Chapter 368: The Ancient Coffin in the Palace
At this moment, the paper figures surrounding the outer hall had already dispersed.
Lin Qiye moved silently like a ghost in the dark, approaching the majestic group of halls. His spiritual energy swept across the exterior of these halls, and he frowned slightly.
Due to the materials of these halls, he was unable to perceive the situation inside; he could only wander around the periphery, sensing the enormous plaques hanging outside the halls with his spiritual energy.
Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace, Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Tian Palace, Ming Chen Nai Fan Wu Cheng Tian Palace, Tian Zhao Zui Qi Tian Palace, Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Palace, Gan Si Lian Wan Lv Tian Palace.
Standing before this palace, Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
If he couldn’t sense the situation inside the halls, how was he supposed to find where Bai Li Pangpang and the others were? Moreover, they probably didn’t know the rule that the dead could enter but the living could not exit, and they were likely trapped in one of the halls…
Should he search one by one?
But once he entered, he wouldn’t be able to come out either…
After pondering for a moment, Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of a good idea!
He quickly walked to the nearest Ming Chen Nai Fan Wu Cheng Tian Palace and pushed open the crimson door. Just like when he opened the courtyard door earlier, it felt weightless, as if it had no mass at all.
As Lin Qiye stepped behind the door, he didn’t let it close; two summoning magic circles blossomed behind him, and in the next moment, two figures dressed in blue worker uniforms stood behind him.
Li Yifei, holding half a carrot and wearing an apron, was momentarily stunned, looking around in confusion before his gaze finally landed on Lin Qiye.
“Qiye, you rarely call me out, huh?”
After confirming that he had been summoned away from the Asylum of the Gods, Li Yifei immediately became excited, tossing aside the carrot in his hand, tearing off his apron, and grinning widely.
Since being taken into the Asylum of the Gods, he hadn’t been able to come out again. After being cooped up for nearly two years, he was finally seeing the light of day!
Just now, A Zhu was still saying to me, ‘Look, he’s performing well, let me give him an extra chicken leg tonight.’ Li Yifei said while stretching his limbs and playfully patting A Zhu’s head.
Upon hearing this, A Zhu’s small body trembled, and his lips began to quiver…
“I… I… actually…”
A Zhu’s gaze darted away from Lin Qiye, his little face pale, as if he was about to cry at any moment.
Lin Qiye looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation, seeing A Zhu’s pitiful appearance, he waved his hand, “Go ahead, go ahead.”
A Zhu was taken aback, raising his tear-filled eyes, looking gratefully at Lin Qiye, “Thank you, Director!!”
Lin Qiye nodded silently.
Well, with this connection, he should be able to work harder for me next time…
“By the way, Qiye, where is this? Why is it so cold?” Li Yifei looked around, rubbing his arms, unable to suppress a shiver.
“Oh, this is hell.”
…Li Yifei’s mouth twitched slightly, “I suddenly remembered, I haven’t finished cooking… How about this, let A Zhu accompany you, and I’ll go back to cook? Grandma’s teeth have been getting better lately, and it seems like the dishes I prepared today won’t be enough…”
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes, “It’s just a desolate Fengdu, and you don’t need to take risks. Your task is simply to hold this door open and not let it close.”
Li Yifei was taken aback, “Is it really that simple?”
“Yes, it’s that simple.”
“Alright then, it’s just guarding the door! Leave it to me!” Li Yifei patted his chest confidently.
Lin Qiye nodded and turned to walk into the hall.
Since the doors here cannot be opened from the inside by the living, all he needed to do was ensure they couldn’t close. If it were someone else, it might be a bit troublesome, but Lin Qiye had plenty of workers; guarding the door didn’t require him to do it personally.
As for why he summoned two people… he was worried that with A Zhu’s personality, if anything happened while he wasn’t around, A Zhu might faint from fright, and if the door closed then, it would be quite a mess.
Besides, one couldn’t always just catch one sheep to shear… sometimes, it was good to catch two at once!
In the darkness, Lin Qiye stepped deeper into the hall, and suddenly, he seemed to sense something, stopping just before the threshold.
In the center of the hall, black cross-shaped wooden frames were neatly arranged, each one hanging a set of bronze armor.
The armors were spaced less than a meter apart, densely packed within the hall, and at a glance, there were nearly three hundred of them!
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, softly reciting a verse, and a flicker of fire ignited at his fingertips.
For some reason, in this dim and grand black hall, the flame in Lin Qiye’s hand turned a deep green, as if an invisible force in the air was suppressing all light.
Holding this ghostly green flame, Lin Qiye slowly moved through the dense array of bronze armors. Under the eerie glow, the rusted surfaces of the bronze armors were covered in dark red blood scabs, with jagged gashes as if they had been cut by some sharp weapon.
Some armors were relatively intact, with not too many bloodstains, while others were shattered and barely hanging on the frames.
As Lin Qiye passed through the array of armors and looked back, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
All the wounds on these armors seemed to come from the front, with their backs completely intact, which meant that the owners of these armors had never suffered attacks from behind…
But how could that be possible? If it were on a battlefield, how could one only encounter enemies from the front?
To cause such wounds, it could only happen in a relatively narrow space, facing an oncoming enemy, and even if there were heavy casualties, no one turned to flee, no one retreated; when the front-line warriors fell, the ones behind would step up…
What were they protecting?
Lin Qiye’s mind simulated the scene, and this thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
He turned his head, following the direction that the backs of these bronze armors faced…
At the far end of these bronze armors, before the dark throne of the divine, a red carved square coffin lay quietly on the stone platform.
This coffin was about two meters long, with sharp edges, resembling a neatly crafted cube. The surface of the coffin was intricately carved with numerous patterns in black, dazzling to the eye; from a distance, it looked like a long box with a red base and black patterns.
Lin Qiye approached the coffin, his gaze falling on the complex patterns on its surface. After staring for a long time, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
