Following him all the way, he saw Zeng Yan walking around the screen wall, exiting the gate of the mausoleum, and walking towards a small courtyard on the left.
After he entered the small courtyard, Xia Jing hid under a big tree and realized that this small courtyard was the Divine Chef Palace she was looking for.
However, there are currently many guards guarding the entrance of the Divine Chef Palace, making it inconvenient for her to approach in broad daylight.
Zeng Yan entered the courtyard gate, bypassed the main room, and walked directly to the back room at the back.
There were also several guards guarding the front of the back room. Out of tune with these guards was the second master, Li Chengzhan, who was sitting against the wall under the shady eaves.
Funerals and funerals should be carried out with care and concern, and special attention should be paid to every word and deed of filial sons and grandsons.
But he was just the opposite. If it weren't for the wrong location, he would have thought that the second master was here for a vacation.
"Why did the second master come up? How are the preparations inside? Are the uncle and the fifth master in there?"
When Li Chengzhan heard the questioning, he frowned slightly. He didn't want to deal with an innocent domestic slave, but he was afraid that he would go back and complain to his father.
"They are all busy inside. I don't know much about this kind of thing, so I came up here to take a rest."
Zeng Yan knew his temperament and nodded clearly: "I have something to discuss with the uncle and the fifth master. Can the second master come together?"
Li Chengzhan looked at the little old man with a low eyebrow in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly agreed.
As soon as the two people's backs disappeared at the entrance of the tunnel, a small window leaf on the north side of the room was removed from the outside.
But after a while, a purple figure came in through the window.
After landing, Xia Jing reinstalled the removed window leaves until the window surface returned to its original state. She patted the dust on her body and saw that the guards outside the door were not paying attention to the room, so she felt relieved to take a look at the room that could accommodate two people.
A tunnel entrance that allows simultaneous entry and exit.
The tunnel entrance is surrounded by bluestone slabs, which are strong and waterproof. You can feel the slight coolness when standing at the tunnel entrance.
"Is there a source of water down there?"
Because this is the God's Kitchen Palace, and a tunnel is built mysteriously in the room. During this severe drought, all Xia Jing can think about is the source of water. She is used to living in the last days. In her heart, besides water, food is the most precious thing.
.
Xia Jing used her mental power to investigate and found that Zeng Yan and Li Chengzhan had gone far away, so she quickly followed them down the tunnel.
The tunnel is deep, dark, straight and long, but there are traps at every other section. Zeng Yan and Li Chengzhan seem to be very familiar with this place. Every time they pass by the trap section, they can successfully avoid it.
Xia Jing followed behind thoughtfully. At this moment, she had confirmed that there could not be a water source at the end of the corridor. After all, who would set up so many mechanisms in the corridor for a water source?
This is where the royal tombs of the Yu Dynasty are located, and these people are so mysterious that a bold idea flashes in Xia Jing's mind - tomb robbery!
These filial sons and grandsons of 'her' are so bold and reckless, they dare to risk the world's disapproval to steal the tombs of their ancestors. It is true that even the Yu Dynasty will not be able to justify it.
Xia Jing touched her chapped lips and finally decided to follow him to have a look before looking for water and food.
At the end of the corridor, a group of people were performing some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
During the solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony, no one present made a sound.
When everyone knelt down and kowtowed nine times to complete the sacrifice, one of the young men moved away from the black coffin in front of him with a look in his eyes.
He looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "Brother, my mother-in-law's funeral was so simple. Do you think she would blame me, an unfilial son, for her secret knowledge?"
The middle-aged man is Li Chengshang, the uncle of Prince Qian. As the eldest son of the Prince, he is responsible for the funeral of the step-concubine of the Prince.
"Fifth brother, don't think too much, just accept the change with condolences!"
It can only be said that this is how Xia's destiny should be, and human power cannot do it.
Whenever he thought of the Xia family's honor in life and the loss of their corpses after death, the words 'corpse-infested wilderness' automatically popped up in Li Chengshang's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
