Ning Yan knew he probably wouldn't believe her, so she simply took out one of her embroidered pouches, said "take it," and the blanket on the bed disappeared.

With another wave of his hand, the blanket reappeared on the bed.

Si Yutang rarely showed an expression of being unsophisticated.

"Are there really such powerful Taoist priests in this world?"

"I also asked him how to make a ghost condense into a physical body. I want you to come out and keep me company. However, he can't do it for the time being, but he promised me that he will come to find me when he comes up with a solution."

Si Yutang was overjoyed. "If my physical body can truly be restored, I will be able to be with my wife day and night, never to be separated again."

Ning Yan: There's absolutely no need for that.

The reason for creating a physical body for them is because of their karmic connection in this life; it's a way of giving them some compensation. There's really no need for them to be together forever.

There are countless men in the world. We can sleep with one and then move on to another. Sleeping with the same one all the time will really get boring.

After getting dressed, Ning Yan took the map that Song Yanzhao had drawn for her and gestured to Si Yutang, "Look, we're probably around here now."

Your kingdom of Bao is right here.

As for where your treasure is located, we'll discuss that when we reach the capital of Bao Kingdom.”

"good."

Ning Yan reached out and grabbed Si Yutang's arm. With a flick of her teleportation talisman, the two appeared in an open space, with a city gate not far away.

Ning Yan had excellent eyesight and saw two large characters written on the city gate: "Sculpted City".

Si Yutang exclaimed excitedly, "That sorcerer is truly skilled; he can actually travel a thousand miles in an instant!"

Sucheng was the former capital of Bao Kingdom and is now the capital of Su Kingdom. It is only about 500 li away from the capital of Ran Kingdom.

"Let's go, let's enter the city first."

Si Yutang arrived early today. The two exchanged only a few words before running out. It was not yet Hai Shi (9-11 PM), and the city gates of Sucheng were still open.

The two walked towards the city gate, paid the copper coins for entry, and entered the city.

"There isn't a single place here that I recognize."

Ning Yan said, "It's okay, I can just stay in Sucheng for a couple more days. I've never left our small town before, so I can have a few more days to play."

Si Yutang: "It's not that bad. I can still find where I keep my things."

There were still restaurants and brothels operating in the city, and pedestrians were walking on the streets, but Si Yutang did not intend to ask anyone for directions. Instead, they walked west along the main street of the city. The two of them did not walk fast. In any case, there was no curfew in the city, so they could wander around as they pleased.

"It's still here after all."

Ning Yan looked at the place he mentioned, "The theater?"

"Yes, it's the theater."

"Let's go in."

Ning Yan thought to herself, "Could this person have left all his treasures in the theater?"

This thought process is truly something else; if you actually put it here, no one would have thought of it.

There are many props for opera performances, and it's perfectly normal to move and carry them around every day. Even if Si Yutang moved things in during the day, no one would suspect anything.

Moreover, no one could have imagined that even after several dynasties had fallen, the theaters were still there.

Business is still so good.

Instead of entering through the main gate, the two went around to the back gate and climbed over the wall into the backyard of the theater.

Despite not having been here for hundreds of years, Si Yutang led Ning Yan around to the door of a storeroom with ease.

He reached out to pull off the lock, but Ning Yan quickly stopped him. She took off the hairpin from her hair, gently poked it twice, and with a click, the lock opened.

"Let's go in."

This really is a warehouse.

The room was filled with boxes, which were probably props for a play.

Si Yutang walked to the northwest corner, moved all the boxes piled up in the corner to reveal the wooden frame that the boxes were blocking, then moved the wooden frame away, and patted the wall about twenty times. A black object about half the size of a foot popped out from under his feet. Si Yutang kicked it, and the object retracted. Immediately afterward, the wall moved.

A doorway that could fit two people side by side was revealed. He reached out to Ning Yan, "Let's go, the things are all downstairs."

Ning Yan handed him her hand, and the two entered the secret room hand in hand.

Ning Yan was truly amazed this time. The so-called secret rooms she had seen before were worlds apart from this one. After descending thirteen steps, she walked through a long corridor. Every few steps, the lights on the walls would automatically turn on. After walking about two or three hundred meters, the path ended.

Si Yutang pressed on the wall for a while.

Ning Yan could hear a clear clicking sound.

Then, the wall would automatically move aside, and Si Yutang would lead her to step inside.

There are nine roads in total.

One path leads to the treasure location, another to the city gate, and yet another to the palace; the rest are all dead ends.

Without my guidance, or if one were unaware of the mechanisms, even if one reached the treasure's location, one would be unable to find their way out. The mechanisms change passages after each use, and a single wrong step will result in being shot and killed by various traps.

He explained as he walked forward, and Ning Yan listened carefully, because this person had told Ning Yan how to get through the secret passage.

In the end, Ning Yan summarized it with one sentence: "A dead end is a way out."

Life is death, and death is life.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Si Yutang finally opened the last door.

Upon seeing what was behind the door, Ning Yan exclaimed "Wow!"

The space, roughly five by six, was filled with silver.

This silver did not exist in the form of silver ingots, but rather in silver bricks.

It's not that I haven't possessed greater wealth than this before. Just like a billionaire wouldn't necessarily have a hundred million in cash spread all over their house, it's quite a shock.

"What? This is the least valuable thing in my treasure trove."

"Did you really say you would give me all your treasures?"

Si Yutang turned around, letting Ning Yan see his sincere little eyes.

With a wave of her hand, Ning Yan made all the silver bricks disappear in a flash.

Si Yutang laughed. That storage bag was truly amazing; so many silver bricks were all taken away with a wave of his hand. "This is my least valuable secret room. Come on, I'll take you to my vault."

Ning Yan's eyes quickly crinkled with laughter. Gold bricks, all of them gold bricks!

The room was filled with gold bricks!

They're all hers!

"Hurry up and put it away, I'll buy you candy."

Ning Yan glared at him. Did he think she was a child?

But he didn't hesitate to act; with another wave of his hand, all the gold bricks in the room disappeared.

Then she went to the place where treasures were kept. The room was full of pearls, gold and silver artifacts, antique vases, and rare calligraphy and paintings preserved using secret methods. All that could be found in Ning Yan's vicinity was dust.

There are still several large warehouses full of weapons!

Ning Yan didn't let this one go either.

Si Yutang was increasingly shocked as she looked. How could so many things have been put into that small purse?

If he had such a storage bag, why would he bother to create such a secret room?

"Let me take you on a tour of the national treasury."

Ning Yan: ...You're so naughty, but I love you so much!

"Okay, okay, hurry up."

But aren't they afraid the secret passage up there will be discovered?

"The things in the secret room are all gone, so let them be."

The two followed the secret passage to the royal palace of the Kingdom of Su. (End of Chapter)
