There are countless treasures in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. Without the personal consent of the Tang Emperor, it would be extremely difficult for others to enter it.
The eunuch led Lin Yan through the palace complex and came to an inconspicuous attic. It seemed ordinary in the entire palace, but it was precisely this that made it even more strange!
You must know that the Tang Dynasty has been quite prosperous since the founding of the country by our ancestors. Even some side halls in the palace have red walls and glazed tiles, and gold lacquer carved dragons and phoenixes are used on the pillars. They look royal and luxurious!
Under such circumstances, it is unusual for such an ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated attic to appear. Even though today's Tang Dynasty is not as prosperous as it used to be, even though it has just experienced a war and many palaces collapsed, such a place is still recognized by Lin Yan at a glance.
Of course, he would not come to such an arbitrary conclusion, but after sensing the strength of the gatekeeper, he was sure!
The four gatekeepers all have strength above the middle stage of the Houtian realm, and one of them is close to the late stage. Such strength is considered the master of a sect in the world. Although the royal family is heroic, they will not use such masters to guard the gates. , so the things in the attic must have such value!
As soon as they approached, the four gatekeepers became vigilant and looked at Lin Yan with eyes filled with scrutiny.
The eunuch took out a jade talisman and handed it to the man on the left. The latter took it and inspected it. Then the four of them exchanged glances to confirm that it was correct.
Then, the man walked towards the door under the attic and pressed the jade talisman into the depression in the center of the door. Then the four of them each took out a key and inserted it into the keyhole around the jade talisman. Medium, twist gently.
Immediately, a "squeaking" sound was heard, the door opened, and the gatekeeper's voice sounded: "Please come in!"
Lin Yan nodded slightly when he saw this, and then stepped forward, but he paid more and more attention to this attic.
To make Emperor Tang be so solemn and vigilant, in addition to expert guarding, it also requires jade talismans and four scattered keys to open it. I think the contents inside will not disappoint!
"It's really watertight!" Lin Yan thought, if he wanted to force his way in, warriors below the Xiantian realm would definitely die!
Even if a master above the Xiantian realm is held back by these gatekeepers for a moment, other masters will come to join forces to kill him, and the most indispensable thing in the palace is masters. Being under siege, even if you take the treasure, you can't take it away.
Lin Yan entered the building and saw weapons everywhere, but it was quite spacious, so it didn't seem too crowded.
After checking it out, he found that most of the weapons here were Xuan-level weapons, and the materials and forging skills were pretty good, and they could barely be called top-quality weapons!
This is what it should be. After all, it is something from the palace and cannot be cheapened too much. However, Lin Yan is still a little dissatisfied. These are not the only things in Tangtang's treasure house, right?
After some investigation, Lin Yan found three dazzling weapons deep inside, which looked like they were extraordinary at first glance.
"Earth level!" Lin Yan whispered.
Nowadays, he is no longer the rookie he was back then. Not only does he possess amazing strength, but he also has sharpened his ruthless eyesight. Naturally, such a treasure cannot escape his eyes.
On the left was a black gold trident with a golden dragon wrapped around the long handle. Lin Yan weighed it with his hands. It weighed at least a thousand kilograms. It was a rare and powerful weapon in the battle formation!
The one on the right is a suit of golden scales, shining under the candlelight, emitting a dazzling light.
As for the one in the middle, it was a dark purple short knife, which exuded an extremely strange aura. Its sharp edge was restrained, but it made people feel chilly.
Lin Yan's current state can't help but be affected by this sword, which shows that he is extraordinary.
His palm was covered with a layer of vitality, and then he held the handle of the knife and looked through it. His eyes fell on the position on the handle of the knife. There were two small words engraved on it - Hanyue!
Staring at the blade, Lin Yan felt as if his soul was about to be frozen. As expected, there should be poison on the blade.
Different from the crude method of applying poison on the blade, this knife should have been repeatedly tempered with poison. It should not be a problem to seal the throat with blood, but there is no test subject yet.
There is only Lin Yan here, so it is impossible for him to be stabbed. If this accidentally goes wrong, Lin Yan may become the first smart person in history to poison himself with a knife!
"This sword can be taken away, but it's a pity that no weapon spirit was born!" Lin Yan shook his head, and then felt that he was too demanding.
Even for weapons above the Earth level, it is only possible to give birth to weapon spirits, not necessarily. Moreover, the conditions for the birth of weapon spirits are extremely harsh. Even weapons that are close to the heaven level will find it difficult to reach this step.
"But that's okay. If Hanyue Sword gives birth to spiritual wisdom, then it will be qualified to choose its master. Then I may not be able to take it away!" Lin Yan thought.
But he still has some questions. The trident and golden scale armor are obviously royal belongings, but the style of the Hanyue Sword is inconsistent with them. How come it appears here?
"It's probably a trophy!" Lin Yan thought for a while, but didn't do any further research.
He put away the Hanyue Sword and walked towards the second floor. It is worth mentioning that after putting the scabbard on, the blade's edge is restrained and still looks mysterious and coquettish as far as the eye can see.
Lin Yan thought that he could give the knife to Ming Ya. With her current level of improvement, the power of the "Silk Wrap" he gave her in the past would become insufficient, so Han Yue could just replace it.
As for "Silk Tangle", my current machine skills are many times stronger than before. I can improve them when I have free time.
The second floor seems quite messy, with various items piled here, compressing the space sharply and making it very crowded.
After a cursory glance, Lin Yan found that there were a lot of precious materials placed on this floor. In addition, there were many weird gadgets with no idea of their use.
He searched purposefully and finally found a black gold stone in the corner the size of an adult's fist.
There is a record in the academy's books. This object is called "Meteorite". It is rumored that it fell from the sky, but its true belief cannot be verified.
This kind of stone is extremely hard. It is originally excellent for forging weapons. As long as you add a little bit to the blade, even ordinary iron can become a peerless magic weapon!
However, this stone is too hard to cut, let alone forge into weapons. Come to think of it, this piece of "meteoric iron" was put aside here for this reason, just as a rare collection!
Lin Yan put it away. This kind of thing is hard to come by. If others can't do anything about it, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything about it.
The third floor was basically filled with all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and elixirs. Although Lin Yan's eyes were shining, he was not embarrassed to plunder them. He only took a few spiritual herbs, which were all for nourishing the soul.
After doing this, Lin Yan walked out of the pavilion, took the things he had chosen, and said to the eunuch: "Father-in-law, please take me to see His Majesty. It is better to just take the things and leave!"
The eunuch shook his head and said softly: "Your Majesty said, if the Marquis likes something, he can just take it away without having to meet Your Majesty!"
Lin Yan was stunned and said to himself: "The Emperor of Tang is really not afraid that I will empty out his treasure house! Oh, if I had known, I would have taken more!"
With this thought in his mind, Lin Yan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sir. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch said: "Master Hou, there is no need to be polite. We will send you out of the palace first, and then we will send a message to the officials of the Imperial Academy."
Lin Yan nodded, and under the leadership of the eunuch, left the attic and headed outside the palace...
Arithmetic is time-consuming, not to mention that the problems listed by Lin Yan are extremely difficult and require a lot of manpower to deduce.
Lin Yan succeeded in diverting some of the pressure, but the officials at Tai Academy were in dire straits!
I was doing my studies well, but suddenly such a difficult task came, and many officials were complaining.
There are quite a few of them who are extremely interested in this. After all, according to what Lin Yan wants to calculate, the items he makes must be unusual!
However, what Lin Yan gave out was only a part of it, and was not related to each other. No matter how smart and knowledgeable the officials were, it was difficult to piece together a clearer picture.
After returning to the academy, Lin Yan took out "Han Yue" and gave it to Mingya.
The girl looked at the dark purple dagger, and her beautiful eyes shone slightly, which showed that she liked it in her heart.
Lin Yan said softly: "Xiaoya, this is a gift for you. Don't forget, I still owed you the knife back then!"
The memory moved forward. When the two were competing in the academy, Lin Yan destroyed Ming Ya's scimitar. At that time, I did not expect that the gears of fate would turn and the two of them would have so much fate in the future.
Ming Ya said: "You still remember! But, there is also 'Si Tang'."
It was made by Lin Yan herself, so she cherished it very much and kept it with her. In the days without Lin Yan, "Si Tang" is there, as if I can feel his company.
Lin Yan said: "I like to give it to you!"
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, this knife is extremely sharp and contains poison, so you must be careful when using it!"
Ming Ya nodded slightly when she heard the words. Then, a blush appeared on her pretty face, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she suddenly stood up on tiptoes and kissed Lin Yan's cheek like a dragonfly, and then ran away quickly.
Lin Yan reached out and touched his cheek, feeling the remaining warmth, and said softly: "This girl..."
…
The next day, Chaotianque sent a letter asking Lin Yan to meet at a tavern.
After rescuing him that day, Lin Yan was forced to get involved in the battle in the city. Later, he had some things to deal with, so he didn't care about it for the time being.
When Chao Tianque met Lin Yan this time, he did not want to talk about the relationship between father and son, but to tell Lin Yan that he was leaving!
Lin Yan asked: "Where to go?"
Chaotianque said: "Bei Desert."
Lin Yan asked doubtfully: "Buddha country?"
Chao Tianque nodded and said: "There are many doubts about what happened back then. Your mother...it was the Buddha Sect who besieged her in the end! And I suspect that she may still be alive!"
Lin Yan was shocked when he heard this. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, even if the hope was too slim, he would still go and find out!
Chao Tianque said: "Now that I am leaving, I must let you know."
Lin Yan said: "I will go too!" After a pause, he continued: "Take care of yourself all the way!"
Chaotian Que nodded slightly, drank the wine in one gulp, then turned and left...
Lin Yan looked at his back disappearing into the crowd and thought to himself: "Bei Desert, it's time to go there again!"
