Chapter 299 No loss
The well water is icy cold, freezing to the bone.

Fortunately, everyone has strong martial arts skills and is not afraid of the cold.

Under the guidance of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling who had returned, everyone jumped into the well and entered an entrance through the side of the well that was wide enough for one person to pass through. It was very hidden and not easy to be discovered, and they came to a passage.

The light in the passage was very dim, and it was pitch black all around. You couldn’t see your hand in front of you, and the temperature was much lower than outside.

It was like coming from the world of the living to a dark, silent and cold underground world.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling took out waterproof tinder that they had wrapped in sheepskin in advance. The lit flame brought a dim but only light to the dark underground passage.

The people who followed in later could see clearly that the walls of the surrounding passage were made of bluestone.

There are traces of artificial excavation on it, it does not look like it was formed naturally.

Because it is located at the bottom of the well and the air is humid, a layer of black moss grows on the surface of the stone wall.

“My two young men, is this the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house?”

Dugu Feng asked Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

She knew about the backgrounds of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling came from humble backgrounds, they both took Taoist Qingyang as their master.

They were destined to achieve extraordinary things in the future, so she called Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling “young heroes”.

But after she asked, she found that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not answer her, but looked at her with “weird” eyes.

Dugu Feng looked down and realized that when she fell into the well, her clothes were wet by the water.

Although she was only wearing a black tights, after the clothes got wet, they still outlined her curvy feminine figure, which was undoubtedly eye-catching.

Dugu Feng was startled. Although she came from one of the four great families and was the most outstanding successor of the younger generation of the four great families, she was still a girl after all.

Li Xiuning, who was traveling with everyone, was dressed in men’s clothes. She walked behind Dugu Feng. Although her figure was equally outstanding, her fiancé Chai Shao, her elder brother Li Shimin and Tuo Fenghan were walking at the end. They could only see her and Dugu Feng’s silhouettes.

“The two young men may have been fascinated by Sister Dugu’s grace.”

Li Xiuning smiled sweetly.

“Cough cough!”

Li Xiuning’s joking words woke the two of them up from their dreams, and Xu Ziling coughed.

“Just now, after we jumped down, we explored and thought that the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house was at the bottom of the well, so we dived all the way down and found an underground river at the bottom of the well. However, after searching in vain, we discovered that the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house was at the bottom of the well. It was Master Ling who happened to discover the mechanism of the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house.”

Kou Zhong lowered his head and explained quickly.

“The mechanism at the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasury is a raised stone. If you don’t search carefully, it is very easy to be overlooked. I just happened to notice it.”

Xu Ziling said a little embarrassedly.

“It seems that we were able to find the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house thanks to the two young heroes.”

Dugu Feng said.

She could only pretend she didn’t know, as if the embarrassing scene just now had never happened.

“In fact, the blueprint of Yang Gong’s Treasure House that Master gave us has the specific entrance location marked on it, but a blueprint is just a blueprint, and we still have to find the specific location ourselves.”

Xu Ziling said.

“My two junior brothers, time is urgent. Now that we have found Yang Gong’s treasure house, let’s move on quickly. The sooner we determine the location of Yang Gong’s treasure house, the easier it will be for us to send people to quietly transport the treasures inside.”

Li Shimin urged from behind.

After all, the master was still on the ground above his head, in the direction of Wulou Temple not far away, and was under tremendous pressure.

“Right.”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling responded.

Then the group continued to move forward through this passage according to the location on the treasure house map.

The passage first extends upward for five or six feet, then changes to extend downward, and is quite steep. Along the way, you can see dark brown moss growing on the walls of the passage.

In some places, there was even accumulated water on the ground that had seeped out from the walls of the passage.

Fortunately, the water was not deep, with the deepest point no deeper than the knees, so everyone just had to wade across.

Not long after, there was no way forward and a stone wall blocked the way.

However, after searching around the stone wall, everyone followed the instructions on the treasure house blueprint and found three slightly raised stones on the wall of the passage.

Everyone pressed down the three slightly raised stones one after another in the order indicated on the blueprint. Then the passage began to shake, and the ground under their feet suddenly tilted, carrying the group forward.

The stone wall blocking the way ahead also opened instantly.

The bodies of the group fell rapidly and uncontrollably.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Li Shimin and others were greatly shocked and wanted to use the wall to stop themselves.

But the mossy walls and the ground were very smooth, and as they continued to accelerate, they couldn’t slow themselves down, let alone stop.

Because the incident happened suddenly, I didn’t know where the fire starter in my hand had gone, even though it was pitch dark around me.

After sliding for dozens of feet, the panicked crowd felt something go missing under their feet, and the ground suddenly disappeared.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were at the front, were startled. Xu Ziling shouted, “It’s over. Isn’t there a bottomless abyss ahead?”

Kou Zhong closed his eyes and shouted, “My life is over!”

Think about the Twin Dragons of Yangzhou. They finally took advantage of the situation and became disciples of “Mountain Pusher” Shilong and Taoist Qingyang, who taught them advanced martial arts. From being two low-level thugs, they have reached where they are now.

Are they going to die today?

The rest of the people were also devastated. As their bodies fell freely, there was only a blank in their minds.

They didn’t even have time to utter a word of emotion.

The calmest person among them was Li Shimin, who was in the last position. He tried his best to calm himself down.

Despite the free fall of his body, his biological instincts were aroused and his adrenaline surged.

“Master shouldn’t harm us. He found this item when he went to find the builder of Yang Gong’s treasure house, the world’s most versatile Lu Miaozi. There may be a turning point in this matter.”

Li Shimin said in his heart.

When their bodies fell hundreds of feet, they felt that they fell on a very elastic net. This net effectively alleviated the impact of their falling bodies. Everyone was thrown to the ground and stood up again.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Suddenly, two sounds of extremely elastic objects breaking were heard.

In this empty darkness, the sound was extremely clear.

“Oh no, this thing is breaking, let’s find an exit quickly.”

Everyone was still in shock, and seeing another unexpected event, Kou Zhong’s face changed.

The people who thought they had just escaped death suddenly changed their expressions again.

Among the crowd, the four with the highest martial arts skills were Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Li Shimin, and Tuo Fenghan. They immediately coordinated with each other and in an instant, they sent out several palm winds, fist winds, and finger winds in front of their bodies.

These palm winds, fist winds, and finger winds hit the walls all around, making muffled puffing sounds.

Only from the direction of Tuo Fenghan could a crisp metallic sound be heard.

“The exit is in my direction, everyone move towards me.”

As Tuo Fenghan leaped forward, he shouted to those around him.

Sure enough, after he flew a short distance forward, he felt himself landing steadily on a stone platform.

Relying on their super hearing, everyone landed on the stone platform.

There is no weak person in the group. Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, the only ones with weaker martial arts skills, are also the best among the acquired masters.

Although he is not an expert in the martial arts world, he is not a drag on others.

After landing on the stone platform, Li Shimin took out a fire starter from his arms, which had been wrapped in several layers of sheepskin and made waterproof. A bright light immediately lit up in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings and allowing everyone to see their situation clearly.

They were seen standing on a stone platform about a hundred feet in size. Not far away at the end of the platform was a dark cave.

Hanging above the hole was a large net woven with elastic material similar to cow tendon.

It is just right to catch people and objects falling from above.

But perhaps because it was too old, the net had become rotten and its quality was questionable. Suddenly carrying the weight of six people, some places had begun to break and holes had formed.

Fortunately, everyone reacted in time, otherwise they would have fallen into the big hole.

The depth of the hole was unknown. If one fell into it, he would be dead for sure.

Li Shimin turned around with the tinder in his hand, and discovered that behind them there was a metal door nearly a meter high with two doors tightly closed.

The metal door is dark in color with a hint of verdigris. It appears to be a mixture of copper and iron. It is neither pure iron nor pure copper.

“This is it. This is the entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure house.”

Seeing this metal door, a hint of joy flashed in Li Shimin’s eyes.

Several of their fellow disciples had all seen the blueprint of Yang Gong’s treasury given to them by their master, Taoist Qingyang. According to the blueprint, the location of Yang Gong’s treasury was on a metal door.

As long as you find this metal door, it is equivalent to finding Yang Gong’s treasure house, and you are only one step away from entering Yang Gong’s treasure house.

“It seems that what we experienced before were all mysterious and clever mechanisms arranged by Senior Lu Miaozi.”

Xu Ziling said as he looked at the metal door in front of him.

According to the blueprint of Yang Gong’s treasury, Yang Guang’s treasury is divided into real and fake.

Although there are some dangers in the mechanisms and traps of the real treasure house, overall, the danger is not great.

What is truly dangerous are the fake treasure houses surrounding the real treasure house. The mechanisms and traps in those fake treasure houses are a real death sentence for intruders.

“I’ll open the mechanism.”

Kou Zhong volunteered.

As long as they find the treasure house, the mechanisms inside will no longer pose any threat or difficulty to them.

Because they have the treasure house drawings left by the builder of the treasure house.

After finding a position, Kou Zhong walked to the right side of the metal door and aimed at a position about seven feet high. He jumped up and suddenly exerted force on the stone wall. The true energy of Changsheng Jue burst out, and the wall was broken by Kou Zhong’s punch like tofu, revealing a hole on the face.

The hole on the face was square, obviously a relic from the time of construction. What Kou Zhong had just broken was just its disguise.

After breaking the disguise of the mechanism, Kou Zhong, who had just landed on the ground, suddenly jumped up again and punched the square hole in the metal door.

Then, everyone heard the rumbling sound of machinery running.

Then, a metal plate that was just big enough for one person to pass through slowly opened from the ten-foot-high metal door.

This is the real entrance to Yang Gong’s treasury. If someone comes here accidentally and does not know the specific method of opening the mechanism, and rashly tries to force open the metal door, or uses the wrong method to open the door, it will trigger the treasury’s defense mechanism, and the intruder will then face all kinds of dangerous mechanisms.

“The treasure house is opened!”

Everyone looked at the treasure house entrance on the metal door, and a hint of joy flashed across their faces.

……

Around Wulou Temple.

A large area of ​​the house and courtyard collapsed, and the surrounding area became a ruin, as if a natural disaster had occurred.

A young Taoist priest stood on the bell tower of Wulou Temple.

He had an extraordinary temperament and a faint fragrance emanated from his body. The five qi that was faintly visible in his chest was very thin, and his body was covered with a silver-white light, and the protective true qi had become somewhat dim. Although he still looked like an immortal from heaven, it was obvious that the Taoist was already very weak.

At this time, there were hundreds of martial artists around Wulou Temple, all of them looking at each other from afar with frightened eyes. No one dared to make any rash moves, let alone overstep the line.

Because the smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated, the hundreds of corpses of martial arts masters lying on the ground around Wulou Temple were warning everyone that the young Taoist in front of them was so powerful and had high martial arts skills that he was unbelievable, like an immortal or Buddha.

The Taoist was Chu Yuan.

“Anyone who enters the Wulou Temple before sunset will be killed!”

Chu Yuan looked down at everyone and repeated his previous words.

“Amitabha, Taoist Qingyang…”

At this moment, a somewhat weak voice, chanting the Buddha’s name, came from the ruins on the right side of Wulou Temple.

Chu Yuan looked over and found that the person who spoke was Di Xin, one of the four patriarchs of Buddhism.

At this time, the other party looked very miserable. Not only was his monk’s robe torn, but there was blood at the corner of his mouth. The Zen stick in his hand was stuck in a collapsed wall not far away, but only half of it was left, and the head of the Zen stick had disappeared.

Now he looks like an ordinary old monk, very old, and no longer has the compassionate and holy look he had when he first appeared.

“There are only two of the four holy monks left in Buddhism. It’s not too late for you to retreat now, so that Buddhism won’t be completely wiped out!”

Chu Yuan said in a calm tone.

This war will undoubtedly result in losses for both sides.

After all, he was not invincible. This time, he was besieged by the Buddhist sect, the Demonic sect, and many martial arts masters, and he was neither victorious nor defeated.

But it’s not a loss!

because……

Chu Yuan looked at them one by one.

Not far from the Emperor’s heart, three meters away, lying on the ground were the bodies of Master Jiaxiang and Master Zhihui. The two monks had their eyes closed, sitting cross-legged, with no life in their bodies, and had already passed away.

In another direction, the four Vajra Kings of Jingnian Zen Temple were killed by him using the “Five Thunders Dharma”, their bodies charred black. An old monk stood beside the corpses of the four Vajra Kings, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

This old monk was the abbot of Jingnian Zen Temple, Liaokong.

Five masters came to Jingnian Zen Temple, and now only one abbot, Kong, is left.

The other party was practicing the Buddhist “Silent Zen”, but seeing that the four Vajras, the mainstays of Jingnian Zen Temple, were not angry, not stupid, not greedy, and not afraid, they died one after another at the hands of Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan used his original spirit to oppress the other party. Liao Kong did not keep his own state of mind and finally broke the precepts, and this “Silent Zen” martial art was wasted.

In addition, there were corpses of the Evil Emperor’s disciples You Niaojuan, Ding Jiuchong, Zhou Laotan, Jin Huanzhen and others on the ground.

Except for the Evil Emperor’s disciples who wanted to obtain the Evil Emperor’s relics, other people from the Demon Sect, such as An Long, Tianjun Xi Ying, Bi Chen Rong Fengxiang, Ziwu Sword Zuo Youxian, as well as DTZ’s national master Demon Marshal Zhao Deyan, Western Turkic national master Yun Shuai and other masters, when they saw that the situation was not right and that Chu Yuan’s martial arts had exceeded their expectations, they immediately retreated.

The Demon Sect is a group of selfish people. Unless their lives are threatened, don’t expect them to fight for their lives.

The Yinkui Sect’s act of watching its leader Zhu Yuyan die is a living example.

Yun Shuai is the national teacher of Western Turkic Khaganate. His opponents are Turkic people. Although they are also coming for Yang Gong’s treasure house, they are more thinking of giving it a try and preventing DTZ from obtaining Yang Gong’s treasure house.

So the incident that only the Buddhists were injured happened.

While Chu Yuan and the two masters of Buddhism and Demon were fighting, there were some masters who were watching the fight secretly, trying to take advantage of the situation and sneak into Wulou Temple.

But Chu Yuan has already cultivated his primordial spirit, and his spiritual perception is extremely sharp.

No one could break through his defense and enter the Wule Temple.

There were only hundreds of corpses left around Wulou Temple.

As a result, Chu Yuan and the Buddha and the Demon fought each other and both suffered heavy losses. The other masters were all frightened and no one dared to take action.
