Chapter 30 Turtle Treasure

"Listen up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Mr. Liu sat up straight and looked at the Taoist priest with a solemn expression.

The Taoist priest's eyes were confused, and he recalled the long story.

It was the thirty years old of the ancestor, the sixteenth year of Daoguang, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was not yet stormy, and it was still a country and a people's peace, and the ancestor had just accepted the challenge of the Guanzhong faction and successfully made a reputation. When he was a guest in Guanzhong, he heard that there was an ancient tomb in the Yellow River, which was originally on land, but after the Yellow River was diverted, it was submerged.

A submerged ancient tomb, the ancestors were not very interested, but I heard that it was the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui, when Yuwen Chengdu killed Emperor Yang of Sui, he was buried hastily, a loyal minister could not bear to see it, so he quietly changed the burial, although there were not many items buried inside, but there was a peerless treasure.

When the ancestor heard of the treasure, he was heartbroken, so he went there, where he searched for nearly three years, without any clue, and when he was about to despair, he met two wandering merchants in the middle of the night.

The two merchants wanted to cross the Yellow River overnight, but the ancestors were afraid that their identities would be discovered, so they had to row a boat to send them across the river.

As soon as the two merchants got on board, it rained, and they asked their ancestors to row downward, saying that they had a companion below to meet them.

The ancestor is also an old man, as soon as he heard this, he knew that these two were not good things, and he was afraid that he would have to kill himself when he got to the place.

Although the ancestors were proficient in casualness, it was not so easy to jump into the Yellow River to get out alive in this rainstorm.

While thinking about countermeasures, the ancestor looked at the two merchants and found that they did not carry murder weapons, presumably they were all with their companions, and he couldn't help but let go of half of his heart.

Soon they arrived at their designated place, and the ancestors saw a few men with their fellows standing by the river, looking at the place.

He saw that the faces of the two merchants did not change color, and he couldn't help but feel more anxious.

If you run away now, you may not be able to escape, and this group of people will definitely not let go of themselves.

Fortunately, when the ship was about to dock, there was a thunderclap from heaven, and the ancestor was in a hurry, pretending to be frightened, falling into the water, pretending to struggle, and sank.

The group of people saw that the ancestor was frightened into the water, thinking that the ancestor was also dying, so they did not send anyone into the water to check.

Only then did the ancestor escape his life, and after he went ashore, he sorted out his thoughts and remembered that these people should be peers.

In the midst of the thunder, the ancestor heard a response in the water, and these people were supposed to be the same target as him.

When he returned home in fear, he didn't dare to go over for the time being, so he could only cultivate for a while.

On the fifth day, officials came to his house, and without saying a word, the officials escorted the ancestors to the yamen.

The ancestors are not afraid, the so-called Taishou Mansion door is open to the south, there is money and no reason to come in, the ancestors have nothing else, there is still money.

When I arrived at the county office, after I was promoted to the hall, I saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting in the hall with a straight face.

The ancestors were a little scared at this time, this kind of clean official is the most difficult to do, if it is wise, it is fine, if it is confused, then it is not easy to do.

The county magistrate first asked the ancestors about their origins, and the ancestors answered skillfully, and they fled the disaster and came to the Yellow River.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty had just declared war with the British army, and after Humen was captured, many people fled to the mainland.

Because of the fear that these ordinary people would be enemies, the Qing court acquiesced in this escape. So the prefectural order didn't say much.

He quickly had a body carried out and asked if the ancestors knew the man.

When the ancestor saw that it was one of the two traveling merchants that day, he couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Yes, this guest and another guest asked me to cross the river late at night, and after I sent them across the river, I went home." ā€

After hearing this, the county magistrate asked for some details, and put the ancestors in prison.

Then the next day, the prefectural order took the official messenger and the ancestors to the place where the guests disembarked that day.

The county magistrate told the ancestor that the body was found here, and he suspected that the ancestor had killed people and robbed the wealth.

The ancestor immediately explained that there was no such thing, saying that there was still a merchant who did not die.

The county magistrate ignored his explanation, saying that the body was found in the water, perhaps the body of the ancestor sunk at the bottom of the river.

With that, let your hand go down and check the situation below.

Soon the corpses of his subordinates floated, and seeing this scene, the county commander couldn't help but angrily ask the ancestor if he had buried some mechanism under the water.

The ancestor was also puzzled, but soon the county order sent him down, if he brought out the evidence, he would be spared death, if he couldn't get anything, then the lives of these dead people would be all on his head.

The ancestor had no choice but to go into the water himself, and under the water he saw a thief hole, he did not rush into it for the sake of insurance, but floated up, asked the county order for a bamboo pole, and took the bamboo pole to probe in.

As a result, as soon as the bamboo pole entered, the ancestors felt something bite on the bamboo pole.

He tried to pull it out, but he saw a baby-sized turtle biting a bamboo pole and coming up.

The ancestor handed over the culprit to the county order, but the county order did not believe it and still locked the ancestor up.

The more the ancestor thought about it in the prison, the more wrong it became, and he couldn't help but spend money on several officials in the prison, one of whom was the brother-in-law of the county commander, and he told the county commander that the turtle had been killed.

The patriarch then begged him to steal the turtle armor from him, so that he could divinate himself.

The cell boss took the benefits of the ancestors, thinking that a turtle armor was nothing, so he stole it from the ancestors.

Coincidentally, the turtle armor was brought here, and the county magistrate came to the prison with a pale face.

He watched the ancestors barbecue turtle armor divination there, so that the labor around him was retired, and only his brother-in-law was left alone. Only then did he say mockingly: "Jiao Si, you don't have to ask for heaven, your current road is only a dead end." ā€

The patriarch looked at him, but did not speak,

"I didn't expect it, I also came for this tomb, those are my subordinates, I spent nearly ten years, up and down in case I was transferred, I don't know how much it cost to find that location, but I can find that turtle treasure, this life is worth it."

The ancestor didn't answer, but looked at him coldly: "It's a pity, you only know the magic of this turtle treasure, but you don't know the nemesis of this thing." ā€

Before the ancestor's words fell, the county order screamed.

He struggled on the ground and said, "What have you done to me?" ā€

"Now, I'll tell you, although this turtle treasure is infinitely useful, but he is also from the turtle body, this turtle armor is her mother, the so-called mother and son heart, I burn the turtle armor, but also burn the turtle treasure."

"Help me, save me."

"Hmph, save you, I'm afraid there is no way to live." After the ancestor finished speaking, he looked at the cell head and said, "We are now grasshoppers in a boat, follow me out, and there is still a way to live." ā€

Seeing this situation, the cell boss knew that now he could only follow the ancestors, and they successfully deceived the labor and immediately ran back to Guangzhou.
