Chapter 999: Various books
To be honest, these weapons didn’t have very high value points. They couldn’t have been placed here because they were afraid that the intruders would take them. Since the intruders came in, they definitely didn’t come for weapons, but for wealth. Then, the reason why they placed so many weapons here must be for hidden weapons and traps. These devices were also designed with a clockwork mechanism similar to the Luban physics theory. When you touch it, it will activate the mechanism and turn it into a hidden weapon. For example, if you were to pick up a spear, it might pierce through your chest! So why did the designer do this? Was he just afraid that someone would take it away? Obviously not. Their existence was actually to conceal the real mechanism that led to the next level! Xu Cheng rubbed his cut ankle and wrapped the wound with a piece of cloth. He stood up and rubbed his foot. It was still fine. Without the help of the ultrasonic system, he was naturally unable to react in time to avoid the attack. Xu Cheng took a deep breath and decided to open up his tortoiseshell. Then, he touched the weapons on the first row to take a look. His speed was very fast. The instant he activated his genetic ability tortoiseshell, he swiftly slid across the first row like he was sliding a keyboard on a piano. However, the weapons around him triggered the clockwork mechanism, and they all stabbed at him. Xu Cheng didn’t Dodge, and he forced himself to use his tortoiseshell to block them. Then, he gritted his teeth and tried the 2nd and 3rd row in one breath. The door he just came in from was closed, and then opened again. Xu Cheng panted as he lay on the ground and let out a low groan. Because the blood poison was acting up, he was in so much pain that he wished he was dead. He looked at the door that just closed and opened again, and he was very confused. Did he make a mistake? However, his eyes were very sharp. He found that there were no white bones outside the door, which meant that the outside was not the place he had just come in from! Xu Cheng quickly rolled and crawled into the stone door, and sure enough, it was a different world. The same door closed and opened again, and a brand new passage was opened! He didn’t know what the principle was. Xu Cheng could confirm from the bones that this tunnel wasn’t the same one that he came from. This was another room, which was the room on the third floor! Xu Cheng saw that this room was even more spacious than the Armory from before. He was surprised to find that inside was the memorial tablet of the Xu family’s ancestors. Xu Cheng saw that the whole Hall was filled with the Xu family’s names, just like a pyramid, and all of them were the Xu family’s ancestors. He walked to the front of the ancestors ‘seats with great devotion and looked at the names carefully. The steps were more than four meters high, and the difference between each seat was 30 centimeters. It had a history of 13 generations. Xu Cheng remembered hearing his dad say that he was the 15th generation of the Xu family, which meant that there were at least three generations of people in the family. Perhaps it was because after the five clans destroyed the Xu family, there was no way to enter since his grandfather’s generation. Thinking of this, Xu Cheng went back and forth to those weapon rooms, picked up a few pieces of wood, and then took out a dagger. He engraved the name of the 14th generation Xu family’s Grandpa and the name of the 15th generation Xu family’s Xu Zhenxiong, making two beiming tablets. Then, he put his grandfather’s tag at the bottom, and then he put his father’s tag one level below. Then, Xu Cheng came to the futon, knelt down, and kowtowed to the ancestors. “The 16th generation of the Xu family, Xu Cheng, kowtows to our ancestors.” Then, after he kowtowed three times, there seemed to be a dent in the place where his forehead touched. The door just now suddenly closed and then opened again. The outside was no longer the Armory, but a passage. Xu Cheng was stunned. However, what shocked him even more was the problem with the mechanism’s design. He suddenly expressed his utmost admiration for the wisdom of the ancestors who set up this mechanism. The mechanism on the third floor was designed to test whether you were a descendant of the Xu family or not, because when you saw these ancestral tablets, only the descendant would kowtow. Outsiders would only move these tablets and trigger the mechanism! Even if they couldn’t find the mechanism, they would still touch the futon. However, the real mechanism was at the place where people knelt and kowtowed. Xu Cheng sincerely expressed his admiration for the designer. After he went to the next floor, he saw that there were even more messy footsteps on the ground than the ones on the first floor. Seeing this, Xu Cheng laughed. He finally knew why only the Xu family could enter this treasure vault. This was because only the Xu family knew how to use the shadow fist, and these steps were to test the more profound understanding of the shadow fist! The first level was to test the beginner’s level of shadow fist. First, you had to confirm that you had the identity of a Xu family member. Therefore, there were only nine footprints there, which was the initial step of the lost fist. However, in this place, it was a test of the steps of a higher level. With Xu Cheng’s perfect understanding of the shadow fist, these seemingly messy steps weren’t a problem for him at all! He smiled confidently, then entered the arena and began the deep footstep Mirage. He entered a no-man’s land, and he didn’t even look at the steps under his feet. However, every move and every step he took was just right. Finally, after he finished performing the entire footstep Mirage, the door behind him closed heavily, and then opened again. This time, in the cave that opened, there was a candle, and there was candlelight inside. After Xu Cheng walked in, it was as if he had just walked into a hidden Pavilion. The stone walls were caved in, and each level had rows of books. There were five rows in total, and all of them were books. Under the candlelight, every book was covered in a thick layer of dust. It explained how much time had passed in this place. Some of the books were even moldy. Xu Cheng took out the dagger in his hand and threw it at a book, trying to see if there were any hidden weapons or traps. However, he was just overthinking, and it seemed like there were no traps on this floor. He picked up a random book. “Demon subduing Vajra claw” was written on the cover? Xu Cheng then saw another piece of paper at the bottom of the book, and it said,”It was an item given to a senior monk of the same sect by a Shaolin senior monk, and the sect was later exterminated. It is an unclaimed item waiting to be collected. ” Xu Cheng was surprised.”It seems like our family used to escort all kinds of goods. Even these kinds of secret books are delivered through the escort agency?” He picked up another book. On the cover, it said: “Lone sword (middle three sword chapters)” Xu Cheng’s eyelids twitched. Then, he looked at the note below the book: The lost item of Jianghu was useless because of the middle sword chapter! “It seems like this book is only a memento.” After Xu Cheng put it back, he read another one. “” Shadow fist “(part two)!” Xu Cheng’s pupils slightly contracted. What the hell? Is this the shadow fist that I learned? There’s a middle part? “Don’t tell me that the one I learned was an incomplete shadow fist?”
