The layout of the room is different from that of a human room. There are no tables, stools, beds and other daily necessities, only a few wooden shelves and boxes.
The two of them visited more than a dozen houses in a row, but they were all the same, basically empty.
"This damn thing really didn't leave us anything!" Zhang Laosan felt extremely disappointed.
Wang Cheng suddenly said: "Why not?"
As soon as Zhang Laosan heard this, he immediately became energetic and looked around: "Where is it? Where is it?"
"That!"
Wang Cheng raised his head at the wooden boxes and said, "Aren't these? According to you, this underground royal tomb has existed for at least five hundred years. After such a long time, these boxes are still intact. They are said to be treasures." It’s not an exaggeration.”
He was not joking. Although the material of these boxes could not be seen, there was no doubt that they were top-notch. If placed in their hometown, these boxes would definitely fetch a good price if sold.
"cut!"
Zhang Laosan sneered and looked down upon these things at all. How could they be as real as gold, silver and jewelry?
"I can't believe it. There really is nothing left in such a huge area!"
He went to other houses.
Wang Cheng shook his head secretly. He really didn't want to give up. Since this royal tomb had been discovered in advance, how could he keep the good things?
Sure enough, after transferring all the houses, Zhang Laosan still found nothing.
"Damn it! I don't believe in evil yet!"
Zhang Laosan was still "unyielding in his evil intentions" and walked another hundred steps to another house.
As soon as he entered, he quickly exited and shouted to Wang Cheng: "Quick! Come and take a look!"
Wang Cheng followed immediately and found a lot of debris scattered on the ground after entering.
He picked up a piece of debris at random, but couldn't tell the material, and found another piece with writing on it.
"Dekang's forty-nine-year system!"
His expression suddenly changed, and he knew the meaning of this line of words very clearly.
"Dekang" is the reign name of King Kang, the fourth king of the Zhou Dynasty. It was the forty-ninth year of Dekang, almost a thousand years ago.
Zhang Laosan looked at the fragment in Wang Cheng's hand and said, "This thing has words on it. Isn't it valuable?"
The characters on the fragments are very ancient. Although Zhang Laosan is literate, he basically does not understand these ancient characters.
Unlike Wang Cheng, he has almost the entire Martial Arts Pavilion's books in his mind and has a certain understanding of ancient characters.
Wang Cheng threw away the fragments and said, "If it hadn't been broken, it would have been worth a lot of money. After all, it was something from a thousand years ago."
"Something from a thousand years ago?"
Zhang Laosan looked shocked, looked at the fragments on the ground, and said: "Then isn't this an antique? It looks like this style was not fired in an ordinary brick kiln."
Wang Cheng said: "This is an artifact from the Zhou royal family. It should have been destroyed by those who came in."
Although Zhang Laosan had no education, he could still hear the hidden message in this sentence and said in horror: "How come the artifacts made by the royal family appear here? Could this be the tomb of a certain Zhou king?"
Wang Cheng was also very puzzled. The place they were currently in should belong to the outer city of the underground royal tomb. Logically speaking, there were no such items buried with them.
It should be noted that generally large-scale underground royal tombs are divided into several areas, namely outside the outer city, the outer city, the inner city, and the underground palace.
The royal mausoleum of the leader of a small country, and the outer city is not qualified to bury the royal utensils of the Zhou royal family. These things are usually rewarded by the king of Zhou. They are very precious and should be buried in the underground palace with the king.
"Is there really a Zhou king buried here?"
Apart from this explanation, Wang Chengcheng couldn't think of any other possibility, but it was absolutely impossible.
Because the tombs of Zhou kings in the past dynasties were all buried in Kyoto, or the old capital, they could not be buried so far away.
While feeling depressed, he suddenly let out a light sigh and immediately looked back.
Zhang Laosan on the side also followed his gaze and looked back, but found nothing and said depressedly: "What's wrong?"
"Did you see anything flying over?" Wang Cheng asked.
"No!"
Zhang Laosan shook his head. Suddenly, his expression changed and he said: "You...don't scare me! We are in the tomb now!"
"Did you see it wrong?"
Wang Cheng was thoughtful, thinking that there was still a long road ahead, so he put this matter aside for the time being.
The two continued to investigate.
Different from the row of empty houses that I encountered before, this row of houses has a more life-like atmosphere. The broken fragments on the ground include bowls and pots, which seem to be specially responsible for the daily life of this underground royal tomb.
It's just that there are so many things, but none of them are complete, they are all fragments.
Zhang Laosan's heart felt cold every time he searched a room. He recognized many priceless treasures.
Glazed bowls, crystal cups, jade pillows... any of these would be worth at least a thousand pieces of gold when taken out, but they were all broken into pieces, not to mention there were many treasures that he didn't recognize.
Zhang Laosan stood at the end of the row of houses and said with great distress: "Damn it! Damn it!"
"Yes! You do deserve to die!"
Suddenly a sneer responded to him, and Boss Jin was seen leading a group of people standing not far away from the opposite side.
There were nearly a hundred and ten people, all dressed in black, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, aiming at them.
Wang Cheng's pupils shrank. The powerful crossbows held by these men in black were actually iron-armed copper crossbows!
You know, this is a forbidden weapon in the military. How could this group of people have this thing in their hands?
Do they have another origin?
Suddenly, he looked back, and there were about a hundred more men in black behind him, all holding iron-armed copper crossbows.
The leader is a young man in his thirties, wearing a standard military armor, and the weapon in his hand is also a military weapon - Ma Shu!
Zhang Laosan's originally dark face seemed to be dripping with water at this moment. He approached Wang Cheng and whispered: "My dear friend, we are in big trouble now!"
Before Wang Cheng could speak, Boss Jin across from him sneered: "You bitch, are you scared now? If you kneel down to catch my shit and pee now, I might be able to let you go!"
Zhang Laosan was so angry that his face turned black and red.
"You bitch! Kneel down here! Please let me let you go!" Boss Jin said with a "haha" smile.
Zhang Laosan was about to curse when a "go" sounded in his ears. At the same time, a huge force came from his shoulder and he flew into the room next to him.
Pushing Zhang Laosan into the room with one hand, Wang Cheng flashed and entered the house on the other side.
"Master Zhou, do it quickly, don't let these two people escape!" Boss Jin immediately reminded.
"Hmph! Are you leaving?"
The young man in the lead sneered. He was the "Master Zhou" that Boss Jin called him.
Mr. Zhou waved his hand: "Array!"
In an instant, about two hundred people in front and behind formed two military formations that could be attacked and retreated.
"Fire the arrow!"
With another command, the two military formations loosened their bowstrings, one fired at Wang Cheng and the other at Zhang Laosan.
“Dong dong dong!!”
As soon as one wave came down, the two houses were riddled with holes and the roofs almost collapsed.
Zhang Laosan was hiding in a corner of the room. In front of him, several feather arrows were inserted into the wall, almost piercing the wall that was nearly 20 centimeters thick.
It was not that he had never seen a crossbow before, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful crossbow.
This kind of power would be difficult for even a top-notch martial artist to block, let alone a warrior in the Qi and Blood Realm.
"put!"
At this moment, another wave of crossbow arrows was shot out of the air, and several of them passed through the window and headed straight for him.
Zhang Laosan had already hid in the corner, with no way to retreat, so he had to wave his sword to resist, and several crossbow arrows hit the sword with a "ding, ding, ding" sound.
The blade, which could be called a treasured sword, was deformed by the crossbow arrow. The powerful shock made his palms numb, and his two arms soon became numb and unsteady.
Zhang Laosan's expression changed drastically. If such an attack were to happen again, he would definitely not be able to stop it.
"boom!!"
At this moment, a column flew out from a house opposite, which was the pillar supporting the roof.
The cylindrical material was hard and heavy, and it hit Mr. Zhou and his group.
Mr. Zhou showed disdain and did not dodge or dodge. He stabbed the column with a horse spear in his hand.
"boom!"
A cold light flashed through Ma Shan, and the thirty-centimetre-diameter-thick column exploded in mid-air.
However, more things hit him, tiles, bricks, columns... almost a house was demolished.
"Little tricks!"
Lord Zhou sneered, jumped into the air, and waved his horse to face these things.
"Bang bang bang!!"
I saw the cold light coming from Ma Shan, which filled the sky. The flying debris was blocked and turned into powder.
Zhang Laosan hid in the room, peeking at the scene outside, and said in a voiceless voice: "Master of martial arts!"
It is impossible for a martial artist to be able to carry out such a large-scale attack. Only Wu Zong has this ability.
This young man in his thirties is actually a martial arts master!
Zhang Laosan's heart suddenly became extremely bitter. It seemed that not only would he not be able to find the gold and Ye Sanniang tonight, but his life would be lost here.
"Bang bang bang!!"
Mr. Zhou stood in the air like a god of war, waving his horse spear, and everything that came towards him was strangled to pieces by the horse spear in his hand.
Wang Cheng was still in those houses and did not show up, but more and more things were thrown at Mr. Zhou.
Master Zhou said disdainfully: "Is this all you can do? If you only have this strength, you'd better come here and surrender, so as not to suffer the physical pain!"
Boss Jin on the opposite side warned: "Mr. Zhou is worried! This little bastard is so ruthless and a master of both martial arts and Taoism that he cannot be compared to the likes of Zhang Laosan!"
"genius?"
Lord Zhou said this, but he didn't care in his heart, saying: "There are not ten but eight geniuses who died in Zhou's hands. The dead geniuses are nothing!"
"boom!"
He smashed the flying things into pieces again, and disappeared in mid-air. He appeared on the roof of a house in an instant and blocked Wang Cheng in advance.
Just listen to the surge of true energy in his palm, covering Ma Shan's body in an instant, and Ma Shan's body seemed to have doubled in size at once.
It's not that the horse's trunk has grown longer, it's actually the real essence that has become substantial.
"Die!"
He wrapped his arms around a huge tree and struck at the row of houses at his feet.
"boom!"
The roof exploded in an instant, and several houses were knocked down by one blow, which was completely destroyed.
A figure jumped out from the broken house...
