The carriage creaked towards the deepest part of Changbai Mountain, and it was quiet inside.

Through the window of the carriage, you can see the lush green grass outside, and from time to time there are guards with knives who are watching the carriage vigilantly.

Jiang Wan'er put down the curtain of the car and whispered, "Shu Yao, these people are all Pang Taishi's henchmen. ”

Nie Shuyao understood her words very well, and sighed: "It's not easy to control this side." ”

The two looked at each other and nodded silently.

Song Yuan and Song Ze also glanced at each other, and the arms of the two holding Nie Shuyao tighter.

Song Ze said: "Auntie, Ze'er is a big child, and after studying with the master for so long, she will definitely be able to protect her aunt." ”

"Uh-huh. Yuan'er too! Mother, don't worry. Song Yuan also nodded.

Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, touched the heads of the two and said, "You guys, you haven't seen a real battle, how do you know how terrible it is to fight to the death." Remember, don't let it go! If you feel any danger, protect yourself first. ”

The two children pouted in disapproval, "We have been studying with Master for so long, and we are not lazy. ”

Jiang Wan'er also straightened her face and said: "Be obedient, this trip is not child's play." ”

"Yes, Senior Sister!" The little ones suddenly drooped their heads and stopped talking.

Kongming Daoist originally wanted them to worship Jiang Yi as a teacher, but the two children thought that it was great to have a white-bearded grandfather as a master, so they called him master on their own initiative. Although there is no formal acceptance of apprentices, there is also the skill of teaching, and it is also appropriate to call Senior Sister Jiang Wan'er.

It's just that they call theirs. Jiang Wan'er and Nie Shuyao should talk about what they should say, otherwise this generation will be messed up.

lest the wall have ears, until they go out to the cave in the belly of the mountain. They didn't say a word.

It took the carriage nearly half an hour to reach the well-guarded cavern, which had become a small base.

Nie Shuyao got out of the car and looked around, and found that the houses here were basically newly built, and even the roads were repaired very well. From time to time, stones were brought out of the cave, and these stones filled in the ravines outside the cave.

She couldn't help but say to herself: "With such a big construction, haven't the officials here found out?" ”

Just this time, the Gu family and his party also arrived. Being pushed and shoved to Nie Shuyao, Ma Biao just heard her say this, and sneered: "What if you find out." In the end, they all became Pang Taishi's doglegs. ”

"Smack!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cowhide whip fell and blood oozed from Ma Biao's back, and the big man holding him shouted: "What are you talking about! Don't hurry up and let Lao Tzu into the hole. ”

Nie Shuyao's face was cold, this was giving himself a dismount.

But. Looking at the hole and not feeling the danger. I guess they'll be fine until the treasure is opened. Then he took the two children and followed.

Fang Lin had already told the caretaker, and when he saw Nie Shuyao coming, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Princess, please!" ”

The caretaker looked ordinary, and his eyes constantly examined Nie Shuyao and the others.

The Gu family was escorted to the front, followed by Nie Shuyao and a few people, followed by several guards, and Fang Lin.

Nie Shuyao entered the cave without saying a word. The cave is not as dirty and messy as expected, and it is very spacious. Enough to run away from an ordinary carriage. The further you walked inside, the darker the light became, and there were oil lamps on the walls of the cave. The road is unusually bright.

Those who were transporting stones saw that someone was coming, and Nie Shuyao found that these people were ordinary people, and a few of them looked at Ma Biao and the Gu family with helpless eyes.

Aunt Gu walked beside Ma Biao, pulled Sanshun in her hand, turned her head to look at Nie Shuyao who was following them, and said slowly, "Madame, doesn't you want to know where we come from?" ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at her expressionlessly, her footsteps did not stop, and she said softly: "It no longer makes sense to think or not." However, it seems that there is still some time to go, and if you want to say, we are not deaf. ”

Aunt Gu gritted her teeth hatefully and began to speak.

"Our Gu family was originally the same as these stone pickers, all of whom were villagers under the Changbai Mountain. The villagers who live at the foot of Changbai Mountain are basically hunters, and they will go up the mountain to collect some game to improve their lives during the slack season.

This cave was discovered by our people from Gujia Village when they were hunting, and it turned out that a child first found a moonstone here. It was a treasure worth a lot of silver, and the people of our village slowly explored the cave.

It was originally inhabited by wild wolves, and we killed two people in order to get rid of these wild wolves. I got a lot of moonstones, and I thought that these treasures alone would make our village no longer starving, but I never thought that these things brought us ruin.

A year ago, the village chief brought a few people to the village, saying that they could buy all the moonstones at once. We entertained them with good wine and food, but those people were brutes, and that night we joined forces with outsiders to kill the village chief's family.

Later, I learned that they were Pang Taishi's people, and we became Pang Taishi's slaves at that time, and the strong old man who did not die built roads, built houses, and dug holes for him, and those who were in poor health just went. Whining....... ”

In the end, Aunt Gu cried with a whimper.

What happened later, Nie Shuyao didn't have to think about it to understand, but this did not mean sympathy. The fact that a family is at the mercy of others does not justify them from kidnapping themselves and their children.

"Indeed, the wretched must have something to hate." Nie Shuyao muttered to herself.

Aunt Gu, who was crying, immediately stopped, and as soon as her footsteps stopped, she was whipped by the person who escorted her, but she didn't say anything more.

It took nearly two quarters of an hour to reach the end of the cave, which was noticeably narrower, and it seemed that it had not yet been opened up.

Blocking their tracks was a stone door, which had been wiped clean without a trace of dust.

At this time, Fang Lin appeared in front of the people again, holding the box containing Huang Longyu and said to Nie Shuyao: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please!" ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at the box and pulled the child to the stone gate.

The whole stone gate seems to be one, very tall, and there are nine relief dragons carved on it. The dragon has four claws, and the dragon's head is guarding a fireball.

The fireball was also protruding, and the flames that were recessed were carved lifelike, stretching under the dragon's heads of the nine dragons, and no one knew what was inside. It seems to be one.

Nie Shuyao patted the stone door, he could feel the heaviness, and then pressed the fireball in the middle, not moving at all.

Fang Lin reminded: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Grand Master has also pressed it like this, there is no mechanism. ”

Nie Shuyao frowned and said nothing, still rubbing along the carved texture in her own way. In her mind, she was thinking about the treasure map she had gotten.

Except for the vague location of the treasure on it, there was not a single word about Huang Longyu, and not even this gate appeared. However, the appearance of this dragon is carved out of a mold like a yellow dragon jade, which is enough to show that this place is related to treasure. (To be continued......)
