Chapter 639 In the Coffin
Liu Sheng was once again shocked by this twisted smile.

She suddenly lost her grip and knocked the bronze mirror off the table. The bronze mirror fell to the ground with a crisp "clang" sound, echoing in the empty palace.

The entire palace also made a crisp sound, and the splendor collapsed. The golden and magnificent pillars and walls instantly turned into countless fragments. The palace maids who had lost their facial features broke like porcelain, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.

In an instant, all the brilliant colors were stripped away, leaving only darkness.

The only thing that remained unchanged in the darkness was the eerie mummy face.

The face did not disappear.

Instead, it was very close, facing her face.

The dry skin was tightly attached to the bones, and a pair of dried eyeballs were embedded in the eye sockets, staring at her darkly. They seemed lifeless, but seemed to be filled with some indescribable consciousness.

There was a rich scent of incense all around, and the silk felt smooth beneath my body, just like the one in that palace.

Liu Sheng reacted and realized that he seemed to have entered the dream of the mummy in front of him?
So where is she now? The answer is obvious.

It was a small and claustrophobic space, with only a few luminous pearls embedded inside barely emitting a faint light, illuminating the mummy opposite. The wooden walls engraved with inscriptions were within reach, and a suffocating feeling of oppression enveloped her.

She's in a coffin!
Realizing this, Liu Sheng's heart sank suddenly.

She pushed the coffin lid desperately, trying to escape from this creepy space and away from the mummy that was so tightly pressed against her.

However, the coffin lid did not move at all, as if it was firmly embedded or nailed in place.

"Impossible! If I can get in, I can get out!"

Liu Sheng gritted his teeth and tried to mobilize the power of the small tentacles in his body.

However, the dragon vein moved first, turning into a stream of light, flying out from her wrist, circling around the coffin, making a low sound, and returning to her wrist again.

After a moment, the coffin lid shook slightly, and the heavy pressure suddenly eased. Liu Sheng pushed the lid open in one go.

A cold wind rushed in, she took a deep breath, turned over and climbed out, fell to the ground, and gasped heavily.

Finally, the nose was no longer filled with the overpowering scent of spices.

She breathed freely and finally raised her eyes to look around.

This is a huge tomb chamber with countless luminous pearls inlaid on the ceiling, but it still seems as if there is no end in sight.

The coffin was placed in the center of a high platform, with long steps below.

There are pottery figurines neatly arranged on both sides of the steps. The closest ones are civil officials and military generals wearing old court robes. Each of them has a solemn expression and is displayed on both sides of the gold-lined corridor.

Further away were palace maids in red and green skirts and eunuchs in blue, with solemn expressions, heading towards the platform.

The four walls of the tomb were covered with murals. Liu Sheng looked at them one by one. The paintings recorded the life of a woman - she was brave and fearless on the battlefield, drove away the monsters with her father, and then built the Great Wall.

Later, when his father died, the woman succeeded to the throne in a struggle, and his brother was exiled thousands of miles away.

Later on, the woman promoted the policy of loving the people and respected the teachings of theology, and finally, with the support of the temple, she became the strongest person in the world and ascended to heaven.

Some details of this story are slightly different from what Liu Sheng knew in another world, but it is obviously the story of Emperor Mingyuan, the only female emperor in the Tang Dynasty so far.

Liu Sheng's gaze fell on the center of the mural, where the woman sitting on the dragon throne had a dignified and solemn expression.

He turned his head again and looked at the mummy lying quietly in the coffin.

Liu Sheng's eyes became more complicated.

It seems that this person is Emperor Mingyuan.

【But why do we lie with her? 】

A chill rose in Liu Sheng's heart.

Not only that, she didn't even know how she came to this place inexplicably, let alone where Qiao Yu and Old Lady Su had gone.

Her mind was in a mess, but her intuition told her that everything here was filled with unspeakable weirdness.

While thinking, Liu Sheng raised his foot and prepared to look around for an exit, but when he took the first step, his wrist suddenly tightened.

Dry skin feels stinging when it is scraped on the hands.

She looked down and saw a slender, dry hand tightly grasping her, with yellow and cracked nails, protruding joints, and skin stretched tight over the bones like the branches of a dead tree.

Liu Sheng felt a slight chill on her back and subconsciously turned her head to look at the coffin, only to see that the woman who had been lying quietly had now sat up, her eye sockets sunken and dark, staring at her blankly.

This look made Liu Sheng's heart sink, but strangely, she did not feel any malice.

She tried to push the hand away gently, but as soon as she broke free, the dry hand grabbed her again with even greater force.

At the same time, the dragon vein on her wrist began to flow slowly, circling around their intertwined wrists several times, and a low dragon roar came out.

The dragon vein’s intention is clear - don’t let go.

Liu Sheng was helpless and asked softly, "So... I want to take the emperor's body with me?"

The woman in the coffin did not answer, nor did she move, but continued to stare at her quietly.

The little dragon head of the dragon vein nodded firmly, as if answering for her.

Liu Sheng frowned and took a tentative step forward.

Surprisingly, the withered figure actually stood up shakily, staggered out of the coffin, and fell heavily on the platform with a clumsy stumble and fall, making a dull sound.

Then, the mummy slowly propped up its body, and with one dry hand, it stiffly smoothed the bright yellow dragon robe carefully, took out its golden crown from the coffin, and forcefully put it on its fragile head.

Then, the foot in the embroidered shoes took a step forward and approached Liu Sheng, very determined.

Liu Sheng didn't know what this person was like.

But the current situation seems to be following me.

Thinking that in another world, this person replaced the Supreme God and became the God of the Underworld.

From this point of view, the owner of Xiaoxiang Tower may have entered the tomb at some unknown time and took Emperor Mingyuan away...

As for how to take it away, Liu Sheng looked at his wrist.

Maybe it's relying on the dragon vein?

She remembered that she had only seen eight dragon corpses in the warehouse at first, and then she thought of the name Jiulong Lake.

It doesn't seem to be groundless.

But there were originally nine dragon veins.

As a result, now Liu Sheng relied on this dragon vein brought from another world to resonate with the royal bloodline here. He was guided by the dragon vein while half asleep and half awake, and inexplicably broke into this tomb.

Then he lay in the coffin of Emperor Mingyuan...

However, lying down is not entirely without benefits.

She used her free hand to take out the low-profile version of "The World", scanned herself, and suddenly discovered that her mental value had been restored to full value.

No wonder the baby shadows that were always hiding in my eyes have finally disappeared.

Moreover, not only that, she could feel that her cultivation had risen a lot, infinitely close to the peak of the Dongxuan Realm.

If she goes one step further, she will be able to reach the legendary realm of Shenzang.

Unfortunately, there is no cultivation level detection now.

And the world hasn't entered this part of the formula yet.

【Remember this later.】

In this way, her original purpose of entering the depths of the tomb was partially achieved.

Although I didn't break through the Shenzang realm in one fell swoop, which is a bit regrettable, I still have to work hard to find a way to break through.

Liu Sheng turned around and looked at Emperor Mingyuan behind him. His dry hand was tightly holding Liu Sheng's hand, motionless, and his eyes were as calm as a deep well.

Liu Sheng sighed softly and said, "Well, since you insist on following me, let's go."

She walked towards the end of the corridor, and behind her, the stiff but steady footsteps followed closely.

Emperor Mingyuan dragged his bright yellow skirt, his steps were clumsy but dignified, as if the imperial spirit of hundreds of years ago had not disappeared with his death.
