Chapter 457: Who Is He?
After a while, the person in the coffin didn’t move.
Chu Luo and Li Yan looked at each other and she stuck her head out of Li Yan’s arms.
Coincidentally, she met the man’s calm gaze.
The man looked at her quietly.
Chu Luo subconsciously asked, “Are you okay?”
Unexpectedly, the man moved his eyes towards her.
Chu Luo subconsciously looked up at Li Yan.
Li Yan put away the dagger and asked, “Is your name Chu Yichen?”
The man blinked after a while.
Chu Luo walked out of Li Yan’s arms in surprise and stood by the coffin to size him up. As she sized him up, she asked, “This should still be what it was like 18 years ago. Do you remember how you got into this coffin?”
Chu Yichen looked at her, looking like he had no idea.
“Let me take your pulse.”
After saying that, Chu Luo reached out to grab his wrist and took his pulse.
“Your pulse and heartbeat are normal.”
After saying that, she took out a silver needle and said to him, “I’ll look at the blood in your body. Maybe I can tell why you’ve remained young for so many years.”
Chu Yichen continued to look at her.
Chu Luo inserted the silver needle into his arm. After a while, she took it out and looked at the color of the blood on it. She said in surprise, “The blood hasn’t undergone any changes.”
Li Yan also looked at the silver needle in her hand and guessed, “Could it be due to this dagger?”
Chu Luo looked at the dagger in his hand and nodded after thinking. “It’s possible. This can be considered a divine artifact. Moreover…”
Chu Luo really couldn’t bring herself to call a stranger ‘Dad, so she said, “Moreover, something must have happened to him before he entered this coffin. There’s obviously a seal on the coffin that sealed his body.”
Li Yan looked at Chu Yichen, who was lying there, and said to Chu Luo, “No matter what, let’s bring him out first.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo moved to the side and Li Yan came over to help Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen’s body was obviously stiff. Other than his eyes, he couldn’t move anywhere else.
Worried that he would feel uneasy, Chu Luo said, “Don’t worry. This kind of situation is normal. You’ve been lying for too long. You have to slowly adapt to your body.”
Chu Yichen continued to look at her with his gentle and calm eyes.
Chu Luo recalled that when this person went to the tomb, she wasn’t even born yet. She added, “I’m your daughter. My name is Chu Luo.”
These words surprised Chu Yichen, but he quickly regained his composure.
After Li Yan got him out, he prepared to carry him away on his shoulder.
Chu Luo quickly stopped him. “Yan, carry him away on your back.”
After all, he was the father of this body. Chu Luo still felt compassion for him.
Li Yan didn’t object and turned to carry him on his back.
The two of them walked towards the hole where Qin Ming and the others were.
At this moment, the Sun father and son had already recovered some strength. The two of them were sitting there eating the compressed biscuits and drinking water that Qin Ming had given them.
When they saw the two of them enter, they looked at the man on Li Yan’s back in surprise.
“Chu, who is he?” Anya was the most surprised. She didn’t expect the usually cold and noble CEO Li to carry someone.
Third Master Sun exclaimed and said, “Why does this gentleman look a lot like Chu Luo’s father?”
The Sun family had also investigated Chu Luo’s family background. They must have seen Chu Yichen’s photo.
Moreover, Chu Yichen and Chu Zhengyang resembled each other.
Sun Tianhao looked at Chu Yichen in disbelief and voiced his confusion. “Chu Luo’s father was already 24 years old 18 years ago. It’s already been 18 years. Why does he still look so young?”
Actually, the others had the same doubts.
Anya seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise, “Did Daddy Chu obtain the legendary divine pill in this tomb?”
Sun Tianhao immediately widened his eyes and said in shock, “There’s really a divine pill in this tomb!”
Third Master Sun and Qin Ming were very calm. The two of them looked at Chu Luo at the same time.
Chu Luo looked at Sun Tianhao and Anya as if they were idiots and said,
“He didn’t even enter that imperial tomb. This is the tomb of XX Emperor that was brought over when that imperial tomb was moving… What are you guys thinking? If there really is such a divine pill, the emperor would have lived forever and not died. It would definitely have made his country last for tens of thousands of years and ruled forever.”
Chu Luo’s words made so much sense that Anya and Sun Tianhao couldn’t refute her.
Third Master Sun then asked, “Little Chu, do you know why your father can still maintain his appearance from 18 years ago and not die?”
“He accidentally entered a coffin containing the weapon Emperor XX carried while he was alive. That weapon had previously absorbed dragon aura and later absorbed many Yin souls, so it could maintain his appearance from 18 years ago.”
“I see.”
Sun Tianhao suddenly thought of something and asked Chu Yichen, “Uncle Chu, how did you survive lying down for the past 18 years?”
When Chu Luo heard Sun Tianhao call Chu Yichen ‘Uncle’, she suddenly looked at him with bright eyes.
Sun Tianhao felt Chu Luo’s gaze and looked baffled. “Am I wrong?”
“No. He was unconscious before and only woke up just now.”
“Oh, oh.”
Li Yan said, “Let’s leave this place first.”
Just as he was about to carry Chu Yichen again, Qin Ming walked over and said, “Master, let me carry him.”
“No need.” Li Yan carried Chu Yichen and asked Third Master Sun, “Which path did you come from?”
There was a door in this room.
Third Master Sun said, “It’s the door to the other room. But we can’t take that path anymore.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said to them, “Let’s go to the main tomb first. I’ll ask them which path to take.”
“Who are you asking?” Sun Tianhao and Anya asked at the same time.
Chu Luo smiled at them and deliberately kept them in suspense. “Guess.”
She then walked out with Li Yan.
After Chu Luo went out, she took out the copper bell and shook it.
The dumplings that were fixed there all moved.
Other than Li Yan, the others were all shocked and guarded.
Chu Luo quickly chanted an incantation. After a while, the dumplings jumped and walked into a room.
Chu Luo said to everyone, “Let’s follow them.”
She then followed the dumplings with Li Yan.
The others quickly followed.
With the dumpling in front leading the way, everyone quickly arrived in front of a stone door.
When the dumplings stopped, Chu Luo said to them, “We’re at the exit.”
With that, she shook the copper bell again and the dumplings returned the way they came.
Sun Tianhao looked at Chu Luo as if she was a big boss and couldn’t help but say, “Chu Luo, you’re too amazing. You can actually control such dangerous dumplings.”
Chu Luo raised her chin tsunderely. “Of course.”
At this moment, Qin Ming picked up Chu Yichen from Li Yan’s back.
Li Yan said to them, “Find out how to get out first.”
Everyone looked around the stone door but didn’t find the switch to open it.
Chu Luo thought for a while and pressed her ear against the stone door.
She said to them, “The stone door should be by the lake. Once we open it, the water will flood in.”
Third Master Sun said, “Could there be a robber’s tunnel nearby?”
The few of them searched the vicinity and returned quickly. They all shook their heads.
“We didn’t find the exit.”
“There aren’t even any traces of a robber’s tunnel.”
“Could it be that we can only go out through that stone door?”
“If it’s really as Chu Luo said, it’s all water outside. Once the stone door opens, all the water will flood in.”
Chu Luo and Li Yan stood by the stone door. Chu Luo thought for a while and asked them, “Have you seen the Yin River in the tomb?”
The Sun father and son immediately said, “Yes.”
“Do you remember how far away from the Yin River is?”
The father-and-son duo thought for a while, before Third Master Sun replied, “It shouldn’t be very far.”
“That’s right. The door here can be opened, but the time we open it depends on the rise and fall of the lake.”
“This is too magical. We might as well go out with the flow of the Yin River.”
Chu Luo glanced at Sun Tianhao. “The Yin River is underground all year round. No one knows what’s inside. After we leave this door, we can swim out of the lake… unless you don’t know how to swim.”
“How is that possible!” Sun Tianhao felt that Chu Luo had a misunderstanding about him and immediately puffed up his chest. “We train in swimming regularly.”
Chu Luo had no interest in continuing to discuss this matter with him. She turned to look at Chu Yichen, who was leaning against the stone wall, and said to him, “You’ve been in the tomb for more than ten years. When you come out of the tomb, you won’t be used to it for a while. I’ll let you enter a deep sleep first. When we go back, I’ll concoct some medicine for you to adapt to the outside world before waking you up.”
Chu Yichen looked at her and agreed.
Chu Luo let him enter a deep sleep.
Then, Chu Luo said to them, “This door can definitely be opened, but we have to time our exit. Just like the tide, we have to grasp the time.”
“How?”
Chu Luo squatted on the ground and picked up a little dust with her fingers to take a look. She said, “If nothing goes wrong, this door is by the stone wall of the island in the middle of the lake. The tide will fall during the lunar transit. When the time comes, this door will open.”
“But how do we know when it’s the lunar transit?”
“Look at the color of the moss in these places. The moss growing in the ancient tombs will turn darker at night. If the color turns darker, it proves that it’s the lunar transit.”
Chu Luo felt that the astronomy of modern society was really brilliant.. She decided to study the subject seriously after she returned.
