Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 329 The treasure is found!
"Qingyi Building, everyone assemble!"

Liang Jin's voice was like thunder, and its sound resounded all around like a huge bell.

In an instant, all the warriors ran over from all directions and quickly gathered around Liang Jin.

At this moment, the leaders of the three major sects all focused their eyes on Liang Jin with sharp gazes.

But seeing their serious expressions, they suddenly stood up and asked Liang Jin in a deep voice:
"Master Meng, where are you going?"

That scrutinizing gaze was like that of a sharp hawk, as if it wanted to see through Liang Jin's inner thoughts.

Liang Jin's heart suddenly trembled, and he keenly caught the faint murderous intent.

Three faint, yet piercing murderous auras quietly emanated from the three sect leaders, like three poisonous snakes hidden in the darkness, locking onto him.

Liang Jin couldn't help but sneer in his heart, cursing in his heart:

"What a cunning bunch of old men!"

He naturally understood that the three masters would never allow him to leave at this moment.

Four forces gathered here, checking and balancing each other, just like four forces pulling an invisible net, maintaining a delicate and fragile balance.

If one party rashly withdraws without authorization, once the treasure is revealed, the remaining three parties will inevitably engage in a brutal fight for the treasure, and ultimately end up with all three parties suffering losses.

In this way, the party that leaves early can reap the benefits and collect all the treasures without any effort.

Therefore, in this delicate situation, anyone who attempts to escape alone at this moment would be tantamount to openly declaring war on the other three parties and would inevitably face their joint siege.

At this moment, Liang Jin understood in his heart.

If he insisted on leaving, I'm afraid the three leaders would not hesitate to put aside their past grudges, work together to eliminate him first, and then start a fierce fight for the treasure among the three parties.

He knew he couldn't leave, but he didn't want to confront the powerful enemy of the Black Dragon Kingdom too early and fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

At that moment, Liang Jin pointed his hand towards the huge cave leading to the abandoned mausoleum and said loudly:
"The treasures in the cave are of great importance. I must personally see them being taken out before I can rest assured!"

"No one should attempt any conspiracy or trickery! And don't even think about touching my share of Qingyi Tower!"

Everyone in Qingyi Tower had coveted the treasure for a long time. The words of the tower owner were like a spring breeze, instantly igniting the desire in their hearts, which was exactly what everyone wanted.

In an instant, everyone in Qingyi Tower drew their weapons from their waists, sharp blades came out of their sheaths, and cold light flashed.

They stood behind Liang Jin without hesitation, their postures upright, like rows of solid city walls, to show their firm determination to go through fire and water and fight to the death for Liang Jin.

Liang Jin didn't even wait for the three leaders to respond, he waved his hand and said decisively:

"Follow me in!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped straight into the deep cave.

The rest of the Qingyi Tower disciples followed closely behind, filing in like a black torrent.

The three leaders watched Liang Jin and his group slowly walk into the abandoned mausoleum. A subtle hint of meaning flashed in their eyes, and they all nodded slightly.

In their eyes, as long as Liang Jin did not lead Qingyi Tower away alone, there was nothing to be afraid of.

What's more, he actually took the initiative to step into this abandoned mausoleum, which was like walking into a trap.

Isn't he afraid that the three masters will block the passage outside and trap him, making it impossible for him to escape?

In this way, Liang Jin's threat level is naturally greatly reduced.

Ming Cangwu turned his head slightly and gave a subtle look to the right demon envoy Heijiu.

The right demon envoy Black Eagle understood what he meant, moved slightly, and was about to stand up to receive the order.

at this time.

The Left Demon Envoy Leng You suddenly took a few light steps, stood up gracefully, and said respectfully and firmly:

"Master, this matter is of great importance, please let me go."

Ming Cangwu's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a little thought, he finally waved his hand gently and agreed to her request.

Then the Left Demon Envoy Leng Youlian hurriedly followed Liang Jin and shouted loudly in a clear voice:

"Master Meng, please wait for me for a moment."

"I heard the mechanisms inside are intricate and complex. I have some knowledge of mechanisms and would like to help you break them."

After saying that, she brought along a few agile disciples and, like a shadow, stepped into the mysterious cave.

Ming Cangwu turned his gaze towards the Right Demon Envoy Black Eagle again, his expression indifferent, and said in a calm voice:

"Go and get me the fine tea I've treasured for years. Don't delay."

The right demon envoy, Black Eagle, understood, bowed slightly, stood up immediately, and walked steadily towards the valley entrance.

at this time.

The Bull-Headed Vajra King of the Infinite Vidyaraja Sect clasped his hands together, slowly stood up, his face full of compassion, and chanted:

"Amitabha."

"I sense the heavy gloom within this mausoleum, and the numerous deceased souls. I feel pity for them and wish to go and pray for their salvation, to avenge their grievances."

After he finished speaking, he walked slowly with steady steps into the abandoned mausoleum filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

However, the Infinite Dharma King was still like an ancient statue, sitting cross-legged quietly on the lotus platform, with his eyes closed, a peaceful expression, and chanting scriptures in his mouth.

He seemed to be deaf and indifferent to everything happening around him, immersed in his own world.

Bai Qiuying, the leader of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes were like a wolf in the cold night, cold and vigilant, and he watched everything quietly.

Cangdu subconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand, his knuckles turning white. He also vaguely sensed an unusual sense of tension quietly spreading in this silent atmosphere.

Originally, with the strength of their Great Snow Mountain Sect, it would not be difficult to deal with these situations.

However, the unfortunate death of Wang Zhi, a third-rank master, undoubtedly caused great damage to the strength of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, and its vitality has yet to recover.

As a result, Bai Qiuying and Cang can only keep their troops in place for the time being, watch and wait for the opportunity.

Aina sat at the table, frowning as she looked at Liang Jin's back, as if she couldn't understand Liang Jin's decision to go into the cave.

the other side.

Inside the mausoleum.

Liang Jin led everyone slowly along the winding corridor.

The further they went in, the wider the space became, as if a mysterious underground world was slowly unfolding before their eyes.

Obviously, the skilled craftsmen who built this place at that time cleverly utilized this naturally formed underground cave, and carefully designed and transformed it, making the interior space appear extremely spacious and grand.

The high cave ceiling is inlaid with fluorite and mica. These gems emit a faint glow, like stars.

Although there are many traces of artificial buildings in this huge cave, it is not difficult to see that these buildings have only undergone simple processing and have been ruthlessly abandoned and dilapidated before they have had time to be finely carved.

There are also many mechanisms along the way, but they are all relatively simple.

The disciples of the Star Demon Sea carefully cleared the way in front. With their rich experience and superb skills, these mechanisms were easily cracked one by one.

at last.

Everyone came to two wide and heavy stone doors.

The stone gate is simple and solemn, with some mysterious patterns carved on the surface, as if guarding the secret behind the door.

Behind the door is a mechanism called "self-flowing stone", and several disciples of the Star Demon Sea are concentrating on cracking it.

Their expressions were focused, their tools moving nimbly between the cracks in the stone with deft and precise movements. Liang Jin stood in front of the stone door, knowing that behind it lay the treasure house where the so-called "treasure" was stored.

Once this door is opened, the legendary "treasure" will see the light of day again, unveiling its mysterious veil.

At this time, many people had gathered in front of the stone gate, including disciples from the three major sects.

But now the Qingyi Tower has a large number of people and is like an unstoppable torrent. Everyone rushed forward and soon pushed the disciples of the three major sects aside.

Those disciples who were pushed to the edge showed expressions of unwillingness and helplessness on their faces.

Leng You stood lightly beside Liang Jin. She bowed slightly and introduced him softly:

"Master Meng, based on our years of experience exploring ancient tombs, we can tell that behind this door lies the final chamber of this abandoned mausoleum."

"If there is a treasure, it must be hidden in it."

As Leng You spoke, he calmly pulled the lazy Mi Qianmeng behind him to his front, intending to let her show her face in front of Liang Jin more.

Mi Qianmeng pouted slightly, but did not resist.

Liang Jin noticed Liu Yuan beside him. Her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with a complex expression of expectation and nervousness.

He knew very well that what Liu Yuan cared about was not the possible gold and silver treasures, but the stone tablet inside.

At that moment, Liang Jin's expression was serious and he gave a decisive order:

"Once you enter the house, I won't interfere with anything you do."

"But no one is allowed to touch the stone tablet inside. Anyone who violates this order will be severely punished!"

When everyone heard this, they all clasped their fists in acceptance and responded in unison:

"I will follow the orders of the host!"

Liu Yuan also cast a grateful look at Liang Jin, which was full of deep gratitude and trust.

At this moment, the disciples of Star Demon Sea shouted excitedly:

"Alright! The mechanism has been successfully broken!"

"Everyone, stand back and be careful, we're about to open the door!"

Liang Jin waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back.

The disciples of Star Demon Sea took a deep breath and worked together to push the two heavy stone doors.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull and heavy sound, as if the earth was shaking, the stone door slowly opened.

At this moment, everyone present held their breath involuntarily, their hearts seemed to be in their throats, and they were unable to suppress their excitement.

The scene behind the stone gate finally appeared before everyone's eyes bit by bit.

The disciples of the Star Demon Sea held up torches and shone them inside. The flickering flames instantly illuminated the space behind the door.

The space behind the stone gate is extremely spacious, like a magnificent underground palace.

Several sturdy pillars support the hall steadily. Exquisite patterns are carved on the pillars. Although they have gone through the vicissitudes of time, the glory of the past can still be vaguely seen.

The hall was filled with large boxes.

There are so many of these large wooden boxes, stacked up layer by layer, like a towering hill.

The large wooden boxes were all sealed with seals on which the official seal of Daqian could be clearly seen.

However, some of these seals have been damaged and look dilapidated due to the erosion of time; some are still well preserved, as if telling of their former majesty.

"hiss!!!"

Seeing so many wooden boxes, everyone gasped.

Then, their eyes instantly lit up like stars, sparkling with greed and excitement.

"Treasure!!!"

"These are the treasures left behind by Daqian when he plundered the Western Desert!!!"

“With so much treasure, we’re rich!!!”

“I’ve really made a fortune!!!”

At this moment, everyone went completely crazy.

They rushed into the hall like a tide, desperately rushing towards the large wooden boxes.

Some people shouted excitedly, and some people had fanatical glints in their eyes, as if they saw endless wealth beckoning to them.

Liu Yuan also walked quickly into the hall, with Liang Jin following closely beside her.

Liu Yuan was not attracted by those tempting big wooden boxes, but walked straight to the end of the hall.

At the end of the hall, there are more than a dozen large stone tablets.

These stone tablets seem to have been weathered by the years, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere. They must have been original to this abandoned mausoleum.

However, the inscription on it is very new and looks like it was carved only in the last two or three years.

Liu Yuan's body trembled slightly, as if carrying endless emotions.

She slowly walked to the stone tablet, stretched out her slender fingers, gently stroked the inscriptions, and tears fell involuntarily.

The tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the stone tablet, as if telling the stone tablet the story of the past.

Liang Jin took a closer look and saw the inscription:
"I led the Liu Family Army, tasked with transporting the Daqian treasury silver from the Western Desert back to our homeland. However, halfway through our journey, we were suddenly ambushed by enemy forces. With a blockade in front and pursuers behind, we had no way to escape. Desperate to protect the silver, we had no choice but to enter this abandoned mausoleum to store our belongings. Unexpectedly, upon opening the boxes, we found no silver, only stones. Where is justice? Our Liu Family Army has braved life and death, shedding blood and lives, only to be transported nothing but stubborn stones. This is a wrath of heaven and man! With our escape uncertain, our fate hangs in the balance. We can only leave the evidence here, hoping for justice in the future and the exoneration of our Liu Family Army."

"Everyone in the Liu Family Army, please leave your names as witnesses: Liu Zhan, Liu Xiang, Tan Zehua, Lian Sui, Yang Xinghan..."

On the stone tablets at the back, names were densely carved, and those names were like stars, covering more than a dozen large stone tablets.

A rough count shows that there are at least tens of thousands of them.

Each name represents a soldier who fought bravely to protect the treasury silver.

Liang Jin looked at the contents on the stone tablet and had a general understanding in his mind.

What was described in the stone tablet should be what happened when the Daqian Dynasty evacuated the Western Desert two years ago.

At that time, a general led the army to escort all the treasury silver back to Daqian. These large wooden boxes were all sealed. Due to the law, the general could not tear off the seals to open them for inspection, so he led everyone to transport these heavy wooden boxes on the difficult return journey.

Unexpectedly, the news leaked halfway and the army was ambushed by the enemy.

The general had difficulty in transporting so much treasury silver and found it difficult to escape pursuit. For the sake of his soldiers' lives, he had no choice but to make a helpless move and ordered his men to temporarily place all the treasury silver in this abandoned tomb.

But who could have imagined that at this time they unexpectedly discovered that these sealed large wooden boxes contained not silver from the treasury, but a pile of stones.

The general, overcome with grief and indignation, sighed to the heavens, knowing he was now hopelessly trapped. To preserve evidence and clear his own name and that of his fellow soldiers, he left the treasury silver here and recorded the events in detail on a stone tablet, having the entire army sign their names as witnesses.

Afterwards, the army must have left with a heart full of grief, indignation and helplessness.

These silver treasury coins have been sealed here for many years and have only seen the light of day today.

"Liu Family Army..."

Liang Jin stroked his chin and looked at Liu Yuan thoughtfully.

At this time, Liu Yuan was sitting on the ground, stroking the stone tablet, crying inconsolably, and even her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Could she be a descendant of the Liu family army?"
