Through the eunuch, the Emperor of Daliang proudly showed off to Li Huowang, "Brother, are you scared? Didn't expect that I would be the emperor!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Li Huowang bowed to him. He had intended to leave peacefully, but it was clear that this young emperor had other plans.

"Hey! Thanks for reminding me last time. If it weren't for you, I would have been deceived! You're a good person. From now on, you can be an official by my side. You can ask for any position."

"Nonsense! This is the talk of a tyrant!" The national teacher's words instantly changed the expression on the Emperor's face, and he became more restrained.

Although he was the Emperor of Daliang, there were some things he couldn't decide on his own.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you need to do today?"

The Emperor of Daliang stood up straight and replied solemnly, "To pay respects to the late Emperor, I will go to the imperial temple today."

"Indeed." The national teacher's heavy eyelids drooped, and he stopped saying anything else.

Although the Emperor of Daliang was frightened by the national teacher, it was clear that he was very pleased with Li Huowang's presence. Especially after Li Huowang helped him during the Shangsi Festival.

But Li Huowang didn't think so. He just wanted to get it over with quickly. Miao Miao was still waiting outside.

Li Huowang thought that going to the so-called imperial temple would be the end of it, but they unexpectedly returned the same way and entered the circular archway they had passed through before.

The eunuch who claimed to be the Grand Supervisor had already knelt in a row with a group of little eunuchs, respectfully welcoming the Emperor of Daliang.

On the eight immortal tables in front of them, seven basin-sized jade plates were arranged in a row, each with various things on them.

Among them were crystal-clear flower buds waiting to bloom, white eggs that were soft on the surface and constantly wriggling, and a piece of meat made into a wish.

Different things were placed in different bowls, but the last jade butterfly was different. It was empty, except for occasional black smoke floating out, there was nothing on it.

Li Huowang immediately understood that the last jade butterfly was where he had placed the Ling Nie he had caught. The thing he had worked so hard to catch was actually an offering to the deceased emperor, just for display.

For a moment, Li Huowang felt that his previous efforts were not worth it.

No wonder the Emperor of Daliang came as soon as he made contact with the Ling Nie. He had been waiting all along.

"Take them all." A row of eunuchs next to Li Huowang walked out with their heads bowed, holding the jade plates high above their heads, following behind the Emperor of Daliang and heading towards the imperial temple.

After another two quarters of an hour, when Li Huowang smelled the scent of sandalwood with his keen nose, he knew they had arrived at the imperial temple.

From the outside, this so-called imperial temple was no different from an ordinary temple, just larger and more solemn.

When they arrived, the unruly Emperor of Daliang became much more restrained. After solemnly paying respects to the imperial temple, he entered with the eunuchs and palace maids.

The imperial temple was large, and candles were placed neatly around it, making the room somewhat hot. Some blind and deaf old eunuchs knelt in the corner, knocking on wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures day and night.

Just as the Emperor of Daliang knelt on the cushion and worshipped the neatly arranged tablets in the imperial temple, he was pulled up by an old eunuch.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Aren't we supposed to be here today?" Li Huowang heard the surprise in the Emperor of Daliang's words. It seemed that he was also surprised.

As the old eunuch whispered something in his ear, he reluctantly stood up and led the group towards the back of the tablets.

A bright yellow silk cloth hanging on the wall was pulled aside, revealing a majestic black stone door with a carving of a nine-headed dragon with sharp teeth and claws, lifelike.

When the eunuchs slowly opened the huge stone door, a chilling coldness hit them, making the back of their necks feel cold.

The palace maids stopped, and only the men walked in. Even Lian Zhibei was stopped.

Seeing this rule, Li Huowang couldn't help but ask in his mind, "Isn't this the ancestral hall of the Daliang royal family?"

Amidst his doubts, they walked in. The place was very large and spacious, and even the sound of footsteps echoed.

The whole place had a funnel-like shape, with high walls and a low center, showing off the royal extravagance.

Everywhere was shining with golden light, and even the huge coffin at the lowest point, like a house, was made of gold. Nine dragons of different shapes were chained to it, pulling the golden coffin in all directions.

As soon as Li Huowang entered, he was immediately shocked by this strange scene.

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin?" Li Huowang carefully pondered and felt that it didn't seem like it. It wasn't that nine dragons were pulling the coffin, but rather that the coffin was being dismembered by the nine dragons.

"Wow! This place is really big!" The Emperor of Daliang looked around in amazement.

But after looking around for a while, under the guidance of an old eunuch, he placed the seven offerings on the ground and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times towards the coffin in the middle.Li Huowang initially thought he would have to bow as well, but he noticed that even the eunuchs around him remained still. It seemed that they were not worthy of bowing here.

"So, the deceased emperor of Daliang is buried here? I thought he would be buried in a tomb," said the illusion of the Taoist sects that deceive beings.

As Li Huowang was carefully examining the extremely ornate patterns on the massive coffin, he suddenly noticed something was off.

With the continuous kneeling of the Daliang emperor, the huge golden coffin slowly opened.

"Father?" The Daliang emperor was taken aback. Because the coffin was at the lowest position, he immediately saw what was inside from his position in the outer circle. "Father!!"

The Daliang emperor rushed over excitedly, but was firmly blocked by several old eunuchs. "What are you doing!! My father is still moving!! He's still alive! Why are you locking him up!"

"Your Majesty, this is the dragon vein! The foundation of our Daliang, it must not be desecrated!"

What the Daliang emperor saw, Li Huowang also saw. The Daliang emperor who had once fought a deadly battle with the Taoist sects that deceive beings was tightly bound by chains engraved with dragon patterns.

Although he was wearing a large imperial robe embroidered with dragon patterns, it could not hide the peculiar changes on his body, the dark golden dragon scales, and the dragon whiskers twisting like tentacles.

What chilled Li Huowang even more was that he was not alone. This Daliang emperor was stacked on top of another person, and the person beneath him was also stacked on someone else, one after another, seemingly endless.

The inside of the coffin appeared extremely deep and dark. The emperors of Daliang from past generations were nailed in mid-air by chains, neatly stacked into a vertical corpse pillar.

Li Huowang also noticed that this corpse pillar was not still. It twisted with a certain howling sound from the depths of the coffin, as if trying to break free from the chains. Their movements were like a dragon bound?

Thanks to the Meat Bun Alliance Master for the reward in May! I owe a lot, but I will work hard to pay it back! Thank you for the support of all the creditors!
