Netherworld Chapter 121: The Emperor's Treasury (2)
The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury? Didn't Dong Balang say it would take some time to open it?
When an outsider came to the Emperor's Vein, the old Taoist priest said: If you can send ten stone beasts, then it is nothing to help the Emperor's Vein open the treasure house.
I said "oh" and then looked in the direction of the golden light column: Should we go?
No. The old Taoist priest sat down on the stone again.
I watched the golden light slowly dissipate, and sat down with some regret. The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is an important place where the treasures of the entire Qinling Emperor Vein for thousands of years are gathered. It's a pity that I can't see it even though it's right in front of me.
However, Dongbalang agreed to let us choose three things from it, so we will have a chance to see them in the future.
The old Taoist has now made up his mind to find the outsider, and he will not go anywhere until he achieves his goal.
Sometimes I wonder how a person can be so persistent. He works so hard to do something that has nothing to do with him.
If it were me, with a gold brick in hand, I would have rushed across the country long ago. As for spending money... whoever wants to spend money can do so.
The golden light was bright, and it seemed that the treasure house was opened. The people of the imperial veins all rushed to where they were going. There was chaos all along the way, and countless animals were frightened and scattered.
I fiddled with Jiao Ye out of boredom, pinching its tail to use it as a wind and fire wheel. Jiao Ye's golden snake body was hard, not as soft as before. Once I applied force, there was a faint rebound force.
It was already dark, but a faint golden light was visible on Mr. Jiao's body. It was not very bright, but it had a unique kind of majesty.
The old Taoist said that the golden bone fragments had changed Jiaoye's constitution, making his innate foundation more solid. The essence of the winged-eared snake had promoted his growth, making the change more thorough.
Perhaps, this will stimulate Master Jiao and make his transformation into a dragon increase ten times faster.
When I was free, I asked the Taoist priest, after Jiao Ye turned into a Jiao, could he turn into a dragon? Or, as the legend goes, could he turn into a human?
The old Taoist was not sure, he just said that if there was a monster in the world that could transform into a dragon, Jiao Ye would undoubtedly be the most reliable one. As for transforming into a human, that required too many things, and this world no longer had the possibility of monsters transforming into humans. Unless, Jiao Ye got a rare treasure, such as a fairy fruit.
But the fairy fruit is not omnipotent, it can only increase a certain probability. It is like a person with little strength cannot push a car, but if another person helps, it can be pushed. But if the car is stuck in the mud, then one person's help will only make the car shake.
The current world makes practicing cultivation like being stuck in a quagmire, otherwise Wei Qingcang, who had eaten the immortal fruit, would have become an immortal long ago.
Speaking of which, it's a pity for Wei Qingcang. He died just after resurrecting. He is definitely a very tragic supporting role. If you ask me, such a person must make up for two days of lunch money.
It was a pity that the immortal fruit revived a person but immediately became history. If I had known earlier, I would have let Master Jiao eat it, at least I could have turned into a dragon faster.
Just as I was daydreaming, the old Taoist suddenly stood up from the stone. His face was calm, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sensing something.
I climbed up from the rock and stuffed Jiao Ye into my pocket. Just as I was about to ask, he pulled my sleeve and walked to the right.
What's wrong? I asked as we walked.
He left that area, the old Taoist priest replied.
After saying this, the old Taoist suddenly took a step forward.
The scene in front of me changed rapidly, and when it stopped again, the front was unfamiliar.
At this time, I saw the old Taoist's expression change slightly. He didn't move forward, but stopped there.
What's wrong? I asked.
He is gone.
Gone? What does that mean?
He suddenly disappeared here, and he used a secret method to conceal his aura, the old Taoist said.
Can't you find it too? As soon as I asked this question, I realized that I was asking a foolish question, so I quickly added: Then he is amazing.
It is indeed amazing. The old Taoist nodded, then turned around and took another step forward.
This time, we returned to the big rock.
Why are you back again...
Since we can't find anyone, there's no point in staying there, the old Taoist said calmly.
I was speechless. I waited for such a long time but didn't see anyone. And the old Taoist was too decisive. He chased when he said he would chase and retreated when he said he would retreat.
So what to do now?
Wait. The old Taoist priest replied.
Well... I am a little helpless, but I can only listen to him. If there is no Lao Dao, I feel like a headless fly here. Sometimes I wonder if I have Lao Dao dependence syndrome.
Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long before someone came to find us.
Dongbalang sent a few people to invite us. They didn’t specify what they were going to do, but looking at the direction they were heading, it was exactly the place where the golden light had appeared before.
I couldn't help but feel a little excited. Could it be that we were going to the legendary treasury of the Emperor of Heaven?
This is definitely a good place, with countless treasures inside, and you can enjoy endless benefits by taking any one of them. Of course, for an ordinary young man like me, what I want most is to take Aladdin's magic lamp, polish it when I have nothing to do, and live a healthy and long life.
However, Aladdin is a Western myth. There may be a lamp in the treasure house, but it is probably unlikely to grind something out of the lamp.
Judging from the bloody level of Chinese mythology, the most reliable one is to grind oneself into the mouth of a lamp...
Not long after we started walking, we saw more people ahead of us, wearing all kinds of clothes and with all kinds of faces, and I even saw a few black people.
It is said that there are black-like ethnic groups in China, but they are too black to be African-like. This kid must have immigrated here secretly.
Obviously, those who can stay here are all members of the Emperor's lineage. They are alert and have set up a tight blockade around them. I am more and more certain that this is definitely a good place related to the Emperor of Heaven. Even if it is not a treasure house, it is at least related to his resurrection.
Under the guidance of those people, the old Taoist and I passed through the crowd and entered a strange place.
Why is it strange? Because I was originally in the forest, but when I took a step forward, I entered another space. When I looked back, there was a mountain of rocks behind me.
I reached out and touched it, and it felt very real, not like an illusion.
In the distance, Dong Balang and his men came over, and they laughed from a distance: The master and the little brother came so quickly.
We met each other, and the old Taoist said calmly: The Heavenly Emperor's treasure house is indeed extraordinary, and a strange space .
Hahaha, in Buddhism, a grain of sand is a world, which is much more powerful than ours. Dong Barang said this, but from his laughter, it can be seen that Dimai is very proud of this, even showing off.
But from what they said, this space seems to be a place similar to the Buddha world in the palm of your hand, which is incredible.
In fact, the Taoist's hidden treasure also belongs to this category, but it is not so big.
This space is full of flowers and plants, but the most numerous are various rocks.
The rocks are of different colors and are arranged in an orderly manner, with many ancient artifacts placed on them.
This is the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury... I smacked my lips. Apart from the strange space, there is nothing special about it. I thought there would be all kinds of shining lights in the treasury, and all kinds of magical instruments, immortal instruments, and machines running around.
That's right, this is the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house. It has not been opened for two thousand years, and now it can finally see the light of day. Dong Balang seemed a little excited, and spitted when he spoke.
The old Taoist didn't say anything, just looked at him. Dong Balang noticed it and immediately laughed , saying: We haven't touched these things yet, because we have to wait for the master to come and witness. After we take what we need, the master can choose whatever he wants.
I glanced around and saw that there weren't too many people in the treasure house. In addition to our group, there were a dozen or so people wandering around. From time to time, they would lie on a rock to observe carefully, probably picking things.
At this time, Dong Balang took a step forward and lowered his voice and said: Before the treasure house was opened, they were still arguing over the three things, thinking that I promised too much. A person should keep his word, but my words alone are too weak. However, the man who sent the stone beast said before helping us open the treasure house that we must do what we promised to the master. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome now.
I was a little surprised when I heard Dong Balang's words. I was not surprised that someone in the Emperor's Bloodline wanted to go back on his word, but I was surprised why he told us this, and why the man who sent the stone beast wanted to help me talk to the old Taoist?
Seeing that the old Taoist didn't say anything, Dong Balang smiled and said nothing more. In the distance, someone shouted his name, and a group of people gathered around a big rock as if they were discussing something.
Dong Balang bowed and asked me and the Taoist priest to wait here, then he took everyone there.
After he left, I asked the Taoist priest about his question.
The old Taoist seemed to have thought about it, and said without hesitation: The power of the Emperor's veins is complicated. If the Emperor of Heaven can be resurrected, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Emperor's veins. He said this to put down others and win us over, so as to occupy a high position in the future.
But what effect would it have if we were to win over the two of us? I really don't think that the Five Elements and Eight Ropes, each with only one person left, can be of much help to the Qinling Emperor's Bloodline, which has a large number of people.
The secret text said that the Emperor of Heaven had fought against a great disaster together with the Five Classics and Eight Ropes two thousand years ago. The old Taoist said: So if the Emperor of Heaven were to be resurrected, he might consider this...
But the Emperor of Heaven was not...
The old Taoist suddenly glared at me, and I was startled and quickly shut up. Then I remembered that I was now in the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. If the Emperor knew that the Emperor of Heaven disappeared and was forced by the Eight Ropes, then the old Taoist and I...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and dared not speak anymore.
Dong Balang and his friends were discussing enthusiastically, walking back and forth between several large rocks. It seemed that they were having trouble making a decision.
Come to think of it, there are countless rare treasures in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury. Although I can't the strangeness of the things, both the old Taoist and these people in the Emperor's veins can definitely see it.
According to the previous agreement, they can only take two items first, and the remaining three items can be chosen by me and the Taoist priest.
Although taking two items first is a great deal as you can take the best, when there are too many good things, this becomes a source of conflict.
The group of people in the distance had already started a fierce quarrel. Even though I was a few dozen meters away, I could see spit flying everywhere. Rainbows appeared everywhere along with the saliva. I was shocked to see this. Was this the Teletubbies Sisters Scene of Rainbow Babies?
The old Taoist waited without any impatience, and did not even look at the stones. Such patience is truly admirable.
After a long time, the group finally stopped arguing. I couldn't help but sigh as I watched the rainbow baby finish filming. They are truly practitioners. Even their spit can travel farther than ordinary people. If they were to gather together and spray, they could water the flowers. If the flowers couldn't swim, they would definitely drown.
Soon, those people took things from the two rocks, and someone brought boxes to store them in. It seemed that they had made preparations beforehand.
Then, Dong Balang came over and said to us: Master and little brother, you can start choosing.
Although he spoke in a relaxed tone, there was still a hint of displeasure between his brows. It seemed that he had not gained any advantage in the argument just now.
The old Taoist didn't care about that. He started walking among the rocks. I followed him closely, feeling extremely excited because these were all rare treasures that had been passed down for thousands of years. With the old Taoist's eyes, it would be easy to take away the three treasures from here.
