Taiping Inn

Tang Zhou looked back at the passageway he had come from, and for a moment he could not tell whether this passageway was originally part of the ancient tomb, or whether someone later dug through this passageway to enter the ancient tomb. However, based on the entrance location where Tang Zhou was now, he could roughly judge the scale of the underground palace. The entrance passage here is about two meters wide on both sides, and the ground and both sides are paved with blue-gray bricks and stones. The highest point of the top is three meters high, presenting a semicircular dome structure. From this point of view, the scale of this ancient tomb is not inferior to the Changsheng Palace in Beimang Mountain.

However, Tang Zhou is not comparable to Li Xuandu, Yan Feiqing, and Su Yun'an who broke into the Changsheng Palace at that time. Even if there are Taiyin corpses and bronze armor corpses, they can't do anything to him.

The only thing that makes Tang Zhou feel sorry is that he didn't bring more people.

You should know that there are many talented people in Qingyang Sect, and there are many people who are proficient in tomb robbing. Tomb robbing is divided into many schools. These tomb robbers of Qingyang Sect are between the two kinds of livelihoods of robbers and tomb diggers. When they have a target, they dig graves. When they can't find a grave, they gather in the mountains and forests to rob houses. They have always been numerous and powerful, and extremely vicious. Not to mention how they are when they are robbers, as long as they can find a big tomb, even if there is an imperial tomb or a tomb of a duke, they dare to dig it, and there are dozens or hundreds of people, gathering to open the tomb, and even using gunpowder and other means. After opening the underground palace of the tomb, they will rob all the treasures in it and throw the bones of the tomb owner into the wilderness. It is very different from the other schools that pay attention to technology.

Although Tang Zhou is not afraid of any mechanism or monster in the tomb, he is just one person after all. If he wants to explore such a large underground palace of the mausoleum, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

But when he came here, Tang Zhou couldn't withdraw again, so he could only go deep into the mausoleum alone.

In ancient times, the tombs of emperors were called "mausoleums", the tombs of dukes and nobles were called "tumuluses", followed by "tombs" and "graves". The deeper Tang Zhou went into the mausoleum, the more certain he was that it was a "mausoleum", that is, an emperor was buried there.

If it was Beimang Mountain, there would be an emperor's mausoleum, which would not be surprising at all. But in Shuzhou, it would be a bit strange. Shuzhou has rarely produced emperors since ancient times, most of them were local lords living in a corner. Even if an emperor came from Shuzhou and unified the world, he would not be buried in Shuzhou after his death.

Tang Zhou thought about it and only thought of two emperors, one was Emperor Zhaolie and the other was King Gongsun Shu of Shu. Needless to say, the former was famous all over the world, and King Gongsun Shu of Shu had proclaimed himself emperor in Jinguanfu before the first lord, and the country was called Dacheng, the year was called Longxing, and he also called himself Baidi. Baidi City came from this, but after the fall of Dacheng, the Gongsun family was killed.

Could this be the tomb of Gongsun Shu?

Tang Zhou was a little excited when he thought of this. A founding monarch must have many unknown secrets and treasures. As long as he could get these treasures, his strength would definitely be improved. He dared not say that he could step into the realm of immortality, which was too far away, but it was not impossible to catch up with Bai Xiushang and others.

However, soon, Tang Zhou had another idea, "Since the officer knew this place, why didn't he come here in person? Is the secret hidden here useless to the immortals? Or is there something else?"

Thinking of this, Tang Zhou was a little shaken. However, because he had already entered the realm of heaven and man, he had the confidence and also had a greater greed. A treasure mountain was right in front of him, but he had to return empty-handed. Who could bear it?

So although Tang Zhou's thoughts changed several times, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and he still walked forward along the passage.

There are indeed some traps in this mausoleum, which are very deadly to ordinary martial arts masters, but for Tang Zhou, the newly promoted Grandmaster of the Heavenly Man-made Realm, they are insignificant and can't hurt him at all. Even if it is a dragon-breaking stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds, he can forcibly break it with the "Qingyang Dharma Body". Soon, he passed through many traps and came to the core area of ​​the mausoleum's underground palace.

In Tang Zhou's sight, there is a wall with nine dragons entwined. In the center of this dragon wall, there is a pearl that is fought over by nine dragons. This pearl is bright and as big as a human head. It is rare in the world.

The divine power that attracted Tang Zhou to this place came from behind the dragon wall, and it became stronger and stronger, like a tender little hand constantly teasing Tang Zhou's heart. Now there is only the last step left.

Tang Zhou pondered for a moment, then flew up, pressed the pearl with one hand, and found that he couldn't press it, so he twisted it. There was a rumbling sound, and the dragon wall turned over. Tang Zhou took a step forward and entered behind the dragon wall.

Then the dragon wall returned to its original appearance, and behind the dragon wall was a different world.

Suddenly, the view in front of him was clear. In a huge underground cave, there was a palace with flowing lights and colorful buildings. It was very similar to the cemetery on the ground.

Tang Zhou observed carefully for a moment and found that the eternal lamps were burning in the palace, which were said to be immortal for a thousand years. Countless eternal lamps added together made this underground palace golden and dazzling, like a fairy palace in the sky. And outside the palace, there was a "moat", but it was not river water, but countless mercury.

After all, Tang Zhou has been in the martial arts world for many years, and his mind has not been completely blinded by greed. Such a gorgeous palace naturally contains valuable treasures, but the greater the danger, the more vigilant he can be.

Tang Zhou first used his divine power to transform into golden armor covering his body, and then flew over the river of mercury, without touching the ground, and went straight to the main hall.

From the Mercury River to the main hall, Tang Zhou felt countless cold and gloomy auras, as if there were ghosts blocking the way, but under his magnificent divine power, they all disappeared, not to mention hurting him, it was very difficult to get close to him.

It is not difficult to imagine that if it was not Tang Zhou who came here today, but some ordinary people, even if they were tomb robbers, they would still suffer heavy casualties at the hands of these ghosts in the end. You must know that ghosts and evil spirits have hallucinations comparable to those of alchemists, and they are in a place with natural yin energy such as an underground tomb, which has an advantage in location and is even more advantageous. On the contrary, the yang energy of living people is suppressed here, and only 80% of their abilities are exerted. Between the increase and decrease, the ghosts and evil spirits naturally have the upper hand.

Unfortunately, these ghosts and evil spirits met Tang Zhou. Tang Zhou followed the magnificent divine way, condensing the incense and wishes into divine power. In terms of restraining ghosts, he is not inferior to the alchemists who practice thunder magic or the warriors with vigorous blood.

Tang Zhou came to the outside of the hall. The door was open, so he could see the depths of the hall from outside. There was a three-foot high platform with nine steps in the depths of the hall. On the high platform was a dragon throne, and a "person" was sitting on it.

The whole hall was naturally magnificent, supported by giant pillars that could be hugged by three people. There were golden dragons coiled on the pillars, and there were tortoise and crane longevity copper lamps and maid palace lamps to illuminate the whole hall. On the dome, there were many gems and pearls hanging, imitating the vast stars, reflecting the light of the lights, making the hall bright and dazzling. Tang Zhou was not a pure Taoist, but he followed the geomancer and Song Zheng in the past, and he also knew a little about the changes in the celestial phenomena. The gems and pearls above the dome of the hall imitated the stars. It was actually a small formation that would constantly change its position, just like the stars in the night sky, which was amazing.

But Tang Zhou didn't care about these at this time, and his eyes fell on the "person".

This person was wearing a black twelve-chapter suit, a flat emperor crown, and a bead curtain covering his face. Under the light of the lamp, the whole person looked ethereal and hazy, like the legendary emperor of heaven, sitting high in the Lingxiao Palace.

However, Tang Zhou could keenly feel that the "person" in front of him had no blood at all, just like a dead thing, and would never be a living person. But there was no corpse gas of zombies or evil spirits, and even made Tang Zhou have an illusion, could it be another statue?

Tang Zhou snorted coldly, strode into the hall, and stopped in front of the three-foot high platform. At this time, Tang Zhou looked up and could see the face under the bead curtain. This person was about the age of knowing his destiny, and his face was lifelike like a wax figure. He looked like a wax figure, but he didn't have any life at all. His eyes were closed, his skin was pale, and he seemed to have lost too much blood. The long beard under his jaw seemed to fall off at any time.

Tang Zhou had no respect for the emperors, especially those who had died, so he walked up the nine steps and came to the "person" sitting on the dragon throne.

At this moment, the hall suddenly changed, and the wind blew. The originally brilliant and bright lights turned into a gloomy green color in the blink of an eye, making the hall that just seemed like a palace in the sky become a netherworld, full of ghosts. Even the golden armor on Tang Zhou's body was covered with a layer of gloomy green light.

At the same time, the brilliant star map inlaid on the dome moved, flickered, and a beam of starlight fell, covering the dragon throne and its owner.

The emperor, who had his eyes closed, slowly raised his head, and his eyes suddenly opened. His dark and empty eyes stared at Tang Zhou standing in front of him, and his mouth opened and closed, "Bold!"

Although the voice was not loud, the air in front of Tang Zhou produced visible distortion and fluctuations, echoing in the hall, buzzing like a Huangzhong Dalu.

An ordinary Xiantian Realm master, at such a close distance, would probably be killed by this sound. Even a master of the Guizhen Realm would be seriously injured if he was not prepared. However, Tang Zhou was prepared for this and his realm was very high, so he just shook his body slightly and then returned to normal.

Tang Zhou was sure that the person in front of him should be the former Shu King Gongsun Shu. He was not afraid at all. He shouted like thunder, not inferior to Gongsun Shu at all. At the same time, he punched Gongsun Shu in the side of his face.

After being nurtured here for many years, Gongsun Shu's corpse was not inferior to the Taiyin corpse in the Changsheng Palace at all. It was a genuine bronze armor corpse. Even if he met a great master of the Tianren Realm, he would not be defeated. But he met Tang Zhou, who was in the Tianren Realm, and was directly knocked out by this punch.
