Volume 2 Mirror Lake Water Moon 026 - Treasure Secrets
At that moment, the magpie broke away from the yellow warbler and blocked Fan Mingen's front, the bullet passed through her chest, and she fell hard.
"Magpie, magpie! Why are you so stupid! Fan Mingen hugged her, trying to stop the bubbling blood with his hands.
"Ming'en ......" Magpie reached out and stroked his face, "I remember you promised me that you would take me out...... Look at the ...... from all over the world."
"Okay," he picked her up and stood up, "Magpie, don't sleep, I'll take you there!" β
The magpie smiled contentedly and put her hands around his neck tightly. Fan Mingen hugged her and walked slowly towards the door, and the people standing at the door invariably got out of the way. However, as he was about to cross the threshold with one foot, the magpie's eyes closed and his hand hung down.
"Magpieβ" The yellow warbler knelt on the ground and let out a terrible cry.
Fan Mingen hugged the magpie's body and couldn't cry. He never imagined that the magpie, despite knowing who he was and knowing that he had done so many bad things, would stand in front of him without hesitation. A smile from the past appeared in front of him, and the beauty of the past could no longer be found, and at this moment, he really regretted it. He did not stop the magpie's deathbed wish, he wanted to fulfill her.
"Fan Mingen, you stop!" The yellow warbler shouted, "Put the magpie down!" β
"Huang Ying," Fan Mingen turned around, "The magpie wants to go out and have a look, I'll take her out." β
"I can take her out on my own, I don't need you." Huang Ying's eyes were red and she glared at him.
"She wants to follow me, I will marry her, and I will never leave her again." Fan Mingen looked at the magpie and said gently.
"Then you can't go either!" Zhu Jinghong's gun was aimed at him again.
"Murder pays for life, you killed the magpie and the cuckoo, do you want to escape so easily?" Master Liu Zhuang also stopped in front of him.
Fan Mingen smiled: "Kill if you want, kill it, there are so many of you, I am not an opponent." In this battle, I tried my best, but I still lost. You didn't win either, though. β
"Stay with me to find out the treasure, and I can spare your life."
What the! Everyone in the room looked at Zhu Jinghong in shock. Lord Liu turned to look at Huang Ying with an inquiring gaze, and Huang Ying shook his head. She planned to bring Zhu Jinghong back to open the treasure, but before discussing it with Master Liu, she never revealed the news of the treasure.
"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu was worried that something would happen one day, and for the sake of long-term peace and stability, he ordered the Liu family, who were good at feng shui, and the Wu family, who were good at organs, to hide a treasure in a secret place, and it would appear in case it was used by future generations. On the day of the closure of the mountain, Emperor Taizong rewarded the two families and ordered the Liu family to guard here for generations. When Emperor Taizu was alive, he told this secret to Emperor Jianwen, and then there was a change in Jingjing, Emperor Jianwen disappeared, and no one knew the news of the treasure from then on. If Emperor Chongzhen had gotten the treasure back then, the world would not have been Manchurian Tatars. β
"You are a descendant of Emperor Jianwen?" Huang Ying understood, his surname was Zhu.
"Yes, Emperor Jianwen was rescued by the palace people and lived outside the palace. His dormitory was burned down, and the map and mechanism map of the treasure disappeared from then on, and Emperor Jianwen wrote down only eight secret words describing the location of the treasure and passed it on to his descendants. It was only after I got here that I realized that this is where the first four secret phrases describe it. β
"Humph! Bounty? Is it a reward for a full house of beheadings? Fan Mingen, who had already let go of his hatred because of the magpie's death, suddenly said gloomily, "If it weren't for the ancestors who had a premonition of the crisis and sent their newborn son out in advance, the Wu family would have been doomed." The ancestor was wise, and sent the mechanism map and the secret language together with the young son, but unfortunately the secret language was still lost two sentences, so that it was not until my generation that I found this place. β
"So, you're here for revenge?" Huang Ying only knows the first paragraph, but does not know the back story.
"Yes, it's your Liu family, and your hands are stained with the blood of my Wu family. One of you is sitting on the country, and the other is living a life in paradise, how comfortable, only our Wu family should die? β
"Mingen, this is already a grievance five hundred years ago, it should have been let go a long time ago, why are you still so persistent, the cuckoo and the magpie are sincere to you, if you let go and stay in Shuiyue Villa, we will be a family in the future."
"Huang Ying, if you had said that before, I might have listened to you. But it's too late now, the magpie and the cuckoo are dead, even if I let go, you won't let me go, this knot can't be untied. β
"You are really a descendant of the Wu family," Zhu Jinghong interrupted the two of them, "Fan Mingen? Anti-Ming? Well? That's an interesting name. Master Liu, I am a descendant of the Zhu family, do I have the right to open the treasure? β
For the people of the Zhu family, they can be regarded as half masters, and the owner of Liu Zhuang is still very respectful, and he arched his hand and said: "The ancestor of the Liu family, the real dragon has not appeared, and the treasure must not be born." I also asked Zhu Gongzi to take the token. β
"True dragon, now that it's the Republic of China, how can there be any real dragon? The token was burned down five hundred years ago, and only the three of us know this secret in this world, isn't this the best token? β
Master Liu Zhuang arched his hand again: "In this case, Master Zhu, Liu will forgive his fate." In addition to the true dragon Xian, there is another condition for the ancestors, the use of the treasure must be for the country and the people. Zhu Gongzi also said that there is no real dragon now, if Zhu Gongzi just wants to take this wealth as his ancestral inheritance, then Liu can only say sorry. β
"Lord Liu has repeatedly shirked, could it be that you Shuiyue Villa wants to take the treasure for yourself?" Zhu Jinghong's face was a little unsightly.
Lord Liu Zhuang was neither humble nor arrogant: "Zhu Gongzi said that he laughed, if I want to take the treasure for myself, I will already occupy it on the day of the death of the Ming Dynasty, why do I need to rely on the reward of the year to keep it until now, and I will not see the light of day." Besides, although we are guarding here, we don't know the entrance to the treasure, and we can't crack the mechanism inside. β
"Lord Liu Zhuang is really loyal to Emperor Daming and Emperor Taizu, but the owner of the village, Daming has long since died, and now it is the Republic of China. I think the owner should also be flexible, not just loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but loyal to the Republic of China, loyal to tens of thousands of people across the country. Jing Hong said this, not to take the wealth for himself, I don't know if the owner knows the outside world, since the Japanese occupied the Northeast, they have intensified, this money I want to use to resist Japan. As for the real dragon that the owner said, Jing Hong is foolish, and it is on the Yan'an side. β
"Dad, Jing Hong is right. It is already related to the survival of the country and the nation, and the treasure should indeed be born, and I came back with him this time to see if I could open the treasure and use it to resist Japan. β
After thinking for a moment, Master Liu Zhuang muttered: "In this case, as long as Zhu Gongzi can match his words and deeds, I have no opinion. β
"Brother Wu, since you have come here, you must also be bound to obtain the treasure, and you should know the method of cracking the mechanism. I also ask Brother Wu to abandon his previous suspicions and help us open the treasure for the sake of the people. Jinghong can promise to let you leave safely after the deed is completed, and can also give you a sum of money to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing in this life. β
Seeing that Fan Mingen did not respond, Zhu Jinghong said again: "I think the Liu family just acted according to orders, and the mastermind behind the Wu family tragedy was Emperor Taizu." If Brother Wu wants to take revenge, when the treasure is opened, my life will be yours. But you also have to promise me not to touch this treasure and help me send it to Yan'an. β
"Zhu Gongzi ......" Seeing this, Master Liu Zhuang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Ming'en, you have always been my son-in-law, I call you Ming'en, I think you know the situation better than me, Zhu Gongzi is right, this wealth is the best choice to use to resist Japan." If you must take revenge, you can also take the life of the old man. But you also have to promise the old man to treat Huang Ying well and help her send the treasure to Yan'an. β
"Daddy! Jinghong! Seeing that they had made up their minds, Huang Ying turned to Fan Mingen again, "Mingen? β
"Okay, I promise you. I don't want the treasure, I don't want your lives, let me take the magpie away. β
"No way!" Huang Ying was the first to object.
"I promise you."
"Daddy!"
"Huang Ying, this is what the magpie wants, let's fulfill her."
Huang Ying was speechless, so she had to agree: "Okay, you put the magpie down first, and we will go to find the treasure." β
"I'll take the yellow warbler with me too." Fan Mingen looked at her and made a new request.
"No way!" It was Zhu Jinghong who spoke.
"Hehe, Zhu Gongzi doesn't focus on the great cause of resisting Japan, what's the matter, is this one person missing? Yellow warbler, come with me, so that we and the magpie will never be separated. β
"Anyone can do it, but my wife, no!" Zhu Jinghong didn't back down.
The two words of wife stung Fan Mingen deeply, and he looked at Huang Ying: "What he said is true?" β
Huang Ying nodded: "Yes." β
"Hehehehehe, okay." He put the magpie on the bed, "Let's go, go find the treasure." β
"Don't worry, I haven't unraveled the secret language yet, some things need to be confirmed with the owner, and your hands also need to be dealt with." Zhu Jinghong said and walked out, and the owner of Liu Zhuang followed out with Steward Liu.
Huang Ying pulled Fan Mingen to sit down and help him bandage his wounds, Fan Mingen didn't move, just looked at her quietly, enjoying this rare tenderness. She is different from magpies and cuckoos, she gave herself to the Water Moon Villa, everything is in the interests of the Water Moon Villa, she wanted to take her away with the treasure and the magpie, but she didn't want to ......
"Huang Ying, I still have some things I don't understand."
"Just ask." At this moment, it was as if everything had vanished, and only calm remained.
"Why are you guarding me all the time?"
"Because I see you torn between magpies and cuckoos, this kind of person is either inherently bad or has a plan, no matter which one it is, I have to guard against it."
"Why don't you believe that I treat you sincerely?" He was suddenly a little sad.
"Believe," Huang Ying looked up at him, "I've always believed it." β
With a burst of excitement in his heart, he stared into her eyes to confirm again, and then asked, "Then ...... you?"
"I was born destined to stay in Shuiyue Villa, and you, after all, are outsiders. Both the magpie and the cuckoo have a deep affection for you, and they both want to go outside and see ......."
"So you left on purpose?"
"I left, hoping that without me you could handle the matter between you and the magpie and the cuckoo, I was naΓ―ve. Second, I wanted to find an opportunity to make the treasure born, and I found it. β
"Now that the treasure is born, you don't have to guard the Water Moon Villa anymore. Huang Ying, you left for me, but why ......"
"I just agreed to Jinghong's marriage proposal, and I haven't married yet. But between us, it's no longer possible. β
"Then why did you come back with him?"
"I received a letter from my father saying that something had happened in the village. It happened that Jinghong was worried about preparing for the salary, so I brought him back. I arrived the night before yesterday, and Uncle Liu personally picked me up and took me to my father's room, just in case, I had other ways to communicate with my father, and I probably knew the truth. β
"How did you do that?"
"I made an appointment with Jing Hong, if I didn't return at the end of the day, he would help me save my father, and at the same time, I could also create a chance for myself to escape. And I made a code on the letter to the magpie, which only our sisters could understand. I told Jing Hong that after saving my father, first hide my father in the original room and don't run around, wait until you find out and then take my father away, and when you go back to investigate again to no avail, then take your father back to his house, which will become the safest place at that time. β
"Huang Ying, I don't regret coming to Shuiyue Villa, because there are you here. But I regret it, and what I regret most is not that I failed to live up to the magpie's affection for me, I regret that I didn't treat you wholeheartedly in the first place. If I hadn't provoked the magpies and cuckoos, I wouldn't have made them wrong, they wouldn't have died miserably, and I would ...... you."
"What's the point of saying this now, you were afraid that you were bent on revenge, and you provoked magpies and cuckoos, not just to find out the news, with your cleverness, you will understand that they don't know anything with a little contact. I think, this is how you take revenge on the Liu family, and let the daughters of the Liu family fall into your hands. β
"Huang Ying, you still understand me. Can we ......?"
Huang Ying shook her head slightly.
"I see. If you need it one day, I will always be there for you. β
"Okay."
