Chapter 182 Infer the truth, explore the secret library alone
Benefit!
The vast majority of monks' reasons for disputes are interests.
Especially when there is no grievance or enmity, if there is malice and vicious thoughts, there will only be benefits.
Qin Yang looked at the four characters "Wanyong Trading Company" with a sneer on his lips.
One of the simplest issues that was overlooked before is that Wanyong Company is a businessman in the monk world. Businessmen pursue profit. As long as there is profit, they will be there. If there is a big enough profit, they will do anything.
Different worlds, but this is the unchanging truth.
Thinking of the time when he was in Chenghai Prefecture, he deliberately revealed the news to the senior management of Wanyong Company. At that time, he seized on this and knew that this was something beneficial to Wanyong Company. The senior management of Wanyong Company would definitely cooperate with him.
But after coming here, I ignored this key point, ignoring that even a semicolon shopkeeper in a state is actually a businessman...
They are all for profit.
Thinking from this perspective, many questions suddenly become clear.
The top management of Wanyong Company put themselves here. On the one hand, they want to leave Chenghaizhou to prevent the previous incidents from being exposed. Even if it is just what they think is the truth, they do not want to be exposed. Leaving themselves here is the most typical avoidance.
risk.
Directly promoting himself to the position of Chen Cangzhou's third shopkeeper was an exception and he was able to kill two birds with one stone.
The two shopkeepers in Chen Cangzhou are acting a little strangely. If you think about it carefully at this time, the person in charge of Wanyong Company probably just wants to use his waste and come here to disrupt the situation...
Without ever seeing each other, there was only a letter of appointment.
In other words, one's own life or death is not actually important. As long as you come here, regardless of life or death, it will cause changes here.
While alive, there will be two shopkeepers who will take the initiative to persecute you. If you don't want to die, you must resist.
It's better to die, the secrets ahead can be buried forever.
Moreover, in just a short period of time, Chen Cangzhou had killed two shopkeepers in succession. The senior management of Wanyong Company could do something logically without affecting the overall situation.
For example, sending a person with sufficient strength and skills to cut through the mess quickly and forcefully take over and suppress everything here can also reflect the importance that the top management attaches to the people below.
After all, for a firm, internal stability is one of the prerequisites for stable profits.
Qin Yang looked at the four big characters on the archway and had a lot of thoughts for a moment. These were just the benefits he could think of. There might be more that he couldn't imagine...
Thinking about the temptations of the first and second shopkeepers these days, even if they repeatedly stated that they had no interest in rights or management, and that they just wanted to use the name of third shopkeeper, they would not let them go.
In other words, his mere existence would seriously threaten the interests of both of them.
Moreover, it is only the identity of the third shopkeeper that threatens them, not himself.
"Secret vault."
Qin Yang silently recited these two words.
From the perspective of profit, combined with the identity of the third shopkeeper, the only thing that can be thought of is the secret warehouse.
The answer may lie in the Chen Cangzhou secret vault of Wanyong Company.
All valuable items in Wanyong Company, as long as they are not sold or are temporarily stored, will be kept in the secret vault according to regulations.
In a state, only three shopkeepers can enter the secret vault. Anyone else who enters will definitely die.
The formation restrictions and traps there are not as gentle as the stores that welcome guests.
The biggest function of the array prohibition here in the store is actually just to warn and delay. After all, these things are very dangerous.
When opening the door to welcome guests, you must always consider various possibilities. There is a possibility that a guest may accidentally step into the restrictions of these formations. As long as there is an accidental casualty, it will greatly damage the golden sign of Wanyong Company.
But it's different in the secret warehouse. Everything there is for the purpose of trapping and killing. Any outsiders who have ideas about the secret warehouse will face a lifeless ending. At this point, Wanyong Company will never
If you don't show mercy, that's where the company's greatest wealth lies in a state.
Even if you just enter the secret vault to get a spiritual stone, one of the three shopkeepers must go in personally before you can come out safely.
Qin Yang had a weird smile on his face.
Originally, I really didn't plan to enter the secret vault to take a look. After all, I didn't want to throw away this vest yet.
But now, it's almost time to throw away this vest.
Everything in the secret vault is registered. Even the three shopkeepers record everything on the spot every time they go in and out, what they take out, and what they put in.
It can make these two shopkeepers have murderous intention and take action without any grievance or enmity.
If the answer is in the secret vault, that means this thing is not in the record at all!
But this thing happened to appear in the secret vault, and it had huge benefits, enough to make them take risks.
This benefit is great enough for them to work together to eliminate a possible third competitor.
And none of them got this benefit.
I think this is how the original third shopkeeper died...
Why die in Yidaoxia? Nine times out of ten, that's nonsense.
After thinking about this in his mind, Qin Yang laughed, patted the ugly donkey's head gently, and asked him to continue walking forward.
After leaving the city, just after turning a corner, Qin Yang pulled off a piece of hair, blew it casually, and turned into a clone, landing on the back of the ugly donkey.
"Slowly walk towards Yidaoxia, don't be in a hurry."
After giving instructions, Qin Yang watched the clone ride away on the ugly donkey, while he casually arranged a restraint and hid it in place.
Qin Yang leaned against the tree and waited quietly. Not long after, he saw two people chasing after each other, hanging far behind the clone.
Oh, I really sent someone to follow me...
Qin Yang sneered and waited until everyone left before landing, swaying, rubbing his cheeks, and transformed into a dull man with a yellow face, returning to the city.
Wandering all the way back to Wanyong Store.
Instead of entering through the main entrance, he boldly stepped into the formation restrictions surrounding the store.
The formation restrictions here seemed to have lost their power, allowing Qin Yang to shuttle through them.
This is one of the benefits of the three shopkeepers. The store's formation prohibition is ineffective against the three shopkeepers. It will not cause the slightest change if the person setting up the formation personally steps into it.
After crossing the area densely covered with formation restrictions, we entered the interior of the store and walked around in a circle.
Qin Yang couldn't help but grin.
The first shopkeeper is personally receiving a big customer. Calculating the time, the second shopkeeper should go to inspect the spiritual field...
Qin Yang rubbed his cheeks, changed his clothes, and instantly transformed into the second shopkeeper.
All the way along the restricted zone of the formation, we entered its core, came to a rockery, took out the identity token, and after activating it, we immediately saw that the rockery was slightly dented, and a hole emerged.
After entering it, there is a dark void behind the entrance of the cave. The surrounding chaotic and violent wind blows, and the colorful aurora penetrates the void. It looks extremely far away. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.
Under this beauty, there is a great danger hidden. Just by sensing the extremely distant fluctuation, Qin Yang knew that if he fell into it, he would definitely end up dead. Even if he didn't die, he would be lost forever.
in.
In front of the cave, pieces of neatly cut gray and white stones are suspended in the void, extending all the way into the unknown darkness.
This is the entrance to Chen Cangzhou's secret treasury. Even the three shopkeepers cannot know the true location of the secret treasury. What they can know and enter is just a portal here.
Traveling all the way across the void, you can reach the secret vault. There is no other way but here.
Qin Yang took a few glances at the aurora flowing slowly in the void, then stepped on the stone slabs and headed towards the depths of darkness.
After walking for a while, when I looked back, the portal at the rear had disappeared, and I could only see a road composed of stone slabs, extending all the way into the darkness behind.
After spending a stick of incense, I finally saw a stone door floating in the void in front of me. The end of the stone road was here.
The stone door is all gray and white, and it looks like the same material as the stone slab. It exudes a calm atmosphere, as if it has never changed. On the two stone doors, there is a relief of a strange beast that looks like a cat and a tiger. The two beasts have their eyes closed.
The front paws are intertwined together, and the tails below are also intertwined, making the entire stone door look like there is no gap at all.
The identity token was activated again, and the halo shone on the stone gate.
The relief sculpture of the alien animal on the stone door slowly opened its eyes, its intertwined tails and claws separated from each other. In the center of the stone door, a stone seam appeared, and the stone door slowly opened.
After the stone door was opened, two relief sculptures of strange beasts seemed to have come to life, standing on both sides, staring at Qin Yang.
Qin Yang looked calm and stepped into the stone door to himself, only glancing at the two strange beasts lightly.
The most favorite thing of the Baozhao of strange beasts is guarding treasures. They do not covet treasures, they just like to guard the treasures and sleep. It is said that in ancient times, the treasure houses of some people with great magical powers were guarded by them.
It's a pity that these two are only descendants with a trace of Baozhao blood, and they are already dead. Only the remnants of their souls are attached to the stone gate, instinctively guarding it according to their habits in life.
If a living Baozhao were here, even a descendant with only a trace of Baozhao bloodline, he would turn around and leave, not daring to test it at all.
But now, after Qin Yang entered the stone gate, the stone beast returned to the stone gate on its own and turned into a relief sculpture without stopping him at all.
Qin Yang played with the identity token and silently praised the person who created this thing again.
The anti-counterfeiting function of this thing is too strong, and everyone relies too much on it. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have the chance to enter here so smoothly.
The stone door behind him was closed, and in front of him was a huge underground cave. There were rows of shelves densely packed in the cave, and there were also large or small depressions on the surrounding stone walls.
The fluctuations in spiritual power are extremely obscure, as if they are being forcibly suppressed, but upon closer inspection, the fluctuations here are almost converging into a river, and I don’t know how many treasures are stored here.
Qin Yang looked up, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
Wanyong Company really spent a lot of money. They found an obsidian mountain somewhere and dug a hole in it. There were no exits in all directions. The only exit was connected to the void.
Obsidian is one of the very few stones that can isolate spiritual consciousness and is almost completely unresponsive to real energy. It is also as hard as iron and is extremely difficult to mine. Generally, the purest physical practitioners are recruited to work as coolies.
The air here is extremely turbid, making it difficult to breathe, and you can faintly feel that this place is extremely deep underground.
I originally thought that this place should be protected by the terrifying formation restrictions. Who would have thought that the secret vault is actually built underground, and it is also in an obsidian vein. The so-called formation restrictions may be specially leaked to deceive outsiders...
There are comparable formations here to restrict the security, and it is too safe. It is impossible for anyone to find this place from the outside.
What shocked Qin Yang was not these, but the depressions on the stone wall. Although most of them were empty, there were some depressions where treasures were stored. The things that were restricted and trapped in them all had auras soaring to the sky. Many of them were.
Things even kept wandering around and bumping into each other within the confinement area, trying to escape.
"Dazzling steel ore is extremely hard and has extremely high real energy conductivity. It can be used as the main material for low-grade treasures such as flying swords..."
"Sky blue grass has the effect of expanding and stabilizing the sea of qi. The cultivators of Shenhai need it most..."
…
There are instructions and labels in every depression and under every box on the shelf. There are many types of things here. Without these things, I am afraid that even the store manager may not be able to understand them all.
Most of them are treasure materials, there are very few magic weapons, and there is not even a single magic weapon. At last, they are spiritual weapons, and then there are some formations, formations and flags, a wide variety of secret treasures with different effects.
Just looking at it for a moment, Qin Yang thought thoughtfully. There are very few finished products here, which is normal if you think about it carefully. After all, every material is extremely precious. If it is made into a finished product, it will limit the use of the materials. Every material may have
There are several or even dozens of uses, and monks who really need these precious materials will usually choose raw materials.
For example, a pill requires seventeen kinds of raw materials. Each of these raw materials has at least a dozen uses. If one of the seventeen raw materials is specially selected and refined into a pill, the success rate will be
Not to mention, there are probably only a very small number of monks who need this elixir.
From the two aspects of stable profit income and expanding customer base, it is naturally best to reserve materials.
"Woo..."
Just as Qin Yang was deep in thought, a low roar came.
From behind a shelf not far away, a large, hairless, black dog with a collar on one end, about ten feet tall, slowly walked out.
The black dog stared at Qin Yang, lowered his head, and roared.
Qin Yang turned around and looked a little surprised.
It's normal that there are other guards here, but how can this black dog be so malicious...
Suddenly, Qin Yang stared at the sword mark on the black dog's head for a long time, then stretched out his hand and found a blue-white long sword in his hand.
When the black dog saw the sword, he bared his teeth and barked wildly. He arched his back and looked like he was about to pounce on someone and bite someone. But then, he saw the black dog bared his teeth and had a fierce look on his face...
Slowly step back...
Qin Yang touched his cheek and suddenly laughed strangely.
It’s fitting that the second shopkeeper should take the blame. Well, what’s the point of bullying a stupid dog...
