Book 1: Chapter 15.2: Shangxuan Imperial Mausoleum (1/2)
According to the results of Bai Qiuran’s scan, a total of eighteen corpses were sleeping in the tomb, and several other tombs were empty. The relics placed inside have been worn away by time.
Sweeping back and forth twice, Bai Qiuran found a strange thing.
“This mausoleum is also empty?”
His Soul Awareness scanned into the tomb of the sixteenth Emperor of Shangxuan.
“At least there should be some relics in this grave.”
In the tomb of the fifteenth Emperor of Shangxuan, the relics buried with the corpses were kept in clear outlines, but the tomb of the sixteenth emperor, which must appear in a later date, was empty.
“Go in and see.”
At the foot of Bai Qiuran’s foot, his body plunged directly into the soil, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the tomb of the sixteenth emperor.
The tomb was empty, there was only a huge sarcophagus, filled with toxic gases formed after being buried underground for years, but these had no effect on Bai Qiuran. After coming here, he quickly walked towards the sarcophagus and reached out to lift it up.
With a move of his hand, the rivets and machines used to seal the sarcophagus were shattered directly by Bai Qiuran’s great force, and the coffin flew up and was inserted into the soil layer above the tomb.
Bai Qiuran waved away the dust and looked into the sarcophagus. Sure enough, the yellow coffin was empty.
“Huh? What’s this?”
After glancing at it, Bai Qiuran suddenly found some black marks on the yellow brocade. These black marks originally seemed to be some kind of liquid, but now they have dried up. He touched it and placed it in front of his nose, smelling.
“Human blood?”
Bai Qiuran’s expression became focused, and he carefully looked at these black traces. When he first scanned here, because there was no energy fluctuation in these traces, he thought it was just the dirt-stained on the yellow brocade. But now when he took a closer look, he realized that these black traces might be runes, which formed a formation.
