Chapter 161 The Secret History of the Royal Family

Upon hearing Zhao Mu's inquiry, Mu Xinzhi sighed deeply: "When talking about this matter, even today, the poor monk still finds it incredible."

He slowly explained: "Back then, the poor monk, like Sima Tongsheng, was approaching the end of his life, but he was still unable to break through to the realm of heaven and man."

"Both of us were desperate and tried our best to find a way to extend our lifespan or break through the realm of gods and humans. Finally, Sima Tongsheng found the poor monk and said that he might have a solution to our predicament."

"That's when the poor monk found out that the Sima family of the royal family actually had a "Secret History of the Royal Family", which was personally kept by every emperor of the Sima family."

"Except for the emperor of the Sima family, no one else is allowed to read it. Even most of the royal family's children don't know the existence of "The Secret History of the Royal Family"."

"Then what is recorded in the "Secret History of the Royal Family"?" Zhao Mu asked.

"What is recorded is all the secret events that have occurred since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Most of these events are not recorded at all in external historical books, or only a few words are recorded."

Mu Xinzhi continued: "Sima Tongsheng told the poor monk that the "Secret History of the Royal Family" records that in the totem temple of Beimang Kingdom, there is a supreme treasure - a nine-color glazed lamp, which is likely to contain... The secret of immortality.”

"The nine-colored glass lamp is kept by the Totem Temple, and the high priests of the past dynasties have personally kept it, and have tried every means to decipher its secrets."

"It's just a pity that the Totem Temple has been studying it for thousands of years, but its understanding of the nine-color glazed lamp is still superficial, and it is impossible to figure out the real secret of this treasure."

"But even if it's just scratching the surface, the Totem Temple has used this to develop a rare elixir - the Great Diamond Pill, which can add twenty years to a person's life."

"The Great Diamond Pill was researched from the nine-color glazed lamp?" Zhao Mu was surprised.

"Of course, otherwise, how could those reckless men from Beimang Kingdom develop such a magical elixir?"

Mu Xinzhi snorted coldly: "You can make a powerful vajra elixir with just its fur. Can you imagine how mysterious the nine-color glazed lamp itself is?"

"The "Secret History of the Royal Family" also records that when Duke Wei Zhanxiong was ordered to attack the Beimang Kingdom, he actually secretly received a secret order from the new Chu Emperor, which was to seize the nine-color glazed lamp at all costs."

"It's a pity that after they invaded the Totem Temple, there was a fierce fight between the two sides. The high priest of the Totem Temple at that time, in order to prevent the warrior from taking away the nine-color glass lamp, he directly threw the glass lamp into the sea of ​​fire."

"In the end, no one expected that the nine-color glazed lamp suddenly burst out with terrible power due to the burning of the flame. Everyone present except Zhan Xiong was suppressed to death, and the nine-colored glazed lamp has been unknown since then. trace."

"In addition, although Zhan Xiong is not dead, he has actually been infiltrated by the power of the nine-color glass lamp, but he didn't know it at the time."

"After the master returned to the court, the new Emperor Chu secretly summoned Zhan Xiong and asked about the nine-color glazed lamp. There were only two of them in the room at that time."

"At that moment, a soul suddenly burst out of Zhan Xiong's body, and it was the soul of the high priest."

"It turns out that although the high priest was killed by the fire, his soul entered the body of the warrior with the power of the nine-colored glass lamp, and did not appear until he met the new Emperor of Chu."

"The high priest had great hatred for the new Emperor Chu and Zhan Xiong, and wanted to kill them both for revenge, but unfortunately, his soul was already extremely weak at that time, and he was unable to attack at all, let alone directly hurt them."

"So the high priest used the remaining power of the nine-colored glass lamp to swear to the sky to curse the new Emperor Chu and Zhan Xiong."

"He cursed the new Chu Emperor to be the last to be the queen. He also cursed that after the new Chu Emperor dies, he will turn into a monster corpse that is neither human nor ghost, and will live in pain forever in the world."

"At the same time, he also cursed that Zhan Xiong would one day die at the hands of the demon corpse transformed by the new Emperor Chu. He believed that being killed by the person he respected the most would make Zhan Xiong die in peace."

Hearing this, Zhao Mu suddenly realized.

He had actually been wondering back then, why did the new Chu emperor turn into a demon corpse after his death, and why he ran out of the imperial mausoleum inexplicably and killed the war hero?

At first, he thought that the reason why the new Chu Emperor turned into a demon corpse was because of the demonic energy of the demon blood jade.

Unexpectedly, the root of everything lies in the nine-color glass lamp.

Zhao Mu also didn't expect that there was such a secret behind Zhan Xiong's attack on Beimang Kingdom.

Just like what he just said to Heijiao, no conspiracy or secret in this world can be hidden in the face of time.

It is precisely because Zhao Mu has lived long enough that the secrets from back then will resurface in front of him now.

Mu Xinzhi continued: "Afterwards, the new Chu Emperor recorded everything in the "Secret History of the Royal Family" and blocked the news from the outside world. Therefore, no one in the Jin Dynasty at that time knew about the nine-color glazed lamp."

"After Sima Tongsheng told the poor monk these things, the two of us left the capital together and secretly rushed to the Totem Temple, hoping to find the nine-color glass lamp to extend our lifespan."

"But it turns out that some things are taboo for mortals. The two of us worked hard and finally found the nine-color glazed lamp in this underground palace."

"But after it was triggered, both of us ended up miserable. The poor monk's body was directly shattered and he died, leaving only a soul, which has been lonely in this underground palace for two hundred years."

"This kind of loneliness can really drive people crazy."

"And Sima Tongsheng's soul was shattered, leaving only an incorruptible body, which is tragic."

"Ah, sometimes I think that we two might as well die peacefully, otherwise why would we suffer now?"

Mu Xinzhi sighed.

Zhao Mu thought of Zhou Yu Niang.

It seems that although Zhou Yu Niang ascended the throne, she had not seen the "Secret History of the Imperial Family", otherwise she would have known these things long ago.

But it makes sense, Zhou Yu Niang forcibly seized the throne from the Sima family.

The Sima family hated her to the core, so how could they let her know the existence of the "Secret History of the Imperial Family"?

No.

Zhao Mu suddenly shook his head.

Back then, Zhou Yu Niang used the puppet pill to control Sima Tongsheng's son, Sima Hongyi.

After Sima Hongyi succeeded to the throne, he should have inherited the "Secret History of the Imperial Family" from Sima Tongsheng.

With Sima Hongyi's loyalty, how could he not hand over the secret history to Zhou Yu Niang?

Zhao Mu frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't Sima Tongsheng give the Secret History of the Imperial Family to Sima Hongyi before he left?"

"No."

Mu Xinzhi shook his head and said, "At that time, Sima Tongsheng said that we two were going to the Totem Temple to find the Nine-Colored Glazed Lamp. This matter could not add any risks, and we couldn't tell anyone, so he took the Secret History of the Imperial Family away."

So that's it!

Zhao Mu suddenly realized.
