Chapter 1304
"You go in first!"
Su Xuan's voice rang in Shi Qingxuan's ear.
Shi Qingxuan did not hesitate at all. Her body swayed, and she performed her movement technique, leaping into the passage that emerged from the active wall. After Shi Qingxuan entered, he followed closely behind.
After both of them entered the passage, the active wall returned to its original state, and this passage was closed and even locked, which was truly wonderful.
It was as if history was repeating itself.
After entering the passage, another corridor appeared in front of them.
At the top of the corridor, night-luminescent pearls emitted a soft light, illuminating the inside.
This corridor was very similar to the earlier one.
If it weren't for experiencing it in person, Shi Qingxuan would have thought she had returned to where she came from.
"Where is this?"
"This is the real Yang Gong Treasury!" Su Xuan answered Shi Qingxuan's question. "The previous one was a fake treasury, just something Lu Miaoji used to confuse people."
"No wonder!"
Shi Qingxuan had felt that although she saw many weapons and gold and silver treasures after seeing the treasury, it was a bit ordinary. Relying on those things, it seemed a bit difficult for Yang Su to rebel.
Now she understood that this Yang Gong Treasury was divided into one true and one fake. The one they entered earlier was the fake treasury, and the true treasury required other mechanisms to enter.
"Master Lu, you really are…"
Shi Qingxuan did not know how to describe Lu Miaoji for a moment.
Continuing forward, Shi Qingxuan also discovered the difference between this corridor and the earlier one.
With the help of the clear light, she could see that the floor of this corridor was paved with gray bricks of two different shades, which the previous three corridors did not have.
Su Xuan stepped on the light-colored bricks and pushed forward. After about fifty steps, under the illumination of three night-luminescent pearls on the left and right, a door appeared in front of him. However, there was no steel ring, only a circular control knob with forty-nine grids engraved on the edge, and a red dot was engraved on the door wall above the knob.
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heaven evolves forty-nine, and the one that escapes. This red dot is the one that escapes. Only by cracking the secret of the Heaven evolving forty-nine can one activate the one that escapes to break the mechanism."
"You once followed Lu Miaoji to learn mechanism arts and are exceptionally proficient in them. I will leave the rest to you!"
Su Xuan said to Shi Qingxuan beside him.
Shi Qingxuan was stunned and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: 'Is this the reason you brought me here?'
'No, perhaps it's just to find something for me to do!'
She couldn't help but think so, because the strength Su Xuan displayed was too terrifying. The mechanisms in the Yang Gong Treasury did not have any impact on Su Xuan. Besides, he was extremely familiar with the many mechanisms in the Yang Gong Treasury and easily cracked them.
She did not believe Su Xuan could not crack the mechanism in front of her.
Although she said so, after Su Xuan's words, Shi Qingxuan still devoted herself to the mechanism in front of her.
She was also interested in being able to participate in cracking the mechanisms of the Yang Gong Treasury in person.
Shi Qingxuan had been taught by Lu Miaoji and had great talent for mechanism arts. Even though Lu Miaoji did not tell her about the Yang Gong Treasury, all things have the same origin. Through the mechanism arts she learned from Lu Miaoji, it didn't take long for Shi Qingxuan to successfully crack the mechanism here.
As the mechanism was cracked, the door in front was opened immediately, and a small room only ten steps wide appeared in front of them.
In the center of the small room was a facility like a well, with a large winch on the well, and a short iron chain as thick as a child's arm was rolled on the winch.
Next was physical labor. Su Xuan naturally couldn't let Shi Qingxuan do it, so he had to do it himself.
He walked into the small room and reached out to turn the winch. The iron chain on the winch kept increasing. The other end was obviously connected to a wheel-axle arrangement, and it could only be wound up inch by inch.
Until a dull sound was heard, the iron chain could no longer be wound, and then the winch handle was locked.
After waiting for a while, bursts of thunder-like sounds suddenly came from deep in the ground beneath their feet. The two interlocking active walls separating the southwest and northeast areas opened simultaneously, and the passage to the east treasury finally opened slowly.
Shi Qingxuan had felt that this Yang Gong Treasury was too complicated, and now she felt it even more so.
After finally cracking the mechanism, it turned out there were mechanisms after mechanisms.
Master Lu was making things difficult for people!
But thinking that this was a treasury set up by Yang Su for his rebellion, no amount of caution seemed excessive.
Putting away her thoughts, she looked at Su Xuan who came to her side, followed Su Xuan to take steps again, passed through the corridor, and finally the two arrived at a circular stone room with a circular stone table in the center and eight stone chairs.

A map was carved on the stone table, with both pictures and text, extremely detailed, intuitively showing the relationship between the underground treasury and the city of Chang'an above ground.
In this perfectly circular stone room, there were four other wooden doors, leading to four treasure rooms. Some ignition materials were also prepared under the table for people to light lamps and illuminate the stone room. Su Xuan did not need such things; for him, seeing at night was just a normal operation, but Shi Qingxuan did not have such strength, so he told Shi Qingxuan the whole story.
Shi Qingxuan immediately went to light the lamps.
As the lamps were lit, the situation in the true treasury also appeared in Shi Qingxuan's eyes.
She saw that these four stone rooms were each a hundred steps wide, three storing weapons and one storing treasures mainly consisting of gold.
All weapons were properly wrapped in special oilcloth that was moisture-proof and anti-corrosive, and placed in thousands of sturdy wooden boxes.
Roughly estimated, just the crossbows and bows reached more than three thousand, and the arrows were countless. Other weapons such as armor, swords, spears, swords, and halberds were in the tens of thousands, enough to equip a force of ten thousand.
The map on the stone table showed that there were four other tunnels in the treasury, with entrances in the four storerooms, one of which led directly to a small hill outside the city.
The secret passage leading outside the city was equipped with carriage tracks and iron carts for transporting goods. As long as the cables were wound, materials could be quickly transported outside the city. It was just that this so-called quickness would take at least a day or two.
Taking Shi Qingxuan with him, he looked at the specific locations of the treasury.
Shi Qingxuan could not be said to be excited, nor was she disappointed.
Compared to the treasure, she was more curious about where Master Lu had hidden the Evil Emperor Relic.
If she remembered correctly, the Evil Emperor Relic was in this Yang Gong Treasury.
Soon, she knew.
Because after Su Xuan finished reading the Yang Gong Treasury, he came to the stone table again. He saw Su Xuan grab the edge of the table with both hands and pull it upward. The stone table rose two inches in response. After a soft sound, the stone table slowly rotated to the left, and the sound of wheel-axle friction came from under the stone table, obviously there was a mechanism.
As the mechanism was activated, a piece of floor beside the stone table sank, revealing a narrow space inside, and a sealed copper jar was placed inside.
