Chapter 837: Immortal magic treasure

Passing through a stone chamber full of pottery figurines, and then through a stone chamber decorated brilliantly with various ancient treasures, the journey was smooth.

Just like that, incredibly, they arrived at the main tomb chamber smoothly and safely.

Zhang Daohe couldn't believe it.

"So simple? What about the suffering and crimes we endured before, hovering on the edge of life and death several times?"

"Maybe it counts as a test!"

Chen Guanlou said casually.

"Is this really the main tomb chamber?"

"Otherwise?"

In the center of the tomb chamber, several stone dragons with ferocious appearances arched over a stone platform, and above the stone platform was a huge stone coffin.

The stone dragons were realistically shaped, with jewels the size of fists embedded in their eyes, looking as if they had come alive. Around the tomb chamber, there were legendary birds and beasts kneeling and arching, representing loyal subjects!

The murals on the walls depicted the brilliant life of the tomb owner.

"The tomb owner turns out to be the fifth Emperor of the Great Yu, who reigned for a total of eleven years. In just eleven years, he could build an imperial mausoleum of such scale, which can be called a miracle."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in wonder.

He pointed to the mural and said again, "Without surprise, the stone coffin should be a joint burial of husband and wife. This is a husband-and-wife tomb! The Emperor loved the Empress deeply, however, the Empress's family background was not prominent, and because of difficult childbirth, she died of blood collapse. The Emperor was heartbroken and ordered the execution of everyone who had harmed the Empress. The ten-thousand-person pit we encountered before very likely came from this."

"So crazy?" Zhang Daohe couldn't understand.

"Unable to protect even his own beloved wife, ultimately leading to two deaths in one corpse. The Emperor's anger led to a million corpses. Trading the lives of a hundred thousand people for the Emperor's anger, tsk..."

Zhang Daohe didn't care about the Emperor's life experience at all.

"What about the opportunity? Why is there no opportunity? We fought to the death to come here, is it just to watch an Emperor's love story? To watch a stone coffin?"

He was angry!

His anger now was comparable to the Emperor's anger.

He was unwilling.

This was definitely not the result he wanted.

He became manic, attempting to open the stone coffin.

"Stop! Do you want to obtain the opportunity?" Chen Guanlou scolded loudly. "Look at the murals properly. If you want to obtain the opportunity, you must first finish watching these murals. Those with affinity will naturally obtain the opportunity within."

"Really?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try. Brother Zhang, ninety-nine steps of the hundred steps have already been walked. The last step, the more you need to be calm. People often die from their own rage; as the saying goes, if Heaven wants someone to perish, it must first make them crazy."

Chen Guanlou glared at the other party with great dissatisfaction; being rash and impulsive, what kind of behavior was that? In the past, he thought the other party was calculating, but now it seemed that at the critical moment, they were also unreliable. A silver spear with a wax head, good to look at but useless.

Trash!

Zhang Daohe, who was regarded as trash, took successive deep breaths, trying hard to calm his anxious and uneasy emotions, and stared at the murals on the wall to study them.

During the Emperor's reign, he carried out drastic reforms, suppressing noble families and promoting the poor. However, noble families colluded with immortals, causing trouble from within.

The Emperor also chose to cooperate with immortals.

Immortals were also divided into factions, competing, pulling, and restraining each other. Noble families decisively cut off the Empress's life and the Emperor's legitimate son's life. This was the deep-seated reason for the Emperor's anger leading to a million corpses.

Later, it seemed that because of turmoil in the immortal world, the murals depicted it very vaguely. The immortals left one after another. Before leaving, they left behind some immortal magic treasures.

Later, the Emperor became seriously ill, took pills, and died suddenly!

And then it was gone.

The two looked at each other.

"How come it's a bit anticlimactic."

The two's feelings were very consistent; they felt that the murals didn't match up from beginning to end. It was so intense before, with immortals and a million corpses. How come it just ended so hastily later?

"Are you familiar with this Emperor named Ruixiang?" Chen Guanlou asked.

Zhang Daohe shook his head. "Not familiar at all. All historical records only have one sentence about this Emperor: ascended the throne on such and such a year, month, and day, and passed away on such and such a year, month, and day! Nothing else."

Chen Guanlou said, "I have read some folk records from the early days of the previous dynasty, and there are also very few records about this Emperor. During his reign, he built water conservancy projects, conscripted laborers on a large scale, started several national wars, and consumed countless national strength. Anyway, apart from building water conservancy projects, the evaluation was not very good. Even for building water conservancy projects, the praise and criticism were mixed."

"Brother Chen, where is the opportunity?" Zhang Daohe's opportunity, which he was thinking about, hadn't even shown a shadow at this moment.

To prevent damaging the murals, Chen Guanlou only dared to stroke the murals lightly through a layer of cloth.

He looked at the murals of the Emperor's early period several more times. "I remember there was an incense burner in the stone chamber we passed before; go and move the incense burner here, and then look for incense candles."

"What for?"

"It has great use!"

Upon hearing that it had great use, Zhang Daohe didn't hesitate at all and went to the next stone chamber to move the incense burner. The bronze incense burner, half a person tall, had incense candles placed for nearly a thousand years, all ready.

The incense burner was very heavy!

Zhang Daohe said, "The weight of the incense burner is not quite right; it feels heavier than an ordinary bronze incense burner, at least one or two times heavier, maybe even more."

Fortunately, his cultivation was profound, so he could move an incense burner of such weight.

Chen Guanlou wiped the incense burner lightly with cloth, observing the carvings on it.

"I don't understand the inscriptions, but the carvings on this, this incense burner, might be one of the many magic treasures left by immortals!"

Hearing that it was an immortal magic treasure, Zhang Daohe rushed over excitedly.

"Brother Chen, how can you tell that this incense burner is an immortal magic treasure."

"I guessed it through the murals. In the third mural, hosting a banquet to entertain immortals, look at the corner, is there an incense burner, and is it very similar to the one before us? Look at the fourth one again, one of the immortals is holding a magic treasure. Look at the magic treasure in his hand, does it look like this incense burner?"

Zhang Daohe rushed to the mural again and shouted in surprise, "It looks like it! It really looks like it! Exactly the same. Brother Chen, you are too amazing; you remembered this incense burner after just one look. If it weren't for you, we would have missed it."

"I was just a bit curious why there would be an incense burner with a strange shape in the tomb chamber where treasures were placed. It must have some special meaning, so I paid more attention to it. Come, light the incense candles, we are about to witness a miracle."

Zhang Daohe excitedly picked up the incense candles, his cheeks turning red.

"How about you light it, Brother Chen! You discovered the incense burner, so even if it's an opportunity, it should be obtained by you first."

"No need!" Chen Guanlou refused decisively. "I guess that lighting this incense burner requires absolute piety as one of the necessary conditions. You are definitely pious; you believe in immortals deeply and yearn for them in your heart. I am different; I lack piety, and I'm afraid of falling short of success."

"Brother Chen is not pious?" Zhang Daohe was slightly surprised.

"Why should I be pious?" Chen Guanlou asked back. Immortals are not his parents. Just because of an immortal, they want him to be pious and worship, dream on!

Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that immortals are just like that, each with their own calculations and purposes. What immortal grace to the world, what immortal protection to the world, it's all bullshit!

Living in this world, the only thing you can rely on is yourself.

If the immortals knew he had the Longevity Dao Fruit, they might turn their faces and kill him to seize the treasure immediately. ===== CHAPTER 838 =====
