"Excuse me, this is Liu Yuan's work?" Qi Kun asked.

Niu Xiuwen turned to the front of the sculpture with a puzzled face, carefully looked at the nameplate below, and read:

"Songshan Niu Gao Temple, its statue is molded from Liu Luan... Statue of Zhengfeng. ”

"Back to this hero, it's Liu Luan written on it?" Xiuwen said to Qi Kun.

Qi Kun smiled:

"Exactly, exactly, Liu Luan is Liu Yuan, who was once named a doctor by Kublai Khan, and was the most famous sculptor and painter of the Yuan Dynasty. It's a great honor to see such a masterpiece of his today! “

"I see, the people in our village have guarded this ancestral statue for generations, but I really don't know that it is so precious. Thanks to the heroes for their teachings, they were taught, they were taught. ”

Xiu Wen and Xiu Wu sighed.

"Well, our Ziwei envoys, know astronomy, geography, erudition, and there is nothing we don't know about the things of the world."

Lin Jiao would not let go of this good opportunity to praise Qi Kun again, she proudly introduced.

Qi Kun was embarrassed to be said, looked at everyone and smiled, and then glanced at Lin Jiao, who already understood.

She took out a small packet of pills from her body and handed it to Xue'er, and said:

"You go with Seiya to see that shopkeeper, Niu Xiaotian, and let him take this pill, and he will be cured in a few days."

Xue'er and Seiya took the order and followed Niu Xiuwu out of the ancestral hall.

Xiuwen asked Qi Kun and Linjiao to enter the ancestral hall and sit down, and instructed the steward to serve tea and fruit, and after the guest and host sat down, Xiuwen asked:

"Can you tell me the names of the two heroes? This visit to Songshan, what can we do to help? ”

Qi Kun turned his head to look at Lin Jiao, and then said slowly:

"May I ask if the village chief is a descendant of Niu Da? We have some things that we must say to the descendants of Niu Tong and Niu Da. ”

"Xiuwen's ancestor is indeed the great general Niu Tong, and the descendant of the second general Niu Da is the previous village chief, called Niu Jizu, that is, the father of the previous big man Niu Neng.

The village chief of Niujia Village is held by two families in rotation for a term of ten years, and the candidates for village head are all selected from among the young and strong men in the village who are 35 to 40 years old. ”

Qi Kun clasped his fists and saluted, and whispered to Xiuwen:

"Village chief, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, because what we are going to say is very important, so we can only ask others to wait and avoid it for the time being."

Xiu Wen waved his hand, and the two people in charge of the house hurriedly withdrew from the ancestral hall.

Only then did Qi Kun explain the identities and intentions of the two to Niu Xiuwen in detail. Xiuwen only heard tears in his eyes, and said excitedly:

"It's been a hundred years, and I've finally looked forward to you, what a tragic price my ancestor of the Niu family paid to protect this secret! Many people gave their lives as a result. ”

Lin Jiao also shed tears on her clothes when she heard this, she sighed and comforted:

"Brother Niu, please don't be too sad, I can fully understand your difficulties. When I was not yet one year old, in order to protect the secret of the Yuejia family, my parents and more than 100 people in Yuejiazhuang were all slaughtered overnight, and my adoptive father, the owner of Caojiabao, rescued me back and raised me. Every time I think about it, I don't have a broken liver and intestines. ”

"Alas, Miss Yue, I'm sorry, it has aroused your sadness.

For a hundred years, major events in Niujia Village must be decided by the village committee and the elders, and the elders of the presbyterian council, that is, the previous village heads, are also members of the same body. ”

Niu Xiuwen said that, and ran out in a hurry.

Qi Kun was shocked by the management method of Niujia Village, and said to Lin Jiao, who was still a little sad:

"Don't say it, the management of this Niujia Village is still very democratic and scientific."

Lin Jiao wiped away her tears, nodded and responded:

"Yes, they're not easy. I really didn't expect that we would meet the descendants of the Niu family so coincidentally today, and I hope that the future will be smooth. ”

"Also, it's almost dusk now, do you say, are we still going to Shaolin tonight as planned? Or, let Seiya pick up his father and bring them to Niujia Village? ”

Lin Jiao raised her eyes and looked at Qi Kun.

Qi Kun pondered for a while and said:

"This time is a tight time, two days have passed in the fifth day, fortunately, we happened to meet the descendants of the Niu family today, and it is half the success. It's better to ask Seiya to rush to Shaolin overnight, and pick up the Lord of Cao Bao tomorrow to discuss the plan.

We are here tonight for the time being, to understand the situation clearly first, so that we can plan and arrange it later, what does Miss Linjiao think? ”

"Well, that's what I want, that's it."

Lin Jiao nodded one after another, expressing her approval.

At the door, Xiuwen's voice was heard:

"Hey, the third master walks slowly, don't be too anxious, don't fall, the girl of the Yue family will wait."

Lin Jiao and Qi Kun got up to welcome them out of the door, only to see Xiu Wen and the other three people hurriedly walking into the ancestral hall.

Xiuwen introduced them one by one to let everyone know, the village chiefs of the last two sessions were Niu Jizu and Niu Yifeng, and the oldest was the third master of the Niu family, he stepped forward and held Lin Jiao's hand tightly, and said tremblingly:

"Girl of the Yue family, I have been waiting for eighty-eight years, and finally let me wait for you, I can close my eyes."

Looking at the old man with tears in her eyes, Lin Jiao choked up, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only hold the trembling hands tightly and nod her head vigorously.

The people in the house, thinking of the agreement between Yue and Niu for nearly a hundred years, and thinking of the heroic stories of their ancestors who threw their heads and spilled their blood, couldn't help but be moved and sobbed. It took a long time to gradually calm down.

Xiuwen asked everyone to sit down one by one, and then explained the intentions of Qi Kun and Lin Jiao in detail.

The third master took the lead in making a statement:

"I have nothing to say, guarding the treasure in Songshan is the responsibility and mission that my Niu family is a brother of the Niu family, and it should be completed from generation to generation. The last instruction of the ancestors is to wait for the arrival of the descendants of the Yue family and the brothers of the first brother to open the treasure. Besides, it is to take out flood control and disaster relief, save the people from fire and water, there is nothing to say, nothing to say. ”

Niu Xiuwen and two other previous village chiefs also agreed.

"Okay, you go back and get the treasure, and we'll make a plan today."

The third master was more anxious than anyone else, and said with a frown full of silver beards.

Xiu Wen and the two old village chiefs hurriedly returned home to get three black wooden boxes. When you open it, you will find a picture, a secret key, and a secret letter that has not yet been opened.

It turned out that when General Niu Da was alive, in order to fulfill his promise to Marshal Yue, in order to carry forward and inherit the great cause of unity, in order to ensure that the treasure would not be obtained by bad people or villains, and at the same time, in order to maintain the safety and stability and harmony of the entire family, he had already arranged everything.

He handed over the treasure map and the secret key to Niu Tong's son and his own son respectively, and wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to the village chief at the time. He also instructed the descendants of the Niu family to continue the rotation system of the head of Niujia Village, as well as the powers and responsibilities of the presbyterian council. Wait for the call of the descendants of the Yue family and the one brother, and then you can open the secret letter and treasure.

It is precisely because of Niu Da's careful arrangement during his lifetime that the treasures of Songshan have been preserved intact for a hundred years.

Qi Kun and Lin Jiao sighed with great reverence, the loyalty, bravery and strategy of Marshal Yue and the generals of the Yue family were really admirable.

The third master asked Xiuwen to open the secret letter that had been sealed for a hundred years, and read it to everyone in public.

The letter roughly described the ambition of Marshal Yue and the integrated organization, as well as the purpose of the treasure and the responsibilities and missions of the Niu family. It also describes in detail how to use the treasure map and key, and how to properly open the treasure trap message.

The third master of the Niu family took out a flag from the cabinet and hung it on the wall, then raised his right hand high, and the five people in the room also raised their arms and swore an oath: I am a brother xxx, swear to defend and keep the secrets here, and never spread the ......"

Everyone was discussing excitedly, and Niu Xiuwu led Feng Qingyun and Xue'er to knock on the door and came back.

After Lin Jiao introduced to everyone, she said to the two:

"Seiya and Xue'er, it's hard for you to rush to Shaolin overnight tonight, and when you see the castle owner, you will say that I and Ziwei will wait for them in Niujia Village, and lead the castle lord and them to come over as soon as possible tomorrow. The stakes are high and must not be delayed. ”

The two took the order and left, and Xiuwen asked Xiu Wu to hurry up and prepare some dry food for the two to bring. In addition, prepare a few more rooms for Qi Kun, Lin Jiao and the castle lord to use.

Lin Jiao thanked Xiuwen and said:

"Today, for all of us, it is an extraordinary day, we are all shouldering the responsibility and mission inherited from our ancestors, what should we do next, please Ziwei envoy to tell you about it.

Qi Kun stood up, saluted everyone, and then talked about the importance of finding and opening the treasure, as well as the historical mission of carrying forward the great cause of inheritance and unity, reviving China, and unifying the world. Everyone listened with enthusiasm and excitement.

Xiu Wen got up, stepped forward and said loudly:

"Back to Ziwei Envoy, my Niujia Village must follow Ziwei Envoy and the Yuejia girl closely to carry out the great cause of national rejuvenation to the end. At present, there are six people in our Niujia Village who have joined the whole, and in addition to the four of us, there are two young candidates for village head, all of whom have also practiced good martial arts. Oh, of course, in front of the two of you, that's not worth mentioning. ”

"And me, don't look down on this almost ninety-year-old guy, although the two sons are no longer there, but in this Songshan Dozens of miles, when it comes to my name, which one disrespects me..."

The third master of the Niu family also stood up and said excitedly.

"Hehe, the third master of our Niu family, is a well-known miracle doctor who has cured countless incurable diseases. Back then, the palace asked him to go to see the emperor, but he's stunned. ”

Niu Jizu smiled and continued.

Before I knew it, it was the third watch, and Xiuwen said to everyone:

"Ziwei and the girl of the Yue family have been tired for a day today, and now it is getting late, please rest early, and we will discuss it tomorrow."

Xiuwen accompanied Qi Kun and Lin Jiao to the guest room, asked people to prepare tea and hot water, and left.

Putting down her luggage, Lin Jiao asked:

"Are you tired? It's been a pretty good day, a little excited, and it's hard to fall asleep for a while, so why don't we take a walk around the neighborhood? ”

"Well, okay, I see that Miss Linjiao is in a really good mood today, let's go, go out with you to see the night view of Songshan."
