Chapter 462: The Mystery of the Underground Palace
"Here, watch out for the gutter." Xiao Qiang wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, reached out to hold Zhang Jingyi's soft and white little hand, and lifted her through the deep ditch at his feet. Rong Xuanhai, who was next to him, smiled after seeing this scene, "Xiao Qiang, the young man is good, this place should not be far from Jiang Village, or you can put your little girlfriend on your back." ”
Zhang Jingyi's pretty face flushed, but she was also a little accustomed to it, and said embarrassedly, "I still hold on, this mountain road can be completed." ”
Xiao Qiang nodded and grinned, he took the initiative to hold Rong Xuanhai's arm and said, "I said old man, you have to worry more about your own body, and there is air traffic control for us, it's really ......"
Rong Xuanhai suddenly burst out laughing, and there was obviously a playful ridicule in this laughter, and Zhang Jingyi was embarrassed when she heard it.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Rong Xuanhai accompanied Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi to clean up and then began to go down the mountain, because he knew a shortcut down the mountain, so the three of them moved quickly, and they were about to arrive at Jiang Village at the foot of the mountain at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The three of them walked for a long time, and the curling smoke rising from Jiang Village in the distant col was already looming, but at this time, Rong Xuanhai suddenly stopped and fell on the endless mountain to the east of Jiang Village.
"Let's rest here, girl, go get some water for us. Xiao Qiang, you come with me. Rong Xuanhai beckoned to Xiao Qiang and led him to climb to a not-so-high hillside next to the path.
Xiao Qiang didn't know what Rong Xuanhai asked him to climb this hill for, but he also saw that the old man wanted to deliberately support Zhang Jingyi to say something to himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he went up the hillside, Rong Xuanhai looked at him and asked with a smile, "Young Sect Master, do you know why I fled to this deep mountain and old forest behind Jiang Village during the turmoil in the Huaxia Kingdom more than twenty years ago?" Do you know why the ghost organization has been looking for me for so many years and wants to catch me? ”
Xiao Qiang naturally shook his head and said that he didn't know, but vaguely he could guess something, it should be something on Rong Xuanhai that the ghost organization wants. Just like the previous Void Xuan Dao Chief was accidentally killed and snatched away by the ghosts the gossip disk that can measure the location of the aura of heaven and earth, only the treasures that make the ghost organization's heart move, they will be so reluctant to hunt down and kill here.
"I told you before that after the disintegration of the descendants of the Medicine Pavilion Hall, my lineage has been inheriting and guarding a treasure, the Infinite Secret Treasure. The ghost just wants to get the Infinite Secret Treasure from me, so he will not give up for more than 20 years to find out about me. Rong Xuanhai said this, and said earnestly, "Young Sect Master, you are the hope of the Wuji Sect, I am old, the turmoil more than twenty years ago made me lose my wife and son, and now I only have the only seedling left in my vein, and I am no longer able to protect the Wuji Secret Treasure." I will never give the Infinite Treasure to the ghosts, but I am willing to hand it over to you. Do you know why I didn't go anywhere during the turmoil, but fled into this deep mountain? ”
"Could it be...... What kind of infinite secret treasure you want to protect is also in this deep mountain? Xiao Qiang thought that there was only this possibility, and couldn't help but ask.
Rong Xuanhai smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the big mountain road east of Jiang Village in the distance, "Young Sect Master, the Wuji Secret Treasure I am guarding is hidden in the big mountain east of Jiang Village. There are not only the Infinite Secret Treasures, but also a dungeon secretly built by my ancestors, which was specially built for the Infinite Secret Treasures. I heard the elders mention that the underground palace is made of solid and dense yellow jade, and there are many mechanisms and protective means in it, in order to protect the secret treasure. If you want to take the Infinite Treasure, you must enter the dungeon. ”
"The dungeon??" Xiao Qiang was extremely surprised, and suddenly he thought that his grandfather had told him that there had been yellow flower jade stones on the east mountain of the village, could it be that those yellow flower jade ores were left over from the construction of the underground palace? It's no wonder that this kind of ore will be discovered by my grandfather on Dongtou Mountain, which is not rich in yellow jade, it turns out that this is related to the ancestors of Rong Xuanhai......
"Yes, the dungeon. Young Sect Master, but it's a pity that during the turmoil, my house was copied, and my father was arrested before he could hand over the underground palace map to me, so I only know that there is an underground palace on Dongtou Mountain, but I don't know the location of the palace, and I haven't seen the structural diagram in the underground palace, and I don't know anything about the mechanisms and hidden weapons in it. If you want to go in and get the Infinite Secret Treasure, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”
Rong Xuanhai's words Xiao Qiang's interest immediately dropped by more than half, he didn't know anything in this underground palace, so didn't he rush into it to find death? However, you can go to Dongtou Mountain to have a look, and find the entrance to the underground palace first. As long as you know where the entrance is, you can think about whether you can enter or not in the long run.
After continuing to chat for a while, and after asking Rong Xuanhai about some information he knew about the underground palace, the two of them went on the road again with Zhang Jingyi, who had returned from irrigation. Walking among the green mountains and green waters, looking at the boundless scenery, the three of them laughed and gradually forgot the hard work of walking, and unconsciously walked a few kilometers of mountain roads, and finally came to Jiang Village in the valley in the evening.
"Brother Xiao Qiang, you're back!" As soon as he entered the village, Zhang Xiaozhi, the son of his uncle Zhang Sheng, ran over and giggled with his nose and fart. Since the day Xiao Qiang came to Jiang Village, he spent thousands of yuan to wrap all the popsicles in the commissary and let him distribute them to other children in the village, Zhang Xiaozhi really raised his eyebrows, and several children also came over when he didn't run, as if he had become his followers.
"Haha, yes, Ash, we just came down from the mountain." Xiao Qiang touched his head and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat popsicles?" Let's go, brother, I'll buy it for you. ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Qiang, okay, I have another popsicle!" Zhang Xiaozhi jumped and jumped happily, and Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing coquettishly next to her. Childhood is unscrupulous, crying is also simple and laughing is simple, such a life will never be enjoyed anymore when she grows up, looking at the innocent and lively children, her heart has gradually become a little sad.
After Xiao Qiang bought another box of popsicles and sent them to Zhang Xiaozhi, the three of them returned to their grandfather Zhang Tianzheng's house. As soon as he arrived outside the fence of the courtyard, Xiao Qiang found that Zhang Tianzheng was not there, but a middle-aged man with a familiar face, who seemed to be arguing with his mother about something.
"Big brother, Dad told us not to lend you money, if I give you money, Dad will scold me." Mother was standing by the railing drying her clothes, and a helpless voice sounded, and then her afterglow found Xiao Qiang outside the yard, and couldn't help but say happily, "Xiao Qiang, are you back?" Great, I'm worried about you guys! ”
"Mom." Xiao Qiang walked into the courtyard with a smile, he glanced at the middle-aged man who was smoking a cigarette standing on the side, and called out respectfully, "Uncle, hello." ”
Yes, standing here is Xiao Qiang's uncle, his grandfather's eldest son Zhang Yan. He looked very thin, his face was a little sickly, he didn't seem to have any energy, and he smoked very hard.
After Zhang Yan saw Xiao Qiang, he reluctantly smiled and said, "It's my nephew Xiao Qiang who is back...... Hehe, I heard that you went to the mountains to find a doctor, and I just heard from your mother! ”
"Yes, I just came back today." Xiao Qiang nodded and replied. He didn't have any feelings for this uncle, but when he came, he could see that his grandfather seemed to be very unkind to him, and it seemed that he leaked the fact that there was Huanghuayu ore on Dongtou Mountain, so that Jiang Youwei, the village party secretary, knew.
