Chapter 177 Zheng’s Treasure House
Under the leadership of Chen Liancang, Zheng Yi once again came to the Taizu Imperial Tomb in Tianshou Mountain.
Today, the Taizu Imperial Tomb is completely silent, with only dozens of shadow guards cleaning it.
These people are the most loyal to Zheng Yi. They were born as dead soldiers and would never betray Zheng Yi.
In the Jinluan Hall, the huge golden coffin had already been removed, and even the dragon chair had been pushed away.
A dark hole appeared in front of Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, please see that the jade steps located in the middle of Taizu's Imperial Mausoleum are actually hollow."
Chen Liancang explained: "Not only is there the general hub of the three major formations here, but there is also a huge 'Zheng Family Treasure House'."
"The treasure house has no mechanisms. It seems to be specially prepared for Your Majesty."
"The old slave went in personally to check. There is no danger."
"Let's go down and have a look."
"No!"
Liu Chengen led the way, followed by Zheng Yi, and stepped into Taizu's treasure house.
This was a staircase spiraling downwards. Before it was time for a cup of tea, a huge empty square appeared in front of Zheng Yi again.
Three arrays arranged in three directions appeared in front of Zheng Yi.
Each formation plate is composed of hundreds or even thousands of special formation patterns, which is very complicated.
There are also a large number of holes in it, which are obviously places where spiritual stones are placed.
"Your Majesty, this is the formation plate of the three major formations. At that time, you only need to use the spirit stone to activate the formation eyes, or the monks can personally take charge, and the three major formations can be activated."
"It's a pity that we don't have spiritual stones in our hands, so this formation can only be used as decoration."
Zheng Yi was moved in his heart and said: "There are no spiritual stones in Taizu's treasure house?"
Chen Liancang shook his head and said: "No, your Majesty, please~"
Chen Liancang continued downward, and soon a gate as tall as a person appeared in front of Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, this is Taizu's treasure house."
"There are a large number of cultivation objects left by Taizu in it, and many old slaves don't know them."
Zheng Yi looked carefully and found that there were only two gates, but the surrounding walls were decorated with dragons and phoenixes, showing a royal style.
On it, there are also four characters "Zheng's Treasure House" engraved on it.
"Go in and have a look."
"No!"
The door to the treasure house was opened. Zheng Yi walked in and saw a faint smell of decay filling his nose.
It was obvious that no one had entered this treasure house for more than three hundred years.
The area of this treasure house is not very large, and you can see it all at a glance.
From Zheng Yi's perspective, it is almost as big as a football field.
But the height is very high, about ten meters, and the entire space is nearly 80,000 cubic meters.
On both sides of the secret vault, there are rows and rows of huge iron blocks as tall as a person, thousands of them.
"What the hell is this?"
Zheng Yi knocked on the iron block. It made a clanging sound and felt very hard.
Chen Liancang said: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about this. It should be a material used by monks to refine weapons."
Zheng Yi walked a few more steps and immediately said: "Mr. Chen, please go back to Beijing and let Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan and Concubine Yu come. We are both not monks and we cannot enter Baoshan and return empty-handed."
"No!"
Chen Liancang said respectfully and immediately turned around and left to deliver the order.
Zheng Yi, on the other hand, continued to move forward with his hands behind his back and checked.
The rows of huge rocks were hundreds of meters long. Zheng Yi stopped and looked at them from time to time. They were very novel.
After walking past the pile of stones, there were rows of neatly stacked wooden boxes. When he opened them, he saw another pile of things Zheng Yi didn't recognize.
Continuing forward, various different materials appeared in front of him.
Special wood, metal, and bones were piled there randomly, while others were packed in wooden boxes and scattered around.
Keep moving forward.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Zheng Yi came to the innermost part of the treasure house.
This should be the most precious thing in the treasure house. On a huge platform, there are twelve large or small wooden boxes and jade bottles.
Zheng Yi counted them carefully, and there were seven wooden boxes and five jade bottles placed there quietly.
No one has touched it for more than three hundred years.
But this place is located underground. Even though it has been more than three hundred years, there is not a trace of dust on the wooden box and jade bottle, and they are almost as good as new.
"These things..."
Zheng Yi didn't intend to open it. It would be better to wait until Concubine Cui and the others arrived to open it together.
After all, wouldn't it be a little embarrassing if you didn't recognize it after opening it?
"Huh? This is..."
Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. Among several wooden boxes, there was actually a...book?
"Why are there books in this place?"
After taking it over and flipping through it, I realized that this was not a book at all, but... a booklet that recorded some secrets.
I don't know how much time passed. Zheng Yi rubbed his sore neck before closing the book in his hand.
"It turns out that the sudden dissipation of spiritual energy in this life is not due to the spiritual energy tide. The spiritual energy tide is a long time, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years." "But the spiritual energy dissipation in this life seems to be caused by someone. A mysterious person, or a mysterious species, absorbed more than half of the mysterious changes, and it is still slowly being absorbed even now."
Zheng Yi murmured: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs."
"The more monks there are, the more spiritual energy they will occupy privately, which will make the spiritual energy of the entire world thinner."
"But the same thing is that once a monk dies, the magic power in his body will return to heaven and earth again and turn into spiritual energy again."
"But this time the world has changed, the dead monks have not recovered their spiritual energy no matter how much spiritual energy they have. In other words, there is some kind of existence that has been secretly absorbing spiritual energy, and the speed is very fast!"
These secret letters were all found in this booklet.
"Their ancestor of the Zheng family was originally an inner disciple of the Huangquan Sect. He has been preparing for this matter since he obtained this secret."
"Under the catastrophe of heaven and earth, ten major sects and thousands of sects fought for survival, and even the entire continent was broken into countless pieces."
"The continent where Dayu is staying now is actually the original site of part of the sects such as the Mayfly Sect, Huangquan Sect, and Tianmo Sect. The other continents were all sent overseas."
"After the Huangquan Sect fought with other sects until the blood was almost drained during this great catastrophe, and the whole clan moved overseas, the ancestors of the Zheng family stayed behind."
"Relying on planning and some resources snatched from the great tribulation, Dayu was established!"
Zheng Yi murmured: "The original intention of the Taizu of the Zheng family was to rely on the mortal dynasty to consolidate his own power, and at the same time use the secret method of the Huangquan Sect to transform himself into a spiritual corpse, survive for thousands of years, and wait for the spiritual energy to revive."< br>
"It's a pity that who knew that in just over three hundred years, I would be interrupted!"
"And these things..."
Zheng Yi turned back, opened his arms and said: "These things are all cultivation objects specially preserved by the Taizu of the Zheng family for his own future cultivation. They are all exquisite!"
"It's a pity. The booklet records that among these cultivation objects, not many of the spiritual herbs and elixirs have been preserved because of the loss of spiritual energy."
"I don't know if the spiritual energy in the remaining elixirs has also dissipated?"
At this moment, there was a movement at the entrance of the treasure house, it was Chen Liancang and others.
"This old slave has met Your Majesty." Chen Liancang said: "The three empresses have arrived."
Behind him, Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan, and Concubine Yu all saluted.
"I have met your Majesty."
"Please get up quickly, my three beloved concubines. You and I are both husband and wife and Taoist friends, so there is no need to be polite."
Concubine Cui said: "Your Majesty, our Taoist friends, the monarch and his ministers are in the front, the husband and wife are in the middle, and the last is the Taoist friends. The etiquette cannot be abolished."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "My dear, I am still thoughtful. By the way, my dear, these things were left to us by Taizu. Unfortunately, Mr. Chen and I are just novices in cultivation and are not very familiar with these cultivation objects."
"I wonder if the three beloved concubines can solve my doubts?"
"Then let me wait and see."
The three of them acted separately and inspected the contents of the entire treasure house.
Soon Cui Xiabing shouted: "Your Majesty, please come."
"What did my concubine find?"
At the entrance of the treasure house, Concubine Cui looked at the large black iron block with the largest number and largest area and said: "This object should be the most basic material for monks to make weapons, fine iron!"
"I have seen it from my master, but the master only has a small piece, about the same size as a bronze mirror."
"I didn't expect... there are so many in Taizu's treasure house!"
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, showing great surprise, and her little mouth opened.
"Refined iron?"
Zheng Yi looked up and down at the pile of big black iron blocks and asked directly: "How to use it?"
Concubine Cui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, monks in the Qi training stage cannot use it. Only monks in the foundation building stage can condense the spiritual fire with their own magic power to melt it and then build it."
"Or look for some heaven and earth spiritual fire to melt it."
"I think Taizu must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to refine so much refined iron."
"With so much refined iron, I even feel that I can create the most basic magic weapon for all the disciples of a sect!"
"A sect...tsk tsk tsk, there must be at least hundreds or thousands of people."
Zheng Yi was also amazed. At this time, Concubine Jade, who was not far away, also shouted: "Your Majesty, I know this thing."
Zheng Yi and Concubine Cui came over to take a look and found Concubine Yu standing in front of a pile of wooden boxes.
Several of the boxes have been opened, and Concubine Yu is counting the contents.
Zheng Yi took a look and saw that it seemed to be a pile of yellow paper, layered on top of each other.
"Your Majesty, this thing is a talisman paper. I have seen it from my master. The soul-detecting talisman given by my master before was drawn on this talisman paper."
Concubine Yu pointed to several other boxes and said: "In those boxes are cinnabar, Chen ink and other materials, which are necessary materials for drawing talismans."
"Can your beloved concubine draw talismans?"
Concubine Yu said sheepishly: "I have asked the master for advice, and the master gave me a book called "Initial Interpretation of Talismans", but until now, I can only draw two basic talismans: the spiritual talisman and the divine walking talisman, and she succeeded. The rate is very low.”
Zheng Yi said: "As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The success rate of Ai Fei's drawing of talismans is not high because the number of talisman drawn is very small."
"There are so many talisman papers here, so my concubine can use them at will, and she quickly improves her skills in drawing talismans, especially the spirit-detecting talismans."
"I hope that my country, Dayu, will have many more people with spiritual roots."
"Spirit-finding talisman?"
Concubine Jade suddenly said: "By the way, Your Majesty, didn't I have a few soul-detecting talismans in my hand before? I tried them on some sisters in the palace."
"Unexpectedly, there is actually a person with spiritual roots."
"Oh? Who is it? What kind of spiritual root?"
