Yan Jiuniang led Meng and Gu, who walked along the golden path into the main hall, only to see the magnificent splendor that filled the entire hall. Yan Jiuniang walked directly to the center of the hall, smiled and said to Meng and Gu, "Look, these are objects!"

When Gu Yiyang saw the horse carriage, he laughed and said, "It really is the same!"

"This sarcophagus has been opened!" Meng Chunlou couldn't help but frown. "It must have been Wu Weidao and his men. Damn it!"

With his reminder, Gu Yiyang had just noticed that the sarcophagus had no lid. He couldn't help but walk over and take a look inside the sarcophagus, and he saw that there was still a wooden coffin inside. He said, "Although the sarcophagus is open, it hasn't been opened yet!"

"This doesn't resemble the style of Wu Weidao!" Yan Jiuniang frowned, looking around her surroundings, only to see that there was a big hole in the direction pointed by the horse's head. It was obvious that it had been blasted open by someone's palm, she said in shock, "What is the situation that caused Wu Weidao and the rest to give up opening the coffin?"

"It must be because we were guarding outside and they were afraid that we would catch them, that's why they fled in panic!" Gu Yiyang smiled.

"That's not right!" Meng Chunlou shook his head, "This coffin has not been sealed. It's easy to open. Wu Weidao and his men would never give up on this mechanism."

"Then there's only one explanation left!" Yan Jiuniang couldn't help but look at the coffin, "There must be an essay on this coffin!"

"You mean there's poison on it?" Gu Yiyang asked.

Yan Jiu Niang nodded her head and then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over to Gu Yi Yang, saying, "Use this handkerchief to wrap your hand, and then open the coffin to take a look. Presumably, there is something else hidden inside!"

Gu Yiyang extended his hand to receive the handkerchief. His heart was filled with an unexplainable excitement. After all, it would at least excite some people to be able to see the ancients. He smiled and said: "In that case, we should be able to see Wu Wang soon?"

"I hope so!" Yan Jiuniang laughed.

When Gu Yiyang heard her uncertain words, he immediately had doubts in his heart. He wrapped his hand around the handkerchief and slowly reached into the sarcophagus. He gently opened the lid, revealing a hint of an open coffin!

The three of them immediately tensed up, especially Gu Yiyang. He didn't even have the heart to breathe. He tried using more strength in his hands to move the coffin's lid a bit more. Finally, he could see the corpse inside clearly!

When the face of the deceased was revealed, the three of them sucked in a breath of cold air.

After all, how could there be a girl who looked like Xiao Cui lying inside Wu Wang's coffin?

This is unbelievable!

"What's going on? I'm not seeing things, am I? " Gu Yiyang raised his head and asked.

"You didn't see wrong!" Meng Chun Lou gave a wry smile and said, "This is too outrageous!"

Yan Jiu Niang thought about it again and again, and could not help but ask: "This girl is Xiao Cui, right? It really looks too similar! "

Gu Yi Yang's eyes turned, and he said: "If she is Xiao Cui, then why would she appear here?"

"Huang Darian!" Meng Quan frowned, "It must be Huang Daxian's doing! Because Xiao Cui is too important to her, he definitely does not wish for Xiao Cui's corpse to turn into a pile of bones as time passes, thus, he thought of Wu Wang's coffin! "

"I understand!" No wonder after all these years, Huang Darian could still clearly remember Xiao Cui's appearance, and could even make a picture out of her. So, he had always had the chance to get close to Xiao Cui! " Yan Jiuniang smiled bitterly, "Xiao Cui's corpse has always been a depiction of his body!"

"You are wrong! Huang Dajian had deep feelings for Xiao Cui, so how could he not remember her appearance? Furthermore, Xiao Cui's corpse was preserved for a long time because of the effects of the coffin. If someone were to open it and take a look, how can it be kept for a long time? Gu Yiyang said.

"No matter what, there are two uses for Huang Dajian's scheme!" Meng Chun said.

"Are you saying that you can first preserve Xiao Cui's corpse, and secondly protect Wu Wang's corpse from the desecration?" Gu Yiyang asked.

"That's right!" Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? " Meng Chun Lou laughed.

"If that's the case, then there must be something else on Wu Wang's corpse!" Yan Jiuniang said.

Meng Chun Lou couldn't help but look around and say with a sigh, "That's right! "This Wu Wang's underground palace is so vast, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. As for where he is, no one knows!"

"Ai!" Gu Yiyang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I really didn't expect this Huang Dajan to be so emotional! If it was me, even if I had been unable to forget my beloved for a long time, I would never have hidden my lover's corpse here like him! "

"Perhaps, this is the safest place, and the only place that can prevent Xiao Cui from being disturbed by outsiders!" Meng Chunlou smiled bitterly, "Because no one would easily open the coffin of King Wu!"

"Hard to say! At least, that's what those tomb robbers will do! " Yan Jiuniang said.

"But, this coffin isn't sealed. Aren't we going to tell the tomb robber that there's nothing valuable in this coffin?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"But even so, there will still be people who cannot resist opening the coffin to take a look. After all, everyone has a curious heart!" Yan Jiuniang said.

"I understand!" Gu Yiyang smiled lightly, "This coffin is not sealed, but there is another benefit!"

"What benefits?" Meng Chun Lou asked.

"The thing is, the body can slowly decompose until it becomes a pile of bones, and that will only take time!" Gu Yiyang said.

"You're saying, Huang Darian didn't really want Xiao Cui's corpse to never rot, he just wanted it to not rot for the rest of his life?" Yan Jiuniang asked.

"That's right!" If he dies, who in this world would be able to enjoy Xiao Cui anymore? " Gu Yiyang smiled bitterly, "At that time, Xiao Cui's corpse can replace Wu Wang's, and the secret behind it will probably be known to no one else!"

"That makes sense!" If we do this, we will be protecting Wu Wang! " Meng Chun Lou nodded, "This Huang Dajian is too scheming! "How many secrets is he hiding?"

"Who can say?" Gu Yiyang smiled indifferently, "It's getting late, we have to catch up with Wu Weidao and the others as soon as possible, hopefully we can catch them in time!"

With these words, he led the way and quickly led Meng and Yan out of the hall. Using Wu Weidao's method, they finally left the underground palace.

However, when they appeared, the sky was already bright. Seeing their tired expressions, the villagers who were waiting outside the ancestral hall to pick up the medicine were all stunned!

Meng Chun Lou gave an extremely embarrassed smile and said, "Yesterday night, we had nowhere to go. We just spent the night here at the ancestral hall. If there was any offense, please forgive us!"

"Great Hero Meng, what are you saying?" Although the King Family's Patriarch is ill, his family can still stay. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? " Da Niu asked.

When Meng Chunlou heard this, he thought to himself, "This Da Niu clearly knows where we are, but he still wants to ask such a question. He must be hiding where we went last night. It's rare for him to have this kind of heart!"

Thinking about that, Meng Quan immediately laughed, "How can we disturb them?" Besides, this place is pretty good. "

"Since everyone is here, let's prepare to boil the medicine!" Yan Jiuniang lifted her hand to brush off her messy hair and immediately walked out of the ancestral hall. She saw the servants of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter preparing the herbs. She then walked over to command everything.

Seeing that the villagers were getting busy, they did not want to stay any longer and immediately went to line up to pick the medicine.

Just as Meng and Gu were about to look for a place to rest, they saw Niu Xiaobao rushing over with quick steps and pulling their hands into the ancestral hall. The two of them asked about what had happened last night, and Meng and Gu could not refuse.

"Don't worry! If they go back, we will definitely punish them for their crimes! " Meng Chun said.

"What are we waiting for? We can just go and settle our debts with them!" Gu Yiyang said.

"It's easier said than done?" Meng Chunlou smiled bitterly and said, "What if they refuse to admit it, what should we do?"

"It's such an obvious thing, can they afford to let it go?" Gu Yiyang asked.

"We haven't seen them down there, and what Da Niu said was just a one-sided speech. It's not that easy to get Wu Weidao to admit his debt!" Meng Chun said.

"If he doesn't admit it, I'll cut off his head!" Gu Yiyang said coldly.

"Reckless!" Meng Chunlou frowned slightly, "You have to have proof in everything. Otherwise, what's the use of it?"

"Forget it!" I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to rest! " Gu Yiyang walked out angrily after he finished speaking.

After seeing Gu Yiyang out, Niu Xiaobao sighed and said, "Uncle Meng!" Now that the news about Wu Wang's grave is out of the question, I wonder if you have any good ideas? "

Meng Chunlou pondered for a moment, then said, "If there's no other choice, we can block the entrance. That way, no one will have any ideas for Wu Wang's grave!"

"But, we are responsible for protecting Wu Wang Mu, if we do that, wouldn't we be worthy of being our ancestors?" Niu Xiaobao asked.

"Your duty is to protect Wu Wang Mu. As long as no one dares to disturb him, you have done your duty! Now that we have blocked the entrance, it is no longer possible for outsiders to get close to us. It does not contradict your responsibilities at all! " Meng Chun said.

"This is a big matter, I think it's better if I think about it a little more!" Niu Xiaobao walked out of the room with a gloomy expression on his face.

From that day onwards, Meng Chun Lou and the others stayed at the village chief's residence to focus on treating the sick villagers. Later on, after they had recovered a bit, they brought them to clean up the river and cremated all the corpses that had not been buried in the ground.

As these matters were trivial, there were no complications. The people of the Ru Yi Hall didn't come back to create trouble, so they decided to put it aside for the time being and only talked about the following matters.

But on this day, on the official road west of Yangzhou City, they were slowly and rhythmically walking toward a sedan chair, but this sedan chair was different from the usual. On this day, on the official road west of Yangzhou City, they were walking slowly and rhythmically, and they were riding a sedan chair, but this sedan was different from the usual.

However, this unique invention had come from someone in the palanquin. He was the eldest son of the Nangong family, Nangong Feiyu.

When it came to Nangong Feiyu, he was an outstanding figure in the martial arts world. Even though he might not be that old this year, he was at most twenty years old.

It was said that when he was four years old, he started to study, and it only took him three days to memorize the 'Lir of the Hundred Families' and learn the 'Sutra of the Three Words'.

Due to his young genius being treated like a treasure by the Nangong family, the head, Nangong Tianmu, who was also Nangong Feiyu's father, looked at him in a new light. He had used up almost all of his ability to teach Nangong Feiyu, but to Nangong Feiyu, this was like a cup of water in a cart of firewood.

Later on, Nangong Tianmu invited countless teachers from the martial arts world to teach Nangong Feiyu, but in the end, all of the teachers had scram because none of them were able to teach Nangong Feiyu.

No teacher could stay in the Nangong family for two months, because in less than two months, Nangong Feiyu had used up all of his skills. He was like a bottomless pit full of suction, no matter how high you were, you would quickly exhaust yourself for him!

However, this was all in the past. The current Nangong Feiyu was already 20 years old. The only thing he was lacking was that he rarely set foot in the martial arts world, limiting his martial arts experience. Otherwise, such a rare talent would have his name engraved into the annals of history!

This time, he was here for the beauty pageant of the Ru Yi Hall. His excuse was precisely for hugging a beauty and returning home. Although he had been forced by Nangong Tianmu to meet many ladies at home, he had not been tempted by any of them. It was not because they were ugly, nor because they were unvirtuous.

The reason why he went out this time was not to find a wife, as he said, but to use this opportunity to meet someone. He believed that that person would definitely appear at the beauty contest, because in his eyes, that person must be Hua Kui!

As for the sedan chair, it leisurely moved forward. Although it wasn't fast, because of the weather, it had already caused the four big men carrying it to nearly collapse. The sedan chair, however, made the nearby Shu An unhappy, because he was Nangong Feiyu's errand boy.

He had already figured out a set of words in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth and scold them, he suddenly heard a lazy and playful voice come from the palanquin, "Shu An, Young Master Nan Gong is unhappy!"
