gritted teeth.
"But only in this way can I go back." Wang Chengxuan broke the jar and said. "To be honest, before I transmigrated, I came across this jade coffin by mistake, but I didn't know the owner of the jade coffin would be..."
"That's not allowed, your blood will pollute the place where His Majesty sleeps." The one-eyed man stopped in front of the jade coffin, took off his personal sword and stood it in front of him.
"Unless I die before you, don't even try to get close."
"But your master agreed with me to come in to find a chance to go home." Wang Chengxuan was devastated, "And how did you come in? Isn't the Imperial Tomb closed?"
"It's closed." The one-eyed man glanced at Wang Chengxuan, "As for why I'm here, the Black Eagle Guard is His Majesty's guard, and as the leader of the Black Eagle Guard, he is naturally following His Majesty."
Isn't this sending you to death?
Wang Chengxuan was dumbfounded, "It's just crazy."
He simply couldn't understand the extreme idea of the ancients for burial.
In his opinion, even working for the emperor is just a kind of part-time job. Who would die part-time because the boss died?
The one-eyed man ignored him. He clasped his hands above the hilt of his sword, and stood in front of the jade coffin like a stone statue, as if nothing could keep him away.
However, the air in the underground palace became thinner and thinner, and after such a short delay, Wang Chengxuan already felt that it was difficult to breathe.
If it drags on, he will definitely die here.
Wang Chengxuan gritted his teeth, remembered something, his eyes lit up, "How about we make a deal?"
The voice echoed in the underground palace, but the one-eyed man didn't even open his eyes.
Wang Chengxuan was a little discouraged, but continued to speak, "Before I crossed over, I learned a spirit-gathering formation from the master, which allows you to consciously guard this imperial tomb after death. You must know that I came from later generations, and later generations recorded, Most of the imperial tombs have been visited by tomb robbers."
"You're definitely not losing out on this deal, and I didn't intend to do anything else. It's just a fingerprint. Even if it's stained with blood, it can be wiped off immediately."
"Okay." The leader of the Black Eagle Guard opened his eyes, "Go ahead."
Wang Chengxuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that what he had learned in a moment of curiosity would bring him back to life, he quickly told the one-eyed man about the spirit-gathering formation, and helped arrange the spirit-gathering formation.
Several pieces of jade were needed to arrange the array, but fortunately there were a lot of jade in the funeral objects, and the coffin in the center was made of thousand-year-old cold jade, so it must have enough spiritual energy, so it was perfect for restraining the spirit-gathering array.
At the moment when the formation was completed, the two people who were struggling to breathe were both physically and mentally comfortable. The one-eyed man noticed this change, and the color of his eyes changed again and again.
"It seems that you are not lying to me."
He moved a step aside, Wang Chengxuan pointed to the jade coffin, "Can I try it?"
The one-eyed man didn't speak, Wang Chengxuan took it as his acquiescence, and after bleeding his index finger again, he stretched out his hand and slowly pressed towards the jade coffin.
This time no one stopped him, Wang Chengxuan pressed on the jade coffin smoothly, the icy chill rushed to the whole body along the palm of his hand, Wang Chengxuan shivered from the cold, and then a familiar feeling of dizziness came, Wang Chengxuan instantly Lost consciousness.
In the underground palace, a white light blazed, and when the white light disappeared, the young man who looked similar to Wang Muzhi had disappeared.
The one-eyed man hurriedly looked towards the place on the jade coffin touched by Wang Chengxuan's hand, and saw that there was no trace of blood there, so he was relieved.
"Fortunately it wasn't dirty." However, seeing Wang Chengxuan touched it with his bloody finger, the one-eyed man still wanted to wipe it off, but he stretched out his hand only to realize that he was wearing armor, so he gave up.
The one-eyed man walked down the steps, plunged his sword into the ground, and rested his hands on the hilt. Even though he knew that he was about to face death, his only eye was fearless.
Where my Lord sleeps is where I will guard forever.

In the past few years in Beiyan Kingdom, he could feel that this famous tyrant in history was not as bloodthirsty as described in history books for no reason. Apart from the criticized autocracy, he was undoubtedly A Mingjun.
"No one knows better than His Majesty." Wang Muzhi's eyes were extremely calm, "You go back and prepare, and I will go in to accompany Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Wang Chengxuan nodded, took two steps, and couldn't help turning his head again, "Old Ancestor, you...don't be too uncomfortable, after all life and death are destiny."
"Uncomfortable?" Wang Muzhi twitched the corners of his lips, "Why is it uncomfortable? The Wang family is His Majesty's confidantes. I am loyal to His Majesty. Naturally, wherever His Majesty is, the Wang family will be there."
Wang Chengxuan didn't understand what he meant, but under Wang Muzhi's disgusting and urging gaze, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
Wang Muzhi returned to the palace, the bright yellow silk quilt was lightly covered on the white-haired emperor, the emperor's face was so pale that there was no trace of vitality.
"It would have been nice if my little uncle had studied medicine in the first place, so he wouldn't be helpless against His Majesty's illness every time." Wang Muzhi smiled wryly, "After living two lives, he still lives in a mess."
Xie Xun opened his eyes very slowly, "Didn't you already change the future of Beiyan Kingdom, and it's not like you're living in a mess."
In the past few years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Wang Muzhi is naturally not as naive and deceitful as before, "If His Majesty didn't do it on purpose, how can I persuade His Majesty."
The person on the bed chuckled softly, and then gradually fell silent.
Wang Muzhi was stunned for a long time before he knelt down slowly.
"Your Majesty, go slowly."
With a bang, the sky that was already covered by dark clouds began to rain lightly.
Just as Wang Chengxuan walked to the gate of the palace, he heard the sound of drums. The sound of drums was thick and exciting, but there was a hint of sadness in it, again and again.
Wang Chengxuan stood in the same place, counting the drums silently, a total of 27 times. He had read the Northern Yan State Chronicle in Wang's study, and three drums represented the death of the queen or queen mother, and 27 times, only when the emperor died will -
From the corner of his eyes, Wang Chengxuan saw that the guards on duty at the gate of the palace were already kneeling on the ground, and he looked back in disbelief.
He was obviously still talking to him just now.
Zhao Yize had only just returned to the mansion, and the moment he stepped into the mansion, he heard the sound of horns sounding over the capital the next second.
The emperor died, and the whole city was under martial law.
"Master Xiangguo." The leader of the Black Eagle Guard who came on horseback got off his horse, and he took off his burden and handed it to Zhao Yize.
"You left too fast, and you forgot to take something."
Zhao Yize reached out to take it, "What is it—"
Zhao Yize's hand stopped untying the bundle, and saw a piece of bright yellow from the exposed corner of the bundle. With the feel of his hand, Zhao Yize almost immediately realized that what he was holding was an imperial decree, and when he contacted the sound of the horn, his heart was shocked.
"Your Majesty he..."
"I also hope that Lord Xiangguo will not forget His Majesty's entrustment." The one-eyed man interrupted him, pointing out something.
After the one-eyed man said this, he rode away again. Zhao Yize held his bundle for a long time before he staggered into the mansion.
"Master, are you back?" The elegant woman walked out with two maids, the moment she saw Zhao Yize, her expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to catch the bag that fell from Zhao Yize's hands, while looking at the maidservants. The person who held on.
"Sir, why are you vomiting blood?"
"Don't worry." Zhao Yize wiped the blood from his mouth, "It's just that I firmly believe that my enlightened master has gone, and my heart was shocked for a while."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then felt that the things in her hand were taken away.
"I still keep this thing for my husband." Zhao Yize's eyebrows were extremely pale, "I don't want to use it, I hope the one who will come back soon understands."
The tomb was suspended for seven days, and then the imperial mausoleum was opened.
Since his birth, the emperor, who was regarded as unknown because of his white hair, will be buried in the depths of the underground palace forever.
Wang Chengxuan entered the underground palace together with the coffin. The coffin was made of thousand-year-old cold jade that Wang Muzhi had found from nowhere. It was exactly the same as the jade coffin he had seen before traveling.
Wang family.
Wang Chengxuan didn't expect that what Wang Muzhi said that day was actually with this idea in mind, that he would make the entire royal family become guardians of the imperial tomb.
It can't be because of the archaeology he said before that Wang Muzhi came up with this idea... right?
Wang Chengxuan thought with some doubts, and always felt that it was possible. After all, although he emphasized many times, the reason why he entered the mausoleum was to search for more information so as to understand that dynasty.
However, Wang Muzhi firmly believed that he disturbed the tomb owner's sleep, and he was no different from a tomb robber.
The roar of a boulder falling to the ground interrupted Wang Chengxuan's distraction. He knew that the Dragon-Breaking Stone outside had been lowered. The imperial mausoleum had been closed, and he had no way out. If he couldn't go back, he would be suffocated to death in this underground palace.
That would really be a martyrdom.
Wang Chengxuan didn't dare to delay any longer. He walked to the jade coffin. The inside of the jade coffin was filled with cold air, and the figure inside could be seen faintly.
Wang Chengxuan raised his hand, and after making sufficient mental preparations, he bit his index finger hard. After a while, a little blood appeared from the teeth marks.
He originally wanted to bring a dagger with him, but when he entered the imperial tomb, it was confiscated by the leader of the Black Eagle Guard.
Wang Chengxuan stretched out his bloody hand and slowly pressed it towards the jade coffin. The moment he was about to touch, a big hand grabbed his wrist fiercely.
"What are you going to do with His Majesty's coffin?"
Looking at the one-eyed man in front of him, Wang Chengxuan was startled: "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come in, don't you desecrate His Majesty's coffin." The one-eyed man pulled Wang Chengxuan away through gritted teeth.
"But only in this way can I go back." Wang Chengxuan broke the jar and said. "To be honest, before I transmigrated, I came across this jade coffin by mistake, but I didn't know the owner of the jade coffin would be..."
"That's not allowed, your blood will pollute the place where His Majesty sleeps." The one-eyed man stopped in front of the jade coffin, took off his personal sword and stood it in front of him.
"Unless I die before you, don't even try to get close."
"But your master agreed with me to come in to find a chance to go home." Wang Chengxuan was devastated, "And how did you come in? Isn't the Imperial Tomb closed?"
"It's closed." The one-eyed man glanced at Wang Chengxuan, "As for why I'm here, the Black Eagle Guard is His Majesty's guard, and as the leader of the Black Eagle Guard, he is naturally following His Majesty."
Isn't this sending you to death?
Wang Chengxuan was dumbfounded, "It's just crazy."
He simply couldn't understand the extreme idea of the ancients for burial.
In his opinion, even working for the emperor is just a kind of part-time job. Who would die part-time because the boss died?
The one-eyed man ignored him. He clasped his hands above the hilt of his sword, and stood in front of the jade coffin like a stone statue, as if nothing could keep him away.
However, the air in the underground palace became thinner and thinner, and after such a short delay, Wang Chengxuan already felt that it was difficult to breathe.
If it drags on, he will definitely die here.
Wang Chengxuan gritted his teeth, remembered something, his eyes lit up, "How about we make a deal?"
The voice echoed in the underground palace, but the one-eyed man didn't even open his eyes.
Wang Chengxuan was a little discouraged, but continued to speak, "Before I crossed over, I learned a spirit-gathering formation from the master, which allows you to consciously guard this imperial tomb after death. You must know that I came from later generations, and later generations recorded, Most of the imperial tombs have been visited by tomb robbers."
"You're definitely not losing out on this deal, and I didn't intend to do anything else. It's just a fingerprint. Even if it's stained with blood, it can be wiped off immediately."
"Okay." The leader of the Black Eagle Guard opened his eyes, "Go ahead."
Wang Chengxuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that what he had learned in a moment of curiosity would bring him back to life, he quickly told the one-eyed man about the spirit-gathering formation, and helped arrange the spirit-gathering formation.
Several pieces of jade were needed to arrange the array, but fortunately there were a lot of jade in the funeral objects, and the coffin in the center was made of thousand-year-old cold jade, so it must have enough spiritual energy, so it was perfect for restraining the spirit-gathering array.
At the moment when the formation was completed, the two people who were struggling to breathe were both physically and mentally comfortable. The one-eyed man noticed this change, and the color of his eyes changed again and again.
"It seems that you are not lying to me."
He moved a step aside, Wang Chengxuan pointed to the jade coffin, "Can I try it?"
The one-eyed man didn't speak, Wang Chengxuan took it as his acquiescence, and after bleeding his index finger again, he stretched out his hand and slowly pressed towards the jade coffin.
This time no one stopped him, Wang Chengxuan pressed on the jade coffin smoothly, the icy chill rushed to the whole body along the palm of his hand, Wang Chengxuan shivered from the cold, and then a familiar feeling of dizziness came, Wang Chengxuan instantly Lost consciousness.
In the underground palace, a white light blazed, and when the white light disappeared, the young man who looked similar to Wang Muzhi had disappeared.
The one-eyed man hurriedly looked towards the place on the jade coffin touched by Wang Chengxuan's hand, and saw that there was no trace of blood there, so he was relieved.
"Fortunately it wasn't dirty." However, seeing Wang Chengxuan touched it with his bloody finger, the one-eyed man still wanted to wipe it off, but he stretched out his hand only to realize that he was wearing armor, so he gave up.
The one-eyed man walked down the steps, plunged his sword into the ground, and rested his hands on the hilt. Even though he knew that he was about to face death, his only eye was fearless.
Where my Lord sleeps is where I will guard forever.
