"Your Majesty, please let us go. I don't want to die."
"I also don't want to die, Your Majesty …"
Most of these imperial concubines were young, beautiful, and in the prime of their lives. Some had only been in the palace for a year or even a month. There were even some who had not been favored. Who would be willing to be buried with them in such a muddled way?
"Men," Gu Haoran called out calmly.
A few soldiers immediately dragged these women to the side and used the scabbards in their hands to beat them up. After that, none of the concubines dared to call for help.
"You were my father's women when you were alive, and you will be my father's women after you are dead. You should feel honored that you are blessed by the heavens, not desolation and grief!" Gu Haoran shouted loudly. The rules set down by the ancestors could not be broken. After all, if the emperor died, could it be that these imperial concubines would all be disbanded? And then slept with another man? As the Emperor! Thoughts were tyrannical. As long as he died, everything would be buried with him!
"Seal the tomb!" Gu Haoran shouted. He couldn't wait to go back and become the Emperor.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Jing, who was standing at the side, suddenly shouted.
Gu Haoran trusted Zhang Jing. "What's wrong?"
"Emperor? What does that light mean? "Zhang Jing pointed at a light source that was gradually tilting.
Gu Haoran paused for a moment before saying, "It should be Father's idea. This light source should have been dug in and moved along with the sun. From this angle, it should have moved to the coffin. Father still wants to feel the warmth of the sun."
After saying that, Gu Haoran laughed. His father really knew how to enjoy life. Even though he was dead, he still wanted to bask in the sun.
Zhang Jing nodded. Gu Haoran took the lead and walked out, followed by a group of soldiers, leaving behind a group of absent-minded women to be buried with them.
As the heavy stone door closed, the tomb chamber fell into silence. Only the cries of hundreds of concubines could be heard.
However, there were a few concubines who were looking at that ray of sunlight that was slowly moving …
From the wall to the side of the coffin.
When the beam of light moved to the center of the room! It suddenly refracted!
There was a mirror in the center of the coffin, and the light shone through the tomb. The bronze mirrors around the coffin seemed to be a strange array, and it actually caused a strange pattern to appear on the light.
This situation stunned the concubines. What was going on?
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, the sound of a stone door opening could be heard. This caused all the concubines to be stunned for a moment, then they all rushed towards the stone door.
However, there were still more than ten concubines who didn't go. They just sat there in a daze. These concubines were a little old, and they probably couldn't bear to part with him. They had feelings for him, and those who ran out were all young concubines.
The stone door closed without any warning, and a series of terrifying sounds rang out, as well as a woman's miserable cries.
The remaining dozen or so concubines instantly understood what the emperor meant, because another stone door opened on the other side.
When the stone door opened, a ray of light shone in, illuminating the pitch-black passageway.
Beside the passageway, there were the emperor's words. The meaning was simple: I don't want you to die with me. You should have your own brand new life. As for what happened just now, it was just a small test.
Gu Pi wasn't a cruel emperor. Those were all women that he had slept with before, and he couldn't bear to let them die just like that. However, he couldn't break the rules. Thus, he thought of this method to see how many of those women were sincere, only those who were sincere would have the chance to live.
The dozen or so concubines kowtowed towards the coffin and thanked the emperor for his kindness. Soon after, they walked out of the tomb. However, there were still two concubines who didn't leave. They chose to stay here and guard the coffin.
Gradually, the stone door closed.
The entire tomb became silent once again, and the atmosphere was filled with the aura of death.
However, right at this moment, a bronze mirror suddenly fell … and the clanging sound startled the two concubines.
However, at this moment, the light source changed!
A dragon head was carved on the top of the coffin, and the light source just so happened to shoot into the dragon's eyes!
The dragon's eyes gradually lit up, and the rocks on the dragon's head gradually fell off.
This startled the two concubines. How did the stone dragon come back to life …
"Roar!" A dragon roar suddenly exploded out in the tomb.
However, when the group that was returning to the city heard this dragon roar, they all stopped their footsteps.
Gu Haoran who was sitting on the throne asked loudly, "Zhang Jing, what's going on!"
"Your Majesty, a dragon roar seemed to have come out from the imperial tomb just now …" Even Zhang Jing felt as if his ears were ringing.
Gu Haoran hurriedly got off the carriage and looked towards the imperial tomb that was not far away.
Boom!
The top of the imperial tomb could be seen being broken through, and a green dragon could be seen soaring into the sky. The green dragon had a long beard and a pair of eyes that could captivate one's heartstrings was looking down at the ground.
Gu Haoran was stupefied …
Zhang Jing was also stupefied …
Everyone in the group was stupefied …
The divine dragon in the legends!
"Roar!" The green divine dragon roared towards the sky and flew towards Aluo River.
After the divine dragon left, countless figures could be seen from within the Azure Dragon Empire. Naturally, Yang Yao and Shi Yu were also amongst them.
The appearance of the abnormal flame meant that the abnormal flame was about to appear!
Ye Hua who was sitting in the pavilion let out a breath.
"Ye Hua, what's wrong?" Qing Ya asked concernedly.
"I feel a bit better." After the dragon roar just now, Ye Hua felt that the abnormal flame within his body had calmed down, as if it wasn't that anxious anymore. However, it was still a bit restless, not sure if it was due to excitement or fear.
I reckon that it was due to excitement. After all, how could it be possible for the abnormal flame within my body to be afraid of another type of abnormal flame?
"Brother-in-law, was it that dragon roar just now?" Qing Yutong asked curiously.
"En, that dragon roar is an abnormal flame. After all, the appearance of an abnormal flame would always be accompanied by the appearance of an abnormal flame." Ye Hua said faintly. Thinking back, back then, I also obtained my abnormal flame like this. Good things all have to be snatched, do you think that someone would send them to you?
Donghuang Baizhi wanted to go and take a look, "This is a bit interesting."
"Of course it is interesting, everyone wants an abnormal flame, including myself." Towards treasures, Ye Hua also had a hobby of collecting treasures, let alone a treasure like an abnormal flame.
The few of them looked towards the horizon. A lot of people were flying out of the city, and the sky was filled with darkness.
At the very front was Prison Emperor Yang Yao and Palace Master Shi Yu.
"Haha! Abnormal flame! It really is an abnormal flame! " Shi Yu let out a crazed laughter. For a divine dragon to actually appear, this abnormal flame must not be an ordinary abnormal flame.
Although Yang Yao didn't say anything, his eyes were filled with excitement. It really is an abnormal flame!
This intelligence report was actually true. It was unimaginable!
Just as the two of them were getting excited, the green divine dragon could be seen rushing into Aluo River!
This action caused the two of them to be startled!
Aluo River means that it knows everything. No matter how strong a creature is, if it were to fall into Aluo River, even a deity would not be able to save it.
If this divine dragon rushed into Aluo River, would it still be able to come out alive?
