Chapter 107: Hidden Treasure
Xiao Jingyu came over and was unconvinced: "Is there anything that our master and apprentice can't solve, and we still have to call your master and Xiao Chen over?" ”
As a result, after staring at the door for a long time, Xiao Jingyu finally decided to go out to fly pigeons and pass on the book. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tianjian Peak is extremely high, and the peak is smoky all year round, and ordinary carrier pigeons can't go up, but the one in Xiao Jingyu's hand was specially trained by Lin Jin on Tianjian Peak, no matter which direction it goes, it can always find its way back to Tianjian Peak.
Don't look at Xiao Jingyu when she was alone in her early years, she experienced the death of her parents, and she supported the entire Xiao family with one force, and she was independent and capable, but maybe it was precisely because of the situation that she was too strong and decisive in the past, and since she became close to Lin Jin, she has become completely opposite to before, extremely dependent on Lin Jin, and she didn't even bother to take the idea herself. So when they parted ways in Lily of the Valley City, after Lin Jin handed over the carrier pigeon to Xiao Jingyu, she was actually counting the days to see how many days she would look for him this time.
Ten days. After separating from Lily of the Valley City, Lin Jin took Song Chen back to Tianjian Peak through Jianlan City, Lin Jin had the intention to let Song Chen practice his light skills, so the two of them did not ride horses, and directly performed light skills to hurry, and the two gentlemen were not as leisurely as the girl's family, and they returned to Tianjian Peak in only three days. Lily of the Valley City is half the way from the southwest city than from Jianlan City, plus Xiao Jingyu took Su Miao with her, with Xiao Jingyu's habit of liking to stop and go along the way, it is estimated that it will be about seven or eight days before they return to Xiaojiabao, so they will ask him for help two days after returning to Xiaojiabao?
When Lin Jin caught the carrier pigeon, he felt funny and heartwarming. For him, being relied on is not a burden, but a sense of steadiness.
Due to space limitations, the letter did not explain what was going on, only asked them to rush to Xiaojiabao as soon as possible. Lin Jin fed some millet to the carrier pigeon, put the note away, and looked at Song Chen, who was listening to the movement while pricking up his ears while practicing in the open space outside the study: "Xiao Chen, go clean up, let's go down the mountain in the afternoon." ”
"Master, where are we going?" Song Chen quickly ran over.
"Xiao Jiabao." Lin Jin glared at him, and the stinky boy pretended.
In the past, Xiaojiabao was also good. Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It's really a miscalculation to come back this time, these days, only he and Song Chen add a Xiaobai on the mountain, Song Chen will not only help to light the fire, but in fact, he is almost the same as Xiaobai, he doesn't know anything about cooking, he can't count on it at all, and he himself - don't look at Lin Jin to eat some mouths and ask for a lot, but when he cooks it himself, the color, aroma, and taste are completely lacking, and the goal is to get things cooked.
Lin Jin didn't care about himself, anyway, he ate extremely light when he was alone, but it hurt Song Chen. For him, a vegetarian dish with no meat at all should be similar to eating grass, right?
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Song Chen has eaten vegetarian for several days, Lin Jin feels that his face is almost green, and his already thin figure is even thinner. His heart must have flown to Xiaojiabao, otherwise how could the action of cleaning up be like this quickly.
When Xiaobai saw Song Chen starting to pack up his things, he knew that they were about to go down the mountain, so he ran over happily, took a look at Song Chen's side, and went to Lin Jin's place to have a look, for fear that they would forget to bring it. Poor it's been eating vegetarian for many days.
With Xiaobai, the speed of the journey slowed down, and by the time they arrived in the southwest city, it was already five days later. In the past few days, Xiao Jingyu took Su Miao and almost touched all the gold in the cave, and Xiao Jingyu also had a whim: "Miaomiao, it's idle anyway, why don't we give this gold brick on the ground?" Maybe there's some secret hidden underground! ”
Su Miao hurriedly stopped: "Wait! Wait a minute! Wait for Master and Ah Chen to come and take a look, right? ”
Su Miao has been thinking about a question for the past few days, I heard the master say that the Xiao family has never been a master of martial arts or medicine in the past dynasties, and people who have no internal strength, no matter how strong they are, they can't move the stone carved bookshelf in the study, so how did the former patriarch of the Xiao family get into this cave? Also, in the secret room inside the cave, the stone is heavier than the bookshelf outside, and it still has to be pushed up, so it is a little difficult for ordinary masters to do it easily, let alone the heads of the Xiao family. So, is she getting something wrong? Or are these two entrances not entered this way?
Su Miao said her doubts, Xiao Jingyu also felt that something was wrong, the two of them groped at the two entrances for a long time, but they still couldn't figure it out, thinking that Lin Jin and Song Chen should also arrive in the past two days, so they stopped tossing. Xiao Jingyu pulled Su Miao deep into the mountains, saying that she wanted to get some good things to make up for the two masters and apprentices. Su Miao looked at the somewhat mysterious smile on her master's face, and she didn't know why, she had a bad premonition in her heart, hoping that things would not be as she imagined......
Before entering the mountain, Xiao Jingyu took a set of clothes to Su Miao and asked her to change them. It was the traditional costume of their Xiao family, and it is said that it was brought over by the wife and grandmother who the Xiao family married in the north. The grandmother's maiden family is a local clan, and the people in the clan make a living by going into the mountains to collect medicines, so according to the experience of the previous generations in the mountains to collect medicines, they have improved a set of clothes specially worn in the mountains. This set of clothes changed the wide-sleeved skirt that women commonly used to walk and walk gracefully, and it was cut to fit very well, and it was a bit like the practice clothes that Su Miao wore when she practiced and tied the sleeves and trousers with cloth straps, but because it was prepared for entering the mountain, the set worn by the Xiao family added a special piece of leather on the forearm and small foot, and wrapped it with layers of cloth, which was to protect the two parts that were most likely to be scratched when encountering dense forests or weeds when entering the mountain.
Although Su Miao is often dissatisfied with Song Chen's indiscriminate touching of her head, which causes her to grow tall, she is actually tall among women, and this set of clothes is worn on her body, which makes her look heroic and heroic. Xiao Jingyu was very satisfied, and nodded again and again: "Well, he has a little bit of the style of learning from me back then!" ”
Xiao Jingyu took Su Miao around the mountains for a long time and returned with a full load. Su Miao has completely lost her sense of orientation, Xiao Jingyu grew up in this area, and before leaving, she patted her chest for Su Miao's worries and made a guarantee: "Don't worry!" This mountain lady can come out with her eyes closed! ”
Although forty years of time is not enough to move mountains and reclaim the sea, there must be small changes in the landform in the mountains, and when it came out, Xiao Jingyu found out about this, and had to spend more hours to find the way, and finally used Su Miao's old method, using light power to see the mountain boundary from afar, and Su Miao took Xiao Jingyu directly out of the mountain from the top of the forest, and then walked around the boundary of the mountain to find the original entrance. When she arrived near the entrance, an hour had passed since the previous agreement with the old housekeeper, and the sky began to get a little dark, Su Jingyu carried the harvest into the mountain with one hand, and Xiao Jingyu with the other, and landed on the path leading to Xiaojiabao.
Lin Jin silently took Xiao Jingyu over: "Miaomiao's light skills and internal strength are good again, Xiao Chen, you have to work hard." ”
Song Chen: "......"
Su Miao suddenly felt a lot less pressure when she saw someone coming, at least she didn't have to know the way anymore! She stuffed the "delicious" ingredients that Xiao Jingyu had prepared for their arrival in her hand to Song Chen, who was about to pick them up, and said, "Ah Chen, you have something delicious for dinner!" ”
Song Chenhu looked at Su Miao suspiciously, this was the third person to say this to him after arriving at Xiaojiabao. The first time was the old butler, and as soon as he and the master arrived, they asked about the whereabouts of the master, and received a reply that they had prepared something to eat. As soon as the master heard that Shi Niang and Miao Miao had gone into the mountain, he also told him mysteriously that he would be able to feast on his stomach at night. Now Miao Miao says so again...... What are these bags? Song Chen was very curious about the bag he was carrying.
Soon, Song Chen's question was answered.
After returning to the Xiao family's mansion, Xiao Jingyu handed over the things to the old housekeeper and asked him to arrange for someone to have dinner.
Lin Jin came over, Xiao Jingyu of course can't live with Su Miao in the Nanlu Courtyard now, and Su Miao moved to another adjacent Beilu Courtyard. Song Chen helped Su Miao carry his luggage, and put his own bags in the east wing, and successfully lived in the same courtyard as Su Miao.
Soon someone will come to inform you that you can have dinner. Dinner was not in Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu's courtyard, nor in Song Chen and Su Miao's courtyard, but chose a courtyard in the middle of these two courtyards. And in a large meadow in the middle of the garden, a grill has been erected. The grill used here is different from the simple grill used to roast prey when hunting outside, this grill is specially made of copper and iron by craftsmen, and is specially designed for eating Xiaojiabao specialties. At the top of the fire are polished strips of comb-toothed iron, which are very convenient for roasting small meats.
When Song Chen and the others passed, there were already a lot of things on the grill that were baking, and there was a faint sweet fragrance...... What kind of meat is sweet when grilled? Song Chen was curious to take a closer look-
…… This string of strings is worn with bamboo skewers, is it a bug? The white and fat insects were roasted so that Song Chen's eyes were straight.
"Come on! Xiao Chen, eat, you're welcome! Xiao Jingyu looked through it a few times, took a skewer that had been baked and handed it to Song Chen, and then she took a skewer herself, and bit off several of them in one bite, and thoughtfully told Song Chen, "Don't worry about your master, he doesn't know how to appreciate this kind of food." ”
Song Chen looked at Su Miao, who raised the roasted corn in his hand to him, signaling him not to be polite.
So, Song Chen ate the first worm under the eager gaze of his master...... Then the second, the third...... For the first time, Song Chen only ate a string of "meat" to indicate that it was enough, and he has recently become accustomed to eating vegetarian ......
God knows what he's been through, this bug tastes so weird!
Finally settled the dinner, the four of them had a very tacit understanding, just like that day, Xiao Jingyu poured the medicine for everyone except the four of them, and then entered the West Wing study where Xiao Jingyu and Su Miao found the entrance.
Before entering the first entrance, Su Miao raised her own question: "Ah Chen, should this kind of mechanism be activated?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Song Chen, who was checking, didn't know how to press on another stone-carved bookshelf, the bookshelf in front of them had been slowly moved, and Song Chen smiled: "It's just a very simple mechanism." ”
Su Miao: "......"
After Lin Jin and Song Chen's master and apprentice entered the golden cave, they were also shocked by the gold full of holes. Su Miao walked towards the door of the stone chamber in front of her, which was filled with large stones, and quickly let out a "huh".
The big rock has risen on its own!
Su Miao turned around and looked for Song Chen, and showed him the location of the previous stone: "Ah Chen, this stone was originally here, and it needs to be pushed up to reveal the door of the stone chamber, but why did you move it open by yourself this time?"
Song Chen was on tiptoe, and flew up to look around the stone: "This machine head should be a linkage mechanism with the bookshelf outside, and when the entrance is activated normally, this stone will rise and expose the door inside." ”
Su Miao pursed her lips: "Then why can I move it directly?" ”
Song Chen looked at her: "That's because you have enough strength...... This linkage mechanism is very simple.,It's a mechanism that borrows power.,Even if you can't find the opening of the mechanism.,Just move it away.,As long as you can move it.。 But there is no way to do this like the door in front of you, this is a chain lock, and you have to solve it step by step. “
The mechanism of the stone room door is really much more complicated than the one at the entrance, it took Song Chen more than half an hour to crack it, as Song Chen pressed the answer of the last lock, the door suddenly "clicked", and it shook heavily, Song Chen gently pushed forward, and the door opened inward......
Xiao Jingyu and Lin Jin walked in first, the light of the torches they were holding was actually very weak, but after entering, after a while, the inner room lit up, and Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Miao and Song Chen also followed, and saw that this hole was bigger than the golden cave outside, about five zhang square, and the inside was very neatly packed, each of which was an area and an area, and the collections were probably divided into categories.
At this moment, before they could enter the door to inspect the collections, they were already startled by the dense night pearls that were already inlaid with the rock walls on the top of the cave. Night pearls are very rare, and it would be good for normal people to get a few, but their Xiao family got such a bunch of them, and they really used lighting...... With such a big pen, what is stored in this cave after all?
"Could it be—" Xiao Jingyu muttered to herself, "The treasure of the year has been found?" (To be continued.) )
