The capital.
Ye Qiu had just ended the call with Qian Jinglan, and the car had already arrived at the Forbidden City.
The reason why Ye Qiu came to the Forbidden City in a hurry was to see if there were any treasures in the Forbidden City that could help him treat Ye Wushuang.
Ye Qiu thought that as the most powerful force in the world, the Forbidden City had so many immortal cultivators and must have collected a lot of peerless treasures.
After getting out of the car.
Ye Qiu looked forward and saw that the outside of the Forbidden City was already protected by heavy troops.
He strode towards the city gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Qiu arrived at the gate, he was stopped by several sentries.
“Stop！”
A sentry Shout expressionlessly： “Old Tang has ordered that no one is allowed to enter. Please go back！”
Beside him, several other sentries stared at Ye Qiu with sharp eyes, and their right hands were all pressing on the guns at their waists. As long as Ye Qiu made any slight move, they would not hesitate to take action.
“I’m from the Hades Palace.”
Ye Qiu took out his certificate and handed it to the sentry, saying： “I need to go in and do something. Please do me a favor, brothers.”
The sentry didn’t even look at Ye Qiu’s certificate and said with a straight face： “Old Tang said that no one is allowed to enter, otherwise, there will be no amnesty for killing.”
These people were all acting on orders, and Ye Qiu couldn’t make things difficult for them. He had to call Old Tang on the spot and then successfully entered the Forbidden City.
At this time, the traces of the great battle could still be seen, but not a single dead body could be seen. Presumably, Old Tang had sent someone to clean up the scene.
Ye Qiu walked straight into the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.
As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked.
Looking up.
There was a dragon chair placed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The dragon chair was made of pure gold and was solemn and imposing.
Subsequently, Ye Qiu also saw five huge bronze pillars. On the bronze pillars, five-clawed golden dragons were carved with gilt.
Then, he noticed that the ground was paved with white marble.
In addition, various gold, silver and jade wares were also placed in the hall.
If calculated in terms of money, the things in this hall were worth at least ten billion yuan.
However, Ye Qiu’s eyes were calm. He just took a look around and then quickly went out of the hall and entered another hall.
The second hall was even more extraordinary.
At the entrance of the hall, there were more than a dozen thousand-year-old cypress trees planted. Each one was as thick as a bathtub, and the trunk part was pitch-black.
Obviously, these thousand-year-old cypress trees had been struck by lightning.
Their vitality was very tenacious and they did not die. New green buds had grown on the treetops.
Fortunately, I didn’t bring the old thing here. If he saw these thousand-year-old cypress trees, he might go crazy.
Ye Qiu secretly rejoiced.
These thousand-year-old cypress trees were lightning-struck wood and were excellent materials for making magic tools. For True Man Changmei, they had a fatal temptation.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qiu’s eyes fell on the entrance of the hall.
Although this main hall is not as solemn and magnificent as the first one, there are nine golden nanmu pillars standing at the entrance.
Ye Qiu also saw that in the southeast corner of the main hall, there was a very large water tank.
The water tank was cast from bronze with animal heads and rings on both sides.
Simple and vicissitudes.
“Taiping tank！”
Ye Qiu said softly.
In ancient times, wealthy families liked to place water tanks in the courtyard, which had the meaning of calming the house and ensuring peace.
It is said that in ancient times, fires often occurred in the Forbidden City. Therefore, the emperor ordered people to make 365 Taiping tanks. Usually, the tanks were filled with water. Once a fire occurred, the water in the tanks could be used to quickly put out the fire to ensure peace.
Ye Qiu pushed open the vermilion gate, swept around, and found that the situation inside the second main hall was similar to that of the first main hall.
There were countless gold, silver and jade wares inside the main hall. Even, he also saw a lot of bowls, chopsticks, wine utensils and other things made of pure gold and top-quality white jade.
“So fucking luxurious.”
Ye Qiu cursed secretly and turned around to leave.
Although these things were of extraordinary value, Ye Qiu was not interested.
Then, he entered another main hall.
As the former imperial city, the Forbidden City is magnificent, with dozens of main halls.
It took Ye Qiu half an hour to visit all these main halls.
Without exception, the situation in each hall is almost the same. There are all kinds of treasures such as gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
There are at least one hundred and several tens of thousands of pieces.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Forbidden City is a huge treasure house！
However, the things that Ye Qiu wanted to find, not a single one was found.
“It shouldn’t be. There are so many cultivators in the Forbidden City. How could there not be a few good things that caught my eye？”
“For example, thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, martial arts secret books, divine weapons, pills…”
“No！”
Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that although he had visited so many halls, he had not found the place where Long Yi was in seclusion.
“Long Yi and the others have been in seclusion here for so many years. How could there be no trace left？”
“There must be hidden places in the Forbidden City that I haven’t found.”
Ye Qiu started to stroll around the Forbidden City again. This time, he walked very slowly and didn’t let go of every corner.
Finally, he stopped in front of a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is about eight meters high, three meters wide and three feet thick, standing on the back of a bronze tortoise.
Ye Qiu took a look. The stone tablet was engraved with dense handwriting recording the major events that happened in the Forbidden City in the past six hundred years.
The reason why he stopped here was because he found that there were many remaining footprints on the ground in front of the bronze tortoise.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Forbidden City. That is to say. the footprints here could only be left by the people in the Forbidden City.
”Could there be something wrong with this stele？”
Ye Qiu walked around the stele. Apart from the footprints, he didn’t find any other abnormal situation.
Subsequently, he activated the Celestial Eye.
Soon, Ye Qiu discovered the clue.
”So that’s how it is.”
Ye Qiu walked in front of the bronze tortoise, and then infused internal energy into his fingertip and pressed it on the left eye of the bronze tortoise.
Immediately, the eye of the bronze tortoise sank in.
The next second, the stele shook, and the bronze tortoise slowly moved back three feet.
Then, a tunnel appeared in Ye Qiu’s sight.
Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate at all and directly stepped into the tunnel and walked straight down along the steps.
The tunnel was more than two meters wide and about three meters high. On the walls on both sides, every three meters, there would be an oil lamp made of tung oil.
Although it was underground, there was not the slightest feeling of dampness and eeriness. Instead, it was warm, making people feel as if they were staying in a heated room.
The tunnel was a full hundred meters long.
After walking through the tunnel, a huge bronze door appeared in front of him again.
There was a huge dragon head engraved on the bronze door, lifelike and majestic.
Ye Qiu searched for a while but didn’t find the mechanism and decided to open the bronze door by brute force.
He put his hands on the bronze door, then operated the Nine-Turn Divine Dragon Art, concentrated all the strength of his body on his palms, and then suddenly exerted force.
”Open！”
Rumble——
The bronze door was slowly pushed open by Ye Qiu…
