As the privileged class, Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng just need to be the hands-off shopkeepers after eating, and their servants will take care of the mess in the carriage.
The two got off the carriage, but they were not in a hurry to enter the goddess temple. Instead, they walked slowly nearby to digest their food.
"Your Highness, General Yan has returned to Beijing to take up a post. Who will take over his position?" Gu Qiancheng lowered his head all the way and did not raise his head even when he asked Qin Jiyan a question.
"A general named Cheng is a confidant of His Majesty." Qin Jiyan glanced at Qiancheng from time to time and found that there was nothing unusual about her except for lowering her head and occasionally kicking pebbles, so she didn't think much about it.
"General Cheng? Never heard of it." Gu Qiancheng paused and turned to look at Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan also stopped and brushed the dead leaves off Gu Qiancheng's shoulders. Gu Qiancheng froze and looked at Qin Jiyan with his mouth slightly open.
"What's wrong?" Qin Jiyan looked surprised, but did not take away his hand on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Jiyan in confusion.
"Are you really okay?" Qin Jiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng suspiciously.
After leaving the city, Gu Qiancheng acted strangely. Although Gu Qiancheng concealed it very well, Qin Jiyan still found out. But Gu Qiancheng didn't tell him, and Qin Jiyan couldn't force it.
"No...no, are there bugs on me?" Gu Qiancheng froze on the spot, looking very frightened.
"Are you afraid of bugs?" Qin Jiyan's hand was still resting on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder.
"I'm not afraid." Gu Qiancheng remained motionless, not even daring to glance around, "But I'm afraid of bugs on me."
"You..." Qin Jiyan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that Gu Qiancheng was still interested in joking, he let go of the worries in his heart. "Don't worry, there are no bugs on you, just a few dead leaves."
Qin Jiyan patted Gu Qiancheng's shoulder and silently retracted his hand.
"I was scared to death." Gu Qiancheng patted his heart and glanced sideways at Qin Jiyan, "I thought there were bugs on me, and you didn't make it clear, Your Highness."
"You didn't give me a chance to speak." Qin Jiyan did not continue walking forward, but pointed to the original road and motioned for Gu Qiancheng to follow him back.
Gu Qiancheng muttered: "You've got an advantage and you still act like a good boy."
Qin Jiyan's eyes were full of smiles, and Gu Qiancheng's face was also smiling, but when no one was around, her eyes were full of bitterness.
The two of them returned the same way. The servants had already cleaned up the carriage and opened the doors and windows to get some air. When they saw Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng coming back, they stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, the Goddess Temple has been cleaned up."
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan responded softly, turned to Gu Qiancheng and said, "Let's go in."
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng knew yesterday that he was going to see the mummy today, so he had already prepared outer clothes and masks. This was not the first time that Qin Jiyan had been in close contact with a corpse, and he was even more prepared than Gu Qiancheng.
.
Qin Jiyan had someone burn the Pihu Pill in advance, and also brought Suhexiang Pills, and handed one to Gu Qiancheng before entering the Goddess Temple.
The entrance to the secret room of the Goddess Temple was under the statue of the Goddess. Gu Qiancheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw this entrance. He turned his head and looked at Qin Jiyan, "Can this be discovered?"
Gu Qiancheng had Styraxianum Pills in his mouth and his speech was a bit slurred, but it did not affect his listening.
"The eyes of the goddess statue are weird and should not be left here. I asked the Holy One to destroy the goddess statue, but they found the secret room under the goddess statue." Qin Jiyan also had Suhexiang Pills in his mouth, but he was not affected and remained the same.
Speak clearly.
"Awesome." Gu Qiancheng gave Qin Jiyan a thumbs up.
The secret room under the statue of the goddess is more like a cellar. The entrance can only allow one person to enter and exit. Qin Jiyan's subordinates placed a ladder at the entrance to facilitate entry and exit.
Gu Qiancheng followed Qin Jiyan into the secret room. The secret room was only about ten square meters in size and was cleaner than expected. There were vents in the dark and there was no smell of decay inside.
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng didn't wander around after they came down. They stood at the entrance. Qin Jiyan pointed to the row of jars in front of him, "There are all corpses in there."
"Let me take a look." Gu Qiancheng took out the gloves from his pocket. Halfway through, he saw Qin Jiyan reaching out to her: "Where is my king's?"
Well……
Gu Qiancheng took off his gloves obediently, took out the spare gloves and handed them to Qin Jiyan, "Just one pair."
"That's enough." His subordinates all wore gloves and there was no need for Gu Qiancheng to prepare.
The four guards who came in one after another stood beside the corpse altar with their heads bowed and silent. They would never tell Gu Qiancheng that they had prepared gloves for His Highness King Qin.
When Gu Qiancheng stepped forward, a guard moved the lamp over and knocked down the jar containing the body so that Gu Qiancheng could inspect it. Qin Jiyan explained at the side: "I'm not sure whether this is the scene of the crime. I didn't let him."
If someone destroys it, after you finish checking it, I will have these corpse altars taken out."
"Yeah." Gu Qiancheng nodded, took the oil lamp from the guard's hand, and moved closer to the altar to check.
The corpse was completely placed in the jar, with its head leaning against the mouth of the jar, and it looked like it was sitting there. The corpse was perfectly preserved, and the meat on it was not rotten but shriveled, as if the blood in the whole body had been drained and the meat had been dried.
Same.
The mouth of the jar was very small, only about the size of a head. Not much could be seen through the mouth of the jar. The jar had to be opened to take out the corpse inside.
Gu Qiancheng had no plans to do an autopsy today, nor did he plan to do an autopsy here. He took one look and asked the guard to put it down, then took the oil lamp and walked around the secret room.
The secret room had excellent ventilation and a pleasant temperature. Gu Qiancheng walked around here and carefully checked every corner. He was sure that this was not a crime scene.
This secret room is used to store mummies.
Gu Qiancheng said to Qin Ji: "Your Highness, please let someone carry a jar out first to take a look. This secret room is very special. I suspect that these mummies may weather when they go outside."
"Okay." Qin Jiyan looked over, and the guards immediately took action and moved the corpse altar that Gu Qiancheng had just seen out. One person carried it behind him, and two people supported him, and walked towards the ladder entrance.
The jar just fits through the entrance.
"I'll step forward and take care of you first." Another guard climbed up first and waited on top.
The four guards worked together and quickly carried the corpse altar out.
With a "boom", the corpse altar fell to the ground. Before Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan could ask questions, the guard above said loudly: "Your Majesty, the mummy has weathered, and all the flesh on it has turned to ashes, leaving only
Next jar of bones.”
Die in the light of day?
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng looked at each other, and Gu Qiancheng sighed, "These corpses cannot be moved. Let's make preparations tomorrow. We will open the corpse altar directly in the secret room."
"This place is very evil." Qin Jiyan shook his head in disapproval, "I asked the government officials to come, so don't interfere."
Qin Jiyan was worried that there was danger here. But Gu Qiancheng was a professional, and she knew very well that there was no danger in this secret room, but the climate in this secret room was suitable for storing mummies.
"You don't need to find someone else. I can check it. This secret room is a geomantic treasure and there will be no danger." Gu Qiancheng said half-jokingly.
Qin Jiyan raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
"I can guarantee that there is no danger here. If there is a problem, can we still go out?"
Qin Jiyan thought about it. He had been here once before. If there was really any danger, he would have encountered it long ago...
