A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1957 Nine Heavens, No One except the Descendants of the Lan Family is Allowed to Enter
The place where the previous dynasty hid the treasure is this nine-story underground palace in front of us, which occupies the entire mountain. On the plaque in the center of the palace are three large gold-plated characters "Nine Heavens".
These three words are vigorous and powerful, like a dragon flying in the sky. Even after years of baptism, they still shine as brightly as ever.
"Go in." After Feng Qingchen had seen enough, the Ninth Prince took her hand and walked forward.
Knowing that Feng Qingchen was not feeling well these days, the Ninth Prince's uncle took very small steps so that Feng Qingchen would not be unable to keep up. When walking up the stairs, he would stop every few steps to allow Feng Qingchen to catch his breath.
In ancient times, the number ninety-nine was always respected in the construction of palaces. A nine-story palace has ninety-nine steps. The steps in front of you have ninety-nine steps, but each step is extremely wide, so it is not easy to walk on.
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince finally stepped onto the stairs, only to find that the palace gate was closed. The paint on the outside of the gate had long since corroded, revealing the iron sheet inside, but it could not conceal its majesty.
These two doors alone are enough to make people feel daunted.
The previous dynasty was indeed generous. I wonder what material this door is made of. Feng Qingchen doesn't think it looks like iron.
The Ninth Prince did not let the Eighteen Riders push the door. The door was estimated to weigh at least a thousand pounds. It was impossible for them to open it with brute force alone. If they wanted to open the door to the Ninth Heaven, they had to find another way.
"Awoo awoo..." The snow wolf suddenly ran towards the corner happily. Its cheerful cry naturally attracted everyone's attention. Feng Qingchen was the first to follow.
The snow wolf stretched out its front paws, climbed onto the wall, and used its claws to scrape off a thick layer of dust on the wall, revealing the large characters inside.
"No one except the descendants of the Lan family is allowed to enter!" Feng Qingchen read it out word by word, then turned around to look at the Ninth Uncle and Xuan Shaoqi.
The two stepped forward, pushed aside the snow wolf, and wiped off all the protective film covering the words. There was also a sentence next to it: "Those who trespass will be buried here."
"This Nine-story Heaven is not a place that ordinary people can enter. It is difficult to build this palace, but it is not difficult to collapse it." Feng Qingchen took two steps back and looked at the Nine-story Palace carefully again, focusing on the cave that was smashed out.
If the two sides of the cave could not hold up, the small peak on top would collapse, and the entire Nine Heavens would collapse. If they forced their way in and caused the entire mountain to collapse, everyone would be buried there.
"The Lan family is really stingy. They have come here after a life-threatening situation, but they do not allow anyone other than our clan to enter." Xuan Shaoqi spread his hands, indicating that he could not help them after coming here, and could only look at the Ninth Emperor's uncle: "See if the former dynasty recognizes you as their grandson."
"What basis did the previous dynasty have to determine whether it was their bloodline?" Feng Qingchen looked up and asked the Ninth Uncle. If it was based on blood relationship, then those with the same blood type could integrate with each other, and this restriction would be meaningless.
"I don't know." The Ninth Prince also shook his head: "The royal family always has some secret methods." These secret methods are definitely not as simple as outsiders think.
"Okay..." Feng Qingchen nodded: "Since we don't know, we can only try. No matter what, we have come here and none of us will be willing to return empty-handed."
It took me more than a month to finally get here, but I didn’t even get to take a look at the treasure. It was such a loss.
"Let's go and take a look." The Ninth Prince took the lead and walked towards the gate of the Ninth Heaven, followed closely by Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi. The eighteen riders stood on the left and right sides to protect everyone.
The group came to the gate again and found an hourglass-like device on the gate. It seemed that the hourglass appeared because of the words Snow Wolf had just dug out.
"Smart." Feng Qingchen didn't ask the snow wolf how it knew it. He just patted its head and praised it.
The snow wolf raised its head proudly, its eyes shining...
Feng Qingchen patted its head and continued to stare at the hourglass. There was no sand in the hourglass, but black blood. The blood had already dried up and stuck to the inner wall, making it look extremely dirty.
"Is this a blood test?" Everyone present was smart and understood it at a glance.
"It can only be opened with the Lan bloodline, but there is too much dirty blood in it. I'm afraid even bloodletting won't confirm it." The Ninth Prince looked at the dirty hourglass with some disgust. For a man with mysophobia, this hourglass made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Leave this to me, I'll clean it up." Feng Qingchen took out a bottle of medicine from the smart medical bag and dripped it into the hourglass. The dirty blood in the hourglass slowly melted away. Then Feng Qingchen used something like a small tube to suck out the dirty blood.
"Amazing." Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders were extremely impressed by the various strange things Feng Qingchen took out from the smart medical bag. Feng Qingchen's bag was simply a Qiankun bag. With these things, they really didn't understand why the Ninth Prince was still looking for treasure.
If they knew that Feng Qingchen's smart medical bag only contained these little things and life-saving medicines and equipment, they probably wouldn't say that.
This has nothing to do with what the Ninth Prince wants to do. The Ninth Prince wants to conquer the world and rule the world. What he needs is killing weapons, strong soldiers, and enough food and grass, which Feng Qingchen can't give.
After the hourglass was cleaned, Feng Qingchen took a step back, handed a clean small scalpel to the Ninth Uncle, and made a gesture of invitation.
The Ninth Prince took it calmly, without any nervousness or expectation on his face. He took the scalpel and gently scratched his finger. Bright red blood flowed into the hourglass. Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi didn't care much about the result. One lowered his head to play with the wooden box, while the other looked at the surrounding scenery. The Eighteenth Rider was very excited and kept staring at the Ninth Prince...
Soon, the hourglass was filled with blood. Feng Qingchen tried to stop the bleeding for the Ninth Uncle, but before the bleeding stopped, the hourglass slowly turned over, and the blood inside disappeared drop by drop.
"Looks like there's hope." Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I thought you didn't care." The Ninth Prince's brows relaxed, and his expressionless face softened a lot.
It doesn’t matter whether the previous dynasty recognizes him or not. What matters is that he can enter the Ninth Heaven. He doesn’t want to work in vain.
"It has come to this point. Whether it succeeds or not is not up to us. If we can get in, that's the best. If not, we can think of other ways." Feng Qingchen really didn't care. If the Ninth Prince's blood was useless, then he would find a way. If that didn't work...
Then let it be destroyed.
They couldn't get it, nor could they let the previous dynasty get it, otherwise they would give the enemy a chance to grow stronger.
"Yes. There is more than one way to get in." The Ninth Prince's idea was similar to Feng Qingchen's, so he was not that worried.
The treasure is right before their eyes, and they will always find a way.
"Click..." All the blood had dripped away, and only a clicking sound was heard. The two tightly closed doors slowly moved inward, revealing a tiny gap.
"It's open, it's open..." The Eighteen Riders' eyes lit up, and they wished they could put their faces close to the treasure to see what it looked like. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen also stood in the middle and looked inside with interest.
The Nine Heavens were so wonderfully built that they were interested in taking a look inside, but...
