Li Ming already understood the general situation of the Imperial Tomb. This temple was just a palace outside the real entrance of the Imperial Tomb. Behind this stone tablet densely covered with gold characters was the only way to enter the Imperial Tomb.
Following Princess Ning Xin, they walked up to the high platform together. They saw the princess standing respectfully in front of the stone tablet and kneeling on the ground, muttering something, as if she was actually offering sacrifices to her ancestors.
"Okay, come with me." Princess Ning Xin finished the sacrifice, then stood up and led the two of them and the two maids around the tall stone monument to the end of the palace...
Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan looked at the stone wall curiously. As expected, this tall stone tablet was densely engraved with countless emperors' names, and on the back were the names of the ancestors of the royal family.
Behind the tall stone monument, there is a small platform, and opposite it is a tall stone wall.
Royal mausoleum, trespassers will die!
…
Two lines of bright red fonts on the stone wall made the two people's eyes go straight. Since there is such a warning, it means that the imperial mausoleum is very dangerous!
However, looking at the smooth stone wall, it seems that there is no door setting. What is the situation?
"Has the witch already entered from here, so Brother Ming can't contact her?" Lonely Ruyan asked curiously.
"That should be the case. I tried just now and still couldn't summon her." Li Ming frowned and said.
"Outsiders cannot enter the royal mausoleum at will, and the mechanism here is very clever. It cannot be opened without the blood of the royal family. How did your friend get in?" Princess Ning Xin asked in surprise.
"What, you need royal blood to open the door?" Lonely Ruyan asked in confusion.
"Your Highness Princess, there is no need to be surprised. My friend has a special status, so maybe the mechanisms here are ineffective against her." Li Ming said with a faint smile.
He guessed that the current witch was successfully resurrected from a wisp of demon soul with the help of the body of the ancient monster. The body of the ancient monster was very special in the spiritual world. Perhaps Jinsi used the body of the monster to open the mechanism here...
…
"Follow me." Princess Ning Xin walked to the stone wall, stood there and reached out to take out a shining necklace from her neck. At the top of the necklace, she saw a heart-shaped blood-red crystal stone shining with red light.
"My father once gave me this blood crystal necklace, but I didn't expect it to play a key role today. You guys get out of the way first." Princess Ning Xin looked at the crystal stone, her beautiful eyes were a little dazed, and she said softly.
Li Ming, Lonely Ruyan and the two maids didn't know why, but they still hurriedly occupied the side of the stone wall. They saw Her Royal Highness holding the crystal necklace and hitting it hard on the stone wall. There was a "ding" sound, the crystal stone cracked, and a trace of bright red blood dripped on the stone wall.
on the stone wall.
The princess quickly picked up the blood with her fingers and slowly smeared it on one of the red characters on the stone wall...
Li Ming saw clearly that Princess Ning Xin actually smeared the blood from the crystal stone on the royal mausoleum. Among the eight characters for trespassers, death, the word "Emperor" was above it!
It turns out that this is the way to open the tomb. The origin of the blood in the crystal stone must be extraordinary.
Rumble!
At this moment, a deep sound suddenly sounded on the ground. The entire ground seemed to be shaking slightly, and a straight crack appeared in the middle of the stone wall in front of Li Ming!
As the muffled sound continued, the cracks became larger and larger, and a thick stone slab tilted downwards, revealing a downward slope secret passage!
"To open the imperial mausoleum, you must have the blood of each generation of human emperors to open it. Just now is the blood crystal necklace that my father left to me. It contains my father's blood. He originally left it to me, and I can also move in in the future.
I didn't expect that the imperial mausoleum would play such an important role... I would like to know who your friend is." Princess Ning Xin said lightly and already walked down the secret passage.
Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan quickly followed and walked towards the front of the slope and secret passage...
Although I don't know how the witch found the way to open the secret passage of the imperial mausoleum, even Li Ming is as curious as the princess now.
Following the secret passage all the way down, they soon came to an underground platform. There was still a long hole in front of them, and they went all the way down along the steps...
But the long cave entrance in front is brightly lit, and the lighting crystals on the cave walls on both sides shine brightly, illuminating the entire underground.
"The mechanism here has been tampered with... It seems that someone has been here before today!" Princess Ning Xin's expression changed and she quickly rushed down the steps.
"What, someone has already come to the imperial mausoleum?" Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan were both stunned.
"No, this must be to target the mausoleum-suppressing beast. That's why someone came here in advance. It must be the second prince's people!" Li Ming suddenly thought of this and hurriedly ran after the princess...
The long stone staircase led straight into the deep heart of the mountain. Everyone ran wildly for nearly five minutes before they rushed all the way to the end of the secret passage.
However, along the way, Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan were surprised to find that at regular intervals on both sides of the secret passage, there were countless broken bodies of stone warriors on the ground, scattered miscellaneously in the secret passage.
When they rushed through the secret passage, they saw a new situation finally appeared at the end of the steps. In front of an open stone door, there were piles of remains of various stone statues!
"The Tomb Guard God General has fought with people, and a lot of people have entered the imperial mausoleum. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape the Tomb Guard God General's attack!" Princess Ning Xin said.
"What's going on? The stone warriors here can also fight?" Li Ming asked in surprise.
"Yes, they are the most valiant warriors of the Destiny Empire. After they died in battle, they found a way to recall their souls through the temple, and carved artifacts with special stones so that their souls could guard the imperial mausoleum forever. They were able to defeat them. It can be seen that the people who came in
People are very powerful!" Princess Ning Xin said with a frown.
"Your Highness, are you sure someone has been here a few days ago?" Li Ming asked in confusion.
"Look at the blood on the ground. It has turned black now. It must have been several days." Princess Ning Xin pointed to the pile of afterimages at the door. There were indeed some dark blood stains on the ground...
"Oops, Jinsi is in danger..." Li Ming suddenly opened his eyes nervously.
"Follow me, the imperial mausoleum is divided into three levels. Next is the first major hall, called the Hall of Merit. It is the place where the emperors of the past rewarded the meritorious ministers of the empire and can stay in the imperial mausoleum after their death. There are also countless divine generals guarding it.
." Princess Ning Xin said, striding towards the open stone door...
Li Ming and Lonely Ruyan followed her into the stone door. As soon as they entered the door, what they saw in front of them completely shocked them...
Inside the gate, a huge cave suddenly appeared. A few meters away from the door, going up, was a huge hillside with no end in sight.
On the hillside, countless neat tombs are densely distributed in this wide slope from top to bottom. The number is jaw-dropping!
