Chapter Ninety-One: The Treasure Trove
Yao Fengxiong placed the house master token in a recess in one wall, and with the slight sound of gears, a black keyhole was revealed, just below the recess.
The copper-colored key was slowly inserted into the keyhole, as if some inscription formation had been activated, strange patterns circulated on the wall, a thin light curtain swept over the two of them, and after a while, the gears and chains clicked, and the heavy iron door was slowly pushed open.
"That was the inscription formation just now, what did it do?" Yao Chu asked suspiciously.
Compared to the ordinary inscription array he had seen before, the inscription array in front of him seemed to be much more advanced, and Yao Chu didn't even understand it at all.
"This treasure house can be moved, the inscription array in this treasure house has existed in the treasure house since a long time ago, and with the relocation of the treasure house, it has always existed in the treasure house, and it should have something to do with the Yao family that was prosperous in the past. ”
"As for the effect, I don't know!"
"No... Don't know?" Yao Chu was stunned, he didn't know what the effect of his own inscription formation was?
"Mainly, most of the family's books are missing. But although I don't know the effect, my Yao family's treasure house has never been stolen!" Yao Fengxiong replied thoughtfully, his face a little unnatural when he mentioned the loss of the classics.
"Is it? the former Yao family..."Yao Chu looked at it again, but still didn't see anything famous, and finally turned his gaze away.
The door to the treasure house opened, but it didn't look like a sealed space, but there was a cold wind blowing, and there was aura flowing in the darkness, and gradually the light like an incandescent lamp flickered overhead, and finally it calmed down, and the whole space was as bright as day.
Yao Chu looked up, and several stones like spirit stones were inlaid in the space above his head, emitting dazzling light.
"It's kind of similar to electric light. He commented.
But what is so beautiful about the lamp, Yao Chu quickly lost interest and looked at other things.
There is a lot of space in the treasure house, but there are a few things inside.
Scattered shelves, plus some boxes and the like, also take up only a small part of the space.
Yao Chu complained: "This is too cold, right?"
"Ahem, it is said that the family has encountered a lot of crises in the past, and basically the huge treasury has been emptied, and these things are being filled in later. Yao Fengxiong coughed twice and argued, "Actually, there are still a lot of good things in it." ”
"Okay, I believe..."Yao Chu waved his hand perfunctorily.
The closest to the door are rows of shelves, on which plates hold elixirs, some are bright red like fire, with a strong smell of fire, some are so cold that they even freeze the plates into ice, and some are shining with golden light, almost brightening Yaochu's eyes.
All kinds of elixirs were placed on the shelves and trays, with little protection.
"Is this elixir just preserved?" Yao Chu was dumbfounded.
It is important to know that the preservation of elixir generally requires a strictly sealed space, and it is also necessary to ensure that the aura does not leak. The longer you store it, the more you have to be careful about the passage of power. But the elixir here is placed here for no reason?
Yao Fengxiong suddenly showed a playful look: "You're going to take a closer look." ”
Yao Chu was stunned for a moment, and muttered closer: "What about looking closely? Can you still see the flowers?"
Suddenly, Yao Chu seemed to see something terrible, and directly put his face on the shelf.
"It's... Isn't this glass?"
Yao Chu got closer and took a closer look, there was a fixed glass case in each grid on the shelf, locking the elixir inside, even if he got closer, he didn't feel any aura overflowing at all.
"Is there such a thing as glass here, and it can also keep out the aura?"
Yao Fengxiong raised his eyebrows and introduced to Yao Chu: "Hmph, this is the Sealed Spirit Glass! It is said that it has also been handed down from the past, and it is a good material for placing elixir!"
"The previous owner of the family was not willing to sell this thing even if everything else was sold. ”
"Sell, what kind of hard life did the Yao family live in the past?" Yao Chu turned his attention to the strange place again.
Yao Fengxiong was stunned for a moment, and wanted to slap himself twice, why do you have to mention this!
"Let's see if there's anything you want, take it and leave!" Yao Fengxiong pouted, not wanting to talk about it.
Yao Chu knocked on the same glass as the glass, and the crisp sound echoed: "How can this be opened?"
"Of course you have to use this. Yao Fengxiong threw away the token of the head of the family in his hand.
Walking to the glass cabinet where the elixir was stored, the token in Yao Fengxiong's hand seemed to emit an undetectable glimmer, and the glass cabinet was like an ice cube that met the scorching sun, quickly dissolving, revealing the elixir stored inside.
The aura was immediately exposed to the air, and the aura that had not been revealed instantly exploded, filling the entire space.
"Hurry up and put it away, the flow of aura will affect the effect of the medicine. Yao Fengxiong pointed to the elixir and said.
Yao Chu took a fiery red elixir, which should be of fire attribute, with leaves like lotus leaves underneath, and fiery red stamens at the top.
Without hesitation, he just nibbled on it with his mouth, and the juice flowed down his mouth, without any intention of saving.
The corners of Yao Fengxiong's mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't care about eating it raw, and he didn't care about eating it at all.
But I don't seem to have a chance to teach him. Yao Fengxiong sighed.
"Dad, I still want this!" Yao Chu saw that Yao Fengxiong did not move, and pointed to another elixir and urged.
Although the cold doesn't have a big impact on him, who would want to be in a state like a cold all the time?
Yao Chusheng gnawed off a flame-attribute elixir, and his spirit suddenly became refreshed, just like soaking in a hot spring in winter, and the pores of his whole body were stretched. The heavy mind has also cleared up, and in short, the mental state is refreshed. The sequelae of the chill have also been temporarily alleviated.
Yao Fengxiong took out the elixir that Yao Chu needed again, looked at Yao Chu's eating appearance, and said helplessly: "What else do you need?"
"Woo... It should be gone, right?" Yao Chu gnawed in his mouth, held it in his hand, turned around and didn't see the fire attribute elixir again, shook his head and left.
Other elixirs have almost no effect on Yao Chu, mainly because the elixirs that can improve cultivation have no chance to be put into the treasure house, and they have long been consumed by Yao Fengxiong, after all, the entire Yao family basically relies on him to support them.
Next to the shelf where the elixir was stored, a large pile of spirit stones was placed on the ground, and it was initially estimated that there were tens of thousands of spirit stones.
The spirit stone of the white flower flower was placed in front of Yao Chu's eyes, which was a little dazzling.
"This is some spirit stones that the Yao family has in reserve, almost about 80,000 spirit stones. One tenth of them are medium-grade spirit stones, and the rest are low-level spirit stones. Yao Fengxiong explained to Yao Chu.
"Don't you have a high-grade spirit stone?" asked Yao Chu.
"How could there be a high-grade spirit stone in such a remote place as Maple Leaf City?" Yao Fengxiong shook his head.
"That's right. ”
Yao Chu squinted, he remembered the large handful of high-grade spirit stones in Xiao Xi's hand.
Xiaoxi, who the hell is it? The high-grade spirit stone is like an ordinary spirit stone in his hand.
Yao Chu passed through the mountain of spirit stones, for him, these spirit stones could not enter his eyes, and the value of the snout of a spirit swordfish in his ring was far more than that.
After the pile of spirit stones, there are rows of shelves, neatly displayed in a corner against the wall.
This time, the shelves are not stored in elixirs, but books, and of course there is no need to seal the spirit glass to store them.
Yao Chu walked to the shelf, picked up a copy casually, and looked at it.
"Qingfeng Jue", this is a book of exercises.
Turned two pages casually, this is a simple exercise, which can make ordinary people become martial artists, but the level is quite low, and compared with Yao Chu's exercises, I don't know how many times.
He put it back and picked up the book on the other shelf.
"Whirlwind Legs", this time it is a martial arts.
After turning the same two pages, Yao Chu put it back.
These things are naturally not as good as Yao Chu's own exercises and martial arts.
"Not everyone in the Yao family can get a little martial art from the inheritance stone, and those who can't get the inheritance martial arts can only practice these exercises and martial arts. This is the martial arts specially prepared for those people. Yao Fengxiong also picked up a book of martial arts and flipped through it.
"It seems that there are no exercises in the inheritance stone?" Yao Chu remembered that in the space of the inheritance stone, there was indeed no trace of the exercises.
Yao Fengxiong frowned and said: "It is said that the previous inheritance stone could obtain the exercises, but I don't know when the exercises were broken, and they never appeared again. ”
"And that kind of exercise is similar to martial arts, it can't be taught in words, even if you read it word by word, there is no way to learn it. ”
"In other words, the inheritance stone is almost the lifeblood of the Yao family!"
Yao Chu threw down the martial arts in his hand and was about to turn around and leave, after all, he still didn't look down on the martial arts here.
But at the moment when he turned around, in the dark corner at the bottom of the bookshelf, something seemed to attract Yao Chu's eyes.
Yao Chu squatted down and found a tattered book in the bottom lattice of the bookshelf. Its surface is covered with obvious traces of incineration, and the original cover text is not visible at all.
When I opened the pages, most of them seemed to have been burned by fire, and only a few strange patterns remained, and they were also tattered, and even a few pages fell from them when they were turned slightly.
"Eh, this book..."Yao Fengxiong suddenly seemed to remember something.
"What's wrong with this book?" Yao Chu asked curiously.
Yao Fengxiong thought about it and replied: "My grandfather once mentioned that there was a fire in the Yao family, and many classics and martial arts were burned, and it seems that a strange book was rescued from it, and there were many strange patterns painted on it, but because of the serious burning, I don't know what it means." ”
"So the burned book has been left in the corner. ”
"Fire, didn't you say the treasure house is safe?" Yao Chu was stunned for a moment and asked.
Yao Fengxiong's face darkened: "What I said was that it was never stolen, but I didn't say it was safe!"
"Did you suffer any other disasters besides fires?"
“......”
Yao Chu suddenly had a toothache: "So you mean that it was not stolen, but suffered other natural disasters?"
