Tomb Keeper: West Chamber

The day I was transferred to Xiaoling Guard, I thought I had gotten a huge advantage—no fighting, no border crossing, and 30% more monthly rations. On the first night of duty, I heard someone knocking three times on the sealed stone door. The commander, Xiao Xun, came to kneel down every full moon, holding a copper key in his hand and whispering: "Blessings, Holy Spirit." Taizu has long been buried. Who is he talking to? I found another identical key in the arms of Mei Yongzhen, the commander of the palm print. One lock, two keys. The two commanders knew each other had the key, but neither one could break it. I climbed into the west room along the crack in the ground - it was empty. There is a line of words engraved on the wall: "Send the original to the North. Don't look for it." What I am guarding is an empty tomb. Someone gutted this place before me. And the two broken keys in my hand may be the last clue in the world. In seventy days, he went from a poor boy who found a good job to a person who knows too much. I drew everything I saw on canvas and buried it in the corner of the stable. I don't know what that is. But I knew—someone was looking for me. And those who really know the overall situation are already on their way north.
