Chapter 9: The Treasure of the Underground Palace

In the underground palace, after destroying the stone maid, another stone door blocked Wei Ziyang's way.

"Won't it be opened again?" Wei Ziyang's face was not good-looking, the black stone door at the entrance of the underground palace could impress him, if it was like this, he would have to pass through the mining hole from under again.

"Wow......"

The tip of the iron ore pickaxe hit the stone door hard, and suddenly there was a dull sound, it sounded that this stone slab was still very thick, not to mention the weight of two or three thousand catties, and it was not easy to move or break it under normal circumstances.

But this is an iron ore pickaxe from my world, it is not a problem to smash the rock, there is no such mysterious striped protection on it, just a moment, cracks appeared in the entire stone gate, which made Wei Ziyang, who was originally worried, ecstatic.

"Boom ......"

After another blow, the entire stone gate exploded.

"Pick up Granite*5"

But when Wei Ziyang looked inside, the whole person became bad again. This is a small underground palace, estimated to be fifty or sixty square meters, but there are five stone doors leading to an unknown place. Wei Ziyang has reason to believe that there must be an ambush set up in the midst of this, and perhaps there is only one door leading to the right place.

"It's all this routine. Wei Ziyang couldn't help but vomit on his mouth.

Looking closer, the five stone doors are exactly the same style, there are not even any differences on them, and there is no reminder of any place, which is clearly one of the choices for people to make, unless anyone knows the real entrance.

For some reason, at this time, Wei Ziyang's mind unconsciously appeared with the face of 'Boss Lao', thinking to himself whether this sponsor knew the following situation? He always felt that these people were not ordinary.

"Which one should I choose?" Wei Ziyang kept wandering in front of the five stone gates, hesitating for a moment.

"This underground palace is not like an ancient tomb, but rather like a place to hide treasures, what kind of treasures are hidden in it that need to be so exaggerated to defend? Moreover, it is also built from the underground palace of the Qin Dynasty. Wei Ziyang kept nagging.

When defeating the Stone Warriors earlier, the dropped bronze sword was automatically named 'Qin Dynasty Bronze Sword' by the game system, and Wei Ziyang judged that this underground palace came from the ancient Qin Dynasty, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, which is incredibly long.

"The mysterious underground palace ...... more than two thousand years ago," Wei Ziyang's eyes could not hide the heat. Even though he knew that if he chose the wrong five gates, he might encounter unknown dangers, but he still had to break through.

"But which one should you choose?" Wei Ziyang muttered to himself.

Glancing at the iron pickaxe in his hand, his brain had an idea, and he couldn't help grinning: "No matter how many doors it has, just dig it in, and any mechanism will be destroyed!"

This is obviously a brutal approach, but it is the safest way to counter violence with violence at the moment.

"Bang ......"

The iron ore pickaxe had already excavated the first stone gate and dug it directly into the ground, but as soon as it entered less than two meters, it encountered a dark pit more than ten meters deep, and many sharp wooden piles were buried under the pit. The stake is smeared with the blood of an unknown animal, black and red, and it is incorruptible and immortal after two thousand years!

The iron pickaxe struck hard, and the stone under the stake was torn apart.

"Pick up Granite*5"

"Pick up Poison Stake*5"

"Poisonous Wood Stake?" Wei Ziyang opened the right side of the game with curiosity, and after clicking on the image of 'Poisonous Wood Stake', its information was displayed: The stake smeared with the blood of the poisonous toad in the Western Regions will be poisoned to death if stabbed.

"If you fall, I'm afraid it's ugly to die...... This passage is a trap and should be wrong. Wei Ziyang muttered to himself, then turned back and backfilled the excavated mine with the original rock, erasing the traces of the past.

Repeating the trick, Wei Ziyang tested the second passage, and found that although there were no traps underground, the danger came from the top of his head, and when he tried to touch the mechanism, a large number of rocks fell from the top of his head, and he could feel the ground shaking underground.

The third passage is even more incredible, after touching the underground mechanism, the majestic water pours in from nowhere, and fills the entire passage in a moment.

When Wei Ziyang came to the fourth passage, even if he rummaged through the entire underground and even destroyed the structure of the entire cave, he did not encounter any abnormalities.

"This is it!"

Wei Ziyang walked up from the ground, and sure enough, he passed safely, walked along the long stone cave for fifty meters, and finally came to a huge underground palace.

The area of the underground palace is huge, and the height is nearly ten meters, although there is no decoration, it is difficult to suppress the majestic atmosphere. Not to mention 2,000 years ago, even now, it is impossible to build such a huge palace out of stone.

Behind the ordinary and even simple, there are tricks everywhere, and manpower cannot do it.

The underground palace is empty, only on it there is a large altar, on both sides there are two statues of alien beasts guarding, and above the altar there is a spirit tablet, which is carved with handwriting that Wei Ziyang can't understand, like a seal.

There are two bronze chests on the altar, I don't know what is stored, maybe it is the treasure of this underground palace, which is very exciting.

But Wei Ziyang didn't dare to approach, the two guards on both sides of the altar seemed to be alive, looking at Wei Ziyang with four eyes.

On the left is a jade unicorn statue, white as jade, but lifelike.

On the right is a unicorn, white and clean, resembling a group of Pegasi horses, except for a pointed unicorn on the top of its head.

"How could the Qin Dynasty have such carving?" Wei Ziyang felt a little incredible, these two guardian statues were lifelike, even the hair on their bodies was distinct, and their forms seemed to come to life at any time, which also made Wei Ziyang dare not approach easily.

Tightening the iron ore pickaxe in his hand, he approached cautiously, and even made more than ten defensive plans in his heart. However, until they reached the altar, the two guardian statues were motionless, as if they were really dead things, and they were not even as good as the stone maid at the door, which was unreasonable to Weizi Yang.

But it didn't trigger anything.

"Is this a spiritual position or a divine position?" Wei Ziyang had the heart to look at the altar, judging from the entire layout, it was more like the latter. However, Wei Ziyang also couldn't understand the culture of gods and ghosts in the Qin Dynasty, and he didn't recognize the seal inscriptions on the tablet, so he couldn't distinguish all this.

After glancing at the two guardian statues, he didn't notice the danger, so he cautiously reached out to open the box.

Unexpectedly, he did not encounter any obstacles, a stack of rather thick animal skin books were quietly placed inside, and the big seal on the cover was not readable at all, even the book of heaven was indifferent in front of him. I opened it casually and looked at it twice, but I had to hate it when I used it...... But I don't know what kind of animal leather it is, and the leather and writing have been preserved very well for thousands of years.

"At least two thousand years ago antiques, or ancient texts, the archaeological value should be very high, how can it be regarded as a national treasure-level thing, in short, it is a good thing. Wei Ziyang didn't bother too much, and carefully collected the game backpack, this thing can't be sold for a sky-high price.

Then Wei Ziyang set his eyes on the second box, but before opening it, he didn't forget to glance at the two guardian statues with angry eyes.

"Click......"

The bronze box opened in response, but Wei Ziyang was squinted by a dazzling burst of colored light, and his vigilant instinct made him take two steps back.

Is it so eye-catching, the colored bulb of the Qin Dynasty......

The Qin Dynasty will definitely not have a light bulb, that is too nonsense, not to mention that after this bronze box is opened, the entire underground palace is reflected in colorful colors, which is very dazzling and gorgeous, even contemporary light bulbs cannot do this effect.

"Buzz ......"

The two guardian statues illuminated by the colorful light trembled as if they were about to awaken, and the colored light seemed to give them the ability to move, as if they had been charged......

Wei Ziyang even saw them open their eyes at the same time, their eyes were very wild and terrifying! But their bodies were still trembling, as if they were getting rid of some kind of confinement.

The momentum of the two guardian beasts alone is about to scare Wei Ziyang's guts, once they really move, it may be a fatal consequence! He said that the core position of the underground palace is not guarded, it turns out that the big move is here!

But Wei Ziyang was a little unwilling to leave like this, he understood that the thing that released the colorful light in this bronze box was the treasure of the entire underground palace, otherwise there would not be such a big reaction after opening it, and he was about to succeed, and he was really unwilling to give up.

Wei Ziyang didn't think too much about it, stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the bronze box and wanted to cover it and take it away, but when he pressed it hard, there seemed to be a force inside to prevent Wei Ziyang from doing this, and no matter how hard he tried, the bronze box couldn't move at all.

A quick glance inside, it turned out to be a stone!

But this stone is green, there are six or seven colors, and the atmosphere is too urgent, and Wei Ziyang doesn't have time to count them.

The bronze box couldn't be covered, Wei Ziyang gritted his teeth and wanted to take the entire bronze box away, but the box didn't move at all, as if it was integrated with the altar, and it seemed to have a thousand catties of weight.

Huge Sinking!

Unexpectedly, Wei Ziyang also flashed his waist.

"What kind of stone is this!" Wei Ziyang was shocked, but the movements of the two guardian beasts next to him became more and more obvious, and they were all angry at him, murderous, without any countermeasures, Wei Ziyang directly reached out to dig out the colorful stone inside.

"Pick Up Rainbow Stones*1"

At the same time, the two guardian beasts quickly regained their composure, motionless as if they were statues, as if everything was an illusion just now.

“...... What's going on?"

The ups and downs made Wei Ziyang a little unable to react, and it took a long time to dare to confirm that the crisis had passed. He only roughly knew that all this was probably related to the Colorful Stone, and only by opening the Colorful Stone could the two Guardian Beasts be awakened.

"These two guardian statues, are they still living creatures?" Wei Ziyang walked around them, looking as if they were lifelike statues. But just now their movements don't look like artificial puppets, but more like living beings.

However, this is not a place for research after all, Wei Ziyang reached out and touched it, and directly put the jade unicorn into the game backpack first, and then put away the unicorn with the same trick.

Not only that, but even the bronze utensils used for sacrifice on the altar, and even the tablet on it, were all packed and taken away by Wei Ziyang. The words on the tablet are an important clue to decipher the origin of the underground palace, how could Wei Ziyang let it go.
