Volume 1 Volume 1 009 Concentric Treasure Jade
"Thirty-three, what's the matter with you?"
The old man seemed to smell the conspiracy, but his apprentice was a descendant of another generation, and he always felt that he owed him something. So he can still consider the same request.
"Master, the disciple will be considered to have many calamities and difficulties in the future life. I was in Jiaoyuan City a while ago, and if it wasn't for my friends to save me, I would have almost been beheaded to show the public. Although the disciple is not afraid of death, after all, only by keeping a useful body can he have the opportunity to carry forward my Yichen Palace! So, Master, do you think you should leave some magic weapons for your disciple to protect himself?"
At this time, Xiao Yi's eyes had begun to radiate stars, and the pleasure of the conspiracy succeeding was simply not too pleasant.
"Thirty-three, being a teacher is not a stingy person. What kind of baby do you think is suitable for you? If the baby is too rebellious, it will inevitably cause a sensation. At that time, if you are discovered by the Heavenly Dao, even if you are not killed, I am afraid that you will be taken away in advance. The old man said earnestly.
"Master, the disciple just wants a magic weapon to protect himself. After all, I'm too weak now, if the baby is too rebellious, then it's not like I'm waiting for someone else to kill me and grab the treasure?"
Xiao Yi really didn't want to show off any anti-heaven magic weapons, he knew that a treasure that he didn't have the ability to protect would only be a disaster.
"Okay, I promise you to choose two gadgets for you, the heir of the next generation. I'll arrange for your second senior brother to come over......" Before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Yi hurriedly added, "Master, can you please add another ban?"
Without waiting for the old man to answer, Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "That's the case, Master." Tongxin Baoyu has always been a legend of the Baili tribe, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter and exit their secret place casually, right? Even if the master leaves something behind for the disciples, once the Baili people find out, it will inevitably be coveted by some people for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, the disciple wants to trouble the master, can you arrange a small forbidden place to isolate the investigation of the divine sense? so that even if the Baili people enter, they will not find out this secret. ”
When the old man heard Xiao Yi's words, he had no choice but to agree. Xiao Yi was overjoyed, this time he not only helped Yuan Qi get the Tongxin Jade, but also got the talisman treasure.
"Wait, Master, you have to tell the disciple where the things are hidden? Otherwise, the second senior brother will hide the treasure in the Baili Clan, and they won't find it, and the disciple will not be able to find it!"
But Xiao Yi waited for a long time before the voice of the old man came from the opposite side.
"Thirty-three, I just thought about it for the teacher, let's handle this matter for the teacher himself. The old man first asked your second senior brother to arrange the magic circle, and then turned back to the teacher to help you place the magic weapon in person, so you should rest assured, right? At that time, you just need to find a place around the magic circle......" The old man was silent for a while, and after a cup of tea, he continued: "Thirty-three! If you want something for the teacher, you will be buried in the ground in the middle of the stone platform. You don't have to worry that the Baili people will find out this secret. After explaining to the teacher, in order to protect them, this magic circle deliberately placed a piece of concentric jade. You only need to dig a foot further under the treasure jade to see what the teacher left for you. ”
When Xiao Yi heard this, he hurriedly ran to the back of the stone platform. He checked the nearby apprentices, and finally found something strange at the bottom of a place about three feet away from the stone platform.
He dug through the dirt on the surface with a dagger that probed the ground, and found a palm-sized jade plate at a depth of half a foot. Xiao Yi dug down again, and finally found a black jade locket left by his master.
This black jade was obviously in his hand, but Xiao Yi used his divine sense to probe and found that there was nothing in his hand.
"Master, this treasure is good!" Xiao Yi hurriedly opened the jade box, but there was nothing in it except a bamboo leaf.
"What kind of treasure is this? Master can't be too stingy, right?" Xiao Yi took the bamboo leaf and looked up and down, but did not find anything abnormal. Just as he was wondering, the entire ground shook, and the dense fog produced by the magic circle disappeared in an instant. Before Xiao Yi could react, the fog suddenly appeared. After a stunned effort, the bamboo leaf in Xiao Yi's hand suddenly disappeared, and with a tingle in his palm, he was surprised to find that there was a faint mark in the shape of a bamboo leaf in his palm.
Xiao Yat's divine sense invested in this imprint, and found that there was actually a space with a length and width of ten zhang and a height of ten zhang inside. What Master left behind was actually a top-notch storage space, and there was a token floating in the middle of this space.
"What is this? How can I take it out when I put it here? The master who spoke to me just now must regret helping me before. If I ask him now, I won't be able to contact the master who will regret it in the future. Then the things that I can't get my hands on will be taken away!Why don't you go back and let the Seven Spirits try to take them out for me!"
Xiao Yi filled in the pit and stepped on it again, before putting the jade plaque in his arms. Back in front, Yuan Qi was still looking for it, so he didn't urge, and sat cross-legged on the ground to continue to exercise his divine sense.
"Xiao Daoyou, I checked just now, and I didn't find any trace of Tongxin Baoyu, it seems that this time it was in vain. ”
Harata was not satisfied with this result, but had no choice but to give up. It seems that she has to look for new clues again, and she will not give up until the last moment.
"Let's get out. ”
Harasu took out the incense burner and pressed it lightly on the top cover, and the white smoke escaped from it. She stretched out her hand and motioned for Xiao Yi to hold her, feeling something strange in her hand, she didn't show displeasure, just held Xiao Yi's hand and walked out with him.
Quietly passing through the guards, the two of them walked all the way to the door of the original house.
"Don't play with irrelevant things in the future. You don't know who your companions are, because you don't have to be friends to go on adventures with you. In many cases, even enemies of different races may travel in groups for the common good. You'd better remember not to do it again next time. ”
Yuan Qi wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Xiao Yi.
"What are you going to do? You can let go. ”
Yuan Qi didn't expect Xiao Yi to be such a frivolous person. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yi had died once to save herself, she would probably turn her face immediately.
"Tongxinyu, don't you want it?"
Xiao Yiyi grabbed Yuan Qi's hand, stuffed the jade plate firmly in her palm, and then walked in with Qiling in his arms.
"Concentric ......"
Yuan Qi looked down at the jade plate in his hand, showing a look of disbelief. This jade plate is only half an inch thick, and there is a thumb-thick hole in the center. The front of the jade plate is carved with a coiled dragon, with simple lines, surrounded by auspicious clouds. Behind it is a circle of carved clouds of Baifu, in the clouds one by one bats lifelike, although the whole is only the size of a palm, but the ninety-nine bats on it are all finely carved. To be able to carve such an intricate bat between these square inches, even if it is not a treasure, even if it is just ordinary jade, it will be regarded as a treasure.
When Yuan Qi injected spiritual power into the jade plate, the jade that was originally just carved suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a peaceful spiritual power slowly emanated from the jade plate, and the coiling dragon on it also seemed to come to life.
"It's really a concentric jade!"
Yuan Qi hurriedly withdrew his spiritual power and put the jade plate into a sandalwood box. She put the wooden box in the storage bag, let out a long breath, and calmed down again before entering her room.
"Thank you for your help. Daoyou is gracious, the concubine is toothless and unforgettable, please accept the novelty!"
As a monk, Yuan Qi actually gave Xiao Yi a gift of ten thousand blessings, which surprised Xiao Yat. He hurriedly helped Yuan Qi up, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"Why does the fairy say that it is novel?
Seeing Xiao Yi's face full of doubts, Yuanqi's cheeks were slightly red, and he whispered: "The concubine's body is novel, and the number is Yuanqi." Fellow cultivators generally only know that the concubine body is called the original fairy, but only the people in the family will call the concubine body with a novelty. Xiao Daoyou's gift of jade is like recreation, and he deserves this gift. ”
"Absolutely not!" Xiao Yi hurriedly bowed.
"The fairy is overrated, this is the ......" Xiao Yi hesitated for a while, and suddenly saw the seven spirits beside him, and immediately responded: "It's the seven spirits, just now the seven spirits were disobedient and ran around to turn over the soil, and then they found Tongxin Baoyu." So Xiao Yi, the fairy's gift, is really ashamed. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Qi looked at the seven spirits suspiciously, and at this time, the monkey turned out a bunch of grapes out of nowhere, and was carefully selecting the largest one.
"Is it actually it?" Yuan Qi looked at the Seven Spirits in disbelief, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yi, and then suddenly said, "It must be! Yes, I am so stupid! How could I have forgotten that the predecessors of the Seven Spirits were skilled?"
"How good is it?" Xiao Yi looked at Qiling, his mind in confusion. This monkey is good at diving, and it seems that apart from this, he doesn't think it has anything extraordinary!
Seeing Yuan Qi digging out a bunch of fruits from his storage bag, Xiao Yi also smiled helplessly. Maybe this kind of thank you can make her more receptive?
Later, Yuan Qi decided to leave the Baili Clan, and now that she has obtained Baoyu, she will go back to save her father. Now she didn't want to stay outside for a moment, and before she had time to say goodbye to the village chief, she stepped on the flying sword and broke through the air.
"Seven Spirits, let's go find dog meat!"
Xiao Yi looked at the white mist that disappeared from the original habitat, and the corners of his mouth curled. Seven Spirits quickly climbed onto Xiao Yi's shoulder, one small paw grabbed Xiao Yi's hair, the other paw pointed forward, and his mouth let out a cheerful cry.
"Squeak! squeak!"
Although there was a lot of fog in front of him, Xiao Yi seemed to have no discomfort within five zhang. He soon came to the seaside pier, and the dog meat quickly surfaced at the sound of his cries.
On a reef and tidal flat on the island, Xiao Yi stretched out his palm and said to Qiling: "This is one of my storage spaces, and there is something in it." I can't take it out now, can you help me take it out? Let's study it together. ”
"Squeak, squeak!"
Seven Spirits stroked the mark in his palm, raising his eyes to look into Xiao Yi's eyes from time to time. Its anxious face was exchanged for Xiao Yi's speechlessness.
"Dog meat, what does it say? Translate it for me. ”
"Master, the monkey said that this is a birthmark, and it wonders if you are not cultivating well, and you are delirious and hallucinating?"
"I said it's space, why are you two still suspicious? I don't believe you, look at this!"
Xiao Yi took out the black jade box in his arms, and was snatched by Qiling before he got it. It took the jade box and observed it carefully, and finally looked at the sky with joy and roared, and the joy simply broke through the race.
"Dog meat, what's the situation? Are Seven Spirits so excited to take a box?"
Dog Meat hurriedly exchanged a few words with Qiling, and then asked tentatively: "Master, the monkey said that this is a treasure." It asked if you could give it to it? It said that this kind of thing would help it in its cultivation, and maybe it could even help it break through to a realm. ”
Xiao Yi originally only let the master hide the treasure that he gave to him, but now that he got the thing, this black jade box naturally lost its meaning. Since the Seven Spirits like it so much, then simply push the boat down the river and give it to it.
Hearing that Xiao Yi had given the jade box to him, Qiling looked at him one after another in personification. Finally, he stuffed the jade box directly into his mouth, and this action frightened Xiao Yi hurriedly hugged it over, opened its mouth and examined it carefully. In the end, Xiao Yi was surprised to find that Qiling's mouth was empty. I didn't expect this monkey to have a space that he didn't notice. Xiao Yi suddenly thought that the Seven Spirits had taken out two Spirit Enhancement Fruits from their mouths, could it be that this monkey's cheek pouch was a storage space?
Xiao Yi returned to the fishing village, and at this time there were already a lot of Baili people gathered in the village. Seeing Xiao Yi coming back, the village chief responded with a smile.
"And little brother, you came just in time. Tomorrow a fishing boat will come back from our village, and this trip will not only catch a boatload of fish, but also find a box. It's just that the gathering is too far away, and the old decay is not sure what exactly is inside. But just looking at its appearance, it is also extremely precious. Since the little brother is a cultivator and wants to come and see a wide range of knowledge, why don't you join us tomorrow to see what is going on?"
Xiao Yi also agreed when he heard this. That night, the whole village set up a simple banquet for Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi said that Yuan Qi was in a hurry to go back in advance, and everyone also expressed their understanding.
"Village Chief, He X is an outsider, why don't the village get the treasure chest and inspect it privately, but still inform He X? Aren't you afraid that this news will spread out and cause trouble to the village?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the village chief smiled and said, "The rules left by my ancestors, where my Baili clan is located, is a place without treasures. Nothing outside the body is to be spoken. If anyone wants to take it, it will be him. Therefore, for 10,000 years, the cultivation realm has known that my Baili clan has no oil and water. ”
Facing the village chief's calmness, Xiao Yi was also speechless. The Baili clan who dare to love people has survived for hundreds of thousands of years without collecting money, and it has become a habit in their bones.
Everyone went back one after another, and in the end, only Xiao Yi was left standing in the fog in a daze. There are really no secrets on this island, so why don't you run for nothing?
The next afternoon, the villagers gathered near the pier. Yesterday, the village chief said that two fishermen stopped their boats here.
Xiao Yi saw that the person who came was not Tang Liushan, and he also felt that there was no breakthrough, and he was surrounded by everyone and came to a large hall together. Seeing the two fishermen come in with heavy boxes, Xiao Yat was sure that this box should be a very valuable thing.
"Did you open it before, what's inside?"
It is said that all of them have the power of divine sense, but everyone deliberately did not release the inside of the investigation. A lot of times I don't do anything because I respect others.
"Uncle Village, it's just some silver coins here, and there's no treasure. If you go back and arrange for someone to go ashore to buy some daily necessities, you will not bring disaster to our people because of wealth. ”
A fisherman smiled and opened the box, revealing a chest full of silver coins. If this is exchanged for gold coins, it may be a hundred, which is nothing to a cultivator, but if it is a mortal, a hundred gold coins is already an extremely rich family.
"You two are so lucky to be able to get back so many silver coins, it's okay, it's okay. The village chief turned his head to look at Xiao Yi on the side, and deliberately amplified his voice and said, "Do you have any opinions with the little brother? ”
Xiao Yi knew that the village chief deliberately let himself see the property in public, so he had to smile awkwardly and nodded.
"Alright, let's carry it down. Go back and arrange for the two of you to go ashore, so let's both go back. The village chief said to the two with satisfaction. It seems that he himself has let go of a piece of his heart.
"Uncle, this is Lan Yan's filial piety to you. She said that the money is at your disposal to buy something for the village. And she also said...... She said...... The man was very nice to her. ”
The fisherman's voice grew quieter and quieter, and the last sentence was almost inaudible. But this sentence made the village chief's face fall instantly.
"Then throw the box into the sea. She's no longer my daughter, and she's not from the Baili tribe anymore. The old decay doesn't need her to pretend to do what kind of filial piety her children do. This thing, the old decay will not appreciate his subordinates. ”
After speaking, the village chief walked out of the hall, and although everyone still persuaded him, he never stopped in the slightest.
"What's going on, why is the village chief so angry?"
Xiao Yi looked at everyone with a confused face, but no one took the initiative to answer his question, and finally everyone left the hall one after another, leaving Xiao Yi alone.
"How do you feel that something is wrong with the Baili Clan? I seem to have thought of something, but why can't I remember it?"
Xiao Yi felt as if he had touched something important, but no matter how much he thought about it, he only found a hint just now, and then he forgot about it.
Since there was not much difference between going back to the island and being here, Xiao Yat simply stayed on the island for a few days. In this way, he could continue to exercise his senses, and he could also recall the thoughts that flashed through him at that time.
Tang Liushan and the others had been to Xiao Yi after they came back, and the two sides had a few polite words before leaving. Xiao Yi was thinking about cultivation here, and before he knew it, more than half a month had passed. In the end, when his cultivation was fruitless, he had no choice but to leave.
This time he came to the village chief's place, knocked on the door and went in to say goodbye, but as he expected, there was nothing to keep, and Tang Liushan was also arranged for Tang Liushan to send him ashore.
Before leaving, the village chief specially sent him to the dock and instructed him earnestly: "My little brother has suffered in my clan for the past few days! After the little brother returns, if any mortal asks about my clan, I hope to avoid this topic as much as possible. If the cultivator mentions our clan, then the little brother can tell the truth. Our clan can be said to have nothing to offer, even the discarded box brother has seen it. It's just some ordinary money, and it's still not a treasure. ”
Xiao Yi nodded in agreement, there is really nothing here that makes people greedy and venture in. The village chief's daughter also sent a box......
No! Xiao Yi's face changed suddenly. He finally realized what he was missing.
