The Imperial Tomb Forest is located in the western suburbs of Shengming City, which is a vast mountain range, and from a distance, it is pitch black and gloomy.

Above the cemetery, there are layers of dark clouds, completely obscuring the stars.

Before the fall of the Shengming Central Empire, the royal cemetery had always been a forbidden area, heavily guarded, and no monk would want to get closer.

Eight hundred years have passed, and the outside of the cemetery is full of snow and fallen leaves, and overgrown with weeds, giving people a sense of dilapidation and depression.

In fact, the Imperial City Tomb Forest is not only a forbidden area, it is also a forbidden place for murder in itself.

The ancestors of the Zhang family of the imperial family used emperor-level means to arrange more than one emperor-level formation in the tomb forest to protect the tombs of emperors of previous dynasties.

When Shengming City was captured, there were creatures in the Holy Realm who wanted to break into the royal tomb and steal the treasures in the tomb.

However, without exception, after breaking in, none of them were able to get out alive.

As the crown prince of the Shengming Central Empire, Zhang Ruochen naturally knew the way to enter the royal tomb, and according to some special routes, he could avoid the attack of the formation.

"You must stay close behind me and make no mistakes, or you will get into big trouble. Zhang Ruochen reminded.

Walking into the mountains where the royal tomb forest is located, the air becomes even colder, and in some areas, ghost fires fly out of the ground, turning into skeletons, dragon snakes, and soldiers.

"It's not an ordinary ghost fire, it's a flame condensed by a Great Emperor-level formation, even if a Saint Realm creature gets a little bit of it, it will immediately burn into ashes. ”

Hearing this, the four feet of the elephant swallowing rabbit were trembling, and he felt that his legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he followed the rules and did not dare to take a wrong step.

The area occupied by the royal cemetery forest is quite vast and boundless, Zhang Ruochen and others walked dozens of miles in a row, but they still only walked a small corner of the area.

The surrounding mountains, ravines, and jungles are all silent, in stark contrast to the bustling scene of Shengming City.

Suddenly, the elephant-swallowing rabbit monster screamed, startling everyone to stop immediately.

"What's going on?"

The holy qi in Zhang Ruochen's body surged rapidly, and he pinched out the palm prints with both hands, showing a defensive posture.

The elephant rabbit pointed not far away and said, "There are footprints on the ground." ”

Qingmo let out a breath, just now, she was also very nervous, thinking that she had encountered some kind of danger.

"Pots and pots, it's just a few footprints, don't make a fuss, you're almost scared to death. ”

Qingmo stuck out his tongue and pinched the elephant-swallowing rabbit's ears vigorously, almost lifting it up.

Zhang Ruochen did not relax his vigilance, walked to the side of the footprints, and observed carefully.

It is surrounded by trees with dense foliage, so the footprints are not covered with snow.

"The footprints are still fresh, and someone must have come in in the last two days. Who the hell is it, how can you enter the royal cemetery?"

The footprints are large and small, of different shades, and they are not from the same person, obviously not Kong Lanyou.

"Everyone be careful, it is estimated that there are some other people who break into the royal cemetery. Zhang Ruochen's face was quite serious.

You must know that the Imperial Tomb Forest is definitely a murder forbidden place, and the characters who can avoid the emperor-level formation and break into this place are definitely not ordinary people.

The group continued to move forward.

It didn't take long for them to find blood on the ground, and not so long ago, there had been a battle here.

The elephant swallower's nose sniffed vigorously, and he rushed to an open area, tossed away the thick snow, and dug out a large pile of dirt.

Beneath the dirt, six corpses were dug up.

The six corpses were all blackened by the flames and turned into charred corpses, like charcoal in the shape of six humanoids.

Zhang Ruochen walked to the side of one of the corpses and used the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword to scrape open the outer layer of the charred corpse, revealing the bones inside.

The bones were actually metallic, extremely hard, and there were wisps of pure holy qi gushing out. It can be seen from this that when they are alive, they must have quite strong cultivation.

"Huh!"

Zhang Ruochen has made a new discovery.

On the bones of the corpse, there are some strange lines, emitting a faint golden light.

Huang Yanchen said: "That's a corpse pattern, only the monks of the Ancient Clan and the Dead Zen Sect know how to burn it." Carving corpse patterns on the bones, membranes, and meridians of corpses can refine powerful war corpses. ”

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little gloomy, and he scraped the charred flesh of the other five charred corpses, and also found corpse lines on the bones.

"They should be war corpses refined by the Ancient Clan. ”

Zhang Ruochen once saw the "Dead Zen Buddhism" of the Dead Zen Sect, and the corpse patterns recorded on it have a kind of Buddha rhyme, which is completely different from the corpse patterns on the six charred corpses on the ground.

The ancient clan of chasing corpses has a very deep heritage, and is proficient in many ancient secret arts, and can enter and exit all kinds of dangerous ruins and steal the corpses of the ancestors of major families.

Only by using more powerful corpses can the more powerful war corpses can be refined.

The corpse-chasing ancient clan not only stole the tomb of the great sage, but it is said that in their heyday, they even broke into the tomb of an ancient god and took away half of the corpse of the god.

"The corpse chasing ancient clan broke into the royal family's tomb, could it be that they wanted to steal the bodies of the Ming emperors of the Shengming Central Empire?"

In addition to the emperor's corpse, there is nothing else, it is worth driving the corpse Gu clan to take such a big danger and break into the royal tomb.

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists, and two waves of anger welled up in his eyes.

The yin spirit of the ancestors should not be disturbed. The corpse of an ancestor should not become someone else's battle puppet.

The actions of the corpse chasing ancient clan were obviously more hateful than the Ling Xiao Heavenly King's Mansion.

Huang Yanchen said: "The six war corpses on the ground should have been refined from the corpses of the creatures of the Holy Realm, but they were burned by a kind of flame. It can be seen that in the royal cemetery, there should be an extremely powerful tomb keeper. ”

"Grave keeper?"

Zhang Ruochen thought of Kong Lanyou for the first time.

Of course, it is also possible that it is not Kong Lanyou.

With Kong Lanyou's cultivation, if he really made a move, the six war corpses may have turned into ashes, how could they be preserved so completely?

Moreover, on the bodies of the six war corpses, there is no breath left by Kong Lanyou.

Zhang Ruochen asked the Elephant Swallowing Rabbit and the Demon Ape to bury the six charred corpses again, and said, "Only six damaged war corpses were found, but no monks of the ancient clan who drove the corpses were found, where did they go?" Not necessarily...... They have escaped from the royal cemetery. Qingmo said cautiously.

"If that's the case, it's for the best. Zhang Ruochen said.

Zhang Ruochen was already in his heart, secretly writing down this account of the corpse chasing the ancient clan. Dare to fight the idea of the ancestors of the Zhang family, no matter what, they have to pay some price.

Continuing to move forward, everyone's horizons finally became a little broader.

I saw that between the mountains and mountains, there were huge stone monuments and dense mausoleums.

Some of these mausoleums are even taller than the mountains, exuding a formidable majesty. In the mausoleum, the yin qi released condensed into clouds, forming purple, silver, and golden brilliance.

Zhang Ruochen crossed a cyan stone bridge and walked towards a relatively small mausoleum.

Even though it is relatively short, it is dozens of feet tall and is made of huge stones.

In front of the mausoleum, there is a quaint stone stele, which is a hundred zhang high, Zhang Ruochen stands under the stele, only the size of a grain of dust.

On the back of the stele, an inscription is engraved.

On the front of the stele, there are only two vigorous and powerful words - Houling.

There is no exact name.

In front of the monument, there is an empty square, there are no fallen leaves on the ground, and the falling snowflakes have not completely covered the bluestone, apparently someone has just cleaned it.

"Queen Mother, the child is not filial, and he has not come to see you for 800 years. ”

Zhang Ruochen knelt on the ground and bowed to the mausoleum.

Huang Yanchen walked to Zhang Ruochen's right side, knelt down, and bowed together.

Behind them, Qingmo, Elephant Swallowing Rabbit, and Demon Ape also had solemn eyes, knelt on the ground, and faced the direction of the mausoleum.

Not far away, at the edge of the square, under a plane tree with a diameter of two zhang, a beautiful woman with white hair walked out of the hole in the tree.

It was Kong Lanyu.

Kong Lanyou's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen, who was kneeling in the center of the square, a pair of beautiful and moving eyes, with an extremely complex emotion, flowing with crystal tears.

Even though she had already received the letter from Zhang Ruochen and knew that he was still alive, she still suffered from gains and losses, and was very afraid that the letter was forged by someone else.

Therefore, Kong Lanyou has been waiting in front of her aunt's grave and has never left half a step.

Only when he saw Zhang Ruochen enter the royal cemetery and kneel in front of his aunt's tomb did he dare to be sure that he was his cousin and he was still alive.

After Zhang Ruochen finished worshipping his mother, he stood up again, looked at the edge of the square, and stared at Kong Lanyou's body.

The elephant swallowing rabbit's eyes widened, first he trembled with fright, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Someone actually broke into the royal tomb, Master Chen, you withdraw first, let me go and meet her for a while." The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit didn't dare to deal with Kong Lanyou alone, so he dragged the demon ape along.

Walking to the opposite side of Kong Lanyou, the claws of the elephant rabbit clenched his fists, exuding a demonic aura all over his body, and he shouted coldly: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Kong Lanyou didn't say a word, a pair of complaining eyes, staring at Zhang Ruochen who kept walking towards her, tears dripping down like a bead curtain.

"Do you think that if you don't speak, this seat can't help you? You're forcing this seat to do it!"

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit didn't dare to make a move in person, and pushed the demon ape and asked it to test Kong Lanyou's cultivation.

The demon ape roared, rushed forward, stretched out a huge palm, and slapped it on the top of Kong Lanyou's head.

"Boom. ”

The demon ape was like a huge leather ball, crashing into an invisible wall, flying directly upside down, and with a bang, it fell on the top of the square.

Kong Lanyou was still standing in place.

The Elephant Swallowing Rabbit gasped, his teeth chattered, and he realized that he was a ruthless character, and immediately fell backwards.

"Master Chen, that's a master, what should I do?" the elephant swallowing rabbit prepared to flee for his life immediately.

Zhang Ruochen ignored it and walked straight towards Kong Lanyou. The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, ten steps, nine steps, eight steps, ......? The elephant swallowing rabbit was very frightened in his heart, and shouted: "Lord Chen...... Be careful, the other party is really a master...... Don't underestimate ......" mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
