Leng Yi called the deputy head catcher of the Yamen of the Bazhou Governor to ask, and learned that this Lotus Mountain was just outside the eastern city, and it could be seen from a distance when he looked up in the city. The mountain is not high, there is a cliff on the top of the mountain, and I don't know what age someone carved a huge lotus flower on the boulder above, so it is named.

Leng Yi came to the scholar's house in a sedan chair. There are still screams coming from inside, and it seems that Yin Vulture is not giving up, and is still torturing the scholar's family.

Leng Yi frowned, called Cheng Luojie out, and said, "The stars are shining tonight, are you interested in going out of the city?" ”

"Out of town?" Cheng Luojie was a little stunned, "It's going to be dark soon!" Still out of town? ”

"Yes, climb the mountain and watch the fall! I haven't seen the sun for a month, don't you want me to think about it! To go or not to go? ”

Cheng Luojie smiled and said, "Go!" Of course go! At the ends of the earth, wherever you go, I will follow! ”

"Okay, go find a hoe and a wood knife, let's go."

"Hoes, knives? Why do you want this? ”

"Mountain people have their own use!"

Cheng Luojie glanced at him, turned around, and after a while, he came over with a hoe and a firewood knife.

Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie carried hoes and firewood knives and went out of the city to Lotus Mountain.

The mountain was not steep, and the two climbed it very quickly, and when the sun set on the side of the mountain and the sky was full of colors, they came to the top of the mountain.

In the afterglow of the sun, I could see the lotus carved on the cliff in the distance. It's just that the time is long, and the paint on it has long been mottled and peeled off, and the lotus has lost its luster.

The cliff was two or three miles away from the path up the mountain. There was no way to get there, only to make a way through thorns and weeds.

When they reached the bottom of the cliff, the afterglow of the sun was only a touch of the sky.

Leng Yi looked at it, the pine trees in the east were sparsely pulled, counting from the lotus stone, to the third tree, and then ten steps to the west, it was a vacant land, Leng Yi picked up the hoe and began to dig up.

Cheng Luojie was a little stunned and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Leng Yi raised his head and smiled, "You'll know in a while!" ”

Leng Yi dug the ground very quickly, and after a while, he dug a big hole.

Suddenly, his hoe thumped, as if digging into something hard. He quickly threw down his hoe and began to plank by hand. I felt a boxy iron box underneath. Digging open the dirt on both sides, it turned out to be an iron box, and I took it out and put it on the ground.

Cheng Luojie smiled in surprise: "Oh, it turns out that there is something hidden here?" Did you hide it? What is it? ”

Leng Yi didn't speak, broke the button on the top of the box, opened the lid, and there was a small brocade box inside, with goose yellow velvet edges, carved with exquisite dragons!

Cheng Luojie suddenly stopped laughing, she screamed, squatted down, carefully picked up the brocade box, held down the machine spring, and listened to the sound of the horn, the brocade box opened, and on the goose-yellow substrate inside, there was a warm jade seal upright! The upper part of the seal is engraved with a mighty dragon!

"Oh my mother!" Cheng Luojie was so excited that her hands were trembling, for fear that she would not be able to hold it and the thing would fall to the ground. Suo sat on the grass with a buttocks, put the brocade box in his arms, and then carefully took out the seal in the brocade box, picked it up, opened it, and saw that it was engraved with several seal characters of "The Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty".

"That's right! That's it! Found one! That's great! Oh my mother! Cheng Luojie was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

Leng Yi didn't even ask what kind of seal it was, but said, "That's right, okay, go back!" It's getting dark! "Anyway, pick up the hoe and leave.

"Wait!" Cheng Luojie exclaimed, "How do you know that the treasure is here?" ”

"Go back and say no?"

"No! It's so important, you have to tell me right away! Cheng Luojie was in a hurry and grabbed him and didn't let him go.

Leng Yi had no choice but to put down the hoe, took out the insole from his arms and handed it to her: "Well, my maid found that there was a mezzanine in a thumb-sized place on the front of this insoles, and after picking it up, there was a map inside." This is it. ”

Leng Yi handed the white silk map to Cheng Luojie. Cheng Luojie looked at it, and shouted again: "Dig!" Keep digging! There are two more things, maybe they are here! ”

Cheng Luojie put the brocade box and map into her arms, picked up the hoe, and began to dig.

Leng Yi didn't persuade him, he picked up a firewood knife, chose a pine tree, cut some pine trees with grease, lit a fire, and made a torch to illuminate Cheng Luojie next to him.

At this time, it was already completely dark, and all kinds of unknown animals in the mountains and forests began to cry. Cheng Luojie is also a master of art and bold, and she doesn't care about these, she digs hard.

For an hour she dug around the tree, digging all around, and found nothing but stones, large and small.

Cheng Luojie finally gave up, she was so tired that her whole body was about to fall apart, threw away the hoe, sat on the grass with her ass, panting heavily. Looking at Leng Yi, he looked so tidy, and said angrily: "Why don't you help me?" ”

"What can I do for you if it's useless?"

"If you don't dig it, how do you know it's useless?"

"You said it yourself, those three are the most precious treasures, at least I know that Ke Qiang and Dong Ze, a eunuch and a guard, have stolen these royal treasures. Now, that Ke Qiang asked Dong Ze to hand over the things to his first love for safekeeping, could he himself be empty-handed? Besides, how can such three treasures be hidden in the same place and let people serve them in one pot? Therefore, there is only this one here, and there will be no other treasures, and digging is also in vain. ”

Cheng Luojie thought about it, and yes, it seems that she didn't use her brains, and she was tired in vain. puffed up and said, "Since you know, why don't you dissuade me?" ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Can I persuade you?" You can only let the facts educate you! ”

Cheng Luojie thought to herself, if he dissuaded her, she would not listen, and she had to dig it out. He snorted in his nostrils, took out the seal from his arms, looked at it over and over for a while, and beckoned to Leng Yi: "Come here!" ”

Leng Yi put the torch in his hand on the ground and walked to sit down next to her.

Cheng Luojie handed him the seal: "Oh, open your eyes!" ”

Leng Yi took it, turned it over, and looked at it in the light of the torch, only to see that the seal was engraved with the big characters of "The Treasure of the Great Song Dynasty", and there were traces of vermilion ink.

It turned out to be a jade seal!

Leng Yi returned the jade seal to Cheng Luojie and didn't speak.

Cheng Luojie was a little strange and asked, "Why don't you ask what this is?" ”

"I don't want to know."

"Why?"

"The more you know about the royal family, the more unreliable your head becomes."

Cheng Luojie giggled: "Look at what you said, it's just the two of us here, what's the matter." I'll tell you! This jade seal is actually not a real heirloom jade seal. The real heirloom jade seal is carved by skilled craftsmen with the Heshi Bi of Qin Shi Huang, and the inscription is the bird and insect seal written by the prime minister Li Si himself. It is written with the words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity"! Later, the dynasty changed, and the jade seal of the country was lost several times under the military disaster, and it was lost and recovered. When the late Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Congke and the country broke, he held this heirloom jade seal in his arms in the Xuanwu Tower, and since then, this heirloom jade seal has disappeared. After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu re-carved and produced the heirloom jade seal of this 'Great Song Dynasty Treasure', which has been passed down from generation to generation as the national treasure of our Great Song Dynasty. However, on the night of Emperor Taizu's death, Dong Ze, the eunuch of Siyin, actually stole the jade seal of this heirloom country! Now, you've helped you get it back, and you say, what a credit you've made! ”

After that, Cheng Luojie couldn't help hugging Leng Yi and kissed him.

Leng Yi said: "It turns out that you suspected that what I had on me was this play?" It's nothing, isn't it just a seal, there are a lot of royal jade, it's lost, and then one side is carved, why bother to kill and whole people like this? ”

Cheng Luojie's eyes widened, and she said, "Don't underestimate this heirloom jade seal!" Whoever has it, who is the true dragon son who truly bears the mandate of heaven! ”

"Come on, don't be naïve. Might is truth! In all dynasties, which one became the emperor by passing on the jade seal? Or power from the barrel of a gun! ”

Cheng Luojie naturally didn't understand his modern vocabulary, but when he refuted it, she was naturally not convinced, and slapped him lightly, saying, "You don't know the inside story!" Our Great Song Dynasty is different from other dynasties now! Other dynasties can also be emperors if they don't have the jade seal of the country, but the emperor of our Great Song Dynasty is not good if he doesn't have the jade seal! ”

"Why?"

"Because ......" Cheng Luojie glanced left and right, lowered her voice, and said, "I'm telling you, you are not allowed to tell others!" ”

"I'm still not at ease?"

Cheng Luojie put her red lips to his ear and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's really that this matter is too important...... ”

"Then don't talk about it! I want to live a few more years! ”

Cheng Luojie slapped him again and said, "You idiot! Empress Kaibao promoted you to make a general judgment and asked you to be responsible for visiting these three treasures, and you have already been involved, and now you have found this heirloom jade seal, do you still want to stay out of the matter? What are your dreams? ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you notify me and develop me in?" ”

Cheng Luojie sneered and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not as serious as you think." On the contrary, as long as you do a good job, isn't it just to wait for you? ”

"I don't want to fly, I just want to be safe. Otherwise, if you tell Empress Kaibao, just say that you found this heirloom jade seal, and it has nothing to do with me, don't involve me, okay? ”

"It's useless! The current emperor already knows that you are helping Empress Kaibao find these three treasures, you are already Empress Kaibao's person, and you have only one way to go to the end! There is no way back, what I said is true. ”

Leng Yi was taken aback and said, "How could the emperor know about me?" ”

"Yin Vulture's head catcher is the person sent by the emperor!"
