Chapter 366: 367

The Woman among the Treasures

As soon as Ye Mu heard, she hurriedly sat down and helped force the poison out of Ye Xiaolang.

And after Mo Linyuan watched, he asked a deputy general about what had happened.

That deputy general said, “Just as we came down, we were ambushed by a mass of poisonous worms. It wasn’t easy to run away, and we also encountered poisonous snakes and rats! Fortunately, General Ye is sharp. He brought us to a detour, so we don’t have many losses in the end.

“And then we ran all the way here. General Ye said, he has a feeling that the treasure is not far from here, but we can’t pass.”

“Why can’t you pass?” Mo Linyuan asked, frowning.

He sighed. “Your Majesty, please come with me.”

Mo Linyuan followed, and walked into the vast cave.

This place was like an underground world that had no boundary. Of course, it was also because the luminous pearls in their hands could only illuminate a limited range. How big this place was was utterly unknown.

Then, Mo Linyuan saw there was a large pit straight ahead. If he wanted to reach the opposite, he had to get past this large pit. This pit seemed to be neither deep nor shallow, roughly a few meters, but its length couldn’t be seen.

“What’s in here?” Mo Linyuan wanted to advance, but was pulled to a stop by the deputy general!

“Your Majesty, don’t go on.” With this said, he lighted a flame stick* and threw it ahead!

From the brief flame, once Mo Linyuan saw the sight in front, his pupils immediately shrinked! After that, the flame was enveloped by the black worm shadows.

The deputy general said, “There was someone who didn’t see before and jumped down intending to pass. It’s precisely how General Xiaolang was bitten to save him. Underneath does not only have worms, there are all the five poisonous creatures*. Surprisingly, they don’t attack each other despite being in the same place. General Xiaolang said it’s because something they’re fond of is buried here. It must be the powder the doctors concocted at the time, enabling them to multiply.”

*five poisonous creatures may include: scorpion, snake, centipede, house lizard, and toad

Mo Linyuan furrowed his brows. He raised his head to look toward the opposite. There, there was a tunnel lit by luminous pearls. What they were looking for might be inside, but in this situation, how could they pass?

Use qing gong? There was no leverage, for such a far distance, it might not work.

At this moment, Ye Mu came over and said, “I’ve suppressed Xiaolang’s condition, and also understood the situation. It looks like the creatures here are many because of the powder, but I don’t know what kind of powder is so impressive. It’s been many years, yet it’s still effective.”

Mo Linyuan said, “It might not be the powder at all. I’ve read from a book, to make the favored concubine happy, the last emperor nurtured a very strange flower on the mountains behind the imperial palace. That flower attracts snakes and other insects. Provided that it’s dried under the sun and pulverized, its effects won’t disappear no matter how many years have passed. But those flowers in the end were burned by the rebels who charged into the palace’s gates. Henceforth, it’s gone extinct.”

Ye Mu didn’t expect there would be such a thing. “Truly a world full of bizarre things. What do we do now? Go back, or find a way to go over and look?”

Mo Linyuan was rather hesitant. “There is so much pollen underneath, it’s uncertain how widespread and thick it is. This place also goes deep under. Even if we go out, this problem still has to be solved next time.”

Ye Mu said with a smile, “This is easy, splash some oil and set it on fire. It doesn’t matter whether these things are afraid of fire or not, it’ll work out.”

“But—” Her gaze settled on the tunnel illuminated by the luminous pearls on the opposite side. The entrance had been embedded with twelve luminous pearls. What a huge spending!

“How about I go there first? It’s possible with my strength.”

Mo Linyuan shook his head. “Too dangerous, let’s go according to your idea. After we’re out, we’ll bring oil and fire in.”

Ye Mu was rather eager. “Just once glance, I’ll just have a glance. If it’s really the treasure, I’ll come back right away.”

Mo Linyuan asked, “How are you going there? From here to there, the distance is too far.”

Ye Mu said with a smile, “Hang on!”

And then, she bare-handedly broke a stalactite column on the side. “To pass through here, I just need one leverage. Watch me!”

Saying this, without waiting for Mo Linyuan to say anything, she already flew up. When she was about to drop, she threw down the stone pillar in her hands. The stone pillar was thrusted into the piles of insects. Before those poisonous creatures could react, Ye Mu had already stepped on the pillar, and flew up once more. In the end, she steadily landed on the opposite side!

Seeing her waving her hand at him from the entrance of pearls, Mo Linyuan couldn’t help but say, “A glance, then come back.”

Ye Mu gave a response. About this, she knew her limits. Although she was very powerful, when she must be careful, she would be extremely careful.

So, she stepped into the corridor. As soon as she entered, she immediately felt the previous tunnels couldn’t be called tunnels. They were unlike the one before her, the surroundings all painted with elegant murals. Moreover, every section had one luminous pearl, illuminating the place very brightly!

Such a spectacle, the treasure was definitely here, no doubt!

Very soon, as though confirming her words, the treasures next to her gradually increased. After passing through the tunnel, what welcomed her was not darkness, but instead an almost-blinding ball of light!

Ye Mu had thought about what the treasure looked like. She had thought it should be around fifty chests of gold, silver and jewelries? Or something.

But what was before her completely subverted her initial thoughts. First of all, in front of her was a rockery of gold and agates. And below the rockery was a river of pearls and jewels.

The mural above was an ancient deity, and the big and small luminous pearls were used to mark the starry sky. Even the surroundings were not murals; instead, pure gold and silver were used to create small people, developing into various scenes that were so lifelike.

An arrangement might be needed to count this many treasures! No wonder, in the biography, Mo Linyuan could conquer the world. With these, Mo Country’s financial resources definitely could compare with the other countries’ combined.

She was awed to a stop, and continued onward, hoping to see what was behind the rockery, if there were other treasures.

Who would have thought, when she walked behind the rockery, she found a woman sleeping there.

That’s right, it was a woman!

For a moment, Ye Mu couldn’t tell whether it was a real person or a dummy. Anyway, from the looks of it, it was like she was sitting there asleep, her head resting on the gold mound, both feet stuck in the piles of pearls that turned into a “river”, as if she was merely resting for a bit.

Ye Mu was nervous for a moment. Although the woman in front of her wasn’t wearing a formal outfit, the Chinese dress still looked very stunning. The texture on it wasn’t in the least rotten; under the candlelight, it delicately glistened with golden light. And her face that was slightly drooping was shrouded in the shadows. With this look, it really seemed as though she fell asleep.

It must be a dummy, right? Ye Mu surmised as such. After all, counting the time, no one had entered this place for at least two hundred years.
