Chapter 194 Contract with Gu Yunting
Most of the women lowered their heads slightly and looked down, holding different things in their hands. The front and last women were holding lanterns.
Gu Yunting was shocked by this scene. He turned around to look at Murong Xue and saw that she looked calm.
Murong Xue didn't stay here for long and went straight into the passage in the center of the palace.
Inside are boxes of various treasures.
She just ignored it and took a look, and didn't go forward to touch those things.
Because as soon as she came in here, there seemed to be a voice calling her to move forward.
Murong Xue walked forward following the sound of the shouting, and she had forgotten that Gu Yunting was following her.
She went straight through the palace and came to the back.
I didn't expect that there was a world behind this palace. I walked into the cave inside. It was wider and higher than the outside, and for some reason it was as bright as day.
There are five palaces inside, which are more magnificent, majestic and solemn than the one outside.
The one in the middle is the tallest and most prominent, and appears more majestic and magnificent than the others.
Below it, on the left and right, there are two smaller palaces arranged from top to bottom.
When Murong Xue approached, the first thing she saw was the stone tablet at the main entrance of the palace on her right hand side, which read: Long Yan, character, jade book...
On the stone tablet at the main entrance of the palace on the left opposite Long Yan was engraved: Gu Ye, style name, Chonghua...
After reading it, Murong Xue walked up five steps. On the stone tablet at the main entrance of the palace on the right was engraved: Yu Lan, with the name Yi Chen...
The stone tablet at the main entrance of the palace on the left opposite Yu Lan reads: Cang Yi, courtesy name, Yong Zhi...
The following is an introduction to these four people from their birth to their death.
Murong Xue walked to the stone tablet at the main entrance of the palace in the middle. On the stone tablet was engraved: Feng Liyue, the ninth emperor of Canglan Kingdom, and also the only female emperor...
After reading the introduction on the stone tablet, Murong Xue knelt down and kowtowed three times to the stone tablet.
Then she started from the right and kowtowed three times to each stone tablet.
Seeing this, Gu Yunting silently followed Murong Xue and started to kowtow.
Although he didn't know why Murong Xue did this, he just followed her.
When the two of them stood up after bowing to the five stone tablets, the floor tiles under their feet slowly opened from both sides, revealing a passage leading underground.
The mechanism still didn't make any sound, which shocked the two of them again.
What kind of existence is the ancient country of Canglan...
Murong Xue glanced at Gu Yunting with mixed feelings, said nothing, and walked away.
Of course, Gu Yunting also noticed Murong Xue's eyes, and he knew what she was thinking.
But he did not regret it and he strengthened his determination.
Seeing her walk away without saying anything, he shook his head helplessly and followed her.
When we got underground, although it was not as bright as day above, the walls were inlaid with luminous pearls as big as an adult's fist, which emitted a soft warm light and made people feel very comfortable.
When they walked in, they saw five sarcophagi on the high platform at the end. They knew who they were without having to guess.
The two men looked at each other, walked to a place not far from the five sarcophagi, knelt down naturally, and kowtowed again.
After the two men finished bowing, but before they stood up, there was a very subtle "click" sound on the ground in front of each sarcophagus, and an exquisite box slowly rose from the ground.
Murong Xue was stunned for a while, then she stood up and walked over, sat down in front of the coffin with auspicious dragon and phoenix in the middle, picked up a box and opened it. Inside was a letter, a purple jade slip and a colorful bead.
After reading it, he put it down, reached out and picked up another box, opened it, and inside was a yellow warm jade pendant and a purple jade slip.
Gu Yunting pushed all the boxes in front of her, but Murong Xue picked them up without opening them.
Only then did she realize that there was a surname on the bottom of each box. She picked up the two boxes she had opened and saw that the surnames were Feng and Yu at the bottom of the boxes.
He looked up and said to Gu Yunting, "Open the box with the surname Gu on it and see if you can open it."
Gu Yunting picked up the three boxes and looked at the box with the surname Gu engraved on it. He asked if it was opened or not: "It cannot be opened."
Murong Xue also saw that the box was motionless: "Use your profound power and try again."
Gu Yunting took the box, added mysterious power to his hands, and opened it this time. Inside was a jade pendant engraved with the traditional Chinese character "顾" (Gu), and underneath it was also a green jade slip.
Murong Xue also saw what was inside: "Bite your finger and drop the blood on the jade slip to see if you can open it."
Gu Yunting asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Murong Xue didn't explain either. Could she say that she learned all this from reading fantasy novels?
Somewhat firmly, he took out a knife from the side of his boot and handed it to him: "Do as you say, mumble."
Seeing her like this, Gu Yunting had no choice but to do as he was told. He picked up a knife, cut his finger, and dripped blood on the jade slip and jade pendant.
The jade pendant and jade slip were stained with his blood and only emitted a faint light before disappearing.
Murong Xue was a little confused when she saw this. Didn’t the novels say that the contract would be successful if blood was dripped?
As I was thinking about it, my hand involuntarily picked up the letter and opened it. It was all written in traditional Chinese characters.
Murong Xue had a hard time guessing what was going on.
Those jade slips are indeed martial arts techniques, but if they want to practice them, they need to drip her blood into the jade slips. Haha, forget it.
She doesn't think about that yet.
Gu Yunting felt the change in her breath: "What's wrong?"
Murong Xue stood up with the box in her hand: "Nothing, let's go. You can choose a few of the treasures outside, don't be greedy."
Gu Yunting obviously didn't believe her perfunctory words. He stood up and pulled Murong Xue into his arms: "Tell me, I can accept it. No matter what the result is."
Murong Xue looked up at Gu Yunting, their eyes met. Seeing the tenderness in his eyes, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart: "Nothing, just talking about the property outside. We can take some away."
"Murong Xue, you are not a child who can lie. Be good and tell me. Don't make me guess, okay?" Gu Yunting hugged her tighter and said gently.
Murong Xue was upset by his behavior: "Do you know me well?"
"Be good and listen to me. Tell me what that is? Huh?" Gu Yunting said in a coaxing and pleading manner.
"Let me go and I'll tell you."
Gu Yunting knew that this was her biggest concession and let her go.
