Chapter 26: Treasure or Trap

In the long passage, streams of cold and damp air kept coming from all directions. The moisture in the air was like dewdrops, constantly rushing towards the old man and Zuo Qingcang's body.

"It's so cold in here." The old man shuddered for a moment and said, "This passage can't lead to the bottom of the sea, right?" ā€

"Just think about the abyss on the mural, if those craftsmen are not exaggerating, it means that the coffin of the mirage is buried very deep, even if it goes deep into the bottom of the sea. However, it should not be too deep, because if it is really thrown to the bottom of the sea, the tomb itself will not be meaningful. ā€

As the two of them spoke, they moved forward, and as the passage continued to wind downward, the moisture and cold in the air became more and more severe. The old man already had to tremble and walk, but because Zuo Qingcang had already penetrated the innate qi of his torso and limbs, his muscles were alienated, and he released streams of heat anytime and anywhere, so that his body temperature did not decrease.

After more than ten minutes, the two walked out of the passage, and in front of them was a huge stone gate that blocked their path.

Zuo Qingcang asked, "Is there a reaction of spiritual power?" ā€

The old man observed it carefully and said, "No, except for the spiritual power that keeps releasing from your body, I haven't seen anything else. He was talking about the heat radiation that was constantly released from the muscles and organs in Zuo Qingcang's body.

Then the two of them carefully checked it again, listening, knocking, and slapping, and finally Zuo Qingcang shook his head: "It seems that there is no mechanism?" ā€

"Then you push and push?" The old man built yƬ road.

"Hmm. You stand back. Zuo Qingcang walked to the door and pressed his palms on the stone door, only to see that he was slightly moving, but the stone door did not move at all. The next moment, Zuo Qingcang snorted coldly, and the innate anger up and down his body shook violently.

The furious power had already poured out of his muscles, and the force brought by the contraction and strength of ordinary people's muscles made the entire stone gate suffocate, and then began to move slightly.

The weight of this stone gate is at least several tons, but Zuo Qingcang, who has practiced the true martial arts, has greatly increased his durability and explosive power, but he still pushed the door open little by little, and it would be impossible to do this if he was Liu Zhicheng or Zuo Qingcang before.

With a bang, as the door was completely pushed open, a stone hall appeared in front of the two of them, the hall was about three hundred square meters, and two pillars full of dragon-shaped reliefs stood at both ends of the hall.

When the door opened, rows of fireballs lit up on the walls, illuminating the entire hall as if it were day. Under the illumination of these flames, everything on the floor of the hall caught the eyes of the two of them.

It was a pile of gold, silver, jade, pearls and gemstones that looked like small mountain bags, and they looked brilliant and dazzling. This is a huge treasure that is enough to subvert an effect, and anyone who sees it will probably can't help but gasp.

But Zuo Qingcang's face didn't change, but at the moment when the flames burned, he directly pulled the old man back.

"This burial chamber seems to be sealed," he said. ā€

Only then did the old man take his eyes off the pile of financial reports, and let out a breath and said, "Well, it should be that the earthquake did not affect this tomb, and the past tomb robbers did not break through here, so this tomb is still sealed." ā€

Then he looked at the burning torches in the tomb and said, "It should be some kind of Dao material that can spontaneously combust, we opened the tomb, and after the air flowed in, he burned." ā€

Zuo Qingcang also thought so, he knew that many chemicals like white phosphorus would spontaneously combust after encountering a large amount of oxygen pouring into a long-sealed space. This method is obviously used here to light the lamp and deter tomb robbers who do not understand this.

The old man continued, "This sealed burial chamber has been too long, let's wait outside before we go in." ā€

Both of them understand this truth, in the stone room that has been sealed for a long time, because of the lack of oxygen and the toxic chemical gases produced by long-term sealing, they cannot go in, and they must wait for a period of time before they can enter when the air inside is clean.

So the two simply retreated more than 200 meters and waited in the passage.

While waiting, Zuo Qingcang glanced at the old man and said, "Are you still thinking about those treasures?" ā€

"Hehe, no way, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen so many valuable things, if I can take them out, we don't have to worry about it in our lives."

Seeing Zuo Qingcang's brows furrowed, the old man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid, these gold and silver treasures are not placed in the burial room, but here, it is clear that there is a problem, how can I touch it."

Besides, the two of us, no amount of treasure can be brought out. ā€

Zuo Qingcang nodded, and said coldly: "It's good that you know, this kind of treasure in the tomb is very likely to be connected to the mechanism, and even the entire treasure is coated with toxins, if you don't touch it, let's not touch it." ā€

Next, the two of them simply waited in the passage for a day and a night, and Zuo Qingcang also ate a dwarf spirit's corpse supplement, and then stood up and walked towards the hall.

It was still a scene full of gold and silver, and people's eyes were a little dazzled. But this time, the two of them didn't look at each other, and walked directly to another passage in the hall, and then walked down.

Half an hour later, another stone gate stood in front of the two of them.

Like the previous stone gate, after Zuo Qingcang pushed the door open, the flames were blazing, and the huge stone hall was different, this time it was not a huge amount of gold and silver treasures placed on the ground, but rows of bookshelves.

"Beipeng Hanging Sky Style!"

"Unai Joy Chapter!"

"Nantian Three Swords!"

"Seven Gods Cong Xuanyuan Record!"

"Illustration of the Cluster of Lives!"

The old man looked at the books on the shelves, and several names burst out in succession, his eyes widened, all of which were fanatical and incredible. It wasn't until he was pulled into the passage by Zuo Qingcang and retreated a few dozen meters that he gradually stabilized.

He said with some ecstasy: "Those bookshelves, those bookshelves, are all the martial arts and Taoism of the Southern Holy Gate. It is said that the Mirage Sect was the master of the Southern Holy Gate at that time, but they didn't expect that they would put all the classics of the Southern Holy Gate here! It must have recorded the various stages of cultivating martial arts and Taoism, and possibly the cultivation methods of all the life clusters at that time! ā€

Different from the old man's ecstasy, Zuo Qingcang's brows furrowed, and he thought in his heart: "First wealth, then knowledge and power, what will be next?" ā€

The old man on the other side, although he kept telling himself in his heart that there must be problems and traps, but when he thought of the knowledge in the book, he trembled, couldn't help himself, and couldn't wait to rush up and turn the book immediately.
