Chapter 196 The Qingyue Dynasty
Yun Yao felt a little comforted when she saw their determined eyes despite their fear.
"In that case, let all the teachers and students of the Imperial University of Peking leave Kailong Mountain."
Luo Yu and Mi Jishan were both stunned, somewhat puzzled.
"why?"
However, Yun Yao did not intend to explain, and besides, this was not something that could be explained in a sentence or two.
“In less than three hours, Qilong Mountain will collapse. If you trust me, then take the people from Peking University and leave this place,” Yun Yao said calmly.
To be honest, Yun Yao's behavior today was really strange, but they couldn't figure out why she was so out of control.
“Principal, how about… we bring the children back tomorrow?” Mi Jishan suggested somewhat nervously.
Although he felt that Yun Yao's words were a bit too unfounded, for some reason, he just believed them.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu compromised.
Judging from Yun Yao's current state, her mind isn't on archaeology. It would be futile for them to go. It would be better to wait until she recovers before coming.
"Okay, we'll do as you say." Luo Yu shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Yun Yao looked at Luo Yu very seriously and patted his shoulder.
"You won't trust the wrong person."
The national archaeological team and many university archaeological teams gathered at Qilong Mountain. Just as they were all preparing to make a great achievement, the president of Peking University and the professors of the archaeology department ordered all students to evacuate Qilong Mountain.
As they were leaving, Luo Yu stopped to warn them to leave as soon as possible.
"Hmph, why should we leave? I think Beijing Normal University is afraid of losing face because their technology isn't up to par," Gu Feng's sarcastic voice rang out.
"Teachers don't need to take them seriously. They're just a bunch of people who can't be brought to the table. What good would it do to give them the title of the top university? They'd just make us a laughingstock!"
The student standing next to Gu Feng, brimming with confidence, was none other than Han Wenqian.
The fact that all the teachers and students of Peking University left Qilong Mountain without a single complaint aroused suspicion among members of many national archaeological teams. However, with such a great opportunity to unravel the mystery of the Qingyue Dynasty looming ahead, they were unwilling to let it slip away easily.
"Let's begin," Gu Feng said to an elderly man in the national team.
The old man nodded and was about to walk towards the dug tunnel when a loud rumble came from underground.
The ground they were standing on began to shake, and some people who lost their balance fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Is it going to be an earthquake?" Gu Feng exclaimed.
"Professor, something terrible has happened! The tunnel has collapsed, we can't get in!"
They originally planned to enter through the tunnel for exploration, but unexpectedly, a problem arose at a crucial moment.
"Lie down and don't move!" the old man shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, everything returned to normal. The intense tremor disappeared, and after lying there for a while without any abnormalities, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s very likely that we opened the tomb, causing an excessive influx of oxygen, which then reacted with some of the substances inside. Don’t worry, let’s look for other entrances!” the old man said calmly.
After circling around, all the suspected tomb raiding holes collapsed due to the tremors.
"Professor, what should we do?"
"It's bizarre, so bizarre, just like that time in Nanxun City!" the old man sighed.
When the topic of the excavation that took place several months ago came up, everyone turned pale and panicked.
"Could this be a warning from heaven? Maybe... we should just call it quits for today!" Someone said this.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, planting a seed of fear in everyone's heart.
Just then, the weather also turned overcast, much to everyone's delight.
The atmosphere was already tense, and now that the scene was repeating itself, everyone was terrified. Before the national team professor could speak, they all grabbed their belongings and ran down the mountain.
They didn't want to experience that undeserved disaster again.
After they left, a woman dressed in white appeared behind an old locust tree.
"You brat, you've been dead for so many years and still haven't given your great-aunt any peace of mind." With that, Yun Yao's figure disappeared from the spot.
From the moment Mijishan mentioned that someone was building a farmhouse on Qilong Mountain, Yunyao had already sensed a conspiracy.
She was right; Qilong Mountain was indeed her property.
If it were really going to be sold, how could the owner not know?
Qilong Mountain has remained peaceful for so many years, so why would something happen at this critical juncture? Therefore, there is only one possibility: someone has plotted against us.
A handsome man? Ha, she'd like to see who else in this world dares to mess with her!
Besides this, more importantly, there are a large number of objects and paintings related to himself in Yuwen Qingyue's tomb. If someone finds them, he will inevitably have another headache.
Yun Yao lit up the dark tomb passage and, relying on her memory, found the main burial chamber.
Looking at the fine golden nanmu coffin on the stage, Yun Yao's eyes were glazed over, and her hands hanging at her sides gradually tightened.
"Yun Zhouwan, the Grand Preceptor of the Qingyue Dynasty, pays his respects to Your Majesty." Yun Yao nodded slightly, which was considered a form of greeting.
Once upon a time, this little one was a ray of light in her long life.
Yuwen Qingyue was a wise and benevolent ruler throughout the ages, whose name will be remembered for generations and who is praised by later generations. He deserves this great honor from his ancestors.
Yun Yao's gaze didn't linger for long before she stepped into the tomb chamber where the burial goods were placed.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked when she actually saw the burial items.
"That idiot!" Yun Yao cursed under her breath.
Although she personally escorted him to his burial, Yun Yao was preoccupied with the tomb's mechanisms. She feared that if she lived too long, she would forget Yuwen Qingyue, so she wanted to do everything in her power to ensure his peace after death.
But, unexpectedly, this silly boy was actually like this...
Everywhere you look are things related to Yuwen Qingyue and herself from her lifetime: calligraphy, paintings, ornaments, and so on.
Yun Yao thought there would be only a few items, but she didn't expect there to be so many.
This emperor left behind not a single object symbolizing his status and position, but only some worthless items he used to play with Zhou Wan, a high-ranking official in the court.
Cuju (ancient Chinese football), kite flying, pitch-pot...
Yun Yao's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and her fists clenched tightly.
She couldn't bear it any longer and turned to look at the coffin.
……
Five hundred years ago, the Qingyue Dynasty.
"Imperial Preceptor, I am the Emperor! You have shown disrespect to the Emperor! According to the law, you should be executed!" A handsome little boy with delicate features stood in front of Yun Yao, his tiny finger pointing at her nose.
The boy was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and at such a young age he already possessed a certain imperial majesty.
"Little brat, stop pointing your finger at me, or I'll break it!"
The boy was extremely aggrieved, and his fingers trembled.
"He attempted to assassinate me; he deserves to be executed!"
He looked terrified, but the royal blood flowing in his veins made him resolute.
"Guards! Drag the Imperial Preceptor away and execute him!"
But in the empty hall, only his childish voice could be heard.
The woman on the dragon throne leaned back, her smile dazzling.
"Yuwen Qingyue, you are supposed to be intelligent, how come you still haven't realized the current situation? I, Yun Zhouwan, am the one in power in this Qingyue Dynasty!"
