Chapter 455: Wonderful Taimiao Treasury
The Taimiao treasury of all countries in the Shenzhou Continent was all forbidden areas in the forbidden areas and could not be easily shown to people's location. However, Tianyou's identity determined that this so-called forbidden area was meaningless to him. The King of Chu agreed to his request without hesitation, and then ordered people to take Tianyou's tens of millions of treasurys.
With the handwriting of the King of Chu, the guards of the vault will naturally not block it. After a simple check, Tianyou was put into the vault.
Like Qin, the eunuch who was arranged by the King of Chu to lead the way was not allowed to enter the vault. After the guard agreed to release the situation, a small school in the vault guard was responsible for leading the way, leading Tianyou into the vault.
Although he has only participated in the national destiny mission once, Tianyou has seen three Taimiaos. Before, he discovered that although the outer buildings of the Taimiao in various countries are slightly different, the shapes are as if they were all from one person. Now when he saw the Taimiao of Chu, the same design is indeed the same. The defensive buildings on the outer side of the temple all have the characteristics of the Chu State, but the main hall of the Taimiao in the center is still the same. It can be said that it is the same as the Taimiao I saw in Zhao State, but it looks more beautiful because of its proper maintenance.
As the school entered the Taimiao together, he walked around the front screen wall and the altar table and went directly to the back of the hall. There was a clear entrance to the tunnel. Not only was there no cover, there were two tall warriors wearing guns and armor standing on both sides. Tianyou looked closely and saw that the bright spiritual power lines in the warrior's body were clearly distinguishable, and they were clearly two Taoist puppets.
Unlike the simplicity of the wooden Taoist puppet of Qin State, the Taoist puppet of Chu State is ten feet tall, full of armor, holding a tungsten steel cross gun that is more than one foot taller than itself. Just standing there is already a mighty man. Without walking or deliberately posing in a scary position, the timid will be afraid to approach just by standing there.
Of course, Tianyou would not be scared by a Taoist puppet, not to mention that the two Taoist puppets in front of him had not activated. Although they could see the spiritual power in their bodies was blocked from the core, which means they were not activated at all. Not to mention the defense vault, even if Tianyou went up to push it down now, they would not have any reaction.
In fact, it is reasonable to think that this military puppet is not activated. Although the gold bricks in the Taimiao Treasury are important, it is useless if ordinary people take them. There are already agreed rules between countries. Except for the national destiny mission, no one can think of the treasury of other countries, otherwise it will attract all forces on the entire Shenzhou Continent to besiege. Therefore, unless it is during the national destiny mission, this treasury usually does not need to be too careful. If all countries are not worried about accidents, they may not even leave the guards outside the door.
The school responsible for the guard of the vault did not know Tianyou's identity. Seeing him stopping and watching the Taoist puppet, he thought he was frightened by the momentum of the Taoist puppet, and couldn't help but brag a few words. Tianyou was not mentally retarded so that he immediately jumped up to clarify that he was not scared, but just responded to a few words to make the other party happy, and then followed him down the ladder between the two Taoist puppets.
The stairs are relatively deep, and after going down to the bottom, a pure copper door is erected ten steps forward. Because of the large weight, this door can only be moved by sliding rails. There are fine steel rails and guide wheels under the door, so at least two people need to use the winch on the wall at the same time to barely move.
Before opening the door, you have to unlock the lock first, and the method of unlocking is also very strange. The school shouted out first, and then the guard general outside used a special key to open the first lock in a hidden mechanism at the top of the Taimiao. Then a lockhole will be opened on the door in front of Tianyou.
When Tianyou came, the King of Chu personally took a wooden box under the dragon throne, and then chose a key from it and handed it to him. When the King of Chu opened the box, Tianyou clearly saw that at least 20 keys were lying side by side in two rows of lying side by side, with only the keys with different colors, with only the teeth at the front end.
Of course, a door does not require 20 keys. Tianyou probably must be some of them. Except for King Chu himself, most people can only try which one is the right key even if they get the box. What's more amazing is that Tianyou suspects that one of the 20 keys is not the only one of them is true.
The two keys of the door are set to open at different positions, and the two cannot see each other. This may mean that there is more than one key in the hands of the guard above, or more than one keyhole. In short, the guard may open the keyhole in different states according to a certain specific rule in different ways. Due to the differences in this method, the keys needed below will also change.
This is like a frequency hopping radio. The sender and receiver jump together according to the rules agreed in advance, and always work in the same frequency band. Those who want to monitor cannot keep up with the changes of the other party because they do not know this rule.
The King of Chu and the general should both know this rule, and then follow this rule to adopt something as the basis for "frequency hopping", and then replace the corresponding key and opening method at the same time.
If Tianyou had not received the permission of the King of Chu, he would not have got the correct key. Even if he came over with the whole box, there was only one-twentieth chance that he would have won the correct key. But this hope was undoubtedly very small, and the guards of the Taimiao could not let you try it one by one. Therefore, this lock-opening method is almost perfect. Without the answer from the King of Chu, you would have to attack the Taimiao and be unable to get into it.
Before, Tianyou heard that the number of gold bricks in Chu was the highest among the ten countries, so the door in front of him was probably a great contribution.
Looking at the key hole opened on the door, Tianyou inserted the key as explained by the King of Chu, gently turned it around for a while, and then pulled it out halfway. He could clearly feel something hooked on the front end of the key, and pulled it outwards. Then Tianyou continued to rotate it clockwise for half a circle, then inserted the key to the bottom, rotated it back half a circle, and then suddenly contracted inward, slid out of Tianyou's fingertips, and then completely penetrated into the keyhole.
Because King Chu did not say this before, Tianyou was shocked and almost thought that the gate was the same as the bank cash machine. If the wrong password was made, it would automatically swallow the card. Fortunately, the school next to him reminded him. As expected, it was similar to what Tianyou thought before. This is an anti-theft mechanism. After the key is started, it will be sucked into the door regardless of whether it is correct or not. Unless the correct key is opened with the correct key, all the keys will not come out. Moreover, because the wrong key will block the keyhole and lose a key, as long as it is made mistaken, it means that two groups of correct combinations have failed. Considering that there are only 20 keys in the box, it means that the door has only 10 attempts at most. If there are fake keys, the error tolerance rate will only be lower.
Of course, Tianyou's key was fine, so the door immediately slid to both sides with a rumble accompanied by the tremor of the ground.
"This door... is really heavy!" The earthquake-like tremor under your feet fully proved the weight of the two doors in front of you. Besides, even if you can't feel the vibration, you can tell that the door is absolutely impossible to light just by just a glance at the section of the copper door that is opened. After all, there is a blockage behind it.
The school next to him reached out to make a call, and after Tianyou took a step forward, he fell behind half a position and followed in.
The vault deep underground was pitch black, and only the slight light projected from the torches in the corridor behind could illuminate a small area at the door, but this did not affect Tianyou's observation of the terrain.
Unlike the several vaults I have seen before, there are no such things as a treasure rack or a stone platform in the vault of Chu. The huge vault is empty, and at first glance it looks like an empty room.
Tianyou was about to ask the school behind him, but he didn't expect to hear a cracking sound by the wall. The school seemed to have activated some kind of mechanism. Tianyou subconsciously squatted, not because of timidity, but out of caution. After all, seeing an empty vault was already suspicious. Now that he heard the other party activate the mechanism, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't react?
However, this time Tianyou was obviously over-thinking. As the primary school pulled the mechanism, a circle of torches inserted on the walls around the vault suddenly lit up one after another, quickly surrounding the vault, illuminating the entire space. It was not until this moment that Tianyou noticed the reason why the gold bricks were empty - it turned out that all the gold bricks were embedded in the walls and the ground.
Starting from the entrance, the ground of the entire vault and the surrounding walls are almost all composed of gold bricks. They are woven into a frame with copper strips to form crisscrossing flange lines, and then the gaps between the flange lines are filled with gold bricks. This is the method used by the Chu State vault to store gold bricks.
"This..." Tianyou was just a little surprised and soon realized the purpose of this design. Like the copper door outside, the method of paving the gold bricks is actually to prevent theft.
A brick is not a brick, it is the result of the materialization of luck. It has its own absolute attributes, that is, it is absolutely impossible to be destroyed and absolutely not affected by unnatural forces. A brief summary is just one word - hard.
In fact, in addition to being hard, there is another characteristic that everyone knows about - heavy.
Now, the Chu State treasury has embedded the heavy and hard gold bricks into the cracks that just match their shape. The edge of the cracks is not soil or bricks, but solid copper strips. What's more, the copper strips are extremely thin, that is, even if there is a way to destroy the copper strips and pull them out, the remaining space is only a thin crack.
The gold bricks are embedded in the frame made of copper strips, with no gaps next to them. Not to mention bare hands, even if you use eighteen weapons and a bunch of carpenter tools, you can't even try to pick out the gold bricks weighing more than 100 pounds from the cracks. The person who designed this thing is definitely a master, a master who cheats people.
Seeing the surprise in Tianyou's eyes, the school next to him also smiled proudly, "Hehe, you can't imagine it? You can't even get rid of this golden brick in the ground, no matter how you have the ability to be able to do it. In recent years, the national fortune mission has been attacked by monks from other countries into the Taimiao several times, but no one has ever brought out a golden brick. It's not the copper gate outside or the guards we wait for, but the small one in front of you... Hey, what are you doing?"
The little sister was proudly showing off the anti-theft design in the vault. Suddenly, Tianyou took out a pocket from his body, then took out something very strange in shape and pressed it on the surface of a gold brick. Then he exerted force with his arm and gently lifted it up. The gold brick that should have been embedded in the geography actually broke away from the ground and was slowly lifted out with the strange thing.
"I...you..." The school next to him was already surprised to speak incoherently. The clever design that had made countless young talents from other countries return in a defeated manner stumped countless monks, but was instantly solved by the person in front of him. How did this do it?
In fact, if someone else comes over, you will definitely be able to see the joints at a glance, because Tianyou doesn't use any black technology, it's just a large suction cup. The gold bricks are embedded in the ground, and they are deliberately made tightly around, just for fear that people will pry it out. But Tianyou doesn't use a crowbar, he is a suction cup, he doesn't use a gap at all, just suck it directly from above. As for how this suction cup comes from... it's actually made for something else.
Before, Tianyou often used various resources from Qingyuan Mountain to tinker with some medicines and other things. Others thought he was studying drugs, but in fact he was doing chemical experiments. Of course, because there was no professional equipment, experiments on it were more like trying various combinations randomly and recording the results. It is a type of knowing the truth but not the reason.
However, the materials used by Tianyou to make medicines will inevitably involve some poisons such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, and these things are often very corrosive. Ordinary wooden tables cannot withstand the erosion of these things, and even the stone tables are not much better. Moreover, the stone tables are too heavy, and it is indeed inconvenient to replace them from time to time because of damage. So he thought of burning some glass out, and then pouring it into an open mold to naturally sit. Anyway, what he needs is a flat surface, and as for whether the underside of the table is flat or transmittance, there is no need to worry about it.
This does not require the light transmittance to be made of glass plates, but Tianyou does not make tempered glass, so the glass plates are often broken. For convenience, Tianyou started mass-producing glass plates, and then considering that the cooling mold under the glass plates was finally knocked out and could not be mass-produced, Tianyou made another suction cup to facilitate the cutting of the molded glass plates. As for the material of the suction cups - anyway, Qingyuanshan has native rubber trees, so it is not easy to make a suction cup with handles?
The gold bricks originally embedded in the ground stumped countless young monks from other countries who came to grab the gold bricks, but in front of the suction cup, the gold bricks were easily lifted out.
Tianyou was anxious to study the gold bricks, but ignored the school and said, "Okay, you go out first. I want to stay here for one night and go out tomorrow morning. Remember to help me close the door."
The school was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went out. Anyway, it was the king's will to let Tianyou stay here for one night, so there was nothing to be controversial about. As for the reason why he left himself, he hurried to report the news.
The unethical design in the vault is the last line of defense that their vault guards have always talked about, but now this line of defense does not seem to be very reliable. Naturally, the school cannot pretend that such an important thing is not seen. Anyway, Tianyou has the will and doesn't have to worry about it, so he still thinks it is better to report the news as soon as possible.
The school hurriedly left the vault, but Tianyou checked the entire vault first and confirmed that the door was closed. No one would notice his actions before returning to the middle of the vault.
Taking a deep breath, Tianyou's thoughts turned, and the Xuanling Treasure Mirror in the Yuan Soul in the depths immediately emerged from Tianyou. After Tianyou's ears, Tianyou's consciousness changed again, and ripples like water waves appeared on the Xuanling Treasure Mirror, and a sharp sword tip emerged from the world inside the mirror.
However, the Emperor Dao Sword had just begun to emerge, and the entire vault was in chaos. The golden arc began to jump back and forth between the gold bricks. The gold bricks at the walls and corners of the vault were quite good and were relatively stable, but the gold bricks under his feet were already bumping and began to float upwards, looking like they could fly at any time.
Although he had already made a mess, Tianyou still underestimated the attraction between the Emperor Dao Sword and the Golden Brick. Now that the Emperor Dao Sword has just begun, the golden bricks under his feet are already eager to try to get out. If the entire sword comes out, then you have to suck the golden bricks in the entire vault?
Tianyou didn't want to be killed by the gold brick. The last time it was enough for him to suffer.
The thought changed and he quickly took the Emperor Dao Sword back into the Xuanling Treasure Mirror. He took a fancy to the golden brick that had calmed down again. Tianyou finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then he frowned again.
The gravitational effect between the golden brick and the Emperor Dao Sword is too strong. Once he takes out the Emperor Dao Sword, there will be chaos. But he specially requested to stay in the vault for one night, just to let the Emperor Dao Sword and the Golden Brick come into contact with each other? Wouldn't it be useless if he didn't take out the Emperor Dao Sword?
After thinking about it, Tianyou could only use a stupid method.
Take out the suction cup, suck out the gold bricks at the door one by one, and then transport them to the deepest part of the vault opposite to pile them together.
Tianyou didn't think about this idea carefully, and almost started to do it when he thought about it, but soon he realized that this method was not feasible.
In fact, Tianyou's idea is very simple. Since the Emperor Dao Sword and the Golden Brick will suck together like a magnet when they get too close, then let them stay away.
He originally wanted to pile all the gold bricks into a corner of the vault, and then summon the Emperor Dao Sword at the farthest corner. In this way, he could barely guarantee that he would not suck all the gold bricks in the vault at once.
This idea was really good, but Tianyou missed one thing - the weight of the gold bricks.
All gold bricks are cast according to unified standards, each weighing 116 kilograms, which is 58 kilograms. There are 25,001 gold bricks in the Chu State vault, which weighs 1,450 tons in total. Tianyou and Yueying want to pile all these gold bricks into a corner with the power of the two people, which is simply asking for trouble. Although some gold bricks are already in the corner without any effort, the gold bricks that need to be moved together will definitely exceed 1,000 tons. With such a large weight, even if Tianyou and Yueying's physical strength is monster-level, it is impossible to move them all in one night.
"No, it's definitely too late!" Yueying looked at Jiaorou. Her power was actually greater than Tianyou, but no matter how big it was, it was useless. The 25,000 gold bricks were not allowed to use magic. They were so exhausted that they could not finish moving before dawn.
In fact, there is no need for Yueying to remind Tianyou that he has noticed the problem, because he has only moved more than a thousand bricks and has already started to get a little breath. In this state, he probably has to be exhausted if he doesn’t reach five thousand yuan.
"Well, I know it won't work. But do you have any good solutions?"
Yueying was also a little embarrassed for a while, but both of them were very good at using their brains, but they soon came up with a solution.
In fact, Tianyou's method is very simple.
The Emperor Dao Sword only needs to contact directly when absorbing the power in the gold bricks, and there is no limit on the size of the contact point. So Tianyou’s method is to let the Xuanling Treasure Mirror cross over, rush down the mirror, and then stick it to the ground. Each time the Emperor Dao Sword is released, a sword tip is directly pressed against the gold brick below.
Because the gold bricks and the Emperor Dao Sword are in direct contact at this time, the absorption process can naturally run. And because the Emperor Dao Sword only comes out with a sharp point, the gravity is very small and it will not suck the gold bricks in the distance. At most, the nearby gold bricks are a little shaking, but they will not fly out by themselves.
After actually operating it, I found that this method works, Tianyou immediately started to operate it.
The exchange of energy between the Emperor Dao Sword and the gold bricks is quite fast, but it is 25,000 gold bricks after all, and the number is really quite large. Even if each gold brick takes 1 second, it will take more than six hours to suck it all. If Tianyou started doing this immediately as soon as he entered here today, there would be no problem. But the key is that he was moving bricks and trying to find a way here, which has been delayed a lot of time. It is less than three hours now by dawn.
Seeing that time was a little too late, Tianyou simply took the courage to speed up the speed and let the Emperor Dao Sword poke out a small piece of sword blade.
Because the volume of the Emperor Dao Sword increased, the attraction increased significantly. This time it was not the gold brick directly below, but wherever the Xuanling Treasure Mirror flew, a small area of gold bricks there would immediately fly up and rush towards the Emperor Dao Sword.
This method is fast enough, but the movement is really not small, and Tianyou and Yueying have to put the flying gold bricks back. Fortunately, the flying gold bricks are all nearby, so there is no need to be as troublesome as piled up in the corner of the wall. The only thing to worry about is whether the guards outside will rush in because of the movement in the vault.
In fact, just as Tianyou guessed, the guards outside really noticed the movement inside. However, the treasury was not in the main place, and even the guards did not dare to break in. So they started reporting the news as soon as they heard the sound, and then reported to the King of Chu layer by layer.
It was also a blessing that the school had exposed Tianyou's easy removal of the bricks, otherwise the King of Chu would have been resting at this time. As a result, because of the previous news, the general who was in charge of guarding the Taimiao finally made up his mind to awaken the King of Chu in advance.
It is obviously inappropriate for the king to disturb him rashly while resting, but I heard before that Tianyou had a way to easily remove the bricks. Now someone came to report that there was a huge noise in the vault, and now the general could no longer hold it back. He woke up the King of Chu regardless of the matter.
As the garrison general of the Taimiao, this person has privileges, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to call the king just by asking him to wake up in advance. The Chixiaowei and servants around the king would definitely try their best to stop the person who dared to disturb the king's rest.
However, this time, because of the privilege of the garrison general, the King of Chu was awakened.
The King of Chu, who heard the two news, was also a little surprised. After thinking about it, he decided to come and see it in person, so he soon brought a group of entourages outside the Taimiao.
The general in charge of the Taimiao garrison asked his deputy about the situation during this period. The deputy immediately replied: "Return to the general, since you left, the movement inside has not stopped, and there is a trend of increasing."
In fact, it goes without saying that the King of Chu and the General had already heard the movement inside.
Before the general asked, the King of Chu waved his hand and said, "Go in and take a look."
At this time, Tianyou had completed the absorption of most of the gold bricks in the vault, but the remaining gold bricks were still over 1,000, and it was depressing to say that the rest was the pile of gold bricks he and Yueying had moved over and piled up before. The biggest reason why he had not absorbed these gold bricks was because they piled up the gold bricks themselves. The previous method was a bit difficult to use, so they could only move them away piece by piece.
Tianyou was busy, and suddenly heard the sound of gears running from the gate outside. Tianyou and Yueying looked at each other and immediately understood what the other party meant.
Yueying directly threw it into Tianyou's body and hid it, while Tianyou suddenly turned on his power, allowing the Xuanling Treasure Mirror to completely throw out the Emperor Dao Sword.
Originally, only one sword tip could make the golden bricks tremble. Only one fifth of the sword blade could make a small area of gold bricks take off to the Emperor Dao Sword. Now the entire Emperor Dao Sword has flew out, and the gold bricks next to it can still be piled up there safely? The whole pile of gold bricks roared out instantly and flew towards the Emperor Dao Sword. At this moment, the vault gate outside also slid to both sides with a rumbling sound.
Bang...wa...dong...shuh...shuh...
As the gate of the vault opened, the King of Chu and his party outside immediately looked inside. Then, before they saw anything, they were startled by a series of loud noises like heavy rain. When the sound stopped, they looked inside. They saw a pile of messy gold bricks in the middle of the vault, like rubble that collapsed in the house during an earthquake.
"Ah, there are people buried below!" A sharp-eyed Chi Xiaowei found a leg protruding between the scattered gold bricks.
The King of Chu was immediately shocked and quickly ordered to save the person. Then everyone rushed over and pulled Tianyou out from under the brick. Fortunately, the person seemed to be fine, at least he was awake and did not find any fractures or other conditions.
Chapter completed!
