Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Chamber of Secrets
At this time, hundreds of bandits chased after him and saw the owner of the village who was shot dead. One by one, they suddenly regained their senses. How did Gao Cheng's strength look like he had been poisoned? Only then did they realize this. I don't know who shouted, and then hundreds of bandit minions threw down their weapons and fled in embarrassment.
Gao Cheng ignored these people, there was no Peng Lianhu in Crouching Tiger Mountain, and he had no ability to resist the encirclement and suppression of the official army, or it would not be long before this cottage would be abandoned.
He passed through the many minions fleeing indiscriminately and came to the Juyi Hall, where he was going to come first when he saw Peng Lianhu fleeing just now. It seems that there is something very precious in this.
The interior of this hall looks very spacious, and there are two rooms on the side of the lobby, and at the top of the lobby is a tiger skin chair with a large Yizi hanging from the chair. Gao Cheng frowned slightly, his eyes scanned around the lobby, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
"No, Peng Lianhu has been entrenched in Crouching Tiger Mountain for many years, and he is a world-famous thief, there must be gold and silver treasures that have been robbed over the years in the lair!
He focused his attention on the entire lobby, his super vision constantly scanning around, and finally after half a ring, he found that there seemed to be traces of friction on the wall on the side of the tiger skin chair.
Gao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, his right hand attached to the wall and sensed slightly, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gap behind this wall, he looked left and right, and found no mechanism, so he simply waved his palm forward and slapped it forward, and a thousand catties of huge force surged out, and the wall suddenly couldn't stand it, and a big hole appeared with a bang.
Through the large hole, you can see a row of stairs extending downward, flanked by bluestone walls and a few unlit oil lamps. Gao Cheng took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, and the situation in the space below suddenly appeared clearly in front of him.
Below is a small secret room, there are two boxes on the left and right sides, Gao Cheng opened it and saw that two of the boxes were gold and silver jewelry, rough calculation, the value of these gold and silver jewelry is definitely more than 100,000 taels of silver. In the Condor World, one or two pieces of silver can be enough for ordinary people to live for several months. One hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money for any person or force.
Gao Cheng looked very lightly at these gold and silver jewelry, he was just a passerby in this world, and sooner or later he would return to the Three Kingdoms World, and no matter how much gold and silver jewelry he had, he couldn't bring it back.
"But with these gold and silver, I can make my cultivation speed go to the next level!"
Gao Cheng thought in his heart, opened the remaining two boxes, one of which contained several wooden boxes, and a strong medicinal fragrance came out of the wooden boxes before he could open them. These wooden boxes are filled with hundreds of years of old mountain ginseng! In the last box, there were a few books.
"It's a martial arts cheat!"
Gao Cheng suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly took it out and looked through it, two of them were the thickest, one recorded the characteristics of various medicinal materials, and the other recorded the configuration methods of more than a dozen poisons and antidotes. The poison that Peng Lianhu quenched on the hidden weapon was one of the dozen or so poisons.
The remaining three books, one is the technique of using hidden weapons, the other is a light technique called Bai Hebu, and the last one is a sword book called Baiyun Sword Technique. Of these three martial arts, the White Crane Step is the most precious, followed by the technique of casting hidden weapons, and the White Cloud Sword Technique is at the bottom.
"Peng Lianhu's cultivation is the secret weapon and light skill! The secret book that can be cultivated to become a good hand in the rivers and lakes is also more precious, but unfortunately I have recently had the Spiral Nine Shadows, and I am not interested in cultivating the secret weapon! On the contrary, this Baiyun Sword Technique is of some use to me!"
After Gao Cheng had the Nine Yin True Scripture, he basically didn't look at ordinary exercises, and for ordinary people, it was extremely precious to ordinary people that could be used as heirloom exercises and secret weapon techniques, he just simply looked at it and put it aside. What he lacks now is a more powerful swordsmanship and marksmanship.
The Baiyun Sword Technique obtained from the secret room was just a third-rate sword technique in the rivers and lakes, and Peng Lianhu didn't practice much after getting it. However, the third-rate swordsmanship is also better than the basic swordsmanship.
Gao Cheng put away the most precious books, and then looked at the remaining few large boxes and frowned slightly, there is no storage equipment in this world, no matter how big these things are, he can't take away three big boxes at the same time.
"These gold, silver, and medicinal herbs are still useful to me, it would be a waste to throw them here!" he frowned, and then he heard a faint commotion outside, as if the minions of the cottage were fighting for some of the cottage's scattered belongings as they fled.
"By the way, I can subdue a few bandits and let them carry these things away!"
Gao Cheng walked out of the Juyi Hall quickly, and at this time, most of the bandit minions in the valley had already run away, leaving one or two hundred people behind, most of whom were old and weak in health. A small part of these people were handymen who did rough work, and the other part were ordinary people who could not survive and were forced to go up the mountain.
The bandits and thieves who have the strength to dare to fight have already robbed the floating wealth of the cottage and fled, and the remaining people have no strength and dare not leave Crouching Tiger Mountain. lest they fall down the mountain into the hands of officers and soldiers.
One or two hundred people up and down the valley saw Gao Cheng, the master who killed the owner of the village, appear again, and they were immediately trembling with fright. They were shocked by a great deal of horror. It is estimated that they will never forget the scene of several heads flying up when Gao Cheng waved his hand.
"These guys look good!"
Gao Cheng suddenly noticed that there were several people gathered not far away, including two teenagers and three middle-aged men with wrinkled faces. They don't have a strong bloody aura on them like everyone else. The three middle-aged men had a bitter face, an honest look, and their clothes were in tatters. At first glance, it is a miscellaneous servant who has been bullied in the cottage.
The teenager behind the three middle-aged people, about twelve or thirteen years old, one was stunned, and the other had bright eyes. was firmly protected by three middle-aged people.
There were some clothes and tools behind them, and these things could be exchanged for at least a few dollars of silver in the pawnshop in Taiyuan City, so two men and a few people surrounded them, trying to snatch these things.
Gao Cheng walked quickly in front of these people, and everyone looked at him, all of them shrank in place and didn't dare to make the slightest movement. He came to the three middle-aged men and said lightly: "You guys, follow me in the future, follow me now!"
The three middle-aged men were surprised and delighted, but they didn't expect that a few of their lowly handymen would actually be favored by this young man who killed Peng Lianhu.
They glanced at each other, and the oldest of them gritted his teeth, led a few people to kneel down and kowtowed twice, shouting, "Thank you for taking in the young man!"
Other people couldn't help but feel a commotion when they saw this scene, and some people wanted to take refuge in Gao Cheng and were about to plead, but they saw Gao Cheng sweeping his eyes sideways, and his eyes flashed coldly, and these people were suddenly shocked and forcibly swallowed their voices. watched as a few handymen and their sons followed Gao Cheng to the Juyi Hall.
