Chapter 252: What Is Buried on the Mountaintop (Part II)
Then, with a dark face, he put his sword back into its sheath, picked up the best shovel and walked into the bamboo forest. In order to hide the embarrassment on his face, after all, he really forgot about this matter completely.
"It's good that you're here, otherwise we'll have to dig it out, and it is estimated that this hand will be useless."
Bai Jingyin thanked him and asked:
"But how did you know we were going up the mountain?"
"I was not far away when the village chief spoke, how could I not hear it, there are martial arts, and my hearing is naturally better than others." Then he took out a hoe and handed it to Bai Jingyin,
"If you can find a tool, you can use it."
Bai Jingyin held the hoe and stood in place, lowering his head as if he was in a daze, and had no intention of moving forward. He was still muttering:
"There are martial arts, ear power, and martial arts are in ......"
Shao Jingyi was about to ask with concern, when he heard an angry voice from the bamboo forest:
"Not yet, what are you waiting for!"
This sound successfully dragged Bai Jingyin out of his thoughts, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Ah, what's the matter, alas? When did this hoe come to me? β
"Are you alright?"
Shao Jingyi asked with some concern.
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the problem, it's not a big deal, let's go over first, it's a little later, it is estimated that the master will go berserk."
In the silence of the night,
Only a crescent moon with the sound of the wind,
In the bamboo forest, you can hear the sound of the earth stirring. It was a rare sight, an emperor, a concubine, and a court official, all of whom now looked like ordinary coolie men, holding the tools in their hands, bending over and raising their arms, and swinging their hoes at once.
Or rather, only two of them are really digging hard,
Although Bai Jingyin shaved a few times with a hoe, and then fell into a trance again, he always felt that something was wrong, but where was it.
"Bai Jingyin, who allowed you to be lazy."
Yuan Ruiming's cold voice came,
Live like an overseer.
"Huh? Is it done digging. β
Bai Jingyin came back to his senses, still looking very confused.
"Not yet, but after digging so deep, it should be soon." Shao Jingyi replied.
"What's wrong with you today, you've been distracted."
Seeing that her expression still didn't seem quite right, and her heart was heavy, Yuan Ruiming couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It's nothing, maybe it's easy to think cranky when you're sleepy."
Bai Jingyin smiled, and then continued to wave the hoe, waved it a few times, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't think of a question that he couldn't think of before, and now he has some eyebrows,
She straightened up and recalled:
"By the way, Shao Jingyi, you just said that people with martial arts have better hearing than others?"
Shao Jingyi didn't know how she repeated what she had just said for no reason,
But he still nodded seriously,
"Yes, you should also know it yourself, in fact, not only hearing, but also in order to train sensitivity, the five senses will be more acute than ordinary people.
to be able to defeat the enemy. β
"Then how did the emperor find you?"
Shao Jingyi looked at Yuan Ruiming,
"Distance, and whether there is a deliberate hidden trace."
"In the end, I didn't try to hide anymore, so it became easier to detect."
Shao Jingyi agreed.
"What did you find?"
Yuan Ruiming's big Bai Jingyin would not be entangled in this point for no reason, and he also stopped his movements and listened to her carefully.
"So, that's where it's very problematic, don't you think?" Bai Jingyin frowned, after some combing, she was finally sorted out now.
"Shao Jingyi and the emperor are both people with martial arts, and they can be detected in the end. What about the village chief, an ordinary person, and the eyes of the old man are not very good at night, so you have to see this scene clearly, according to his words, it was hidden at that time, probably ...... There, right there. Bai Jingyin walked to a bush on the opposite side, "The distance is just like this, he doesn't know martial arts, and the opponent should be Xuanyi, who was chasing us in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, how could such a master not notice that there is a person squatting here?" β
The more Bai Jingyin spoke, the more determined he became,
"It's too unreasonable, isn't it?"
was reminded like this, and the two also found the problem, which is really as Bai Jingyin analyzed,
"At that time, I brought a lot of hired men, could it be that there were many people, so it was confused and omitted."
"It's possible, but it's also possible that the village chief is lying?"
Bai Jingyin's eyes were even more puzzled,
"But it doesn't make sense, what's the benefit of him if he lied to us, not to mention that we are their saviors, if we offend Ling Xiang, we will protect him, and he has already revealed his identity, he doesn't dare."
"Now all kinds of speculation are fearless, let's see what's in the box."
After that, Yuan Ruiming picked up the shovel,
Bai Jingyin and Shao Jingyi also worked together, speeding up the movements in their hands, with the foreshadowing in front, this time they had already seen a corner of the box without shoveling a few times,
The dirt on it was clear and clean, and it was a large three-foot-wide mahogany box, coated with a seal, and it would not rot if buried in the ground.
"Get out of the way."
Yuan Ruiming drew his sword,
Crisply slashed at the large iron lock on the chest.
"Dingβ"
A crunch,
The lock fell to the ground with a thud, and it was cut in half.
Everything seems to be pretty effortless, and it's going very well.
Then it's time to 'unbox'.
Although he is dissatisfied with the emperor again, he still has the consciousness of being a minister.
"Let's come on."
Shao Jingyi also pulled out his sword and carefully inserted it into the gap in the wooden box. Because they didn't know what they would face after opening it, the three of them were all holding their breath at the moment.
Done a defensive stance,
Concentrate on the box.
Pull out the force,
The lid is easy to open.
They subconsciously took a few steps back, making sure there was nothing
After the movement and danger, he lowered his vigilance a little and stepped forward to investigate.
It was too dark, and I saw only in the huge box,
It's all wood and stuff,
Bai Jingyin picked up a piece of wood casually, frowned and threw it aside, "Isn't it, are you kidding me, so Ling Xiang just put so much effort into this box of wood?" As for letting Ling Yugui personally supervise the work, what kind of immortal wood is this. β
"Don't jump to conclusions, maybe it's just a cover-up."
Yuan Ruiming took out the wood one by one,
"Sure enough."
When he was about to reach the bottom, he finally found the small dark red brocade box hidden under a pile of wood.
This discovery,
All of a sudden, Bai Jingyin's eyes rose again.
"There's really something!"
