Chapter 227 Mercury Treasure House

 Zhang Tiantao is so angry that his teeth are itching. The First Elder and I have tried our best to help you win the opportunity to enter the treasure house, but you don’t know what is good or bad.

Seeing Zhang Tiantao's face turned dark, Ye Bai said, "Why don't you tell me what's in the treasure house, and I'll see if it's worth going in."

Zhang Tiantao had no choice but to explain patiently: "The Zhang family treasure house stores treasures collected by the Zhang family in the past dynasties. The treasure house is divided into heaven characters and earth characters. Heaven characters are treasures born and raised by the earth. Although the earth characters are different, they are also difficult to find in the world."

What a treasure you are looking for."

Ye Bai nodded, the things that could be collected by the Zhang family must be good.

"Then what kind of treasure trove can I choose from?"

"I don't know about this. The Great Elder is waiting for you below. He will explain it to you in detail."

"Okay."

Ye Bai slowly walked into the underground cage and made a brief observation. The underground cage was just made of ordinary metal, and his Overlord Gun should be able to break it open.

Moreover, there was no warning from the bloodline, indicating that the Zhang family probably did not set a trap.

Although there is some fuss, it is better to be cautious than to lose one's life for no reason.

With the sound of the chain turning, the two people rode the underground cage and sank. There was no light here. After sinking for more than twenty meters, they saw a bright lobby in front of them.

The space in the lobby is not small, and a hollow bronze stove in the middle is burning brightly. It seems to be burning some kind of special grease, and there is a strange fragrance in the air.

There are many Zhang family members coming and going. Maybe the ancient house above is just a cover, and the real Zhang family’s ancient house is actually underground.

"The passages here are complicated, please follow me closely."

Zhang Tiantao led the way, and after bypassing several passages, he came to a house labeled "Erlu".

The great elder Zhang Ruifeng is among them, holding a brush and writing something.

Zhang Tiantao left, leaving only Ye Bai and Zhang Ruifeng in the room.

Zhang Ruifeng said nothing and handed the written paper to Ye Bai.

"The walls have ears. You can act with me in a play. After it's done, you can choose anything from the Tianzi Treasure House."

Ye Bai frowned, then nodded slightly, is the Zhang family's situation so serious? Even the elder has to act?

Zhang Ruifeng destroyed the paper and asked: "Ye Bai, as far as we know, people from the Wang family have also looked for you. What do you mean by coming to the Zhang family now?"

Ye Bai thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I once helped Zhang Wenyu get a lot of bronze stones and saved the lives of Zhang Tiantao and others. Is there anything wrong with coming to the Zhang family to ask for reward?"

"This matter is indeed a favor that the Zhang family owes you, but what is your relationship with the Wang family? Your wife Bai Zhixi also has a close relationship with the senior Wang family. If you don't give us an explanation, I'm afraid you will

My life is at risk." Zhang Ruifeng sighed, not sure if it was staged or if he expressed his true feelings.

Ye Bai understood a little bit. His contact with the Wang family might have been noticed by the Zhang family. Of course, it was also possible that the Wang family took the initiative to reveal it.

The Zhang family obviously doubted him.

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of coldness: "An explanation? What explanation do you want? Besides, are you all pig-minded? Even if I have a relationship with the Wang family, is it necessary for me to take risks myself and come to Changbai Mountain?"

"I killed so many Wang family members in Changsha. How could the Wang family cooperate with me? If you, the Zhang family, don't want to pay me, just say so, so why bother with all these twists and turns."

The atmosphere is a bit solemn.

Zhang Ruifeng tapped the wall three times, looked at Ye Bai and said, "The Zhang family has not been having a good time these days. It is inevitable that there will be some suspicion. Don't blame me."

This was considered an apology, but Ye Bai looked cold and did not respond.

Soon, three intermittent and orderly echoes came from the wall, and Zhang Ruifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I'll take you to the treasure house."

The Zhang family's underground fortress was very large. Zhang Ruifeng took Ye Bai through a long passage and rode in the underground cage three times before finally arriving at the Zhang family's treasure house.

On the way, Ye Bai also asked Zhang Ruifeng if he could dispel the suspicion of the people behind the wall with just two curse words.

Zhang Ruifeng explained that the Zhang family has its own way of distinguishing truth from lies. Although Ye Bai's words just now were unpleasant, they were not lies, so the people behind the wall responded with a safe signal.

Ye Bai asked again, what if he lied?

Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said calmly: "Then both of us will die in that room."

Ye Bai was silent. Zhang Ruifeng might be very confident in his Zhang family's methods, but Ye Bai was also very confident in his own methods. If something like that really happened, Zhang Ruifeng would die, but he, Ye Bai, would definitely not.

As for whether he could escape from the underground fortress after escaping from the house, Ye Bai didn't have much confidence.

The Zhang family's treasure house is deep underground, and there are many Zhang family members guarding it.

Zhang Ruifeng handed Ye Bai a gas mask and put another one on himself.

The main door of the treasure house is a small bronze door with exquisite carvings. It is about the height of a normal person, but it is equipped with complex machine locks.

Ye Bai was held back, and Zhang Ruifeng could be seen inserting his fingers into the machine lock. After fiddling with it for a long time, the small bronze door slowly opened.

Entering the treasure house, Ye Bai finally knew why he had to wear a gas mask.

The treasure house is full of mercury, and there is only a piece of land in the middle where people can stand. The mercury gathers into a river and flows around the land.

Countless bronze chains fell into the Milky Way, presumably the treasures were beneath the chains.

"The Zhang family's treasure house is divided into heaven, earth and people. The things stored in the Tianzi treasure house and the earth word treasure house are all stored here. The chains storing the Tianzi treasures have patterns. You can choose it yourself?"

"Is there a herringbone treasure house?" Ye Bai was quite curious. Zhang Tiantao didn't tell him just now.

"The Renzi Treasure House is the most important inheritance treasure house of the Zhang family. Only the patriarchs of the past generations can read it. It contains thousands of years of historical mysteries on this land. It may include why Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, and the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's life and death.

What role did the Zhang family play in this, etc."

Ye Bai was a little surprised: "This should be your Zhang family's top secret, why did you tell me?"

"The herringbone treasure house has been destroyed. Even if you know it, it doesn't matter." Zhang Ruifeng shook his head slightly and then continued: "Let's choose as soon as possible. We can't stay down there for too long."

Ye Bai nodded, turned his attention to the bronze chains, and counted them carefully. There seemed to be only three chains with patterns, and seventy or eighty chains without patterns.

"I would like to ask, how high is the century-old Zhu Guo that was auctioned in Shanghai a few years ago in this treasure house?"

"The word barely enters the ground."

My dear, Ye Bai was very surprised. It takes a hundred years for Zhu Guo to reach the earth. How many good things are stored in this family treasure house.

Before, Ye Bai always felt that he had been to several large tombs, and there were many treasures stored in the space, but compared with the Zhang family's treasure house, it was really nothing.

According to this standard, his million-year-old meat mushroom and the wood root found in the Death Forest are also of the grade of "di".

But there are seventy or eighty items in the Zhang family's treasury.
