Ge Lao pondered for a long time before turning around and walking towards the depths of the secret room, and after a short time, he walked back with a simple jade box. The jade box is carved from a whole piece of black jade, which is a priceless treasure on the market, which shows how precious the contents are.

Ge Lao motioned to Gu Xing to put away the animal skin, carefully put the jade box on the silver desk, and slowly opened it, and suddenly it was full of brilliance, enveloping the entire secret room. When Gu Xing looked at it, there was a colorful beast bone in this black jade box, which was completely different from the one brought by the envoy of Yichu.

But after a closer look, except for the color, they are all the same, which makes Gu Xing puzzled. Seeing Gu Xing's puzzled face, Ge Lao closed the black jade box before slowly saying, "The envoy of Yichu brought it is a fake. Gu Xing heard Ge Lao's words, and only then did he react.

Ge Lao then added: "Even if it is a fake, it is a priceless treasure. Gu Xing was puzzled and asked suspiciously: "Since it is a fake, why is it also a priceless treasure so different from the value of the genuine product." ”

Ge Lao smiled, asked Gu Xing to take out the animal skin, put it on the black jade box, and then said slowly: "Because when this beast bone was born, it was copied by someone. The beast bones used to reproduce are carved with the descendants of the unique Flowing Firefly Beast of the Dry Dragon Yuan, so it can be said that there is no difference in use. The only difference is that only this stream of fireflies can open the mechanism of the Nine Shadows Abyss. ”

Gu Xing didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded frequently. Although I haven't heard of any firefly beasts, looking at the strange and brilliant beast bones, I think it is also a treasure of abnormality, and it is a few grades higher than the lion outside the Lonely Roaring Heights.

After Ge Lao finished speaking, he took the black jade box into the depths of the secret room and put it away, and said to Gu Xing: "According to the method I just made, rub a copy." Gu Xing was about to say that he would ask Old Ge to do it himself, but he didn't expect that the old man had already walked in and disappeared without a trace.

Gu Xing could only desperately recall Ge Lao's operation just now, and rubbed the map of the Nine Abysses Territory with the gourd drawing. After Ge Lao came out, he respectfully handed over the animal skin and rubbing to him. Ge Lao smiled and nodded, and walked towards the stairs of the secret room. Gu Xing also hurriedly followed, and as he left, he glanced into the depths of the secret room, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Out of the secret room, Ge Lao handed over the copy of the rubbing to the shopkeeper Xu and asked him to draw another copy. Gu Xing asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you print more rubbings just now?" Want to paint with this rubbing? Ge Lao didn't answer, but just urged Shopkeeper Xu to hurry up. After half a burnt incense, the shopkeeper Xu saw that the drawn picture was handed over to Ge Lao, and after Ge Lao got it, he went out and got into the carriage and rushed to the direction of the palace.

After getting into the car, Ge Lao lowered his voice and said to Gu Xing: "You don't have to know the doorway. It's just that if this animal skin continues to be rubbed, I'm afraid it will be scrapped. Gu Xing suddenly realized, and stopped speaking, and sat obediently on the side, waiting for Ge Lao's orders.

Ge Lao Xu was a little tired, stretched his waist, and walked down, and after a while, he faintly snored. After a long time, he came to the back door of the palace, Gu Xing secretly calculated that this trip was a lot more time than just now, this groom was really the master of this line of food, and he served the master properly.

When he came to the back door, the person who greeted him at the front door just now was already waiting at the door, and Ge Lao saw the person who came smiling, and took out a silver coin from his sleeve and stuffed it. The man didn't shirk, took the money and whispered, "The prince is already impatient, hurry up." ”

Ge Lao hurriedly thanked him, and walked in with the man. Gu Xing followed at the end, looked around, and found that there was no noise here, which showed that the area of the palace was very large. After walking for half a cup of tea, he came to a door, and after the man knocked lightly, he pushed the door in. After a while, he walked out again, signaling Ge Lao Gu to wake up and the two of them to go in, while he waited outside the door.

When the two of them entered, the man gently closed the door. There was smoke inside the door, and maybe some sandalwood was burned, which soothed people's nerves. The prince was sitting on the table at this time, holding this art of war in his hand and looking at it, when he saw that Ge Lao and the two had arrived, he put down the book and asked expectantly, "But what did you find?" ”

Ge Lao clasped his fists and saluted: "Tell the prince, I have seen the real thing." "This is a secret saying from connoisseurs, saying that this object has a hole, but it is still cracked to reveal its true appearance. Just when Gu Xing secretly said that Ge Lao wanted to take credit, Ge Lao suddenly said again: "Thanks to the little apprentice's cleverness, otherwise the old man would have to work harder." ”

The prince looked at Gu Xing, nodded approvingly, took the animal skin from Ge Lao's hand, and looked at it carefully. Ge Lao also stepped forward and repeated what he had just said to the prince, of course, hiding that he had animal bones and that the messenger of Yichu had brought a fake.

Gu Xing sighed to himself: "This old man is so scheming, he has to let me carry the blame, if there is merit, it will be shared, if something happens, then it will be carried by himself." He also gagged himself and tied himself tightly, unable to reveal other details. ”

Gu Xing had to watch Ge Laokou hanging from the side, and the old man added oil and vinegar to say a bunch of metaphysics, and nodded his head again and again. After speaking, the prince clapped his hands, and the attendant walked in.

The prince gave a few instructions to the attendant and asked him to bring Xiang Qian, the envoy of Yichu. After receiving the order, the attendant retreated, and the prince sat back at the table at this time, and said to Ge Lao: "Do you know what to say later?" Ge Lao smiled and nodded, and patted Gu Xing and said, "With me here, there is no way out." ”

Gu Xing was already gritting his teeth with hatred at this time, the old man seemed to have made up his mind to push it out to block the arrows, and he watched from the back safely. It's ruthless enough, you guy, I helped you twice, and I still refuse to let go of my vigilance, it seems that I can only pull you into the water to protect myself.

Not long after, Xiang Qian, the leader of the Yichu envoys, came here. Seeing that Ge Lao and the two were there, his face was also a little excited, and he asked the prince: "Dare to ask the prince, do you have eyebrows?" ”

The prince did not answer directly, but motioned to Elder Ge to speak. Ge Lao stood up and coughed lightly twice and said, "It's the secret in the animal skin that has been cracked." Xiang Qian frowned slightly, took the animal skin and looked at it for a long time, and then asked indifferently: "That's all?" ”

Ge Lao smiled, motioned for Gu Xing to continue, and directly picked up a cup of tea from the side and tasted it. Even though Gu Xing was reluctant, he could only bite the bullet and continue, and after thinking about it, he said: "This is the Vice-Nine Abyss Territory Map, and the place marked by the red dot is where the beast bones are hidden. ”

After listening to Gu Xing's words, Xiang Qian's face softened, and then asked, "Is there any other information?" Gu Xing glanced at Ge Lao, Ge Lao nodded, and motioned for him to continue. Only then did Gu Xing turn his head and say to Xiang Qian: "Through these clues, it can be deduced that the place where the treasure is buried is in the Nine Abyss Extreme Abyss. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Qian's face showed surprise, and there was no change in the other people. Xiang Qian wanted to continue to ask, but the prince suddenly said: "Envoy Xiang, we have already said so much, let's talk about the next things later." The top priority is to solve the immediate concerns. ”

Xiang Qian felt rude, so he clenched his fists and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, the coming week is menacing at this time, I don't know what your country should do?" The prince did not answer in a hurry, but motioned for Ge Lao and the two to retreat. At this point, it would be a bit out of place to let them listen to it.

Ge Lao got up to say goodbye, and when Gu Xing left, he paid special attention to Xiang Qian's demeanor, and when he found that he was also looking at him, he quickly lowered his head. Xiang Qian smiled faintly, and turned his head to talk to the prince again.

Gu Xing followed Ge Lao out of the backyard of the palace quickly, and only after getting into the carriage did he ask: "Ge Lao, you let me say, aren't you afraid that I will leak my mouth?" Ge Lao smiled slightly and said, "With your ingenuity, you will definitely not leak your mouth." ”

Gu Xing could only give up and stop talking. But Ge Lao didn't mean to stop there, and asked Gu Xing a meaningful question: "Are you willing to sincerely worship under my door?" After speaking, he looked at Gu Xing's eyes, as if waiting for his answer.

When Gu Xing heard the question, he wanted to prevaricate a few words, but he didn't expect this old man to be so rare and serious, so he also replied seriously: "I don't want to." You know, even if I say yes, you won't believe it. Ge Lao seemed to have expected Gu Xing to say this, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Although I am a little disappointed, at least you are very honest, I like it very much." No matter what you think, from this moment on, you will officially become my closed disciple and will inherit my mantle. ”

Gu Xing was not moved by Ge Lao's words, but said indifferently: "You want to push me down again?" Ge Lao smiled noncommittally and said, "You are not very old, and you have a lot of thoughts. I didn't think so, and you'll see later. ”

Gu Xing no longer entangled, nor did he pretend, he sat indifferently on the side, no longer speaking. Ge Lao Xu thought of something, and after looking at Gu Xing, he opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside. It's just that Gu Xing doesn't know what Ge Lao is thinking at this moment, and he doesn't want to know.

After a short time, the carriage returned to the penny village, and Ge Lao came to the lobby with the support of Gu Xing, a harmonious scene of grandchildren blending. Shopkeeper Xu watched the two come back, turned sideways and whispered a few words beside Ge Lao, Ge Lao nodded, and there was no extra expression on his face.

After taking Gu Xing around the money village for a while, Ge Lao beckoned to the shopkeeper Xu and said, "Xu Xing, this is my closed disciple Gu Xing, you arrange an errand for him, starting from the most basic learning." After speaking, he walked to the inner hall courtyard, Gu Xing only breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, and followed the old man, really walking on thin ice.

Shopkeeper Xu watched Ge Lao walk away, and then asked Gu Xing in a low voice: "Ge Lao has not accepted apprentices for more than ten years, how are you ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Xing and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, arrange an errand." Shopkeeper Xu choked back by Gu Xing's words, so he could only give up. I couldn't have a seizure, so I could only point to a person on the far right side of the lobby and say, "Learn from that wood, okay?" ”

Gu Xing was noncommittal, nodded indifferently, no matter what, it was finally stabilized. As for what to do, it doesn't matter anymore.
