"How much gold must this be?" Bai Feng rubbed his eyes and sighed as he looked at the magnificent backyard of the county government office.
It's even more extravagant and dazzling than the dragon race.
Xiao Zhixing found the main courtyard, knocked out the guards, woke up Xiao Xing who was fast asleep, and hypnotized him without any further ado.
"Xiao Xing, the Yin Dynasty treasure you possess? Where is it?"
"I...I don't know...where the treasure is..."
"Where?" There really is such a treasure? She deepened the hypnotic effect.
Xiao Xing struggled painfully for a moment, "In...Black Wind Mountain..."
Do you have a map?
"have……"
Where is the map?
"Books...the late Emperor's house, portraits..."
"How did you know about the Yin Dynasty's treasure?" she asked the most important question.
"The late emperor entrusted it to me, I..."
Xiao Yuzhen?
When did you receive it?
"Yu, the twenty-ninth year of Yufeng..."
That was... the third year after Xiao Yan obtained the system, that year.
She carefully recalled historical records and learned that after Empress Zhang passed away, Xiao Yuzhen fell ill.
Natural disasters occur frequently around the world.
She then asked, "Why did the late emperor entrust the treasure to you?"
Xiao Xing trembled all over, "I...I'm...unremarkable..."
Indeed, they were insignificant, not even a minor figure.
But isn't he worried that this person will covet the treasure? And that even Xiao Yan and the others don't know about it?
Look at him, he's now decked out in gold and silver, having hoarded the treasure all to himself.
"Do you know why he left behind the treasure?"
At that time, the court and the country were basically stable. Could Xiao Yuzhen possibly be a fortune teller?
Did you foresee the chaos that would ensue three years later?
That's why we leave some assets for our descendants?
Xiao Xing frowned in pain, “...There are...there are demons...demons are causing chaos in the country…”
Xiao Zhixing's heart skipped a beat. A demon?
She seemed to know what she meant.
But how did Xiao Yuzhen find out? And how much did he know?
After he found out, he still passed the throne to Zhao Yunqi. Was he forced to do so?
She then asked, "Why are you colluding with the northern barbarians?"
"They discovered I had hidden treasure... ...and threatened me..."
No wonder, he not only provided cover for the gray-clad men under Lovi's command, but also had connections with the Northern Barbarians.
Or perhaps the man in gray was also connected to the Northern Barbarians, and was likely instigated by Lovi.
"Is the ambush on the Song family army at Guixiong Pass related to you?"
Xiao Xing was covered in a cold sweat, clearly on the verge of collapse. "There was...there was...the He family...it was...it was my arrangement...to get close to Song..."
He slumped over and completely lost consciousness.
With those questions in mind, Xiao Zhixing found the treasure map and followed the map's directions with Bai Feng to Black Wind Mountain behind Black Wu County.
"Huh? This is the direction to the place where the hidden weapons and gold bricks are located," Bai Feng said.
They found their destination: the treasure of the Yin Dynasty was hidden in the mountains opposite the hideout.
"Can we take those things over there now?" We hadn't touched the gray-clad man before, and the weapons and gold bricks were still there.
"Take care of this place first, then go to the other side."
After groping around for a while, the two opened the hidden door to the treasure. As soon as they stepped inside, the thousand-year-old lamp lit up in response.
The first thing you see is a stone chamber, piled with at least tens of thousands of kilograms of gold and silver.
Other jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings were also piled up in one corner.
Xiao Zhixing accepted all the items.
But as she looked at it, something felt off; there was a hidden mark on the treasure map.
The treasures of the Yin Dynasty seem too few, don't they? Could these treasures not be all of it?
“This is not difficult. I’ll just try out my telekinetic scanning.” Bai Feng showed off the skill he had learned from 186, scanning all directions with his divine sense.
"Found it! Over here."
The two stood in front of a stone wall that appeared completely normal, examining it carefully.
Finally, Xiao Zhixing found the mechanism to open the hidden door. He pried open the stone, revealing a keyhole inside.
"Ah, no key." Bai Feng sighed. "Should I just break it open?"
Xiao Zhixing shook his head. There must be many traps inside. If they were to force their way through, the mountain might collapse.
She stared at the keyhole, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
A thought suddenly struck him. He took off the Yin Dynasty jade seal bracelet from his wrist and began to assemble it, looking at the faint gear-like shape inside the keyhole.
Click, click.
A few minutes later, a jade key was produced.
I never imagined that this thing could not only be turned into an imperial seal, but also be pieced together into a key.
It is truly a masterpiece.
Without hesitation, I inserted the key and turned it.
Buzz—
After a gentle vibration, an entrance appeared in front of me, and a passageway instantly lit up.
It's even more efficient than modern voice-activated lights.
Bai Feng was the first to go inside; she loved adventure the most.
The two walked through the passageway, leaped over a stone bridge spanning the mercury pool, and quickly crossed while holding their breath.
The next door was opened with a different key pieced together from the bracelet.
Flying over unfathomable mountains of knives, they finally pushed open the last jade gate.
The journey seemed uneventful, but without the key, she estimated that the two of them would have been through a lot to reach their destination.
Wow!
Even the two of them, who had seen the world, were stunned.
What is a treasure trove? It contains over 100,000 tons of gold, silver, jade, and jewels.
Coral, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, medicinal herbs, and fabrics were piled up to a height of 100 meters.
Along with other miscellaneous valuables, they were left there like junk.
What delighted her were the books that were out of print from various dynasties, as well as various secret manuals.
In the corner, there were also 100,000 forged longswords and tens of thousands of sets of armor.
Because the air is sealed here, these things are very well preserved.
We're rich! We're rich!
Take it all, take it all.
Xiao Zhixing thought that if he didn't have his own space, he could only look at these things and drool over them, and it would be a problem to quietly transport them out.
