Chapter 159 The Royal Family as a Guide
At the command, a group of people quickly rushed to the top of the stairs.

The strange thing was that the journey was smooth and they didn't encounter any obstacles.

There are no mechanisms, zombies, guards, etc.!

Occasionally, there were people kneeling on the steps, pretending to wipe the lamps, which made people feel a little scared.

Everyone was a little cautious at first, but after rushing up the hundreds of steps, no accidents happened.

So everyone's speed is even faster!

It was not until halfway through that he discovered that there were human terracotta guards standing around the steps.

They were fully armed and stood there coldly, as if they were staring at Chen Liancang and the others, which was creepy.

"Father-in-law! Something is wrong!"

Hu Bafeng found Chen Liancang and asked, "Why is there no mechanism?"

"Where are the poisons, the poison needles, the crossbows, the falling rocks, the traps... Why aren't there any of them?"

Chen Liancang sneered and said, "This is an important royal place, the mausoleum of Taizu. At the top is Taizu's Golden Palace. Who would set a trap in the palace?"

"Aren't you afraid of tomb robbers?"

"Grave robber?"

Chen Liancang asked back: "You were also a tomb robber before, would you come to rob the imperial tomb?"

"I'm not a fool...I understand!"

Hu Bafeng said: "The imperial mausoleum is a sacred place of the royal family. There must be countless soldiers guarding it. There is really no need for traps, unless there is a change of dynasty..."

"Ok?"

"The villain is too talkative."

"Stop talking nonsense and go up the stairs quickly."

"promise!"

Hu Bafeng secretly glanced at the vast underground capital city at the foot of the stairs, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

There are countless hairy zombies in this underground capital, at least tens of thousands of them.

Unless a large army was mobilized, how could ordinary tomb robbers possibly get through so many hairy zombies and reach the Golden Throne Hall on the steps?

Moreover, they were able to enter the underground palace thanks to the Shadow Guard Token in the eunuch's hand.

If ordinary tomb robbers try to break in by force, they will inevitably be attacked by countless powerful crossbows!

Soon, in less than a cup of tea, everyone had rushed onto the white marble steps.

At this time, above the steps, there is a platform covering a large area.

And right in front of everyone's eyes was a magnificent golden palace.

On the plaque of the palace are engraved three big characters "Golden Palace".

The surroundings were as dark as ink, and it was impossible to see the true appearance of the entire hall.

"It is indeed the Golden Palace..."

"boom!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, another line of lights lit up from far to near.

But the strange thing is that these flames are dozens of times larger than before in terms of burning range and brightness.

Not a candle, but... a brazier!
It is still the faint blue flame, still emitting a strange fragrance.

"Look!"

"There's someone there!"

"No, it's not a human! It's a figurine...!"

When the flames jumped in front of everyone, they discovered that outside the Golden Throne Hall, there were rows of tall and burly figures standing.

They are all terracotta warriors wearing armor and holding sharp weapons!
There were rows of people standing in front of them, numbering at least tens of thousands.

In the center behind it, there were actually rows of carriages made of Qingtong. Warriors stood on the carriages, staring coldly at the front.

At the very front, there are six generals riding bronze horses, wearing cloaks and full body armor!

Everyone stood in front of them like little children.

"Is this a living person or a dead person?"

Chen Jianping swallowed his saliva and felt a little nervous at this moment.

So many Terracotta Warriors stood in front of everyone, with expressionless faces and a cold feeling all over their bodies, which made people feel creepy.

And these burning blue lights make this place even more terrifying.

Chen Liancang frowned and said, "Don't say anything, just follow us and be careful around you."

"promise!"

More than a hundred Jinyiwei immediately moved forward cautiously, looking carefully at the terracotta warriors around them.

When they got close to the Terracotta Warriors, everyone was so scared that they dared not breathe.

After the Terracotta Warriors were in the lead, nothing happened.

As they continued to move forward, nothing happened!
The Terracotta Warriors neither stopped them nor attacked them.

It was as if...waiting for them.

Chen Liancang still held the Shadow Guard token in one hand, moving forward while carefully sensing the surrounding atmosphere.

So quiet!

In the entire tomb, there was not a single sound other than the footsteps and breathing of more than a hundred people.

Of course, no other sound is the best.

If there is, God knows what will happen.

Just as everyone walked to the front, a mechanical friction sound was suddenly heard.

But they saw a figure walking straight ahead and slowly appearing in front of them.

The lights flickered, and everyone opened their eyes, only to find that the person who appeared in front of them was a eunuch dressed in bronze and navy blue palace clothes!
The eunuch had an expressionless face and bronze skin, as if he was made of clay, but he just stood in front of everyone coldly, causing everyone's breathing to stop.

"Who are you?"

"What is it?"

The leader, Chen Liancang, used the same old trick again, raised the Shadow Guard token in his hand and said: "I am the leader of the Shadow Guard, and I have an urgent matter to ask to see Your Majesty!"

"Shadow Guard, you meet the requirements and can enter the Imperial Mausoleum!"

"What are the identities of the rest of you?"

Chen Liancang frowned slightly. How did these terracotta warriors move around and communicate with people?
He thought to himself and whispered, "Everyone, take out your identity tokens."

A group of people took off their tokens from their waists and held them high in their hands.

"Shadow Guard, Chen Xiao!"

"Jinyiwei captain, Chen Jianping!"

"The tomb raider, Hu Bafeng!"

Intermittent voices were heard, and more than a hundred people took out their identity tokens.

"Shadow Guard, you meet the requirements and can enter the Imperial Mausoleum!"

But strangely, the eunuch figurine was still repeating this sentence. Chen Liancang glanced at the eunuch, then at Chen Xiao, and said, "Chen Xiao and I will go in, and you wait here."

"promise!"

"Click...!"

At this moment, the eunuch puppet suddenly moved again, and the sound turned into a hoarse duck voice, as if one of the rusty iron plates that was originally rubbed had turned into rough ceramic.

"Who are you? You don't have an identity token, and you want to assassinate His Majesty!"

"assassin!"

"Get this guy!"

"Click..."

"Kakaka..."

A harsh friction sound was heard, and the surrounding Terracotta Warriors all turned around mechanically, with their weapons pointing towards the center of the team.

Many Jinyiwei were frightened and retreated, revealing the figure among them.

That is... Linghu Cang!

His face was blue at this moment, and he was obviously trying hard to suppress the corpse poison in his body.

When everyone was looking at him in horror, as well as the cold eyes of the surrounding Terracotta Warriors, especially the eunuch figurine right in front of him, his face suddenly changed.

"Eunuch! You said you would spare my life..."

"Crack!"

"Kaka..."

A dozen or so Terracotta Warriors began to move, and they gathered towards the center.

The Jinyiwei around him didn't know whether to move or not, and all looked at Chen Liancang.

"Leave on your own, and we won't do anything to you."

"Damn...!"

Linghu Cang cursed inwardly, then used his lightness skills to step on the still Terracotta Warriors and rushed outside at a very fast speed.

"assassin!"

"assassin!"

"assassin!"

Suddenly, hoarse voices came from the surrounding darkness, and the harsh sound of bowstring friction suddenly sounded.

immediately……

"Whoosh!"

"Whizzing!!"

At least a dozen powerful crossbows shot out from the darkness, directly shooting Linghu Cang in mid-air into a hedgehog!

This young hero from the Canglong Sword School, who survived passing through the powerful crossbow channel and did not die in the hairy zombie nest, died at the hands of the Terracotta Warriors.

Many Jinyiwei couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and Chen Xiao whispered: "Godfather?"

"Now that we are here, we must not disappoint His Majesty's expectations of us."

"go!"

"Yes!"

After ordering the Jinyiwei to stay on the spot, Chen Liancang and Chen Xiao slowly climbed the steps in front of the Golden Palace.

Nothing happened when the two men passed by the eunuch figurine.

The eunuch figurine also slowly retreated into the darkness.

After a few breaths, the two of them had already stepped to the front of the stairs.

The tall Golden Throne Hall was located in front of them, giving the two a feeling of worshipping.

Chen Liancang reacted quickly, took a step forward and reached out to push the door, but found that the door was very heavy and solid. He was unable to push it with his innate cultivation level?
"Godfather, look here!"

Chen Xiao suddenly pointed at the bottom of the gate and shouted, and Chen Liancang also looked down.

There were actually lines of writing carved on the bluestone slab right in front of the Golden Throne Hall!

Chen Liancang took two steps back and looked over quickly.

"The blood rain from the sky has cut off the path to immortality. Descendants of the Zheng family, after the spiritual energy is revived, you can drip some of your essence and blood, enter my palace, and pass on my inheritance!"

"If anyone other than the descendants of the Zheng family enters without permission, they will be annihilated!"

The last few words seemed to be made of swords, revealing a chilling chill.

"Is this... the inheritance of the immortal way?"

Chen Xiao was surprised and asked, "Godfather, godfather?"

Chen Liancang also reacted quickly and said immediately: "Chen Xiao, you go out alone and report everything that happened here to His Majesty."

"It seems that this place is the inheritance place specially established by Taizu for the descendants of Zheng family. Let Your Majesty come here quickly."

"promise!"

Chen Xiao said in surprise, and immediately turned away from the steps and ran quickly towards the outside of the imperial mausoleum.

As a martial artist at the Grandmaster level, the hairy zombies in the underground capital posed no threat to him at all.

Tianshou Mountain Palace.

It was already bright outside. Zheng Yi looked at Chen Xiao in surprise and asked:
"You mean, under the Emperor Taizu's Mausoleum, there is an underground capital city and an underground palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"There is no danger inside. As long as you have an official token specially issued by the court, you can walk freely?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The Golden Throne Hall is the place of inheritance left by our great ancestor. Can the descendants open the door of the Golden Throne Hall with their essence and blood?"

"Yes... that's what's written on the floor of the Golden Throne Hall. We don't dare to try it casually."

Chen Xiao said cautiously: "Your Majesty, look..."

Zheng Yi frowned. Asking him to go to the tomb of Emperor Taizu, is this a joke?
Not to mention whether there are still dangers in the underground palace that they have not discovered, even if there is a special method of opening the door in front of the Golden Throne Hall by dripping the essence and blood of Zheng's descendants, he would not dare to go!

Even though my surname is Zheng, I am not a member of the real royal family of Dayu Zheng.

Not to mention himself, even his ten daughters and one prince are not descendants of the royal Zheng family!
"I definitely can't go. According to what Chen Xiao said, anyone who is not an official of the imperial court will be attacked by the Terracotta Warriors."

"And I am not from the royal family. If the blood doesn't match, it will definitely cause a chain reaction."

Zheng Yi thought quickly in his mind.

"And we have to go. We have already reached the center of the imperial mausoleum. If we don't go now, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others."

"Especially Chen Liancang..."

"It would be great if there were other royal descendants here, but unfortunately all the other rebel kings have rebelled!"

"Other royal relatives cannot be brought here casually. If they find out that I have dug up the tomb of Emperor Taizu, it will definitely cause a stir in the court!"

"Ok?"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Oh, right, it seems that I really have a member of the Zheng royal family on my side!"
