"Husband, you're really amazing. I haven't even said anything and you've already guessed my wish!" This was the first thing Liu Yaoguang said when Ling Dong brought her to Zhai Xing Lou after she rushed to the imperial capital, Brilliance City.
Liu Yaoguang's first sentence left Ling Dong scratching his head and sweating profusely!
To be honest, Ling Dong still couldn't figure out what Liu Yaoguang's wish was! Ling Dong had a few guesses, but none of them were reliable!
"This … your wish is related to Zhai Xing Lou?" Ling Dong didn't dare to joke around when it concerned the royal family of the previous dynasty and the current Yaoguang Empire. If Liu Yaoguang wanted him, her husband, to help her restore her empire, Ling Dong would have a headache!
"Yes, husband!" Liu Yaoguang didn't look excited as she looked at the majestic Zhai Xing Lou. "Husband, since we're going to enter Zhai Xing Lou, I'll have to make some preparations. Please wait for a moment!"
After obtaining Ling Dong's permission, Liu Yaoguang left. More than an hour later, Liu Yaoguang reappeared in front of Zhai Xing Lou!
Liu Yaoguang had changed into a white mourning dress. Even the hair ornaments on her hair had been changed to plain white.
Seeing Liu Yaoguang's outfit, Ling Dong understood. Liu Yaoguang must have known that her Liu ancestors were in Zhai Xing Lou. That was why she was acting like this!
The following matters were a little complicated.
After Liu Yaoguang entered Liu Yue Palace, she set up an incense table according to ancient customs. Then, she cleaned up the memorial tablets in Liu Yue Palace and worshipped them one by one.
After nearly two hours, Liu Yaoguang wiped off her sweat and came before Ling Dong. "Husband, thank you! I didn't expect that my wish would come true so quickly! I also didn't expect that one day, I would be able to come to the underground palace treasury and fulfill my ancestors' wishes! "
"Yaoguang, are you talking about worshipping the ancestors or restoring the Liuyue Empire?" Ling Dong asked in confusion.
Ling Dong had no idea what Liu Yaoguang's wish was! Especially the last words of the Liu Clan's ancestor in the underground palace treasury. Could it be the wish of the Liu Clan of the previous dynasty?
Hearing Ling Dong's question, Liu Yaoguang was stunned at first, then she giggled. Her laughter made Ling Dong feel inexplicable!
"Husband, what are you thinking? Revive my country? I'm just a little girl. Why would I revive my country? "Liu Yaoguang's smile blossomed like a flower.
"Husband, actually, my wish is very simple. I just want to worship the ancestors. If you allow it, I would like to move all the memorial tablets of the Liu Family's ancestors away and find another place to worship them. This way, we won't be oppressed by the Bi Family's royal family day and night!" Liu Yaoguang said.
Ling Dong thought about it. Wasn't that right?
The top seven floors of the Zhai Xing Tower were where the Bi Family of the Yaoguang Empire worshipped their ancestors. The memorial tablets of the previous dynasty's Liu Family were buried under the Zhai Xing Tower. The Bi Family of the Yaoguang Empire was really ruthless. Not only did they overthrow the Liu Dynasty when they were alive, they even wanted to oppress them after they died!
"Yaoguang, this Bi Family is really too much! They actually built the place where they worshipped their ancestors directly on the heads of your Liu Family's ancestors. Do you want me to help you vent your anger? "Ling Dong asked.
What surprised Qiu Qingyi was that Liu Yaoguang actually shook her head and rejected Ling Dong's suggestion!
"Husband, the grudges of these ancestors have nothing to do with me anymore! The Liuyue Empire was destroyed more than 800 years ago! After dozens of generations, the grudges from 800 years ago are really too far away. I've never even thought about reviving the empire!
Even this worship of the ancestors was actually influenced by my mother's education since I was young. It was my duty to worship the ancestors and prevent the ancestors' souls from being oppressed by the Bi Family. Otherwise … "
At this point, Liu Yaoguang shook her head. The slightly heavy expression on her pretty face disappeared and was replaced by joy, a relaxed joy.
"Husband, after I move the memorial tablets of the Liu Family's ancestors out of here, I'll get a proper title from you in the future and become a member of the Ling family. The only bloodline of the Liu Family in the world will also disappear!" Liu Yaoguang said.
Ling Dong also felt that it was reasonable. The grudges of the ancestors from 800 years ago, and who knew how many generations of the Bi Family had died. If Liu Yaoguang still wanted to revive the empire, there would really be some problems!
"Mm!"
Ling Dong nodded and agreed to Liu Yaoguang's request. At the same time, he said, "Yaoguang, how are you going to move these hundreds of memorial tablets? Let me help you?"
"No need, husband. I'll do it myself! Oh right, husband, since you can open this place, you must know about the underground palace's treasury. I'll open it for you now! "Liu Yaoguang said.
"No hurry! Let's clean up your memorial tablets first, then we'll talk about that! " After all, the underground palace's treasury was his anyway. There was no harm in helping his woman clean up the memorial tablets first. This was also something that a man should do!
After busying themselves for another two hours, the three of them finally cleaned up the Liu Yue Palace's sacrificial hall and arrived at the golden door behind the memorial tablets.
Liu Yaoguang seemed to be very familiar with all this. After looking at the golden door for a while, she stretched out her hands and slowly grasped the bronze ring with extremely small spikes on the golden door!
"Yaoguang, wait! Think about it again. Has the bloodline of your Liu Family ever been broken in the middle? The self-destruct power of the formation here can destroy half of Brilliance City! " Seeing that Liu Yaoguang's hands were about to touch the ring, the nervous Qiu Qingyi reminded her again.
Ling Dong also had the same worry! Although the treasury was important, life was more precious!
Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. There were too many historical examples!
Liu Yaoguang smiled lightly and pointed at the words on the golden door. "Husband, I'm afraid you're scared by these words! Indeed, there was a powerful self-destruct array formation inside this place.
However, the formation will only be triggered when the gate is destroyed by force. If the gate is opened casually, it will trigger the self-destruct formation that can destroy more than half of the Brilliance City. The capital of the Brilliance Empire would have been blown up by the death warriors sent by my Liu Family's ancestors! "
"That's true!" Hearing this, Ling Dong nodded his head. If they disregarded everything and sent out a few men of sacrifice, they could still reach here!
"Then I'll open it!" As she spoke, Liu Yaoguang put her hands on the pair of golden copper rings. At the same time, her slender fingers grasped them with all her strength!
A very faint "chi chi chi" sound fell into Ling Dong's ears. Ling Dong seemed to see the hundreds of extremely thin thorns on the copper rings all piercing into Liu Yaoguang's palms!
As the saying goes, the ten fingers are connected to the heart. Liu Yaoguang's pretty face turned pale, and blood slowly flowed from between her fingers. When the blood dripped from between her fingers from the copper rings and dripped to the ground, the originally ordinary golden door suddenly lit up with a ball of blood-colored brilliance with a hint of green, and suddenly bounced Liu Yaoguang away.
At the same time, an ear-piercing creaking sound came from the golden door. With the creaking sound, the golden door slowly opened, revealing an even stranger green protective light curtain inside.
When the golden gate was completely opened, the creaking sound disappeared, and the green protective light curtain flickered rapidly before disappearing.
The moment the pungent stench rushed out, what appeared in front of Ling Dong and the others was a dazzling treasure trove! A small mountain of top-grade crystals was neatly stacked like a mountain of gold.
Although the use of gold was negligible in the eyes of someone like Ling Dong, the appearance of such a huge mountain of gold was extremely shocking!
"Careful, it's poisonous! It's highly toxic! " In that instant of shock, Ling Dong's expression changed drastically. He covered Qiu Qingyi and Liu Yaoguang's mouths and noses at the same time, and in a very short time, he brought Qiu Qingyi and Liu Yaoguang out of Liu Yue Palace and out of Zhai Xing Lou directly!
When the golden door opened, the highly toxic poison rushed out. Even Ling Dong felt a little suffocated when he breathed in a trace of it. If not for his quick reaction and the Fire Gang, Ling Dong might have suffered as well!
Even though Ling Dong saved them in time, Liu Yaoguang, who bore the brunt of the poison, turned a little pale. She only recovered after Ling Dong expelled the poison!
Among the three of them, Qiu Qingyi was safe and sound. Even Ling Dong was shocked by the highly toxic poison, but Qiu Qingyi was completely fine!
"Why is there such a strong poison in this underground palace treasure trove?" Ling Dong was very puzzled by this!
Hearing Ling Dong's question, Liu Yaoguang, the only descendant of the Liu Royal Family 800 years ago, also shook her head blankly. She didn't know what was going on either.
If Liu Yaoguang had opened it alone, she probably wouldn't even know how she died!
"Let's wait for the poison gas to disperse before we go in to take a look!" Qiu Qingyi said.
In this kind of winding tunnel, the dispersal of the poison gas was extremely slow. Ling Dong and the others waited for a full day before the poison gas in the underground palace treasure trove was almost completely dispersed!
After carefully entering the underground palace treasure trove behind Liu Yue Palace, Ling Dong and the others were shocked!
Previously, when the underground palace's treasury was opened, their gazes were attracted by the glittering high-grade crystals and gold, but they did not notice that at the entrance of the underground palace's treasury, there were many skeletons and corpses.
What made Qiu Qingyi and Liu Yaoguang even more shocked was that the skeletons at the entrance were all black!
"These people were all poisoned to death by highly toxic poison!" After covering his mouth and nose and stepping over the corpses and studying them for a while, Ling Dong came to this conclusion!
"Hey, Junior Brother, the skeletons here are a little strange. There are also words carved on the ground. Come and take a look!" Qiu Qingyi and Liu Yaoguang were considered children of the Jianghu. The dried skeletons here only made them a little nervous!
"There are words?" Ling Dong looked in the direction that Qiu Qingyi was pointing at. After reading half of it, his face was filled with ecstasy!
