Xu Da originally wanted to deny that the treasure was under the foundation, but in the end, he deduced a new possibility, and after saying it, he felt not very satisfied, and laughed stupidly.

Gao Zixuan keenly heard a question, and said: "You mean, the treasure collector dug an underground dark room in the temple to hide the treasure, but the temple is full of people, isn't he afraid of being discovered when he digs?"

Li Rui frowned and said: "This involves a new question, whether the treasure collector hid the treasure before the temple was built, or the treasure hidden after the temple was built." I think it's better to clarify this question first, which will help us determine the direction of thinking. Gao Zixuan pouted and said, "How can you be sure of this? Do you know when the treasure collector hid the treasure? Do you know when this mountain temple was built?" Li Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know." Gao Zixuan said: "I don't know what you're sure of? Are you sure you have water in your own brain?" haha." ”

Li Rui looked at her with love and hate, if it weren't for Xu Da beside him, he really wanted to grab her into his arms and slap her shrugged little ass a few times, it's good to be a little angry, this girl, if she doesn't get beaten for two days, she will go to the house to expose the tiles, but she laughs at herself vigorously, is it easy to bully her husband?

Xu Da interjected at the right time: "Zixuan, what you said is wrong, although we don't know the time when the treasure was hidden and the time when the temple was built, but with a little reasoning, we can deduce who came first and who came later." ”

Li Rui said: "Yes, according to normal people's thinking, if you want to choose a place to hide treasures, then you will never hide the treasures in a place that is particularly famous nearby and has a particularly large flow of people." In other words, if the temple had been built, the treasure collector would not have brought the treasure over. ”

Xu Da continued: "Yes, I also tend to be the treasure that is hidden first, and the temple that rises later, but the mountain temple is built right on top of the treasure. ”

Gao Zixuan interjected: "Then why did the treasure collector bring the treasure to the mountain?"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and replied easily: "It's very simple, when the bandits enter the village, or the peasant rebel army loots over, or even the army crosses, the head of the family has to hide the treasure in order to keep the family wealth." ”

Gao Zixuan suddenly possessed Huang Rong at this moment, became extremely smart and clever, and asked: "These situations you said, at first glance sound very reasonable, but in fact it is simply nonsense, take one of them as an example, for example, when the bandits are coming, do you think that a large group of bandits rushed to the village, is it possible for the treasure collector to run out with the treasure? It's like this morning, Hu Yibo and they came to my house to snatch my orb, oh, I knew they were guarding outside, and I still ran out with the orb? I'm tired of being alive? I don't have the heart to see it? Unless he can anticipate in advance that the bandits are coming, but how is that possible?"

This is very reasonable, Li Rui's face turned red, and he sneered: "Stinky girl, aren't you also quite able to reason, so why don't you use your brain?"

Gao Zixuan was overjoyed when she saw him deflated, and looked at him playfully: "I don't like reasoning, I just like to raise the bar with you, hehe." ”

Li Rui rolled his eyes at her, thought for a while, and said: "Anyway, what Zixuan said makes sense, it seems that we still have to think about it, why did the treasure collector go all the way to hide the treasure outside the village, if you don't understand this, I'm afraid you won't be able to deduce the treasure place." ”

When the three of them were clueless, an old man suddenly came from the road, in his sixties, thin and gray, but his spirit was very strong, he walked over with his hands behind his back, with a happy smile on his old face, and hummed an old opera in his mouth: "Su San, leave Hongdong County, and come to ...... in front of the street."

None of the three of Li Rui knew what he was doing, and they all looked at him fixedly.

The old man didn't expect that there would be someone here at this moment, and there were three of them at once, and he looked at the three of them with some curiosity, his eyes stayed on Li Rui's face for the longest time, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly asked: "Boy, you are the old Li family in the village, right?"

There are many families surnamed Li in Yongyang Village, but it can really be said that it is a big family, only the Li family where Li Rui is located, since Li Rui's grandfather's generation down, the descendants have spread out and multiplied a lot, and now it can be said that it is the largest family in the village. Therefore, the old Li family that this old man said in his mouth refers to Li Rui, the Li family.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "Uncle, how do you know?" The old man said with a smile: "I know that you are from the Lao Li family by looking at your appearance, and your Lao Li family looks similar, but I haven't seen you much, how many are you from the old family?" Li Rui said honestly: "I am the son of the fourth Li Jianmin." The old man raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "No wonder, it turned out to be Li Jianmin's son, didn't your family move to the city earlier, I said why don't I know you, I know everyone in your Li family...... Actually, I know you too, I've seen you, I saw you when you were young, I have a good relationship with your father, according to the seniority in the village, I still have to call your father the fourth uncle. Li Rui now knows that this old man is also from Yongyang Village, and he is a serious fellow, and said with a smile: "Haha, then it's not an outsider, I have to call you big brother, right?"

The old man waved his hand, signaling that he was not polite, glanced at Gao Zixuan, and asked in wonder: "This big queen, why are you running here?" Li Rui naturally couldn't tell him the truth, and lied: "Oh, these two friends of mine just came from the provincial capital, and they are tired of living in the city, so I will take them over to climb the mountain and see the places I played when I was a child, hehe." Big brother, why are you here?" the old man smiled and said, "I, I'm here to catch the fox." Li Rui was surprised and said, "Fox, there are foxes on this mountain?" The old man said proudly: "You don't know this, there are not only foxes on this mountain, but also small animals such as weasels and badgers." Fox fur is valuable, weasel tail hair can be used as a brush and can be sold, and badger oil for scalding is the best medicine and is also valuable. ”

Xu Da next to him suddenly became interested and asked, "Uncle, how do you catch the fox?" The old man glanced at him with a smile and said, "I can tell you, but don't rob me of business." Otherwise, I'll tell you, you'll be caught, and I'll still catch my fart? My peers are enemies, do you know?" Xu Da laughed and said: "How is it possible? How can I rob you of business? I came to climb the mountain today, and I will go back to the provincial capital tomorrow." The old man just smiled and said with a smile: "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to catch it." Foxes are all monkey spirits, and ordinary people can't catch them. Xu Da said: "You talk about it first, I don't plan to catch it, I just want to hear something new." The old man said: "This is a long way to say, there is a way to grasp it alive, and there is a way to grasp it when it is dead......

Li Rui watched Xu Da talk to the old man with a smile, without the slightest intention of stopping, knowing in his heart that anyway, with this old man here, the three of them would not be able to hunt for treasures, so it was better to see how long he would stay here. If he leaves later, then wait, but if he doesn't plan to leave all afternoon, then the three of them will have to go.

The old man first told Xu Da about interesting things related to foxes: "Foxes are psychic, understand human nature, and are different from other animals. Other animals, like wolves, are hiding from people, and as long as you don't push it, it won't come into the crowd. But foxes are different, foxes like people, like to live with people, while practicing, while learning from people, and when they become essences, they can become people......" Xu Da was surprised when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Really fake?" The old man snorted and said: "Is this still fake? Why are so many animals, such as dogs, cats, and pigs, have no legends of spirits, and there are only the most foxes? There are fox spirits and fox spirits at every turn, and there are many fox spirits in Liaozhai? Isn't it that foxes are human and like to be close to people. Let me tell you, the fox likes to pick a place where people live to make a nest, and it can't be too close, and it is afraid that people will hurt it. So, a lot of the time, it's picking nests in old houses that no one lives in. ”

Xu Da asked again: "Then why did you come here to catch the fox?" The old man said: "I didn't tell you, foxes love to choose places where people have lived, absorb the human flavor there, in fact, it is yang energy, and then it is easy to practice." This is the mountain temple, although it is dilapidated, but the incense and popularity for hundreds of years have not dispersed, so ah, the foxes moved here to make a nest, while practicing, while absorbing the incense gas......" Xu Da listened to him more and more mysterious, and he was skeptical, and said: "Uncle, don't talk about this first, you just say that you haven't caught a fox here?" The old man said: "I can't catch any more than a child." The foxes here almost hate me to death, squeaking at the smell of me, and some of them even learn to scare me away. Hehe, old man, I'm not a vegetarian, when I was young, I killed wolves with my own hands, and I was afraid of a few broken foxes? The more they scared me, the more I came, and I had to catch all their litters from grandpa to grandson. ”

Li Rui couldn't help but interject and asked, "You mean that there is a fox nest in this mountain temple?" But when we walked around the temple just now, we didn't see any fox nests?" The old man smiled: "If the fox nest is so easy to find, it will be the turn of the old man and me to catch the fox?" Li Rui's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked tentatively: "You mean, there is something very secret in this temple that we outsiders can't see?" The old man just laughed, laughed for a while, and said, "You come with me." ”

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was a strange laugh from the north of the mountain temple, which sounded like an old woman holding phlegm in her throat.
