PS: Three more, three more, such a beautiful day, but also hard/forced code words, it's not easy. Rainbow Net, with you all the way! I ask for the comfort of the monthly pass, everyone has a lot of support, thank you.

The empty bricks were smashed open, and everyone immediately saw a package, a cloth package.

Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man took out the package from among the empty bricks. Seeing that the shape of the package was a little square, he pinched it with his hand, and his brows wrinkled: "It seems to be a book......

"Books?" The villager next to him was stunned: "It's impossible." ”

"How could it be impossible, what else could this corridor be besides books?" The middle-aged man said, and directly ripped the package open.

Everyone hurriedly stared, and sure enough, a stack of several green leather thread-bound books appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There were words on the cover of the thread-bound book, and the middle-aged man frowned and looked at it, and immediately said in disappointment: "What a book!" ”

"Fate Book!"

"Merit book!"

"Ledger!"

"Hey, and the family tree."

The middle-aged man checked them one by one, his slightly frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he greeted with some joy: "Qigong, your old man comes and take a look, this is our genealogy, the genealogy of many years ago......"

"That's a good thing."

When several old men heard this, they immediately came over. For people of their age, kinship is definitely more important than that of young people. They regard copper coins as dung, but for genealogy, they are absolutely treasures.

After handing over the genealogy to a few old people for study, the middle-aged man continued to look through it, and then sighed: "Sure enough, there are all books here, and they are hand-copied books, which are not worth much." ”

"Manuscripts are not necessarily worthless." Qi Xiang said with a smile: "If it is well preserved, the handwriting is neat, and the content has research value, someone must be willing to collect it." ”

"Is anyone willing to collect the books?" The middle-aged man shook his head, and then looked at him: "That's right." There is also a scripture here, I don't know if anyone is interested. ”

"What scriptures?" Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he leaned over to watch.

"Taishang Laojun......" The middle-aged man identified it word by word: "...... Said Chenghuang...... Induction Disaster Mitigation ...... Blessing Sutra. ”

An old man listened and said casually: "That's called the Chenghuang Sutra." When we held the temple fair, we didn't recite it less, but you didn't listen carefully. ”

"The City God's Scripture?" Qi Xiang was a little curious, stretched out his hand and said, "Village Chief, can I take a look?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't say a word. put the book in Qi Xiang's hand.

The book is a little thick, the manuscript has a hard cover paper, and inside it is rice paper filled with butterflies.

Qi Xiang rubbed it slightly, and he could also feel that the quality of this rice paper was good, and it belonged to the best type. After so many years of storage, not only did the paper not rot, but not even the edge hair.

From the quality of the paper, you can know who copied the book. The importance attached to this City God Sutra.

Qi Xiang was not only worried, but also opened the title page. The official content of the Chenghuang Sutra was also revealed in his eyes. The beginning of the scriptures, which is a verse, is the so-called opening verse.

"The chief of the inspector is the city god, and the town of Welling Xuanhe is Qiankun. Protect the country, protect the country, support the community, and reduce the ...... of Ganze life-savings"

The content of the scriptures is nothing special, anyway, Qi Xiang can't understand it, and he doesn't have the patience to read it page by page. Instead, I turned to the last page.

In an instant, Qi Xiang's eyes froze, and he saw only the last page of the scriptures. It's not a scripture, it's a spell or a rune. He looked a little pretentious, and the middle-aged man came over and asked, "Little brother, do you want to continue to tear down the wall?" ”

“…… Not necessarily. ”

Qi Xiang calmed down a little, closed the book, and suddenly asked, "Village chief." Is this one place the bedroom of Miaozhu? Or a utility room where things are stored? ”

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, he really didn't know, and hurriedly asked Zhi**: "Third brother, third brother, come here." What kind of place does this belong to the temple? ”

"This is the utility room." Take a look at the left and right, and you are very sure.

"Utility room ......" Qi Xiang groaned, and said with a smile: "That's right, you don't need to tear down the wall first, you can explore the ground and see if you find anything." ”

"Ground?" The middle-aged man perked up: "Little brother, do you suspect that there is a cellar underneath?" ”

"Hmm." Qi Xiang nodded and said, "Haven't you noticed, this place is a little special." ”

"What's special?" The middle-aged man was puzzled and didn't see it.

"Especially biased." Qi Xiang smiled: "Or, in other words, it is particularly centered." Aside from the lobby, this utility room is surrounded by several houses in the middle, that is, the innermost room......"

"If there's something to hide, this room is the place to go."

Qi Xiang analyzed: "There are empty bricks in this room, which means that my judgment is correct." If there is a cellar or something, then there is a great possibility that it is hidden here. ”

"Little brother, you make too much sense."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately convinced, and then directly ordered: "Dig!" ”

Not only digging, but also smashing.

More than a dozen people worked together, digging and smashing, and immediately made a discovery.

"Bang!"

There was a loud sound, and everyone saw a piece of ground suddenly sink in, revealing a black hole.

Everyone was stunned and immediately cheered in unison. A few young people even picked up their hoes high, as if they wanted to smash the hole wider.

“…… Stop it. ”

Suddenly, the middle-aged man stopped, and the others were stunned, looked up at him, and then were surprised to find that at this time, the middle-aged man's face was full of a bit of majesty.

"Village Chief, what's wrong?" The bystander asked, inexplicably.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, come on, call everyone, there are some things that we need to discuss, lest we ...... It's not easy to do. ”

Under the greeting of the middle-aged man, a group of villagers naturally gathered around. Many people's eyes reached the cellar, and their eyes showed excitement and excitement.

"Aren't you happy to have found the cellar?"

At the same time, the middle-aged man looked around at everyone and said in a low voice: "Don't be too happy too early, maybe the cellar is empty and there is nothing." Or, in other words, there are a lot of valuable things in the cellar, but you also need to know what is dug up in the ground. That's a ...... to be handed over to the state."

"What, turn it over to the state?" Someone was startled and blurted out: "Why? ”

"No, it's the law." The middle-aged man said lightly: "Do you still want to question the law?" ”

Moment. A group of villagers were speechless, and a few young people wanted to mumble, but they were held down by the elders. The law is the law, which can be despised and flouted, but not ignored.

There was a half-silence. Someone asked, "Village chief, do you really want to hand it in?" ”

"Hehe......" The middle-aged man smiled, with a little cunning: "Turn it in, it must be handed in, after all, many people know that we are demolishing the temple, and they also know that we have found something." ”

"But...... What to pay and what not to pay, is it not up to us to decide? The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "As long as everyone has a unified voice, what else is there to be unfair?" ”

"That's right!"

"The village chief is wise ......"

The others suddenly realized that it was true.

"Ahem!"

Qi Xiang's throat suddenly itched. These people ignore his existence, how can they deceive and conceal their superiors and subordinates in an open and honest discussion, should he pretend not to hear, or expose and report?

At the right time, the middle-aged talent realized that there were still outsiders present. He was stunned for a moment, but he was not confused, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he walked over and said enthusiastically: "Little brother, you just said." Are you here to collect something? ”

"Yes." Qi Xiang nodded directly.

"That's going to be easy." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "In order to thank you for saving your life just now, we decided after discussion that you have the right of priority to purchase the things in the cellar." What do you think of selling it to you cheaply? ”

What is the old treacherous giant slippery, this is it.

Qi Xiang sighed in his heart, no wonder a middle-aged man can become the head of a village, this is a means of colluding with the same stream and pulling people on the thief ship. It is indeed not comparable to ordinary villagers.

In this regard, Qi Xiang is righteous and awe-inspiring, and the righteousness is strict...... Agreed: "Okay, thank you." ”

"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man smiled even more happily: "If it weren't for you, little brother, we wouldn't have found the cellar so smoothly......"

"I just don't know what's going to be in the cellar."

With great anticipation, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Open the cellar and go down to have a look." ”

Several young men were ready to stop as soon as they heard the command. The hole was smashed open in three or two clicks, and a square entrance was revealed on the ground.

The entrance is very wide, and there is a cellar underneath, which is square, about ten square meters of space, two or three meters high.

Qi Xiang glanced at it and saw that in the corner of the cellar, two or three wooden boxes were neatly stacked, as well as some miscellaneous objects. From the dull atmosphere and the thick dust on the surface of the wooden box, it can be known that this cellar must have been sealed for a long time, or it has not been opened again since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The middle-aged man was short of breath, barely able to keep his composure, and commanded: "Go down to two people, carry the box out." ”

After a few minutes, the three boxes were all lifted.

Everyone hurriedly looked, only to see that each box was locked, after many years of dust, the lock was seriously rusted, the keyhole was all blocked, even if there was a key, it was estimated that the lock could not be opened.

"Bang bang bang!"

The middle-aged man directly slammed the hammer, smashed the lock in an instant, and then opened a box.

At this moment, more than a dozen eyes were all focused on the box.

"Rub, what's this?"

At first glance, many people are disappointed, because the boxes are neatly stacked with bundles of incense and candles. Slender incense, as well as stubby candles, and some sacrificial paper and the like.

The middle-aged man's eyes swept away, and his brows were locked like Sichuan characters, he didn't give up and rummaged through the box, and after making sure that this box really only had incense and candles, he had to curse secretly, and then turned his gaze to the box next to him.

"Luck shouldn't be that bad."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before reaching out to open the box with a trembling hand...... (To be continued.) )
