Chapter 168: Underground palace ruins, treasures revealed!

The people around him were a little frightened and cautiously stepped forward to check.

Jiang Yang also stepped forward to check, and then said: "He should be dead."

After casting several spirit-binding spells in succession, Jiang Yang felt that it was a bit exhausting.

These monsters seem to have been soaked in Yin water for many years, causing their entire bodies to be filled with these liquids and their bodies to be swollen and deformed.

"What are these things!?" Lin Yushu's face was obviously very ugly.

Not only were several of his subordinates killed, but he was also obviously injured on his arm.

"Maybe it's the craftsmen who were trapped and died inside, or maybe it's some people who tried to enter this underground palace before us and were eventually submerged in the yin water." Wen Yu took a deep breath and guessed.

These corpses have been soaked in yin water for so long that their original appearance cannot be distinguished at all, and we can only make guesses.

"That means there may be a mechanism in this section?" Jiang Yang asked.

It is most likely a mechanism that will cause the door to close and the water to pour in.

"It's very possible." Wen Yu immediately said to Chen Zimou behind him, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry."

Although Chen Zimou's martial arts skills were not as good as others, he had been at the back of the team just now, so there was no danger.

He nodded at this time: "Chen will go in and take a look first."

He took the torch and carefully walked into the stone door. After a while, he came out.

"There is another door inside." Chen Zimou said, "It seems that it needs to be opened through a mechanism."

"Are you sure?" Wen Yu asked.

"I'll give it a try, please exit first."

Just after opening the first door, several people died. Naturally, no one dared to be careless and immediately exited the underground.

About a quarter of an hour later, I suddenly heard a subtle mechanical sound coming from below, and then I saw Chen Zimou walking quickly from below: "You can go down now."

The group of people then continued to descend into the underground palace and passed through the stone gate. Inside was a long corridor, which was paved up and down with long green stones. It was dark and deep. Even if they held a torch, the light could not be seen.

As if swallowed by the surrounding darkness.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there are densely carved words. The words seem to record the life story of Yang Jing, the owner of this ancient city, from being unknown to his hairline, to condensing energy and defeating thousands of armies with his sword.

In the end, he built Wuming City, recruited talents, and dominated the troubled times. His life's deeds can be described as legendary.

Walking all the way to the end, I saw another stone door. The stone door had been moved to one side. It was obvious that Chen Zimou could not move such a huge door alone, but moved it by himself after cracking the mechanism.

He saw two stone beasts on each side of the wall, with some star-like patterns carved around them. One of these stone beasts was rotated to a horizontal angle of 45 degrees, and the other was rotated upside down.

"Mr. Chen is indeed a master in this field." Seeing the stone door open, Wen Yu was delighted.

Lin Yushu looked at these mechanisms curiously: "Is there any ingenuity here?"

"Brother Lin doesn't know, this thing is called the Qiankun Star Dou Lock." Wen Yu explained, "You have to turn the two beast heads to specific star positions to unlock the lock. Fortunately, Mr. Chen has some knowledge about the Qiankun Stars, otherwise it would be impossible.

I can’t find the right direction to open the lock.”

Jiang Yang secretly sighed in his heart, Wen Yu had definitely found the right person to find this person. From the layout of the seven stars surrounding the moon outside, to the star locks like this, if he had to do these things by himself, he would probably be numb.

He continued to follow the people inside. This underground palace might be more appropriately called an underground military camp. The scene inside was really shocking.

Skeletons wearing armor were scattered everywhere, as were swords, flags and various weapons.

And seeing such a scene is also a bit strange.

Wen Yu wondered: "These should be soldiers from Wuming City."

Lin Yushu was a little puzzled: "Are these bones going to stay in this underground palace until they die, just to protect this treasure?"

Wen Yu shook his head: "I don't quite understand either."

He held the torch and walked forward, and saw a faint flicker of firelight in the hall. In the center of the hall was a large porcelain vat filled with yellow wax. A dim flame in the porcelain vat was still beating.

This situation is really unbelievable. Hundreds of years have passed, and the lights in the underground palace have not been extinguished.

And the moment Jiang Yang and others entered, the originally gloomy stone hall was stimulated by Yang Qi, and all the skeletons suddenly stood up from the ground staggeringly.

"Be careful!" The spells of brothers Wen Yu and Liu Yan were the first to explode among the skeletons, followed closely by the people who moved the mountain gate.

Jiang Yang didn't hesitate when he saw this, and then he sealed the knot. Just as the monster stood up, it immediately turned into a piece of withered bones and fell down.

He cast the spirit-binding spell one after another. Fortunately, after the Youshui Stone was opened, it could absorb the yin energy and restore the true energy in such a group of ghosts and monsters with deep yin energy. Otherwise, he would not be able to sustain such consumption.

However, despite this, the cost of casting the Soul Binding Spell is still somewhat beyond one's means.

These ghosts and monsters were obviously much stronger than the armored rotting corpses outside. Jiang Yang continued to do the same trick. Except for a small number of these monsters that were killed, most of them were forced to lie down on the ground and stretch out their corpses under the restraint of Jiang Yang's spirit-binding spell.

, as if nothing happened.

They did not dare to delay at all and continued to move forward. The roads underneath the ground were extremely complicated, and there were trap doors and secret passages connecting each other. There were countless mechanisms, even interconnected, and there were many monsters scattered in these passages. If there was not someone to lead the way,

, everyone present, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, will most likely be trapped to death.

Jiang Yang followed the team and wandered around this complex underground maze for more than an hour, killing countless monsters along the way.

In the underground tunnel made entirely of bluestones, Jiang Yang used the soul-binding spell to arrest a skeleton. The moment Lin Yushu's sword light struck through it, the skeleton immediately turned into pieces.

Jiang Yang immediately followed the team through the huge stone trap door, and saw a long corridor extending forward, and the passage in front was lit up with clear lights.

Those bright lights are white and clear, like stars twinkling in the dark night.

The bright light is emitted from the stone walls on both sides. At a glance, I can see that the stone walls on both sides of the corridor are inlaid with egg-sized luminous pearls, one every ten or so steps. They look like the kind of modern soft pearls.

There are at least a dozen lights inlaid on both sides. At first glance, it is extremely spectacular!

"So many night pearls!"

Jiang Yang heard someone beside him exclaim.

Luminescent pearls are valuable. If they are good luminous pearls, they can be worth tens of thousands of taels. In this era without electrical appliances, they are an extremely practical treasure.

Not to mention that we haven't seen the treasure yet. There are so many luminous pearls outside. It is conceivable that the value of the treasure inside must be even more expensive.

At this moment, someone is trying to dig out these night-light pearls.

"Don't move!" Chen Zimou said immediately, "Be careful of the trap."

"Let's go inside and take a look first." Wen Yu said, "Maybe there is a better one."

Jiang Yang also knew that Wen Yu was right, so he quickly walked inside, crossed the corridor inlaid with luminous pearls, and all the way to the innermost floor of the underground palace, where he saw an extremely majestic palace.

This hall is different from any stone chamber I have seen before. The hall is spotlessly clean and antiseptic, and there are no bones scattered around like before.

There are several large luminous pearls inlaid on the top of the palace, which are enough to illuminate the entire palace. At a glance, you can see that the treasure light is shining everywhere, and it is magnificent.

I saw a long white marble table at the back of the hall, on which were displayed a series of ancient scrolls and atlases, as well as various treasure boxes, jade articles, and rare items.

There are treasures mostly made of gold around, as well as various high-end weapons and equipment such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, all wrapped in antiseptic special oilcloth. There are also two side doors on both sides, each leading to other side halls and perhaps other treasures.

The level of luxury is simply jaw-dropping.

If the treasures inside were moved out, it would be enough for everyone present to become rich overnight.

Not to mention the various treasures on the long table.

The eyes of everyone present were filled with scorching light, and figures were running their Qinggong skills, whizzing towards the stone table displaying the treasures.

But at this time, Jiang Yang noticed that there was a strange stone tomb in the center of the hall. There were eight axes under the stone tomb, which seemed to radiate in all directions.

At the bottom of the steps of the stone tomb, a figure wearing red armor sat down, holding a rusty sword blade in his right hand, with his head buried deeply.

Jiang Yang caught a glimpse of the figure in red armor, and his withered fingers suddenly moved!

Just when the fingers of the first few people were about to touch the treasure on the stone table, they suddenly saw a fierce sword force sweeping out like an overwhelming force!

Then he saw the figure wearing red armor standing in front of the table.

Pei Hu and several others who were close to the stone table were cut into two pieces by this sword. The blood splashed like buckets of paint on the palace wall and the stone table, which was shocking!
