#332 - The daughter of a general
Liang Jin pondered to himself, feeling it was highly probable.
This Liu Yuan was highly skilled in martial arts, knowledgeable, especially the 《Overlord's Armor Removal》, 《Iron Cauldron Golden Body》, and 《Military Affairs Value Speed》 she passed on to him, all of which had the style of military martial arts, faintly revealing a decisive aura of killing.
"What exactly happened to the Liu family army later?"
"Why hasn't anyone inquired about this place for so long?"
Liang Jin suddenly remembered that Cang Du had mentioned this matter.
Initially, when Liang Jin first heard about the treasure from Ayina, he had inquired with Cang Du.
Cang Du, while informing Liang Jin about the theft of the Western Desert Ministry of War's defense map, also recounted the origin of the treasure.
What Cang Du said at the time was roughly the same as the content on the stone tablet.
The only crucial point, that the treasure was actually a pile of stones, was not mentioned by Cang Du.
Regarding this army transporting the treasure, Cang Du had also mentioned it.
He only said at the time that after this army returned to Da Qian, a mutiny and rebellion occurred, and they were eventually annihilated by the imperial army.
"Why does it feel... like there's a conspiracy involved?"
Liang Jin didn't take it seriously when he first heard this story.
But now that he knew the treasury silver had been replaced with stones, combined with this story, it was full of doubts and smelled of conspiracy everywhere.
Just then, angry roars came:
"Damn it! Where's the treasure? Why is it all broken stones?"
"Quick, open the other boxes and see!"
"Damn it! This one is also full of stones!"
...
The crowd was like ants on a hot pot, frantically searching among the large wooden boxes.
But unfortunately, each attempt ended in disappointment, and each time they opened a box, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on the hope in their hearts.
Some people were still desperately opening the remaining wooden boxes, hoping to find a box containing treasure, even if it was just one box.
Some had already collapsed because of this, howling in despair, their voices full of anger and unwillingness.
Others were still searching around restlessly, like madmen, seemingly wanting to find a hidden secret room and find the real treasure that might exist.
But all this was destined to be in vain.
The disciples of the three major sects also panicked, looking at each other with terrified and helpless expressions on their faces.
They quickly sent people out, hurrying towards the outside, wanting to report this important information to the leaders of the three major sects.
Left Demon Envoy Leng You looked at all this, also feeling incredible:
"This... what's going on?"
"The legendary treasure is just a pile of stones?"
"So many of us have been busy for so many days, and the result is a pile of stones?"
"This..."
She only felt that all this was really unacceptable.
If so many people outside knew this news, who knows what kind of chaos it would cause.
Without enough money, how could Star Demon Sea dominate the Western Desert?
The Black Dragon Kingdom's promise will probably become just a piece of paper.
The three major sects' treasure hunt has ultimately become a joke.
Aside.
Ox-Head Mingwang, who had come over, was also shocked and lost in thought when he saw all this.
Finally, he could only sigh and say:
"As the saying goes, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this."
"We exhausted our efforts to seek treasure, thinking we could obtain endless glory, but now we realize that what we sought was just stubborn stone, and naturally, disappointment arises in our hearts."
"However, all forms in the world are illusory, and the form of wealth is also like this, seemingly real, but actually impermanent."
"This humble monk has finally realized that we should not harbor hatred or lose ourselves because of the illusion of this treasure. We should face it with a peaceful heart, and from this impermanence, comprehend the wisdom of the Buddha, let go of our attachment to external things, and explore the light of our own nature inwardly, so that we can embark on the path of liberation."
Ox-Head Mingwang's Buddhist teachings were profound.
But it was precisely because they were too profound that they were unpopular, and no one present paid attention to him.
These treasure hunters were now displaying all kinds of ugly states, some sad, some angry, some unwilling...
Only Liang Jin and Liu Yuan knew all this, so they did not participate in it.
Liang Jin came to Liu Yuan's side and squatted down, asking:
"Are you a descendant of the Liu family army?"
Liu Yuan turned her head, her face full of tears and sorrow.
She nodded to Liang Jin:
"My father's name is Liu Zhan, and he was the commander of the Liu family army, who once guarded the Western Desert and deterred the Siha Li Kingdom and the Black Dragon Kingdom."
"But he was framed by treacherous officials in the court two years ago, and died with unresolved grievances!"
"Those treacherous officials embezzled the Western Desert treasury silver and plotted to make the Liu family army take the blame. They sold the Liu family army's marching route to the enemy, attempting to destroy the entire Liu family army and cover up their crimes of embezzlement."
"But they didn't expect the Liu family army to break through successfully and return to the country alive."
"But those treacherous officials, fearing that the matter would be exposed, even slanderously accused the Liu family army of rebellion, and ultimately slaughtered my entire family and the sixty thousand soldiers of the Liu family army."
"As long as I live in this world, I will avenge them!"
In Liu Yuan's eyes, there was a deep-seated hatred.
So much so that her beautiful face became somewhat ferocious.
Liang Jin sighed.
He believed what Liu Yuan said at this time, because it could match everything.
It's just that Liang Jin didn't expect that the Da Qian Dynasty had already become so corrupt.
It's no wonder that this Da Qian Dynasty had already shown signs of national decline in just a few decades.
He waved to Yunlong:
"Prepare, we are going to transport these stone tablets out."
Yunlong immediately went to arrange it.
Liang Jin patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder to comfort her.
Then he stood up and let Liu Yuan be quiet by herself.
Liang Jin turned his head to look at the Qingyi Tower disciples, who were still scattered in the hall, looking dazed and lost.
It could be seen that the spirit of these disciples seemed to have been taken away at this moment.
Liang Jin was not worried about them.
He knew very well that what should be really worried about now was the group of people outside.
Liang Jin was not in a hurry to go out.
As long as the Left Demon Envoy, Leng You, of the Star Demon Sea, and the Bull-Headed Bright King of the Boundless Bright King Sect are still within this abandoned tomb, he doesn't need to worry about the people outside collapsing it.
Even if the people outside really collapse the tomb passage, Liang Jin's current strength is enough to break out, it would just waste a bit of time.
At this moment, this is actually the safest place.
Liang Jin only wants to wait here for a dramatic change in the situation outside.
......
At the entrance of the cave.
The leaders of the three major forces were still sitting around the table, leisurely sipping tea.
Bai Qiuying, the Sect Leader of the Great Snow Mountain Sect, gently put down her teacup, her expression calm but faintly revealing a hint of doubt, and said:
"Sect Leader Ming, your sect's Right Demon Envoy went to fetch tea leaves, but it seems like it's taking an unreasonably long time."
"What kind of rare tea leaves could possibly delay him until now, and he still hasn't returned?"
The Right Demon Envoy, Hei Jiu, received the order to fetch tea leaves, but his departure was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace, which really made Bai Qiuying's heart filled with doubts.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Ming Cangwu's expression remained unchanged, his face still wearing a faint smile, and he said calmly:
"Why is Sect Leader Bai so impatient?"
"We rarely have this opportunity to gather here, instead of dwelling on such trivial matters, why not discuss more valuable major issues."
Hearing this, Bai Qiuying's lips curled up slightly, and she sneered, just about to open her mouth to question further.
Suddenly, several disciples from the three major sects rushed out of the cave in a panic.
They looked anxious and reported to everyone breathlessly:
"Reporting to all Sect Leaders!"
"That... that treasure... is actually fake!"
"There are only a pile of broken stones in the box, and there's no sign of any treasure at all!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was struck by lightning and instantly stunned.
Ming Cangwu's hand, which was originally holding the teacup, trembled slightly, and the scalding tea almost splashed out.
The Boundless Dharma King, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Bai Qiuying almost stood up subconsciously.
Ayina also couldn't help but open her mouth in astonishment, her face full of disbelief.
Previously, Liang Jin had told her that there was no treasure at all, but at the time, Ayina only thought Liang Jin was joking.
After all, such confidential matters as whether there was a treasure or not were difficult for even the three major forces to know, so how could Liang Jin be clear about it?
However, at this moment, with the result right in front of her, Ayina felt a strong sense of astonishment in her heart.
"Since he knew there was no treasure long ago, why did he still interfere in this matter?"
"Could it be that from the beginning, he had other plans?"
In addition to the shock, Ayina couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and her gaze couldn't help but turn to the deep cave, as if trying to find the answer from there.
Only Cang Du's face was as calm as water, as if he had expected this result long ago.
A Star Lord from the Star Demon Sea looked gloomy and questioned sternly:
"What do you mean by these words?"
"The Great Qian Dynasty spent many years plundering in the Western Desert, accumulating countless wealth, how could there be no treasure?"
"This wealth was personally escorted by the army at that time, could it possibly disappear out of thin air? Have you seen clearly? Could there be other secret rooms or hidden mechanisms?"
The Star Demon Sea disciple looked helpless and slowly shook his head.
In the way of mechanisms, Star Demon Sea disciples have always been the most familiar and proficient, even they are shaking their heads, then it is mostly true that there is no treasure.
"I don't believe it!"
This Star Lord gritted his teeth:
"I'm going to go and see for myself!"
After saying that, he strode towards the cave.
On the side of the Boundless Bright King Sect, a Dharma Protector Venerable also stood up and decided to confirm again.
The Great Snow Mountain Sect naturally did not want to fall behind, a Palace Lord with a solemn expression stepped into the cave.
Even so, for the three Sect Leaders, they had gradually become inclined to believe that this time it was probably a waste of effort, and there was no treasure.
"Bang!"
Bai Qiuying slammed the table, suddenly stood up, her eyes widened in anger, and shouted sternly at Ming Cangwu:
"Ming Cangwu!"
"This treasure hunt was initiated by the Black Dragon Kingdom, now that the treasure is gone, what exactly is going on?"
"Don't tell me you know nothing, your relationship with the Black Dragon Kingdom has always been close, how could you not know the reason?"
In Bai Qiuying's eyes, Ming Cangwu had long been reduced to a vassal of the Black Dragon Kingdom.
However, Ming Cangwu still smiled and said unhurriedly:
"Sect Leader Bai, I really don't know the situation of the treasure."
"However, these are all unimportant now, because the distinguished guest is about to arrive."
"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances, why doesn't Sect Leader Bai consider surrendering to the Black Dragon Kingdom and working with us to seek great undertakings?"
Now that things have come to this, Ming Cangwu simply revealed his cards.
Bai Qiuying sneered and said decisively:
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
"Farewell!"
She knew clearly that she had no foundation in the Black Dragon Kingdom, and surrendering would only mean being subservient to others and becoming a second-class character.
But in Great Qian, she had extensive connections, so she naturally preferred Great Qian.
Only when Great Qian regained control of the Western Desert could the Great Snow Mountain Sect usher in the best development opportunities.
After saying that, Bai Qiuying decisively led the crowd and turned to leave.
Just at this moment.
A bone-chilling killing intent suddenly filled the entire area!
Immediately afterwards, a roar of extreme anger resounded through the valley like muffled thunder:
"Who killed my son? ! ! !"
This voice contained endless killing intent, shocking everyone's eardrums, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
Ming Cangwu still smiled and said softly:
"The distinguished guest has arrived."
As Ming Cangwu's voice fell, everyone heard a sound in the sky.
The next moment, a figure steadily landed on the top of the valley.
Everyone took a closer look.
They saw an old man in his late fifties holding a dead corpse, the corpse had already begun to rot and stink, but the old man held it tightly in his arms as if it were a treasure.
The old man's eyes were like those of a beast, slowly scanning over everyone present:
"Say! ! !"
"Who is it?"
