There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

The emperor hesitated for a long time before making this decision.

To open the underground palace in the mausoleum and defile the bones of the ancestors for one's own selfishness, no matter which dynasty or generation, this is a big treason.Even as an emperor, this is an inescapable crime.Had he been known, he would have been called a perverted king.

However, his longing for longevity overcame everything, and the emperor finally stood at the entrance of the underground palace.

This kind of thing cannot be left in the hands of others. Even if the skeleton is silenced immediately after obtaining it, it may still be leaked.What's more, the tombs of one's own ancestors naturally cannot allow outsiders to enter easily.The emperor thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let the Taoist accompany him. He went down to the underground palace to fetch the bones of Gaozu himself.

In fact, when he decided to come to worship his ancestors, this matter had already been decided.The so-called ancestor worship is just an excuse to deceive others, and the ultimate purpose of the emperor's coming here is to seek longevity... Of course, if he can meet the right opportunity and finally transform into a real dragon, that would be even better.

In the screen wall of the mausoleum, there is a secret door that can enter the underground palace.The organ of the secret door is hidden on the stamen of the seventh flower in the pattern on the screen wall.The mechanism of this secret door is recorded in a book that only the emperor can consult.This booklet had previously escaped the fire of Emperor Gaozong, and is now in the hands of the current emperor.Back then, Gaozu left this secret door to allow future generations to repair the mausoleum. If Gaozu had a spirit in heaven, he would never have imagined that the final function of the secret door he left behind was just to allow future generations to find a convenient way to steal themselves. skeletons.

This matter is really ironic, the emperor felt that he should not think about it, as long as he thought about it a little more, he would feel a lot of guilt in his heart.He held down the pistil according to the method recorded in the book, and flicked it deftly, and the secret door was revealed.

The emperor held up a lantern to shine a light inside. It was dark and deep inside, but the air was not dirty, and there were probably vents in it.Seeing this, the Taoist said to him:

"Your Majesty is a man of gold, so don't take risks lightly. I would like to go ahead and explore the way for Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded slightly, and the Taoist went forward, followed by the king.When they all entered the tomb, the secret door at the back slammed shut.

The emperor knew that there was a switch on this side of the tomb passage, so he was not alarmed.Just followed the Taoist and walked in, going deep into the ground.I don't know how long I walked, and finally arrived at the tomb where Gaozu was buried.

The emperor pressed the mechanism and opened the door of the tomb, and the huge coffins of Gaozu and his empress came into view.Standing here, the emperor suddenly felt unspeakable fear.

He knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times towards the coffin, only then did he feel at ease.

The Taoist pushed the lid of Gaozu's coffin, and the two looked into it together.

After 200 years, Gaozu's body has turned into white bones. Although the shape of the bones is not dragon-shaped, it is also very different from the shape of ordinary human bones.The emperor looked at the Taoist with some doubts, and the Taoist nodded:

"The bones of ordinary people are definitely not like this. This must be the skeleton of Gaozu. You see, there is a huge scar on the bone on his chest. If he hadn't been murdered, how could Gaozu only live for more than a hundred years?"

The emperor looked down at the place where the man pointed, the bones there had already been smashed vigorously.The emperor nodded.

He reached into the coffin, intending to remove a bone and take it away.When it was time to make a move, he hesitated again, retracted his hand, and raised his head to signal the Taoist:

"You go get it."

The Taoist was not afraid, so he took half of the bone from the injured place, wrapped it in the prepared silk and handed it to the king.He prayed to Gaozu's coffin again, pushed the coffin lid up, and said calmly:

"Let's go."

After all, the king still had a bit of fear in his heart, tremblingly put the half bone into his arms, and walked out of the underground palace together with the Taoist.

During this time, Qinglong has been watching at the entrance of the underground palace.

Qinglong has always been very patient. His concept of time is different from that of ordinary people. For him, waiting here for an hour or two will not feel boring at all.But the emperor and the Taoist didn't spend an hour, but after five or six quarters of an hour, Qinglong saw them walk out of the underground palace, the king's arms were bulging, and he could tell at a glance that they were carrying something.

A majestic king personally walked into the underground palace of his ancestor's mausoleum, and what he took out would naturally not be any ordinary property.Considering that the person traveling with him is a Taoist priest, Qinglong can vaguely guess the truth, but for the sake of caution, Qinglong followed the king back to the camp where he was temporarily stationed, and watched him take out a piece of white bone from his arms. Just left here and went back.

He has been gone for so long, Xiao is really restless.Although he knew that no one could catch Qinglong, but thinking of

Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three-inch-long little dragon coming in through the window and turning back into a man shaped like a zhilanyushu:

"Why did it take so long?"

Qinglong smiled:

"It happened to be your emperor's cousin, so I followed him for a while. I just ran into him doing something bad."

"what's up?"

"Your cousin took only one person with him, and entered the underground palace of the mausoleum at night, and took out a piece of bone from it."

Xiao's face turned pale all of a sudden:

"Could it be...he really wants to...?"

Qinglong nodded:

"Probably just as you think."

When Xiao heard such a horrible thing, he bit his finger unconsciously.Even because he didn't want to disturb the tomb of his ancestors, he didn't want to go into the underground palace to find out.As the emperor, his cousin brought out the bones of the great ancestor for his own selfish desire, which is really wrong.

Qinglong looked at Xiao's frightened expression, and smiled again:

"But apart from that, I also discovered something interesting."

"What is it?"

"Your emperor's cousin took a great risk and went down to the underground palace of the mausoleum to get a bone. According to common sense, he wanted to get the bone of your great ancestor, in order to seek longevity or find a way to transform a dragon. But I followed him into the tent, and the bone I saw didn't look like a keel."

Xiao stared at Qinglong with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.Qinglong is not special, just smiled and said:

"If it is really a dragon, even if it turns into a human, its body will change back to a dragon after death. The size of the keel is very different from that of a human, and you can tell it at a glance. Few people know about it, even myself, because of a coincidence I only knew it after seeing the scene of the death of a real dragon. Although your cousin brought a Taoist down there, I’m afraid the Taoist has never seen what a dragon bone looks like. It’s just that the bones stored in the coffin are different from human beings. I recognized it as a real dragon and held it back with both hands."

Xiao stayed for a while, then said:

"According to you, the thing in Gaozu's coffin is not a real dragon at all, maybe it's not Gaozu at all?"

Qinglong smiled:

"This is not certain. If you are really curious, we might as well go to find out together. Your cousin has already disturbed the sleep of your ancestors, so we might as well go and have a look. Even if the coffin of your great ancestor contains If it’s really not Gao Zu, then he must be nearby.”

"how do you know?"

"When I was waiting for your emperor's cousin in the mausoleum, I vaguely felt a dragon's aura coming up from under the underground palace. Although the dragon's aura was not very strong, it was very clear. In any case, under the underground palace, There must be a real dragon."

Qinglong's words were convincing, and Xiao felt nervous, scared, and curious, eager to try.Seeing his intentions, Qinglong made an agreement with him that after the emperor finished worshiping the ancestors and a large number of people left the imperial mausoleum, he would explore the underground palace with him at night to find out the secrets.

The emperor's ancestor worship ceremony proceeded very quickly. Now that he had obtained what he wanted, the subsequent ancestor worship ceremony became careless, ended hastily, and returned to the court.

A large number of guards around the emperor will naturally follow the emperor back to the palace. As for the original guards near the mausoleum, they seem to be getting tired after such a big event, and their defenses have begun to relax a little.This is giving Xiao and Qinglong a good opportunity to sneak in.Accompanied by Qinglong, Xiao sneaked in without much effort.

They stood in front of the screen wall of the mausoleum, and Qinglong told Xiao to step back, and moved the stamen of the seventh flower on the screen wall according to the method he had peeped from the emperor before, and the secret door burst open.

Xiao stood in front of the secret door, looking down at the dark stairs, shrinking a little.Qinglong held his hand:

"Let's go down."

Xiao nodded and walked down the stone steps carefully.After walking for an unknown distance, the coffin of Empress Gaozu finally appeared in front of the two of them.
