Chapter 26 Treasure or Trap

In the long passage, a stream of cold and humid air continued to come from all directions. The moisture in the air was like dewdrops, constantly pounced on the old man and Zuo Qingcang.

"It's so cold here." The old man shivered and said, "Can this passage lead to the bottom of the sea?"

"Think about the abyss on the murals, you will know that if the craftsmen are not exaggerating, it means that the coffin of Mirage Sect is buried very deep, and it is not surprising that it can penetrate deep into the sea. But it shouldn't be too deep, because if it is really thrown to the sea bottom, the tomb itself has no meaning."

The two of them were talking while moving forward. As the passage continued to wind down, the moisture and cold in the air became more and more serious. The old man had to walk tremblingly, but Zuo Qingcang had already penetrated the innate qi of the torso and limbs and muscles alienated, releasing a stream of heat at any time and anywhere, which did not lower his body temperature.

More than ten minutes later, the two walked out of the passage, and what appeared in front of them was a huge stone door that blocked their way forward.

Zuo Qingcang asked, "Is there any spiritual power reaction?"

The old man observed carefully and said, "No, except for the continuous release of the spiritual power of scattering on your body, I never saw anything else." He was talking about the heat radiation continuously released by Zuo Qingcang's muscles and organs.

Next, the two of them carefully checked, listened, knocked, and slapped again. Finally, Zuo Qingcang shook his head: "It seems that there is no mechanism?"

"Then do you want to say it?" the old man suggested.

"Well. Go back." Zuo Qingcang walked to the door and pressed his palms on the stone gate. He saw that he was slightly motivated, but the stone gate did not move at all. The next moment, Zuo Qingcang snorted coldly, and the innate aura on his body shook violently.

The violent power had already surged out of his muscles, exceeding the strength brought by ordinary muscle contraction and strength, which made the entire stone gate shock, and then began to move slightly.

The weight of this stone gate is at least several tons, but after practicing true martial arts, Zuo Qingcang, who has greatly enhanced its durability and explosive power, still pushed the door open little by little. If it were Liu Zhicheng or Zuo Qingcang, he would never have done this.

With a loud bang, as the door was completely pushed open, a stone hall appeared in front of the two of them. The hall was about 300 square meters, and two pillars full of dragon-shaped reliefs stood at both ends of the hall.

When the door opened, rows of fireballs on the wall lit up, illuminating the entire hall like daytime. Under the illumination of these flames, all the things on the floor of the hall were reflected in the eyes of the two of them.

It was a pile of gold, silver, jade, pearls and gems that looked like a bun, which looked dazzling and dazzling. This was a huge treasure that could subvert an effect. Anyone would probably not help but gasp after seeing it.

However, Zuo Qingcang's expression did not change. Instead, he pulled the old man backwards as the flames burned.

He said, "This tomb seems to be sealed."

The old man then turned his gaze away from the pile of financial reports and breathed out: "Well, the earthquake probably did not affect this tomb chamber, and the tomb robbers in the past were unable to break through here, so this tomb chamber is still sealed."

Then he looked at the burning torch in the tomb and said, "It should be some kind of Taoist material that can spontaneously ignite. When we open the tomb and the air flows in, he starts to burn."

Zuo Qingcang also thought so. He knew that many chemical substances such as white phosphorus would spontaneously ignite after a large amount of oxygen poured into a sealed space for a long time. This method is used here, obviously to light a lamp and deter the tomb robbers who don’t understand these.

The old man continued, "This sealed tomb has been too long, let's wait outside before going in."

Both of them understand this principle. In the stone chamber that has been sealed for a long time, it cannot be entered due to lack of oxygen and the toxic chemical gases generated by long-term sealing. You must wait for a while and wait until the air inside is clean before you can enter.

So the two of them simply retreated more than 200 meters and waited in the passage.

While waiting, Zuo Qingcang glanced at the old man and said, "Are you still thinking about those treasures?"

"Haha, there's no way. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen so many valuable things. If we can take them out, we won't have to worry about it in our lives."

Seeing Zuo Qingcang's brows frowned, the old man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid. These gold, silver and treasures are not placed in the burial room, but are placed here. It is obvious that there is a problem, how could I touch them?

Besides, we two can’t bring out no matter how much treasure we have.”

Zuo Qingcang nodded and said coldly: "It's good that you know. This kind of treasure in the tomb chamber is likely to be connected to the mechanism, and even the entire treasure is covered with toxins. If we don't touch it, we should not touch it."

Next, the two of them simply waited in the passage for a day and a night. Zuo Qingcang also ate a portion of the corpse of the dwarf spirit to replenish their energy, then stood up and walked towards the hall.

The scene was still full of gold and silverware on the ground, making people's eyes blurred. However, this time, both of them looked at each other and walked directly to another passage in the hall and then walked down.

Half an hour later, another stone door blocked the two of them.

Like the previous stone door, after Zuo Qingcang pushed open the door, the burning flames and the huge stone hall were different. This time, the one placed on the ground was not a massive amount of gold and silver treasures, but a row of bookshelf after row.

"Bei Peng Climbs the Sky Style!"

"Yuan Xiaoyao Chapter!"

"Three Swords of the South Sky!"

"Record of the Seven Gods Cong Xuanyuan!"

"The Life Cong Illustration!"

The old man looked at the books on the bookshelf and burst out several names in succession, his eyes widened, all of which were fanatical and incredible. It was not until Zuo Qingcang pulled into the passage and retreated for dozens of meters that he gradually stabilized.

He said with some ecstasy: "The bookshelf and those bookshelf are all martial arts and Taoist techniques of the Southern Saint Sect. It is said that the Mirage Sect was the leader of the Southern Saint Sect at that time, but unexpectedly, they would put all the classics of the Southern Saint Sect here! It must have recorded the various stages of practicing martial arts and Taoist techniques, and there may be all the cultivation methods of the Life Clan at that time!"

Unlike the old man's ecstasy, Zuo Qingcang frowned and thought to himself: "First it is wealth, then it is knowledge and power, what will be next?"
