Chapter 553
Xiao Man secretly sneered in his heart: Together, this Gongsun family still pays attention to the level of respect and inferiority? Listening to the ranking Gongsun Ruxue and the two little girls are cousins, but although the two little girls call her sister, they are like little girls in the old society in front of her, and they scold her!
Nineteen, who was standing under the corridor, was obviously very dissatisfied with Gongsun Ruxue, and when she saw the two cousins walking away, she stomped her feet, muttered a curse in her mouth, and followed them to catch up.
Xiao Man naturally followed the nineteenth, Gongsun Li set the time, and told his great-granddaughter Gongsun Ruxue Shen to go over on time in the middle of the night to add medicine, what kind of pill is being refined, right?
Five or six steps after the nineteenth followed behind Gongsun Ruxue and Seventeen, Xiao Man followed him like a shadow, listening to the conversation between Gongsun Ruxue and Seventeen in front:
"Sixteenth sister, you don't have to be sad, didn't the great ancestor say that day, as long as you get the spirit plant, you can refine the high-grade pill, and it will be easy to restore your cultivation when the time comes!"
"Hmph, that's what you have to do with Lingzhi. ”
"Uncle brought back that girl, gave her the best medicine to eat the best food, and she was almost raised in the village under the mountain, as long as she was sent back, it should be fine, right?"
"If it's really that easy, why do the elders in the family bother to be like this? The difficulty is that the sect that has mastered the spirit plant is not easy to provoke...... Alas, I also complain that the elders don't have a long-term vision, if our family preemptively marries the Gu family, there is nothing to do now, and we can still get the spirit plant without much effort!" Gongsun Ruxue began to dream again, and her tone was sad and depressed.
Xiao Man is angry and funny, what kind of brain does this person have? It's too imaginable!
The nineteen lips who were walking behind tightened and loosened, looking very anxious, and finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Sixteenth sister, you shouldn't think about those unhappy things at this time, the great ancestor said that you should not be unstable when you go to add medicine......"
"Shut up! I need you to teach? I followed my great-grandfather when I was two or three years old, and when I was ten years old, I added all kinds of pills that my great-grandfather had refined, observed the fire, and made notes on each pile.
Seventeen also glanced at Nineteen: "To study, you have to have the appearance of learning, stay quietly, do more things and talk less, don't squeak and no one will be dumb for you!"
After speaking, he turned back and brought up another topic with Gongsun Ruxue: A few days ago, Gongsun Ruxue gave the medicine to a sick woman in the Zhuangzi under the mountain, and it would be fine after taking two pairs......
Sure enough, Gongsun Ruxue listened to it, and her mood improved, and she was much calmer and calmer when she talked about the "medicine" this time.
"For this furnace pill, the two ancestors have been preparing for seven or eight years, how much effort and financial resources have been spent to collect enough medicinal materials, most of them are handled by me, as soon as the fire is turned on, it will be stared at for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and now it is only halfway, the great ancestor has to go out for seven days at this juncture, and I am the only one in the family looking at the Danfang, how can I not be cautious? You are just a new apprentice, if something really happens, the great ancestor will only ask me, is it possible that you can still be responsible and punished? I don't know what you're doing in a hurry!"
Nineteen lowered his eyebrows and pouted, not daring to make another sound.
A few people walked into a quaint and quiet old courtyard, Xiao Man looked around, and concluded that this should be the place where Gongsun Li lived.
Go straight to the upper room, through the meditation hall to the backyard, but it is an open space, and then through the hall, only to reach the Danfang, worthy of the Xiuzhen family, although the Gongsun family Danfang looks dark and not in the middle of winter, but it is very magnificent, five tall upper rooms, three of which put three cast copper Dan furnaces, now they are all fired, each Dan furnace is guarded by two young men, and there are people who keep walking around under the corridor and under the steps.
Gongsun Ruxue walked into the Dan room to inspect the fire one by one, told the young man who watched the fire a few words, and then came out, turned to the room on the far side on the left and pushed the door in, seventeen and nineteen did not follow, Xiaoman approached the door and felt a resistance, it was the ban set by Gongsun Li, she couldn't break it, and she couldn't get in.
Standing by the door and waiting for a while, Gongsun Ruxue came out, carefully holding a wooden box in his hand, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly felt like an ant bitten in his knee socket, his legs were weak, and his feet were tripped because he was wearing a robe, and his body rolled to the ground uncontrollably, so he screamed a few times, and people saw that the wooden box held by Gongsun Ruxue like a baby in his arms was thrown out, and it was scattered, whether it was medicinal herbs or something, it was scattered!
Two things that looked like dry camellia fruits rolled to Xiao Man's feet, and Xiao Man took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy helping Gongsun Ruxue and helping to pick up the medicinal materials on the ground, and then threw out a handful of medicinal materials that he had just passed by from the dustpan where the medicinal herbs were dried......
The information talisman that had been pinched in his left hand shattered into powder at this time, and Xiao Man was very speechless: What is Gu Shaojun doing? Can't you wait five more minutes before summoning her? Even if it's three minutes!
Xiao Man finally delayed for two minutes before leaving, she had to watch Gongsun Ruxue climb the ladder tremblingly under the urging of everyone, and add those medicinal materials to the Dan furnace, her heart was very happy!
Even if you are a little suspicious and worried, you want to take the list and carefully check and check the medicinal materials in that wooden box, but the time has come, and if you don't add these medicinal materials by mistake, this pot of pills will be 100% wasted!
She can only bite the bullet!
Xiao Man went out along the way, and had fun while running: Let you be brazen Xiao thinks that my fiancé is still disgusting with me, and I don't know what these pills look like when they are baked? It is best that Gongsun Li's punishment is heavier and more miserable, or directly support Nineteen to replace Gongsun Xue, and see if she still has the time to think about other people's fiancés.
Xiao Man hurriedly ran to the foot of the mountain in the east and met Gu Shaojun, who came down to pick her up, Gu Shaojun asked worriedly, "Is it okay?"
Xiao Man shook his head guiltily: "It's okay! I'm sorry I'm two minutes late!"
Gu Shaojun bent his fingers and lightly clapped her forehead: "Who are you talking to to say I'm sorry? But being late like this is not a good habit, so don't take it as an example!"
"Yes, boss. ”
The two walked up the mountain together, and all kinds of medicinal materials could be seen everywhere along the way, the medicinal herb planting method of the Gongsun family was indeed a little special, Xiao Man observed a few places, and thought of going back to propose to Ah Gong and Uncle Jiabao.
There are five retreat cultivation caves on the east mountain, according to Gu Shaojun, there are also several on the west mountain, you can imagine the prosperity of the Xiuzhen family back then, Gu Shaojun took Xiao Man into a cave located under the mountainside, the position is low, follow him around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw the Songming torch, Gu Shaojun said that this was what he had just come in, hugged Xiao Man to a stone wall, and took out a handkerchief to tie it to Xiao Man's eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you want to experience the mood of discovering the treasure cave of the forty thieves?"
Xiao Manleng paused: "You found out?"
"I was originally interested in the pictures and texts carved on the stone wall, so I reached out and touched the lines, but I didn't expect to touch the mechanism...... What, don't you try?"
Try, how can you not try?
Xiao Man shouted with a smile: "Open the sesame door!"
Gu Shaojun pressed a certain organ, only to hear the rumbling sound, the whole cave was suspected of an earthquake, Xiao Man leaned on Gu Shaojun's arms, he took off his handkerchief, opened his eyes and looked, stunned: there was a huge cave in front of him, neatly stacked with boxes, it was the kind of large box with copper nails used for darts in ancient times, and the front five or six boxes were smashed open, which should be Gu Shaojun's handwriting, and the smashed boxes were full of gold bars, silver ingots, and all kinds of jewelry and jade antiques......
At that time, Gongsun Li and Gongsun Xiang proposed compensation for themselves, and said that the two rings were already 90% of the property of the Gongsun family, although the two elders of Gu and Tang may not really believe it, but they lied too smoothly, and they simply opened their eyes and said nonsense, you don't want to pull it down, but you just said such a large amount, making people think that the Gu and Tang families took advantage of the Gongsun family, and they really fooled people as fools!
When they came, they overheard Gongsun Li and Gongsun Xiang chatting privately at the entrance of the cave outside the valley, and they said that the Gongsun family still has nine treasures, and the property in the two rings together may be worth all the caves in front of them!
Of course, if Gongsun converts the ring and the two ancestral exercises in the ring that they didn't have time to withdraw into wealth, then it will naturally be worth as much as he says!
Gu Shaojun patted Xiao Man lightly: "What are you doing? Put it away and leave! Nine treasures, yes? This is one, when I go back, I will immediately refine the storage ring, and before the two old men inspect their treasures, I will collect the other three places they said first, and then keep an eye on their movements, the treasure hunt is very exciting, if you want to play, play bigger, see who is not convinced! Play with us, one set inside and outside, then they will not be able to find a place to cry!"
Putting away the treasure of a cave is just a matter of a few waves for Xiao Man, and in the blink of an eye, the cave is empty, Gu Shaojun and Xiao Man withdrew, pressed the mechanism to restore the cave wall to its original state, and then extinguished the pine torch, and the two walked out of the cave together, preparing to go out of the valley along the way.
Gu Shaojun saw that Xiao Man was still a little unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "There are more interesting places in the world than here, as long as I am free in the future, I will take you out!"
Xiao Man nodded: "Okay, you have to remember!"
"Don't worry, that's my favorite thing!"
Before they got to the foot of the East Mountain, they saw a few figures rushing from the town, the speed was quite fast, presumably the rumbling sound from the cave just now was more or less transmitted to alarm people, but even if they came up, they couldn't find anything abnormal, because the place where the ancestors retreated was a forbidden place, and with the ban, ordinary clansmen could not enter, and the cave where the treasure was hidden was found by Gu Shaojun and kept so intact, it seems that usually only Gongsun Li and Gongsun Xiang will open the door of the cave to inspect one or two, and ordinary clansmen will not know.
At most, they will be surprised that the patriarch and the clan elder are not at home, why is there still a sound of the mountain gate? How to explain and digest each other is their business, Gu Shaojun and Xiao Man can't care so much, hurry back to the city.
