Happy Emperor

Chapter 134: 'Ancestral Teachings' Are a Bit Harmful

"kindness."

Lin Tian nodded slightly and walked towards the underground secret door without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment."

"If Your Majesty permits, I am willing to lead the way."

As Lin Tian took a step forward, Lin Feng behind him hurriedly called him to stop.

"Hahaha."

Lin Tian turned his head and chuckled, "Old Governor Lin, do you think there is a trap in there?"

"That's not what I meant."

Lin Feng said hurriedly, "This secret door has probably never been used by anyone since it was built. I am worried..."

"Come on, go down with me and take a look."

Lin Tian didn't hesitate and took the lead to stride into the secret door.

The steps in the secret door are designed like a spiral staircase, which is why sunlight cannot directly shine down.

After walking up about fifty steps, with the help of the torchlight, a stone door appeared in front of them.

"Old Governor Lin, it looks like I'll have to trouble you to open this door."

Lin Tian looked at the stone door, pushed it gently and found that the stone did not move at all.

It is speculated that the stone gate here also has a similar mechanism.

“This…this.”

Lin Feng quickly came to Emperor Li, looked at the stone door in front of him with the same surprise, and tried to push it.

"You don't know how to open this door?"

Lin Tian looked at Lin Feng who was frowning and asked.

"That shouldn't be the case. Why...why is there a stone door here?"

Lin Feng looked anxious. He tried hard to recall what his father said to him before he died and the letters he left behind.

The above only mentioned how to open the stone door of the Longfeng County Ancestral Hall, but it never mentioned that there is a stone door under the secret door!

"Your Majesty, I really don't know how to open this door."

Lin Feng stared at the stone gate for a long time, recalling the various documents left by the Lin family of Longfeng County over and over again in his mind, but he did not think of any clues about this door.

When Lin Tian heard this, his face immediately turned black.

He was extremely depressed, but he didn't blame Lin Feng.

But this feeling is so unpleasant, just like the passing score in English exam is 60 points, but when I checked the results it showed 59 points.

It's the last minute thing, but after school starts, you must take a make-up exam just like those students who got a few points in the exam.

"Did someone among you forget to tell the next generation about this during the inheritance process, which led to..."

Lin Tian turned to look at Lin Feng and guessed.

"Uh... that's possible." Lin Feng's heart sank to the bottom at this moment. He spoke with extra caution.

The Lin family of Longfeng County had spent a hundred years trying to do this one thing, but this was the result.

Lin Feng is not only embarrassed, but also extremely ashamed.

They wished they could bang their heads against the stone gate that was blocking their way and die.

"Besides you, does anyone else know about the ancestral precepts of the founding ancestor? For example, other people who branched out from Longfeng County."

"Only the Lin family, who holds the position of prefect of Longfeng County, has the right to know this secret. And we will only reveal it after we have examined their character."

Lin Feng sighed and said, "Until now, even my son Lin Qin doesn't know about this. He's afraid that if more people know about this, someone will leak it and fail to fulfill the mission entrusted by the First Emperor."

"This secret is so damn well kept that even our own people can't get in now."

Lin Tian cursed secretly in his heart.

But at this point, blaming Lin Feng would be useless. He could only try to dig from other places and see if he could get in.

"Let's go up first."

Lin Tian didn't want to waste too much time in this place.

Although the ancestral precepts of the founding emperor said that opening this door would help it to continue in Daxia for a hundred years, it was common for ancient emperors to have the habit of bragging.

Didn't every emperor order historians to sing praises of his "great achievements" during his lifetime?

Sometimes it might just be a small victory, but if not handled properly, it could be touted by the historians who cater to the emperor as an unprecedented and unparalleled battle.

The Japanese were particularly good at this. They were just fighting between a few villages, but they made it sound like a world war.

Although Lin Tian thought so in his heart, he still took up the torch and shone it carefully up and down the stone door. But he still found nothing.

"Your Majesty, I will carefully read all the ancient books in Longfeng County after I go up there, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Although Emperor Li did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

But Lin Feng was still a little nervous. It would be better if the emperor didn't know about this.

But now that we know it, and the First Emperor also portrayed this "ancestral precept" as being so powerful that it can reverse the situation in Daxia.

It would be strange if Emperor Li was not tempted.

"Well, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This matter..."

Lin Tian tried to comfort him, but before he could finish his words.

There was a "crack" sound coming from under the feet of the two people.

It was like some mechanism had been triggered.

Then there was another rumbling sound.

"Oh no! It's the sound of the hidden door on the stone slab above closing."

Lin Tian shouted a few times, not caring about the ancestral teachings of the First Emperor at this moment.

He took two steps at a time and ran upwards.

But it was still a step too late. The stone door closed much faster than it opened.

When Lin Tian ran to the door, he only saw a ray of sunlight.

"Damn it, is this First Emperor a fool? Is he always trying to screw over his own people?"

Lin Tian tried to push the stone slab open with one hand while cursing in his heart.

He never expected this to happen.

I thought that my cheap ancestor left behind some treasures or something, or at least some inspirational words.

But now, it seems like this is going to trap our future generations to death.

"Your Majesty, this...this."

Lin Feng ran up panting, the firelight shining on his face. The word "embarrassed" could best describe his expression at the moment.

"But your ancestor, the emperor, is asking you to wait for a virtuous and capable descendant of the royal family?"

Lin Tian now began to suspect whether this old man Lin Feng had colluded with King Pingdong to harm him.

You know, this old guy has always thought of himself as a coward and incompetent.

"How dare I, Your Majesty, deceive you? This is what the First Emperor's ancestral precepts say."

Lin Feng replied confidently.

Seeing him like this, Lin Tian did not doubt that Lin Feng was working for King Pingdong.

Otherwise, if a normal person were to succeed, he would definitely start talking trash.

Moreover, if the emperor himself lost the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, An Bilie above would definitely turn the place upside down.

The mechanism hidden on the wooden pillar will be discovered sooner or later.

Just when both of them were confused about what was going on, a noise came again from deep below.

But the sound was obviously much quieter than before.

Lin Tian and the other person looked at each other, no one said a word, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the stone gate below again.

Not long after, the two of them arrived in front of the stone gate again.

However, the stone gate still showed no signs of moving.
