Chapter 624: Megalithic Statue
Not long after Dongfang Xiuzhe had just collected the three "Dragon's Lair Keys", he was summoned by His Majesty.
The reply given by His Majesty did not disappoint Dongfang Xiuzhe, and he even canonized Dongfang Xiuzhe as the "Marquis of Ping" and gave him the Qingtian Marquis Mansion.
To be honest, Dongfang Xiuzhe doesn't look at his identity, but after becoming this "Ping'an Hou", he will not only enjoy a considerable amount of money every month, but also have certain rights, which will be of great help to him in the development of the herb industry in this empire, so he gladly accepted it.
In addition to these benefits, His Majesty also paid a large sum of money to Dongfang Xiuzhe, which was counted as a reward for the capture of Qingtianhou.
And these are not the places that impress Dongfang Xiuzhe, what really makes him happy is that His Majesty Xià let him go to the National Treasure House, and for the things inside, he can choose at will.
For an empire as powerful as the "Zhisheng Empire", the contents of the national treasure house will not disappoint.
At this time, Dongfang Xiuzhe, followed by an accompanying officer, was walking in the direction of Che Baoku, and if he could, he couldn't wait to fly over immediately.
"I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to decide this!"
After sending out the little demon god, His Majesty sat back on the dragon chair exhausted.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to work hard, if a strong person like this can be bound to the 'Zhisheng Empire', it is a matter of necessity. The Dark Guard suddenly appeared, his tone extremely solemn.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, if that young man wants to, it is entirely possible to subvert the entire empire, and it is definitely a wise move to befriend him, at least if one day the 'Zhisheng Empire' faces an unprecedented crisis, that young man will become our last savior. ”
Another dark guard also came out of the darkness.
Both of them agreed with His Majesty's decision just now, for a master like a young man, it is not something that can be reached by any person.
Since God has given them such an opportunity, if they don't know how to cherish it. There is a good chance that you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The most terrible thing is that if that teenager is struck by a hostile empire, then it will definitely be a terrible thing.
The night seems to get deeper.
Inside the palace, except for the patrolling guards, there was not a single palace maid to be seen.
"How far is it?" Dongfang Xiuzhe had not asked this question for the first time.
"It's almost there!" replied the escort politely, and this was not the first time he had answered like this.
Rounded a few bends and passed through several heavily guarded levels, a magnificent building. Suddenly appeared in front of you.
When he saw the three eye-catching words "National Treasure House", Dongfang Xiuzhe couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed over with a brisk step.
"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden land!"
Almost as Dongfang Xiuzhe appeared in front of the huge metal door, the heavy generals guarding here suddenly released their own breaths.
Even at the same moment, the archers on the high wall were ready to release their arrows.
In an instant, it was a quiet place. But it is full of a strong murderous aura.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Dongfang Xiuzhe makes another reckless move, the battle will be imminent.
"Live...... Stop!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense and could erupt at any moment, the accompanying officer ran over in a hurry.
The accompanying officer's face turned a little pale. Not because I was tired from running, but because I was scared.
He never expected that the accompanying teenager would be so weird, and the "whoosh" disappeared from his field of vision in an instant. When he came to his senses, the boy was surrounded by heavy troops.
When I came, my majesty was a thousand advices. He must not make any mistakes, and even warned him explicitly that if he could not satisfy the young man, let him come to him.
"Stop, here's His Majesty's edict!"
The escort officer held up the object in his hand and came to the scene as fast as he could.
To his great surprise, in such a tense atmosphere, the young man stared at the two huge stone statues in front of the National Treasure House with his eyes shining as if nothing happened!
These are the stone statues of two military generals, who are said to be the founding heroes of the "Zhisheng Empire", and have extraordinary strength, and even today, there are various legends of these two military generals.
"What's so beautiful about this stone statue, it's not that I'm attracted by the spirit of the stone statue, and it's no wonder that when I saw these two stone statues for the first time, I was also shocked for a while. ”
The escort sighed in his heart, and some memories of the past flashed through his mind.
At this moment, the main general in charge of guarding this place came over and asked with a stern expression, "What are your majesty's instructions?"
The accompanying officer hurriedly opened the edict in his hand and read it out in public.
When everyone present heard that "the things of the national treasure house can be at the disposal of the young man in front of them", they were all stunned.
"How can there be such an oracle?"
"What is the origin of this boy?"
"It can't be a false oracle, right?"
“……”
All of a sudden, there were all kinds of chattering around.
No matter how unbelieving the generals present are, the facts are the facts, and after verification and verification, there is no doubt about it.
It's just that in their hearts, they are more curious about the identity of the teenager in front of them.
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing, Your Majesty has canonized this Excellency as 'Marquis of Ping', I hope all the generals will not slack off!"
For fear that these generals would inadvertently talk about the young man, the accompanying officer hurriedly said another word.
Of course, before His Majesty was not read in the dynasty, the boy was still just a teenager.
He was also surprised that he couldn't accept the fact that the young man was canonized as "Marquis of Ping'an", but this was what His Majesty said personally, and he couldn't speculate about the holy will at will.
The generals looked at each other even more, and even couldn't help but think, did His Majesty have some kind of illness and convulsions, and this kind of major event of canonizing the Hou Ye can also be such a child's play?
Of course, they only dare to rot in their stomachs with this kind of thought, but they dare not confide it.
"These two stone statues are good!"
At this time, Dongfang Xiuzhe, who had been staring, finally spoke.
The accompanying officer hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "These two stone statues have been stored for a long time, and it is said that in the founding period of the 'Zhisheng Empire', in order to recognize the merits of these two generals, they were specially appointed to build by skilled craftsmen, which were previously placed at the entrance of the palace gate, and were later moved here. ”
"I love these two statues!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly smiled a little treacherously, and his expression was like a profiteer seeing a huge business opportunity.
"These two statues are indeed vivid, and I have always admired them!" said the escort officer with some flattery.
However, he would be mistaken, Dongfang Xiuzhe's words were not to praise how exquisite the craftsmanship of these two stone statues was.
If anything: his drunkard's intention is not to drink!
In the eyes of others, these are just two magnificent stone statues, but under his yin and yang eyes, there is nothing hidden in the stone statues.
I really didn't expect that this would have such a big discovery before it entered the treasure house!
At this time, Dongfang Xiuzhe was already extremely excited, if he wasn't afraid that these people would see something, he really wanted to yell at the sky a few times!
Of course, the refining value of this stone statue itself is also extremely high, containing several precious and rare ores.
"I like these two stone statues, so I accepted them unceremoniously!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe's sly smile resurfaced, and before everyone could react, he included the two stone statues in the ring.
In the blink of an eye, two magnificent stone statues were missing from the gate, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.
The escort didn't expect things to come to this point, and he wanted to say something, but he held back.
An official like him, who often accompanies him, can win the trust and appreciation of His Majesty, and naturally knows what to say on what occasions and when to shut up.
It was the time for the young man to be happy, and he didn't want to lose his interest.
The door of the National Treasure House is specially refined, and it is as heavy as a mountain, and in order to open it, it needs to open several opportunities.
"Okay, I want to go in and pick something by myself now, I don't want anyone to follow!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe said and walked up the steps, ready to push the door in.
Seeing that the young man stretched out his hand and planned to push open the metal door, many of the generals present couldn't help but smile, and even wanted to see how this "Ping'an Hou", who didn't even let go of the stone statue, opened the metal door.
They obviously wanted to see Dongfang Xiuzhe make a fool of himself, but the accompanying officer was the opposite.
His Majesty's special confession, he didn't dare to forget it.
"Your Excellency, please...... Wait a minute......"
The escort wanted to stop Dongfang Xiuzhe, because he knew that as long as the young man reached out and tried it, he would definitely make a fool of himself.
You must know that in this "national treasure house", there are countless treasures, how can you not take some protective measures.
With this metal door, if you can't open the mechanism correctly, you can't even think of opening it.
If you want to destroy it with your strength, don't even think about it, there is an extremely strong protective array inside this metal door.
"Boom!"
To the surprise of the accompanying officer and everyone present, the huge gate that was as heavy as a mountain suddenly opened under the gentle push of the young man.
"This ...... How is this possible?"
Many of the generals rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they were dazzled.
"Is there anything else?" Dongfang Xiuzhe stopped and looked at the petrified escort.
"I didn't ...... It's okay!" the escort remained.
Dongfang Xiuzhe walked into the giant gate, and with a "boom", the huge metal door closed again, and the sound it made deeply shook the hearts of everyone present.
"It can't be that the gate is malfunctioning, is it?"
Many generals ran up the steps to check in person, and even the accompanying officer approached with a curious expression.
But to everyone's shock, the giant gate was intact, and even with the full strength of several generals, it could not be opened in the slightest.
"It's really evil, just ...... The one just now, how did he get in?"
Next to the giant gate, one by one big eyes stared at each other. (To be continued......)
