Chapter 433 Lutai
I didn't use my phone to take pictures, but just by looking at the terrifying fluctuations emanating from those crystals, I knew they were definitely not ordinary items.
"Go around the treasure stand and go back." Lord Di's voice sounded in his mind again.
"Can I take some of the crystals here back? If I need to buy something in the future, I won't have to ask you for money." Zhou Wen asked after swallowing.
Even he couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly when faced with the mountains of high-level crystals.
"If you don't want to live, go ahead and take them. If you want to live, stay away from them and don't even touch them." Lord Di said.
"Stingy." Zhou Wen muttered, walked around the piles of crystals, and when he came to the back of the crystal pile, he found a strange creature lying on top of the crystal pile, curled up as if it was sleeping.
The creature was golden all over and looked like a pangolin, but it seemed a little different.
"What kind of dimensional creature is that?" Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the pangolin lying on the pile of crystals. Since Lord Di didn't remind him to be careful, he thought there shouldn't be any danger.
"In your human terms, it is a mythical creature called the Money Keeper, which can devour any creature that is greedy for wealth." Lord Emperor said.
"Mythical creature! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhou Wen's face changed slightly and his voice lowered.
"As long as you don't be greedy and touch those crystals, it won't wake up. Why bother talking to it?" Lord Di said as a matter of course.
Zhou Wen was secretly shocked. If he had not listened to Lord Di and greedily taken the crystal, he would have been in great trouble.
Behind the treasure stand was a stone staircase. Zhou Wen walked down the stone steps and came to a hall. There were many strange animal-shaped stone sculptures in the hall. The stone sculptures themselves were simple and majestic, but there was nothing special about them. However, in their mouths, they all contained egg-shaped objects of various colors and sizes.
"Are those companion eggs?" Zhou Wen looked at the two rows of stone sculptures on both sides of the hall. Each stone sculpture contained a companion egg in its mouth.
"Yes, in your human terms, those are mythical companion eggs." Lord Di said.
"Mythical companion egg? What kind of place is this? How can there be so many treasures?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
There are at least a dozen stone sculptures, and they all hold mythical companion eggs in their mouths. This is a bit too scary.
"Haven't you ever been to school and learned the history of the East District?" Lord Di said with some disdain.
"What does this have to do with whether I've studied history or not?" Zhou Wen asked back.
"Since you have studied history, you should be able to recognize Lu Tai when you see it. It is a unique building in the world." said Lord Di.
"Lu Tai? Is it the famous Lu Tai that was built by the tyrant who exhausted the national strength and exploited the people?" Zhou Wen was not good at history. He only looked at it when preparing for exams, but he had heard of Lu Tai because it was so famous.
Back then, the tyrant poured all the power of the country into building the Lu Tower, and hid countless rare treasures inside the Lu Tower. He ate, drank and had fun there, enjoying the ultimate wealth and luxury in the world, which made Zhou Wen a little envious.
"Yes, this is the Lutai you humans are talking about in legends. However, the purpose of Lutai is not as simple as storing treasures as you humans say."
"Then what is it used for?" Zhou Wen asked.
Lord Di said with a strange laugh, "You've probably seen any movies or TV shows about Lutai, right? There's a scene where the enchanting concubine invites the gods to come down from Lutai and drink at the same table with the tyrant, right?"
"I have seen them, but in fact they are not gods. They are all transformed from monsters invited by the witch." Zhou Wen said after thinking for a while.
"Although that part of the plot is very unrealistic, it is somewhat related. The function of this Lutai is related to the creatures from other dimensions. It can also be regarded as summoning monsters." Lord Di said lightly.
"Can I take these companion eggs away?" Zhou Wen asked, staring at the companion eggs. These are all mythical companion eggs. If you take any one away, you can sell it for a sky-high price. Even if you don't sell it, you can use it yourself.
"What do you think?" Lord Di asked back.
"If you can't take it, forget it." Zhou Wen said helplessly.
"Why don't you hurry up? There is a pot of flowers in the right corner of the hall. This is what you want to take." Lord Di urged.
Zhou Wen went to the location that Lord Emperor had mentioned, and indeed he saw a pot of flowers in the corner. It looked very inconspicuous, a gray clay pot with a flower planted in it, with two leaves and a flower lazily growing on it. The flower looked like a morning glory, drooping listlessly, as if it was malnourished and about to wither.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you move it away?" Lord Di urged again.
Zhou Wen had no choice but to move the flower pot. He was in a bad mood. He had seen so many high-level crystals and mythical companion pets, but in the end he could only move this one pot of flowers out.
"Lord Di, it's not easy to come here. Do you think there is anything else I can take away? So that I don't have to make another trip next time." Zhou Wen asked desperately.
"Everything in Lutai is guarded by dimensional creatures. If you have the ability, go ahead and take it. You can take as much as you want. This emperor will never stop you." Lord Di said disdainfully.
Hearing her say this, Zhou Wen gave up the idea of going to get other things. He walked back holding the flower pot and asked, "What's the use of this pot of flowers?"
"Don't underestimate it. This flower has the ability to teleport. From now on, when you buy something, just put it in the flower and it will be teleported to me."
"It was originally just a fixed-point transmission device?" Zhou Wen was suddenly disappointed.
"You don't have to be disappointed. In the future, if this emperor has something to give you, I can also send it to you through it. It is much more convenient than your human mobile phones. It is probably similar to the quantum teleportation device that you humans are currently researching but have not yet achieved results." Lord Emperor thought for a while and said.
Zhou Wen forced a smile and could only hope to get good things from Lord Di in the future. Otherwise, his trip would be in vain and he would gain nothing except a pot of flowers.
Zhou Wen looked around unwillingly and saw a portrait of a strange nine-tailed fox carved on the wall in front of the hall. He couldn't help but look at the portrait and said, "Is this the true appearance of the legendary enchantress?"
"Yes, if I were you, I would not continue to look at her." Lord Di said coldly.
"Why?" Zhou Wen just asked, and he felt that his Mixian Sutra actually responded, and the flow speed began to slow down.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen saw an evil light flashing in the eyes of the nine-tailed fox.
