As soon as Wan Ji stood up, he said to everyone, "Tie up this dwarf for me first!" The dwarf looked at his men with trepidation, and all eyes were on him, until he saw that his heart was hairy, and his head was sweating. He "pounced" and knelt in front of Wan Xi, and begged: "The villain has no eyes, offended the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to spare her life!" ”

Wan Xi was angry, and kicked him, he grinned in pain, but he still said with a smile: "Good kick, eldest lady, even this Yangshan also kicked you off." ”

Wan Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "I can kick the mountain, but I can't kick your thief's bones." It's okay to spare you if you don't die, and if I ask you, you have to get it from the truth. If there's half a lie, let my cousin test how hard your bones are! ”

The dwarf lay on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "The villain's sentences are true, and every sentence is true." ”

Wan Ji said, "What's your name?" ”

The dwarf replied: "The villain is not a clan, and a single name is a quasi-word." ”

"No? This is also strange. A single name is accurate, and that is connected to ......" Wan Ji thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, unable to stop for a long time, laughing and saying: "It turns out that your name is not accurate, no wonder...... No wonder, after looking for treasures for half a year, I didn't find ......" Even the weekly exam was infected by her emotions, and she couldn't help but smile.

It's also a little embarrassing to see her smile like this. But his name, everyone will laugh when they hear it, and I've been used to it for years, so I'm not very angry.

Wan Xi finally stopped laughing, took a breath, and then asked, "You just said that you are looking for treasures here, why do you want to be a thief to block the road and rob?" ”

"The weather on the mountain is extremely cold, and the wild fruits in the forest have already been eaten." We couldn't find any prey, so we thought about going down the hill to rob passers-by. If you can get some property, you can go to Yucheng to exchange for some food. I didn't know that I waited for a few days at the bottom of the mountain, but I couldn't see a single person. Seeing your brigade passing by today, we were really forced to be helpless, so we thought about creating some chaos and seeing if we could fish in troubled waters. In fact, even if you lend me another hundred guts, you won't dare to really rob your things. ”

"I don't think you dare. What kind of treasure are you looking for? Wan Xi said in her heart, this person has been looking here for half a year and still doesn't want to give up, that treasure must be extremely important.

I don't know, but I said: "The villain, the villain doesn't know." ”

Wan Xi's face immediately showed anger: "Nonsense, you don't know what the treasure is, so where to start?" It seems that if you don't suffer a little, you won't tell the truth. ”

Don't be busy: "The villain is telling the truth." This matter is a long story, last year the villain was arrested by the government and imprisoned in Faqiu, Fei Guo. Later, a masked man rescued the villain, and he said that he took a fancy to my ability to send a hill and taught me to go to this Shouyang Mountain to find the tomb of Emperor Shun. It is said that there is a treasure in the royal tomb, and as long as I find the treasure and give it to him, there will be a great reward. So the villain went back to his hometown and gathered this group of people to hunt for treasure in the mountains. ”

"Your story is full of flaws, since this man is masked, even if you get the treasure, who will you ask for the reward? Is Miss Ben so easy to deceive? ”

"The man said that after finding the treasure, he would wait at the pavilion in Philadelphia, and naturally someone would come looking for me."

"Didn't he tell you what the treasure was?"

"No, he only said that he would bring everything in Emperor Shun's mausoleum, and he naturally knew it when he saw it. The villain guessed that he was afraid that the villain would swallow the treasure privately, so he didn't tell me what he wanted. ”

Wan Xi snorted and said, "Since you guessed that person's thoughts, it means that you do have the heart to steal treasures." At that time, you only say that you have not found the treasure, and the masked man will not be able to verify it. ”

The voice of the non-allowed trembled slightly: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." ”

Wan Xi said again: "You only rely on the words of a masked man, and you came to this mountain for half a year, if he just joked with you, wouldn't you have worked hard in vain?" ”

"The masked man is very powerful, he not only rescued me from prison, but also knows the villain's family history well. He said that the Bu clan, since the time of the Yellow Emperor, has been the beast that trained fierce beasts for the Son of Heaven. This method of driving beasts is a secret that our clan will not pass on to the outside world, and he can know it clearly. The villain thinks that he is by no means an ordinary person, so how can he make such a joke with me? And he told the villain that everything found in Emperor Shun's mausoleum could be taken away by the villain, and he only needed one of the items. Therefore, therefore the villain ......"

Wan Xi said: "Therefore, you want to be consumed by convenience, and run to this Shouyang Mountain." There is no evidence for what you say, and it may be all your words. ”

He was not allowed to take out an object from his bosom and said, "The villain has a credential, please see it." I saw that what he was holding in his hand was a piece of colored jade, which was exactly the same size and shape as the piece of jade that Wan Xi gave to Zhou Kao. When Zhou Kao saw it, he couldn't help but let out an "ah", and Wan Xi hurriedly glanced at him and signaled him not to be silent. Zhou Kao stretched out his hand and touched it, and his piece of jade was still in his arms, so he was relieved.

Wan Xi pretended to sneer and said, "It's just a piece of jade, what kind of credential is it?" ”

"The masked man said that this piece of colored jade is a clue to find the treasure." But the villain has never understood what the use of this jade is, so he has never found the location of the treasure. ”

Wan Xi's mind spun very fast, and suddenly she burst out laughing. The harder she laughed, the more apprehensive she became. At the end, Wan Xi suddenly said: "You have been deceived." ”

When I heard it, it sounded like a thunderbolt sounded in my head, and I suddenly felt the world spinning, and my lips moved and said, "How do you know? ”

Wan Xi said: "This piece of colored jade is very ordinary, almost all of the princes' families have it, and my family has several pieces, but I didn't bring it out." My cousin is the son of Zhou Hou, and he now has a piece on him. She said to Zhou Kao again: "Cousin, take out your colored jade and let him take a look." ”

Zhou Kao took out the colored jade from his arms according to his words, Wan Xi took it with a smile, and shook it in front of the allowed. He was not allowed to see two pieces of jade that really looked like they were carved out of a mold, and he couldn't help but believe it. Wan Xi sneered and said: "People just took a piece of jade to you, and let you waste half a year, isn't it stupid?" ”

Wan Xi's final blow finally made the inaccurate heart collapse, the masked man said that this colored jade was the key to finding the treasure, and told him to collect it properly, but the two young descendants casually took out a piece of the same thing, just like a child's plaything. In fact, in the past six months, his own heart has been shaken, and now he has finally lost even the last confidence. His hand trembled, and the piece of colored jade slipped to the ground, Wan Xi picked it up, handed the two pieces of jade to Zhou Kao, and said lightly: "Cousin, you can send a piece of jade to your cousin to play with." ”

At this time, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have no grievances with that man, why does he want to harm me like this?" ”

Wan Ji said: "Maybe he was also deceived?" The reason why liars in this world can succeed is because there are always more fools than liars. ”

It is not allowed to know that Wan Xi is scolding herself around the bend, but she is helpless. He was so annoyed that he sat down on the ground without saying a word.

Wan Xi saw his loveless appearance, and the evil breath in her chest was also out. She was worried about her parents, so she said to her subordinates: "We are going back, you can send me down the mountain." ”

But the men looked at each other and did not dare to answer. Wan Xi said strangely: "What's wrong with you?" Don't you want a reward? ”

At this time, an older man said: "Returning to the eldest lady, it is now night, and it is freezing outside, and there are many fierce beasts in this mountain that often haunt at night. The tigers and leopards are not afraid, but the jackals are foraging in the mountains in groups, and if we encounter wolves, we twenty or thirty of us are afraid that we will all die in the belly of the wolf. ”

Wan Ji said: "So that's the case. No, don't you know how to drive beasts? Why don't you lead the way? ”

He said listlessly: "To drive the beast, you need to capture the cubs of the beast first and train them from an early age before it can be effective." If you encounter a wild beast in the mountains and forests, the villain will not be able to do anything. ”

Wan Xi was disappointed when she heard this, and thought: It seems that she is going to spend the night in this crypt tonight, do you want to share a room with this group of stinky men? She was unwilling, snatched the torch in her hand, and carefully examined around the stone room, trying to find out if there was any other way out.

After a long time, she finally found a crack in the wall on the side of the stone chamber. Wan Xi was overjoyed and called, "Cousin, there seems to be a portal here. ”

Zhou Kao walked over to take a closer look, and sure enough, it looked like a stone door. Zhou Exam pushed with his luck, but Shimen did not move at all.

Wan Ji asked, "No, what's behind this stone gate?" ”

Not allowed: "Inside is the tomb where Emperor Shun's coffin is parked." ”

"So, you've already been there? So how did this stone door open? ”

He nodded and said, "Shimen needs nearly twenty people to exert force at the same time to push it." ”

After hearing this, Wan Ji said happily: "Okay! Then come with you, open this door, and let me go in and see." ”

For the subordinates who are not allowed, Wan Xi is now the God of Wealth, who dares not to listen to her words? So everyone walked to the stone gate together, used their strength to eat, and pushed the stone gate slightly open a gap, just enough for one person to pass.

Wan Xi slipped through the crack in the door and immediately retreated. It turned out that although she was curious, she was a little scared, and said to Zhou Kao: "Cousin, you accompany me in." ”

Zhou Kao said: "Inside is the burial place of Emperor Shun, Emperor Shun has knowledge under the spring, I'm afraid it's not good for us to disturb him like this." ”

"Aren't all these people allowed to go in? They went in to steal things, and Emperor Shun had nothing to do with them. Besides, I'm just looking at it and coming out right away. ”

Wan Xi was so strong, but Zhou Kao was helpless, so he took the torch and raised it in his hand, and said to Wan Xi: "You follow me, don't run around." ”

When he entered the tomb first, he felt that it was dark and eerie, and there was a foul smell. Wan Xi followed in, turned back to the people in the stone chamber and said, "You are all waiting here, waiting for me to come out." ”

By the light of the torches, Zhou Kao saw a wooden coffin placed in the center of the tomb, and when he looked closer, the surface of the wooden coffin was also carved with ornaments and some strange symbols. On the ground, there are many pieces of pottery, most of them yellow-brown, but some of them are painted red and have not yet completely faded, and some of them are completely black. Zhou Kao saw that all these pottery had been broken, and hurriedly said to Wan Xi: "Be careful under your feet, don't be cut by these broken pottery." ”

Wan Xi pointed to the wooden coffin and said, "Cousin, look, the lid of this coffin has been opened." ”

I didn't pay attention to the beginning of the weekly exam, but at this time, after Wan Ji reminded me, I saw that the upper cover of the wooden coffin had indeed been lifted. He said in his heart: This person is really hateful, in order to find treasure, he even did not let go of Emperor Shun's coffin.

At this time, Wan Ji said, "Let me see what's inside?" Zhou Kao was about to dissuade him, but Wan Ji had already walked to the wooden coffin and looked in. She only glanced at it and let out an exclamation, Zhou Kao didn't know what was going on, and she hurriedly followed. I saw that the wooden coffin inside had also been opened, but the coffin was empty, and there was nothing.

He and Wan Xi glanced at each other, both of them were silent, and all they thought in their hearts: I don't know where to get Emperor Shun's body?

After a while, Zhou Kao said: "Cousin, wait for me to ask first, where Emperor Shun's body is now." ”

Wan Xi thought for a while and said, "There is no need to rush this matter, Emperor Shun has collapsed for more than a thousand years, and now he has become a dry bone, and sooner or later we will definitely be able to find his remains." On the contrary, it is not allowed to find the treasure, it must be extraordinary, and it is best that we can find it first. ”

Zhou Kao couldn't hold his tongue after hearing this, and said with a surprised face: "Cousin, didn't you say that you might be deceived?" I thought that this treasure hunt was nothing, could it be that there were really treasures in the tomb of Emperor Shun? ”

Wan Xi smiled and said, "No, he was indeed deceived, but I was the one who deceived him." The piece of colored jade I gave you was given by my father when I was ten years old, and he once told me that this jade is handed down by the ancestors of the Xin people for generations, and it is said to be a very important thing, but because of the age, gradually even the elders of the clan do not know what it is used for, but it is a thing to ward off evil spirits. I couldn't hear that this colored jade was a clue to find treasures, and I thought that maybe these two pieces of jade were used to find treasures. ”

Zhou Kao was busy taking out the two pieces of colored jade at this time, and examined them carefully under the firelight with Wan Xi. It's a pity that the two watched it for a long time, but they had no clue. Zhou Kao said: "It's not allowed to look for half a year and don't find clues, how can we find out the secret for a while?" ”

Wan Xi said: "Let's look around the tomb to see if there is anything missing." ”

The two walked along the wall of the tomb, and after a while, Wan Xi really found a secret door, she pushed the door open, and saw that there was a cave room inside, where there were many stone halberds, stone spears, bows, crossbows, arrows and other weapons. She said to Zhou Kao: "Cousin, the weapons that they are not allowed to use may have been taken out of here. ”

Zhou Kao nodded, and said in his heart: I didn't expect that the weapons used by Emperor Shun at that time were very similar to the weapons of the Dog Rong people. He continued to walk forward and found a secret door as well. Zhou Kao gently opened the door, only to see a white shadow fall from behind the door.

When Wan Xi saw it, she screamed in fright, closed her eyes and hid behind Zhou Kao, and grabbed Zhou Kao's arm tightly with both hands. Only then did Zhou Kao see that it was a human skeleton with a lost head, and he hurriedly held Wan Xi's hand and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Wan Xi was so frightened that her whole body was cold at this moment, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, until she felt the warmth from Zhou Kao's palm, which made her feel a little calm.

Zhou Kao saw that there were several skeletons after seeing the secret door, all of which were separated from the corpses, he was worried that Wan Xi would be even more scared when he saw it, so he hurriedly closed the secret door, and then said to Wan Xi: "Don't be afraid, cousin, the door has been closed, and you can't see anything." ”

Wan Xi opened her eyes and saw that the secret door was closed, so she exhaled. She said: "Could this white bone be the remains of Emperor Shun?" ”

Zhou Kao shook his head and said, "I don't know, there are still several corpses in it." I wonder why there are so many dead people in Emperor Shun's royal tomb? ”

Wan Ji thought for a while and replied, "These are probably human martyrs." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Kao sighed: "My father has always advocated thin burial, and he is even more strongly opposed to human martyrdom. Unexpectedly, Emperor Shun would also use people to be martyred. ”

Wan Xi said: "These people were killed after the death of Emperor Shun, and it should be the descendants of Emperor Shun, even if Emperor Shun is the Son of Heaven, he can't manage everything." ”

After she calmed down, she asked Zhou Kao to continue to look for other secret doors, Zhou Kao said: "If there is still a secret door, I don't know what is strange inside, cousin, aren't you afraid?" ”

Wan Xi said: "I'm not afraid of my cousin here." ”

Zhou Kao had to continue to walk forward, but he walked a full circle, but he didn't find the third secret door. He turned to Wan Xi and said, "It seems that there are no other secret doors." ”

Wan Ji said: "It seems that it can only end here." We will now ask where Emperor Shun's remains are. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Kao readily agreed, and the two wanted to return to the stone room. When passing by Emperor Shun's coffin, Wan Xi's gaze stayed on the wooden coffin, and her footsteps slowed down. Zhou Kao turned around and saw Wan Xi's appearance, and also looked at the wooden coffin, and saw a divine beast carved at the end of the wooden coffin, with horns on its head and a bloody mouth, which was very terrifying.

Wan Ji said: "Cousin, look at this Pixiu, what did you think of? ”

Zhou Kao said: "Is this Pixiu?" It looks a bit like a unicorn. ”

"Legend has it that Pixiu likes to eat gold and jade, and several Pixiu in my family are carved from jade. The male of this kind of Rui beast is called Pi, and the female is called Xiu, and they are generally in pairs. If I'm guessing correctly, there should also be a Pixiu at the other end of the coffin. After Wan Xi finished speaking, she circled around the wooden coffin for half a circle, and it was exactly as she said.

Wan Ji said: "Cousin, look at the shape of this Pixiu's mouth, is it somewhat similar to those two pieces of colored jade?" ”

After hearing this, Zhou Kao hurriedly compared the colored jades to see that they were indeed very similar. He said, "Could it be that the clue lies in these two Pixius?" He stepped forward and looked at Pixiu's mouth, which was empty; He tried to pull the beast's head again, but there was no movement.

Wan Xi said: "Cousin, you put the colored jade into Pixiu's mouth and try it." ”

Zhou Kao immediately stuffed a piece of jade into Pixiu's mouth, and it was just embedded in it, but nothing happened after embedding. The two of them couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and Wan Xi said: "Put the remaining piece of jade into the mouth of another Pixiu, if it still doesn't work, then I can't think of a way." ”

So the two of them went around again and put the jade into Pixiu's mouth again. This time, I immediately heard a muffled "pop" sound from the middle part of the wooden coffin. They followed the sound and saw a small square hole in the ground at the waist of the coffin.

They cheered at the same time: "This must be it!" After saying that, the two couldn't help but laugh at each other. Zhou Kao was about to step forward to check the small hole in the ground, but Wan Xi heard a slight noise behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a figure in the darkness swooping towards Zhou Kao, and a copper knife in her hand was shining slightly. Wan Xi immediately shouted: "Cousin, be careful! ”
