Phoenix Returns - C38
Yu Wuyou remembered that the empress dowager had told him that there was a tombstone grave in the imperial mausoleum for the next head of the family to use.
The empress dowager didn’t say who the crown prince was. She only told him that he would be able to enter the empty tomb and obtain the national treasure within.
Thus, Yu Wuyou had always known that the dragon’s scale had always been there. It was just that Emperor Taizu had not taken it out to pass on to his descendant.
At that time, there were three princes of the imperial court competing for the throne. He could choose anyone to make the royal family fight unavoidably, so he could only leave it to the fated ones.
Yu Wuyou didn’t know why the empress dowager told him this secret. Perhaps she felt that he was the fated one, and now that he was in danger, the only way was to find the dragon scale.
Yu Wuyou and Master Chu arrived at the Royal Tomb and found the empty tomb with the Wordless Monument. They found a mechanism by the empty tomb and pressed it lightly. The stone door of the tomb slowly opened.
“The door is open. Let’s go in!” Yu Wuyou said!
“Wait a moment, there are Yin soldiers guarding this tomb. There is a Five Elements Eight Diagram here, and you are from the Zhan Clan. First, drop a drop of blood in the center of the tomb. If the Yin soldiers recognize you as their master, it might save you some trouble.”
Yu Wuyou looked in the direction that Chu Shiyu had pointed, there really was a Five Elements Eight Diagram, but there was a crystal-like bead in the middle of it.
He used his dagger to cut open the palm of his hand and dripped a drop of blood onto the bead in the middle of the eight diagram. The crystal bead instantly lit up with a green light and overturned the door of the tomb. The entire oil lamp in the secret passage instantly lit up.
Following the secret passage, the two arrived at a spacious secret room. In the middle of the room hung a black ice coffin.
“It should be here. This ice coffin should be the ice coffin that the empress dowager mentioned.”
Yu Wuyou remembered that the empress dowager had told him that this tomb was for the future rulers of the south, so this ice coffin was for the future kings.
However, the empress dowager had only told him that the treasure was in this tomb and had not told him where it was kept. Thus, Yu Wuyou didn’t know where the dragon scales were.
“Will the dragon’s scale be in this ice coffin?”
Yu Wuyou shook his head! Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. Back then, the Empress Dowager only said that she wanted me to find the ice coffin, but she also didn’t say that the nation’s treasure was inside the ice coffin. ”
“Then, let’s open it and take a look. If it’s not inside, we can look around. This should be the deepest part of the tomb.”
Yu Wuyou slightly nodded his head, he then jumped onto the iron chain that was hung on top of the ice coffin, jumped off the chain onto the coffin lid and forcefully pushed it open, but the inside was empty.
He shook his head in disappointment and said, “In such an eye-catching place, how could Emperor Taizu possibly place the country’s foundation treasure inside the ice coffin? Let’s look for other places.”
Yu Wuyou returned to his original spot, and the two looked around the secret room, apart from a few stone walls that resembled arms, there was nothing else that could store items, where exactly would the dragon’s scale be?
After searching for a long time, the two of them shook their heads, indicating that they did not find any clues.
“Could it be that the dragon’s scale is not in here at all?”
There were a total of five entrances, and a total of eight hidden mechanisms. Even when she entered the secret room, she discovered that it was in the middle of the entire tomb, and was entirely constructed according to the eight elements diagrams.
Originally, there were many traps in the area, but perhaps it was because Yu Wuyou used his blood sacrifice to open up the defensive Yin troops array, so they did not manage to get in contact with any traps or Yin soldiers.
However, this was the deepest part of the tomb. They should be able to find the dragon’s scale, but she and Yu Wuyou were only three feet apart.
Wait, not right. Dig three feet into the ground …
Chu Shiyu suddenly thought, if the entire tomb was empty, then what about the underground? She lifted her charming lips and looked at the steps under the ice coffin.
That place was clearly far from the light, but he could clearly see every step and every dark corner.
That light did not come from above, but from below.
“I know where the dragon’s scale is!” We searched for so long, but we couldn’t find the place.
The most unexpected place, however, is the most likely place. ”
Yu Wuyou’s gaze followed her line of sight. The staircase under the ice coffin was suffused with a majestic aura, but also a strange aura.
“That’s right, we’ve searched through a lot of places, but we didn’t expect to find it there.”
After saying that, Yu Wuyou and Master Chu looked at each other and nodded slightly. Yu Wuyou then slowly walked to the top of the stairs.
Standing there, right at the bottom of the ice coffin, was an inscriptions of the five elements and eight diagrams.
Just like in the grave, he used Dagger Dust Attraction once again and dripped his blood onto the center of the Five Elements Map. Only then did the entire step light up with a purple glow, and an Azure Dragon emerged from the bottom of his feet, soaring above Yu Wuyou’s head.
The stairs beneath his feet slowly shifted their position, opening up a crack in the ground. In the dazzling light, in the center of the exquisite box, a piece of dragon scales shining with a purple light laid prone in the box.
Yu Wuyou pulled out the box with both hands, and the dragon scales slowly retracted the beam of light into his hands.
However, the Azure Dragon’s figure slowly followed the rays of light as it entered Yu Wuyou’s body, slowly descending down from the ice coffin as if it was the king of the world.
After taking out the dragon’s scale, a few chains that were hanging around the ice coffin began to move. The entire ice coffin slowly sank into the dark storage room on the ground.
The dragon scales returned to Zhan You’s hands, and Zhan You was overjoyed. He immediately took back the dragon scales of the Heavenly Master and promised to not fight with him ever again.
However, the Battle Netherworld was unwilling to bring up the matter of who killed Yu Wuyou’s mother.
After obtaining the dragon’s scale, he immediately regained his status as Prince Yu Wu You, and even though the crown prince had not been abolished, he had been given the title of ‘king of slumber’.
In the heart of the Battle Netherworld, the future king they decided on was still Yu Wuyou.
Although finding the dragon’s scale could be said to have calmed down the mindset of the Netherworld, the harem began to stir.
Master Chu had originally wanted to say goodbye to Yu Wuyou and bring Long Lin back to the Heavenly Master Palace, but that day, when she had just stepped into the Prince’s Mansion, she smelled the scent of blood.
He ran to the main hall and saw Yu Wuyou sitting there quietly. There were a few corpses of men in black standing at his feet. The blood had not dried yet and he had just died.
Seeing that Yu Wuyou was safe and sound, Master Chu asked without worry, “Has she already begun to make her move?”
“En, my return to the southern part of the city has indeed blocked the path of some people. Even though the situation isn’t certain, she can’t wait any longer.”
“It seems like she will never have peace if she doesn’t get rid of you. Do you need my help?”
Yu Wu You shot her a tired smile. According to her personality, she would definitely go and find someone to settle the score with. Killing the queen of the southern neighboring country was a huge matter, who would be able to tolerate her in the future?
