Chapter 130 Sharing the Same Coffin in Death

Pan Yueqing looked at the silent Suhaicheng, and the unease in her heart grew even stronger.

Zeng Jianyue got out of the carriage. She glanced at Qi Sian timidly and finally said to Pan Yueqing, "We can't enter from any of the gates."

Wu Yang quickly climbed up the height of the city wall using the nearby tree. He looked into the city from a distance. Suddenly, within the visible range, the sound of iron piercing the air, accompanied by the unique wind sound in the valley, pierced the ears of Pan Yueqing and the others like a vengeful ghost seeking its life.

Wu Yang nimbly dodged the stray arrow. He flipped down and whispered for everyone to lie down and hide behind the few large rocks standing on the withered yellow grass.

Qi Sian quickly wrapped his arm around Pan Yueqing's neck and lay down nearby. Pan Yueqing was pulled by him and quickly reached out to pull Zeng Jianyue down as well. Unexpectedly, the dense arrows didn't take their lives, but the large rock was filled with arrows. Perhaps due to the impact, the rock where Pan Yueqing was located loosened and rolled down the small slope.

Qi Sian cursed under his breath and pulled Pan Yueqing's hand to run forward.

But only three breaths later, Qi Sian realized that his curse had come too early! The grass under their feet suddenly collapsed, and they fell into a huge pit. The rock just blocked the entrance of the pit, leaving only a small gap. Zeng Jianyue gritted her teeth, leaned against the wall of the pit, and stood up, holding her back. "I told you we couldn't enter from the gate..."

"..." Pan Yueqing didn't have the strength to argue. Her hands were full of blood. When they fell, Qi Sian actually cushioned her with his body. Although the pit wasn't very deep, with this impact, I'm afraid the injury on Qi Sian, who had just been injured before, had reopened.

"Master... Young Master! Young Master!" The voices of Luoshui and Canghe with sobs came from above the rock, and then came the sound of Wu Yang trying to push the rock away.

Zeng Jianyue's face turned pale. She said to the group exposed on the open ground, "Quick, hide! The next round of the crossbow formation is coming!!"

Her voice was urgent and sincere. Qi Sian stared at her for a few breaths, then opened his mouth towards the entrance of the pit. But as his lungs expanded and contracted, his words were suddenly blocked. After coughing several times, he couldn't say a word. Pan Yueqing raised her hand to help Qi Sian calm his breath, and at the same time, she said to Wu Yang at the entrance of the pit, "Wu Yang! I order you! Protect the other brothers and hide!"

"But..." Wu Yang stopped in his tracks. Before he could express his concern, the sound of dense stray arrows piercing the air forced him to organize everyone to hide behind the rock again.

Zeng Jianyue groped around the wall of the pit for a while and then chose a position. Then she suddenly pushed.

With the collapse of the soil, a small hole appeared. The hole was so small that only people could crawl through it. It was pitch black inside. By the faint light from the crack in the stone, Pan Yueqing looked at Zeng Jianyue with fear in her eyes. "The only way now is to crawl to the mass grave and then run out from the coffin."

"What is this?" Pan Yueqing pointed at the hole.

"Don't believe her," Qi Sian caught his breath and looked at Zeng Jianyue with complete killing intent in his eyes. "She is Duoluobuda of the Rong and Di tribes! She is the holy maiden of the Rong and Di tribes!"

"I'm not!" Zeng Jianyue gritted her teeth. The hatred and fear in her eyes couldn't be fake.

Pan Yueqing was silent. She looked at Zeng Jianyue and let out a helpless sigh.

Zeng Jianyue turned her head away indifferently. "If you don't believe me, you can only wait for death here. Anyway... I don't have time to tell you stories to make you believe me." After saying that, she started to crawl towards the dark hole with her hands and feet.

"Wait a minute," Pan Yueqing grabbed her hand and took out a "Heat-Clearing and Detoxifying Pill" from her waist. "Take this first."

Zeng Jianyue glanced at the black pill in Pan Yueqing's hand and sneered. "What? Give me poison first. If you find out that I want to harm you, let me die from the poison?"

"No," Pan Yueqing shook her head. "I don't know if there are any poisonous things in there. This is an antidote. Taking it first will prevent you from being bitten by something and not having time to react." After saying that, she swallowed the pill in her palm and then poured out another pill and placed it in front of Zeng Jianyue.

"I think you've read too many plays," Qi Sian looked at Zeng Jianyue, who still didn't let down her guard. "There's no such thing that can make you die from poison as soon as we find out you want to harm us." Then he grabbed Pan Yueqing's hand and swallowed the pill in his palm.

Zeng Jianyue took a deep breath and then took the pill that Pan Yueqing finally handed over. She looked at the dark hole, then turned back to look at Pan Yueqing and Qi Sian, and let out a sigh. "Inside is actually an underground palace. It's very big. A long time ago, the khan of the Rong and Di tribes was buried here. Later, this place was renamed the northern border and became the territory of the Northern Qi. I lied. The people who didn't crawl out didn't die from suffocation in the soil, but because someone betrayed Lord Zhou's plan."

"I and others crawled out on a rainy night and accidentally slipped into the Tomb Robberyhole of this huge underground palace." Zeng Jianyue groped forward bit by bit. Her words were slowly and softly transmitted into the ears of Pan Yueqing and Qi Sian. "Those large pits are actually Tomb Robbery holes. I don't know why these Tomb Robbery holes are so interconnected."

Through her body, Pan Yueqing saw a glimmer of light in front of her. This feeling was a bit like when she entered the Eternal Night Underground Palace with Qi Sian.

There was a faint long-burning lamp in front of them, which was like burning life in the cave. Zeng Jianyue stopped in front of a door marked with red. She slowly turned around. "I hope you can accept what will happen next."

She pulled the copper ring with her slender hand. It seemed that it took a great deal of effort to loosen it a little. Pan Yueqing and Qi Sian were about to step forward, but she stopped them. "There are traps here! It can only bear the weight of one person! It won't be triggered until I open the trap!"

Slowly, the door was opened. What came into view was a huge coffin.

Pan Yueqing's eyes couldn't help but jump. The coffin with a circular shape was indeed a characteristic of the Rong and Di tribes. The coffin had been opened. Zeng Jianyue climbed onto the coffin with ease. She took a deep breath and then looked back at Pan Yueqing and Qi Sian. "Go down from here."

Finally, she added, "There are no dead people."

Pan Yueqing nodded. Qi Sian stepped forward and took a look at the gold and silver inside the coffin. "It should be a companion coffin. But according to our understanding of the Rong and Di tribes, there should be living sacrifices..."

"Everyone who enters from here is equivalent to a sacrifice," Zeng Jianyue said indifferently. "This is the coffin for the Wolf King, praying for the Wolf King to protect his descendants." She lay in the coffin and looked at Pan Yueqing and the others. "Hurry up and lie down. The weight is just enough to turn it over."

Pan Yueqing nodded. Seeing Zeng Jianyue lying in the middle, she motioned for Pan Yueqing and Qi Sian to lie with their heads on the other side. When the two of them were lying down, Zeng Jianyue said, "Close your eyes."

"Ah..." Qi Sian suddenly let out a sigh.

"What are you doing?" A sudden sigh in the empty tomb was a bit creepy. Pan Yueqing frowned and almost spat out three words through her teeth.

"They say that we should share the same quilt in life and the same coffin in death. I haven't shared the same quilt with you yet, but I'm sharing the same coffin with you first," Qi Sian clicked his tongue. "And there's also a burden with us."
