Chapter 881: Open the Treasure
In the study, the candlelight was flickering, and in the dim light, Lin Feng's face was full of firmness, and he looked unquestionable.
In order to seize the treasure of Tiangong, the battle of Shiyan City, Wu Yue, Cai Zheng Siguo, and Da Yan buried how many elite troops, he didn't know, how could he choose to give up at a critical moment?
Isn't that all the work done in vain, and the soldiers of Dayan lost their lives in vain?
The atmosphere was depressing, and Zhang Weiyue and the others also looked serious and did not dare to breathe.
At this moment, in Lin Feng's resolute expression, they could see that the other party's mind had been decided, and it was imperative to obtain the Heavenly Prince's treasure.
No matter how he persuaded him, the emperor was afraid that he would still insist on digging treasures, and even Zhang Weiyue himself felt that it took half a year to be angry, and if he chose to give up at a critical moment, even he felt that it was not worth it.
After pondering for a moment, his tone became firm, and he said: "The emperor has made up his mind to dig up the treasure of the Heavenly Prince, and Weichen will definitely accompany the emperor to persevere, and wait to pick out the auspicious day of the zodiac, and choose a day to open the treasure!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Zhang Yu, during the opening of the treasure, he led the light cavalry to closely monitor the movements around Shiyan City, and noticed that there were any accidents, or people who behaved strangely, regardless of the identity of the other party, all of them were captured. Feng Shihu, according to the list I listed, prepare quickly, and when I open the treasure of the Heavenly Prince, I will be of great use. ”
"Yes!" The three of them hugged their fists.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, you need to open the treasure of Tiangong and verify your inner conjecture!
Accompanied by Zhang Weiyue, Lin Feng personally led people to investigate the situation around Shiyan City in detail, and along the way, he continued to discuss with Zhang Weiyue various ways to open the treasure of the Heavenly Prince, as well as the traps that might appear in the treasure.
As a disciple of the Mo family, Zhang Weiyue knows more about the tricks, but the thousand-year-old treasure, how many traps there are in the treasure, Zhang Weiyue can only guess approximately, everything needs to be verified in the excavation.
However, he believed that everything would never deviate from its origin, and no matter how the Heavenly Treasure's mechanism changed, once the Heavenly Treasure's Treasure was opened, he would have a way to break it.
In the past few days, Xiao Linlang and others, under the protection of the ironclad cavalry, shuttled around Shiyan City, touring the mountains and rivers.
On the fifth day of arriving in Shiyan City, Lin Feng finally planned to open the Heavenly Treasure.
The weather was still sunny, and Lin Feng led Zhang Yu, Feng Shihu, and Zhang Weiyue to hold a ceremony to worship the sky on the top of the south gate of Shiyan City.
At this time, Zhang Yu led the cavalry under his command and personally blocked the gates of Shiyan City, and three thousand light horsemen were scattered within a radius of thirty miles from Shiyan City, forming an impermeable net of heaven and earth.
Xiao Linlang and the others also rushed back from all directions on time, for them, opening the treasure of the Heavenly Palace was the top priority for them to reach Shiyan City, not to mention, Lin Feng might personally enter the center of the treasure, at this time, no one had the heart to travel outside and play in the mountains and rivers, regardless of Lin Feng's safety.
According to Zhang Weiyue's research, the entrance to the Tiangong Treasure is located below the south gate of Shiyan City, so to open the Tiangong Treasure, you must take the lead in breaking the south gate of Shiyan City.
This city wall, which is composed entirely of huge stones, is not a simple matter to break through the south gate of Shiyan Castle.
However, Lin Feng had already considered in advance that it was very difficult to excavate the treasure of Tiangong, so he prepared five thousand ironclad cavalry in advance, and ordered the craftsmen gathered by Feng Shihu from Shiyan City to break through the wall of the south gate of Shiyan City and dig out the entrance of the treasure.
It took three days for hundreds of stonemasons to dig through the city wall to cover it up, dig out the foundation of the city wall, and the ironclad cavalry was responsible for transporting it to transfer all the rubble produced by the demolition of the south gate of Shiyan City.
It took another day to dig a huge pit under the foundation of the south gate, and after digging more than a zhang, a huge stone bar finally appeared under the black soil, preventing the craftsman from continuing to dig deeper.
After the soldier informed Zhang Weiyue, he entered the tunnel and investigated in detail, and gradually his face became bitter.
The entrance boulder is blocked, which is not much different from the description in the parchment scroll, Zhang Weiyue feels that if the boulder is chiseled, the entrance to the Tiangong treasure will definitely appear, but the situation inside must be the same as the description on the parchment scroll, and it may encounter very serious problems.
However, the current problem in front of Zhang Weiyue is that in the deep pit, the length and width of the stone strips are more than two zhang long, like an iron plate covering the ground.
If you want to continue digging, you have to break the boulder first, and to break the boulder, you have to spend more craftsmen working day and night, maybe two or three days, or more.
What's more, according to the description in the parchment scroll, when you open the boulder, you will see a narrow corridor of about 30 zhang, which is the only way to the periphery of the treasure of the Heavenly Palace, which is full of various mechanisms, which is called the Death Corridor.
Behind the corridor, there will be more traps, Zhang Weiyue is a little at a loss, he doesn't know how many traps there are, and he doesn't know how to transport all the treasures out once they are successfully excavated.
There was no choice but to report the news to Lin Feng, hoping that he would decide it himself.
Lin Feng learned the news and personally appeared at the south gate to investigate in detail, and the boulder blocking the entrance was indeed beyond imagination.
He didn't know how the craftsmen of Emperor Wu's era put the boulder on it thousands of years ago, and it was a miracle for him to complete this arduous siege.
However, craftsmen were able to perform miracles thousands of years ago, and now he is confident that they will break this miracle.
Without much hesitation, Lin Feng asked Zhang Weiyue to continue to invest in the craftsman, after all, he had already expected in advance that there would be an organ in the treasure center, how could he change his strategy because of the known difficulties.
What's more, the Great Yan army's conquest, wasn't that time in the case of known difficulties, and they marched forward bravely?
At this moment, whether it is Lin Feng, Zhang Yu, Feng Shihu, or Zhang Weiyue, and the craftsmen who work hard to chisel the boulder, there are joys and worries in their hearts.
The good thing is that maybe the next moment, the treasure of Tiangong will be chiseled, and the treasure buried under the ground for thousands of years will be witnessed with your own eyes, but the worry is that once the stone slab is chiseled, it is very likely that an accident will occur.
Even Lin Feng felt very nervous, after all, the treasure might be trampled underfoot, and in the blink of an eye, he might see the true face of the thousand-year-old treasure.
According to Lin Feng's order, dozens of stonemasons continued for two days and nights, and finally, in the early morning of the third day, the sound from the boulder was not as dull as before, and it seemed to have become extremely light.
Zhang Weiyue ordered the ironclad cavalry to erect a wooden frame on the boulder, and while taking a bucket of thick wooden stakes to hit it, he continued to order the craftsmen to excavate.
At noon, there was a loud noise in the deep pit, as if it had exploded, and the people of the whole city were shocked to go out of the city to watch.
Lin Feng, Zhang Weiyue, Zhang Yu, and Feng Shihu, who were at the scene, were also deeply shocked by the moment the treasure was opened.
However, then, before Lin Feng and the others stepped forward, the treasure exited, and a rancid smell came out, which quickly filled the air, making people extremely uncomfortable.
As a result, throughout the afternoon, no one appeared within 100 steps of the treasure entrance, and even the Yan army, which was defending on all sides, withdrew 200 steps away.
In the evening, there was still a rancid smell coming from the entrance, making it difficult to approach.
At this time, Lin Feng's mind was like a cat's claw, the treasure was close at hand, maybe if he entered the treasure, he would succeed in seizing it, but unfortunately, the rancid smell had not been eliminated, making it impossible for people to get close.
He feared that if he forcibly broke in, no matter who he was, he might never return.
The next day, the sky was clear, Lin Feng and the others appeared at the entrance of the treasure again, at this time, the rancid smell in the air gradually disappeared, as long as they were not close to the entrance, the smell was not as strong as before.
Lin Feng wore a mask, wrapped his face, and groped his way to the entrance of the treasure, only to find that in the entrance of the treasure, there were overall steps, one step at a time, leading to the inside, looking at the steps below, and said to Feng Shihu: "Act according to the plan!" ”
Knowing in advance that there would be traps in the treasure corridor, Lin Feng had already asked Feng Shihu to prepare many vicious dogs, cattle and sheep, and prepare to take the lead in sending these living creatures in after the treasure was opened.
One is to destroy the trap in the tunnel, and the other is to talk in detail about the situation inside, as long as there are vicious dogs who successfully escape in the future, it will prove that things are not as difficult as imagined.
It's a pity that things didn't go as smoothly as imagined, when dozens of vicious dogs and dozens of cattle and sheep all broke into the treasure, there was a miserable dog barking sound in the deep cave, and soon, more than ten hunting dogs ran out, and the cattle and sheep, vicious dogs, there was no trace.
Lin Feng looked at it and shook his head slightly, it seems that the treasure is far more serious than he imagined, not to mention how many traps there are, the turbid aura inside alone makes the vicious dog dizzy.
In desperation, Lin Feng instructed Feng Shihu to continue to guard with heavy troops, wait for the rotten qi in the treasure to evaporate, and then choose the right time to enter the city.
Since the treasure was opened, Zhang Yu has continuously caught many strangers near Shiyan City, and after a little interrogation, it can be that the source of the other party is basically all from the southern vassal states.
In this regard, Lin Feng secretly sighed that he was cautious and still attracted the attention of the surrounding vassal states, and it seemed that the Heavenly Prince's treasure was still too attractive to the vassal states.
However, the other party only sent spies to come, indicating that the other party was still taken by the majesty of Dayan and did not dare to come.
However, for several days in a row, he sent hounds into the treasure every day, basically eight times out of ten, and all of them were buried in it, and he wanted to continue to go deep into the treasure, but was blocked.
The only way to do this was to order Zhang Yu to send more light cavalry to closely monitor the movements in all directions to prevent accidents.
However, the current treasure entrance is open, and it is heavily guarded, no matter who wants to break into the treasure, it is as difficult as the sky.
After four or five days, vicious dogs finally entered the treasure one after another, and they could appear alive.
However, what worries everyone is that when two vicious dogs came out, they had white bones in their mouths, which made the relaxed atmosphere become serious again.
In addition to worrying about the existence of corpses in the treasure, more importantly, Lin Feng was worried that someone had broken into the treasure and buried it for some unknown reason.
If it was the former, he wasn't worried, but if it was the latter, the treasure could be stolen.
