Chapter 207
Chapter 207
Chang'an City has a long history and a long history. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been an important city in the Central Plains, and its humanities and economy are very prosperous.Later, it went through several twists and turns and was destroyed by war, which is very regrettable.The Sui Dynasty built a new city near the original city site, named it Daxing, and established it as the capital of the Sui Dynasty.However, due to habit, many people still call it Chang'an verbally.
This city is located in Guanzhong, and its status is equal to that of Luoyang and Yangzhou.Whoever can occupy these capitals shows that he has extraordinary strength, has the qualifications to dominate one side, and also has a faint meaning of "destiny".
To this day, the power distribution in Chang'an is still complicated.It is mainly controlled by the Li Clan who is also located in Guanzhong, but the Yingui Sect's lair has always been established in Chang'an, but it is not known to the public.Many years ago, Shi Zhixuan chose a famous treasure temple in the city and lived in seclusion in it as the abbot, which not only facilitated him to conceal his real identity, but also helped him find the treasure house of Duke Yang and the relic of the evil emperor.
The Li Clan fought everywhere and often won victories. After the war, the important people who defected to them or surrendered would be sent back to Chang'an, including Li Mi who was defeated and surrendered after fighting hard, and the Dugu Clan who was declining and had to go to his in-law Li Yuan.After these people arrived in Chang'an, they lived in different places and brought different numbers of subordinates, which further increased its complexity.
During the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su secretly built a treasure house underground in Chang'an City for self-protection.Once Yang Jian made a move, the situation took a turn for the worse, and he could rely on Curry's weapons and treasures, as well as the military power in his hand, to fight the opponent.
However, he eventually died of illness and never had a chance to use it.His son Yang Xuangan raised troops in a hurry because of the sudden incident, and never got the chance to open the treasure house. After being captured, he refused to reveal the secret. As a result, most people only heard the legend of the treasure house and were unable to explore it deeply.
Ssangyong learned about the location of Duke Yang's treasure house from Fu Junmao, and learned mechanism techniques from the builder Lu Miaozi, so they are the best candidates to open the treasure house.Because of this, they have been coerced and lured by various big figures since they were penniless punks, and even their brothers around them were affected.If it wasn't for their good luck and their cleverness, they might become victims of their crimes again.
Ordinary people covet the materials in the treasury, but the Demon Sect and the Righteous Way are very concerned about the evil emperor's relic.For them, this is a peerless treasure that they would rather give up all their treasures to obtain, and its status is not lower than He's Bi.
In Su Ye's memory, the Evil Emperor's relic originated in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was a rare treasure excavated by the "Evil Emperor" Xie Bo, the suzerain of the Heavenly Evil Dao, when he excavated the ancient tomb.He took it with him and discovered its wonderful property of storing essence, so before he died, he poured all the essence into the relic, and asked his disciples to pass it down from generation to generation to study the method of extracting essence.
In this way, there will always be someone who, with the help of relics, will break through the avenue of heaven and man, and make the magic door flourish.
Xie Bo passed away, but the relic is still there, and it is revered as the unique sacred object of Tianxie Dao.Every generation of evil emperors passed away by injecting essence according to Xie Bo's wishes, so the relics were also filled with essence from different masters.Not only is it huge and heterogeneous, it is also strangely cold and strange, extremely dangerous to anyone, and can easily kill those who try to extract the essence.
His idea is of course unconventional and unique, but unfortunately, no one has successfully absorbed the essence in hundreds of years.Now the Heavenly Evil Way has become the Xieji Sect, and the four disciples who passed it from Xie Bo to Xiang Yutian, and then to Xiang Yutian have become the weakest branch of the Demon Sect.Moreover, Xiang Yutian did not pass on the relic to his disciples, but handed it to Lu Miaozi, asking him to find someone in the Demon Sect who could inherit the relic.
Lu Miaozi searched for several years, but he didn't like anyone. Taking advantage of the opportunity to design a treasure house for Yang Su, he put the relics into the treasure house and waited for someone who was destined to appear.
After receiving the information on the relics, Houhou contacted Ssangyong several times, trying to reach a deal, that is, they would take military supplies at will and leave the relics to the Yingui sect.However, Ssangyong once again showed the attitude of "I don't do it", neither intending to take it all by itself, let alone hand it over to Momen, which made the two parties break up unhappy.
Because outsiders don't know that Su Ye knows Lu Miaozi, and that Lu Miaozi presided over the construction of Duke Yang's treasury, she was left in peace.Holding the design scroll in her hand, she carefully studied the mysteries in the picture, and memorized all the mechanisms and secret passages until she could figure out the difference between a real warehouse and a fake warehouse with her eyes closed.
This huge underground building is called "ku", which is actually an underground fortress. It is divided into four entrances and exits, which are located outside the city, Yong'an Canal, Xiji Garden, and Wulou Temple.If Yang Su raises an army, he can escape from Chang'an through Yang Gong's treasure house, or send the army into the city through the exit outside the city.
Fu Junmao only knew one thing, and couldn't get in by the right way. He only entered the fake warehouse, took away a few treasures in the fake warehouse, and signed his name on the door.Even if she finds the real warehouse, without knowing the distribution of the organs, she can only go around in the auxiliary warehouse. She can't see that there is a hole in the deeper place, and there is a main warehouse that stores magical weapons and rare treasures.
The evil emperor's relic is in Zhengku's mechanism room, and it has been dusty for decades.
By this time, many people knew about the relationship between Baoku and Chang'an.Regardless of the Li family or the Momen, they all pay close attention to Ssangyong's every move, hoping to see through the specific location of the treasure house.Prior to this, they had started with Kou Zhong's important subordinates and asked "the treasure house is at the Yuema Bridge", but to no avail, they couldn't find a specific entrance at all.
When Ssangyong made up his mind to remove the inventory, he had to put on a mask and enter Chang'an under a false identity, otherwise he would be followed and besieged by various forces on the first day of his appearance.
Su Ye was well aware of the inside story of the treasury, and also knew that although there were plenty of weapons in the treasury, what was truly irreplaceable was only a batch of sharp weapons in the main treasury, and it was not difficult to transport them out.What's more, Yang Jian had already considered the dilemma of being besieged by people and lacking manpower, so he designed a targeted special mechanism, using iron chains and cables to control the secret passage, setting up sliding iron cars, and assisting in the transportation of materials, which can be transported all the way outside the city river course.
Its existence is indeed shocking, and it is also Lu Miaozi's proud work.Even if he wants to put it into the warehouse, he has to follow the steps step by step, and remove the traps everywhere, there is no shortcut to accomplish it overnight.
She wanted to take Ssangyong to Chang'an together, but the military situation in Shiyan was urgent, Kou Zhong couldn't get away, and Xu Ziling went to help elsewhere, but he couldn't get away for a while.After weighing it over, Su Ye decided that there should be no further delay, so he decided to go alone.
Yang Gong's treasure house covers a very wide area and is of a huge scale, and all the hubs are controlled by a main control agency room.When the mechanism is withdrawn, there will be a slight vibration sound from the ground.It can hide from the civilians in Chang'an, but it can't hide from the soldiers who monitor the abnormal situation underground, let alone the magic masters who always pay attention to the treasure house.
Among the four exits, Xiji Garden is the mansion where Dugu lived in Chang'an, and the entrance is at the bottom of the well in the back garden.Wulou Temple is the temple where Shi Zhixuan supports himself, every movement of the ground will definitely startle him who is sitting quietly in the temple.To make matters worse, Zhao Deyan had already rushed to Chang'an from the Eastern Turks, first found You Niaojuan, subdued him, asked him about the secrets of the essence, and the secret of extracting the essence, and then dived deep in Chang'an, preparing to find the right time to show up body, and seized the relic in one fell swoop.
He has always been very ambitious, and he travels alone. At the same time, he is deeply trusted by the East Turkic Khan, and it is not uncommon for him to join forces with the Central Plains Demon Sect.If he defeats Zhu Yuyan in the competition, he can replace her as the leader of the Demon Sect and become No. 1 of the Demon Sect.
To Su Ye, this was by no means a bad thing.She has been worried that the plot changes too much, and the relationship between the various forces has also undergone tremendous changes, which will cause Zhao Deyan and others to delay coming to the Central Plains.Now that she heard that he was in Chang'an, she immediately felt relieved.
In fact, she is well aware of the risks of this trip.Even if Kou Zhong, the protagonist, came in person and arranged for a manpower to respond, it would be difficult to resist the mighty power of the Li Clan in Chang'an. They could only let them discover the deputy treasury, remove the things in the treasury, and then leave quietly by themselves.If she wants, she can slip away after getting the relic.But she didn't want to give up this chance of a carrot meeting.
She hopes to absorb the essence, break through the bottleneck that has been stuck for several years, and then use it as bait to lure her opponent to come.There are not many opportunities like this. It is very convenient to leave after picking up the things, and then you have to work hard to find someone.
The essence is indeed extremely dangerous, different from the aura of heaven and earth in Heshibi, it is the evil true essence that condenses the death energy of the evil emperors of the past, but she must take this risk.The relic could not be destroyed by manpower, so falling into anyone's hands would be a huge threat to her, and it would be a pity to discard it if it fell into her hands.
She calculated the troops that all parties could send, and divided them into three classes according to the degree of danger.Fortunately, people in the Demon Sect seldom cooperate sincerely, and most of them are cruel and selfish. They would rather not get the relic than give it to anyone other than themselves.Zhao Deyan didn't want to collude with the Yingui sect at all, and regarded the Yin queen as an opponent, otherwise, her troubles would be much bigger than now.
After making sufficient preparations, she set off for Guanzhong, successfully entered Chang'an City, and hid in the city for a while. First, she found out the geographical environment and urban distribution of Chang'an, and then took advantage of the crowds and hustle and bustle on the street during the day to open the Yuema Bridge Open the leading mechanism on the top, open the entrance of the secret passage, and enter the treasure house through the entrance.
The three sons of the Li Clan are very concerned about the treasure house, and have sent people to investigate the real estate mansions of Yang Su and Yang Su's cronies many times, intending to find some clues from the outside.They have all been through battles and are familiar with what kind of manor is most conducive to Yang Su's rebellion, and in the end they actually succeeded in locking down several suspicious locations.Any kind of anomaly may attract the attention of the watchers, causing them to take risks and enter the warehouse to find out.
Even though Su Ye had the picture scroll in hand, it took a lot of effort to successfully disarm dozens of traps and open the living wall of the mechanism room.In order to prevent side effects, after entering the mechanism room, she activated the hub as quickly as possible, and sealed the entrance again.
Her actions are more stealthy than Ssangyong, her movements are lighter than theirs, and her actions are more decisive than theirs.At the moment when the secret passage was sealed again and the mechanism was reactivated, the surrounding area was still silent, only the faint sound of groundwater flowing through the stone wall.Neither the Yingui faction nor the Li faction had time to take action.
At this time, she was standing in the mechanism room with a radius of only ten steps, staring at the copper pot placed on the stone table with ecstasy.The stone table is a map, marking in detail the passages leading to the treasure house in all directions, as well as the traps set in the passages.The copper pot was hidden under the stone table before, in a small hidden space, and it could only be taken out by turning the stone table to raise the top.
The Jingnian Zen sect uses a copper temple to seal Heshibi, and Lu Miaozi also uses a copper pot to seal the relic to seal its power, so that people will not feel the cold breath from the relic from a distance of 100 meters.
He was also benevolent to her. He once reminded her not to act rashly after getting the relic, so as not to be victimized by greed.The relic is an extremely difficult object to control. Even if it contains the essence of the emperors of the past dynasties and lures outsiders to find out, the actual harm will far outweigh the benefits.Xiang Yutian himself has never used it, which shows how terrible it is.If Su Ye rushes forward greedily, it is very likely that his meridians will burst and he will die in the treasure house.
Of course, Lu Miaozi's warning had a reason, and it was also out of good intentions.When she lifted the seal of the copper pot, she immediately felt a slight chill coming out of the pot, which seemed to be so slight that it was not noticeable, but it was everywhere.At this moment, she understood on the spot his fear of it.
This copper pot is not big, it looks like an ordinary pot, but it weighs more than a hundred catties.This is not because the relic is fat, but because it is full of mercury that soaks the relic.Under the reflection of the fire, the mercury reflects crystal silver light from time to time, but it is only fleeting, like a jar of mysterious liquid that does not belong to the world.
Even so, when the relic was not disturbed by external objects, it was quieter than He's Bi, only emitting a little cold air, and did not burst out overwhelming power to disturb the minds of others.It quietly sank in the mercury, waiting for the moment when outsiders inject internal power.But no matter how quiet it was, the chill still lingered, making Su Yeqing uncontrollably tense, as if facing a source of radioactive pollution.
Xiang Yutian is a legend of the Demon Sect who has lived for hundreds of years. He was active in the late Jin Dynasty and had contacts with members of the Demon Sect until the time when Lu Miaozi was active.But for his own reasons, he deliberately released news of his fake death, so that others would think that he had failed in cultivating the Dao Heart Demon and died unfortunately.Afterwards, decades ago, he took in four cold-hearted disciples and made them fight each other, so that no one could inherit the true lineage of the Xieji Sect.
He naturally has his reasons for doing so, so there is no need to delve into it.The appearance of the evil emperor's relic still overflowing with essence proves that he failed to absorb it, no wonder he has to wait for the next generation.
Su Ye didn't know if he was still alive, but he could only confirm that he lived to the end of the Sui Dynasty. Logically speaking, he should have broken into the void and passed away.But Yupei set to defeat Xiang Yutian, as if he was still in the world, giving her a chance to learn from him.
You Niaojuan and the other four are familiar with the teacher's mentality and the secret of the relic, but they don't know where the relic is. They have no ambition to become the next generation of evil emperors, and in the end they are forced to confess the secret to others.If this was Xiang Yutian's purpose of accepting them as apprentices, it would undoubtedly be a success.
Su Ye didn't want to look at Yutian for the time being, and stared at the relic for a while, making sure that there was nothing unusual about it, then stretched out his right hand, submerged it into the mercury liquid, grabbed the translucent crystal the size of a fist, and took it out .
The evil emperor's relic left the jar, and immediately reflected the flames, emitting a faint yellow light, like an ordinary mineral.It itself is dark yellow, mixed with countless blood-red fine lines, very similar to the capillaries in a living body, giving it a living evil meaning.
The crystal is hard on the outside, but when you touch it, it feels different from ordinary crystals. The inside is soft and hard, and you feel like you can't grasp its material.Up to this moment, it was still as usual, held by her with one hand, so that she could take a closer look at the inner state of the crystal.
Su Ye is very confident in Lu Miaozi's design, and is sure that if the mechanism is not opened, others will not be able to enter the main warehouse.But as long as conditions permit, she also doesn't want to stay alone in this huge empty fortress.She observed for a while, and found that she couldn't see anything with the naked eye, so she touched the jade pendant with her left hand and pressed it with luck.
What has happened once in the past has happened again.The evil emperor's relic remained motionless, lying on her hand, as stubborn as He's jade, resolutely refusing to go in.
At the same time, the flow of breath in her body never affected her right hand, but triggered a reaction from Relic.It was actually more sensitive than any master, able to detect the slightest changes in the outside world, and when it realized that the hand holding itself was different, it immediately seemed to have found an outlet for it to vent, and stuck tightly to her palm.
Inside the relic, a huge and turbid heterogeneous essence surged out, passed through the yin acupoints, penetrated into her palm, and rushed directly to other meridians, which did not allow her to resist at all.In addition to the essence, there are miscellaneous qi, dead qi, and evil qi, like a torrent carrying dirt and dirt, as if wishing to submerge her, which made her instinctively generate the power to fight back.
From this point of view, it and He's Bi are really like twin brothers, they are equally fierce and domineering, but the nature of the stored power is different.
