Chapter 221 - The Mysterious "Hundred Treasures"

"Mengmeng?"

"Mengmeng!?"

"Mengmeng!"

Little Princess weakly fell into my arms.

Trembling as I hugged the paralyzed Little Princess, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Blood slowly flowed out, and I finally could no longer hold it in as I let out the most heart-wrenching scream.

Rumble

The mournful and sorrowful cries echoed endlessly in the endless cave.

Little Princess can't hold on anymore, I'm going to be done for too … I realized this point.

I tightly embraced the Little Princess, and my back dispirited and heavy crashed against the cave wall, ready to die.

loon

I don't know what I hit, but my back was originally leaning heavily against the cave wall. However, the moment I heavily leaned on it, I felt the cave wall behind me actually shift backwards a bit, to the point where I almost fell into it.

What was going on?

The cave wall that had suddenly caved in behind me cleared my mind, and I slowly turned my head. Then, I was stunned.

That's because, behind me, on the wall of the cave, a revolving stone door appeared.

Shimen City's gate structure changed. Earlier, I bumped into this stone gate, but in the end, I actually knocked into that gate.

"Door?" At that time, when I turned around to look at the secret stone door behind me, I was really dumbfounded.

Little Princess and I stayed on this piece of ground filled with underground water for five whole days, but we didn't discover that there was a stone door behind us!

When I looked at the dark stone door behind me, I thought I was hallucinating due to hunger. However, when I reached out my hand to touch it, I discovered that there was a man-made stone door behind me. Furthermore, there seemed to be a man-made secret chamber inside.

What happened next really bewildered me, and I couldn't believe my eyes.

But very quickly, my heart started beating rapidly because I suddenly realized that I was saved!

Although I no longer had any strength on me, I still carried Little Princess and struggled to stand up. It was unknown if the Little Princess was unconscious or dead, there were no signs of movement. Looking at her face, I clenched my teeth. No matter what, I have to go to the dark room to see if there is food. Then, I'll see if there is any exit that I can climb out of.

Thinking about this, I gently placed the Little Princess on the ground and turned around.

There must be an exit

At that time, I gritted my teeth and walked into the dark room. There was actually a secret chamber at the bottom of this well. It was truly mysterious and inconceivable. Even though my heart was filled with doubts, my instinct for survival made me unable to guess the origins of this secret chamber. My only thought was to find an exit.

After entering the dark room, it was pitch black. I couldn't see anything at all, but the interior of the dark room seemed very large and it was exceptionally cold. I swallowed and walked around the darkroom, stumbling, unable to tell which way was which, only going forward.

After a few steps, my knee hit something. It was like a table, very hard, and when it hit the table, I seemed to knock something over. I heard a crash, and something similar to porcelain glass fell to the ground and shattered.

I waited for a long time, but there was no other sound from the darkroom, so I got a little bolder, and then I stretched out my hand and groped like a blind man. As a result, I felt more bottles and jars and things, like vases and statues and so on.

It can't be a Ancient Cultural Relics storage room, right?

This thought flashed through my mind, because I had touched many porcelain bowls, pots and even something similar to a painting scroll. Even if I didn't understand the Ancient Cultural Relics and came across these things, I still understood that this place wasn't simple. However, he did not know if this was an ancient tomb or a secret basement where Ancient Cultural Relics were stored.

Of course, I'm not interested in the background of this dark room. What I care about is finding something to eat.

But to my despair, I searched the empty basement for a long time, but couldn't find anything to eat.

This underground chamber is very deep, it's like a straight tunnel leading to the front. Although the horizontal distance is not wide, the length is astonishing. I walked for over a hundred meters, but still haven't reached the end.

When I reached the end of this weird underground tunnel, I suddenly came across a stone door. I felt around for a while, and then I felt something like a switch.

I was startled, but I pressed the switch anyway.

There was a thump, and the instant I pressed the switch, all the lights in the tunnel lit up!

Hundreds of brightly lit chandeliers hung above the tunnel, and I couldn't open my eyes for a moment as the white glare intensified.

It was only a few seconds later that I could just make out the tunnel. When I clearly saw the scene in the tunnel, I was completely shocked.

What did I see?

It's hard for me to describe my current feelings. Is it excitement, shock, or complexity?

I saw the house full of Ancient Cultural Relics.

Dozens of golden buddhist statues, buddhist statues, crouching buddha statues, or arhat statues with all sorts of expressions lined up in front of them. Over a hundred jade statues stood in the corner of the secret room, each with a height of over 225cm. And in the middle of the dark room, there were long tables carved with roaming dragons and phoenixes. The Fox Toad Turtle gave off an ancient feeling. On the long table, there was an uncountable number of porcelain jades. It was a pure and beautiful crystal clear blue porcelain bowl made from Song Tiannan glaze. On its shoulder, there was a four-element porcelain jar made from the same material as Sui Qinglian, and on its open lips, there was a plate of Mingxuande Green Flower Lotus. It was a rare earthenware pot carved with blue and white porcelain. There were also stone inscriptions and paintings. After opening it, he found that there was Gong Xian's "Qiushan Mansion Map" and Qi Baishi's "High Pine Tree Map".

Each of them was more than 4 meters tall, and there were a shocking number of Ancient Cultural Relics s placed on top of them. Although I am not an archaeologist, I have watched a few national treasure archives and other kinds of television programs, so I was somewhat knowledgeable about them. When I saw the Ancient Cultural Relics s placed on the cabinets, I was completely dumbfounded.

Twelve Lives Pieces of Copper Statues, bone pearl necklaces, and Deer Horn Hammers appeared one by one in front of me. Each piece of the artifacts was placed very close to each other, clearly because of the limited space. Heavens, the Ancient Cultural Relics in this secret underground tunnel can open dozens of museums. The sight of so many Ancient Cultural Relics makes me want to suffocate.

Any one of these Ancient Cultural Relics would be able to fetch an astronomical price, right?

At that moment, I suddenly realised that this hidden place was probably built by someone to hide the Ancient Cultural Relics.

Thinking about how the Little Princess said that the Lotus Gang smuggled Ancient Cultural Relics but was unable to find any evidence, a thought flashed across my mind: This place, could it be that the Lotus Gang used it to smuggle cultural relics?

The innumerable jewels in the tunnel made me wonder if I was dreaming. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't.

The hunger in my stomach brought me back to reality from the Ancient Cultural Relics that filled my vision. I couldn't eat what I ate before, after all. I didn't want to be a miser that starved itself to death while hugging an ancient item.

I turned and looked at the stone door at the end of the dark room. It seemed to be able to be turned, too, so I composed myself and pushed with all my might.

Rumble

As the heavy stone door turned, I pushed it open. I squinted and took a closer look, discovering a narrower corridor. On one side of the corridor was a pitch-black door.

I composed myself and headed for the door. As soon as I went in, I smelled wine and bacon. There was a light in the doorway, too, and when I pressed the light switch in the doorway, the sight made my heart race. Because I saw several strings of cured meat hanging above the doorway, and in the corner of the doorway was a mountain of wine jars.

It seemed to be a small room for storing food.

"Fuck, there's hope!"

Looking at these pieces of cured meat, my saliva almost dripped down. I didn't care about it and directly grabbed a bunch and started wolfing it down. Although the cured meat was salty and very dry, I ate with satisfaction. People who had been hungry for five days didn't care about anything when they ate.

I ate up the whole piece of the pig's foot in a short while, and almost choked to death in the end!

The heavens were not unkind to me. They actually gave me a life of my own. Thinking about how Little Princess and I were waiting for death at the bottom of the well for the past few days, I felt extremely sarcastic that there was actually a hidden door behind us that could escape.

After eating too much for too long, my stomach would be injured, so I didn't eat much after eating most of the pig's feet. I burped and found a pig's foot to take to the Little Princess.

When I returned to the bottom of the well, Little Princess was still unconscious and motionless. I was very worried.

I used the ground water to soak the cured meat, and then tore it into pieces and stuffed it into Little Princess's mouth, hoping that she would be able to eat it.

"Mengmeng, hurry up and get up to eat. I've found something to eat." I shook Little Princess, but Little Princess was still unconscious. I had no choice but to find a blue and white porcelain bowl to fill the bowl with water and boil some meat paste into a soup. Then, I held onto Little Princess's mouth with my fingers and slowly drank it down.

However, Little Princess didn't move at all and the broth was stuck in her throat, unable to be swallowed. Helpless, I could only bend my body and use the method of mouth to mouth to place the broth into her mouth. Then, I spit it into her mouth and let her eat it …

As I drank, I prayed in my heart for Little Princess to wake up. Even if she had to take a bite, as long as she still had the strength to eat, there was hope for her to survive.

But, even if I spit the soup into Little Princess's mouth to blow on it, he still wouldn't budge an inch.

The soup filled her mouth, but she did not swallow it.

Seeing this scene, I fell into despair. My eyes felt a little sore again.

But right at this moment …

"Cough, cough, cough, wow! stinking thief, what are you giving me to drink? It smells so good!" Little Princess's faint voice transmitted over, making her choke.

He woke up!

Hearing Little Princess's voice, golden light suddenly exploded in my heart!
