Chapter 175: Ancient Famous Sword
"This ...... This...... What is it! Jia Hua's eyes widened, and his lips trembled a little.
Wang Xu was also silent for a long moment before swallowing his saliva and chattering: "If I didn't guess wrong, it should be the Night Pearl!" ”
"Such a big pearl of the night, my lord! Are you sure? Song Qian obviously couldn't believe that this was the truth.
Looking at the luminous beads with a diameter of one meter six or seven in the middle of the stone room, although Wang Xu himself could not believe it, he still nodded very firmly: "That's right, except for the Night Pearl, I don't know what other beads will shine in a dark place." ”
"How many five baht can such a large pearl of light be sold for?" Hearing this, Jia Hua couldn't help but ask.
"Priceless!" After slowly spitting out these two words, Wang Xu couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh: "This kind of thing is already a national treasure, and it is not a question of whether it is worth it or not." ”
After speaking, seeing that Song Qian and Jia Hua were still stunned, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, what do you see, which of you can move out of this thing?" Even if you move out, it won't be long before it will be confiscated by the imperial court, and it's useless! Let's go in and have a look, with this bead lighting, it's convenient to find things, I don't believe that this hole is to hide such a bead. ”
"Hmmm! Good! Hearing this, Song Qian and Jia Hua immediately nodded again and again.
Seeing the anxious appearance of the two, Wang Xu smiled, no longer hesitated, waved his hand at the two and crawled in, and did not dare to stand up until he completely entered the stone room. Just when the three of them wanted to step forward and touch the huge night pearl, Wang Xu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Before he could understand, he heard "Click! With a bang, Song Qian's foot sank again, obviously stepping on the mechanism again.
"Get out of the way!" Almost at the same time as the sound sounded, Wang Xu suddenly let out a loud shout, and his figure flew back. In fact, there is no need for him to say that Song Qian and Jia Hua have already jumped out violently.
With a piercing sound of "bell ......", I saw that a rectangular iron plate had appeared where the three of them were standing just now, and the whole body was covered with rusty barbs, which had been deeply inserted into the bottom of the cave at this moment.
Wang Xu, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the iron plate twenty or thirty centimeters away at his feet, only to feel that the soles of his feet were cold, and he couldn't help but retract his feet. Oh, my God! I almost lost my foot. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain: "Song Qian, what's going on with you today?" How do you feel that you are so unlucky, every time you step on the mechanism? ”
As soon as these words came out, Jia Hua, who was also scared half to death, also nodded again and again: "That's it, it's too scary." ”
Seeing that the two had been pointing the finger at him, Song Qian suddenly spread his hands aggrievedly: "What can I do?" But this agency always wants to find me, and I don't want to? ”
"Huh!" Seeing Song Qian's appearance, Wang Xu immediately laughed, and then shook his head and said, "Okay, don't be wronged." You'd better follow me and Jia Hua! Let's take a thorough look at the stone chamber. ”
After speaking, Wang Xu didn't waste any more time, picked up the harpoon thrown by Song Qian, and carefully probed around. In fact, it was really not Song Qian's bad luck, because there were organs in the three directions of the Night Pearl, but there were no in the rear. And Song Qian was anxious just now, so he was one step faster than Wang Xu and Jia Hua, so he was touched first.
Such a design also made Wang Xu sigh very much, it was too clever! When someone breaks in through many dangers and sees such a big night pearl, who still has the heart to observe the top of their heads, they are excited to see this pearl, and the result is, of course, to be hit immediately, and there is no place to bury them. However, when Wang Xu angrily led down all the three iron plates, he didn't find any other mechanisms, but found a stone door and a stone door disc in the left corner.
Originally, he thought that there was another secret room, so Wang Xu turned the stone plate out of curiosity. But as the stone gate slowly opened, the scene was unexpected, it was all dense vine grass, and through the gap in the vine grass, the blue sky and white clouds were clearly visible, and it was an empty field at all.
After the three of them looked at each other stupidly, Jia Hua immediately took the harpoon and picked the vine grass away, and went out to investigate. After lingering at the door for a moment, he ran back with an angry face: "It's so infuriating, since we have spent so much effort, this is the top of the mountain behind the cliff, that is, there is a pile of boulders. We are now in the cliff, go out and walk straight along the path on the right, and you can see the cliff rock where we dived. ”
As soon as the words "......" came out, Wang Xu and Song Qian were silent, not knowing what to say.
But it's useless to think so much now, and after confirming that this secret room is not dangerous, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then they each rummaged through the secret treasures around them. The reason why I had to rummage through it was because the secret room was full of wooden chests, large and small, and there were no treasures outside.
"Be careful when opening boxes!" After admonishing Song Qian and Jia Hua uneasily, Wang Xu walked directly to the most delicate box behind the Night Pearl. After a closer look, I realized that the cracks in the box were all sealed with wax. I think I should be worried about the rot of the items inside, but ordinary gold, silver and jade are not afraid of these, since they want to be sealed like this, it must be something else.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but be more curious. But just as he was carefully peeling off the solidified wax with his hands, he suddenly heard Jia Hua's angry complaint: "What is this, such a big box, with three layers inside and three layers on the outside, but there are only three bamboo slips inside, and they are all words that I can't understand." ”
"Me too." Song Qian, who took over the words, looked at the wooden board and copper sheet in his hand, but said with a wry smile: "You're okay, at least you use bamboo slips." The age on my side should be earlier, and it is still engraved on the copper plate, but the words on it should be Zhong Dingwen before the Qin Dynasty, that is, Jin Wen! ”
"Oh? Do you know Jin Wen too? Wang Xu suddenly asked with some curiosity.
Song Qian suddenly shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard a traveling scribe talk about it when I was a child." At that time, he stayed in our village and wrote some words that we couldn't read, so I asked him with the village children. I thought it was very similar to the kind he wrote at the time, so I guessed. ”
When Jia Hua heard this, he immediately complained: "What's the use of that, I don't know it, and it's a waste to take it!" ”
"Huh!" Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile, shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't worry, Xu Sheng knows Jin Wen." Since these scrolls can be hidden here, they must be useful, and I will find a box to put them all together. ”
"Hmm!" Seeing that Wang Xu said this, the two of them only nodded, and then opened the box and searched for it.
It's just that I don't know why, but the box Wang Xu is looking for is extremely difficult to open, seeing that Jia Hua and Song Qian are about to finish opening those boxes, there is still no progress on his side. Because the box was not only sealed with wax, but also nailed to it, it took the tip of the harpoon to pry it for a long time without opening it. In the end, Song Qian and Jia Hua came over to help, and it was a lot of tossing and prying, which completely destroyed the box.
When Wang Xu lifted the broken lid with some excitement, opened layer after layer of mattress and saw the contents inside, he was stunned. "Huh? How are two swords? ”
Song Qian and Jia Hua on the side also shook their heads with some disappointment, and Song Qian couldn't help but complain: "What a treasure trove this is, more than a dozen volumes of unintelligible texts, three boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and these two swords." I don't think it adds up to as valuable as the night pearl in the middle. ”
Hearing this, Jia Hua also nodded in agreement. However, Wang Xu didn't speak, grabbed a thicker handful, and slowly pulled it out. In an instant, the three of them only felt a stream of light passing through the sword body, and the reflected Night Pearl was faintly brighter than the Night Pearl itself.
"Good sword!" Wang Xu couldn't help but admire at once. However, Song Qian and Jia Hua didn't feel anything, although they also felt that this sword should be very good, but the two of them obviously had no interest in the sword.
After carefully examining the lines of the sword body, Wang Xu was even more fond of it. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's use a box to pack all those bamboo slips, copper sheets and so on!" I'm not interested in the gold and silver treasures, so you can take them if you want, and forget about them. As for this pearl of the night, it's best not to, first, it can't be moved, and second, it can't be kept when it is taken out. ”
Hearing this, Song Qian and Jia Hua also nodded and quickly cleaned up. The two of them also took some gold, silver and jewelry, but not much. According to Jia Hua, people should not be too greedy, otherwise they will cause trouble, and the people of the countryside, once they have a large amount of treasure, they will make people suspicious. Wang Xu agreed with these words very much, and paid more attention to him.
After packing up the modifications, the three of them carried the boxes through the stone door and left the secret room. Wang Xu looked back, but found that the stone door did not close automatically because he came out, and immediately waved his hand: "Wait, there should be a mechanism outside this stone gate, the original designer could not let this stone door be open forever, look for it!" It should be right next to it. With that, Wang Xu took the lead in turning around and looking for it.
However, the mechanism was not hard to find, and next to the stone gate, it was a raised rock, but it was covered with a lot of vine grass, so it was not visible. Wang Xu just twisted slightly, and the stone door slowly closed, but when Wang Xu tried to twist again, he found that he didn't move, as if he had suddenly turned into an ordinary stone. And at this time, he finally understood the intention of the builder of this treasure, there is only one entrance, and he must go through those complicated traps, but it is easy to get out. Presumably, it was for the sake of the owner of this treasure himself, after all, when he came in empty-handed, it was not difficult to avoid the mechanism, but if he wanted to go out with these treasures, it would be too difficult.
sighed at the builder's whimsy, Wang Xu didn't bother to pay attention to it, and rushed to the cliff rock with Song Qian and Jia Hua carrying the box. It didn't take long for them to suddenly appear behind Yan Ming and Dian Wei, who were full of anxiety and uneasy expressions, but they were really startled.
With the joy of everyone, Wang Xu also told everyone about the experience of going down, which made the three people who couldn't go down sigh. But now that the matter has passed, everyone stopped thinking about it after listening to it, and turned their attention back to the treasure that was brought out of this box.
It's a pity that the three of them were obviously not interested in the gold and silver treasures that Song Qian and Jia Hua took out, which made the two of them a little embarrassed, but in the end, Wang Xu stood up with a smile and let the two discuss it by themselves, and each took it home to hide it.
It was the two swords that Wang Xu had taken a fancy to that attracted everyone's attention, and when Xu Sheng carefully looked at the sword body, he suddenly became excited. stared at Wang Xu with burning eyes and said, "Lord, these are two world-famous swords!" What a sword! Good sword ......"
Seeing that Xu Sheng couldn't get to the point, Wang Xu suddenly said anxiously: "I know it's a good sword, don't you repeat it." The point is, what kind of sword is this, exactly? What exactly does the words engraved on the sword mean? ”
Seeing Wang Xu's impatient appearance, Xu Sheng smiled instead, and pondered for a long time before he said word by word: "This sword is a pair of male and female, and it is a sword of love." The male sword is a general, and the female sword is not evil! ”
