The treasure was indeed found, and a "Martial Heart Water Jade" exactly as described in the book was found in a jade box.
It's just that this Wu Xin Shui Jade is not big, only half the size of a human head. It is completely different from the "one foot square" Wu Xin Shui Jade owned by the Qiande Kingdom in ancient books.
Either it's nonsense in the ancient books, or the piece found is not the piece that Qiande Shangguo owned back then.
But for the time being, it no longer matters whether the ancient books are correct or not. With this piece of martial heart water jade, if you take it back and cultivate it quietly for a period of time, it is very possible to cultivate a martial pool again. This is an absolute great joy for Nanyuan Kingdom.
Does it mean it was obtained without any effort? Not really. At least if Yang Rui was not a member of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, it would be impossible for him to determine "Three Elements and Five Willows" and "Bronze Turtle". If Yang Rui hadn't learned the art of geology, he wouldn't have been able to find this cave.
It seems easy and doesn't take much effort, but in fact it is the only inevitable result of a variety of chances and coincidences.
Except for Yang Rui, even Zhang Yan who came here would not be able to find the most useful thread from the seemingly clueless knot.
However, except for the "Martial Heart Water Jade", Yang Ruiduo was not satisfied with the contents of the treasure. There was a lot of wealth, but he was not interested.
In addition, these belongings were piled up at the entrance of the underground palace, and they were scattered. Some of the boxes were even overturned on the ground. Coupled with the distribution of the corpses among them, it is difficult for Yang Rui to suspect that not long after these treasures were brought in, these people did not even have time to place them neatly, and a murderous disaster struck them. After their death, Yang Rui was probably the first person to see them.
"Is Xu Yegong among these people?" Yang Rui put "Wuxin Shuiyu" into his storage backpack, then checked the belongings in the other boxes a few times, curled his lips, clapped his hands and suddenly thought of another question. If Xu Yegong brought these things out before the collapse of the Qiande Shangguo, then his closest confidants must be doing this kind of secret. And he himself is most likely a fellow traveler.
But among the thirty-seven corpses on the ground, none of them looked like Xu Yegong's. Because although these corpses have long been a pile of withered bones and no trace of human beings, the pieces of armor, weapons, and accessories can still be vaguely distinguished. After all, it was only a few hundred years ago when the Qiande Kingdom collapsed, which was not enough to eliminate these rigid things.
Xu Yegong is the prince of Shangguo. Even if he is in trouble, he still needs dignity. At least some rare jade ornaments, or gemstone ornaments, right? But none of these things were found among the thirty-seven corpses. They are all the kind of items that would be worn by military lieutenants, and have nothing to do with the ostentation of a prince.
"Above Heaven"
Does that mean Xu Yegong didn't come? Or is it not here?
Yang Rui thinks it is the latter reason. After all, after entering here, the situation inside the palace should be led by a leading spy who led Xu Yegong around. The person carrying the belongings will be a step slower, so he will fall behind.
Want to go in and have a look?
Yang Rui looked at the corpses on the ground. He still hasn't seen how these people died in the first place. The only thing that was certain was that their cause of death would not be trauma or an attack in the general sense. Because there are no obvious signs of fighting on these corpses. Even their weapons were all kept in their scabbards and not drawn out at all.
It was either poison or the cause of death in terms of the soul.
Yang Rui thought for a while, but did not leave in the end. Instead, he fully armed himself and affixed the Qi Condensing Talisman and several soul-suppressing and Qi shield talismans. Then he took out his magic weapon and started walking into the underground palace. go.
Walking very slowly, Zhang Yan was extremely careful with every step he took. He would first use his senses to examine carefully over and over again. At the same time, he would also carefully observe all visible objects within the range of the fire lighting ball he threw. Whenever there is any disturbance, he will immediately use his escape technique to return to the starting position and exit this underground palace.
It's hard to imagine how much effort it took to build this place. Its level of detail is no less than that of the Wanmin Palace in the Imperial Palace of Nanyuan Kingdom. It's just that both the stone carvings and the ornaments that look like pottery are of a strange style that Yang Rui has never seen before. Moreover, although many items in the palace have a visible purpose, such as chairs, tables and coffee tables, they are much smaller in size. It's like it's specially prepared for children.
Yang Rui didn't find any danger along the way. Even in his perception, this underground palace didn't even have a trap or a dangerous arrow path.
It took Yang Rui almost a cup of tea to reach the center of the underground palace.
The corpse once again appeared within Yang Rui's sight, illuminated by the illuminated fire beads.
A piece of corpse was scattered on the ground in a semicircular shape. It was too fragmented to be left behind by normal decay after death. It should have been broken into pieces and scattered everywhere at the beginning of death. The black jet-like traces on the ground seemed to indicate this.
Yang Rui didn't dare to move anymore. He didn't know if he could handle the crisis that broke out in an instant. So he took out the paper talisman and went over to investigate for himself, while he slowly stepped back.
The paper talisman quickly arrived at the scattered corpses. A broken purple jade waistband and a severely deformed brass wristlet made Yang Rui's previous guess become a reality. Purple jade is extremely expensive, indicating that some of these broken corpses are of high status. The brass wrist ornaments have delicate and complex patterns, but they are made of brass. This kind of contradictory collection can only be found by Xu Yegong.
Xu Yegong died here. He came to hide the treasure and even decided to set up a village at the foot of the mountain as a hint. In the end, he left his life and the treasure here. So much so that outside he has become a legend that "has disappeared".
As for how Xu Yegong considered it all in the first place, it is no longer testable.
"what is that?"
There was nothing wrong with the corpse, but there seemed to be something wrong with a vertical eye-like golden sculpture in the center of the spray-shaped corpse. Because when Yang Rui's perception swept over this sculpture, there was a sinister feeling that made his hair stand on end.
To touch or not to touch?
Yang Rui only hesitated for a moment before decisively turning around and leaving. Although he was curious, he would not risk his life to satisfy his curiosity. Leave first, and then understand the strange things here. If nothing else, it would be better to go back to Cliff Mountain and report to Master than to act recklessly on his own, right?
Go back and everything is still fine. Yang Rui's guess was further strengthened. Xu Yegong's leading spy probably came here just like him, and went back to report after finding out that there was no danger. When he came back, he was killed because of some contact with the statue with vertical eyes.
