Chapter 967: Searching for the Hidden Cellar

Chen Chuan knew very well that Xu Mutang said this to him both out of genuine gratitude and as a compromise to reality.

Who will own this secret treasure ultimately depends on the use of force.

He would probably also think that if he said that the things here belonged to him, then he would have no ability to stop it, so he might as well just be calm.

He said, "I want to ask, Chief Inspector Xu, which party are you representing when you come here to pick it up this time? Yourself, the Municipal Council, or the Government Affairs Office?"

When Xu Mutang heard him ask this, he thought for a moment before trying to ask, "I just saw Director Chen use a move that seemed to be from the Pure School?"

Chen Chuan had nothing to hide about this, and it was no secret. He said, "Yes, I am a member of the Purity Faction."

Xu Mutang nodded and said, "To be honest with you, Director Chen, I am a member of the implantation faction."

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly and he looked at Xu Mutang. The implant school was also one of the five major schools, and many of its members were those who advocated implant technology.

A considerable number of them are bioengineers and technical experts, and of course there are more advanced implant fighters. However, when he looked at Xu Mutang, it seemed that he did not use many implants.

Xu Mutang said: "Although I didn't use any additional implants, I actually made a set of adjustments to the alienated tissues when I was in the third limit.

This is a technology that takes out the defective alienated tissues from my body, cultivates and adjusts them separately, and then re-implants them, so that some innate deficiencies can be artificially compensated. However, the technology here requires very high conditions and considerable resources. It will also take a long time to track and adjust the technology, which requires the investment of national power.

Until now, I am still involved in this research project, but now in China only state-owned enterprises and governments are allowed to do this.

I personally think that with the advancement of technology, implants are our future, and they can help many people who don’t have the talent or ability to embark on this path.”

At this point, he sighed, "The outside world usually thinks that we are a group of implant and transformation madmen. In fact, many members who join the implant group do not do exaggerated implant transformation. The emphasis on concepts is often more important than physical transformation."

He looked at Chen Chuan again and said sincerely, "I heard before that Jibei Dao is currently promoting the Skyline Project. Both myself and the Longyou Dao Government Affairs Office believe that the Skyline Project is the general trend. Only by integrating all the central cities of Dashun can technology and resources be fully and centrally utilized, so as to cope with the big bombing. So we are also waiting for such an opportunity."

Chen Chuan nodded. He could tell that this person was making his position clear to him.

People like Xu Mutang are actually more likely to gain the trust of the country because many of their things are actually tied to the country.

From a global perspective, the implant faction is the largest, but it is also the most scattered, with too many different ideas. There are actually some implant factions in the company, but they are completely contrary to Xu Mutang. However, in China, many people have a relatively clear position.

He said, "Inspector Xu, we don't know what the so-called secret treasure here is, and what is hidden inside, so we don't need to discuss the ownership issue first. You and I can go in and take a look first, and then we can talk about other things after we have the results. What do you think?"

After hearing what he said, Xu Mutang looked at him again to confirm that he was not being polite. He said, "Okay, since Director Chen said so, I will be bold."

After the two of them had agreed, they walked towards the main hall together.

Chen Chuan asked: "Inspector Xu, how much did you know about this secret treasure before? Can you tell us?"

Xu Mutang said: "These things are not important. Director Chen asked about this, and I can tell you the truth. Because this place is next to our Longyou Road, we have been studying this secret treasure for a long time and have collected a lot of information about this place in the old times.

In the past, many people focused their main attention on the imperial records, but with little success and almost no progress, so they turned their attention to the Wuwei School.

After the old times, many religious texts that had been hidden in secret were dug out from the corners. Later, there were indeed some breakthroughs.

After analyzing it, there are many arguments and inferences, which cannot be fully discussed in a short time, but most people believe that Wuwei Xuanshi is the one who arranged this secret treasure, which I personally agree with. "

Chen Chuan thought of the Taoist priest just now and said, "Does Emperor Ying trust this Taoist priest so much?"

Xu Mutang said: "It is said that Emperor Ying was able to ascend the throne because of the support of this Wuwei Xuanshi. It is also said that many of the things Emperor Ying did later that angered the heavens and the people were all due to the shadow of this Wuwei Xuanshi."

At this point, he was a little disapproving, "I personally think that Emperor Ying is such a vain person, he doesn't need anyone to instigate him, and throwing all the dirty water on Wuwei Xuanshi is just to defend him.

We can only conclude that Emperor Ying had been seeking a way to ascend to heaven. Perhaps because he was not talented enough, he could not follow the original path, so he had to attach himself to his brother's body. This step was probably intentionally guided by Wuwei Xuanshi, who forced him to come in. It is very likely that this person did something when Emperor Ying finally ascended to heaven, which led to Emperor Ying's death. We still don't know what he was going to do.

The expert group has been looking for this person's identity in the surviving religious texts, but no matter whether it is the texts of Wuwei Xuanjiao itself or other Xuanjiao sects, there is no description of this person, as if the whole person appeared out of thin air. This is actually a very incredible thing, especially for this person who almost influenced the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of the world, there is actually no decent record. I think these are likely to be erased artificially, or perhaps the later dynasties destroyed the files about this person in order to avoid such things from happening. "

Chen Chuan thought about it and decided that if Wuwei Xuanshi was the person who had just appeared, then judging from the words he left behind, his purpose was not just to kill Emperor Ying, but to get something more important.

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the hall and came to the seat where Yuwen Yuanqi had just sat.

Chen Chuanshuo said, "I just found it. There is only space below this seat in the hall. If there is a secret, it should be underneath it."

Xu Mutang agreed and said, "It should be correct. The records say that Emperor Ying built a pill cellar under the main hall to facilitate his cultivation and pill taking, so the secret treasure is likely hidden here."

He thought for a moment and said, "Director Chen, let me do it."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Xu Mutang felt it and looked down. Under the effect of the biological field on his body, the cushions and decorations were moved aside. A large stone slab appeared below, which was obviously different from the surrounding ones. It was about ten feet long and wide, and there was a picture of boys and girls offering elixirs carved on its surface.

He glanced at the pairs of innocent and lively boys and girls on the carvings and shook his head.

Then a light appeared in his eyes, and the stone slab slowly floated up and was also moved to the side. A staircase leading downwards was revealed underneath, and there was a faint light coming out from it.

The two nodded and walked in one after the other. When they reached the bottom, they found a row of steps leading down, which extended all the way down to a deeper place. They could faintly hear the hollow sound of water. Every few steps on both sides, there was a perpetual lamp hanging.

Because they were not sure whether there was anything else arranged here, and were afraid of accidentally damaging the things inside, the two of them did not look for any shortcuts and just went down the stairs.

Chen Chuan looked around and saw that the walls were engraved with pictures of seeking immortality and mysteries from ancient and medieval times, as well as various legends and anecdotes. However, the appearance of the protagonists was the same throughout, and somewhat similar to the face of Emperor Ying he had seen before, so he could roughly conclude that they were depicted based on his own appearance.

Just by looking at this, one can understand that Emperor Ying has become obsessed and fanatical about seeking immortality to a certain extent.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Inspector Xu, the history books only say that Emperor Ying died from a lightning strike. Do you know the real cause of his death?"

Xu Mutang also saw the picture and said, "It is impossible to be sure about this. In fact, more rigorous experts cannot even confirm whether Emperor Ying died, because from the limited description, Emperor Ying was actually missing."

"disappeared?"

Xu Mutang said: "Yes, at that time, the hall was covered with blood. There was nothing left except Yuwen Yuanqi's body. There was no life in the whole hall. Therefore, Emperor Yingdi only had a cenotaph in the Emperor's Mausoleum at Dayeyuan. Later tomb robbers found that it was empty."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked again, "What about Wuwei Xuanshi? Emperor Ying is missing, what happened to him?"

Xu Mutang said: "When Emperor Ying died, the ministers believed that it was Wuwei Xuanshi who deceived the emperor and caused the country to suffer this disaster. However, he was also missing at that time, so they believed that he was punished by heaven along with the previous emperor.

After the young emperor ascended the throne, he firmly denied this proposal, believing that Emperor Ying and Wuwei Xuanshi had successfully ascended to heaven together. In order to show filial piety and brotherhood, he followed Emperor Ying's instructions before his death and sent Yuwen Yuanqi's body to this secret storage, and sealed it according to the arranged ceremony. Less than three years later, the new dynasty was established. "

As they were talking, the two of them had probably gone down a few hundred meters and felt like they had reached the belly of the mountain. They had finally reached the bottom.

After turning to the front, they saw, under the lights, tall human figures standing or pretending to be in the niches on the mountain wall. At a quick glance, there were hundreds of them. When they looked again, they found that they were all statues of immortal gods of the Xuanjiao.

The two of them came into this huge cave hall, turned their feet, and looked around at the spectacular scene.

Xu Mutang walked to the next statue, went up and knocked on it, looked up with some surprise, and said, "This is made of gold and silver."

Chen Chuan stood below. He glanced around, his eyes lingering on a few statues, and said, "Not all of them."
