Chapter 196 The king and his ministers are in harmony!
Inside the palace.
Unlike the court palaces depicted in Ming and Qing dynasty films and TV dramas, there are quite a few tables, chairs, and bronze artifacts here!
Civil and military officials sat in front of the table in two rows on the left and right. Some bowed their heads and faced the king on the high platform, while others whispered with their colleagues.
It looked like a scene of the emperor and his ministers having a happy morning court session!
only......
All these civil and military officials have now turned into piles of bones! Only their gorgeous clothes are left to show their identities!
"Oh my god...Brother Qin An! Why are there so many dead bodies here?"
Yang Lele covered her mouth.
Hear the words.
Qin An said calmly, "The throats of these skeletons are black... They were most likely poisoned! Then have someone use wooden sticks to support their bodies! Once their bodies are completely stable, remove the sticks!"
"Ah... but look at the clothes they are wearing! It seems that they are of noble status! At least they are slave owners of the Xia Dynasty! How could they be caught in one fell swoop?" Yang Lele continued.
"It's simple... the person who poisoned them must be even more noble! Maybe it was Xia Qi!"
really!
Qin An's words had just fallen!
Zhang Sitian's voice came from my ears: "Brother Qin An...there is someone sitting on the throne!"
The military flashlight shone over following the sound!
A middle-aged man in a dragon robe was sitting on a magnificent throne made of bronze and gold.
"go!"
Qin An drew out the black gold ancient sword.
He rode ahead, passing His Highness where all the civil and military officials were seated.
After climbing several stone stairs, he arrived in front of the middle-aged man in dragon robe!
"Brother Qin An...wait for us!"
Zhang Sitian hurriedly took Yang Lele's hand and followed Qin An and Gu Wuyan. After a few seconds, they also arrived in front of the throne.
But before the two women could catch their breath!
They were shocked by this strange scene!
The middle-aged man in dragon robe has a full beard on his face. His fair face and thick hair all show his vitality!
It's like... falling asleep!
"This, this, this... How is this possible? Even the King Qi in King Qi's tomb didn't have skin as good as his! And! His lips are even redder than mine!" Yang Lele couldn't believe it.
If she hadn't seen the chest of the middle-aged man in dragon robe rising and falling... she would have thought that he was still alive!
"How did he do it? The body wasn't placed in a sealed coffin... and yet it just sat in the hall openly and its body remained intact?" Zhang Sitian couldn't understand!
All the civil and military officials below are skeletons!
Wang Xu above seems to be alive... Could it be that he has absorbed the vitality of those people?
"Don't move...this guy has something in his mouth!" Qin An said coldly.
He used the black gold ancient knife to pry open the mouth of the middle-aged man in dragon robe!
After a while!
A bead about the size of a ping-pong ball fell out, with some mucus attached to it... seemed to be saliva?
"Gloves."
Qin An frowned.
After he took the sterile gloves handed to him by Yang Lele, he bent down to pick up the beads on the ground and held them in his hands to observe them.
I saw that the bead was as white as jade. The upper hemisphere was a dull grayish-white color, while the lower hemisphere was a emerald green. There were a few dark clouds in the middle separating them.
"Why does this... look a bit like the color scheme of the Lucky Cloud Lock?"
This time.
Even Qin An didn't quite understand the origin of this bead!
I just think its color scheme and style are very similar to the auspicious cloud lock given to him by the Qiang ancestors!
"Then is it possible that this is the Fate Word Pearl?"
Zhang Sitian felt that the only bead that could be held in the mouth by the middle-aged man in dragon robes... was probably the Life-Speaking Bead mentioned by the ancient Qiang elders.
"possible!"
Qin An was just about to continue studying the bead.
Suddenly, he noticed some scattered black particles floating in the air... He looked down and saw that the body of the middle-aged man in the dragon robe, which had been well-maintained, was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The originally thick black hair quickly turned white and fell to the ground!
The thick beard was slowly crushed into powder...even the fair skin became black and wrinkled!
"Oops......"
Qin An's expression changed!
He quickly used his left hand to pry open the mouth of the middle-aged man in dragon robe, and with his right hand, stuffed the Life Pearl back into his mouth!
This scene!
It scared many netizens in the live broadcast room!
[Oh my god... That's impossible! Brother Qin An just took the beads out of his mouth... How did he suddenly age so quickly?]
[“Qin An withdrew a life-speech bead!”]
[Although I was a little scared...but seeing Qin An stuffing the Life Pearl back with a look of panic on his face really made me want to laugh!]
[Outrageous! What is the origin of this bead? How come the moment Brother Qin An took it out... the body of this middle-aged man in dragon robes started to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye?]
[This bead is the real body...]
"I have a feeling if this Fate Pearl were sold at an auction, the starting price would be at least 100 million! This ability is incredible! There's no need to seal the body... it can directly preserve it for a thousand years!"
........
In the palace!
Qin An had just stuffed the Life-Word Pearl back into the dragon-robed middle-aged man's mouth when his rapidly decaying body stopped and began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye...
There are even some faint signs of recovery!
See this.
Everyone in the archaeological team breathed a sigh of relief!
"Brother Qin An...could this guy be Xia Qi?" Zhang Sitian said as he took a half step back.
"It should be him."
Qin An walked around the body of the middle-aged man in dragon robe. Just when he was about to return empty-handed, he suddenly noticed a spherical groove behind the throne under Xia Qi.
I don't know if it's an illusion...
Qin An felt that this groove was just big enough to hold the Life-Word Pearl!
"Is this an illusion? But if I take out the body of the Mingyanzhu Xiaqi, it will rot... Could he set up a mechanism in the mausoleum like this?"
Qin An doesn't dare to gamble!
Because maybe Xia Qi did it on purpose!
If you really put the Fate Pearl in there, it might trigger a fatal mechanism!
"Chuckles..."
Qin An was thinking about what to do next!
Suddenly, above the heads of the archaeological team, there was a sound of the stone wall slowly opening!
"Lie down!"
Qin An instinctively pounced on Gu Wuyan and made Zhang Sitian's Yang Lele lie down!
next second!
Countless bronze arrows soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid shot out from the cracks in the rocks!
