Chapter 177: Treasure Keeper

"Come, don't stand here, come into our village and sit for a while!" Zhu Lao was stunned for a while before he remembered this.

He also kind of understood the reason why he could let the three grandmasters act together. But they still invited the three into the village.

Zhao Li and the three of them glanced at each other, and then followed behind Zhu Lao and walked towards the village.

Stone paths, stone houses, wooden yards. Everything seemed to go back to ancient times, if it weren't for the fact that these villagers were all dressed in modern clothes.

Zhao Li looked at all this around with great interest, it was so beautiful, I would never see such an idyllic village in China again.

"Da Niu, you go and inform the clan elders in the village to come to my house!" Zhu Lao commanded as he walked.

"Okay, Ancestor!" After several young people glanced at Zhao Li and the others, they immediately dispersed.

Zhao Li didn't ask so much, and followed the customs.

The village is not large, with more than 200 families, but most of the houses are empty, and a few are elderly people living there.

"Alas, the young people in the village are becoming more and more lonely, and they all go out, and only those of us who have lived in the mountains all our lives do not want to go out." Zhu Lao said as he walked.

"Old Zhu, modern society is like this, I have seen the outside world of flowers, and I can't keep it if I want to stay in the village, but the village is always their roots, and they will come back when they are old!" Zhao Li comforted.

This is also the case in China, where those who remain in the villages are young and old, and the young people have gone to the cities. He didn't have a good idea.

"Yes, this is their root," Zhu Lao seemed to fall into the memory again.

A few people quieted down again and walked until they reached a courtyard.

"This is my home, only an old man lives here, the village elders will come over soon, you can have a cup of tea first." It's definitely not a trivial matter to get your three great grandmasters to make a move, so let's talk about it slowly! Zhu Lao walked into the room.

Dirt floors, stone walls, a few simple pieces of wooden furniture. This is the house in Zhao Li's eyes.

All three stood in the middle of the room and looked at each other. Because none of the three had ever seen such a house. It's a bit surprising indeed.

Zhu Lao came out with a hot water bottle in a room and put it on the table.

"Come, all sit! You're welcome! After saying that, he poured a cup of tea for everyone.

As soon as Zhao Li's cup of tea was drunk, he saw four old men coming in at the door.

"Dick. The fifth, the eighth, and the tenth, you are here, let me introduce you, these three are the military master Sun Jianguo from China, the Confucian Zhao Li, and the feng shui master Gao Ming. They are all grandmasters. These four are the elders of our village, because we are all surnamed Zhu. It's all cousins. Then you call them second, fifth, eight, and ten. Zhu Lao said seriously.

"Has Huaxia produced a grandmaster again?"

"I didn't expect our village to be so fortunate to have three grandmasters here!"

"I've seen three grandmasters!"

"Don't, you're welcome, you're much older than us. Just call us by name! Zhao Li said with a smile.

With the four elders joining, this group of talents is really lively. A few old men asked Zhao Li about their Huaxia from time to time. Zhao Li also replied cheerfully.

After a while. Zhao Li saw that the time was ripe, and suddenly asked.

"Old Zhu, what's going on in your village?"

A Chinese village hidden in Australia will definitely not be so simple, and most of the people in this village still practice martial arts.

"Well, I knew you were going to ask this question. Can you answer a few questions before you answer? Zhu Lao sighed.

"Okay, you ask, we know everything," Gao Ming affirmed.

Elder Zhu nodded and said, "Is there something wrong with you guys here?" ”

Listen to this question. Zhao Li's heart suddenly moved, and they communicated with each other with their eyes before Zhao Li answered.

"Old Zhu, we won't lie to you, this time the three of us were sent by the state to hunt for treasures, and now it has been spread all over Sydney that there is Zhu Yunwen's treasure here, and the country also knows that the jade seal of the country is inside, so the three of us must bring the jade seal back!"

"Zhu Yunwen's treasure is still spreading all over Sydney, what's going on!" Several old men stood up in shock.

Zhao Li and the three of them looked at these people and immediately smiled, surnamed Zhu, and still lived in seclusion in the treasure, if they said that they had nothing to do with Zhu Yunwen, they would not believe it if they were killed.

"Yes, the whole of Sydney knows about it, and there are a lot of forces from all over the world, the United States, Japan, and many practitioners from Southeast Asia have come to Sydney. It seems that they will not go back if they can't find the treasure! Zhao Li said.

Listening to Zhao Li's words, the faces of several old men suddenly became a little ugly. It's a pity that Zhao Li doesn't plan to let them go.

"Our earth master Gao Ming speculated that the treasure should be in the Four Elephants Killing Array in the Sifang Mountain Range, it is really a good place to hide treasures!" Zhao Li said with a look of praise.

"What, you all know where the treasure is!"

"Impossible, who revealed it!"

Several old men shouted.

After a while, everyone fell silent.

"Zhao Li, who else knows this news besides you?" Zhu Lao said in a deep voice.

"We are the first to know, not everyone has a master, but I see it soon, how old is Sydney, these people have been looking for two months, and they will always find someone from the Sifang Mountains!" Zhao Li said seriously.

After speaking, everyone fell silent again, only the sound of drinking tea.

In the end, Zhu Lao couldn't hold on and sighed.

"Look at the secret that our Zhu family has kept for hundreds of years is about to be revealed, aren't a few grandmasters curious about our village, I can tell you now!"

"Big brother, no, how can you tell them casually, what if they are lying?"

"Yes, big brother, let's ask someone to investigate!"

Several old men became anxious when they saw that the eldest brother seemed to be about to tell the secret.

"Shut up, listen to me, you think I want to say it, what Zhao Li said is true, the clansmen we mixed outside a few days ago asked me about it, even our clansmen are suspicious, those outsiders will find here sooner or later!" Zhu Lao shouted.

As soon as Zhu Lao said this, several old men lowered their heads and sighed. Zhu Lao didn't care about them and continued.

"You may also guess that our village is surnamed Zhu, and it does have a lot to do with Zhu Yunwen, because the people in our village are the treasure-keepers of the Zhu family. Originally, we didn't have the surname Zhu, but hundreds of years have passed, and we have guarded the treasure for the Zhu family, but the Zhu family has indeed declined, and in the end it can't be maintained, so we all changed our surnames to Zhu, and we also merged with us. For hundreds of years, no matter what happened outside, our village has kept this secret from generation to generation. It's finally possible to say it today! ”

"Treasure keeper," Zhao Li and the others were shocked, they thought that this was the descendant of the Zhu family.

"Then you haven't thought about digging up the treasure for hundreds of years?" Zhao Li asked curiously.

"Why not, at the beginning of the Four Elephants Killing Array, we could still get in and out, at that time, Zhu Yunwen brought a lot of ministers and troops over, we developed very well in Australia, opened a lot of gold mines, and successively we also transported hundreds of tons of gold bricks into it, keeping it for backup, but later after the death of the national teacher, the formation became more and more murderous, and we couldn't go in." Zhu Lao smiled bitterly.

Guarding a big treasure, the people in the village are indeed very poor, which is something that no one can accept.

"In addition to looking for the jade seal of the country, what should you do with those gold bricks!" Zhu Lao asked suddenly.

"In principle, the state only needs to pass on the jade seal, and the three of us can't transport those gold bricks, but the state allows us to choose a treasure in it." Gao Ming replied.

"Then do you think this will work, our village can send someone to lead the way, we don't want the jade seal of the country, we don't need other treasures, we just need gold bricks?" Zhu Lao asked: "You have also seen the Four Elephants Killing Array, our ancestors left a slightly safer road when they set up the formation, and it is difficult to go further even if you are a grandmaster without us leading the way." ”

"Are you leading the way, it's not impossible, but you want too many gold bricks, a few hundred tons of your village has the strength to preserve," Zhao Li said angrily: "In this world, there is not only money, but also power, if you have an army hundreds of years ago, then it's okay, but in your current village, I dare to say that you have a treasure one day, and the next day you are all done, don't tell me how many martial arts practitioners there are in your village, to be honest, even a few of our grandmasters dare not do it with the army." ”

"Then what do you say, we can't have our share of the treasure handed down by our ancestors," several old men cried.

"It's very simple, you can want this treasure, you can get the share you deserve, but the gold bricks are the way to death, give these gold bricks to the state, and the country will make up for you billions, which is enough for you for several lifetimes. And the money is kept in the bank, and it is insured, so you don't have to transfer it again. Zhao Li said casually.

"Well, we'll have to think about it!" Zhu Lao was also a little moved.

So he called some old men and went to another house to discuss.

"Brother Zhao, how can you casually promise them billions, what if the country doesn't allow it!" Sun Jianguo said urgently.

They were all from the soldiers' family, and he didn't want to lie to them.

"Don't worry, Brother Sun, hundreds of tons of gold bricks for billions, the country will definitely agree, isn't it billions, the country can print it in a day!" Zhao Li said with a smile.

You can print as many banknotes as you want, but gold is a different kind of hard commodity.

"Yes, don't worry, billions are a set of numbers for a country," Gao Ming is also very sure about this. And this was originally someone else's ancestor. It is also appropriate to give points to others.

After a while, the old men seemed to have discussed it and returned to the table.

"Okay, then let's just say it, the country has to make up for us at least eight billion," Zhu Lao said in a deep voice.

There are more than 1,000 people in Zhujia Village, and with these 8 billion, everyone can live the life of a rich man. Zhao Li is right, there must be power if there is more money. Otherwise, it is the way to die.

"Okay, I can guarantee this," Zhao Li said with a smile.

"Let's arrange how to enter the formation!" (To be continued......)
