After Hua Ruge finished reading, he said: "I'm just bragging, and I don't know if it's true or not. There's nothing much to be said, let's continue moving forward."
"Even though it is like this, this kind of mural cannot be painted anywhere. There should be a deity statue here." Tuoba Rui analyzed.
Jun Tianxia nodded: "Let's go in and take a look."
The group continued to walk along the path. After walking up and down for a while, they realized that the field of vision had widened. After taking a few detours, their eyes suddenly lit up.
In front of him appeared a underground palace, with four high hanging Illuminating Pearl s, the entire palace was shining brightly, there was a Light God statue at the very front, but also a simple table arrangement, there was an old praying mat at the bottom, it seemed like someone was meditating inside.
The size of the underground palace wasn't as big as the little deity from before, and the Fiery God Sculpture was also very small. Even though it was a shrine, it didn't look as if it was worth anything.
Hua Ruge felt that Su Nianxia was watching by the side and had helped him to start inspecting the various places in the Divine Palace. However, other than a door, there was nothing else.
They stared at the door, unsure whether to open it or not.
"Looks like this is the only way out. If I don't open it, I can only go back. There's no other choice." Tuoba Rui said as he stepped forward and reached for the door.
Hua Ruge moved closer to Tuoba Rui, ready to take action the moment he discovered danger.
The rest of the people were also nervously staring at him.
"Creak!"
The bronze door made a slight grinding sound, and the next moment, the door was opened.
The moment the door was opened, everyone felt a gust of cold wind blow in. At first glance, it was completely dark.
Tuoba Rui held Hua Ruge and retreated, his gaze never leaving the door.
However, after half an hour passed, there was still no movement from outside the door.
"Looks like there's no mechanism here." Su Nianxia said from the side.
Hua Ruge carefully observed for a moment, and said: "This is just like when we came; it's also a path. Just now, a breeze blew in, meaning that this place is not far from the door."
"Then let's go out, there's only the statue, there's nothing to look at." Su Nianxia said.
Jun Tianxia said, "I feel that something is amiss here."
"Indeed, deities are worshipped by people. The more conspicuous the place is, the more vigorous the incense is. How could it be placed in the underground palace?" Hua Ruge answered.
"Maybe we should take a look and see what other traps there are." Tuoba Rui said.
The few of them stopped, and Jun Tianxia instructed the cloaked man to search around the room.
Hua Ruge stroked his chin, and muttered as he walked: "Since it doesn't make sense, then why build it?"
Su Nianxia walked to the bottom of the deity statue, bored out of her mind, and started playing with the lotus flower shaped lamp.
"Hiss!"
She sucked in a breath of cold air and retracted her hand. At this moment, her index finger had already been cut by the sharp edge of the lotus flower, leaving behind two drops of blood.
She did not put on airs and simply wiped it with a handkerchief before continuing to look at the other items.
Everyone's attention was not on her side, and no one noticed that after Su Nianxia turned around, the light had gradually absorbed her blood.
"Since it isn't placed here to wait for people to pay their respects, then it must be placed here to hide it from others." Hua Ruge boldly guessed: "Then is there something hidden inside?"
Tuoba Rui nodded: "This is the most likely scenario. Let's take a closer look."
After Hua Ruge received the acknowledgement, his eyes locked onto the statue of the God. Everyone seemed to have an indescribable reverence towards the gods, so this must be the most secretive place.
"Sorry." Hua Ruge said to the idol, and then flew up to the altar, touching it.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, but since they were already used to it, they didn't say anything.
Su Nianxia on the other hand, stared at it with curiosity.
"That's strange, logically speaking, no one has been here for hundreds of years, how come there's not even a speck of dust?" Hua Ruge patted the head of the statue and said in astonishment.
"Elder sister Ru Ge, are you looking for a mechanism to wipe off the dust or something?" Su Nianxia reminded them from below.
"Don't worry, I'm looking for it." Hua Ruge said as he touched all over.
When she touched the flame in Light God's hand, she stopped, her expression somewhat surprised.
"What's wrong?" Tuoba Rui asked below.
Hua Ruge did not reply, but gently twisted the cluster of flames.
"Creak!"
The sound of stone scraping against stone suddenly came from the palace. It was very clear.
Su Nianxia pointed to the bottom of the statue and said: "Here, is a door."
The bottom of the stone statue was made of stone. If he didn't open the mechanism like this, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
Hua Ruge clapped his hands and laughed: "There really is one."
"You're amazing. Come down." Tuoba Rui said lovingly as he stood below the god statue and opened up his arms.
Hua Ruge laughed, and then jumped down from the stage and was held in his arms right now.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jun Tianxia said hoarsely, and then walked in, because the statue was extremely tall, the door was very big, and he did not even need to bend over when entering.
Su Nianxia also followed him in.
"Then let's go in as well." Hua Ruge said.
"Yes." As Tuoba Rui said this, he couldn't help but place a kiss on her forehead.
As soon as Hua Ruge walked in, he was dazzled by the light. When he got used to it, he could see that it was full of treasures.
This was a sealed secret room, and the ceiling was decorated with Night Pearls.
Illuminating Pearl were not made from fish eyes, they were the so-called fish eye balls that were not worth much money, and the Night Pearl was a priceless treasure.
At the bottom, there was a meticulously crafted display stand. All of the items there were rare and precious treasures. If one were to take one out, it would be enough for an ordinary person to live a life of luxury and pleasure.
This was not the most eye-catching thing. The most eye-catching thing was the two piles of crystals on the other side.
Not only could it be used as a currency, it could also be directly absorbed by the Battle Master into his own energy. One piece could be equivalent to a thousand gold coins, and there were more than ten thousand pieces here, all of them were high-grade.
The other pile of multi-colored crystals were called magic crystals. They were essential items in the Soul Master's magical equipment and were natural minerals that contained elemental energy. It was said that one could cultivate two to three times faster on these stones.
Compared to those rare treasures, this was the treasure that cultivators yearned for in their dreams.
Hua Ruge's eyes and mouth were wide open, he had lost control of himself and walked around the secret room, looking at all these things, he almost drooled.1
Su Nianxia had the same expression. After all, he had never seen so many good things at the same time before.
Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia, on the other hand, had calm, and even some disappointment on their faces.
Although these things were precious, they could be exchanged with money. Moreover, they weren't things that were lacking in status, so they weren't that rare.
The cloaked man also went out after a round. The pill refiner and runemaster that Jun Tianxia brought along also followed along. It was unknown if they were not interested or if they knew that these things would belong to their master and not themselves.
