Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya left Caicheng and traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, so uncomfortable. Especially the little white ape, who broke away from the shackles of the town and returned to the mountains, his wildness suddenly burst out. I saw him jump from the ground to the top of the tree, and then leap from the top of the tree to the rocks dozens of feet away, and then run up the hillside, and after a while, he disappeared. Zhan Chi was so excited to see that he broke free and Mo Wuya followed from behind.

Hearing only a whistling, the little white ape stood on the top of the mountain, the waterfall was torrenting at his feet, he jumped down, followed closely behind the little white ape, and Zhan Chi also jumped down. Mo Wuya was shocked in his heart, flew over, hugged Zhan Chi halfway up the mountain, and then went to find the little white ape, but he was all gone. Mo Wuya fell to the waterfall lake, Zhan Chi in his arms was still struggling, and shouted anxiously: "I want to play with the little white ape." At this time, I saw a little white head exposed, and kept grimacing at Zhan.

"Just let him go down and play for a while." Zhan Wuxian came over and smiled.

"You're just spoiling them." Mo Wuya's hand loosened slightly, and he jumped into the water with a plop.

Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya sat by the lake, admiring everything in front of them, and they felt more and more relaxed and free. The green grass grows, the flowers are fragrant, the mountain fragrance is charming, and it is late spring before you know it.

On this day, Zhan Wuxian and his wife passed by a mountain village, and they happened to be hungry, so they wanted to go to the village to buy some food, and even knocked on the doors of several houses, but no one answered, when an old man in his sixties and a little boy of seven or eight years old came from the mountain village path. Zhan Wuxian went over and asked: "Uncle, our family passed by here to find some food, but no one responded to open the door, I don't know why?" ”

The old man glanced at Zhan Wuxian and said, "You still talk in a crepe." Outsiders, the whole village went to the back mountain to dig treasures, and only at night did people return to the village. ”

Zhan Wuxian smiled awkwardly and asked, "What kind of treasure is it, the whole village is going to go?" ”

The old man replied: "Three years ago, a fiery stone fell from the sky and hit the mountain dozens of miles away. The next day people went to look and found a deep and large hole in the mountain, and from time to time it spewed fire, like a melting pot. It took more than a year for the fire to go out. After more than a year, there was no longer any heat coming out of the cave, so we launched Li Daring, the most daring person in the village, to see what was going on. This Li Daring has been gone for three days, and there is no news, and the people in the village say that Li Daring is more auspicious and less auspicious, and he will definitely die. Everyone is leaving, I said: I have waited for three days, it doesn't hurt to wait for one more day, if the bold child still doesn't come out, everyone will pool the money to take care of his wife for him. On the fourth day, when the sun set, everyone was almost gone, and Li Daring crawled out of the hole. As soon as Li Daring came out, he shouted excitedly: There is a treasure in the hole, there is a treasure in the hole, and there is a big round ball on the façade, which is shining with gold, like gold. The ball was so huge that he couldn't drag it alone, so the village chief called on everyone to find tools and dig a ditch in the hole so that the ball could come out on its own. The whole village dug for half a year, and finally pulled the big round ball out of the hole. If the big ball is gold, it will definitely be bought at a good price, and the whole village will have a good life. I won't tell you, I'm going to take my grandson to see it soon. After speaking, the grandson complained on his back: "Just you sleep lazy!" ”

Although Zhan Wuxian thought it was funny, he couldn't help but be a little curious. I remember that Zhan Chi was born three years ago, and there were meteors in the sky, thinking that the big round ball in the old man's mouth was also a flying stone outside the sky, and he wanted to see it, so he told Mo Wuya what he thought, and Mo Wuya did not object, so the two took Zhan Chi and the little white ape to the back mountain.

When I came to the back mountain, I saw hundreds of people in the whole village gathered outside a big cave, the mountain stone at the entrance of the cave was brownish-red, and the surrounding vegetation did not grow. More than a dozen strong men are pulling out vigorously with four bowls of thick hemp rope on their shoulders, and dozens of young villagers on both sides are neatly holding trumpets under the leadership of two old men, replacing those strong men who are carrying hemp ropes on their shoulders at any time. About a stick of incense time, the hemp rope has come to an end, the cave is quiet, I heard the mouth of the cave rumbling sound, a piece of height and breadth of two feet, the whole body is black, the surface of the pimple, and the big round stone with golden light inside rolls out, crashes into the pre-dug pit not far ahead.

When the people of the village gathered around to see it, they all exclaimed that it was a strange stone, and clamored to cut it open to see if it was gold or jade. At this time, a few people had already called for tools to cut the stone, and one of them quickly retracted as soon as his hand touched the surface of the stone, and the others were busy asking what was going on. The man said, "It's not hot, but it's cold, colder than ice." Another man did not believe it and said, "I have also touched this stone in the cave, and it is very warm, where is it like an ice cube?" The man from before said, "If you don't believe it, come and touch it." The latter said: "Touch it." As he spoke, he walked over and placed his right hand on the boulder. Due to the excessive force, the hand just put it up, and it was really cold, and it was difficult for the man to withdraw again, only to see the man's expression strange, his left hand held the wrist of his right hand, and one foot was pressed on the boulder, and he pulled it out vigorously. When the villagers saw this, they laughed and mocked the man's pretentious gesture, and then the people felt that something was wrong, and they came forward to save him, but it was too late, and one of the man's hands and feet was already glued to the boulder. Then an old man brought a basin of water and fell down on the man's hands and feet, saying that it was strange that the stone became warm when it met the water, and the man was able to get out of danger.

Zhan Wuxian looked up at the sun in the sky, hanging high in the air, illuminating the earth, although it was late spring, but also the heat wave hit people, the villagers who pulled the rope just now were sweating profusely, and had already taken off their shirts. In this sunny world, this stone can emit cold air, but why does it become warm when it encounters the spring water, and it is very strange to show that Zhan Wuxian is very strange. He walked over and put his hand lightly on the stone, and it was cold, and then he poured a little spring water, and the place where the spring water flowed became warm again. Zhan Wuxian couldn't guess what was going on, he looked at the stone, the outer skin was black like crystal, and there was a thing wrapped inside, faintly glowing, like the Milky Way stars in the dark night firmament, the cold air was likely to be emitted by the thing that emitted light inside, if it wasn't for the black stone outside, the extremely cold air of the thing would be even more pressing.

At this time, a big man said: "Sir, do you see any doorway?" I'm going to hammer it down. Zhan walked away with an apologetic smile. The big man held a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other, and chiseled towards the big stone, and there was not even a white spot after a few hammers. Another big man sneered: "Your hammer is too small, look at my sledgehammer." After saying that, he picked up the sledgehammer with both hands and smashed it, and he heard the loud noise of his life, and the sledgehammer was bounced away without a trace, and the strong man's mouth was numb, and he was ejected a foot away, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and it took a while to get up. The villagers laughed again.

"Who is so bold as to dare to smash our county Lord Yin." When the villagers looked back, they saw a man carrying a hammer with a bent head, which was the one that the big man had bounced off just now. Behind him appeared a dozen people, one of them wearing an official uniform, but the official hat was crooked, and his hair was scattered, and the others were also dressed as errand soldiers, surrounding the man.

When the people of the village saw it, they all prostrated on the ground: "Meet the county lord Yin." ”

It turned out that the person with the crooked official hat was the county Yin here. Yin Jianzhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya in that county were still standing, and they were dressed in special clothes, with a lofty atmosphere, and a white ape was followed by them, so they knew that they were not locals, and they were probably Jianghu rangers, which were not easy to provoke. The county Yin looked at it again, and there were two villagers in coarse cloth clothes standing, and said in his heart: I can't afford to provoke those Jianghu rangers, you two poor people still dare to be so bold that you don't kneel when you see this official. Then he said angrily: "What a boldness, you two dare to smash your official with a sledgehammer, and you still don't kneel." ”

"Bold!" One of them said angrily, "Do you know who you're talking to? "I was about to go up to hit the county Yin, but was stopped by the person next to me. It turned out that these two people in coarse cloth clothes were King Chu Ling and Shen Hai, and when the two of them came out, they deliberately changed into villager clothes and dressed up as nearby villagers, so as not to be too eye-catching and reveal their identities.

The county Yin was shocked at first, no one in this county dared to shout at him so angrily. When he came back to his senses, he said angrily: "Dare to disrupt the people, dare to shout angrily at this official, come, arrest these two people for me." Then four officers drew their swords.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Wuxian stood up and said, "I threw the sledgehammer, regardless of these two." ”

"What, nosy? The official doesn't care about you, and if you come out by yourself, then don't blame the official for being polite. Clean up this nosy guy for me. ”

Then a few crisp sounds were heard, and the sword in the hands of the four officers in the past had been broken in two, and the tips of two of the swords were stuck in the tips of the county Yin's shoes. The county Yin was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, he couldn't retreat or advance, and he only complained bitterly in his heart: "The Jianghu rangers are not easy to mess with." ”

"Do you believe it this time, am I being nosy?"

"I believe it, I believe it, thank you for your mercy." The county Yin trembled, and said to the four errand officers who were in a daze beside him: "Don't pull it out quickly." The four of them came to their senses and hurriedly drew the tip of their swords, but they couldn't pull it out even with all their might. In desperation, the county Yin had no choice but to withdraw his feet and leave his shoes in place.

"This hero, I know you are strong in martial arts." The county Yin said barefoot: "But you are not from this county after all, and this official has to deal with some affairs of this county, I hope you don't interfere." ”

"As long as you don't deceive the people, I won't ask."

"You talk counts?"

"Ranger, he will believe his word."

"That's good." The county Yin turned around and smiled secretly, and said to the villagers: "Everyone get up, this official has something to announce, the new king of my Great Chu Kingdom is about to ascend the throne, and the flying stone you dug up will be nationalized from now on and dedicated to the king." ”

When Shen Hai heard this, he was about to get angry, and wanted to say that the king of Chu was in front of him, but he was stopped by King Chu Ling.

Hearing this, Mo Wuya couldn't look at it, and said: "If you say confiscation, it will be confiscated, how can there be such a truth in the world." The stone was found by the villagers, and it was up to them to decide what to do with it. When the county Yin heard this, he was furious in his heart, I am the biggest in this county, and no one has dared to talk back to me, and no matter what the surname is Ranger, he said angrily: "Bold, I see that you are foreigners, and you don't have the same knowledge as you." Within the jurisdiction of this county, I will have the final say, besides, the county Yin will not take them in vain, and the county Yin will still give it for hard work. You foreigner don't meddle in your affairs, otherwise the official will not be polite. Before he finished speaking, he felt that the white light in front of him flashed, and with a "snap", the left side of the county Yin's face felt hot, and immediately swollen a big bag, only to hurt the county Yin's screaming: "Who, who hit me." He looked around, and no one moved, only the white ape, which was bouncing and whining with joy. The county Yin was furious: "Come on, catch me all, and no one is allowed to leave, especially the white-haired monkey." A white light flashed again, only to hear the sound of "popping ......" one after another. Looking at the county Yin and the other servants, everyone's faces were red and swollen with a big bag on one side, especially the county Yin, the faces on both sides were even more swollen, and they were simply unrecognizable. Mo Wuya snickered and said to the little white ape: "Your body is getting faster and faster, like a shirt, your temper is like me." ”

An errand officer said to the county Yin: "I think these two people know how to do evil arts, it's better not to provoke them, let's go back first, and when those two people are gone, we will come back and ask for stones." The county Yin didn't listen to him, covered his face and said: "I know that the two of you are masters outside the world, but no matter who you are, you have to be reasonable." This gem was found in this county, and the lady just said that what to do with this gem should be decided by the villagers who discovered the gem, right? ”

Mo Wuya asked Zhan Wuxian in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "What the county Yin just said is also reasonable, the villagers said that this gem should be dealt with as it is." ”

When the county Yin heard this, he was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Fellow villagers, you are all the people of the Chu State, and now that the new king of the Chu State has ascended the throne, can we not offer a generous gift to the new king?" The pearl treasure is too cheesy, but this gem that flew from the sky was given to us by heaven, and it was given to my king first. But don't worry, the county government will not take it in vain, and the county government will give you ten gold points, which can be regarded as hard work for everyone. ”

No one in the villagers spoke.

"Twenty gold?" Still no one spoke.

"Thirty gold?" Still no one spoke.

"Forty gold?" Still no one spoke.

"Fifty gold, how about it, it's a lot. Will you not offer a gift to the new king? County Yin finally said.

At this time, an old man with silver hair and white beard stood up and said, "We are willing to offer this extraterrestrial gem to the new king." As soon as the old man spoke, the villagers also said that they were willing, and this old man was the patriarch of the largest family in the village.

On the way back to the county government, the officer asked the county Yin: "Lord County Yin, do we have fifty gold in the county government treasury?" The county Yin slapped the officer on the head and scolded: "The county government doesn't have it, you pay for it for me yourself." County Yin cried with a sad face and secretly looked at Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya not far away: "This time I have to pay out of my pocket." ”
