Chapter 21: The Secret of the Mountain Cracks

In the crack of the mountain, Xiao Han drilled for about ten zhang, and found that the space in front of him gradually became wider, which was enough for three or four people to walk in parallel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, he also saw the source of the faint light.

I saw that on the mountain walls on both sides, there were white jade-colored stones embedded in them, and the faint light was emitted by these stones.

As far as Xiao Han's eyes could see, he had found hundreds of white jade-colored stones that emitted a faint halo. In the light of these stones, the entire crack in the mountain became bright. When he saw this, he was very curious, so he put away the fire fold, and used the Shadow Sword to pry off one of those stones, and looked at it carefully.

This white jade-colored stone is not all closely integrated with the rock, but more like a companion stone.

The so-called associated stone is the ore of two ores, which are combined but not fused under geological action, and are separated from each other. Moreover, this kind of white jade-colored associated stone is the same as the associated crystal in the sandstone rock, so Xiao Han didn't have much effort to pry it out.

Looking at the white jade-colored stone in his hand, Xiao Han looked at it curiously. This kind of stone, warm and moist does not hurt hands, like a kind of jade. In his memory, there was a book in the family library called "Treasure of Strange Stones", which described many methods of identifying jade, including many descriptions of glowing stones. For example, the night pearl that emits a dark green light at night; Centennial pearls under the sea will also emit a brighter light than the moon. And like the one in his hand, it seems to be a kind of jade called moonstone.

Xiao Han stared at this white jade, his brows furrowed slightly. He felt that this stone was not moonstone, but he couldn't tell what the difference was, so he had to give up the entanglement. After casually scanning the surroundings, and after nothing unusual was noticed, he continued to walk deeper into the crevices of the mountain.

Everywhere he passed, the mountain walls were covered with white jade-colored stones, and Xiao Han's heart was shocked. You must know that a moonstone the size of an egg is worth nearly six taels of silver! And in this mountain crevice, I am afraid that there are thousands of such moonstones, which are worth so much that they are worth a year's income of the Xiao family. What's more, this is only the number of moonstones he has seen, and those hidden in the mountain will only be more. Just thinking about the mountain of moonstones made his mouth dry.

Just when Xiao Han endured his heartbeat and wanted to move forward, he suddenly saw a strange picture. Not far ahead, I saw a thick snake bone wrapped around a half-kneeling human bone, and the snake bone bit the neck and shin of the human bone; The human bone held the hilt of the sword upside down with both hands and inserted the sword into the seven inches of the snake bone. Because the moonstones are scattered and distributed, and the light is not too bright, so under the dim light, the entangled human and snake bones look extremely weird.

When he got closer, Xiao Han found that the bones of the two corpses had long since withered, and if they touched it slightly, they might fall apart. He speculated that this human skeleton might have strayed into this place before his death, and had a conflict with the great snake that used this mountain crevice as a cave. The serpent wrapped around him and tried to strangle him to death, but in order to resist, he plunged his sword into the serpent's seven-inch death hole. Before the big snake died, he bit his neck and shin with all his strength and injected venom, because his neck and shin bones were dark in color, which was like poisoning. In the end, both sides died together, and the bones were here.

Looking at the fate of this human bone, Xiao Han happily thought that this was the will of heaven. If he had come in first, he would have probably died under the mouth of the Great She. As for whether he will drag the big snake to die together, it is unknown! Thinking that this person could be regarded as indirectly saving his life, out of a feeling of sympathy, he decided to bury this person and let him be buried in the ground.

With an idea in his heart, Xiao Han was ready to start cleaning up the human bones. Who knew that with just a light touch, the bones of the two corpses collapsed and scattered all over the ground. In desperation, he had no choice but to rummage through it. Just as he picked up a piece of rag, a cup of cyan jade pendant fell from it, and he picked it up curiously, and found that in the middle of the jade pendant, there was a square word "rain" carved.

Seeing this, Xiao Han was shocked, because he found that this jade pendant had the same style and jade material as the jade pendant in the hands of his father and second uncle. On the two jade pendants, they are also carved with two block letters, "dragon" and "wind".

As far as Xiao Han knew, the jade pendant was carved by his grandfather with the best jade chalcedony, and there were only three pieces in Guyang Town. In addition to his father and second uncle, his aunt also had one, but he had not seen it, but he must have carved a word on it, and it was very likely to be the jade pendant in front of him. Because this jade pendant, in terms of material and carving process, is exactly the same as the jade pendant in the hands of his father and second uncle.

Xiao Han looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his brows furrowed. He didn't think it was just a coincidence, combined with the fact that he had never seen his aunt's jade pendant, coupled with the fact that he was still single and looked sad all day long, he boldly speculated that this person was most likely his aunt's favorite person, and this jade pendant might be a token of love given to him by his aunt.

This speculation is bold, but it is well founded. One comes. Xiao Qingyu is now twenty-nine years old, but she has never considered her life's events; Moreover, her sad expression all day long was like the worry that Xiao Han's mother showed when Xiao Jianlong injured his leg and became decadent, sad and complaining. If the jade pendant was stolen, then why was it never mentioned? After all, it's not a big deal.

Xiao Han vaguely remembers that when he was young, his aunt loved him very much and often bought him candy; Even when he made a mistake and was blamed by his mother, he was often protected by his aunt; Even one year, I had a cold, and my aunt took care of me by the bedside for a day and a night.

Xiao Han always remembered his kindness to his aunt. It's just that from the beginning of her loss, no matter how much I please her, it has no effect, and gradually I can only give up my actions. Now that he may have found the source of his aunt's sadness, he will also bring this corpse back anyway, but she will also take her heart and mind.

Thinking about it, Xiao Han took off his backpack, cleared out some of the debris inside, picked up the human bones, and filled it with a small bag. Among the clutter, he left behind only a scroll of maps, insect repellent powder, and a fire fold. After doing this, he picked up the kettle on his waist and took a sip of "Yuan Milk", his body was suddenly wrapped in a soft force, and his strength gradually recovered. It's just that because the body function has not completely improved, it is just a little sore and moistened by the medicinal power of "Yuan Milk".

After tidying up and bringing the things that should be brought, Xiao Han walked forward a few more feet, and found that the space in front of him had become extremely narrow, and even the rock wall above his head had been closed, and in the end, there was only a large hole the size of a bucket, extending endlessly forward. He guessed that this hole was probably another vent for the big snake.

Looking at the big hole in front of him and comparing his figure, Xiao Han reluctantly turned back. Before he could get close to the crack in the mountain, the roar of the King Kong Giant Ape had already reached his ears. Faced with this dilemma of not being able to enter and exit, he had no choice but to smile bitterly, sat down against the mountain wall, and quietly waited for the departure of the King Kong Giant Ape.

Time passed in the roar of the King Kong Giant Ape. Xiao Han thought that he had underestimated its persistence too much, and it was already ten in the evening, but the King Kong Giant Ape was hovering outside the mountain crevice, refusing to leave.

From morning to now, Xiao Han hasn't eaten anything! After a series of battles, although there is "Yuan Milk" to replenish his strength, his stomach is still empty, and he keeps screaming. He understands that if he continues like this, his bodily functions will definitely be impaired. But outside the crack in the mountain, the existence of the King Kong Giant Ape made him have to recognize the reality, so he had to endure it.

The insects squeaked, and the night wind blew on Xiao Han's face along the cracks in the mountains. He opened his sleepy eyes, and at some point there was no longer the roar of the Vajra Ape outside the mountain crevice. He turned his head to feel the sound outside the crack in the mountain, and after making sure that there was no movement outside, he grabbed a stone and threw it outside the gap. I don't know what the stone hit, but I heard a "click", and then silence returned to all around.

Seeing this, Xiao Han was overjoyed in his heart, and threw two stones in a row, but there was still no particularly big reaction. He guessed in his heart that the Vajra Giant Ape might have left, so he slowly approached the crack and carefully poked his head out. After looking around, I saw that it was dim, and the moon was already rising in the sky.

After making sure that there was no more crisis, Xiao Han drilled out of the mountain crevice, looked back at the big crack behind him, covered it with vines, sighed, and ran away into the jungle.
