Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

"The third tasker burned down the temple and fled with the princess. He was also the one who escaped the longest. But after escaping, he found that after leaving the underground palace, the princess' body could not transform. He could only escort the princess back. However, not long after he appeared there, those people appeared again.

This time, the princess was only three minutes away from completing her transformation, and the high-level tasker could control her body to complete the task, but Chu Aotian refined the princess' body first."

Shen Mo frowned: Why can't the princess leave the underground palace? Is she buried in the ground to get in touch with the earth? Or is there something in this underground palace?

Shen Mo is a man of action. If he can't figure out something, he will go and see.

"Fat Cat, don't let me find the location of the underground palace by myself, let's save time. You don't want me to die here, do you?"

Originally Shen Mo thought that he would have to spend some more time talking, but immediately, a topographic map of the ancient temple appeared in his mind, with the location of the underground palace marked on it.

Shen Mo stepped out of the room. It was dark outside. The bluestone slabs in the courtyard of the ancient temple were cracked, and green grass grew out of the gaps, competing with the bluestone slabs for space.

Shen Mo walked directly towards the main hall of the ancient temple.

In the center of the main hall, there was a large Buddha sitting on a lotus platform. The Buddha was in the shape of a woman with a solemn face. Shen Mo just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he knocked on the ground.

Seeing that he could not see anything, he ran to the table and touched it one by one, but there was nothing unusual. Finally, his eyes fell on the raised hand of the Buddha.

He climbed onto the table and pulled the Buddha's hand.

The Buddha's hand was pulled, and a pitch-black hole soon appeared on the ground.

Shen Mo lit the oil lamp on the table and walked downstairs holding the lamp.

When they reached a certain distance, the eternal lamps in the underground palace lit up one by one, and soon the corridor was illuminated. The door to the underground palace was at the end of the corridor.

Shen Mo came to the door, fumbled for a while, found the mechanism and pressed it.

The stone door opened, and all the eternal lamps inside were lit up one by one, as if an induction system was installed.

Shen Mo couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients.

The stone chamber is not big, about the same size as the main hall above, with a coffin placed in the middle. The coffin is surrounded by a circular river, but if you get closer you can find that the river is not filled with water, but mercury.

Under the illumination of the eternal lights all around, it looks like the Milky Way in the sky.

Shen Mo stepped across the Milky Way and came to the sarcophagus.

The entire coffin is emerald green in color, and feels as warm as jade and has the texture of an old tree.

Shen Mo moved the coffin lid open with force and saw a veiled woman lying inside.

After hundreds of years, the woman in the coffin was wearing an ancient costume, her exposed skin was so delicate that it seemed as if it could be blown away. Her skin was sickly pale, as if she was still asleep.

Shen Mo turned on the microscopic glasses.

At this time, he saw more clearly that there were wisps of light green air in the coffin, rushing towards the woman. Could this be the force of life?

If so, this coffin is a good thing!

"Fat Cat, do you know where the coffin at the back is? Did Chu Aotian still let the princess lie in this coffin?" Shen Mo was a little impatient to know.

"At the beginning, Chu Aotian did not take the coffin away, but..."

"But what?"

"A year later, in order to gain more say in the family, Chu Aotian ordered Princess Hanba to attack the Song family and beat Chu Aotian's secret crush, the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Yujiao, into a vegetable.

In order to extend Song Yujiao's life, Chu Aotian thought of this coffin, and then moved the coffin away from here to use as a bed for Song Yujiao.

"It's not bad to use a coffin as a bed. What happened next? Did Song Yujiao wake up?"

"It's strange to say, after Song Yujiao lay in the coffin, she woke up a month later. After that, Chu Aotian put the coffin away and never took it out again."

"This is a good thing!" Shen Mo was extremely envious of the coffin. He shook his head and thought, no, this is not his thing. He still needs to rely on the coffin to prolong the life of the boss!

"It's not about extending the boss' life, it's about waiting for the boss to be reborn." Rabbit corrected Shen Mo's thoughts.

"Get lost, rabbit, and stop prying into my thoughts. If you piss me off, I'll make you into a spicy rabbit head when I come back."

Thinking that his life might end here, Shen Mo became depressed and spoke without restraint.

"Come on, come on, let's do it, who's afraid of who!" The rabbit also knew that Shen Mo could not return to the Merit Pawn Shop because he had not completed the task, so he tried his best to provoke him.

"That's enough, you two, behave yourself, Rabbit. The shopkeeper is already annoyed enough, so don't make things worse."

While Fat Cat was still trying to reconcile the two, Shen Mo had already knelt on his knees and bowed deeply to the coffin.

"Your Highness, I am Shen Mo, the 38th generation descendant of the Underground Palace Guardian. A powerful enemy is approaching. Although I am not afraid of life or death, I want to die with purpose. I am afraid that my frail body cannot stop the invading enemy. I hope Your Highness can give me some instructions at this critical moment."

Shen Mo kowtowed three times towards the coffin.

“Crunch.”

A voice sounded.

Before Shen Mo could react, he felt the ground beneath his feet disappear, his vision went dark, and he fell into a deeper cave.

As soon as the man fell down, a long-burning lamp was lit in the originally dark surroundings. In the corner of the square room, a skeleton was sitting, and on the table in front of the skeleton, there was a roll of parchment.

What is this?

Shen Mo walked forward without touching the parchment, and took a closer look.

There were densely packed patterns on it. Shen Mo didn't understand it, and when he looked at the surrounding walls, there seemed to be many more patterns.

Shen Mo didn't care about the parchment anymore and just looked at the walls around him.

There were colorful paintings on the walls. The colors looked a little dim due to the passage of time, but Shen Mo could still make out the general scenes.

Moreover, each painting is written with ancient characters, so Shen Mo has no problem reading them.

The first picture shows a beautiful woman in palace makeup with a big belly and a painful expression.

Then a baby girl was brought out.

"In the early years of Kaiyuan, Concubine Hui gave birth to a daughter."

Second picture:

A lotus pedestal appeared in the sky, on which sat a woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance. Behind the woman was a row of attendants, and Concubine Hui cried as she handed the baby girl to the pedestal.

"An immortal came and told us not to spread the news and took the princess away."

The third picture:

White banners were hung in the palace.

"The whole country mourns the passing of the Fairy Princess."

Fourth picture:

The same lotus platform appeared in the palace again, but this time there was only a green coffin on the lotus platform and a row of immortal servants stood behind it.

"Twenty years later, the immortal ordered the coffin to be brought to the palace, and the emperor was asked to find a place to bury it. He also told the princess that if she was determined, she would be reborn."

Shen Mo had sharp eyes and saw that the leading fairy servant was holding something in his hand that was somewhat similar to the parchment on the table in front of the skeleton.

Shen Mo looked behind him.
