Chapter 282: Well-preserved male corpse
The man in black above didn't seem to notice the loose brick and was still searching nearby. Chu Tian crawled along the narrow passage, which was filled with dust and decay, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tian finally crawled out of the passage and found himself in an even smaller tomb. In the center of the tomb was a bronze coffin with intricate patterns carved on it, which looked very old.
Chu Tian's mind was moved: Could this be the real tomb? He walked carefully to the coffin and pushed the lid. The lid did not move at all, and it was obviously much heavier than the previous stone coffin.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, used his internal strength, and pushed hard again. This time, the coffin lid finally opened slowly.
Inside the coffin, there lay a well-preserved male corpse, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, a golden crown on his head, and holding a jade ruyi in his hand. The male corpse's face was lifelike, as if he was just asleep.
Chu Tian was amazed: The owner of this tomb must have been a prominent figure in his lifetime! He carefully observed the male corpse and found a jade pendant hanging around his waist. The jade pendant was emerald green and carved with a coiled dragon, exactly the same as the jade pendant he had obtained before!
Could it be that...these two jade pendants are a pair? A bold guess came to Chu Tian's mind. He reached out and took off the jade pendant, and put it together with his own jade pendant. The two jade pendants approached each other, and actually emitted a faint green light, and then they were tightly attached together, becoming one!
At this moment, there was a sound of a mechanism turning in the tomb. Chu Tian was startled and looked around, only to find a secret door on the wall of the tomb.
The secret door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage. Chu Tian hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go in and take a look. He walked into the passage carefully, and the secret door slowly closed behind him.
The passage was pitch black, and Chu Tian groped his way forward. After walking for about half an hour, he finally came to an open space.
With the weak light, Chu Tian found himself in a huge underground palace! The palace was magnificent and splendid, with white jade bricks on the ground and night pearls inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire palace.
In the center of the palace, there was a huge jade bed, on which lay a woman, dressed in a white gauze dress, with a beautiful face, like a fairy descending from heaven.
Chu Tian was so stunned that he even forgot to breathe for a moment.
"You... who are you?" Chu Tian finally found his voice.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes full of doubts: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Chu Tian." Chu Tian quickly replied, "I came here by mistake."
"You came here by mistake?" The woman smiled slightly, "It seems that you and I are destined to be together."
"May I ask your name, young lady?" Chu Tian asked.
"My name is...Yu Linglong." The woman said softly.
"Yu Linglong..." Chu Tian repeated the name, his heart full of curiosity, "Why are you here?"
Yu Linglong sighed and said, "I... I have been sleeping here for a thousand years..."
"Thousand years?!" Chu Tian was shocked, "Could it be that you are..."
"That's right." Yu Linglong nodded, "I am the owner of this ancient tomb."
Chu Tian's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that he would accidentally run into the owner of the ancient tomb!
"Then why did you sleep for a thousand years?" Chu Tian couldn't help but ask.
A trace of sadness flashed across Yu Linglong's eyes, and she slowly said, "Because... I'm waiting for someone..."
"Waiting for someone?" Chu Tian's heart moved, "Who are you waiting for?"
Yu Linglong looked at Chu Tian, with a strange light flashing in her eyes: "I'm waiting... for my destined person..."
"The destined one?" Chu Tian was puzzled, but his expression remained calm. "May I ask what kind of person is the destined one you are waiting for?"
Yu Linglong's eyes fell on the jade pendant in Chu Tian's hand, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "The person who can combine the two jade pendants into one is my destined person."
Chu Tian was shocked. Could it be that he was the destined person that she had been waiting for for a thousand years? This was too much of a coincidence! He subconsciously tightened the jade pendant in his hand, and felt that the temperature of the jade pendant seemed to be a little higher than before.
"So, I am the one you are waiting for?" Chu Tian asked tentatively.
Yu Linglong did not answer directly, but sat up from the jade bed and slowly walked to Chu Tian. She exuded a faint fragrance, which made Chu Tian feel relaxed and happy.
Yu Linglong stretched out her slender jade hand, gently stroked Chu Tian's face, and said softly: "You look so much like him..."
"He? Who is he?" Chu Tian asked hurriedly.
A trace of confusion flashed across Yu Linglong's eyes, as if she was lost in memories: "He... is my lover..."
Chu Tian's heart sank. Was he just a substitute?
"What's his name?" Chu Tian continued to ask.
"His name is...Chu Feng." Yu Linglong said softly.
Chu Tian was stunned. Chu Feng? Why did this name sound so familiar? He tried to recall it and suddenly remembered that his grandfather once said that his father's name was Chu Feng! Could it be... Could it be that the person Yu Linglong was waiting for was actually his father? !
"You...you know my father?" Chu Tian asked excitedly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Linglong's eyes: "You...you are Chu Feng's son?"
"That's right!" Chu Tian nodded quickly, "My name is Chu Tian, and my father's name is Chu Feng!"
Yu Linglong showed a happy smile on her face: "Great! I finally waited for you!"
Chu Tian had mixed feelings. He never expected that he would be connected with his father in this way.
"Then can you tell me where my father is now?" Chu Tian asked anxiously.
Yu Linglong's smile gradually disappeared, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "He is... gone..."
"Gone?" Chu Tian felt a pain in his heart, "How...did he die?"
Yu Linglong sighed and said slowly: "In order to save me, he was killed by a villain..."
Chu Tian's heart was filled with anger. He must find the murderer who killed his father and avenge his father!
"Who killed him?" Chu Tian asked gritting his teeth.
A gleam of hatred flashed in Yu Linglong's eyes: "It's... the Heavenly Demon Cult!"
"The Demonic Cult?!" Chu Tian was shocked. He knew that the Demonic Cult was an evil organization that was capable of all kinds of evil. He didn't expect that they even killed his father!
"I must destroy the Demonic Cult and avenge my father!" Chu Tian clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Yu Linglong looked at Chu Tian, her eyes full of admiration: "Good! You are worthy of being Chu Feng's son! You have ambition!"
"Then do you know where the headquarters of the Demonic Cult is?" Chu Tian asked.
