Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Lin Feng's chest rose and fell slightly as he moved his feet.

He was eager to see the scene depicted later.

In the second mural, the eight horses set off again, pulling an emperor sitting in a carriage away from Kunlun Mountain.

The emperor in the mural is looking back reluctantly in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

Amidst the clouds and mist of Kunlun Mountain, a woman dressed in palace attire stands faintly, seemingly bidding farewell.

Above the carriage, twelve points of light floated and rotated around it.

At first glance, they look like twelve shooting stars.

"His Highness King Zhou said that King You of Zhou brought the Wuji Flower from Kunlun Mountain to the Central Plains."

"From then on, the Boundless Flower took root in the Central Plains, matching this mural once again, but..."

Lin Feng frowned slightly, raised the lamp higher to observe carefully, and found that the woman in the clouds and mist of Kunlun Mountain was somewhat strange.

The shadow behind her was not human-shaped, but rather resembled some kind of terrifying beast!

The beast's shadow was as large as a small mountain, indistinct and extremely terrifying.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountains Classic, records: The Queen Mother of the West has the appearance of a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, and is good at howling. She has disheveled hair and wears a headdress.

The myths and legends of the Great Qian Dynasty, in which Lin Feng lived, differed from the Chinese legends he knew in some details.

For example, he remembered that in the original Chinese mythology, it was not King You of Zhou who traveled to Kunlun Mountain and met the Queen Mother of the West.

However, in this world, it was King You of Zhou who traveled the world and met the Queen Mother of the West.

He looked closely, and the beastly figure didn't look like a leopard at all. It seemed more like some kind of winged beast. In short, it was strange and inexplicable.

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out in a short time, Lin Feng decisively chose to walk towards the third mural.

In the third mural, the Wuji Flower brought back by King You of Zhou has already taken root throughout the land.

There are twelve places where the Wuji Flower grows, and magnificent palaces have been built in each of them.

Outside the palace, countless believers were worshipping, offering gold and silver treasures, and the incense was burning brightly.

Above the palaces, auspicious clouds and elixirs appeared.

Auspicious clouds brought elixirs down to earth, and the believers consumed them.

It can be seen that those who have taken the "elixir" are all in a state of blissful ecstasy, completely intoxicated.

"A palace was built in a place where the Boundless Flower grows, and there are still believers there?"

Lin Feng stroked his chin and analyzed softly, "Could it be that they're using the Boundless Flower to swindle and concoct so-called 'elixirs' to deceive believers?"

Even now, there are still many such tricks in the world, using so-called "divine methods" to swindle money and sex.

Lin Feng doesn't believe there are any miracle cures in the world.

If there truly were an elixir of immortality, would emperors throughout history have died?

Thinking of this, he strolled toward the last mural, only to encounter an extremely bizarre scene.

The mural depicts the Great Zhou Dynasty engulfed in war.

Of the twelve Wuji Flower Palaces, nine were destroyed in the war, while the remaining three remained intact.

Above the three palaces, floating were the Wuji Flower and three women dressed in Tai Chi robes.

The woman wore a black and white Taoist robe, her face covered by a white veil, with a bright red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

Three women are merging with the Boundless Flower!

The mural was painted using a technique that moves from the real to the abstract, and in the end, the woman in the Tai Chi robe merges with the Wuji flower.

A human face appeared on the Wuji Flower and then slowly rose into the air!

It actually broke through the clouds and flew up to the heavenly palace above the boundless clouds!

"What does this mean? Ascension to immortality?"

"Can a person become an immortal by merging with the Wuji Flower?"

Lin Feng shook his head repeatedly, finding it both terrifying and absurd.

"That's utter nonsense. How can a person blend in with flowers?"

"It seems that the person who built this place was so obsessed with immortality that they daydreamed about living forever."

He took out a hammer and began tapping on the wall, looking for any hidden mechanisms.

"Immortality is nothing but an illusion. I went through so much trouble to get in here, not to listen to your stories."

"If I find nothing, don't blame me for chiseling up your mural and selling it for money!"

Lin Feng was just saying that out of anger. The underground palace beneath Black Dragon Pool is extremely mysterious, and who knows what secrets might be hidden behind the bronze gate.

The murals here should not be moved out and seen by others, as it could easily cause trouble.

He knocked and tapped for a while, knocking on every single blue brick in the main hall.

However, there was no hollow space inside the blue bricks, and no trace of any mechanism.

"Oh no! I've come all this way, am I really going to leave empty-handed?"

Having finally arrived here, Lin Feng was naturally unwilling to give up.

After much thought, he set his sights on the four stone pillars with coiled dragon carvings.

Lin Feng entered by striking the black dragon statue's reverse scale. Could it be that... the dragon's reverse scale also holds a hidden secret?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng walked towards the stone pillar.

The dragon relief on the stone pillar and the black dragon in the pool are strikingly similar.

Its design is simple yet grand, and lifelike.

However, due to its size, the coiled dragon relief does not have the same imposing presence as the black dragon statue.

Lin Feng reached out and touched the reverse scale of the coiled dragon relief, then gently tapped it twice with a hammer.

"Clang! Clang!"

The sound is crisp and clear, and it seems to have a hollow design inside.

Lin Feng instantly perked up and began to strike the sensitive spot with increasing force using the hammer.

"Click!"

A sound of a mechanism turning came from the reverse scale of the stone carving, and it dented in.

Lin Feng held his breath and listened carefully, but there was no further sound.

"It seems that touching one sore spot is not enough; the other three reliefs also need to be pressed down."

Seeing that his strategy was effective, Lin Feng immediately went to the other three stone pillars and pushed the dragon's reverse scale in.

"Click!"

As the reverse scale of the last coiled dragon stone carving caved in, a rhythmic sound of rotating mechanisms echoed throughout the hall.

Lin Feng picked up his sword and shield and carefully observed his surroundings.

What awaits him may be treasure, or it may be danger!

The image of the woman opening the door and shooting out a poisoned crossbow bolt is still vivid in my mind; I cannot be careless.

The sound of the mechanism turning lasted for about the time it takes to drink two cups of tea before gradually subsiding.

"boom--"

"boom--"

The murals on the left and right sides suddenly moved to the sides, revealing two secret chambers hidden behind the rock walls and murals.

The secret chamber was ingeniously designed. Lin Feng had been looking at the murals for a long time but had not noticed any gaps between the two murals.

Lin Feng looked around and went to the secret room on the left first.

The secret chamber on the left is about five zhang long and wide, and inside are rows of neatly arranged stone carving shelves.

Lin Feng lit the wall lamp and walked closer to the stone shelf to take a look.

On the shelf were small, square wooden boxes, which looked quite ordinary from the outside.

"A secret chamber was built mysteriously, but things inside are stored in stones and ordinary wooden boxes. What could be hidden there?"

Lin Feng touched the nearest wooden box twice with the Cheng Ying sword to make sure there were no traps before carefully opening it.

Under the dim light, the contents of the seemingly ordinary wooden box shone with a golden brilliance, dazzling and captivating.

"Gold...gold?!"

Inside the wooden box, twenty gold coins were neatly arranged!

Lin Feng picked up a gold ingot and examined it. The gold ingot was well-made and had a smooth surface.

However, there were no carved characters or anything like that on it, so it was impossible to tell where it came from.

He weighed it in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

"I'm rich! I'm fucking rich!"

A gold ingot weighs approximately ten taels.

Based on the value of gold and silver in the Daqian, Beiman, and Daliao kingdoms, one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to ten strings of copper coins or ten thousand copper coins.

The gold ingot in Lin Feng's hand was worth one hundred taels of silver, and there were twenty gold ingots in this small wooden box!

Two thousand taels of silver!

Lin Feng couldn't wait to walk over to the other small wooden boxes, and when he opened them, they were all filled with a golden glow!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Even with his deep thoughts and usual composure, Lin Feng couldn't help but get carried away with his pride at this moment.

There were countless small wooden boxes inside the secret room, so Lin Feng wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life!
