Xiling Yue was taken aback: "Sister Kong, how did you take it out?" She remembered that when she left the chamber yesterday, she had already put the cane back in its place. Later, Dali Temple guarded the entrance of the secret room, and it was not easy to go in and steal it.

Jing Jing'er was ashamed when she heard this, and said to Li Chengxuan: "Yesterday, my junior sister saw this martial arts cane in the secret room, and she secretly took it out and hid it on the beam of the Qing Xiu Garden. If it weren't for the fact that I discovered her strange whereabouts today, I wouldn't have even been able to hide this matter...... Although my sister is famous for stealing, she has always been a thief, but she didn't expect it to be ...... now."

Jing Jing'er was embarrassed at this point, so she could only get up and apologize to Li Chengxuan: "The prince believes in our senior brother and sister so much, and asked the two of us to help solve the case, but we stole such a valuable treasure, and we really have no shame to face the prince." ”

Kongkong'er also held the cane in both hands, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "It's me who is fascinated for a while, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

Li Chengxuan's attitude was noncommittal, he took the cane, looked at it carefully, and asked, "This was found in the secret room of the Qing Xiu Yuan?" ”

"Exactly." Jing Jinger confirmed.

Li Chengxuan rubbed the object in his hand: "I have also heard a little about the martial queen's cane, are you sure it is this thing?" ”

"The Tongtian cane is extremely skilled, there is only one in the world, and we will never admit that we are wrong." Jing Jing'er replied confidently.

Li Chengxuan didn't speak again, just grabbed the handle of the crutch and tried to use it to walk two steps. Then he sat back down and looked at it again.

Kongkong'er thought he was angry, twisted the white yarn around his waist with both hands, and said weakly: "Lord, I really know that I was wrong......

Li Chengxuan still didn't respond, and continued to look at the cane in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly said, "This cane is very light." ”

The other three were stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Li Chengxuan weighed the Tongtian cane and said, "You have naturally heard of the origin of this cane. Empress Wu said that the emperor was very old when he was old, so he summoned craftsmen from all over the world to build a cane for him, and selected this one from 100,000 canes, and it was the unintentional work of the craftsman. Because it was made in the first year of Long Live Tongtian, this cane was called 'Tongtian Cane', and in the ten years before the death of Empress Wu, he never left his hand every day. ”

"That's why it's priceless." The elf was even more ashamed.

"But you have overlooked one thing," Li Chengxuan held up the cane, "This cane is a red process, according to legend, it is made of wood ash and metal as the fetus, and the fetal bones are brushed with red paint, a total of 199 layers are brushed, and the pattern is carved when the red paint is half gān." Because the red paint is removed layer by layer with a knife, it is called 'red removal'. ”

"Only by removing red can we keep this bright vermilion forever, is there anything wrong?" Kongkonger still didn't understand.

"What's wrong is that with its size and size, if it were made of wood ash and metal, it would never be so light."

As soon as Li Chengxuan's words came out, Jing Jing'er immediately took the cane and tried it, with a solemn expression: "Yes, this cane is indeed too light." ”

Yesterday in the secret room, Kongkong'er had been holding this cane, so he didn't have a chance to weigh it carefully, only looked at the style and carving. And because Kongkong'er was too excited, he didn't think about the weight of this cane, and at this moment, after being reminded by Li Chengxuan, the two suddenly discovered this problem.

"That's a fake?" Xiling Yue shrugged.

Jingjing'er and Kongkong'er suddenly felt embarrassed, and the former couldn't help but sigh: "I think my brother and sister have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years and have seen countless treasures, but I didn't expect to look away from this cane." ”

Kongkonger felt even more incredible: "Who can be exactly like it?" What a master. ”

"It's not necessarily a copy." Li Chengxuan's words were amazing again.

"The prince has something to say, don't sell it anymore!" The empty air listened anxiously.

Li Chengxuan once again left her aside. Kongkonger was ignored by him several times today, and he was embarrassed and dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered in a low voice: "It's over, the prince is really angry with me." ”

Xi Lingyue knew that he was thinking about things, so she comforted him in a low voice: "Sister Kong, don't think about it, you just watch." ”

As she said, Li Chengxuan's heart is on this cane. He examined it carefully, thought for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on the bottom of the cane, and said to Jing Jing'er: "Brother Jing, you are good at cleverness, let's see if this place can be opened?" ”

Jing'er immediately came to her senses: "Do you suspect that this cane is hollow? ”

"Hmm." Li Chengxuan gently tapped the bottom of the cane.

Jing'er also observed for a long time, and said: "It seems to be an organic bracket, but it is not easy to open, if the method is not appropriate, this cane will be destroyed." ”

For those who love antiques, the most intolerable thing is the destruction of treasures. The elf didn't want to destroy such a precious thing in order to verify whether the staff was hollow.

However, Li Chengxuan didn't care, and looked up at the empty space again: "Lend me the hairpin you unlocked." ”

"Oh." The latter took down a hairpin as thin as a needle and handed it over, and Li Chengxuan carefully pierced the tip of the hairpin to the bottom of the cane.

Kongkong'er was very distressed when he saw this: "Lord Wang, beware, beware!" ”

Li Chengxuan had no distractions, and persistently explored the bottom of the cane.

Until Xiling Yue lost her patience, and before a few people could come up with a result, she couldn't help yawning, and said casually: "It's so complicated, it's better to break it directly." ”

As soon as these words came out, the movements in Li Chengxuan's hand stopped instantly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Jing'er hurriedly stopped: "It can't be broken, otherwise this cane will be ruined!" ”

Xilingyue spread her hands again: "Brother Jing's words are not right. Now the prince has confirmed that this cane is too light, either it is a fake, or it is hollow inside. If it is a fake, if it is ruined, it will be ruined, what is there to be sorry for? But if it is genuine, what secret is hidden in it if it is not kept, and the value of that secret is not more important than that of a cane? ”

Jing'er couldn't refute it.

"The county lord has a point!" Kongkonger also figured it out and agreed, "Then what are you waiting for, you will break ......"

Before she could say the word "break", she heard a "snap" sound in her ears, and Li Chengxuan had already broken the bottom of the cane. The three of them all looked over and found that it was really hollow! There is also a white silk silk stuffed in it!

"There's a secret!" Xiling Yue was the most excited.

Li Chengxuan poked the tip of the hairpin in, cautiously pulled out the white silk, and found that the white silk was very large and long, and it took several rolls to stuff it into the cane. Although it is very old, you can still faintly see the writing on it, but the ink has faded to a light brown color.

He slowly opened the huge white silk, and his eyes lit up after just one glance.
