Chapter 0138: The Secret Letter in the Grotto
This dungeon is not big.
Xiao Qiong stepped on the sticky ground, smelled the disgusting smell, turned on the flashlight, and strode through the space once occupied by rats. The further you go inside, the narrower the space becomes. After a while, a stone wall stood in front of me - there was no way ahead.
There is a feeling of being teased. What kind of bird place is this? Get a bunch of rats in the way and tell me, game over? Xiao Qiong angrily pushed towards the stone wall, bang! The sound coming from the stone wall indicates that it is empty!
It's a stone door.
Xiao Qiong endured the foul smell, luck was in control, and pushed her palms with all her might. It's a jack of all trades! The stone gate collapsed, revealing a grotto. After careful observation, Xiao Qiong found that the stone gate was originally hidden, and someone had already entered here. A space of more than ten square meters, dry and ventilated. Cement was also poured on the ground.
The walls of the grotto, apparently waterproofed, are very dry. Xiao Qiong turned on the flashlight and swept it inch by inch, Xiao Qiong saw a movie star poster, and a beautiful woman was looking at Xiao Qiong with charming eyes. But the poster has turned yellow, and it is estimated that there are some years. Scanning down further, there was a clip nailed to the wall, and a cowhide envelope hung from the clip.
Xiao Qiong took off the envelope, and there was a secret letter inside.
Siu Thieu's nephew:
Although we have never met each other, if we have a fate, I should admire the exquisite metaphysical talent of the later life. Under the whole world, if you can move the "Rat Mountain" away, you will be able to get the essence of magic.
Everything has a cause, and life has its own certainty. The mission is not accomplished, and the heart is really uneasy. This time he went with the gold, not for his own benefit. This is the painstaking effort of Nanyang merchants, and it should not be slept in the mountains, so the surplus is taken for the well-being of the people. Forgive me.
Historical merits and demerits, right and wrong commentary.
When you sing about wine, there are tears in the sky
Although this credit is made of rice paper and written with a brush, the pages have turned yellow. There is no payment in the back, and I don't know who made it. The person who wrote the letter deliberately created a problem for future generations. I know you, but you don't know who I am? This person is a metaphysical master of the same era as his grandfather? Can you accurately predict that the descendants of the Xiao family will visit here? Why didn't Grandpa mention that there was such a friend? Obviously, he left this secret letter to tell future generations that the gold had been taken away, and he also said in a high-sounding manner that it would be used for the benefit of the people!
Xiao Qiong felt humiliated. Both admired and angry. Luckily for him than Qingfeng Dao, he didn't have to make much effort to get close to the historical truth. And Qingfeng Dao has spent his entire life, and he has not even seen the shadow of the treasure map of the underground palace. Not to mention entering the dungeon.
The seniors left a secret letter, both a feeling of demonstrating to Xiao Qiong and a suspicion of wanting to bleach themselves. Xiao Qiong carefully put the secret letter in her pocket, and no longer had the desire to explore the underground palace. The results have already been there for a long time, do you still need to continue the exam? Underground, there are still traces left by the accumulation of wooden boxes.
Xiao Qiong didn't dare to imagine what kind of ecstasy it would be for a person to swallow a large amount of gold alone, and if he didn't get it, he would really die of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Returning the same way is effortless. When she arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Qiong looked at her watch, and the hands were pointing to twelve o'clock. Peel open a brick, and it's pitch black outside. It turns out that it's midnight.
Out of the dungeon, the mobile phone has a signal. Xiao Qiong made a call to Dai Xiaoxiao, Dai Xiaoxiao hadn't slept yet, and she cried with joy when she heard Xiao Qiong's voice.
After her ecstasy, she exclaimed eagerly, "You have finally come out." Come back soon! It's been a day and a night. ”
For a day and a night, this girl didn't even close her eyes! Xiao Qiong rose with infinite emotion. It turned out that he had agreed to ask for help if he didn't come out for three days. Now, in just 24 hours, Xiao Qiong has returned smoothly, of course, ecstatic.
The two young people hugged warmly, as if they hadn't seen each other for 10,000 years, and they were afraid of losing each other. After a lot of passion, I finally calmed down. Xiao Qiong took out the secret letter from her mountaineering bag, a yellowed brown paper envelope, as light as a feather.
Dai Xiaoxiao opened it and looked at it, stared at him stupidly and asked, "Have you met a fairy?" ”
"Not a fairy. It's that this gentleman is proficient in the essence of Chinese culture, and he has an intersection with my grandfather Xiao Jinxin. Two factors led him to write this secret letter that year. In fact, when he called me a virtuous nephew, he was supposed to be referring to my father's generation. So, this prediction is not entirely accurate. But at least it can prove that the secret that you Dai have been guarding for decades is worthless. What Qingfeng Dao Chang has pursued all his life is actually a phantom! The real beneficiary may be hiding in some corner of the earth, living a free life as a fairy. ”
"So scary?"
The innocent Dai Xiaoxiao obviously has some brains that are not enough. She could see from Xiao Qiong's expression that this matter was by no means child's play. It is a mystery that has been annihilated in the dust of history. After decades, the mystery reveals a glimmer of aura, allowing the puzzle solver to guess its answer. Xiao Qiong really can't imagine how grandfather, these masters of metaphysics, fought against the rivers and lakes back then!
"What then? How can we find this senior? Dai Xiaoxiao asked stupidly.
"Find? Where to look? Xiao Qiong gently scratched the tip of Dai Xiaoxiao's nose and felt that this girl was really too simple. According to his age, this senior is already a tyrant of about 100 years old. Or, long ago return to the loess; Or, already too old to have teeth. It's a world-class problem to find him.
Xiao Qiong frowned, thinking of someone. He is a monk of Zhikong. A sleeper agent who was brutally persecuted during the special period. Master Wujing said that he was collected by a layman surnamed Xian in Xiatang Village, Shitang Town! If Monk Zhikong is Wang Jian, then everything can be said.
"Xiaoxiao, do you remember a story mentioned by Master Wujing of Longquan Temple? The man was hanged from a tree by the Red Guards during the special period. ”
Xiao Qiong looked at Dai Xiaoxiao with fiery eyes, this smart girl does not lack IQ, what she lacks is experience.
"Yes. What's wrong? ”
"I suspect he's my grandfather's old friend. At that time, my grandfather Xiao Jinxin used the principles of feng shui to find the underground palace of Longquan Temple, which was a hidden treasure. Then, the man lurked and became the guardian of the treasure. ”
"You mean he's a thief?"
"Not really. Because of the impact of the torrent of history, Yandang Mountain is high and the emperor is far away. This treasure was gradually forgotten by the authorities. Immediately afterwards, the whole country was liberated and the dynasty was changed. Gradually, he changed from a guardian to the owner of this treasure. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he is suspected of monopoly. And my grandfather, for some reason, maybe to avoid the pursuit, or maybe to wash the stain, fled the family to the north. ”
"So complicated? I'm almost confused. ”
Dai Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh and reached out to turn off the light. Before I knew it, it was more than three o'clock in the morning. The two young men, who were extremely sleepy, finally closed their eyes groggily and slept until dusk. When they woke up again, it was already night.
