Chapter 890: Ancient Tomb on the Sea (1)
After Lu Huaijiang succeeded to the throne.
They focused on battles and often killed in all directions.
This year after year of war had long made the Great Zhou famous all over the world, causing all the countries to secretly fear it.
Everyone thought that the new emperor would start a war against Dongli and Fusang. However, they did not expect that after the army had been counted, they would retreat.
It was widely rumored that His Majesty would be the new Qin Emperor.
It would create the golden age of the First Emperor.
However, Lu Huaijiang had never said anything. It was good for everyone to compare him to the First Emperor. Some even berated him for trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with the First Emperor.
There were also people who praised him for being the successor of the First Emperor.
Some of them wanted to provoke him.
However, Lu Huaijiang accepted it calmly.
What could he not accept? After all, that was his seventh brother.
This year passed peacefully. The only abnormality was that the Great Zhou Dynasty had excavated an ancient tomb again.
This time, the ancient tomb was at the bottom of the sea.
It was said that it was discovered by fishermen at the bottom of the sea.
It was said that a corpse had been fished out, and that corpse was a male. He had been soaking in the sea every day for an unknown period of time, but his corpse had not swelled or rotted. When he was fished out, he was still alive, except that there was a sword stabbed in the middle of his heart.
There was also a red gem on the hilt.
The man looked like a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was very good-looking.
If it wasn’t for the sword in his body, those who didn’t know would have thought that he was asleep.
However, his body was filled with a murderous aura. The brothers who had salvaged the corpse that day were scared sick on the spot. Some of them were bold enough to try touching the man who was fished out of the sea. In the end, within two days, they heard that the hands of the people who had touched him began to rot, and their entire bodies festered and died.
Everyone was panicking, and some merchants bought it at a high price.
It was sent to the capital for exhibition.
Even if the corpse was burned, it would not rot, and the sword on its chest could not be pulled out.
It attracted many people to stop and watch.
Lu Huaijiang knew that it was because the capital was haunted.
Countless girls had been sneaked into the house. The windows were wide open, leaving only two footprints on the windowsill.
Some busybodies compared the footprints to the male corpse and found that they were exactly the same.
After going around in circles, the Unrotting Male Corpse was actually sent directly to Lu Huaijiang.
The fisherman brothers who had picked up the man’s body were also sent over.
Lu Huaijiang sat in front of the hall in his dragon robe. The fisherman brothers were trembling all over. He couldn’t even speak properly.
“Small, small…This commoner, this commoner didn’t know that corpses could come back to life. She didn’t know that he was a pervert. I’m just a fisherman. I sold it when I saw the high price.” The fisherman brothers knelt on the ground and trembled.
“Who told you to say this? Tell me how you found this thing.” The adults glared at the fisherman, and the fisherman continued.
“I am a fisherman near the sea. It’s just that our luck is not good. Every time we go out to sea, we will definitely catch the least fish. A few years ago, there was a famine and many of our families starved to death. Only us brothers survived until today.”
The fisherman brothers were a little embarrassed. ” Other people go out to sea to take a boat, but our three generations can only take three buckets. ”
“Others get three buckets, but we get three.” He was just unlucky.
“Why didn’t you change your profession?” Sir Xia asked with raised eyebrows.
The fisherman’s brother immediately had a bitter expression. The ancestors refused to change. We brothers were hungry when we were young, so we wanted to change our profession. In the end, the elders in the family said that if they changed their profession, they would jump into the sea to sacrifice. He was forced to swear that his descendants would have to fish on the sea.
He said that one day he would be rich.”
