"Okay!" Chuan Ying happily agreed, and everyone went in together.
Under the majestic palace, there was an underground treasury. The emperor and the guests came in person, and the doors of the underground palace opened.
The group entered the underground palace. Not only were there guards outside, there were also guards on duty inside.
The heavy doors of the underground palace opened layer by layer. After entering the real treasure area, there were no guards inside, only shelves with all kinds of rare treasures.
Chuan Ying looked at her feet, and found that the ground was made of molten copper.
"These are all common things of the world. Compared to the things in the holy land and immortal pavilions, they are very crude." Nie Zhenting waved his hand, inviting her to look.
Accompanied by him, Chuan Ying shuttled through the treasure vault. She discovered that most of the items were common objects. Most of them were gold and silver treasures. There were also large gold bricks that were cast and stored here. There were also some so-called precious utensils, calligraphy, paintings, and some spirit herbs.
After walking around the treasury, Chuan Ying stopped in front of a colorful jade statue. She looked around, a little surprised, "The treasures of the palace are only these things?"
Nie Zhenting smiled reservedly, "It is a little simple, Mister Chuan Ying, please don't laugh."
Chi Qingli also said, "Of course not compared to the Ice and Snow Pavilion."
Chuan Ying waved her hand, "I don't mean that. In my opinion, His Majesty should have some treasures that he doesn't want me to see?"
Nie Zhenting was startled, the other party's words were obviously unhappy, and he quickly said, "Mister Chuan Ying, the treasures of the palace are all here, and then there are some decorations in the palace. Those things are not as precious as here. Of course, if you want to see them, you can also take a look. "
Chuan Ying shook her head, "I am not talking about those common things."
Nie Zhenting was puzzled, "Apart from these, there are indeed no other treasures in the palace."
Chuan Ying laughed, "Does Your Majesty think that I am ignorant?"
Nie Zhenting quickly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare …"
Chuan Ying's voice became slightly louder, "What about the divine weapon of the country, the Mountain and River Cauldron?"
As soon as these words came out, the group qualified to enter became silent, and everyone looked at each other.
Nie Zhenting was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Does Mister want to see the Mountain and River Cauldron?"
Chuan Ying, "Your Majesty said that there are no other treasures in the palace, does the Mountain and River Cauldron not count? Could it be that the Mountain and River Cauldron is among these furnishings? If it's not among these furnishings, then Your Majesty's intentions are very clear. Either you don't want me to see it, or you're taking advantage of my ignorance. "
Nie Zhenting hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mister has misunderstood, I have absolutely no intention of neglecting you, absolutely no such intention!" As he spoke, he winked at Chi Qingli.
Chi Qingli immediately chimed in, "Mr. Chuan, the Mountain and River Cauldron is the divine artifact of the Han Kingdom. It's really not convenient to take it out easily."
Chuan Ying's face gradually turned cold. "If it's inconvenient to take it out, just say that it's not convenient to take it out. Why do you say that there are no other treasures in the palace besides these? If this isn't taking advantage of my ignorance, then what is?"
These words caused the group of people to feel very awkward and uneasy. It was obvious that they had angered this person.
Who dared to bully the people of the Ice and Snow Pavilion for being ignorant? Everyone seemed to understand the deeper meaning of his words. The other party seemed to think that they were mocking him for marrying into the Ice and Snow Pavilion, but in fact, he didn't understand anything.
Some people secretly blamed Nie Zhenting for not speaking properly.
Nie Zhenting was a little frightened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chuan Ying, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. The Mountain and River Cauldron is an exception, it's not among the so-called hidden treasures."
Chuan Ying retorted, "Then I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give me face and let me take a look at it?"
"This …" Nie Zhenting really didn't know what to do at this moment. It wasn't appropriate to take out the Mountain and River Cauldron for others to see, and it wasn't appropriate to not take it out for this person to see either. Being stared at coldly by the other party, he looked at Chi Qingli in a dilemma.
Among the three major sects, the current leader of the Fairy Cult had the highest status here, and he wanted to ask her to make a decision.
Chi Qingli was also a little embarrassed, but in the end, she still forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, since Mr. Chuan Ying wants to see it, there's no harm in taking it out for Mr. Chuan Ying to see."
What else could Nie Zhenting say? He also forced a smile and said, "Alright!" Then he cupped his hands towards Chi Qingli.
Chi Qingli turned and extended her hand to Chuan Ying. "Mr. Chuan, the Mountain and River Cauldron is in the secret room of the treasury, and only His Majesty knows how to open it. It isn't convenient for us to watch from the side, so please step outside for the moment and allow His Majesty to open the secret room of the treasury."
"No problem!" Chuan Ying nodded and immediately turned to leave.
The group of people also consciously left, and Nie Zhenting gave Chang De, the head of the inner palace, a look.
Chang De understood, bowed, took a few steps back, and also left. However, when he reached the entrance of the treasury, he closed the door and personally blocked the entrance, staring at the people outside, not allowing anyone to come close.
Nie Zhenting, who was alone in the treasury, sighed and shook his head, a helpless expression on his face.
Then, he took a carved silver pot from the shelf at the side, walked to a water jar, and bent down to fill it with water.
After filling the pot with water, he brought it to the two wooden tables in the corner, and there were two transparent crystal bottles on the two wooden tables.
Nie Zhenting slowly poured the water from the pot into one of the crystal bottles, and carefully poured it. When the water line reached the top of the mountain carved on the bottle, he promptly stopped pouring the water.
The wooden table and the crystal bottle began to slowly sink, and after sinking to a certain point, they stopped.
Nie Zhenting then walked to the row of words on one of the walls, and reached out to press a few words on it. Immediately, he heard a soft click from within the wall.
The iron curtain facing the main entrance of the underground palace rumbled, and creaked open to both sides, revealing a secret room that shone with treasure light.
Nie Zhenting then quickly walked to the crystal bottle, and poured the water back into the silver pot. Then, he carefully switched the positions of the two crystal bottles.
Only then did he turn back to the water jar, pour the water back, and place the empty silver pot back in its original position.
Finally, he reached the entrance of the treasury and shouted, "Chang De, invite Mr. Chuan Ying in."
Weng! The door to the treasury opened again, and Chang De invited him in. Nie Zhenting also extended his hand to invite him in, "Mr. Chuan Ying, please come with me."
Everyone who entered saw the open door to the secret room, and Chuan Ying nodded and followed him.
Once they entered the secret room, they found that the treasure light inside was emitted by a few night pearls placed on the left and right, and a square black iron cauldron of one foot was placed on the center platform.
Chuan Ying quickly walked forward, and walked around the platform to stare at the cauldron. She found that it was carved with mountains and rivers, and the carving was vigorous, as if the mountains and rivers were sacrificed to this cauldron.
After looking at it, she touched it for a while, then raised her head and asked, "This is the Mountain and River Cauldron?"
Nie Zhenting squeezed out a smile, and said, "That's right, it is the Mountain and River Cauldron."
Chuan Ying gestured with her hands, and said in surprise, "Such a small cauldron is actually the legendary Mountain and River Cauldron?"
Chi Qingli smiled, and said, "Those who have never seen it might think it is very impressive, but in reality, it is indeed only this big."
Chuan Ying held the cauldron with both hands, and nodded, "It looks small, and its black light is not eye-catching, but it is full of weight!"
Everyone smiled and nodded.
Holding the cauldron, Chuan Ying turned it over and over again, and said, "Legend has it that this cauldron is one of the eight treasures left behind by the Wu Dynasty's Shang Song, and to be able to be used as a national treasure, there must be something extraordinary about it. Does anyone know what is so extraordinary about it?"
Chi Qingli said, "Actually, it is just a small cauldron. The eight treasures were originally in the hands of the Holy Venerables, and the Holy Venerables should have examined it repeatedly, and there is nothing extraordinary about it. It is probably more of a symbolic meaning. The various countries have occupied the Wu Dynasty's territory, and the Wu Dynasty's keepsake is proof. "
Chuan Ying nodded, and turned it over and over again, and shook her head slightly, and said, "In my opinion, it should not be that simple."
Chi Qingli smiled, and asked, "I would like to hear Mister's opinion."
Chuan Ying pondered for a while, and said, "I can't say anything right now, I will bring it back to study it, and see if I can find anything."
"..." Everyone was instantly speechless, and Chi Qingli was a little dumbfounded, and said, "Bring … bring it back to study?"
Chuan Ying looked up, and asked, "Can't I?"
Nie Zhenting was dumbfounded, and hurriedly winked at Chi Qingli.
Chi Qingli swallowed, and hurriedly dissuaded, "Mister Chuan, this is not appropriate. This is the country of Korea's Divine Artifact, and according to the Misty Pavilion's rules, it is the foundation of the country of Korea. It is not appropriate for anyone to take it away, please forgive me, Mister Chuan."
Chuan Ying said, "Sect Leader Chi, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will only bring it back to take a look, and I will return it unharmed later." Seeing that the two still wanted to stop him, he interrupted again, and said, "Don't worry, I will temporarily borrow it on behalf of the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Are you afraid that the Ice and Snow Pavilion will go back on their words, and not return it?"
Chi Qingli's face was a mess, and she said, "Mister Chuan, this … this is really not appropriate to lend."
"If I say it is appropriate, then it is appropriate. It is settled then." Chuan Ying threw down the words, and just like that, he carried the cauldron and strode away.
He knew that this was a little unreasonable, but he had no other choice. He really could not think of any other way to get the Han Dynasty to lend it to him, and if he borrowed it normally, he would not be able to borrow it.
He was also forced to this point, and if he could not borrow the cauldron, the consequences would be unbearable.
"..." Everyone was stunned. Just like that, he took away the country of Korea's Divine Artifact, the Mountain and River Cauldron?
Nie Zhenting panicked, and Chi Qingli also quickly caught up to Chuan Ying, "Mister Chuan, this is not appropriate, please listen to me, this is really not appropriate. Why don't you first report to the Misty Pavilion, and if the Misty Pavilion agrees, we will definitely not object, and Mister Chuan can take it with you for as long as you want. "
Chuan Ying held the cauldron, and as he walked, he said, "If the Misty Pavilion wants to pursue this, you can just say that I borrowed it on behalf of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, and directly push the blame to me."
A group of panicked people quickly followed behind Chuan Ying, and they really wanted to hold him down, or directly snatch the cauldron back, but they could only be anxious in their hearts, who could do anything to this person?
Seeing that Chuan Ying was about to leave the underground palace, Chi Qingli suddenly shouted, "Mister Chuan, if you insist on borrowing the cauldron, we do not dare to stop you, but you have to at least write a promissory note to prove that you borrowed the cauldron on behalf of the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Otherwise, how can you prove that you borrowed it later? If something happens to the cauldron, what should we do? If Mister Chuan does not leave a promissory note, we really cannot comply, so we can only stop Mister Chuan and wait for the Misty Pavilion's instructions. "
At this point, Chuan Ying stopped, stared at Chi Qingli for a while, and finally nodded, "Alright!"
