Chapter 1170: The Fourth Stone
The light of the torches flickered, and the atmosphere in the stone chamber was very strange, and no matter who it was, it would not feel very comfortable to talk among the white bones.
"You said that in addition to you and Yao Weng, there are two other people who survived?" Chu Huan stared at Xin Guiyuan's eyes, "How did these two become traitors?" ”
"After that infighting, we have very few people left, and the food problem has been temporarily resolved." Xin Guiyuan said slowly: "At that time, I was already seriously injured, and Yao Weng needed to take care of the king and help me heal my injuries, but we couldn't sit still here. ”
Ruri asked, "You continue to look for the exit?" ”
Xin Guiyuan nodded and said, "Exactly, there was a shortage of manpower at that time, so I could only let those two traitors find an exit." The two of them were ostensibly loyal to the king, but at that time, we didn't expect that they had harbored evil intentions at that time. Time has passed, and hundreds of people have found the exit at the beginning, but there is no gain, and it is difficult for us to gain anything from just the two of them...... These two people have also been pretending, and it seems that they really haven't found anything. ”
Chu Huan raised his eyebrows, "So, the two of them actually found an exit?" ”
"Not bad." Xin Guiyuan said hatefully: "We only learned later that they were extremely lucky, and they actually found an exit, which is also the only exit......!" ”
"Where's the exit?" Chu Huan couldn't help but ask.
Xin Guiyuan smiled and asked rhetorically, "You want to know?" Shaking his head, he said: "I can't tell you now, when you listen to everything I say, then you can choose for yourself, whether you want to know where the exit is." ”
Liuli frowned and asked, "Why did the two of them deceive you?" Now that I've found an exit, why don't I say it to you? ”
"As I said, those two traitors harbor evil intentions." Xin Guiyuan clenched his fists and his bones rattled, "They have already planned and are ready to surrender to the Qin people." ”
"Surrender?"
Xin Guiyuan sneered: "Maybe in their opinion, there is no hope for Xichang to restore the country, and they can only continue to be prosperous and rich only if they take refuge in the Qin people......!" ”
Liuli said: "If they really take refuge in the Qin State, as long as they leave here and tell the Qin State where the King of Xichang is, they will be able to make great contributions, and the glory and wealth will naturally be at their fingertips." ”
"That's what they really think, betraying the king in exchange for glory and wealth." Xin Guiyuan said coldly: "But they still have another thing on their minds, since they have taken refuge in the Qin State, they naturally want to offer a great gift to the Qin State...... ”
Chu Huan touched his chin and said, "If you want to offer a big gift, the best gift should be the head of King Xichang." ”
"They have the heart, but they don't have the guts." Xin Guiyuan said: "The king is both civil and military, although his body is weak, they don't dare to act rashly. ”
Liuliqi said: "In this case, what kind of gifts are they going to give to the Qin State?" ”
Xin Guiyuan didn't speak, but stretched out a hand, and lit up the palm in front of the two of them, and in his palm, I don't know when there was an extra stone.
Chu Huan saw the stone in Xin Guiyuan's palm, his pupils contracted, and although he wanted to hide his emotions, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching twice.
If he was not mistaken, it was the fourth stone he saw.
There are many stones in the world, rocks, ores, jade, marble, ......, but only this kind of stone in front of him, Chu Huan still remembers it and can recognize it at a glance.
Perhaps even today, he can't tell if it's a stone or not.
The red stone obtained from Lin Dai'er, the white stone of Xuanyuan Shao, the green stone that the queen gave to King Qi but was transferred to Mo Lingshuang by King Qi, this stone in front of him, Chu Huan concluded at a glance that it was definitely from the same vein.
Ever since he got the red stone, every time he saw the same stone since then, Chu Huan was surprised.
He really couldn't imagine that Xin Guiyuan would come up with such a stone.
The shape and texture of this stone were almost exactly the same as the three stones that Chu Huan had seen before, but the only difference was the color, which was a stone that was blue all over.
The color is green and faint, and under the firelight, it glows with a faint sheen.
Liuli looked at Chu Huan, and seeing Chu Huan's strange expression, she couldn't help asking, "Gongfu has seen this kind of stone?" ”
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm just curious, is this what Xin Xiangguo said about the generous gift?" ”
Xin Guiyuan sneered: "In your eyes, is it just an inconspicuous stone?" ”
Chu Huan sighed: "I didn't say that he was inconspicuous, but I was very curious, is this stone more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry?" Those two traitors defected to the Qin State, if they just went with this stone, they were not afraid that they would be executed by the Qin State as a joke? ”
Xin Guiyuan suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was weird, Chu Huan only felt goosebumps when he heard the strange laughter, but he was looking forward to it in his heart, this time he had already understood the origin of the peacock diagram, solved a mystery in his heart, and only hoped to know the secret of this stone from Xin Guiyuan's mouth.
He didn't know how many of these stones there were, but the three stones he had been in before were not ordinary people.
Although the red stone was obtained from Lin Dai'er, the real holder was Lin Qingyuan, the original Tianbao general, and Xuanyuan Shao, the owner of the white stone, was a first-class military general in the empire.
Even if it is a green stone, the bearer is also the queen.
Now that the cyan stone has appeared in the hands of the black-clothed god in Xichang Kingdom, it naturally makes Chu Huan want to know what the reason is for this.
After hearing Xin Guiyuan laugh, he snorted coldly and said, "With the naked eye, mortals naturally can't see the mystery of this piece of Buddha jade." ”
"Buddha jade?" Chu Huan was stunned, but his expression was calm, "It turns out that it's called Buddha Jade?" It really doesn't look like a piece of jade. ”
"This is Buddha jade, of course it is not comparable to ordinary ordinary jade." Xin Guiyuan said lightly.
Liuli moved the lotus step lightly, took a step forward, looked at the cyan Buddha jade, and said strangely: "Prime Minister Xin, you just said that those two traitors want to pay tribute to the Qin State, and what they are talking about is this piece of Buddha jade?" ”
"Not one, but six!" Xin Guiyuan said calmly: "This is just one of them, and the other five pieces are not in my hands now." ”
Chu Huan thought to himself, it turned out that there were six pieces of this kind of stone, including this cyan Buddha jade, he had already seen four of them, and the other two were unknown.
Liuli wondered, "So where are the other five?" ”
"That's what I want to find." Xin Guiyuan sighed: "Back then, the six pieces of Buddha jade were all in the hands of the king, and they were rare treasures that the king regarded as his life...... It is also a treasure given to the king by Master Zhu Luoyan of that year, the king is the first monarch to take refuge in the heart of the sect, and the heart sect attaches great importance to the king, so he specially gave six pieces of Buddha jade. ”
Liuli asked, "In this way, did those two traitors want to get these six pieces of Buddha jade into their hands and then give them to the Qin State?" ”
"Exactly." Xin Guiyuan nodded and said: "They are sanctimonious and loyal, not only me, but even the king is deceived by their falsehood, thinking that they are loyal ministers ......!" ”
"What happened?" Ruri asked, frowning.
Xin Guiyuan said angrily: "Until one day, the king found that six pieces of Buddha jade suddenly disappeared, and in a big shock, he found that the two traitors were also gone, we searched every corner in this grotto, and found no trace of them, at that time we finally understood that the two thieves had stolen the Buddha jade and left the grotto." ”
"Steal the Buddha jade and present it to the Qin State as a gift, seeking the glory and wealth of high-ranking officials." Chu Huan sighed lightly: "Could it be that they don't know that the Great Qin Iron Hoof conquered the world, and the treasures they obtained were as many as cattle hairs, and how could just six pieces of Buddha jade bring them glory and wealth." ”
He seemed indifferent, but he had other thoughts in his heart, and he just wanted to use this to provoke Xin Guiyuan's words.
He faintly felt that these six pieces of Buddha jade were by no means just for fun, and there seemed to be a great mystery in them.
Xin Guiyuan also smiled indifferently and said: "Anyway, the six pieces of Buddha jade were taken away by them, and the king could give up everything, but he couldn't do without those six pieces of Buddha jade, because ...... For the king, without the Buddha Jade, he would wait for ...... without it! After a pause, he finally said: "There is no place to be buried!" ”
Chu Huan and Liuli glanced at each other, and they both felt strange, Liuli had already asked, "Why did Prime Minister Xin say that?" What does the six pieces of Buddha jade have to do with the burial place of King Xichang? ”
"Buddha Cave!" Chu Huan suddenly thought of something, and immediately said, "Prime Minister Xin seems to have mentioned the Buddha cave just now. ”
Xin Guiyuan nodded and said, "Not bad." Wei Yi pondered, and then said, "Do you know what the greatest wish of the disciples of the Heart Sect is?" ”
Chu Huan and Liuli didn't speak, and Xin Guiyuan had already continued: "For the believers of the Heart Sect, the greatest glory is to be able to be buried in the Buddha cave after death, because only by burying in the Buddha cave can the six reincarnations be avoided. ”
"Where are the caves?" Chu Huan asked.
Xin Guiyuan shook his head, "I don't know either...... Only the people of the Heart Sect know where the Buddha caves are. ”
"Do you mean to say that the wish of the king of Xichang is that he can be buried in the Buddha cave after death?"
Xin Guiyuan nodded, "So when the king was alive, he never thought of building a mausoleum for himself, he was the most powerful believer of Xinzong in Middle Earth, and he was also one of the earliest believers, Xinzong promised the king that when the king died, they would take the king away and bury him in the Buddha cave......!" ”
Chu Huan sighed: "But the country of Xichang is broken, and the king of Xichang is trapped here in the end, even if Xinzong wants to take him away, he can't find you." ”
Xin Guiyuan didn't speak, but he moved his feet and slowly walked towards the small stone room, Chu Huan's intentions for Xin Guiyuan were not clear, he was afraid that he would suddenly hurt Liuli, when Xin Guiyuan's footsteps moved, Chu Huan's feet had also moved, and he was protected by Liuli's side, and when he saw Xin Guiyuan walking into the small stone room, the two of them also walked in.
Xin Guiyuan walked to the edge of the jade bed, stared at the remains of King Xichang on the jade bed, and after a long time, he turned his back to Chu Huan and the others and said slowly: "If you want to enter the Buddha cave, there must be Buddha jade, without Buddha jade, the king will never be able to enter the Buddha cave!" ”
