SFS Chapter 146 Entering the Stone Gate!
Chapter 146 Entering the Stone Gate!
"Your Highness, all the princes of the world are here today. With just one order from you, the Tang Dynasty can be revived..."
Li Xingyun smiled in relief: "Yuan Tiangang, since I left the Cangbing Valley and came to Qi Country, I already knew that I was not fit to be the emperor."
"Even if I have a choice, what the world really needs is not the declining Tang Dynasty. Even if we restore the Tang Dynasty, what good will it do? It will only repeat the same mistakes..."
"Your Highness, don't rush to make a decision..." Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice.
Li Xingyun said without hesitation: "The rise and fall of dynasties is the cycle of nature. The Tang Dynasty has become a thing of the past. Yuan Tiangang, let it go."
"Ugh……"
Yuan Tiangang let out a long sigh, as if he had already expected Li Xingyun to do this.
He said, "Your Highness, please follow me!"
As he spoke, Yuan Tiangang took the lead and walked along the stairs towards the depths of the passage.
Li Xingyun had a solemn expression. He followed closely behind, wanting to make Yuan Tiangang completely give up the idea of restoring the Tang Dynasty.
After both of them entered the passage, Su Qingjue also stepped in.
Seeing this, others hurried to follow.
"..."
The passage is long and secluded.
The crowd walked for a long time holding torches before they saw a faint light at the end of the road.
Following the direction of the light, the crowd continued to move forward for several hundred steps. At the end of the road, a huge bluestone dragon head as big as a hill lay before them.
Every detail of the dragon head is lifelike and exudes a chilling aura.
Flames ignited from the dragon's eyes as it stared at everyone, revealing its majesty and inspiring awe.
Yuan Tiangang walked to the stone wall on the left, stretched out his hand and pressed lightly somewhere on the wall!
"Crack!"
There was another sound of gears turning, and the dragon head slowly opened its mouth.
"This is..." Some of the princes following behind exclaimed.
"The real entrance to the Longquan treasure!!"
I saw that in the dragon's mouth, there appeared a passage leading to the next stage.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't wait to follow Yuan Tiangang and enter the dragon's mouth.
Suddenly.
A huge bronze palace appeared before everyone.
The entire palace is made of bluestone, with dozens of bronze tripods on both sides.
As everyone stepped in, the bronze tripods on both sides began to ignite flames one by one, illuminating the entire palace.
On the high platform above the palace, there are two human-shaped stone statues more than ten meters high standing on both sides.
From the weapons they hold, we can roughly determine the identities of these two people.
They should be Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong, two of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty.
Between the two stands a huge stone gate, which is tightly closed.
Yuan Tiangang put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the platform.
Everyone followed behind him, constantly looking at the things around them.
"Boom——"
The stone door opens.
Yuan Tiangang stood in front of the stone gate and bowed, "Your Highness, please!"
Li Xingyun had a calm expression. He turned his head to glance at Su Qingjue beside him and then nodded.
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that this was a good opportunity to make Yuan Tiangang give up the idea of restoring the Tang Dynasty.
"Let's go."
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the stone gate one after the other.
Su Qingjue also followed behind in silence.
Seeing this, others naturally wanted to go in and take a look. After all, everyone present today was curious about the Longquan treasure.
However, at this moment.
Yuan Tiangang suddenly stopped.
He tilted his head, and the two dark holes on the mask exuded a creepy meaning, as if warning everyone.
Seeing this, the princes did not dare to act rashly and could only look into the stone gate eagerly.
However, it was also pitch black inside the stone gate and nothing could be seen.
Li Maozhen really wanted to go in and take a look. He looked at Su Qingjue and couldn't help but ask, "Well, can I go in and take a look? Actually..."
Su Qingjue turned around and chuckled, "Don't worry, wait outside for a while."
"Brother~" Song Qingqing said worriedly, "I'll be here, waiting for you to come out."
"Don't worry." Su Qingjue smiled at her.
As he spoke, he slowly walked into the stone gate under Yuan Tiangang's gaze.
Yuan Tiangang actually wanted to say to Su Qingjue, "Why don't you wait outside too."
However, seeing him walk in so nonchalantly, there was nothing we could do to him and we could only let him go.
"Don't worry, Marshal. You guys can chat about your own things. Don't worry about me. I'm just wandering around..."
"Ugh......"
Yuan Tiangang sighed in his heart.
He had imagined countless times how great it would be if Su Qingjue and Li Xingyun were the same person.
In that case, with his assistance, the Tang Dynasty will surely regain its vitality.
Even the scene of the Celestial Empire being the most powerful country and all nations coming to pay tribute will inevitably reappear.
It’s a pity that Li Xingyun is Li Xingyun and Su Qingjue is Su Qingjue.
"Boom——"
The roar sounded again, and as the stone door slowly closed, the figures of the three people disappeared in front of everyone.
The Mirror Heart Demon showed a sad expression on his face, and he leaned over and bowed deeply in the direction of the bronze stone gate.
I whispered quietly in my heart: "Farewell, Marshal."
Although I didn't get any accurate information when I told fortunes for the Marshal before.
But as Yuan Tiangang's "full-time secretary", he could see that Yuan Tiangang was determined to die.
A man who was willing to devote his life to the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to it for three hundred years.
If he had not been determined to die, how could he have made the Longquan treasure, the hope for the revival of the Tang Dynasty, public?
Even if he asked Su Qingjue to bring Li Xingyun here.
But doesn’t he understand Li Xingyun’s thoughts?
Perhaps, this is just the last struggle of his inner obsession.
If Li Xingyun refused to proclaim himself emperor and restore the Tang Dynasty again.
So, from the moment Yuan Tiangang stepped into the bronze stone gate, he would never come out again.
This underground palace, which looks like a mausoleum, is where he will rest in peace in the future...
Zhang Zifan noticed the actions of Jing Xin Mo and felt a little confused.
He didn't understand why the Mirror Heart Demon would do such a great favor for no reason.
Not only Zhang Zifan, but also several other bad guys who came with him were equally puzzled.
Shangguan Yunque asked, "Mirror Heart Demon, what are you doing?"
Mirror Heart Demon slowly stood up, took a deep breath and remained silent.
Although Shi Yao did not know the truth, she had roughly guessed something from the few words between the Marshal and Su Qingjue, as well as the actions of Mirror Heart Demon.
She lowered her eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Is this the Marshal's choice?"
Mirror Heart Demon said softly: "Not bad."
"I respect the Marshal's choice."
As he spoke, Shi Yao clasped his hands together on his left side and bowed slightly.
Shangguan Yunque was confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Why should we respect the Marshal's choice? What's wrong with the Marshal?"
Shi Yao and Jing Xinmo were both silent.
Since the Marshal did not tell the other bad guys about this matter, they naturally cannot talk about it casually.
