False evidence

Chapter 339 Fishing for Spiritual Bones at the Dragon Ascension Pavilion (10)

I didn't expect Eunuch Sun to agree so readily, and confirmed:
"Did you hear that clearly? What we want are the child's bones, and we might have to cut open your former master's stomach."

Eunuch Sun pointed at Liu Hong: "I am not him, and my ears are very sharp. Didn't you all say that I have been dead for hundreds of years? Even if I am the former master, after death I am nothing but a stinking carcass. I will not hesitate to do it. I will not be afraid, because I have seen scenes more terrifying than dissecting a corpse."

I thought to myself that this eunuch was quite shrewd. Not only was he quick-witted, but he was also eloquent and even noticed that Liu Hong's ears were just for show.

Liu the Blind looked at me with a half-smile and said, "Let me warn you beforehand, if you get possessed by Eunuch Sun, you might suffer from aftereffects."

I glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Of course I know what he meant by the aftereffects.

He was joking, but I'm not without my own thoughts.

But if I can't get the remains of the Emperor, I'll lose my girl. What's the point of keeping my manhood then?

Liu the Blind Man gave a few more instructions and then stretched out his left hand, which had been behind his back, in front of me.

What he was holding was a covered teacup.

I took it without saying anything.

This coffin has an extremely strong magnetism. Even if we had a metal knife, let alone a suitable tool, it probably wouldn't work.

If the body in the coffin is not decomposed and needs to be dissected to remove bones, the only thing that can be found is the tea set on the top layer.

Liu Hong lit up the last glow stick and handed it to me, while Liu the Blind handed me the metal plaque, and we retreated to a corner together.

Before I obtained the spirit bone, neither he nor Liu Hong could speak, and they even had to hold their breath at crucial moments.

I looked at Eunuch Sun: "Are you ready?"

"Just be ready."

Eunuch Sun moved right up behind me.

I felt a chill run down my back, and the next second, a series of images suddenly flashed through my mind.

I know this is because I received the memories of Eunuch Sun.

In an instant, all the previous questions were answered.

However, some of the most terrifying images made me feel like I was on the verge of a breakdown.

I finally understand what kind of scene Eunuch Sun saw that would scare him to death.

However, what I find most terrifying is—eggs.

Yes, that's right, it's an egg...

The iron plate fit perfectly into the groove on the coffin lid, forming a complete Bagua (Eight Trigrams) shape together with the other half of the coffin. It even rotated 180 degrees automatically.

The coffin lid, which looked to weigh a thousand pounds, was suddenly propelled into the air by a strange force and stuck directly to the iron ceiling!
"Your Majesty, this servant greets you."

Under the guidance of Eunuch Sun, I spoke in a high-pitched voice, and at the same time respectfully kowtowed to the open coffin.

Just as I got up, I suddenly felt the floor shake.

I didn't pay attention; I was just looking into the coffin as fast as I could.

Just one glance sent chills down my spine.

In my opinion, since the bodies of Eunuch Sun and the palace maids and eunuchs above them had not decomposed, Consort Li in the coffin would certainly not have decomposed either.

What I need to do is smash the teacup, use the shards to cut open the corpse's stomach, and take out the fetus!

The fact is, the body did not decompose, and there was not even a noticeable stench.

But I would rather see a half-rotten corpse than such a horrific scene.

The corpse in the coffin had its limbs bent out in a wide arc, like a grasshopper.

The body resembled a fish that had been gutted but was still struggling in its death throes, its back shoulders pressed against the bottom of the coffin, its chest and below suspended in the air, sticking upwards. It also looked as if it had only recently died, but the once luxurious burial clothes that had covered the corpse had been torn into strips.

Every inch of exposed flesh, including the face, was covered in blood!

So much so that I couldn't even see what the deceased originally looked like!

The corpse's outstretched hand, the fingernails... even the very tips of the fingers were worn away, a bloody mess...

Even without professional experience, seeing the shocking bloodstains and scratch marks on the inner wall of the coffin, I knew that the body was not damaged by external force, but that Consort Li was still alive when she was put into the coffin!

She was suffocating and lost consciousness, which led her to instinctively create the situation I am seeing now.

And the most terrifying thing is...

Her obviously swollen belly had ruptured, and through the dark red bloodstains, a wrinkled baby's face was revealed!
There was a time when I thought I was really mentally strong.

But after seeing the horrific scene inside the coffin, I...

No, it's not just me.

Lü Xin, Liang Kaiyuan, and even Eunuch Sun were all extremely shocked.

Specifically, for a considerable period of time, my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't remember where I was or what I was doing!
until……

A long sigh came from beside me.

I was suddenly jolted awake, and in an instant, I realized what was happening and reached out to pull the fetus out of the corpse's belly.

A hand suddenly grabbed my wrist.

"late."

The one who caught me was Blind Liu.

I looked at him, and he shook his head. "I can sense that the imperial spirit has dissipated."

"How could this be?" I felt my vision blurring.

Blind Liu pulled me back, lowering his eyes as he said:

"The aura has changed. It must be that the remains buried on Jade Ancient Mountain have seen the light of day. The Dragon Ascension Formation has broken, the imperial spirit has dissipated, leaving only the remains, which are now useless."

"What methods can be used to remedy this?"

Blind Liu shook his head.

He suddenly reached into his shorts and rubbed his hands together, then pulled them out and rubbed them on my face.

I hurriedly dodged away.

The two looked at each other in silence. I glanced again at Liu Hong, who was still standing in the corner, gave a bitter smile, and gave Liu the blind man the middle finger.
"There's no need to 'enlighten' me with this method. It's fate, I accept it!"

Blind Liu nodded: "As Xu Lao Er said, accepting fate doesn't mean giving up your beliefs. People with beliefs will find a way to solve problems."

Liu Hong also came over. "We should leave now."

Seeing that he kept looking around while speaking, and his expression kept changing, I barely suppressed my emotions and asked him if something was wrong.
The blind man, Liu, answered me: "You didn't notice, the ship is rising. The situation has broken down, and everything here will see the light of day again. Everything will return to dust... to ashes."

I recalled the tremor after the coffin was opened. "Is the ship floating upwards?"

Blind Liu nodded, pointed to the coffin, and then pointed downwards:
"I underestimated the ancients. Actually, this giant coffin made of lodestone is the biggest mechanism in the entire ship tomb. Beneath this ship tomb, at the bottom of the river, there should be lodestone!"
The entire ship graveyard sank vertically because it was magnetically attracted, which buried it in the silt at the bottom of the river. Now…”

He pointed to half of the Bagua on the coffin, "Magnets have positive and negative sides, just as heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang. Now yin and yang are reversed. The boat tomb that was originally submerged at the bottom of the river is pushed out of the silt by the reaction force of the magnetic ore, and is slowly rising due to the influence of magnetic force and water buoyancy."

He pouted and nodded at me: "The ancients were far superior to us in their wisdom in utilizing nature."

I looked at him, then at Liu Hong.

He glanced into the coffin one last time, then turned and walked up the stairs, saying, "Go to Guangxi! Find the remains of another emperor!"
