Chapter 325 - 325 High Priest (3)
325 High Priest (3)
“Then how do we get it out?” Shen Yijia was excited. If her beautiful husband said that something was valuable, it was definitely valuable.
Song Jingchen pondered for a moment and said, “We’ll send someone to transport it after a few days.”
“Alright.” Shen Yijia nodded repeatedly.
She thought for a moment and walked to the stone platform to take down the two paintings. She took out a matchstick.
“You’re going to burn them?” Song Jingchen felt that he couldn’t keep up with Shen Yijia’s train of thought.
Shen Yijia didn’t answer and used her actions to tell Song Jingchen that he had guessed correctly.
She felt inexplicably disgusted by the words “Valley of Heavenly Secrets”. Since they had already retired from the world, it was better not to let these words appear in the eyes of the world.
Shen Yijia had no idea that if anyone in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets saw her actions, they would hate her to the core.
However, even if Shen Yijia knew, she would not be afraid. Not to mention burning a portrait of her ancestor, she would even dare to burn down the entire valley in the future.
However, that’s a story for another time.
Next, Shen Yijia waited for the portrait to turn to ashes before picking up the turtle shell on the stone platform and shattering it into pieces.
Song Jingchen saw that she didn’t react to burning the portrait, but his forehead couldn’t help but twitch.
He suspected that Shen Yijia’s strength had no limit. It completely depended on what she wanted to do.
In short, she was his wife. He could not afford to offend her.
After destroying everything related to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, Shen Yijia looked at the night pearls embedded in the stone wall again.
Song Jingchen noticed her gaze and the corners of his mouth twitched. He reminded her, “Those are all embedded in the stone wall. You can’t dig them out.”
If it were anything else, Shen Yijia would definitely believe Song Jingchen’s words. However, this time, she thought that Song Jingchen didn’t believe in her strength.
Most importantly, she could not resist the wealth equivalent to more than ten cities.
Hence, Shen Yijia went to dig.
A loud crack sounded.
She broke off half of a complete Night Pearl, and the remaining half was embedded in the stone wall.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “So my dream of casually raising more beautiful husbands can’t be fulfilled?”
Song Jingchen covered the corners of his mouth with his fist.
Shen Yijia was on the verge of exploding. He felt that if he laughed out loud at this moment, this girl would definitely explode.
In the end, apart from the jade token and the book about the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, the two of them did not take anything with them.
There was no need to mention how depressed Shen Yijia was.
After the previous dynasty was destroyed, the world was divided into three kingdoms. Apart from Great Xia and the Wu Kingdom, there was also the Xuanyuan Kingdom, which was superior to these two dynasties in terms of military strength and economy.
The three countries faced off against each other, restraining each other.
Even if the Xuanyuan Kingdom was stronger in all aspects, they would not dare to attack Great Xia or the Wu Kingdom casually.
This was because once the Xuanyuan Kingdom sent troops to attack one of the countries, in order to prevent their dynasty from becoming its next target, the two countries would definitely band together.
Similarly, the Xuanyuan Kingdom was also afraid that Great Xia would cooperate with the Wu Kingdom, or that one of these two countries would annex the other.
It was precisely because of this restraint that there was less conflict at the borders, temporarily maintaining the illusion of peace.
No one knew that the hidden sanctuary of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets was in the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
“High Priest.”
“High Priest.”
Under the setting sun, a handsome middle-aged man in a black robe walked leisurely on the stone path.
The people who had been working in the fields all day and were about to go home stopped and greeted him when they saw him. The man smiled and nodded in response.
This was a beautiful valley. Apart from the disciples of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, there were also many ordinary citizens who had followed them into seclusion.
They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. They were completely hidden away from the commotion of the world. They relied on themselves for food and clothes.
The man called the high priest came to a cave. There was a wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the cave. On it were the words “Forbidden Area”.
He paused at the entrance of the cave for a moment, stroked his robe, and walked in unhurriedly.
Candlelight burned around the cave. The man walked for about 15 minutes before stopping in front of a stone door.
He fumbled with the stone door a few times, and it slowly opened.
There was a huge iron cage in the stone room, and a woman in white sat inside.
The woman’s black hair flowed freely. Because her back was facing the stone door, her appearance could not be seen clearly.
If one looked carefully, they would discover that the woman’s limbs were all chained up.
“Are you still unwilling to say where you hid the Valley Master’s jade token?” The middle-aged man looked at the slender back and asked.
