The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

“I think Mr. Jia is right. The best stuff is definitely still deeper inside. Of course, we must speed things up. After all, quite a few people have come in this time. If we don’t act quickly, these martial arts figures might beat us to it. Especially the people from the Kushan Empire and the Longwu Dynasty!”

After watching his subordinates pack all the manuals into a black cloth bag, Wu Qingye spoke up with a reminder.

Soon, the wealthy merchants all left the secret room.

After walking into the outer hall, Jia Daoshi suddenly stopped and turned to look at the library behind him.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Yi Qianxiao asked, puzzled.

The secret manuals inside have just been taken, leaving only rows of bookshelves.

"There seems to be something behind these bookshelves." After pondering for a moment, Jia Daoshi suddenly picked up the iron crutch that Hei Xiazi had broken in two and dropped on the ground, and threw it hard at a spot in the secret room!

"boom!"

"Splash splash splash!"

The bookshelves almost simultaneously collapsed and fell to the ground, instantly filling the air with dust and turning everything gray.

After everything had settled down, Jia Daoshi suddenly said, "It seems that this is the true treasure of the underground palace."

Wu Qingye, Shen Li, and Yuan Jin'er all looked at him almost simultaneously.

Knowing their eyesight was inferior to his, Jia Daoshi relit a torch, tossed it inside, and then pointed:

"Look there."

Following Jia Daoshi's gesture, the flickering firelight had already turned the stone walls inside a bright red, revealing a large area of ​​murals that had been hidden by the bookshelves.

These murals are all composed of very simple lines. Although the lines are simple, they have already captured the spirit of the scene and given people a sense of being there.

Looking at the mural, it depicts a person wearing a monster mask and a cloak.

The artist painted several small mountains beneath him and some clouds around him, making the protagonist look as if he were riding the wind!

A few simple strokes, yet so lifelike!

"This mask looks really scary," Yi Qianxiao remarked.

Next, everyone looked at the next mural, which still depicted the same person wearing a ferocious mask.

The background looks almost identical to the first mural.

But at the foot of the mountain, many small figures were drawn, all kneeling on the ground, seemingly worshipping or begging for mercy; in any case, they looked quite devout.

However, the monster mask worn by the person walking on the mountaintop gives off a very eerie feeling.

"What kind of nonsense is this? Who in the martial arts world would do something like this? Is this some kind of cult?" Yi Qianxiao complained again.

However, everyone then very consciously continued to look at the third mural.

The person wearing a monster mask and a cloak had arrived in front of a huge pavilion and seemed to want to enter it.

The attic was very high, and this person looked as insignificant as an ant in front of it.

The last mural depicts a person wearing a monster mask, whose limbs are chained to a boulder, rendering him unable to move!

It's clear that this person is dead.

Everyone was confused.

"Ahem..." Ming Gui coughed, feeling that his time to shine had come, and immediately said loudly, "Ah Li, do you also not understand? Then let me summarize it for you."

"This mural reveals a piece of information: long, long ago, there was a peerless master in the martial arts world who liked to wear a mask! This master loved to climb mountains, and whenever he climbed a mountain, the people he encountered would worship him as a god! Of course, this was only because these rustic villagers were ignorant. In the end, this master entered a pavilion in the mountains, and then he was killed by the owner of the pavilion and chained up!"

As he spoke, Ming Gui glanced at Jia Daoshi with a hint of smugness, then looked at Shen Li: "Ah Li, no need to think about it anymore. The content of this mural is exactly as I described. This young general recognized it at a glance."

Shen Li said calmly, "Then who is this person wearing a mask? Who is the owner of the pavilion? Why would the owner of the pavilion want to kill him? Why did he go to this pavilion?"

Ming Gui: "This..."

A series of questions left Minggui completely bewildered.

After hesitating for a long time, Ming Gui still couldn't figure it out, so he could only laugh awkwardly and say, "This may just be the artist's imagination. There are so many masters in the martial arts world, but I've never seen anyone who can fly on a mountain. Don't you think so? In my opinion, maybe the craftsmen who built this underground palace got bored and just drew something on it randomly."

“These marks must have been left by a master swordsman, not an ordinary craftsman!” Yuan Jin’er suddenly said.

"In the martial arts world, who likes to wear a mask on their face and a cloak on their back?" Jia Daoshi asked with curiosity.

This outfit, to be honest, was pretty silly, reminding him of Batman.

"I can't remember." Yi Qianxiao shook her head. "I need to go home and look through the old stories of the martial arts world in the library."

Wu Qingye also shook his head: "I don't know."

"Alright, that's all for now. Let's move on to the next place."

On another note, Jia Daoshi was also somewhat disappointed. He had thought he would find some useful clues here, but in the end, it turned out to be some swordsman's self-indulgent creation.

Since they couldn't find any useful clues here, Jia Daoshi led the group deeper into the Six Paths Thousand Machines Tower.

Anyway, as long as Jia Daoshi, the master of mechanical devices, is present, all the traps on the road can be solved one by one.

The journey was easy and enjoyable.

Yi Qianxiao didn't even have the chance to use the mechanical umbrella that Jia Daoshi specially made for her.

Once again left out, Ming Gui could only follow behind the others with a resentful expression.

There are many, many secret rooms like the one we just saw, where books are hidden.

These stone chambers are traps, waiting for martial arts practitioners to enter and meet their deaths.

Inside, there might be some ordinary secret manuals, some boxes filled with gold and silver treasures, or some divine weapons.

Those martial arts practitioners who are unfamiliar with mechanisms and who venture in will either be suffocated by poisonous gas, pierced by arrows, or torn apart by venomous insects if they trigger the mechanisms...

To describe this treasure hunt in four words, it would be: heavy casualties!

At the same time, in the very core of the Six Paths Thousand Machines Tower, in a small secret room.

Several men in black were standing there!
